Chapter 791: The Origin of Trade Distribution Office
“We were still thinking about what to eat because we were too tired to have the energy to eat, but the result was that the village was considerate, the mutton soup was good, and the staple food was good.”
Zhu Yuanzhang changed into regular clothes for dinner. The emperor's clothes were afraid of getting dirty and difficult to wash.
That piece of clothing is valuable. It was embroidered bit by bit by an embroiderer. It was a large-scale event for a sacrifice, so the clothes had to be changed immediately after wearing them.
Including the clothes of the ministers, they were specially brought here and issued by the court. If they resign, the clothes must be returned.
Unless you leave with your rank or title, then your clothes will follow you and you will be buried together when you are gone.
The court uniform is beautiful and solemn, and the ceremony is complicated and solemn. This is the beauty of the uniform and the great etiquette of the summer.
Everyone worked so late last night, and then squinted for a while. Another morning, some people secretly took the village's Jiuxin Pill, the one with toad cinnamon. Yes, this medicine is the most important ingredient.
It is now the first day of the first lunar month, February 20th in the Gregorian calendar, and the rain falls on February 18th. It’s so tidal in Nanjing
What to eat is a question. Xiaqiu Village chooses mutton soup. Beef and onion siomai, pies, and rolls, as well as small flower rolls and fried steamed buns.
Children with bad teeth need to eat complementary foods, such as soup, egg custard, and soft beef patties.
Beef patties are the most technical. When stirring the beef normally, it should be in one direction, especially when making beef balls, it should be stirred hard to make it taste good.
Switch it to children, do the opposite, just make it as you like. It tastes very bad to adults, but babies like it.
As for those who have bad teeth and need to use steamed buns or Hanaki to soak in soup, or eat noodles, there is no such thing. These officials who are qualified to participate in sacrifices are responsible for the teeth of themselves and their families.
For example, the sixty-two-year-old mother of Liu Weiqian, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, has suffered a lot. She only has four teeth left, and now her mouth is full of them. If she has no money, she can pick them off and sell them, and she can live for a few years. , the old woman among the village elders is eating mutton chops with her.
There is no way for the children who have had their teeth replaced. , it still doesn’t fall off, so I might as well
I pulled it out during the night vigil after eating, and applied watermelon cream on it. Now I feel a little uncomfortable eating, and I can’t speak clearly, but it doesn’t hurt.
"Your Majesty, don't drink too quickly. The restaurant is comfortable and has drying measures. When heated, the ventilation fan rotates to exhaust the air."
The chief was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang had just finished his work and had to eat. It's so fast that my heart can't bear it.
"When we were fighting with the enemy, we never thought about it. Next year we will have our own pepper."
Zhu Yuanzhang scooped pepper into the bowl and drank the mutton soup with pepper. Best, if there is no pepper, you can only add Sichuan peppercorns.
The price of pepper is high and has never been cheaper since the Tang Dynasty. The main reason is that Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Qiongzhou and other places were the places where people were exiled and distributed.
It is believed that the miasma there is heavy and unsuitable for human life, and it is difficult for local indigenous people and mountain people to control it.
The method previously proposed by Xiaqiu Village was to grow medicinal materials and seasonings in these places.
But Yunnan is not allowed. The king of Liang in the Northern Yuan Dynasty is in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Qiongzhou. You can grow it at will.
Just like sugar cane, troops were sent to Fujian to plant it. It is perennial and harvested for sugar production every year. If you have too many ideas and see that it is not growing neatly, just dig it out in order and then plant it.
In fact, there is already a little peppercorn production this year, but it is too few. There will be more peppercorns in Qiongzhou next year, and then it will enter the peak production period.
It can be said that the Lichang is now different from what it used to be. As soon as I heard what His Majesty said, I immediately understood that it was definitely not a matter of eating mutton soup. Pepper is medicine, and it can also make spicy soup.
"Your Majesty, we will be able to eat plantains next year. Now all we eat are dried plantain slices. The ship is not fast enough. With a steam engine ship, we can go there.
We can't go there in the future. As a place where officials were exiled or demoted, especially Yazhou, the winter there is not cold and there is no moisture in all seasons.
The bananas there are delicious. Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty wrote that the bananas are not grown. Cloves are knotted, and they are worried about the same spring breeze. "
It seems that eating things like bananas are not available in ordinary places, such as Nanjing, unless they are placed in greenhouses.
"What is this?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and turned to look at Zeng Lu.
"Your Majesty, Li Shangyin seemed to be writing a love poem, but in fact he was telling the emperor at the time that the lilacs in Chang'an were good, but there were no bananas. Li Shangyin was demoted to Yazhou, so he wrote bananas and lilacs.
At the same time, there is also a poem about the sunrise shining on a tall building in the southeast, and people on the top of it sing about Shizhou. Shizhou is near the land of His Highness the King of Jin, not far from Chang'an.
He used this to tell the emperor at the time that he wanted to return to Chang'an. The overall situation in the Tang Dynasty was not good at that time and was still affected by the Anshi Rebellion."
Zeng Lu told Zhu Yuanzhang the situation. Li Shangyin was not a simple person. What kind of woman are you thinking about?
"What about going to and from exile?" Zhu Yuanzhang understood and began to worry at the same time.
Ministers ""
Your Majesty, why do you have to think about this? We have worked hard so far and are not greedy. You give more.
If you insist on taking us somewhere, we can’t go to Qiongzhou. The environment there is good and it supports people. Guangdong, Guangxi and Lakes will become planting areas, Fujian sugar cane and trade.
"It's appropriate to be long, tell me which one is better?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked the chief again.
Li Chang ""
He regretted it. He had known that he would not have said this. Now if he said where to send people, wouldn't he offend the civil and military officials of the dynasty
So He replied, "Your Majesty, the northwest, the grape-growing areas and plateau areas in the northwest, where ordinary people can't stand drought, altitude sickness, cold, and heat."
The leader pointed out the route, which is Xinjiang and Tibet, Hainan No, how is Hainan?
At the same time, grasslandNo, grasslands are also rich in resources, especially Helin, which is under construction.
Yunnan, Yunnan is suitable for growing a large number of tropical crops, and the Northeast is full of good things.
The only ones left are Xinjiang, which does not have mechanized cotton cultivation, and Tibet, which does not have tourism. If you throw people over, it is estimated that some people will suffer from altitude sickness before they can reach the place.
"Sure, that's right. Let's add some soup. Thank you for pouring a little soup before. Otherwise, if you don't throw it away, it will be thrown away along with the seasonings. If you don't throw it away, it will be cold. Why don't you sit on the stove? Go up and heat it up."
Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied, glanced at the ministers, and asked for more soup.
Everyone’s soup is not full. It only contains a third of the dry goods. Drink a little and add a little, so there is no waste. Pepper is still not very cheap.
Zhu Yuanzhang was waiting for the pepper produced in his own Ming Dynasty to come out, so as to suppress the pepper of the Yi people. We have it in the Ming Dynasty, and there are a lot of it. Why do you sell it so expensive
Like Rock sugar, you got it from outside before, but now you have to buy it from us. We don’t want jewelry for now. We will give you food, medicinal materials, gold and silver.
As for pearls, when we have artificially raised pearls over there, there will be no shortage of medicinal ones. Don’t even think about raising the price, we won’t buy your pearls.
