Chapter 819 Question about Ming Dynasty Maritime Treasures
"Your Majesty, let's take a group photo of the meal," the chief asked.
"What's so good about eating? I'll take a photo today. Let's see who else will be there after the Ming Dynasty develops this year."
Zhu Yuanzhang was about to refuse, but suddenly changed his mind and took the photo.
The ministers ""
Everyone feels that they are not in a good mood. If they are not in the new photo next year, where will they go?
Where can I go to the Lord? I can do politics, but I am afraid that I will have nothing to do and will be driven home.
Everyone understands that His Majesty likes to send ministers from various ministries downwards, usually wherever there is instability.
For example, Sichuan, the Xia Kingdom, which was conquered before, needed someone to take charge the most, so the Sichuan Zhongshu Province was set up there, and Liu Weiqian, the Minister of Punishment, was appointed to participate in politics.
Last summer, he was busy taking people there to avoid the floods, and planting mustard greens. He would wait for the harvest in a few days this year, and then sell the money to plant other crops.
When important ministers go to a place, they are definitely not being demoted. They are worried about the instability there. If this continues, they will come back when there is a chance.
For those who were driven away and returned home, everything is over and they can enjoy pastoral life at home.

The leader will operate an advanced camera and take pictures. After that, he will select the best two and develop them into photos, one for each person.
A picture without a smile, a picture with everyone smiling. The picture without a smile can be used in history books in the future to look solemn and solemn.
I was smiling to see if I could keep my job. One day, someone made His Majesty angry. His Majesty saw the photos taken by everyone laughing. What if he softened his heart?
Of course, he might be even more angry. , I took the photo and smiled for us, but it turned out to be a trick for us. The smile hides the sword, but the sweet talk hides the sword. Come on, don’t go home to farm, just bury it as fertilizer
Don’t be busy washing the photo after taking it, everyone’s family will be there tomorrow Come here, take pictures and wash them together.
Everyone continued to eat and drink leisurely. Under the lively singing and dancing, officials from various ministries chatted about work matters from time to time. It was difficult to meet and communicate directly before, but now they have the opportunity.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not have much to say with the ministers, unless the ministers had special ideas, wrote a question book and sent it, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked him alone after reading it.
When he had an idea, he said it directly to the court meeting, and everyone worked together to find a solution, and basically everything was passed.
So he chatted with the head of the village, "Yichang, we have sent people to transport the things to Lianghu and Guangzhou, but there is no news back."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, there is enough time. The people will plow the fields first, raise the seedlings at the same time, and then soak the fields with water. When the seedlings are ready, someone can transplant them faster than others.
Then some more. Fertilizer is transported to see if top dressing is needed, and simple pesticides are added, and the crops are harvested in about 120 days.
Immediately plow and plant again, so that there is no need to plant until harvest in October. .
But I know how to plow, and use fertilizer when turning in the stubble. It will be easy to plow next year, and the stubble will also rot. ”
The chief reassured Zhu Yuanzhang that the days had been calculated. Hunan, Hubei and Guangzhou both have two crops a year, and Guangzhou’s three crops cannot be operated until enough fertilizer is available.
Two lakes and four crops It is enough to plant the rice seedlings at the beginning of the month, and then harvest them depending on the situation around mid-July.
There is little need for manpower, and all work is done mechanically. Craftsmen are sent over to do the work, and local people are hired to help. Work harder and repair broken ones.
Historically, there were few people in the two lakes, and many of the lands were left uncultivated. People migrated there, and because they could grow two crops of rice a year, they paid more land tax. The people quit working and go to live elsewhere.
The people are more willing to plant crops three times in two years. It is not so tiring. Just do the math and you will know that in March, you will raise seedlings here and plow the land. OK, transplant the rice seedlings.
You can’t take a breath before plowing again. Planting the seedlings before harvesting, plowing and then transplanting the rice seedlings is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people, especially manual plowing. < /p>
The people need livestock, many big animals, and fertilizers, the more the better.
Not to mention Guangzhou, in theory, there are three crops of rice a year, and the people cannot bear the high intensity.
Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips and thought for a moment, "With such good technology now, we would still be worried, if not."
He was afraid at this moment, the master of Xiaqiu Village gave it to him. There are too many, and all kinds of technologies are thrown out, but it still feels not enough.
According to normal circumstances, like other dynasties, how can we survive without experts?
"Your Majesty. , shipbuilding requires more manpower, and a large amount of cowhide is needed. Sheepskin is easy to rot, and pigskin has large pores and gaps, so cowhide is most suitable for sealing materials.
We must go to sea quickly to find better things and exchange for the cowhide from outside. We can trade by ourselves and make more money. "
Li Chang doesn't think about other things. He is more focused on how to develop quickly. Cowhide is used as a sealing material better than other leathers.
"Send people. If you want to build ships, you should build a fleet early. The people of Ming Dynasty have eaten meat for a long time. If it doesn’t work, let’s use boats to catch fish in the sea, which is also meat.”
Zhu Yuanzhang decided to continue to increase investment. He has learned that, regardless of fatness, People like to eat meat. If you eat too much lean meat, it is better than fat meat and you will gain weight faster. In fact, lean meat is a good supplement for people who work. It is made with vegetable oil and adds some sugar, such as Guobao Pork.
Guobao Pork is made of lean meat. It uses tenderloin, which is wrapped in batter and fried three times. Finally, it is filled with a sauce of sugar and vinegar. Turn it over, it’s delicious.
Steamed and braised sea fish are equally fragrant, even if they are dried sea fish, they can be eaten after being soaked and steamed to satisfy the cravings of ministers and palaces. People, the demand for fat meat is gradually decreasing. In the past, it was delicious to cook the fat meat directly and eat it with some salt. But now it is not possible. It is disgusting.
It has to be made into Sichuan white pork, twice-cooked pork, stew, and pickled vegetables. Meat, steamed pork with rice flour, and steamed pork with rice flour
Anyway, you can’t make it so that people don’t get tired of eating it. Or simply stuffing it with stuffing or stuffing it with sausage seems to be a good idea.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to catch more fish. There were countless fish in the sea. Steam-powered boats were fast and carried many things. He would go out in the middle of the night with lights to lure fish and come back in the morning, or go out before dawn. Come back in the afternoon or evening.
The nearby ministers heard this and knew that the center of gravity of the imperial court had begun to shift, tilting towards the sea. There was no need to waste people and money, and all the craftsmen were used.
Ordinary people do whatever they should do in their daily lives, and then there are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Navy. They need to learn a lot, especially navigation knowledge.
In the past, I used to go to sea to look at compasses and stars. The charts were very crude, but it was no problem to go to the surrounding places. It wasn’t until the Ming Dynasty that I started trading with the barbarians.
Things have changed now. There is more knowledge to master and new equipment to be used skillfully.
After lunch, it was four o'clock in the afternoon. The ministers, who were feeling comfortable after drinking, took a small train to Xihua Gate. Their followers, servants, etc. were resting and eating there, waiting for them.
Put a large amount of food into their food boxes, the attendants took the baskets, and everyone went home.
Zhu Yuanzhang stayed and took a walk with the people in the village.
"Our treasure banknotes have been sent out, how have you been in the past two days?" Zhu Yuanzhang never asked, fearing that the result would be bad, so he endured it.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. With the guarantee of the village, the people are willing to exchange." The village chief assured that the treasure banknotes that were only taken out on the 16th of the first lunar month are being gradually used.
