Chapter 849 Folk Life is Happy in the Morning

Early in the morning of Qingming Festival, officials took their families to Xiaqiu Village. Zhu Yuanzhang meant to come in the afternoon, have dinner, and stay overnight to be officials tomorrow. Just in time for court.

The officials figured that since they had to come anyway, they might as well come early and arrange for their families to soak in hot springs, have meals, and have their pulse checked by the imperial doctor.

Of course, they said hello in advance and sent someone last night. I went outside Xiaqiu Village and said that I was afraid that Xiaqiu Village was not prepared, so I would make some pimple soup to deal with it.

The prepared Xiaqiu Village ate small garlic pie with wild vegetable soup this morning. In the past, I always used tamarisk to make soup, which tasted fluffy.

Today I chose Fudi vegetables to make soup. I just poked the wild vegetables with cucumber flavor twice with my hands, which is also medicine.

Tingli is also a medicine. It is planted on the ground where no one has planted it, and the seeds are harvested. The seeds are medicine, and the oil can also be squeezed to make soap.

Tingli tastes good, and Fudi vegetables are good for the stomach. The village is afraid that some people have gastrointestinal problems and will feel uncomfortable with garlic.

If the officials also have children at home, they will arrange to eat with other children.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still eating in the arrow tower watching the market below. Today he was treating the stall owners and the common people buying things to eat, something from the village.

We eat the same pie and soup, but those who eat in the village have stir-fried vegetables, while those in the market only have pickles, but not shrimp oil side dishes.

The village made Northeastern dishes of garlic eggplant and cucumbers and cowpeas soaked in a sauce vat. The cost of the vegetables in the sauce vat was high, and the sauce was not tasty after soaking.

Generally, this kind of sauce is sent to bento restaurants and used to make pickled eggplant strips, pickled dishes, or dishes that require soybean paste.

The doenjang sold in Jubiqi was also from the Northeast during Zhu Wentian's time. It has always been there. It was made by the Jurchens. It was recorded in the Yuan Dynasty and dated back to the dynasty.

The Jurchens used beans as sauce to make bean paste.

It is different from black bean paste, but some bean paste specifically contains soybean paste. This is called doubanjiang, which is different from the doubanjiang made from broad beans in Sichuan.

In the past, Jiangnan people ate less of this food, due to regional crop restrictions and dietary habits.

Zhu Wentian doesn't accept any restrictions. He will find a way to make anything he can get from all over the world. There is no pepper like pickled mustard.

"Isn't it salty that people like to eat pickles?" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his telescope to look at it.

"Try it, Your Majesty." The chief had nothing to say and motioned to the child to get the pickles. There were stir-fried vegetables today, but no pickles were included.

But there are mixed cold dishes, shredded radish, yuba, dried tofu, dried tofu, cucumber, shredded kelp, Gelili, spring onions mixed with tofu, celery, lotus root slices, bamboo shoots

etc. After getting the things, Zhu Yuanzhang tasted them, "It's salty and delicious. The sauce jar dish is filled with sesame and sesame oil. The garlic eggplant with coriander also tastes good. Now that I think about it, all the dishes in our village are delicious."

"From now on, we will eat here in the morning and see the people. We cannot go out anywhere else. It will be difficult to be an emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang took two bites of the pickles but refused to eat them. He was afraid that he would have to drink water.

He found that this location was good. He could see the normal life of the people at any time, and the buying and selling of things were all real.

"From now on, let the people sell their own breakfast. The village will not do it. They will only give some pickles, dumplings and shredded vegetables, and send the leftovers to the Yangtze Yuan."

The village chief suggested that it would look like a market. More realistically, there will be people selling tofu cakes, sesame cakes, cooking cakes, fried buns, and wontons

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and nodded, "Don't stop drinking boiled water. Drinking raw water is easy for insects to grow, unless it is mountain spring water. We didn't know this before, no wonder there are always people with worms in their stomachs."

After breakfast, the officials and their families lined up to see the imperial doctor for a physical examination to see if they were sick. If they felt uncomfortable, they took the initiative to tell the imperial doctor.

This is a benefit that Zhu Yuanzhang gave to officials. Let the officials work hard, and their family members will help take care of them. If there is any problem, don't blame him for falling out.

The court officials are as honest as quails. The main reason is that they are too busy and have no time for intrigues. There are a lot of things waiting to be dealt with.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang has great control over the army. The soldiers support his Majesty. His Majesty gives good things during wars, teaches literacy, doubles military pay, and has good weapons.

Family members of soldiers are also allowed to engage in other professions, saying that soldiers can become officials in the future.

The prestige of Xu Da and other generals was decreasing step by step, and they could not struggle even if they knew clearly.

“Someone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate impeached me for taking a stamped empty booklet when transporting land tax from various places, and then went to the local area to fill it out. It is the same as the accounts of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Do you have any ideas?”

He took a look at Hu Weiyong first and did not mention the local impeachment of Hu Weiyong. The official who ignored it and investigated the impeachment later was undoubtedly very guilty

The ministers were silent together. Everyone knows it, but there is nothing they can do about it. Everyone knows what the problem is, and they can only run back and forth without taking a blank book. This is what the Yuan Dynasty did.

"Yan Qing" Zhu Yuanzhang named Yan Xizhe, the Minister of Household Affairs.

Yan Xizhe came out and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of printing empty books is not a matter of this day, and the solution is not an ordinary method. I regret that I don't know."

After saying this, he simply knelt down. Well, there is no other way. If there are losses during transportation, then the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Affairs will first sort out the data based on local conditions and not inform the local authorities yet.

When the grain is transported from the local government, I have to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs how much I should send. It means I have to transport too much, and there will be losses on the way.

The Ministry of Revenue gave the data, and the local officials took a look at it and said, OK, that’s it, I filled it in.

I sold the remaining grain and returned to the local area with other things. , if there are delays on the road and excessive losses, we can borrow grain from the nearby state capital and use the data given by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Otherwise, the local government fills in the data first, then goes to Nanjing, which is different from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and has to call it back for re-examination.

Guangzhou and Shanxi are very far apart. Hunan and Hubei are not bad, as they are connected by the Yangtze River.It's faster to take the water route.

"Yu Qing" Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Yan Xizhe first and called another Hubu Shangshu, Yu Pu.

“I am incompetent.” Yu Pu knelt down and had nothing to say.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could ask again, Ma Gui, the third minister of household affairs, knelt down without saying a word.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at the others. Everyone knelt down one after another, including Hu Weiyong, with a depressed look on his face.

"Alas" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and sighed, "We are not trying to kill people. We all know the matter. Sirs, please get up. We have a method and I will tell you about it."

Everyone looked up and said to each other Look, my eyes are full of surprise. This thing can still solve unsolvable problems. Either run back and forth, or just print in vain.

If it’s so easy to handle, why didn’t anyone in the Yuan Dynasty figure it out? Don’t they have any powerful people?

“Get up and wait for me to help you celebrate the festival today, and come to have some fun with you. By the way, let's see if you have any better ideas. If not, forget it. We won't force it, just get up."

Zhu Yuanzhang urged, with a look of contempt on his face, but the officials couldn't do anything. They stood up and looked towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

“We must first understand one question: why food from other places should be transported to the Rouge River in the capital just for the convenience of water transportation.

In the past, the capital had many people and lacked food, but now it does not. If there is a shortage, why should we transport those grains?

So we thought about it and remembered what someone said. They gave a word, called the local treasury, and he said this."
