'Zhila~~Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp...'
It's the 17th of June in the great heat. This year, the dog days last for thirty days. It's now the sixth day of the early dog days. At noon, it's hot and the cicadas are endless. The ground screamed.
The wheat harvest in the experimental field has been completed, the corn has been planted, and it is still early to harvest!
However, those grown individually in the greenhouse can be cooked and eaten, including peanuts and edamame, which are perfect for drinking.
"Hanhan, why don't you feel comfortable with the air conditioner blowing at night? It's chilly."
Zhu Yuanzhang came to Xiaqiu Village on a day that was not a day of rest and solar terms, and the ministers also followed him. Come, it's hot, come over for a dinner and take something home.
Recently, foreign trade has been relatively good, and the Suez Canal connecting the Mediterranean to the Red Sea in Europe has been dug.
It is not called Suez now. This river existed in previous dynasties, and then it was filled in, dug out, and filled in again.
To transport things there, you have to take a land route. Most of the Yi people who come to the Ming Dynasty are Arabs, that is, they are cannibals.
But during the Yuan Dynasty, they had already fought overland in Europe.
Due to transportation needs, Yi merchants, local tribal leaders, kings, etc. worked together to dig out more. The amount of work was not as large as in later generations.
There is no need to use aircraft carriers or hundreds of thousands of tons of cargo ships, as long as you can use sea trading ships, it will be no problem.
The barbarians themselves did not have an accurate number of how many slaves died, and Zhu Yuanzhang naturally did not know, and he did not care. Anyway, his Ming people did not die.
With a sea route, travel is convenient, so you don’t have to worry about selling things!
Coupled with the booming development of industry, inland waterway transportation uses a large number of steam engines and ships, making logistics smooth.
Not yet the end of June, the semi-annual report estimates that the imperial court's fiscal revenue in the first half of the year was more than 20 million yuan, and the palace's income was more than 16 million yuan.
According to this development, the total income will be more than 70 million yuan this year.
We are currently working hard to build a granary to store enough grain for nine years. The mechanized operation in the two lakes area is really impressive.
Corn seeds are also allocated to some areas for planting winter wheat, especially in Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places, and also in Anhui and Jiangsu.
There is none in the Northeast. Spring wheat is planted in the Northeast, but it has not been harvested yet! If conditions permit, rice is grown by throwing the seedlings. Anyway, it is only one crop.
If you plant spring wheat followed by corn, you will only be able to harvest silage, and frost will fall before the corn matures.
The large refrigerator for making ice cubes is now available, and the large air conditioner has been installed. It was installed six days ago. We will continue to manufacture it and install it in other places. First, install one for Zhu Yuanzhang.
The noise is relatively loud, but it doesn’t matter. Play it far away. The house is big anyway, so you won’t be able to hear the sound if you are far away.
It is small and unproduced. The technical requirements are too high. It takes a lot of effort to make one and is not worth it.
The first time the air conditioner was turned on, Zhu Yuanzhang felt cold. He wanted to turn it on again, but was unwilling to adjust the temperature back and forth. He used to turn on the fan and add ice cubes.
"Quilt, silk, tussah, filling, eh! Hey hey hey..."
Zhu Wentian was grilling skewers there. It is most comfortable to eat grilled skewers and drink cold beer on a hot day.
The large barrel containing the beer was buried with crushed ice. , if it was not cool enough, he added ice cubes to the cup.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang ask, he remembered that the air conditioner was not installed in Xiaqiu Village. To be precise, it was not installed at home, but in the cafeteria. , to blow the fan at home, wait for it to be remade and then install it in each building.
There is no need to cover the canteen with air-conditioning quilts, so he forgot to blow the air-conditioning quilt. Without the air-conditioning quilt, it will really feel cold.
If the tussah silkworms in the Northeast eat the live pupae first, they will not be able to reel the silk properly. They can only take out the silk and ball it up as stuffing.
There is a technique that can be used after removing the live pupae. Silk can still be reeled out, but the equipment requirements are not met and the basic industry is too far behind.
Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."
"Hanhan, you have become a normal person. , don’t always speak like that with a maximum of three words, and ah! Hey hey hey, it needs to be changed. "
Zhu Yuanzhang reminded, why do you pretend every day? Are you addicted?
"Yeah! Hey..." Zhu Wentian nodded, almost losing control, and quickly switched: "It would be better to put the refrigeration and ice-making equipment on the big ship!
Coupled with the original method of distilling seawater using sunlight, fresh water can be produced faster.
Add a small wind turbine and blow it slowly. You don’t have to connect the fuel generator to the electricity. Time on the sea is the least valuable anyway.
As mentioned before, some places have never seen ice in their lives, so they go there with ice-making equipment to sell ice.
Don’t send the koalas back for now. They will starve to death without food. The leaves brought back cannot solve the long-term problem. The koalas will wait until next year, when the eucalyptus saplings can provide them with food. food.
Dragon Blood Island must be controlled and have a good relationship with the locals. Anyway, they have a small population and little fighting power.
That was a place that the cannibals had known for a long time, and Egypt also knew that the person in power was Pharaoh.
However, due to the inconvenience of shipping, it is more troublesome for them to go back and forth once. ”
Zhu Wentian talked about the situation on Socotra Island in Australia and Yemen. The navy of the Ming Dynasty was so courageous. They dared to go there after being given a rough chart.
According to time estimates, the second group of teams heading to America is coming back soon. They are going to pick up rubber. The rubber trees they planted cannot be harvested yet, so they can only get it from there.
The third and fourth groups set off one after another. In the past, they were responsible for finding islands in the sea, building bases there, and establishing good relations with the locals.
The fleet was the same as the first time, bringing doctors and medicine. This was to win people's hearts and minds. A good thing to fool the local indigenous people.
“Can it be eaten? Give us two strings. "Zhu Yuanzhang reached out for mutton skewers.
Ling'er put the meat skewers on a tray and brought it to the table: "Does your Majesty eat garlic? ”
“Don’t eat it, it tastes like garlic, Ling’er, what are you doing?”..." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ling'er's belly rudely.
His second daughter-in-law was pregnant, Ling'er said, but there was no movement from Ling'er himself.
Zhu Yuanzhang I'm still waiting for the master's child to be born! Could it be that I have some... disease?
"Brother Hanhan said that I have to wait for another two years to have a child, so I should learn more now and don't be in a hurry. "
Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled. Brother Hanhan said that as soon as a woman has children, she starts to be busy with children, one after another, and she ages quickly.
Wait until you are twenty. There are still a few years left before we have children!
Now it’s time to play and study, no need to look at other people’s opinions. Who dares to refute the opinion of the village guardian? >Zhu Yuanzhang did not shy away from it, but supported it: "That's right, the second daughter-in-law has nothing to say, she turns out to be a good bow and horse.
Other women should not give birth to children after getting married, but should practice more, doing the splits and so on, so that they can endure the pain of skeletal changes during childbirth and reduce the rate of dystocia.
Don’t practice if you are not married, otherwise your husband’s family may not believe you. "
He then talked about exercise. Women doing the splits can reduce the rate of dystocia, and at the same time, it is easier for women to miss something, such as blood, during the wedding night.
"Yes! After getting married, I practiced and fought well... Oh! "
Ling'er echoed, wanted to say something but shook her head, turned around and went to deliver kebabs to others.
She originally wanted to say that many men died in wars, whether they were unmarried or not. Those who get married will have widows. There are more women than men, and it is difficult for widows to marry.
If you don’t get married, the family income will be low. After all, men are the main labor force. There are many polygamists among the people, but due to legal restrictions, there can only be one wife, so the status of other women must be low.
She wanted to ask whether everyone can be treated as equals, and then remembered what Brother Hanhan said, The right to speak is in the hands of men. How can men agree to it in order to control the family?
Forget it, don’t worry about it, work harder to study technology and improve Ming’s productivity.
" Linger, do you want to take out the good perfume and sell it to the barbarians? We saved a lot of ingredients, and we picked up a lot of ambergris on the Dragon Blood Island.
In addition, according to the rules of ocean currents, there are quite a lot of them found in Dashi and Tianzhu. Thanks to them, many locals don't know that thing.
People who live by the sea cannot stare at that thing every day, like a stone. ”
Empress Ma, who came with her, changed the subject rather abruptly, but no one cared about it.
The perfume she was talking about was one that uses ambergris as a fixative, and other things. The deodorants are already on sale, but they are expensive.
Because the Yi people there have very, very strong body odor, the soaps were selling well before.
The key is. The local people, even the people of Dashi and Tianzhu, don’t know what ambergris is, and their own records are not correct until Xiaqiu Village.After talking about it, I realized that the thing was a foreign object in the intestine of a sperm whale, like a pearl.
But this has not been spread and cannot be told to other people, otherwise they will kill whales in large numbers.
Ling'er shook her head vigorously: "Queen, we have to keep it. Ambergris can be kept for a long, long time. It is available in a large area over there, but the geographical location of Dragon Blood Island determines how much it is." /p>
Ling'er doesn't agree with selling good things. She doesn't sell perfumes that use ambergris as a fixative. She keeps them for herself.
I have a whole room full of ambergris, and according to the map given by Brother Hanhan, I can indeed find it.
The locals don’t know that when the Ming Dynasty Navy passed by, one piece on the left and one on the right were just like the gold river among the black people. Gold nuggets can be taken freely in the river.
"Don't sell it, keep it, you can also make incense." Zhu Wentian supported it, and this time he was no longer stupid.
The locations he gave are Madagascar, Kenya, Tanzania, Somalia, Djibouti, Yemen, Eritrea, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Maldives and other places.
The ocean currents just turn, and the main place where whales live is in Antarctica.
Who among the locals can find this thing on the beach? Not surviving? When it comes to fishing in the sea, their boats are not good enough. They mainly focus on fishing, as long as they have something to eat.
Like Lushun and Shenzhen, a small fishing village is extremely poor. How many fishermen are considering looking for ambergris every day?
So a large amount of ambergris was fished out by the Ming Dynasty Navy who specially searched for it. Not only did they fish out ambergris, but they also fished out a bunch of wood and coral. They all looked similar, but they didn’t know it. Which one is ambergris? Anyway, someone will come back and identify it.
People who go there say that the fish there are big, and you can easily catch all kinds of fish that are bigger than people.
Fortunately, there is a picture book, I know how to eat it, I can compare it, the picture is printed really clearly, the master is awesome!
"Okay, okay, I won't sell it. I won't sell it if I say it won't be sold. It's better that our life is better!"
Empress Ma smiled and nodded. She didn't want to sell it anyway. It's impossible to imagine Hanhan as enigmatic as an expert, he looks like a junior.
She believes that Ling'er has a good life and marries a powerful person. Needless to say, the whole Ming Dynasty is prosperous because of talented people, including winning battles.
Where is Wu! With Hanhan's strength and accuracy of flying sticks, all the masters in the palace, including the sword-wielder of the palace, admitted that he couldn't beat Hanhan. He was not a heavyweight at all. He tried his best and he was not afraid of death, but it was just death. It was impossible to win. .
Unless a group of people who are not afraid of death surround Hanhan and kill him, taking their lives.
Oh, use a gun!
But is it possible for a naive person to be fooled? Give you a chance to surround and kill? It’s not certain who will surround whom!
"Well! Good, fate! Hehehehehe..." Ling'er smiled with a happy face.
The officials over there are feeling the coolness of the air conditioner and looking forward to making more, then it will be installed in their homes.
There is air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter.
You must work well and get bonuses. The salary is fixed and it is difficult to increase it, but the bonus is not fixed.
Have you ever seen anyone who gets a thousand gu rewarded if things are done properly or a good idea is used and achieves results? have!
"Uncle Hanhan, I put on a hundred small meat skewers tied with wire. Help me fry them. I want ten skewers and the rest will be divided."
Zhu Xiongying He didn't make any sound. He used the thin wire as a binding wire to thread the meat skewers, a very small one, and the thumb of his left hand was bleeding.
He put on a hundred strings and it took a full two hours. He was very serious and didn't ask anyone to help him.
Zhu Wentian took the meat skewers, fried them in the oil pan next to him, and selected ten skewers for the little guy.
He looked at the remaining ninety strings and said to the ministers: "Everyone, please tell me what your merits are. If you are good at it, you can get one string."
The ministers: "..."
"What a fool! We all know that two peaches can kill three soldiers, how many do you want to kill?"
Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, who have been wandering around all day, represent their colleagues. If you ask this question, can you kill the ministers, ministers, and doctors in the six departments?
"Grandpa Liu, don't kill anyone!" The little guy said: "You share it! Whoever gets it will write a calligraphy for us. Your calligraphy is worth thousands of gold, but you have no time because of your busy schedule. Go write, I can dress quickly, so I will take advantage of it and get a copy of it to learn from."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am willing to write!"
Wei Su, who was in charge of compiling the ceremony, jumped out. He really jumped. He has a strong body and a good mental state, which are all due to his good health.
"Excuse me, bachelor." The little guy looked happy.
Someone was laying paper next to me. This is indispensable. God knows when His Majesty will ask someone to write something.
Wei Su picked up the pen and wrote the word "wisdom".
When others saw it, they enthusiastically signed up and wrote. The emperor and grandson said that they would copy it and prove that they can read it. Then something will really happen. This can be regarded as an iron scroll of alchemy, right?
Zhu Xiongying thanked each one and changed strings. His little hands were wrapped with gauze and a bow was tied on his thumb.
The ministers wrote about everything, including stability, wisdom, standing, gathering, virtue...
When he reached the eighty-ninth one, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "This After finishing writing, let Hanhan write one. Hanhan’s handwriting is beautiful. We’ve seen those manuscripts, baby! That’s not a big box of manuscripts, it’s the whole world!”
The Eighty-ninth Minister! After hearing this, he thought about the word again. He had wanted to write the word "zhuan" before. When he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he felt that he was writing a biography as if he was making a speech, so he wrote the word "皛".
Zhu Wentian was the last one. He seemed to have written the word 'Yong' in block letters on the paper with a brush without even thinking about it.
He put down his pen: "To teach children calligraphy normally, you must write the word 'Yong'. You dare not write it. WeWrite! Um! Hehehehe..."
"Uncle Hanhan, why don't they dare to write? "Zhu Xiongying doesn't understand. He is still young and has not learned this at all.
"Because the character 'Yong' is the most correct teaching method for writing regular script. You have learned the eight methods of Yong character.
But whoever dares to write this will become your master, that is, Taisun Taishi or Taisun Taifu.
There was such a person in history. Cao Cao’s later descendants were usurped by the Sima family. During the Western Jin Dynasty..."
Zhu Wentian began to tell the little guy about history, talking about Sima Lun , and talked about Sima Zang.
At that time, their Sima family was in chaos, and Sima Zang was named the grandson of the emperor. Sima Lun said that we should be his teacher!
Sima Lun couldn't do it anymore and was killed. Sima Zang couldn't do it first.
Who dares to write to the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying now? "Yong"? Are you planning to dethrone the crown prince?
Zhu Wentian told this story like a story. The most amazing thing was that he used a brush to draw cartoon characters on the paper. , the speed of painting is so fast!
By the time he finished telling the story, he had already turned fourteen pages.
This is why others dare not write the word "forever". Because of this, everyone is afraid of becoming a grandson.
But is it possible to write regular script without writing the word "Yong"? This must be learned. Zhu Xiongying has learned the eight marks of "Yong" before. They are: dot, horizontal, vertical, stroke, stroke, stroke, hook.
The rules of writing are complicated. Once you have written the word Yong, you will know all the other words. ! So that’s it! Don't be afraid, we are different from them! Um! Hey hey hey..."
Zhu Xiongying seemed to understand, and comforted the ministers. If he changed the word "chuaner" to another word, he might scare others.
"The emperor's grandson is so eager to learn. , lack of a master, just talking about the grandson and the tutor, why not let Hanhan..."
Hu Weiyong, who came back from Lianghu with a lot of food, proposed there that he wanted to make Hanhan the prince and tutor. .
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him: "Hanhan can't do it, Hanhan has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements. ”
If he denies it, the master should have no official position and be carefree all day long. If you have anything to ask him, or wait for his arrangements.
Hanhan, this master must be aloof from others. , giving an official position means giving him shackles, is that okay?
But in fact, the eldest grandson is just a fool to teach, look how smart he is.
Hu Weiyong lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. , he was afraid of saying more, so he was sent to the northeast. Now the two lakes are good places, including Qiongzhou Mansion, which he was originally afraid of. There are fruits to eat in Qiongzhou Mansion all year round
Especially in Ya. The state is located in Tianya Haijiaoluhuitou. There is no need to wear extra clothes in winter. As for the heat in summer, how can it not be hot in summer? It is more than 30 degrees above zero, sometimes over 40 degrees.
At the moment, it’s twenty-nine above zeroDu, just entered the ambush!
In the past, when I went to Qiongzhou, I was relegated, sent to exile, and exiled. It was too far from the capital, the local transportation was not good, and there were many mosquitoes.
Not now, there are ships, and the officials who need to be trained are sent there to help lay a solid foundation with the local people and plant the good things that the Ming Dynasty needs.
As long as the things are good enough, His Majesty will not forget you.
There is medicine for mosquitoes, and we have brought several sets of large-scale ice-making equipment, including rabies vaccine, antivenom, and tetanus.
At present, we are working hard to grow betel nut. The prescription passed down from the Song Dynasty uses betel nut as medicine.
Bringing the pumpkin back from such a far away place, and combining it with pumpkin seeds, you can easily kill the bugs in your stomach. This is amazing!
This expert... Oops! Hanhan won’t hold grudges against himself, right?
Hu Weiyong was thinking like this, secretly looking at Hanhan.
My clothes were wet with sweat for a moment, and Hanhan was looking at himself and smiling. This smile... The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
