The team from Xiaqiu Village walked home under the envious gazes of everyone.
The villagers in the village were very happy and bought a lot of livestock, salt, medicinal materials, paper, ink, pigs and poultry.
Some of the large animals were used to plant rice and plow the fields, but they became tired and sick and were sold.
When Zhu Wentian saw this kind of disease, he saw whether he could treat it. If he couldn't treat it, he wouldn't do it. Unless he saw that there was a high probability of a bezoar, no amount of that was too much.
There are also small animals that grow up, and they learn how to work in the fields with the older animals during farming, and the older animals are sold.
As for those who have no money to eat and sell livestock, there are very few people who are hungry and would rather find ways to borrow money or borrow money than sell their labor power.
Every animal that is sold has its own story behind it. The stories of the groaning pigs are relatively few.
"There will be no shortage of meat in the village from now on, but we just bought so much saltpeter just to make it taste cold, alas!"
The chief looked at the quilt wrapping things around him and shook his head.
There was a small barrel of ice in it. I bought it in the city for 600 Wen.
There are slush sellers in the market, and a small portion costs ten to twenty cents.
Instead of buying slush, Hanhan bought ice from others, and then bought a lot of saltpeter.
The chief knows what saltpeter is used for, making ice.
First buy some ice and give it to the children to try, and then make your own ice.
Use a lot of saltpeter to make some ice, and then dry or boil the saltpeter water to get the saltpeter again.
Zhu Wentian laughed twice and did not explain. Who said that saltpeter can only be used to make ice? Also useful in industry.
Xiao Qi thought that she would be able to eat slush soon, and said from the side: "I heard that in the north, the rivers are full of ice in winter. They dig it out and pack it in wooden barrels, wrap it with layers of quilts, and then open it for use in summer. .”
Zhu Wentian: "..."
He really wanted to tell the other party about the ice cellar, but he found it too laborious.
Forget it, if it gets minus 4 or 5 degrees Celsius at night this winter, freeze it and preserve it.
Use many containers at one time, and do not use too much water in each container. If there is too much water, it will not freeze and the temperature will return to zero at dawn.
At three o'clock in the morning, the people who had gone out to make money returned to the village, and the villagers came out to greet them.
Besides animals, the most important thing was money, 250,000 yuan, and Zhu Wentian spent 170,000 yuan.
The remaining 80,000 yuan were put together with the previous minister's money, and the villagers were very happy.
At the beginning, the whole village pawned things to get more than 50,000 yuan.
Nowadays, hundreds of thousands of dollars are nothing. Thinking about it makes me want to cry. It was too difficult at that time.
Zhu Wentian looked at everyone's expressions and understood.
Just like a certain village in the past, when others were not allowed to buy and sell things privately, they secretly made and sold them.
When the monthly salary in other villages is tens of yuan, every family in that village builds a villa.
At this time, Xiaqiu Village was the same as all Daming villages.
"Chief, every time you have leftover money, it's all copper coins. Why don't you change it into silver?"
The villagers helped put away the money, thinking that the silver was easy to carry.
"I don't want to let you go." The village chief himself didn't know why. Anyway, the village guard did what he said.
"Oh! That's silly." The other party understood.
Zhu Wentian remained silent, he had considered it.
Following the historical trajectory, the Ming Dynasty banknotes began to be issued five years later.
No silver is allowed to circulate after issuance, and the treasure banknotes can be individually exchanged for silver and copper coins.
When it is necessary to use treasure banknotes to pay land taxes and taxes, part of it can be used to use treasure banknotes and part to use copper coins.
If nothing changes, keeping silver is a recipe for disaster.
At present, Ming Dynasty's trade with foreigners in the city's shipping department is a trade deficit.
Along with the rock sugar I gave out, and the stone soda technology I should also give out, plus more craftsmanship in the future.
Then the production costs of Ming Dynasty will be reduced and the technology will be improved, which will lead to a trade surplus.
This is the result of the change. After the change, during the trade surplus process, there was more silver outside.
If you keep the silver for yourself and a large amount of silver enters the Ming Dynasty, won't it depreciate?
Copper can be used to make things, but what can silver do? Contacts on the switch? No electricity again.
Maybe after history changes, the Ming Dynasty will be like the Qing Dynasty, with silver as the mainstream currency.
He was more thoughtful than his friends, who had simple ideas and found people to make slush and shave ice.
…
When the wheat was half earing, a group of people from Lizhi County came again to observe and learn, oh, it's called guidance work.
Xiaqiu Village hired people from surrounding villages to help transplant jute into the paddy fields. They were given two kilograms of rice a day and a meal at noon.
It was the slack season for farmers. When other villages heard that such a good thing was happening, they enthusiastically signed up to participate.
Not to mention giving back two kilograms of food, they were willing even if it was just one meal.
It’s a lean period, and some people’s homes are basically out of food.
"Yichang, I see that many villagers in Xiaqiu Village are idle, why not hire people?"
Li Zhixian stood on the edge of the field, and his life was prosperous.
Xiaqiu Village sold soap again, but the scent was different from last time.
Take it to the city and continue to ask people in the yamen to help you try it out.
He also talked about the improvement of the process of soap without scent, and saw the difference in washing clothes compared to the previous one.
The second time, each person was given 200 yuan. I heard that with the 100 yuan, people in key positions in the yamen would not have the opportunity to try it out. How could that be allowed?
"Li Zhixian, we know that there are enough people, isn't this a lack of support?
Rather than letting people come to borrow food, it is better to make them live a better life.
They are willing to interplant next year, and in the process of helping, they have learned methods to avoid making mistakes. "
The manager explained the reason. It was all about helping people, but this method was different in appearance.
Li Zhixian looked at Li and sighed: "Sure enough! They say that when you marry a wife, you should marry someone from Xiaqiu Village, and when you marry a girl, you should marry someone from Xiaqiu Village. It is benevolent and righteous!"
After he praised him, he looked at his assistant Guan Xian Cheng. Guan Xian Cheng hurriedly said: "Magistrate, although there are not many places for county schools in the county, one should be given to Xiaqiu Village, right?"
"If one is not enough, get two." Chief Zheng interjected.
It was agreed upon when we came that there are twenty places in the county, and normally they have been allocated.
No matter how good the distribution is, can it be as good as the mood when trying out the soap?
"Oh? Yes!" Li Zhixian looked astonished: "Yichang, what do you think?"
Li Chang: "..."
He wanted to say no, the places in the county school were valuable, but they were of no use to his village.
Hanhan was teaching, and the adults in the village occasionally recited formulas and knew a few words, but they didn't expect to be able to write them.
When a child runs so far to the county seat, the village is on tenterhooks. Can he be taught to be naive?
Hanhan teaches his children the story-telling method. He has finished learning the Thousand-Character Classic and is currently learning the Three-Character Classic, followed by the recitation of Hundreds of Family Surnames.
People in the village are making abacus in large quantities and are about to take abacus lessons.
"Thank you Magistrate Li and everyone, but... the village really doesn't want to let its children go away to study.
Don't think about asking a gentleman to teach. One gentleman can teach more than one.
As long as any child learns well, he will have to trouble you when he gets older. "
The head of the village thought for a while and politely refused. He said he would not go because he was afraid that the children in our village would be delayed by the Jiao Yu and others you were looking for.
Li Zhixian was stunned for a moment, then thought about it again and found that the chief was right.
Xiaqiu Village had money and built a special school. It invited Confucius professors to teach a group of students at a time.
"In this case, we must let the children learn easily, and we can't delay the wise ones." He also didn't finish his words.
