Zhu Yuanzhang ate and drank slowly while thinking about his thoughts.
Queen Ma stayed by her side and gave her advice.
No one in the harem is allowed to interfere in politics, except Queen Ma.
"Chongba, the responding officer hinted to the head of Xiaqiu Village that they have something good and the prince wants it.
Based on this, we can look at the master's thoughts. If the master wants to contact the court, he will definitely give it.
If the master is unwilling to contribute, think of other ways.
Wouldn't it be a pity to leave such a powerful person unused? "
Zhu Yuanzhang drank the wine in the cup: "Who could it be? Which counselor of the defeated army? Are you hiding from me?"
"If he was hiding, he shouldn't have given so many good ideas to Xiaqiu Village. Soap and rock candy can be sold for a lot of money. Isn't it good to raise military rations?"
Queen Ma thought it was unlikely. What had other people's advisers done?
You can get more food by cultivating the land, and you can make money by thinking of good things.
"That's the truth, then why doesn't he come to me? For these kinds of things, it's okay to get an official title."
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with Queen Ma's words and continued to wonder.
Queen Ma helped him pour the wine: "I think the other party is worried that his words are unfounded, so he first found a village to show off."
"Yes! Let Abiao write a letter to Song Zifu." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.
At present, he has no better way. He cannot arrest all the villagers in Xiaqiu Village and interrogate them one by one.
…
Zhu Wentian didn't know that an official who had received benefits would not admit it. He hadn't eaten early in the morning, so he was drawing pictures.
Wooden columbists have been around for a long time. They are convenient for growing wheat, and they are usually pulled and supported by people.
There are many large livestock in the village. According to the design of the livestock, the carpenters in the village cannot make tools for planting wheat.
“In addition to burning cement, I use the pond for silage.
There is no limestone in the village, how can it be found? Qiqiao Village, which does not have that bridge now, is called Duhe Village.
Not far away, there were people from their village who came to help with the work. They dug it out, ground it and burned it.
Ask the mayor where there is a brick kiln, let the brick kiln bake it, and then grind it into powder yourself when you come back.
For two grinding and one burning to make cement, you can add iron if you want, or mine iron ore and burn them together.
Yes! The largest iron ore in the north has not yet been discovered, but there are other iron ores locally. "
Zhu Wentian muttered, drew a picture, went to the carpenter, and then talked to the head of the village about burning cement.
The carpenter received the drawings and said that there would be no problem and that he would find someone to make a sufficient quantity together.
"I was just thinking of finding you to come over for dinner." The director immediately smiled when he saw Hanhan.
Zhu Wentian went to wash his hands and took a look at the food. He was satisfied.
This morning he drank soy milk and ate fried dough sticks. He was worried that people from other villages didn't like pasta!
It turns out that people from other villages like to eat fried dough sticks. They are fried in a big oil pan and have a lot of oil and water.
Zhu Wentian sat down and lowered his voice: "Chief, we will collect stones. We will go to Duhe Village to mine iron ore. If there is iron ore slag anywhere, we can just use this."
When adding clay, I first look at the conditions of stone, slag and clay, and adjust the conditions of each.
Let the brick-burning kiln bake it, and we will pay for it. After the bricks are burned, I will make a pond.
First find someone to grind the ore and slag and dig pits. Dig more pits. There are many cattle and sheep in our village.
Here are some pictures. Where is the blacksmith? Ask him to help punch it out, order a trowel, a right-angle trimmer, and an angle puller.
You also need iron rollers, iron plates, and iron pestles for breaking stones. "
Zhu Wentian handed over the drawing, which had no technical content.
The headman received it and opened it to look at it: "There are similar walls built in the village. Yours seems to be more sophisticated. I'll go find a blacksmith to make it."
He carefully put it in his arms, went out after eating, and took people out to find materials, people, and kilns.
…
Three days later, the materials were found.
Zhu Wentian looked at the specific situation and gave five ratios: "Try, if it doesn't work, change. Hehehehehe..."
"Hehehehe..." The director laughed.
"Yichang, what good thing has happened to you that makes you so happy?"
Someone said hello dozens of steps away, and Li Zhixian and the others came again.
"When I saw the silly smile, I laughed twice as well." The head of the house greeted him.
"Hanhan's smile is indeed... very... innocent?"
Li Zhixian tried hard to think of a word, isn't it just a giggle! He has to praise.
The mayor looked at the sky. It was already early at noon.
He took some tea leaves and made some water: "Is there any other village that Magistrate Li hasn't visited today?"
"The food in other villages is not delicious, and there is no food in my stomach. I come here to have a good meal."
Li Zhixian was very casual. He saw the snacks brought out by the chief and picked up a few to taste.
"Yichang, this is delicious." He found something good.
It was a small cake. There was milk, flour, and eggs in the village.
Make a box out of iron sheets and bake it over a charcoal fire. You will know the temperature and time after trying it a few times.
"I'll have someone prepare it, and when you go back, I'll bring it to other officials to help them taste it."
When the director heard that the other party said yes, he would give it away! People in the village love to eat this cake.
Li Zhixian did not refuse and took a sip of tea: "Yichang, speaking of tasting, there is such a thing, uh... why don't you sell soap?"
"There's no shortage of money!" The manager responded very naturally. If you don't have enough money, sell it.
"Other people are short of soap, let's go to Magistrate Song! He...he secretly sent soap to the prince. The prince used it to say yes, is our village..."
Li Zhixian came with a mission and wanted something.
"Ta, ta, tai... son?" Li Chang stuttered, sweating on his forehead.
"Well! Think about it, the prince has used it for so many princes and long live lords, what should you do?" Li Zhixian hinted.
The director wiped his sweat and asked hesitantly: "Yes, do you want to hand over the method?"
"Are you willing to hand it over?" Li Zhixian looked into the other person's eyes.
"I don't want to, but..." The director shook his head. Who would be willing to give his own way of making money to others?
Rock candy is useless, it is too eye-catching, and it has a relationship with foreigners.
If you give me soap, what else can you make money from? Is it easy to have a good dream?
Li Zhixian put down his hand: "Don't be afraid, Long live the Lord will not rob people's things. Last time you gave us the rock candy recipe, we started to make money from foreigners."
The director continued to wipe his sweat: "Then... what should I do? Wait for me."
He couldn't figure out how to deal with it, so he got up and went to find the village guard.
Li Zhixian and others looked at each other, and when Li Chang left, Guan Xiancheng whispered: "I'm looking for an expert."
"Follow me secretly?" Chief Zheng asked.
"Follow me and see the master. The master got angry and left. How many heads do we have enough to chop off?"
If Wang Dianshi doesn't do it, most experts are different from normal people, and their character is hard to guess.
When the chief found Hanhan, Hanhan was watching others digging a pit. He wanted a sloping pit to make it easier to get silage.
The silo is partly underground and partly above ground, so people don't have to step on ladders to load materials.
If there is no plastic sheet to seal it, use an oilcloth.
"Hanhan, come with me." The mayor looked around like a thief. When he came just now, he walked around in a circle and always looked back.
"Yeah!" Zhu Wentian followed.
When the two entered the memorial hall, the head told Hanhan the situation and asked anxiously: "What should I do?"
"Give, sell, hey, two, one hundred..."
"I'm worried, Hanhan." Li Chang rubbed his hands.
"Give it to the palace for free, then sell it to the palace for two hundred cents a piece, and let them exchange it for oil. Don't be afraid, Zhu... Your Majesty will sell the soap to foreigners at a higher price.
If we want oil, we tell the palace directly to make soap and see if we can get foreigners to exchange it for it, and then we say that we, the people of Ming Dynasty, can eat it. "
Zhu Wentian came up with a solution and smiled at the chief.
"Okay, listen to our Hanhan, hehehehe..." The chief touched Hanhan's head, turned around and ran away.
