"Hey hey hey, hey hey hey..." Zhu Yuanzhang thought that the people who had difficulties took the bus to Dangtu County early in the morning.
The village wants to sell soap today and grab the palace's business, shipping it out for four hundred coins.
After getting the money, I planned to buy big animals. Last night, people from other villages came and told the village leader that there were many sick animals sent from upstream in Dangtu.
The visitor is from a nearby village. My daughter-in-law’s parents’ family is in Dangtu. She has given birth to a big fat boy. Someone from her parents’ family is here to take a look.
When we were chatting, we talked about this and said that the animals looked pitiful.
After the villagers learned about the situation, they went to Xiaqiu Village to tell Zhu Lichang.
Xiaqiu Village always buys large animals, and even buys them when some are sick. I heard that they can be cured.
People in other villages couldn't afford it. He thought that if Xiaqiu Village bought it for medical treatment, he would have more livestock when he rented it.
After the village chief found out about it, he found Hanhan early in the morning and Hanhan wanted to see him.
The village had originally planned to buy another batch, and there was enough fodder to support them.
After passing by, take a look and buy the good animals, the sick ones... see if Hanhan wants them.
Zhu Wentian kept an eye on the sick people and bought them back as long as they could be cured. It was cheap.
After the autumn harvest, many livestock are actually hard to buy and have to be fed with straw.
Pigs are about to celebrate the New Year, so they are generally reluctant to sell them. They keep the ones they raise for eating, or wait until the twelfth lunar month to sell them at a high price.
"This time I'm going to buy things. I'm going to bring back a lot of daily necessities and hire people to do the work. I don't have enough farm tools."
Li Chang swallowed the buns in his mouth, drank the cucumber and egg drop soup in his saliva bag, and mentioned the needs of the village.
In addition to farm tools, you also need to buy pots, pans and other items.
This year's rice harvest has been harvested, and the villagers have divided it according to the number of their own fields.
The village will then provide the minister's money to buy the villagers' rice, and the village will pay the required land tax.
The same operation is done after the jute is harvested, which is equivalent to paying dividends to the villagers.
The villagers kept this money for future marriages with their wives and daughters.
Zhu Wentian had fun for a while, making the villagers feel happy, then he lowered his head and ate steamed buns.
I didn't eat when I came out in the morning, so I ate on the way, for fear that the livestock would be bought.
He didn't think much about selling soap or buying livestock. He thought about how to get Zhu Yuanzhang to stop building Zhongdu.
It took several years to build Zhongdu, which was a waste of people and money. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't use it and killed many people.
With so many craftsmen, it is better to use them for other purposes, such as making firearms. Zhu Yuanzhang had firearms in his army.
There was also a lot of money and materials, and large logs were shipped from far away.
It is better to make ships out of big wood, and private people are not allowed to go to sea. When the official fleet is large, it patrols the coast or goes out for trade. It is also good to transport food back.
Zhu Wentian considered his influence, could Zhu Yuanzhang listen to what he said?
How to deceive, no, how to persuade? Write a piece of political economics for Lao Zhu to read?
Improved firearms and asked Lao Zhu to try them out? Get a hot air balloon to scare Lao Zhu?
Zhu Wentian thought about it one by one, looking for a breakthrough. He couldn't just watch resources being wasted.
What kind of Zhongdu should be built in Fengyang? The part built now is suitable for use as a factory.
There are so many local quartz stones! How about burning some glass exits?
As for the iron ore in Fengyang, no need to go north from the current location. That is the Maanshan mining area, but it has not been developed.
Lao Zhu has no idea how long the iron ore cluster next to Nanjing can be mined. At the same time, the coal mines here are enough to support the current demand.
I feel that the local coal is not good enough. There is good coal in Huainan next to Fengyang, so there is no need to go to Pingdingshan.
"Hanhan!" Xiaoqi, a villager next to him, shouted.
"Huh?" Zhu Wentian looked up.
"Take a sip of soup. I see you're choking on the steamed buns." Xiao Qi reminded.
"Eh? Well! Drink the soup, hehe!" Zhu Wentian found that it was indeed a bit dry, so he opened the water bag and took two sips.
"Hey hey hey!" Xiao Qi followed the hey hey twice, took out a piece of paper, read the words on it, and learned to write with his hands on his legs.
All the villagers in Xiaqiu Village will learn to read and write when they have time.
It is requested by the village chief and clan elders. Other villages have no chance to learn from it. The villagers in your own village teach you, so you should cherish it.
If you don’t know how to read, what should you do if you go out and get deceived?
The method of learning is to memorize a sentence first, and then ask Li Chang or Hanhan to write it down on paper.
Watch and read, and then learn to write, this process will be very long.
It will take several years before you can recognize normal characters and read them, and the content should not be too profound.
The Law of the Ming Dynasty is not yet complete, there are only laws and regulations. In order to let the people understand it, Zhu Yuanzhang asked people to write a direct explanation of the laws and regulations.
The direct interpretation of the laws and regulations is used to explain the meaning of each law and order, all in plain language.
Even so, you still have to find someone to go to the place to read it to the people and tell them what behavior is illegal.
Generally speaking, it is actually the village chiefs who are in charge, and there are not enough officials to go to the countryside.
"Hanhan, I can write without following it now. Please teach me another sentence."
Xiao Qi reviewed it and found that he could still write without reading the words on the note. He wanted to learn more.
"Oh!" Zhu Wentian reached into his arms, took out a handful of notes, randomly selected one, unfolded it, and handed it over.
"It's rare that he is a filial brother but likes to offend his superiors! Tell me..."
"He is a human being..." Xiao Qi memorized it hard, and it took him a quarter of an hour to memorize this sentence.
"The meaning of this sentence is: It is rare for people to be filial to their parents and respect their brothers, but like to offend those in authority."
When Zhu Wentian saw that Xiaoqi had memorized it well, he gave him a translation and asked him to learn to memorize more of it first and then write.
After learning this note, there will be no more people who are not good at teaching and are prone to making trouble.
"Yeah! I know what it means, hey hey hey!" Xiaoqi was happy, learning so many words again.
Zhu Wentian took another sip of soup. He didn't want to follow him anymore.
The long motorcade finally arrived at the county town, and other empty vehicles were placed at designated places, waiting to be loaded.
A car carrying soap arrived at the market, and a man came running over. Everyone recognized each other at a glance, the City Secretary, is he still there?
"Are you here?" The mayor was overjoyed, and for a moment he felt that the sun was shining brightly in the gloomy sky.
The manager responded with a smile: "This time I want to sell soap for a thousand yuan and buy livestock and other things."
"Ah? The soap from the palace? The market price is five hundred cents a piece. A group of sick animals were sent here from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
Can you take a look at the fact that those sick animals are not kept alone with other animals? "
When the mayor heard about the soap, he first thought of it coming from the palace, and then introduced the animals.
He already knew that there were capable people in Xiaqiu Village who could treat animals.
"Do you know what the disease is?" The village chief has always been curious, why did a group of livestock get sick?
“It’s hotter than a normal animal, there are tears in the mouth, and the skin on the body is also broken, especially the belly, there are blisters, and the walking is unsteady.
Some people say that they boiled the soles of hemp shoes and gave them to drink, but they couldn't even drink them.
Now other people who buy and sell livestock want to drive them away. They have all the cattle, horses and sheep. Isn’t this just something that can be passed on to other livestock? "
The city secretary said that he was ill, and he was planning to kick the other party out today anyway.
"Uh... take me to have a look. Our livestock has been put away." The head of the village was worried about his own village.
Everyone went together to a separate place, and sure enough, a group of animals looked languid.
