After the meal, the officials went to take a look at the newly built house. They saw that it was capped and the next step was the village's own work.
According to the current layout, no one can control it as long as it is not decorated with beautiful features.
The advantages of building a house in this way are that it is fast, strong, can be built up to four floors, and has a large platform on the roof, which is most convenient for drying things.
The disadvantage is that it is expensive. Cement requires transporting materials, grinding, burning, grinding, and adding iron to it.
It is said that it can be added with old bamboo, which can guarantee that it will not deteriorate for many years.
The houses in the village also have underground fire tunnels. If you burn them once during the day, you won't be cold all day long, and you won't have to worry about being poisoned by charcoal at night.
It's a pity that ordinary people can't build it. How many normal houses can be built with this kind of money?
Take a look at the large canteen that has been repaired and left to dry. The glass is still missing! The glass putty is ready, gypsum powder and tung oil are enough!
There is no need to mix rosin powder and alcohol to make rosin water and mix it in. In the worst case, you will have to change the putty frequently.
The main function is to prevent the glass from shaking, otherwise it will break easily. Small nails are not as good as putty to fix it.
And don't use putty, it will be ventilated when the wind is strong, and it will be cold in winter.
"This big house is enough for a thousand people to eat together." Li Zhixian looked at the pillars in the big canteen and patted them with his hands. They were strong.
The roof is made of iron frames and bamboo, and a long eaves is built outside to block the sun. Eating inside is cooler than outside in summer and warmer in winter.
The officials all secretly lamented that they were so lucky to have an expert to guide them from behind, but that expert could endure the loneliness and couldn't hide away.
"If we squeeze in a little bit, we can still seat 500 more people." The head of the restaurant is equally satisfied with the canteen and will no longer block the canteen with curtains next winter.
"Next time there will be more people coming to the Yamen to eat and drink from you." Li Zhixian smiled.
"I'm just afraid that the taste of the food won't satisfy people. If you can make do with it, my village will welcome you." The village chief laughed.
…
The time of happiness is always short-lived. If the person is not arrested, the officials and government servants can stay for one night on the pretext of continuing to arrest the person.
Now that someone is caught, he must first go back to Xihe Village and let the owner know that he has been taken to the county government office to protect Feng Dashi. It is best not to let the villagers know that he has been arrested.
The officials and government officials took the pigs into the water and went into the water. Wang Yiqian took a few people and followed them in a carriage to see the situation first and come up with a plan.
People like Wang Yiqian can take a look, ask, and directly tell how much labor and materials are used to build what kind of house.
After a house is built, there will only be a few materials left for future repairs. That's it.
When the team arrived at Xihe Village, there was a member of the Kuzhu's family, the widow also followed, and Feng Gui, the village chief.
When he arrived outside the village, he saw Feng Dashi tied up next to a big tree.
He didn't take action, just sighed, why can't he, the head of the village, be as good as the one from Xiaqiu Village? Why are there no people like this in my village?
There is no need to beat people whose houses have been burned. Feng Dashi's crime is too great. His old mother has been sent to the county almshouse in advance. What does it mean?
When the other party's mother left, she said that if the property was sold, she would be compensated as much as she could.
However, Feng Dashi, who was tied up, was lifted into the carriage and complained, saying that Feng Gui, the chief of the village, was not as good as the chief of Xiaqiu Village, and how good the life of the villagers in Xiaqiu Village was.
Then he was whipped twice by the yamen servant. He was so honest that he didn't even dare to moan in pain.
Feng Gui didn't say a word. He had nothing to say. I asked you to go to Xiaqiu Village to help with the work. I'm willing to put my face down to beg you to lend you two more animals. You can open up the wasteland and plant things.
And you? If you don’t go, how come your original land has been destroyed by you?
Life is good in Xiaqiu Village because people are hardworking! There is a fool who is still working as a half-cow in the fields.
An ox can plow two acres of land a day, a fool can plow one acre by himself, but you can't do it even if you are exhausted.
You...yes, you were caught by the fool when you went to the mountain temple to steal the offerings and snacks from the fool.
You are indeed no better than a fool. A fool will treat you like a chicken.
Do you still have the nerve to eat a piece of soy pork liver? oops! The food in Xiaqiu Village is really delicious. If it hadn't been for your problem, I should have eaten there today.
…
In the evening, before Feng Dashi was escorted to the county seat, Zhu Yuanzhang had already eaten the nine-turn large intestine.
"This is pig intestines? It's exquisitely made and doesn't have a trace of fishy smell. We can live with it, how can it be like this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang ate two nine-turn large intestines in a row and was filled with emotion. He came from a truly poor background and had suffered all kinds of sins.
His mother-in-law, Queen Ma, is more powerful than him and comes from a scholarly family. Without her, he might not have the throne he has today.
All the pig intestines he had eaten, including those he had tasted after becoming emperor, had no taste like the nine-turn intestines he had now.
Empress Ma was pouring wine beside her: "I have sent you a recipe. I will ask Guanglu Temple to make it later. The recipe contains omitted steps so that the people can learn about it.
However, the appetite is secondary, the bitter salt and its usage described in the letter are truly powerful.
Unexpectedly, that thing is like phosphorus stone, which can be used as fertilizer for crops, is also a good thing for raising livestock and poultry, and can even be used as medicine for people. "
She doesn't really care whether she eats the Nine-turn Large Intestine or not. If she wants to eat it, she can take a bite. If there is no such thing, there is nothing else.
She saw the simplified version written in the letter. Ordinary people can follow it to make pig water, which is delicious and cheap.
This is especially true for bitter salt. Bitter salt is always there, but it is never thought that it is not used as salt for cooking.
The letter wrote: There is nothing in the world that cannot be used. Know its way and use it correctly; there is no irreversible danger in the world. Know its roots and guide its opportunities. When Dayu controlled the floods, it was better to block them than to dredge them up, and to dredge them up it was better to divert them. The mountains are undulating and contain the waves of the ocean.
She understood that the other party was using nine-turn large intestine and bitter salt to persuade the government and the sea ban.
The master knew why the sea was banned, but he still wanted to find inevitable and beneficial aspects. For example, in the current trade with the Yi people, the Ming Dynasty began to take advantage.
"Can there be snow or rainfall in a drought-stricken land?" Zhu Yuanzhang drank a cup of wine and asked his eldest son.
"I'll report below that there was no such thing as the twelfth lunar month a year ago, and it's still the same now. The people are digging wells more and more diligently with the yamen."
Zhu Biao reported that no, the people there are now working very hard to dig wells, regardless of whether the weather is cold or the ground is frozen.
When no one reminded them, the people were waiting, but some people had already started asking for it. After comparing the situation, the people panicked.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of bamboo fungus and pork belly soup: "Send someone to the local area to have a look, and ask them to sell it three more times, and then say it is allowed by the court."
"Yes!" Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief and wrote in the letter that he would pay it to the local government to make money for the last time.
This is not a question of making money, it is a test. What the master means is that I want to give the other party a chance to see what the palace means.
His father promised to give him three chances and told the master that the palace was very generous and would not deceive the common people.
The imperial court sent people to collect it, but it would not affect the village's continued sales, and they could continue to dig brine wells. Why rob the wells of the original village?
One step after another, if it keeps snowing and raining in places that should be dry, there will be no three results.
There's a drought. It's indeed a drought. Isn't it scary? People say that there will be a drought.
This is just the beginning. After a while, there will still be no precipitation, no wells, and no harvest.
Experts say that wherever there is alkali, there must be alkali in the land. Experts say that there are many droughts, so there must be drought.
Experts can save lives by administering medicine, and have saved many people in Nanjing area.
Experts teach how to raise livestock. According to the feedback, it is indeed customary, especially for military horses.
The silage sent from the village is from cattle and sheep. Not only do cattle and sheep not lose weight in winter, but they actually gain weight.
