Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the food on the table and felt quite appetitive. There was nothing special about the food in Xiaqiu Village.
"That's the thing, but why do we always feel that he doesn't want us to build Zhongdu?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's sixth sense came. In fact, he relied on intuition and luck most of the time. He was the same as Jianguo.
Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly, feeling the same, yes, everything seemed to be at the finger of the sword.
First, let’s talk about the drought in a lot of places, and allocate manpower to dig wells. There are still craftsmen left, and then talk about alkali mines, let’s dig them.
Can ordinary people dig a mine two hundred feet deep? It must be an experienced craftsman, and some manpower will be allocated.
The key is that the drought is indeed a drought, and the alkali has also been seen. Isn't it great?
Then the bitter salt issue came up, and people had to be sent to take care of it, dig new wells, pump brine, dig coal mines, and burn brine.
The craftsmen in this area have almost been mobilized, and they need to build ships. There are still some craftsmen in wood, and the key is wood for shipbuilding.
Where is the best wood? Of course, it is the big wood used in construction. One big wood requires more than 400 people to transport it!
Such wood shipbuilding must be easy to use. When Chen Youliang made emergency shipbuilding, he could quickly produce a large number of large ships!
If we continue like this, will the Central Capital be built?
Oh, by the way, there is also brick burning. Many of the brick kilns originally built for Zhongdu are now burning refractory bricks.
If you build a kiln with refractory bricks, you can burn colored glaze. You can use alkali to make soap. You still need to use alkali to burn colored glaze.
"Dad, that's awesome! His plan..." Zhu Biao knew that there was no need to tell everything, as his father would definitely understand.
"It's hard to guard against it!" Zhu Yuanzhang got goosebumps.
When did it start? Selling rock candy? The year before last, rock candy was sold in Xiaqiu Village.
Then, no, they were already doing what they were doing before selling rock sugar, which was to multiply crops or interplant.
One thing followed another, all seemed natural and normal.
When I got the letter today and worked backwards, I realized that the planning had already begun, the road was right in front of me, and I had reached the present moment step by step, and there was no turning back.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a shuddering feeling, as if feeding bait to a fish, a large net was opened and slowly moved around.
Forced, no, tempted to work hard to develop overseas trade, including raising livestock and poultry, as well as life-saving medicinal materials for people.
Many of the prescriptions given are from overseas. One of the ingredients in Angong Niuhuang Pills is rhino horn.
It has been less than two years since the rice harvest in Xiaqiu Village was finished and rapeseed and ramie were planted.
While maintaining the surrounding villages, they helped the court make suggestions. Everything was so natural.
When the village was wealthy, it happened to influence the entire court.
When everything was put together, it became clear that Zhongdu was being targeted.
The expert took advantage of the right time, location, and people, and made every possible move.
When he was building Zhongdu, the master showed up in Xiaqiu Village, and no one said a word to dissuade him.
Even today, this is still the case. The other party does not say whether Jianzhong is right or not. In any case, it is just taking money from the bottom of the cauldron and all key manpower has to be arranged.
Should we deal with drought? Can you make a lot of money by digging alkali? Should medicines that are beneficial to the growth of crops, raising livestock, and people be burned or not?
The key is that these are all in that area, there are alkali mines, brine, and drought.
"Chongba, Biao'er, let's eat vegetables. They didn't harm us. They didn't use any wood at all to build new houses. The wood was used to make doors and windows.
Doesn’t it tell us that Xiuzhongdu doesn’t use so much wood? Take the wood and build the boat.
Judging from this, the depth of that man’s calculations is unheard of throughout the ages, and he is definitely not the counselor of a defeated general, otherwise..."
Empress Ma asked her husband and son to drink and eat vegetables. The meat cooked in Xiaqiu Village would not be greasy no matter how much you eat it, and there was no fishy smell.
Zhu Yuanzhang ate the meat and it was indeed delicious. He picked up the wine and said, "Biao'er, please write and ask."
Zhu Biao hesitated: "Dad, why don't we talk about building the Shui Army first and ask how to build it instead of whether it should be built? Should we stop building Zhongdu?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Hahahaha~ My son has thought carefully, so he should ask like this. I am afraid that even an expert would not dare to directly stop Zhongdu, so he arranged it like this."
He agreed with his son's operation, yes, don't ask Zhongdu, it involves too much, just inquire from the side.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was also afraid of superiors. He was so calculating that he would take one step at a time.
He doesn’t tell you what you should do, but He does it first so that you feel you must do it.
He has never harmed anyone. The villagers in the same county helped him and even provided materials to build a new house for someone who had burned down his house.
Others' animals were sick and sold at low prices. He taught how to deal with them and bought them at a higher price.
Officials of the two governments were bribed, but they did not ask the officials to make profits for them, and even took the initiative to donate money to the almshouse.
What's more, every prescription presented to the palace cannot be faulted in any aspect.
Every household in Xiaqiu Village has a two-story building and does not exceed the limit. The largest canteen has no cornices and five main beams.
How could one person achieve this in less than two years? How could he be trusted by the people in Xiaqiu Village? Unless he is the idiot village guard, haha!
"Eat meat, eat meat. This meat is so well cooked! Both the elderly and children can eat it. It takes a lot of effort.
Since we can’t figure it out, we can postpone the construction of the Central Capital! Anyway, the craftsmen have arranged to go out. If they don't say it directly, they are afraid of revealing the secret and being punished by God.
Things are busy elsewhere at the moment, so it’s okay to take it slow. It’s like a battle. Stop for a while and wait for the logistics! "
When Empress Ma saw that the father and son were talking about it, she changed the topic to food. Xiaqiu Village could always make new food and deliver it to them.
Remind Zhu Yuanzhang again, don't worry, I was in charge of logistics when you were fighting. Unstable logistics is the most terrifying thing.
"Exactly, Biao'er, write a letter as you wish. I'll write again in a few days."
Zhu Yuanzhang felt at ease. If there was a mother-in-law, he would not be afraid of anything.
…
Zhu Wentian was also having dinner. He didn't eat the meat. He continued to chew the bones. With one click, the big bones cracked.
His mouth is like an acrobat holding a pole with people on it, or a table with a table of food in his mouth.
"Grind, crush, feed..."
"Feed the livestock and poultry, you know, hey hey hey hey!" the chief took over. He even knew that feeding cracked bones to dogs would easily scratch their mouths.
"Yeah!" Zhu Wentian responded. He was actually thinking about the construction of Zhongdu.
Mainly because he was impressed by the awesomeness of Chinese craftsmen. After some main buildings were built, Zhu Yuanzhang went in and heard the sound of fighting.
There are drawings for the construction of Zhongdu, and the craftsmen build according to the drawings.
During the manufacturing process, small means can also be used to simulate the sound of wind into movements on the battlefield. The key is to have it at all times.
That is to say, if the architectural drawings remain unchanged, no matter where there is a little air flow, it will have such an impact on the main hall. Isn't this great?
Would it be okay to let his civil engineering professor at that time try it? No computers.
Just follow the normal drawings and then adjust the details to meet this requirement. Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have to feel it after entering the palace.
Zhu Wentian wants to save people, how good must this craftsman be? Then a group of top craftsmen cooperate.
Is this an airplane undergoing wind tunnel testing? Such a talent needs to be in hand to feel at ease.
