"Long time no see, Mr. Zhou She." The head of the village greeted him warmly. It had indeed been a while since he had seen him.
"Indeed, I miss him very much." Zhou Zong was also very happy. He came to the village and could take away a lot of things when he went back.
The people in the Prince's Mansion under him were selected by drawing lots this time, and everyone wanted to come and have a look and bring something for home.
The director took Zhou Zong and others to the dining hall. Zhou Zong carefully looked at the windows and doors of the restaurant, which had transparent glass.
The morning sunlight slants into the dining room without being blocked by thin curtains.
Zhou Zong and Zhu Taiyi, two, three, four, and Hanhan arrived at the main table. Zhou Zong first laughed twice at Hanhan, and Hanhan responded with "hehe."
The pie stuffed with pork and green onions this morning was very oily. It was said to be fried, but in fact it was fried. The villagers needed oil and water for their work, so I never got tired of eating it.
Including Zhu Wentian, who didn't like eating oily things before, is now very good at eating. His strength is not conjured.
The pie is eaten with bone soup. There is a lot of minced meat and wild vegetables in the bone soup. The rest is fermented bean curd and side dishes made by myself.
During the early morning meal, the head of the village did not prepare any wine, so he asked someone to fish out big bones for the eleven Zhou Zong people, as an extra treat.
Hanhan didn't even have it, because he knew that Hanhan wouldn't want to grab a bone and chew it in the morning.
The ten people who came here with Zhou Zong were all newcomers. They finally believed what their colleagues who had been here said, and Xiaqiu Village suddenly ate meat.
My group came over without saying hello in advance. It seems that pie and soup are daily life in Xiaqiu Village.
The village chief has a lot of thoughts. What does it mean to deliver ore to the village and follow him with a sword?
When Zhou Zong finished eating a pie, Li Chang said: "Zhou She is here to see if the village sells ironware selflessly?"
The head of the village pondered the iron organ camp. Like salt tea, the people also made it themselves in private, including more powerful money making, and those caught would be hanged.
Could it be that the palace was concerned about the construction of a small blast furnace and rotary kiln in the village? Afraid of building weapons to rebel?
Zhou Zong was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Xiaqiu Village is not privately manufactured. Your village wants to make Hongwu Tongbao like Baoyuan Bureau, so it's okay if you don't cut corners and cut corners."
"We don't mint money, it's too slow. It's better to make money quickly by selling things, as long as the money is enough.
The blacksmiths in the village have just learned it and cannot make very good things. They are all farm tools and kitchen knives.
There are people in neighboring villages who are in need of supplies, or farm tools, scissors, etc. are broken, so you can use them to repair them and give them the cost. "
The village chief was relieved and said that the situation in his village was that ironware was indeed sold, but it was not profitable.
If someone else's hoe is broken, you can remelt it and add some iron to build it, usually for three cents.
Moreover, the neighboring village did not give us cash, but sent us straw. The wild vegetables we eat now are the wages given by other villages for sharpening scissors, so we dug a lot of them.
The scissors are too dull. They need to be taken apart and sharpened, and then riveted together. Simply give the other party a new pair and keep the old ones for steelmaking.
He told Zhou Zong about the wild vegetables. There was a blacksmith in the village and others promised to come.
"Replace the old scissors that have worn away a lot of iron with new ones, and give them to the wild vegetables?"
One of the people who came from Zhou Zong couldn't help it and interjected, "How come his family has never encountered such a good thing?"
Zhou Zong glared at him without saying anything. The village head nodded: "The wild vegetables given to me are just for sharpening scissors. The village just gave me new scissors because they thought it was troublesome."
"Then, are you selling the farm tools in your village? My family farms and I want to buy them. You can give me the advantage."
This man was glared at, but he still mustered up the courage to propose the idea of buying it, as it would be more expensive to buy it elsewhere.
As soon as he said this, nine other people looked over at the same time. Zhou Zong didn't glare at anyone this time, which was not easy for the brothers.
"Buy, ah, no, cooked, uh-huh!" The manager was about to agree, but Zhu Wentian spoke without raising his hand.
"I won't sell it. The blacksmith in our village has just learned it and is not very proficient. I will give each of you a set to take back and try it out to see if there is anything wrong with it."
The head of the village understood. Here, after all the hard work, not one of the ten people looked familiar.
"This..." The other party was so confused, should he do it or not?
He looked at the leader and said, what should we do?
Zhou Zong didn't care at all, he said to the head of the village: "I came here this time to get something, transparent glass for the window.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is getting married soon, and he wants to replace some of the colored glazes in the Crown Prince's residence with transparent ones to make the palace brighter.
There are no pictures or words on it. The red colored glaze with the word "happy" has already been made in the palace and will be glued to the transparent colored glaze.
I will be responsible for escorting the transportation, and the village will be busy helping to make it. It will cost about 500 yuan, and it will take 600 yuan to make it to avoid any flaws or damage. "
Zhou Zongdao made it clear that he wanted to exchange the ore for something, but the letter written by His Highness the Prince has not yet been sent to the chief.
"That's it, it's easy to say." The director happily agreed and prepared to make transparent glass.
Zi Zi was so stupid that he refused to give it, saying that if he gave it and sold it to the barbarians, it would harm the Ming Dynasty and that the telescope was needed.
The villagers are playing with it, and they must not let others steal it. They would rather break it into pieces.
There are also flower glasses for the older people in the village. With Hanhan, I feel like I don’t lack anything.
"There's no rush, we can stay in the village for up to ten days." Zhou Zong gave the time limit, six hundred pieces of transparent glass for ten days.
The village chief is relieved, there is really no rush, in fact, I can give it to you if I leave today, the village has its own spare.
Every time a kiln of glass is fired, someone who can blow will blow out the glassware and slowly anneal it.
It's better than ceramics. Ceramics are not burned in the village, so you can only buy them. Glass can be burned, so you don't feel bad if it breaks.
Moreover, broken glass can be recycled and reburned, just like iron, it is just a little bit lost.
After finishing the meal, the ten people brought by Zhou Zong were full, and Zhou Zong scolded them for being useless.
The village chief was very happy, explaining that the food in the village was good, and brought him big hawthorn pills and big honey pills.
He turned around and took Hanhan into the house with the prince's letter. There were two letters. One was that the prince said he was getting married and invited the village chief to bring people to watch the ceremony.
One letter asked whether Zhongdu buildings could be built with materials used to build houses in the village. He said that the process of cutting and transporting the wood to Zhongdu would consume too much manpower and waste money and people.
Zhu Wentian was very surprised when he saw it. Zhu Yuanzhang himself admitted that he wasted money and wasted people? Then you still practice? The key point is that the treatment you give to the craftsmen is too poor. If you give them more money and food, will you see if they are happy?
Complaints are complaints, and Zhu Wentian has to seriously consider it. Cement is obviously not good, and most houses have certain specifications.
However, the wood was transported from various places in the Ming Dynasty. This can be changed. Why should it be transported from other places in the Ming Dynasty?
Thinking of this, he ignored it for the time being, so that it could be solved easily. The other one was to attend the ceremony. There was no information in his memory about whether ordinary people could attend Zhu Biao's wedding.
Put this one down first, and bring up the one that makes the transparent glass.
"Let's first make a glass made directly from red glass and white glass, with the word "happy" in it, and send it over for them to see.
If they think there is no problem, they will produce the design drawing and we will be responsible for the specific production.
The post-pasting doesn’t look good, so it’s better to fix it in one go. Open the kiln and start burning in a while, hey hey hey! "
Zhu Wentian told the director that our service was in place.
