The head of the store stopped being silly and went to get a special envelope and seal it with lacquer. This could not be seen by others.
The things involved are too important, and the relationship between them is so complex that it's scary.
We had mutton soup again at noon, and the staple food was still pasta. There was a waterwheel in the village to grind noodles, and the four large waterwheels were not just decorations.
As long as it can still rotate, it must have power to grind rice, rapeseed, ramie seeds, grind rice, and grind flour, just by connecting different tools.
This includes delivering water to the land where ginger is grown. Wherever it needs to be delivered, it is connected to a ditch, and the ditch is paved with stone slabs or wooden boards.
In the summer, some ditches are built with cement, with a simple bridge built at a certain location, leaving other places empty.
The kids would go down there to play, it was cool, and there were no leeches or anything.
The eldest child was watching. The water in the ditch was less than two feet deep. The eldest child could go down and lift the person up at any time.
All the children in the village can swim. Being in the south of the Yangtze River and next to a river, they still need to be cared for.
It's even more troublesome if you don't know how to swim. Once the water level reaches the breast line, once you fall down, it's difficult to stand up again. The person panics, and is affected by the buoyancy and current of the water, making it impossible to stand.
At this time, the only thing that can be done is to use someone who can swim to get up. No matter how good the children are in water, they are afraid of choking, especially the four or five-year-old children in the village.
At this moment, there is water flowing from the ditch under the shed to deliver water to the soybean fields. It has not rained for nine days in a row. When I breathe, I feel like I am swallowing fire.
However, all normal roads in the village have been replaced by cement. When water is poured onto them and there are sheds above to block the sun, the surface temperature is not that high.
There are many large livestock and cars in the village. Normal dirt and gravel roads cannot be walked when it rains, so cement roads can only be built.
The advantage of the cement road is that it is not muddy, but the disadvantage is that it does not seep water. Fortunately, there are special open ditches and culverts next to it to drain the water into the river.
The huts are not discharged into the river. If they are used for fertilizer, they are reluctant to be discharged directly into the river.
All the manure, including livestock and poultry, is collected in several composting areas, covered with lids and even water-tight, and open flames are not allowed nearby.
Otherwise, it would be like throwing firecrackers into the sewer, boom, and see you in the next life.
"Zhu Lichang! I heard that the village is going to build something called a greenhouse. Is it worth growing cucumbers in winter? Ordinary people can't afford it."
Wang Laowei's father, Wang Yiqian, picked up a piece of mutton fried with green onions and told the manager that he was considering it from his own perspective.
The head of the village poured wine for the other party: "The village bought a place next to the Imperial City of Yingtian Mansion. In winter, the vegetables will be sent there to be sold, and the village will eat the rest."
"Hey! Is it near the imperial city? Is the land expensive there? Is the village a businessman?"
Wang Yiqian raised his eyebrows, worried that the village would become merchants, and merchants were different from farmers.
He is still taking the medicine given by Xiaqiu Village! There are too many broken bones in his body, and it doesn't mean that they can just grow back.
Now when it's a cloudy day, especially when it's very humid, my whole body aches.
Generally, when encountering such a situation, you immediately apply the plaster provided by Xiaqiu Village to the injured bone. Only then will the pain be relieved, and then drink the medicine.
It is said that it will only take one more year. If he is not dead, he will have a good life. I can't do any heavier work, I can only direct others to do it.
Fortunately, Xiaqiu Village needs a person who can direct and administer medicine at any cost.
"Two thousand guan, the place is quite big, nearly two acres in total. There is a two-story building in the front, and a second-story building is being built in the back.
When other people do business, they are merchants. In my village, it is normal to pay taxes when doing business. No one cares whether we are merchants or not.
Other merchants were not allowed to wear silk and satin, and the most was silk. We wore beautiful clothes and sold box lunches, and the magistrate of Shangyuan County came to support us. "
The director doesn't keep it secret either. That's the truth. Did you complain after hearing this? Where to report? How high should the complaint go?
You can't complain to Ningguo Mansion. If you dare to complain, you will be punished.
Go to Beijing to complain? You promise not to see His Majesty. Maybe you can get a packed lunch from my shop if you are hungry.
"The houses there are so expensive!" Wang Yiqian had no intention of complaining.
"If you run it well, you can make money, mainly because it is close to the imperial city." The head of the village admitted that the house is expensive.
"So I understand, build the village's greenhouse."
Wang Yiqian took one look at the people coming from the Prince's Mansion and understood what they meant.
…
At the palace, Zhu Biao took his daughter-in-law to Kunning Palace again during dinner. The princess finally understood. Once a letter was sent from Xiaqiu Village, she would follow her husband to meet her parents-in-law.
This time the boat from Xiaqiu Village did not bring food. It was equipped with mirrors and telescopes, and it was quite troublesome to grind the glass with a tug-o-wheel! Use emery.
But unlike the court, which punished mistakes when they made mistakes, the villagers found out after grinding that they were wrong, and threw them away, waiting to be reprocessed. No one caught them.
"Father, I sent you a lacquer-sealed letter from Xiaqiu Village. What the letter says is that this is a serious matter."
Zhu Biao called Zhu Yuanzhang his father during the family dinner in the evening, which already showed the seriousness of the problem.
"No matter how big it is, can it be bigger than eating? Is it bigger than being hungry?" Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy.
"Dad, I know I was wrong." Zhu Biao immediately changed his title.
"That's right! Let's take a look." After Zhu Yuanzhang finished educating his son, he took the letter and started to read it.
I'm sweating just looking at it, it's hot, that's normal.
"Chongba, Zhongba, do you want a drink of water?" Queen Ma was worried, what's wrong? Settled?
"No, sister, look at it, it turns out that two capitals are fighting, and two dragons are trying to grab the pearl. There are no two days in the sky, and the people have no two masters. How can a country have two capitals?"
Zhu Yuanzhang realized, no wonder things always happened in the past two years, thanks to...
"Thanks to the master for seeing through it, Chongba, let's not build Zhongdu yet? Our house here hasn't been built yet."
Queen Ma also felt that it made sense. Look at the first construction of Zhongdu, drought, drought, drought.
Two dragons fight, the ground is thousands of miles away, and the luck from the sky is won, yes!
"Biao'er, what do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked his eldest son.
Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "It is true that we should not continue to build the Central Capital. Craftsmen are needed in all aspects. The Central Capital is too close to Nanjing. For example, Luoyang and Kaifeng are also competing with each other."
Zhu Biao realized something else. Luoyang is the capital, and so is Kaifeng. Is it going to end well?
Now there is only a small distance between Nanjing and Zhongdu. Is it like Luoyang and Kaifeng?
"No more construction, let's finish the construction here first. Anyway, most of the craftsmen who built Zhongdu have been transferred out.
We are not lying. If someone else plots against us like this, I will kill him. From Xiaqiu Village, I have to admit that he is kind to us.
With such great ability, he didn't help others. It was only since the Ming Dynasty that he contributed. Most of the people in the chosen village were named Zhu. "
Zhu Yuanzhang figured it out, suspended the construction of Zhongdu, and moved the remaining craftsmen to Nanjing to build the palace.
"Dad, I will sell the mirrors later. They sent a lot of them, as well as telescopes. The telescopes are given to the soldiers at the front."
Zhu Biao is incompetent. He thinks it can be built anywhere. The master said to build Nanjing, don't worry about Zhongdu first, then just build it!
