People in Xihe Village harvest soybeans and drive animals to transport them out. Some beans mature early and fall off when touched, leaving no one to care about them.

Normally, children should go to the fields to pick things up, but the children in Xiaqiu Village are studying, so it is not worth wasting time in this regard.

When you plant soybeans again, just dig in the fallen ones.

As for driving chickens and ducks over to clean up the beans on the ground, no, God knows how much each of them eats. If they drink water, they will all swell to death, or they will die of diarrhea.

Raw soybeans are not suitable for livestock and poultry, including humans. Beans fed to horses must be fried.

In one morning, the people of Xihe Village harvested 150 acres, and they worked really hard.

They felt at ease while eating the mutton soup. They came here today for free, but just a meal.

"Yichang, our village has taken advantage again." Feng Gui said while eating.

"Don't say this again. When you have money, treat the people in Xiaqiu Village to drink mutton soup. I know you have always thought like this, drink!"

The head of the village waved his hand, "Don't be embarrassed, it's just that Xihe Village is in trouble right now!"

"Sure! Drink!" Feng Gui said no more. He also wanted to lose face. He relied on Xiaqiu Village to develop Xihe Village, and he would have to pay it back in the future.

It's not that you directly give many things to Xiaqiu Village, but that Xiaqiu Village has something to offer.

When the soybeans are harvested that day, they are placed aside to dry. There is no need to hit the soybeans on the cheeks or use animals to pull the rollers. The windmill by the river can use different tools to pull out the nearly dried soybeans.

Such soybeans will be seeded, the selected ones will be kept, planted and harvested according to different periods, and the seeds of this period will be screened.

In this way, early soybeans, medium soybeans, and late soybeans will gradually be separated, and the seeds will differentiate accordingly.

Generally, the beans used to make tofu are those that have been bitten by insects and split into two parts when threshed.

Good beans can be planted or used to grow bean sprouts for eating.

Nowadays, there are tofu exchangers in the county. People exchange bad beans with others, and one pound of beans is exchanged for two pounds of tofu.

Tofu sellers usually can make two to three ounces of tofu from one pound of beans, plus a lot of bean dregs.

The extra money is considered profit, which means that you cannot make a fortune by selling tofu normally.



A few days passed like this, and a heavy rain fell. The raindrops hit the ground and splashed with water. When the wind blew, a mist of water stuck to the ground and swept into the distance.

The villagers put on raincoats, bamboo hats, and oilskin boots to drain the fields.

Fortunately, the replanted wheat has been transported to Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing, which offset the money borrowed and the prince's help in buying and building warehouses, and left the prince in debt.

Zhu Biao didn't pay attention to class for a while. It was probably because of the hot weather. He definitely didn't want Xiaqiu Village to owe him, and in turn, he was in trouble because of Xiaqiu Village.

"Hahahaha... It turns out that they carried the boat upstream to pretend to be the Northern Army and deceived them. Liao Yongzhong really had a way."

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to eat roast duck that evening and said to Queen Ma, Concubine Sun, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.

He got the news when he was about to come over for dinner. Liao Yongzhong selected 1,500 elite soldiers, carried the boat through the pass, and ran to the upper reaches of the Xia army to shout that the Ming army had captured the upper reaches of Chongqing and Chengdu.

Those who played the iron rope across the river were defeated one after another when they went to reinforce them. Now when something happens, their morale has dropped to the bottom.

The Ming Dynasty's Southern Army downstream relied on the iron rope, and the hooks stabilized the ship to release arrows, while at the same time demolishing the chain link of the iron rope.

An iron lock is an iron ring connected by another ring. You can just use an iron bar on the boat to pry it hard.

He even set up an iron pier for blacksmithing and chopped with an axe. After breaking down one axe, he replaced it with another axe and continued chopping.

If a link is broken, a chain will be broken. How many chains are there in the chain across the river?

In the past, you would shoot arrows from upstream as soon as it was broken, but now you are all scared to death.

"Isn't this the land boat ride at Hukou Falls on the Yellow River? It was like this in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Liao Yongzhong actually used it."

The Crown Princess couldn't help it anymore. She had been silent and finally realized that she knew something.

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled the cake by himself and exhaled: "Yes! The man in Xiaqiu Village knew it, and even more clearly after reminding Liao Yongzhong, Liao Yongzhong could think of it."

Zhu Yuanzhang was happy. Xia Guojun in Sichuan was about to be pacified. Once the iron rope across the river was broken, subsequent troops could be sent up through the Yangtze River in a steady stream.

Zhu Biao was happy because he had been in contact with Xiaqiu Village. The masters there were so scary. What kind of skill was this?

The expert must have thought of traveling on land, but he didn't mention it and gave the credit to Liao Yongzhong. The premise is that the expert could guess that Liao Yongzhong would do this after getting a hint.

Zhu Biao didn't know that this situation happened one month later in history. Liao Yongzhong thought that no one reminded him and he thought of it himself.

Now when someone said it, he suddenly understood, so he sent more people to carry small boats and took advantage of the opponent's deployment of troops to attack the Northern Route Army and pass through.

"Sister, I think the pawnshop by the bridge is the most suitable for Xiaqiu Village. The place there is bigger, but whose business is difficult to move?"

Concubine Sun suddenly spoke up. She preferred Xiaqiu Village. Her second daughter was frail and sick since childhood, so Xiaqiu Village gave her gifts.

So the girl who was originally very sick now looks good, and Xiaqiu Village still occasionally mentions this child when writing letters to the prince.

Think about what the experts in Xiaqiu Village usually come up with, and then look at the things that the other party is concerned about. Even if you think about it, you will be able to make up some situations.

Concubine Sun has been giving birth to daughters, and then she is raising a child named Zhu Zhu, the child of Empress Ma.

She was afraid that her biological children would die. One of them felt uncomfortable, and the other was a child.

She already had a dead daughter. A few years ago, she would sometimes dream about it.

The other one thought he was going to die, so he received special care from Xiaqiu Village and adjusted his diet.

She still remembered what she said before about giving Xiaqiu Village a firecracker, and then they gave her a recipe for raising a child, targeting one child.

In this way, Concubine Sun decided to help. She actually knew the person behind the pawn shop.

"Just an ordinary person, worth five thousand taels of silver." Zhu Yuanzhang said, that place was opened by the descendants of the people who fought with him.

Normally, when the ancestors are no longer around, all they need to do is seek wealth, but as a result, the pawn shop has to be related to other officials.

In the past, just pull it off!

Now that the imperial concubine had spoken, she also learned that the head of Xiaqiu Village had asked about the pawnshop.

“In that case, let’s give the area next to the pawn shop to Xiaqiu Village, which is opposite the current store in Xiaqiu Village.

If shopkeeper Xu from Fuhua Building had not had a good relationship with Xiaqiu Village, he could have gone in directly.

The place next to the pawn shop is owned by Lao Er, who sells the Four Treasures of the Study. I went to talk to Lao Er. "

Zhu Biao took the initiative to take over the task and arranged the place, leaving only one block for Fuhua Building.

One is that Fuhua Building has opened up many relationships, and the other is that Fuhua Building and Xiaqiu Village get along well.

Give up other places to Xiaqiu Village and leave a Fuhua Building to show that the royal family does not bully others, but!
