Zhu Biao nodded, then picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. Hanhan was already pouring a third bowl.
The lieutenant followed and took a sip. He was not stupid and could drink water casually. He had to watch the prince's movements.
"As Zhu Lichang said, the Ming Dynasty should be promoted by Mohism?" Zhu Biao put down his tea bowl and asked again.
"Use Confucianism to cultivate people's minds and bodies, use techniques to help people live their lives, use Tao to resolve confusion in their hearts, and legislate the rules of the world.
Just like scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, both are indispensable, and like mountains, deserts, lakes and seas, each has its own fertility, the sun and the moon alternate, forming yin and yang. "
The headmaster replied again, and at the same time made up his mind to study hard with Hanhan.
If you had never learned how to say a few words to His Highness the Crown Prince, you would have nothing to say. How could it be like now when you could still drink tea with him.
Zhu Biao clasped his fists: "I have learned a lesson."
"Your Highness is humble." The chief stood up and bowed in return.
"Zhu Lichang, sit down, what's going on with the fields in our Xiaqiu Village now?" What Zhu Biao said made people happy to hear, "We are in Xiaqiu Village."
“The silage is almost ready, jute is being harvested immediately, and cotton is also being harvested one after another.
After harvesting 20,000 acres of soybeans that were rotated with wheat, they were planted with wheat, and the seeds they planted were still exchanged with the imperial court.
By the way, enough is left for the villages in Ningguo Prefecture, and Magistrate Song of Ningguo Prefecture should vigorously promote it.
The court provides money for renting animals, and the people repay the crops with one cent of profit per month after harvesting.
This year's wheat will be planted with varieties from several regions. If there is an increase in production, it will be used as seeds next year. "
The head of the village answered normally this time, referring to the specific situation.
Zhu Biao really liked what he heard and nodded: "Prefect Song sent me the question book and said it was the idea of Xiaqiu Village. This year, Ningguo Prefecture will try it first and if it works well, we will promote it.
We exchanged the seeds of Xiaqiu Village with the imperial court on a one-for-one basis. Do we lose money? Can good seeds be the same as ordinary grains?
I heard that the village has planted ginger and garlic again, and the white fungus taken away before can yield ten times the yield? "
"Speaking of which, Ningguo Mansion officials and the imperial court still support it, otherwise Xiaqiu Village will come up with ideas and it will be useless if others don't listen.
The one-to-one exchange of seeds is nothing more than a matter of money. If the extra money is given to our village, it should be given to His Highness for your civilian needs.
Even if they exchanged the food one by one, the village could not finish the food themselves and would still give orders to His Highness.
It’s my first time to grow ginger and garlic. I’ll look at the yield. If the yield is high, I’ll give it to someone else.
As for the white fungus, it will take some time to grow, and the palace will definitely have it before the twelfth lunar month. "
The head of the village answered one by one. He must keep the village affairs in mind, including when the nine pregnant women would give birth.
Zhu Biao suddenly laughed: "You still owe me 8,000 guan, so use these to repay me. I persuaded my second brother to give up Luoyunzhai, but it took a lot of words!"
"Nothing, I agreed after my brother said it. I have a partnership business with Xiaqiu Village!"
Zhu Ming, who had been drinking tea and listening nearby, firmly refused to admit it when he mentioned himself.
"His Royal Highness King Qin hit it off immediately when we met for the first time, and he ate and drank with us that day." The head of the village helped to prove it.
"My second brother sometimes speaks with little thought, but it bothers the people in our village.
I heard from my second brother that our Xiaqiu Village provides two copper mines, which can be mined by our own workers.
The copper, iron and other materials obtained will be mainly used by our village first, and the excess will be sold to the court. "
Zhu Biao mentioned again that there was a copper mine at a designated location in the village, and that copper would be mined and smelted for copper movable type printing.
He, his father and mother were speechless about this. In order to make copper movable type in Xiaqiu Village, they did not make money to buy copper and found copper mines themselves.
Given two copper mines not far from the village at one time, how much movable type would be required? Are you serious?
"His Royal Highness, King Qin, has troubled himself so much that Xiaqiu Village cannot be managed." The head of the village left the matter to Zhu Xi.
This involves maintaining the stability of the mining area and preventing other people from causing trouble. His Highness the King of Qin can use troops, but the villagers cannot shoot at will when they leave the village.
"Okay! Let's find someone." Zhu Ping agreed, copper is money.
Now he wants to make money on his own, make a lot of money, and support his own mansion without having to give money to Prince Qin's palace from the palace.
When the time comes for the vassal to be established, it is best to send people from Xiaqiu Village to accompany them with a large amount of money and technology.
While talking, the hot pot is ready.
Four people, Zhu Biao, Zhu Chong, Li Chang, Hanhan and Zhu Taiyi, sit at the same table. The last four are responsible for washing and delivering food to the first four.
Things were put on the table, and there were dipping sauces. All the dipping sauces were mixed together, including chive flower sauce, bean curd juice, soy sauce, mature vinegar, sesame oil, sesame sauce, beef sauce, oil made from the oysters given by the palace, white sugar, and peppercorn sesame oil. , scallion oil, garlic juice.
If you are willing to eat chopped green onions and coriander, just cut them into pieces and mix them in.
Others went to the table next to them to prepare dipping sauces and put them in a row, including minced garlic, minced ginger, fennel seed oil, salted duck egg butter, cumin powder, crushed perilla leaves...
Wang Shu held the dipping bowl and trembled as he looked around blankly to see how the people in Xiaqiu Village chose, and found that each of those people chose differently.
Then he followed the little girl's choice and put a little of everything.
He took it back to his father and brother's table, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and stood up, walked straight to the main table, and knelt down with a pop.
Before the guard knife fell, he kowtowed and shouted: "Zhu Lichang, I am Wang Shu. Thank you for saving my father's life. I have nothing to repay. I am willing to work as an ox or a horse for you."
"This kid... don't fall down. One kowtow is enough. Your brother Wang Shi is simple and willing to work, and your father is unparalleled in his skills.
I heard that it was inconvenient for you to study in Ningguo County. Mother Meng moved three times, so she transferred you to Shangyuan County.
There is no need to live in the school if you sign up tomorrow and come back in the evening. Don’t be afraid if you can’t remember the knowledge for a while. Let’s learn it from scratch. "
The chief spoke to Wang Shu, who had been lifted up by Hanhan, to tell the prince and King Qin about the situation.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Feng really understood that if their children didn't study hard, why would Meng's mother move three times? Later I talked about learning from scratch.
Wang Shu had just kowtowed once and wanted to kowtow two more times, but ended up hanging up.
"Listen to what you are saying and go ahead." Zhu Ping said.
Zhu Wentian carried Wang Shu back and put him on the stool: "Sit, eat, hey hey hey!"
"Shu'er, do you want your life? Don't be so reckless in the future."
Wang Yiqian looked at the child and felt relieved when he saw that he was not frightened.
"Third brother, take a sip of wine to calm down. Fortunately, you are in a painting shop. If you were in a different place, the guard who had just cut you down would have killed you."
Wang Laowen knew that the prince's guards were not doing anything bad, and he could tell who was a threat and who was not.
If you do something bad, I'll kill you first. I know you won't do any harm to the prince, but I'll still kill you.
Wang Shu took a sip of wine, coughed a few more times, and turned his head carefully to look over there in shock. He saw that several people were not looking at him, and he exhaled as if he was exhausted.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi really didn't take it seriously. When the manager said that the dipping sauce was too dry, just pour a little beer into the dipping bowl, so they asked someone to pour some.
