"Zhu Lichang, we have to get the craftsmen back. I bought all the houses in the back and paid a very high price. They agreed that they can all move out in five days. The money will be deducted from the dividends slowly."
Zhu Fang had dinner with the mayor. He was busy buying a house in the morning. As long as he gave enough money, others would be willing to sell it.
"Such a big place?" The mayor didn't care about money. He thought about the area.
If we say that Jubiqi, or Qibiju, covers one area, then Luoyunzhai is also one, and the library is two.
From the positions to the north of the three places, eight lines should be counted, which adds up to twenty-four.
The extra area is twenty, and these twenty are not twenty shops. The houses inside are located in alleys, and the houses with people are small in area.
With so many residents, it took a whole morning to negotiate, so naturally we had to give them a price that they would be willing to sell immediately after hearing it.
"I want to make this place a resort for literati. Zhu Lichang, you may not know that my father decided to take another look at the imperial examination next year, and then stopped the imperial examination. You must not tell others that the ministers have not Tell."
Zhu Ping didn't talk about the king anymore. He revealed the most important news to the chief.
Li Chang: "..."
He really wanted to tell the other party that my Hanhan had told me about it a long time ago, and he was planning to try to see if he could persuade His Majesty to open it in a few years.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, King of Qin. If it comes out of your mouth or into my ears, no other person will know about it from me." The chief assured.
"Because of the war, there were fewer scholars. The students who came to our Danqing Library couldn't even read all four books.
When seeing the Four Books and Five Classics books on the bookshelves, some people covered their faces with their sleeves and cried.
How to select talents? They can only come from major aristocratic families, hey!
Therefore, I have to let more people have the opportunity to read books. There are not enough officials, and now there are greedy and bribery people. "
Zhu Ping told the village chief everything he knew. He felt that he had revealed a lot of secrets.
The mayor is so helpless. There is no need to talk at all. My Hanhan knows more than you and is trying to find a solution.
Your old Zhu family met my family, and there was smoke coming out of the ancestral graves. oh! By the way, my own surname is Zhu.
…
"It's going to be cold in a few days, and after it's three feet deep, you're going to ask people from the North to cut the ice and transport it over? Are you going to use this to consume the money of those who have no money left to spend?"
At noon, Zhu Yuanzhang was called to Kunning Palace for dinner again. The prince and the princess were there, and they were very affectionate!
Zhu Biao wrote a letter from the head of the village, transporting ice, hiring a large number of people, providing jobs, and circulating money.
Queen Ma had read it in advance and said now: "Try every means to make people who save money pay. Once they enjoy it, it will be easier in the future.
What was said in the letter is that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. It is indeed true. Even Xiaqiu Village cannot avoid it, and they are willing to do well when eating.
The same was true for Sima Guang of the former Song Dynasty. It was said that his family was poor in the end, but in fact he did not have a lot of daily entertainment. "
Empress Ma has been studying since she was a child, and her background is countless times better than Zhu Yuanzhang's. She can draw out the ancients and comment on them with just one sentence.
"Yes! It's the same for us. We eat food from Shangxiaqiu Village, use soap from Shangxiaqiu Village, light glass lanterns from Shangxiaqiu Village, and even use the ice basin in the hot summer weather.
If those wealthy households are given the opportunity to use it, they won’t be able to stop. Money shortage? Not in circulation? It’s really a plan to benefit the country!
In this case, I will write down the text first, and when the weather gets colder again, I will hire people from the north to cut the ice, send the canal, and hire people on the canal to break the ice in the northern section. "
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed. It was a good idea and a temptation that was hard to refuse.
…
'Boom~~Boom~~' At the Rougegang blasting construction site, smoke rose from a large area at the same time.
When the dust slowly fell, the sergeants rushed forward and used various tools to put the shattered stones and soil into baskets and carry them away.
There is still a bridge left where Zhu Wentian's Tiansheng Bridge was at that time, and there are seven stone bridges left in the entire artificial canal.
It is no coincidence that the craftsmen who assisted in the design and guidance chose how to leave the bridge based on the road above.
If they still use the method of burning fire and watering water to get the stones, they are only willing to leave one bridge at the most critical position to facilitate the passage of both sides, that is, the Tiansheng Bridge.
With yellow gunpowder and fire-thunder mercury, craftsmen considered leaving more bridges.
"In another ten days, we will blow up the blockage on both sides and let the water flow."
A craftsman shouted to encourage everyone. He finally knew how powerful the new gunpowder was.
Drill holes in many places and put them in. When a large piece explodes, everything underneath becomes loose and the ground trembles.
"The imperial court is sending out troops. They are powerful and can move rubble faster than ordinary people. God's grace!"
Another craftsman bowed in the direction of the Nanjing Palace. He knew that it would be exhausting for ordinary people to do labor.
At present, it seems that a fifteen-mile canal can be built in three and a half months. The main reason is that the gunpowder is easy to use, the soldiers are strong, and they eat well.
One hundred thousand troops came in rotation with those from Nanjing, plus some civilians, so there were 7,000 people working in one mile.
"This is still not skilled enough. If we dig another canal of the same length, with so many people, I can guarantee that it will be opened in two months."
A craftsman next to him who was responsible for making and filling yellow gunpowder and pyrotechnics thought it was too slow.
"When it opens to navigation, I will definitely take a boat to Xiaqiu Village to see what the first village in the Ming Dynasty looked like. The homes of the young masters must be beautiful."
Another craftsman who taught the children how to make explosives spoke up. He always called the children master, especially when he was being taught, he was always scolded, which left a psychological shadow.
When he taught others, he did the same thing, shouting at them: 'Do you want to die? Don't bother me. This thing makes a loud noise as soon as it falls, and then the table shakes, and more falls, and we are all gone! Can you be steady and take a deep breath? Why are there idiots like you in the world...'
"Is it going to be cleared? What kind of thing is that? If you throw it into the lake, can it fry fish?"
A man who lives here and does not pay land taxes and grows wheat this year stood nearby and asked loudly whether he thought it would kill the fish if he exploded it. He didn't know how many fish would be killed if yellow gunpowder and a detonator were thrown into the lake.
How does he know what shock waves propagate through water? Don’t talk about fish! If a person gets a little closer in the water, he will bleed directly internally.
"What kind of fish are you going to blow up? It will kill you. Everyone in the lake will go ashore, and the boat will be moved. Once it is cleared, water will pour in, and the boat will be washed down directly with the water."
The craftsman shouted, can you use this thing? It was made in Xiaqiu Village. Did they use it?
"Why are you yelling?" the other party replied, turned around and ran away, telling the others to stay away from here and wait until they got through.
They have registered as household registration and feel that they are Ming Dynasty people. They will pay land tax next autumn and make money together with Xiaqiu Village.
besides! I had diarrhea today, it’s late!
