On the day of the Little New Year, the people in the village finished their ancestor worship and boarded the boat under the leadership of the village chief. The people sent by the palace five days ago took over the village.
In five days, they became familiar with the situation. The fire in the glass kiln must not be extinguished, the livestock and poultry must be fed, and the vegetables in the greenhouse must be picked...
The guards of the Prince's Mansion were sitting on the boat, looking at their own New Year's goods around them, and they all smiled. Someone came to take over, and they could go back to celebrate the New Year.
New Year goods include sausages, bacon, dried chicken, eggs, salted goose eggs and duck eggs, plus soybean oil, sugar, rice noodles, and soap.
The amount is equivalent to half a year's salary, and working as a guard for Xiaqiu Village is not in vain.
The children on the boat occasionally glanced at the trolley suitcase beside them, which contained roller shoes, making a clattering sound as they slid on the concrete floor of the village, preparing to go to the venue outside Donghua Gate in Nanjing to show others.
The cement floor there should be dry and ready for use, right? It's a pity that this kind of shoes is difficult to learn, but Brother Hanhan is still good.
Zhu Wentian fiddled with the trolley box to see where he could improve it. The wheel was made larger, and the dirt road was not suitable for small wheels to roll on.
The frame of the box is made of old bamboo, and the top and bottom of the box are also made of bamboo boards. It is heavier than those of later generations, but it is very advanced now.
"Zhu Lichang, this box is good. It can be carried, pushed and pulled, and the windlass can be turned back and forth."
A guard from the Prince's Mansion told the chief that he also had one and was waiting for the Prince's arrangement to see whether it would be taken home for him personally or used at the Prince's Mansion.
The director was equally satisfied with the function of the box: "The key lies in the bearings. The current craftsmanship is not good enough. Let the court find ways and let the craftsmen find ways to slowly improve it."
"What Zhu Lichang said is true. The carriage is faster than the previous one if it is replaced with this kind of bearing. The original shaft, the wood and the iron ring are rubbed back and forth, and they always need to be oiled."
Another guard thought of a new use, replacing a bad axle.
…
Everyone talked all the way, and the fleet arrived in Nanjing before noon. The villagers who had never been there looked around.
The people on the pier also looked at the people in Xiaqiu Village. The people who came this time were old and young. The whole village came out. What happened to those boxes? With a wheel? Pull him away?
And that little car, someone’s baby is lying in it. It’s a nice car, but it’s very tiring to hold it.
What kind of car do older people ride in? Big wheels with handles on the back for people to push.
"Ah? Zhu Lichang, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why is there something new?" Zhu Ping got the news and ran over to greet him.
He discovered the trolley case and looked at the babies in several strollers. The babies were all awake and looking at the sky with their big eyes open!
I was very curious when I looked at the wheelchair that the village elder of Xiaqiu Village was sitting on.
"There is no other way. The whole village is traveling, and the old ones don't have the strength. We can't afford to carry this kind of baby who is still nursing, so we have to make something to make do."
Li Chang looked helpless and pushed the box around a few times.
"How old can you use this kind of car to put children in?" Zhu Xi ignored the ostentatious look of the mayor. He remembered that there were children in the palace.
“You must realize that if you don’t travel far, even if you are five or six years old, you can use it. Children are always less powerful than adults.
If it is in the palace, use it sparingly when it can walk. Let the child walk as much as possible. When it is tired, let it be carried, and then put it in the car.
The stroller is suitable for women with children to go out to buy groceries or do work. The baby can be placed in it, and the groceries can also be placed elsewhere. "
The village chief patiently explained that from now on, Xiaqiu Village will have more things to facilitate life. Hanhan said that he wants to develop in this area and benefit people's livelihood.
"I can just walk by myself. Last time I came to watch the ceremony, I walked. I'm not tired and I'm not too old to move." A village elder wanted to come down.
"You walk slowly and delay things. Go back quickly and wait for arrangements." The young man pushing the wheelchair refused.
People from the store came over, loaded things into the car and pushed them away, while people strolled around slowly.
The back of the stroller stands up, and the baby changes from lying to sitting. He looks around like an adult, moves his little arms and legs, and drools from his mouth.
The babies' clothes are no different from Zhu Wentian's back then, and they all look clean and cute.
There was a baby licking his lips and looking up for someone. The woman took out a glass bottle from the place next to the stroller and tested the temperature with her face. If the water was not cold, she fed it to the baby.
"Zhu Lichang, what do you use to give children water?" Zhu Xi discovered a new world again.
"Glass bottles and pacifiers made of gum will prevent children from choking when drinking water.
This pacifier can be taken out separately and given to the baby to bite, which is helpful for sleeping and makes the baby less likely to cry.
The village has done a lot at once. If you can trust it, His Highness King Qin can take some away, including this milk bottle. "
The director also introduced the functions of baby bottles and pacifiers. Isn’t this something that has begun to increase people’s livelihood? Let’s start from the village.
"I have no doubt." Zhu Ping decided to provide a complete set of things for the babies in the palace.
The group of people walked to Xuanjin Bridge. Zhu Xi rushed over pushing a stroller and a baby bottle and pacifier. The guard behind him followed with a wheelchair with a trolley case on it.
After some reporting, Zhu Xi met Zhu Yuanzhang who was about to go to dinner.
Zhu Xi started to operate, introducing as he was doing it, especially holding a separate bearing, flicking it with his hand, and making a whirring sound.
Zhu Yuanzhang took it in his hand and turned it around: "Using this bearing to make the wheels of carts and boxes is indeed better than the original ones."
"Father, the pacifier is not easy to choke when drinking water, and it can be held by the baby. Do you want to try it?" Zhu Fang knew that he had a little sister, who was very young.
"He can still raise children?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the bottle and pacifier and shook his head.
…
People from Xiaqiu Village had already arrived at the store, and then went to live outside Donghua Gate. There were new tents set up there. There was no time to build a house, but the cement floor was wiped out and can be used now.
"All these houses belong to us? Let's go take a look at the back later. Wang Yiqian and the others have left? Are the craftsmen in Nanjing still working?"
The villagers asked around and felt very happy when they saw so many houses.
"After reading it, let's go there quickly and bring the food."
The chief waited for a moment, everyone walked around, and then he greeted them and left.
There are people eating lunch boxes here, and it’s a mess.
A group of people walked to the river again. They couldn't pass through the imperial city, so they had to go around, pass in front of Hongwu Gate, and then go north.
To the south of Donghua Gate, inside Chaoyang Gate, and further north is Banshan Temple, where Wang Anshi lives.
When the Ming Dynasty was established, the outer city wall was built, and Banshan Temple was enclosed so that others could not enter.
Everyone wandered to the place, and the prince stood here to greet them.
"It's very close from my Prince's Mansion. If you have any good things in the future, remember to send them to me."
The prince smiled and greeted the chief. Once you enter the Donghua Gate, you can see the Chunhe Hall. It is really close, less than a mile away.
"Have you eaten, Your Highness the Prince?" the chief invited.
"Didn't eat." The prince looked back, and the people who came with him lowered their heads.
He nodded with satisfaction: "We just want to eat together. You guys eat first. After you finish eating, wait until I'm still alive before you eat."
