'Wow~wow~~''Pfft''Pfft'"Ouch!"
After dinner, on the large cement floor in front of the tent, children from Xiaqiu Village were sliding around with roller shoes on their feet and construction helmets on their heads.
Their gliding posture is that their legs are spread apart in parallel, their arms are open, their bodies are leaning forward, and their left and right feet are moving one by one.
If I accidentally fell to the ground, I couldn't hit my head at all, but my butt and hands hurt.
All the little hands are black. It is winter now, and after falling several times, the hands are numb and painful.
The roller shoe village didn't have time to make shoes that looked like shoes. It was just a board with four pulleys in a double row underneath, and they were tied to the shoes with ropes.
The place where the heel of the shoe rests is raised a little, just against the heel, and won't come out.
The villagers sat outside to watch and bask in the sun. There was a fire tunnel built in advance under the tent, so it would not get cold after being burned.
The five babies were also wrapped, and this one had its face exposed. It was also sitting and watching, and some of them fell asleep.
The other four pregnant women had not yet given birth, and they walked slowly with their bellies held out.
Children who are younger than Zhu Wentian's friends also wear roller shoes. They are not afraid of falling. They are short in height and will not hurt if they fall.
"Wash your hands and take a rest. The more you fall, the more painful it becomes." The village chief asked the children to wash their hands, and some villagers came over to help the children.
After washing with warm water, each child finally felt comfortable.
"It's swollen, my hands are swollen." A child grinned.
No one paid attention to him, so he just got swollen! Could it be that you won't be able to slide if you're swollen?
Sure enough, after wiping his hands dry, he took a bite of watermelon and went up again.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi looked on. They actually wanted to go up and play, but the village chief disagreed because they were afraid of falling.
Two people went riding horses by themselves, and the captain couldn't help it, so they fell and fell. God knows what would happen if they broke an arm or something.
"Even when it comes to playing, Xiaqiu Village is better than others." Zhu Fang was going to get a pair of roller shoes and find a flat place to learn.
"The really good thing is the new bearings. The army's baggage vehicles use good bearings and are less likely to break. In construction sites, with such bearings, the vehicles can load more things at one time."
The prince knew that the axle on an ordinary car had shrunk to the size of the current pulley, and it would be impossible to slide out like this after putting it on.
Moreover, the manufacturing of bearings involves many problems. When improving bearings, other processes are also improved.
"Chief Zhu, look at what's missing in the tent. I'll ask someone to bring it to you." Zhu Biao said to the chief who sat down again.
The director thought about it and shook his head: "There is no shortage. We have brought everything we can use, including lamp oil and candles. We will take everyone out for a walk tomorrow.
I have been in Nanjing for such a long time and have never been to a few places. The most common ones are the nearby markets.
Your Highness, I will give you the money later. The village has made a lot of money selling vegetables recently, and it becomes anxious when there is more money. "
The chief said, thinking of the 8,000 gu owed to the prince. After buying fresh vegetables, he earned more than 4,000 gu from Fuhua House and more than 31,000 gu from the restaurants and brothels.
It can't be sold now, it's too expensive, and it's unaffordable for others to eat it fresh and always eat it like this.
"After giving it to me, how much do you have left? Is it enough?" Zhu Biao did not refuse.
Without Zhu Wentian from Xiaqiu Village, he would not have been able to spend 8,000 yuan at a time to help others buy a house, and the palace would also be poor.
As a result, all kinds of profitable business were handed over to the palace, including Zhu Ping, who became rich. Otherwise, how could Zhu Ping afford so many houses?
At present, Zhu Yuanzhang is using his own money to subsidize well digging in Shandong. Zhu Yuanzhang is also responsible for the army's new firearms and explosives.
After the imperial court defeated Xia Guojun in Sichuan, they got some money and used it to hire people to mine, including coal mines, trona mines, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, copper mines, and iron mines.
Then build a new converter for steelmaking, build the imperial city of Nanjing, build the Ming Dynasty Navy, the Yangtze Yuan, the herbal medicine library, and the Huimin Pharmacy...
There is a way to live without money, and there is a way to live with money.
"There are more than 27,000 yuan left from selling vegetables. I plan to give His Highness the King of Qin to buy a house. The money spent by His Highness the King of Qin will be shared by Xiaqiu Village and they will do business in partnership.
But don't worry, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, the price of fresh vegetables in Xiaqiu Village will drop to fifty cents per catty, and Fuhua Building will no longer be able to sell them.
Give Fuhua Tower thirty cents per catty, other places on the Qinhuai River forty cents per catty, and other places fifty cents.
After all, they make a lot of money from them. Although they also make money, when the 100-acre greenhouse at Banshan Temple is sold, the palace will probably only sell it for 30 coins per catty. "
The chief pointed to the end of Donghua Gate, where the 100-acre greenhouse in the palace is located. When you can buy vegetables there, spring has already begun.
There are no cucumbers and eggplants to eat in spring, but there are wild vegetables. Even the rich people are willing to wait a little longer to eat the cheap vegetables from the earth.
"Thirty cents is not low. We all know the cost of a greenhouse. If you sell vegetables for 30 cents per kilogram, you can make back the money from the greenhouse in one month. What you sell again is the profit.
Next winter we will plant 10,000 acres, and ice will be sent from the north. Fresh vegetables will be sent from here to be sold wherever they can. Vegetables are not easy to preserve.
The vegetables here in Nanjing can be transported by water to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Sichuan. Depending on the speed of the ship, the vegetables can be delivered before they spoil. "
Zhu Biao chatted with the head of the house, chatting about family matters, and the ideas were given by the head of the house.
After a while, the children stopped playing. It was probably because the fall was too painful and they had to take it slow.
The village chief led people to take money to the prince and King Qin. When the two returned to the palace, the villagers here set up pots to cook.
"Hanhan, fifty cents per catty is too cheap, isn't it?" The chief looked around and saw that there were no guards anymore, so he asked with relief.
"The vegetables in our greenhouse are getting old, and we need to be able to pick new ones, so we have to sell them quickly. For fifty cents, we sell them to other restaurants or wealthy families."
"Yes, but it's a pity that it's a long way to transport vegetables to the north in winter."
"Why not let the palace send people to plant greenhouses locally? Then send people to inspect the greenhouses to see the production and pricing.
When the time comes, the person sent is corrupt. Once found out and arrested, the money will come back.
As for the fact that I didn’t have the money to sell it and secretly picked vegetables to eat, then just eat them! How much can you eat? "
Zhu Wentian felt that everyone's thinking was restricted, so why bother thinking about transporting vegetables? It's cold in the north, so build a fire wall and a greenhouse to grow and sell.
"I wrote it down, but I didn't expect this. This year, when I celebrate my ancestors during the New Year, I must tell my ancestors that it's too difficult to be a leader. I worry about the whole Ming Dynasty..."
The chief muttered as he spoke, then turned back to the tent to write a letter so that it could be sent to the prince.
"What is this? There will be more things in the future, and you still have to learn, including things overseas."
Zhu Wentian shook his head, put on his roller shoes, and slid up, showing various postures gracefully. He then spun two times in the air and landed on the ground. No matter how much more, he couldn't turn.
"Brother Hanhan is awesome!" the little girl shouted first.
"Brother Hanhan, please teach us how to slide backwards. It looks good when sliding backwards." A boy ran closer.
