"Hanhan, let's move away. Where will we find the manpower? The sacrificial hall built by His Majesty exceeds the limit, so let's saw off the cornices."
The village chief was worried about two things and found Hanhan who had been separated from the mountain god for a while at the mountain temple.
Zhu Wentian and the clay sculpture of the mountain god muttered, saying that there will be one in Nanjing, and the incense here will not stop...
After living there for such a long time, he was used to seeing the appearance of mountain gods. Most people would feel frightened when they looked at clay sculptures of mountain gods.
Hearing the words of the chief, Zhu Wentian shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty gave it to you, and you saw it off, which is disrespectful to His Majesty."
"Not sawing is the only solution!" The manager knew the problem.
"If I want to kill you, it doesn't matter whether I have a reason or not. I'll accuse you of rebelling with firearms. I'll accuse you of not kneeling. I'll accuse you of stealing the crown prince's jade pendant. I'll accuse you of secretly creating large livestock trading documents. I'll accuse you of embezzling 20,000 acres of other people's farmland. you……"
"Don't say it, hanhan, don't say it. I suddenly thought that the cornices are quite beautiful, but I don't know if they have carved beams or painted pillars? It's all the same anyway."
The head of the village interrupted Hanhan and said, "Enough, enough, a whole village of people can die at any time."
He himself has already thought of stealing the methods of making rock sugar, soap, and colored glaze from the imperial court, etc.
In this case, why not decorate the shrine?
"We are recruiting manpower from Nanjing. Ningguo Mansion and Taiping Mansion are busy planting crops twice a year and are overwhelmed.
There are people in Nanjing who have a large population and a large number of brothers. They choose good families to find people.
Just like the lunchbox restaurant, you will be an apprentice in the early stage, and you will start working after two years. The salary will be better when you are an apprentice, and you will be paid after a few months.
Apprentices at lunchbox restaurants can make a living by cooking, and those who breed livestock and poultry will, after they learn enough, go out to help people treat livestock and poultry..."
Zhu Wentian discussed the manpower problem with the village chief and told the village chief that our Xiaqiu Village does not limit people to the village, but cultivates basic talents for the Ming Dynasty.
Xiaqiu Village is a planting and breeding base and will deliver fine varieties to various parts of Daming in the future.
"Yes!" The village chief suddenly said: "Everything in the village is here. You can come back and stay at any time. Let them clean the house and take out the bedding to dry on time. The water tanker..."
"Li Chief, Li Chief, our ancestral graves are here!" Zhu Wentian reminded helplessly.
"Yes, the ancestral graves are here, and this place belongs to us." Li Chang, who had just looked like he was about to say goodbye, suddenly returned to normal.
"Yes, we have an extra house and are moving to the city, which is different from moving to other places." Zhu Wentang nodded vigorously.
"Then hurry up and go. When you get there, you have to decorate your home and put things in the places you're used to." The chief turned around and went out.
Zhu Wentian: "..."
It's impossible for everyone to leave today, we have to recruit people.
Zhu Wentian took his friends to the laboratory to make new things, and they were idle.
It took another two days for Xiaqiu Village to be completely moved away, and 200 people from Nanjing were recruited, leaving ten people from Xiaqiu Village to lead them in their work.
Vegetables are planted in the spring, harvested in the summer, and when rice is planted, people are temporarily hired from Nanjing.
It is estimated that other villages do not have the manpower to come here to work, and they will only come here to rent large animals.
Returning to Nanjing again, the layout of the place outside Chaoyang Gate, just as Zhu Taiyi said, the location of the house is no different from that of Xiaqiu Village.
Even the mountain temple has a hill in that place. The size of the temple and the appearance of the mountain god are almost the same as those in Xiaqiu Village.
The only drawback is that the river is small and the water wheel is not that big, but the boat is ready and the same boatman who did the rotation is still there.
The villagers were very satisfied. They could find their own home with their eyes closed. After entering, they adjusted the furniture. Instead of throwing out the original tables and chairs, they found someone to rebuild them.
They must decorate their homes exactly as they would in the village, even the color of the bedding.
With money, that's it, craftsmen redo it as required.
Zhu Wentian went into the memorial hall, took a look, and placed the memorial tablets. No one was more familiar with the memorial hall in Xiaqiu Village than he was. It was one of his two homes.
What should be where, the distance between the front and back of the tablet, the height of the incense burner, the color of the ever-burning lamp...
Not to mention now, even when he was a fool, he could understand that once his position changes, he will feel uncomfortable.
After dealing with the sacrificial hall, he turned to the mountain temple and continued to adjust the details. He stood on the stage, took out a pick and picked at the face, eyes, nose and other places of the mountain god statue.
"That's right! It's too new. It turns out that's what it looks like now. Just wait until it gets a little dusty. There should be a spider web on it."
Zhu Wentian jumped down and took another look. He was satisfied. The spiders would have to wait a while and be picked in from elsewhere.
The friends are responsible for arranging the utensils and materials in the laboratory, which are where they can put them.
"Not bad, I'm going to cook. Let's see if the stove here works well." The resident came to the 'familiar' kitchen.
"The Holy Emperor has arrived, the Queen has arrived, Concubine Sun has arrived, the Prince and Concubine has arrived, and the King of Qin has arrived."
A group of people appeared at the end of the village, and the archway at the entrance of the village was copied, but no one got off the carriage.
There was no need for the village chief to say hello. When they heard the noise, the villagers ran over one after another. When the chariot arrived, the key six people got out of the car.
The team in the village was arranged according to seniority and age, with the village chief standing at the front and Zhu Wentian on his left.
"Zhu Yichang, the head of Xiaqiu Village, Cao Min, led the people of Xiaqiu Village to pay homage to His Majesty, the Queen, Sun Guifei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin."
The village chief bowed and saluted, and the other villagers followed suit and shouted again to greet so-and-so.
"No courtesy!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.
Everyone stood up and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang secretly. There were smiles on the children's faces.
"Knowing that you have moved here and want to make a new stove, I will bring my family here to light the stove for you." Zhu Yuanzhang was also smiling.
Queen Ma took a step forward and said, "Where's the new stove? I'll light the fire."
"The queen comes with the common people." The chief bowed again.
The guards were about to step forward, but were stopped by the prince. There was no threat to Xiaqiu Village. Hanhan had twenty iron sticks on his body, and he was just standing there!
The canteen in Xiaqiu Village has many stoves, divided into large, medium and small, for making different dishes.
The children went to get some soft firewood and put it in the stove, and Queen Ma just lit the fire.
"Where's the firewood? How can we cook after this? We have to eat here." Queen Ma said to the little girl with a smile.
The children went to grab firewood again. This was hard firewood. When the hardwood is burned, it can be added with coal or charred.
Queen Ma reached back and the maid behind took out the fire sickle.
The little girl took out a box from her pocket: "Queen, use this."
"What is this?" Queen Ma took the small box and looked at it.
The child next to me handed another box to the little girl. The little girl pushed the 'drawer' inside the box and took out a wooden stick with a small head on the front: "Queen, look, use this to scratch the outside of the box on both sides. "
The little girl gestured, but she didn't dare to do it for fear of scaring the other person.
Empress Ma followed her instructions and took out a small stick from the box in her hand, made two strokes on the side, and then stroked hard.
'Chila~~' The flames appeared, and Queen Ma's hand shook, but she stabilized.
She stared at the flame as it moved back and burned, then threw it away when it almost reached her hand.
She took out another one, this time with skill, and rubbed it, a flame appeared, and she lit the soft firewood.
