The head of the village got busy. He first went to the King of Qin, Zhu Ping, and asked Zhu Ping to help him find short peach trees that could be put into the greenhouse. He quickly knocked down the peach trees that had bloomed.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi knew that Xiaqiu Village wanted to use greenhouses to grow off-season peaches. He had never heard of this, so he was very positive.
The headman turned around and ran to the convenience store, paid half of the deposit, and first took the orders for honey and soap.
If he comes directly with soap and honey, no deposit is required and the transaction is completed immediately.
If he pays a deposit of half the price of the goods, others cannot sell it. If he cannot provide the goods at the agreed time, he will give the deposit to the other party.
After getting the order, he went back to the village and asked people to make soap quickly. He also checked how much honey was left in the warehouse. If there was not enough honey, he would ask the prince to borrow it at noon.
…
Zhu Biao was standing next to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was looking through the question book, becoming more and more engaged as he read.
After reading it, he told Zhu Biao: "The road to work in Yingtian Mansion can be opened."
While Zhu Biao was watching, Zhu Yuanzhang was explaining the contents of the title book.
“To build a residential area for migrant workers on the other side of the Qinhuai River, it must be gridded and simplified.
There must be open ditches and culverts, and they must be built using brick-concrete construction. A second floor must be built first, and the road must be wide to leave room for future renovation.
Gongfang should be separate for each house, and there should also be public ones outside, and hygiene should be strictly observed.
Digging wells is used to provide water to avoid drinking dirty water and causing stomach upset. Public bathing areas can be set up.
A government office position is set up in each grid square, and there are government officials on duty. More government officials can be recruited.
Houses set aside for rent can be rented out to merchants to sell goods there and collect taxes.
It looks good to us. The question book says that the most troublesome problem is public security. If we improve public security and have enough people come, we can make back the money within a year. "
Zhu Yuanzhang was most satisfied with the last thing and got his money back quickly.
Zhu Biao also finished reading at this time and put down the title book: "The return on investment he is talking about does not mean the money earned directly by renting to migrant workers and shops.
It is the overall improvement in production, life and other aspects that these additional people have brought to Yingtian Mansion, including the fact that they themselves have to spend part of their own money to live.
It is good to arrange for people to give lectures to them. It can be simpler, but they must get used to listening to lectures.
The exam will be taken every ten days and half a month. Those who fail will be given a chance to make up the exam. If they fail again, the road guide will be canceled and they will be escorted home.
If they work in Yingtianfu like this, they can learn a few hundred words and simple arithmetic in one year.
Especially those who have many children in the family but little land, and have not separated their families or married wives, they can stay in Yingtian Mansion for a long time. "
Zhu Biao thinks that it is good to give lectures to migrant workers. He does not expect them to take the imperial examination. As long as it is more convenient in daily life and makes people feel knowledgeable when they return, that is good.
For families like those in Shijiu Lake, no one can read, and their accounts are in a mess.
Some people sell duck and goose eggs, up to ten at a time. If someone buys twenty-five, he is in trouble and has to count slowly.
If someone wants to negotiate the price, for example, how much is cheaper for ten, then it’s completely over, and they won’t give you a cheap one, so the calculation is too difficult.
Not to mention the people in Shijiu Lake and the people in Nanjing, some people who sell agricultural products can only divide them into piles and sell them individually. They don't have scales and they don't know how to read them.
When buying meat, the meat seller tells you how much is the price. If you don't believe it, take the meat to the city manager and the city manager will weigh it. Generally, you will be given more, not less.
If you buy a kilogram of meat, you will be given some support. I am afraid that if the city manager finds out the problem, you will be slapped with a slap on the face. Plus the fine, it will not be enough for a month.
The yamen servants beat me hard when they were doing the work, because the yamen servants were also worried that their family members would be cheated when they went shopping.
"Where are the people who built greenhouses and built gardens for Xiaqiu Village? Allocate manpower and instruct other craftsmen to go to the other side of the Qinhuai River to clear the land and lay the foundation first.
The foundation must be laid well so that you can build on it in the future. Orders were given to local governments to allow them to issue directions to Yingtian Mansion for work.
The convenience offices of Dangtu County and Xuancheng County were ordered to submit questionnaires and compared with the situation of the convenience offices of Nanjing. "
Zhu Yuanzhang began to make arrangements without asking other ministers, because none of them came from the imperial government's finances.
…
On March 16th, the village chief and his people delivered 10,000 kilograms of honey to the place. The person they delivered turned out to be former shopkeeper Song and others.
"This..." Shopkeeper Song looked at the jars of honey, and the businessman with him also had a bitter look on his face.
When they wrote it, they considered that someone wanted to sell it, so each order required the other party to provide at least one thousand kilograms of honey at a time.
In their opinion, no one can do it in the current season and then only buy their bees.
As a result, Xiaqiu Village accepted the order and directly gave me the amount of 10,000 kilograms. Take the money! The people from the convenience store are right next to you!
"Zhu Lichang, do you want to buy bees?" A businessman named Hao next to him asked the manager.
"Don't buy it. There are many bees in Xiaqiu Village. They are raised in greenhouses in winter. After spring, they can actually separate their nests. That's just one bee. Don't you think it's magical?
In winter, Xiaqiu Village harvests a lot of honey, and if there is any shortage, sugar is used to feed the bees. Do you want more honey? I still have it there. "
The head of the village acted according to the plan. It is too expensive to buy bees now. At fifty cents a spleen, whoever buys them is a fool.
A group of people had no choice but to take people to get money. There were several types of money, including the previous one, plus silver.
The children helped pick and sort the money, and weighed the money. After working for an hour, they checked the 600 guan of money and returned it to the other party with dozens of extra qian.
Then take out twenty pieces of silver and give it to the people at the convenience store, and pay a tax of thirty pieces.
"Zhu Lichang, you can use the money to pay for it." The person at the convenience office pointed to a pile of other Tongbao.
There is Dayi Tongbao here, this one was cast by Chen Youliang.
There is the Dragon and Phoenix Tongbao, this one was cast by Han Lin'er.
God Bless Tongbao, this one was cast by Zhang Shicheng.
There is also the Dazhong Tongbao, which was cast before Zhu Yuanzhang officially ascended the throne.
Coupled with the current Hongwu Tongbao, everything is spent as money.
If you want to ban it, he has it in the hands of the people, why don't they let others spend it?
"We took it back and melted the front ones, leaving only Dazhong Tongbao and Hongwu Tongbao."
The head of the village is unwilling to leave the trouble to others. He doesn't care what impurities are in the money. Anyway, the village can handle it.
Dazhong Tongbao and Hongwu Tongbao each have five types, one-wen, two-wen, three-wen, five-wen, and ten-wen, ranging in size.
"So, we're going to collect the money?" Seeing Zhu Lichang's insistence, the other party happily took the money, twenty taels.
The people in Xiaqiu Village began to load the trucks and transport these space-consuming and worthless Tongbao back to the village. People in the village liked silver the most, and one tael was always enough.
It is most convenient to use it to buy a house, but when you go to the market to buy meat or pay for work, you will also use copper coins, both Dazhong Tongbao and Hongwu Tongbao.
Whenever Jubiqi and Boxing Restaurant received other Tongbao, they would not release it outside in order to help the Ming Dynasty unify the currency.
Seeing the money being taken away, shopkeeper Song and others looked at each other, almost speechless and choked.
The honey was bought, and the jar was given to them for free, but they were not happy.
