The boat entered the Huangchi River at a faster speed and arrived at the dock of Xiaqiu Village in a short time.
The pier in Xiaqiu Village is beautifully built. It does not extend out on the river, but is a concave shape created by the retracted bank with cement and stones.
This prevents boats on the river from being unable to adjust and hit the pier, and also provides a place for boats to berth.
Taking advantage of the original terrain, it is recessed for more than 60 steps and is more than a thousand steps long. This way, many ships can be parked, making it very convenient to load and unload cargo.
The reason why it is more than a thousand steps long is because the waterwheel needs water to drive it. If it is shorter, the water will flow outside.
There are two waterwheels on the opposite side of the bank and on this side, and the concave positions are similar.
This is actually convenient for setting up some shrimp pots, so you can always eat shrimps and small fish without any effort.
The ship entered the recesses on both sides, and then found that the pier was not enough. It was a thousand steps long and sixty steps wide. The two sides combined could not accommodate the ships of Zhu Yuanzhang's trip.
Some ships finished unloading people and cargo and turned around to stay in Danyang Lake, while others ran downstream to Wuhu, with sailors on board.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not pay a private visit incognito, and there was no such situation. It was not easy for him to leave the palace once.
There were guards who came in advance to guard various positions on the shore. Zhu Yuanzhang took Queen Ma and Sun Guifei off the boat.
Behind her was the Crown Princess, surrounded by children from Xiaqiu Village. The Crown Princess was in a wheelchair again.
Her treatment is the highest. Once there is danger, the children of Xiaqiu Village will face it directly.
"Ling'er, there is a track in the village? Is there that beautiful food truck?"
The Crown Princess held the hand of the little girl walking next to her and talked. The two of them were the closest.
"Yes, can you do it tomorrow? I'll find someone to build it soon. It won't be difficult." The little girl responded.
"Then make one, and I'll let His Highness pull me around here." The Crown Princess did not refuse.
Everyone arranged a place to rest first, but some people were numb now and wanted to leave but couldn't.
Li Zhixian and others came again, in the name of understanding the implementation of the first phase of the village department store.
I came here last night and stayed in Xiaqiu Village. I wanted to stay a few more days. Anyway, there was nothing going on in the county.
Then……
Then the army came and restricted access and they had to stay in their houses.
Li Zhixian asked about the situation, but no one gave him an answer. They just told them not to move and wait!
After a while, a large group of people came, and they knelt at the door to greet the Holy One.
"Get up, everyone, get up. We almost thought that when we arrived in Xuancheng County, several important officials from the yamen were here!"
Zhu Yuanzhang had previously received a report that four chief officials of Xuancheng County came to Xiaqiu Village to escape the summer heat again, and even brought several officials with them.
In another place, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill people, but he only spared the officials of Xuancheng County and Ningguo Mansion.
There are only 22 villages in Xuancheng County, and they are also responsible for some public security and other affairs in the county.
Twenty-one of the twenty-two villages do not need to be managed by the yamen at all. They are developing well. If the officials do not come to cause trouble, they will be grateful.
The last one is Xiaqiu Village. Looking at the distance, we find that officials working in Xiaqiu Village are almost the same as working in Xuancheng County.
The layout of the villages targeted is almost equal on both sides.
The difference is that there is another city. That city is not all under the control of Xuancheng County. Ningguo Mansion intervenes, so it is impossible for all the soldiers guarding the city gate to be from the county.
In that case, if the county magistrate rebels, he can directly block the city gates and mobilize the power of the county to arrest all the government officials.
How could something like this happen? There are government teams in the government offices, and there are even troops in the city.
Now this is the center of Xuancheng County, where officials are kneeling.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Zhixian and others thanked him first, then stood up and stood aside obediently.
Zhu Yuanzhang and others began to choose a place. In Xiaqiu Village, they were all two-story buildings with two entrances. Only the sacrificial hall had three entrances. This was obviously not possible.
None of the people in Xiaqiu Village are willing to enter the sacrificial hall at night, let alone outsiders. Only the villagers do not care.
Zhu Yuanzhang and others lived in the building, and some guards protected the previous bungalow, but no one chose the fourth courtyard.
It is arranged here that some people will build a pumpkin track car for the Crown Princess, while others will squeeze in and find a place in someone else's house.
The two-story houses with two floors are very big. Generally, the two-story houses built in Zhu Wentian's village at that time were built with one floor, and the four-story houses were built with one floor.
The new building in Xiaqiu Village can easily accommodate the original ten households with two entrances.
Sanjin's sacrificial hall, if a normal person goes in at night and his legs don't tremble, he has a strong will.
The village guard is not here, and the village chief doesn't want to enter. Looking at the memorial tablets of our ancestors makes me feel numb sometimes!
But after Zhu Wentian arrived here, he obviously changed into a different person. He said that he was taught by the mountain god in his dream, but in fact the villagers didn't care.
They only care that Hanhan can still place a memorial tablet in the shrine, clean the dust, light a lamp at night, and sleep soundly.
After the accommodation and security matters were settled, the people in Xiaqiu Village started making lunch.
The team came out early, the route was short, the rowing speed was faster, and there was still more than half an hour before dinner.
Zhu Yuanzhang changed into regular clothes and looked around with his eldest son Zhu Biao and second son Zhu Fang, accompanied by the village chief and the children of Xiaqiu Village.
"It's so long! Last time I said there were more than 600 big animals? I can't smell it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang walked around with his hands behind his back instead of getting on the rail car. He actually wanted to see the cattle shed. He had raised cattle when he was a child and had rich experience.
"His Majesty asked, there are already more than a thousand. The village is close to Dangtu County. Someone was selling livestock, and the city secretary there helped buy it."
The village chief replied that Dangtu County is an important location on the Yangtze River, and there are always people buying and selling livestock.
When they find something suitable, the city secretary will help buy it and send it to Xiaqiu Village for settlement. Xiaqiu Village will give an extra 5% as hard work fee.
While talking, everyone came to the livestock breeding area, which is covered with cement pavement, including the inside.
At the same time, there are special drainage channels, and hired people take out the old grass from it, wash the ground with water, and wait until it is dry before laying new grass.
The sewage flows along the ditch to the collection area, which has several large pools of different heights.
This is equivalent to a combined sewage treatment plant and fertilizer collection plant. The water from the last pool is directly used to water the ground fertilizer.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, no place was operated like this. Nine pools were processed step by step.
The fertilizer is different in each location. Rain will not affect this place because it is covered.
Unless there is a particularly heavy rain that floods the entire place, it can only flow into the Huangchi River.
After such a heavy rain, the Huangchi River quickly flows into Wuhu and into the Yangtze River, and the pollution impact is very small.
"The animals are all good, they are used for breeding!" After Zhu Yuanzhang understood this, he looked at the animals.
Male and female donkeys, horses, and oxen are all good, but mules have difficulty in reproducing because they are hybrids, so they are not considered.
"Your Majesty, horses are the most difficult to raise. Look at those big horses, which cost a lot of money. They are tall and big, and their hooves are like pots.
Not counting normal concentrate, twenty eggs, duck eggs, or ten goose eggs should be fed every day.
Now that there is a shortage of good mares again, mares from the army can be sent over and bred for free. "
The chief pointed to the six big stallions and said, "This horse is one step taller than an ordinary horse, and its hooves are two circles larger than other horses."
"It can't be free. How can our court take advantage of your Xiaqiu Village? I'll give you a penny for one horse. Hehehehehe!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very happy looking at Da Ma, joking by the way.
There are multiple alliance leaders in this book, the Toho Evil God, and we will make arrangements to add the Snow Goddess and the Toho Evil God in the future. Thank you!
