It will still be sunny the next day, so there is no need to worry about wheat.
After harvesting ramie and rapeseed first, people from Xiaqiu Village soaked the land with water last night. This morning, while the weather was still not too hot, they drove their animals to plow the land.
The advantage of having large animals and many animals was immediately apparent. The ground had only been soaked for one night and was still very hard when plowed, but it could not hold up the strength of the animals and the ability to plow.
"I hope I can finish plowing today, rake tomorrow, soak in water for a day, and then transplant the rice seedlings."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was watching from the ground, knew his business, and the efficiency of work in Xiaqiu Village was achieved with money.
"When your Majesty captures Helin, you can build some forts there to raise livestock. The people of the Ming Dynasty will have more things to use."
The head of the village does not need to do it himself. The men in the village help the plow, and there are sergeants nearby to help. The women stay on the shore to help cook.
The sailors went to the lake to net fish last night, and some went to Yingtian Mansion to get ingredients.
If Xiaqiu Village is expected to supply tens of thousands of troops, all the pigs, sheep, bamboo rats, and poultry will have to be killed.
Last night, the mutton soup was not served to many people. What they ate was stew from a can, which was like a random stew in Northeast China, but without potatoes or kidney beans.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked back to the north: "But it's not just that one place. Shanxi, Shaanxi and the Hetao area are no longer in danger of being attacked at any time."
"What your Majesty said is true. In addition, Beiping, the land of Youyan that was lost to the Song Dynasty, can also raise horses and is rich in products."
Maps appeared in Li Chang's mind again, and Hanhan drew a map of the entire Ming Dynasty. He drew a little bit a day for more than two years.
"Yichang, we found that you have a good memory! Why didn't you take the imperial examination before?"
Zhu Yuanzhang noticed it, and his second son followed Zhu Yichang. When something happened, the chief could always teach him.
When talking to himself, it is impossible to read from a fixed script, and he doesn't know what he wants to say.
As a result, after getting in touch with him, I found that Zhu Yichang remembered a lot, and he could remember it after being given guidance by an expert.
"I'm so poor! Where do I get the money to study? Before, the previous head professor didn't have much of what I had."
The head of the village turned to look at the village's sacrificial hall, where the memorial tablet of his predecessor was placed.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded lightly: "We did the same when we were young. Later we became monks in the temple and learned a few words from the old monks. Now, we are pretty good too!"
"Your Majesty is the real Dragon Emperor, with a single glance and a photographic memory." The chief praised him along with his words.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "We don't have that ability. Speaking of this, Wei Su was rescued and led a group of people to compile dictionaries in the library.
Imperial doctor Zeng Lu looked at her and said she had no serious illness and had already prescribed medicine for minor ailments. Do you want someone to take a look at it again?
At the age of seven, he could memorize the Five Classics verbatim, and his life now is like books.
For example, if you ask him about the Tang Dynasty, he will tell you about every system, including the etiquette at that time. If you ask him about the Sui Dynasty, he will still tell you about it.
He is only sixty-three years old this year, and he is still alive. He seems to be in good health, so don’t be careless..."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought of Zeng Lu. Zeng Lu was in the team. This person was like having books by his side.
"Then let me arrange it. Indeed, having someone who knows everything is by your side to remind you all the time is different from looking for books by yourself."
The chief can understand Zhu Yuanzhang in this aspect, because there is one beside him, and he is more powerful than Zeng Lu.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a long look, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He understood why the other party had such a common language, that is, we are the master, we are the master.
"The Northland official who lived here before was named Wu Lai, and he left?" Zhu Yuanzhang thought of someone.
According to speculation, the other party came to inquire about the situation on behalf of the officials who had escaped from the Northland, and arranged to live in Xiaqiu Village.
The commander nodded: "He went back last month when the weather was warmer. After the war is over and they know the news, they should come back."
"It's not easy to arrange. Let them be officials in the north. I'm afraid their contacts will secretly instigate them.
Take them to the south and worry about them contacting officials from the previous government here.
Officials from the south of the Yangtze River were sent to the north. They were not familiar with the local situation and it was difficult to handle it! "
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to employ people, and there were ready-made officials who could be arranged in the right places, which was better than candidates who didn't know everything at once.
"Your Majesty, the Ming Navy's ships and people are gradually increasing. In addition to being sent to Shandong and other places, they can also enter the Bohai Bay, which is the seaside where Hejian Mansion is located.
There are canals connecting Peiping, which facilitates travel. Not only can goods can be transported through the canals, but the sea route is also no problem, as there are sea ships.
It is easier to mobilize the army at sea, and you can control a large area in the northeast.
The connection between Goryeo and Northeast China can be strengthened by ships passing there and exchanging products with Goryeo. "
As the chief said, he found a small wooden stick and drew a picture for Zhu Yuanzhang on the ground.
Draw a seaside route map from Fujian to Dandong, now called Jiuliancheng, with frequent overland trade with Korea.
The main ones there are ginseng, plus other herbs, and there are also a lot of animal skins.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood at first, looking down at the long paintings, and then squatted down as he looked at them.
He took a look at Li Chang and then looked at the picture on the ground. He began to doubt, and even thought for a time that this person was an expert.
How can I still know the picture? It’s so scary. Is the picture real?
"Your Majesty, look at this road, including other places, from Dengzhou Prefecture in Shandong Province all the way north, past Laotieshan Waterway, where Jinzhou is located.
There are many mountains in Jinzhou, making life difficult for people living by the sea. However, they can blow up the mountains to collect rocks and soil to build houses and docks.
There are many islands around, which are suitable for marine culture, including pearl culture, kelp culture, scallop and other shellfish culture. "
When the village chief talked about Dengzhou Prefecture, he wrote the word "Penglai" at that location, and he also wrote Laotieshan Waterway at the location of the Bohai Strait.
Crossing the strait and heading north, he wrote about Jinzhou there, but not about Jinzhou Wei, because Jinzhou Wei was not established until three years ago.
Including the position that just crossed the strait, it is now blank, and it will be the Golden State left guard in the future.
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at a location with his finger: "Where is this?"
The location he clicked was not drawn, it was just off the map.
The chief took a look, looked up, thought about it, simply drew the river, and wrote: "This is Yongping Mansion, this is Changli, and the southwest of Changli is Leting."
Your Majesty saw that these two rivers are divided into the east and west of Leting. There are mountains at that location, so the Luanhe River is divided into two sides.
The river to the east is called Hulu River, which finally flows into the sea, and the river to the west is called Dingliu River, which also flows into the sea.
Here, I draw a small circle. When the Dingliu River reaches the sea, there is an island not far away called Xiangyun Island. "
After the director finished speaking, he thought about it again and nodded, indicating that it was no problem. This is where he drew it correctly.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the picture on the ground for a long time, then raised his head and stared at the chief again to take a closer look.
"Your Majesty, is there any discrepancy?" The chief was panicked.
"Next year, we are going to ask all the prefectures and counties to draw a map of dangerous mountains and rivers. Yichang, are you willing to participate?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the chief could help.
"Pictures? This... Your Majesty... I will take you to see a set of pictures. Remember to leave the original manuscripts with the village." The village chief hesitated and decided to present the pictures.
