As soon as Li Chang said this, Zhu Yuanzhang and others looked at Hanhan again.
At this time, they became more and more certain about the status of the village guard of Xiaqiu Village in the village. In their eyes, the contents in the box were the most important.
As a result, the box followed the villagers. No matter how many memorial tablets were written or how many sacrificial halls were built, it was only true that Hanhan slept in it.
Just like a prince's palace without a prince is definitely not a prince's palace.
In Xiaqiu Village, neither the village elder nor the village chief can decide which sacrificial hall should be used for worship.
"Your Majesty, are there no calligraphy and painting masters in the team? I can't draw such a picture. I can only draw simple lines."
The director did not want everyone to pay attention to Hanhan and urged Zhu Yuanzhang to draw quickly.
"You can't fiddle with things back and forth. Let's stay longer and not delay state affairs. Find someone to come over and copy it for us."
Zhu Yuanzhang obviously wanted to get the pictures quickly, and then find someone to engrave them, print them out one by one, and keep them carefully.
If someone rebels or a disaster occurs somewhere, you can look at the map to deploy.
He recalled it and found that none of today's ministers could copy the picture well, although the picture was not difficult to draw.
Compared with some famous landscape paintings, some people can fake them to look exactly like the real ones, including Mo Hao.
Of course, there is a simplest way to remove the current picture. Peel off the layers and look at the paper. You can peel off four layers, or even five or six layers.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Xiaqiu Village would not agree, so he was reluctant to part with it.
The box was locked again, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to arrange manpower outside the sacrificial hall. He wanted to get his own place.
"Yichang, I have some mutton soup at noon. I want to drink some white wine and medicinal wine. After seeing the picture you provided, I am sick." Zhu Yuanzhang turned to joke with the chief.
"Your Majesty, don't scare the people. If you want to drink sheep soup, just drink sheep soup." The village chief is no longer afraid now.
"Where does Hanhan usually stay?" After Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the village guardian was more important than the box, he was more willing to get in touch with this honest young man.
"Tree, grind, uh uh uh!" Zhu Wentian pointed to the entrance of the village.
That was the place he used to like to stay. Because he had strength, he could always help the villagers when they were grinding things.
"Go there and have a look." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the director.
The chief was obedient and said smoothly: "Your Majesty, please!"
When everyone came to the entrance of the village, they could see three archways, with trees and mills inside the archways.
There was a stone under the tree, where Hanhan sat, looking at the river.
There wasn't much dust on and around the stone mill, so someone had obviously cleaned it regularly.
"You're just willing to stay here, Hanhan?" Zhu Yuanzhang pushed with his hands.
"At that time, there was no big pot of rice in the village. Each family ate their own food, and there was always someone coming to grind rice. Hanhan was very strong, so he kept watch during the day. When someone came to grind rice, he just happened to help.
Next to it was a pile of small stones and pebbles that Hanhan found from the river. If any chickens, ducks or geese wanted to run away from the village, he would hit them with stones.
The hit is accurate and the force is not bad. It will not hurt the poultry, and the roosters and geese will be scared when they see him.
However, the dog raised in the village was close to him. Sometimes he would throw stones into the river on the bank and catch a fish, and the dog would jump down and pick up the fish.
But we were poor at that time and had nothing to feed the dogs, so the dogs had to catch mice and sometimes eat grass.
Dogs have the best fur in the summer, and there are grasshoppers, cicadas, frogs, whatever is edible, the dogs in the village will eat it.
It's just that when a dog gets old, he will leave home on his own and die without knowing where he went. I used to think that the dog didn't want people to see it die, but later I found out that wasn't the case. "
The head of the village introduced the situation of the village in the past, and he was also reminiscing about it.
"Why?" Zhu Xi also knew that dogs would leave home and die outside when they get old. What he thought was that dogs couldn't bear to make their owners sad.
“Dogs were domesticated by our ancestors after catching wolves. If a wolf gets old and does not leave the team, it will be eaten by other wolves.
The same is true for dogs. If they think they can't survive, they will leave. That way they can live longer.
It’s not that they couldn’t bear to see their owner sad, they left because they were afraid of death. If we have dogs in our village, they would strangle them to death and eat them when they think they are getting old. "
The chief told Hanhan what he said, yes, the dogs didn't think that way, they ran out because they were afraid of death.
"Are all dogs like this?" Zhu Biao felt a little uncomfortable.
"No, the hunter's hounds will not run away and die on their own. They will always follow the hunter to catch the prey. Even if they die, they will die in the mouth of the prey.
Therefore, there are very few hounds that die of old age. They are all fighting to the death. They have meat to eat, which is better than the dogs raised in the village.
It's just that he didn't live as long as the dogs in the village. He died after fighting hard, or was bitten to death by prey, or died of exhaustion. "
The chief introduced different situations. How could he have known these things before?
It was the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang and others understood the situation of dogs. Although they didn't know whether they could use it, they felt it was very powerful.
The key is that experts know everything, but it’s a pity that they can’t be found.
"Who is coming over there?" Zhu Yuanzhang put his hand on the mill and realized that someone was coming, and he was stopped at a distance by his own guards.
Someone ran over over there: "Your Majesty! Song Zifu, the magistrate of Ningguo Prefecture, and others are here, saying they want to see the summer grain harvest in Xiaqiu Village."
"Come here when you are here! I think he is just greedy for sheep soup." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
He was not angry. It was impossible for his whereabouts to be reported to Ning Guo Mansion.
The other party was obviously calculating the harvest time of wheat, ramie, and rapeseed in Xiaqiu Village, and felt that it was almost done, so he came here to take a look at the situation.
It proves that they have Xiaqiu Village in mind, which is great! Xiaqiu Village is the most critical.
After a while, Magistrate Song and others led the horses across the archway. At this moment, they understood the situation and His Majesty came.
No wonder Li Zheng and others who arrived early didn't give any news. They couldn't give it out and they were wronged.
Magistrate Song and others were very embarrassed. They knew that the county officials had gone to Xiaqiu Village. It had been two days, so why didn't they receive any news?
Is it because there are no horses available in Xiaqiu Village, or is it because the government officials no longer know how to ride horses?
It's almost time to harvest. Most of the people in Xiaqiu Village have gone to Nanjing, leaving the rest with the manager. Can't we help?
The more critical the moment, the more unreliable you are. We have to come in person and wait to meet.
So... I saw it.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Qin..." Magistrate Song and others came over and said hello...
"Don't kneel down. The concrete floor is hard. The government servants will follow the people and take the horses... No, no horses. Come here, you guys, and cool down under the trees."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked someone to arrange the horse. As a result, the horse knew the way and ran away. Looking at it, you can see that the horse is very happy.
So Magistrate Song and others bowed and thanked them, letting the sweat flow down their foreheads.
The children ran here and served sour plum soup from Jingshui Town.
"Your Majesty is here in person, and I have not waited far to welcome you..."
"Okay! We are closer from Nanjing than you are from Xuancheng. Where are you going to greet us? The county magistrate Li Guan and his friends are here to greet us."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to waste his energy on this, so he motioned to the government officials to stand under the tree.
