When Zhu Xi came upstairs, Li Chang and Han Han were peeling shrimps together.
Two people have to handle the live shrimp delivered with salt water and aeration device, and cook for the princess in the evening.
The Crown Princess now feels like she will give birth to a baby every day, and the most experienced and learned woman in the village is always on standby.
They were divided into three groups and took turns sleeping. They did not do any other work as agreed with the Crown Princess.
When the princess got up in the morning, she said she wanted to eat shrimps, and they were sea shrimps.
Last time Zhu Biao gave a banquet to one hundred and forty students, and the princess loved to eat grilled prawns.
"Your Highness is here!" The chief heard the footsteps and looked back. He saw Zhu Ping coming up and said hello.
"Come!" Zhu Wentian also greeted.
"You want to make shrimps? Live shrimps are good! This is a method provided by our village. Use something like a fan to inflate the water. Sure enough, you can survive a lot more seafood and you can live longer."
Zhu Xi mentioned this method. Previously, some people used seawater to transport seafood from the sea to Yingtianfu, but many people died.
After that, Xiaqiu Village came up with a method and kept it secret for the time being, but no one wanted to get involved in the seafood trade, so let’s just benefit the people!
Just like the iron smelting shop, there are steps and shakers to provide air to the furnace.
Seafood needs a better-sealed tube, which can be stepped on or shaken, and bubbled into the water along the way.
It worked really well, so everyone who used this method called it the Xiaqiu Village Cheer-Up Method.
To commemorate this, but not give a penny.
"Your Highness, please sit down first. You'll be ready soon." The chief put the shrimps he had just finished aside and washed his hands in another basin.
Zhu Wentian continued to handle the remaining four prawns, all of which were one arm long.
After washing his hands, the chief asked: "What will your Highness eat?"
"You can eat whatever is available, and the box lunches are not unpalatable. The box lunches in our village are the best, and any dish is delicious.
Especially when the weather is hot, everyone has a bad appetite, but the lunch boxes in Xiaqiu Village are edible.
Fortunately, it only sells once at noon, and the quantity is only that, otherwise there is no need to do other people's transactions. "
Zhu Chong was not picky. He would take the food from the restaurant directly to the palace without any problem and it would be cooked cleanly.
"Hanhan, I'll make two dishes in a minute." The head of the house knew that Zhu Xiang came over for something, so he ate slowly and drank some wine.
Zhu Wentian finished processing it here, took it down and refrigerated it in ice, waiting to be cooked in the evening.
He felt that the Crown Princess was going to give birth in the next day or two. Even if she said she would give birth now, there was no need to panic.
Everything is always ready, including medicine! I would rather waste it than endure it.
Ordinary people cannot enjoy this kind of treatment. For half a month, they have used more than 20 medicinal herbs every day.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that everything is wasted, there are some medicines! It can also be used in other ways, and some other diseases can be treated by adding some other medicinal materials.
Such medicine will be sent to the nursing home, and then heated every day. As long as it is not bad, it will be effective.
The princess cannot take this kind of food, and the medicine in the palace is very strict.
Zhu Wentian called his friends and cooked six dishes in two quarters of an hour. They were all big pot dishes, but they were more delicious than stir-fries.
He is very strong and can flip a medium-sized pot by pulling and pushing it with one hand, but he can stir-fry with one hand like a normal spoon.
Including the sizzling lamb, while he was frying it, his friends would grill it on the sizzling plate and put the side dishes on it. After frying, they would pack it up and everyone would take it over to eat.
In addition to the guards, they were stationed everywhere, and several people sat at one table.
There were forty guards in total, including twenty from Zhu Ping himself and twenty from the Prince's Mansion. The ones from the Prince's Mansion followed the children all the time.
"Cooking is faster when there are more people. I got a cow this morning. It didn't look good so I didn't buy it. Your Highness, please!"
The head of the house poured beer for Zhu Chong, while Hanhan poured it for himself. We didn't share the meal, but we didn't pick up food for others either.
Zhu Xi took a sip of beer and felt less hot. He looked out the window and said, "This street belongs to us!"
"Absolutely. The one in front belongs to the Crown Princess's natal family." The head of the house agreed.
"I came here with a mission. My father asked the ministers to discuss the problem of labor shortage. I think the head of the district should know about it."
Zhu Fang ate the sizzling mutton again and got down to business. He wanted to know if Zhu Lichang understood what he wanted to ask.
"The Analects of Confucius, Ji Shi said: Those who have a country and a family are not worried about being few but about inequality; they are not worried about poverty but about insecurity.
This is what His Highness is asking. In terms of the relationship between supply and demand, variables have increased, and in terms of income and consumption throughout the Ming Dynasty, variables have also increased.
He who gathers government in one land must gather people in one place; he who gathers people in one land must gather wealth in one place.
Government is a matter of man, not of God. The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is excess damage; the way of man is to make up for the deficiency when there is damage.
The difficulty of administration lies in harmonizing the deficiencies of heaven, earth and man; the ease of administration lies in gathering the wealth of the world and benefiting the people of the world. "
The head of the village answered Zhu Xi's question, "I know whether I know or not. You see, I will tell you."
Zhu Xi stood up and bowed slightly: "Thank you, Chief!"
He had to admit that the chief was still the same chief when he came here, the chief who could help him solve his marital troubles.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be like this." The head of the house served Zhu Chongman wine again.
When Zhu Xi sat down, he said: "I think coming to the court is nothing more than choosing people who are close to come to Nanjing, and people who are far away are organizing to come immediately."
"Yes! That's right!" Zhu Xi nodded repeatedly, awesome!
You don’t even need an expert to take action personally, the commander is enough to teach you.
"Actually, there are three modes that can immediately solve the current problem." Li Chang raised three fingers.
"Is it difficult?" Zhu Xi asked first. He wanted to find paper and pen.
"Easy to understand." The director said no.
"Please ask the chief to come." Zhu Ping sat upright.
“The first one can be called a distributed collaboration model. You don’t have to find the person doing the work in one place, and then make sacks and fill them with sand.
Divide these out and tell other families to provide a sack of sand and put it at the door or a designated place and you will get money.
Even if everyone goes to the river to collect sand and puts it on the river, we can also load it on a boat and transport it there.
Spread out the requirements and then get them back, and the whole process won't cost you anything more.
Because the price can be lowered, many people have free time, such as half an hour a day, and they are willing to make this small amount of money. "
The chief said that the matter of weaving sacks and filling sandbags was left to the entire Yingtian Mansion.
It's impossible for many people to help you pack sand all day long because they have other things to do.
But if you don't ask for time, just look at things, and pay according to the things, they will have free time, and when they see that there is money to be made, they will naturally do it.
In this way, the leisure time of many people in Yingtian Mansion was fully utilized. The court paid less and the people got more money.
A very simple job that requires no technical expertise.
Then this operation will make up for the manpower gap and suppress the entire market. When a small number of people can participate, the price is high, but when most people participate, it is naturally cheaper.
"Your Highness, don't you need to remember it specially? You can understand it as soon as you say it." The head of the village asked Zhu Xi.
