Zhu Wentian paused with his chopsticks: "Pay more wages, keep more medicinal materials, do your best, and obey fate."
"Yes! Isn't the life of the village better now? Only then can we have time to care about others. How could we think about other things before?"
The director also found that he was too sentimental. People died every day for various reasons, while the living continued.
Moreover, this time the craftsmen and entourage were all selected. The imperial doctors looked at them first, and those who were in poor health or old were not accepted.
When we get to the place, we will call on local craftsmen to work together.
It was agreed that more wages would be paid. One was that the palace had money and could afford the supply. The winning team would receive a large amount of money and livestock.
The other is to appease the hearts of the craftsmen and personnel of the past, and also to appease the hearts of the people who were once under the rule of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
This time, we also need to teach the people how to plant and breed. These are the two books that have been spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
…
"Xiaqiu Village is working hard again today! Is this meat stuffed into pancakes and eaten?"
The people eating box lunches downstairs are not as free-minded as Li Chang. They only care about whether they had a good meal today, so they are happy.
Of course, if the mayor also thinks about himself, he will be happier. He will learn more knowledge and start to worry about the country and the people.
Today's lunch box is bacon flatbread. In the dog days of summer, I will give everyone a good meal and put money on the back burner.
Xiaqiu Village has established a huge people's power through box lunch restaurants. If something happens, someone will definitely come and tell it.
Including who caught the big fish, which family encountered pig sand when killing the pig...
Sometimes they even help stop the sale and tell people not to sell it yet. They will wait until the letter is reported to Xiaqiu Village, and then they will consider it after Xiaqiu Village talks.
Xiaqiu Village does not lose money by selling box lunches. Even if they give them good food during the holidays, they still make a small profit, which is many times more profitable than the original grocery store.
Others don't think so of Xiaqiu Village. They always feel that Xiaqiu Village suffers, so they try their best to help Xiaqiu Village in other aspects.
There are also people who just want to take advantage and are unwilling to pay more, and no one cares about that one.
"I have something to do, so I'll go to the mayor. It's a big deal. Old Yuan Liu's sheep gave birth to four babies at once, and someone wants to buy them and raise them.
After a few of us found out, we stopped others from buying it. I came over to tell them, would Xiaqiu Village buy it?
Those four lambs are all ewes, and there may be two or three lambs in the future. That's what they say. "
Someone came here and looked for the head of the village, saying that other people's sheep had many babies, and the ewe's babies were valuable.
People don't know the word heredity, but they understand that chickens that lay more eggs will have more eggs.
"Hanhan, I'll go down. If that's the case, I'll buy the sheep." The village leader heard the shouting and said something to Hanhan.
"Buy, all, hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian said to the mayor, put down his chopsticks, and looked at the people on the street outside.
Someone was still watering the streets, washing away the stones and exposing the gravel in the gaps.
There is no need to worry about this. After a few days without watering and cooling down, the soil brought by people walking will fill the gaps with the light rain.
The director went downstairs, saw the other party and asked with a smile: "Song Xiaowu, have you eaten?"
"No! The six of us were planning to come here for dinner. We passed by Lao Yuan Liu's house and I came running here.
Someone wanted to buy one for 150 cents, but Lao Yuan Liu didn't want to sell it, so they raised the price to 200 cents for one.
Li Chang, do you think it’s expensive? If it's expensive, I'll go back and tell you I won't buy it. "
Song Xiaowu, who reported the news, said that the most important thing was that someone bought it for two hundred coins.
"It's not expensive. Our village also buys them for breeding. We are willing to buy any sheep that have two or more children, including the big ewe."
The head of the village doesn't care about money now. He wants to buy good seeds and breed them. Hanhan said that when new technology will be used in this area in the future, there will be many twin sheep.
The premise is that the better the foundation, the greater the probability.
So now is the time to lay the foundation. One ewe and four lambs, plus the ram, buy them all. The price is negotiable, and you can guarantee to pay more than others.
"Shall we go then?" Song Xiaowu took the water handed over by the person next to him, took a big sip, and asked anxiously.
"Let's go!" Zhu Wentian came down from upstairs. He remembered where Lao Yuan Liu's home was. He had to cross the river, and it was on the south side of the Qinhuai River.
Before, he thought it was in Nanjing City and he could just go there.
Not now, so far away.
"Hanhan, you stay at home, there are guards from the Prince's Mansion." The mayor didn't want Hanhan to run back and forth.
"Let's go!" Zhu Wentian said again.
"Okay!" The chief nodded.
"Old Yuan Liu's family raises a lot of sheep. This year his grandson was stung by bees. You gave him two kilograms of honey. His grandson tried to sting him, but he was beaten until he cried."
Song Xiaowu talked about the situation of Lao Yuan Liu's family. A large number of bees are cultivated in Xiaqiu Village. There are always naughty children who will reach out to catch the chubby and furry ones.
Especially the little ones, who are just a few years old, see no danger in their eyes and dare to catch anything, including giant spiders, toads, scorpions, leeches...
Then I got stung, close to where the beehive was.
The people who kept bees in Xiaqiu Village pulled out the bee stings and squeezed out the blood from their fingers. They felt that they were not to blame.
The little baby's family also felt that they should not blame others and let their own children squelch the bee.
When the people from Xiaqiu Village came to know about the situation, they brought two kilograms of honey to express condolences.
All of a sudden, the child discovered the way to 'get rich'. The honey is so delicious! Going to catch it again...
"I know, I'll bring something with me, and you can eat there then!" The mayor remembered.
This is why Zhu Wentian knows about Lao Yuan Liu's situation, that kid is interesting.
So Zhu Wentian had a big food box in his hand, and he wanted to follow it! Just carry it.
Ten guards from the Prince's Palace went together. They drove two carriages and the guards mounted their horses.
Unlike Song Xiaowu, he came here on the run, covering a distance of seven or eight miles.
He and his companions were working there and wanted to eat at a place selling box lunches on the south bank of the Qinhuai River.
As a result, I passed by someone else's house and saw many people watching, so I also joined them.
Everyone crossed the river and rushed over there, and it didn't take long to get there.
There were still many people around here, but no one mentioned buying lambs, including people from Lao Yuan Liu's family.
"When the people from Xiaqiu Village come, if they say they want to buy it, sell it to them. If they don't buy it, everyone will buy it again!"
The people of Lao Yuan Liu's family were also very happy. They raised fifteen goats and sold their milk.
Some people buy and sell lambs and usually farm.
"It's the village chief from Xiaqiu Village. Come and look at the sheep. Please give way." Someone saw the team arriving and recognized the village chief.
The crowd watching the excitement all got out of the way, and the leader came closer and said, "Old Yuan Liu, are these five? Where are the rams? You name them, I'll buy them all."
"It's whatever the mayor gives me." Old Yuan Liu chuckled twice and scratched his head.
"Eat first. Where is our baby who is always thinking about getting stung by bees? Come over and eat bacon pancakes." The manager left immediately without any rush.
