The day for the prince's northern inspection tour is approaching day by day, and those who are going out in Xiaqiu Village have already prepared themselves mentally.
Then more vehicles were added, forty-four people went out, and twenty vehicles came out of the village, averaging 2.2 people per car.
Those in the village who are determined not to leave have been practicing shooting recently. They have to wait for the village chief and Hanhan to leave and defend the village.
Zhu Yuanzhang also sent more men to protect the outside. His understanding was that the master must be hidden in the team.
Then the village chief also left, and the village guardian left with him, which was the most unstable for the village.
Of course, no one outside knew that Xiaqiu Village was quietly changing weapons. The previous flintlock guns and the later rotating flintlock guns each had their own shortcomings.
Then the revolving flintlock gun will be preserved, and it will be just like the revolver toy that Zhu Wentian played when he was a child, which does not fire bullets but only sounds, and has a plastic back.
However, it can fire bullets, so there is a problem. Its ammunition firing process is actually different from the previous flintlock gun.
So Xiaqiu Village naturally had breech-loading guns, and they fired directly, following the steps of the revolving flintlock gun.
This has been a long time coming, starting with the flintlock muskets last year, and then the revolving flintlock muskets supplied to the front line after the Spring Festival.
Now it is breech loading, paper bullets, and rifling at the same time.
Zhu Wentian's technology was previously limited by the foundation and Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude. Without making detours, he could quickly promote technology iterations.
Such technological evolution and innovation by others will take several years, ten years, or decades.
Everyone is improving, changing, and replacing in the process of exploration. This is the limit of the technological era.
He doesn’t have to! Ask him to build a spaceship and he won't be able to build it. He doesn't even know how to build it.
Let him make a gun. If someone else has already made it, it will be easy.
Give me a blueprint and see who was able to build a lathe at that time? Some countries just ship the goods casually, while some countries will report them when they see the drawings.
…
The Ghost Festival is coming, and the Qinhuai River is busy again. The weather is not so hot anymore, and tomorrow will be the end of the heat.
Sixteen days ago it was the beginning of autumn, and baby Zhu Xiongying was still lying there with eyes wide open to see the world. As for what he could see, he had to ask himself.
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are affectionate, and the team will set off tomorrow.
"Can I still go to Xiaqiu Village?" The princess knew she couldn't keep the prince, she just wanted to take her son out to play.
"You have to take Xiongying with you! There are other people in the palace as well. Xiaqiu Village is open to others every ten days, as required by the emperor.
We are not restricted. You can take Xiongying there every day, it is more stable there.
When I come back, Xiongying will be able to crawl and maybe even walk! This Xiaqiu Village knows best. "
Zhu Biao looked at his son who was sleeping soundly after eating in his wife's arms, and smiled, thinking of his father and the queen.
There was still war when I was born! I imagine my mother and father looked at me the same way.
"I will go to Xiaqiu Village. There are many babies there, and they are all well-raised. One of them can walk at eight months, which is amazing.
When raising children, you have to look at their village. Babies can learn to swim when they are very young. I only know a little bit.
When the time comes, I will learn from them and say that swimming can make your body better, not just to prevent yourself from falling into the water.
It’s embarrassing for us people from Jiangnan not to know how to swim! I couldn't go out to study before, but now I can. "
The Crown Princess seemed very happy when she got the promise. People in Xiaqiu Village can swim and have good water skills.
Because next to the village is the Huangchi River, which is the river connecting Danyang Lake and the Yangtze River.
Some older people can tread in the water with their shoulders exposed, tie a hemp rope to themselves to prevent the water from washing away, sleep in the water with their eyes closed, and still snore!
"It should be right there, Xiaqiu Village has built a children's playground specifically for our babies!
It was agreed that it would be open for a few days every month, so that the children of wealthy families could come and play and sell tickets.
When it is open, people from our palace will not go there, and the money from the ticket sales will be divided among us.
People in Xiaqiu Village can always find ways to make money, but they are not greedy for money.
We at Xuanwu Lake should do the same thing. What’s the point of playing by ourselves?
Who can go there every day to swim in the lake? It is better to open it to the outside world, collect money, and choose a normal day. "
Zhu Biao knows how Xiaqiu Village operates. Now Daming wants to collect money from rich people to balance the currency operation.
Then some people will say that what you are plundering is just the rich people in Yingtianfu, and people elsewhere still do the same.
It shows that some people still don’t understand this situation. Business is mobile, and foreign businessmen must also have a circle.
Even when Zhu Wentian was a businessman, a businessman would never know the situation of that circle unless he entered a circle.
So as long as they are in the same circle, they will come to spend money so that they can brag to others later.
If a camera captured this situation, they would be even more awesome.
"Then I want another child now?" The princess asked slightly shyly after hearing what the prince said.
"No, just take care of your body. I'll tell you how you want this child. Turn off the light, turn on the light!"
Zhu Biao carried the princess to the bed and asked people to turn off the lights.
…
"I'm sorry to all my ancestors! This year I will be born with the same rank as a Jinshi! Five archways are arranged.
As for the money in the village, there is only 10,000 yuan in cash, and the rest is transferred outside.
Eleven more babies were born, all of them were very interesting, none of them were difficult to give birth to, and none of them died in infancy.
Too little! I am guilty! I am the most failed mayor in Xiaqiu Village! I'm so ashamed...why did the wind blow?
Block it, it’s such a hot day, where is the wind coming from? If I had known, I would have used electric lights.
Ancestors! did you see it? We don’t even use electric lights now, just to take care of you, in case you don’t know..."
On the fifteenth day of July, on the evening of the Ghost Festival, the village chief took the villagers to the sacrificial hall to offer sacrifices.
In fact, everyone doesn't care. You don't know whether your life is going to be good or not?
If it has something to do with our ancestors, then we are also village guardians. There is nothing wrong with us village guardians.
The head of the village didn't care about that. Anyway, he burned paper, kowtowed, prayed, and cried, and no one was left behind.
In fact, this crying is not within the scope of normal procedures. Etiquette does not require crying when worshiping ancestors, let alone crying every chance you get.
The people in Xiaqiu Village just looked on blankly. They couldn't cry anyway. After living such a good life, I have to think about the sufferings I had suffered every time?
"Hanhan, it's your turn! Can you say two more words this time?"
Li Chang was sweating and finally completed the ceremony.
Then it's time for the village guard to speak, even if the village guard just laughs.
Zhu Wentian gave him face, and he shouted in cooperation: "Two, two, words, say more, two, two, words, hey hey hey hey!"
"Hahahaha..." The villagers laughed.
They knew what was going on, but they couldn't help it!
"Hehehehe!" Li Chang chuckled with a depressed look on his face.
