In the afternoon, people came one after another to bring things to His Royal Highness to express their closeness and gratitude.
The officials helped publicize that the prince came to make money for the people and make it safer, so he sent people to clean up the wild beasts and poisonous snakes on the mountain.
Within half a day's journey, the people organized themselves and gave them what they thought was the best gift.
This time, Zhu Xi's people were very powerful, and Zhu Xi was not angry that others did not give them to him.
He took people to look at the gifts brought by the people, gave the value, and asked the people to tell their names and home addresses, and then take their fingerprints.
When the people in the Prince's Palace judged the price, they were too far behind the Prince of Qin's Palace. The people in the Prince of Qin's Palace followed the Prince of Qin in doing business.
The people didn't know what it meant. Anyway, they just said it and pressed it when they were asked.
After delivering the things, they went back into the mountains to collect medicinal materials and waited for the prince to collect them.
Zhu Ping was responsible for arranging the return gifts, which must be more expensive than the things sent by the people and be practical.
It's useless to give a big pearl, the people don't dare to sell it, so they have to offer it.
Zhu Xi calculated it and felt embarrassed, so he ran here to find the village chief who was drinking tea with Zhu Biao: "Liang Chief, the common people brought things to my brother, what gift should we give in return? We gave him the things we brought, but we are afraid that we don't have enough for ourselves. .”
"Give me soap and soap! Everyone likes to bathe with soap on festive days. We usually wash our hands with soap. Some clothes have oil stains, and soap can wash them away."
The village chief doesn't think returning gifts is a problem. Now hunting wild beasts is profitable.
"But we don't have anyone in our team who can make soap or toilet soap... uh... what should we do if we run out of alkali?"
Zhu Fang wanted to say that there were no soap-making craftsmen in the team, but he suddenly realized that there were, and not only were there, they were also very powerful.
"Let's go northwest from here. The place where the alkali is produced is also in Henan. Send someone to tell them to transport the alkali and go north. We will meet up when the time comes."
How could the headmaster not remember where there is a natural alkaline mine? The village has always needed the alkali there to make things.
Zhu Biao expressed his position: "This will add to the trouble. To this day, the method of making soap has never been spread to the outside world."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will cordon off the place so that no one else knows about it." The chief understood.
If you can make soap, you can guarantee that you can make soap. Soap has been sold to the Yi people, and only occasionally a batch of soap will be released from within the Ming Dynasty.
If the Yi people learn it, the Ming Dynasty will immediately lose something good to export.
Therefore, when the team came out, they did not bring any craftsmen, including those who made colored glaze.
However, some craftsmen who made flintlock guns followed on the road. If the gun broke, they needed to be repaired.
After the chief said that, he immediately went to prepare, and the oil of the beast was boiled out first.
Zhu Xi picked up the long cup, shook it, dipped his fingers in tea water and washed the outer rim, poured it out and poured himself a cup of tea.
"I just forgot. I always remembered that Xiaqiu Village taught us knowledge and that their cooking was delicious." Zhu Xi realized that he had not remembered it well.
"Last time they did it once and paid for it, but then they stopped selling it. As time goes by, it's really not easy to remember."
Zhu Biao comforted his brother that the soap in Xiaqiu Village had not been sold a few times.
Including rock candy, it was given to the palace to earn money from the barbarians.
Yes! The technology is passed down from family to family, and Xiaqiu Village has soaps with various scents.
"Brother, with them here, we will feel safe along the way! They sent forty-four people, but it gave us a better feeling than thousands of troops."
Zhu Fang lamented that he was not worried when he found that Xiaqiu Village was following him.
Little did he know that the strongest team of forty-four people dispatched from Xiaqiu Village had mastered a full set of techniques, and the key was Hanhan.
The guards of the Prince's Mansion were summoned by the chief, who was asked to be on guard and not allow anyone to approach. Everyone began to deal with things.
They want to make a large amount of soap and soap to give gifts to the people in return. The things they make are calculated at cost according to the value of the people's gifts.
Otherwise, the sales price of a piece of soap will exceed what each household brings, and the people will have little use for a piece of soap.
…
In the evening, ten thousand sergeants who had gone out in the morning came back with a lot of prey.
They first ran to the river to take a bath, changed their clothes and returned to the team. They would stay behind tomorrow while another 10,000 people went out.
People who go out will get their pointers, saving time.
Fengyang Mansion officials were summoned again, and Zhu Biao invited them to eat wolf meat pot.
But there was no wolf skin. It would be too wasteful to eat the wolf skin, so we kept it to make clothes.
Everyone drank liquor soaked in medicine. Zhu Wentian picked out the tofu and dried cabbage in the pot and ate it. Occasionally he took a bite of wolf meat, which tasted like dog meat and had a bad taste.
Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, and the officials each had a small casserole.
The officials of Fengyang Prefecture also had wolf meat pot for the first time. They had eaten wolf meat stewed and roasted before. There are wolves in the local area, so they should try it!
They had never encountered the way of eating it now. They took a bite of wolf meat and found that it was not fishy at all.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Qin, the Guanglu Temple in the palace is indeed amazing." Qin Yu, the magistrate of Fengyang, praised it sincerely.
"Just use the beany smell to suppress the meaty smell. The beans must be cooked, otherwise the beany smell will be strong again.
Soybean mutton, black bean fish, soybean pig's feet, etc. all use beany smell to suppress other fishy smells.
Mutton can also be added to the fish soup to cook it. All things in the world are in harmony with each other.
For example, in Fengyang, where the mountain roads are difficult to travel, there are rivers passing through. If the land route is not possible, we must take the water route.
Since there are waterways, it is naturally suitable for raising ducks and geese. There were books on raising ducks and geese in the past, which can teach the people. "
Zhu Biao didn't call the officials over because he couldn't find someone to drink with him. He wanted to tell the officials what to do.
Look at the officials in Ningguo Mansion. From top to bottom, they all follow the model of Xiaqiu Village. If the situation changes in some places, they will change accordingly.
The other one is Taiping Mansion, which also followed later, learning from Ningguo Mansion.
Now that I have arrived in Fengyang, I naturally have to bring the officials here on the right track. The old ways no longer work, and I must actively help the people.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is right. We will definitely find people who are willing to raise ducks and geese to raise more of them. This wolf meat is not fishy, is it because of the tofu?"
Qin Yu said he understood and then talked about eating.
"The leftover bean dregs from making tofu are cooked, put in gauze and cooked together with wolf broth. Some tofu has just been put in, but it can't suppress the fishy smell.
Just like how people live their lives, if we plan for the long term, we can only solve a small part of the problems in a short time.
You can't just take the initiative to help the people just because you mention it once. You must always remember to provide guidance to the people at any time. "
Zhu Biao brought the topic back and asked, "Tofu?" Are we letting you eat tofu with peace of mind?
You should really be thrown to Ningguo Mansion to see how their officials do things.
As soon as I have free time, I promise to run to the village below to see the situation, and then rush back to the Yamen.
Officials have realized that they must be diligent in the future. They cannot wait for the people to have trouble before taking care of it. They must find out the situation in advance and see if there are any ways to make the people make more money.
"In order to help the local people, His Royal Highness actually collected dried vegetables to make wolf meat pot. I learned from it." Tongzhi took a sip of wine and praised.
“Fresh green vegetables are not suitable for making wolf meat pot, only dried vegetables are best, especially dried cabbage.
Helping people must also be based on reality. You can find a small area as a pilot, and you cannot throw everything out at once.
Whether your shoes are big or small, you know best when you put them on. Come and serve you fresh vegetables. "
Zhu Biao continued to find excuses to beat the officials. No matter what the officials said, he would eventually redirect them to what he wanted to say.
No more today, thank you! Vote!
