On July 24, two people from the Prince's Palace and two from Prince Qin's Palace, as well as fifty people who had studied in Xiaqiu Village, were left behind.
At the same time, there was a large amount of soap and soap left behind, and the collected medicinal materials would be picked up by people coming from Yingtian Mansion later.
The furs and newly skinned furs from the homes of ordinary people and hunters would be sent to Luoyang by water together.
The people of Fengyang County stood on the roadside to see him off, but they didn't cry, they just shouted "Have a safe journey" and other words.
The children waved popcorn sticks in their hands to say goodbye. This time they were lucky! Each person received twenty sticks.
Many of the goods in the team traveled by water, so more animals became more relaxed, and they could be replaced by other animals after traveling a certain distance.
From Fengyang County to Baofeng County, the straight-line distance is 800 miles. The team will walk along the river to easily obtain water.
In less than two hours, the team arrived at Cao Lake, later known as Longzi Lake.
Rice is planted near the lake, but not much, mainly because of the mountains.
At present, there are no large residential areas in this area, and there has never been a separate county.
In fact, it is the urban area of Bengbu City, and it was named only during the Republic of China.
Because someone came here to set up a county administrative center before, it gradually became prosperous.
At present, there is only Huaiyuan County. There is an extra mountain between Huaiyuan County and here, called Tushan.
The location of Huaiyuan is bounded by two mountains, the other one being Jingshan Mountain.
At the same time, it is an important waterway where many rivers converge and flow, so the Huaiyuan Army was created.
The strategic center is different from strategic thinking. After taking into account the influence of various factors, Huaiyuan's strategic position must be guaranteed.
It lacked a strategic depth and a base that could provide supplies, so Bengbu Town was created.
Then due to military needs, it became the Bengbu Three County Division. Later, the military threat was lifted and it became Bengbu Town.
As a result, with the development, Bengbu Town's economic status increased and it became an urban area, Huaiyuan became less important, and the domestic situation changed.
At present, the population here is small, surrounded by hills and more plains, plus lakes and rivers.
"Oh my God! Such a good place was wasted." Zhu Xi spoke up first without any introduction from the village manager.
Zhu Biao nodded: “There should indeed be more people living there, and it is suitable for planting, livestock and poultry breeding.
There are a few mountains that are in the way. Just use explosives to blow them up. Make a note of them first, then continue moving forward and see what happens.
Once Zhongdu is built, houses built locally can be sold for a lot of money, and the Huaihe River is right next to it. "
Li Chang: "..."
He had already thought about how to say it, and it turned out that the two brothers understood it all.
"House, rent, eh! Hey hey hey..." Zhu Wentian didn't want to be hey, but he couldn't help laughing when he saw the tangled expression of the director, so he had no choice but to do so.
"Hanhan is right, you need to rent. Renting is more profitable than selling, and it lasts a long time.
Once the number of ships of the Ming Navy increased, they would enter Hongze Lake, then the Yellow River and then the Grand Canal.
The Grand Canal can connect to the Yangtze River, and ships can transport large quantities of goods without occupying livestock resources.
It is indeed a good place. Even if it is only developed into a service industry in the future, it will drive the local economy. "
Zhu Biao felt that what Hanhan said made sense, as it was similar to the passing economy of lakes such as Shijiu Lake.
He is not ordinary now, he knows many things!
He saw that Xiaqiu Village was starting to make money and had a passing economy. If he asked the village chief, he would learn a lot of knowledge right away.
Those who go from Juxi to Shijiu Lake may go to Yingtianfu, then take the Rouge River to Qinhuai River.
If you want to go to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, you must take Danyang Lake and enter the Huangchi River. Xiaqiu Village is next to the Huangchi River.
There is a dock where you can dock, eat and shop, and even the specialties brought from the south are profitable.
If the upper reaches of the Yangtze River go to the south through Shijiu Lake, you have to take the Huangchi River.
In this way, the people of Shijiu Lake will become rich! They provide meals, help with loading and unloading, and a house to stay.
In the future, if there is more money there, it will shift from a transit economy to an industrial economy.
If Xiaqiu Village had not gone outside Chaoyang Gate, it would have completed its industrial economy long ago.
Comparing the current place, yes, wow! It is indeed right to come out and take a look.
Look at the people standing on both sides of the road kneeling down to greet him. They have patches on their clothes and look good on their faces.
If the masters of Xiaqiu Village came here instead of Xiaqiu Village, I believe the people here would wear the same gorgeous clothes as the people from Xiaqiu Village around them.
"Get everyone up quickly." Zhu Ping ordered people.
He turned to his brother and said, "Brother, how the people are doing depends on the officials. After Xuancheng County is stabilized, they should be sent to various places.
Even civil servants who do not hold official positions can lead the people to live a good life if they are placed in their current place.
They learned so much from Xiaqiu Village in the county, and even found their own reasons to do business and make money. Hey Hey……"
Zhu Xi laughed as he spoke, "Xuancheng County raises bamboo rats, livestock and poultry outside the city, helping the people while subsidizing their own families."
If officials are neither greedy nor occupying, the people's lives will be better, and so will their own lives.
We never worry about money when we hold country drinking ceremonies, poetry gatherings, etc. There is no need for the squire to contribute money.
The people on both sides of the road stood up, and people from the Prince's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion began to distribute things.
A piece of soap for each person, a popcorn stick for the child, and a kitchen knife for each household.
The team did not stop, but went directly to Huaiyuan, where they had to walk on a mountain road. They had lunch on the mountain and arrived in Huaiyuan to rest in the evening.
The people held their things and watched the procession of the Crown Prince and King Qin go away. After looking at each other in disbelief, they all smiled.
"Brother, I haven't said a word of comfort." Zhu Xi thought of something.
"Giving something is the best comfort. No matter how nice it sounds, it's not as good as the actual benefits."
Zhu Biao didn't want to talk, so he passed by and gave something to the people. The people would naturally know if it was good or not.
"We finally discovered it. The steam engine is great. We can give the children popcorn sticks all the way to save sugar!"
Zhu Xi smiled as he spoke. He had originally prepared candies to give to the children, but now he had rice popsicles, so he simply gave them to him.
The sugar brought is mainly rock sugar, which is easy to store and difficult to reproduce after giving it away, even if the people from Xiaqiu Village are there.
Popcorn sticks are different. You put some grain in them and they come out. The grain can be bought from the people, or you can buy it from grain sellers in the county.
How much does a small piece of rock sugar cost? How much does a pound of grain cost? What size of popcorn pops can be made from one pound of grain?
No matter how you calculate it, I think the latter is a good deal. Children are still willing to eat it, and even older people can eat it.
"This is the power of technology. The rice popsicles made by ordinary people, steamed and fried, are not as good as those made by steam engines."
Zhu Biao said, picking up two popcorn sticks, one for his younger brother, and the two of them chewed them.
Before noon, the army had cleaned up the possible problem areas on the mountain, and everyone went to the place to start cooking.
Others eat wild vegetables stewed with bacon. In Xiaqiu Village, they use pheasants to make braised chicken nuggets, then stir-fry eggplant sticks with pickled eggplants from other people’s vegetable fields, and add a bowl of lard and wild vegetable soup.
Anyway, whoever can't eat well, Zhu Biao and Zhu Chong have to eat well, and Xiaqiu Village comes here to take care of them.
