Tushan is not that big, and it is not steep. Everyone eats on the top of the mountain to avoid being suddenly attacked by someone.
As for the enemy encircling the mountain and cutting off the water, then one part of the enemy needs to enter the water to encircle it. Next to it is the Whirlpool River, which will merge into the Huaihe River after passing Tushan Mountain.
On the other side, there is a river formed by the convergence of Xifeishui and Luohe. The mountain itself is very rocky, but there is spring water on it.
On the top of the mountain, you are not afraid of encountering enemies, and even a hundred thousand enemies cannot be beaten down.
The craftsmen would chisel stones to help make the stones and build the walls with the stones, while the sergeants would just shoot.
“Standing on the mountain and looking down, the scenery is beautiful, with rivers converging and clouds lingering.
Is this the legendary place where Dayu controlled floods and married Tushan? He passed through the house three times without entering.
Later, he had a son, who couldn't see his father and cried all day long. "
Zhu Biao talked about the legendary things with a smile on his face, because he did not see his father when he was born.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince probably wouldn't have been like that when he was a child. His Majesty is away on war, and there is no shortage of care at home."
The head of the village has no moved thoughts about not entering the house three times. Don’t other people miss their families?
I heard from Hanhan that Dayu came here to control floods, married a local woman, and brought local people with him to control the floods.
It contains political significance. If you don't marry the Tushan family, you won't be able to impress the locals.
Zhu Yuanzhang also took wives everywhere. If the girl's family was powerful, he would marry the girl from that family.
Of course, Hanhan said this, and he did not dare to tell the prince and King Qin.
"It's a touching legend, but it's so boring to tell it to the headmaster. Alas!" Zhu Xi sighed beside him.
"Your Highness King Qin, God does not believe in tears, and the people should not believe in God, but should believe in His Majesty the Ming Dynasty and the court.
Touching things are left to the literati and the common people. His Highness only needs to lead the common people to live a good life.
There are more rivers around Xi'an. There will be drought when there is a drought, and floods will occur accidentally. "
The director continues to be boring. He has experienced too much suffering and cannot be moved.
"Eat first, what can this mountain be used for?" Zhu Biao shook his head.
"They are all stones. They can only be used as a place to play. There is a river around and houses are built on the mountains. When the people have money, they come and see the scenery."
The chief has no intention of developing Tushan, so he can't blow up all the rocks, right? I still expect the river to live on this mountain top!
After Tushan is blown up, there will be alluvial plains from here on out, with floods happening every year.
…
In the evening, the team passed Tushan, also crossed the river, and arrived at Huaiyuan.
Without entering the county town, camps have been arranged outside, and the teams that arrived in advance have prepared food for those who will follow.
They caught fish in a net, and there were many rivers in Huaiyuan, so there was no shortage of fish.
The people from Guanglu Temple ordered the fish to be stewed in a large iron pot, adding ginger slices, cooking wine, and soy sauce.
"Chief, let's drink tonight?" Zhu Biao walked outside the camp and talked to the chief who was following him.
"Okay!" The manager understood that it was natural to have food to go with the wine.
The children began to get busy, making sauced pheasant, smoked and grilled hare meat, braised small fish, and then took the meatier pheasant skeleton and pressed it on the iron plate.
In addition, I made hand-rolled noodles, and at the end of the meal I had a bowl of Yangchun noodles.
At the same time, while the local soybeans have not yet turned yellow, I went to pick edamame and boiled them in salt water.
The local people were very happy that the prince and King Qin's troops had harmed their own vegetable fields, because they could get money that was at least twice as much as what they would have earned from selling it themselves.
Others eat first, rest after eating, and work when they are working.
Zhu Biao was not in a hurry. He turned around and went back to the tent to sit down: "Let's take a closer look. There are many stones. Those that can burn cement, less glass, and those that can burn lime."
Zhu Biao was purposeful and wanted to see what Huaiyuan could do to point out a way for the local people.
Li Chang washed his hands and said: “There are also many low-lying areas. During the rainy season, rivers swell and it is difficult to drain water into low-lying areas.
It is also impossible to use stones to pad the low-lying areas. Too many stones are needed.
We can only focus on building river embankments and adding more dams.
At the same time, crops cannot be grown there. It is best to grow aquatic plants, especially medicinal plants. "
He finally had a chance to show off, but the prince didn't know that his knowledge was not comprehensive enough.
Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's right. It's a pity that there are a lot of stones elsewhere, and it's difficult to exchange local stones for money."
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much. As long as there are many naval ships or private ships, there will always be a need for stones after they are mined.
Blast it with explosives, then transport it to the river on rails, and ship it to other places. It is a good material for building roads and building houses.
After Fengyang built the Central Capital, it was not enough to rely only on local stones, so it was made up for it from here. "
The chief reassured Zhu Biao that the value of a stone depends on its use and other people's approval.
He introduced things like millstones, rollers, rollers, etc. Not all places can find good stones.
People cannot live without such stones, so in some places they will spend a high price to transport a few stones from outside to chisel them.
Civilian unorganized transportation is usually done by people who go out to the village and carry the stones back to the village after seeing them outside.
There is no need to pay for this. What is the stone worth? What is really consumed is the labor involved in moving the stone.
Then count the places that are short of stone tools. This place is responsible for digging stones, transporting stones there and selling them for money. Others are willing to buy them because they save man-hours.
“Yes, yes, many villages don’t have them, and they also lack professional transport tools.
A large mill is not light, so they sent dozens of people to go overland or take a boat to find it in a rocky place.
After finding it, tie it up with a rope, and work together to transport it out, so that it can be used after it is transported back.
When they do this kind of thing, they can't do other work, and they have to eat and drink.
We have special tools to transport them in places like Huaiyuan, and we can even cut out and grind utensils according to other people's requirements.
We transport it there in an organized manner, and people only need to pay to buy it.
What we earn is actually the difference in costs such as transportation, technology, and organization. "
Zhu Biao became happy again, he felt it! In iron ore, organized and unorganized are different, not to mention technology.
Coupled with blast furnace iron smelting and open-hearth steelmaking, the steel output was dozens of times that of the entire Ming Dynasty.
After some more improvements, it will become hundreds of times larger, but the number of people working will remain the same.
When making money, give miners more money and provide them with better food. They will earn more, eat well, and work harder. The key is that they can sell it.
Zhu Pingyu said from the side: "Clustering and large-scale, this is what we at Jubiqi do.
The pickles we produce are good and cheap, but the prices are often raised intentionally.
It’s not that I want to make more money, but that I’m afraid of destroying other people’s stores.
We are also the King of Qin, otherwise we will not hold back if we start a business war with others. "
"Second brother, are you saying that when you are not the King of Qin, you dare to use the same method to make others miserable? People in Xiaqiu Village were very nervous when they first started selling rock candy!"
Zhu Biao reminded his brother, you don’t have this identity, how dare you hit the market?
