He took out the map and unfolded it. Zhu Biao and Zhu Chong looked at it together.
Sure enough, this location is the closest point to the two rivers. No matter whether it is south or north, this location is the most suitable for a market.
It is up to the people to choose which location is good or not, and they have figured out the answer over the years.
Longkang Town is seventy-five miles away from the county seat of Huaiyuan County. After the prince's team transported a large amount of things by ship, the number of livestock increased, and it was a semi-light advance.
They had been walking for half a day. How could other people, especially those from Xifeishui, go downstream to Huaiyuan County and then return to Huaiyuan County to trade?
It's faster to go downstream, but what about coming back? Rowing slowly? Including the turning distance, it is more than eighty miles!
The people were not stupid, they just happened to find this place, so they couldn't even think of a market.
Zhu Biao looked at the commander: "If you are marching and fighting, how much trouble will the general save if the commander is there?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ridiculously complimentary. This is nothing. Someone can deduce the current approximate conditions of mountains, rivers and rivers there from the topography and rivers described in the geographical chronicles of each place.
For example, a mountain in the Tang Dynasty during the Taizong period was six hundred feet high, with a river passing through it in the north and a river two hundred and twenty feet wide.
By the time of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, the mountain was 610 feet high, and the river in the north turned and was 200 feet wide.
Next to Yuan Mingzong, there is the same mountain, 620 feet high, with a river in the north and a concave river in the south, and the river is 260 feet wide.
In the geographical annals of the past dynasties, the same mountain and the same river are described in different ways. They are changing.
Through changes, you can guess the general situation even if you don't see it with your own eyes. "
The manager is talking about Hanhan, Hanhan has this ability.
In fact, what he didn't know was that Hanhan not only knew what happened before, but also what happened behind.
As for why he didn't draw it... it would exhaust him to death. He could only recall the local conditions after encountering a certain place.
The most tragic thing is that the geographical geography of the key times was lost due to the damage of the war.
Any dynasty that is somewhat civilized will strive to preserve the books inherited from the previous dynasty, especially geography.
When Zhu Wentian was writing, some people said that the Yuan Dynasty was barbaric, and some said that the Qing Dynasty was barbaric. But no matter what, they also tried hard to preserve geography and write chronological history at the same time.
True barbarism is to destroy the legacy of a civilization and kill all the people who can speak the language and know the words of that civilization.
The civilization of the Maya was broken, the civilization of Tianzhu was broken, and the Nile...
"Use geography to calculate?" Zhu Biao didn't know what history would look like at the end. He was numb and scared at the moment.
He knew who the person in charge was talking about and needed to memorize the geographical annals and history of the past dynasties to look for patterns.
This... Wei Su is not good, and Zeng Lu is not good either. The two of them are already powerful enough.
"I guess I have a better memory!" Li looked indifferent.
"What the chief said is true, I have a better memory." Zhu Biao chose to nod in agreement, okay, there's nothing wrong with it.
The team moved forward for a while, and his position reached the market.
This is a town, but there are no places to grow rice or other crops, only vegetables.
"Huh? Chief!" Zhu Biao turned around when he saw the situation.
“The terrain is originally low, and it is between two rivers, so it is always washed away.
Just like around Shijiu Lake before, no one is willing to grow food.
Your Highness saw that they were growing grass, which could be used to feed livestock, and soybeans were grown in high areas.
If God favors this soybean, they can harvest the beans. If God does not reward them and it rains heavily, they will cut the bean stalks to feed the livestock.
As for cucumbers, eggplants, lettuce, cowpeas and other vegetables, just drink them! "
The village chief could tell with just a glance what the local people thought, and the people on the other side of Shijiu Lake made the same choice.
People plant soybeans after harvesting wheat, but refuse to plant rice for fear of rising water.
Soybeans have a special characteristic! If you cut it in advance, it can be used as livestock feed, and it is also good feed!
After the rice is planted, what should be fed if it is cut in advance when the water rises?
Soybeans are dry fields, so you can cut them when you tell them to. Rice is paddy fields, one foot deep and one foot shallow. You have to wade through water and step on mud to cut them?
If the soybeans are harvested in advance, at least one edamame can be eaten. The rice pulp is not full yet. After harvesting and drying in the sun, can rice as big as sesame seeds be produced by threshing it?
Soybean seedlings are called bean pods and can be eaten by livestock. Rice seedlings are called straw and livestock can also eat them. They just lose fat after eating them.
Zhu Biaoshen agreed: "It seems that the people have already thought of a way out. This place is a market, and the best things to grow can feed livestock."
He looked again and saw more clearly that the market could only have a simple shed with thatch covering it to prevent rain.
Others are stalls, with a straw curtain on the ground, and some don't even have straw mats, just put them directly.
The people setting up the stalls knew that the prince and King Qin were coming, but they were told in advance that they did not need to kneel and could do whatever they wanted, so they all watched the prince strolling around curiously.
Someone was handing out soap and popcorn bars to the people nearby. Zhu Wentian was the most nervous, but his muscles were in a semi-relaxed state.
He was not intending to kill, but was ready to hold Zhu Biao and Zhu Ming to the ground at any time.
The range of his flying sticks is limited. If others use bows and crossbows from a long distance, he can't hit them.
The children in Xiaqiu Village were surrounded by Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi, each holding a small revolving pistol.
Zhu Biao didn't even recognize that little gun. It was just a small thing with rifling in the barrel.
The most interesting thing is that the children in Xiaqiu Village wear sunglasses on their eyes. They can see other people's eyes, but others cannot see their eyes.
"Li Chang, are these myopia glasses or flower glasses?"
Zhu Cang was confused. Everyone was fine before. Why did he feel far away from his good friends in Xiaqiu Village when he put on this mirror?
"Your Highness, none of them. Don't think too much. This is just to prevent others from knowing where your eyes are looking, making it easier to protect people."
The director understood Zhu Xi's mood. He felt uncomfortable when he couldn't see other people's eyes.
Normally, looking into other people's eyes when speaking is a sign of respect, and looking into the speaker's eyes is also a sign of respect.
When one party covers their eyes, the other party becomes awkward.
"Oh, okay, give me one and I'll try it too." Zhu Xi became happy again.
"Sister, how do you sell these cucumbers? They have thorns on top and look fresh."
Zhu Biao squatted in front of a stall selling cucumbers, eggplants and cowpeas and asked the price.
"Your Highness, take it, take it all." The other party was actually in his forties, and his face was pale.
Zhu Biao: "..."
Are we the ones taking food from the common people? Let's just ask.
The scene was at a stalemate for an instant, and the officials were stunned.
"Buy, money, here, um! Hey hey hey hey!" At the critical moment, Hanhan took out a handful of copper coins and threw them to the opponent.
"It's too much. Why did you give me so much money? I sold it all in piles, and it only cost twenty yuan in total."
The vegetable seller saw the copper coins and said as he picked them up, he was afraid that any copper coins he didn't see would be missed.
Zhu Biao suddenly turned to look at Hanhan, and saw that Hanhan had already squatted down, picked up a cucumber and rubbed it with his hands, then took a bite: "Yeah! It's delicious!"
