Zhang Luming never expected that the identities of those boys and girls were like this, and some were even younger!
When other children of the same age are farming or looking for work, some people are no longer the same.
While other government scholars in their twenties were still annoyed that the imperial examination had been stopped, someone had already made a decision.
Xiaqiu Village is the Prince's Village, and the children in Xiaqiu Village are the Prince's staff.
The impact of this information on him was too great. How many scholars could not see the way forward? Children in other villages did not need to think about it.
"Your Highness, can they really do it?" Zhang Luming asked boldly.
"Take it for a look first, and then eat. I will order someone to copy it, and the original text must be sent back. Alas! One person's handwriting is missing."
Zhu Biao pushed the pamphlets to the front and let Zhang Luming read them by himself.
He regretted that he wanted to see a familiar handwriting, but there was none.
Little did he know that Zhu Wentian didn't write on purpose, but it was no problem if he did. He used to write in regular script and Xingkai script.
Zhu Wentian could change to other fonts, or even write with his left hand, but that would always be troublesome to produce twenty-four copies.
Zhang Luming confessed his crime, took a few volumes, opened them, and read only one volume. After a few glances, he became addicted to it.
"Zhang Lichang, Zhang Lichang, Zhang Luming!" Zhu Ping called twice and shouted.
"Ah? Who? Oh! Your Highness, King Qin, please forgive me. I think it's good, and my words are good."
Zhang Luming was startled, but then realized that he had delayed everyone's meal.
"Eat first and let someone copy it. Then I will give you a copy. You can use it to compare and see how to lead the local people to live a good life."
Zhu Fang understood the other party, but the most important thing right now was copying.
And instead of copying one copy, give Zhang Lichang a copy first, then copy another copy and send it back, immediately print it in large quantities, and then send it over.
It can be distributed to officials in various places on the way, and other state capitals will also distribute it later, along with the instructions for appointment.
If officials take these things and still fail to manage the place, they should really be killed.
Just let me teach you officials about something that can be done by a scholar, but you can’t do it? You are fighting against the imperial court!
Zhang Luming put the book back. He hadn't had enough yet!
Zhu Biao told people to wait for a while to finish eating and then hurry up. Just like last time, there was no rush to leave today.
Zhang Luming also drank the spicy soup. For the first time in his life, the spicy soup was not made of chili but pepper.
Pepper has always been expensive. Who can use it to make soup?
When can this soup be free of pepper and be popularized by the public? Otherwise, just dream!
The imperial court was sending people to Qiongzhou, Fujian, and Guangzhou to plant pepper, and the seedling cultivation method was provided by Xiaqiu Village.
Once the seeds are grown, a slightly wealthy family will be able to drink spicy soup, no, eat pepper.
As for Taiwan, which is also suitable for planting, it cannot be controlled now. There is only one Penghu Inspection Department. As the name suggests, it can only control the Penghu area.
It's impossible to go inside anymore. The local people won't accept it. The only channel of communication is trade, exchanging things with each other.
Pepper is definitely a good thing nowadays, at least that's what others think.
In fact, the pepper brought in the team is not expensive. A piece of soap can be exchanged for a pound of pepper. It’s so overbearing. Do you want to exchange it?
You don't want to change? good! Not only the soap will not be changed for you, but also all other items will not be changed for you. You can leave.
What? Do you still want to replenish fresh water? Do you want a bucket of fresh water and a pound of pepper?
oh! Are you willing to change? A bar of soap can be exchanged for a pound of pepper, right? Fresh water is free, just pretend.
Let me tell you, the bottle for you is filled with spring water and can be stored for a long time! Better than river water, you’re welcome! Come here often! goodbye!
This is how the pepper in the team comes, but when sold outside, the price is still high, because people will not die if they don't eat pepper, so it is not a necessity for survival.
It is usually placed in Huimin Pharmacy and used as medicinal materials to provide to the people, free of charge.
When Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi saw the spicy soup, they chose not to eat the staple food. They were full after eating this big bowl.
This is not what others eat. Everyone just eats porridge, fish and rice porridge, which is also very thick and can hold chopsticks upright, and then some pickles.
Zhang Luming almost cried after eating. It was so delicious. He ate quickly, added another half bowl and slowed down.
When the prince and King Qin put down the tableware one after another, he drank the rest in one gulp and burped.
"Zhang Lichang, copying will take some time, why not take a look at the construction of the market?" Zhu Biao invited.
How could Zhang Luming be qualified to refuse? Naturally, he agreed and wandered along.
Then he realized that something was wrong. There were few guards around him before, but now they had more than doubled.
Zhou Zong was not very happy standing next to the prince. The security team in Xiaqiu Village was sleeping, and the pressure increased.
The sergeants had supper and continued to renovate and repair the bazaar.
The common people no longer sell goods. They follow the craftsmen to find stones to transport here. They all understand that they are building a place for themselves and must contribute.
There was a mountain nearby. The craftsmen went over to drill holes, and then stuffed yellow gunpowder and fire thunder and mercury into them. After lighting them, there was a loud bang, and a large piece of stone fell down.
Everyone wait a moment, there is no more rockfall, go over and carry it over, and use animals to pull it to the market.
The people all said excitedly, His Royal Highness’s team is so awesome! Planing stones is different from others.
Some craftsmen led the people to transport the stones, while others processed the stones on site to pave the market floor.
The level of craftsmen who can follow the team is not low, and it is impossible to pretend to be skilled.
For example, if you need to cut off the branches of a tree branch, an ax is enough.
Every time a skilled person swings an ax to chop, a branch is guaranteed to be knocked off at the root, which makes it easy for others to see.
Let the spectators chop it once, and they will know that the strength, angle, and position cannot reach the level of others even if they chop it dozens of times.
The same is true for paving stones. If there is a missing stone in some places, the craftsman will take a look and use a hammer to chisel twice on the stone next to it. Once it is plugged, it will be just right.
Ordinary people, just chisel it away. Just a few strokes will take you half an hour to repair it.
Craftsmen without such skills would not be able to join the team.
Wang Yiqian's team is the most powerful. They have strong teamwork skills. With 500 people, they pave the road quickly and well, and there is no need to level the road later.
"Your Highness the Prince, Your Highness the King of Qin, the craftsmen in this group wear different clothes from others! They work so neatly."
Chief Zhang Luming noticed the situation and pointed to a section of stone road and the people building the road.
Zhu Biao remained silent, and Zhu Ping spoke: "That is the exclusive construction team of Xiaqiu Village. They do not need to consider their family's livelihood, they only focus on working and developing skills.
If their current salary of one hundred cents a day is not as good as others, how can they have the kindness to get it?
Looking at the people doing the work, the person walking around is called Wang Yiqian. His house construction skills are top-notch in the Ming Dynasty.
He only worked for Xiaqiu Village, with a team of 200 people that truly belonged to him, and the other 300 people who joined later. "
"I understand, Xiaqiu Village will give money, unless the amount given exceeds Xiaqiu Village." Zhang Luming said he understood.
"You don't understand, even if you give them more money than Xiaqiu Village, you can't take them away. It's not a matter of money." Zhu Xixin said that this village is so arrogant?
