The wealthy households calmed down and realized that they were indeed two different things. To rent a mountain, you had to negotiate with the Henan Prefecture, while for weaving, you had to negotiate with the Prince and the King of Qin.
"It's almost time. I apologize for delaying the banquet given by His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Qin."
While everyone was waiting for the chief to tell him how to cooperate, the chief apologized to the prince and the King of Qin.
A group of people: "..."
"I forgive you, let's have a banquet!" Zhu Biao waved his hand, looking magnanimous.
"I also forgive your innocence, okay!" Zhu Ping waved his hand.
"Thank you very much, Your Highnesses!" The mayor bowed with tears of gratitude.
Everyone: "..."
Others came over to let the wealthy people wash their hands, clean their faces, and prepare to eat.
Eat barbecue and drink beer. Many people have never drank beer, and they have never seen this kind of barbecue where the meat is cut down from a big skewer.
Zhu Biao sat in the chief seat, Zhu Peng sat on the right side of his elder brother, the chief sat a little in front of Zhu Biao's left, and Hanhan sat in the middle in front of Zhu Biao and Zhu Ping.
Then came the people from Xiaqiu Village, the magistrate Yu Yongzhong, who sat on Zhu Ping's lower right hand.
Other officials, including Tongzhi, were in front of the Xiaqiu villagers.
When the rich people saw it, they felt it was awkward. The village guard of Xiaqiu Village was sitting in a position...
But the two guards were happy that they could worry less with Hanhan standing in the most critical place.
No matter what others think, the position is fixed and the singing and dancing takes place.
Some rich men stared at the beautiful women, and some chatted with the people next to them.
Large meat skewers were brought over and cut into pieces. Everyone else wanted to eat them, but when they came to the place where people from Xiaqiu Village came, they all refused.
The same was true for Zhu Biao and Zhu Chong. Magistrate Yu began to sweat and thought a lot, why didn't they eat this meat? Could it be...
While he was distracted, the person who delivered the meat left without giving it to him.
After a while, someone came over carrying small fried meat skewers threaded with thin wire. People from Xiaqiu Village wanted them.
When Magistrate Yu placed a handful of skewers in front of him, Zhu Biao said instead: "Prefect Yu, if you eat too much grilled meat, you won't like to eat it. Fried meat skewers only taste good if they are rubbed with seasoning."
When I was in Yingtianfu, I always ate like this in Xiaqiu Village. I couldn’t eat the big fish and meat. Later, they also had fried stuffed skewers, which was not bad. "
"Thank you for your advice, Your Highness." Magistrate Yu finally felt relieved, it would be fine if he didn't poison me.
He dipped it in the sauce and took a skewer, and found that it was indeed different from large pieces of meat and was most suitable for drinking.
He held the thin wire and looked at it: "Your Highness, do you want to throw this away later?"
"Don't throw away the wire. The reason why we don't use thin bamboo is that the bamboo is not handled well and leaves burrs, which can pierce the tongue and mouth and cause pain for several days.
Thin iron wire is drawn out and used as binding wire. It is thin and strong and can be used to tie many things, such as the mouth of sacks.
Normally tied with hemp rope, it will fall off easily, but wrapped with thin wire binding wire, it will be solid. "
Zhu Biao told Yu Yongzhong that wire is a tool, not specially used to thread strings.
Yu Yongzhong bent the iron wire and found that it could indeed be used as a rope, and it was more convenient than a rope in special circumstances.
For example, there is only a small gap for tying the rope, and the rope is too soft to pass through. The wire can go through it in one go, and there is no need to use anything else to help.
Moreover, if the rope is thick, it will not stretch deeply, and if it is thin, it will break easily, while the iron wire is strong but thin.
Others didn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince was a picky eater. They enjoyed eating meat, but they didn't dare to eat too much too quickly.
Someone told them that they would have to eat until evening, and that they would be packed back to eat. Now that they had eaten too much and could not drink, it would be a disgrace to vomit.
I heard that it can be packaged, so it’s okay to eat a small amount. Take it back and give it to your family to try. This is a banquet given by the prince and King Qin.
"Prefect Yu, I think there will be people leasing all the hills in Henan Prefecture that are suitable for growing cotton under the forest.
Cotton is drought tolerant, but it still needs water. You must not rent out areas that are short of water to others to grow cotton.
There are two situations in barren mountains. One is that there is bound to be a lack of water, and the other is that there are mines.
Prospectors can be sent to explore for minerals such as limestone, gypsum, feldspar, iron, copper, gold, silver, etc.
For barren mountains that are short of water, it depends on whether there is a river nearby. If there is, a stepped and graded method of transporting and storing water can be used to lift water up.
There is no need to carry a load up. If you have tools, I will give you a physical object and a diagram, and you can follow it.
Luoyang, Henan Prefecture, was the capital of thirteen dynasties, and the Ming Dynasty was a top priority. My father asked Magistrate Yu to take charge, hoping that Magistrate Yu would reassure my father. "
Zhu Biao is very worried about the situation where the planning is good but the execution is poor.
Yu Yongzhong became serious and solemnly clasped his fists at Zhu Biao: "Prince, don't worry, with Yu here, nothing will happen to Henan Mansion."
"Okay! I salute you." Zhu Biao held the cup.
Yu Yongzhong also picked up the cup, raised his head and poured it in with a firm gaze.
He has already felt that His Royal Highness has learned a lot and feels that he knows everything, not to mention farming and raising livestock.
The key is to say that others have not thought of methods, which can be said to be taught by the experts in Xiaqiu Village. Doesn't that mean that His Royal Highness is eager to learn, and can he learn well?
In all the dynasties, which prince has understood this?
When it comes to marching and fighting, His Majesty is the most powerful. I hope the prince can get the true message.
Thinking about it, Yu Yongzhong took a long look.
Sensing the gaze, the chief turned his head and said, "What do you have to say, Prefect Yu?"
"I don't dare! I just want to ask Zhu Lichangyu how to partner with others."
How could Yu Yongzhong dare to underestimate the head of Xiaqiu Village? It was too easy to make a fortune with the good things he brought out.
The most admirable thing is that Xiaqiu Village does not want to make a fortune from this, but is willing to bring everyone together to do it.
"Pay a deposit, Xiaqiu Village will provide equipment, they will provide money and manpower, and the profits earned will be divided into 10% and 10% each by His Royal Highness.
No counterfeiting is allowed within one year, otherwise the deposit will be confiscated at any time and you will be arrested.
After a year, whatever you want, if you have the ability to imitate it, just copy it yourself and do it yourself. If you don’t have the ability, continue the partnership. "
The head of the village gave the conditions, and the rich households took out the money first to see how many sets they would use, and the deposit was calculated based on the number of sets.
"How come each one accounts for 10%? The two sides add up to 20%! What about the other 80%?" Yu Yongzhong asked naturally.
Zhu Chong said: "Prefect Yu, you probably don't know about our joint venture with Xiaqiu Village. 10% is for us, 10% for Xiaqiu Village, and 80% goes to my father."
"I understand." Magistrate Yu realized again that Xiaqiu Village had been making money for the palace, and the palace used the money to do things.
"It's just a 10% profit, will they agree?" Yu Yongzhong looked at the prince.
Zhu Biao nodded: "Today, the hand-operated spinning machine only has twenty spindles. It can be increased to forty spindles, sixty spindles, or even use water power to make a bigger one. Then several people watched the broken thread and the Change the ingot.
The maximum number of ingots each person can watch is the maximum limit for one person. Sixty ingots is twenty times the normal three-ingot machine.
Not to mention the subsequent hydraulic loom, it can last for twelve hours without stopping. Is our Luoshui River flowing continuously? "
"Yes! Such a 10% profit is much more than the original one. Next year we need to grow more cotton, or buy cotton from other places."
Yu Yongzhong silently calculated and found that the 10% profit was several times more than before.
that's all, thanks!
