"Hehehehehe..." Zhu Xi looked at the chief and chuckled, "If you don't let me collect the money, what do you tell me to do?"
Zhu Biao sat upright and was not busy drinking. He was willing to listen to other people's ideas, especially those he couldn't think of.
"Skewers, here, hot, um!" Zhu Wentian grilled another handful of small skewers and handed them over.
While serving skewers for others, he drank beer instead of liquor. He sat by the grill to get hot and sweated a lot, so drinking beer was most suitable.
This handful was chicken skewers. When some people went home to get something, they killed a chicken and brought it to the prince and the king of Qin.
Chickens cannot be given to the common people for nothing, they will definitely be reciprocated. Zhu Wentian chose the meat from the chicken breast and put it on and grilled it.
"Okay, thank you Hanhan!" Zhu Biao took it and looked at it.
The chief also went to get Chuan'er: "Your Highness, do you remember how to make money at the convenience store?"
He just said this, the convenience office has not made money by selling information until now, and has always provided supporting services.
"I know, I thought it would be so troublesome to switch to beer after drinking this cup of white wine!"
Zhu Xiang said with regret, he originally planned to listen to a high-level talk, but this is it?
He understood that the oil extraction area was free for the people to use, and snacks were sold around it.
You need to queue up to press oil. If you come in the morning, it would be nice to go back in the evening. Some even have to stay overnight.
You can't live and eat for free, you have to spend money and earn it yourself.
The two brothers finished half the cup of white wine, changed glasses to pour beer, clinked the glasses with Hanhan, and took a long sip.
The head of the village changed the wine and burped after drinking: "If we want to build an oil pressing workshop by the river, don't forget His Highness Shangzhou County on the other side, which is about sixty miles away from here.
We also need to build workshops by the river, one to utilize water power and the other to facilitate transportation. The river over there is called Danshui.
At present, the oil squeezed from walnuts in the mountains cannot be used up locally. At the same time, there are lacquer trees in the local area, which is good for extracting lacquer or seed oil.
The key is to sell it, you need to attract merchants to come over, or your highness can form a caravan yourself.
If department stores are used, department store channels can be spread over. Department stores will be spread all over Daming in the future.
If businessmen are attracted to come over, an inn must be built and supporting services must be provided. At the same time, the land route must be opened to Lantian County. "
This is what the village chief wants to say, not just providing services to the local people as Zhu Ping thinks.
"Chief, I respect you!" Zhu Xi smiled, thinking that he was wrong.
…
In the afternoon of that day, some people went to Shangzhou County to exchange things with the people without people coming over there. The people provided walnuts, hawthorns and dried plums in exchange for soap, alkali and salt.
The treatment is obviously not as good as Luonan County. I have no choice but to run over there. I need to climb over the mountain from here.
At noon the next day, the team that went to Shangzhou County came back. Everyone gathered and headed towards the mountain.
The people of Luonan waved their hands and sang folk songs to see them off. Some people shouted to His Highness the King of Qin to hurry up and take over the vassal state.
From yesterday to today, a good pier was built here, and two boats with small sails and oars were left.
Where the water is shallow, you can use a pole to hold the boat, when the water is deep, paddle, and when the wind is good, lift the sail.
The boats are left to the local county government, who are responsible for taking the people downstream to buy and sell things. They can't go more than a hundred miles and don't need road guidance.
"Do we have to live on the top of the mountain tonight? Look at the ground, it turns out someone is walking by here."
Zhu Xi walked up the stone steps that were built yesterday afternoon and this morning. He looked around and judged that someone had been here.
"There is a plank road next to it. This ridge completely isolates Chang'an from the outside world, but it cannot stop the corruption of the imperial court."
The leader held a simple map in his hand, which showed the Qinling Mountains. It was the Qinling Mountains that surrounded most of the area from Chang'an to the west, southwest, southeast, and east.
After crossing the Yellow River, it was still within its scope of influence, and it seemed that it was dangerous and defensible. In fact, when that day came, no dangerous road could prevent the demise of the dynasty.
"That's right, that's right. Let's repair the plank road later and blow up wherever we can. It won't work without a road.
Our fiefdom needs smooth logistics. Blast it along the mountainside to create a spacious road for us.
Then there is the problem of rockfalls and mudslides above, but there are more rocks and less mudslides here. "
Zhu Xi stopped to look at the simple map and talked about future plans.
He doesn't want to be trapped in Xi'an Mansion. He wants to respond to Tianfu frequently and visit other brothers' places.
Zhu Wentian couldn't hold back his laughter while listening. Zhu Ping hadn't become a vassal yet, so he thought he could wander around casually.
After waiting for the vassal to be granted, Lao Zhu would tell him that he was not allowed to leave the fiefdom. If he wanted to return to the capital, he had to apply, and all the princes could not go back together, they had to come one by one.
This has been the case historically, but it is probably no longer needed now.
All fiefs will have department stores. The department stores are not owned by Zhu Xi, but by Zhu Yuanzhang.
In daily business, he is also responsible for collecting intelligence. It is absolutely impossible for the feudal king to mobilize an army to enter the capital.
Bring back a small number of guards, no problem, come back! What can that little manpower do?
…
That night, everyone set up camp on the top of the mountain. As expected, there was nothing but rocks here, which was different from the lush greenery in other places.
There are some grasses, and arrow bamboo growing here, and the woods have been cleared of wild beasts, including snakes.
"If there are bamboo forests, it is suitable to raise bamboo rats. Let's let the people in Luonan raise bamboo rats and go up the mountain to cut bamboo. Bamboo is not afraid of being cut and grows quickly.
Bamboo rat meat is really fragrant. Bamboo rats can be raised very large and have a lot of oil and water. Their fur is perfect for making clothes here in winter.
Li Chang, is there bamboo in Shangzhou? Can I raise bamboo rats like Luonan?
When the time comes, we will build the road, and we can even sell furs to the north, or supply them to other places in Xi'an Prefecture where furs are scarce. "
Zhu Xi's first idea after seeing arrow bamboo was to raise bamboo rats, which eat meat and use skins. It is easy for ordinary people to raise bamboo rats and has high economic benefits.
He didn't even think about poetry about bamboo, he was preoccupied with local economic development and people's livelihood.
"Yes, and there is no need for mountains. There are bamboo forests at the foot of the mountains. People also catch bamboo rats to eat, but bamboo rats are difficult to catch.
However, the branches of arrow bamboo are thin and not suitable for making bamboo rafts, but they are suitable for use as poles for boat maneuvering and for building fences.
For example, chicken coops and duck coops are made of arrow bamboo, which is convenient and appropriate. "
The leader holds a piece of bamboo in his hand, one foot long, and demonstrates the posture of shooting an arrow. The bamboo pole of arrow bamboo is suitable for making arrow shafts.
"Nowadays, guns are used. The arrows have a short range and are at a disadvantage. Are there any bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest there?"
Zhu Xi looked at the growing ones and compared them, smiled, and wanted to eat bamboo shoots.
The director put down the bamboo pole: "No, the local climate is not suitable for the growth of winter bamboo shoots. They will only grow in spring. Moreover, the bamboo shoots of arrow bamboo have a good taste. They are thin and tender when eaten.
The village has a method of soaking bamboo shoots in salt, which can keep the bamboo shoots for a longer period of time and then transport them out to sell them for money.
In fact, if they want to make money, the village should release the method of planting bamboo fungus, so that people can learn to plant it in suitable places. "
