Time flies, three days pass, and the team arrives at the Yellow River.
Several fields of the Yellow River began to freeze, first from the shore, then gradually the ice inside the river appeared, and finally it froze together.
The water under the ice was flowing slowly, and when it reached the lower reaches, as more and more places were frozen, the water became blocked.
At that time, the lower reaches of the Yellow River had to rely on tributaries from other places to replenish water, but they were also frozen and the Luoshui River could not break through the ice.
If the tributaries replenish little water, the river bed will be exposed, and you can walk from one side of the river to the other, stepping on the ice where there is a little water in the middle.
The Yellow River in the Ming Dynasty was still very icy in winter, and there were no reservoirs in the upper reaches, let alone houses.
There is no large piece of ice on the river in front of me, and boats are transporting it back and forth.
After crossing the other side, Zhu Biao looked back at the subsequent teams crossing the river: "On the way back, we didn't take the same route as we came here. We passed through Peking. It's a good time to see the local situation, the former capital of the Yuan Dynasty."
Knowing that he was talking to himself, the head of the village responded: "I'm celebrating the Chinese New Year in Helin. After that, the weather will get warmer, the grass will grow, and you can take a ride.
After arriving in Peiping, we went down the canal and used boats on the river to help bring some things.
Bei Yuan ran very fast and could only carry some of the gold, silver and jewelry, and had to leave more, including silks and silks.
In addition, if we go there, we can’t come back empty-handed. We will pick up and collect some good things on the way. "
"What good stuff is there? We agreed to buy stuff and sell it elsewhere to make money along the way, but we ended up building stuff all the time."
Zhu Fang remembered what he had said when he set out just after crossing the Yangtze River. He had a good idea, but he ended up using all the things he collected from the local area. Oh! Give it to others.
People are living a miserable life, so why do you have the nerve to sell things to them at a higher price?
"It's because Your Highness loves the people. Otherwise, it would be fine if we sold it normally." The mayor suppressed a smile.
Zhu Biao smiled beside him: "We have provided a lot of help to the people along the way. Starting from Jiangpu, we must teach the people many methods wherever we go.
We have produced Ru porcelain in Chuzhou, Fengyang, Huaiyuan, Baofeng, Luoyang, and my second brother's Xi'an Prefecture.
Wherever we go, even if there is a small village nearby, as long as you come to visit us, the village chief will give you a good idea.
As their lives become better and richer, the surrounding villages will notice and follow suit.
Especially Zhaojia Village in Baofeng. They were the former Xiaqiu Village and they wanted to take the initiative to lead other villages to get rich. "
The more Zhu Biao talked, the happier he became. He taught every step of the way. It didn't matter what kind of life he had in the past, the headmaster would always be able to give corresponding good solutions.
In the previous dynasties, when other princes went on patrol, they disturbed the people, and the local people had to be responsible for the food and drink of the team.
One by one, the princes are just passing by, where are the people's livelihood matters?
When he went on patrol, all the local people on the route benefited from it.
The people who truly leave their names in history will remember and recite them.
"That's true!" Zhu Xi admitted, not to mention other things, anyway, his Xi'an Prefecture has good iron ore and coal mines, and he can sell vegetables in greenhouses to earn money from wealthy people.
The money earned will be used to build roads, river embankments, etc., and then open Huimin Pharmacy.
The wealthy households did not pay any compensation. They ate fresh winter vegetables and walked on the roads built.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xi looked at the commander and said, "There are still ministers who want to follow, especially the teachings of the main hall, huh! If they come, you have to take care of them."
Li Chang: "..."
What do you see me doing? I have never been to the main hall.
"We look at you because you are so powerful. I think it's not an exaggeration to think you could be the prime minister." Zhu Ping seemed to be able to read minds and knew what the chief was thinking.
"We are not the prime minister, we are the village chief of Dangqiu Village." The village chief was happy, yes, he was praising me!
"Come on, come on, everyone is here, let's go." The little girl ran over to say hello.
“The most terrifying thing here is spring, there is ice in front, and the water from upstream flows down, blocking here and overflowing.
Fortunately, there are few people there, and they are all nomads. Basically no one wants to settle down. It is unbearable to be washed away every two or three years. "
The young general told the prince and King Qin what he had learned. A local told him when he came over.
The head of the village then said: "It's just a problem of Lingxun and wandering. If there is no one living there, don't worry about it. If there are people living there, we will blow it up with explosives.
Explosives need to be drilled into the ice and placed under the ice surface. One hole is placed at a certain distance and detonated at the same time.
When they exploded together, shock waves appeared on the water surface and underwater at the same time, shattering the flowing ice and flowing down the water. "
Young general: "..."
Zhu Xiang tilted his head: "Li Zhang, do you understand this?"
"Your Highness, King Qin, I don't understand. I'm from Jiangnan. How could I know about the floods in several fields of the Yellow River?"
Li Chang spreads his hands. When he learned it, he thought it was magical. The river could flood due to freezing.
When he heard someone mention it, he told others what he had learned.
"Yes, it's not you. We always forget and leave." Zhu Xi greeted him.
Leaving the Yellow River, there was an easy road with grass. The team cut and bundled the grass as they walked, and it was time to feed the horses and camels.
Therefore, the traveling speed is slow, and the horses and camels also take the opportunity to eat hard, especially the camels.
The team was responsible for providing them with salt. When they saw people cutting grass, they knew it was for them to eat. Before, they had piled grass on the rack on their backs, and then took it out to feed themselves.
There are horses that used to travel in the desert. When they saw the situation, they ate quickly and made themselves fat.
Not to mention camels, how come they find this road so familiar? There is nothing to eat or drink further on.
The army dispersed, leaving only two thousand people behind. The rest went hunting, taking advantage of the high grass to catch rabbits, wolves, roe deer and other prey.
On October 28, the team set up camp in a transition area. As they moved forward, there was gradually less grass and more stones and gravel. There was still grass behind, but it was not that high.
The team rode on horseback to start the last round of hunting, expanding the scope, the logistics people took stock of things, and some people were drinking medicine.
Everyone knows that this is the most difficult section of the road. No one will send supplies from behind. There are Gobi, desert, desert and oases ahead.
Oasis may not always exist. A sandstorm may pass and the oasis disappears.
A batch of boxes suddenly opened in Xiaqiu Village, a whole cart full of boxes. After entering the desert, some of the cars in Xiaqiu Village were pulled by four horses, and some were dragged by eight horses.
This car is pulled by four horses, and horses are usually changed once an hour to ensure speed.
"What's the problem? What's wrong?" Seeing Xiaqiu Village opening the box, Zhu Xi didn't feel happy at all.
Although he always wanted to know what was in the box, he knew that opening the box would prove that there was a special situation.
"Come here and help some craftsmen, assemble it and distribute it to everyone. It's okay. Don't worry. It will take a long time to walk in the desert this time."
The little girl called the craftsmen to come over and work, and there were good things.
