Chapter 664: The Great Project
Chapter 664: The Great Project
Inside and outside the city, the project continues.
In the east of the city, down the Bianhe River, a warehouse was built, where the newly built grain trading market was built.
Xiao Su Taibao said that all ships were concentrated in Bianjing, which caused congestion in the Bianhe River, and moved the market out and built additional wharves, which could save transportation costs and increase the throughput of Bianjing.
To the west of the city, close to Zhengzhou, there is a mule and horse market, a hardware market.
The mule and horse market is too lively, and the transaction volume is said to be sky-high every day, and the market is gone, only the transaction tax is left, and the business is booming.
The citizens of Kaifeng went back there to see the good horses, good cattle and good camels from Shaanxi.
I heard that a Cantonese merchant transported his camel to the south, encircled it and collected ten wen for one person, put it in to watch the performance, and gave fifty wen to ride around and make a fortune.
Shaanxi wolf crossing horse is really beautiful, shoulders high, dazzling hair color in the sun, it is said that a thousand days and eight hundred nights, the gods, that is not a day can run from Bianjing to Luoyang? !
However, this kind of horse can only look at the eye-catching, all of them are bought by the nobles to participate in the betting horse race, a horse is more than 1,000 or 2,000, and it can sell a small yard in Bianjing, where can the average person give it?
The people of Bianjing don't know much about agricultural tools, but they have heard from relatives in the countryside that they are very useful, such as the sickle with thin iron teeth, which is much more convenient than before.
Matched with it, there is also a small sharp file, which is this kind of sickle to take care of, and it takes more effort than usual.
There is also a seed market next to the agricultural market, and the reason why seeds are seeds is that they are larger than usual and full.
It is said that Xiao Su Taibao cast a spell and selected it from ordinary seeds, if there is no spell, just take the dustpan and shake, how can you make so many?
It is not expensive, only one percent higher than the price of ordinary grain, and it can be exchanged for one's own grain.
There are also shelling machines, flour grinding machines.
The small ones are only the size of the doctor's visiting box, with a crank handle, which is used by small households.
The big one can lie down, and that's for the big dogs in the Qianqing family.
The big things are all things from several prison workshops in Zhengzhou, and the rest of the small hardware such as nails, loose pages, fine drill bits, pliers, wrenches, screws, nuts, etc., are made in the iron workshop opened by the powerful clans in Zhengzhou.
I heard that Liao can only make copper screws, but not iron screws, hahahaha is really laughing!
Speaking of which, the quality of ironware has really improved a lot in recent years, and the "hard is good" brand iron pots, kitchen knives, scissors, and well-known brand goods at home have to be used very much.
After talking about this, I remembered that it was time to go to Wanwufang to buy vegetables.
are all decent people, how can you go to Wanwufang without a small trailer?
It's the kind that can be folded into a board to hang at the door and open the mesh bag! The new goods bought on the 10,000 goods set, Bianjing people want this face!
By the way, what about my little spring scale? This also has to be brought, although there are fair scales in the Wanwu Collection, and there are treacherous people who supervise the scale rod by officials of the City Yi Division, but where can there be a spring scale from inside their bag to play decent?
If you want to buy anything, well, take a few canned bottles, this thing is good, you can seal it if you tighten it, and you are not afraid of spilling soy sauce, rice vinegar, soybean oil.
Almost, put on the banknote folder and go out, a few small banknotes that are about to be broken must be used out quickly, otherwise you have to go to the bank to change new money, and you will have to lose two percent!
The things that are collected are really not old and young now, not to mention the pots and pans, not to mention the vegetables on the outskirts of the city, and even the Yellow River fish and shrimp!
The common people in the countryside are not stupid, Wang Xianggong is engaged in the horse protection law, and the Xiaosu Taibao is engaged in carriages, and the roads in the sixteen counties lead to Bianjing!
I heard that today's horse-drawn carriages can be light, and the hillbillies set off in the middle of the night every day to go into the city to sell vegetables in the carriages of large households!
Entered the 10,000 goods set, do not pay the market for money! But it's cheaper for them!
The rebel son of the Lu family jumped to his feet and scolded, saying that the market management fee collected by Xiao Su Taibao was the same thing as the market change money.
Can it be the same thing? How much does Xiao Su Taibao charge? A mobile booth costs only five yuan a day, and a fixed booth costs twenty yuan a day, and then you can sell how you like, and you can shout as much as you like, and everyone is happy.
Hey, how do you sell this carp? Don't talk to me about the Yellow River carp, not the Bianhe River!
I Bianjing people have poisonous eyes, you are the duck dung fish raised in the pond at home, I have to throw it in the tank to raise it for half a month to feed the bad people to bad luck! Shouting indiscriminately and letting the officials of the City Yi Division come to get you!
That's right, twenty wen a pound is honest, it's just this big one, wait a minute, I have a spring scale here.
He weighed the fish, gave the money, but did not take it, and let the fish seller continue to raise it, and then went to the market himself.
There are a lot of new things in the 10,000 goods set, how do you read this word? Konjac? Konjac sauce? Smell so good?
Something from the south? How much does that cost? Such a small bottle, two hundred wen?!
Hey, hey, don't squeeze, the chapter system is given to the palace? Come a bottle, come a bottle, go home and take the examiner's word okay, and fill up with me every day......
How does this thing work? When pepper oil is ordered into the dish? It's good, it's convenient, how do you feel like it's the number of Xiao Su Taibao again? In addition to Xiao Su Taibao, which official is still in charge of our kitchen?
Then hit half a catty of soy sauce, two taels of vinegar, two taels of tempeh sauce, so dangerous, a few bad money people looked at it, and still frowned and accepted it.
I went to pick up green onions and ginger for ten cents, and tonight's dishes are all ready.
Well, after a long walk around and seeing the novelty, I went back to the fish seller to get the carp and went home happily to cook.
In the evening, the family was full of praise for the braised carp, except for the mother-in-law, who thought the konjac sauce was more expensive, everything else was good.
The official said that it was worth it, but that word didn't even test him, which shows that my family officials are still knowledgeable in the end.
The official also said that before Jinghu Lake was opened, konjac sauce was a tribute to the Nanyue Kingdom, and a bottle was worth five times, and only the palace could use it! After hearing this, the mother-in-law stopped chattering.
The official squeezed his eyes at himself, which meant that Xiu Mu could get up later tomorrow, he saved himself, so today he arranged for the eldest and second to sleep with his mother-in-law.
If you eat fish, you won't be honest! There's really no cat that doesn't want to get fishy!
This is the daily life of a low-level official in Bianjing in Xining's sixth year.
……
In May, when the water was abundant, Su You called in a large amount of Zhengzhou cement to strengthen the tofu scum project in Cao Village.
He didn't know why the officials didn't trust the big machinery, and in the end it could only be attributed to the poor foundation of science and engineering among the officials, and they were afraid of being cheated like Junchuan rake.
However, whoever dares to pit Su You, Su You will let him know what stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots is.
Is it really that Xiao Su Taibao is amiable and doesn't dare to hit people's boards?!
Su You was angry, taking advantage of the fact that the water of the Yellow River was not big this year, and in April, he used iron reinforcement cement large quadrangular castings to sink to Biankou Silicon, and then dropped the bamboo cage pebbles, raising the river defense project in the upper reaches of Bianjing to the level of once in 60 years.
The servants worked very hard, because in addition to the good salary, Xiao Su Taibao also said that after September, the land! Four acres of water per capita!
Money is easy to earn, but land is hard to buy! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
The renovation project of Biankou Xinsi, which is thousands of feet long, was completed quickly with the help of various large machinery.
There is also a water-trapping embankment in front of the embankment, and between the two, there is a huge waterwheel.
The Yellow River waterwheel!
The car is seven feet high, the spokes are thirty-six, the water bucket is forty-eight, and the two cars are side by side, if there are two hundred water wheels, they can irrigate tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land day and night!
This is a huge water conservancy system project, Xinsi must effectively divert the water of the Yellow River, put a sluice gate in front of the embankment, and prepare enough stones on weekdays, which must be able to slow down the flow of water, control the water level, and avoid the waterwheel being washed away by the flood.
Gates should also be set up along the way, not only to prevent excessive flooding into the Bianhe River when the Yellow River rises sharply, resulting in the flooding of Bianjing, but also to prevent the Bianhe River from being insufficient in the dry season, which will affect the transportation of the river.
After getting water, how to arrange the follow-up canals, so that they can wind all the way through the salt brine red land, and finally introduce the old canals.
This is a copy of Dujiangyan, but the scale is larger, Su You used the power of Si Tianjian and Hequ Si to swish, and Zeng Bu was very dissatisfied at first.
After inspecting the first large waterwheel on the spot, Zeng Bu immediately set up a waterwheel business in the third division, which was responsible for coordinating the matters of the joint profit sharing project with Kaifeng Prefecture.
Su Mingrun really dares to think and dare to do, the key is that others are blind, he can do it!
