Chapter 55: It's better to go back, and the harvest is very rich

The structure of the Fuwang granary, in fact, is the same as the general folk granary, the pattern drawn by the six people of TongguΓ², after piecing together, Zhu Changhao was surprised to find that the Fuwang granary is obviously constructed according to the nine-palace diagram. "Words, feelings, first, http://www.Klxsw.com

Fucang is a combination of nine large granaries, each with nine doors, but only one door can enter and exit, and the other doors can go out and cannot enter. According to the mantra of the Nine Palaces, "Two or four is the shoulder, six or eight is the foot, seven on the left and three on the right, one on the nine tails of the hat, and five in the middle." "Furnished.

For example, "24 for the shoulder" means that the northernmost left side is the No. 2 granary, and only the second door enters and exits the same of the nine doors on the granary. Number 4 is the warehouse on the far right, there are nine doors on it, counting from left to right, only the fourth door of the nine doors enters and exits at the same time, and the other doors are only in and out.

In addition, although Fukuchang is the same as other folk granaries, the main grain is dug in the cellar to store.

In the cellar, a layer of lime is first plastered, and the lime is wet and solidified, and then a layer of cow dung is brushed on the outside, and after the cow dung is smeared on the bamboo slivers, the bamboo slivers are spread along the trend of the lime, and there is a three-foot gap between the bamboo slivers and the lime.

In the middle of these three-foot gaps, all the ashes of the burned reeds and plants on the edge of the Luo River were filled. This plant ash is good, the first can be moisture-proof, the second can repel snakes and rats, and the third is that the plant ash can be well breathable.

Seeing that all the grain has been loaded onto the ox cart, tonight, Zhu Changhao will not return to the Fuwang Mansion, because early tomorrow morning, all the grain of the six hundred ox carts will be transported to Nanzhao County.

Then on the river wharf in Nanzhao County, load the ship and go south.

In Gongyi County tonight, Zhu Changhao and they lived in Fucang, and here I will say that Fucang is not so much a granary, but a warehouse city of Zhu Changxun.

It's just that the people living in the warehouse city are not the people, but the warehouse manager, as well as the steward in charge of the granary in the palace, and the warehouse soldiers who protect the warehouse.

There was no word all night, and the next day, 800 soldiers accompanied 600 ox carts to the south, and the scene was the chariots, horses and horses, and the bows and arrows of the soldiers were at their waists. King Rui walked with his wife, and the dust did not see the Luohe Bridge.

Walking non-stop for a day, when the cattle and horses were grazing at noon, they were all put on the neck of the cow and horse in the handlebar style A cloth bag was put on the neck of the cow and horse, which contained forage, and the cow and horse were walking and eating at the same time.

The handlebar style is also walking, eating cakes and drinking water at the same time.

Step after step, keep walking, and the road of more than 200 miles is finally completed.

Now I have arrived in Nanzhao County, and the handlebar type also has a strong foot pain, and I also walked to the Lianghekou Wharf.

It was at this pier that the boats were already in place, but unfortunately it was already evening.

On this night, everyone began to eat a big pot of rice, and the cows and horses walked for a day, and entered the circle in the big car shop in Nanzhao, drinking water and eating forage.

Ten large iron pots of the pro-guard team, inside are large pieces of pork, rice noodles, shallots, mustard, cabbage gangs, and old flour steamed buns.

On the top of the cauldron, a layer of scallion oil floats, fragrant and clear.

The handlebar and boatmen are eating large pieces of fat and munching on steamed buns, and the smell is so damn fragrant.

A night's rest without words.

The next day, taking advantage of the glimmer of the morning light, Zhu Changhao came out of the tent and looked at the white river flowing south in a daze.

Speaking of this white river, it is the first big river in Nanzhao County, which flows into the Han River through Nanyang and Xinye to Fancheng and flows into the Yangtze River.

Due to the geographical location and natural environment, the Baihe River has abundant water, the water potential is gentle, and the riverbed is dominated by sand, and there are very few stones

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) should be the sailing of the wooden sailboat. Late spring to late autumn is a great time for boats to sail on the White River, and you can see the busy river transportation scene by looking at the rows of white sails.

The freight wooden sailing ship of Baihe generally starts from Xiangfan, Hubei, goes upstream, passes through Xinye, crosses Nanyang, and enters Nanzhao. The main wharves along the river in Nanzhao are Huangludian, Liucun, Chaigang, Weiwan and Baitugang. In the summer high water season, if you need it in particular, you can reach the two estuaries of Banshanping.

Everyone got up, then buried the pot to cook, and the boatmen and guards carried grain to the ship, but the 300,000 catties of grain seemed to be a lot, but there were only thirty ships loaded on the ship, plus twenty sailors and sand boats prepared outside, it was also fifty. On these sand boats, they are equipped with tiger cannons, grenades, as well as crossbows and rockets.

Not to mention the sand boat, let's just say that this wooden sailing ship, in the 21st century unit of measurement, this boat, the grain is five tons, if in the wet season, a boat can definitely carry eight tons of grain.

Zhu Changhao looked at these boats, a little dizzy, compared with the sand boats of the sailor, these boats are fucking wooden sailboats.

Zhu Changhao looked at these boats with some surprise, and asked the well-informed old Taoist beside him, "Dao Chief, what do you say is this wooden sailing boat Taoist priest on the White River?" ”

As soon as Lao Dao heard that it was the prince who asked, he opened his mouth and said, "Lord Wang, the wooden sailboat on the White River is made of good catalpa planks and a large number of iron nails and iron grabbers, and the joints are plugged with oil and hemp and batch ash, and the inside and outside of the ship are used to batch ash several times, and the boiled tung oil is brushed several times to prevent seepage and anti-corrosion. The shape of the boat is such that the bow and stern are higher than the cabin, while the cabin is wider than the bow and stern, and the front of the bottom is upturned in a certain arc. The ship was equipped with a number of cabins, with movable planks laid on the bilge and upper compartments for loading and unloading cargo, and each wooden boat could carry up to seventy or eighty stones.

The cabin is also equipped with a detachable vaulted roof, which is woven from wooden planks or bamboo strips, and then brushed with tung oil to protect it from rain. There are also windows on both sides of the vault. An iron anchor is placed in the bow of the ship, which is connected to the hull by an iron chain, and is used to secure the ship when docking. The stern of the ship is equipped with a rudder, and the boat owner (the boat boss) relies on the rudder to adjust and control the direction of the ship. There is also a wooden wedge for the safety of the boat at the stern! ”

After listening to what the old man said, Zhu Changhao felt in his heart that this wooden sailboat was similar to what he had seen in the 21st century film and television films.

However, in order to establish his image of being well-informed and knowledgeable, Zhu Changhao said, "What do the locals pay attention to when they sail?" ”

"Lord Wang, the locals sail on ships, and the boats are mostly loaded with goods in Xiangfan and Nanyang and transported to the wharves along the river for sale; Then load it with local souvenirs, go down the river, and transport it to all parts of the downstream for sale.

Going upriver is called "water boat", erecting a straight cedar pole - mast in the front and middle of the ship, and raising a white cloth sail on the mast, commonly known as "tent".

The sail is sewn into a rectangle of white cloth and held with a dozen or so horizontal bracs, and the two ends of the bamboo poles are fixed on both sides of the sail, and they are raised and hung on the mast by ropes and pulleys. The owner of the boat uses a rope attached to the bamboo pole of the sail to adjust the direction of the sail to the wind, and grasps the rudder to move the boat forward with the help of the wind. In order to speed up the boat, the boatmen will also use pennies to prop the boat forward, and when the wind is really insufficient, they will also use people to pull the fiber.

When sailing, the owner of the boat observes the current and water potential at any time, and determines which is the shallow and which is the trough of the boat. The sail is lowered and retracted, the mast is lowered, and the boat owner only needs to hold the rudder, which basically moves forward by the current. The owner of the boat brought his family, ate and lived on the boat, and was busy for water transportation. ”

An hour is about the same

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page), the grain bag has been stacked on the ship's board, after it is fixed,.

The boss of the well-fed boat gang shouted, "It's time to start the boat~".

Ten sand boats in the front and back, hanging this Fubo sailor, well, it should be the Fubo fleet, at least for the time being, it is also the Fubo fleet, and the Fuwang flag of the prince of Da Mingrui is hoisted on the sand boat, and the anchor is far away

The cold wind was fierce, the strong wind was blowing, and Zhu Changhao was also on the bow of the boat with his daughter, going down the water.

On this day, they walked 300 miles, and slowly in the evening, they arrived in Xiangyang.

Zhu Changhao recalled that he had just returned from Xiangyang five days ago, and now he was revisiting on the spot.

Then let's visit again in Xiangyang, and in the evening, after arranging the grain boat, we will go to Xiangyang Mansion to have a look. The night market in Xiangyang Mansion looks a little dark, except for some juggling, snacks and the like.

However, many people on the side of the road seem to be so unenergetic, and looking at the living conditions of those boatmen just now, Zhu Changhao is also a little uncomfortable, their food in winter is some rotten vegetable leaves, plus some salted dried fish in autumn, just make do with a little food. This is a wealthy boatman, but the house of those boatmen with many children is a pot of boiled vegetables.

The turquoise vegetable soup, Zhu Changhao understands that the life of this boatman is not easy to do.

Therefore, he decided that since the life of the shipwrights is not good, he will bring these shipwrights to Hanzhong tomorrow, and form a royal fleet in the future, these people are ready-made, and the most important thing is that Zhu Changhao has also given the boatmen a way to live.

At night in the night market, the weather was cold, and the night market was not full of vitality, Zhu Changhao turned around and basically sold out all the snacks that could be eaten in the night market.

Returning to the dock of the Inspection Division, Zhu Changhao told Zhu Yiyi a story about the little girl who sold fire folds and froze to death under the bully's kitchen on the night of the thirtieth day of the lunar month.

When Zhu Yiyi heard this, she remembered the scene when she fled the famine during the drought years.

Zhu Yiyi fell asleep very sadly, Zhu Changhao let Bumu Butai next to him also shed tears, Zhu Changhao sighed to himself, "Alas, no matter how smart a girl is, she is only fifteen years old, this flower-like age is full of sadness and sorrow for things!" ”

Bumu Butai and Zhu Yiyi fell asleep, and Zhu Changhao, who turned over and got out of bed, came to Liu Zilian's side and whispered between husband and wife.

The next day, Zhu Changhao got up early and began to post a notice at the 12th Road of the 5th Street and 12th Road in Xiangyang City, along the wharf of the river, "The King of Zhongrui in the Ming Dynasty recruits boatmen, you can bring your wife with your daughter, and the whole family enters Hanzhong, with three taels of silver per month, the whole family eats and stays, and the boat belongs to yourself, and the time is limited to one day." If you are interested, go to the wharf of the Xiangyang Inspection Division, register in the register, and leave the next day. ”

As soon as this sticker came out, the whole bitter boatman boiled.

The shipwrights who ate bran for a day wept with joy, and now there were no merchant ships on the whole water, and they had no work to do.

But Lord Rui opened three taels of moon and silver, and also included food and accommodation, what a good condition.

Xiangyang is the confluence of these two rivers, there are not many others, just this boat gang, but unfortunately, life is difficult, and the boat gang is not binding.

This is not just this day, Zhu Changhao has 600 households at dusk. Looking at the boatmen and ships assembled at the dock of the Inspection Division at night, Zhu Changhao cracked his mouth and smiled.

Zhu Changhao didn't say anything else, and directly asked Liu Zheng to purchase a large amount of food in the market and distribute it to the shipwrights. Moreover, Liu Zheng was called, and some important matters were to be discussed this night, but Zhu Changhao also smiled proudly in his heart, this trip to Luoyang was very fruitful!
