In the evening, on the side of the East Palace, the crown princess asked a little surprised: "Why is the wine dew so expensive?" ”

She promised Wen Po Wang and the others that she would provide them with 75 percent of the wine dew for disinfection to see what the effect was.

Although she had already considered that the liquor would be more expensive than ordinary liquor, she did not expect that the price would be about ten times worse than she imagined.

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the store said that wine dew is the essence of wine, and it is naturally more expensive. In Nanjing, there are only two that sell them, and the prices are the same! ”

The crown princess heard it a little strangely and said, "There are only two for sale, is there so little?" ”

Before, she heard Zhang Yifan tell the story, and even a country boy knew it, she thought it was very common. As a result, I didn't expect that there were only two selling in the entire Nanjing City, so it is no wonder that the price is high!

Li Shizhen in the middle and late Ming Dynasty recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Shochu is not an ancient method, it has been created since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. The method is to use strong wine and dregs into the retort, steam the gas, and use a vessel to take the drip dew...... It is as clear as water, the taste is very strong, and the wine is also dewed. ”

In other words, distillation technology has spread in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, but it only existed in the Yuan Dynasty, after the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know how many people died, and it is reasonable that there are not many people who can still know the distillation technology.

As for Zhang Yifan's insight, it is a special case for the Ming Dynasty, and it is strange if he does not make a mistake with this as a reference!

At this time, the crown princess can't help it, even if the price is expensive, she still has to buy it. However, after such an incident, the crown princess took a look at Zhang Yifan's impression again.

And at about the same time, in the palace of King Yan in Nanjing, King Zhu Di of Yan was also listening to the advice of his subordinates.

Just as soon as he heard it, he blew up a little: "What? The eldest sister actually ran to Liujia Village without permission? ”

Zhu Di did receive the will of the palace and asked him to start preparing for marriage. However, Zhang Yifan's matter still worries him. This is not to say that he wants Zhang Yifan, but wants Zhang Yifan's ability!

For him, Zhang Yifan also has a lot of things that confuse him.

Zhu Di is a serious person, otherwise he would not be able to achieve the emperor's hegemony. Therefore, he wanted to find out what Zhang Yifan had and how much ability he had? For this reason, although he couldn't go to Liujia Village in person, he also sent his men to Liujia Village to watch.

turned out to be good, and gave him a surprise on the first day: Zhu Jingjing ran to Liujia Village without permission!

After the initial shock and irritation, Zhu Di quickly calmed down.

For him, Zhu Jingjing's matter is a bit difficult to handle.

An easy way is to go to the palace to complain. Even if you don't tell Zhu Yuanzhang, then tell Queen Ma that she will definitely be able to ground Zhu Jingjing.

However, Zhu Di and Zhu Jingjing have a good relationship, and he doesn't want his eldest sister to be punished by his father and queen mother. He can't do the matter of suing unless he has to.

However, if he doesn't sue, Zhu Di is sure that if he goes to persuade this eldest sister, even if he talks bitterly, it is estimated that the eldest sister will not listen.

Therefore, Zhu Jingjing's matter, he has a little headache. Since I can't think of a way for the time being, I'll put it aside.

So, he continued to ask about Zhang Yifan's situation. Especially because after Zhu Jingjing was involved, he asked more carefully.

"What, the establishment of the village community? What does that mean? ”

"What, to build houses for the whole village, and to pave roads?"

"What?"

“……”

What Zhu Di never expected was that Liujia Village was so noisy, doing so many things, and doing something strange, which was really funny!

But there is one thing that still makes him more pleased. It's that Zhang Yifan really cares about his eldest sister and wants him to be the largest shareholder.

"Your Highness, this matter of their affairs is simply nonsense, wasting money in vain, and they can't do anything!"

As soon as Zhu Di heard the words of his subordinates, he immediately asked curiously, "How can you see it?" ”

His subordinates listened, and hurriedly replied to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, your subordinates know a little bit about business. They had to replace the whole village with brick houses with a thousand taels of silver from Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the ground was paved with stone slabs, and these things had to be completed before the rainy season came, and their subordinates dared to assert that they could not complete this, not to mention that they even thought of repairing the river in their village......"

Zhu Di didn't interrupt his subordinates, just listened carefully.

“…… If it is decided today, anyone who has a little money has to renovate the house, so the price of bricks and tiles has been rising. In particular, stone slabs suitable for paving are in short supply. Liujia Village is short of time, and the cost is even higher. That 1,000 taels of silver is definitely not enough ......."

Because Zhu Di was ordered to make a private visit, he also had an understanding of local civil affairs. Therefore, he also agrees with the statement of his subordinates.

Not to mention anything else, especially those stone slabs that pave the ground, they have to be carved out of the mountains and then polished and smoothed before they can be used to pave the ground. Now is the time when many people want it, and the price is very expensive.

That Zhang Yifan didn't even know how to do it, and even changed the thatched house to a tiled house, and even paved the ground, didn't he know the height of the sky, thinking that a thousand taels of silver could be used by more than 100 families?

However, Zhu Di is actually not surprised by this, after all, Zhang Yifan's age is there: young people, reckless, understandable!

Thinking so in his heart, he didn't speak, and continued to listen to his subordinates' analysis.

After his subordinates finished speaking, Zhu Di sat there and thought for a while, and finally asked his subordinates: "Which is the closest quarry to Liujia Village?" ”

His subordinates thought for a moment, and then said, "It's the Li family of Taifu Temple." ”

The name of Taifu Temple is Li Cunyi, and he is the brother of Li Shanchang, the Korean duke.

Zhu Di listened, frowned slightly, seemed to hesitate a little, after thinking for a while, he finally explained to his subordinates: "You watch first, and when they go to the Li family's quarry to buy slates, they will say hello to the Li family, and first give the goods to Liujia Village, and charge them half of the price, and the other half will be given by the Yan Wangfu." ”

He always remembered the scene when his eldest sister was on the verge of death, and he was really scared at that time, afraid of losing his eldest sister. Therefore, Zhang Yifan ignored him for reprimanding and saving his eldest sister at that time, and he always remembered it in his heart.

Although Zhang Yifan was paid, he also objected to the eldest sister running to find Zhang Yifan, but he always felt that this life-saving love was not over, and secretly helped Zhang Yifan, which can be regarded as an explanation to himself.

His subordinates were a little surprised when they heard it, but they didn't object, and when they saw that Zhu Di didn't give orders, they retreated.

As for Zhu Di, he began to have a headache about his eldest sister again. This person has grown up, and it's hard to manage! It's not like when I was a child, I didn't have anything to hit her, it was a real headache!

He was sure that if this eldest sister dared to run away once, there would be a second time!

Don't say it, Zhu Di guessed right, the next day, Zhu Jingjing happily ran to Liujia Village again.
