Chapter Twenty-Six: When the Son of Heaven Approves the Manuscript (Third Update)
Ten people from the county government stood on the edge of the field and watched, the paddy field was full of water, and the rice seedlings were growing normally.
'Poof! A frog jumped up from the water and got into it.
Dragonflies flew around, and some even landed on people's shoulders.
Where is the disaster in front of you?
When you go to the cotton field, there are traces of water flowing through the ditches, and the cotton will not be bad.
Turn your head and go to the new field of purple flower and soybean planting, and there is no shortage of water.
"Yichang, the rest of the field is not planted?" Li Zhixian was uncomfortable, and the land was empty......
"Raise the land, plant it in autumn, and plant it in the fall."
The lieutenant assured that he would not say that he wanted to plant wheat.
If you plant wheat, you will have noodles, and if you have noodles, you will have stone alkali, and next year you will plant artemisia seeds and knotweed, and this year you will harvest the seeds of both.
Han Han said that there is stone alkali that can make new soap and make a fortune.
Or give the way to make soap, specializing in selling stone alkali, depending on the development of the situation, I have no choice but to give it.
In short, you have to make a lot of money first, so that the people in the village can live a good life.
The village has seen it, and the county knows that it is going to go, go back and report it, and find a way.
Seeing that he couldn't keep it, he had to bring the leftover buns in the morning for everyone, and he was hungry to eat on the way.
If they wanted to send anything else, they said they didn't want anything, and they hurried out of the village on horseback.
……
In the city of Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang approved the manuscript, and the inscription sent by Ning Guofu could not be directly sent to the Son of Heaven, so he had to go through the process.
It was first sent to the General Administration Department, and then handed it to the emperor by the General Administration Department, and the emperor saw that some did not understand, so he asked someone to ask, and then decided.
One book after another, the ministers waited by the side.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a bad mood, he was busy, and God didn't give face.
This year, Xu Da went to war and dealt with the etiquette in the palace again.
The official system of the royal palace was given, and the sons were crowned kings.
The matter of the imperial examination has been planned, and it is said that it will be opened in August.
Why is it dry? Is it wrong for someone to wonder if he went out to work hard and lose money and make his son king, so there is a drought?
The more I thought about Zhu Yuanzhang, the more unhappy I became, I took a new one, and when I saw it, Ning Guofu.
"What else can there be in Ning Guofu? Guaranteed to be drought, drought...... Huh? Rock candy? Brown sugar turns into rock sugar, rock sugar is expensive! Foreigners are all bad. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang found that it was not a drought matter, and muttered to look back, there was not much content in the book, and he was tired of looking at it.
There are only three pieces in the whole playbook, one has no content, the second one is exactly one hundred and twenty words, saying rock sugar, and the third one is one hundred and two crosses, saying rape ramie.
After the matter was clear, Zhu Yuanzhang wondered: "What about the sugar that Ning Guofu sent with the title book?" ”
The person from the General Administration Department stepped forward: "In the department." ”
"Fetch it, I'll see." Zhu Yuanzhang was interested, and he showed the question book to the minister.
After a while, the sugar was brought in, more than 100 catties!
Swinging away, Zhu Yuanzhang bypassed the case and went to the front to watch.
Liu Ji, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and others were all there, curious together.
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the brown sugar: "This is our Daming." ”
Referring to two kinds of white sugar: "This one is whiter and the one is a foreigner." ”
Finally, rock candy: "Daming's rock candy is bigger than the foreigner's block, and the foreigner's small karma beans, hahaha!" That's it, dare to be nearly twenty times more expensive than brown sugar? Hum! ”
Liu Ji took a step forward and touched the candy: "Your Majesty, foreigners deceive me too much." Rock sugar comes from brown sugar, which is nothing more than a loss of about 30%, and the price is 17 or 8 times higher. ”
Li Shanchang followed with righteous indignation: "Long live, from now on, our Daming rock candy will be sold to foreigners, ours is better than theirs, they won't." ”
"Hooray." Hu Weiyong followed: "Long live Lord, anyone who knows the method of making sugar should be called to the capital to be strictly guarded, so as not to leak secrets." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Hu Weiyong lightly: "Arrest the method you got for me?" What about the question book for writing methods? Bring. ”
The person from the General Administration Department took it out of his bosom and handed it over.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked through it, and after a while: "Mother!" It's that simple, oh my god! ”
The ministers were more surprised, long live not talking like this for a while, today ......
"Planting sugarcane, harvesting sugarcane, making sugar, selling it to foreigners, selling it to them for 200 yuan, how much is the price of sugar?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was excited, and after saying two hundred articles, he was afraid of selling cheaply.
Everyone looked at each other, who usually asks the price of brown sugar and rock sugar?
It was still the person from the General Administration Department who said: "Long live, I got the question book, I went to the bazaar to see it, brown sugar is 27 wen a catty, white sugar is 95 wen a catty, and rock sugar is 410 wen." ”
"Your Majesty, ask the foreigner how much he is willing to buy such rock candy, and then make a plan." Liu Ji suggested.
"Ask." Zhu Yuanzhang bowed: "Xiaqiu Village, Xuancheng County, Ningguo Prefecture, has finished harvesting rice and planting rape and ramie, and it has been harvested, and the yield per mu is not low, is it feasible in the village next to it?" ”
"Long live, this method requires a large number of livestock to plough the ground, which ordinary people do not have in their homes."
Li Shanchang frowned, thinking that it would not work.
"Hooray." Hu Weiyong spoke up: "Long live Lord, the people can get half an acre of benefits if they can grow half an acre, and they don't have to plant all the paddy fields." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Exactly, ten acres can't be cultivated, and half an acre is not much." When the order is appropriate, the prefecture and the state are sued to the people. ”
He lowered his head and looked at the sugar again: "Commend Ning Guofu, they make more sugar, let's take a look at it on the market!" Sugar ...... in the temple Each of you will share half a catty, and I will arrange the rest. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood and knew that the officials of Ning Guofu wanted to sell the sugar to make money, so he was allowed to make it once.
He divided the sugar in front of him, and he wanted to say that he would divide all the courtiers.
After pondering, this sugar was made by the Ming people themselves, which has symbolic meaning, and they left a part of it.
Turning around, he went back and continued to read the notebook, humming the tune of his hometown in his mouth.
……
"Yi Chang, rent livestock this time, and return the grain when you receive it."
Feng Gui from Xihe Village came to Xiaqiu Village to borrow cattle and carry water.
The drought continued, and people could no longer carry water.
The rent cannot be given now, and grain is generally used, and grain is given, and there is no grain to eat before the rice harvest.
"There is no urgency in the matter of money and food, and the cattle can be taken care of, and they cannot be tired to death."
The lieutenant promised to say in advance, carrying too much water at a time, and carrying it continuously, the livestock would die of exhaustion, and the other party could not afford to pay for it.
"When I take care of my own family, I will keep an eye on it myself." Feng Gui assured.
Zhu Wentian listened beside him, turned to leave, found the little girl, whispered, and the little girl ran to the captain's side.
"Uncle Feng is here?" The little girl said hello.
"Little bell!" Feng Gui responded with a smile.
The little girl nodded and said to the chief, "My mother said that my grandfather would borrow livestock and borrow a few more."
If you are willing to borrow it, let one or two people go with us in the village, and say that the cattle will go outside to recognize their lives and lose their temper.
In fact, I am afraid that my grandfather will use the livestock to death, and there is a drought! For the sake of water, people are desperate, not to mention livestock. ”
After saying that, the little girl turned around and ran.
The lieutenant chief looked at Feng Gui: "Feng Laosi! The cattle in the village are afraid of being born and losing their temper outside, so it is better for two people from my village to come over to help take care of them. ”
Feng Gui: "......"
