Chapter 102: The Sailor Arranged for the Oxen to Need More (Third Shift)
After a spring rain, the weather slowly warms.
The people of Xiaqiu Village are busy growing vegetables, and they have to eat food, and they can't miss vegetables.
In the arid areas, the rain has not fallen, and the people have shaken water from the wells to water the winter wheat, which is much harder than in previous years, but they still persist.
While they were tired, they also had to thank the imperial court, without the mandatory order of the imperial court last year, people would starve to death this year.
Zhu Yuanzhang above the court is an old god, and this year he still went to fight Ming Yuzhen in Sichuan, with a large number of wells, the financial pressure on the Ming Dynasty was reduced.
The ministers didn't know the specific situation at all, but Hu Weiyong, who had just become Zuo Cheng, had a guess in his heart, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang several times who knew about the drought in so many places.
How could Zhu Yuanzhang talk to him? Always change the topic and expose it, anyway, it is impossible to tell him that there is a village where a master lives.
Zhu Yuanzhang is rejoicing, thanks to believing in the words of the masters, otherwise a large area of winter wheat will be killed by drought, and the population will inevitably decrease, so what is the use of eliminating the field endowment?
In addition, he made a lot of money from the Yiren of the City Bo Division, and he was full of confidence in attacking Ming Yuzhen.
After waiting for the next court, he found Zhu Biao: "Do you want to write a letter?" ”
Zhu Biao nodded: "Yesterday I sent it with alkali, and my father wants to build a Daming Water Division?" ”
"Now there is a lot of money, and the sailors can deal with the Japanese and private trade, otherwise there are countless sailors, and the money and food will be wasted, and my current enemy is in the desert."
Zhu Yuanzhang earns a lot, thinking that he can afford it, otherwise he will definitely not build a ship and train soldiers, and he attaches the most importance to the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in his heart.
He was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the previous Yuan Dynasty was not wiped out, and he was always worried that he would come back one day.
"Erchen also means this, the sea is forbidden to open, and it is more secure to have a sailor to take care of it." Zhu Biao supported his father.
It is absolutely not okay to let the people go out, but the court is no problem, the people should stay in one place honestly and do not move, and they have to open the way when they go out.
……
Zhu Wentian got the letter, there are still a lot of trona, the village doesn't have to make its own stone alkali, it's very troublesome, and you have to soak the grass in water and pour noodles.
In this way, the imperial court will no longer buy the stone alkali in the village to make things, and there is a loss of fixed income.
The friends were writing, he was in a daze, and the prince asked how to build a water division, isn't it embarrassing!
How can you build a water master yourself? Can you show the prince what is written in the book?
Zhu Wentian was worried, in fact, the sailor was easy to handle, so he looked for Chen Youliang's original subordinates, and later helped Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang fight a water war with Fu Youde.
Fu Youde can fight well, although the final outcome is not very good, because Zhu Biao is dead, there are also Basket Yu and others.
In order to allow Zhu Yunwen to succeed to the throne smoothly, Zhu Yuanzhang killed all the generals and capable ministers who had a marriage relationship with the kings.
After thinking about it, Zhu Wentian didn't care about how the sailor was built, he picked up the pen and wrote: "When the sailor was first established, he should look for countries close to the land, such as Annam and Siam, and exchange goods for rice to support himself. ’
He wrote this paragraph, and there was nothing else to say, telling Zhu Yuanzhang to send the sailor out as a caravan.
As for whether the things in exchange are kept private or not, and how much they are rewarded, I believe that the imperial court has regulations.
Thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that after raising a sailor, the sailor turned around and rebelled against him, and he was psychologically shadowed by Chen Youliang.
It is estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang will adopt the method of marriage to stabilize an army, such as even if Chang Yuchun died, his daughter was still married by Zhu Biao, the crown princess.
"Yikes! Zhu Biao is about to get married, and in April, I have to prepare gifts, which are different and cannot be guaranteed by others.
The crown princess is also a hard-working person, giving birth to children in a row, and the last Zhu Yunxi died eleven days after giving birth, obviously a puerperal infection.
In addition, if you give birth too often, your body is weak, you have to make up for it, and postpartum infection is easy to say, just don't get infected! ”
Zhu Wentian thought of some things, Zhu Yuanzhang was really too difficult, the crown princess died, Zhu Xiongying died, and Zhu Biao died.
If they were all alive, why did he kill them like that?
……
Before lunch, Zhu Wentian found the chief and gave the paper to the other party, and the chief took a copy from the house, sealed it with lacquer, and after thinking about it, he decided to send it tomorrow morning.
You can prepare your meal tonight and deliver it to your place with your meal.
"Hanhan, there is a cow that is about to give birth, ask someone to guard it, and go and see it later?"
When the chief was eating, he told Hanhan the good news, and there would be another cow in the village.
After raising it for about a year and a half, the cow takes the calf next to it when she ploughs the land and lets her see how to plow, and it is a good labor to learn in a few days.
"Good, look! Hey! Zhu Wentian nodded, he really wanted to keep an eye on it, and deal with it quickly if there was a problem.
When Mrs. Zhu heard this, she knew that she had to be busy again, so she went over to record.
After the meal, everyone went to see the cows, which were placed in a separate place, laid with hay, and the cows had edema in their abdomen, and they did not like to eat much, among other conditions.
In the face of onlookers, the cow did not panic and was accustomed to the presence of people.
There are already villagers who have prepared steamed scissors, hand towels, ropes, hand washing and arms to go up to give birth in case of difficult birth.
Zhu Wentian looked at it and wondered if his laboratory could make what he wanted, and whether he could hire a skilled craftsman from the outside.
According to the judgment, he felt that it was almost the same, make it simple, and make it better after the process was improved.
Just as she was thinking, the cow suddenly fell to her knees, then slowly fell down and leaned sideways on the grass.
'Moo! Moo! Then the cow began to bark, and the stomach moved, and the villagers who were waiting to get their hands on it began to sweat.
It's one cow, no, two, and it's a big loss when it dies.
As a result, without the help of the Master, the calf slipped out of his slimy body, and the cow barked twice more and began to lick the calf.
About two quarters of an hour the calf stood up tremblingly, and the cow continued to lick and stand, and the calf stepped closer and closer to the cow's belly and raised its head to drink.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......" The villagers let out a happy laugh, and the village added another mouthful.
The villagers brought the brown sugar wheat bran brine prepared in advance, which was reluctant to give sugar in the past, and added some salt and cold water to the wheat bran, and now the boiled water is put to lukewarm.
Drink this and don't starve to death, try to feed alfalfa grass tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, dry, and then silage.
Zhu Taiyi and the four of them wrote down this process, and when the time came, they would work together and produce normally, in fact, they didn't need to write it, they were just afraid.
Zhu Wentian continued to wait, and when the calf was full of milk and the cow was drinking mixed water, he called his friends to go to the mountain temple and try to make toys.
Others who are not busy continue to watch the cows and calves, and should have milk before the evening.
"Cattle in a place like ours will become more and more expensive in the future, and a variety of crops will require large livestock to plough the fields, otherwise people will be tired to death from farming."
The lieutenant chief said to Zhu Taiyi and the four of them that this needs to be recorded, the key content, and the test must be examined, and the rotation of cultivation consumes fertilizer and strength.
