"We not only have to dig food from the ground, but also fish meat from the water, so as to make up for the lack of grain production with aquatic non-staple food that does not occupy arable land.

Take advantage of the large lake that God has gifted us to make money to repair the roads that God obstructs us from coming and going.

His weeds, my medicine. His rotten fruit, my honey ointment. All things in the world are outdated and self-destructive.

Therefore, we must centralize, scale and technology aquaculture, coordinate people's working time, and unify ideas......"

Zhu Rong, who finally caught the opportunity, told his father and others, giving people a feeling of scolding Fang Yu and pointing out the country.

It is almost said that the people are organized and managed, and when the time comes, it will be conducive to rebellion.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think about whether Zhu Fan would rebel, he was thinking, did the master have already remembered this matter?

If the imperial court did not repair the Rouge River, the aquatic products would have to be raised in a circle and sent to other places to sell.

The four lakes are connected by rivers, but they belong to the respective places of Yingtianfu, Taiping Mansion, and Ningguo Mansion, and there is a Wuhu County in the west.

"O Girl! If you want to make this big deal with Xiaqiu Village, where does the capital come from? ”

Queen Ma listened carefully, as for whether it works or not, there is no harm in trying.

"The child thought that eighty percent of the profits from the sale of beer in the palace would continue to be used to invest in other industries, including department stores, department stores are ......."

Zhu Fan continued to say that there are too many things waiting to be arranged by himself, and he is very busy.

"The advantage of the store is that it is not easy for the people to travel far away, but the goods can be sent far away, centralized transportation, sales in different places, and purchase in different places, saving the people to come and go, and enough for the daily supply of the people."

Zhu Fan finally concluded that the advantage of opening a chain department store lies in this, and it can also make money.

"O Girl! You're busier than our emperor! Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Don't dare!" Zhu Fan shook his head, what emperor is not an emperor, we haven't thought about it.

"Eat crabs. Xiaqiu Village is really not suitable for such a big thing, let us be in front, so calculated! ”

Queen Ma personally brought a steamed crab to her second son and beckoned her to eat.

Everyone understands that if Xiaqiu Village wants to do this, it needs to pay more energy and cost, especially to open up the local government offices.

Things need to be transported back and forth, can the road guide be opened one at a time? Who does the tax end up with? What if someone deliberately makes things difficult?

In partnership with the King of Qin, the problems of the yamen everywhere have been solved, what kind of road to lead? Taxes are arranged by the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought the same as Queen Ma, let the master do it, anyway, no one has ever operated it like this, if it works, then consider calling other places to try to learn.

If not, there will be no loss in the court and the palace.

……

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the Double Ninth Festival, dogwood, drinking chrysanthemum wine and so on.

There is no time for the festival in Xiaqiu Village, and there is no more than the palace.

The festival is a bountiful harvest, proving that the first crops were harvested in a similar time frame at this time.

It can be wheat, rice, sorghum, millet, and barley planted in summer, but now Ningguofu has harvested all of them, and ramie and rapeseed have been planted.

Ning Guofu came forward to lend money to the people to lease large livestock, and repay it after the harvest next year.

The people have something to do this winter, they need to keep looking for fertilizer and top dressing, and the thatched houses in the county towns cannot be wasted.

The 100,000 troops of the imperial court were dispatched to Rouge Gang near the source of the Qinhuai River.

They carried pickaxes, baskets, poles, hammers, and ropes......

During this time, the imperial court had been preparing things, including learning to go back to make gunpowder to teach others to make new gunpowder.

Fortunately, after the grain is harvested, it is being transported to Yingtianfu, and the normal soldiers also have to eat, and now Zhu Yuanzhang has some savings on hand.

Ropes, baskets, poles, and other things can be purchased from nearby prefectures.

Then recruit some people who have not served this year to help cook, and they will be idle after the harvest anyway.

Then in the evening, the chief received a letter from the Song prefect of Ningguo Mansion, saying that today is the Double Ninth Festival, and he has not seen him for a good time, and he misses it very much.

Finally, a brief mention of trouble, the people in the other five counties of Ningguo Mansion have planted the land, and they can't catch up with the fat, so they are too worried.

"Hanhan, Song Zifu is in a hurry, so he wrote here to ask for help."

The chief knew what the other party meant at a glance, what do you miss or don't want to miss, why don't you miss it early?

"Dredging the river! Isn't there silt, put the dried weeds on it, mix it with the fertilizer that was soaked before, and continue to soak it, and the time will come. ”

Zhu Wentian felt that the Song prefect was dead-eyed, so he went to find fertilizer if he didn't have fertilizer, and there were still many phosphate mines in the local area, and then burn some plant ash.

"Such a simple method, no one in the entire Ning Guofu thought of it?" The lieutenant felt that something was wrong.

He could think of it, but he didn't have the manpower, so in what name did he let the people work? Do good for the people, take much from the people, and the people do not do it. ”

Zhu Wentian naturally understands the other party's difficulties, the labor service that should be served this year has basically been completed, and next year's time will be used, what should I do if there is something in the imperial court next year?

Li Chang nodded: "In this case, the law of dredging the river is not feasible. ”

"The people were asked to do more work, but they didn't want to, so in other words, they were allowed to use the silt from the river for free.

And the government is willing to help organize it, so that everyone knows how to do it, and for the sake of the people, the officials are willing to work hard.

However, there is one point, the number of people is limited, and the people who sign up to dig the silt first get it, and then the number is enough, but the silt is not enough, so it will not work. ”

"How much is good?"

"It's up to you, it's never enough anyway, and the people can still count them one by one? It is said that only 50,000 places are provided, and when it is 100,000, it is said that it is less than 50,000, and whoever wants to come will come, so many rivers and rivers! Silt is enough. ”

"Alas!" Li Chang sighed: "I'll write a letter, and I'll send it to Xiaqiu Village tonight, go to Xiaqiu Village to change the carriage, and bring things to send it together." ”

By the way, let him help collect chrysanthemums in other counties of Ningguo Mansion, which is medicine, and the people in the villages who fished crabs together told those who were idle at home to pick chrysanthemums. Stay until the Double Ninth Day, and come to chrysanthemums. ”

Zhu Wentian added that the village still has money to collect chrysanthemums.

"Good!" The lieutenant left and went back to his room to write a letter.

Half an hour later, the escort took the letter and set off by boat, crossing the Qinhuai River and entering the Yangtze River, all the way against the current, which seemed very inconvenient.

If the Rouge River opens, it enters Shijiu Lake directly from the Qinhuai River, and then goes to the Danyang Lake next to it, and returns to the village.

When you come to Nanjing from Xiaqiu Village, you can take a farther road, go downstream, and go back to change one, and I feel that this artificial canal seems to be built for Xiaqiu Village.

At this time, the people of Xiaqiu Village were taking people from other villages to light lamps to catch crabs, digging a pit next to the lake, lighting a lamp, and the crabs saw a light after dark, so they looked for and climbed, and then fell into the pit.
