"Hanhan, it's blown up over there, the canal is good, how will we go in the future?" When the lieutenant learned the news, he ran over to find Hanhan.

"The Huangchi River enters Danyang Lake and is a countercurrent, and after entering Shijiu Lake, the water of Shijiu Lake flows to the Qinhuai River, and the water of the Qinhuai River flows into the Yangtze River."

Zhu Wentian first talked about the problem of water flow in various places, and Xiaqiu Village took a new road to Nanjing, and there was a period of counterflow.

Li Chang understood: "Taking the Huangchi River into Wuhu is a downstream, Wuhu into the Yangtze River, or downstream, and when you enter the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, it is a countercurrent."

From the new route to Nanjing, there will be an extra seven or eight miles of countercurrent, but it is close, and there is no need to go to the Yangtze River to squeeze with other ships.

The return trip is naturally to take a new route, anyway, it is all countercurrent, and the countercurrent of the Qinhuai River is not as fierce as the Yangtze River. ”

"Let's actually take the village to the river along the lake and repair it well, and then use cattle to pull the boat away, which will be more labor-saving.

Build a bridge to the location of the lake, and Xiaqiu Village will be able to take advantage of it in the future, and only using a boat is too simple in some cases.

Usually the fields by the lake are afraid that the water will rise in the summer, so we don't plant in the summer, plant wheat in the winter, and harvest a crop a year, and no one cares about it there. ”

Zhu Wentian continued to come up with ideas, although the lake is good, there are few people, hurry up and farm the land, many times at a time.

"As long as it is navigable and easy to transport, the population of the lake will increase in the future. Then build a lake embankment, they don't build it, and we will also let His Majesty find someone to build it.

In this way, it is enough to plant more fields, and by the way, increase aquaculture, divert water to the low-lying land next to it as a pond, raise loaches, eels, lotus seeds, lotus seeds and lotus roots. ”

Zhu Wentian continued, the conventional routine, the use of natural resources, to increase the income of the people.

It's a pity that it's such a, the officials don't know, what are they thinking day by day?

The lieutenant nodded again and again: "I have to write it down, don't forget, it's easy to repair the bridge, spend money to find craftsmen, and craftsmen will know how to build them."

If you build a road, aren't there about 200 families over there, give them food, and they help repair a little bit a day, and they have little to do in winter. ”

He pondered how to arrange it, he had the money, and began to sell vegetables in the greenhouse, and when he earned the money, he first paid off what he owed to the prince.

The village hired craftsmen and other people to do the work, and they could give them grain and oil, and they wanted it.

"I remembered something again." Zhu Wentian said and picked up the pen on the table, dipped it in ink, and began to draw.

"What's the matter?" The lieutenant naturally asked.

"Yingtianfu has a Shangyuan County and a Jiangning County, and Jiangning County has a Jiangning Town, which is to the south.

In Dangtu County, Taiping Province, there is a quarry rock in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and I drew it on the east side of the quarry rock.

There is an iron mine here, open-air, you can dig whatever you want, you can dig it any way, and you can't dig it for a hundred years.

At the same time, a place with iron ore is associated with copper ore, Daming lacks copper, I marked it, sent someone to dig it, and guaranteed it.

As for how to refine, they will, they don't need us, let's teach them the steelmaking converter in the village, and they will make steel if they want to. ”

Zhu Wentian marked the Nanshan iron ore mine in Ma'anshan, and marked several iron and copper associated mines.

The chief listened to the casual digging, it couldn't be finished in a hundred years, plus copper or something, he asked suspiciously: "Hanhan, did you really just remember?" ”

"What's up? Captain, do you suspect the village guards? Zhu Wentian handed over the paper.

"How dare I! I'm doubting myself, I'm going to follow the drawing, you get out of the way. ”

The chief squeezed Han Han away, sat down to paint, and the original manuscript had to be kept in the ancestral hall.

"It turns out that there is no good explosives, and it is easy to have problems with black powder that is not good enough to explode mines.

Black powder is susceptible to moisture, and when the time comes, it will not explode when it is lit, and it will become a squib, and when you go over to look at it, it will boom and explode again.

The same is to make a hole and put in yellow powder and black powder, and the power of the explosion is different. ”

Zhu Wentian explained, it's not that he didn't say it before, it's meaningless.

If there was no yellow powder in the Rouge River, more than 10,000 people would have died after the completion of the repair in history, and many people were actually malnourished and exhausted.

Chisel a hole in the stone, put a little gunpowder is enough, put hemp and tung oil, must be chiseled big enough, and then ignited, and wait for the red to splash water.

At this time, if the foot slips, the person may fall on the red-hot stone, not to mention the immediate scalding to death, and the infection after the injury will also kill the person.

"Okay, Hanhan, you rest, I'll go find His Royal Highness King Qin." After finishing the painting, the chief blew it, and folded the Hanhan one in his arms.

He went outside, turned around, and didn't see Zhu Zhang.

"Where is His Royal Highness King Qin?" He asked Zhu Taiyi.

"Say that the canal is open, bring a lot of vegetables from the greenhouse back to the palace to celebrate." Zhu Taiyi knew the situation.

"It's time to celebrate, stir-fry two good dishes at noon, and sell a box lunch with cabbage and tofu soup." The lieutenant chief was not in a hurry, and he was also ready to celebrate.

So at noon, Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace sent an official meal of vegetables to the courtiers, and the ministers were moved.

They already knew that the greenhouses in Xiaqiu Village could grow vegetables, and Fuhua Lou was always publicizing.

Tomorrow, the first day of the lunar month, fresh cucumbers, eggplants and other dishes will be sold, and the menu will spread, and a cucumber scrambled egg will cost 500 yuan.

The key is that it is limited, only 50 servings a day, and when it is sold out, it is gone, so you can only order other dishes.

In the summer, the same plate of eggs and scrambled cucumbers in Fuhua Building cost only 50 yuan. Well! This doesn't seem to be cheap, but who makes the house a Fuhua Building!

The officials ate the winter cucumber today, and it felt fragrant when they smelled it, so they should rub it and dip it in the sauce.

……

"Cabbage tofu soup? Shopkeeper, where did you get the cabbage? Aren't they all dried vegetables soaked and cooked? ”

In the Danqing lunch shop, people who eat Sanwu Wen box lunch found the soup, and some people were surprised.

"The Rouge Gang Canal between Shijiu Lake and Qinhuai River is navigable, and in order to celebrate the appearance of the Rouge River, our store provides a bowl of cabbage tofu soup, which is limited."

The chief smiled and introduced the situation.

"What does that have to do with your store?" Others were puzzled.

"They are from Xiaqiu Village, and the Huangchi River next to Xiaqiu Village is connected to Shijiu Lake, so they can go back quickly by taking the new river."

The people who always eat here understand and give answers on the side.

"That's hello."

"Congratulations!"

The others said yes.

"Add one more dish and rice today." Li Changyi was happy and didn't make money anymore.

The others boasted again, and this was a benefit, and they were all happy.

Everyone was eating, and someone ran over: "Captain, we are here, we have come by boat from the village by new waterway." ”

Xiao Qi from Xiaqiu Village came running, followed by a person from the back kitchen who had stayed here, to help lead the way.

"What about people? Quick, pick it up with me. "The chief knows that everyone will not come empty-handed, and they will definitely bring things.

"At the wharf, I came to report first, there are no other boats on the road, just our village, the first one, I made a flag, wrote Qiu Village, and the people on the wharf surrounded us and asked."

Xiao Qi shouted excitedly, obviously saying that when it was bombed today, the village prepared in advance, and as soon as the bombing was completed, it came by boat.

This is the explosion late, otherwise it would have arrived earlier.
