Chapter 300 Morale is high and investment is expensive (second update, monthly pass, recommended ticket, thank you!) )
"General Rabbit, Rabbit, I don't mean you, it's the rabbit that the scout who rotated back to eat hunted on the return trip."
Xu Da's personal soldiers shouted at the door, you can add food to the generals, there is really a lot of meat on the grassland.
"Bring it in." Xu Da frowned, then stretched out again, he remembered that this was not the time to discuss the military situation, but the time to eat.
Otherwise, people from outside should never be allowed to disturb easily.
The pro-soldier came in backwards, propped up the curtain with his back, and then turned around, he carried two big rabbits in one hand: "General, four is enough, right?" ”
"How many were you hunted?" Lan Yu asked with a smile.
The pro-soldier shook his head: "General Lan, I don't know, there are too many people, and some people directly bring back other military formations."
Our Chinese army came back and threw down one hundred and thirty of them, as well as five roe deer.
The brothers who came back said that the others were too big to bring back, so they didn't hunt. ”
The soldier put down the four rabbits as he spoke, and when he saw that no one asked again, he turned around and walked out.
"You have the rest of the can." Xu Da handed over the cans he should have divided with the bamboo tube.
"General, eat it! Oh! I'll take it, thanks to the general. ”
The pro-soldier wanted to refuse, but when he saw the general's glare, he ran over with a smile and took the bamboo tube and ran out.
A general next to him squatted next to the rabbit and looked at it: "Arrow wound, no firearms, it seems that when I ran out to investigate the situation, I wanted to come back and bring the prey." This arrow is accurate! ”
"Eat well, naturally have the strength to train, the cavalry has two stones of monthly rations, there is money in the palace, and in addition to two stones of rice, meat is given.
After the establishment of the Daming Naval Division, he led the people to fish at sea, inspected the Japanese Kou, lured the fish with light, and obtained a lot, salted and dried, and sent more to the main battle army of all parties.
The soldiers ate salted fish, there was no shortage of salt, they ate meat, and they recovered quickly after training, and even before the deserters were enough.
His Majesty sent things to the sergeant's home, and the morale of the Ming army was in full swing. ”
Another reason why the general said it was that he ate well and gave more, plus new firearms and equipment, and the old firearms were renovated and upgraded.
Soldiers are reluctant to desert when they find that they have a higher chance of winning a battle.
He was also worried that he would die in battle, so he trained hard.
And with new alcohol and suture methods, there will be fewer injuries and infections and deaths, and there will be less fear of war, is the enemy not afraid of death?
Lan Yu was not busy eating, took a knife, and came over to skillfully handle the rabbit.
He said while peeling the rabbit: "Xiaqiu Village is worthy of being the first village in the world that His Majesty personally gave three archways and the pillars of the Ming Dynasty.
Now in the court, the affairs of Xiaqiu Village are no longer a secret.
It is estimated that some people are worried about it, but they can't intervene.
In order to protect the village, His Majesty even opened the Donghua Gate and Chaoyang Gate constantly, and built another city around Xiaqiu Village outside. ”
After Lan Yu finished speaking, the skin of a rabbit was processed, and the speed was so fast.
He didn't need to dig out the rabbit's internal organs, and when it was delivered, it was emptied, and it was estimated that it was fried and eaten.
Along the way, everyone found that the offal that animals can eat is not as good as being fried fragrantly, and the taste is better if you fry it for a while.
Xu Da was also dealing with a rabbit next to him: "The rabbits on the grassland are so fat without waiting for autumn, remember to leave the things that can be used for medicine on the road."
Whether it is used in the team for conquest or to help carry the horses, salt is indispensable.
The method of drying salt in this beach is still promoted and provided by Xiaqiu Village.
Let people go to see the salt pans in Fujian first, and then improve them, so they will dry a lot.
Take the products of the sea, and reduce the loss of the people, the price of salt is less than half of the original.
In the past, the salt given to the soldiers' homes was only two catties a month, but now they are given ten catties.
Add salted dried fish and an extra stone of food, and when you are a deserter, you will have nothing. ”
After Xu Da finished speaking, the other two rabbits were also processed, and he instructed the outside: "Come and take it away, go outside to roast, just find us a job to do!" ”
The pro-soldier came in with a basin with a smile on his face: "The rabbit you handle yourself is delicious, and it just so happens that this skin is cleaned up with grass ash first." ”
He put the rabbit and the skin in a basin and brought it out, and another soldier came in to bring water and let everyone wash their hands.
The four men who cleaned up the rabbit rubbed their hands with soap, washed them, and sat back to eat.
Since he had set up camp in advance today, he did not plan to march again, and the scouts were released fifty miles to visit back and forth.
A general ate a bite of rice and tasted a little canned food: "The extra rice was bought in exchange for trading with the Yiren in the palace." ”
……
"Let's try the honey rock sugar rice cake sent by Xiaqiu Village, the weather is hot, and it is easier to suffer from heat stroke if you lack sugar, remember to drink more water."
Zhu Yuanzhang is in a good mood today, he just got the battle report from earlier, and everything is going well.
Then Xiaqiu Village sent a large amount of rice cakes, which were glued with honey and rock sugar.
The honey was the honey that was sold to the shopkeeper Song and others, and it was sold for 60 wen and bought back for 30 wen.
Shopkeeper Song and the others took the money back to Zhejiang and laid it out according to the method taught by Xiaqiu Village, otherwise the money on hand would not be enough.
When they left, they bought a thousand pieces of soap for 400 yuan a piece, and as long as they sold it well, they could recover a lot of losses.
Wait for the winter to transport things to Yingtianfu to sell, so that the lost money will be earned, and there will be a surplus.
As soon as there was a lot of honey, it was borrowed from the palace, and Xiaqiu Village began to make honey snacks.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, he rewarded the eunuchs and palace maids.
Seeing that it was about to reach the solar term of Lixia, it was hot day by day, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want the eunuch palace maid to die due to the heat.
There used to be no conditions, and life in the palace was tight, and this year a lot of soap, rock candy, glass mirrors and music boxes were sold.
and the fooled Yiren who bought bamboo sunflower and white fungus, and in less than four months, they earned more than one million yuan.
This is still the result of controlling shipments, and some of them go back and come back with a lot of things.
According to this calculation, the financial income of the palace this year can be three million, and the Yiren should come on, quickly bring things out to sell, and then go to Daming to change.
Zhu Yuanzhang watched the palace maid and eunuch kneel down to thank him, waved his hand, felt the coolness emanating from the ice basin next to him, and muttered to himself: "Have the five thousand spleen bees been divided?" ”
……
"More than 100 boxes, less 30, according to the number of spleens, first send someone over to build an awning, everything is ready, let's carry the beehives."
The things that Zhu Yuanzhang remembered were busy arranging for the lieutenant chief.
The bees began to collect honey again, but it was too dense, and the surrounding honey sources were limited.
Xiaqiu Village had to take out sugar to replenish the bees and send people to find a place.
There must be a water source nearby, and then it is convenient to build an awning, and there must be a nectar source.
By spreading the bees apart, the village can save a lot of sugar and harvest more honey.
"Hanhan, shave me another bowl of ice." Zhu Fan was also here, and he felt the scenery around him shaking.
Zhu Wentian shaved ice under the shed, which was present in the Song Dynasty, and shaved the ice into the end and poured juice on it.
Unlike the Song Dynasty, Zhu Wentian did not take a planer, he asked the village blacksmith workshop to make a hand-cranked shaved ice machine.
Using this is cleaner and more hygienic than holding a planer, and the key is that it is not so tiring.
The shaved ice was not brought from the north, it was taken from the river, and he now made it from saltpeter.
When it is made, it is not completely solidified, so it is put in the ice cellar to exchange heat with other river ice, and then taken out and planed.
