Chapter 367: Hearing the Rumors of Midsummer, I Feel Cold (Part 1)
Zhu Yuanzhang took the paper, but his eyes were on the position of the long man's arms, as if he wanted to know how much paper was in it.
It doesn't matter if you're long, it's normal to carry things by yourself, because you haven't memorized them, and you haven't said that you have your own ideas.
Zhu Yuanzhang put his eyes back on the paper in his hand, which had pictures and words on it.
Judging from the drawing skills of the picture, it is obvious that it was done by the chief, each picture represents a thing, and the characters correspond to the picture, including the general names of various places.
It's because I'm afraid that people will get it wrong, because the same thing has different names.
Some names have the word 'medicine' written next to them to prove that the substance can be used as medicine.
"These things, you have them somewhere else?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw the familiar, and found that there were also other places.
Li Changhui: "Yes, including a piece on the grassland, the former Yuan Dadu, Hebei and other places.
Some of these other places may be more effective, while others are better produced in the Jurchens.
I used to want to exchange things with them, but the situation was unstable at that time, and they might not be willing. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang understood as soon as he heard it, not that the Jurchen was unwilling, but that Daming didn't want to add extra trouble.
Now that the victory of the Ming Dynasty is in sight, he can deal with the Jurchens in turn, so he can send people to manage the mutual market over there.
He put down the paper for a moment and hurried to eat.
Everyone didn't make a sound for a while, this noodle was easy to eat into the stomach, and there was no more sucking.
After the meal, the children and women chatted with the children and women of Xiaqiu Village, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, plus the chief and Hanhan, found a pavilion to sit down.
On the table was a pile of dried fruits, fruits, and tea.
"Yichang, where is the best place to choose the market?" Zhu Yuanzhang ate so fast because there are many things to understand.
"Dingliao Duwei, Shenyang Road." The lieutenant named the place.
"Fig." Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and chose to find a map.
The lieutenant didn't move, there was a map in the village, but he wouldn't take it out, and opening it more often would increase wear and tear.
Someone ran away and went to find a map.
The lieutenant chief himself said: "Originally, I wanted to exchange markets with the Jurchens in the place where we exchanged markets with Goryeo, but considering the issue of administrative jurisdiction, it would be more appropriate to set up another place." ”
"Are you worried about the officials in the Goryeo exchange market?" Zhu Yuanzhang's first thought was this.
"It doesn't matter, the officials are greedy for ink, and when the time comes, the officials will be arrested, and all the money will be taken out.
Having a market with both sides in the same place will increase the connection between the Jurchens and Goryeo.
They now have a lot of trade with Goryeo, and they can't be asked to associate too much.
The Jurchens did not cultivate many fields, and the traditional custom of multiple tribes living together was still continued.
Starting from the Bohai Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty, their various tribes formed a different division of labor.
At present, the boundaries of the Jurchen division of labor are blurred, and the cultivation has increased, but they still need Goryeo grain.
At the same time, the Jurchens have limited access to salt, and maintain the operation method of boiling the sea for salt......"
Li Chang talked about the historical evolution and life mode of Northeast China for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, including access to resources and so on.
The two listened carefully, comfortable, and liked to listen to people talk about this, which was Zeng Lu's ability.
When you have nothing to do, listen to it, you can understand many things, and the key is not boring.
When he spoke, he brought some of the Jurchen's living habits, such as sledding, deer-drawn climbing plows, and how to walk through the woods in winter.
How to trap rabbits, trap pheasants, defend against wolves, hunt tigers and bear blind in the snow.
Listening to his words, I feel that I also live there, fighting against heaven and earth, tenacious and unyielding.
"It turns out that life is not easy for people there, and I really don't know how to survive the winter."
Zhu Biao sighed that he was cultivated since he was a child, and he also suffered some hardships.
For example, when you are in a hurry, you have to get down and walk with your feet when you walk in a car, and then practice martial arts and learn simple life skills.
Hardship lies in having assistance, if you really can't do it, you will be taken care of.
The Jurchens endure hardship as part of life, and perhaps they don't feel bitter, everyone lives like that.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, there are three treasures in the local area, ginseng, fur, and ula grass.
Since ancient times, ginseng can be exchanged for money with others, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty.
Fur refers not only to mink, but also to the skins of all animals, which are used to make clothes for warmth.
Ula grass is a very hard grass, and when you beat it hard, it can become soft and not easy to break.
You can put ura grass in your shoes to keep you warm, or you can make mats and covers.
The local cotton planting is not good, it is not suitable, otherwise it is warmer to wear cotton clothes and quilts.
When it snows heavily, if their hands hurt from freezing, they will grab a handful of snow and rub it vigorously with both hands.
After kneading the snow into water, your hands will be warm, and you can see the heat rising up, so you should quickly wipe your hands clean and do not leave water.
The clothes are lifted, the hands are stuffed into the arms to cover the hands, some people are careless, their ears are frozen for a long time, they fall off when they touch them, and there are ...... feet"
The lieutenant continued as if he had returned from the Jurchens.
Today is obviously the summer solstice, and the weather is hot, Zhu Yuanzhang and his son actually felt cold when they heard the chief talk about the situation in Jurchen winter.
At this time, the map was delivered, a big box, and all the maps of the Ming Dynasty were there.
"This is the third set of maps of the Ming Dynasty, and in recent days, I have copied another set according to the last time." Zhu Yuanzhang introduced.
He collected the second set, but he actually wanted to collect the one in Xiaqiu Village.
The lieutenant opened the box, looked at the number on the outside of the map scroll, and found the one from Dingliao Duwei.
Someone took the things off the table, wiped them carefully, and put them on the silk.
The map is unfolded on a table, and place names and rivers appear.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please look here, this place is Dingliao Duwei, extending in the northeast direction, Shenyang Road.
The river next to Shenyang Road is called Hunhe, Hunhe River to the west, connected to the clams, and confluence with the Liao River, called Sancha River, into the sea.
The sea is the Bohai Sea, and the wind and waves in the Bohai Sea are smaller than those outside, and the fleet can wait directly at the beach to pick up and drop off goods.
The goods there are loaded by small boats, which is more convenient than the land route, and the Shenyang Road as a whole has a hilly terrain.
If you transport it by land, you need to climb mountains and mountains, and it is easy to fall into snow holes in winter, and the roads are muddy and difficult to walk after rain in summer.
Changed to the location of the Goryeo market, the outlet to the sea is not in the Bohai Bay, and the wind and waves are difficult to control. ”
Li Chang's finger is drawn on the map, and the most important thing in choosing Shenyang Road is that you can take the waterway.
Moreover, Shenyang Road has been posted to the place controlled by the Jurchens now, and it is also convenient for the Jurchens.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the connected rivers: "Can the water of the river be turbulent? ”
"It's not as good as the Yangtze River, you don't need to pull the fiber, and you can sail with normal oars, sails, oars, and pennies.
There are a lot of fish in the water, and you can catch a bunch of them in the next net, and you can see large river mussels in the shallow water slow-flow area.
There is no danger going down the river, the boat is very well controlled, and the boatmen of the Yangtze River are over there, which can be said to be at ease. ”
By the way, the chief said that fish and mussels can be eaten.
