On July 17, accompanied by the sound of music, the team of the crown prince Zhu Biao and the king of Qin Zhu Fan set off.

Everyone got on the boat, walked across the Yangtze River, went ashore on the opposite side, first to Jiangpu, and then to Chuzhou, so that they could go to Fengyang Mansion, which was suspended.

After passing the central capital, continue to the northwest, to Henan, from Henan to Shaanxi, and continue to the north into the grassland.

When you go to Henan, you can still take a look at the coal mine and the place where magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is produced.

The vanguard team set off yesterday and will have a lot of things in place in advance.

The people of Xiaqiu Village were in the same boat as Zhu Biao and Zhu Zhang, as well as the palace maids and eunuchs of the Prince's Mansion and the Qin Wang's Mansion.

They set off in the morning and disembarked at Jiangpu at noon to assemble the team.

The people who arrived yesterday are serving meals at the moment, and everyone else eats stews, and the prince has two stir-fried dishes here.

A stir-fried meat with celery, a scrambled egg with cucumber, and the rice is the same.

Zhu Biao took a bite and nodded, it's okay, it was made by the people from Guanglu Temple.

"There is no need for soup, the stewed dish is half a bowl, and more soup is added." Zhu Biao saw that someone was still going to make soup, so he stopped him.

The stew is the eggplant stewed with meat, because it is an iron pot, the eggplant stewed is black in color, and there are slices of meat in it, which is not fishy to eat.

The people of Xiaqiu Village ate the same meals as Zhu Biao, and also stewed vegetables as soup, and took out the side dishes made by the village themselves to share with Zhu Biao and Zhu Zhang.

The big jar pickles brought by the team are produced by Jubiqi, and the materials are not so good because they are cheap.

"We're going to spend a lot of money along the way! At least not let the team run out of meat to eat. ”

Zhu Fan was accustomed to settling accounts, and the entire team had more than 30,000 people, 20,000 troops, and the rest were craftsmen and miscellaneous workers.

I really can't send more manpower, and the big army that can fight is in the north!

Ying Tianfu needs manpower to protect again, and it is already good to be able to draw 20,000 people for Zhu Biao.

Waiting for the 100,000 people who came back from the captives to arrive in Yingtianfu, Zhu Yuanzhang could be at peace in his heart.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, in fact, you can reduce some of the losses." The chief soaked the rice with stewed eggplant, took a sip, and made a sound.

"Do you want to give meat? This meat is still bacon, and nothing else can be preserved, so it is not good to disturb the people along the way. ”

Zhu Fan shook his head, he didn't have the strength to go without meat, and everyone didn't go to endure hardship in the past.

It's really because of the problem of food that people get sick and produce non-combat attrition, then they are wronged.

The chief shook his head: "The meat is eaten as usual, we can buy some things with the local people on the way, and sell them in other places."

Looking for the county of the state capital, so that you can make a little profit, and no one collects taxes when we buy and sell.

The specialties are different in different places, and if you find them, you can have a price difference. ”

"What are the specialties of Jiangpu?" Zhu Fan never knew what good things were in this place.

"This ...... Not counting here, its specialties are all stones, glass-burning, cement-burning, brick-burning ceramics, and cannot be taken away to sell.

However, you can open a kiln here, or you can pick up the stone and ship it to other places to sell, and our smelter needs something here.

Although we can't make money on the road, it's okay to help Daming in the future. ”

The lieutenant thought about it and found that there was really nothing in the local area that could be handled.

There are a lot of medicinal materials in Jiangpu, and there are many kinds of snakes, and the medicinal materials are sold in other places, so it is better to send them directly to the other side of the river.

"Is there a good stone in Jiangpu that can be used to burn colored glass?" Zhu Biao ate a few bites on the side, listened to the two of them, and now he also asked.

"There's a place called Dama Mountain, where stone burns glass best." The lieutenant nodded.

"Write it down and arrange for someone to send it to the palace." Zhu Biao didn't want to give up good things.

Some people immediately went back to deliver the news, but they didn't bother to finish the meal, so they had to spread the news to the other side of the river, and then come back to eat.

After everyone finished eating, they continued to rush in the big sun, but Zhu Biao sat in the car and was not sunburned.

In front, you need to go over the mountains and forests, and then cross the river.

Before dark, the team arrived in Chuzhou, Zhu Biao did not enter the city, and camped outside the city.

The officials of Chuzhou received the order and ran over to see the prince.

Zhu Biao asked about the people's livelihood and economic situation in Chuzhou, including the construction of rivers and embankments here.

There are many rivers in Chuzhou, and there are a bunch of large and small rivers, so there are many fish.

Zhu Wentian took his friends to cook in the kitchen outside, and told the people of Guanglu Temple to leave the food of the prince and King Qin alone.

There is a lot of fish here, so naturally fish is used as the main dish.

Zhu Fan watched others do it on the side, and said a few words to the chief from time to time.

"Zhu Lichang, what special capacity is there to buy and sell here in Chuzhou?" Zhu Fan remembered the things mentioned before about receiving goods all the way and selling them elsewhere.

"Chrysanthemums, this year's harvest will not be available, it will take nearly two months, and the locals like to use it to make snacks, such as chrysanthemum cakes, and also soak in water and wine.

If you want to collect it, you can collect the chrysanthemums dried in the people's homes and take them to other places to sell.

At the same time, there are many fish and shrimp here, and if the people have the means and someone provides a market, they can make dried fish and dried shrimp.

In addition, from now on to the north, there is a river called Chi River, and there is a kind of fish called Fish in it, and the locals call it Qiaozubai.

The meat of this fish is tender, and it is a good thing to eat, in fact, it is also found in other rivers, such as the steaming one you see now.

This fish is made into dried fish and can be eaten at any time, and it is mass-produced in Mezan, where there is a local Kayu-in. ”

The lieutenant obviously memorized all kinds of situations on the road, and Zhu Fan told him when he asked.

"Then let's harvest last year's dried chrysanthemums? See if you can sell it? There is no need for fish, other places may not recognize it, we know it ourselves, and we will find a way to send people across the river to catch it in the future. ”

Zhu Fan decided to make a deal first to see if there were any chrysanthemums in the people's homes.

Zhu Biao also finished talking to the officials, and the officials were inconvenient to disturb and went back to the city.

When they left, Zhu Fan called them to stop and asked them to put out a notice and post it early tomorrow morning, telling the merchants and the people that those who have chrysanthemums can sell chrysanthemums.

He deliberately emphasized that it was for sale, not for it, and he didn't need the help of people in Chuzhou to collect it.

Officials should make sure that they do not forcibly expropriate the people's things.

Everyone eats, others still eat stewed vegetables, and the people in Xiaqiu Village here eat stir-fried vegetables and steamed fish, and the rice is replaced by japonica rice.

"It's delicious, it's really good, it's tender and fresh, why didn't you know it before? It's a pity that the people are still poor with such a good thing. ”

Zhu Fan ate the plum fish, praised it, and felt sorry for the local people.

"In fact, you can turn this fish into a tribute fish, so that the reputation spreads, other people will taste it, make it into dried fish and sell it easily, and even the price is several times more expensive than the original, and some people want to buy it."

Li Chang came up with the idea to turn this kind of thing into a tribute and give it to the emperor to eat, and others would think about it! That's so delicious.

"Captain, my father doesn't want to work hard and lose money." Zhu Biao also likes to eat this fish, and he plans to ask people to fish here in the future.

"Let's teach the people to breed a lot! If you raise too much, what is the point given to the palace? The lieutenant proposed a follow-up approach.
