Chapter 525: Lack of Politically Prioritized Resources (Second Update)
The herdsmen were at ease, and when they knew that the Ming prince and the Qin king were coming, they were most afraid of being driven away or aborting the exchange.
At the moment, not only do they not rush people, but they also help to see a doctor, and those who are sick do not spend money on medicine.
Once naturalized, he will prove that he is a Ming person, and he will not drive him away.
Some people took their sheepskins, cowhides, horse skins, rabbit skins and other skins into the city to be presented to the crown prince and the king of Qin.
However, it was temporarily stopped, Zhu Biao and Zhu Fan did not think about what to return the gift, the evening party was very important, and they had to focus on it.
The people of Xiaqiu Village returned to their residences and everyone took a nap, and the chief woke up and complained to Han Han: "The general who fought the war, how can he not know how to appease the herdsmen? Replace me, I repair the road outside. β
"I just heard that they used the fur from the family to contribute, think about it, what kind of gift to return, the fur is useful."
Zhu Wentian talked about another thing, he wanted things from herdsmen.
"Hanhan, you didn't listen to me?" The lieutenant was upset.
"People are better than you, and they know that such things have to be left to the prince to deal with, so that they can appear close to the people, if there is no matter for the prince's northern tour, they would have taken action earlier."
Zhu Wentian glanced at Li Chang, you are not suitable for officialdom.
"Huh?" The chief was stunned: "Oh my God! Sure enough, as you said, the heart of playing tactics is dirty. β
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, the political significance is greater than the practical significance, where the last emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is located, the Prince of the Ming Dynasty came to occupy it.
It represents the conquest of the Northern Yuan and the conquest of those ethnic groups of the Northern Yuan.
Because this is where Genghis Khan, Ogedei, Guiyou, and MΓΆngke used to be.
As for Kublai Khan, most of his lives were in Beiping, but when he was gone, his descendants ran back to Helin, and they continued to lose it. β
When Zhu Wentian talked about the history of He Lin and the arrangement of the Ming Emperor, he didn't simply come over and take a turn.
"Does it mean that the road is difficult, and it means that the son of the Ming Emperor can fight in all directions?" The lieutenant went along the train of thought.
"With this consideration, it is equally important to build a fort and stabilize the local people's hearts, so we have to guard it for a while.
The only problem is that we followed the team out, and along the way we drove the economic development of many places.
Our credit is actually greater, and we have sent a lot of strategies, including books on how to become an official.
I believe Zhu Yuanzhang, oh, His Majesty never thought that it would be like this, let alone the civil and military officials.
They thought that we came with us, and we belonged to taking care of the prince and the king of Qin, and they looked down on people. β
"yes, yes! We like to hear this, so what are you doing with your fur? The lieutenant was really happy.
"Don't do much, make hats, dogskin hats and dogskin gloves, which can be called big-eared toadskin hats and mittens.
The position of the two ears of the hat can be lowered, and then the ears can be wrapped and the chin is covered, so that you are not afraid of freezing.
The gloves are one thumb, and the other four fingers are put into one place, and the fingers are not separated, which has a good warmth effect.
In fact, normally when you wear that kind of glove, the whole hand will be clenched into a fist inside, and the thumb will be retracted.
When you are working, you will stretch it out, so that your hands will not be so cold, and there is a rope between the two gloves, which is not easy to lose. β
Zhu Wentian said, picked up the charcoal pen and drew two more pictures on the paper, and drew two more after speaking.
The chief listened and watched: "Yes, I'm afraid of freezing my hands and feet, freezing my ears and chin, and other places don't hurt so much." Why are they called dog skin hats and dog skin gloves? β
"Because people who are not hunters and nomads can't get skins to make clothes, and dogs are best raised, and they all eat! When needed, they are killed, the flesh is eaten, and the skin is used to make things. β
"The dogs in our village are not allowed to eat now, we still have to keep the fertilizer, the dogs take care of the house, and the food is not bad!" The lieutenant stressed the current situation of dog breeding in the village.
In the past, when I was poor, how others raised it, and the village was like that.
When you are rich, you are not allowed to eat, it is too dirty, and usually the leftovers are given to the dogs, and the wheat bran is added to it.
There were also poultry intestines, which the village did not eat either, and cooked them and fed them to the dogs. Occasionally, dogs can be given a large bone to grind their teeth.
"Yes, therefore, it is called a dogskin hat and a dogskin glove, and when we say it, we can change the name, and it can be made of fur or cotton.
As for shoes, there is no good way, and if it snows again, what shoes you wear will be frozen for an hour outside.
Need exercise, walk back and forth, or stomp your feet. The shoes have to be a big circle, not on the toes.
The local herdsmen have a lot of wool, making felt socks and felt insoles, and the feet of the four and two wear four or five shoes, and an extra layer of fur is glued to them.
Standing still like this, being able to hold on for an extra hour is very heavy. β
Zhu Wentian painted shoes again, one was like a small boot, two inches higher, and the other was a boot, up to the knee.
The latter one is used to wade through the snow to avoid snow falling in, and the soles of both shoes are thick.
"Yes, yes, yes, it should be so, I looked at the deerskin before I saw you, you looked at me?" The governor remembered something.
"It's the skin of a reindeer, it's hardy, it's fur like other deer, it's able to pull a plow, it's endurance, and it's okay to walk on difficult terrain, including snowy woods.
He must have been bought from someone else's hands, and we have the opportunity to buy reindeer and breed them when the time comes, so that we will have a good helper to transport things from here to the northeast in winter. β
Zhu Wentian explained the situation, the deer skin is not sika deer, red deer, moose, that skin has no place for the head, only the main torso, and there are no limbs.
"It's better than any other deer? Can you deceive like a wild donkey? "The chief thought of being able to help transport things, and then he thought of the wild donkey.
"Don't lie, someone has raised it, the deer is not good or bad, we have to raise red deer, cut the antler velvet, otherwise how can there be so many sika deer for you to cut?"
"Hmmm! Deer antler velvet is a medicinal material, raising deer can also eat meat, there are deer skins, and the grassland has grassland things, can we raise them in our village? β
"The summer in the north is as hot as the northeast, more than 30 degrees above zero, and they can live, and it is that temperature south of the Yangtze River.
Moreover, the grass in the south grows more vigorously, see if there is a chance to get a few hundred heads back to raise, make a good number, and cannot be mixed, if the deer in different places affect the genes, it will degenerate. β
"Okay! Later, what will you use to exchange fur with them? The lieutenant turned the subject back.
I can't continue to listen, otherwise I will run to other aspects, and if I can't learn, I'm about to have dinner.
Zhu Wentian continued to draw: "It is best to exchange iron tools, knives, arrowheads, iron pots, iron drills for nailing tents, shovels and other things.
However, we urgently need fur to make things to ensure that our people go to mining without delay.
Let's hurry up and refine the oil that has been shipped, and give them some candles and petrolatum for lighting and skin care.
Oil, the local oil ...... No wow! There is gold, and the rivers in the mountains here have placer gold, but unfortunately the water far away cannot quench the thirst of the near. β
Zhu Wentian frowned slightly, there is no oil here and around, and the place where there is oil is next to the grasslands in the northeast and south.
It can't be mined at all, it's buried too deep, unlike Yanchang County, where oil comes out on the ground, and drilling a well can be pumped faster.
