Chapter 529: Long Nights and Short Days (First Update)
"It's not like this, it's just the prairie, it's here, right? We picked the seeds and sent them to our fiefdom to plant. ”
Zhu Fan disagreed, it was too far, how to transport the planted things? There weren't many people there.
"Indeed, I was in a hurry, gold is useless, there is a river nearby, and I can dig out placer gold, and I can get a few thousand taels a year."
The lieutenant said that he was in a hurry, and by the way, he would like to talk about the gold.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Fan didn't react, obviously a few thousand taels of gold was too little.
Xu Da and the others are interested, a few thousand taels a year, not only a few thousand taels, depending on how many people are needed to find it.
If a person has ten taels of gold a year, it is equivalent to fifty taels of silver, fifty taels, and it is bitter, and it is enough to work for five years.
If you buy a shop for 250 yuan and rent it out, you will have more than 10 yuan of rent a year, do you still have to work by yourself?
If you are lucky, get a few times of dog's head gold, buy land and real estate, as long as your children and grandchildren are not defeated, you will not worry!
A group of people ate this delicious fish stew with different thoughts, and the fishing continued, extending upstream little by little.
The distance that can be fished upstream is short, and it will be a few hundred miles to the source, and the more the source, the higher the terrain.
If there are no lakes upstream, it is obvious that the water life will decrease as the terrain increases.
Like Luoshui and Bashui, the more fish, shrimp and crabs at the source, the less fish, shrimp and crabs in the lower reaches, and the downstream river channel is wide, especially in the slow-flowing area, there are many fish and shrimp, and there are many mussels and snails.
"So the water and sand are like the upper reaches of a river, especially the waterfall area, which is naturally formed.
Imitating nature, people use sandbags and other tools to compress the river inward, so that the amount of water passing through the river remains the same, and the passage channel is narrowed, forcing it to raise the water level and increase the flow rate.
The water is slow and the sand accumulates, and the sand is less than the water is urgent. Therefore, gentle rivers and lakes are easy to raise fish, and rivers with long river basins are easy to raise fish.
For example, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River no longer care about the rapid flow of water, and the basin is too long, and it is impossible for fish and shrimp to be washed into the sea all the time. ”
The lieutenant took the opportunity to continue to popularize science, not in vain, and enjoyed it.
Others also enjoyed listening to it and learned it, so it is, it's very simple, it's just that no one has explained it to themselves like this before.
The governor went on to talk about the question of which bank the river invaded because of the trend of the terrain and the rotation of the earth.
Talking about horses like to go around in circles from left to right, and talking about the hairstyle of the Northern Yuan people, why it is different from the normal hairstyle of the Ming Dynasty.
Because people have to ride horses and shoot arrows, there are so many hairs, so long, and they are still on both sides, and the wind blows to affect the vision.
The generals soon became elementary school students, obediently listening, they are all knowledge! The master is powerful, and he taught it to the lieutenant chief.
People are different from each other, some people see the highest, and some people see the inside.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Fan naturally look at the chief, needless to say, the master is guaranteed to be awesome, and the chief can learn, which is the reason why his father gave him the same Jinshi background.
The whole village of Xiaqiu is studying hard, can the children of Xiaqiu Village ignore them when they are able to treat people, direct buildings, and make explosives and firearms?
Saying that they will be these are high-level people who are pointing behind their backs, and they are powerful, but they are not powerful.
Are you sure? ? What about calves? A female doll who can independently make nitroglycerin explosives is treated as invisible, and thus despised?
The sergeants who were fishing didn't have so many thoughts, their hearts were full of joy and joy, how could they not finish the nets?
Someone stood on the ice and weighed a basket of fish with a hook and scale, weighed the records, piled them up in a wooden shelf, and let the people on the shore drag them up along the wooden shelf.
There are craftsmen here, and it is too easy to fight on the ice from the bank to the river, and there is no difficulty.
Then he poured water on this slide-like shelf, froze it with ice, and hung things, and the steam engine buzzed there, and a rope became a winch, and it continued to be lifted up with the things and taken off.
The people of Xiaqiu Village have been helping with the work, only stopping occasionally to take a break.
"Brother, are you freezing your feet? My feet hurt. Zhu Fan stood and watched others work, and felt cold.
"The same, are you cold? The lieutenant chief ......" Zhu Biao nodded, talked to the lieutenant chief, turned his head, and the lieutenant ran up to command, walking back and forth, and sometimes helping to drag it.
"Second brother, let's go! Work, the lazier you are in this north, the colder it gets. Zhu Biao understood.
He took his younger brother to go up to help, and sure enough, it didn't get so cold after a while.
"Captain! Why don't you tell us? After Zhu Fan warmed up, he complained.
"Because we believe that His Royal Highness King Qin will not freeze himself to death stupidly, it is said! There was a landlord in the north, pretending to be careless, and locked a hired man in a barn.
The next day was the day to pay the wages, he didn't want to give, the hired worker froze to death, he said it wasn't intentional, just lose some money.
The next day he opened the door to the barn and found the hired man alive, shirtless and sweating profusely.
The hired workers are cold! Just push that mill in the barn, and just survive. ”
The chief told a folk story, as long as you have endurance and can bear hunger, you are not afraid of the cold when you work.
"We don't believe what you said, but now we are really not cold, we have to change our clothes when we go back, and we are sweating!"
Zhu Fan said he didn't believe it, and pushed the grinding all night? The donkey can't bear it either, wow!
"The best way to fresh fish is to steam, is the tempeh sauce we bring enough?"
Li Chang didn't speak out about this kind of true and false thing, he thought about the problem of how to eat the fish when it was caught.
"Enough, but not much, mainly to suppress the fishy smell, as well as dried green onions and ginger.
Ah! Why is Lin so poor! What do you want, where does the Northern Yuan Emperor stay?
Changed to Yingtianfu in Nanjing, do we still have to worry about food? Our workshops are built on the south bank of the Qinhuai River. ”
The more Zhu Fan lacked things here, the more he missed his days in Nanjing.
At this moment, he finally felt the huge gap between being able to master everything and not being able to control it, and it was better to be in Jubiqi!
Li Chang smiled: "His Royal Highness King Qin, when the time comes, we will open Jubiqi here, and there will be a department store." ”
"Okay! You have said that there is gold and silver here, and the placer gold can be fished along the river, let us fish, we don't have that mind, let's exchange it with the people they fish. ”
Zhu Fan regained his good mood, there is no problem in doing business, it is simple.
Before dusk came, everyone went back with the fish they had caught.
Obviously, it was going to cost torches today, and when the prince didn't come, everyone changed it to two meals a day, with short days and long nights.
I went to bed as soon as it got dark, and two meals a day were enough.
Now that the winter solstice has just passed, the days are still short and the nights are long, and the daytime is only four hours.
This is the position of 47 degrees north latitude, and at the winter solstice, it is this day and night, and then the days get longer and longer, and by the summer solstice, the days here are very long.
If you continue to the north, to the extreme, it is the polar day and night, and the day is late and half a year later, which can be worry-free.
