"The mountain material corresponds to the seed material, the seed material is the mountain material falling into the river, being washed by the water, the stone outside falls, revealing the jade inside, the general seed material is the most expensive, and the color is full."

The chief said that the difference between the materials, as for the mountain materials, of course, they didn't fall into the river.

"Where did it come from? Is the production large? Anqing reached out and touched the place where the window was opened.

"There was a long time ago, thousands of years ago, but because the population of the Northeast has always been small, they are all tribes, even when the Liao State was in the country, there was no large-scale mining.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the Jurchens also picked up some from the river and used them for trading.

That place is called Xiuyan County, and there is no place to Dingliao Duwei, which can be mined a lot, at least better than the current Lantian jade.

This jade is nephrite, which is easy to process, and the local mountain material is green, and the seed material is yellow and white.

Compared with Khotanese jade, Lantian jade, and Nanyang jade, it is not bad at all, and ordinary people can't afford it. ”

The chief continued to tell everyone about the age and origin, and compared it with other jade.

Zhu Fan also stepped forward to touch it: "This piece of jade is carved for my brother, since there is still there, it is all ours." Send troops over to defend it, and no one else is allowed to mine it casually. ”

At this moment, he didn't have the slightest idea of benefiting the people, jade should not be owned by ordinary people, and people can't carve it well with stones.

Zhu Wentian stepped forward, grabbed the jade, and prepared to go back and grind it slowly, first grinding off all the stones, and then looking at the shape, what should be carved into.

It is very troublesome to design, mainly in how to reduce the loss, such as some places can get a ring face, earrings, studs, hairpins.

If you can't just take out a bracelet for a piece of jade, you can throw it all away.

Seeing that such a large piece of jade was taken away, the officials looked at each other with depressed expressions.

In fact, they also want to help find good jade craftsmen to process, so that they may be able to get a little leftover.

It's a pity that they don't know where this jade came from, let alone other information, look at Zhu Lichang, open his mouth and introduce, how much did he learn?

……

In the afternoon, after eating, everyone strolled through the streets, and a large number of dried salted fish without heads were sold everywhere.

There were four locations in the city, as well as in the counties outside the city, and the people came to buy it, and by the way, they bought salt.

There are copper mines, lead-zinc mines, silver mines, and gold mines, and there is no shortage of anything.

Craftsmen began to mint coins, minting Hongwu Tongbao, as in the official, when ten, when five, when three, when two, when one.

They are skilled in this, and use the existing Hongwu Tongbao to turn sand and make molds, and control the content of copper, lead and zinc.

After casting, grind the faults, take them out to buy the people's vegetables, and let the people settle the wages when they work.

If the people use this money to buy things, they can't always exchange it for them, but the money must be available and must be circulated.

Some of the people also used the copper coins of the Yuan Dynasty, the earlier Zhida Tongbao, and the Zhizheng Tongbao before the Yuan Dynasty was driven away.

The official is responsible for recycling, and then melts it down to continue to cast Hongwu Tongbao.

Zhu Wentian didn't think of leaving a part of it for future generations to study, there are things, and there are none, but the materials will be recorded, and the history of the dynasties will be written.

Including the history of the Yuan Dynasty written by the Ming Dynasty, there are things such as currency, as well as other etiquette and so on.

I don't know why, the Chinese nation likes to write such a history of the previous dynasties, and there are also general histories, including county chronicles. Can't burn!

Then if there are officials there, they will immediately come to take a look and keep it.

Wei Su wanted to die at the beginning, and someone persuaded him that if you die, a lot of information will be gone, you have to live and write these out.

When Zhu Biao saw the brand-new money, he wanted to come over and weigh it twice, and nodded in approval.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the fish has no head and internal organs, throw it away?"

A farmer came to buy salted dried fish, and knowing that the prince was there, he was not afraid, and took the initiative to inquire about the situation.

"I didn't throw it away, I dried it to make feed, and the fish maw, that is, the fish bladder, was stored separately, which was medicine. If there is a large quantity, a part will be selected to make fish gelatin.

When there are more chickens, ducks and geese in our house, spend a little money to buy such feed feeding, which grows fast and lays more eggs, especially not soft-shell eggs. ”

Zhu Biao said with a smile to the other party that when fishing and processing in large quantities, the fish head and fish internal organs are guaranteed not to be thrown away.

"How does the prince know that I have chickens, ducks and geese at home?" The farmer looked surprised.

Zhu Fan spoke next to him: "Because your shoes and pants have chicken feathers, duck feathers and goose feathers. ”

"Oh! Thanks to the two highnesses who let them help hatch the chicks, there are a lot of them at home, and the small ones are learning to eat and swim with the big ones. ”

The farmer looked down, and sure enough, His Royal Highness King Qin was not wrong.

"So when it's cold, the wheat bran is used to feed the poultry, the grass is stored, and the geese eat the grass. By then, soybeans and sorghum have also been harvested, and poultry can be raised. Plus...... Raise poultry first! ”

Zhu Fan originally wanted to say that the livestock left behind all needed grain and grass, but when he reacted, the people couldn't manage it, and a special person would be responsible for it when the time came.

The farmer nodded again and again, he was full of confidence in his future life, and many things had been added to his family.

Leaving the place where salted dried fish was sold, the group continued to stroll.

There were no children playing in the streets, and one hundred and thirty officials from the former dynasty were now teaching children to read, alternating with literate sergeants.

Involving the entire Northern Parallel Province, I just found a big family, and borrowed a house, and a new school house was under construction.

All the people walking on the street looked elated, and when they had something and money, they began to think about buying something more for their families.

If you want to eat meat, you still choose to eat salted dried fish, which is cheap, buy it and soak two at home, and then steam it in a pot, without putting salt.

Or stew with eggplant, this salted fish can stew a large pot of eggplant, just lend it to the flavor.

"Look at it this way, it's time for the New Year when we go back!" Zhu Fan thought about something, and on the way back, he had to take care of the people on the canal line.

At least in Beiping, you have to wait until the miso can be eaten before you can leave with confidence, and the summer you choose to make the miso is fast, but it takes a lot of time.

"At least the people's lives can be improved, and they will not come out in vain." Zhu Biao has already thought about it.

He came out to Helin this time, and he went all the way to manage it, and many places where grain was produced were arranged, and he waited for the people in these places to provide various resources for the Ming Dynasty in the future.

The people have more grain, save part of it, and sell the rest, especially after the number of livestock and poultry raised, they can usually eat oil and water, and their grain consumption is reduced.

The others are mineral resources, which will be continuously sent to Yingtianfu, and then smelted by Yingtianfu and sent to other places.

Like Beiping, a smelter was built, and part of it was digested internally in Beiping Province, and the rest was also sold elsewhere.

There is no need for the imperial court to manage it, and businessmen will take the initiative to look for business opportunities.

As for Jiangnan, take your time, close to Yingtianfu, and have good jurisdiction.
