Nanjing, or the wax moon of Yingtianfu, is suddenly different from before.

For several days in a row, the temperature remained below freezing until mid-day, even during the day.

The only thing to be happy about is the success of the blasting of reefs in the Yangtze River basin and the Yellow River basin, and the news comes back every day, where the reefs and open reefs are blown up.

The boatmen and porters of the two river basins were most familiar with the situation, knew which position was dangerous, and the army had passed, and had chosen the water with good quality, bringing ropes and pipes, and some even iron cages.

The pipe is connected to the water, and people can breathe underneath, wearing diving goggles, and even the pipes are breathable kerosene lamps, drills, hammers, and a group of several people go down to chisel.

Drill out the blast hole, put in the explosives and detonators, everything is in order, the man pulls it up, and the rope on it detonates.

It usually needs to be blown up many times, and each time it is easier than the other, and the shock wave of the underwater explosion is all in that range, and the shock is particularly severe.

Light snow was drifting, and there was no frost on the glycerin-coated glass.

The spicy soup with beef as an ingredient and the sheep's eye buns with garlic sprouts-based fillings are popular among both adults and children.

There is also the big steamed bun left over from the village last night, which was fried in oil in the morning and browned, and it is not bad to eat with tofu brain.

Goat's milk from children, some women, and the elderly.

Babies who can eat complementary food are egg custard and vegetable puree, but the taste is relatively light, and they dare not put seasonings, otherwise the child will not drink breast milk.

"Say it's been selling well for honeycomb coal recently?" Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of spicy soup first, burped, and exhaled the cold breath in his stomach.

"Your Majesty, there is only three percent of the profit, not only for selling, but also for subsidies."

Li Chang swallowed half of the sheep's eye bun in his mouth in response, and he also had to bite into the little bun with a little dip in vinegar and soy sauce.

"As we know, a lot of money is spent on travel expenses." Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his chopsticks into the bowl and dried shredded tofu.

He learned from his second son that Jubiqi bought a large amount of pulverized coal, which was the cheapest coal face, and basically whoever wanted it would pull it by himself.

Pulverized coal is basically not used in the industrial zone, unless it is necessary to blow pulverized coal during smelting, and a large amount of pulverized coal is slime for the people.

Recently, the weather has been cold, and Jubiqi has been tilting his business since last month, organizing manpower, including sending messages to the convenience of the people.

Let the merchant help transport the pulverized coal here, and the profit will be about five percent.

It is not cost-effective to directly eliminate small businessmen, and five percent of the profits go so far to transport pulverized coal.

The big merchants and the combined caravans were happy, the small merchants pursued the profit ratio, and the large merchants pursued the profit value.

Pulverized coal was brought in, and Jubiqi found jobs for people who had little work in winter, to make honeycomb coal, and sell it to the people cheaply.

Some people do not meet the welfare standards of the nursing home, but the economic conditions are really not good, so in order to prevent them from freezing to death, they have to subsidize them.

After some operation, the tax still has to be paid, and there is no tax refund policy.

Subsidizing the people is your own business, what does it have to do with the taxes of the imperial court?

It's just that the profit of three percent looks low, and the actual overall income is not a lot.

The people got cheap honeycomb coal, burned honeycomb coal during the day, and were not afraid of soot poisoning, and at night there was little good lump coal, and the probability of poisoning was very low.

At present, Jubiqi is not able to operate all places, only Yingtianfu, Zhenjiang Fu, and some areas of Yangzhou Fu.

Taiping Mansion and Ningguo Mansion do not need it, the local government is powerful, and they organize manpower to arrange the heating of the people in winter.

Like Ningguofu, most of the people have prepared coal and firewood for winter by themselves, and many of them are good coal, and they have money.

Doctor Zeng Lu was eating steamed buns on the side, dipped in too much vinegar, and frowned sourly: "After the weather is cold, the extra burden on the people increases, how much money do you have to burn a day?" ”

He didn't know how much it would cost, and the heating in his house was given by the imperial court, and there were only about 100 catties of coal.

The lump coal is burned in order to cope with the bad weather, and the coal billet is usually burned, and it is burned 20 pieces a day.

Don't worry about soot poisoning, the location of the boiler is not in a normal house, and the coal billet saves money.

"About two pennies." Liu Lian replied loudly, he knew that he was currently an official, in charge of Yingtianfu's river, Zhihe, and Zhengqipin's official, and he happened to have a small steam engine ship that belonged to his own transfer.

"Two texts? It's not a small amount, but you can buy two catties of rice. Liu Bowen opened his mouth, he has been concerned about people's livelihood recently.

"When I was in Xiaqiu Village, I bought it to make coal billets, and one penny was enough to burn it for a day.

In winter, river transportation is not convenient, and it is naturally expensive to buy ready-made honeycomb coal, so I guess I didn't expect it to be so cold this winter.

Is this a disaster? Can it be warm on Chinese New Year's Eve? It seems to be colder, and the weather goes with the months. ”

Another doctor, Chen Ning, spoke to see the chief and asked about the disaster.

The chief chewed the screw vegetables in the shrimp oil side dish in his mouth, looked at Chen Ning, and motioned to the other party to wait for a while.

A teenager in Xiaqiu Village helped: "No, the heavy snow in Nanjing has to collapse most of the houses to be a disaster." If this is counted, the north suffers every year. ”

"That's right, Zhu Qing eats steamed buns while they're hot." Zhu Yuanzhang qualitatively told everyone to stop talking, and they were not idle when they ate.

Everyone quieted down, and a breakfast was eaten slowly for half an hour, all for the sake of the family.

Today is a holiday, but I came to have breakfast, there is no extra food sent at home, it is so cold, who wants to cook?

After a lot of hard work as the head of the house, when they go to Xiaqiu Village, the palace will send food over, three meals, even if they go home immediately now.

I came to the house, and I went back immediately after eating, and it didn't look good, so I just sat and chatted.

Officials from various ministries gathered together to talk, first talking about the weather, then about the wind and the moon, and then about work.

The generals got together to talk about various issues of the war, and Hu Weiyong had to go to the six departments to listen to them one by one.

Babies who eat complementary food fall asleep when they are full, and when they wake up after a while, they can participate in the activities of playing, and they are always sleepy.

The other children are looking for their own partners to play, some are outdoor, more indoor, and the building blocks are the most, especially the mortise and tenon structure.

This thing is the kind of Lego that Zhu Wentian used to have, but that one is even more powerful, the Chinese people at that time didn't know where to put it, knowing that other people's plastic toys were made and sold more expensive, and then look at it, isn't this our Chinese mortise and tenon joint!

Xiaqiu Village collected the wood scraps for building the imperial palace, combined with the drawings drawn by Zhu Wentian, and threw them to the craftsmen.

The craftsmen took a look at it and threw it to the apprentices, such a simple mortise and tenon structure for the apprentices to do is a waste of talent.

The apprentices took the wood and the drawings and did boring things repeatedly on the lathe, but fortunately, they finally had a heart that was not willing to be ordinary, and made a lot of mortise and tenon structural components that they felt they could add to them.

Things are done, but they also need to be polished, this is the most important, children don't need to prick their hands when they play, so they use good wood.

The polishing work is taught to the hired people, and the apprentices don't do it, there is no technical content, and it is purely to kill time.

That's how the assembled toys in the Xiaqiu Village toy store came about, some are cheap and some are expensive.

"Yo! Large cherries. Out-of-season fruits, how do you sell them outside? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't go to talk to the ministers, he asked the chief to drink tea, and the fruit bowl and dried fruits were brought up.
