Zhu Yuanzhang, who held a small court meeting for the ministers, asked people to bring the question book and pull the big children to correct it together.

The other ministers are arranged according to the position of the prime minister and the six ministries, and each ministry is a building, and Shangshu, Shilang, Lang and others look at the local inscriptions, or give feedback on the decrees issued by the ministry.

Imperial Doctor Chen Ning sat bored, he had nothing to do, he couldn't find anyone to impeach, everyone worked hard, and they weren't greedy or afraid.

Zeng Lu was not with him, Zeng Lu went to the library to help Wei Su compile the Hongwu Canon, and he knew a lot of things.

After the tool book is finished, it is being printed, the dictionary is being packed, and then it is sent to each village, and a village has to put more than a dozen books, and everyone can learn to use it.

Dictionaries hardly make money, and they help the people of the Ming Dynasty to read and write, and when the time comes, they sell newspapers to make money and make money from merchants.

The newspaper is good! You can paste the wall, go to the toilet, practice calligraphy with a brush, light firewood, wrap vegetables, wrap meat, and prevent insects......

Zhu Zhang's four brothers are holding account books in Xiaqiu Village, and they look the same everywhere, and the most troublesome thing in it is not Jubiqi, but the department store.

Department stores have the function of supply and marketing cooperatives, collecting and selling things, reporting in advance when they are about to run out of stock, and sending reports when the collected goods arrive in Nanjing.

The best selling thing is soap, which the people use to wash their hands and clothes, and soap is too expensive, so buy a piece and keep it at home, and use it when needed.

In addition, glycerin and skin cream are also selling well, even the weather in the south of the Yangtze River in winter hurts the skin, wipe a little to ensure that the mouth is not cracked, the hands and face are not rough, it is really comfortable, at least it does not hurt.

In the summer, glycerin is not easy to sell, and at that time mosquito coils were sold, as well as cattail fans, and most of the cattail fans were woven from reeds.

A leaf of a normal plant is a fan that is not found elsewhere, that is a palmetto, in the very south of the south, it is lighter than a fan woven by reeds, the key is simple when weaving, the reeds have to be woven slowly, and there are many man-hours.

The leaves of the palmetto are ready-made, remove the surrounding places, and use twine to code the edges, which can be made hundreds of a person a day.

The fan made of reeds was not so efficient, so he sent someone over there to find someone to make it, and paid them ten pennies.

If you want to make 300 a day, you can get 30 Wen, which is a super high income for the local people, who are not the people of Nanjing.

They need to plant more palmettos, and when they plant palmetto seeds, they can make cattails in a year, which is very cost-effective.

Department stores need transportation, a ship can hold a lot, after being sent to various places, sell for one to two pennies, the nearest is naturally a penny, and the distance is a penny.

I am reluctant to write one or two, and I feel that it is more cost-effective to make one, so I don't buy it.

Anyway, people in places where there are department stores now will buy it, and they make up a time to make money, and they can buy several handles.

The needle and thread in the department store are also selling well, all steel needles, the speed of making needles is countless times faster than before, a box of needles of 20 large and small, adding up to only five cents, the people are willing to buy, cheap, and also send an iron thimble!

"The iron mine called Ma'anshan next to it has made a great contribution, and as soon as department stores are opened, the people will inevitably buy steel supplies first."

The youngest Zhu Hu has also learned a lot now, he knows what the people need the most, and he used to lack iron.

"It is the blast furnace and the open hearth that are powerful, and the industrial zone has installed new blast furnaces and open hearth furnaces in Ma'anshan, and the original blast furnaces are gradually being dismantled, with less iron production and more consumables, so it is difficult to control the quality of iron.

The new large furnace group, the original earth blast furnace on the top of a furnace has hundreds of furnaces, where there is iron, there is steel, and scrap iron can also be used to make steel.

In some places, wooden plows and stone plows are still used, and it is strange that the cultivated land can be fast, and it is just right to sell them, but it is really not possible to owe them on credit first. ”

Zhu Di began to think about the matter of credit, the people in remote places could not afford to buy complete sets of steel supplies, so they were given to use first, and then repaid when they made money.

He learned that the output of the new blast furnace, when the People's Republic of China was first founded, was 18 million catties of iron a year, which is now the output of a new blast furnace for two months a year.

The key is that there are more than 30 new blast furnaces there, and as long as the supply of ore and coal can be supplied, the total output of ten years is the same as it used to be, and it will continue to be built!

It is said that there are bigger ones later, and then the smaller ones will see how to dismantle them and send them to other places to smelt iron, such as their own fiefdoms.

Zhu Li saw that the two younger brothers had finished speaking, and hurriedly said: "It's quite scary, the annual output of steel is enough for the daily use of the people, and the rest of the feelings, now it depends on the speed of mining."

Our fiefdom needs to provide coal and iron ore for the Ming Dynasty, does my brother's fief have iron? It's still very good.

Where else did you come from? Anyway, it's a lot, what's the use of so much steel? ”

This time it was Zhu Fan's turn: "The barrel, the mortar, the steam engine, the train is good, it needs a lot of rails, the rails are very heavy, and I don't know how much it will be used to lay it from here to Ma'anshan."

If we engage in other industries, we can't all put them in Ma'anshan, we need to transport steel from there, people can't pull it, and ships can carry less at one time.

Just counting on a railroad track to connect it, looking at the meaning of Xiaqiu Village, they want to spread the railroad track to all parts of Daming.

At present, the output is obviously insufficient, it is too much worse, how can it produce 10,000 tons a day, mining can't keep up, and coal can't keep up. ”

"Alas!" The four princes sighed at the same time, slow, the production increase is too slow, and the Ming needs more steel.

I used to think that there was too much iron and steel to use up, but now I know that it is far behind!

Shipbuilding, steam engines, other equipment, and then there is a very convenient train, take a lot of things from the village to Xihuamen, take a small train to get there quickly.

According to the speed of the train, it will not take a few days to get from the northern parallel province to Nanjing, which is a lot of goods! Crossing the river is a problem, I don't know if it will work with a boat.

They discussed things, the chief walked around in the back kitchen, and cooked food for the children at lunch, for the baby with bad teeth, the most fragrant must be braised pork.

It has to be cooked for a long time so that it melts in the mouth, it is not greasy at all, and adults also love to eat it, and the villagers can't eat it anymore because they are too oily, so they can only do it better.

Like someone outside who is learning to sell braised pork, I want to vomit when I look at it, Su Dongpo said that the method of making meat, why hasn't it been passed down well?

"The meat in the pot is all fried?" The chief came to the place where the meat was cooked, and the tenderloin had been fried and placed there.

"Fried, a total of three times, and then adjust the juice and hang the juice when you want to eat." The villager in charge of making the dish responded.

The chief nodded, and walked back to the position where the meat was made to take a look, the meat had been cooked and sliced, and it was time to return to the pot.

There's nothing to say, the case behind is chopping stuffing and making steamed lion heads, in fact, this lion head is not very qualified, there is cabbage in it, in order to supplement vegetables for the children, otherwise it is all meat.

Stir-fry cabbage alone, children don't eat it, forcing them to eat it?

The best way is to make the stuffing, and then steam the lion's head soup without steaming the vegetables, but cut into foam, which requires the child to drink it, and the child can accept it.
