"What is this? Give me Hongwu Tongbao, I don't want paper. ”

The family had thirty acres of land, and the head of the family of twelve looked at the paper given by the merchant and his eyes widened.

Twenty acres of his family's field are medium fields, ten acres of upper fields, and the average yield per mu of green cabbage is 4,300 catties, 300 wen, and there are nine per 30 acres.

In the past, after planting rice, in addition to the family to eat, pay the field endowment, there is only a little left, in exchange for daily necessities, will be enough to live, fortunately there is a vegetable field, chickens, plus two pigs.

The population is large, doing some work for others, compared to the above, more than the bottom, the war is over, counting on a good life, but it is a flood.

There are masters in the court! I knew in advance that I ran with my family and the government, and all the things were demolished, and the water was ......

Then let me plant green cabbage, so much per mu, it is more cost-effective than planting rice, and then continue to plant rice without delay.

Waiting to make money, what to give? No matter how beautiful the paper is, it can't be exchanged for money?

"It's a treasure banknote, our Ming Dynasty's treasure banknote, the same as money, haven't you seen the treasure money of the Yuan Dynasty at this age? Everyone in Nanjing City changes, and it is more convenient to use than copper coins. ”

The merchant said patiently, he changed the money, otherwise how much copper money would he have to bring? Either bring silver, this nine taels, also known as cutting and cutting, is in trouble.

The people didn't want to ask for silver, and they couldn't spend it, so they bought salt, or tools, or when the pigs couldn't be killed, they bought a knife of meat, and how could the money be paid? A small pimple is hundreds of words.

"Treasure money? I'll see. "As soon as this person heard that it was a treasure banknote, he understood, and forced it to be issued, he took it and looked at it, he didn't know the words, felt the paper, and then looked at the picture.

"The treasure money of the Yuan Dynasty is not like this, this is a painting, it feels good! We can't draw it, and it's hard for others to estimate it. How much does it cost? Don't you can't? ”

He first admitted that paper money is good, and it is not easy to counterfeit, anyway, he does not have that ability, but he still does not trust.

"Uncle Siniang, I know, you can rest assured to take it, I will go back and teach everyone to read, according to the set of gifts, not to give the consistent denomination, it is not good to spend, the most is one, two, five, ten, twenty are less."

Someone next to him spoke, this person was dressed in a military uniform.

"Isn't this our eldest nephew! Xiao Qi, are you back? Did you come back? ”

This person immediately recognized this sister's child, who was a soldier, and her sister married far away, but she was actually bought by someone, and she was ......

Then the Ming Dynasty came, and my sister brought her family back to see, burned a paper at the grave of her father, and then brought back some local products from her hometown.

It's the year before last, but I didn't expect to meet again, where is my sister?

"Uncle Siniang, I'm here to teach you to read, I've moved, my father and my mother went to Yingtian Mansion, not in Taiping Mansion.

You take the treasure money, and the money that Your Majesty gave with gold and silver as a guarantee will be exchanged for gold and silver at will.

I remember that our family raised pigs, and I deliberately applied for it back, and everyone else drew lots, and I gave the good lottery to my comrades.

I'll go back to my parents' house, I'll help you raise pigs, I've learned a lot of skills, I've been busy before, my mother asked me to bring things and didn't send them over, just when you came. I'll go to you tomorrow. ”

This soldier was very happy, talked about his situation, gave up the sign close to home, and ran back to Sichuan by himself.

"How is my sister?" When my mother's uncle finally remembered something important.

"Mother, it's good! I make a lot of money, Your Majesty rewards, Xiaqiu Village gives money, eat meat in that barracks, look, I'm strong! Energetic ......"

"That's good! A few of our brothers are still talking! When the cabbage head is sold, I will ask someone to send some of our things to my sister, thanks to the ...... this year."

When the nephew and uncle chatted, the locals around came up to listen, the merchant is not in a hurry, you speak first, and when you make it clear, I can pay with treasure money.

"Xiao Qi, you help us watch, don't be bad, I don't know our Daming's treasure banknotes, yes, draw beautifully."

This fourth uncle accepts the treasure money, and there is a guarantee from the yamen next to him.

The rest of the crowd agreed, okay! No wonder you know how hard it is to cheat, and the ability of Xiaqiu Village.

Xiaqiu Village has blown up the dangerous places of the Yangtze River, at least there are no reefs, I heard that this year, no, last year's flood was said by the masters of Xiaqiu Village.

Moreover, the green cabbage is harvested in Xiaqiu Village, and the grain given by the imperial court before is said to be no longer necessary, and it is necessary to live a good life.

The people began to improvise the denomination of treasure money, which looked like one and looked like two......

This is true in the disaster-stricken areas of Sichuan, and in other places, the officers and soldiers of the past have also worked hard to teach the people, teaching them to recognize money first, and then buy their things, or let them exchange copper coins and gold and silver.

This is where the teams can get there now, and there are still teams on the road that will not be there until a while.

As soon as the people heard that it was the army, they had to teach literacy, carry all kinds of powders and medicines, and they did not eat local food in vain and gave money.

Most people agree that a few people have bad intentions, such as village tyrants, who are afraid and can only find ways to stop them.

Especially the lieutenant and the like, they will tell lies to the villagers, smear others, and make up things to scare people.

said that this was fake, not the real Ming sergeant, who came to tie people up and beat them to death.

So that's right, all such people are arrested and beaten to death, and the army is not used to their faults, right? Put in order.

The others were honest in an instant, whether it was the army or not, everyone could actually guess for themselves, the sergeants used to carry weapons and would help with hunting.

There are no protected animals, everything that can be eaten is hunted, and the people are also guided to fight wild boars, wolves, leopards, tigers, and bears......

The sparrows don't need it, the sparrow people can use the basket to set a trap buckle, and after killing it, they are wrapped in mud and roasted, and when the mud is down, the feathers will fall off.

……

"The braised sparrows are delicious, fried at night to eat, and to drink."

Zhu Yuanzhang is eating sparrows, which are not as fat as in autumn, and sparrows have to spend the winter in autumn and eat hard, and physiology also requires them to start accumulating fat.

After the beginning of spring, the sparrows are also trying to eat, need to reproduce, and then they are caught by the people, especially the half-grown children, who make their own slingshots to fight.

The current slingshot is a bow of arrows, and it does not shoot arrows, but shoots stones, and it does not need to be so far, thirty steps is enough.

The children hit accurately, pull the bow and shoot stones within 20 meters, pointing where to hit, they don't know any wind direction, gravity and other calculation methods, they are proficient, they don't aim, they hit by feeling.

In the past, they tried to roast and eat it by themselves after they finished fighting, but now they sell it in the market, ten of them cost a penny, no matter how small they are, and the meat of ten is always more expensive than rice of the same weight.

The people who purchased in Xiaqiu Village saw the purchase, scalded it with hot water, and asked the palace maid and eunuch to help remove the feathers, and there were braised sparrows to eat at noon.

"Your Majesty, eat the sizzling sparrows! The oil for frying is too large. "The lieutenant suggested that ordinary ministers would not say this, including Guanglu Temple.

"Cheng, eat in the village, the village arranges, the palace maid and eunuch are most willing to come to the village, they can always eat good things, and when they go back, they will eat secretly, we should not see it."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not allow the palace maid and the eunuch to eat food from other places, it didn't matter what Xiaqiu Village gave, last time the dragon raised his head and gave a lot of fried chicken legs, he watched a palace maid standing at the door eat quietly, he was going to go out, but he waited for the other party to finish eating before acting.
