Chapter 34 How many private delivery messages in the village (first update)

"Ji, Jia...oh, Jia, you're leaving! No, replace this donkey."

In the land area, a donkey suddenly became stubborn, and people who came to work in other villages were not easy to beat donkeys.

A person from Xiaqiu Village came over and looked at the donkey with a smile: "This donkey is so fat! Brother, have you ever eaten donkey meat?"

"It's hard for me to eat pork, where can I eat donkey meat?" the other party shook his head.

"Let's eat tonight, let's kill this donkey. Then... look, let's go."

Before the people in this village could say the following words, the donkey moved forward. It was probably because it was too tired just now, so it took a break.

The people from other villages laughed: "Okay, if you don't work, just kill and eat meat. This is a good trick. When you have so many land in your village, you need to find someone to help with planting, remember to shout."

The villagers hesitated: "Maybe it will be a few days later when harvesting rice. Don't you grow rapeseed and ramie?"

The other party pursed his lips; "Source, plant them all, and then I will find you to rent a big animal, grit your teeth, and be tired after a while, and next year will be fine."

"Actually, it's not very tiring. The things we have to plant in our village are easier than rice transplanting."

The people in this village thought of themselves last year. As soon as they harvested the rice, Hanhan asked them to turn over and go to another village to rent livestock.

In less than a year, there were nearly four hundred livestock in the village.

In the evening, the village sent the hired people back again and still gave them food.

"Hanhan, the wasteland is blooming, and the fat is no longer up to the point. Can wheat grow well this fall?"

The grasshoppers grow deep in the wood and drink wine, worrying about fatter.

"Dig, mud, chase again, fat, hehehe!" Zhu Wentian thought for a while and could only do this.

There are many livestock in the village, and a lot of them can be transported back at a time. After planting wheat, you will have time to top-dress.

If you want to buy wheat next year, it will be expensive and the yield is low. Maybe you won’t ship it here.

Historical records: In the fourth year, Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi and Zhili Changzhou, Linhao, Beiping, Hejian, and Yongping drought.

The four years here refer to the fourth year of Hongwu, that is, next year.

The arid areas are all located in Henan, Hebei, Shanxi and Shaanxi. They are all wheat-growing places, and the people are having a hard time.

He had no choice but to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang in person.

Even if you say it, what can Zhu Yuanzhang do? He can do anything to God?

Digging wells requires manpower, artificial rainfall? What a joke!

...

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was remembered by Zhu Wentian, was having dinner at night.

The rice made by Queen Ma has vegetables and meat.

Today Zhu Yuanzhang was going to drink some wine, and he was happy.

"Zhongba, why are you so happy?" Queen Ma saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was happy.

"Girl, the question book I sent in a hurry today is growing jute in the paddy fields in Xiaqiu Village, Xuancheng County, Ningguo Prefecture.

It is said that I have to wait for half of the rice to head and transplant the jute seedlings planted elsewhere, which is good for rice.

This year, Xiaqiu Village has collected an extra crop of rapeseed and ramie, and the rock candy they had come up with before.

Zhu Yuanzhang told the happy event that the people could have more than one crop and one row of crops.

In the future, there will be nothing short of food, cloth, and oil.

The people of Ming Dynasty could eat enough and beat whoever they wanted.

As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of wine, siped the chicken, and tasted it carefully.

Queen Ma smiled when she heard this: "Since you asked someone to collect brown sugar, the price of brown sugar has risen now. I heard that foreigners have also become more expensive to buy our rock sugar."

"Two thirty cents per pound, hum! Do you still want to use candy to make money from my Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes. Recently, the imperial court collected brown sugar, and all the brown sugar collected was made into rock sugar and sold to foreigners through the Maritime Bureau.

While calling for the high price, foreigners buy hard, thinking that they can make money by shipping to other places.

"There are talented people in Xiaqiu Village, Chongba." Queen Ma praised.

"Ability, I have thought of so many good solutions." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.

"But it's not just these, Chongba, you wait, I'll get something."

Queen Ma left her seat, walked to the side, took a wooden box, and opened it for Zhu Yuanzhang to see.

There was a cotton cloth in the box and four things were placed.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his mouth and sniffed: "This is... soap? Why isn't it round?"

Queen Ma pointed at the thing: "This is not a soap made from soap, it is better than soap.

A merchant bought it from Xuancheng and went to Nanjing to sell it. Our boss brought it to me.

A piece of soap like this is sold in Xuancheng for 500 yuan, but it will cost 700 yuan to arrive in Nanjing. It is not easy to buy it!"

"This... is so expensive?" Zhu Yuanzhang knew the prices, especially round-scent soap.

The things in front of you are five times more expensive than soap made from soap. Who made them?

"Who sold it? Why would the boss be willing to buy it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked as he thought.

"Why would the boss buy it yourself? It was given to the boss by the official from Ningguo Mansion and borrowed it from the boss to give it to us. Chongba, where do you guess this soap come from?"

Queen Ma shook her head, and the eldest son made it clear when she asked her to deliver something.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes turned: "Isn't it Xiaqiu Village too?"

"Zhongba guessed it right. Xiaqiu Village sold 500 yuan for the first time, and 1,000 yuan for the second time.

This soap was tried by the Ningguo government officials in the village, and said they didn't know if it was good or not and asked the officials to help them use it.

Another type has no fragrance, but a faint fishy smell, so I use it to wash clothes."

Queen Ma nodded and introduced the origin of the soap, but the officials had no money to buy it.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he patted the table: "Where is a trial, it is clearly a bribery."

Trial? What is delivered is called trial. Wouldn’t the food delivered be called trial?

Should I give the money directly and let the officials try to spend it?"

"Hahaha..." Queen Ma laughed: "Then Chongba, you are punishing officials?"

"How can they punish the crimes that they said themselves? It is also the crime of governing Xiaqiu Village.

If you know how to give gifts to officials, you don’t know how to give gifts to me, the emperor? Can I still treat them badly?"

Zhu Yuanzhang complained that he actually would not directly care about the people's requests for things. When there are good things, he had to pay for them.

"Speaking of all, officials have really tried it. County officials went to various villages to see people's livelihood and used to bring their own dry food.

Now after seeing other villages, I finally went to Xiaqiu Village to have a meal in Xiaqiu Village without dry food.

The boss said that the officials wrote a letter saying that the villagers in Xiaqiu Village had meat and wheat every meal."

Empress Ma took the conversation and told Zhu Yuanzhang that there was such a powerful village.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "If you have money, you will naturally have meat. Who is the master in the village? Are you willing to become an official in the court?"

He was moved. Xiaqiu Village has a hermit? Ordinary people cannot make the village have many more solutions.

Queen Ma shook her head: "The boss said that the officials didn't know either. When he asked the village chief, the village chief said that he had figured it out by himself.

Oh! The boss mentioned something, and the official wrote that before the drought, the village had a river, so he had to work hard to dig out four wells, so there was nothing wrong with the village during the drought."

"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded one after another.

He doesn't care about the local officials writing letters to the prince in private. The boss wants to rebel? No problem, support.
