Chapter 96 Human nature is the hardest to give face (third update)

After the meal, the officials went to take a look at the newly built house. They saw that it was almost capped, and the next step was the village's own work.

According to the current layout, no one can control it as long as it is not decorated with beautiful features.

The advantages of building a house in this way are that it is fast, strong, can be built up to four floors, and has a large platform on the roof, which is most convenient for drying things.

The disadvantage is that it is expensive. Cement requires transporting materials, grinding, burning, grinding, and adding iron into it.

It is said that it can be added with old bamboo, which can guarantee that it will not deteriorate for many years.

The houses in the village also have underground fire tunnels. If you burn them once during the day, you won't be cold all day long, and you won't have to worry about carbon poisoning at night.

It's a pity that ordinary people can't build it. How many normal houses can be built with this money?

Take a look at the large canteen that has been repaired and left to dry. The glass is not installed! The glass putty has been mixed, gypsum powder and tung oil are enough!

There is no need to mix rosin powder and alcohol to make rosin water and mix it in. You will have to change the putty frequently.

The main function is to prevent the glass from shaking, otherwise it will break easily. Small nails are not as good as putty to fix it.

And don't use putty, it will be ventilated when the wind is strong, and it will be cold in winter.

"This big house is enough for a thousand people to eat together." Li Zhixian looked at the pillars in the big dining hall and patted them with his hands. They showed they were strong.

The roof is made of iron frames and bamboo, and a long eaves is built outside to block the sun. Eating inside is cooler than outside in summer and warmer in winter.

The officials all secretly lamented that they were so lucky to have an expert to guide them from behind. The expert could endure the loneliness and could not hide away.

"If we squeeze in a little bit, we can still seat 500 more people." The head of the restaurant is equally satisfied with the canteen and will no longer block the canteen with curtains next winter.

"Next time there will be more people coming to the Yamen to eat and drink from you." Li Zhixian smiled.

"I'm just afraid that the taste of the food won't satisfy people. If you can make do with it, my village will welcome you." The village chief laughed.

…

The time of happiness is always short-lived. If the person is not arrested, the officials and government officials can stay there for one night on the pretext of continuing to arrest the person.

Now that someone is caught, he must first go back to Xihe Village and let the owner know that he has been taken to the county government office to protect Feng Dashi. It is best not to let the villagers know that he has been arrested.

The officials and government servants took the pigs into the water and went into the water. Wang Yiqian took a few people and followed them in a carriage to see the situation first and come up with a plan.

People like Wang Yiqian can take a look, ask, and directly tell them how much labor and materials are needed to build what kind of house.

After a house is built, there will only be a few materials left for future repairs. That's it.

When the team arrived at Xihe Village, a member of the host's family, the widow, and the village chief Feng Gui followed.

When he got outside the village, he saw Feng Dashi tied up next to a big tree.

He didn't take action, just sighed, why can't he, the head of the village, be as good as the one from Xiaqiu Village? Why don't other people's villages have such people?

There is no need to beat the person whose house was burned. Feng Dashi's crime is too great. His old mother has been sent to the county almshouse in advance. What does it mean?

When the other party's mother left, she said that if the property was sold, she would be compensated as much as she could.

However, Feng Dashi, who was tied up, was lifted up and slipped into the carriage and complained, saying that Feng Gui, the chief of the village, was not as good as the chief of Xiaqiu Village, and how good the life of the villagers in Xiaqiu Village was.

Then he was whipped twice by the yamen servant. He was so honest that he didn't even dare to moan in pain.

Feng Gui didn't say a word. He had nothing to say. I asked you to go to Xiaqiu Village to help with the work. I'm willing to put my face down to ask others to lend you two more animals. You can open up the wasteland and plant things.

What about you? If you don’t go, how come your original land has been destroyed by you?

Life is good in Xiaqiu Village because the people are hard-working! When they were young, they were a fool who worked as a half-cow in the fields.

An ox can plow two acres of land a day. A fool can plow one acre by himself. Even if you are exhausted, you can't do it.

You...yes, you went to the mountain temple to steal offerings and snacks from fools and were caught by the fools.

You are indeed no better than a fool. A fool will treat you like a chicken.

Do you still have the nerve to eat a piece of soy pork liver? Oops! The food in Xiaqiu Village is really delicious. If it hadn’t been like this, I should have eaten there today.

…

In the evening, before Feng Dashi was escorted to the county seat, Zhu Yuanzhang had already eaten the nine-turn large intestine.

"This is pig intestines? It's exquisitely made and doesn't have a trace of fishy smell. We've also eaten it, but how can it be like this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang ate two nine-turn large intestines in a row and was filled with emotion. He came from a truly poor background and had suffered all kinds of sins.

His mother-in-law, Queen Ma, is more powerful than him and comes from a scholarly family. Without her, he might not have the throne he has today.

All the pig intestines he had eaten, including those he had tasted after becoming emperor, had no taste like the nine-turn intestines he had now.

Empress Ma was pouring wine beside her: "I sent you a recipe. I will ask Guanglu Temple to make it later. The recipe has omitted steps so that the people can know it."

However, the appetite is secondary, the bitter salt and its usage described in the letter are truly powerful.

I didn’t expect that stuff to be like phosphorite, which can be used as fertilizer for crops, a good thing for raising livestock and poultry, and even used as medicine for people.”

She doesn't really care whether she eats the Nine-turn Large Intestine or not. If she wants to eat it, she can take a bite. If there is no such thing, there is nothing else.

She saw the simplified version written in the letter. Ordinary people can follow it to make pig water, which is delicious and cheap.

This is especially true for bitter salt. Bitter salt has always been there, but I never thought it was not used as salt for cooking.

The letter wrote: There is nothing in the world that cannot be used, know its way, and correct its function; there is no irreversible danger in the world, know its roots, and guide its opportunities. When Yu Dayu controlled the water, it was better to block it than to dredge it, and to dredge it up was worse than diverting it. The mountains are undulating, containing

The ocean is turbulent.

She understood that the other party was using nine-turn large intestine and bitter salt to persuade the government and the sea ban.

Experts know why the sea is banned, but they still want to find inevitable and beneficial aspects. For example, in the current trade with the Yi people, the Ming Dynasty began to take advantage.

"Can there be snow or rain in a dry land?" Zhu Yuanzhang drank a cup of wine and asked his eldest son.

"I'll report below that there was no such thing as the twelfth lunar month a year ago, and it's still the same now. The people are digging wells more and more diligently following the yamen."

Zhu Biao reported that no, the people there are working very hard to dig wells, regardless of whether the weather is cold or the ground is frozen.

When no one reminded them, the people were waiting, but someone had already started to ask for it. After comparing the situation, the people panicked.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of bamboo fungus and pork tripe soup: "Send someone to the local area to have a look, and ask them to sell it three more times, and then say that the court allows it."

"Yes!" Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief and wrote in the letter, asking the local people to make some money at last.

This is not a question of making money, it is a test. What the master means is that I want to give the other party a chance to see what the palace means.

His father promised to give him three chances and tell the master that the palace is very generous and will not deceive the common people.

The imperial court sent people to collect it, and it would not affect the village's continued sales. It could continue to drill brine wells. Why rob the wells of the original village?

One step after another, if it keeps snowing and raining in places that should be dry, there will be no three results.

There is a drought. It is indeed a drought. Isn’t it scary? People say that a drought will inevitably lead to a drought.

This is just the beginning. After a while, there will still be no precipitation, no wells, and no harvest.

Experts say that wherever there is alkali, there must be alkali in the land. Experts say that there are many droughts, so there must be drought.

Experts can save lives by administering medicine, and have saved many people in Nanjing area.

Experts taught me how to raise livestock, and according to the feedback, it really works, especially for military horses.

The silage sent from the village is fed to the cattle and sheep. Not only do the cattle and sheep not lose weight in winter, but they actually gain weight.
