Zhu Biao moved to the side of the road. There were very few people in the world who could take the initiative to move out of the way. The man pushing the dung cart smiled gratefully at them. After all, this stuff was heavy and smelly, and if it was not handled well, it would be scattered all over the floor.
This was Zhu Biao's first time seeing this thing. He didn't know what the process was in the palace, but he had never seen it before. He probably avoided him on purpose.
After the dung truck passed, Zhu Biao and others continued to move forward. Xu Yungong asked curiously: "Is this an errand arranged by the government?"
Zhu Biao naturally didn't understand. After all, he had never had to deal with such matters. The same was true for Chang Mao. If you want to ask about the Four Books and Five Classics, marching and fighting, eating, drinking and having fun, you can do anything, but this kind of work is a blind spot in knowledge.
The eldest son of the Chen family, named Chen Yunshu, also held a seventh-rank official position in Hangzhou. He happened to be in charge of people's livelihood. After taking office, he understood a little about this, so he explained: "This is not arranged by the government, but they spend money."
I'm looking for a job. The fields outside the city are short of fertilizer. They collect and process it and then sell it to the farm."
Chang Mao was quite surprised and said: "I thought it was the government spending money to send them, but I didn't expect it was still their business."
Chen Yunshu looked at the two distinguished princes who were very interested in this and felt helpless. Isn't this gorgeous Hangzhou beautiful? Why is the focus so strange? However, he didn't want to offend the two princes, so he had to continue to explain.
Zhu Biao gained some insight after listening to the words behind him. It turned out that the farmyard fertilizer industry had begun to flourish a long time ago, and the industry benefited a lot from this industry. In order to harvest more, conflicts often broke out. After all, the people in the city didn't care who owned the night fragrance.
In the manure truck.
Zhu Biao listened for a while. Chen Yunshu didn't know how these dung farmers processed their excrement to make fertilizer, but Zhu Biao could guess from the description that it was just a very crude fermentation method.
There are some records about this technology in agricultural books of the past dynasties, but no one has studied it in depth. After all, no matter how much scholars like farming, they will not study it seriously.
After returning to Beijing, I can let people try it. After all, Zhu Biao has a little understanding of the principles. As for agricultural development, Zhu Biao will do his best. After all, there are still too many people in Ming Dynasty who are waiting for food.
Zhu Biao and others were walking on the street. The people in Hangzhou were quite wealthy. Zhu Biao saw many people eating breakfast at street stalls. This was not the case in the coastal city of Fengyang.
Dare to think.
Zhu Biao had eaten in the morning, but he was quite excited when he saw many special snacks, but he still restrained himself. He had to eat less outside food, and he had to be cautious about the things that entered the body. After all, no one could bear it.
.
Zhu Biao stood on the street and watched people coming and going. There were many rivers in Hangzhou, and the scenery along the river banks was pleasant. Chen Yunshu led them to Jianqiao Street and Houshi Street.
He introduced that there are some regular and highly professional markets in Hangzhou, such as medicine market, pearl market, silk floss market, flower market, garment market, meat market, rice market, salt market, etc.
Highly professional industries have also emerged, such as linen shops, green fruit shops, crab shops, fish shops, seafood shops, greenware shops, paper fan shops, wood shops, bamboo shops, etc., which are often mentioned in the literature.
Now at the turn of spring and summer, it is the time when markets open frequently. Zhu Biao spent nearly two hours shopping and bought a lot of all kinds of gadgets. He planned to give them to his younger brothers and sisters after returning to Beijing.
I bought five cute kittens at one place.
Zhu Ben originally planned to buy one for little classmate Zhu Lu. After all, a biological sister must be different from other sisters, otherwise the little girl will not obey. Is this a girl's nature, she always wants to be favored.
However, as soon as Liu Jin picked up one, the other four little ones were all meowing milkily. The dealer on the side was still persuading, and Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and even the mother cat bought them.
Walking to a restaurant, Chen Yunshu said: "Your Highness, you should take a rest after walking for so long. This restaurant is Weichen's own property. The chef cooked for you last night. Why don't you go in and have a sip of tea."
After hearing this, Zhu Biao nodded and sat down in the lobby before even reaching the private room. Chen Yunshu winked at the child to stop talking, and then led Liu Jin to the kitchen. Anyone who crossed Zhu Biao's mouth had to be watched.
Just fine.
After a while, Chen Yunshu personally came over with a pot of tea. After sitting down, he poured it for Zhu Biao. All the things he bought just now were sent back to the Chen Mansion. After all, the two kittens were too energetic and everyone else was asleep.
, just the two of them meowing non-stop.
The lobby was a little noisy and full of people, but it had a different flavor. Zhu Biao was still thinking whether he would meet some dandy and teach him a lesson, so as to leave a legend for Hangzhou. He didn't expect that even a thief would be there after walking for so long.
Didn't see it.
Zhu Biao took a sip of tea and looked at Chen Yunshu and asked, "Are all the descendants of the Hangzhou family so honest?"
Chen Yunshu was stunned for a moment and then said sincerely: "It's not that every household has a few libertines. It's just that every household has issued a ban before His Highness entered the city. No one dares to commit any crime at this time, especially
It’s the dandies who are all confined to their homes.”
Zhu Biao sighed after hearing this. There was too much noise along the way. After all, there were at least ten thousand people guarding him when he was traveling. How could there be no news at all? The wealthy families were also watching closely. Everyone was afraid that they would be harmed by their dandy grandsons and have their homes ransacked.
Genocide.
Zhu Biao was wandering around a lot when traveling north and south, but he couldn't meet a single dandy for this reason. Even if a dandy saw Zhu Biao, he would act like a good boy. He was harmless to humans and animals. Zhu Biao couldn't target him without any reason.
people.
Some of them went back home in low spirits. They originally wanted to go to Lingyin Temple for a visit, but now they suddenly lost interest. They might as well go home and play with the cats. The others naturally had no objections and even breathed a sigh of relief. Your Highness
They couldn't afford an accident in front of them.
After returning to the Chen Mansion, I went straight to the courtyard. I met many young ladies from the Chen Mansion on the way. Some were reciting poems and painting, and some were playing the piano and strings by the flowing water. All of them were quite beautiful.
Chen Yunshu explained with some shame: "These are the sisters from other rooms. I didn't see the prince last night because he was probably too curious. Please don't blame me, Your Highness."
Zhu Biao nodded clearly. Magistrate Chen is the head of the family, but the Chen family has been a century-old family. There must be many close relatives in the courtyard. Every family wants their daughter to fly on a branch and become a phoenix. This is understandable, and Zhu Biao does not
As for being angry about it.
Although these girls are very good-looking, Zhu Biao is not interested in accepting them. The Chen family can only produce a concubine no matter what. Zhu Biao plans to accept the eldest daughter of his master's family, who is Chen Yunshu's sister. The father and son
They are all pretty good, and Zhu Biao is also dedicated to cultivating them.
After returning to the yard, I could still hear the sound of the piano in the distance. I could only sigh that these girls were determined and it was a pity that they were not men. Otherwise, they would have achieved a great career.
