Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 126
When I got up early, the rain was much lighter, but it was still falling.

He led a group of girls and servants out of the inner house to pick up the firewood, rice, meat and vegetables that could finally be delivered, and then asked He Xuan to go to the outer courtyard to pick up some documents according to the instructions of his own officials yesterday, and then went to the front yard to check, and returned to In the inner house, Qingniang and the others were about to prepare breakfast.

According to the timing method of my little official, it is close to nine o'clock in the morning.

Going to the main room, there was a sound of laughter in the bedroom. This was the sound, and Xieyi opened the curtain to enter, and watched... According to Liu Bai, a group of sluts clustered around his petty officials, and some of them were still petty officials. For those weird clothes that people have made in recent days, Freehand feels a little helpless.

Most of the girls noticed that Xieyi entered the door immediately, and restrained her voice and expression, but there was one who threw herself into the arms of her little official, who was not shy and said in a sweet voice: "Father, my slave is still here to hold candles tonight." How are you?"

After finishing speaking, she found that the surroundings were quiet, a certain girl turned her head, and found that it was Xieyi, her eyes blinked a few times in a panic, and then she moved towards the little master next to her, showing a bit of confidence in a blink of an eye.

Xie Yi recognized that this was one of the little girls who had just arrived a few days ago, the name given by her own little official.

This is called mulberry picking.

Shameless little girl, the purple crystal sign that should be hanging on her waist is now hanging on her neck, her hair is also loose, and she looks like that, making Xieyi angry when she saw it, almost thinking of leaving the door and changing it to leave it blank come over.

Even in front of petty officials, Liu Bai's small mouth would not be forgiving.

Zhu Yuan took the initiative to break the suddenly awkward atmosphere, and said to Xieyi: "I'll get up right now, you go out first, they just help me get dressed."

Xieyi nodded, and when she turned around, she glanced at the few silks hanging from the bed frame. She didn't want to think about it but couldn't help thinking about it. She also subconsciously recalled the noise she heard outside last night. She didn't know what the trick was. .

Could it be, leggings?
Thinking wildly about going out of the room, thinking about it freehand, it is better to send Lin Xiaoyu in who is usually watching the night with him in the room.

Inside the kitchen.

Seeing that Xieyi came back so quickly, Liu Bai asked, "Have you gotten up yet?"

Freehand shook his head: "Get up."

Looking at the freehand expression, Liu Bai understood roughly, pouted his mouth immediately, and said with a bit of ruthlessness: "Today we have to make a rule, those sluts, if... the little officials don't give orders, dare to wear those bastards indiscriminately." Clothes showing waists and legs show up everywhere, so pay close attention to their skin."

For those weird clothes made by his own petty officials, Liu Bai has the most objections, thinking it is too immodest.

Therefore, I have decided not to wear them in recent days.

After hearing Liu Bai's words, the other few had somewhat strange expressions, because... in this yard, only Liu Bai hadn't worn it himself. Trying on those jeans, even though I took them off quickly, I refused to wear them again, so I didn't hold on to them.

Everyone didn't respond to Liu Bai's words, but Qing Niang said without beginning and end: "Little official, you should tighten your body."

In the past few days, even though it was only last night...

But Qing Niang couldn't count them all at once, she just felt that it shouldn't be.

Besides, that's what she said on her lips, but in fact, what Qingniang was thinking was deeper.

just in case……

In case those people, no matter who they are, suddenly appear, how many of them are there in this room, what should I do?

That's like being stepped on the head in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Qing Niang even had some other thoughts, and quietly went to the doctor to ask for some medicine... But, although such things are common in the big house, this thought only flashed in the bottom of her heart, she absolutely I don't have the guts to do it, and I don't even dare to think about it.

Qingniang just hoped that the others around her would think of it.

However, he never dared to hint at anything, so he could only say this.

Because they were too confused, the few around, at least on the surface, Qing Niang couldn't tell whether they could guess her own thoughts, or if they had similar thoughts.

What everyone said was to agree, to persuade their own petty officials and so on.

Zhu Yuan didn't even know what the women around him were thinking. After washing up, he sat down in the dining room in good spirits. Last night, he still only enjoyed a lily play, and didn't 'mix' himself.

After all, this small body can't afford to toss.

After breakfast, the rain was still falling, but compared to the previous few days, it was much lighter.However, today is already the eighth day of June.

From the evening of the second day of June until now, it was already the sixth day, and the pause button was pressed in Mingzhou.

Calculated based on the daily loss of [-] tan of fish, including the fact that they will definitely not be able to go to sea today, it is equivalent to [-] tan of fish lost just like this.

Sixty thousand dan, 600 million catties.

Calculated at two catties per person per day, it is just enough to feed 10 soldiers and civilians in the Battalion and Navy Commander's Mansion for a whole month.

Moreover, if these few days are missed, there will be only one tail left of the large yellow croaker. In the middle of June, the large yellow croaker that has completely completed the migration and spawning will gradually disperse and return to the deep sea.

Ying Haisi can only turn to fishing for other fish next.

After breakfast, Zhu Yuan came to the study, and immediately checked the statistical documents sent by the outer court about the losses caused by the hurricane.

When the wind and rain subsided yesterday, Zhu Yuan ordered people to start checking the statistics.

This gust of wind is obviously stronger than the one at the end of April. The situation of the offshore fishing fleet is temporarily unknown. Around Dinghai, the damage to houses and ships has increased visibly. It was overturned and sunk by the hurricane, and the wind and rain could not carry out effective rescue, resulting in the loss of 2000 soldiers stationed on the ship. Moreover, it is also troublesome to fish out the sunken ship in order to clear the channel.

In addition, in the baking workshop, the roof of a warehouse was lifted by the hurricane and water entered, causing at least 3000 tan of fish stored in it to be wet and unable to be stored for a long time.

Liu Lian, who ran to check in the rain yesterday, asked people to distribute the fish directly to avoid waste.

The document also specifically mentioned Chen Shanxia's resettlement community.

After all, it is a new house, even if it is a mud thatched house, after the previous reinforcement, the tens of thousands of Shandong refugees and soldiers and civilians living in it have successfully survived the hurricane without any casualties.

Generally speaking, at least on shore, the losses are still within an acceptable range.

Zhu Yuan only hoped that the marine fishing fleet that had docked near the Great Ocean before could survive the hurricane safely.

After reading the paperwork, Zhu Yuan asked Xieyi to take out the manuscripts of "Chemistry" accumulated in the past few days, and began to do preliminary proofreading, while continuing to brainstorm and write down whatever came to mind.

What's more, let Xieyi send out a draft.

This is also the inspiration that has been generated by tinkering with various clothes in recent days.

Two words: tooling.

This is prepared for the many soldiers and civilians under the command of the Yinghai Division and the Navy Commander's Mansion. The reason is very simple, for convenience.

After Lao Zhu ascended the throne at the beginning of the year, he quickly promulgated a decree requiring the restoration of the Tang system of clothing.

The core is still to 'restore China'.

Zhu Yuan agreed very much.

However, Zhu Yuan also felt that it should not be too harsh.

For example, the people at the bottom, in fact, don't pay much attention to it, and they don't have the ability to pay attention to it. They say that when farming or working, they still wear whatever they want. In the south, as the weather gets hotter, people's husbands are just generally short. Gowns and trousers, and many people don’t even wear gowns, and are more used to working shirtless.

That being the case, Zhu Yuan felt that it would be better to unify them.

First of all, the name is what Zhu Yuan specially thought out. "Workwear" is just the clothes worn when doing work. This matter is sent to Lao Zhu. With Lao Zhu's pragmatic personality, there is a high probability that he will not object.

Furthermore, the unified model, and, coupled with Zhu Yuan's design, actually has another advantage. In the case of mass production, it can save fabric and even save the man-hours of sewing and mending clothes.

In other words, the trousers of this era are usually very loose, like pockets, and loose, which means more fabric is used.Although Zhu Yuan's solution is not tight, it is also considered a slim fit. The jacket and trousers are designed to fit the human body and save as much as possible.

Finally, compared with all kinds of clothes, wearing 'working clothes' will be more comfortable and convenient.

There are many benefits.

Zhu Yuan even came up with the idea of ​​setting up another garment factory by taking advantage of the trend.

Mingzhou clothing production company.

Why not Mingzhou Garment Factory?

For neatness!

Speaking of which, it's not just 'tooling', Zhu Yuan even wants to get out the 'military uniform' later on, but this step is too big, and it's still the era of cold weapons, and the seemingly cumbersome battle jackets and armor, They all have real protection capabilities, and human lives are involved behind them, so it is not suitable for too radical changes.

In the afternoon, the rain finally stopped.

The next day, the ninth day of June, the weather returned to fine weather.

Things started to happen one after another.

First of all, it was the sea fishing fleet. The news was sent back on the ninth day of the lunar new year. Fortunately, the loss was not too big.

What's more, Fang Li, Li Gui and others also conducted some surveys on the fishing grounds. The large yellow croakers are much sparser, but they are still there, and at least half a ten-day period of fishing can still be carried out.

Then came the news from Shandong.

Sure enough, the periphery of this hurricane swept the third batch of grain transport fleets out to sea.

But it was a blessing in disguise.

The third batch of grain transport fleets set off on May [-]th. On the evening of the second day of June, when Dinghai encountered wind and rain, the fleet had not yet reached the Yancheng latitude, but it ushered in the southeast caused by the periphery of the hurricane.

So, in just three short days, on the fifth day of June, the fleet arrived in Jiaozhou under this strong wind.

Compared with the first 13 days and the second 22 days, this time, the whole process only took 10 days, exactly one ten days.

And, because of the voyage, well, literally this time, the fleet has less to lose this time around. Of the 20 shi of grain and 10 dan of fish that could not reach Jiaozhou due to departure or sinking, only 4000 shi (dan) could not be reached, and the loss ratio was only 1.3%.

The escort team of 12000 people lost only 7 people in the whole process.

In short, it is almost equivalent to arriving in Jiaozhou with no loss.

This is good news.

The bad news for Mingzhou is that, because of the six-day delay due to the hurricane, the Yinghai Division had to speed up the preparations for the fourth batch of grain transport fleets, and the northward deployment of the remaining 11000 elite troops.

So on June [-]th, things happened again.

from Jinling.

Things are not too big, and they are not small.

Lao Zhu sent two people over.One is Wu Liang.The other one is Hu Weiyong.

The identities of the two are both Deputy Envoys of Cong Sanpin Yinghai newly established by Lao Zhu.

This is what Zhu Yuan asked for.

In some previous correspondence, Zhu Yuan discussed with Lao Zhu that it is necessary to start to expand the scope of the Yinghai Division.

As far as fishing is concerned, the coastal fisheries in the Jianghuai area in the north of Zhejiang seem to be underdeveloped. However, if you want to achieve the target of 300 million fish catches next year, Shandong in the north, Fujian and Guangdong in the south all need Carefully run.

The northern part of Shandong is the Bohai Sea, and the southern part is the Yellow Sea. It also has many natural harbors, which are very suitable for the development of sea fishing.

Not to mention Fujian and Guangdong.

Therefore, Zhu Yuan suggested that the three major provinces need to set up a sub-division of the sea with important ministers in charge, responsible for building ports, exploring fish stocks, organizing fishermen, etc. In addition to developing fisheries, the three major provinces' maritime trade matters, It also needs to be supervised nearby.

For this matter, Zhu Yuan has someone in his hands.

There are exactly three doctors under Yinghai Division.

However, Liu Lian, Fang Li, and Yao Feng, each with a radish and a hole, must not be released now, after all, Mingzhou has not yet settled everything.

Zhu Yuan can only suggest that Lao Zhu send other people.

Specifically, come to Mingzhou first, let yourself be trained, and familiarize yourself with the various affairs that the Yinghai Division will do, and then be assigned to the three target provinces.

Zhu Yuan never expected that Lao Zhu would send these two to him.

Actually, three.

There is also an arrangement in Shandong. Lao Zhu directly appointed the prefect of Jiaozhou and Huai as the deputy envoy of Yinghai Branch of Shandong Yinghai Branch.

Zhu Yuan has no objection to this.

According to the saying a few hundred years later, Hehuai belonged to a "technocratic bureaucrat". He was born in a craftsman family and was good at building fortifications. It also performed well in terms of waterway transportation, so it was noticed by Lao Zhu.

He Huai served as Shandong Yinghai's deputy envoy, which can be regarded as a reward in advance, and at the same time, he is indeed suitable for this position.

But what about the other two?

Wu Liang, let’s just talk about his previous title, Commander of Suzhou Guards, which is the third rank. However, Wu Liang’s other false title, General Zhen Guo, is the meritorious service accumulated by defending Jiangyin for ten years and participating in the pacification of Zhang Shicheng. Second-rank martial arts official.

This is also why, when Zhu Yuan gave Wu Zhen an idea before, he thought that Wu Liang's transfer to a civil servant would have the potential to serve as a second-rank provincial counselor.

Now, how did it drop from the third rank?

Zhu Yuan did remember that there was an automatic downgrading practice in ancient times when a military officer transferred to a civil official, but he did not agree with this practice, and believed that Lao Zhu should not be a follower.

Moreover, frankly speaking, Zhu Yuan didn't want it at all.

Even though Wu Liang was disgusted by Lao Zhu, his qualifications were still there, and he didn't make any big mistakes.

Just like in the past, when Hongwu made a great meritorious official in the third year, Lao Zhu actually gave Wu Liang a Marquis of Jiangyin. After this general died well, he entered the temple of meritorious officials with his younger brother Wu Zhen.

For such a person, Zhu Yuan was afraid that he would not be able to command, and let it go if he couldn't get things done. If something bad happened, it would be even more troublesome.

Then there is Hu Weiyong.

Compared with Wu Liang, Zhu Yuan can understand Lao Zhu's thoughts. The 13th year of Hongwu, and even extended to the 23rd year of Hongwu. Everything is because of Hu Weiyong.

Therefore, Lao Zhu definitely wanted to deal with this one in advance.Especially at the moment, when he is about to go north, perhaps he is even more reluctant to leave this person in Jinling.

The question is, what are you doing for me?
Because of this, Zhu Yuan also remembered a bad move he made to Lao Zhu before. When Lao Zhu left Jinling next, in order to restrain Li Shanchang, he could call Liu Ji back.

Lao Zhu didn't do this, and even reprimanded him a few words in his reply.

just now……

Ancestor, you are worse than me! ! !
