Chapter 102 The river mud makes a fortune, a miracle of healing
Several times due to poor supervision and maintenance, chickens and ducks have been discarded and lost, and even people can't afford it. The dividends and monthly deductions are troublesome, and the waste that happens in front of you makes it even more unacceptable.
After leaving the slaughtered and divided yard, Zhu Da looked calm and said nothing. Everyone's expressions became much more relaxed, and a smile appeared on Zhu Shitou's face.
If you first come to this "River New Village", you will think that this place is composed of large courtyards. You can only see the courtyard walls when you look outside, but only after you walk here will you find that there are other regulations. You can see some low houses here. Adults may have to bend down and bow their heads when entering and leaving. A very large circle of fences surrounding the house extends to the river. What is even more surprising is that the fences and fences even plunge into the river, and the river surface is densely exposed.
Looking at two small doors in the west of this yard near the river bank, there were several strong women outside the door busy. From time to time, young girls came outside with baskets, and the baskets were filled with birds and eggs.
After arriving here, Zhu Shitou patted Zhu Da on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Super, you two masters and Qingyun, come to your house for dinner." The others bowed their hands and said hello and left.
Only Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun walked towards the courtyard. The wives in front of the door were not so respectful, and they also smiled and said hello to let them in.
Building regulations like "Hebian New Village" are not common, especially this kind of high-walled courtyard connected to the tracts. The military people in all villages and even the townsmen of Zhengjiaji are used to being much smaller, which makes people working here even less adaptable. A sense of depression is inevitable, even Zhu Da.
But after entering this yard near the river, I immediately became relaxed and happy. After all, the fence is not a high wall that is airtight. The yard is connected to the river surface. Although there are fences on the river surface, it looks like it is open and transparent at first glance. The mountains and rivers on the other side seem to be part of the yard. In this situation, there is a previous comparison, and people will naturally feel better.
The summer is sunny and the green mountains and clear waters are indeed a beautiful scenery. If there were no such many ducks clattering and scent of excretion, all this would be even better.
Linhe was located in grass nests and beach areas. In the past, there was no such terrain by the Xiami River. This was done to facilitate duck laying eggs and activities. There were a lot of rumors at that time, let alone people who were laughing at it, but after seeing the effect, they were shocked and dropped their chins.
More than twenty young men and girls were patrolling the river beach. The teenagers covered their mouths and noses with cloth and shoveled the excrement into special baskets with small shovels. There are really a lot of excrement produced by so many ducks every day. Duck manure and other things are dirty, but they are very valuable fertilizers and manures are piled up in other places, and then transported to Baibao Village and Xiama Village Feitian. Some people come to ask for it in other villages, so they have to spend money or exchange things for them.
People in this village and neighboring villages are not using this fertilizer for nothing. They often need to trade labor. When this rule was first established, more than one person said, "The Zhu family even needs to do business for urination and drowning." However, after seeing the growth of the Zhu family, Xiang family and President Li's family, anyone knows that this business is uncomfortable, but they still have to do it.
After a year has passed, no one has complained. Looking at the harvest of their own fields, everyone is wondering if they can get more next year, or open some wasteland in the mountains, so that they can still get a higher level in this day.
"In addition to this business of urination and drowning, the business at the bottom of the river is also done. This is the descendant of the wealth prodigy to the earth..." This is also the words of the villagers. At first, the Zhu family used the same fertilizer as them, but later they switched to the river mud under the river section of the duck. This looked dark, but the fertility was even stronger. Originally, the Zhu family's fields could only be said to be medium, but they had already grown the best fertile land in the past two years.
Talk about it is a trivial matter, but everyone knows that the river mud is fertilized. Several river ditches around Baibao Village and Xiama Village and those semi-aborized canals have become popular. They have been cleaned up by the villagers. The silt inside is naturally used to fertilize and turn over the fields. This has the advantages of doing so. After the silt is cleaned, the ditches are unobstructed and conducive to irrigation.
The fertility has increased and the irrigation can keep up. The harvest in Baibao Village and Xiama Village has really increased. Every family of villagers is cheering. In addition, the income from working in the "new village" is that according to the old people in the village, "it seems to be in a good New Year."
No one has forgotten that these two villages are Baihu Forts in the Zuowei of Datong. Even after the harvest has increased significantly, they will never forget that they will be even more likely to be forgotten. Qianhu and the commanders were thinking about it in the first year, but these two villages have the face of a scholar and a patrol inspector, which is really difficult to take ruthlessness. Moreover, the village itself has force, and dozens of young and strong men have some formations, holding sharpened, roasted, hard and dirty wooden guns, which are not easy to meet.
The left guard of Datong did not have much confidence. Originally, nearly a hundred horse-riding servants in the garrison were appointed, but Yang Xiong got a real job in the army. In order to sit still and sit steadily, in addition to bringing his own force over, he also vigorously recruited horse-riding servants in the garrison.
Generally speaking, young and strong elites who can fight and fight have some thoughts in their hearts. They are unwilling to be thugs who urge rent and bully people. They can follow the army and fight in front of the formation to gain fame and fortune. This is what they wish.
As a result, Yang Xiongyi went to take office, and most of the horse-riding servants who could really fight at Datong Left were gone, and the rest were not brave enough to enjoy it. These people were okay to bully the ordinary Baihu Village, and they were powerless to deal with Baibao Village who had already been group and had a backer. Moreover, there were scholars and local tyrants behind them. In addition, the generals of Datong Left Guard had not completely digested the private salt business, so they just let it go.
This method of combining "production team" and "supply and marketing cooperative" is not worth mentioning in Zhu Da's more than 20 years of life, but it is extremely advanced in this era. It is equivalent to igniting the "market economy" fire in the deadly Datong Zuowei and Huairen County, or burning the weak and negligible flames. The prosperity of Zheng Jiaji allowed Huairen County and Datong Zuowei to follow suit.
The generals of the garrison and the officials and powerful officials in the county all got one and another in this prosperity, and they barely achieved a win-win situation. Considering the spikes behind this fat piece of meat, everyone just watched it.
Of course, it is not without people's idea of fattening up before taking action. However, no one expected that Zhu Da's industry would grow so quickly and his strength would increase accordingly, and there were some vague rumors that made many people feel doubtful.
There is another very important reason. Qin Xiucai was just over 30 years old. For scholars, he was still very young. He was not only concerned about him because he was a scholar. Although there were few scholars in Datong border towns, more importantly, Qin Chuan also has the possibility of the three-year provincial examination and the three-year imperial examination. He still has many possibilities on the road to prosperity. If he offended now, he will suffer any disaster in the future.
The concerns about young scholars are not only in Datong border towns, but also in the entire Ming Dynasty. People with rationality will think so. As for those shameful people, the rumors that have appeared over the years are enough to deter them.
There are the most girls in this big yard. They are either taking care of ducks, picking up duck eggs, and preparing food. This is also the reason why others do not follow them into the yard. There are too many women here, which is quite inconvenient. Although poor and remote places do not pay attention to ethics and precautions, they are not careless.
The girls and teenagers all saw Zhu Da. Those who were working could not say goodbye to each other. They bowed and bowed enough. Zhu Da didn't care about their etiquette. He and Zhou Qingyun looked at each other and felt strange that the person who should have come to greet him would not be seen.
The yard where the duck raises is managed by Zhu Da's mother, Zhu Wangshi and Li Chunhua, the daughter of Li Zongqi. Every time Zhu Da comes, they both welcome each other warmly. There is no need to say that the Zhu family's mother and son are in love. Everyone can understand the feelings of the Li family's daughter.
However, no one found it strange. Even the Zhu family's parents and Li Zongqi's family made up intentionally or unintentionally. After all, for the Zhu family, Zongqi is a noble family. For the Li Zongqi's family, there is no better son-in-law than Zhu Da within a radius of 100 miles.
Li Chunhua looked down on Zhu Da back then, but in recent years, her parents and brothers kept praising her. She had a lot of contact with Zhu Da for business and private affairs, and her favorability gradually became developed. Every time she saw Zhu Da, she always had a childlike mood, and Zhu Da's generous response made the daughter of the Wu family feel confused.
Zhu Da didn't have much thought about this girl, otherwise he wouldn't have dealt generously. However, Li Chunhua is much healthier and lively than her peers, and has a natural vitality. This makes Zhu Da have a good impression of her, but that's all. His attitude has caused another misunderstanding, and many people believe this misunderstanding. Many people in Zheng Jiaji and Baibao Village guess that Zhu Da might want to marry Qin Qin.
From a utilitarian perspective, marrying a young and wealthy scholar's only daughter must be much more beneficial than the three girls in the general flag. Moreover, there is a bit of childhood sweetheart between Zhu Da and Qin Qin. The reason why everyone did not confirm is that Qin Xiucai did not express his opinion. From an equally utilitarian perspective, Qin Xiucai married his only daughter to a lower-level military household. Although this military household is quite talented, it is not cost-effective.
How outsiders guessed, Zhu Da was too lazy to pay attention to it. He felt that he had not yet considered these things. Zhu Da was just wondering why he hadn't seen the person in charge here.
"Auntie and the others are there? That's not Master Yuan?" As a saber, Zhou Qingyun has good eyesight and he immediately discovered it.
Zhu Da was stunned when he heard this, thinking that Master Yuan Biao, didn’t Master Yuan lie on the bed after taking medicine? Why did he come here? Follow Zhou Qingyun’s instructions and see his mother and Li Chunhua supporting someone, and he looks like Master Yuan…The two of them looked at each other and ran over there quickly.
"Master Yuan, why are you getting up?" When he ran to the front and back, Zhu Da didn't even bother to say hello to his mother and asked in surprise.
It's really Master Yuan Biao and Master Yuan. It takes two or three miles to come from Baibao Village to Hebian New Village. It's very simple for adults and children. But Master Yuan couldn't stand it just now. How could he come over? What's even more strange is that every time he gets an old injury, his pale face is rosy at this time.
"The scenery here is really nice, it looks like a peach garden." Yuan Biao stood there and muttered. He was in good spirits at this time and didn't need anyone to support him.
After saying this, Yuan Biao turned his head and smiled and said, "I woke up just now. My body was very supple. I haven't felt so comfortable for several years. While I am so energetic, I might have all my old injuries healed."
The old wound will heal? That's a good thing. Zhu Da subconsciously became happy. Before he could speak, he saw that his mother Zhu Wang's expression was not right. Although he was also in a accommodated smile, it was easy to see that he was laughing for himself. However, Li Chunhua, who was standing aside to support him, was a little at a loss.
"That's great..." Zhou Qingyun next to him cheered.
"When Master Yuan is in good health, Qingyun and I will accompany you to Datong. Uncle Yuan, don't you always talk about it, do you still have to go to the side of the gate?" Zhu Da also said with a smile.
Panguan is the water and land wharf in Shanxi, the intersection of land and water routes between Shaanxi and Shanxi, and it is also the garrison of the generals of Shanxi. Although there is no reputation in later generations, it is now a prosperous place that can be almost comparable to the same.
Yuan Biao smiled and shook his head, saying slowly, "What are you going to Datong, Pianguan? I will take you to Beijing and Kaifeng for a walk, or go south along the canal."
After hearing what Master Yuan said, Zhu Da became excited. He always wanted to see a broader world and learn more about this era, but he was unable to go too far from capital and could not get out of it. But now it is different. With Yuan Biao, who is knowledgeable, the road will definitely be very exciting. Don’t worry about safety and gain a lot of knowledge. Of course, now there is no shortage of money in your hand and it will be very comfortable on the road.
Just as he was about to say something, Zhu Da saw his mother wink at him. From the beginning, he felt something was wrong with his mother Zhu Wang. Zhu Wang was not a stingy person. If you say that Yuan Biao's scars would indeed scare the common people, but that was when he first met him. Later, when he got to know each other, he treated Xiang Bo as much as he knew him. Yuan Biao was knowledgeable and a funny person. He was very close to him. Why is he like this today?
Zhu Da looked at Li Chunhua again. The girl looked at him at a loss now. After all, Li Chunhua is a girl and has a very delicate mind. Although she tried hard to get close to Zhu Da, she obviously realized something was wrong today.
What's wrong?
In addition to being surprised, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Zhu Da saw that his mother's forced smile and the emotions covered in his eyes were sad and sad.
Thinking about this, Zhu Da suddenly felt a thrust in his heart, mourning and sadness surged. What kind of miracle is there for recovery? This is a rebirth!
