Daming: The county magistrate cried poorly and Zhu Yuanzhang exploded in anger

"Brother Zhang, I didn't expect you to think so far. You are really educated." Zhu Biao said in surprise.

"Okay, let's eat, this is the first time we Chaner have made so many new flavors..."

Zhu Biao was exhorted to eat food, which ruined Qinqin.

Yuchan also knew how to cook before, but it was just ordinary cooking, and she couldn't compare with the chefs in restaurants. Recently, Zhu Biao asked him to learn the cooking skills, so he devoted himself to studying dishes.

With the foundation, it is much easier to do anything, so you only need to refine it, and you can cook delicious meals with the effort of cooking.

Don't use chopsticks to pick up a piece of chicken leg and put it in your mouth to chew. Suddenly, the whole taste buds are conquered by the beautiful taste of the food. It feels like the whole person is floating, as if in the air, surrounded by air bubbles, as if entering a fairyland.

"Oh my god, it's much better than the food made by the imperial dining room!"

Zhu Biao was full of praise.

"You can eat more if it tastes good." Yuchan was very happy.

The food I made was praised by others, and of course I was very happy.

"Yuchan, you have to work hard in the future. The master still counts on you to make money."

No one could understand Zhang Song's implication.

The only person who can understand is Zhang Song himself.

"Originally, His Highness wanted to learn how to cook from you, but Mr. Zhang, you have a lot to do every day, and you still have to deal with the government affairs of Shihe County, so..."

The last time I remembered that I used finished ingredients to make hot pot for my father, I felt quite regretful. As a person who pursues perfection, once things are not perfect, I feel somewhat regretful.

"What's there to sigh about? Yuetan knows how to make hot pot base. I handed over my true skills to him, and asked him to teach you how to make hot pot."

Yuchan, who is going to be the prince's teacher, couldn't help but waved her hands repeatedly, saying that she didn't make it at all.

"Those who dare not be equal are equal. It is these stinky rules that create a combination of ranks. If these additions are not smoothed out, the court will continue to reincarnate."

After talking about it and bringing it to the court, Yuchan frowned.

"Master eats vegetables as long as he eats them, and he is talking about the court, don't you think it's boring?"

I don't like to talk about state affairs the most, especially when eating, which is a bit unpleasant.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhu Biao never dreamed that Yuchan, as a maidservant, would dare to directly hate Zhang Song.

"Yes, yes, Yuchan is right, let's drink tea and eat vegetables."

"Speaking of His Royal Highness, I want to build a brewery in Shihe County. Part of it will be supplied to Huang Gong, and the other part will be sold at a high price, only to those rich people."

"Since it is something exclusively for the palace, how can it be shared with the common people? It will definitely be very angry."

Zhang Song felt that everyone should be equal, and that the rights exercised by the emperor were given by the people and could not be stronger than the people.

So, if ordinary people drink a little, is it a crime of usurpation?
"In short, I know that Brother Zhang, if you want to reform the Ming Dynasty, you must do everything step by step. The tradition that flows in the blood of our Chinese nation is too deep-rooted, and it cannot be changed overnight."

After contacting Zhang Song, Zhu Biao gradually became more enlightened.

He supported Zhang Song's reform from the bottom of his heart.

It's just that everything must be done step by step, and you can't rush it.

There is a saying that haste makes waste.

"Thank you, Prince. Zhang Song will keep it in mind."

After talking with Zhu Biao for a while, it was too late.Zhu Biao had to get up and say goodbye to Zhang Song. Zhang Song was also going to Shihe County to build a brewery. After extorting 40 taels of silver from your house, he took 35 to improve people's livelihood. The remaining 5 taels of silver, Zhang Song Going to do some business.

It doesn't cost much to build a brewery, far less than the cost of building a water plant.

What's more, his beer supply is only supplied by a small number of people. He originally wanted to give everyone beer to drink, but Zhu Yuanzhang must be unhappy, so it is still Zhu Biao. That sentence must be done slowly. Too hasty.

The next day, Zhang Song took Lin Zhenzhen and Yuchan to Shihe County.

When he arrived in Shihe County, Zhang Song issued his own order to build such a brewery in Shihe County.

Of course, the construction of the reservoir is also in full swing. The construction of the water conservancy project in Shihe County cost 15 taels of silver.

People from the Water Conservancy Construction Department came to investigate.

The solution proposed by these people is to use an earth dam, and then use a layer of stones on the outside for protection.

Zhang Song felt that such a water conservancy project was not reliable at all, so he decided to transport cement from Penghu Island to build the dam.

After Zhang Song told his plan, the people sent by the Ministry of Industry shook their heads and said that they had never heard of cement.

"If you don't know what cement is, please go to the riverside in Liuhe to see it. You can know what cement is at a glance. In addition, steel bars are used to make cages for building dams, and then cement is poured in them. This kind of dam , Even in the event of heavy rainfall and huge flash floods, the dam will not be destroyed.”

These people from the Ministry of Industry have worked for more than ten years, and they have never heard of such a plan. They said that they could not agree to such a plan. If something went wrong, their people from the Ministry of Industry could not afford it.

"You can't afford it. I can write to the emperor directly. I believe His Majesty the emperor can understand what I'm talking about."

Zhang Song felt that he couldn't explain clearly to these people from the Ministry of Industry, so he prepared to write a booklet, and God gave it to the emperor.

"I said, Mr. Zhang, you are too naive. The entire Dalian has very strict control over iron. How much steel do you need to build so many lands? Moreover, the technology of the whole Daming Yangang is only an annual output of [-] jin of iron. You have to use at least several million or even hundreds of millions of catties for these steel..."

The steelmaking technology of the Ming Dynasty was still small steel furnaces, not the large boilers used in modern civilization to smelt steel. Moreover, modern steelmaking also adopted some catalytic means to fully smelt iron out of ore.

Therefore, the backward ironmaking technology led to very low production.

Moreover, in the era of cold weapons, the dynasty’s control over iron was very strict, just like the control over guns in later generations. After all, if ordinary people want to make trouble, they can pick up a hoe or cut a branch and put an iron point on it to rebel against Ming Dynasty. dynasty.

The production cost of cold weapons is too low, so the control of iron weapons is quite strict.

Every household has strict requirements for the use of agricultural ironware, and it must be registered in the register. Every household cannot exceed the prescribed amount, but if it exceeds, it will be punished as a crime of rebellion.

Zhang Song's idea is perfect, but it is quite difficult to implement it in practice. First of all, the ironware is controlled.

Besides, even Zhu Yuanzhang let go of the iron.

Daming's steelmaking technology also resulted in not so much steel.
