It's just that Shaanxi now has food to eat, but due to transportation problems, all the sweet potatoes and potatoes grown in Shaanxi cannot be transported out, so what Yang Lian said is that farmers feed sweet potatoes to pigs.
But this also shows from another aspect that Shaanxi at least has no problem with enough food to fill its stomach.
Yang Lian said: "Your Majesty, I am planning to carry out land cultivation all over the country.
This requires the assistance of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Bureau of Ordnance and Agricultural Cooperatives.
I can communicate with Bi Shangshu, but the Bureau of Ordnance and Agricultural Cooperatives are a bit troublesome. " The Ordnance Bureau and the Agricultural Cooperative are not institutions under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
The former is owned by the royal family, and the latter is a large joint-stock trading house.
Therefore, Yang Lian had no way to directly order them what to do.
He had to give orders through the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao said: "The Ming Civilian Machinery and Tool Cooperative, a subsidiary of the Ordnance Bureau, is now under the control of Wei Zhongxian.
I will instruct the factory ministers to work closely with Yang Qing, and the agricultural cooperative is also under his control.
I will not bother the two masters.
Yang Qing will find He'll be fine."
Yang Lian reluctantly agreed.
He had an old grudge with Wei Zhongxian.
He had punished Wei Zhongxian too hard back then, and he was a little worried that Wei Zhongxian would cause trouble at this time, but it was not easy to talk in front of the emperor.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhongxian came to the Ministry of Agriculture the next day to ask for a meeting.
He humbly asked where he was required to cooperate.
He agreed to Yang Lian's request, which made Yang Lian sigh.
After coming out of the Ministry of Agriculture, one of Wei Zhongxian's confidants asked: "Old ancestor, Yang Lian was not very friendly to our ancestors back then.
Now we are not afraid of him, why are we so polite to him?"
Wei Zhongxian said angrily: "That was then, and today is today.
What Yang Lian did back then was not a personal grudge against me, but out of public motives, so I can't blame him entirely.
Of course I will inevitably be angry in my heart.
But now that everyone is doing it for the public good, we should not abandon the public service for personal reasons and hinder the great cause of the Holy One. " I don't know how this word got out.
After hearing this, Yang Lian said: "Lian's magnanimity and magnanimity are not as good as those of an internal prisoner.
I am ashamed and ashamed."
With Wei Zhongxian's full support, Yang Lian easily obtained a large number of tools on credit through the agricultural cooperative.
These tools manufactured by the Daming Civilian Machinery and Tool Cooperative were light, flexible, and most importantly durable, making the Ministry of Agriculture's Peigao Field Plan successful.
It went very smoothly.
However, Zhu Youxiao emphasized that only those who meet the conditions for training can be carried out based on the specific situation, and do not train for the sake of training.
The great change of officials in the south reduced the resistance to the imperial order in the south.
The newly appointed officials who were interested in the imperial court mobilized and organized a large number of people according to the specific local conditions and on the premise of ensuring that local agriculture was not affected.
Strong farmers have formed a peasant work team and participated in the field reconstruction plan of the Ministry of Agriculture.
This is a good thing that can greatly increase the local economic aggregate.
Everyone knows that the prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction have money, such as public security and popularization of literacy.
What a benefit.
Seeing this situation, Yang Lian realized how much human resources were wasted in this world.
According to the number of migrant workers reported below, he estimated that within a year, at least 10 million acres of low-yield fields in the country could be transformed into high-yield fields.
The total cultivated land in the country is only more than 900 million acres, and many of them are Highly productive plain fields not suitable for improvement.
After Zhu Youxiao handed over everything to others, he came to the weapons bureau.
The Ordnance Bureau has separated the Ming Civilian Machinery and Tool Cooperative into a civilian trading company.
The department that researches and manufactures steam trains is under the direct control of the Ministry of Railways, and the research and manufacturing of printing machinery is under the direct control of the newspaper agency.
Now the Ordnance Bureau concentrates on the research and manufacture of weapons.
Zhu Youxiao established a hydraulic transportation bureau, and Fang Yizhi and Zhu Zhiyu's steamships were assigned to this bureau.
The director was temporarily held by Sun Yuanhua, who also worked in the Ordnance Bureau, but should soon move out of the Ordnance Bureau.

Stand on your own.
After Fang Yizhi received funds from the Ming Dynasty Royal Science Foundation, he conducted many experiments, and finally returned to the old path of using wooden boats in frustration.
However, it was not all the same old way.
Instead, a bow was made of iron sheets in front of the ship, which could reduce resistance and provide protection.
An iron-headed wooden ship with a speed of 16 miles was built.
After watching the sailing competition between Fang Yizhi's wooden boat and Zhu Zhiyu's wooden boat, Zhu Youxiao asked Sun Yuanhua: "Which of the two boats do you think is better?"
Sun Yuanhua said: "Your Majesty, if we talk about civilian use, Zhu Zhiyu's is better because it can greatly reduce the cost without using iron sheets.
However, Fang Yizhi's idea of iron-headed ships can be used on military ships.
If we wrap it around the military ships, Iron sheet, then at least it can make the ship safer, it can withstand ordinary cannonballs, and it is not easily affected by fire attacks. " Bi Maokang said: "Your Majesty, the square ship has 350 materials and the Zhu ship has 300 materials.
The two ships sailed for two hours and used the same coal.
The square ship is four miles longer, so I think the square ship's steam engine is more efficient."
It’s better than the Zhu Chuan.
But I’ve been on two boats, and the Zhu Chuan is more comfortable than the square boat, so I don’t know which one to choose.”
Zhu Youxiao looked at the nervous Fang Yizhi and Zhu Zhiyu and said with a smile: "Why should we choose?
The Hydraulic Transportation Bureau can build both cargo ships and passenger ships.
Since both ships have their own characteristics, let's start from these two directions and build both.
To the extreme.
Also, steam.
The speed of steamships will continue to increase.
It makes no sense that trains can reach speeds of more than 40 kilometers, and ships are still only 10 kilometers.
I think your method of adding slurry to the side of the ship is not good.
Didn't the Ordnance Bureau say that ball bearings are useless?
Find a use for you."
He asked someone to bring paper and pencil, and simply drew a picture and said: "This thing is called a propeller.
It is placed at the back of the ship.
When it rotates, it can make the ship move forward quickly.
Go and do some research.
Ball bearings are used here."
It should be suitable.
Let alone forty miles, there should be no problem if the speed is over twenty miles. " Fang Yizhi and Zhu Zhiyu stared at the sketch drawn by the emperor, quickly analyzing the feasibility of this new item in their minds.
Zhu Youxiao said: "Look at it, this must be better than your ship's oar.
When your ship's oar comes back, the energy is wasted, but this one is not wasted at all.
Remember carefully, I will ask for the real thing next time."
Let the two of you build it separately.
Whoever builds it more efficiently and faster will use his plan. " Sun Yuanhua and Bi Maokang looked at the sketch carefully and saluted at the same time: "The Holy Emperor is omnipotent."
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "I just remembered this today, otherwise I would have shown it to you.
Let them move out after the new place of the Water Power Transport Bureau is built.
After the river is cleared, the construction of the dock will also have to be advanced."
It's on the schedule, as well as the coal reserves at the docks and the mapping and marking of the shipping routes.
These are all very troublesome things.
I don't know who will be responsible for them.
I will let you know after the prototype of the new ship is developed.
I'll take a look.
