Chapter 427 The Fair Army, All the Soldiers "When you get to the stopper, you will be assigned a field, as long as you are diligent and willing to work, you can become a small landlord!"
”In the army of displaced people going north, shrewd and capable, sharp-toothed Tsing Yi people appeared from time to time, and they encouraged the people from time to time."
It's useless to give us the fields, we have nothing, no money, no grain, no seeds, no plows, no oxen, not even a hoe, how can we farm?""
You have two ways, first, you can use yourself to borrow from Quanji, each man can borrow twelve taels of silver, women can borrow ten taels, children can borrow five taels of silver, your family of five, you can borrow up to forty-two taels of silver, with this money, you can buy plows, cattle, buy seeds, the first year of hard work, reclaim a few more acres of land, in addition to taxes, the rest of the grain can never be eaten, you can pay off the debt!"
The Chinese like to save money, but they don't like to borrow money, because the ancient usury could make them afraid.An honest homeless man stepped forward and asked, "I don't want to borrow money, is there any way?"
”"In fact, borrowing money is the most cost-effective, with an annual interest of two percent, and there is no need to roll interest, just like if you borrow forty-two taels of silver, after a year, you only need to repay the principal of forty-two taels of silver, plus the interest of eight taels of silver.""
Eight taels of silver is a lot, we dig in the soil to eat, and we can only earn a couple of jujubes a year.""
That's not how accounts are calculated......
Seeing that the people were afraid of borrowing, these nurses changed their words and said: "It's okay if you don't borrow, then rent!"
”"Rent?""
Yes, you can rent cattle, plows, hoes, and seeders from Quanji, you can rent anything, cattle, donkeys, mules and other livestock, after the autumn harvest, you can pay it back, but you can't be hungry and thin, they have to be weighed, if you lose weight, you will lose 20 catties of grain for losing a pound!""
What about that?""
You still have to borrow, and you have to borrow your rations, but you have to borrow as much as you want to repay 20 percent, for example, if you want to borrow 100 catties of grain, then when you pay it back, you have to repay 120 catties!""
That's pretty much it!"
A young man looked at his wife beside him: "When we get to the plug, we can reclaim thirty acres of land, and we will live a good life in the future!"
”At this time, some people also asked: "The Mongols on the plug are so fierce, what if they come to steal our grain?"
”"Hmph, they want to rob it, you think the fair army is vegetarian, as long as they dare to cross the line, they are not afraid that they will hit the, they will be clean!"
This is not bragging, since Luo Shiming took the Sixth Brigade of the whole family army to the north and arrived in Huaiyuan Town, he led the people to reclaim the wasteland, and soon turned Huaiyuan Town and the Hetao Plain into a land of fish and rice.As far as the eye can see, there are endless wheat fields or corn fields.With such a huge scale of grain, it is absolutely impossible to say that the Mongols are not blushing.However, the Fair Army has always retaliated like thunder for this kind of unearned behavior, as long as they dare to cross the line, they will fight, and if they run away, they will not count, but they will always catch up until the whole clan is subdued.Nowadays, there are quite a few people in the entire labor camp who have come here like this.At this time, the Mongols on the Tumo River faced the same difficulties as Huang Taiji, and wanted to fight, but unfortunately, they couldn't beat it, although the overall number of soldiers and horses of the Fair Army did not exceed 20,000, but the problem was that the entire Fair Army Division, regardless of men, women, and children, were issued with weapons.Those who have money can be equipped with armor, and those who don't have money can also break sabers or crossbow machines to defend themselves, and they can also follow the fair army to earn some reward money.As a result, as soon as they went south, they encountered the vast sea of people's war.All the gathering places of the Fair Army are in the form of forts, even if they are small, they are not the broken copper and iron in the hands of the Mongols can be captured, as the smoke burns, the Fair Army who heard the news will teach them how to behave.Whoever fights is unlucky, but he is willing to trade fairly, so Lin Dan Khan formed an alliance with the King of Fairness, and most of the other tribes maintained a good cooperative relationship with the King of Justice.When these homeless armies crossed the defense line of the Great Wall, those people in Tsing Yi stepped forward to contact them, or threw over a few tin cans, and the Ming army switched and let them go.…… The cold wind howling from the Mongolian plateau carried a merciless aura of slaughter.Chen Ying arrived at the Zhongzhu Surrender City, looking at this remnant surrendered city, his expression was a little depressed."
This place is so weird, it's March, and it's still so cold!"
Luo Shiming smiled bitterly: "No wonder this place will be abandoned, it's too cold, no one can stand it, and this ghost place is very arid, you can't plant anything......
Chen Ying smiled faintly: "Of course you can't plant anymore, there is alkaline wasteland here!"
”Luo Shiming smiled bitterly.In fact, the ancient people did not have any other good way for the alkali wasteland, if the alkali wasteland is in the rainy place in the south, there is a soil method to deal with, that is, deep ploughing for soil.Or use the power of heaven and earth to enclose the soil fence, and use the soil carried by the flood to improve the soil.It's a pity that in the middle of the surrender city, all this is very unrealistic."
Just because you can't grow food here doesn't mean you can live!"
Chen Ying pointed to the diagram drawn on the map and said: "To the north of here, we have found more than 40 small lakes of all sizes, all of which can be boiled salt, but I have thought of a way, anyway, they are all boiled, no need to take the kind of distiller that Quan Ye has, boil the salt in the lake water, and distill the water!"
”This is already a relatively primitive brine separation device, although the efficiency is not too high, but the key is that there is too much coal here, it is simply everywhere, just more than half a month of exploration, more than 100 coal mines of all sizes have been discovered."
This surrendered city is so dilapidated that it is no longer worth repairing!"
Luo Shiming looked at Chen Ying and said: "I thought that we should go north, here, here is the valley mouth of Yinshan, and it is also the ...... of the ancient road of Yinshan" "You don't know why Ma Tan lost the street pavilion, right?"
”Chen Ying pointed to the map and said: "Everything is good here, but there is no water, the valleys are all stony valleys, and it is difficult to dig wells!"
”"So what do you say?""
Let's go to Shimen!"
Shimen, also in the later generations of Baotou (this shit name), the hometown of Jiuyuan, King Zhao Wuling built the Great Wall in order to resist the attack of the Huns, and later the Great Wall was also built during the Qin Dynasty, but the south of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty moved more than 400 miles, which is equivalent to giving up the Hetao area.The castle was not abandoned, but was used as a post station on the official road, which continued to be built to the north.With this trip to the north, as many as four post stations were built, and the amount of work began to increase again.The problem is that although these projects are increasing, the progress is not delayed, but is increasing rapidly, because the population is also increasing.Relatively speaking, due to the fact that Huaiyuan Town is far away from the direct support of Quanxu, the development of science and technology here has not changed much, but in line with the principle of learning.Chen Ying also invested a lot of money in Huaiyuan Town, he studied Quan Xu, opened a messy school, and cultivated military and political talents.In addition to the production capacity of steel has exceeded 50,000 tons, the production capacity of wrought iron and pig iron has exceeded 200,000 tons, and excellent iron farm tools have successfully entered the homes of ordinary people.This result made Chen Ying very satisfied, in addition to steel and coal, by the way, there was also salt, which could barely satisfy Chen Ying, like the input of fertilizers, pesticides, and gunpowder, he smashed in more than 500,000 taels of silver before and after, but the problem is that the money was not spent, but the thing was not done.This made Chen Ying quite depressed.Why, what Quan Xu can do, he can't do?
Engaging in scientific research has never been an easy task, every little bit of progress is piled up with real money, and often an astronomical amount of money, manpower and material resources are invested, but in the end nothing is gained.This is the reason why modern Chinese companies are not very willing to engage in scientific research and innovation for a long time, the investment is too large, it took hundreds of millions to develop new technologies, and as a result, competitors only spent millions or tens of millions to poach a few core engineers, and made exactly the same product without much effort.Let them cry without tears, who is willing to engage in scientific research?
They all stared wide-eyed at who came up with the new technology and went over to poach people.In fact, it is not easy to engage in scientific research, many people know about steam engines, even if an engineering student who is familiar with steam engines from beginning to end, has a full set of drawings, so that in ancient times, he could not make qualified steam engines.This involves materials science, there are no hard parts, and you still make a fart?
Just like a cutter on an ordinary lathe, twenty or thirty years ago, the quality of Chinese manufacturing was far less durable than that of foreign countries, and the most critical problem was that there was no qualified alloy steel.These problems were not slowly solved until China became the world's factory, of course, not blowing or black, in the field of high-end end, China still has a big gap with foreign countries.The most mature technology of the Fair Army now is steelmaking, ironmaking, agricultural tools such as horse-drawn cart production, hoes, and ploughshares, and even the simplest seamless steel pipe technology, which has not made a breakthrough.Quan Xu is not very clear about Chen Ying's detailed practices, such as fertilizers and pesticides, if there is no technical support from later generations, let alone a year, in a few years, Chen Ying may not be able to see the results.Chen Ying had a headache, he had a headache, and Quan Xu actually had a headache too.Not only a headache, but also a pain in the egg."
It's time for you to do something!"
At Hong Haiyang's wedding, Hong Haiyang put his arm around Quan Xu's shoulder, lowered his voice, and looked in the direction of Li Siwei from time to time."
What's the matter with me?""
What are you pretending to be foolish with me?"
Quan Xu looked in the direction of Hong Haiyang, and saw Li Siwei holding a wine glass and raising it towards Quan Xu.Quan Xu was confused: "Brother Hong, are you mistaken, I treat Sister Li, no, our Vice President Li is very pure, absolutely no crooked thoughts, conscience of heaven and earth, don't look at her young, I treat her as a mother in my heart!"
”"That's right, Mr.
Li is just a girl!""
Su Tong ......?"
Quan Xu seemed to understand: "I have nothing to do with her, the relationship between superiors and subordinates, I really swear!"
