Chapter 611 Wheels

Zhang Han turned to Tian Jitang and smiled and said, "Old Tian, ​​do you agree?"

Tian Jitang smiled bitterly and said, "The court and the government have never done this. This is a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Can I object? ([8?<<(<1 Chinese<(Net]]]).}})."

Zhang Han's policy is only aimed at the core areas of Tiancheng Town Lu Liangwei and Lingqiu Guangling, and will not go beyond the area of ​​Lingqiu and Yanghewei at the farthest. In fact, it is within a 30-mile core area of ​​Lizhuang. The maximum expense of several thousand silver a year is spent, which is not too much pressure on Tian Jitang.

As for asking children to enroll, there are so many benefits that people know very well.

Children have been educated since childhood, and Zhang Han goes to visit and give lectures from time to time. Of course, the school respects Zhang Han very much. By example, by example, by example, push Zhang Han to a very high position, and raises and promotes them. These children come out after reading for a few years. Whether they join the army, enter the workshop, or become officials, they can imagine their loyalty to Zhang Han.

Moreover, Heyusheng's school is increasingly divided into education specialists. Compared with those who have studied in private schools since childhood, it is more effective and easier to integrate into the group Heyusheng.

At this time, a large group of people came to the east of the field. When they were closer, they realized that they were pushing gun trucks in the field. The guns were about nine-pound cannons, and there were several twelve-pound cannons. The gun body was much heavier than the four-pound cannons and six-pound cannons. These cannons were difficult to pull with horses like six-pound cannons, and the ammunition cannons were attached to the battlefield. These cannons needed more horses to pull, such as twelve-pound cannons, and the ammunition cannons had to be pulled by a few horses. The gun crew followed along. If they encountered difficulties, the gun crew members would help push and pull.

Now the terrain requires the help of the gun crew to push and pull. The fields freeze at this time. The surface is a whole block of soil, but the bottom is very muddy. It is very difficult for the gun team to walk. The wheels of the gun, people's boots and the hem of the clothes are covered with dirt, which makes it very difficult to walk.

Zhang Shixiong said at this time: "The gun team is conducting marching training on multiple terrain to calculate the average marching degree of various complex terrain."

The Shang regiment army originally equipped four-pound cannons first, but later started to install six-pound cannons. In the end, the reaction in the army was that the six-pound cannons were about the same as the four-pound cannons in terms of fire output and distance, and they did not play well in attacking enemies farther away. In the end, the military department decided to launch another nine-pound cannon and twelve-pound cannons, and the twelve-pound cannons were almost the limit of field cannons. They were pulled by eight horses, and the cannon weighed more than 3,000 kilograms. Calculation of the marching degree of this heavy cannon is also one of the important tasks of the Firearms Bureau in recent days.

The army still intends to install a large number of four-pound cannons and six-pound cannons. The effective range of this cannon is between 600 and 800 meters. With a small number of nine-pound cannons and twelve-pound cannons, they will also try to cast some eighteen-pound cannons or even twenty-four-pound cannons. Most of the red cannons made by the Ming Dynasty were eighteen-pound cannons.

This kind of cannon is mostly used on ships. Such heavy cannons were cast from the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the level of cast cannons was not low, but they really took the wrong path from the beginning. After all, they were cannons caught from the Portuguese shipwreck, and they mainly acted as guarding the city. The cannons were cast too bulky and lost their original function.

Zhang Han walked towards the artillery team at the front of the field and saw that the people limped over in front of the team were Tang Ruowang and others. It was obvious that he had walked too much and had blood blisters on his feet.

Zhang Han smiled and said, "Mr. Tang should not follow the artillery team anymore. Your important matter is teaching and solving technical matters, as well as books entrusted to you to continue to translate. They are all very important. Look at your feet being bubbled, it's so hard."

Tang Ruowang walked over with a limp, with a smile on his face: "I get used to it after walking for a long time. I have experience. The calluses on my feet cannot stop when they walk. If I continue walking, I will form cocoons again. If I have thick cocoons, I will not be afraid of walking far away."

Zhang Han nodded and said, "Mr. Tang said, most of our soldiers are like this. The new army walked to their feet during the day and bleeded continuously. He continued to walk the next day. Once a long-range marching came down, he would not be afraid of the next time."

Chau Wang endured the pain and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I would go so far again after many years... When I went from the capital to Guangning to preach, I walked back and forth, but later I built Nantang in the capital. I didn't walk for several years. This time it was really embarrassing."

Zhang Han smiled and said, "No matter what, the spirit of the missionaries is commendable."

Tang Ruowang used the verbal question to test it, just to see if Zhang Han would allow them to build a church here, but Zhang Han obviously did not agree, so he could only sigh in secret and give up this thought.

Zhang Han's attitude was also very simple. Because of the Nanjing lesson plan, the missionaries came to Datong and were very happy and welcomed these guys' knowledge reserves and practical uses, but if they were preaching, they would be spared.

Chinese people say that they are worshipping gods and doing it very well. In front of them, there is a small land temple at the intersection with the ridges of land in the fields. There are ancestral temples and a small temple in the village. There are many temples in Tiancheng Acropolis, Taoist and Buddhists. Basically, the people worship when they see gods.

However, it is rare in all nations to say that God does not worship God. If God is useful, he worships him. If he is useless, he will put it aside. There are very few crazy believers like the One God religion.

Even so, Zhang Han did not intend to let go of missionary work. China has its own heritage and does not use religion to solidify people's hearts.

There is a temple of Martyrs in Lizhuang, which enshrines the incense of fallen soldiers day and night, and is generous with the pension, which is enough.

Chau Wang said with a curious look: "Is Mr. Zhang paying attention to the farming in the spring in the fields?"

Zhang Han smiled and said, "That's right, after the spring starts, I plan to plant rice in these hundreds of thousands of acres of land near Lizhuang. Some land has to wait for the wheat to harvest, and some land is fallow land. After storing fertilizer, it can be planted directly on the day."

Joshua Chan said: "It seems that after the channel diversion, water conservancy has been improved. However, there is almost no experience in growing rice in Datong? When I was in the south of Daming, I saw a season of rice, a season of wheat, and in the north, it was a season of wheat, a season of beans or millet.

Tang Ruowang knew everything. Zhang Han praised in his heart, then smiled and said, "Although there is no rice planting here in Datong, it has been tried to plant it last year, and the harvest is excellent, higher than wheat. In the south, in the Huaihe River area, wheat planting in highlands and rice planting in lowlands, there is no need to say that rice cannot be planted in the north, and the climate and land conditions are not very different. In the past, it was mainly due to lack of water, especially in recent years. However, our water diversion project is doing very well, and two ripenings a year, one season, one season, one season, one season, and one season are already ripe."

Tang Ruowang looked thoughtful and said, "When I was in Liaodong, I saw that the paddy fields in the lowlands were barren for half a year after harvesting rice. I let the grass grow. I was afraid that the paddy fields would be soaked in water and there was no harvest at all. Here, I use canals to adjust the water volume, so there should be no such worries. The harvest of staple food in two seasons a year is equivalent to double the income... Congratulations to you."

"In addition to prone to flooding," Zhang Han said: "It is also related to the lack of fertility in the land. Before the Ming Dynasty, we had land with vast land and sparse population. We had land falling. This is different from Europe. If you plant land for a year, you will accumulate ground abilities. If you plant wheat for half a year and plant rice for half a year, the land fertility will be insufficient, and now the problem has been solved."

Chan looked at the people who were applying manure around him and bowed his hands and said sincerely: "There is no small matter between the farmlands, John has received teachings."

Zhang Han has always been an attitude that food is the top priority. Although He Yusheng has been buying and storing grain, the amount of sales has increased recently, and the inventory has decreased significantly.

In addition to the people who reclaim wastelands by more than 100,000 military civilians and civilians, and tens of thousands of workers, they all have to eat. The entire Datong grain trading industry is equivalent to being controlled by He Yusheng. It also has to include the food supply of hundreds of thousands of people in the core area. Food is indeed very important.

There will be a lot of land on the northern grasslands to try to grow cotton, and drought-resistant crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and sorghum. There are also staple foods for planting, but the quantity will not increase in a short period of time.

From Lizhuang to Lingqiu, He Yusheng controlled more than one million mu of land, which is a very large number. It can be of great use if it is properly managed.

Zhang Han felt that it was a bit risky when he tried to grow rice here in Shanxi. After all, the people had never planted it before. If he had not bought all the fields, he would not know how difficult it would be to promote it among the people.

The Chinese people are the most able to endure hardships, but due to their own experience, vision and the limitations of knowledge dissemination, many people say that it is not an exaggeration to say that the villagers are fooling the people. Even if there are good seeds, as long as they have not been planted, it is difficult for them to accept them.

I started trial planting last year. This year, I planned to plant all fallow land and most of the acres of rice. After the rice harvest, we will plant wheat. As long as the land fertility is ensured, the harvest will not be too low.

According to Kong Minxing's experiments and calculations, an average of four stones per mu can be obtained, and a high yield of five or six stones can be harvested. Compared with the average amount of eight stones per mu in Huguang, it is still worse than that of a general disaster in the north, and the average acre of land is only one stone or even lower, this has been greatly improved.

In the future, more than one million mu of fertile land can get 2 million stones of grain for the military department in one quarter, and then 20 to 3 million stones of wheat in another quarter, 50 million stones of staple grain and mixed grains a year are put into storage, which is already more than the total amount of grain transported by the capital in the year of four million stones.

With the national strength of a country, the Ming Dynasty spent a lot of financial, manpower and material resources every year to mobilize a large number of ships to transport grain from the south to the north, which was only 30 million stones of grain a year. When Zhang Juzheng was governing the country, the number of grain reserves in Tongzhou was only 10 million stones. Over the past few decades, Zhang Juzheng's remaining shade was still there. No matter how disasters and food shortages in the north were affected, the capital area was always quite stable. During the Chongzhen period, I don't know how many times the capital was surrounded, and I don't know how many people ran to the capital to take refuge, but the grain reserves were always enough, which made Chongzhen's country fall to the seventeenth year, and it was not because of the shortage of food.

With so much income and daily purchase of reserves from other places, the future of the north's cultivation will be successful, even if Zhang Han raises hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, he will have enough food.

Johnson Chan doesn't understand deep-level things very well. He just doesn't understand them as Zhang Han's words-

I would like to call on monthly tickets. Friends who support me, please vote for me for monthly tickets. I have been a little tired recently and need everyone's support and encouragement.
