Chapter 971 Construction of Southern Liaoning (Part [-])
Regarding the possible formation of an anti-Gao alliance, Gao Yushi is not unpredicted, but he is not very worried about it.

The infiltration of the Nine Frontiers by the Heart School was too late, and far inferior to the ten or twenty years of intensive cultivation of the Real School. Among the Nine Frontiers of the Ming Dynasty, the generals of Xuan, Da, and Shanxi towns, which had the most concentrated forces, had long been under the Gaodang (Pan) sect. , and Qi Jiguang of Ji Town is also a die-hard supporter of the Gao Party. These four towns alone account for more than half of the troops on the Nine Frontiers. What's more, Shaanxi has been an ally of the Jin Party since Ma Ziqiang's era, so naturally it is also practical now. One faction dominates.

To put it simply, the School of Mind wants to add sand to the nine sides, and currently only Li Chengliang can make an idea.

But this is of little significance, because Zhu Yijun is still in an ambiguous state of mind about whether to continue to use Li Chengliang. He is actually waiting for a high-level and pragmatic judgment. This is also one of the main reasons why he agreed to Gao Yushi's appointment in Liaodong. .

That being the case, Gao Wushi naturally does not have to worry about Li Chengliang running to seek the support of the Xinxue faction, because although it is not easy for the emperor of Ming Dynasty to mobilize a civil servant, he has to have a chance, but it is very easy to mobilize a general. Especially when the military general still has a title on his head—it's over when he returns to the court as the governor of the Five Armies.

The status is full for you, please hand over the real power.

For this kind of treatment, Li Chengliang has no way to do it, unless he rebels, but he said before that, it is completely impossible, and he does not have that condition.

So after Gao Wushisuo took Li Rugui, he directly sent someone to arrange a ship and sent him to Shandong——the Xunyan censor of Liaodong is currently concurrently serving as the Shandong Xunyan censor.

And he himself began to promote the long-planned "Building Southern Liaoning" plan in his mind.

The "Construction of Southern Liaoning" plan is a relatively comprehensive plan, and the four major items of agriculture, industry, industry and military are all missing.

"Agriculture" is divided into two parts, one is planting and the other is fishery.

A large part of the land in the Liaodong Peninsula is brown soil, which is a kind of sandy and loose soil developed on granite, gneiss, and phyllite, which is not very suitable for farming.In addition to brown soil, there are coastal saline soil, paddy soil, meadow soil and dark brown soil.Among them, coastal saline soil, as the name suggests, is developed from saline silt.

Generally speaking, the area suitable for rice planting is not large, but according to the survey results of Gao Pragmatics, in fact, these soils that are not suitable for rice planting are still being planted, but the yield is really not good.

Gao Wushi remembers that the Ministry of Household Affairs received many reports from Liaodong Yuan Ma Siqing about this, saying that there was a problem with the grain production in southern Liaoning. Now it seems that it is not nonsense. for objective reasons.

But Gao Yushi still has a way to increase the grain production in southern Liaoning - he does not have the supernatural ability to change the nature of the soil, he just has two other trump cards.

That is the sweet potato and corn seeds that Gao Qi seized from the pirate lair in Taiwan after the decisive battle in Fujian.

There are many mountains in southern Liaoning, and the soil on the mountains is not very suitable for agriculture, but this landform is quite similar to many areas in Mexico. Since Mexico is the kingdom of corn, it is obvious that southern Liaoning can also grow corn in large quantities.

And compared to sweet potatoes, which are more suitable for the south, Gao Wushi plans to focus on corn in southern Liaoning—or eastern Liaoning, and even the entire Northeast region in the future.

Corn is the largest single crop in the world in later generations (you read that right, corn accounts for 35% of the world's total grain production), and the global production is about 10 billion tons, while China's corn production at that time was about 2.6 million tons.

This shows that the yield of corn can be very high, but Gao Yushi intends to focus on the corn industry in the north, and the more important reason is feed.

The characteristic of corn is that it not only has corn grains for human consumption, but also many parts of its whole body can be used as high-quality feed. In later generations, 60%-70% of China's corn production is used for feed processing, which can prove its importance in this field. Excellence, even excellence.

This is great, because this is the hope of the other half of the Ming cavalry - the previous half is Tumed.

As for whether it can still be used in the breeding industry in the further future... This is a matter for the future.

In addition to food in agriculture, there is another thing that few people pay attention to, called tussah.

Tussah silkworm, also known as mountain silkworm, originated in the central and southern regions of Shandong Province, and its cocoon silk production is second only to silkworm.Its cocoons can also be reeled, mainly used for weaving tussah silk, and the worm body is not only edible, but also used as medicinal materials, and is also a very powerful aphrodisiac, as recorded in Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica".

Of course, the high-practical purpose is to use it to reel silk, and strive to bring a new profit point to Liaodong——With the gradual rise of maritime trade, the great development of the silk industry in Ming Dynasty is just around the corner. It is purely stupid to find ways to increase production capacity, because in this era of handicraft industry, the market performance of silk is always in short supply, and there is no need to worry about selling it anyway.

The planting of corn is easier, because the southern Liaoning area is a military-administered area, and Gao Yushi is equivalent to the emperor of the soil at a certain level. After Li Rugui is dealt with, the other three guard commanders dare not stand in front of Gao Yushi. Naughty, don't let them grow corn, even if they are asked to play with mud, they will not refuse.

The commander of the guard station in southern Liaoning is also similar to a local official, or has a lot of administrative power. He can force these matters in the local area without persuading and educating them—the guards below are like serfs. Isn't it just planting whatever the owner says?
Of course, Gao Pragmatism is not blindly reckless. He still has a reward and punishment mechanism. This mechanism is relatively complicated.Generally speaking, if you grow well, you will be rewarded according to your ranking, and if you grow poorly, you will be punished according to your ranking.

In addition, for the group of people with the highest "unit yield per mu", Gao Yushi not only rewards them, but also invites them to impart experience, and even guarantees that this group of people can send their children to the capital to study in Gao Yushi's Jinghua Craftsman School .

Children who are selected to study are not only free of board and lodging, school repairs and other expenses, but as long as they are not punished in the school, they will also be rewarded with two taels of silver every month.

Two taels of silver is not a small amount. In the capital, it is equivalent to the monthly income of an ordinary worker without special skills, and in Liaodong, it is even equivalent to the standard of an adult long-term worker.

Therefore, regarding the promotion of corn planting, Gao Pragmatism thinks it is easier to handle.

But for tussah silkworms, the trouble is a bit bigger. First of all, the problem of technical personnel is not easy to handle. First, someone must be sent to Shandong to find someone to teach technology. Fortunately, the administrative system of Ming Dynasty is very special. He has the title of envoy, and he has "acquaintances" who are officials in Shandong.

This acquaintance of Gao Yushi in Shandong, who had never even met in person, was Wang Tingshi, the elder brother of his Wang Tingzhuan in the same year. The relationship with the younger brother is considered to be the golden thigh of the Gaodang. He has been promoted to the right governor of Shandong Province, and now he is in charge of "internal affairs". It should be reliable to ask him for help.

As for fishery, there is no need to go into too much detail on this one. Liaoning Province is a big fishery province in later generations, and the southern Liaoning Peninsula is the top priority. Both freshwater and marine resources are extremely rich. To be more pragmatic, you only need to increase the investment in ships. That's enough, even the cultivation of fishermen can develop by leaps and bounds-bringing the old with the new.

It is also easy to invest in ships. Jinghua's two major shipyards are located in Guangxi in the south and Shandong in the north. Moreover, due to the influence of the sea trade trend, the two major shipyards have been desperately expanding their production. Now it is nothing more than expanding the shipyard in Shandong. Just expand.

Moreover, building a fishing boat is no different than building a warship. Not only is the hull much smaller, but the requirements for armaments are even lower, and the corresponding hull strength requirements are also much lower. The manufacturing speed is much higher than that of warships and armed transport ships. If the resource guarantee is in place, the production of dumplings can be exploded.

Of course, it is easy to build boats, but it is difficult to get fishermen to buy boats, because these Liaodong fishermen have no money at all.

Fortunately, before Gao Yushi was in the capital, he had convened the master craftsmen of the ship department to discuss it. It is not necessary to build a fishing boat that can be sailed by three or five people, but in fact it can only cast nets near the coast. Build a medium-sized fishing boat that requires thirty or forty people to go to sea, or even a large fishing boat that requires fifty or sixty people to operate.

First, go farther out to sea and salvage more. Second, this data is basically controlled according to the grassroots system in southern Liaoning.

For example, a naturally formed small village is generally suitable for a medium-sized fishing boat, while a larger village or small town can be used for a large fishing boat.

As for how to buy a boat?It's simple, [-]% down payment, and the rest will be repaid in ten-year installments, and even fish catches will be accepted.

What, can't you pay [-]% of the down payment?It doesn't matter, I also provide various flexible trading methods such as [-]% down payment, [-]% down payment, etc. Even zero down payment is not impossible, but... Cough, of course, the interest on this repayment will definitely be a little higher.

The only thing Gao Bingxian is kinder than some people of later generations is that he does not ask for collateral.

Of course, this is also the reason why he does not need collateral, because he is the local emperor in southern Liaoning, and he is not afraid of others who owe him debts in southern Liaoning.

The caring Gao Bingxian even has a more complete guarantee plan: you can buy insurance when fishing at sea, and Gao Bingxian will be responsible for ship damage caused by force majeure factors such as pirates and wind and waves--half-price repairs for wind and wave damage or new ones at a low price. Ships; Pirates plunder damage, should repair or buy new ships free of charge!

Because the problem of wind and waves cannot be solved pragmatically, they can only rely on their driving skills and the strength of the hull to resist, while the pirates... Humph!

First, it is not that there is no navy in southern Liaoning; second, Jinghua's Beiyang Fleet is not used for dry food! ——
