my steam dam

Chapter 109 No, it's just arrived! (Please subscribe!!)

"There is quite a lot of arable land here in Shanhaiguan, but there are relatively few people and a serious shortage of manpower. Therefore, Moyuan will try out some newly developed steam farming machines on our side first."

"This steam tractor, we have used it for two years, it is very good."

Fu Chang was very satisfied and introduced the steam engine to Penke.

His family, who also lived in this Guancheng, belonged to the first group of people who used steam tractors.

After personally trying it out, his family is very satisfied with the machine.

One machine is multi-purpose, it can be used for plowing in the spring, threshing when the wheat is harvested, and it can be directly pulled to the city to sell the grain to the official warehouse after threshing.

After the first year of trial, this year, his family and neighbors raised money to buy a steam tractor from Daming's government-run machinery factory.

Every time Fu Chang came home from vacation, he would go to his field outside the city to have a look at the steam tractor.

With this machine, his family's work is easier, and there is more land that can be cultivated.

There are not many other things in Shanhaiguan, except that there is a lot of wasteland, and the area outside the pass near Liaodong is all undeveloped wasteland.

Moreover, there is no need to spend extra money to buy the wasteland reclaimed by the military. As long as you pay taxes normally, you can plant as many fields as you can.

It's just that you need to pay more taxes in the first ten years, and it will return to normal later.

But even so, if you can develop an extra acre of land, it will be profitable!

The policies of Emperor Hongwu in this life are much stronger than those in the previous life.

I don't know if it's because of greater external pressure, or the changes brought about by the former Mohist tycoon.

In border towns like Shanhaiguan, where there is still a lot of wasteland that can be developed, as long as the military family is willing to open up more wasteland, the land can be half sold and half given away.

However, the border towns near the grassland, such as Daidi, did not have such a good treatment.

It's not that Emperor Hongwu was stingy, the main reason is that Dai's land is all Gobi or grassland, and there is not much arable land to develop.

Since the Han Dynasty, it has been notoriously barren and can only eat sand.

But now that there is a railway, the living conditions of the garrison in Daidi have also improved.

Although the land is not much, but the money given is much.

Various garrison subsidies can get twice the salary of the inland garrison a year.

There is a steady stream of railways to transport supplies, and there is no need to worry about not being able to spend the money on hand. As long as the things in Daming are available, they can be bought in Daidi.

The boy's day was quite leisurely.

"That's right, it's really good." Penke pouted, watching the figure of the steam tractor beeping away, admiring.

Although this thing is much simpler than his steam locomotive in Yingtianfu.

But it's practical.

For farmers, the productivity has been greatly improved.

After the ravages of the northern barbarians in China, the population has been greatly reduced. Now all over the country, except for the south of the Yangtze River, there is a lot of wasteland in other places, which is in a situation where the land is not enough and there are not enough people to cultivate it.

It is the time when this kind of machine that can improve the efficiency of farming is needed, so that the common people can cultivate more fields.

As the population increases in the future, there will be insufficient arable land.

Please, by that time, Daming's industrial society should have started.

At that time, I am afraid that the factory will be more short of people than the fields, and some people will rush to the factory, and they may rely more on steam machines to cultivate the land.

Even if it is true that there is not enough arable land, there is plenty of land in Liaodong, Nuergan, and the Southwest Peninsula in the south!
Asia is so big, it is enough for Ming to accumulate primitive resources and run into the industrial society.

At that time, the people will not only have to plow the fields.

The issue of land annexation will no longer be a problem that plagued or even destroyed dynasties.

It's time for the people of Ming Dynasty to look up from the fields and see this vast world more.

However, the problem of land annexation was gone, and the new class conflicts that came with the industrial society were probably another headache for Daming.

While thinking wildly in his mind, Penke wandered aimlessly in the streets of Guancheng.

Driven by steam power, the Mohist puppet mechanically bowing and applauding repeatedly is clapping and shouting at the door of the shop.

"The newly arrived Cheng's Watch Shop pocket watch, you can take it home with only three taels of silver!"

Words that sound almost like a real person's voice came from the mouth of the mechanical doll.

But alas, it just repeats that sentence.

"Guancheng also has the puppet of the Mohist mechanism?"

Penke finally saw an item he used to see.

Mohist mechanism puppet.

This thing is so strange, it is a unique technology of Mohism in this world.

It has flourished since thousands of years ago.

It's just that the previous machine skills suffered from the lack of a stable energy supply. From the earliest machine birds to the later various machine beasts, they all needed people to drive them.

Some small mechanism creations are quite good to use, such as hand crossbows, mechanism birds, and glider, all of which have their own unique features.

Although that's pretty cool.

But on the large-scale mechanism beasts, and the anthropomorphic mechanism dolls, after all, it is still not so interesting.

Large-scale mechanism beasts need a stable power source before they can be driven.

China had never had a stable source of power other than manpower before, so although the Mo family had built some mechanism beasts, they were all flashy.

If you want to drive the mechanism beast, you need a person to hold the joystick to control it and give the mechanism beast power.

That is, what the beasts can do, human beings can also do.

Isn't this superfluous!

But after the steam engine was developed, the mechanism technique of the Mohist school was completely different, and the industry was upgraded.

Mechanized dolls like this only need to use a steam engine to provide a stable power, and do not need waste of manpower. The doll can repeat the movement according to the set action continuously for twelve hours a day.

Coupled with a tape recorder, it is very suitable to record a hawking speech in advance, which is very suitable for attracting customers to merchants.

And the puppet can also set some complex actions, and can repeat some actions such as carrying goods.

On the battlefield, suicide attacks can also be carried out, and groups of soldiers rush to the northern barbarian army to play "human" meat bomb attacks.

And some mechanism beasts can be further used as war machines.

For example, the steam mechanical dog that Peng Ke used when he was in Suzhou.

However, the Mohists are still in the initial stage of research on this route, and everything is still being explored and immature.

The most mature work so far is the soliciting puppet with a mechanical tape recorder integrated in its mouth, which can play the recording repeatedly.

Now in some first-tier prefectures of Ming Dynasty, many shops along the street are using this kind of mechanical dolls.

Not to mention, for Penke, it felt like visiting a commercial street in his previous life.

All the loudspeakers repeatedly play the store's promotional slogans and discount activities.

There is that smell, and the taste is still very strong!
Standing outside this grocery store, Peng Ke, who was nostalgic for the atmosphere of the commercial street in his previous life, was about to lift his legs and walk into the store, ready to take a stroll and see what was on sale.

A burst of hurried footsteps came from far to near.

The soldier in leather armor trotted up to Fu Chang and Peng Ke, and said out of breath, "General Peng, there is a new military order from Yingtian Mansion."

"The governor, please rush to the garrison camp immediately!"

Penke twitched the corner of his mouth.

isn't it?
He just arrived at Shanhaiguan!

Shouldn't it be some dispatch order? !

He is not even familiar with the soldiers under his command!
