Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 171

"Everyone, it's the festive season, and I don't have much to say. I hope you all cherish the hard-won peace and pursue a better life." Chu Yun cupped his hands to the tens of thousands of people outside the mansion.

"Long live the Liao army, long live the inspectors!" Tens of thousands of ordinary people cheered in unison, and the sound shook the entire city of Jinzhou!
Being loved and loved by all the people, Chu Yun was moved Moming, not knowing what to say and what to do next.

"My lord, please whip the spring ox and welcome the mang god!"

Just when Chu Yun was at a loss, Chen Ting brought a group of officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, holding spring banners, beating gongs and drums, and carrying a clay cow.Wearing red silk and hanging red flowers, the mud cow came out of the crowd, attracting the people of Jinzhou City to watch.

Chen Ting came in front of Chu Yun, and put his hands up on wicker sticks.

"Good job." Chu Yun took the willow stick and whispered to Chen Ting.

Chen Ting bent down more humbly.

Holding willow sticks in his hand, Chu Yun whipped the spring cattle lightly, then passed the willow sticks to his officials, and whipped the spring cattle one by one.

The old man on the side of the spring cows, when the officials whipped the spring cows, sang: "Welcome to the God of Mang, whip the spring cows, the first dozen will bring good weather, the second will make the country prosperous and the people safe, the third will be good for the grain, the fourth will be prosperous and the six livestock will be prosperous, the fifth will be all right, and the sixth will be good." The world is peaceful..."

The vicissitudes of life echoed in the surrounding streets, making people hopeful.

Chu Yun looked sideways at the mud cow being whipped out of shape, and gradually restored its original appearance, still feeling a little emotional in his heart.Some traditional customs symbolize farmers' yearning for a good harvest and a better life in the coming year, and they are very meaningful.

After the officials finished whipping the spring cattle, Chu Yun ordered his subordinates to place all middle-level officials in nearby houses and set up a banquet. Only high-level officials had the opportunity to enter Chu Yun's official residence for drinking and eating.

"Hurry up and grab it, if it's later, there will be no more!" After Chu Yun and the officials left, the people outside the mansion went crazy and started to grab the broken cattle.

For them, these soils are a symbol of a good harvest, which may bring good luck this year.

"I snatched a piece of soil knocked down by the inspector. I want to enshrine it and burn incense day and night. I will be full of children and grandchildren in the future!" An uncle who was only in his 40s grabbed a small piece of soil and couldn't help being overjoyed.

"Nonsense, the dirt in my hand was knocked down by the inspector!" Other people who grabbed the dirt shouted.

All of a sudden, tens of thousands of people looted, and there was a lot of noise outside the mansion, but the soldiers maintaining order were exhausted.

Chu Yun ordered people to close the gate of the mansion, which slightly cut off the noise outside.The people who entered the mansion were all high-level officers and bureaucrats of the Liao Army!Officers must be at least above the brigade level, officials must be managers at the bureau level, and the ministers of the Academy of Sciences can enter, and everyone has power in their hands.

"Everyone has worked hard this year. We have gone through the most dangerous and difficult period of time. If not for everyone's concerted efforts, we would not have achieved what we are today." Chu Yun sat down with everyone, "I'm looking for everyone to come today. I came here to learn about the progress of various departments, and secondly, I wanted to comfort everyone."

There are a lot of talents in the hall, there are thirty or forty people.

"My lord, our Agricultural Bureau successfully took over the farmland of the Jurchen landlords in Liaodong City before Zhengdan, and established [-] large farms. Under each large farm, there are several small farms, which are contracted to ordinary villagers. In the spring of next year, ice and snow The Ministry of Agriculture will instruct them on how to plant. As for the farms in southern Liaoning, the crops of corn, potatoes and other new crops planted in spring and summer this year have a good yield, and it is expected to increase the scale of planting this year. We also plan to open up new crops this year. The fertile land will increase the area of ​​arable land by [-]%." The officials from the Ministry of Agriculture were the first to report to Chu Yun.

"We have as many as seventeen mines, and Iron Mountain is still our largest mine. However, it is expected that Anshan Mine will be established this year. This mine will be larger than the Iron Mountain Mine. We are working on Ready to recruit more mining workers..."

"The government-run textile factory has tens of thousands of workers, countless looms and steam engines, and is producing yarn, silk, and dyes day and night. At present, some businessmen from Nanyang even come to us to buy."

"There are more than [-] students in the Academy of Sciences, among which the Department of Natural Sciences and the Department of Humanities are the most prosperous. There are Ming students specializing in research in each discipline, and they can graduate within two or three years. We want to triple the size of the Academy of Sciences." .”

……

All the high-level executives knew that they could not escape the hurdle of reporting at the end of the year, and they had already made up their minds, and all of them answered fluently.To be honest, with the technology that is more advanced than the surrounding countries, under such a momentum of development, as long as the head of the department is not a waste, every department will be thriving.

"Our Ryukyu Propaganda Office counted the population of the Ryukyu area last year and made a household registration. At the same time, five private schools were set up in Ryukyu to teach Chinese, scientific and cultural knowledge, and changed the official language of the Ryukyu area to Chinese. At the same time, According to the order of the military department, we selected a thousand young men from the local Ryukyu population, established the Ryukyu infantry battalion, and are training them to fight in the mountains and jungles." Officials who returned from Ryukyu to southern Liaoning also reported to Chu Yunhui.

The Ryukyu area is a link that Chu Yun attaches great importance to, so the status of the Ryukyu Xuanzheng in the Liao Army is not low.

"It's just..." the officials from the Ryukyu Xuanzheng Office seemed to be hesitant.

When he stopped, many high-level officials turned to look at him.

"What's the matter with you, but it's okay to say, if it's not your responsibility, I won't pursue it." Chu Yun saw that he was embarrassed, so he said.

"There are a lot of military masters. Our Ryukyu Propaganda Office is in charge of the Ryukyu area. There is Dongying in the north and Yizhou in the south. It is at the intersection of the air routes, which will inevitably affect the minds of many people. Recently, our residents living on the southern islands claimed to have discovered Yizhou. Although we have no conflicts with pirates now, once they covet our property, with our Ryukyu infantry battalion and Ryukyu squadron stationed in the Ryukyu squadron with more than a thousand people and a few small ships, I am afraid that we will suffer. "Ryukyu An official from the Propaganda Department said.

The pirates in the southeast have noticed the movements of Ryukyu?Chu Yun was slightly upset.Liaodong has not been pacified yet, so it is not suitable for two-front warfare.And now my own navy is not strong enough, and I don't have enough funds to go south to sweep up the pirates...

"You keep a low profile for the time being, wait for the ice and snow to melt, and we will strengthen the defense of the Ryukyu area after we pacify Liaodong. Even... I will personally lead the fleet to the Ryukyu Islands to investigate." Chu Yun said.
