Villager of Daming

Chapter 859 Maximum consumption of railway tracks
  "Just train more often? Throw bullets out for free?"

The commander understood it this time, just like practicing archery.

The difference is that if you shoot too much in archery, your arm hurts and you can't pull the string anymore. If you shoot too much in shooting, your arm actually hurts, even your shoulder. But you can practice this, but if you don't do archery, you can't.

Nowadays, people in Xiaqiu Village will practice shooting as long as they are over ten years old. Older people are also learning slowly. Their muscles and bones are not very good, and they are afraid of being killed by the recoil when shooting.

But you have to know how to do it and practice it adaptively. If you really need to fight, you can't let others protect you. Everyone should have the ability to kill the enemy.

Zhu Wentian nodded: "The future grenades, rifle grenades and mortars must be trained with live ammunition, and the soldiers must emphasize military discipline again and again.

Only when individual soldiers have high combat literacy can they win battles. They cannot rush forward like a swarm of swarms like during the initial uprisings in various places.

All post-war preparations are for wartime service. Veterans are rare. Fortunately, the current batch of sergeants have all fought in the war. "

Zhu Wentian actually thought of the Japanese pirate soldiers during World War II. At that time, their initial soldiers were very powerful.

No matter if an army encounters Japanese pirates, it will not be able to defeat them with the same weapons and numbers.

Their guns are accurate and they can fight back instantly when they encounter a sudden attack. The armies of other countries, especially the people of their own country, have to trade many lives with them.

Later, after their own country's army went to war, they fought with other countries, such as the coalition forces of Bangzi, and they became powerful.

Nowadays, the quality of the Ming Dynasty's army is high, and they have learned literacy and arithmetic. In the future, the veterans at the front will lead the recruits at the back.

“When productivity increases and more labor is available, young people can join the army and study for two or three years before returning home.

In this process, enough money must be given, otherwise people will be the breadwinners of their families. When will those who join the army not be required to support their families, when will they become soldiers who will be given very little money?

In the future, military households will be abolished, and some people will not be suitable for fighting. They will have to join the army because of household registration issues, which will not be good for anyone. "

After Zhu Wentian said this, he went into the laboratory and took the time to make a telegraph machine.

The liar didn't follow me in. You need to change clothes and shoes, eliminate static electricity, etc. It's troublesome.

He shook his head and turned away, intending to think it over carefully and tell His Majesty the next time he met him.

The people outside were very happy. The industrial zone was recruiting a large number of workers and paying a lot of wages, so they participated enthusiastically.

When the news spread, people in nearby prefectures saw that there was no work at home and ran to Yingtian Mansion.

The twenty-one villages in Xuancheng County, Ningguo Prefecture, have the largest number of people. They have rented out their livestock and have no money. All they have to do is feed them well.

They enjoy mechanized services, and a large number of people have free time to organize groups to go to the riverside and riverside. They take boats into the Rouge River without coming to Nanjing city and disembark directly in the industrial zone.

These people are most welcome in the industrial area. They are also literate and can arrange some slightly more complicated jobs.

……

Half a month passed in a flash, February [-]th, Grain Rain.

Zhu Yuanzhang was on vacation and had three consecutive days of rest. He called the village in advance and had a seafood feast and drank rice wine today.

The boat came over, entered Xuanwu Lake, and then took the train into the village.

Nowadays, there are many kinds of seafood in the Yangtze River Estuary, including gaba shrimp, hermit crabs, fish, as well as clams, shrimp crawlers, and turtles.

After the new ship is built, while checking the condition of the equipment, it goes out to sea to fish and sell it back to the people of Nanjing.

Some things are expensive, and some are cheap. For example, soft-shelled turtles are very cheap, costing one penny or two pounds. Ships can transport thousands of tons at a time, and even small steam-powered ships can carry more than a hundred tons. There are a lot of these things in a net. It would be a pity to throw them away when you go out. The key is to throw them away. It is laborious, so you can just take them back and subsidize the people.

When people buy two pounds of fish for one penny, they also have to add five cents for seasoning.

However, more people will choose to make the purchased fish into dried fish and steam it when they want to eat it. The taste of sea fish and river fish are different. Sea fish is harder, while river fish is tender.

Of course, there are also expensive fish, such as hairtail, which are fished out by big boats trawling from deep places. They die when they come out of the water.

Rich people eat it, and other Xiaqiu villages use it to make canned food.

"Yichang, why did this hairtail fish die immediately after it came out of the water? Some people said that it had a bad temper and made itself angry to death after being caught. Well! My stomach was so angry."

Zhu Yuanzhang still sat on the top of the arrow tower and watched the people buying and selling in the market. He fell in love with this position.

"Your Majesty, it's actually a problem with the swim bladder. If the hairtail fish is in deep water, if it rises suddenly and the swim bladder expands, it will be bad. But if it rises slowly, it will be fine.

When using a trawl net, you can lift it up little by little, and there will be live hairtails inside that can be raised, but the cost is too high, so it is better to go to the sea to catch them.

Some large shellfish are also fished out with a net behind a bottom-sinking tow hook. The hook lifts the shellfish from the bottom of the sea, and then the net comes over to load it. "

The chief knows this. In fact, live hairtails can occasionally be seen on fishing boats. No one considers raising them on boats. They will die when they are brought back.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction: "I see, let's just think about it! How can a fish be so angry? Isn't there anything in the sea that makes it angry? When it gets angry, it dies and becomes extinct! Hehehehehe..."

People around him followed suit, and remember that hairtails die immediately when they come out of the water, not out of anger.

After laughing a few times, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the many stalls selling seafood in the market: "We have never fought a big boat war, but we have made a lot of money back by fishing."

"Your Majesty, the people's peace of mind has been restored! The people along the coast are no longer worried about Japanese pirates."

Xu Da, who was in charge of compiling military books, said that another benefit was that as soon as such a large steam engine ship passed by the coast, the people living on the seaside felt safe.

Since the Ming Dynasty Navy began to expand, the court allowed fishing boats to go to sea, otherwise they would not be allowed to enter the sea.

One is to prevent Japanese pirates. If fishermen go out casually, they will be robbed by Japanese pirates when they go to the sea. At the same time, Japanese pirates can pretend to be fishermen.

The Japanese pirates were beaten to a pulp, smuggling went bankrupt due to internal reports, and fishing boats were allowed to go to sea.

People in coastal areas go to sea and get a lot of shellfish and other seafood. Due to traffic restrictions, they can't sell much at all.

Rich merchants collect seafood, then load it on horse-drawn carriages and transport it to other places, which is a day's journey or dozens of miles away. If they want to transport it to a farther place, the seafood turns into sea odor.

When they met a big ship, the people on the beach gave the big ship their things. The big ship was fast and pretended to take them to Yingtian Mansion to sell them.

The people made money, the ships also made money, and the people in Nanjing, Yingtian Prefecture, began to eat cheap seafood.

This is the role of logistics. Otherwise, the seafood picked up from the sea must be salted and dried, or cooked and dried, or thrown away. There will be too much to eat.

"Look at the situation, our Ming Dynasty still has little steel and it is not enough. It is best to lay rails everywhere."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of land transportation through Xu Da's words.

　The call came in at [-]:[-] yesterday. Then I lay down and felt sleepy. I slept for a few more hours and got up at [-]:[-] in the morning to type this chapter. The temperature has dropped recently, and the wind has become strong after the temperature difference changed. It was the wind that blew off a power supply here. Then let me tell you something. In cold places, if you encounter small patches of snow or ice on the road, everyone should remember to take your hands out of your pockets, lean forward slightly, and walk with your knees bent. This way, you will not fall easily, even if you don't. Be careful and if you fall, you will fall forward, which is better than falling on the back of your head.
