Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 298 Recovery and Development

When he was in Yingtian or even in Yunnan, Zhu Zhanhe basically did not use the knowledge of later generations.

Even if it is used, it is only using some very simple ones.

For example, alcohol, white phosphorus eggs, or monocular binoculars.

Those are the most basic things, and there is no need to use any complicated gadgets. But in his mind, although a lot of knowledge has been forgotten, some knowledge that is just common sense in later generations has been retained.

Although it was just common sense in later generations, now, coupled with Zhu Zhanhe's current influence and strength, there are still many things that can be done.

……

Xiangzhou Prefecture.

"Your Highness, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told you before has almost been completed."

Xia Jin held a letter in her hand and reported to Zhu Zhanqi word for word.

"Regarding the matter of prospecting, we have recruited more than [-] experienced people, and what is lacking now are miners."

"As for the fishing matter that His Highness the Crown Prince told before leaving, we also found a lot of fishermen, but they all said that they had no experience before and they could only catch small fish. As for fish that are bigger than the boat, they No arrests either."

"Didn't my brother leave a pamphlet before he left?" Zhu Zhanqi raised his head after hearing this and looked at Xia Jin below.

"My brother said that he has already written it in great detail, and they just have to follow it."

"There is a first time for everything, and you always have to take that step. Whether the result of this first step is good or bad, only by taking it can you gain experience and make adjustments based on experience."

"It goes without saying how important this matter is. In fact, you also know that my brother rarely emphasized one thing before, and it was several times, so no matter what the result is, at least we have to try."

"Yes!" Xia Jin lowered her head and said yes.

In fact, Xia Jin really doesn't understand that the current Xiangzhou capital, including the Sultan of Delhi, let alone potatoes and sweet potatoes, the harvest of corn alone is enough to feed the people in the current area under the jurisdiction of King Wu, and there is still a surplus.

After all, the Indochina Peninsula was burned by fire. No one knows how many people died that year, but it must have been a lot.

At the beginning, Xia Jin was doing census work as the son of Xia Yuanji and an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He felt that the Indochina Peninsula had lost at least one-third of its population.

Needless to say, the Sultan of Delhi, with the support of the Ming army, came from the lower castes to suppress the upper castes, and many people died unexpectedly.

In addition to the decrease in population, the area of ​​arable land has also increased. After all, the original slash (fire) cultivation (fire) and fire (burning) planting (mountain) opened up a large amount of arable land.

Xia Jin couldn't understand why he had to hunt fish larger than ordinary boats on the premise that it could meet his needs.

However, no one had questioned Zhu Zhanhe's order before, and reality has proved that Zhu Zhanhe's decisions were basically correct.

Therefore, although Xia Jin had doubts, she would not refute or make suggestions.

……

Astrakhan.

Seeing Mu Ang's leaving figure, Zhu Zhanhe's thoughts felt a little lethargic.

Thinking of what he was about to do, Zhu Zhanhe really had the urge to rush into Europe and Greenland, capture a few people and send them to Xiangzhou Mansion.

Before the Industrial Revolution, Zhu Zhanhe really didn't know which races and nations in the world had the custom of whaling that had been passed down since ancient times.

He only knew that those in Greenland would hunt Greenland sharks and make them into the famous dark delicacies of later generations.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help but shook his head and turned back to his room.

It's just whaling. In this era of wooden boats, it sounds difficult, but it's actually not that difficult.

To put it bluntly, there is no difference between whaling and fishing. They are just fishing. Taking advantage of the fact that whales are mammals and need to breathe on the sea surface, they constantly add harpoons and ropes to their bodies, slowly wearing out the whales.

As for whaling, if it were possible to extract lubricating oil at a lubricating level, or even just heavy oil, Zhu Zhanhe would not go hunting for whales.

But there is no way. It is very simple to make gasoline. It can be done by distillation under normal pressure. But if you want to make lubricating oil, you have to distill it under low pressure.

With the current level of science and technology, it is still not possible.

Zhu Zhanhe had no choice. If he wanted to develop and climb the technological tree, he actually didn't need all the people to be smart. It was enough to cultivate a considerable group of people.

But the problem is that either all the things in Zhu Zhanhe's mind have been returned to the teacher, or there are many things missing and there is no way to make them.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about chemistry. Before mass production of three acids and two alkali can be achieved, it can be said that most things cannot be made.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

There is no way, there is not much he can do, he can only bring the Han people onto the path of development, and then through time and collective wisdom, ultimately bring the entire nation onto the path of development.

As for the idea of ​​having one family in the world but not one family in the world...

Zhu Zhanhe actually didn't think too much. It was already the Ming Dynasty, and the feudal era would not last long. If his descendants could continue to develop their family and the world, that would be their blessing.

But if it cannot be done, no matter how powerful the dynasty is, it will perish.

Zhu Zhanhe could manage himself, his son, and his grandson. Even better, his son and grandson would get married and have children early, and he could still take care of his great-grandson.

But what about later?

No one can guarantee that his family will always be prosperous. In the era of family rule, the collapse of a dynasty is the easiest thing to do.

One generation of foolish kings can ruin all the efforts of the previous dynasty. The next generation will overdraw the future in advance, and the next generation will basically perish.

You can't be rich for more than three generations. No matter how strong your family background is, they can't withstand such hardships.

If you encounter someone like Zhu Qizhen, not only will all the efforts of the previous dynasty be ruined in one generation, but the future will also be overdrawn.

One generation does what two generations do. From another perspective, this Ming God of War is also awesome.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

I was thinking too far ahead. It would have to be at least ten or twenty years later. There was no need to start preparing now.

Thinking of this, he returned to his room, picked up his pen, and began to think about future development.

The sins you have made must ultimately be solved by yourself.

Just like when he burned down Cochin, he eventually had to send people to clean it up and rebuild it.

Nowadays, Timur's empire has become the land under his family's name. It is not a problem to always be in this barren state with no harvest. It will always be restored.

However, it is not a simple matter to recover from the failure of the harvest, and the failure of the harvest caused by the overdraft ability of potatoes.

The first thing to do is to restore the soil fertility. In this case, let alone potatoes and sweet potatoes, even rice and wheat will not be able to do it.

After much deliberation, Zhu Zhanhe felt that he could only use soybeans and use the nitrogen-fixing ability of leguminous plants to slowly recover.

　Add one more chapter, if there is more... there will be no more.
