() sent Zheng Zhibao's fleet away, and Shouhan was immediately buried by various documents:

"The corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes planted in various mountainous areas and dry fields have been harvested. Apart from being used as food supplements, what should I do with the rest?"

"For Hanoi, Guangning, Chao Phraya River, Chaigun, Nanzhang and other new districts, please send agricultural educators. It is recommended to send at least [-] people who are familiar with the methods of farming, mulberry, farming and fish to popularize and educate, so that the Lord's Grace spreads everywhere."

"Regarding the question of the whereabouts of graduates from primary schools in various places, it has been nearly ten years since the self-published school education without discrimination, and the number of beneficiaries has reached tens of thousands. In the south and central areas of my country, there are everywhere people who can read more than [-] characters. Yes. My lord asked for the selection of those who should be selected for education in the primary school. They have been studying for six years, and the number reached more than [-]. My lord, please make a decision early. What should I do with this group of people?"

"Please build a large lucky boat..."

Dozens of official documents, large and small, related to agriculture, technology promotion, education and student employment, and insufficient shipbuilding and freight capacity.

The summary of the official document, which was refined and organized by the staff of the General's Mansion according to the content of the official document, was placed on Shou Han's desk like a hill, overwhelming him.

"Go and invite Master Li!"

Shou Han leaned back on the chair very agitatedly, and began to think about countermeasures. This can no longer go on like this, and I have to make up my mind and make decisions on everything, so even Zhuge Liang would be exhausted to death.Besides, he wants to devote himself to being a model of a pure minister in the world, but I can't do it. I still have several wives who ask for love and care, and they want to sow the seeds of rain and dew!You can't spend all your time and energy on these official documents!

"Brother Zong, please come here just for these things!"

Seeing Li Peilin coming in, Shouhan didn't even bother to get up, because they were too familiar with each other, and there was no need to do that set of false etiquette. Peilin found a usual seat and sat down, waiting Follow Han's orders.

"Currently, each organization has its own scope of responsibilities, and its powers are also very clear. However, some matters are beyond the scope of their respective powers, and it is difficult to specialize in matters that need to be coordinated by several organizations. They can only express their own opinions. , and then report to the lord, and ask the lord to judge."

"It's easy to delay things like this! For example, in this matter, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, soybeans, peanuts and other crops in various places have been harvested, but they still come to ask me how to deal with it, should I buy it, or should I buy it? Come up with new methods and new means to make something else? It should be noted that those are fresh crops, and after a long delay, they will rot and easily hurt farmers!"

"Yes! My lord taught me that. When I get back, I will reprimand them in the name of my lord."

"You can't blame them all for this matter. They also acted according to the rules. Brother Zong, I invite you here mainly to discuss a way to see how we can avoid similar things from happening again in the future."

Now the territory of the South China Army is too big, almost equivalent to Huguang and Sichuan in the mainland. Fortunately, administrative offices and institutions at all levels in prefectures and counties have been established in various places. Some important military hubs are called battalions. Otherwise, Every matter, big or small, should be sent to Shou Han to ask how to deal with it. It is really easy to delay major matters.

"I plan to upgrade the previous method of business lunch, and set up a business room. The personnel in the business room will be selected by you, brother Zong, and reported to me for approval. After that, the business room can be operated. It can handle similar matters. Put forward your own opinions and suggestions, and after approval by me or someone I authorize, you can order to implement it."

"My lord, this official office seems to have the same effect as the cabinet of my Ming court?" Li Peilin, who is familiar with the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty, was keenly aware of the crux of the problem.

"There is still a big difference! The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty is an economic institution of the imperial court, with high positions and powers. The chief assistant of the cabinet is my minister of the Ming Dynasty. And this office is just an institution like my shogunate, a think tank. ! Judging from my Ming’s system, no matter how strict the standard is, this office is purely a privately hired guest teacher.”

What Shou Han wants is a military aircraft department, a study room, etc., which have no establishment and no rank, and belong to a private advisory body. He doesn't want to be held hostage by monsters like the cabinet in the future.

Soon, under the organization of Pei Lin, the historically famous black yamen office, known as the highest power decision-making body, began intensive preparations.

It is said that the office is a black yamen because the first is that the office has no establishment, the second has no rank, the third has no personnel quota, and the fourth has no budget.

Although it is said that the problems in the future have been solved, Shou Han has to find a way to find a solution for the few things in front of him.

The first headache is the direction of processing and utilization of crops such as corn.Soybeans and peanuts are easy to handle, and can be used to extract oil and make various foods. However, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes are all recently introduced from the Americas. Even the earliest Spaniards came into contact with them only a hundred years ago. It's just time.

After thinking about it, it seems that apart from carbonizing the corn stalks and using it to replace willow charcoal for making gunpowder to reduce the cost of gunpowder manufacturing, it seems that there is no other fresh way to think of it, although these crops can be finely processed Yes, but besides making vermicelli and brewing wine, Shou Han really can't think of any other uses for it?

Um?Vermicelli?The main ingredient of vermicelli is starch, what can starch do?

He grabbed a pen and scribbled on the application for how to dispose of corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other crops.

Soon, whole truckloads of corn stalks were sent for carbonization, and the charcoal powder obtained was sent to gunpowder workshops, where they were obtained from nitrification fields and sulfur shipped from Japan to produce gunpowder with excellent performance and low price.

And those sweet potatoes and potatoes are used to make vermicelli and other foods, but the Maple Ridge Laboratory in Ha Tinh has received an order to study how to combine sweet potatoes, potatoes and sugar in corn. The extracted corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes followed the order, which caused the people in the laboratory to have a headache for a while on how to store these crops.

Come and go without indecent!

One thing sent by the gentlemen in the laboratory made Shouhan even more headache!

"This is based on my lord's instructions. I have modified the Xiu'er machine with nine-turn steel, and all important parts are made of nine-turn steel."

Lifting off the red silk used to cover the machine samples, Shou Han's eyes lit up, and cheers erupted in the yard.

The Xiuer machine, which was originally made of wooden materials, seems to have been re-coated with tin, shining in the August sun.

The locomotive and wooden combs were all replaced with nine-turn steel. The original eight spindles were refitted and increased to twenty spindles. The spindles of the machine were also stretched and a sliding frame was added.And, press the rotatable spindle on the carriage.When spinning, you only need to move the sliding frame back and forth. "Adding this sliding frame can push 300-400 spindles at the same time, and the yarn spun is exactly the same as that of the Xiuer machine."

The technician from the Maple Ridge Laboratory who sent the machine proudly introduced his machine.

"Have you ever done an experiment?" Shou Han is not willing to believe other people's introductions. After all, the introductions in this era are too literary, and they are so corrupt.He is still willing to believe the data he sees.

"Willing to demonstrate for the Lord!"

The technician took a ball of cotton and weighed it with a scale in public, "My lord, this ball of cotton is exactly equal to a Spanish pound. If I use my Nanzhong to measure it, it is about one tael less than a catty! Please let me know." For a moment, do you want to make up for two catties?"

"No need! Start spinning!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, several workers began to operate the machine in front of them with shaking hands.In an instant, the pure white cotton is spun into a fine cotton yarn, "Because the shape of the yarn is irregular, and the surface of the yarn has hairiness (short hairs protruding from the fibers), and it is also limited by the precision of the caliper. Therefore, the subordinates could not find a way to express the fineness of the yarn, and could only prove it in other ways.”

Soon, a pound of cotton was spun into a ball of thin cotton threads.

"Come on, send a team of soldiers over here!"

Shou Han decided to measure the precision and technical level of this machine in public, so that these people can know what technology is the primary productive force!

"Divide into two rows facing each other. Let's count five hundred steps apart!"

Five hundred steps? !All the civil and military personnel present were stunned. Ordinary Franglers and eight-pound guns may not have a range of [-] paces!Our lord, but has been angry recently?Some people wondered if it was because the two aunts and wives were pregnant and the protagonist had nowhere to vent his energy?That's not right either!There are at least three wives in the master's back house!Forget it, things about the imperial palace have always been a big taboo, so let's focus on what's in front of us first!

The white and delicate cotton thread was passed quickly in the hands of the soldiers, and passed back and forth alternately in the hands of the two rows of troops lined up side by side. Soon, a ball of cotton thread came to an end.

"My lord, a total of thirty brothers have cotton thread in their hands."

The team officer of the pro-barracks reported the measurement results loudly.

A piece of cotton thread five hundred steps long in the hands of thirty people?If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, everyone would think it was a fantasy, but such a miracle happened in front of their eyes!

"Congratulations, my lord! Another sharp weapon!"

After a while, the people of the Han Yuan Company were the first to realize that such a machine is not a gold-absorbing tool, what is it?I'm afraid that in the future, I can find any worker casually, as long as he is not too stupid or too stupid, he can spin such fine cotton yarn!Only with thin thread can we weave fine cotton cloth!Compared with such thread, what is called muslin today is a piece of sack!

"Have you calculated the output?"

Looking at the cotton yarn that was spun, Shou Han felt that the lesson given to this group of subordinates was enough, and it was time to get to the point!

Yield!How much can production increase? !

"Well, because the people we are looking for are all beginners, it is not easy to compare with experienced ones, but if you rush to work day and night, if you change people without changing the machine, this improved version of the machine is at most forty times that of the original Xiu'er machine ! If it is a skilled player, I am afraid there will be more."

"However, this machine also has troubles. Because the main working parts are made of metal, especially nine-turn steel. Although the precision is far from what wooden machines can match, the standard requirements for maintenance are also raised. It is a lot. We suggest that these should be indicated in the maintenance manual: every five to seven days, maintenance should be carried out. The best oil for maintenance is tung oil from Guangxi. The second is animal oil such as fish oil. Otherwise, it will affect the life of the machine and the working performance. Accuracy."

However, a group of civil and military personnel can no longer care about these things, and they have been crazily caught up in imagining the bright future: one such machine is worth the previous forty machines, isn't that the cotton cloth of our South China Army? Yield and quality should be greatly improved?The output has increased by at least forty times, and the quality, hehe!I'm afraid that Songjiang fine cloth will be willing to bow down!The output of cotton cloth has increased, and the export of dyed cloth will naturally increase!

In this way, will the dividends of everyone's shares in the Hanyuan firm be even more?Will it be several times more than before? !

"Stop arguing! It's not proper for everyone to be so noisy when they encounter some things as senior officials!"

Seeing Li Shouhan with a troubled expression, Li Peilin scolded him in a timely manner, and suddenly, the courtyard, which was as lively as a vegetable market, fell silent.

"We can't manufacture more machines like this right now, at most we can produce [-] of them. The things we produce are also for our own use first, and if there is a surplus, we will sell them abroad."

"Have you ever thought that one machine can be worth forty of the previous ones. In other words, the kapok needed is forty times more, and Nanzhong cannot produce cotton, so it can only be imported from outside! But, Ye Qi , Jiangchun, and Zheng Zhilong, no matter how hard they purchase for us, can they meet such a huge demand? It takes at most three to five days to build a machine like this, but it takes at least half a year to grow cotton. The time cost of processing and transportation is also included, so if you think about it, how can such a huge demand for raw materials meet our cotton demand?"

Everyone immediately seemed to part the eight sun bones and dumped a bucket of ice and snow.The warm and noisy atmosphere just now disappeared without a trace.

"Okay, I'm here today, whoever can solve the cotton problem can come to see me at any time, even if I'm making out with my wife on the bed!"

Shou Han's words caused a burst of laughter from the people present.

"You stay here."

The technician who delivered the new textile machine was left by Shou Han for questioning.

"Is there a name for this machine?"

"Reporting to the lord. Several gentlemen argued for a while, and everyone disagreed, and the quarrel was fierce. In the end, I asked the students to ask the lord for instructions. What should they be called?"

"What's the opinion?"

"Some gentlemen said that it should be called by its original name. The Xiuer machine is very good. Some gentlemen said that this machine is no longer the same machine, no matter from the manufacturing process to the function of the machine. So the name Xiuerji is inappropriate."

"What would you call this machine?"

"On the way the students came, they saw someone driving a Guoxia horse-drawn cart on the road. Although the Guoxia horse was smaller, it was very practical. The vehicle that weighed more than a thousand catties still walked quickly on the road. The student's Meaning, if the lord asks for the humble opinion of the students, the students will intentionally name him Guo Xia Ma. Whichever it means is hard-working and has a huge output!"

Ha ha!In the history of industry, the famous mule locomotive has become a fruit dismount!But that's fine too!Shou Han laughed wildly triumphantly in his heart.

"Go back and tell the gentlemen that after brewing potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., they can be distilled again, and the resulting products can be sent to the health camp to be tried by traumatized patients!"

"This is a thin cotton thread, but it can hang the whole world!" Shou Han sat in the study by himself, stroking the ball of cotton thread very proudly, with an intoxicated expression on his face, as if It was touching the tender skin of a beautiful woman.

"Come here! Go see the Fourth Wife!"

After fiddling with cotton thread for a while, Shou Han couldn't help the impulse. He just wanted to find a muddy flower path in his mind, and he wanted to hit it. He yelled at the guard on duty outside the door, and the group went to the fourth wife Li Muhua went to his room.
