Win the Ding 1617

() (It's a bit late, and the promised addition is in the rush. Everyone continues to support. Also, there is a paragraph that borrows from a famous book, please look for it. lest someone say I plagiarized. Hehe!)

"Everyone, even if we need to guarantee the farm tools needed everywhere, the swords and guns of the settlers and Baoding, why haven't the warships needed by our navy been launched? Since the addition of those two new ships, During these many days, has a new ship ever been launched? Also, why did Taipingdong have a thousand catties of nine-turn steel used to cast artillery every day, but no artillery was ever made? There are still many of my lucky boats and sand boats. A lot of gun positions are vacant!"

"Lord Zuo, the old man will tell you the things you said." Wang Quan, who was in charge of shipbuilding, spoke hoarsely. He could see that the two lucky boats that wrecked due to the typhoon not long ago had caused him a lot of trouble.

"Boss Feng is in charge of the manufacture of equipment. Those steels are used for the testing of cannons and muskets according to the instructions of the adults. When one is cast, it will be used to test the values ​​of the adults such as the chamber pressure, range, and accuracy. Every day The gunpowder used to consume here is probably no less than a hundred catties. The reason for this is that you can use it with ease. In addition to those Frang machine, tiger squatting cannon, and Hongyi cannon, according to the design of your lord, there are also We want to start a trial production of rocket launchers, but," Wang Quan bowed his hands to Shouhan, "the subordinates are dull, and they haven't fully understood your master's exquisite design until now, and they have consumed a lot of steel money and food!"

Wang Quan has an unusual relationship with the navy, and he is also an elder. As soon as he opened his mouth, Zuo Tianpeng felt embarrassed, but he kept muttering, "Those disused artillery can also be used Cast farm tools!"

"My lord Zuo, I didn't waste the discarded cannons. Until yesterday, except for the part lost during casting, the one thousand jin of steel produced every day was used for experimental firearms, and all of them were returned to the furnace to make clamped steel agricultural tools. Most of the so-called nine-turn steel agricultural tools sold to outsiders on the market today are made of this object and pig iron. Then, we used these agricultural tools to exchange a large amount of wood with the natives, stacked them in the sawmill, and waited for him to dry , and build a ship for your navy!"

Watching the heated discussion among his subordinates, Shou Han smiled wryly in his heart, "This is probably a question of how to choose the direction of investment for limited industrial resources. Whether it is used for the national economy or for military construction." He sat in the Huanghuali official The master hat meditated for a while on the chair.

"Okay! Stop arguing!"

As soon as Shou Han opened his mouth, the dozen or so people in the spacious meeting hall, who had been noisy just now, suddenly fell silent.

To solve such problems, it seems that there is only one way to expand steel production.

"Master Zhang, how is the situation at Tieshanzhai? Can the ore output be increased?"

Zhang Yutian, an official of hundreds of households at that time, is now the head of the Tieshanzhai mining field, responsible for the mining, beneficiation, transportation and many other affairs of this iron ore.

Thinking silently in his heart, Zhang Yutian shook his head and stood up, "My lord, there are now nearly a thousand officials and slaves in Tieshan Village, more than 340 guards, stewards and other miscellaneous personnel, 65 seven mules, horses and livestock, and vehicles of all sizes. [-] vehicles. Supplying more than [-] catties of iron ore to the smelter every day, the capacity is already stretched, and there is really no way to add more.”

"The subordinate is incompetent! I missed a major event, please punish me!" Zhang Yutian knocked his head on the ground, and there was a muffled sound from the ground.

Looking at Zhang Yutian's gray and sparse hair under the turban, Shouhan's throat felt a little tight, and he hurriedly got up and helped Zhang Yutian who was kneeling on the ground, "Uncle Yutian," he called him affectionately, "Why is this so?"

"Subordinates are incompetent and cannot share the worries of adults."

After imitating the example, with a whoosh, all the dozen or so people present fell to their knees.

Shou Han didn't bother to help one by one, "Get up! Let's not hold anyone accountable today, just discuss how to solve it. Well, it can be regarded as a coordination meeting of all parties!"

As a result, the atmosphere in the meeting hall became heated again.

Let’s start with the demand, “If the needs of the Tunpu villages in both water and land are met, the volume of foreign trade and monthly steel production will at least double.”

"To meet this kind of steel production, iron ore needs to be at least three times more than it is barely enough."

"For me to be able to produce such a large amount of ore, unless I allocate more manpower and animals. Otherwise, even if Lao Zhang is covered with hands, it is not enough to dig out that much ore."

After finding out the problem, people's emotions immediately became even higher.

"Master Zhang, if I increase your manpower, will you be able to meet the needs of the iron factory?" Shou Han was also in a good mood.

"Well, as long as I add 2000 people, [-] cattle, and [-] carts to my old man, I will pat my chest. If there is a catty or two short of these ores, I will fill them into the furnace!"

"Hehe, I'm afraid Brother Zhang Cheng is going to fight me desperately." Shou Han joked to Zhang Cheng, the owner of the house, who was sitting beside him.

Seeing himself, Zhang Cheng, who was in charge of the population, money, food, land, mu, etc., stood up, straightened his straight skirt, and bowed to the guard.

"My Hejing Garrison Mansion, since your lord took over, has captured Miao Yao and other locals, old and weak, young and strong, with less than [-]. Among them, nearly half are young and strong. They are all serving as official slaves and working in various places."

Hearing that there are so many laborers, all the people present are smiling.

"Hey! Then send 2000 people to Lao Zhang!" Feng Mofeng slapped his thigh violently.

"However," Zhang Cheng changed the subject, "My lord, everyone, Rong will tell you the distribution of these manpower one by one."

After speaking, the heads of all the people in the seat drooped again.

Logging yards, shipyards, and ash yards (that is, cement manufacturing yards), these factories account for nearly 1 laborers.Similarly, Yongchang Fort in the north of the river, as the southernmost fortress in Ha Tinh, is also under intensive construction. There are also thousands of people working there day and night.

Similarly, several villages and towns around Ha Tinh, due to the increase in population and economic development, are also building houses and building bastions one after another.

Moreover, the roads between these towns and Hejing are also under intensive construction. According to Shou Han's current thinking, he wished they could only build ashes on the road.After all, today's soil and cement really can't meet the demand, so it is temporarily made into a hardened road surface, and it will be upgraded after the production capacity is reached in the future.

It seems that everything and everywhere cannot be let go, and everything is very important.However, there are only so many resources at home.So what to do?All the people present, including Shou Han, were lost in thought.

"Can we adjust those old and weak officials and slaves, and use them to replace two thousand young and strong people?"

"These tens of thousands of old and weak women and children are all working in places such as land reclamation, fish farming, canal repair, saltworks, road paving, and house building. Even if 2000 young and strong people can be adjusted, it is just a drop in the bucket. Don't forget, then The masonry of the iron furnace and iron smelting also require a lot of labor. There are 2000 people here, and another 2000 people in the iron factory. Where can I find it?"

Only then did people realize that what they were facing was a chain, not just one thing.

"That's it!" In the end, it was Li Shouhan who made the final decision.

"[-]. From the people who opened up wasteland everywhere, select [-] to [-] who are more robust. Well, healthy women are also welcome. Tell them to work in the Iron Mountain Village or in the iron smelting plant. Good job If you have wages, you can become a citizen of my Hejing in the future, and no longer be an official slave. In addition, from the treasury, an additional [-] catties of gunpowder will be allocated to the Tieshanzhai mine every month to explode the mountain and mine."

"Second, Zhang Cheng, issued a document in the name of the General's Mansion to inform all places, including villages far away that have not been attached, and those who are willing to work part-time during the winter slack period can sign up at the security chief's office in each place. The official will pay money and food on a monthly basis."

"Three, let me think about the artillery of the navy and the land battalion, and see what can be replaced. Master Feng, the rocket launcher I told you about last time, stop for now! Test other artillery first."

"Fourth, from today onwards, all affairs in the mansion, involving the employment of people and money, and the start of construction, will all be reported to me, and we will discuss with you before making any calculations!"

"My lord, it's easy to talk about other things, but the matter of hiring money and food..."

"What? Didn't everyone just hand over the autumn grain? Is there no money and grain in the treasury?" Uncle Fu was a little confused, and he looked at Zhang Cheng in front of him with some annoyance, what happened to this bastard today? If Han said one thing, he said one thing.

"My lord, it's not that there is no money and food, but that there are too many places to spend money right now."

Zhang Cheng also took courage today, simply explaining the income and expenditure of the current treasury item by item.

"The current construction matters, the rations, agricultural tools, and cattle for the farmers, the rations for the official slaves, and, if you want to build a government-run farm, according to your method, you need to buy millet, corn, soybeans, etc. Miscellaneous grains. Also, you need to buy a large amount of wheat. These can only be purchased with a large amount of money and food. Also, you need to replace the soft sails for the ships, and you need to buy a large amount of cotton and cloth for this expenditure. Yes, the construction and labor of the farm... woo woo woo!"

Several people hurriedly blocked Zhang Cheng's mouth, because Shou Han's face had become extremely ugly.

The consequences of this meeting were far-reaching, beyond the imagination of the participants.It led to the birth of several systems on Li Shouhan's site: budget and final account system, project demonstration and approval system.

However, the guard at the moment didn't care about these things. He locked himself in the study like a wild beast, roared and shouted, and scared the whole mansion to be as quiet as an ancient temple on a barren mountain, lest a little sound would offend him. .

Roared, scolded, smashed.The helpless Shou Han still had to sit in front of his desk, trying to think about how to deal with the embarrassing situation in front of him where he couldn't give up and had nowhere to go.

The matter of money and food, and the matter of population and labor force seem to be easier to handle. As long as some construction projects are stopped first and some labor force for reclamation is recovered, it can be alleviated.

However, what can I use to conjure up those cannons that I want everywhere?What would I do without steel?Originally, he planned to make a rocket launcher, but after many tests, the rocket launcher just couldn't launch normally!

Bazooka, bazooka, rocket, rocket?Um? !Rocket! !

Shou Han jumped up, how could I forget this thing? !Damn it!

Ten days later, good news came from Taipingdong Cave. After more than a hundred launch tests, the rockets made by Your Excellency, the two types of rockets with kerosene and gunpowder inside, fully met the standards mentioned by Your Excellency.

Fifteen days later, the Xuanwu Battalion's gun boats, Qilin Battalion, and Phoenix Battalion's various units attacked from multiple directions, attacking the big and small tyrants, bandits and pirates entrenched nearby.In the face of intensive artillery fire, there is almost no one general.A large number of captured people, money and food were sent to places of urgent need everywhere like running water, alleviating the urgent needs of the guards.

However, in Shou Han's view, these are not the fundamental solutions to the problem.

"The seventh day of November in the 48th year of Wanli." Shou Han tapped fiercely on the almanac.It was another day, and the sun seemed to be in the west, and the paper in front of him was already smeared in a mess, but there was no clue at all.

Why do other people travel like God, "If there are people, there will be millions of people. If there is money, there will be gold and silver. If there are various machines and technologies, Immediately, there were scientific and technological achievements that surpassed the times for hundreds of years. But, why am I so hard-pressed, and I can’t make a hydraulic spinning machine or a Jenny machine?!"

Unable to slander, Shou Han put the pen in his hand on the pen holder, stretched himself, and tried to relax himself.At this moment, there was a faint sound of commotion from outside the mansion.

The sound was getting closer and louder.

"Dangdang!"

The door of the study room was rudely knocked open, and Zheng Anhua, the guard battalion officer who was on duty in the mansion today, rushed in staggeringly.

"grown ups!"

"What?!" Shou Han was frightened at first, and then a little annoyed. Even if it was something big, why should he be so frightened?

"Boat! Ship! Our ship! On the pier!"

Zheng Anhua was probably in a hurry to run and was out of breath.He kept pointing to the road outside the mansion leading to Hongji Port.

On the pier, two lucky boats that had been missing for several months were docked there in a grand manner, and the sailors on the ship were bragging about their experience with people they knew on the pier.

"I was steering the stern when the wind picked up, and the sentry officer came over and said, 'Old Huang, what the hell are those clouds rising up over there?' I was looking at those clouds myself.' I see They're rising too fast for no apparent reason, and I don't think that's a good omen, or it wouldn't be so dark." "I think so, too," said the captain. How much. Hey! Let loose the sails, all! Pull down the jib!' What a chance, the wind caught up with us as soon as the order was given, and the ship began to heel. 'Drop the horse!' said the sentinel, 'our sail It’s still too much pulling, let’s lower the big sail!’ After 5 minutes, the big sail came down, and we had to sail with the tailsail and topsail. Fortunately, we had changed the soft sail at that time. Ri's hard sails, I am afraid that we will be blown to the Antarctic Immortal Mansion by the wind, it is impossible to say!"

"Then where have you been blown to?" The wife and children who came over after hearing the news had red eyes, curious and surprised at the same time.

"The wind was blowing here and there. At first I couldn't tell the direction. I just felt that it was a westerly wind blowing us eastward. Damn it, when we feel the wind has calmed down and the boat can be controlled, we have already arrived in Ryukyu !"
