First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 801: Beiping, No. 1 in the world

Hu Yan and Zhang Shuning and others responded to the sky before and after. Compared with others, Hu Yan concentrated on academics. He carefully studied Zhu Di's political achievements in Peiping and came to a conclusion that Zhu Di's governance was the best in the world.

Even if Zhang Ximeng's contribution to the layout is removed, Chu Qi's management work, and all aspects are excluded, Zhu Di's achievements are absolutely number one.

This first place far exceeded other vassal kings, and also exceeded the provinces of the Central Plains.

However, Zhu Di's contribution cannot be described as simple national security and folk music and prosperity of all industries.

It must be measured by a new standard. Hu Yan has been busy for so long just to find this suitable standard. Today, Hu Yan feels that he can answer.

He has just entered Beijing, a young man full of talent and learning, but he can't hide his literary talent in his bones. It's no wonder that Princess Ning Guo took a look at Hu Yan at a glance.

This kind of bearing is also much stronger than those playboys.

After Hu Yan entered Beijing, he was also arranged at Zhang Ximeng's mansion, and Zhang Ximeng also met Hu Yan in advance and chatted with him a lot. Hu Yan also confessed, without any reservations, and asked Zhang Ximeng for guidance.

"You have already thought about it very well. You have understood and integrated the several suggestions I gave you. It's really good. Rest well, turn around and ask your Majesty at the Royal Library. Just be careful."

Hu Yan nodded again and again. In fact, when he was in Peiping, he had met Zhu Yuanzhang several times. He just thought that Lao Zhu was a very kind and peaceful person, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

Hu Yan said goodbye and went back to lie down. When he got up on the seventh day, the sun had already risen, and even Zhu Yuanzhang had finished washing up. Hu Yan hurriedly washed and had some breakfast, and followed Zhang Shuning to the Royal Library.

Zhu Yuanzhang followed in front of him, and in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's back was actually Zhu Di.

"Why is he following you? He's afraid of losing money!"

Zhu Di laughed, "It's because you drank less that day that you fell for him! I really thought I was less powerful! Just like him, you can beat him ten times!"

As he said that, Zhu Di also showed a small fist.

Wang Taolan looked at her big fat hands, the fight was definitely over. It has nothing to do with it. If Zhu Di wants to bully you, he also needs to weigh his own weight.

"You can remind him that he is far away, and you are right in front of you! If we really fight, it's easy to say who wins and who loses!"

Zhu Di laughed suddenly, "You said Zhu Yuanzhang, what is he doing with you all the time? Why do we fight, can we just be friends! You can tell him! The owner of this steamed bun shop, you sent the consistent money, And apologise to me. You really are a fool."

Whether Zhu Di is honest or not, Zhu Yuanzhang played a trick that day, and tossed Zhu Di so hard that the boss could see what was going on. But in the face of a big drunk, what can we do, let us go.

When Zhu Di woke up, he sent the money and apologized to the boss, which was considered to be the end of the matter. As a vassal king, it was a mistake to be able to do that.

Zhu Yuanzhang blinked, that's really a question, why did I take over the golden seal of Lao Zhu, and the first thing I thought of was Zhu Di, trying to deal with me?

There is no reason at all, just instinct.

That must be Zhu Yuanzhang's mischief, it can only show that his Zhu Di has indeed threatened Xiao Ming's danger, so he just waits for the obedient to be separated!

"He's right, he's going to have to look ahead. In a word, if you're not in the capital, he won't want to call the wind and call the rain and do whatever he wants!"

Zhu Di was stunned for a while, and touched his nose, what's the matter with you? He and Zhang Shuning had a good time, but Zhu Yuanzhang was so estranged from me!

Did you lead me to play in the first place?

But the problem is that the old man was fat into a ball at the time, and he was clamoring to marry a princess, which scared your father. How could you play with him?

Zhu Di is also boring, I don't care about Zhu Yuanzhang's offense at all.

Instead, he was determined to win over the eldest son.

From Zhu Di's point of view, that eldest son and Zhang Shuning are completely two extremes. But the dragon and the phoenix are a perfect match. If you can get the help of that eldest son, your future career will be prosperous.

But Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, which made people feel helpless!

Of course, it depends on how Zhu Di thinks about it and what Zhu Yuanzhang thinks. Today's events are the protagonists of us. There is only one real protagonist, and this is Hu Yan!

On the royal side, it was Guang Zhang Ximeng who came, Ma Huangqian also came, and at the same time Zhu Biao also arrived.

What was even more surprising was that a group of golden branches and jade leaves led by Princess Ningguo also came. Although you are far away, you can still see vaguely.

When Hu Yan, dressed in a commoner, walked over unrestrainedly and unrestrainedly, Princess Ning Guo's heart was directly hit.

Behold!

That is the concubine you looked at, are they convinced?

The rest of the princesses also know your thoughts, and think that Hu Yan has nothing to do, is he a great scholar, and is it worth his nympho?

For the contempt of those vulgar people, Princess Ning Guo just hummed and cared.

Your heart is hanging under Hu Yan, it depends on how I behave!

Hu Yan is not expected, and indeed has no small family demeanor.

I first saluted Lao Zhu, Ma Huangqian, Wang Tao, Zhang Chengtian and others, then went to my place and sat up straight.

Zhu Biao was the first to speak, and I asked: "Recently, you have estimated the industry in Peiping and found that the value is very low... far exceeding that of other provinces, even the prosperous Huaidong and Zhejiang. Nothing to see?"

Hu Yan bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, the mystery here, two words, can all encompass...efficiency!"

"how to say?"

Hu Yan continued: "Those two words are not your original creation, they were summed up before asking Taishi for advice. When you investigate in Beiping, the more and more you feel that those two words are very important... You know, Xiaoming, from the palace. How much grain can a farmer grow in a year?"

Wang Tao was startled, and then said: "The situation is the same everywhere. As far as you know, after Xiao Ming established his country, and even ten years after Hongwu, he was a farmer in many places, and he could produce one or two thousand catties of grain a year. Only recently, Because of the birth of a small number of children, if the food is calculated for the population and distributed to a farmer, I am afraid that it is still four hundred catties."

Hu Yan smiled and said, "Do you know from this hall, how much grain can a worker in Tuntian Company produce?"

Zhu Biao frowned, "It's a lot, but it's 8 million stone grains!"

Hu Yan nodded, "Indeed, according to your calculations, it's under seven thousand pounds!"

"It's possible!"

It was someone else who first asked the question, it was Zhang Ximeng!

Seven thousand catties, a rough estimate, there are no seventy small stones, placed in the Central Plains, it is less than seventy acres of land. In the case of Beiping and Liaodong, the grain production is estimated to be 100 mu, or even less.

Zhang Ximeng is a good person, there is no old saying in the countryside, there is a cow on 80 acres of land, and his wife and children are on the kang head. A farmer, even if he has no cattle, is only 80 to 70 acres.

What's going on in Peiping?

Hu Yan was in a hurry and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if you are a farmer, if you want to cultivate a hundred mu, it is really easy. Because the farmland is suitable for sowing on an unlimited number of days, if you miss the farming time, you can sow. So farmers once In the coming year, when the farming is busy, you have to stay outside the fields, but when the farming is slack, you can do other things."

Zhang Ximeng nodded slightly, "He said, why is Peiping the same as elsewhere?"

"If you go back to Your Majesty, it's because of the weather!"

"climate?"

"Yes!" Hu Yan said with a smile: "From Peiping to Liaodong, although the crops are all in one season, due to the same temperature, there is no difference in the time of sowing. In the south, the planting is earlier, and the temperature in the north is high, so the planting is late. When harvesting, Because the northern side gets hot first, the northern side will harvest earlier."

Hu Yan was in a hurry and said, "Without the time difference, a few small farm companies can deploy manpower and animal power. When farming, we will go from south to north, and when harvesting, we will go from north to south. In this way, our One person, it's less than two people!"

Lao Zhu was startled and figured it out in an instant.

right!

That's the beauty of small farming!

A small piece of arable land belongs to one, or several companies, and can be dispatched calmly, with a single order, hundreds of acres of farmland, all subject to a single voice arrangement.

If it is placed in the inland, there will be large farmers everywhere, this is absolutely possible.

"Your Majesty, there is no point. Due to the small scale of the Tuntian Company, we can choose the most suitable place to set up a warehouse. Moreover, the scale of the granary is extremely small. Before harvesting the grain, immediately send it to the granary, and before drying, directly return to the warehouse!" Hu Yan explained: "In western Liaoning, there is no such kind of land dragon that occupies a very wide area... The firewood is burned on it, and then the harvested grain is placed under it, so that no one is responsible for stirring to ensure that the grain is moist enough to enter. Ku, in the Central Plains, is also imaginable."

Listening to Hu Yan's introduction, Wang Taolan is all interested. It is a rare thing to regress and dry grain. There was no special drying tower in the previous life. Before the library, is will mold.

The first people, naturally have that condition or not, can only rely on drying.

On the other hand, the Tuntian Company can build small-scale earth dragons to dry grain.

In a place with vast land and sparse population, and there is not enough fuel, wood, coal, all of which are in short supply, then there is nothing wrong with playing.

Zhang Chengtian realized that it might be an opportunity to use coal on a small scale... Once the demand for coal goes down, the steam pump will come.

From a steam pump, it is possible to degenerate to a steam engine.

At this moment, Zhang Chengtian's heart was very surging.

Hu Yan continued: "The abundant food supply ensures the operation of the Peiping factory. Cloth, wood, furniture, farm implements... so much that the output of minerals, steel and steel has all increased. To be honest, you are still living in the coal mine. In the past few days, with the help of Zhang Xuedi, you have researched a new type of shovel, which can increase the speed by eight times with your working methods!"

Referring to that incident, Zhu Di immediately said: "Indeed, it is eight times more! It is seven times! Seven times! That thing also makes you understand that reading is really useless!"

What Zhu Di said is also the role of scientific management, and it is just a big test.

Hu Yan nodded with a smile, and then said, "According to your calculations, farmers in Peiping generally produce eight times less grain than Central Plains, seven times as much wool, four times as much steel, and no less than ten times as much coal!"

Wrong~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The new method can improve seven times, don't forget that there are no working hours! Even if Zhu Di would be merciful, so would the people above.

On the whole, the efficiency of Peiping is far behind the Central Plains, and that is the charm of Xiaoli's development of industry and commerce... It can indeed produce several times, dozens of times the amount of goods!

Whether it was Hu Yan or not, I was just bragging, but I said honestly at the beginning: "Beijing can't achieve its current achievements, mainly relying on the imperial court to pacify Beiyuan, and it can almost cost money to obtain enough land, and introduce too little labor force. , you have to work less than four hours a day. So your conclusion is that the production efficiency of wealth in Peiping is far ahead of the sky. As for the fair distribution, there are too many in the sky! I hope your Majesty will see it!"
