The unlocking of cash crop cultivation gave Lu Ming the ability to grow non-food crops such as sugar cane and cotton. The acceleration of the technology tree did not seem to care about the soil condition.

As long as it is accelerated, any crop can grow rapidly, which is completely unreasonable and breaks through the limitations of all objective conditions in the land environment.

Lu Ming had prepared two things before.

He thought that if he couldn’t find sugar cane in the mountains to unlock the follow-up technology, he would have to use muskets to rob the Beishuo people. The sugar cane raw materials for making white sugar could only be transported by Zhang Heng.

Unexpectedly, he actually found sugar cane in the mountains, unlocked follow-up technology, solved the food problem in one fell swoop, and also gained the ability to grow cash crops.

in this way.

But there is no need for Zhang Heng to transport sugar cane.

Lu Ming could grow sugar cane in the mountains and use it to make sugar. He divided the sugar cane he left earlier into several pieces and inserted them into the ground.。

【Agriculture, Cultivation of Cash Crops, Accelerated Manufacturing]

Just like the previous corn.

The sugarcane sprouted quickly and grew into sugarcane seedlings, and then grew tall and tall in the blink of an eye. Lu Ming counted and found that on average one sugarcane seedling could grow five sugarcanes.

The harvest is pretty good。

Planting is repeated in this way.

soon.

Lu Ming harvested a large amount of sugar cane. Since Xin’an Town did not have the conditions to store a large amount of white sugar, he did not immediately turn all the sugar cane into white sugar.

It would not be too late to make it when Zhang Heng came to buy sugar. Anyway, the making process didn’t take long, but it was a pity that Lu Ming didn’t have cotton seeds.

The mountains are quite shady and cool. Cotton can not only keep warm, but can also be soaked in gunpowder to make fuses, which can be used to detonate gunpowder packets, which is of great use.

In fact, cotton is not required for making leads, but cotton is relatively flammable. Hemp rope or other fibers can also be used.

But they are not as convenient as cotton.

Cotton can be used after it is grown and dried, but the preparation of other fibers is a bit troublesome. Lu Ming has not yet unlocked the relevant technology, so he really can’t handle it.

after.

Lu Ming gathered a flintlock gun and all the remaining black powder in front of him, and also made several cans of sugar to mix the black powder with to increase its power.

In this way, this batch of gunpowder can be used longer. Since sugar is easily affected by moisture, it can only be mixed with gunpowder during filling.

Therefore, it is not mixed with black powder in advance, but stored separately.。

After a few breaths.

The flintlock gun in front of him was rifled, which greatly increased the shooting distance of the bullet, and all the black powder was turned into loose particles of similar sizes.

The reason why all existing flintlock muskets are not rifled is because the rifling will hinder loading and reduce the rate of fire of the troops. Currently, the number of guns in the Armed Guards is very small.

It’s really not advisable to sacrifice the rate of fire。

After these two technologies are triggered and completed, the subsequent technology will be unlocked. The follow-up technology of black powder is paper-cased fixed-load ammunition, which uses oil paper to pack a fixed amount of gunpowder and projectiles. of bullets.

The follow-up technology of the flintlock gun opened another branch, unlocking the artillery technology.。

【Black powder·Paper case fixed ammunition·Unlocked】

【Cannon·Artillery·Unlocked]

Oil paper and iron are both resources currently lacking in Xinan Town, especially iron. Lu Ming has almost used iron to make guns and bullets.

Where else can a cannon be made?

As for the paper-cased custom-loaded ammunition.

There is some oil paper in Xin’an Town. If you use all of it, you can make dozens of paper-cased fixed-loading bombs, but only a few dozen, which is meaningle

Lu Ming looked at it.

The follow-up technology to the paper-cased fixed-loading ammunition is the metal-cased bullet. This thing basically belongs to the era of breech-loading guns, and it has no primer, so it is useless to make it.

The flintlock gun has no firing pin and relies only on flint to ignite and fire. It does not use metal-cased bullets, and the follow-up technology of metal bullets is not available now.

Everything depends on developing basic technology and resources.。

“One bite won’t make you fat. ”

Lu Ming said this.

He took a piece of oil paper and put it on regardless of whether it was used or not. Unlock it first and then talk about the follow-up.。

【Black powder·Paper case fixed ammunition·Accelerated manufacturing】

Soon.

The gunpowder, oil paper and projectiles in front of Lu Ming were controlled by invisible forces and formed into more than a dozen paper-cased fixed bombs, which fell scatteredly on the table.。

He Songsheng reminded: “Sir, even if it can be mixed with sugar to reduce the amount of gunpowder used each time, we cannot withstand several rounds of training.。”

“I know.

Lu Ming said: “Wait a little longer. ” ”

If Zhang Heng doesn’t come, he will really have to take people out of the mountain to fight the Beishuo people. With the current number of people in the armed guards, this is obviously not that safe. The current effective range of the flintlock gun is about 30

feet , that is, about 100 meters. The ultimate range can reach 150 meters away, but basically it can’t hit anyone. Based on

this.

The most effective tactic is to line up and shoot, and use intensive shooting to effectively kill the enemy. The front row After fighting the back row, then exchange reloads.

30 feet is also within the effective shooting range of the bows and arrows in the hands of the Beishuo people. Moreover, basically everyone in the Beishuo people rides horses and is extremely fast. They can rush up within a few dozen feet in the blink of an eye. .

It is really dangerous.

At present, Xinan Town has sufficient food, but Lu Ming is not in a hurry. Even if he waits for Zhang Heng for two or three months, he is still patient and depends on whether this person comes.。

“Where are the wooden boards and bamboo pieces I want?”

“Here it is delivered. ”

He Songsheng ordered people to bring up the wooden boards and bamboo pieces that Lu Ming asked for. These were all cut by the townspeople according to Lu Ming’s instructions.

Lu Ming immediately triggered the technology tree.。

【Education·Literacy·Accelerated Manufacturing】

Suddenly.

Words appeared on these wooden boards and bamboo pieces immediately. Without paper, Lu Ming could only use wooden boards and bamboo pieces instead. In addition, the townspeople now eat and drink well.

We can’t leave them idle。

Every time they saw Lu Ming’s magical method, others were in awe of Lu Ming. The guards on the side lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Lu Ming.

Afraid of offending adults.

He Songsheng’s eyes were sharp, like swords and eagles, and he was always looking around. Anyone who came close to Lu Ming would be stared at tightly by him without letting up.

Lu Ming ordered: “From today on, everyone who can walk easily in the town must be able to read and write, especially those under the age of thirty must not be absent. Teachers are ordered to teach them, and those who perform well will be rewarded with a dou of rice. There will be more opportunities to hold official positions in the future.”

After the corn harvest is completed, the distribution will be uniformly distributed by the armed guards, otherwise the townspeople will definitely fight against each other and cause trouble.

The remaining grain will be collected into the Xin’an Town Granary and will be distributed regularly thereafter.

A dou weighs 12.5 kilograms, and a person can only eat about half a kilogram of rice in a day. Such a generous reward is coupled with the opportunity to hold an official position.

It must be enough to mobilize the enthusiasm of the townspeople.
