Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Erlang finally left with 200,000 yuan. He was persuaded by his sister that life is harder now to lay the foundation and life will get better and better in the future.

Zhao Erlang happily returned to the county government office with the pie that his sister had drawn for him, and said to Zhao Zheng, who was silent all the way: "When the dock is built, I will go to Qingzhou to train in the army. My sister said that I will train in the navy by then. You know The navy? It’s a large army that fights in the sea, specifically fighting pirates.”

Zhao Zheng nodded: "I heard that there are fairy mountains overseas, and there are silver mines and gold mines in the mountains. I don't know whether it is true or not."

He said: "If it is true, it can indeed solve the court's urgent needs."

Zhao Erlang: "Then there must be seeds for sowing. My sister said that gold, silver and copper coins alone are not enough. There must be some kind of productivity and food must be grown. Otherwise, no matter how much money the treasury has, there will be no food in the world. Where will it be?" Are you going to buy it?"

Zhao Zheng: "That's why I want to encourage farmers to teach mulberry cultivation!"

He cheered up and said in a deep voice: "We will get ready when we get back. Let everyone prepare now to cultivate more and harvest more next spring."

Zhao Erlang nodded fiercely.

Zhao Hanzhang entered the study, nodded to Shen Ruhui and Cao Ping who were waiting in the study, and asked Zhao Yunxin to take out the drawings, "This is the coast situation of Qingzhou and Guangzhou. I invite you two to discuss the construction of the two states." About the dock."

Shen Ruhui's first thought was, "The general is going south from the sea to attack Yangzhou?"

Zhao Hanzhang paused and looked up at him.

Shen Ruhui was startled and lowered his head: "You, just pretend you didn't hear anything. I didn't say anything."

Cao Ping tried his best to shrink his presence on the side, his heart pounding.

Fu Tinghan said: "The dock is built to go to sea."

He said: "There is a piece of land on the other side of the sea with a large number of gold and silver mines, which can relieve the pressure on the national treasury."

Shen Ruhui and Cao Ping didn't believe it at all, but they didn't dare to say it out loud. They could only complain in their hearts, why didn't you say there was a fairy mountain on the other side of the sea?

China has a vast land and abundant resources, but what doesn’t it have?

If it is difficult to find it in China, how can we expect that there will be such treasures in barbarian lands overseas?

It must be to go south to attack Yangzhou, right?

Both Shen Ruhui and Cao Ping thought they understood. They lowered their heads to look at the drawings drawn by Fu Tinghan. They thought seriously that if troops were sent from the sea, the ship would be heavy. After all, in addition to soldiers and food, they also had to carry Siege equipment is very heavy, so the choice of dock must be done carefully.

Shen Ruhui quickly drew three places on the drawing. "Based on the data and drawings, these three places are the most suitable. But whether it can be built and how it can be built, we have to see it on site."

Cao Ping looked at the three places, calculated the data in his mind and said: "Yes, the data of these three places are the best, but I don't know what it is like on the ground."

Zhao Hanzhang pondered, "Need an on-site survey?"

To build such a large wharf, the designer must have seen it on site before starting the construction. Who dares to start with just these drawings and data?

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at Fu Tinghan and asked Shen Ruhui, "Shen Sinong, I heard that you improved the plow and soybean planting methods?"

Shen Ruhui was stunned for a moment and then said: "It's just a slight improvement in the handwriting given by Fu Shangshu. The first contribution should be made by Fu Shangshu."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and asked: "Do you have any new insights into the cultivation and production increase of wheat, as well as the sowing and production increase of rice?"

Shen Ruhui mentioned it in his heart, hesitated for a while and then whispered: "I, I have been studying how to compost recently. Wheat eats fertilizer. It needs to be fertilized every year after it returns to green. However, because farmers raise few livestock, all the fertilizer is piled. not enough."

Seeing the strange look on Cao Ping's face, Shen Ruhui said quickly: "The lower official once asked Fu Shangshu for advice on this matter. Fu Shangshu is really knowledgeable. He said that fallen leaves and branches can be used as fertilizer, but it is just because they are not rotten enough, and the weather is hot and the temperature is high." Things rot quickly in the south because of the cold weather, but things rot slowly in the north where the temperature is low, so the key to turning these fallen leaves and branches into fertilizer is temperature."

So don't look at him with such strange eyes. He doesn't have any special quirks. Fu Tinghan also understands these things, okay?

If we talk about perversion, it must be Fu Tinghan before him.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at him with sharp eyes, "So has Shen Sinong researched it?"

Shen Ruhui whispered: "It's just that it has initial results. I don't dare to say that it has been researched. I think we need to take a look again."

After all, the fertilizer he burned was only used on a few vegetable plots, and he had never tested it in the field. He didn't know how effective the fertilizer was, but privately Shen Ruhui was very confident.

He paused and then said: "As for sowing rice, I tried it in several fields the year before last and the year before last. I waited until the seedlings were three inches tall before transplanting them. When harvested, the rice seedlings were about two inches taller. The harvested rice ears were It is also longer and more resistant to drought, and the yield per acre is about one to three bushels more.”

Don't look at the fact that one acre only yields about one bushel more. This is the average yield per mu. If there are ten acres of rice, that is one hundred bushels more...that is, one stone.

One stone of grain is enough for one person to last for a hundred days. If you save money, you can eat longer without starving to death.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at Shen Ruhui with sparkling eyes. How could he be willing to let him build a dock?

Such talents should stay in Sinong Temple and continue to study the cultivation of various food crops.

Her eyes moved to Cao Ping.

Cao Ping was shocked and said quickly: "I followed Fu Shangshu's instructions and built two water mills and two forging mills along the Luoshui River. The electricity you want to make is also being studied. There are some looks."

Zhao Hanzhang asked with bright eyes, "Oh? Have you achieved anything?"

Cao Ping said a little aggrievedly: "It's just a bit of a clue. The craftsmanship required by Fu Shangshu is very fine. Few craftsmen can do it. It is very difficult to store that kind of divine power in such a small box."

In Cao Ping's view, electricity is equivalent to divine power, an existence like lightning in the Tianshan Mountains.

Thunder and lightning are originally created by gods, and now Fu Tinghan wants to be a miracle worker. He not only creates electricity, but also stores it and uses it. Isn't that equivalent to being a god?

Cao Ping was frightened every time he went to operate and research, and the workshop did explode a few times. Although there was a crackling sound every time and there were no casualties, it still frightened him.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at him with pity and understood him, "I'm embarrassing you. The electric workshop is indeed difficult. Let's leave this matter to Fu Shangshu and Cao Shi. How about you go to Qingzhou and Guangzhou to build the shipping terminal?"

Cao Ping:......

Qingzhou, a wild land, he didn't want to go to.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at his expression and immediately said: "I will appoint you as Zhenhai envoy, fourth rank, with the same position as governor. You can call on the people of Qingzhou and Guangzhou to build docks."

The embarrassment on Cao Ping's face immediately dissipated and he began to think deeply.

Shi Shi was a sixth-rank official, so he jumped up five ranks at once.

Cao Ping swallowed, couldn't help but look at Shen Ruhui, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed, "I will live up to General Hua's expectations."
