Chapter 562 The road is endless
Author: The beggar
Of course, the current government arrangements are already full.
It’s the autumn harvest again.
Liaodong has also suffered a lot of disasters this year, as have the customs.
However, many agricultural facilities and water conservancy facilities in Liaodong are mostly newly built, and those left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty have been properly maintained, and agriculture and animal husbandry have not been affected.
Agriculture in Guannei picked up slightly after Heiqi took charge of the Qing Dynasty.
Institutions or some key facilities that serve agriculture. The Manchu Qing Dynasty has been in power for several years and has been patronizing wars and harming the people in the pass. After Black Flag came to power, under the power of the early empire, Zhu Youjian also had the opportunity to make this brand new country
The machine plays its due role.
It's just that it's impossible to revive the grassroots that has been decaying for many years.
Coupled with the turmoil in many places in the capital, Shanxi, and Hebei this year, it is no less.
This year's harvest in Guan Nei will definitely be enough to feed the people as long as it is properly prepared. It will be difficult to feed the army and the court, and difficulties are inevitable.
Liaodong still had to continue to deliver supplies to the pass.
Development and resource allocation inside and outside the customs had been arranged long before the receipt was requested.
If you want to develop a prototype steam engine and use it after successful production, you have to wait for the harvest to be transferred from the expected share for export.
Or, deduct it from the food and salary needed to recruit Dashun.
Considering that Zhu Youjian wanted to move quickly, even if the steam engine was only used for himself, he would not be able to ride on this steam-powered car in a year, two or even three to five years.
And this car can only be a steam train.
No shock absorption worked on the bad road, and Zhu Youjian's desire for railways became more urgent during the bumps: "In this way, the Railway Department under the Ministry of Internal Affairs will contact the Japanese Hirado clan to get some people, and then contact the reservation
The state capitals that the railway line passed through were notified, and corvee recruitment was started at the same time under the guidance of the Railway Department. The post stations were also moved to the nearest location along with the railway. At the same time, there should be no shortage of stations.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs will also provide some money to subsidize the conscripted servants, and the popular education on railways outside the customs must also be quickly followed."
If you go to Mongolia to build a railway, you will be picked up, but it is the same inside and outside the customs.
During the construction of the Liaodong Railway, it was robbed dozens of times, several hundred people were demoted to slaves, and several were beheaded. Only with the popularity of sticky poles and large and small cities in various places was it reluctantly stopped.
At this point, the railway operation cannot stop.
Whenever there are no carriages running on the railway, the tracks in the wilderness will have to be pried away.
The education rate inside the customs is higher than that outside the customs, and it also produces talents.
Some people have committed crimes on the Tongzhou local railway.
Unlike Liaodong, which was directly demolished and hard-built, Guannai painted and plastered the hardwood to build almost fake tracks and replaced the steel tracks. When it was discovered, several sections of the railway had been replaced in pieces.
This shows the importance of education.
Zhu Youjian had to pay attention.
Thinking of this, he thought of someone who wrote novels.
"How is the man named Chen Chen who was kidnapped earlier? How is he?"
I have long said that I want to find a novel writer, and follow the direction to write some novels and articles that can attract the old Black Banner savages, Mongols, Manchus, etc., and are oriented toward Chineseization, which will help with naturalization education.
I specially found someone with some skills at the stick-sticking place, and specially tied them from Nanjing.
He had been kidnapped for almost half a year, and he had been willing to die rather than give in. He said that he wanted him to write for the savages who established slaves, so it was better to chop off his hands.
Zhu Youjian thought that this might be a big loyalist, but he really couldn't meet him and let him know the inside story.
"Your Majesty, Chen Chen has already started writing."
"oh."
Forget it.
"Those people I asked to find before, please step up!"
"My servants are always urging me. One of them has been found, and there are traces of the other one. However, they have not all set out on the road yet, so I have not reported to Your Majesty."
Zhu Youjian suddenly became energetic: "Tell me."
You Shoulong knelt on one knee and said: "In Fuzhou, Sun Yunqiu, the son of Sun Zhiru, the prefect of Zhangzhou, followed his father's official body to his hometown in Guanzhang. He found that his father had died of illness at the end of the 16th year of Chongzhen. Sun Yunqiu was in the mountains.
He collects medicine to support his old mother and makes a living from it.
Bo Jue, a gunsmith under Governor Zhang Guowei, died in the twelfth year of Chongzhen. However, after an inquiry at his hometown in Suzhou, Niangzhu found out that he died of illness and left behind a son and a daughter.
In addition, with the help of Wang Gonggong, a special person from the sticky pole department has met Song Yingxing, but he is not willing to accept the funding from your Majesty."
When Zhu Youjian heard this, he shook his head and smiled, with some bitterness in it.
The son of a prefect, after his father died, his family fell into trouble and he had to go to the mountains to collect medicines to make a living.
A man who could forge cannons, manufacture waterwheels, muskets, mines, and ground crossbows, was proficient in astronomy, mathematics, and mechanical manufacturing, and even set up his own laboratory. He was an unknown person and did not even have an official position. He died of poverty and illness.
"Sun Yunqiu's family will take it over, and Bo Jue's children will also take it over. We will find out the writings and inheritance he left behind and try to recover them as much as possible. There is no need to worry about Song Yingxing."
The most important thing is to engage in scientific research talents.
Wang Chengen also knows this path very well.
Today, the families of the students in the factory school he runs came to complain. Donglin students outside heard that their sons were attending classes in the factory school and went to the dormitory where they lived to cause trouble.
Wang Chengen had no choice but to show off his eunuch skills and let the guards wave educational sticks to teach the students on both sides a lesson.
But if the sticks go away, the school may not be able to find a new teacher.
His reputation among scholars also became even worse.
Fortunately, he doesn't really care whether it stinks or not at the moment, he only cares about things at sea.
Zhu Youjian strolled back and forth in the north.
Messengers also traveled north and south, and the Black Flag Navy at sea also passed from Tsushima Island to Jeju Island and arrived outside Hangzhou Bay in the East China Sea of the Ming Dynasty, and successfully established contact with the Nanyang Company of the Ming Dynasty.
So a conspiracy against the Zheng family began.
Oh no, it's a conspiracy.
The three treasure ships belonging to the leader of the Nanyang advance fleet are parked in Hangzhou Bay, and the fleet of the Black Flag Navy is also outside Hangzhou Bay. It is impossible not to miss the Japanese, North Korean and ships coming from the South China Sea.
But everyone thought that the Black Flag Navy was coming for the Nanyang Advance Fleet, and there would be a battle between the two.
The Japanese in Ningbo Port are talking about the black ship incident in Nagasaki Port that will happen in the Ming Empire!
They have four big black ships, and the other warships together are estimated to be two hundred.
There are many merchant ships and small ships in the Ming Dynasty. There are probably nearly 2,000 ships in the entire Hangzhou Bay, but warships are rare and their combat effectiveness is hard to say.
Ningbo Prefecture also thinks so.
Therefore, Hangzhou directly refused the advance fleet to retreat into the Qiantang River in advance, saying that "most of the people in Hangzhou work on the river, and large ships entering the river would disturb the residents" and would not allow them to go to Hangzhou to avoid the war.
The Donglin Party is all ready to watch the show.
So the Zheng family naturally thinks so too.
Zheng Zhilong had previously instigated a gang of pirates from the East China Sea to besiege the advance fleet, and was killed and defeated. However, after learning about this recently, he naturally smiled.
Then he quickly gathered manpower for warships in the East China Sea, and he himself led the fleet north to station in Taizhou.
At this time, basically all the pirate gangs under the command of the Zheng family in East China were summoned.
Prepare to be a fisherman and make a profit.
