Chapter 262: Yang Wenyue, an old man!

For people in this era, agricultural machinery was a vague concept. At that time, the cultivation tools were mainly cattle, then curved plows and rakes. Apart from this, there were few other agricultural tools. As for large machinery, there were no one. However, it does not mean that the people in the Ming Dynasty did not know the role of agricultural machinery.

In fact, there is a person who conducted special research on this.

This person is Song Yingxing.

"The Creation of Things in Heaven" compiled by him focuses on various advanced technologies in industry and agriculture. In this book, Song Yingxing has already mentioned large-scale agricultural machinery. If this person is captured as soon as possible...

"Damn it, Shen Baiyi, this bastard!"

When Zhang Zhun thought of Song Yingxing, he couldn't help but hate the Shen family in Suzhou.

Originally, his plan was good, and he wanted to get Song Yingxing to his own territory and contribute to his own efforts. Chen Lingfei had also found Song Yingxing's residence. As long as the final plan was implemented, Song Yingxing could be kidnapped. As long as Song Yingxing arrived, the Agricultural Science and Technology Department would have a real manager. Unexpectedly, Shen Baiyi came out and intervened, Chen Lingfei's plan would be disrupted.

What's even more hateful is that according to the inquiries of Huang Silang and others, Song Yingxing also had an older brother named Song Yingsheng, who was a real court official. He is now the county magistrate of Tongxiang County, Zhejiang Province. If Song Yingsheng forcibly kidnapped Song Yingxing, Song Yingsheng would not know what would happen. Kidnapping relatives of the court official official is not big or small, and it was also a storm. Zhang Zhun had no power in Jiangnan and could not guarantee that there would be no accidents during the kidnapping process. After all, there was still a long distance from Yuanzhou, Jiangxi (near Yichun City, Jiangxi) to the estuary of the Yangtze River.

Considering that Song Yingsheng was an official appointed by the court, the ancestor of the Song family, and the family of officials, Zhang Zhun came up with a better way to get Song Yingxing, that is: adjust!

With a transfer order, Song Yingxing was transferred to Zhang Zhun's territory.

Of course, such cross-provincial operations are a bit difficult. If the cross-provincial mobilization is only powered by Beijing or Nanjing, the Ministry of Personnel in Beijing. The prefect of a place or even the governor of a province cannot mobilize officials across provinces. However, as long as there is money to open the way, there is no big problem. The market will not be too expensive, and one thousand taels of silver can be handled. Song Yingxing is just a small, indifferent and without a rank of teachers. He transferred him to Shandong to serve as a sesame official of the ninth or eighth rank, which is also a good promotion for him personally. Song Yingxing is not the kind of noble person, so he is naturally happy to be promoted.

For example, the professor of the Aoshanwei has been promoted from an eighth-rank official position, from an incomparable teacher to an eighth-rank professor, which is already a good promotion. Song Yingxing himself should be satisfied. It would be even better if Song Yingxing could also run the Aoshanwei and Lingshanwei's medical schools in the Aoshanwei and Lingshanwei and cultivate more educated talents while studying agricultural technology.

Generally speaking, the Wei school in the Ming Dynasty was generally established during the Zhengtong period of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, all the guards in the world were soldiers, and the habit of focusing on martial arts and over literature was very serious. As the population increased, the children of soldiers often had quarrels, and fighting was even more common. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the court ordered that all places in the country with military guards should set up Wei school, and selected excellent military officers and children of soldiers to attend school for education.

In this way, the Wei school in various parts of the Ming Dynasty was generally established. The specific courses of Wei school were ritual, music, shu, shu, shu, and shu, and shu, and shu, and later, the two subjects of music and shu, and only four subjects of ritual, shu, shu, and shu. The Wei school mainly recruits children from military households, but is not limited to children from military households. If the nearby households are willing, they can also send their children to Wei school to study.

The treatment of Wei School is similar to that of the official schools outside. Generally speaking, students in Wei School are divided into third-class students. First-class students are called "Lishen Students". There are only a few people. They can receive 60 kilograms of rice from Wei School every month, which is the best students. Second-class students are called "Zengguang Students", so there is no food to receive. Third-class students are called "Attached Students", which are the most ordinary students.

The location of the Aoshan Weiwei is called the Confucian Temple, and the main learning place is called Minglun Hall. At 7 o'clock every morning, students wear uniform clothes and come to Minglun Hall in groups of three to study with the professors until three o'clock in the afternoon. The teaching style of the Confucian Temple is rigorous, and students must memorize what the teacher teaches every day, and review it every three days.

When Aoshan Wei and Wei School was prosperous, the Confucian Temple occupied a wide area and consisted of buildings such as archways, Limen, Panchi, Wanren Palace Wall, Lingxing Gate, Dacheng Gate, Dacheng Hall, Chongsheng Temple and a side hall. There were 132 students, 1 professor, one academic officer, two teacher, three tutors, one official, one Zhaifu, two chefs, and six Kuzi.

When Hou Shanping was young, he was a student of Aoshan Weiwei. Of course, the Aoshan Weiwei Academy now has no longer the same scene as before. Zhao Yinying always ignored Weixue Academy and ignored it. The funds needed by Weixue Academy were constantly arrears, and in the end they simply stopped paying off. By the Chongzhen period, the Aoshan Weiwei Academy had completely stopped running. After Zhang Zhun controlled Aoshan Weiwei, he allocated 500 taels of silver and rebuilt the Weixue Academy.

However, the architecture can be restored to its original appearance as soon as possible, but it is very difficult to find a teacher. The original teacher Wei Xue has long been trying to find a way out. As long as the cultural people are willing to put down their figure, it is still no problem to make a living. Kong Yiji and others are a different matter. Zhang Zhun's head is still the title of traitor, and ordinary cultural people are unwilling to come and surrender to him.

Zhang Zhun's meaning is to get Song Yingxing and then use his relationship to attract some unsatisfactory literati to Aoshanwei. As long as Song Yingxing is a role model, other cultural people will not be so resistant. Coupled with the stimulation of generous treatment and good development prospects, a group of literati can slowly gather. However, it seems that it will take some trouble to get Song Yingxing over.

"It's not easy to really do something these days!"

Zhang Zhun couldn't help but sigh slightly.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Luo, Zhang Zhun returned to Xiahe Village to handle some other chores. After staying in Xiahe City for one night, Zhang Zhun took a boat to Aoshanwei and went ashore directly at the east gate of Aoshan City. During the voyage, Zhang Zhun inspected the combat drills of the sailors.

By November, Xue Zhidie's shipyard will have three brand new Cangshan boats launched and officially become the battleships of the Fushansou naval army. The navy used to have only one professional combat ship, but now it has increased to four. Combined with the powerful Hu Ben gun, the combat power will naturally be much stronger.

In the future, with the continuous expansion of the dock, more Cangshan boats will be launched, and the combat effectiveness of the navy will become stronger and stronger. At this time, every sailor will become a backbone and an elite in the future. Therefore, every sailor Zhang Zhun saw is actively training himself and improving various skills so that he can play a more important role in the future.

Zhang Zhun, who came from later generations, had a special feeling for the navy. In the era without air force, the navy was a weapon for expansion. Just think about it, hundreds or even thousands of warships would block the door of other people's houses. What a spectacular scene! Even if you don't fight, you can scare the other party to death! Even if Zheng Zhilong has hundreds of warships, we may surpass him!

"This day will definitely come!"

Zhang Zhun made up his mind secretly.

Compared with Lingshanwei, the winter wheat sowing situation in Aoshanwei is a little worse. The original crops of Aoshanwei have been destroyed by the Tartars, and now these fields need to be reorganized. At the same time, the drought in Aoshanwei is more serious than that of Lingshanwei. The well digging work is carried out day and night, but it cannot fully meet the needs.

When it comes to the busiest person of Aoshanwei during this period, they are undoubtedly the craftsmen who dig wells. After digging ten deep wells in Aoshan City, they have to dig as many wells as possible in the vast fields. These wells adopt the principle of compression. As long as they keep pressing the switch, they can suck up water, which is similar to modern hand-pressing wells. For Aoshanwei, these hand-pressing wells are the most powerful weapons to deal with drought.

"Lingshanwei is preparing to sow 240,000 acres of winter wheat, where are you?"

Zhang Zhun asked Shi Zhenshan and others.

The main grain crops sown in Aoshan City are also winter wheat.

“We have 250,000 acres.”

Meng Qinghao’s heroic answer.

“How many new fields have been reclaimed recently?”

Zhang Zhun nodded and asked again.

"Not many, about three or four thousand acres."

Meng Qinghao's regretful answer.

Huang Qingping also regretfully introduced that the fields around Aoshan City have been almost fully developed. To reclaim more wasteland, you have to go further away. Overall, the number of fields reclaimed by Aoshanwei is definitely not as good as Lingshanwei. Lingshanwei can have 900,000 mu of land, which Aoshanwei cannot do. Even if Aoshanwei develops to the limit, it will be about 600,000 mu.

“How many acres of winter wheat can be sown next fall?”

Zhang Zhun asked last.

"We also strive to reach 400,000 acres."

Meng Qinghao answered yes.

Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction.

The yield of winter wheat per mu is about 300 kilograms. 400,000 mu, that is 120 million kilograms. The tax of 40 kilograms per mu of land is about 16 million kilograms, which is not bad. At the same time, the food stored in the hands of the people should be quite good. As long as there is food in their jurisdiction, it is a good thing whether it is in their own hands or in the hands of the people.

"Sir, the people from Maoyansi are here."

While talking, Zhu Chengtai suddenly came in to report.

"Please come in."

Zhang Zhun nodded.

Soon, the intelligence personnel from Maoyan Department came in and sent an emergency information.

The information was sent by Ma Yi.

After reading the information, Zhang Zhun couldn't help but frown. The meaning of the information was very simple, that is, Yang Wenyue, the governor of Denglai, refused to appoint Zhang Zhun as the commander of Aoshan Guard. Since the intelligence network of Maoyan Department had not penetrated into the senior management of various yamen in Dengzhou Prefecture, Ma Yi received this news as the fifth day after Yang Wenyue and others finished discussing. With the time of intelligence transmission, seven days have passed.

Damn, Song Degang is untrustworthy! He gave him the credit for regaining Tian Hengdao, and he promised that his Aoshan Guard commander would not have any problems. However, the officers and soldiers went to Tian Hengdao, but their Aoshan Guard commander did not get it. Yang Wenyue, an old man, seemed to be unable to get along with him. Liu Zeqing and other officials agreed, and he opposed it alone.

"Sir, someone asked for a visit and said it was Song Degang's personal soldier."

While frowning, someone suddenly came in to report.

Zhang Zhun frowned again.

Song Degang? It’s really said that Cao Cao came, what did he send his personal soldiers to do?

"Call him in!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said.

Song Degang's personal soldiers arrived soon. After saluting, they said respectfully: "Sir, my general ordered the villain to send this letter to you in person."

As he said that, he presented a letter with both hands.

Zhang Zhun took the letter and glanced at it without any expression.

The letter was written by Song Degang himself, mainly to express his apology and to explain the situation during the discussion that day. Like the information sent by Ma Yi, Song Degang clearly stated that Zhang Zhun's appointment was stuck by Yang Wenyue. Except for Yang Wenyue, everyone else agreed. The reason why Yang Wenyue stuck Zhang Zhun was mainly for Zhang Zhun's occupation of Lingshanwei. Song Degang also reminded Zhang Zhun to be careful, and Yang Wenyue took a tough attitude towards him.

In order to show his sincerity, Song Degang did not write a letter to his master, and each word was written by himself. He was a general, and he didn't recognize a lot of words. It was indeed difficult to finish the letter himself. There were only a dozen words on a letter paper, and each word was crooked, as if it was a corpse that was chopped by a random knife. To be honest, it was written even worse than the words written by Zhang Zhun. But there was no way. If the master changed to write, sincerity would have been greatly condensed.

It seems that Song Degang didn't expect that things would become like this now. Even Zhang Zhun didn't expect that Yang Wenyue and Liu Zeqing's appearance was so ugly. It was obvious that when the two adults stood on the front line, the soldiers and generals below must have no credit. One was the governor and the other was the general. Do you need to take credit like this? No wonder Song Degang had a little sour tone in the letter, and it turned out that his plan was also failed.
