The Spring Festival of the 11th year of Chongzhen is coming soon, and Shandong has a very lively New Year this year. At this time, Shandong, especially Denglai Prefecture, almost every family has food and meat.

After a year of development, the aquaculture industry has grown very fast.

The number of chickens and ducks in the East Three Prefectures has reached more than 90 million, with an average of about ten people per person. The stock of live pigs has reached seven million, and almost one person has an average of one person.

The number of cattle stocks has increased to 1.8 million, and the growth rate is very slow. Because of the breeding speed, cattle are generally not slaughtered.

Although the East Three Prefectures have been developed for many years, the population density of the East Three Prefectures is not very high, with only a population of more than 8 million.

Compared with the 1.3 billion people in later generations, the land area and resources for developing the breeding industry are much more abundant.

The situation in the Western Three Prefectures is worse. The chicken and duck stock is only more than 60 million, and the live pig stock is more than 4 million. However, the population of the Western Three Prefectures is also smaller than that of the Eastern Three Prefectures.

In the past, the three Western prefectures flourished, but now the three Eastern prefectures are even more prosperous. The population of the three Western prefectures is only more than 5 million. The reason for this is that the remnants of the three Western prefectures are very strong.

The King of Lu and the Confucius Mansion are the two largest landlords in the three Western prefectures. They are not under the jurisdiction of Zhao Yan. One Confucius Mansion occupies more than 6 million mu of land, and the King of Lu also has nearly 4 million mu of land.

They occupied a large amount of resources and were not under Zhao Yan's jurisdiction. Their policies were far less than those of the East Three Prefectures, so people naturally did not want to stay in the West Three Prefectures as tenants.

Seeing that the policies of the East Three Prefectures were good, the tenants from the West Three Prefectures all took their families to the East Three Prefectures.

Although the Confucius Mansion and King Lu were not under Zhao Yan's control, the local administrative power was under Zhao Yan's hands. If the tenants wanted to go to the three eastern prefectures, they could just approve the road.

The result...it's naturally tragic.

Now the King of Lu and Confucius's Mansion are short of tenants. While looking for tenants everywhere, Zhao Yan is competing with them for help, but he doesn't want to mention the treatment. As a result, a large area of ​​land grows weeds there.

I don’t know who came up with the idea, the Confucius Mansion directly changed the farmlands of the Xisan Mansion into farms and began to engage in animal husbandry in their fields, solving the problem of the lack of tenants in one fell swoop.

The King of Lu was not like that, but increased the treatment of tenants. After all, the benefits of growing cotton are relatively large, and the benefits are similar to before. After all, cotton processing is simple and sales are good. After increasing the treatment of tenants, although the income is affected to a certain extent, it is almost the same.

The plots of Xisanfu are used to develop animal husbandry? This is simply a huge waste. After all, the plots of Xisanfu are very suitable for growing economic crops.

This is also the reason why Zhao Yan planned to take action against the Confucius Mansion. King Lu was better. He occupied less land than the Confucius Mansion, and his management was not so chaotic.

The difference between the Western Sanfu and the Eastern Sanfu is mainly because the crops are different, so it is impossible to use the land to develop in the Western Sanfu.

Therefore, the problem of land annexation must be solved. In a sparsely populated area like Liaodong, it is absolutely normal for individuals to own a few thousand acres of land.

But in the Western Sanfu, five hundred acres are Zhao Yan's bottom line.

Too little land will create poverty. Too much land will create a widening gap between the rich and the poor. This refers to the inequality in agricultural income.

Although the land in the Western Three Prefectures is very concentrated, this year's Spring Festival is also easy to spend, and on the surface it is even more lively than the Eastern Three Prefectures.

There are many merchants and gentry in the Western Three Prefectures. In order to celebrate this year's victory, those merchants made money this year, so this year will naturally be lively.

The New Year in the East Three Mansions is not as lively as before, because many soldiers have entered the battlefield and many soldiers cannot go home for the New Year.

However, the soldiers spent the year in Liaodong and were obviously good.

Although the Spring Festival in Liaodong is not very comfortable, except for the sumptuous meal delivered from Longkou on New Year's Eve and the first day of the first day of the lunar month, we continued to fight at other times.

This winter offensive swallowed the entire Liaodong in one bite.

The goods seized from the Qing Dynasty were seized in Tieling, about 11 million taels were seized in Chenyang, and about 3 million taels were seized in other areas.

The Qing Dynasty's treasury was only about three million taels, and other assets were the personal property of other Tartars. Every time they looted, most of each Qing soldier would hide some property. However, whenever the princes such as Oak Ajige and Dorgon plundered south, they would inevitably embezzle a lot of wealth.

These seized property were only part of it, and some were taken away by the escaped Qing Tartars, and the other part was used to purchase supplies from Shanxi merchants.

If it weren't for this, the Qing Dynasty's treasury wouldn't have been that little money.

This offensive recaptured twenty-eight cities in Liaodong and conquered the entire Liaodong towns. 18 million taels of wealth were seized.

Seventy-sixty-one thousand slaves were captured and more than one-to-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-

The Qing Tartars captured almost 1.5 million, but half of them were cut, leaving only 760,000 labor-intensive ones.

Except for the Third Infantry Battalion of the Liaodong Army who stayed in the Xiaolinghe Prevention Army, the other battalions dispersed into small groups and began to sweep the countryside after conquering the towns in the area they were responsible for and after conquering the farms where the Han people gathered.

After nearly half a month of sweeping, most of the Manchu Tartars in Liaodong were cleared, and only a small part of them remained hidden.

After all, Liaodong is so big, there are so many places to hide. In addition to the fact that the Liaodong Plain is not easy to hide, the densely packed areas are very easy to hide.

As for how to deal with those slaves, Zhao Yan ordered Mao Yuanyi: "These 760,000 slaves will be transported back to Shandong. If these slaves are left in Liaodong, they will easily be run away by them. After they are transported back, they will be sentenced to death."

"The lord is very worried, but where should he be tortured?" Mao Yuanyi asked.

"The face must be visible. Those that are filled with memory are just the hands." Zhao Yan said without thinking. The so-called tattooing is to tattoo the prisoner's body, leaving a permanent mark.

Tattoo punishment was very popular in the Song Dynasty, and Lin Chong, who was in the Water Margin, was tatto punishment.

The reason for taming is that I am afraid that these slaves will run away, so I naturally have to mark them out to get them back.

The Qing Tartars caught were buried all the old and young. After these slaves died of exhaustion, the Qing Dynasty was basically exterminated.

Fighting with the Qing Dynasty was the most disgusting because it could not recover the cost at all.

The Qing Dynasty killed many Han people, enslaved many Han people, and robbed them of their wealth. Even if nearly 20 million taels of wealth were recovered in this battle, it was not enough to make up for the huge losses.

If you can kill it once and then drag it back and kill it again, that's not enough.

The Qing Dynasty was able to develop to this point, and it was parasitic on the Han people. They had no valuable things to make them pay the price, and they could not come up with anything equivalent to make up for the losses of the Ming Dynasty.

How can you calm down the disgusting feeling without traumatizing these disgusting savages?

Talking is just the first step! I will torture it slowly later.

After Mao Yuanyi left, Zhang Buyun came to Zhao Yan during the New Year.

"Lord, thirty merchant ships from the California colony have successfully returned yesterday. In addition to the 18 million taels of wealth seized in Liaodong this time, our fiscal budget can double this year. Will we make another budget in a while?" Zhang Buyun ran to ask.

Thirty large merchant ships that set sail from California yesterday have returned to Shandong, with 500,000 taels of gold, 30 million taels of silver, and 30 ships of cargo and 300,000 marten per piece.

The cargo of the thirty merchant ships plus Shanghai minks is worth at least 13 million taels.

Together, California's profits paid by the country have reached 48 million taels, and Liaodong's 18 million taels, which is 66 million taels a year.

The fiscal budget was overdrawn by more than 5 million taels, and there were still 61 million taels to make a budget.

"Re-program the fiscal budget after the Spring Festival. Let each department see what projects have been added." Zhao Yan nodded and agreed.

Of course, these 60 million taels of silver cannot be put in the warehouse to play, but it is necessary to reserve it.

Zhaojiabao was busy celebrating the Spring Festival and preparing for a wedding for Zhao Yan. During the Spring Festival, Zhao Yan took a group of senior executives to the cemetery to worship the stele of heroes, and stayed in the Science and Technology Academy for the next time.

Productivity needs to be improved!

So you have to get the steam engine out earlier.

In the study of new steam engines, Shi Kewei's uncle is a mechanical repairman. He has studied machinery since he was a child.

After coming to the Academy of Sciences, he showed superb talent for machinery. The group he led was originally the fastest researcher of new steam engines.

Currently, the condenser and gear linkage have been made, and after the barrel boring machine has been made, cylinders with sufficient accuracy have been polished.

During the Spring Festival, the steam engine research team did not go home and was very excited to assemble this new steam engine at the Science and Technology Academy.

The steam engine originally developed has begun to pump water in the mines in Handan, and the water pumping effect is very good. At the same time, the research on gear linkage has also been applied to old steam engines.

The application was very successful. A spinning mill that uses steam engines as power has started construction, but the power of the old steam engine is far from reaching the point of pulling the train.

It will take some time to study trains, but the railway needs to be paved first.

The new steam engine was finally assembled on the eighth day of the first lunar month of the eleventh year. With the attention of tens of thousands of people, the steam engine started to operate very successfully.

At that moment, Zhao Yan was very excited.

The steam engine finally succeeded!

After testing, this type of steam engine reached 1,600 horsepower and could rotate 80 times per minute, making it a relatively mature steam engine.

This of course has a lot to do with the drawings directly given by Zhao Yan.

It directly saved many R&D steps and created a steam engine of 1,600 horsepower and 80 revolutions per minute.

But this is still very different from the steam engines in later generations. The potential of the steam engine is far from the same time, and tens of thousands of horsepower can be achieved.

Regarding the issue of safety surnames, this new steam engine has added safety valves, which greatly improves safety surnames, but it still needs to be put into production and maintenance, otherwise major accidents will still occur.
