Chapter 359 Time is quiet

Sun Chuanting was thrown to Liaodong like this...

He will do what he should do.

It can be confirmed from the original historical performance that this is a cunning, black-hearted, and he will never be ruthless when killing people. He also knows how to appease the generals, but he dares to attack the gentry even if he is forced to do it. In short, he is a ruthless character who feels necessary to do it and will not hesitate.

He knew better than Yang Xin how to act when he came to Liaodong.

All he wanted was Yang Xin to give him a knife. At first, what he thought was that Yang Xin would specifically tell Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Shujiao and others that they would let these two troops kill and suppress him when necessary, but giving him the new army would be a surprise. This new army is regarded as the hope of the Ming Dynasty to revive the imperial guards. Both the government and the opposition and even the emperor had high hopes for these 20,000 people, especially this new army was also the commander of the civil servants. Sun Yuanhua was a juren and was also a member of the civil servants and a member of the Jiangnan family.

Anyway, he was very satisfied with this.

The rest is to see if he dares to let go of killing people.

And Governor Yang prepares his wedding next...

Actually, there is nothing to prepare.

Governor Yang is a honest and thrifty person. He has only a small courtyard in the capital. He can be said to have no money left. He searched his small courtyard and could not find more than 5,000 taels of silver. He never paid attention to luxury, and even had few slaves...

Well, at least on the surface.

In short, how could an official like Governor Yang have a luxurious wedding?

Moreover, Fang Congzhe also disagreed. Fang Shoufu is also honest and honest. He should take the lead in not engaging in luxury when disasters are constantly being encountered in various places.

So in this way, after an ordinary day, an ordinary wedding, Fang Tinglan, who had already become an old couple on the bed with Governor Yang, officially became Mrs. Yang, and became the mistress of his three-entry house. After less than half a month of marriage, Governor Yang openly took a concubine, and then brought Huang Ying, who had become a widow, to the back house. In addition, Xiao Miao, and the Wan'er who brought back this time, Governor Yang also lived a decadent life of one wife and three concubines.

Similarly, Governor Yang's wealth also suddenly expanded.

Because Mrs. Yang brought back all the assets that were previously listed under the Fang family's name.

A bank that has completed the layout of most of the Ming Dynasty has opened the farthest semicolon to Chengdu. The entire bank has nearly ten million taels of deposited silver, but this money is not in the capital, but is stored in the fortress in the new city. A bank that has also completed the layout of most of the Ming Dynasty has all the business scope, and is actually relying on each other and plundering money from various places. The largest business at present is grain, from Sichuan to the north.

Also engaged in other things made by Yang Xin,

Even including agricultural reclamation.

These businesses hired people to reclaim land in the local area, then planted sweet potatoes to make wine, and then sold the brewed wine on the spot, even grinding the sweet potatoes into flour and selling them directly. Anyway, they were backed by Fang family and Yang Xin as their backers. These businesses were still very powerful in the local area, especially in the north. Yang Xin’s goal was to continuously reclaim land in various places, especially those drought and water-scarce places, and plant sweet potatoes to make wine. Once the famine comes, they will turn these sweet potatoes into wasteland grains. Once sweet potatoes have sharply reduced yields, they can maintain sufficient yield performance, so the locals will definitely plant them.

After all, they all saw the value of this thing.

Especially in Shaanxi.

The fertile fertile fields in Guanzhong have long become a thing of the past.

At this time, Guanzhong not only used the white canals that were irrigated by Jing River, but also had a slight role. All the water conservancy facilities that once irrigated the land of Guanzhong have been destroyed in history.

Unless Yang Xin has the ability to build the Bahui of Guanzhong, there will be no real change there. The only way is to promote sweet potatoes and use the natural advantages of this crop to alleviate the coming hunger era. Although the sweet potatoes are indeed shameful, it is the most realistic choice at present. Not only Guanzhong, but in fact, all places like Northern Zhili, Shandong and Henan must fully promote sweet potatoes, but the land is controlled in the hands of gentry. Yang Xin does not have the ability to turn over the table.

Then you can only be commercially settled.

The company hired people to reclaim wasteland in various places. There are still a lot of unreclaimed wasteland in the north. At present, the total of the entire northern Zhili is 50 million mu, while the modern Hebei has nearly 100 million acres of cultivated land.

In other words, it has double the potential for reclamation.

There is no need to do more here. As long as there are 10 million mu or even one million mu of sweet potatoes, it is also a huge wasteland-rescue grain warehouse. This year, Yang Xin's harvest in the Tianjin land reclamation area was as high as one million stone valleys. After these rice were shelled, they sold rice to the capital as surplus grain, which directly brought the rice price of the capital back to one or two taels. Although it is difficult to have a second place like Tianjin, the commercial reclamation output of sweet potatoes will still significantly lower the grain prices in the north.

That's all.

Anyway, the gentry in the north cannot cause trouble.

Mrs. Yang brought these two pieces to the Yang family, and Yang Xin’s own is the Tianjin wasteland that has been increased to 300,000 mu. In addition, Fengyang’s wasteland has more than 100,000 mu, but the latter cannot bring him enough profits. The wastelands there are mainly corn and sweet potatoes. The yield is not large in addition to feeding the mountain villagers. They are all processed and sold on the spot, but those mountain villagers are indeed full.

Apart from land, there are factories.

The largest industries are still fishing and aquatic processing.

And tin plating has been made. After all, Eastern Europe had it two hundred years ago, and now European countries are also working hard to build their own tinplate.

The next thing to solve is canning.

As long as he can make tin cans, his cans can be produced crazily.

This thing is added with more messy anticorrosion materials, and it is estimated that it will be enough for decades. The British dare to give it to soldiers for half a century of canned food. It is indeed exaggerated for decades. It will be possible for more than ten years. These canned foods can be stored. In this way, once a famine occurs, there is not enough food, you can directly transport the canned food. Moreover, those canned foods do not need to be used for other fish, and all of them are whales. The larger the oil prepared for the rescue, the better. The heavy oil and salt are made like lunch meat, and the pressure is like stones in a can...

In a few years, it will probably be like a real stone.

But this doesn't matter.

The hungry people who even eat the flies Guanyin soil during famine do not care whether it is uneating or not.

Just eat it.

What's more, these are all high calorie, so it's estimated that one person can save his life by giving five taels a day.

One gram of fat is nine calories, five taels of canned whale meat, no matter how you don’t have to provide more than one thousand, it’s enough to have these.

At least I can't starve to death.

In short, this is the most important industry at present of Governor Yang.

This is also the leading manufacturer of other clocks, because at this time, Europe had no pendulums and no escapement devices, and all of his clocks were available.

Glass mirror.

This also surpasses Europe.

The manufacturing of arms, even gunpowder, is also the best at present, but cannons are still cast, and there is no high-end equipment like cannon boring machines. The flintlock rifle has not been manufactured at present, and it is useless to manufacture it, because the cost is definitely so high that it is impossible to have large-scale equipment. The British also built it at this time, and it ended up almost half a century before large-scale equipment was installed.

Those plate-type spring manufacturing requires real high-level craftsmen.

Besides, Governor Yang doesn't think that the wild boar skin needs a flintlock rifle to deal with, and he may not even encounter an enemy that is turned into a flintlock rifle within twenty years.

A medlin gun is enough.

The next step is to imitate the Sur type of match rope gun.

This ultimate mesh gun is still worth promoting. The biggest difference between it and the bird gun is that the butt stock is truly turned into shoulder-to-shoulder shooting. The butt stock of the bird gun is still grip-type. In addition, this kind of mesh gun is also equipped with a bracket, like the turtledove gun. An iron rod with a bend on it is inserted into the ground, the gun is up, and the back stock is aimed at shooting.

In addition, there are shipbuilding, and cruisers are no longer built, but have been replaced by other official shipyards in various places. This kind of thing is for coastal defense patrols, and dozens of ships have been built. Although the Apocalypse Project coastal naval masters have all been replaced with this and a small number of auxiliary centipede ships, this kind of low-end work does not require Yang Xin. Whether it is Zhejiang or Fujian and Guangdong coastal official private shipyards, they can all be built such warships, especially Guangdong, which likes to use a lot of ironwood to build ships.

What they made is probably stronger than Yang Xin’s current ones.

Including the small cruiser used by Shen Yourong, it can also be built locally in Dengzhou.

At present, Yang Xin's shipbuilding mission is to build four battleships for the Apocalypse, and also to build amplified schooner for the newly established Nanyang Company. The first batch of schooner merchant ships with a load of 100 tons are expected to be put into commercial routes next year. These schooners are not very armed, namely six small cannons and crew muskets. Speed ​​is its most effective defense. No other ship can catch up with them on the sea. Of course, if necessary, you can also install more artillery, after all, this is also the best choice for privateers.

But Governor Yang doesn't want to be a pirate.

Because peaceful and stable maritime trade routes are the most beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

After all, as long as you come to the Ming Dynasty merchant ship, you will definitely give away silver. The more you come, the more you give. Since this kind of looting will shrink the maritime commerce, it will be unwise.

"By the way, we are considered a big family and a big business!"

One afternoon in early February of the third year of the Tianqi period, Governor Yang sat on the lounge chair in his garden pavilion, put down his own property statement and sighed.

The little meow next to him was feeding him a cantaloupe melon.

On the other side, Wan'er plays the piano and sings in a cappella.

Mrs. Yang was staring at a bunch of books behind her. Huang Ying was lying on the same table beside Mrs. Yang to deal with business issues with her. Two beauties of Yehe threw stones and smashed ice in the pond to play. They had been finding a little bit of the smell of their hometown in this boring game. The grass, who had grown into a big loli, and her good sisters looked at them with contempt, as if two cats were watching two stupid huskys.

Governor Yang, who looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, had a feeling of quiet time at this moment.

However.

"Look at that water!"
Chapter completed!
