However……

Yang Xin was a bit thrilling.

Just five days later, under his oppression, Wang Wanqing had to work hard overnight to draw a bunch of steampunk-style paintings, and then together with a discussion of the steam engine and steam power machinery system written by Yang Xin, Huang Zhen brought it back to the capital by a fast ship and handed it to Mrs. Yang for his special offer to His Majesty the Emperor.

Then ten days later, Governor Yang, who was inspecting canned food production in Zhoushan, received the emperor's imperial edict.

"Return to Beijing?"

He said in shock.

"I heard that his Majesty was in a hurry to summon the governor."

Li Shi said with a smile.

The imperial edict was actually sent to Nanjing, and it was rushing for 500 miles. However, there was no way that Nanjing did not know where Governor Yang, who had been running around during this period, was at this time, so he sent it directly to Suzhou weaving. Fortunately, Li Shi could find him, so he simply ran to Jinshan Guard himself and asked the guards there to send him over with a centipede boat.

"Nothing else?"

Yang Xin said with some confusion.

"No!"

Li Shi said.

Governor Yang immediately understood that Tianqi was too excited and could not control his excitement.

His Majesty the Emperor urgently needed him to explain this steam power system himself. I have to say that he was still a little too impulsive on this issue and completely underestimated His Majesty the Emperor's enthusiasm for pursuing technology. Speaking of which, Wang Wanqing's painting skills are still good. She not only drew the schematic diagram of the steam engine, but also the animation diagram, which is actually just using simple animations...

OK, it's actually a small picture album.

As for how to make it move, it's very simple.

With the technical level of Apocalypse, you can understand the principle of this machine at a glance, and then the rest is how to turn it into reality. This is the real most difficult one. After all, cylinders, seals, various parts, and these messes need to be solved one by one. And the same machinery powered by steam engines, especially those full of steampunk style, which are like the works of science fiction writers in the late 19th century, can be said to be a wildly imaginative steam machinery imagination, instantly opening the door to a new world for His Majesty the Emperor.

It's no less than when the two met.

Of course, Apocalypse asked him to go back quickly.

Go back.

Anyway, the flood had basically passed at this time, because relatively sufficient food supply, coupled with the eight-month grain price that he forced to suppress, there was no large-scale chaos in the Jiangnan disaster area. There were also few victims who died of starvation. It was impossible to not have it, but there were no large numbers of people who starved to death. Especially in the severely affected areas, Wujin and Jiangyin, due to the long-term water reduction and the effective organization, the replanted crops were almost harvested at this time, and the sweet potatoes he was coerced and tempted to plant in Wujiang and other places have been supporting the poor during this period.

Using canned foods provided by Governor Yang and sweet potato leaves has been an important food for the poor in the countryside over the past month.

As for industrial production in cities, it has long been restored.

In fact, even those gentry at this time admitted that Governor Yang had saved countless victims.

As for Xuzhou, he has transferred a total of 50,000 victims from the worst-hit areas during this period by employing him. These victims are currently mainly resettled in the iron mine area of ​​Ma'anshan, and have increased to more than a dozen canning factories along the river, as well as the reclamation area in Fengyang.

However, the latter did not reclaim land, but used limestone everywhere in the area to burn cement, and then the bandits who reclaimed land used these cement to repair the reservoir...

Of course, the reservoir needs to be built in the Fengyang area.

Large ones cannot be repaired, but small reservoirs that irrigate thousands of acres can still be repaired.

Most of the modern reservoirs in that area were built in the 1950s, without any high-end materials such as reinforced concrete, and were earth and rock dams. However, cement still had to be used in some important locations. Besides, it is indeed too dangerous to build a dam over 50 meters, and it is still okay to build a dam of 20 to 30 meters.

But this kind of project requires organizational strength.

The militia in Fengyang Reclamation Area does not lack this organizational force.

Next, Yang Xin will continue to repair the area, just like in modern times, allowing the area to be filled with reservoirs.

After all, this is useful.

And he doesn't have to worry about the local gentry problem.

Speaking of Fengyang, the place was like the no-man's land before. During the Hongwu period, relying on Zhu Yuanzhang's special care, the area of ​​arable land in Fengyang Mansion once reached 400,000 hectares, but at that time it was measured with a small bow, which was smaller than that at that time. Of course, some people said that this number was wrong, and it should have been written as 400,000. As for Zhu Yuanzhang without Arabic numerals, there is no need to investigate how this problem occurs.

However……

There are still sixty thousand hectares now.

The entire Fengyang Prefecture has an area of ​​60,000 hectares of cultivated land.

This total area is equivalent to half of modern Anhui Province, and 80% is a behemoth of the plains, a super-giant mansion, with a total arable land area of ​​6 million mu, which is equivalent to the area of ​​a county.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty were always amazing.

Therefore, in this vast land that is comparable to the northwest Gobi Desert, Yang Xin can freely choose his favorite reclamation area and then build a small reservoir to deal with the subsequent drought. It is not just drought. There is almost no disaster in this area, but this year is a rare good year. In short, most of his life from Huaibei are also part of the disaster area in Fengyang Prefecture, and a total of 50,000 men, women, young and old are migrated, and the latter has no attachment to leaving his home.

After all, this is following Governor Yang.

Speaking of what kind of life do the Yangjiazhuang households in Fengyang Reclamation Area have been seen by these people for a long time. Now that Governor Yang hires himself, he will definitely live such a life. Since that is the case, he will follow quickly.

The migration of these 50,000 victims to the south has greatly alleviated the government's pressure on disaster relief.

In short, so far, both Jiangnan and Huaibei have survived this year's disaster.

As for next year...

Let’s talk about the year next year. Next year it’s the north. Next year it’s a severe drought in Hebei and a locust plague in Shandong. The entire Ming Dynasty is steadily entering a natural disaster mode.

Since Tianqi was summoned urgently, there was no need for Yang Xin to delay any further.

As for the canning factory here...

This place is special because the iron cans are produced here. It happened that some time ago, both Sugang and the iron-built production workshops soared. But then the two sides ceased to fight and the arms orders dropped sharply. The iron smelting workshops were crying and tears were all in tears. Governor Yang began to purchase a large amount of iron sheets. No matter how strict his requirements were, these iron smelting workshops could be made, especially those Sugang workshops in Wuhu. They are currently refining and refining them. The iron water from the blast furnace pig iron is directly into the cooked iron furnace and then smelting into high-quality cooked iron.

They can continuously provide Yang Xin with thin plates of iron.

It's just that the cost is high.

Then Yang Xin then plated the tin himself, and the rest was made by craftsmen, but the latter was completely handmade, so in the end a tin can was much more expensive than the can inside.

However, if you want to use this kind of thing as a strategic reserve, you can only use this kind of thing.

Put the cost aside.

After all, no matter how expensive it is, it is just less than a penny of silver, and a pound of iron is only more than a penny of silver. A skilled craftsman can make dozens of such iron cans in a day. The sea fish here is even cheaper. As the main fishing ground in China, the trawler fishing boats are like fish mountains when they come out. The remaining fuel is a considerable cost. This burning coal, and spices are even less worth mentioning to Governor Yang, who is on the Nanyang route.

Yang Xin set off from Zhoushan the next day, but he was on the Navy's Clippers and turned to North Korea in the middle.

Wild boar skin did not attack Luozhou.

He just sent a forward to test it, but then he ran into Yang Xin's Marines and was killed by the latter's spear formation and muskets of ten rounds and firing. Then Sun Chuanting attacked Hetuara, and the wild boar skin hurried back to Seoul to prepare for rescue. He stayed with Amin to guard the Quanzhou, but because of his hair and clothes, the Koreans in this area resisted fiercely, so Amin did not continue to move south. However, Ajige, as an Amin general, led the 5,000 Eight Banners Manchuria, 10,000 Eight Banners North Korea, and 10,000 Green Banners Army to the east to Busan.

Then he forced the North Koreans in Busan to shave their hair and change their clothes. Although he was resisted, Jiannu's suppression was also very effective.

In the end, the wild boar skin actually controlled North Korea.

Even Li Hui was controlled in Seoul and completely turned into his puppet.

Also, shaved your hair and dressed.

So the current King of the Great Jin Kingdom has already held a rat tail and is said to have cried in his palace.

At present, Li Yu only has a small area of ​​land in South Jeolla Province, but because a large number of Koreans who are unwilling to shave their hair and change their clothes are coming here, his territory is very tenacious, and with Qi Jinbu and the Marine Corps, there is no danger this year at least. As for the fact that Governor Yang cannot bring troops here for some things, Li Yu has no choice but to show his loyalty, he also shrunk and took out a box of jewelry to present it to His Majesty the Emperor to rescue the disaster.

Governor Yang expressed satisfaction with this.

However, Li Yu also begs Governor Yang to help get some food. After all, he is so big that even a traditional agricultural area cannot support so many people.

This is easy to deal with, just give him a loan.

Governor Yang stroked his pen and said that the King of Korea used the salt tax as collateral and borrowed 200,000 taels of loan. Of course, the interest must be calculated, and the profit is profitable, but it is enough to pay it off within 20 years.

Li Xiao immediately burst into tears of gratitude.

Then he gave four little beauties to Governor Yang.

However, Governor Yang said that he was very interested in Jeju Island. He had bought two islands for two concubines, but there were two other concubines who had no island...

Give it.

Li Wu did not hesitate.

So Xiao Miao, who kept clamoring for an island, also had his own island, but not the entire island. After all, there are many families on the island. Li Niao just allowed the Yang family to build houses and gather land on the island. Even if they were his family, Li Niao didn't think that this barren island would be worthy of the concern of people like Governor Yang, and it was suitable for raising horses there.
