my days with tyrants

Chapter 233
This is how Yang Feng started his new round of construction in Huining.

It is not easy for him to open up the North Road Shipping.

First of all, it is necessary to solve the transportation of materials from the reclamation area to Huining.

That is Lalin River Shipping.

The transportation of materials from the scattered reclamation points to the wharf, the construction of wharf storage, ships, and even the stops along the route must be constructed in advance. Fortunately, the Lalin River or the current name Huining River itself has enough water to bear the bulk Shipping of goods by water.

Then there is the warehouse in Huining City.

This is very important.

After all, it needs to be stored for the whole winter, although there is no need to worry about mildew...

Thirty degrees below zero is better than cold storage.

But rat proof is a must.

Then there are a large number of Songhua River ships, which should be as large as possible.

After all, even if the journey goes smoothly, these transport teams will have to go for half a year. It will take them two months to deliver the goods to Jing Haiwei, and they will not be able to return the same way. The transport ships are also disposable and need to go to Jing Haiwei. The sea ship carrying the cargo went south and returned on the route when Yang Feng came.If the whole process goes well, it will take more than four months. If it doesn’t go well, it will take half a year. That is to say, this group of people is full-time.

Therefore, the current personnel of the reclamation team still need to make certain adjustments.

As for shipbuilding...

There is a Jilin shipyard behind him!
Now that the development of Huining is over, the large-scale shipbuilding task of this shipyard is also over. The craftsmen recruited from all over the country are waiting for their new tasks. The shipyard will definitely be retained, but the thousands of craftsmen will definitely not be used.

Let Zhu Yuanzhang keep more than 1000 people, and then in addition to maintaining the warships of the Huining Navy, the main job left is to build ships for him. At worst, Ambassador Yang will pay them...

It was not Ambassador Yang who forced them to stay.

Obviously it was His Majesty the Emperor who asked them to stay in this icy and snowy place. Ambassador Yang was kind-hearted and couldn't see them suffering, so he found some ways for them to make money.Even for those who are willing to start a family here, Ambassador Yang will match them with women. Isn’t it just a woman? Ambassador Yang’s adoptive daughters are inexhaustible. After all, women are regarded as commodities in Japan and North Korea, including those chieftains these days. trade.

Then there is the shipping to Jinghaiwei, or the route to the lower reaches of the Songhua River.

But there are people here too.

The navy of the Ming army has long formed a stable cruise between Jilin and Wuguowei. Every year after opening the river, it will sail to Wuguowei to show the ruling power of Ming Dynasty to the tribes along the way.

Then go back.

As for the route from Wuguowei to Jinghaiwei, it has indeed been traveled twice. The first time is to go to Jinghaiwei for development, that is, when Jinghaiwei is established, and the second time is to build a temple.However, these two ships were also one-off, and it took too long to return from there against the current. It would be better to throw the boat and ride back.

But twice is enough to train people who are familiar with the route.

Let them lead the fleet.

What's more, there is not much goods for the first time. At present, only [-] mu of soybeans are planted in the first phase of land reclamation. Based on the current average yield per mu, about [-] shi will be harvested.

The sailing from Huining is of course a big ship. The modern route can sail thousand-ton inland river ships. Although the thousand-ton class is indeed an exaggeration, there is no problem with the thousand-ton class, so there are only a few dozen ships.However, with the current speed of land reclamation, it will be expanded to 15 mu next year. Those specially-made large land reclamation plows are all ten plows side by side, and there are more than a dozen oxen in front of the plow alone.

Most of these cattle are rented.

A cow works for a month, and then it is returned to the herdsmen for new ones.

The latter also liked the collaboration.

Because they can exchange food, ironware, and even salt and sugar cloth from the reclamation team.

The two sides are forming interdependence.

It's a bit like the relationship between farmers and herdsmen who reclaimed wasteland in western Liaoning in the late Qing Dynasty. The former rented the latter's cattle, and the latter bought the former's grain.

Of course, they have a good relationship with each other.

This is different from the late Qing Dynasty.

After all, the herdsmen here don't dare to show their temper to the reclamation team members. If they don't really fight, they can't fight the problem. The boss behind these reclamation team members alone can make them restrain all impulses.In fact, Yang Feng was not even needed. The old guy Zhang Dingbian went to communicate with them, and he frightened them honestly.

This is the premise of mutual respect.

……

two months later.

"This is the joy of a good harvest!"

Ambassador Yang stood at the edge of the harvested soybean field, looking at the forward harvester.

Of course with a harvester.

Small animal power harvesters are also much more efficient than manual labor. Even if it is twice as efficient, it is still a qualitative change. The one he is using now is actually an expert team from Sister Liu to give him what he can achieve in this era. Conditions, specially developed, it is said that several academician-level scientists are dedicated to worrying about animal power machinery for him.

It is indeed an exaggeration.

And it's free...

They really got nothing in return from Yang Feng.

At most, it verifies the existence of parallel universes and the theory of wormholes.

But only verified.

There are no other gains.

As for the ancient tombs he gave of this era, those are meaningless to these experts. What they want to know is how Yang Feng passed through, and how the radio signal was sent back from here.But at present, it is said that only a small progress has been made. Through the detection of a bunch of top scientific instruments, it is possible to detect the subtle changes in his energy when he communicates.

Then according to this change, the principle of the wormhole is deduced.

But nothing more.

Fortunately, if there is progress, one cannot give up. After all, traversing such a major subject deserves the obsession of scientists who have not made such groundbreaking discoveries for a long time.

As for his requests...

negligible.

Just find someone at the disciple level to deal with it.

In the end, all of Yang Feng's current agricultural machinery, including the supporting smelting technology and processing technology, are all realized in this way of Xia Ming's cross-time and space cooperation.At this moment, this harvester, which can be said to embody Xia Ming's wisdom across time and space, is pulled slowly through the soybean field by two cows, and then drives the chain and gears to cut off the soybeans from below with a reciprocating cutter. Dial into a wooden workbench behind by a lever.

The workers who followed kept picking up the soybean connecting rods inside the workbench and into the following carriages.

Load up a car and take it away immediately.

Another carriage waiting in line behind stepped forward to load.

Because these reclaimed fields are very long, a piece of land is more than one mile long, and the cattle pulling the harvester can keep their heads down and keep walking.

As for the drying ground, it is on the ground.

There is also no problem of being stolen here. The returned soybeans are directly thrown in the drying yard, waiting to be dried in the sun, and then the ox pulls the stone roller to grind the drying yard.

Very solid.

In this way, the harvesting groups have clear roles and the invisible soybeans are harvested as the cattle move forward.

"This thing can also harvest wheat?"

Zhang Fu watched the harvesting scene.

In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of ideals...

He resigned.

To be precise, he used his lack of ability as an excuse to ask for a replacement as the commander of Longquanwei. The Ministry of War saw that there was such a good thing?As far as Longquanwei's gray income for a year is concerned, how many generals are watching eagerly, and you actually quit?So they immediately proposed a new candidate. Zhu Yuanzhang had long ignored the matter. Although the emperor's grandson was also very puzzled, since Zhang Fu resigned himself, there was no need for him to stop him.

In the end, Zhang Fu was transferred back to Beiping, and went to Tongzhou Wei as a commanding officer.

It's a downgrade.

As for now, he just came to invite Yang Feng to have a reconciliation on Zhu Di's behalf.

The king of Yan has officially received the order and led the Commander Division of the Peking Capital, the Commander Division of the Northern Paradise City or the Daning Capital Division, and the Xingdu Division of Shanxi Province with [-] cavalry troops marching into the grassland.

Although the number is not large, all of them have completed the reform.

That is to say, the camel city is the core.

A large number of camels are accompanied by supplies. Once they encounter an enemy, they immediately use the camel city to build a base and release cavalry to fight the enemy. If the enemy attacks, they will use the camel city to defend.This has become the main tactic of the northern armies at present, which is equivalent to moving forward on the grassland. In the past, a large number of infantry and civilians had to be mobilized to go deep into the grassland, otherwise the safety of the transportation line could not be ensured.But now with this set of tactics, it can be separated from infantry and logistics as much as possible. After all, cavalry and camel cities can move with them, and the materials carried by those camels are enough to support a large-scale battle.

A camel can carry about [-] catties of supplies.

And there is no need to carry additional feed.

Of course, you also need to bring some just in case, but you can feed enough before leaving.

Grass can be eaten on the grassland.

They do not have the problem of being cut off the shipping line.

Even if the enemy tried to intercept on the grassland, camels that could move at the same speed as the cavalry could quickly retreat.

Of course, camels have to be specially raised.

So now in Ming Dynasty, camels are becoming an important material next to war horses. Not only are they being raised in large quantities in various pastures, but they are also purchased in large quantities from those guards in the Western Regions, especially King Zhongshun of Hami.As for the camels in his hands, most of them were middlemen, and they were exchanged from the current Oirat and the Mongolian Khan. He was killed by Ghost Kuva in history.

"Okay, people who knew Ningwei before borrowed to cut the wheat, and these reclamation teams also planted part of the wheat, but the people who knew Ningwei were divided into households, so they couldn't cooperate like this."

Yang Feng said.

Of course this thing cuts the wheat.

However, no matter whether harvesting wheat or soybeans, it needs to be done collaboratively. Although a harvester only needs one person to drive, it takes several people to assist and transport it, and they are all strong laborers.The military households in Huiningwei work in separate households, and there are only a few people in the family. The only ones who can really work are the couple, and at most the parents. They have neither so many supporting vehicles nor enough manpower.

Unless several companies cooperate.

But there is a race against time when harvesting wheat, so who will harvest it first?

This is still a military household, and there is already a certain basis for cooperation. If it is replaced by self-cultivating farmers, then don't expect them to be able to use it.

Big agriculture needs cooperation.

"Your field is like arranging troops!"

Zhang Fu said.

On the vast plain at this moment, harvesters like this are moving slowly, and carriages are constantly going back and forth, just like chariots on the battlefield.The land reclamation members of the harvesting team cooperated with each other, like soldiers on the battlefield, while the drying yards behind were busy women.In the residential area farther away, the vehicles delivering water and food are also driving here, and even under the shade of the trees, there are special babysitters, and the babies are lying in hammocks.

A reclamation team is a whole.

Every player is part of the whole.

All have their place.

This is definitely a brand new experience for people in the era of small farmers.

"Almost, not only agriculture, but also industry. Collaboration is the future."

Yang Feng said.

"Collaboration can also become an army the fastest?"

Zhang Fu said.

"Ha ha!"

Yang Feng only hehe.

Of course, everyone knows this kind of thing.

After all, the guard system of the Ming army can be regarded as a low-level cooperation. In a guard, those who farm, fight, make weapons, treat diseases, and even teach and do business are also division of labor and cooperation, but the farming is indeed Each has its own species, but if it is repairing water conservancy and the like, it is also completed by a militarized organization led by military officers.

As for the factories and wasteland reclamation teams that Yang Feng has built over the years, the initial discipline has been completed through cooperation, and of course he can recruit troops at any time if necessary.

But fortunately, he is doing this in remote areas like Huining.

The threat is limited.

"Go back and tell King Yan that even if he sends troops, he will have to celebrate the end of the new year. Then I will go to Kaiping or go directly to Yuerhai to meet him."

Yang Feng said.

He is not interested in going to Peking now.

Zhu Di had to be fully prepared for sending troops, and he had to choose the right time.

Usually it is after the new year, that is, just before the spring, because after the spring, the nomadic tribes disperse and open their herds. In the earlier winter, it was ice and snow, and the Ming army could not bear it. Only this window period belongs to a slightly warmer climate. , and the herdsmen haven't dispersed yet, so just go straight to a few major wintering pastures.

Yuyuerhai is the biggest one here.

Hulun Buir Prairie Well!

Although it was also minus [-] degrees, it was better than Cullen after all.

After losing the Monan Grassland, it can be used as a wintering ground.

Zhang Fu didn't say much, and continued to enjoy the semi-mechanized harvesting scene.

He then left Huining.

Although his new position is Tongzhi, the commander of the Tongzhou Guard, Tongzhou Guard, as the capital of Beiping, is of course also in the transfer of troops, so after he returns to his post, he will lead the cavalry of the Tongzhou Guard to join King Yan's sweep. Beizhong.And Yang Feng continued to complete his harvest in Huining. The [-] mu of soybeans in the entire reclamation area were all harvested and transported to the warehouse in Huining City before winter came.What is needed next is to wait for the long winter to pass, and then ship the ship down the Songhua River, and while transporting it to the Whale Triton here, the sea ship sailing from the south will also sail to this place. Currently the northernmost city of Ming Dynasty.

Complete the transfer there.

Eventually reach Jiangnan next winter.

Of course, Yang Feng doesn't need to care about these, he left in the twelfth lunar month.
