The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 317 "The Planter"

Kaiping Railway Station.

The steam engine train from the north stopped at the platform, and many passengers got off the carriage, including two young people.

"Cousin, go to my house to spend the night. I will take you to take the train tomorrow morning."

"Forget it, there are a lot of things in the mine now, and it's hard to take a four-day vacation in a row. Next time."

Hearing his cousin's refusal, the young man was very sorry.

"Thanks to my cousin, I have never been able to find a chance to thank my cousin. Now it is difficult to even have a meal at home."

"We are brothers, so we don't need to talk outside."

After being declined, the young man had no choice but to bid farewell to his cousin on the platform. The train restarted and left the station.

The young man went to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative to buy some dried fruits, and rushed all the way to Kaiping Zhongzuo Office, arriving home at noon.

There is only one woman in the family.

"Mom, I'm back."

When the woman heard the voice, she showed joyful eyes, "Didn't you say that the mine is very busy, why did you come back suddenly?"

The young man smiled and said, "The Mining Association made a surprise inspection, fined the owner a large sum of money, and forced our assigned miners to take a four-day vacation."

The employment situation in the mines in northern Kaiping is different from that in Beiping.

One is the miners recruited by the mine from Peiping itself, and the other is the miners sent to the mine by Taiji.

The former belongs to the mine's own workers and is governed by the rules and regulations of the mining association, while the latter is a management system negotiated between the mine and Taiji.

In order to avoid arousing opposition from Taiwan and Kyrgyzstan, the Mining Association currently has no right to directly manage the latter.

"Seriously?"

The woman looked worried.

"It's not serious. Our big boss is Zhang Dehui. His family has a big business. The most important thing in the family is food stamps. It's the warning letter that gave the big boss a headache."

Today's old Peking people seldom talk about money and money, and food stamps appear more frequently.

"Why didn't your cousin come? It was only two years since you introduced jobs to the family. Later, when your cousin came to give advice, you refused to listen to the persuasion, and the business really failed. Later, you found a job for you. I always wanted to thank him."

"His home is far away, and he doesn't want to delay."

"Well, life is better, but people are busier, and I don't know what's going on." The woman sighed.

"How big?" the young man asked indifferently.

"You went to work in the field early in the morning."

"I'm going to help."

The young man put down the gift box and went straight to the field.

This family was the owner of the honeycomb coal workshop in the west of Beiping back then, but they did not expect to move to Kaiping.

The young man entered Zhang Dehui's mine to work, became a military worker, and became the backbone of the mine.

Naturally, Zhang Dehui would not miss the development project in Kaiping, and had invested in mining in Kaiping for a long time.

Different from the current celebrity Zhang Bo's capital model, Zhang Dehui has deep connections and strong capital, so he is going more safely, although the speed is much slower.

The young man and his cousin were sent to work in the northern Kaiping mine.

Kaiping has few people and high welfare.

After his cousin's idea, the young man persuaded his parents to come to Kaiping as well. Sure enough, he was allocated [-] acres of land and even allocated a house.

It's just that the house is very simple. The young man has thought about it, and when he builds a group and a house here, he will buy a set immediately.

If he couldn't wait, he paid for the repair of the brick house.

It's not just [-] mu of land, but because the family is weak, [-] mu of land is already the upper limit, and no more can be planted.

The young man is unwilling to stay on the land. If he stays at home, it is not a problem to contract [-] mu of land.

The family saved some money during the two years when they opened the honeycomb coal workshop, plus their own wages in the past few years, and the savings from their parents' farming.

This family is enough to buy a group building house.

Kaiping has an open terrain, and the fields and acres are neatly built, and the squares are pleasing to the eye.

On the ridge of the field, a columbine cart engraved with the brand of the No. [-] Farm Tools Factory of Beiping was parked.

The old man next to him was loading beans into the pocket of the columbine cart, while the cattle were eating grass on the ridge with their heads down.

"Great, this car is easy to use."

Hearing the voice behind him, the stubborn little old man scowled with a straight face, "It's a waste of money."

The young man didn't take it seriously, he was used to his father's style, and he helped pack the beans with a smile.

"This columbine car is a new product. It is different from the traditional columbine car. Many parts are made of refined iron, so it takes twice as much labor."

"I have planted the land for a lifetime, but I still need you to teach me?"

The old man is more unyielding than before.

The business of the honeycomb coal workshop has declined, and he has never thought it was his fault, but someone else robbed his family's business.

This qi hovered in his chest and became his heart disease.

The two fathers and sons worked together, and soon the bean seeds were installed, and then the cattle were put on.

Farm cattle that have grown up in the fields by following their cows since childhood raise their heads very naturally and walk cooperatively. Often they already know what to do without the need for a password behind them.

"The name of this columbine is called an animal power seed drill in the technical newspaper."

"A columbine car is just a columbine car, so why not give it some weird name."

The two fathers and sons are in front of each other.

As the columbine cart moved forward, bean seeds were planted one by one into the fluffy ground.

The first seed drill in the West was inspired by our country.

However, since columbine carts are mostly used in the north, they are far away from the ports in the south of our country where Europeans often come and go.

Therefore, actual experimental samples were not shipped to Europe.

All Europeans see is a rough description of it.

Oral legends and inaccurate text descriptions and pictures in books could not make the Europeans who got the news fully understand its structure, so they had to re-create the seed drill.

As a result, European seed drills are based on very different principles from those in China, and this is precisely the case of "stimulative transmission," that is, the spread of a certain idea without necessarily accompanying the spread of structural details.

In this way, sixteenth and seventeenth century Europeans finally had their drills, but in terms of operating costs, it was only a disappointment.

my country's columbine cart had its prototype in the Warring States Period. Zhao Guo, an agronomist in the Han Dynasty, created a three-legged columbine that could sow three rows at the same time on the basis of the one-legged columbine and the two-legged columbine.

There will be no major changes in the principle of the future columbine, but the local components have been optimized and improved.

The optimized columbine carts in Europe in the [-]th century were still at the level of a single columbine, and it was gradually improved in the [-]th century.

Every family has advanced farm tools, which is the goal of China Heavy Industry to establish a farm tool factory.

These production tools, which improve production efficiency and reduce production time, increase the cultivated area per capita.

With a smaller population, more land can be cultivated, which ensures the agricultural foundation and provides impetus for the development of industrialization.

The columbine cart can sow various crops such as barley, wheat, soybean, and sorghum.

The three-legged columbine used by this family now has three ditch openers under it.

When sowing, a columbine cart is pulled by an ox, and the columbine feet are used to ditch and sow on the flat land, and at the same time cover and suppress.

The ancient seeding system in my country is at least ten times more efficient than the European system.

If converted into harvest volume, it would be thirty times that of Europe.

This was exactly the case over the 700 years during which our country was so much more advanced than the West in terms of agricultural productivity.

So much so that the only contrast between these two halves of the world can be seen, that is, our country is quite like what is called a "developed country" today, while the West is a "developing country".

It is a pity that the two civilizational retrogressions have caused the development of Chinese civilization to be stagnant and retrogressed, lagging behind the world.

While the two father and son were talking, the bean seeds were planted in one acre of field, and the next acre of field began.

"Big, I'm going to Golden State next month."

Women prepare meals at home.

The family sat at the table, the young man said suddenly.

"What are you doing in Jinzhou?"

"Go to Golden State for training."

The young man said indifferently.

"I won't let you go to war, right?" It's no secret that China Heavy Industries organizes military workers to go to Shixia Camp and Jinzhou for training every period in Beiping.

the woman asked worriedly.

"If you don't go to the nearby Shixia camp, how can you go to Jinzhou?" The little old man also said in a deep voice.

"I don't know, what about the list arranged by the Military-Industrial Joint Office?"

The woman looked at the little old man helplessly.

The little old man took a sip of his wine, but said nothing.

"I also saw a seven-leg columbine cart at the supply and marketing cooperative today, but I don't know if it works well. I will inquire about it in the spring of next year. If the evaluation is good, I will buy it for Chungeng and use it."

"It's hard to lose money, right?"

The old man scolded.

"It's easier for you, old man, to plant more acres than before. How could it be a waste of money?"

The old man stopped talking.

Back then, because of his stubbornness, he ignored the advice of his nephew and son and insisted not to join the honeycomb coal chamber of commerce.

Although the old man's mouth was tough, it actually had an impact, and he was no longer as stubborn as before.

"You are the only child in the family, you have to be clear about some things."

The old man finally said so.

"Big, don't worry, I'll save it, and it won't let our family lose the incense."

"Your mines are not good either. There are not many girls. It's so difficult to get married when you have money." The old man got angry again.

"It's the same with you silly woman. You don't try hard when you see other people's families have daughters, and you always get taken first by other people's families."

With the increase in productivity in Beiping, people began to have more money, and the status of women also rose.

in Shaanxi.

Li Bosheng also planned a marriage.

Zhu Di led a large army to patrol the border guards in Shaanxi. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the cooperation between the Military Household Economic Cooperative and the guards started smoothly.

One of them caught Zhu Di's eyes.

The imperial hussar general who guarded the Hexi Corridor for decades, the governor of the Chinese army's governor's office and the commander of the Shaanxi capital.

Butterfly wings flapped.

The two originally met in Hongwu 31 years ago, a full two years earlier.

The crucial two years.

If Zhu Di is the Dinghaishenzhen of Beiping, then Song Sheng is the Dinghaishenzhen of the Hexi Corridor.

This veteran who fought for the Ming Dynasty for decades, allowed the Ming Dynasty to firmly grasp the Western Regions, and quelled the Western Rebellion many times, was deeply trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang dared to abandon King Qin.

With this veteran guarding the Hexi Corridor, the prestige he has built up over the past few decades, no one in West Fan dares to make trouble, and Shaanxi will not lose.
