Chapter 520: Steam Tractor

"The lowly sailor inspector has seen the king of Shu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "When Chen Qi heard that the King of Shu was coming, he hurriedly got off the boat and returned to the Admiral's Mansion to meet him.

Chen Qi had just arrived at the Star Fleet, and it was the first time he saw such a huge fleet, which was very novel, and he went to inspect the ship every day. In addition to his personal preferences, Chen Qi also figured out the establishment of the Star Fleet by the way. He is the supervisor of Zhu Ding's placement in the Star Fleet, the eightfold realm, and wears a famous sword "Qinglian".

"No need to be polite, how about this star fleet?" Ji Yang asked with a smile, not at all annoyed that the imperial court had not asked about the canonization of the fleet.

Seeing that he was so calm, Chen Qi couldn't help but glance at him, and replied respectfully: "Back to the prince, the humble post was originally the commander of the Chaohu Water Division, and the Chaohu Water Division was established by Ming Taizu, and there are more than 1,000 large and small warships. However, there is not a single battleship as large as the Star Fleet, and the artillery equipped on it is far less powerful than the Tiger God Cannon. ”

"Now it should be called Nanyang Sailor, or if you want to lift the ban on Nanyang." Ji Yang said.

"The lowly office thinks so, too." Chen Qi couldn't understand Ji Yang's thoughts, so he could only echo his words.

The command was taken away by the imperial court with the merit of canonization, and he was not angry at all, Chen Qi secretly admired. In the case of such a large fleet as him, he was robbed, and he jumped to his feet angrily, but Ji Yang was indifferent.

Nominally, Ji Yang can no longer meddle in the affairs of the Nanyang Naval Division, and the supreme commander is Bu Jingyun. Zhu Ding thought that in a few years, his disciples would gradually centrifuge and slowly join the imperial court.

"In addition to Nanyang, I am now more concerned about the expansion of Jizhou, and I don't know what the emperor thinks." Ji Yang asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"Don't you know, the emperor gave the Admiral full power, as long as the Nanyang Navy can manage the Nanyang well, if you have spare power, you can act cheaply. Of course, if you really want to pay Houjin, it is best to report to the court first. Chen Qi replied.

"Give Jingyun full power, the emperor is quite relieved." Ji Yang said with a smile.

Chen Qi also smiled, he felt that Ji Yang was a little yin and yang.

Ji Yang thought in his heart, since the emperor gave Bu Jingyun full power, Bu Jingyun didn't want to listen to him and act according to his plan. So the plan to expand the Northeast region and build a granary will not stop, so he can rest assured.

"Jingyun, since the emperor trusts you so much, this northeast will be handed over to you." Ji Yang said.

"Yes, master." Bu Jingyun is still very cold.

Ji Yang didn't stay long, and teleported back to the Shu Palace, where he continued to preside over farming.

Fortunately, the steel mill and cannon foundry of the Star Sect are in SC and North Korea respectively, SC is his territory, and the emperor can't control it, and North Korea is another country, and the emperor can't control it. In this way, although the emperor "won" the Star Fleet by means of canonization, he still has to rely on the Star Workshop for cannon building and ammunition.

It was spring April, and the spread of new crops was in full swing throughout the SC.

In order to avoid the disobedience of the yin and yang below, Ji Yang ordered Zhuo Zhuo to select 5,000 guards and go to each county seat to supervise the cultivation. No one dared to disobey the majesty of the King of Shu, but what gave Ji Yang a headache was that the population of SC was pitiful, with only more than five million people.

About half of these more than 5 million people are ethnic minorities, living in Tibetan areas and in the mountains and forests. Tibetan areas are basically not engaged in farming, and there is little agricultural area in the mountains and forests, so although the agricultural area of SC is large, most of it is undeveloped.

"The tools are still too backward, and instead of casting more powerful artillery, you have to invent a steam tractor first." After Ji Yang made a decision, he immediately sent it to Chief Engineer Yang.

Chief Engineer Yang was developing a more efficient steam engine, and Ji Yang didn't know that he was next to him.

It wasn't until an assistant found Ji Yang and reminded Chief Engineer Yang that they hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the prince in my humble position." Although Ji Yang's process of sealing the king is low-key, where can this kind of thing be stopped, it has gradually spread, and Ji Yang's subordinates will naturally know it quickly.

"Chief Engineer Yang, I urgently need a steam car that can cultivate land, and I hope you can develop it as soon as possible." Ji Yang said.

"Steam car? It was a car powered by a steam engine, similar to an ox-cart or horse-drawn cart. Chief Engineer Yang reacted and was very interested.

"Yes, now that I am the king of Shu, the first thing I need to do is to cultivate a large number of fertile land, and it is far from enough to rely on cattle to cultivate labor. The wheels of such a steam car could be made of steel, and in order to fit the field, the wheels behind it were several times wider and several times larger, and four or five climbing plows were attached to the back of the car. Ji Yang roughly described the appearance of the tractor to them.

"I understand that I will immediately arrange for people to start development." Mr. Yang knows the importance of farming.

This year, it is not possible to catch up with the tractor, and after Ji Yang handed over the task to Chief Engineer Yang, he planned to organize the ethnic minorities of SC to farm.

So he issued an impromptu decree to hire ethnic minorities who were not engaged in farming to clear the land. The salary is calculated according to the acres of land cultivated, and one or two silver is counted for one acre of land, and potatoes can be planted twice a year, so I am not afraid of missing the sowing time.

As long as they survive this year, with the ability of the Star Workshop, Ji Yang said that they need to use it urgently, Wu Kun will definitely give them more instructions, or directly teach them to make tractors, and they will definitely be able to use them next year.

No matter how many fields are cultivated, as soon as the steam tractor comes out, there is no fear of no one to manage it.

"Lord Wang, if you reclaim ten acres of land for one tael of silver, wouldn't this 100,000 acres of land cost 10,000 taels of silver, and the court will not come out of it. What's more, there is a shortage of manpower below, even if it is reclaimed this year, where to find so many people next year, will it not be wasted. "When Yan Ting learned that Ji Yang had issued a new decree, he immediately came to the palace to meet him and tried to persuade him to withdraw the decree.

"You don't have to worry about this, I will pay the money, and all the fields reclaimed will belong to the palace." Ji Yang said.

"If you pay, then it's no problem, it's just that after they leave, where will you find so many people to manage." Yan Ting was puzzled.

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way." Ji Yang said.

"In that case, then I'll do it." Yan Ting said.

"Go ahead, and proclaim it truthfully." Ji Yang said.

Yan Ting left with doubts, he couldn't figure out what Ji Yang wanted. Spending money on the cultivation of the fields is indeed a good way, and as soon as the decree is issued, the poor and displaced people in all parts of the SC, as well as those who hide in the mountains and even graze in the grasslands, will flock to it.

I'm afraid that too many fields will be reclaimed, no one will manage them, and the next year they will be abandoned again.

Ji Yang is rich, don't say 100,000 taels, he can afford 10 million taels. The Star Fleet went to the South Seas to trade, collect sea trade taxes, and plundered some countries, Ji Yang is really rich and rival countries.

"Ten acres of grain can earn more than one or two pieces of silver, if you make grain into wine." Ji Yang naturally will not trade at a loss.
