Chapter 190: Development Starts with the Foundation
Under the advice and reform of the potters, the administrative office of Danyang County was moved to Moling County and officially renamed Jinling City.
Of course, perhaps one day in the future, this place will be named Nanjing, which depends on the strategy and strength of the potters.
Now that the county has been governed, the next step is to start developing step by step!
In terms of military affairs, the pottery merchants are not willing to take care of the training of soldiers and horses for the time being.
There are Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Tao Ji and other training bigwigs who are here to preside, and they can pull one out at random, which is stronger than the potter, and the potter is not willing to worry about the training.
Pull a group of ancient men to the square, let them stand in a military posture, run long-distance running with weights to practice physical fitness, and high-intensity anaerobic training...... The potter thought about it.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to train some modern special forces...... Big brother, do you have ketogenic diet recipes to maintain ketogenic fitness and Abbott test strips to regularly test your physical functioning status?
If you want to complete the Navy SEALs, to put it mildly, you can't afford beef!
Ancient soldiers, just use the training methods of ancient soldiers to practice well, don't pull useless calves.
The main thing that the potters need to do now is to figure out how to increase the population base of Jinling City, expand the Chengguo facilities of Jinling City, develop the economy in the city, increase GDP, strengthen tax revenue, and use the local natural resources to enrich their treasury and make the city truly rich.
Fighting wars and wars, one dozen people, two dozen food, three dozen iron, and four dozen money.
No population, no food, no weapons, no economy...... Also make a poop.
According to the requirements of the pottery merchants, Han Hao led more than 80,000 remnants of the Baibo army to register and implement Tuntian.
In this regard, the potter felt that there was no problem in handing it over to Han Hao, according to the potter's self-inference, in this era, in addition to the jujube, the potter felt that Han Hao's ability in Tuntian should be the most worthy of scrutiny.
This is also the reason why he regards Han Hao as a treasure...... In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, no matter how many celebrities there were, it was the real treasure who could help them solve the problem of eating in the short term first.
Of course, this is only the first step in the development of potters.
The implementation of the tuntian system is just following Cao Cao's old path, at most, it is just to make the county's food enough to use, but in order to achieve no worries about food and clothing, and to have more than enough every year, more refined technology and policy development are still needed.
It was at this time that Chen Deng finally came to Jinling City as promised.
Hearing that the potter had changed the name of the office, Chen Deng was not surprised.
As long as the city can be developed well, it doesn't matter what it is called, let alone Jinling, it doesn't matter if you change it to the Dead Tomb.
When he came this time, he was mainly looking forward to the "enriching the people and strengthening the army" that the potters discussed with him last time.
In the last conversation, some of the potter's thoughts made Chen Deng feel excited, but he didn't finish his words.
This time, Chen Deng first told Chen Qi, and then agreed to be appointed by Tao Qian to come specifically to realize his ambition with the potter.
On the first day of Chen Deng's appointment, the potters worshipped him as the lieutenant of the county's agricultural school, assisted him in economic development, and talked with him at night.
……
……
"You said that at the junction of Jinling City and Wuhu County, there is a huge iron mine?"
Chen Deng was confused by the information told to him by the potter, and he had no idea how the potter knew about it.
The potter nodded, led Chen Deng to the side of the leather map hanging in the hall, sketched it again and again with his own memory, and said, "It is roughly in this position, located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. ”
Chen Deng frowned and sighed: "Even if you are so little, this area is not small, even if I can summon the iron diggers to investigate, but I am afraid that it is not easy to find." ”
The potter hurriedly said: "You can rest assured, this mine is definitely not small, it belongs to the symbiosis of iron ore and copper ore, when it is related to the historical invasion of the volcano, there will be some volcanic legacy characteristics in appearance, and this belongs to a mining belt, the area is very vast, if there is a targeted target to search, it should not be difficult to find." ”
Chen Deng touched his chin and pondered for a while, and said, "Since this is the case, then I'll try, but Chen doesn't guarantee that it will be successful." ”
The potter shook his head vigorously and said, "That's not good, you must succeed!" If we really find it, we can slowly organize manpower mining, as long as we are willing to dig deep and have enough manpower, not to mention a Danyang County, that is, the supply and demand of iron in Xuzhou or the entire Han Dynasty, we can meet it. ”
Chen Deng's mouth opened wide in surprise when he heard this, and he said curiously: "How did you know about this, Fujun?" ”
The potter raised an eyebrow and did not speak.
He couldn't tell Chen Deng that this was one of the seven major mining areas in the future, with a total storage capacity of hundreds of millions of tons.
Of course, even if there is no technology to mine deep in this era, it is estimated that iron and copper mining at the surface and at shallow levels should be sufficient for the current situation.
The value of copper and iron in this era far exceeded that of later generations of ore and oil.
Moreover, the demand for copper and iron in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was not much, not every family could afford to use a lot, so the annual output of the entire Han Dynasty could be more? Compared with the future generations, it is drizzling.
One mine belt, enough is enough!
Ignoring Chen Deng's inquiry, the potter continued: "Actually, I also know of a nearby salt mine......
Chen Deng was shocked when he heard this: "What? Salt! Where is it? ”
The potter said quietly: "It's not very far from us, near Huaipu in Guangling, there is a salt mine that can be called the largest salt mine in our whole Han Dynasty, but if it is dominated by us, there may be some differences with Zhenrong, what do you think about this?" ”
Chen Deng smiled when he heard this, and admonished: "Zhen Rong is the prime minister of the next pi, he has not obeyed the decree of the assassin history, and he is a party of his own, such a person should have been cleaned up a long time ago, if there is really such a treasure land in its territory, let's report to Tao Envoy Jun first, and then send troops to occupy it, what's wrong?" If Zhen Rong dares to rob him, there are 40,000 soldiers under the son's account, and he will kill him for Tao Envoy, which is also justified. ”
The potter liked Chen Deng's domineering personality very much, and he did not retreat from snatching food...... It's really late to see each other!
"Yuanlong is really a bold person, with your words, I am relieved. I'll tell you the specific location roughly, you let it go, if Zhen Rong dares to covet it, I will let Xu Huang lead the troops to cut him. ”
Chen Deng was a little excited by what the potter said at this moment, if the huge iron ore and salt mine in the potter's mouth were really true......
Then the development of Jinling City has these two industries as an arm, and it is really not impossible to develop into the first city in the world.
Chen Deng pondered for a while and raised a question: "Fujun, since ancient times, our dynasty has mainly made salt from sea salt, and the refining methods of dry salt are quite immature, even if it is mined, I am afraid of ......."
"Don't worry!"
The potter turned around and took out a few scrolls from the bookshelf, turned around and handed them to Chen Deng, and said, "You can go back and refer to this, and order the salt brewing craftsman to improve it, try it, and it should have an effect." ”
Chen Deng unfolded the slip in confusion, but saw that the beginning of it was impressively written: "General rules and techniques for low-salt solid-state brewing process." ”
"What's this?" Chen Deng's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked up at the potter suspiciously: "This thing, was it written by the prince?" ”
The potter nodded vigorously.
In my previous life, I was a bookmaker, and I read it, and I will remember it to some extent.
Chen Deng looked at it suspiciously, and his Adam's apple couldn't help swallowing and rolling, and said in admiration: "Fujun is really an all-rounder, even this can be drummed out, and his subordinates are deeply admired." ”
The potter smiled and said: "I am ready for everything now, I only owe a high-ranking talent to open up the territory for me, and vigorously rectify the economic and internal affairs of Jinling City, now with Yuanlong, everything will fall into place, you can do it according to what I said!" Starting with the salt mine and iron mine, with these two industries as the foundation, it is definitely not a problem for Jinling City to prosper. ”
Chen Deng nodded when he heard this, and said, "This is the case, but there is a problem under his subordinates that needs to be solved by the prince of the government." ”
The potter smiled when he heard this: "You say." ”
Chen Deng hesitated for a moment and said: "If the salt and iron resources are prosperous, one can strengthen the army, and the other can be rich, but the mining project is huge, and our six counties in Xuzhou are different from Qingzhou and Jizhou, and they have always been a salt and iron franchise, so it will definitely require a large number of people to invest, and at present, the people in my county must cooperate with Tuntian, reclaim the land, and expand grain production. ”
The potter smiled and said, "You are asking this question very well, I like it!" But in fact, you are wrong, Tao is not in a hurry to reclaim, but there are other ways to expand grain production. ”
At this point, the potter turned to the bookshelf and took down a bunch of slips.
Chen Deng looked at a large handful of slips in the potter's hand, and couldn't help but stare at the round.
"Fujun, how can you write?"
The potter sighed, shook his head and sighed: "No way, if you don't write, someone will urge you." ”
After that, he put those slips in front of Chen Deng, and said with a smile: "You can see for yourself." ”
Chen Deng opened a scroll of the slip in confusion and read it word by word: "Qi Min wants to be skilled? ”
"The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration?"
"Agricultural books?"
The potter nodded, and said: "The water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River are conducive to planting rice, if the spell is done properly, the yield can be called the best in the world, these slips, which are recorded for what kind of land, when to grow grain, and how to increase the yield of the gist, the key part, I have used a thin coil out, you are the captain of the agricultural school, how to popularize it in the county, that is your business, I don't interfere!" Do whatever you want! ”
Chen Deng swallowed a mouthful of spit gently, and his heart couldn't help beating wildly.
This Prince of the Peace...... Is the current performance too worthy of the name?
He really wants to make this Danyang County a peaceful and prosperous world.
"That's not all!" The potter suddenly laughed and said, "And! ”
"And?" Chen Deng almost didn't fall to the ground when he heard this: "Tao Fujun, you are busy with Chen, can I handle so many things you have to do?" ”
The potter smiled slightly and said, "It's really interesting, I didn't say that you should carry it all alone, what helpers do you need, you mention it to me!" ”
