(It's a little late, and the promised plus is rushing.) Continued support. Also, there is a paragraph of description that borrows from a famous book, so let's look for it. Lest someone say I'm plagiarizing. Hey! ）

"Rank, even if we have to ensure the agricultural tools needed everywhere, the swords and guns of the reclamation people, but why haven't the warships needed by my sailors been launched for a long time? In the days since the two new ships were purchased, has a new ship been launched? Also, why is there a thousand catties of nine-turn steel used to cast artillery every day in Taiping Cave, but no artillery has ever been made? I have many lucky ships and sand ships, and there are still many vacancies in gun positions! ”

"Lord Zuo, these things you said, the old man came to sue you." Wang Quan, who was in charge of shipbuilding, was hoarse, and he could see that the two lucky ships that were wrecked due to a typhoon not long ago had caused him a lot of trouble.

"Feng is in charge of the manufacture of equipment, and those steels, according to the instructions of the adults, are used for the test of artillery and muskets, and when they are cast, they will be used to test the various values explained by the adults, such as chamber pressure, range, accuracy, etc., and the gunpowder used to consume every day is not less than 100 catties. What you do is that you are able to use it handy. In addition to those Franc machines, tiger squat cannons, and Hongyi cannons, according to the design of the adults, they also had to engage in the trial production of rocket artillery, but, "Wang Quan bowed to the Shouhan, "the subordinates are so reckless, and so far they have not fully understood the exquisite design of the adults, and a lot of steel money and food have been consumed!" ”

Wang Quan's relationship with the sailor is extraordinary, and he is an elder, as soon as he opened his mouth, Zuo Tianpeng was embarrassed, but he kept muttering, "Those discarded artillery can also be used to cast farm tools!" ”

"Lord Zuo, the scrapped artillery, we have not waited for a wave, as of yesterday, the 1,000 catties of steel per day, except for a part of the loss during casting, are used for real firearms, and all of them are returned to the furnace to make steel farm tools. Most of the so-called nine-turn steel farm tools sold to outsiders on the market today are made of this thing and pig iron. Then, we used these farm tools to exchange a large amount of timber with the natives, piled them up in the sawmill, and after he dried them, we will give you a shipbuilder for the sailors! ”

Shouhan watched the heated discussion among his subordinates, and smiled bitterly in his heart, "This is probably a matter of how to choose the direction of investment with limited industrial resources." Whether it is for the national economy, or for military construction. He sat on the chair of the Huanghuali official hat and meditated for a while.

"That's it! Don't fight! ”

As soon as Shouhan spoke, more than a dozen people in the spacious conference hall who were still arguing suddenly quieted down.

The only way to solve this problem seems to be to expand steel production.

"Master Zhang, what's the situation over there in Tieshanzhai? Can it also increase ore production? ”

Zhang Yutian, the official of the hundred households at that time, is now the director of the Tieshanzhai Mining Farm, responsible for the mining, beneficiation, transportation and many other affairs of this iron mine.

After thinking silently in his heart, Zhang Yutian shook his head and stood up, "Lord Yu, now there are nearly 1,000 officials and slaves in Tieshanzhai, more than 300 guards and stewards and other miscellaneous personnel, 347 mules, horses and livestock, and 65 large and small vehicles. The daily supply of more than 20,000 catties of iron ore to the smelter is already stretched, and it is really impossible to add more. ”

"The subordinates are incompetent! If you miss a big thing, please punish you! Zhang Yutian slammed his head on the ground, and a muffled sound came from the ground.

Looking at the gray and sparse hair under Zhang Yutian's headscarf, Shouhan's throat was a little tight, and he hurriedly got up and helped Zhang Yutian who was kneeling on the ground up, "Uncle Yutian," he used a very affectionate title, "Why is this so?" ”

"Subordinates are incompetent, and they can't share their worries for adults."

There was a hula, and all the dozen or so people present fell to their knees.

Shouhan was too lazy to mix them one by one, "Get up!" We will not pursue any of the culpables today, but will only discuss how to solve them. Well, it's a coordination meeting of all parties! ”

As a result, the atmosphere in the chamber was once again lively.

Starting from the demand, "if we want to meet the needs of Tunpu villages on land and water, the volume of foreign trade and the monthly steel output will be at least doubled." ”

"To meet such steel production, iron ore needs to be at least three times more than enough."

"I can get such a large amount of ore unless I am given more manpower and livestock. Otherwise, Lao Zhang is full of hands, and he will not be able to dig up that many ores. ”

Finding out what the problem was, people's feelings immediately rose even higher.

"Master Zhang, if I give you additional manpower, can you meet the needs of the iron factory?" Shouhan's love xù is also good.

"Well, as long as I add 2,000 people and 300 cattle to my old man, and 50 carts, my old man will pat his chest. If there is a shortage of one pound or two of these ores, fill me into the furnace! ”

"Hehe, even if Brother Zhang Cheng is going to fight with me." Shouhan made a joke to the head of the house, who was sitting next to him.

Seeing that Zhang Cheng, who was in charge of the population, money, grain, land and other matters, stood up, straightened the straight jacket on his body, and bowed down to the Shouhan.

"I am a quiet garrison in Hejing, and since the adults took over, they have captured Miao Yao and other natives, the old, the weak, and the young within 80,000. Nearly half of them are young and strong. They were all official slaves and worked everywhere. ”

Hearing that there was such a large number of laborers, everyone present was happy to smile.

"Hey! Then just assign 2,000 people to Lao Zhang! Feng Mofeng slapped his thigh violently.

"But," Zhang Cheng changed his words, "My lord, rank, Rong will tell you the distribution of these manpower one by one." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the heads of all the people in the seat drooped down again.

Lumber yards, shipyards, ash yards (i.e., cement manufacturing sites) alone account for nearly 10,000 people. Similarly, Yongchang Fort in Jiangbei, as the southernmost fortress of Ha Jing, is also in full swing under construction, and there are thousands of people working there around the clock.

Similarly, in several villages and towns around Ha Tinh, due to the increase in population and economic development, houses and fortresses have been built one after another.

Moreover, the roads between these towns and Ha Jing are also under intense construction, and according to Shouhan's idea on the day, it is better to build a burnt ash pavement. After doing the math, today's soil cement is really unable to meet the demand, so it is temporarily hardened pavement, and then upgraded after the production capacity is reached.

It seems that everything cannot be let go of everywhere, and everything is important. However, there are so many resources for yourself. How is this good? The people present, including Shouhan, fell into deep thought.

"Can we transfer those old and weak officials and slaves, and exchange them for two thousand young and strong people?"

"These tens of thousands of old and weak women and children are all working in such places as clearing wasteland, raising fish, repairing canals, salt farms, paving roads, building houses, etc., even if 2,000 people can be adjusted to grow out, it is only a drop in the bucket. Don't forget, the masonry of the iron-making furnace and the iron-making also require a large number of laborers, and there are 2,000 people here, and the ironworks need 2,000 people, where can I find them? ”

Only then did people realize that they were dealing with a chain, not just a thing.

"So be it!" In the end, it was Li Shouhan who made the decision.

"1. Among the people who have cleared the wasteland everywhere, select 5,000 to 6,000 of the more sturdy ones, well, healthy women, and tell them to go to work in the iron cottage or in the iron-smelting factory, do a good job, have a salary, and in the future, they can become the people of my Hejing, and they will no longer be official slaves. In addition, from the government treasury, an additional 500 catties of gunpowder were allocated to the Tieshanzhai mine every month for blasting up the mountain and opening the mine. ”

"2. Zhang Cheng, in the name of the General's Mansion, issued a document to inform all places, including distant villages that have not been attached, and those who are willing to work during the winter leisure period should go to the various security offices to sign up. The official pays money and food on a monthly basis. ”

"Third, the artillery of the naval division and the army battalion, let me think again, and see what can be replaced. Director Feng, the rocket artillery I told you last time, stop for the time being! Test other artillery first. ”

"Fourth, from today onwards, all affairs in the house, involving the use of people and money, and the start of construction, will be reported to me, and after the convening is over, we will make a decision!"

"My lord, it's easy to talk about other things, but it's just a matter of hiring money and food,......

"What? Didn't the autumn grain just be handed over everywhere? Is there no money or food in the treasury? Fu Bo was a little confused, he looked at the Zhang Cheng in front of him with some annoyance, this bastard boy, what's wrong today, Shouhan said something, and he said.

"Your Excellency, it's not that there is no money and food, but there are too many places to use money at the moment."

Zhang Cheng also had the courage to do so today, and simply explained the current revenue and expenditure of the treasury one by one.

"At present, the construction matters in various places, the rations of the reclamation people, farm tools, ploughing cattle, the rations of the officials and slaves, and the adults want to build the official farms, according to the methods of the adults, they need to buy millet, corn, soybeans and other miscellaneous grains. Also, buy a large quantity of wheat. These can only be purchased with large quantities of money and grain. In addition, the adults had to replace the soft sails of the ships, and they had to buy a large amount of cotton and cloth for this expense. Also, the construction of farms and artificial ...... Woooooo ”

Several people hurriedly blocked Zhang Cheng's mouth, because Shouhan's face had become extremely ugly.

The consequences of this meeting were far-reaching beyond the imagination of the participants. It led to the birth of several systems on Li Shouhan's territory: the system of budget and final accounts, and the system of project demonstration and approval.

However, at this moment, Shouhan didn't care about this, he locked himself in the study like a beast, roared and shouted, and frightened the whole mansion like a barren mountain and an ancient temple, lest a little sound provoke him.

I've yelled, scolded, and smashed. The helpless guards still have to sit in front of their bookcases and think about how to deal with the embarrassing situation in front of them that they can't stop and have no way in.

It seems that the matter of money and food, the matter of population and labor, is easier to handle, as long as some construction projects are stopped first and some of the labor force that has been reclaimed can be alleviated.

But what do I use to conjure up the guns that I want everywhere? What would I do without steel? Originally, it was planned to make rocket artillery, but after many tests, the rocket artillery just couldn't be launched normally!

Rocket artillery, rocket artillery, rocket, rocket? Well?! Rocket!!

Shouhan jumped up, how did I forget this thing?! Damn it!

Ten days later, good news came from Taiping Cave, after more than 100 launch tests, the two kinds of rockets filled with fierce fire oil and gunpowder completely met the standards mentioned by adults.

After the 15th, the gunboats of the Xuanwu Battalion, the Qilin Battalion, and the Phoenix Battalion attacked in many ways and attacked the big and small heroes, bandits and pirates entrenched in the vicinity. In the face of dense artillery fire, there was hardly a single general. A large number of captured people, money and food were sent to the places where they were urgently needed, relieving the urgent need of the Shouhan.

However, in Shouhan's view, these are not the fundamental solutions to the problem.

"The seventh day of the eleventh month of the forty-eighth year of Wanli." Shouhan nodded a little fiercely on the yellow calendar. Another day, seeing that the sun was already in the west, the paper in front of him was already a mess smeared by him, but there was no clue at all.

Why do others cross over, just like God, "If there are people, there will be millions of people at once." If you want to be rich, you will immediately have a sea of gold and silver. There must be all kinds of machinery and all kinds of technology, and there will be scientific and technological achievements that surpass the times for hundreds of years. However, why am I so hard to build a water-powered loom or Jenny machine?! ”

While scolding his stomach, Shouhan put the pen in his hand on the pen holder, stretched his waist, and tried to relax himself. At this moment, from outside the house, there was a faint noise.

The sound is getting closer and louder.

"Bang dang!"

The door of the study was rudely slammed open, and Zheng Anhua, the officer of the Guards Battalion who was on duty in the mansion today, staggered in.

"Your Excellency!"

"What to do?!" Shouhan was frightened at first, and then he was a little annoyed, even if there was a big thing, why should he be panicked to such a state?

"Boat! Boat! Our ship! On the docks! ”

Zheng Anhua was probably in a hurry, and he was out of breath. He kept pointing to the avenue leading to Hongji Port outside the mansion.

On the dock, two lucky ships that had been missing for several months were docked there in great shape, and the sailors on board were bragging about their experiences to familiar people on the docks.

"When the wind picked up, I was at the helm at the stern, and the sentry came up and said, 'Old Huang, what the fuck are you seeing those clouds rising over there?' I was looking at the clouds myself. I see that they are rising too fast, not like for no reason, I don't think that is a good sign, otherwise it would not be so dark. ''I see it the same way,' said the captain, 'and I'll take precautions first.''' We have too many sails. Feed! All of you come to Songsail! Pull down the spinnaker! As soon as the order was given, the wind caught up with us, and the ship began to tilt. 'Lose the horse! The sentinel said, 'Our sails are still too much, all of us are here to drop the sails!' Five minutes later, the sail was down, and we had to pull the tail sail and the upper mast. Thanks to the soft sails at that time, if it was still the hard sail of the day, I am afraid that we will be blown to the Antarctic Immortal Mansion by the wind, it is not certain! ”

"And where have you been blown to?" The wives and children who rushed to hear the news were red-eyed, curious and surprised.

"The wind was blowing to and fro, and at first we couldn't tell the direction, but I thought it was a west wind blowing all the way to the east. Dog's day, when we feel that the wind is a little lighter, the Chenguang that the ship can control has already arrived in the Ryukyus! ”
