Sending away Zheng Zhibao's fleet, Shouhan was immediately buried by the swarm of various documents:

"The corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes planted in various mountains and dry fields have been harvested, and in addition to being used as supplementary varieties of grain, what should I do with the rest?"

"For the new areas of Hanoi, Quang Ninh, Chao Phraya River, Chai Stick, Nam Zhang, etc., please send agricultural instructors. At least 2,000 people who are familiar with the methods of farming and cultivating fish will be sent to carry out popularization and education, so as to spread the blessings of the lord to the four directions. ”

"As for the instructions on the whereabouts of primary school graduates in various places, it has been nearly ten years since the independent and open school education with teaching and non-class education, and tens of thousands of beneficiaries have benefited from it, and there are many people in my southern and central areas who are literate with more than 500 words. On that day, the lord asked for the selection of people for education in the primary school, and there were more than 4,000 people who had been studying for six years. ”

"Please build a large fortune ship......

Dozens of official documents, large and small, related to agriculture, technology extension, education, and student employment, as well as the shortage of shipbuilding and freight capacity.

The summary of the official document, which was refined and sorted out by the clerks of the General's Mansion according to the content of the official document, was placed on Shouhan's table, like a small mountain, and he was overwhelmed.

"Go and invite Master Li!"

Shouhan leaned back on the chair very irritably, and began to think about countermeasures, I can't go on like this anymore, I have to make up my mind and make decisions about everything, so that even Zhuge Liang will be exhausted to death. Besides, he wants to do his best to be a model of pure ministers in the world, Lao Tzu can't do it, Lao Tzu still has several wives who ask for love, and he wants to sow the seeds of rain and dew! You can't spend all your time and energy on these documents!

"Brother Zong, please come here just for these things!"

Seeing Li Peilin come in, Shouhan didn't even bother to get up, because they were too familiar with each other, and there was no need to do that set of false etiquette, Peilin found a position he was used to on weekdays and sat down, waiting for Shouhan's orders.

"At present, each agency has its own scope of responsibility, and its powers are very clear. However, there are some things that are beyond the scope of their respective powers and need to be coordinated by several families, so it is not good to be good at it, so you can only put forward your own opinions, and then report to the lord and ask the lord to adjudicate. ”

"It's easy to delay things! For example, in this case, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, soybeans, peanuts and other crops have been harvested in various places, but they still have to ask me how to deal with it, whether I should buy it, or do I have to come up with any new methods and new means to make something else? You must know that those are fresh crops, and if they are delayed for a long time, they will rot and easily hurt the farmers! ”

"Yes! The Lord taught us. When I returned, I rebuked them in the name of my lord. ”

"They can't be blamed entirely for this, they also acted according to the rules. Sect Brother, I invite you here, mainly because I want to discuss a way together to see how we can avoid similar things from happening in the future. ”

Nowadays, the territory of the Nanzhong Army is too big, almost equivalent to Huguang and Sichuan in the interior, fortunately, administrative offices and prefectures and counties at all levels have been established in various places, and some important military points are called battalions, otherwise, large and small affairs have to be sent to Shouhan to ask how to deal with them, and it is really easy to delay major events.

"I plan to upgrade the previous official lunch method and set up a public office, the personnel of the official room will be selected by you, Brother Zong, and reported to me for approval, after that, this official room can be operated, and you can put forward your own opinions and suggestions for similar matters, and after my approval, or the approval of the person I authorize, you can order it to be executed."

"Lord, this official room seems to be similar to the cabinet of my Ming court?" Li Peilin, who was familiar with the Ming bureaucracy, was very keen to discover the crux of the problem.

"It's still a big difference! The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty is the economic system of the imperial court, with a high position and power, and the first assistant of the cabinet is the prime minister of my Ming Dynasty. And this office is just an institution like my shogunate, a think tank! Judging from my Ming system, even if the standard is strict, this official room is purely a privately hired guest. ”

Shouhan only wants an institution such as the Military Aircraft Department and the Upper Study, which has no establishment or grade, and belongs to a private advisory agency, and he doesn't want to be held hostage by a monster like the cabinet in the future.

Soon, under Pei Lin's organization, the famous Heiyamen official office, known as the highest power decision-making body, began to prepare intensively.

It is said that the official office is a black yamen, and the reason is that the official office has no establishment in the first place, no grade in the second, no personnel quota in the third, and no budget in the fourth.

Although it is said that the problems in the future have been solved, there are several things in front of him, and Shouhan has to find a way to find a solution to it.

The first headache is the direction of processing and utilization of corn and other crops. Soybeans and peanuts are easy to use, and can be used to extract oil and make all kinds of food, but corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes are all newly introduced from the Americas, and even the earliest contact with the Spaniards is only more than 100 years old.

Thinking about it, it seems that in addition to carbonizing the corn stalks, it is used to replace the willow charcoal used to make gunpowder to reduce the cost of gunpowder manufacturing, and it seems that there are no other new methods.

Well? Vermicelli? The main ingredient in vermicelli is starch, what can starch do?

He grabbed his pen and worked the paperwork on what to do with corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other crops.

Soon, the corn stalks of the whole vehicle were sent to carbonization, and the charcoal powder obtained was sent to the gunpowder workshop, and the sulfur transported from Japan was obtained from the nitrification field to make gunpowder with excellent performance and low price.

Those sweet potatoes and potatoes were used to make zuò vermicelli and other foods, but far away in the Maple Ridge room in Ha Jing, they received an order to study how to refine the sugar in sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn.

Come and don't be rude!

The gentlemen in the real yàn room sent something that made Shouhan have more and more headaches!

"This is according to the guidance of the lord, we have transformed the Xiu'er machine with nine-turn steel, and all the important parts are refined with nine-turn steel."

The red silk used to cover the machine's samples was lifted, and Shouhan's eyes lit up, and the courtyard resounded with cheers.

The Xiu'er machine, which was originally made mainly of wood, seems to have been coated with tin again, and it sparkles in the August sun.

The teeth of the machine and the wooden combs were all replaced with nine-turn steel, the original eight spindles were modified and increased to twenty spindles, and the spindles of the machine were also drafted and a sliding frame was added. And, press the spindle on the carriage that can be rotated. When spinning, you only need to move the sliding frame back and forth, "adding this sliding frame only needs to use people, and you can push 300-400 spindles at the same time, and the spun yarn is exactly the same as that of Xiu'er machine." ”

The technician of the Maple Ridge room who sent the machine to the machine was very proud to introduce his machine.

"Have you ever experimented?" Shouhan is reluctant to believe in other people's text introductions, after all, the introduction texts of this era are too literary, what kind of one-shot erosion ten miles and so on. He still wants to believe the number he sees.

"I'd like to give a demonstration to the Lord!"

The technician took a ball of cotton and weighed it in public, "My lord, this ball of cotton is exactly one pound of the Spaniards, and if I measure it in Nanzhong, it is about one tael less than one catty!" Please indicate, do you make up for it? ”

"No need! Start spinning! ”

Several workers began to operate the machine in front of them in full view. In an instant, the white cotton was spun into a thin cotton yarn, "because the yarn was irregularly shaped, and the yarn surface had hairiness (short hairs of the fibers sticking out), and it was also limited by the precision of the calipers, so the subordinates could not find a way to express the fineness of the yarn, but could only prove it in other ways." ”

Soon, a pound of cotton was spun into a ball of thin cotton thread.

"Come on, bring a team of personal soldiers!"

Shouhan decided to measure the accuracy and technical level of this machine in public, so that these people can know what science and technology are the primary productive forces!

"Divide into two rows opposite each other, and count five hundred steps apart!"

Five hundred steps?! The civil and military officers present were all stunned, and the ordinary Franc machine and eight-pounder cannon could not necessarily have a range of 500 steps! Our lord, but he's been angry lately? Some people wondered if it was because the two aunts were pregnant, and the lord's energy had nowhere to vent? That's not right! The lord's back house, and at least three wives! Forget it, the matter of the palace is a big taboo, so let's look at the front first!

The white and delicate cotton thread was passed quickly in the hands of the soldiers, and in the hands of the two columns of men and horses lined up side by side, it was passed back and forth alternately, and soon, a ball of cotton thread came to an end.

"My lord, there are a total of thirty brothers who have cotton threads in their hands."

The officer of the pro-barracks reported the results of the measurements loudly.

Thirty men have a five-hundred-step stretch of cotton thread in their hands? If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, everyone would have thought it was a fantasy, but such a miracle really happened in front of your eyes!

"Congratulations! Another sharp weapon! ”

After a while, the people of the Han Yuan firm were the first to react, what is such a machine qì not a gold-absorbing weapon? I'm afraid that in the future, if you find a worker casually, as long as you are not too stupid or stupid, you can spin such fine cotton yarn! With fine threads, muslin can be woven! Compared with such fine lines, today's so-called muslin is a sack piece!

"Have you calculated the yield?"

After looking at the cotton yarn spun, Shouhan felt that the lesson for this group of subordinates was enough, and it was time to get to the point!

Yield! How much more can production be increased?!

"This, because the people we are looking for are all new, and it is not easy to compare with familiar hands, but if you rush to work day and night, and replace people without changing the machine, such an improved version of the machine is at most forty times that of the original Xiuer machine! If it's a skilled player, I'm afraid it's still a little more. ”

"However, there are also troubles with this machine. Because the main working parts are made of metal, especially the nine-turn steel, although the precision process is far from being comparable to that of wooden machinery, the standard requirements for maintenance are also much higher. We should note these in the maintenance manual: every five to seven days, a cure, the best oil for maintenance is tung oil from Guangxi. This is followed by animal oils such as fish oil. Otherwise, it will affect the life of the machine and the accuracy of work. ”

However, a cadre of civil and military officers can no longer care about listening to this, and they have fallen into a crazy imagination of a bright future: one such machine is worth the previous forty machines, so wouldn't it be that the output and quality of cotton cloth in our southern and central army will be greatly improved? The yield is at least forty times higher, the quality, hehe! I'm afraid that Songjiang muslin will also bow down! The output of cotton cloth has increased, and the export of dyed cloth is naturally rising!

In this way, will everyone's shares in Hanyuan firm be more dividends? Will it be several times more than before?!

"Don't make any noise! As a big member, when they encounter some things, they are so noisy, what kind of system! ”

Seeing Li Shouhan with an uncertain face, Li Peilin reprimanded him in a timely manner, and suddenly, the courtyard that was as lively as a vegetable market suddenly quieted down.

"We can't build more of this kind of machine at the moment, at most we can make twenty parts, and the things produced are also supplied to us for our own use first, and if there is a surplus, we will sell them for export."

"Have you ever thought about it, one machine can be worth the previous forty units, in other words, the kapok needed is also forty times more, and Nanzhong cannot produce cotton, so it can only be imported from outside! However, even if Ye Qi, Jiang Chun, and Zheng Zhilong are desperately procuring for us, can they meet such a huge demand? To build such a machine, at most three or five days, but the planting of cotton is at least half a year, and we have to calculate the time cost of processing and transportation. ”

When everyone boarded, it was as if they had separated the eight top yang bones and poured a bucket of ice and snow. The warm and noisy atmosphere of Fang Cai suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Okay, that's all for today, who can solve the problem of cotton, can come to see me at any time, even if I'm making out with my wife in bed!"

Shouhan's words triggered a burst of laughter from the people present.

"You stay for a while."

The technician who sent the new textile machine was left by Shouhan for questioning.

"Has this machine been named?"

"Back to my lord. Several gentlemen argued, everyone disagreed, and the quarrel was fierce, and finally the students asked the lord for instructions, what should it be called? ”

"What's the opinion?"

"Some gentlemen said that it should be called the original name, and Xiu'er Ji is very good. Some gentlemen also said that this machine is no longer the other machine, whether it is from the manufacturing process, to the efficacy of the machine is not the same, so the name Xiu'er machine is inappropriate. ”

"What do you say is the name of this machine?"

"On the way to the student, I saw someone on the road driving the fruit horse-drawn cart, although the fruit was smaller, but it was very practical, more than 1,000 pounds of vehicles pulled on the road is still walking fast, the meaning of the student, if the lord asked the student's humble opinion, the student was interested in naming him the fruit horse. Take its hard-working and huge output meaning! ”

Ha ha! In the history of industry, the famous mule machine has become a fruit dismount! But that's fine! Shouhan laughed smugly in his heart.

"Go back and tell the gentlemen, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., after brewing, you can distill again, and the resulting things will be sent to the health camp to be tried by the wounded wounds!"

"It's a thin cotton thread, but it can hang the whole world!" Shouhan sat in the study by himself, stroking the ball of cotton thread very proudly, with an intoxicated expression on his face, as if he was caressing the tender skin of a certain beauty.

"Someone! Go see Mrs. Four! ”

Fiddling with the cotton thread for a while, Shouhan couldn't help but feel a burst of impulse, just wanted to find a muddy flower path in his mind, wantonly impacted, shouted at the guards on duty outside the door, and the group went to the room of the fourth aunt Taili Muhua.

I have collected more than 4,000, thank you for your support and encouragement.
