Chapter 359: The years are quiet

Sun Chuanting was thrown to Liaodong in this way......

He'll do what needs to be done.

From the original historical performance, it can be determined that this is a cunning, black-bellied, and will never be soft when he kills, and he also knows how to appease the generals, but he dares to attack the gentry when he is in a hurry, in short, he is a ruthless character who will not hesitate to do it when he feels the need to do it.

He knew better than Yang Xin how to act in Liaodong.

All he wanted was for Yang Xin to give him a knife, and at first he thought that Yang Xin should have specially told Cao Wenzhao and Zhao Shujiao and others to let the army of these two people kill and suppress him when necessary, but it would be a surprise to give him the new army as well. This new army is regarded as the hope of the Ming Dynasty to revive the forbidden army, both the government and the opposition and even the emperor have high hopes for these 20,000 people, especially this new army is still a civilian commander, Sun Yuanhua was born, that is also a member of the civil official, a member of the Jiangnan family.

In short, he is very satisfied with this.

All that's left is to see if he dares to let go and kill people.

And Yang Dudu next prepares for his wedding......

Actually, there is nothing to prepare.

Yang Dudu is an honest and honest and thrifty person, so far there is a small courtyard in the capital, it can be said that there is no money to spare, and he can't find more than 5,000 taels of silver in his small courtyard, and he never pays attention to luxury, and even there are few slaves......

Well, at least on the surface.

In short, how could an official like Yang Dudu have a luxurious wedding.

And Fang Congzhe also disagreed, Fang Shoufu is also honest and honest, and he must take the lead in not engaging in luxury in the current situation of continuous disasters in various places.

So in this way, on an ordinary day, after an ordinary wedding, Fang Tinglan, who had already rolled into an old husband and wife with Yang Dudu in bed, officially became Mrs. Yang and became the mistress of his three-entry small house. Then less than half a month after getting married, Yang Dudu openly accepted concubines, and then put Huang Ying, whose official identity has become a widow, into the back house, plus the previous Xiao Meow, and the Wan'er brought back this time, Yang Dudu also lived a rotten life of one wife and three concubines.

Similarly, Yang Dudu's wealth swelled suddenly.

Because Mrs. Yang brought back all the assets that were previously in the Fang family's name.

A money village that has completed most of the Ming Dynasty layout, the farthest semicolon has been opened to Chengdu, and the entire money village has nearly 10 million taels of silver, but these silver are not in the capital, but stored in the fortress fortress in the new city. A business that has also completed most of the Ming Dynasty layout, the business scope is all-encompassing, in fact, it is relying on each other with the money village, looting money in various places, and the largest business at present is grain, trafficking grain from Sichuan to the north.

concurrently engaged in other things made by Yang Xin,

Even farming.

These firms hired people to reclaim the land in the locality, and then planted sweet potatoes to make wine, and then sold the brewed wine on the spot, even including grinding the dried sweet potatoes into flour and selling them directly, anyway, with the Fang family and Yang Xin as the backers, these businesses are still very powerful in the localities, especially in the north. Yang Xin's goal is to continue to cultivate land in various places, especially those places where there is a shortage of drought and water, to cultivate sweet potatoes and make wine, and once the famine comes, these sweet potatoes will be turned into relief grain. And once there is a sweet potato that can maintain sufficient yield in the case of a sharp decline in the yield of other crops, then the locals will definitely follow suit.

After all, they all saw the value of this thing.

Especially Shaanxi.

The fertile fields in Guanzhong have long been a thing of the past.

At this time, in addition to the white canal irrigated by the Jing River, Guanzhong can also play a slight role, and the water conservancy facilities that once irrigated the land in Guanzhong have all been annihilated in history.

Unless Yang Xin has the ability to build Guanzhong Bahui, there can be no real change after all, the only way is to promote sweet potatoes, use the natural advantages of this crop, alleviate the coming era of hunger, although sweet potatoes are indeed ashamed, but at present this is the most realistic choice. Not only Guanzhong, but in fact, in these places such as Beizhili, Shandong, and Henan, all have to make every effort to promote sweet potatoes, but the land is controlled by the gentry, and Yang Xin currently does not have the ability to lift the table.

Then it can only be reclaimed commercially.

There are still a lot of uncultivated wasteland in the north, and at present, the entire Beizhili adds up to 50 million mu, and the cultivated land in modern Hebei is nearly 100 million.

In other words, there is also double the reclamation potential.

And there is no need for more, as long as there are 10 million mu, or even 1 million mu can be reclaimed to plant sweet potatoes is also a huge grain depot for drought relief, this year's harvest of Yang Xin in the Tianjin reclamation area, as high as 1 million stone grains, these rice husks are sold to the capital as surplus grain, and the price of rice in the capital is directly pulled back to one or two. Although it is difficult to have a second place like Tianjin, the commercial production of sweet potatoes will still greatly reduce the price of grain in the north.

That's it.

Anyway, in the north, those gentry can't make waves.

Mrs. Yang brought these two pieces to the Yang family, and Yang Xin's own is the Tianjin reclamation land that has been increased to 300,000 mu, and the reclamation land in Fengyang is also more than 100,000 mu, but the latter does not bring him enough income. The cultivated fields there are mainly corn and sweet potatoes, and the yield is not much to feed the mountain people, and the remaining amount is not much, all of which are processed and sold on the spot, but the mountain people do have enough to eat.

In addition to the land is the factory.

The largest industries are still fisheries and fish processing.

And tin plating has been made, after all, Eastern Europe had it two hundred years ago, and now European countries are also trying to make their own tinplate.

The next thing that needs to be solved is canning.

As long as he can make tinplate cans, his cans can be produced like crazy.

Add more messy antiseptic materials to this thing, it is estimated that it can be put for decades, the British dare to give the soldiers canned food for half a century, decades are indeed exaggerated, more than ten years can always be, these canned food can be hoarded after it is done, so that once there is a famine, the food is not enough to directly transport the canned food. And those cans don't need to use other fish, all use whales, the bigger the oil prepared for the famine, the better, the heavy oil and salt are like luncheon meat, and a can is like a stone......

In a few years, it will be like a real stone.

But it doesn't matter.

In the famine, even the hungry people who ate the flies Guanyin soil did not care whether it was unpalatable or not.

As long as you can eat it.

What's more, this is all high calorie, and it is estimated that one person can hang his life by giving five taels a day.

One gram of fat has nine calories, and five taels of canned whale meat full of oil have to provide more than a thousand, and these are enough.

At least not starvation.

In short, this is the most important industry of Yang Dudu at present.

Other watchmakers, this one was also leading, because at this time there were no pendulums in Europe and no escapements, and his clocks were all available.

Glass mirrors.

This one also goes beyond Europe.

Munitions manufacturing, even including gunpowder, these are also the best at present, but the cannon is still cast, there is no high-end equipment such as artillery boring machine, and the flintlock pistol is not currently manufactured, and it is useless to manufacture it, because the cost must be too high to be equipped on a large scale, and the British also made it at this time, and the result is that it took almost half a century to equip it on a large scale.

The manufacture of those platen springs requires a truly high-level craftsman.

Besides, Yang Dudu didn't think that the wild boar skin still needed a flintlock pistol to deal with, and even within twenty years, he might not be able to meet a flintlock pistol.

An arquebus is enough.

The next step is to imitate the Sol arquebus.

This kind of arquebus is still worth promoting, the biggest difference between it and the bird gun in addition to the large caliber is that the butt really becomes a shoulder shot, the butt of the bird gun is still a grip type, in addition, this arquebus and the turtledove gun is also with a bracket, an iron rod with a bent bracket on the top of the ground, the gun is on the top, and the back butt is aimed at the shoulder.

In addition, there is shipbuilding, the cruiser is no longer built, and it has been changed to other government-run shipyards in various places, this kind of thing is the coastal defense patrol, and dozens of them have been built at present, although the Apocalypse plans to replace all the coastal sailors with this and a small number of auxiliary centipede ships, but this kind of low-end work does not need Yang Xin. Whether it is Zhejiang or Fujian, the government-run and private shipyards along the coast of Guangdong are all capable of building this kind of warship, especially Guangdong, which likes to use a lot of iron wood for shipbuilding.

I'm afraid they built it stronger than Yang Xin's current one.

Including the small cruiser used by Shen Yourong, it can also be built locally in Dengzhou.

At present, Yang Xin's shipbuilding task is to build the four battleships for the apocalypse, and also to build enlarged schooners for the newly established Nanyang Company, and the first batch of 100-ton schooner merchant ships is estimated to be put into commercial shipping next year. These schooners were not very armed, that is, six small cannons and the crew's muskets, speed was their most effective defense, no other ship on the sea could catch up with them, of course, if necessary, they could also be equipped with more guns, after all, this was also the best choice for privateers.

But Yang Dudu didn't want to be a pirate.

Because a peaceful and stable maritime trade route is the most beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

After all, as long as the merchant ships come to the Ming Dynasty, they must send silver, and the more they come, the more they will send, since it is very unwise to loot and shrink the maritime commerce.

"In other words, we are also a big family!"

On an afternoon in early February of the third year of the Apocalypse, Yang Dudu sat on the recliner in the gazebo of his garden, put down his family's property report and sighed.

The little meow next to him feeds him cantaloupe.

On the other side, Wan'er stroked the piano and sang a cappella song.

Later, Mrs. Yang was in a daze at a pile of ledgers, Huang Ying next to Mrs. Yang was lying on the same table and dealing with business problems with her, and two Yehe beauties were throwing stones and smashing ice in the pond to play, they had been playing this boring game to find a little hometown atmosphere, and Xiaocao, who had grown into a big loli, and her good sisters looked at them with disdain, as if two cats were looking at two stupid huskies.

Yang Dudu, who raised his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds, actually had a feeling of quiet years at this moment.

However.

"Look at the water!"

A scream pulled him back to reality.
