In next year's newspaper to the imperial court, Jiangzhou will have a milestone-like significance: a large area of terraced fields will be launched. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Those terraces were limited to the productivity of ancient times, with the best and most fertile soil, but in the past they could not be effectively cultivated, and were not considered arable land. Now, with the completion of the large-scale "Pump City Tower" and the final test and acceptance, Gao Fangping's team expects to be able to add nearly 10,000 acres of arable land.

10,000 acres of land sounds nothing to Jiangzhou, where 700,000 people are hungry at the moment. But the strategic significance is that the construction of the second phase of the pump tower will be faster, more efficient and less costly.

The technical research and development of the pump city building has been basically completed, and the production line of its key components has also been formed, so these fixed costs have been put into operation, and the next step is the explosion of production capacity in a low-cost state.

Guan Qi watched as this terrifying mechanical monster began to operate, and under the thrust of the eight ploughing oxen and the flow of the river, there was a sound of rushing water, so that water began to pour into the small reservoir above the hills.

"What a miracle!"

Guan Qi sighed and was also curious, planning to take a closer look.

Then before they got close, a group of persecuted delusional tiger-headed guards put all kinds of bed crossbows and god arm crossbows on the city tower and shouted: "This is the top military secret of the Great Song Dynasty, and those who approach for no reason will bombard and kill the city slag, hurry up, get out." ”

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Guan Qi rode a donkey and said as he walked: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am a friend of the Great Song Dynasty, seeing your hard work, I have come to send some special snacks......"

The bed crossbow above didn't wait for Guan Qi to finish speaking, and then began to shoot.

The bed crossbow is equivalent to a "cannon" in this era, and when the two-meter-long terrifying giant arrow was shot in front of the feet of Guan Qi and the others, it flew sand and stones, causing them to kick and kick in chaos.

The old rules, this samurai team, which claims to be able to solve any problems on the Belt and Road, have carried small white flags, urged their horses to flee.

"Hahahaha!" The tiger head battalion soldiers on the tower of the city couldn't help laughing......

In the past, Guan Qi, who had excellent knowledge, believed that the Great Song Dynasty was a big stupid elephant that had fallen asleep, and they had the incomparable technology and diligence and simplicity of this era, but unfortunately their spirit of the times was fireworks in March, and most of those productivity and technology were buried, and although a small half was being used, it was mainly used to serve the strange skills and extravagance under the "Qinglou culture".

For example, the milestone-like compass was used to walk the Silk Road, but in the Great Song Dynasty, the compass was mainly used by Taoist priests to defraud wealthy people.

And now, after Da Song came out with a pork flat, it seems that everything has become obscene.

Before entering the city, on the other side of the Jiangzhou wharf, Guan Qi once again saw the strange scene in the cold winter - the Jiangnan shipyard was full of people, everyone was working at full strength, transporting timber and keels.

Guan Qi's eyes were green, and Gao Fangping was actually here in Jiangnan Shipyard to verify that the tonnage was not smaller than that of the Rongde Emperor.

And from a distance, the design of the shape of the big ship is somewhat different from that of the Rongde Emperor. It is impossible to say which is better, according to Guan Qi's experience, Gao Fangping's design style seems to be more convenient to resist wind and waves than river transportation.

Just looking at the shape of the ship, Guan Qi believes that Gao Fangping's mind is completely prepared for the maritime trade.

Now that the big ship is still very early from completion, and only the skeleton has been built, Guan Qi watched with his own eyes as the more and more skilled workers flattened the huge mast, erected it again, flattened it, and erected it again. And so on and so forth.

Guan Qi took a deep breath, this design is very advanced, although it is a large ship for navigation, it can also sail in inland rivers.

Yes, in the shipping of the Great Song Dynasty, the river transportation did not rely much on the sails, and the Great Song Dynasty, especially near the city wharf, was full of arch bridges, and the sea ships wanted to shuttle through the inland rivers, and the mast must be a movable design, otherwise it would be very troublesome to cross the bridge.

Zhang Shangying's big stick mallet refuses to share the big ship construction technology, but it is difficult for Gao Fangping, in fact, in terms of extensive design of large things, Gao Fangping's team is stronger than the craftsman, and the technology of shipbuilding is blank, but it is not important, you can grope slowly.

The most important thing is that the experience and quality control ability accumulated by Gao Fangping's team in the "assembly line process" are valuable, and they are stronger than any country and team in this era.

Just like the seemingly unskilled carriage produced by Gao Fangping, it is just a few parts, but the quality of others is not good. In time, after the construction of the first demonstration vessel, the river trial will be carried out, and after it is qualified, the sea trial will be carried out.

After finding out all the faults and finalizing the technology, it is time for Gao Fangping's team to give full play to the strengths of the assembly line operation.

In this process, the experience and accumulation of the team will become more and more, and the number of skilled skilled workers will increase geometrically, and at that time, basically, the "invincible navy" of the 100-year era of the first year of the Common Era will be born.

After looking at it for a long time, Guan Qi muttered: "We need to transfer more assets to Song Guo as soon as possible, this sleeping big stupid elephant, look at it and wake up." ”

"If it doesn't wake up, what's the matter with the old men?" The samurai leader asked curiously.

"In the words of the Han people, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and the strength of the Great Song Dynasty is when other kingdoms are weakened. Merchants have no attributes and no borders. Guan Qi said lightly: "History has never been gentle, when a country and a regime are weakened, there will be two results." First, the regime stifles and exploits middle-level wealthy businessmen. Second, the bitter people burned, killed and looted the middle-level wealthy businessmen. There were no surprises. ”

The men were unaware.

"Prepare my gifts and prayers, I want to see Gao Fangping as soon as possible." When he entered Jiangzhou City with a team of horses that were dusty, Guan Qi commanded......

The inherent rules of officialdom in the Great Song Dynasty are: eight points of plan, two points of implementation.

The bureaucrats who represent the Great Song Dynasty have more ideas than anyone else, and if you talk about IQ, the sum of the IQ of the bureaucratic class in the Great Song Dynasty must be higher than the sum of the current global regimes. However, it is precisely because they are accustomed to tearing that they like fantasy rather than action.

At the same time, they don't like others to act if they don't act themselves, such as Wang Anshi, who will be opposed without any reason.

The current Gao Fangping is also incompatible with the officialdom of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and Xiao Gao's requirements for his rule are: to be obscene, to be impulsive, and to dare to do it.

Two points of plan, eight points of execution. If you think so much, you just do it right, and all the solutions and wisdom are in the process of implementation.

The idea of the silver and copper standard, the issuance of paper money, the huge amount of money required for the verification of shipbuilding technology, the sales of large ships later, etc., in fact, none of these are small problems, they all involve too many things, how to solve them in the future, Gao Fangping is also a black eye, but less nonsense, first make things out, even if you don't use it, it's better to pretend to be forced than to have no technology.

In the present when there is a surplus of labor and cheapness, the completion of the primitive accumulation stage of technology will be useless later when there is money.

While carrying out vigorous construction, Gao Fangping was also thinking about his plan for the future.

This is a huge plan, which is simple in initial thought, but in fact, it is impossible to unilaterally organize a huge fleet to form trade hegemony through Gao Fangping's own government.

First of all, Gao Fangping is not a court, just a local government. Economic and political assets are limited. In addition, if the Jiangzhou government and Dongying trade in a large area, it is illegal.

Secondly, even if the legitimacy problem is solved, the political problem. But energy, manpower, and organizational structure are also big problems.

There is a saying in later generations that the first-class group is the leader of the standard-setting, not necessarily the executor. There is some truth to this.

The all-round trade with Dongying is not a huge technical work, so the ideal state is: Gao Fangping formulates rules, takes the lead, and then introduces large and small capital merchants to carry out trade plundering in an extensive and all-round way.

What does Gao Fangping do: pinch the army, core technology, agriculture and customs. Pinch these four to death is the top of the food chain, the rule-makers.

A large number of ships were sold to these caravans, which were more cruel than sharks, so they ended up plundering like the European merchants robbing Africa and the Americas.

However, the real opportunity for how to plan and execute these has not yet appeared. Gao Fangping's reputation in officialdom and among the capital is a bit bad at the moment. Someone needs to take the lead and someone to guide the lead, so in the end, in the face of interests, the profit-seeking nature of capital will give up its discipline and position, and join this "feast of the Great Song Dynasty Age of Discovery".

While thinking, someone came in with a prayer post from Persian Hu Shang Guan Qi. By the way, I also sent it with countless gifts.

Guan Qi's post said: Su Zhi Gao Fangping is fair and honest and does not accept bribes, so these things are not bribes, just some things and gifts for children and wives.

Open the various gifts and look at them, which can be regarded as a variety of special goods: tortoiseshell ornaments, and women's favorite spices.

Gao Fangping looked at Zhang Miancheng and said, "Old driver, how much are these things worth visually?" ”

After Zhang Miancheng looked at the boxes one by one, the value was neither high nor low, and it was worth hundreds of yuan. To say that hundreds of times are for an official of Gao Fangping's level, this Hu Shang is not wrong, this is really not a bribe, it is just a gift to his family, which is considered filial piety.

But if you really want to calculate the value, a few hundred times it is enough for ordinary people's living expenses for many years.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Miancheng said: "It's worth about five or six hundred yuan, if you don't know the mansion, you can accept it, right?" ”

"Okay, take it." Gao Fangping turned to an account office under Fu'an and said: "With the reputation of my family's own account office, I have given this Hu merchant a gift of 500 yuan." ”

"Yes, Master Ya." Tomiyasu's subordinates still prefer to be called Yanai rather than adults, which means that they are close people and retainers.

"Please come in." Gao Fangping commanded again.
