Gongliangxiu is bound to traditional concepts, and he can't figure out anything for a while, but he knows very well that finance is related to the fortunes of the country, and the law implemented by Bailiyan must be the result of careful consideration, and since it can be deduced, it must be profitable. With this in mind, Gongliang Xiu began to believe that the money ticket must be a promising move in the future, so he asked:

"When will Xianguo issue money stamps?"

"The reward in the first month of this year will be issued a batch of signed tickets, which will be officially issued in the first half of next year, with small money tickets issued first, and large money tickets will be issued in the next few years."

"What about the Liang Congress?"

"Liang Guo will not issue money tickets, but will admit the use of money tickets, as for what will happen in the future, it is unknown for the time being."

During the negotiation with Ji Feng, he already knew about the money ticket, but he was not optimistic about the issuance of the money ticket, and even secretly gloated and waited for Xianguo to make a mistake and give him the opportunity to pick up the gold ingots.

Because the Xianguo money is guaranteed by the imperial court, the money issued by the money is actually the paper money issued by the treasury, and the money is issued by the central bank, which is more liquid than the simple private money bank's own circulation and printing of silver bills, and the settlement is more simple.

Of course, if there are extreme political phenomena, such as the defeat of the whole country, the defeat of the monarch, the defeat of the monarch, the ten years of natural disasters, and so on, the central bank may not be able to withstand it.

Dispelling Gongliangxiu's concerns, Bailiyan took back the sample ticket and got up to say goodbye, Gongliangxiu intercepted him and said:

"Don't rush to go, I have two more things to ask you."

"What?" Bai Liyan said casually, still on guard in her heart.

"Let me ask you, what is the yield per mu of your Xianguo today?"

Bailiyan didn't know what the intention of Gongliang Xiu was, so she said casually:

"Two stones, or three or four stones, what do you ask?"

"Is there really only three or four stones?" Gongliangxiu asked, and he could hear in his tone that he didn't believe what Bai Liyan said.

"There are also five-stone ones, but there are not many."

"I can deceive others, but I can't deceive me.

The yield per mu of Wuping in the southwest of Chenling has been over seven stones every year in the past four years, the yield per mu of the whole county of the capital county is between four and a half stones to five stones, Beihai West County, Xianxi, and Qiunan two and a half counties, the minimum yield per mu is also three stones, and the more than four stones and even the mu yield of five stones, and that Pengyuan, Wanchuan, Shangguan, Ganfu a stone field is almost extinct, more than half of the mu produces two stones, three or four stones are extremely common, such a high-yield field acres, you Xianguo eleven counties of the land, enough to reach the power of a country.

Now the princes of all countries are following the example of your Xianguo to implement the new farming law, if it is effective, the princes of all countries have harvested, but why can you be the only one who can take the lead, can you tell me. ”

Gongliang's tone is sincere, perhaps because he has seen too many miracles in the past ten years, and he has never understood why others can never catch up with the development speed of Xianguo, even if the score of farming is not bad, the effect is still less than half of that of Xianguo, which is no longer a strange manifestation that can be explained by the differences in internal affairs and regional climate.

In this regard, Bailiyan wanted to say, but she didn't know what to say.

"What about this...... It's also simple, it's not simple, Brother Gongliang won't think that by copying the farming method of the Xianguo, he will be able to get the efficiency of the Xianguo and the power of the country. ”

"The ancient law of farming is the foundation, before all countries were similar, even if a new law is created, all countries will be extended, the difference is not too much, why will it be so much worse than your Xianguo for more than ten years."

"This matter can not be explained in a few words, but Ben Hou can tell my brother that the law that the countries follow is only my skin, but not the essence of Ben Hou, how can I have my great success, so my brother can be satisfied?"

"In this way, your new cultivation method in Xianguo has not been known to outsiders from the beginning."

"No, the new law at the beginning, as seen by various countries, is half different from the headquarters of our Xian country, and the real feng shui ridge is after Benhou returned from the southern expedition, especially in recent years."

Hearing this, Gongliang Xiu was very frustrated, he didn't believe it anyway, the princes of various countries imitated the new farming methods of the Xian Kingdom, and in the end they lacked nothing and learned nothing, so how could he accept it.

"Well, let me ask you again, when did you fulfill your promise when you asked me to go to see the cannon before?"

"Anytime. But now that I'm busy, it's not too late to go and watch the cannon after Mooney and the envoys are done. If nothing else, Ben Hou took his leave. ”

"Well, please......"

Bai Liyan could see how lost Gongliangxiu was in his heart, after all, no one wanted to admit that the apprentice who handed over his hands would not even learn the skin.

In the beginning, Xianguo agriculture was still mainly based on improving seedling raising and planting methods, but in recent years, the development of education and medical technology has differentiated into plant research dedicated to agriculture.

The improvement of seeds and the accumulation of fertilizer jointly promoted the increase of yield per mu, and at the same time, the intensive use of natural compound fertilizers for the production of straw ash, phosphate, volcanic mud and manure and animal fertilizer improved the barren land.

In addition to Jiangdong, Suidang, Dongyuan, Beihai four counties, as Gongliangxiu said, the remaining seven counties per mu of one stone of the field is almost extinct, the starting is two stones, three or four stones per mu is almost a common phenomenon, Wuping as the black soil, the yield of seven stones per mu is not the highest, the highest record in recent years has reached nine stones, which is not only the credit of the fertile land, but also the result of breeding and selection.

In the future, Wuping and the land south of it will not only serve as an important food town, but will also shoulder the responsibility of cultivating improved varieties of crops.

The quality of the seeds is not only the result of fertility, but also the result of generation after generation. In ancient China, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the yield of one mu of thin-yielding rice was only more than 100 catties, and the yield of good rice was more than 200 catties, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, only a very small number of good fields produced four or five hundred catties, and the yield of most fields per mu was only two or three hundred catties or even less.

It took more than 2,500 years to double the potential of seeds, and since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the theory of hybrid waterways has exceeded a ton per mu, and it has increased more than four times in just 60 or 70 years.

In view of this, Bailiyan began to systematically cultivate agriculture as early as six years ago, and gave priority to collecting different varieties of crop seeds from all over the Central Plains, and selected several excellent varieties to breed high-yield seeds. At the same time, technicians were selected to search for wild seeds in various places to lay the foundation for future cultivation.

In the final analysis, countries are only scratching the surface, and the real secret lies in education and advanced concepts.

A cow can plough seventy or eighty acres of dry land a day, but you plough too much, do you have enough manpower to harvest it? And I have more ears of rice per acre than yours, and the grains are stronger than yours, and the yield of one acre of land is twice or even three times that of yours, and the same production capacity requires only one-third of your labor, and the extra manpower can do more other work. This is productivity, manpower is productivity, technology and knowledge are productivity.

After a few days, Chenling was still immersed in the residual warmth of a tail plate and enjoyed the last benefits, the news that Wei Guo was about to send troops was as unknown as a stone sinking into the sea, Bai Liyan pondered that the envoys sent by Wei Guo would rush to Xian in the near future, but he was not in a hurry.

He was even more worried that the construction projects that had already been started in various places could not be slowed down for the war, so he issued two successive decrees to recruit 150,000 people from various places to participate in the construction of the project, putting on the posture that the Xianguo was building a large construction project and had no time to take care of the war.

During the period, Bailiyan successively inspected the Yongxing production department and the Xuanyun City under construction, although Ji Feng determined the willingness to buy Yongxing equipment, but the contract has not been signed, it is not that he is playing any tricks, this matter involves a lot of money, he really can't be the master.

Ji Feng was escorted away from Jinyin in early August, and rushed back to Liang by land, with bumpy carriages and horses all the way, no matter how fast it was, it would take more than a month. It will still take some words and time for him to convince the Son of Heaven and his domestic magnates and misers, and it will not be possible to do so quickly.

But time waits for no one, and it is impossible to delay until next year when Ji Feng places an order to pay a deposit and then adjusts production, so that another year of time will be wasted.

So after getting Mooney's funds in the first month, Bailiyan adjusted the production focus, and the four major factories of machinery, gears, bearings, and heavy forging focused on the production of steam engines and various types of machine tools, and expanded the scale of production at any cost, in order to increase the production capacity of the four factories by 50% before next summer.

When Ji Feng's orders and funds come down, it is basically the middle of next year, and then drag on for half a year, to the end of next year, during which it will take a year and a half to expand the production capacity.

Xuanyun City is a newly built city that replaces Yongxing cultural institutions, is placed between Yongxing City and Ruitian and Wuping, the city wall is 30 miles long, and the wall is three zhang high. After completion, Xuanyun moved into all the core resources of Yongxing City, such as education, scientific research, medicine, biology, and precision machining. At the same time of vacating Yongxing East City to give up the land, it started a new stove to form a new layout of Yongxing strong industry and Xuanyun heavy scientific research.

In view of the fact that the land for Yongxing City is still tight, especially the large number of blast furnaces and coking plants built in Xicheng, Bailiyan considers expanding Xicheng next year, and enclosing another layer of city walls around Xicheng, while the inner city wall will continue to be retained, forming a pattern of inner and outer cities, and after the Ministry of Education, medical care, and Keyanmen in the east of the city move out, the vacated land will be used to build machinery factories.

But building factories and expanding the walls together is not a long-term solution. You must know that after a few years, the scale of the industrial city is far from being constrained by the city wall, and the ancient city wall around Beijing is finally very large, and where can it still restrain the development of Beijing's urban area.

But at present, the destruction of fixed assets by war is almost devastating, and the industry of Yongxing City is so concentrated that a war is enough to wipe out the capital of Xianguo, and it is obviously not advisable not to build the city wall.
