What is the title of chief engineer, He Shiji does not understand.

"Excuse me, are you the steward here?"

He Shiji was pointed at gunpoint, and he didn't care if he didn't salute or not. But the tone of the question was full of disbelief, this little girl is too young, right?

"Yes! Tell me something! Hexiang urged.

Hexiang came out of the British Mansion and was brought by Wang Yue, what happened to Jinyiwei?

He Shiji is unlucky today, and even a little girl doesn't take him seriously. Although Xiao Jinping glared angrily, he didn't dare to blow up the stab, and Chen Zaiming was still with his soldiers.

"Ah, I just want to ask, where does all this steel come from? Can you report to the imperial court? ”

The Ming Dynasty implemented a monopoly on salt and iron, and compared with salt, the control of iron was much looser, and there were blacksmith shops everywhere? There are thousands of private iron smelters in Foshan, but the iron monopoly system has always existed in the laws of the imperial court. Therefore, qualified operators must report to the government, and the small blacksmith shop and the government also turn a blind eye.

But Wang Yue's construction site is too exaggerated, not to mention iron, this is steel everywhere! 100,000 catties, hundreds of thousands of catties of steel are scattered everywhere, which is too scary. If these are made into weapons, it will be easy to equip a million-strong army. As a brocade guard, you must ask clearly and report to the court.

How did Hexiang know this, she frowned and said, "Then I don't know, this is all from my uncle, you go and ask him." ”

"Uncle?" He Shiji asked.

"It's Wang Yue and Wang Sihua." Hexiang smiled when he talked about Wang Yue.

He Shiji thought about it, what can a little girl know.

He said to Hexiang: "Thank you! After that, he visited various construction sites.

A group of Daming brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives on their waists walked in the common construction sites in later generations, in stark contrast to the surrounding scenes, and felt so incongruous.

For Jin Yiwei to go deep into the starting point city and investigate his own situation report, Wang Yue has been able to receive a lot of reports every day recently. It's annoying, but if people want to see it, let them see it, but don't let them do things.

Now he has his eyes set on agriculture, and the corn, upland rice, and potatoes planted at the end of July are about to be harvested. This year, the planting was late, and in order to be in a hurry, there was no intensive cultivation. Mechanized cultivated land, mechanized sowing, mechanized fertilization, upland rice omitted the link of seedling raising, and was planted directly.

Potatoes don't need to be worried, they can be grown as long as they are grown, and there is enough water.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was corn in the Jiajing period, which was called "Yumai". Potatoes were mentioned in Xu Guangqi's 1628 Encyclopedia of Agricultural Administration, but these crops were not widely promoted.

Many people know corn, and potatoes are often eaten by people in the starting point city, and they are not a rare thing, but many people have never planted them.

The seeds provided by Wang Yue are all high-quality seeds that have been improved for many generations, of course, they are not the same as the seeds of this time and space, and there is also a big killer such as chemical fertilizer. Even though the seeds were planted late, he was still looking forward to the yield.

On the head of the corn field, looking at the endless corn stalks, Zhang Ziyun excitedly asked Wang Yue: "Is this the corn field?" ”

She has eaten sweet corn, and she has planted an acre in the vegetable field of Qiqicheng, and now she is almost finished, and she loves to eat it very much.

"That's right, we have boiled corn to eat today." Wang Yue entered the cornfield, broke open the ears of corn, and saw that the corn was full.

He turned back to Yue Shun, the commander of the guard platoon, and said, "Shunzi, send a few people to break some more corn and go back." ”

He loves boiled corn, so he came to see the cornfield first.

"Yes!" Yue Shun immediately arranged for someone to break the corn.

Zhang Ziyun said curiously: "Is this the same as the corn in the vegetable field?" ”

Wang Yue said: "The varieties are different, this corn is used for grain, and the yield is very high." ”

"How tall?" Zhang Ziyun asked.

"Seven or eight hundred catties should be there." Wang Yue was also uncertain, he turned around and asked Shen Youfu, the person in charge of agriculture on the ridge: "Uncle Fu, how many catties of corn can be produced by this acre of land?" ”

Shen Youfu smiled and said, "Lord Wang, we calculated it yesterday. The yield of corn per acre is at least 900 catties, and the yield of potatoes per mu is 6,800 catties. ”

Zhang Ziyun's eyes widened and said, "The yield of potatoes per mu is 6,800 catties? How can it be? ”

Although she doesn't know about farming, at least she has common sense, the grain output in the Ming Dynasty is basically about 120 catties to 200 catties, and I heard that the best land in the south of the Yangtze River is only 400 catties per mu, and the drought has been seriously reduced in recent years.

Wang Yue waved his hand and smiled: "The corn is dried, the potatoes are watery, and if it is dry, it is estimated that it will be three or four thousand catties per acre." ”

He saw that Shen Youfu didn't mention upland rice, and asked him: "Uncle Fu, how much is the yield of upland rice per acre?" ”

Shen Youfu said with a smile: "One mu of upland rice is four hundred catties. It's amazing, it's amazing. "This was unimaginable before.

Wang Yue knew that this was the result of no seedlings, this year's time was tight, and next year's super hybrid rice seeds would not scare the Ming Dynasty to death.

He instructed: "Uncle Fu, hurry up and collect it." Ziyun and Guo Yanchang discussed it, dispatched 30,000 people from all over the country to help with the harvest, and then asked Wang Pengyuan to send out all the agricultural vehicles. In addition, the regimental training in each county can probably transfer 10,000 people, and the Tiance Army will send another 3,000 troops to help. In addition, there are more than 30,000 laborers in the agricultural sector, and the manpower is basically enough. After these crops are harvested, it is time to plant winter wheat. ”

The construction of Shijingshan Industrial Zone has attracted most of the displaced people to give up their land to work in the factory. The trade-off between three taels of silver a month and five acres of land for a year's harvest made many people decisively give up the land, after all, the land was leased to them by Wang Yue, and the property rights did not belong to them.

So in the end, there were more than 30,000 people left in the agricultural mouth who had a strong plot for the land, and the starting point city organized them to cultivate in a unified manner.

When Shen Youfu heard that there were so many people helping, he smiled and said, "Thank you Lord Wang for your great support." ”

Including Miyun, near Shijingshan Industrial Zone, and near the starting point city, Wang Yue successively acquired more than one million mu of land from Xun Qin and military households. More than one million pieces of land have been purchased in Daxing, and many of them have not had time to be planted this year, and Wang Yue has become the largest landlord in Daming.

"Aim to complete the harvest within 10 days." Wang Yue then asked Shen Youfu: "Have all the vegetables in the greenhouse been planted?" ”

In order to solve the problem of vegetables, especially winter vegetables, Wang Yue arranged for people to build 6,000 acres of greenhouses on the edge of the starting city.

Shen Youfu said: "The greenhouse vegetables have been planted one after another, and we have also planted more than 10,000 acres of radish. Now there are wells in the fields, and the water is not worried! ”
