Now most of the cultivated land in the northwest has been returned to the royal family, so Zhu Cijiong is particularly concerned about this piece, that is two or three hundred million mu, and eighty percent of the waste is also more than 200 million mu, it is really a pity, is it a pity to move the migrated population back? But they all have land to plant now, and if they don't plant the land with plenty of rain, let them plant dry land, isn't that sick!

Perhaps there are other solutions, and he asked a little unwillingly: "Why can a middle-aged laborer only plant twenty acres at most, and what is the main difficulty?" “

This question is too simple, if it is too direct, I am afraid that there is a suspicion of mocking the emperor's ignorance, Chen Zilong thought for a while, and replied cautiously in a respectful tone as much as possible: "This, the emperor, is mainly to turn over the ground, even if there are cows, the cattle have to be tired to lie down when they turn over twenty acres of land, if there are no cows, twenty acres of land to turn down, a middle-aged laborer has to be tired and half dead!" “

Zhu Cijiong didn't pay attention to Chen Zilong's tone of speaking, his main attention was focused on this difficult point, after listening to Chen Zilong's description, he suddenly realized that turning over the ground is indeed a problem, even if he has never planted the land, he knows that it is quite physically exhausting to dig the ground loose with a hoe and a hoe, even if it is pulled by an ox, the physical strength of the ox is also limited, if there is ploughing equipment for future generations.

He hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Bi Maokang said with some regret: "On the question of turning over the ground, Song Yingxing once mentioned to Wei Chen, he wanted to design a ploughing dragon, that is, using a steam locomotive to pull a large row of oxen and plows, in this way, turning over an acre of land is a matter of about a quarter of an hour, the locomotive will not be tired, and it is not a problem to turn over dozens of acres of land a day." However, the problem of this wheel has not been solved, to ensure that the wheel does not sink into the ground, the wheel must be made as wide as possible, but the wider the wheel is made, the heavier, the heavier it is, the easier it is to sink in, this is simply a dead knot, so this dragon has not been able to do it. “

Isn't it just a load-bearing question, why don't you ask me! Zhu Cijiong clapped his hands excitedly and said, "This is too simple, why didn't you say it earlier, I will draw it for you." “

With that, he personally took a pen and paper from his desk and drew a sketch of the crawler chassis.

He didn't need him to explain, Bi Maokang understood at a glance, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Cijiong with great reverence, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "The emperor is really a god." “

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he was a little embarrassed, this is just pure copying and plagiarism, it is really not worth it, he asked a little embarrassedly: "Now it's no problem to turn over the earth, you and Zilong discuss it, see how many earth-turning dragons are to be equipped in the northwest, and strive to make it all before next year's spring ploughing." “

When Bi Maokang heard this, his face was shocked, there was no need to discuss, he couldn't do it at all, he couldn't help but be embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being incompetent, Wang Gongchang really can't do so many earth-turning dragons, now the weapons and equipment of the regular legions alone are a little too much, and there are ...... purchase orders on the European side, by the way, the emperor, how many muskets and artillery do you want on the European side?" “

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he slapped his forehead, how could he forget about this, some time ago, he was mainly focused on matters in the northwest, and he really didn't have the heart to talk to people about arms dealing, so he sent the European purchasing group to travel all over the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't know where these people were at this time.

Now it's embarrassing, I don't know the specific order quantity and delivery date on the European side, the planning of the military factory can't be done, he thought about it, anyway, the train, the telegraph network and the development of the northwest are almost discussed, so let's just go here today, and wait for him to negotiate the order contract with the European procurement team, and then discuss the planning of the military factory.

So, he said directly: "Let's get here first today, and discuss the rest of the things in two days." “

The emperor is a golden mouth, saying one thing or another, everyone naturally didn't dare to have any opinions, and when they heard the words, they got up and retreated, leaving only Zhu Cijiong there to think deeply.

In fact, where was he pondering, just a little embarrassed, as soon as everyone left, he immediately recruited Cao Huachun in, and asked in a low voice: "Where is the envoy group of the European continent now?" “

Cao Huachun replied in a low voice: "If you go back to the emperor, they only came back from Liaodong a few days ago, and they are visiting the Dongdaying at this time." “

Fortunately, it was not far away, and Zhu Cijiong ordered in a low voice: "Immediately pass on my will, let them rush back today, and tomorrow I will meet them in the Imperial Palace to discuss the issue of arms ordering." “

Now that the capital and Dongdaying are connected by train, it is convenient to go back and forth, Cao Huachun said yes, and respectfully withdrew to arrange.

Unexpectedly, not long after he went out, he said urgently outside the door: "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei urgently reports the secret." “

As soon as Zhu Cijiong heard the word urgent, he chuckled in his heart, this is definitely a big incident, and he didn't dare to send any urgent secret reports here, he hurriedly said: "Hurry, send it in." “

When Cao Huachun heard this, he immediately hurriedly walked in with the secret report.

Zhu Cijiong took the secret report, tore it open and looked at it, and just one sentence: Emperor Qiqi, Jiannu conspired to establish a country and become the emperor in the Chahar grassland on December 30 this year, with the country name "Daqing"!

Nima, it's this product again, can't you stop it, at this time, I am the emperor, I want to beat you.

Huang Taiji really thought so, he just wanted Zhu Cijiong to send troops to the grassland to fight him in a decisive battle!

Since being driven to the Mongolian steppe by Zhu Cijiong, he has worked hard to develop gunpowder weapons while conquering the Mongolian tribes, and finally completely conquered the southern Mongolian tribes at the end of this year, and obtained the jade seal of the Northern Yuan Emperor.

In ancient times, the jade seal of the country was generally regarded as the destiny of heaven, that is, whoever got the jade seal of the country was the emperor chosen by God, Huang Taiji thought it was true, God favored him, but the strength of the Ming Dynasty almost made him desperate, what should I do? With his current strength, attacking the Ming Dynasty is simply seeking death, but the jade seal of the country not only gave him confidence, but also made him think of a clever trick, that is, to lead the Ming army to the grassland.

If he attacks head-on, he really has no way to face the Ming Dynasty's fortified cities and artillery, but it is different when he arrives on the grassland, the vast steppe is the world of their nomads, and the Ming Dynasty is useless to come to a million army, like Zhu Yuanzhang has organized a million army into the Mongolian steppe many times, wanting to destroy the Northern Yuan, as a result, the Ming Dynasty said that it was a victory, and the Northern Yuan has not insisted for more than 300 years, and it has only been destroyed by itself now.

The Ming army is not two or three million now, if the little emperor really dares to organize a million army into the grassland, maybe he can also give him a civil fort change, as long as this million army is eliminated, the Huahua world in the Central Plains is not at your fingertips!

As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country, Huang Taiji thought that as long as the news of his title to the emperor spread, the little emperor would definitely be annoyed and angry.

He was indeed very angry, just wanted to develop well for a while, and this goods came to make trouble, but he also knew that he wanted to block this goods on the grassland, and the current strength of Daming was not enough, so he decided to ignore this goods first, and then organize an army to go to the grassland to support him.

Therefore, Zhu Cijiong not only didn't go, but also asked Cao Huachun to burn the secret report, out of sight, out of sight, call the emperor the emperor, even if you call the god, it's not that you don't dare to come out of the grassland!
