Chapter 149: Planning
Slightly adjusted the team and drew up the framework, not to mention what the people below thought, Yang He asked people to unfold a big map, but it was a detailed planning map. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He took a small stick, walked to the planning map, looked at the curious people below, and said in a deep voice: "I look at the mansion, the more chaotic the situation in the Ming Dynasty is, how can there be eggs under the nest?" Therefore, in order to protect yourself, you must strengthen yourself and continue to grow, so that you will not be eaten by big fish and small fish in the chaos of the coming day......"
Many people below suddenly realized that in fact, after the extermination of the Tongshan bandits, some Zhuang people could not help but feel comfortable and complacent in their hearts, and some did not understand Yang Xianggong's desperate development mentality.
Some people even think that Xin'anzhuang is invincible in this area, and it can be closed and shrunk, live a peaceful and quiet life, and don't pay attention to any wind and rain in the outside world.
Yang He can't blame them for their low consciousness and knowledge, after all, even if they are the managers of Zhuangzhong, most of them were just ordinary people in the past, and the highest level is only a lieutenant chief, and their knowledge is very limited, and the life of having a wife and children on the hot kang has been satisfied.
But Yang He's words broke this dream, and raised the situation to the height of the entire Ming Dynasty, which made many people shocked, as if another door opened, as if jumping from two-dimensional space to three-dimensional, suddenly knew that the original world was like this.
The height determines the viewing angle, and it turns out that from a high place, Xin'anzhuang is not a paradise, but a small place on the north shore of Suining.
In the whole of Daming, it is just a very insignificant place.
Many people still think of the hardships of fleeing all the way, the tragic situation of looking at each other and thousands of miles of white bones, if you relax a little, Xin'anzhuang ......
Most of the people fled to avoid the Liukou, and now they have reached the north bank of the Yellow River, although most of the Liukou cannot cross the river, but from the south of Shandong, there are countless thieves, such as Jiaoshan bandits, Tongshan bandits, are the remnants of the thieves from Shandong.
Who knows if there will be a large-scale bandit in the future?
Everyone has the current peaceful life, and it is only after repeated vicious battles, and the opponents of several vicious battles are all insignificant among the countless bandits in the Ming Dynasty.
And how many Jiaoshan bandits, copper mountain bandits, and Daming will there be?
Seeing that the faces of the people around him were solemn and their attitudes were much more correct, Yang He nodded, in order to develop, a goal must be erected.
In order to develop, it is even more necessary to erect an enemy, so that the internal unity is under strong pressure, otherwise there is a risk of falling into internal friction when there is nothing to do.
Holding a small stick, Yang He continued to sigh: "The situation is not very peaceful, I have reported all kinds of things, after the defeat and death of Fu Dubing, Nanyang fell again, the king of Tang was killed, and he was as fierce as a tiger and killed in battle. Now that the thieves have surrounded Kaifeng, they have fallen into their belongings, and it is unknown whether they will wave their troops to the east, or even cross the river to the north to ......"
Many people below were even more shocked, the governors of the three sides, the vassal kings, and the senior generals died one after another, which had a great impact on them, after all, these were usually unattainable existences, but now they are like chickens and ducks, dying one by one.
Those who are in high positions are like this, let alone themselves?
It also made everyone realize that although Xin'anzhuang can be the king and hegemon on the north shore at present, but in the perspective of the entire Ming Dynasty, it is still very weak, and any wind and rain may be destroyed, and many people have a strong sense of crisis in their hearts.
Yang He glanced at the Quartet, there was no more intimidation, and the appropriate pressure could unite internally and have a consistent goal externally.
But if the pressure is too strong and exceeds the internal capacity, it will backfire and cause the internal collapse.
He said in a deep voice: "So in order to protect ourselves, we must continue to grow, so that no one dares to fight my idea of Xin'anzhuang!" ”
His voice was sonorous and powerful, giving people a strong sense of confidence, and he waved his stick heavily, emphasizing his tone, which made many people present look better.
In the end, Yang He pointed the stick at the planning map: "If you want to grow, you must set strategic goals and do things in the future, so that you can be calm and confident." ”
He said: "If everything is prepared, it will be abolished, how to develop, set a good goal strategy, I call it a plan, there is a one-year plan, there is a three-year plan, there is a five-year plan. Now the situation in Daming is more and more chaotic, so the planning of Xin'anzhuang should be measured in years......"
The expressions of the people below are different, some people are fascinated by it, Yang Xianggong's words, like Hong Zhong Dalu, constantly open the door to a new world to them, it turns out that the world is like this.
Someone is at a loss and at a loss, planning? For them, they used to live a chaotic life, they had to get by, they were monks for a day, and they had any plans for doing things. So I can't help but be at a loss.
Scanning the expressions of everyone below, Yang He smiled slightly, knowing in his heart which people can be promoted, which people can be eliminated, and which people will stand still in the future.
There is no fairness in the world, and people cannot be compared with each other, even if they stand on the same starting line, some people will stand out, and some people will be reduced to mediocrity.
I don't know how many of these people here can keep up with their pace in the end?
He said: "Therefore, I have set a plan for Chongzhen for fifteen years, and in terms of military affairs, it is planned that by the end of this year, the number of troops in Xin'anzhuang will reach 3,000, and they are all professional soldiers who are out of production......
Everyone below collectively took a breath of cold air, and the strength of Xin'anzhuang now, if the officers, standard-bearers, and guards are counted, there are about 600 people in total, but to reach 3,000 people, this is a very grand and grand goal.
Moreover, Yang Xianggong said that the professional soldiers who are out of production, although many people do not understand what this means, they can also guess from the literal test, they are similar to the battalion soldiers in the current army, who train and fight all year round and do not work.
Not to mention whether such a force can be recruited, whether the imperial court will have suspicions and obstacles to such a number of elite soldiers, etc., it is said that the burden of 3,000 troops is a very heavy burden.
However, if there are 3,000 elite soldiers, no matter how chaotic the situation in the Ming Dynasty is, it should be able to protect itself, right?
Wait a minute......
Yang Xianggong said that this is only Chongzhen's fifteen-year plan, is it possible that in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen and the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Yang Xianggong will have another plan?
Everyone listened below, all of them were noisy and whispering, and many people were afraid and excited in their hearts, feeling that Yang Xianggong's courage was too great.
I just sat and listened, and I felt like my heart was pounding.
However, Minister Yang, Han Guan'er, Luo Xianjue, Yang Qianzong and other young Zhuang factions in the field showed excited expressions on their faces, three thousand people are good, for them, the more soldiers, the better.
Yang He looked at Han Daxia: "Therefore, the military affairs hall should follow up, and the hall should set up a planning office to collect statistics and budget for the recruitment, training, salary, military uniforms, and equipment required for the annual number of soldiers, and then report it to me, and I will set up a planning office here to review and approve the detailed rules of each hall." ”
Han Daxia hurriedly got up and solemnly bowed his hand, answered the order loudly, and exhaled heavily, feeling that after following Yang Xianggong, all aspects were very different from the places he had been, and he was really a person who did great things, and his actions were different.
At the same time, I was terrified, I didn't know if I could bear the heavy trust, and I didn't want to live up to Yang Xianggong's expectations.
Yang He looked at him and said: "In terms of special military quartermasters, the military affairs hall must be well supplied, and now my Xin'an Zhuang produces more than 1,000 Xin'an guns a year, which is far from enough, and we must recruit more craftsmen." The output of my new Angun will reach at least 2,000 strokes this year! ”
He pointed to the planning drawings and said: "There is also iron armor, which will be officially made this year, so if you buy the iron armor style from the inspection department, the output will be at least five hundred pairs!" ”
The people below inhaled even more, the cost of one shot of Xin'an Gong is eight to ten taels of silver, and two thousand rods will cost twenty thousand taels of silver.
There is also the iron armor purchased from the inspection department, which is indeed very sophisticated, all made of fine iron, and the armor body and iron helmet arms and hands are readily available, but the price is also very expensive, a set costs thirty-five taels of silver, even if it is cheaper to make it yourself, but the raw material money can not be less.
There is also the craftsman's salary, food and housing, etc., a set of fear will cost between twenty-five taels and thirty taels, and five hundred pairs of iron armor will cost ten thousand taels to fifteen thousand taels of silver.
In this way, how much will military spending cost a year?
This is not counting the sergeant's food and lodging, the usual cost of clothing, and so on.
Everyone originally thought that after the extermination of the Tongshan bandits, Xin'anzhuang was already very wealthy, but now that they think about it, they are still quite nervous about this money and food.
Daming actually has a pair of twelve taels of strong armor, but this kind of soldier's armor is quite cut corners, but it is sliced with raw cowhide, and then coated with raw tung oil to bake slightly, the iron filings are finely punched in, and then oiled and then beaten, and finally like an iron piece, if the protective power, it is actually a little worse.
To use good armor, it is to use fine iron in all pieces, and finally stack like fish scales, which is very fine.
It's just that this kind of armor is expensive, that is, the armor style that Yang He wants, and the total weight is thirty catties.
Yang He actually thought about making plate armor, but it was more difficult to make plate armor.
It's not that knocking on a piece of iron plate is plate armor, so the columnar crystals are very loose, and there is no protection at all, and you can see through it with a random arrow.
It is necessary to use high-strength mechanical stamping, forging and heat treatment to carry out large-area plastic deformation, crush the columnar crystals into fine grains, and compact the loose ones to obtain excellent metal structure and mechanical properties.
But how could there be such stamping technology in the East and West at this time?
It's all hand-forged, and the speed is surprisingly slow, and it's very good to be able to complete a pair in a month or a few months.
In particular, the whole iron plate is made of fine iron, and it is not easy to forge it to the same quality and thickness.
And Yang He thought that the protection of the scale armor was also very good, so he used the scale armor.
And 3,000 sergeants, 500 armored soldiers, this is also the limit that Yang He can bear in Chongzhen's fifteenth year.
In addition to the ironclad soldiers, he also does not make other armor for the time being, not only financial and material resources, but also protective considerations.
Leather armor has a certain anti-slashing ability, but the protection of bows and arrows, swords and spears are relatively weak, and the cost performance is poor.
Chain mail also has a certain ability to prevent slashing and long-range bow damage, but when encountering a strong bow at close range, it is all over, and it is more difficult to fight.
After inlaying iron cotton armor, you can consider that every seven catties of cotton soaked in water mallet is flattened into a thin and sun-dried, and dried three times to form a layer, sewn into a jacket with three layers, and the iron armor is wrapped in the inside, covered with cloth, and nailed to copper foam.
The defense power can't be compared with pure iron armor, but the anti-knife slash and the bow and arrow are good, and they can be used in some classes, such as not collecting at night.
But ordinary soldiers, let's use shields and shields.
Even so, a year's worth of weapons and equipment has already cost 30,000 or 40,000 taels of silver.
There is also a military salary, five cents of silver for each soldier, and counting the officers, three thousand people are two thousand taels of silver a month, and twenty-four thousand taels a year.
And they eat and drink, and they need almost 10,000 stone of rice grain a year.
Yang He's mind moved slightly, his face was silent, but he frowned secretly, he had an inventory of 100,000 taels of silver and 10,000 stones of rice noodles, if according to this plan, the inventory of rice and noodles could only be used by the sergeants to eat and drink, and more than half of the silver would be consumed on it.
He had been a little hesitant about a possible battle against the Rogue in the near future, but now it seemed that he had to fight.
Find a way to get a handful out of the rogue.
……
At this time, Yang He's planning talked more about military quartermasters, Zhang Chuxun was the head of the quartermaster's office, but Han Daxia was the head of a hall, so naturally Han Daxia came out to answer the order.
Everyone below whispered, all of them thought that the burden of the military affairs hall this year was quite heavy, and it was very difficult to say whether the Quartermaster Institute, a few craftsmen, could complete the goal planned by Yang Xianggong.
However, with the goal, everyone also has ideas for this year's development, and they are quite refreshed, they are interested, and they are looking forward to Yang Xianggong's next explanation.
Zhang Chuxun sat quietly, holding a pencil notebook, taking notes carefully, his shy and delicate face was quite cautious, this year, the burden of his munitions station was not light.
It was Zhang Chugong, who glanced at his younger brother worriedly, wondering if he could bear this heavy trust.
The three brothers were originally defeated soldiers, but they were loved by Yang Xianggong and entrusted with important tasks, and this year the younger brother has a very heavy burden on his shoulders, and he hopes not to live up to his expectations.
Yang He looked at the data on the planning map, and honestly said that at the end of the year, 3,000 troops, at least half of them are guns, and there are 500 armored soldiers, can the goal be completed, he has no bottom in his heart, but time waits for no one, without this strength, how can he fight against the Qing army that will enter the army at the end of the year and early next year?
He will definitely fight the Qing army, although it may be a small unit, but he must also weigh their strength.
Although this generation is not his ultimate goal, he is a very important opponent for a long time, and he will fight early and get to know him as soon as possible.
……
Yang He took a deep breath and left all his distracting thoughts behind, he had no choice, only by constantly moving forward, then forward, developing, and developing again, could he have the strength to play in the great changes in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen and the first year of Hongguang.
In this way, he will not become an ant, but can protect his relatives, friends and family in troubled times.
He pointed the stick to the household hall and continued: "In the development of military affairs, agricultural affairs cannot be left behind...... How much land is there in front of the farm? ”
He said this, but he asked Minister Yang, the head of the household affairs hall.
Minister Yang hurriedly said: "Back to Xianggong, according to the statistics of the Gongtun, there are 9,600 acres of sorghum planted in the southeast and southwest in front of Xin'anzhuang, and the tun is taken care of, and it is estimated that it will be harvested in the summer of next year." ”
Yang He nodded, Xin'an Yuanzhuang is a big Zhuangzi, so there are nearly 10,000 acres of sorghum, but the grain output is not high at this time, even if the fertilizer was not prosperous before, the yield per mu of sorghum is only more than 100 catties, and the yield of corn per mu is more than 100 catties.
The yield of millet per mu is only about 100 catties, and when it is milled into millet, it is only about 50 or 60 catties.
Then the cotton per mu yields about 100 catties of seed cotton, and only 30 or 40 catties of lint are folded into lint.
He had seen the sorghum land in front of Xin'anzhuang, and it was considered to be well cared for, but the yield per mu was estimated to be only six or seven buckets, and the total income was probably about 7,000 stones.
This is certainly not enough.
Fortunately, there are not many others on the north shore, and there are too many wastelands, especially at the junction of Suining, Pizhou, and Xuzhou, where hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland can be easily found.
It's still easy to find, look carefully, millions of acres are just idle.
The Ming Dynasty has arrived now, the world is too chaotic, many places are uninhabited for thousands of miles, if Yang He fled at that time, passing through Suzhou, Lingbi so many places, one by one abandoned villages and abandoned villages, the original fertile land is all deserted, and now the whole country is up and down, there is no shortage of land.
He said: "The next goal of the household hall is to reclaim wasteland, on the shore of Baima Lake, Jiaoshan Villa, 20,000 acres of land will be reclaimed this year!" ”
Minister Yang opened his mouth and stammered: "20,000 acres ......"
Now there are only dozens of old and weak cultivators in Xin'anzhuang, and they are tired like dead dogs to take care of nearly 10,000 acres of sorghum land in front of the village, and they still have to reclaim 20,000 acres of fields?
Yang Hedao: "I have seen the vicinity of Jiaoshan Villa, there was originally a canal to divert water for irrigation, and after repair, half of the inside can be planted with rice. ”
Minister Yang said: "Rice ......"
Yang Hedao: "On the shore of Baima Lake, there is a large area of wild grass, and you can also raise livestock, build a chicken farm, and raise mules, horses, cattle, sheep and so on. ”
Minister Yang said: "Raise chickens." ”
Yang Hedao: "Your household affairs hall has a very heavy task, and the rice planting can be harvested in mid-May or early October at the latest." However, the autumn sowing of winter wheat can be later, before and after the cold dew. If the wheat field is well cultivated, you can first plant mung beans and adzuki beans. ”
Minister Yang muttered, "You can harvest ...... in October."
At this time, Yang Qian's father, Yang Chunliang, the director of the Gongtun Office, said boldly: "Xianggong, there is a shortage of manpower in the office, and if you plant rice, this water conservancy irrigation is quite important. Rice needs to be fertilized, and this land on the north shore is either dry or waterlogged, and the fertility is too poor, I am afraid that it will ......."
Yang Hedao: "It's okay, the field is waterlogged, lime can be applied to neutralize the acidity, as for the fertility of the field, I have potassium fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer, which will definitely improve soil fertility." According to my calculations, with the timely repair of water conservancy and a large amount of fertilizer, the yield per mu of rice should reach one stone and five buckets, and the yield of winter wheat per mu can also reach about one stone. ”
He said: "As for manpower, the Gongtun Office will recruit a ploughing team this year, and the number is set at 500. ”
Everyone took a breath, the yield of rice per mu is one stone and five buckets, and the winter wheat is one stone?
If that's the case, it's auspicious!
Daming intensive farming, if in the south of the Yangtze River, there was a mu of rice three stones, spring flowers one and a half stone of extremely familiar land.
But what is that field? It is Tongxiang, Kunshan and other places to supply the palace and officials to eat the "white grain" production area, many ordinary land in the south of the Yangtze River, rice can produce two stones per mu, wheat one stone is very good.
In Jiangbei, the rice yield per mu has one stone, which is also a snicker.
Yang Xianggong said that in Suining and Pizhou, the yield of rice per mu should reach one stone and five buckets?
Is this really okay?
At the same time, what did Yang Xianggong say just now, "A fertilizer, temporary fertilizer", what kind of fertilizer is that?
We've only heard of farmhouse fertilizer.
Yang He's small stick was put on the data of 20,000 acres of reclaimed fields, and he was ready to recruit 500 cultivators from the surrounding villages, about 30,000 acres of fields in Xin'anzhuang and Jiaoshanzhuang, and one person was about 60 acres of land.
This manpower is actually very bloated, if in later generations, those big grain growers, especially those big farms in the rice country, the highest cultivation record for one person is 18,000 mu.
Of course, that was the result of pure mechanization, which cannot be compared with this era.
There is no shortage of fields on the north bank, and the degree of salinity will be lighter than that on the south bank, but to have a good harvest, water conservancy construction is very important, otherwise even if the rivers and lakes are close at hand, it will be the result of heavy rain and heavy flooding, light rain and small waterlogging, and no rain and drought.
In order to make profits from drainage and irrigation, even if there are 20,000 acres of rice fields and wheat fields, the investment in them will not be less than 10,000 taels.
There are also very important fertilizers, potash and phosphate.
Crops lack potassium fertilizer, will get hypochondriasis, easy to fall down, often plagued by bacteria and pests, this fertilizer is easy to do, the remaining ash after the plant ash is fully burned.
The key is phosphate fertilizers.
Although there are phosphate mines nearby, there are no mining technicians in the first place.
Second, to process phosphate rock, a large amount of sulfuric acid needs to be used, and it is just a matter of making phosphate fertilizer industrially.
Let's use animal bones, especially marine fish bones, and it is time to lay out Haizhou and buy a large number of rotten fish.
For the time being, her hands are not so long, so she will contact the rough seas, presumably she will be happy to take this large order that has been stable for many years.
The fishermen and fishermen in Haizhou must be very happy to sell rotten fish and crabs that are usually regarded as garbage.
Therefore, a fertilizer factory should be set up under the Gongtun office.
When I planted rice, I was most afraid of insect pests, and I should set up a pesticide factory at that time.
But the most important thing is silver.
Only when there is money can we concentrate our financial resources to do great things.
He is also not interested in the inefficient measures of dividing the land into households, the productivity is too poor, and the ability to resist disasters is too weak.
Yang He plans to build a large farm and train all his subordinates to be soldiers and industrial workers.
Guanxin'an Zhuangmin, after a few months of eating in the canteen, no one is interested in suggesting that Yang Xianggong divide the fields and land.
After all, who has the ability to build water conservancy?
Without water conservancy, how to grow crops, I am afraid that after the hard work of the whole year, I will lose money, I can't eat enough and wear no warmth, how can I be comfortable now?
Now Daming is full of wasteland, and I don't see a few people going to open up the wasteland, but I see the continuous abandonment.
There is a truth, there are people who do the business of killing heads, but no one does the business of losing money. (To be continued.) )
