Chapter 391: A Mirror and a Thousand Cotton and Linen

Mayor Yao Mai's writing is much stronger than Yang Youxing's, and a series of side references, four or six prose, have said their responsibilities and plans. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In short, it is for the owner of Zhang Island to be the mayor.

This municipal building is a strange building in the Badaohe area, in fact, it is a brick and concrete four-story red brick building, and Zhang Guoan is not good at architecture.

Fortunately, he still knows about the relatively ordinary brick-concrete structure, so he can only ask for a simple and practical one.

He didn't ask for complicated things, but the craftsmen couldn't resist adding a row of animal heads to the roof edge...... How can this also be the yamen here, to have a sense of majesty.

That was made by craftsmen in their spare time, and it was hard for Zhang Guoan to say anything.

Later, only here did they know that everyone could enter this so-called city yamen...... There is no need for majesty at all.

After Mayor Yao Mai took office, Zhang Guoan's pressure was greatly reduced, and he no longer had to worry about trivial matters.

Throughout the winter, although it was a little hectic, Zhang Guoan felt that life began to become relaxed.

However, Zhang Guoan felt that there was a bottleneck in production capacity...... He knew that he was now lacking the motivation to limit his development......

This is another thing that there is no way to do, he and his craftsmen are difficult in machining, ordinary low-pressure boilers are okay, and it is difficult to die if they are higher to medium pressure.

There are also delicate problems in the steam room, which he can't solve.

Jing also persuaded him, why don't you turn on that lathe and practice slowly.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, thought for a long time and did not agree.

"Don't waste knives...... What if they come back? ”

"I don't think it's going to be able to come back, they should be happy over there."

"If you have money, you must be happy?"

"At least that's what Song Ziqiang thinks, and that wormhole is in his hands."

"It doesn't matter who owns it." Zhang Guoan chuckled and said, "It depends on what kind of society they live in...... I don't dare to say it to others, Wang Defa will not let Song Ziqiang leave his life, he will definitely watch it to death. ”

The husband and wife have also analyzed, and the most likely to come back is Wang Defa.

But not now.

At the beginning of spring in 1269, the weather was no different.

Moreover, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, and Jing Jing, can leisurely watch the farmers start spring ploughing and production.

In the end, they have cultivated a group of special talents for agriculture.

Now, the entire agricultural production is supervised by Banxiao Feng Zheng, and he has practiced many times, plus a winter of preparation, so the work process is very smooth, link by link.

They are now worried about their own fields.

Zhang Guoan is the largest landowner on the island, and his land is several times larger than that of other private fields combined.

He had promised to give the Great Song soldiers who had come with him, fields, buffaloes, and houses, and he did all of them. When they got separated, he didn't care about how people treated his private land, anyway, it was their own business.

The people who were assigned to the fields were not stupid, they planted what they made money, and they had already learned how to plant better, and they also took the initiative to buy those useful organic fertilizers and pesticides from Zhang Guoan...... This led him to slowly turn to the upstream industry of agricultural production.

The owner of Zhang Guoan is now very relieved that after completing the construction of the basic level of agriculture on Liuqiu Island, he can develop towards the most profitable industry.

Although he had the most land on the island, his dream was not to be a large landowner.

However, what also displeased him was that his industrial development had reached a bottleneck and could not be further improved.

He knew it was because of the problem of industrial prime mover.

Agriculturally, he can buy more buffaloes and mules and horses to solve, especially the harvest after the last battle, except for the military horses, most of the horses, he let agriculture to digest.

However, in industry, it is not suitable for the use of animal power.

Others, such as water and wind, are unstable, and even after the construction of a reservoir, the task of irrigation seems to be greater than that of industry.

The only solution is to rely on steam power.

At present, whether it is vacuum or atmospheric steam power, it can not be further developed, and it is too difficult to further from low pressure to medium pressure from steam power, and the requirements for machining are higher.

Director Hu Zhenbei had already understood the principle, but he could only rub his big hands and say that he could not process a more precise steam engine cavity.

Jing Jing once persuaded Zhang Guoan to open the sealed machine tool and try to practice by himself.

But he thought about it for a long time and refused, he wanted to leave it to his companions who came back, in case he broke the knife during the test drive, it would be too much loss.

Jing Jing said: "Guoan, will they come back?" I feel like they're living happily ever after in that world, and they can't come back. ”

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, sighed and said, "In that world, if you have money, you will definitely be happy?" ”

Quiet smiled lightly and said, "Ziqiang thinks so, and the wormhole is still in his hands." ”

"It doesn't matter who the wormhole is...... At least Wang Defa will definitely come back! ”

But now his friends haven't returned, and life has to go on.

The climate at the beginning of spring this year was somewhat dry, and there was little rain, and the people of Liuqiu Island began to be busy with spring ploughing and production.

The spring ploughing production of the Great Song Dynasty also started as scheduled, and last year's harvest was good, and they are even more motivated this year.

Now that they have new crops that are productive and effective, the increase in agricultural income is immediately apparent.

The Great Song Dynasty originally had the most developed agricultural technology in this time and space, and they were good at intensive farming, and if they added a little help from the outside world, then the speed of their agricultural development was amazing.

The increase in agricultural income made the Great Song Dynasty's financial situation even better, and if it had not been for the war, they might have cut taxes further.

The increase in agricultural income has also made the social economy more active, and the effect of Zhang Guoan's intention to help others develop agriculture has come out, and the sales of various commodities in demand have also increased.

In fact, such demand is the real demand, and the previous circulation of luxury goods can only be regarded as stimulating economic development, not really promoting commercial development.

Gu Jianshan and Guo Ziren took the account book to report the good news to Zhang Island, and they smiled and said: "Our customs tax has increased by more than 30% compared with the same period last year!" ”

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, looked at the tax items and found that most of them were common necessities...... This shows that the total demand of the Great Song Dynasty society has increased.

A mirror may be worth more than a thousand pieces of cotton and linen, but their role in socio-economic development is very different.

Zhang Guoan, the owner, prefers to develop the latter project, believing that the products that can be sold on a large scale are the ones that can really promote industrialization. (To be continued.) )
