Zhang Han turned to Tian Jitang and said with a smile: "Lao Tian, do you agree?" ”

Tian Jitang smiled bitterly and said: "My lord has done such a thing, no one in the imperial court and the government has ever done it, this is a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good, can I object." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Zhang Han's policy is only aimed at the core places of Tiancheng Zhenyu Liangwei and Lingqiu Guangling, and it will not go far beyond the area of Lingqiu and Yanghewei, and even within thirty miles of the core area of Lizhuang, the maximum cost is several thousand silver a year, and the pressure on Tian Jitang is really not great.

As for the benefits of enrolling children in school, there are so many benefits that people know very well.

Children have been raised since childhood, Zhang Han visits and lectures from time to time, of course, Zhang Han is very respected in the school, words and deeds are to push Zhang Han in a very high position, grace and publicity, these children come out after a few years of study, whether they are in the army, into the workshop, or as an official, the loyalty to Zhang Han can be imagined.

Moreover, the school with Yusheng is becoming more and more divided into different types of education professionals, compared with those children who have studied in private schools since childhood, after integrating into the group of Yusheng, it is more effective and easier to integrate.

At this time, a large group of people came from the east side of the field, and when they got closer, they found that they were pushing a gun cart in the field, the artillery was about a nine-pounder gun, and there were also several twelve-pounder guns, and the gun body was much heavier than the four-pounder and six-pounder guns, and these cannons were difficult to pull with horses like six-pounder guns, and then there were ammunition trucks attached to the back to rush on the battlefield, and these guns needed more horses to pull, such as six to eight horses for twelve-pounder guns, and the ammunition carts had to be pulled by a few more horses, and the artillery crew followed on foot. If you encounter difficult terrain, you need the artillery crew to help push and pull.

Now this terrain is to be pushed and pulled by the artillery crew, the field is frozen at this time, the surface is the whole clods of soil, but the bottom is very muddy, the artillery crew is very difficult to walk, the wheels of the artillery and the hem of people's boots and robes are all hung with mud, and it is very difficult to walk.

Zhang Shixiong said at this time: "The artillery crew is conducting multi-terrain marching training, which is used to measure the average marching speed of various complex terrains. ”

The merchant army was originally equipped with a four-pounder gun, and then began to install a six-pounder gun, and the final reaction in the army was that the six-pounder gun was about the same as the four-pounder gun in terms of firepower output and distance, and the effectiveness was not high in striking the enemy who was farther away, and finally the military division decided to launch a nine-pounder gun and a twelve-pounder gun, and the twelve-pounder gun was almost the limit of field artillery, pulled by eight horses, and the gun body weighed more than 3,000 catties.

The army still plans to install a large number of four-pounder guns and six-pounder guns, the effective range of this kind of cannon is 600 to 800 meters, with a small number of nine-pounder guns and twelve-pounder guns, and will also try to cast some eighteen-pounder guns or even twenty-four-pounder guns.

This kind of cannon is mostly used in the ship's naval artillery, the Ming Dynasty came up to cast such a heavy cannon, of course the level of the cannon is not low, but it really went the wrong way at the beginning, after all, it was a cannon fished up from the Portuguese shipwreck, and the role of the garrison city was the main, the cannon cast was too cumbersome, and lost its original function.

Zhang Han walked towards the artillery team in the field, and saw Tang Ruowang and others limping in front of the team, obviously walking too much, and blood blisters appeared on their feet.

Zhang Han said with a smile: "Mr. Tang still don't follow the artillery team, your important thing is to teach and solve technical matters, as well as the books entrusted to you to continue to translate, it is very important." You can see that your feet are blistered, it's too hard. ”

Tang Ruowang walked over with a limp, with a smile on his face: "I get used to walking after a long time on the march, I have experience, the cocoons on my feet can't be stopped when they are broken, and if I continue to walk, I will form a cocoon again, and if I have a thick callus, I am not afraid to walk far." ”

Zhang Han nodded and said: "What Mr. Tang said is that most of our soldiers are like this, the new army will bleed from their feet during the day, and then they will continue to walk the next day, and they will not be afraid of the next time." ”

Tang Ruowang endured the pain and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I would go so far after many years...... At the beginning, I went from Beijing to Quang Ninh to preach, and I walked back and forth, and then I built the Nantang in Jingshi, and I didn't walk for several years, and this time it was really humiliating. ”

Zhang Han smiled and said, "No matter what, the spirit of the missionaries is commendable. ”

Tang Ruowang tried to see if Zhang Han would allow them to build a church here, but Zhang Han was obviously noncommittal, so he could only sigh secretly and give up this idea.

Zhang Han's attitude is also very simple, because of the Nanjing teaching case, the missionaries came to Datong, Zhang Han is very happy and welcomes the knowledge reserve and practical use of these guys, but if they are missionaries, they are still exempted.

Chinese say that it is to worship God is also to do ten, in front of this field out of the ridge of the small intersection there is a small land temple, there is a ancestral hall and a small temple in the village, there are many temples in the Tiancheng Acropolis, Taoist, Buddhist, basically the people worship when they see God.

However, it is rare to say that God is not worshiped in various ethnic groups, and God is worshiped if it is useful, and put it away if it is useless, and there are very few fanatical believers like monotheism.

Even so, Zhang Han does not plan to let go of missionary work, China has its own heritage, and does not use religion to solidify people's hearts.

There is a martyr's shrine in Lizhuang, which enshrines the incense of the fallen soldiers, day and night, and the pension is generous, which is enough.

Tang Ruowang said curiously: "Lord Zhang is in the field, but he is paying attention to the agricultural affairs of the spring?" ”

Zhang Han said with a smile: "Exactly, after the beginning of spring, I plan to plant rice in these hundreds of thousands of acres of land near Lizhuang, some of which have to wait for wheat harvest, and some of which are fallow land. ”

Tang Ruowang said: "It seems that after the diversion of the canal, the water conservancy has been improved, but there is almost no experience in rice cultivation here in Datong, right?" When I was in the south of the Ming Dynasty, I saw a season of rice and a season of wheat, and here in the north, a season of wheat and a season of beans or millet and other dryland crops. ”

Tang Ruowang understood everything, Zhang Han praised it in his heart, then smiled, and said: "Although Datong does not grow rice here, it has been tried since last year, and the harvest is excellent, higher than wheat." In the south, along the Huai River, wheat is also grown in the highlands and rice in the lowlands, but it is not necessarily said that rice cannot be grown in the north, and the climate and land conditions are not much different. In the past, the main reason for not planting rice was water shortage, especially in recent years, when natural disasters were serious, but now our water diversion project has done a good job, and the rice has matured with two crops and one crop of wheat and one crop of rice in a year. ”

Tang Ruowang's face showed a contemplative look, he said: "When I was in Liaodong, I saw that the paddy fields in the lowlands were barren for half a year after harvesting rice, and let the grass grow, but also because I was afraid that the paddy fields would be flooded, and the wheat would be soaked in water, and there would be no harvest at all...... Congratulations, sir. ”

"Except for waterlogging." Zhang Han said: "It is also related to the lack of fertility of the land, before my Ming Dynasty, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and we had land fallow, which is different from Europe, planting a year of land and resting for a year, accumulating land fertility, if you plant wheat for half a year and rice for half a year, the land fertility is insufficient, and now the problem has been solved." ”

John Tang looked at the people around him who were applying dung, and said sincerely: "It's true that there is no trivial matter between farmlands, and John has been taught." ”

Zhang Han has always been the attitude that grain is the top priority, and although He Yusheng has been buying grain and storing grain, the recent increase in sales has significantly reduced the inventory.

In addition, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians reclaimed wasteland, and tens of thousands of workers have to eat, the entire grain trading industry in Datong is equivalent to being controlled by He Yusheng, and the food supply of hundreds of thousands of people in the core area must be counted, and grain is indeed very important.

In the northern grasslands, a considerable amount of land will be used to plant cotton, corn, sweet potatoes, sorghum and other drought-tolerant crops, and staple grains will also be planted, but the quantity will not increase in a short period of time.

From Li Zhuang to Lingqiu, the land controlled by He Yusheng is more than one million mu, which is a very large number, and if it is managed properly, it can be of great use.

Zhang Han felt that it was also a bit risky to try to plant rice here in Shanxi, after all, the people had never planted it, and if it wasn't for the fact that they had bought all the bones and skins, they wouldn't know how difficult it would be to promote it among the people.

The Chinese people are the most able to endure hardships, but due to their own experience and vision, as well as the limitations of knowledge dissemination, it is not an exaggeration for many people to say that the villagers are stupid.

Last year, we started trial planting, and this year we plan to plant rice on all the fallow land and most of the acres of land, and then plant wheat after the rice harvest, and as long as the fertility of the land is ensured, the harvest will not be too low.

According to Kong Minxing's experiments and calculations, an average of four stones per mu of rice can be harvested, and five or six stones can be harvested if the yield is high, which is still worse than the maximum eight stones per mu in Huguang, but compared with the situation that the north is generally affected, the average mu of land is only one stone or even lower, which is already a great improvement.

In the future, more than one million mu of fertile land will be able to receive 2 million stone of grain for the military division in one season, 200 to 3 million stone of wheat in another season, and 5 or 6 million stone of staple grain plus miscellaneous grains a year in storage, which is already more than the total amount of grain transported by the Beijing division of 4 million stone a year.

Ming to a country's national strength, every year to spend a significant amount of financial resources, manpower and material resources, mobilize a large number of ships from the south to transport grain to the north, a year is three or four million stone grain, in Zhang Juzheng when the country, Tongzhou grain for the first time more than 10 million stone grain reserves, these decades, Zhang Juzheng Yu Yin is still there, no matter how the north is affected by the lack of food, but the Beijing division has always maintained a considerable stability, Chongzhen years Jingshi does not know how many times has been surrounded, do not know how many people run to Beijing to take refuge, but the grain reserves are always enough, It was enough for Chongzhen to reach seventeen years, and he did not die because of lack of food.

With so much income, coupled with the daily purchase of reserves from other places, no matter how successful the reclamation of the north is in the future, even if Zhang Han raises hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, there will be enough food.

Tang Ruowang didn't know much about deep things, and listening to Zhang Han's words, he just didn't seem to understand.
