The local military groups played a useful role in wartime for the Great Song Dynasty to defend against the invasion of Tatar bandits, but it was not conducive to the present peacetime.

An image appeared in Jia Laogou's mind, with the help of the kind of railway that Commander Fa Ke was talking about, and with the help of the smoking riverboat that could move automatically on Liuqiu Island------ the entire Great Song Dynasty was suddenly closely linked.

However, Jia Laogou believes that now is not the best time to start integration, because the threat of Tatar bandit groups still exists.

The scheming Zhang Island Lord was also reluctant to start a war.

In fact, Zhang Daozhu really wronged the wisdom of the politicians of the Great Song Dynasty, they are not stupid at all, they know who is the most dangerous enemy and who is the friend who can be used.

They are just addicted to tricks, and they always want to create a scene of watching the fire from the other side or sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

A politician who doesn't know how to scheming is not a good politician, but just a vulgar outsider------ of course, people who always like to engage in scheming will also doubt whether other people's every move is a plan.

Jia Laogou thought for a while, and after confirming that the object introduced was beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, he agreed to the request of the commander of Fa Ke.

He also listened carefully to the actions of the Great Song Dynasty officials in the Imperial Firearms Camp------ and the current officials liked to be closer to the military camp than Song Duzong, which was a good thing.

Jia Laogou gave instructions, to the effect that as the royal army of the Great Song Dynasty, the Imperial Firearms Battalion is the army with the best conditions in all aspects, and its primary role is to accompany the Great Song Dynasty officials, and loyalty is the only requirement.

In the end, Jia Laogou also asked him a trivial matter, saying that he heard that he sent his son to Liuqiu Primary School to study, and asked his wife to accompany him------ why did he do this.

Commander Fako explained that he had read the books published on the island and thought that only by learning the knowledge there could he truly learn to use the objects of the island in the future.

Jia Laogou said meaningfully: "Businessmen value profit over righteousness------"

Commander Fa Ke hurriedly expressed his position, saying that of course he would notice this, but after letting the child learn for a while, he would be able to come back soon.

Jia Laogou nodded in approval, and then hinted that the Great Song official family is still young now, and he likes to play by nature, so it is better to help him find some children of the same age to accompany him in the barracks------ of course, it is best to choose some of his own children to rest assured.

Commander Faco immediately said he understood.

In the next few days, Jia Laogou fell into the trouble of court dispute again, it turned out that some of the young talents he selected were in the process of rebuilding Bianjing City and Shanxi Road, and several people were engaged in corruption and bribery, and they were caught by their opponents------

Jia Laogou has a big headache about this, young people have work motivation, as long as they go through a certain amount of exercise, they will be their right-hand man in the future, but when they take on a certain amount of work alone and have their own power, they are also easy to be tempted!

If you don't pursue a good future, you want to be greedy for a few small amounts of money in front of you, which is really speechless.

Of course, Jia Laogou also has his own countermeasures, and a few days later, he asked people to expose several people in the other party's faction who also had corruption and bribery, and also took down the other party's people.

After a period of struggle, the two sides continued to fight in a stalemate and re-entered a dynamic equilibrium.

The non-governmental newspapers controlled by the two sides often abuse each other, I oppose what you want, I suggest it, you deny it------ but let the Empress Dowager Xie easily watch the battle from the sidelines, she is very satisfied with the current situation.

Jia Laogou's proposal to introduce a railway to Liuqiu Island was finally denied by his opponent, the reason is very simple, not to mention that the construction of the railway will disturb the people and hurt money, and in the end I don't know if it will have an effect, it is better to wait for the completion of Liuqiu Island, and it is better to dredge the North-South Canal with all its might.

Jia Laogou was so angry that his eyes were blue, but he had no choice but to scold his opponent for being a bunch of short-sighted guys.

After a while, the opponent proposed again, saying that there were several Tusi in the Dali area who did not obey the discipline, and it was better to send a part of the army to deter.

Jia Laogou jumped out at this time, he did not oppose for the sake of opposition, but took the opportunity to mobilize the forces of several local warlords close to the opponent------ who knew that the other party also thought the same, and the two sides began another round of smoky battle.

The full defense of the civilian officials against the military generals was the political tradition of the Great Song Dynasty, and on this point, the two sides of the battle had the same opinion, but which part of the military generals to attack first was the key to their struggle.

Many people who eat melons in the Great Song Dynasty are very interested in the ugly incidents of some local military generals that suddenly appeared in the newspapers------ in the past, civilian officials often had corruption and bribery, and now those military generals have also done bad things, which is really annoying!

The owner of Liuqiu Island did not care about the dirty things that happened in the Great Song Dynasty, and what made him happy was that the development of the southern plain of Liuqiu Island had reached a new level, and the sale of paddy fields there had entered a new climax------ and many big merchants and families of the Great Song Dynasty came to buy again, and the people still brought their own labor.

Zhang is the most fond of this kind of land annexation, which can lead to a significant increase in agricultural production efficiency, and can use organic fertilizers, organic pesticides and animal power to cultivate and harvest on a large scale.

Zhang has a map of the southern plains of Liuqiu Island drawn by the Liuqiu Air Force hot air balloon, and according to the map, nearly half of the area suitable for conversion into paddy fields has not been developed.

The work of selling paddy fields is still very difficult.

Wang Defa's family is worried about agricultural development in the Wenlai estuary area of Borneo, where the water and heat conditions are better than those of Liuqiu Island, and as long as organic fertilizers keep up, it is completely easy to grow three crops of rice.

Wang Defa's family said: "Lao Zhang, are we selling at a high price? Or change it to a penny per acre? ”

Zhang Island Lord said: "Don't worry, if you cut the price like this, then there will be no advantage on the Australian side------ the cotton fields on the Hokkaido side, no one wants to give people tax exemption for three years, it's not that it's worthless, but the people of the Great Song Dynasty don't see the benefits and don't want to invest easily!"

When did you take out the pot camel machine rice transplanter to break this bottleneck! ”

When the rice is about to ripen, there is a process of draining and drying the field, so that after that, it is very suitable for the application of horse-drawn harvester technology, and a horse can easily reach 16 to 20 people to harvest.

With the reduction of horse prices, there was no need to take the initiative to implement it on Liuqiu Island, and the farmers of the Great Song Dynasty learned this technique very quickly.

However, the biggest bottleneck in paddy field planting is rice planting, which is a kind of labor that can exhaust people, and it is precisely this that restricts the development of rice industry.

Buffalo and horses are not suitable for entering the paddy field to pull the rice transplanter, so they can only find a way from the pot camel machine.

Wang Defa grinned, he was really born in the machining industry like Song Ziqiang.

He had never heard of a pot-camel rice transplanter.

Zhang said: "I know that this thing has not appeared in history, you can take a look, if this is successful, I am afraid that it will be as useful as our train------ only in this way can we sell more paddy fields and recruit more people." ”
