readx;?“ Food, clothing, housing and transportation, this is what the people must have, and its importance is also arranged in this order, we must first solve the first three articles of the people before we can start to develop the 'line' article, otherwise, even if we make steam power, it will not be promoted. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info In fact, even if the miscellaneous rice is successful, it is not appropriate for us to make steam power. Nowadays, the development and output of various minerals in Datang is extremely limited, and we can't make so many machines, so we also need to study mining technology. But I have other uses for developing steam power, and it doesn't matter if it's small, and when we make a big ship that will take us to the other side of the sea, there are countless treasures, and then bring some back from there, which is more precious than anything else. ”

Aren't you talking about steam power? Why did it suddenly become a big ship again? Wang Haoran's longing made everyone confused.

Zhao Wenshan asked, "Little Master, how do you know that there are countless treasures on the other side of the sea?" ”

Everyone looked at Wang Haoran curiously, logically speaking, Wang Haoran could not know the situation on the other side of the sea, but he said it so surely, this is really incomprehensible.

Regarding this matter, Wang Haoran didn't really say anything, he just planned to let this group of people know about it first, because he also had a plan, that is, to relocate to the beach again after the spread of miscellaneous rice. In the future, if you want to build a big ship, you will have to rely on the sea, and you can grow two crops of rice a year, which is extremely beneficial to speeding up the process of studying the three-line method.

Another reason why Wang Haoran was anxious to bring up the matter of shipbuilding was that the Japanese people would soon send students to Tang to study. In this case, Wang Haoran must teach them more, such as the culture and thought of the Tang Dynasty, and by the way, he also sent people over there to do business, money, grain, brothels, etc. It's better to be able to learn the surnames and Chinese characters in the past, even if they don't learn them, Wang Haoran must find a way to let them learn them. As for the Mao people, Wang Haoran felt that they were quite pitiful, they were originally aborigines of the RB Islands, but they were driven to the north by outsiders to survive, and they had to help them. As for how to help, Wang Haoran hasn't thought about it yet, of course, he is already not good at coming forward in person, but he plans to become a pro-Japanese faction, and then he has to choose someone else to succeed.

Speaking of the distance, let's go back to Zhao Wenshan's question. Wang Haoran already had a manuscript, and said mysteriously: "Let me tell you a top secret thing, there is an old man in my research team who once encountered a small boat on the seaside, and there was a strange-looking corpse on it, and the old man found something from the boat, which the old man called a potato." He took it to plant, but unfortunately due to the flood, the potatoes were rotten in the ground. According to the old man's estimate, the yield of potatoes per mu is at least 300 catties. ”

"What about potatoes?" Zhao Wenshan was surprised.

"Of course, I heard that it tastes good."

"The old man you said was too careless! Such an important thing, not to mention floods, fires have to be rescued! Zhao Wenshan said bitterly.

He didn't know that the potato yield was so high, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but then he beat his chest when he found out. This was the greatest regret of his life, which is why I was asked to go to sea in search of potatoes in the future. ”

"But the sea is endless, how did that man come here?" Chen Jun: They are not so easy to fool.

This issue has also been studied in the research team. They believed that the waters of the sea also flowed according to certain rules, and that the strange man happened to encounter the current and drifted over. ”

"If the water goes low, to the lowest, can it still flow?" Yu Zhaojun asked.

"It can also flow from cold to hot, and these may be studied later."

"Then what am I doing?" Wang Qihong asked.

"Brother Qi, I want to hand over the cotton matter to you."

"How many acres of cotton can you plant?" Wang Qihong was a little unhappy.

"Haha...... Seventh brother, I don't plan to grow cotton myself. This matter is so important that I will discuss it with me in private. Wang Haoran said to Xu Mian again: "Xu Mian, you continue to study alloys, but you still have to add a task, there are many metals other than gold, silver, copper and iron in this world, you try to find and refine them." ”

After everyone left, Wang Haoran left Wang Qihong alone and asked, "Does Seventh Brother know Gaochang?" ”

"I've heard it, what does this have to do with cotton?"

"Today's emperor is already good at expanding his territory, and now that he has new weapons, he is also very ambitious, and he will inevitably use force around the Tang Dynasty, so casualties are inevitable."

"Now that Datang has new weapons, and the casualties are also people of other races, why should you be bothered? It's out of your control. ”

"Definitely! The foreign races that surrender through military oppression will inevitably become a hidden danger in the future, and when the time comes, the Tang Dynasty will also suffer. ”

"This is a matter for the imperial court, how can we control it?"

"We can't really do anything, but we still have to do what we can do." Wang Haoran said, "So I plan for you to manage Gaochang's propaganda planting and purchase of cotton, so that the people in the court can realize that the battlefield does not necessarily have to be wolf-smoked." ”

"You've made me a little vague, what does our business have to do with the battlefield?"

"Let's take Gaochang as an example, we are buying cotton at a high price over there and selling grain at the same time. They don't grow cotton for much profit, what do you think the people over there will choose to plant? ”

"You want to control Gao Chang's lifeblood in this way? I'm afraid they're not stupid, right? ”

"If you don't try, how do you know if it won't work? If they don't pay attention to it until a few years later, it's too late. Besides, I'm not just doing this, there is no way to grow cotton on a large scale in Datang, and if I want to develop cotton products, I have to find a source of supply. Anyway, you can't lose it, so why not? ”

"Then why do you have to choose Gaochang?" Wang Qihong began to feel that there was something to be done in this matter.

"The rest of the places are either unsuitable for growing cotton, or they are places where His Majesty will soon be subjugated, except for Gaochang, which is still a few years away. His Majesty has agreed to my plan and has promised to cooperate with us. ”

"It's just that Gaochang is far away from here, and this matter is a long-term solution, I'm afraid my father won't agree, and besides, the thing he told me to grow vegetables hasn't been done yet......," Wang Qihong hesitated.

"These are not problems, Dad let you grow vegetables just to let you practice, I have a bigger platform for you to practice, I'm afraid he won't agree? Besides, this matter only requires you to go to Gaochang to make arrangements in the early stage, and when everything is arranged, you can go back to Chang'an to strategize. The question is whether you want to go or not. ”

"If Dad agrees, then he is naturally willing to try." Wang Qihong suddenly felt that he had grown up and could start worrying about the affairs of the court.

"That's it, I'll have someone send a letter back tomorrow to tell my dad about it. But you have to be mentally prepared, with my understanding of my father and aunt, I think he will let you marry first. ”

"Parents' orders, it's okay." Wang Qihong said calmly, but his heart was full of expectations.

Wang Haoran saw Wang Qihong's unbearable joy, and suddenly remembered a sentence from later generations: My big knife has long been hungry and thirsty!

The next day, Wang Haoran sent a letter to Wang Furen. Soon he received a reply from Wang Furen, just as Wang Haoran guessed, Wang Furen wanted to go back to get married before going to Gaochang. For this reason, Wang Haoran replied to a letter, saying that in order for Wang Qihong to marry a girl with a better background, he deliberately postponed the matter of going to Gaochang until next year, because Wang Qihong and others had only reported to Li Shimin not long ago that Wang Qihong's reputation would need to ferment for some time before it could be erected. also put forward a request for Wang Qihong, the woman must be beautiful enough, and must not lower this requirement because of her life experience, with Wang Furen's family wealth and Wang Qihong's achievements, Wang Qihong can find a girl with a good background and good looks. As for whether she is virtuous or not, there is no need to worry too much, no matter how open-minded the Tang Dynasty is, there will not be a few merry young women like Princess Changguang.

Wang Furen was overjoyed after receiving the letter, firstly, because his eldest son finally made some fame, and secondly, because he saw that these two brothers could love each other, and not like his two brothers, if it weren't for the old man, I was afraid that they would not be able to get along with each other.
