Chapter 61: A Great Harvest
When autumn comes, the rainfall gradually decreases, and the temperature before the onset of winter is not high, but it is not low, which is considered the golden time for the progress of the project. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Yuanshan not only organized people to build passes, but also led the team to clean up the river everywhere, widening what should be widened, and deepening what should be deepened, all of which were considered for the large-scale ships entering and leaving the channel in the future.
A few days after the foundation of the pass was poured, another good news came: Song Yingxing came.
Liu Dafeng went to distant Jiangxi, Song Yingxing was still the Song Yingxing who was obsessed with manufacturing and primitive science in history, and he failed to withstand the temptation of the steam engine, and came to Fang County with Liu Da.
Song Yingxing is short, about forty years old, wearing a Confucian hat on his head, and a long shirt on his body, like a student.
"You are the young master of the Liu family, Liu Yuanshan?" Attributed to the Ming Dynasty's contempt for businessmen, Song Yingxing actually didn't have a good impression when he first saw this little one.
"Yes, Mr. Song has come from thousands of miles away, and he has worked hard all the way, please, I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for Mr." Liu Yuanshan respectfully made a student salute and introduced Song Yingxing into the living room.
Although Song Yingxing worked hard all the way, he would not starve, at this moment his mood had already flown to the body of the steam engine, where did he have any intention to eat, just after eating a few bites casually, he said to Liu Yuanshan: "Okay, I'm done eating, I don't know if Liu Gongzi can fulfill his promise and let Song someone have a look at the maneuvering technique?" ”
Liu Yuanshan played the true character of a hooligan and said, "What promise?" ”
"Forehead......" Song Yingxing took a deep breath, pointed to Liu Da under the hall and said: "This is the person who lied to me to come here, saying that once I arrived in Fang County, he would show me the maneuvering technique!" ”
"Oh......" Liu Yuanshan nodded and said, "Naturally, no problem, Mr. Song is talking about this!" ”
Liu Yuanshan got up and took out a small model of a steam engine in the living room.
"Yes, yes, this is it!" When Song Yingxing saw the steam engine, two divine rays shot out of his eyes, and he couldn't move away anymore, "It's this thing, it's this thing, that day the old man didn't see the doorway of this thing, so he was destroyed by this hateful subordinate and thrown into the river, it's really a tyrannical thing." ”
"Huh!" Liu Yuanshan took out a candle and lit it, put it under the small boiler and heated it for a while, and after gently adding the starting force with his hand, the steam engine "clicked" and rotated.
"What does Mr. Song think of this thing?" Liu Yuanshan asked, pointing to the steam engine.
"Good, Great Goodness!" Song Yingxing looked at the steam engine and said, "If it is used to absorb water from the river for irrigation, it will definitely work ten times and a hundred times better, and benefit the people I don't know how much." ”
"What else?" Liu Yuanshan asked with a smile.
"And?" Song Yingxing thought for a while, and then said: "It is used for grinding, which can save the power of people and animals!" ”
"Not bad!" Liu Yuanshan smiled again, Song Yingxing can have this insight, it is still extraordinary, he doesn't expect this thing to be able to think of the steam engine on the steamship car, after all, these things are not so easy to associate in ancient times.
"Although my maneuvering technique is a small path, it is also quite complicated and difficult to understand, Mr. Song wants to understand it thoroughly, it is not an overnight effort, please Mr. live down first, and study it slowly!" Liu Yuanshan stretched out his hand to take the steam engine away and handed it to Liu Da: "Put it away." ”
He took out a book on the basics of physics from the cabinet and handed it to Song Yingxing: "Sir, take a look at these things first!" ”
"Huh?" Song Yingxing was very dissatisfied with Liu Da taking away the steam engine, but he couldn't stop it, so he had to say to Liu Da with a black face: "Be careful, don't break it!" "It's like his own stuff.
After speaking, he picked up the book that Liu Yuanshan sent to him, turned a page and read it.
Just after reading the first page, Song Yingxing couldn't raise his head anymore.
Even, if there was no one beside him, Liu Yuanshan by his side did not exist.
"Huh!" Liu Yuanshan didn't mind, didn't he want this effect, "Sir, take your time, if you have any questions, you can come and ask me, I still have something to do, I'll go and get busy first." ”
"Good!" Song Yingxing didn't look up, he responded to Liu Yuanshan, suddenly realized something, raised his head again, his face was serious, and he said in a solemn tone: "The art of maneuvering is definitely not a small road, this is a big road!" ”
After speaking, he looked down at the revised junior high school physics textbook.
"Good, Dadao, Dadao!" Liu Yuanshan responded happily, and then went out.
You walked to the outside of Liu Da's dormitory, called him out, and said, "Liu Da, there is something important, please run for a trip!" ”
"Yes, young master!" Liu Da bowed his head and asked, "I don't know what is important?" ”
"Give you two days to rest, and after two days, go to Fengxin County, Jiangxi, and take all the family members of Lord Song, just say that Lord Song is an official here, and I am afraid that I will not be able to leave for a while!"
"Yes, young master!"
……
Autumn is a harvest day.
It should also be a season full of joy, but many ordinary people in the Ming Empire do not have a sense of happiness, they are struggling on the death line, struggling with hunger.
In the third year of Chongzhen, there was a great drought in Shaanxi, thousands of miles of red land, and people competed for food Guanyin soil, and even Yizi ate it.
Fang County, located in Xiangyang Prefecture, has miraculously ushered in a bumper harvest this year.
This was no ordinary harvest, a better harvest than any previous year.
Take the more than 100 acres of land in Liu Yuanshan's house, excluding the plots where peppers and other miscellaneous vegetables are planted, there are 70 or 80 acres of rice, and these 70 or 80 acres of land, according to the output of previous years, can produce a total of 120 stones of rice, which is considered good, but this year, under the scientific and technological power of Liu Yuanshan's self-made soil and fertilizer, it has produced a full 400 stones of coarse rice.
Of course, even in households that do not have soil and fertilizer, the yield of rice in the field is as much as double.
"It's really a bumper harvest, this year's tax revenue will definitely be much better, the people of our Fang County don't have to go hungry anymore, even if there are thousands more homeless people now, they can still feed!" The more grain there is, the more beneficial it will be for future development, and Liu Yuanshan is naturally sincerely happy.
Liu Xin in front of him looked sad, shook his head from time to time, and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy!" ”
"What's not easy?" Liu Yuanshan asked.
Liu Xin, the county leader, has almost become Liu Yuanshan's current highest-ranking staff.
"A good harvest is not necessarily a good thing!" Liu Xin took a deep breath and said, "Childe, have you heard that Gu is cheap and hurts farmers!" ”
