Chapter 46: Misunderstanding
Although Yuan Yingtai repeatedly warned Shen Jia not to plant the Borderlands indiscriminately, Shen Jia did not seem to intend to accept this warning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Jia continued to let the Ming army around him urge those workers to sow a large amount of wheat, corn, and potatoes into the field under the ill-intentioned eyes of others. Yuan Yingtai was furious about this, but Yang Lian persuaded him: "Fushun was originally a guard house, and most of the surrounding land belonged to military households. ”
Yuan Yingtai heard other meanings from Yang Lian's words, that is, Yang Lian planned to treat Shen Jia as a military general. Since he is a military general, he will inevitably be pinched in the hands of civil officials in the future, thinking of this, Yuan Yingtai also stopped objecting.
The great cause of sowing, which was suspended because of the trial and rumors, was carried out again under the supervision of Shen Jia. Potatoes have been introduced to Shenzhou during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Jia didn't expect that a few soldiers who were assigned were familiar with potato planting, so he asked Chen Ce to grab it, and the angry Chen Ce scolded Shen Jia for digging people and digging him on his head, which was really slippery.
Shen Jia smiled, and said in his heart, let's two and a half catties and eight taels.
The planting of corn is a little embarrassing, corn was introduced to China late, and no one understands. Shen Jia has never been a farmer, and after thinking about it for a long time, he has no idea.
However, I have never eaten pork, I have finally seen pigs run, and when Shen Jia passed through the countryside in his previous life, he saw corn plants growing in the wind. Thinking of this, Shen Jia instructed the farmers to put two corn seeds every foot.
Shen Jia started from the idea of planting trees, thinking that corn is almost like this, and for the sake of insurance, he still puts two seeds at each acupuncture point to improve the probability of growth.
Even though there is a lot of labor around him, Shen Jia doesn't mind removing the seedlings that are not growing well in the same acupuncture point when the corn seedlings grow to two inches high, leaving a seedling that grows well. This is not only safe, but also in line with the basic idea of biological breeding and screening, and it seems that Mendel also started in this way.
As for wheat, it is cultivated in a large area in the north, and hundreds of acres have been sown a few days ago.
In the past two days, some nearby farmers have also been sowing, and Shen Jia has found an interesting thing, that is, the fertilizer of the Ming people is mainly oil squeezing dry cakes. Shen Jia felt that some eggs hurt, oil is relatively expensive, even the dregs of oil extraction are not easy to get.
Although Shen Jia has great confidence in the seeds cultivated in later generations, there is a lack of industrial fertilizers, and it is tantamount to a fantasy to want to increase production on a large scale.
Shen Jia thought of a text in the early years in which Mr. Peng personally went into the water to fish for pond mud as fertilizer during the Great Leap Forward, and felt that this was a good way. However, at this time, the ice and snow had just melted, and the pond mud was not so easy to dig, so Shen Jia decided to wait for the hot weather in June and July to get it
The remaining fertilizer mainly came from the urine and feces of people in the city, as well as the ashes of charcoal burning and the thick humus layer of soil in the woods, and Shen Jia did not hesitate to send a large number of laborers, strong women, and even children to collect these fertilizers.
Shen Jia's crazy actions puzzled most people, especially the homeless people who dragged dung dung trucks through the streets and alleys every day, and the consequence of this was that the homeless people in the city changed his title of "Silver Gun Overlord" to "Dirty Silver Gun Little Overlord".
Shen Jia still ignored the rumors, but fortunately, the three Shangguan saw that Shen Jia had solved the problem of food and employment for the homeless, and they were happy not to ask.
Only Xiong Manzi pulled Shen Jia's sleeve unrelentingly, saliva sprayed his face, and kept roaring: "Stinky boy, you quickly say that this is a good city wall, why do you have to dig a wide opening, if you don't pay attention to what you say, see that the old man doesn't beat you to death." ”
Xiong Manzi not only has a very powerful mouth, but judging from his angry trembling hand, I am afraid that he is not a good stubble. Shen Jia hurriedly asked Brother Xiao Jia to take the cement pier for the test, handed it to the surprised bear barbarian, turned around and left.
"Hey, stinky boy, you haven't made it clear yet, you want to run, it's not so easy, come on, catch him for me"
The two Ming soldiers flashed out from behind Xiong Manzi, and they were about to grab Shen Jia's arm and capture him back.
Shen Jia heard the movement behind him, turned around, spread his arms to the sides, and walked back again.
Shen Jia turned his head, looked at the Ming army on the right in confusion, and smiled at Xiong Manzi: "Old Xiong, you are old, where did you find such a thin soldier, no wonder my junior sister was able to beat you so happily last time." ”
The matter of Xiong Manzi's beating can't be mentioned, and when Xiong Manzi is mentioned, his face is red.
Shen Jia's words made Xiong Tingbi can't help but think of the girl he met in the barracks, so his hand unconsciously rubbed his stomach.
The Ming Jun on the right behind Shen Jia had a red face, his eyes flashed with anger, and he said in his heart This bastard actually put his hand across my chest, he is really an out-and-out flower thief.
The Ming army on the right stretched out his hand and pretended to hit Shen Jia on the back of the head in mid-air, Xiong Tingbi saw it in his eyes, he didn't care about rubbing his stomach, and hurriedly said: "Little Brother Shen, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Xiong Lao, what do you mean by this stone pier?" ”
Shen Jia originally felt that there seemed to be a noise behind him, and wanted to turn his head to take a look, but Xiong Manzi asked him, so he said lazily: "This is the new type of city building material I made, I plan to use this to repair the city wall, and build some fortresses for Fushun defense, if you don't understand the fortresses, you can go to General Chen and ask." ”
Shen Jia's face was impatient, and his words were cold, but Xiong Manzi was not angry.
Xiong Tingbi lowered his head and observed the stone piers underground, and after a while, he said: "Little Brother Shen really has insight, presumably the fortress is not bad, the old man will go to Chen Ce to ask." ”
After that, Xiong Manzi waved his hand and went to find Chen Ce with great interest, neither speaking ill nor being as sour as he imagined, but acting simply and neatly.
Sending Xiong Manzi away, Shen Jia began to find Wang Erxiao, the person in charge of the repair of the city wall, to learn about the use of cement.
I thought that I would be praised by Wang Erxiao, but I didn't expect Wang Erxiao to say in the first sentence: "The masonry structure is fine, and the protrusion of the fortress needs to withstand structural pressure." At present, the main thing is to dig the wall to fit the old city wall, and it is difficult for the protrusion of the fortress to completely integrate with the old wall. ”
Shen Jia was a little hurt when he heard this, he was not an expert in civil engineering, and he knew very little about it. Considering that in the previous life, buildings were prefabricated with cement and mixed with steel bars to resist lateral lift and vertical pressure, and the connection of the protrusion bastions was indeed a problem.
It is impossible for Shen Jia to completely demolish the old wall, this project is a bit large.
Shen Jia consulted many craftsmen for this, and based on everyone's ideas, Shen Jia decided to dig part of the hole in the wall, drive the cast iron rod into the hole, and use the horizontal iron bar to tie and fix it with iron wire. In this way, a layer of iron skeleton is laid on the horizontal surface at intervals of three meters, and the longitudinal surface is fixed with several iron bars, and pebbles and cement sediment are poured in the middle, which can form a simple iron concrete structure.
However, this requires a large number of iron products, fortunately, the Fushun area has always been rich in iron ore, and after Houjin obtained Fushun, the armaments were greatly expanded, and there were many iron-making furnaces in the city, which could solve the demand.
Shen Jia did not have the resources and time to build all the fortresses on the walls of three miles in length and width, so with limited resources, he decided to build two fortresses on each side of each city gate.
In ancient times, the purpose of attacking the city was to control the city gate and let the large army enter the city through the city gate. As long as control of the walls near the city gates is not lost, there is a chance to re-stabilize the situation. With limited time and resources, Shen Jia could only prioritize the construction of the fortress according to the importance of the city walls.
According to the barrel effect, Shen Jia formulated an overall plan for the repair of the city wall. That is, the first stage is to build a fortress on each side of each gate. The second stage is to build a fortress on the basis of the original one, and all the construction will be carried out according to this idea. In this way, when the Tartars attack before the walls are completed, the overall defense is at an equal height, and no one will find a hole to break through it in one fell swoop.
Food, building and defense have all been implemented according to the idea, and money, weapons, manpower, intelligence, reconnaissance, harassment, and tactics are the things that really give Shen Jia a headache.
The war is compared to comprehensive strength, and a single advantage cannot determine the final trend of the war outside the Guan, coupled with the decay of the Ming court and the future civil strife in the Central Plains, Shen Jia is also at a loss for these.
The strength outside the Guanwai has the Ming court, the Hou Jin, and the Mongol tripartite forces, and the Hou Jin and the Ming court were originally the main conflicting parties, but in the future, with the coming to power of Huang Taiji, the strategy will be more flexible. Shen Jia did not rule out that there would be more in-depth cooperation between Houjin and Mongolia, if this was the case, then Tieling, Kaiyuan's Tartars would be connected with Horqin Mongolia, coupled with Hetuala's Houjin left and right attack, Fushun's defense would be difficult.
Things were far more complicated than he thought, Shen Jia decided to go home and discuss what he thought with Wen Qing.
As soon as I entered the back house, I saw Wen Qing holding the letter and said with a smile: "Your sister misses you, ask someone to bring the letter over." ”
Shen Jia suddenly felt a burst of excitement in his heart, and quickly stepped forward and snatched the letter.
Sure enough, it was Wu Shihan's letter, which briefly introduced some things at home in Shenyang, and asked Wen Qing when she would come back by the way.
Although it was Wen Qing who asked, Shen Jia's name was written on the envelope, and Shen Jia's heart was warm, thinking of Wu Shihan in the distance.
Qu Xiaoyi also came out to greet Shen Jia on the side, and when he saw Shen Jia holding the letter at this time, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart and silently walked out of the moon gate.
Wen Qing had long been paying attention to Qu Xiaoyi's expression on the side, and when she saw Qu Xiaoyi coming out of the back house, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Shen Jia, you have gone out of shit luck, so many girls are thinking about you, don't you really want three palaces and six courtyards, right?" ”
Looking at Wen Qing with a strange face, Shen Jia smiled and said, "If I become a prince, I will make you Concubine Gong, what's the matter?" ”
"Get out, the dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, I will make you father-in-law, how about father-in-law Shen?"
Shen Jia didn't expect Wen Qing to hear it so quickly, so he was shocked, turned around and fled.
ran out of the moon gate and just turned the corner, but unexpectedly someone was standing in front of him, Shen Jia ran so fiercely that he couldn't control it for a while, and he was about to crash into his arms. Shen Jia turned to one side and fell to the side, only to find that it was Qu Xiaoyi in front of him, Qu Xiaoyi exclaimed in surprise, and at the same time stretched out his slender jade hand to hold Shen Jia.
But he didn't expect Shen Jia's body to sink, so he took Qu Xiaoyi down, and rolled into a ball with both of them.
Wen Qing in the backyard, Qu Xiaojia in the front yard rushed over when they heard the exclamations, and immediately took a panoramic view of the two people who were close to each other.
Seeing everyone coming, Qu Xiaoyi blushed and hurriedly got up, Shen Jia stood up and said while patting the soil: "I ran too fast, I accidentally bumped into Sister Ling, Brother Xiaojia, I'm really sorry." ”
Shen Jia secretly looked at Qu Xiaojia, Qu Xiaojia's face was pale, and he looked indignant, Shen Jia secretly said that things were a little tricky.
Archers are a technical branch of the era, and learning to shoot a bow and arrow will not be successful in three or four years. It would be a pity to let the two marksmen go like this for nothing for the sake of a sesame big thing.
Thinking of this, Shen Jia hurriedly removed the hippie smile and replaced it with a sincere look and said, "Brother Jia, why don't you go to the front hall with me and let's talk together?" ”
Although Qu Xiaojia was indignant, Shen Jia repeatedly explained sincerely, and he slowly felt that it was really a misunderstanding. It's just that my sister Xiaoyi has already reached the age of getting married, and now she has been tarnished again, what can I do in the future.
Qu Xiaojia felt irritable in his heart, and walked silently with Shen Jia all the way to the hall in the front yard.
