103 Agricultural machinery was born

The migration is going on vigorously, although the long journey is very hard, but these suffering Han people have a rare smile.

Through intelligence, Liu Hong learned of this situation and sighed, "The people of the Celestial Empire are simply the best people in the world. Their demands are so low that as long as there is hope in life, they are satisfied. ”

But he is also very proud after sighing, because what he plays is not virtual, what he brings to the people is a real benefit. It is precisely because of this that the people dare to emigrate from thousands of miles and voluntarily run to a place where they are unfamiliar to meet a new life.

After some investigation, although the people are vying to emigrate, the family has also purchased a large amount of land. But in those places, there is still a lot of land without owners.

"This can't be done, a large number of people have been detained by the family door valve, and they are not allowed to immigrate to the family gate valve. It is necessary for the imperial court to exchange slaves, and this problem must be solved as soon as possible. ”

Although Liu Hong felt that there was a problem here, he didn't think much about it, in order to be able to exchange more slaves and tenants from the family, he asked all the troops who could go out to go out and go around to catch foreigners back as slaves.

Foreigners are not stupid, they can't stay there and wait for Liu Hong to send someone to arrest them. Except for some large tribes, who are not afraid of this kind of small-scale disturbance, and still stay in place, the others have basically run away. Therefore, after tossing for a long time, the slaves caught couldn't meet the needs of the family's gate valve at all.

"That's not going to work, and it's not a good idea to rely on slaves to farm the land, after all, manpower is limited, and even if he is tired to death, he can't cultivate much land alone. So, I'll have to find another way. ”

Just when Liu Hong was worried, there was good news. Wei Liao and Zhang Qi, after a long period of hard work, coupled with the help of the famous master Ma Jun, finally transformed the wooden ox flowing horse and the wooden kite.

"Ten years of investment, ten years of hard work, today I finally see the results!"

Liu Hong looked at the new wooden ox and flowing horse, quite excited. This new wooden ox flowing horse, that is too powerful, it can not only carry people and goods, but also after improvement, it can be used as agricultural machinery, to achieve mechanized farming.

"Great, that's a big problem. Agricultural machinery is much faster than manpower, and one person cultivating fifty acres of land is not tired at all. This thing must be vigorously developed. ”

Years of investment have paid off all at once. Not only Liu Hong felt that his hard work was not in vain. Even Liu Zhong was very happy.

So he had received Liu Hong's instructions, and he immediately contacted a group of people to build factories around in order to manufacture agricultural machinery on a large scale.

However, although agricultural machinery is being manufactured, their price is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford. At this moment, Liu Hong is worried.

"This can't be done, people can't afford it, and there is no difference between not having it."

After thinking for a while, Liu Hong decided to let the imperial court set a subsidy for agricultural machinery, as long as it is a registered farm, the purchase of agricultural machinery can enjoy a large share of subsidies, so as to reduce their burden, so that they can replace with time-saving and labor-saving agricultural machinery as soon as possible.

The people buy things, and the court subsidizes them, which is an unprecedented anecdote. Whether people laughed at Liu Hong's stupidity or praised Liu Hong for his dedication to the people, through Liu Hong's mandatory order, this policy was finally formulated.

After solving the problem of agricultural machinery, Liu Hong focused his attention on the wooden kite.

Wooden kites, now transformed into airships by them. But unfortunately, this airship is a hydrogen boat, which is a bit more dangerous than a helium boat.

"But even if it's a little dangerous, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Don't say that its military use is absolutely artifact-level. Even if it is used for civilian use, it definitely has incomparable advantages to transport things to mountainous areas and places that are difficult to pass. ”

Liu Hong knew the value of this thing very well, so he decided to make good use of it. But there's no hurry, he has more important things to do.

In the era of great migration, transportation is extremely important. Although there are many ships transporting migrants, many are willing to travel by land.

Now that the wooden ox and the airship have been put into use, Liu Hong wants to vigorously develop the transportation business. With this idea, Liu Hong immediately brought Hu Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Communications, to him.

"Hu Aiqing, you are responsible for the traffic. Now, I want to build a long-distance transportation system on a large scale, which is going to be a big deal. ”

Hu Zhao is very grateful to Liu Hongneng for directly raising him to a high position. Don't say that this thing is his own work. Even if it's not, with Liu Hong's kindness, he must definitely do a good job.

However, this long-distance transportation system has never existed before. He didn't understand it a little, so he had to ask Liu Hong for clarification.

This long-distance transportation system is a bit complicated, including roads, freight stations, long-distance stations for transporting people, and cars for transporting people and goods.

Here, Hu Zhao doesn't have to worry about the car, everything else has to be bothered by him.

"Your Majesty, according to you, the freight station and the long-distance station don't cost much. Find an open space and you can make do with it. However, this road will cost a lot, I don't know how much money Your Majesty can give Weichen? ”

"Aiqing, you also know that now that the imperial court is constantly making big moves, it can't take out much money at all. Let's see, is there any way to solve it? ”

If someone else didn't give a penny for such a big project, they would have been in a hurry a long time ago. But Hu Zhao didn't, he quietly thought about how to complete this task.

Liu Hong just deliberately didn't take the money, wanting to see how Hu Zhao reacted. After all, history says that he is talented, but it is only speculation, and there is no real evidence. So Liu Hong was not very relieved, so he still had to test him.

"Your Majesty, after thinking about it, Weichen feels that the transportation network cannot be built at once, and we must carry it out in batches in a planned manner."

Hearing this, Liu Hong nodded.

Seeing Liu Hong's approval, Hu Zhao continued: "Your Majesty is now a large number of immigrants, we must build immigration routes first, so as to reduce the pressure of immigrants." ”

Liu Hong also agrees with this.

Hu Zhao continued: "After consideration, Weichen chose two routes to build first, one from Beijing to Jiaozhou, and one from Beijing to Jiaozhou. In this way, both land and water routes can be taken care of. ”

Liu Hong thought about it, thought it was good, and nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, these two roads are quite long, and it must cost a lot to meet Your Majesty's requirements. Now that the imperial court has no money, Weichen thinks about it and thinks that if he wants to solve this problem, he can only contract it to the merchants, let them build the road, allow them to collect fees, and recover the cost. ”

"Build a toll road?" Hearing this answer, Liu Hong even felt that this Hu Zhao was also crossed.

This idea is too advanced, but it also makes Liu Hong determine Hu Zhao's talent and know that he is definitely a talent.

However, Liu Hong is not ready to implement this policy. He finally abolished the gate tax, and now he has a toll road, what does this look like? Besides, it is very difficult for Chinese people to learn well, and it is fast to learn badly, as long as this road is charged, all the others will learn the same, and they will be charged together, and it will be lively. Liu Hong doesn't want the Han to be the same as later generations, there are toll booths everywhere, and they pay for the road everywhere.

But now the treasury has almost tossed him, and there is really no money left. Not long ago, the agricultural machinery subsidy almost squeezed out the treasury, and now it is really unrealistic to let the treasury pay for it.

However, this road has to be built, and a toll road cannot be built. Now, it can make Liu Hong difficult.
