Chapter Seventy-Two: Perverse
In the next few days, Ningbo, Cixi, Fenghua, Dinghai, that is, the original Zhenhai, since it is the name of Kang Mazi can no longer be used, Dinghai restored the old name of Changguo, then Zhenhai of course also restored the old name of Dinghai, these four places were unified into Ningbo Prefecture, and the farmers in the four places first enjoyed the happy life brought to them by Yang Dashuai.

In total, more than 100,000 landless or landless peasants have rented a total of 1.3 million mu of farmland from the State-owned Land Management Bureau of the Dashuai Prefecture.
Of course, the vast majority of them are tenants who have rented these lands in the first place, and they just change the objects of the lease, and return some of the land that they originally rented over, and even then they run to press their fingerprints with cheers. Because in the past, their land rent was as high as 60 or 70 percent, and even in good years, it may increase to 80 percent, and it is not uncommon for them to go to their families tomorrow to ask for food after paying the rent today, but the rent of the public land is only 10%, and this outrageous figure is like a bolt from the blue. With such a low land rent, even if they can only grow fifteen acres per family at most, the final harvest of grain is enough to feed them, and there will even be surpluses to sell.
The land they returned was rented out to more people.
This murderous hammer completely shattered the old order, and the peasants who rented the land were overjoyed, and because of the quantity problem, they beat their chests and feet in the end, and they couldn't wait to run to the marshal's mansion and kneel down to beg Yang Dashuai to go out again to expand the territory.
As for the problem of too few commanders......
This is easy to say, two boys, follow the handsome man to fight the world!
And those who rent the land of the small landlords are clamoring for rent reduction, and if they do not reduce the rent, they will all rent the public land, and they will simply threaten to expose the collusion between the latter and the Tartars if the rent is not reduced, although it is impossible to reduce it to 10%, but it is still possible to reduce it to 30%, after all, the public land also involves a geographical location, and if you really want to rent the public land, you may have to move.
Of course, the consequences for Yang Feng are also very serious.
First of all, there are more rumors about him outside, such as whether his identity is an immortal or a demon, and there are rumors that he is actually a cannibal, and there are rumors that he wants to change a chu girl every night.
God is pitiful, Yang Dashuai really wants to!
Of course, these are nothing to worry about, anyway, on his territory, those who are dissatisfied with him can only live by the mouth, if you really want to do something, it is best to think about the bayonets of the Ming army first, even if you don't care about the bayonets of the Ming army, it is best to think about Yang Dashuai's invulnerability and invincible combat effectiveness.
Well, it was a one-man capture of the prince alive.
Just the 400-pound meteor hammer, that is, second only to the legendary Li Yuanba and his ilk, such a person is more deterrent than his army.
And what is really serious is that after his madness spread, the landlords in the surrounding areas controlled by the Qing army did not hesitate to act, not only enthusiastically donating money and materials to the Qing army, but also some simply asked for the organization of group exercises to help the court exterminate the demons, especially the recent Yuyao several big landlords, without even waiting for Kang Mazi to nod, they had already started it first with Guo Shilong's acquiescence, anyway, this kind of good thing Kang Mazi will definitely laugh.
After the fiasco in Ningbo, the Qing army was desperately mobilizing troops from all over the country at this time, and even the farthest even in Yungui, Sichuan, were mobilized, after all, they lost too much in this battle, but it took some time for these troops to come from the south and the north, at this time, the Qing army was short of troops, and someone took the initiative to help them, and Kang Mazi was of course happy.
It is said that the Yang demon is so perverse, which also makes him feel like he has picked up a treasure.
Of course, they didn't know that Yang Dashuai also smiled.
"We don't need to care how many enemies there are, as long as we are strong enough, all enemies are chickens and dogs, instead of entangled with them after the war, it is better to force them to jump out and openly fight with us, and then we will clean them all out in the war, and finally really harvest a clean white paper, we can paint on it as we like."
In a factory in Changguo, Yang Dashuai said very sinisterly.
In front of him, a group of shirtless, sweaty workers were spinning a huge runner, and with the rotation of this runner, driven by gears, a machine that looked a bit like a giant pear, while unscrupulously exuding scorching heat, slowly rotated with the brackets on both sides as the center of the circle, and when it rotated to a completely flat lie and tilted slightly downward, the fiery molten steel slowly flowed out of a discharge port, until it flowed into the groove that had been made long ago, waiting to cool down into a strip of steel ingots.
Well, this is the steelmaking furnace that Lin Qian made for him.
Although the strip steel is a little too tall enough, Yang Dashuai can't care about other advanced ingot casting technologies for the time being, after all, even the strip steel is shocking enough.
"Without the need for a fire, just puff up, the molten iron will not solidify, but will become real steel, which is simply amazing."
Shao Tingcai beside him was not interested in caring about Yang Dashuai's sinister thoughts, although Yang Dashuai was ready to harm his fellow villagers, but in fact, he also knew very well that all the villagers who were remembered by Yang Dashuai would be innocent of death. He knows better than Yang Feng how the big landlords who colluded with the officials and gentry completed their wealth accumulation, and it can be said that everyone is enough to thunder and thunder, as for their Shao family relatives, none of them are qualified to be remembered by Yang Dashuai.
He is now completely immersed in a frenzy for technology.
He really didn't understand why the molten iron was poured into this furnace, and then kept blowing air into it from below, without any means of heating, and the scorching molten iron not only did not cool, but turned into molten steel, which was completely beyond the scope of his brain's comprehension, but looking at the workers who were re-erecting the bottom of the furnace and picking up a pile of slag, he seemed to vaguely understand.
"This iron and steel are the same thing, but the pig iron we smelt with ore is not clean, and there are too many impurities in it, so it can't be the same as steel, and this furnace removes the impurities in it."
He said, pointing to the scum.
"Almost, but this is only part of the impurities, and some of the smoke that came out of it just now, and the impurities in this are not actually all removed, but the harmful ones are removed, and the beneficial components of the steel are retained, if you are interested, you might as well study what is in the iron ore, for example, you can collect the smoke and study it, collect and study the waste residue, and if you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
Yang Feng patted him on the shoulder and said.
If someone can figure out the composition of iron ore elements at this time, it can definitely be said to be against the sky.
"Master Liu, do you think we can make such a stove ourselves?"
Then he said to an old craftsman next to him, who was gathering with a large group of people around another steelmaking furnace that had not been put into production, this was a sample prepared by Yang Feng for them, although he could find Lin Qian to make it, but this one was not as good as what he could make after all.
"You can try to make this stove yourself, but you have to teach us how to use it for some constructions, especially the materials used."
The old master said respectfully.
He is the main technician of Yang Feng's cannonball foundry, and his ancestors have played steel filling for generations.
"Okay, I'll give you a boat, if there's anything you need to ask, go directly to Ningbo to find me."
Yang Feng said.
He is still mainly in Ningbo now, and he only comes here once in a while, but fortunately, there are only more than 100 miles of waterways between the two places, and it is very convenient to travel back and forth.
"Dashuai, that Japanese man is here again."
At this time, one of his guards came over and saluted and said.
"Black Eight? I'm waiting for him! ”
Yang Feng said with a happy smile.
He was going to do a good business with the Satsuma Domain, this time the Ming army had captured too many Qing weapons, and he didn't bother to use these tattered arquebuses at all, especially since there were a lot of shoddy small artillery, and even a lot of pig iron, which was of no other use except for him to return to the furnace to make steel. Since this is the case, it is better to sell it to the southwestern feudal clans of the Wa Kingdom, at this time their iron cannons are also at this level, although Satsuma Gun is also very famous, but he is not a big deal to be cheaper, anyway, the arquebuses he surrendered are enough to arm all the armies of the southwestern feudal domains.
If those guys in the Southwest Domain think that their firearms are invincible, and then embark on the great journey of Shangluo, he will undoubtedly be very happy, as for the problem that these guys have no money, squeeze it, squeeze it will always happen, and if it doesn't work, you can exchange it for rice.
"Your Excellency, please look!"
Half an hour later, in the Marshal's Mansion, Hei Ba bowed his waist, his face was full of flattering smiles, pointed behind him and said, behind him were four Japanese people, each in a group of two, each carrying a large basket......
Well, it's called a cage.
In each of the two baskets, there was a shy and timid girl sitting in the cage, who looked like a mold carved out, but they were indeed a beauty, and they were not painted with black teeth like ghosts.
However, after looking at this long-awaited twin beauty, Yang Feng still squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "This is what you spent a few months looking for me." ”
"My lord, this is a gift from my master."
Hei Hachi said flatteringly.
"Drag him out and throw him into the sea."
Yang Feng said expressionlessly.
"My lord, my lord, where is the villain offended?"
Hei Ba looked at the two Ming soldiers who were walking towards him like wolves and tigers, and fell down in fright at Yang Feng's feet and cried.
"How old are they?"
"Fang, Fang Ling Thirteen."
Yang Feng suppressed the feeling of wanting to vomit blood and roared like crazy: "You get me a pair of thirteen, do you want to anger me?" ”
"This, Thirteen is indeed a little older, next time the villain will definitely send you the pair of Eleven."
Hei Hachi said very worriedly.
"Poof!"
