Compared with silver and guns, food is the most critical issue, now Yang Meng is looking forward to the return of Nobel and others, because of the war, Ge Shiyang and Nobel's trip has been greatly delayed, but the time is still enough, if they can rush back recently, maybe fertilizer This object, the first season of grain can be used, once there is a suitable use, the third season of grain in Jiangnan, should be able to use fertilizer in large quantities.

For most of this year, Yang Meng decided to focus on grain production, even if one-third of the land in the south of the Yangtze River can use chemical fertilizer, the increase in grain production is also extremely considerable, within three or two years, in the Qing Dynasty, the popularization of chemical fertilizer, coupled with the canal repair project, grain output has doubled, there should be no problem at all.

Nowadays, science and technology and animal power are the key to promoting grain production, chemical fertilizers, advanced agricultural tools, and a large number of livestock that replace manpower are the focus of Yang Meng, as long as there is enough food, this battle can continue to be fought.

If there is a problem with food, Yang Meng is not without a solution, but this method is quite cruel, and the danger is also great, and the people of the four khanates of Central Asia and Tsarist Russia are used as rations, and future generations are afraid that they will not be at peace.

For eating human flesh, the army and the people, there should not be much resistance, after all, the object of human flesh is quite common in the Qing Dynasty in the past few decades, and there are disasters everywhere, and eating meat is better than eating soil!

In the month after Andre left, Yang Meng's main task was to make children with thirty Mongolian women, and he didn't directly interfere in military affairs and government affairs, but only used the shadow of Qin Ziqi to understand the progress of various places. Keep looking at it for a few more months. Maybe it's a good experiment. If the result is good, that road can be walked.

Five months, what should have been a two-month voyage, Ge Shiyang and Nobel and others walked for five months, which was too long, and it almost made Yang Meng feel that Ge Shiyang and others had defected.

A three-month delay will not be a bad thing for Yang Meng. In the past few months when they couldn't get out of the Mediterranean, Ge Shiyang, Siemens, Nobel and others were not idle, recruiting talents is what they have to do, whether it is participating in research or as assistants, some basic people are still easy to use.

Under the support of this concept, their team has expanded by as much as five times, and the team of nearly 2,000 people are all people with scientific foundations, which is also extremely impressive for Yang Meng.

It is not that Europe and the United States do not pay attention to talents, but that they are biased in their attention to talents. Mechanics such as shipbuilding and cannon casting are more popular, and they want to study things like Nobel and Siemens. If Nobel and Siemens don't do business, I'm afraid that no one will even sponsor the trial funds.

Yang Meng's conditions are extremely superior, as long as they are useful people, their salaries are also extremely high in Europe, not to mention the scientific research funds that have almost no limit on the amount, which in the eyes of European scientists, Daqing is a paradise of science! Of course, the premise is that Yang Meng can deliver on his promise.

Fulfilling the promise is very simple and easy for Yang Meng, and it is also very necessary, so to speak, the funds that Yang Meng has invested now will have a thousandfold return in the future, and if he doesn't do such a deal, he will be a fool.

Yang Meng's stomach also has a lot of things, these are the sparks of wisdom condensed by generations, Yang Meng started his head, this patent will be his in the future, the people involved in the research are just assistants at best, and many patents are things that make a lot of money, think about that beautiful future, Yang Meng's frowning brows all day long because of food have also stretched a little, and similarly, these also need a premise, that is, to defeat the British and French forces!

Ge Shiyang took Siemens, Nobel and his entourage to Jinkou again, and the team stayed in Guangzhou.

"Master Ge, hard work!"

"It's a pleasant trip, not hard, my lord, how are these people going to arrange it?"

Ge Shiyang's name for Yang Meng is also changing, today's lord is too beautiful, leading an army of a country and defeating the British, French and Russian alliances, Ge Shiyang also feels honored, for Britain, France and Russia, Ge Shiyang has no friendly attitude, isn't his country also oppressed by these European powers?

"The people who can be used in Guangzhou and Xishan stay, and the rest of the people get to Jinkou, Lao Tzu is going to fulfill his promise, and Lao Tzu is going to build the world's largest royal academy of sciences in Jinkou!"

Yang Meng set up the Academy of Sciences in Jinkou for his own convenience, and he would stay in Jinkou for the next few months, without having to deal with military affairs and government affairs, and his spare time was just to guide these world-class talents.

"My lord, do you want to move the West Mountain?"

The lord's intention is to relocate the West Mountain! For Xishan, Ge Shiyang already has feelings, and the relocation is a little sad!

"Nope! Xishan will also be located in Yunnan, and Guangzhou will not change, and the Royal Academy of Sciences in Jinkou is mainly built for experiments, and there are results here, and Xishan, Guangzhou, and Huang'e will also assist in the implementation.

Is there an architect among the people recruited this time? Is there a railway engineer? ”

Xishan, Yiliang, Guangzhou, and Huang'e all have their own research centers, and then build a royal academy of sciences in Jinkou, perhaps a bit of a waste of manpower, but Yang Meng's idea is to let Xishan develop independently, and command Yiliang, Guangzhou, Huang'e and the Royal Academy of Sciences, this is an era of sparks of thought, some things are all under their own command, maybe they will miss something, an independent scientific research institution, for Yang Meng also has the role of checking and filling gaps, in the future, Yang Meng will let Ge Shiyang lead the Xishan, A family of its own.

To build an academy of sciences, architecture is very important, Europe and the United States have advantages in large-scale buildings, borrowing is also due, and European architectural art is also good, although Yang Meng said that he is resisting the invasion of the West, but he does not resist the technology and achievements of the West.

"There's a part!"

"That's good, leave the people needed in Xishan, Guangzhou, and Huang'e, and everyone else come to Jinkou, and Lao Tzu wants these European scientists to see Lao Tzu's courage and strength!

Let Siemens and Nobel give it a ride! ”

The role of Siemens is now extremely important to Yang Meng, with his long-distance telegraph line. According to today's equipment. Yang Meng was able to make the telegraph run through the entire Qing Dynasty. The wars in the northwest and the north all require telegraphs from time to time, and the 500-kilometer telegraph line is the most lacking thing today.

As for Nobel, Yang Meng wanted him to be the first president of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and with the Nobel signboard, after Europe and Millicorn were in chaos, there might be many scientists who took refuge in the Qing Dynasty. With his Yang Meng's funds and the world's minds, the rise may only be a matter of a few years!

"Lord Duke!"

"Hello! You're back! Siemens, the matter of telegraph line erection should be able to start, the cable factory over there in Guangzhou has started, and the rest is your technology!

Now we want to lay a nationwide railway in Daqing, and at the same time as erecting telegraph lines, we hope that you can focus on the technology of the railway, and the cooperation between us. The profits are extremely lucrative. ”

Ge Shiyang, Siemens, and Nobel, Yang Meng also wants to separate them. Ge Shiyang is credible, and Siemens and Nobel have to use an old saying, if they are not of our race, their hearts will be different!

Ge Shiyang's West Mountain is Yang Meng's own; Siemens' side is linked by commercial interests, which must also be credible; And the Royal Academy of Sciences headed by Nobel, it is likely that there will be some disasters, China and Europe are not the same race after all, and the future war may cause many disputes in the Royal Academy of Sciences, these things Yang Meng has to guard.

And Germany, where Siemens was born, is also a country that Yang Meng wants to woo, this time the release of France is also to give some pressure to the rising Germany, without external pressure, Germany will not seek cooperation, the iron-blooded prime minister Bismarck, Yang Meng has also heard of it, with Bismarck's iron blood, and his Yang Meng's military technology, maybe it can give birth to Germany's ambitions.

Although Nobel's motherland is Sweden, Europeans' thinking is different from that of China, and it is not very easy for Yang Meng to figure out Nobel's scheming.

"Thank you for your generosity!"

Although Yang Meng's words are simple, they do contain huge benefits, and after these two projects, Siemens' wealth may exceed one million pounds, which is also a lot of personal wealth in the world, of course, it cannot be compared with some giant businessmen in the Qing Dynasty.

If you talk about personal wealth, today's Qing Dynasty is the place with the most rich people, and there are countless officials with a net worth of millions of taels of silver killed by Yang Meng in a time of corruption, plus Jin merchants, Hui merchants, and Chaoshan merchants, aren't they the richest?

"Mr. Nobel, I'm going to build a Royal Academy of Sciences in Jinkou, covering an area of about 10,000 acres, right? If you use acres to calculate it, it's about a few thousand acres.

Of course, if the scale is not enough, we can expand several times or more than ten times!

It's just that the location of the Royal Academy of Sciences is not very prosperous, it is in the middle of the mountains and forests, maybe the quiet is also conducive to the research of scientists, right? ”

The area around Beijing and Tianjin is mountainous, Yang Meng does not plan to occupy cultivated land, after all, cultivated land involves grain, tidal flats and mountains are the site of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and the mountains around Beijing and Tianjin, because of logging and farming, are mostly barren mountains, just take the opportunity to green.

"Is it true?"

Nobel didn't believe Yang Meng, the Duke of Qingguo, because the Royal Academy of Sciences, which covers an area of thousands of acres, is definitely the first in the world!

"Hmmm! This father is talking about the area of the main building complex, not the area of greenery!

This time there are European designers, the design of the Royal Academy of Sciences, the Qing Dynasty royal family will also produce some designers, the Royal Academy of Sciences, a combination of Chinese and Western, the main construction area of about 10,000 acres, and then tens of thousands of acres of mountains and forests as the residence and leisure area of the Royal Academy of Sciences, what do you see the scale? ”

The construction of the Royal Academy of Sciences is also a big deal for Yang Meng, this is an opportunity to absorb the world's minds, the Royal Academy of Sciences is built in imports, Yang Meng is not all for his own convenience, Jinkou is directly connected to the Bohai Sea, and this will also be a place where all countries gather in the future.

"Oh...... On an unprecedented scale, I'm afraid this cost is not small, right? ”

For Yang Meng's words, Nobel also has some doubts, the main construction area is more than 10,000 acres, which means millions or even tens of millions of pounds of spending, is the Great Qing Dynasty in wartime have such financial ability?

"It's a lot of money, of course, but that's not something you should worry about, what you should worry about is getting the architectural drawings of the Royal Academy of Sciences in the shortest possible time.

During this time, the guild built some temporary buildings, and at the same time as the design drawings, Mr. Nobel was the first president of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and you had to lead the scientists in Europe, including my Qing Dynasty, to come up with large-scale converter steel mills and sulfur nitrates in the shortest possible time. Drawings of acid plants, fertilizer plants.

Steel mills, it is best to have an output of 10,000 tons, the output of acid plants should also be more than 1,000 tons, and as for fertilizer plants, it is best to have a scale of 10,000 tons! ”

Construction, for Yang Meng is not a difficult matter, now the most difficult is the output of steel, various acids and fertilizers, as long as these three factories, can have a scale of 10,000 tons, within five years the railway throughout the north of the Qing Dynasty is still conceivable, as for the mountains in the south, Yang Meng did not dare to ask for luxury, it is said that the railway network in Sichuan back then, but after having considerable technology, it took more than ten years to build, and now the south and southwest, or to build roads and canals, build railways there, Today's technology is a little bit worse.

"Lord Duke, it's too difficult, it's almost impossible!"

Yang Meng's request is a bit out of reality, a 10,000-ton factory, this is impossible!

"There is no difficulty, do you still need the people of the Royal Academy? Remember! Shortest! The fastest! Utmost! (To be continued......)
