Chapter 22: Developing Liaodong (Part II)
In the end, Ji Cheng did not drive the Jin family and the Pu family out of Liaodong, and asked them to arrange for the family disciples to go to the countryside to teach the villagers to read and write, regardless of gender.
At this time, there were many women in Liaodong who took official positions, and there were indeed some people who opposed it at the beginning, but no one dared to oppose it when Jicheng's iron-blooded methods were supported by his family and the people.
Those who were not used to seeing it left Liaodong and entered the territory of the Han family to constantly slander Jicheng's reputation, making everyone think that Jicheng was a woman who was only available to him, and said that he did not respect the ancestral teachings, and his reputation was a mess.
Ji Cheng didn't care about those reputations, and now Liaodong is basically allowed to enter but not out, all in order to avoid the situation in Liaodong from being prematurely reported and attracting other people's peeps.
Not long after Jin Ling and Pu Jie left, Ma Shangfeng came in, and after saluting, he said directly: "Lord of the Underworld, the academies and teachers in all parts of Liaodong have been arranged, and the Haoqiang nights in various places are actively cooperating. On the alien side, I also sent a few people and books and papers, and they can also educate them.
Xianbei and Karasuma are now united, and their combat power has increased a lot after equipping the stirrups and hooves. Coupled with warm clothing, they can fight in the winter. They asked me to ask if the Lord could do anything to the other tribes! ”
Ji Cheng: "In winter, the conquest people can't stand the horses, so let's stop going to war first, continue to trade with other tribes, let them trade with the people of the Han Dynasty with supplies, and don't plunder again, otherwise we will no longer provide goods, and we will go to war against them." ”
Ma Shangfeng: "Now that bicycles have been made, there is relatively little rubber, only a small number of tricycles have tires, and bicycles cannot be equipped.
The main reason is that the transportation in Jiaozhou is inconvenient, and it is not so convenient to collect, and it takes a long time for the rubber to be transported out. ”
Ji Cheng: "Then transport some cement production methods and gunpowder, let them open the mountain and crack the rocks, repair the road, and provide some support in terms of money at night."
A few more talented people from this field will be sent over to guide them in building roads, and the roads to the sea will be repaired as soon as possible, and the rest of the roads will be slowly repaired by themselves. ”
Ma Shangfeng: "Transporting the Zhen family's share directly to Jiaozhou is almost enough for them to spend money on road repairs." The technician will also arrange it as soon as possible. There are also those spies from all over the country who have returned to their hearts, but they are worried about their families, so they hope that we can save people. ”
Ji Cheng agreed to Ma Shangfeng's suggestion and asked him to go down to make arrangements.
When he came to Liaodong Zhen's family to support a lot of food and money, Ji Cheng didn't plan to take their things for nothing, so Ji Cheng gave the Zhen family the technology of drying salt, and after the Zhen family got this technology, they became the first salt merchant in Dahan within three months. However, they will not eat alone, according to Ji Chenghe, they have to suggest to find an agent, choose an agent in each state and county, these agents are the most prestigious and largest local families, so the Zhen family's network is expanding rapidly, even if they know that the Zhen family earns a lot of money, no one dares to move.
In the past half a year, Ji Cheng also let people try to configure the black powder black, and to Ji Cheng's surprise, he actually succeeded at one time. There was no dud bomb in the back, and these earth explosives were packed into the territory of the alien race for a trial lesson, and as a result, these aliens were even more afraid to come to Liaodong to make trouble.
Ji Cheng and the others arranged for the people to successfully pull down the original leader because of the explosives. In addition, they obtained the goods from Liaodong, and they used these goods to sell to other tribes to earn a lot of money, and with the money to buy a large amount of grain, they did not need to plunder the people on the border of the Han Dynasty.
After the black powder was manufactured, the next thing was the steam engine, but the result was not ideal, and every time it was manufactured, it only started for a few minutes and then there was a problem, and it could no longer run, and finally had to give up.
Therefore, the hot weapons such as guns and ammunition could not be manufactured, and they could only be made of steel to make cold weapons with the best mouth.
Glass was also successfully manufactured, so military items such as telescopes were also made. In addition, medical supplies such as test tubes have also been successfully developed, and the diseases in Dahan can basically be cured.
Two years later, Liaodong has changed dramatically again, many modern buildings have appeared, and the horse-drawn carts and ox carts used to transport goods are basically gone, and most of them use tricycles to pull goods.
The roads are basically cement roads, and you can pull hundreds of pounds of goods by riding a tricycle, which is faster and more economical than using ox carts and horse-drawn carts before. In the past, horse-drawn carts and ox-carts needed to feed cattle and horses, but now with tricycles, eliminating these cattle and horses can leave a sum of grain and grass, and also save time for feeding.
In two years, the people of Liaodong have basically been freed from illiteracy, even the old people in their seventies and eighties know how to write their names, and middle schools have begun to be established.
Although the alien side has not gotten rid of illiteracy, most people can recognize the name they have written, and they know how to basically add, subtract, multiply and divide arithmetic.
In the past two years, the alien race has also been unified, and several big cities have been built in the prairie, and the alien race basically does not return to the Han Dynasty to plunder the population and money and grain, and now the alien race has money, no matter what food or women can buy, of course they don't have to fight with their lives.
Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou have less foreign raids, plus merchants come and go, the people's lives are much better, and the officials of the three states have improved their political performance a lot faster, so many families have arranged for family disciples to come over to gild.
However, in the past two years, natural disasters have continued, and the people have not been captive without foreign races, and it is not necessarily good, and there are still many people who admit that they are not full of food and clothing, and there are occasional cases of changing children and eating, so the development of Taiping Road has also become stronger and stronger.
The Yellow Turban Uprising in history still happened, or because of the Tang and Zhou informants, so the uprising was uprising in advance, and the initial momentum of the uprising was huge, sweeping Bazhou, the Han Dynasty entered the war, and the era of division is coming!
Liaodong has not been affected, those Taiping Dao have no room for development in Liaodong, and the people have a head, who is willing to believe in Taiping Dao.
Even if many people don't have land, they don't have to worry about starving, they can farm your landlords, and the government doesn't collect taxes, so these landlords will give a little more food to the people.
After all, now the people have other options, they can go to work in factories without farming, and they can do handicrafts at home. It was no problem to feed a family of eight with wages, so those landlords did not dare to be too harsh on the tenants. Otherwise, no one will help you farm, and the government will not allow the fields to be wasted, otherwise you will not only be fined for paying the field tax. Many landlords had no choice but to let their family private soldiers farm.
The price of grain in Liaodong is also ten times cheaper than that in other places in Dahan, but the output is also twice that of other places, so Liaodong is basically self-sufficient in grain now.
