Chapter 61 Agricultural Machinery
The essence of flickering is to make others suffer a big loss and feel that they have taken a big advantage, just like a certain uncle in the Northeast who abducted and sold to a normal person, and the normal person has to say "thank you!"
Shang Weiyang gave others the illusion that he was going to sell at a loss, in fact, his textile factory had opened full horsepower production, and the second and third textile factories had begun to be built. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Originally, Shang Weiyang didn't want to use the steam engine on a large scale, but this beast tide made him realize, and he made such a fuss once a year, I'm afraid that before he found out, Black Rock City would boast about it.
With the use of the steam engine, a large number of workshops were moved into the city, and due to the problem of food and lodging arranged by the recruitment arrangement, the enthusiasm of the people of Blackstone City was unprecedentedly high.
After all, the home has just been destroyed by the demon beast, and there are only three in the Huaxia community now, all of which are arranged for the militia to move in.
If you want to get out of the tent resettlement area as soon as possible, it is necessary to find a job, so Shang Weiyang, who was still worried about recruitment, now has no need to worry at all.
Such a large-scale cloth production is waiting for a big pit, but profiteers are profiteers, and they also form groups to hang Shangweiyang in order to seek lower prices.
Shang Weiyang didn't care about this, because even if the price of his cloth was reduced, it was generally profitable.
And now Shang Weiyang is worried about the problem of resources and food, the ore veins within the Black Rock City are very complete, but there are not many, and the current mining will soon not be able to supply the needs of the Black Rock City.
And the arable land is even less pitiful, if the large radius of a hundred miles is not a few farming. Helplessly, Shang Weiyang could only spend money to hire people to open up the wasteland, which was actually a loss.
However, Shang Weiyang understood that food security and cotton cultivation were the top priorities of production in Black Rock City in the future.
The people regard food as the sky, so Shang Weiyang's priority now is how to solve the food problem, and he can't always be the wronged leader.
After summarizing the information, Shang Weiyang came up with two major reasons why no one farmed.
The first is the problem of productivity, taking a peasant family as an example, there are five people who are tired and tired and they can reclaim ten acres of land.
And often most people don't talk about cows and horses, chickens and ducks are rare, and the tools used for labor are also wooden, which is extremely inefficient.
The second is the problem of banditry. The border is close to the steppe, and nomadic tribes often loot grain, and even border guards robber the city.
If you don't want to carry the looting, you have to pay protection money to the border guards, and ordinary peasant households themselves have insufficient output, so where can they get the money to pay protection fees? Over time, there are only a few villages in Black Rock City that farm land.
In this beast tide, all the villages were destroyed, and those landlords were squeezed out of their money by Sun Xiao and reduced to civilians, while the ordinary villagers who fled for their lives were either fed to the monsters or went to work in Black Rock City.
In response to this situation, Shang Weiyang thought of the method of hiring people to open up the wasteland, but this decision made people look like a fool.
In the entire fiefdom of King Wei, this matter almost spread under the impetus of people with hearts.
However, he also became a thorn in the side of the landlords, because they found that the conditions of Shang Weiyang's opening made the long-term workers under them fluctuate.
"What? You only need to pay 10% rent for farming?"
"It's true, I heard that the Black Rock City Lord was originally a gentleman, and it's not unusual for him to do this. ”
"What are you waiting for, let's go to Black Rock City!"
"I'm still looking at the situation, in case it's a liar, it's not cost-effective to be so far away. ”
Similar conversations are repeated in the villages. However, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and there are still those who have the courage to come to Black Rock City to join the wasteland development group.
When these people came to Blackstone City, they were directly dumbfounded, didn't they say that Blackstone City was broken and broken? What was the matter with such a high wall?
It's not that the Black Rock City Inn is small and dirty, what kind of trouble is this magnificent Huaxia Hotel?
If it weren't for the sight of the ruins that had not been completely cleared, and the three big characters of Black Rock City at the gate of the city, they would have even thought that they had come to the royal city.
The first thing the people of the reclamation group did when they came was to register their identities. A whole 100,000 people came here from all over the world. All of them have applied for ID cards in Black Rock City.
It is worth mentioning here that after the beast tide, more than 20,000 militia members became police officers. Therefore, the registration of the identity of the new 100,000 people is very fast.
These 100,000 people were not assigned to live in Blackstone City, but were divided into farms.
Due to the mature technology of the steelworks in Blackstone City, a large amount of raw materials are manufactured, and these are turned into machines through the mechanical manufacturing workshop.
The industry of Black Rock City can be said to have been preliminarily built.
"Sure enough, we still have to rely on the steam engine, but now we have to solve the problem of agricultural machinery first, and I don't know how the research and development of the scientific research department is?"
After knowing the usefulness of the steam engine, the scientific research type seemed to have been beaten and designed various steam machines, among which there was a ridiculous steam tickle!
Can you imagine a huge steam engine driving an tickling scene?
So after the end of the beast tide, Shang Weiyang issued a task to the Ministry of Scientific Research - steam locomotive.
On the issue of agriculture, Shang Weiyang first thought of the topic of the Ministry of Scientific Research, and immediately went to the Ministry of Scientific Research to see the results.
When I arrived, I found that all the teams had already designed them, and all kinds of steam locomotives were strange.
Some gears are densely packed, while others only talk about a few parts. But what surprised him was the design of the five groups.
This steam locomotive actually has some shadows of a train. It's just that it's still a gear conduction motor.
In front of everyone, Shang Weiyang slightly changed the design of the five groups, and the steam locomotive was designed with eccentric wheels and link rods.
When Shang Weiyang was studying steam locomotives, the training of the training department for the wasteland reclamation group was also in progress, and the first thing was to let them choose the contract.
One is to be a hired laborer, with 20 gold coins a month for food and shelter, and to work with money. The other is to lease the land for one year and hand over 10% of the output, and the contract period is three years.
Nine out of 100,000 people chose to work with money, and only more than 1,000 chose to rent land.
A month later, the training of the reclamation regiment was completed, and the city lord distributed more than 100 steam locomotives to more than 100 farms.
None of the people in the wasteland group had ever seen this kind of iron guy, and they were all curious about what it was for.
It was still the accompanying technician who contacted everyone with doubts, this thing is equivalent to a cow and a horse, but he will never get tired, as long as he adds water to the fire.
Everyone expressed doubts, this iron guy is so heavy that he can move on his own?
Seeing that the crowd was not convinced, the technician filled the steam locomotive with water from the well, and then began to light a fire in the small boiler.
After a while, the gears of the steam engine were turned, and the technician adjusted the gears, and the steam locomotive began to move forward little by little with a loud sound, and finally became faster and faster than the speed of a human trot.
The technician stopped the steam locomotive, hung the seeder on it, and started the machine again.
The blades on the planter immediately ploughed the hard ground softly, and after half an hour the technician returned, only to see that the land where the steam locomotive had passed had been ploughed over, and was only waiting for the manual sowing.
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded, this iron guy is really powerful, he is actually more powerful than cattle and horses, and faster, with this thing, how much land does Black Rock City have to plant!
The steam engine began to be used in agriculture, in fact, it was far less useful than the tractor in the previous life, but he could not help it if the internal combustion engine was not successfully developed.
Just when the steam engine was showing its might on the farm, Sun Xiao finally scraped together a large amount of money and cotton, and he wanted to buy all the cloth of Shang Weiyang to make him lose money, and sell all the cotton to consume it.
(I slept late yesterday, I had leg cramps at four o'clock in the morning today, my brain was foggy in the morning, and I coded this chapter intermittently, I have to rest in the afternoon, and the chapter will be a little later in the evening!)
