Chapter Seventy-Four: The Three Major Projects
The corners of Shang Weiyang's mouth rose slightly and smiled: "It has a relationship, and it has a big relationship?"
"In that case, third brother, don't sell it"
"Okay, then I'll take my time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe price of wool is very cheap, why?
Because now sheep are raised by landlords and farmers, there are not many, but compared with using wool to make carpets, the wool production is still countless times more.
So wool carpets are worth ten thousand gold, but wool is worthless.
But I broke this supply and demand relationship with machinery, and I now need a lot of wool, and soon the price of wool will rise to the sky like fireworks!
And these sheep raised now can't meet my order at all, is it difficult for Sun Xiao to do it for Dabi gold coins?"
"It must be a big sheep raising!" Shang Ape said very cooperatively.
"Yes, he will raise sheep on a large scale, and the landlords and nobles who are close to him, and even the nomadic tribes of the steppes will also raise sheep on a large scale.
However, the amount of land was not convenient, so they began to enclose land and abandon agricultural cultivation and rebuild pastures for grazing.
After all, raising sheep is much more profitable than farming, and it is simple to only need to plant grass.
The consequence of the large-scale reduction of cultivated land is that some sheep eat and people do not, and this is sheep eating people!"
After hearing this, Shang Yu broke out in a cold sweat, and he instantly figured out that the landlords and nobles owned ninety percent of the land, while the landless peasants accounted for ninety percent of the population.
At that time, the peasants who had no land to grow would not even have anything to eat, and they had only one way to escape.
And the loss of population, when they want to farm, they can't find people, life and death are all in Shang Weiyang's thoughts.
The most terrible thing is the enclosure, who has more enclosures, who has fewer enclosures, and there are too many interests involved.
Conflict is a matter of time, and once it occurs, it will not stop, and the area affected by Sun Xiao will become a place of chaos.
He relied on the support of the border guards and the royal Mingyue Sect in it, and he was the most powerful, and he would also become a thorn and fat in everyone's eyes, at least the city lord of Black Dragon City and the grassland nomadic tribe were not something they could simply deal with.
When the time comes, everyone will betray and leave, and the thorn in everyone's eyes will not be able to protect him even if there is the royal family and the Bright Moon Sect, and he will only end up dead!
Even if all this is suppressed by Sun Xiao strongly, I am afraid that the third brother will push behind his back and let all the contradictions be concentrated on Sun Xiao.
"Awesome! Gao is really high! But what about those peasants who have lost their farmland? Are they refugees?" Shang Yu asked the doubts in his heart after complimenting him.
"Second brother, do you think that I have a large population in Black Rock City? Isn't there a shortage of people? I can only say that I want as much as I want, one million is not too much, and 500,000 is not too little!"
This time, Shang Ape was completely convinced, and his third brother's intelligence was really amazing.
"In that case, I won't go to the garrison over there, and I'll stay in your Black Rock City for a few more days. Let's see what else is new. ”
"Hehe, Black Rock City is almost the same every day now, just issued a few days ago RMB, and now the bank is the most lively. Tomorrow I will take my second brother to visit in person. ”
"Okay, you have to introduce me well tomorrow, now the two of us brothers are going to drink, and you city lord's mansion good wine quickly take it out." ”
In the evening, Shang Weiyang called Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Zhang Zhiping and others to the city lord's mansion to hold a barbecue and wine tasting meeting together.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were also very cordial when they saw Shang Ape, and while drinking, they talked about how Shang Weiyang was amazing, recalling all kinds of bad deeds in Wei Wangcheng back then.
Shang Ape and the others who listened laughed, and Shang Weiyang was actually a little embarrassed.
The meeting lasted until the early hours of the morning, and everyone was arranged to spend the night in Shang Weiyang's city lord's mansion.
Early the next morning, everyone else returned to their posts, and Shang Weiyang took Shang Ape on a tour of Black Rock City.
Shang Ape designated three places that he must go. Railway Station, Black Dragon Dam and Great Wall.
The first thing I went to was the train station, and when I arrived, the workers here were in full swing to build the main project.
Shang Weiyang took Shang Ape to a secret closed construction site and whispered, "Second brother, this is the Fire Spirit Stone Steam Locomotive, don't underestimate this iron guy, he has a lot of strength, and if he runs with all his strength, the master of the Refining Marrow Realm can also be killed!"
"So powerful? I think it's about the same as your farm tractor?"
"Tractors? That's not comparable to this, the technology and horsepower are completely different, and when the railroad is repaired, you won't have to bump all the way here, and you can get from Blackrock to Greenwater by sleeping on the train."
And not only can you pull people, but you can also pull goods, and when the time comes, it will be cheaper to sell things to Green Water City. ”
Although he didn't understand the principle of the train, it didn't prevent Shang Ape from seeing the huge potential of the train.
After visiting the train station, the two went to the Black Dragon Dam again, which can be said to be the first concrete dam in the Tianjing Continent. At this time, the Heilong River has not yet been intercepted, and the project of raising the river embankment is still ongoing.
Shang Ape learned from Shang Weiyang that this dam would supply energy to the entire Black Rock City in the future. Importance comparable to a steam engine!
Shang Ape said that he didn't believe it, a dam is just a project, what does it have to do with energy energy to regulate water conservancy projects?
However, thinking of the third brother's magical ideas and the strange guys in his scientific research department, he still said that he would come and find out in five years.
The last stop is the Great Wall, which is a major project to defend against monsters, and it is also the most important project at the moment.
If you can't stop the demon beasts, then the development of Black Rock City will always be curled up in the city, and what kind of bullshit development is there to talk about.
The location of this section of the Great Wall is directly opposite the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, and both sections are moats that even the Demon King cannot cross, unless it is a flying demon beast.
With a total length of 120 miles, the two excavators newly developed by the Ministry of Scientific Research are also used here, and tens of thousands of laborers are building them day and night.
Shang Weiyang's purpose is very simple, he wants to build this place into a real copper wall.
"Third brother, can this city wall resist the demon beasts? The city wall on the eldest brother's side is not low, and it still suffers heavy losses!"
"I have faith, but my greatest confidence is not in the Great Wall, but in my soldiers and their weapons!"
Hearing this, Shang Ape knew that the main event was coming, and weapons might be an important capital for Shang Weiyang to defend against demon beasts. When he asked, "What weapon does the third brother have to defend against demon beasts?"
"Last year it was muskets, mines and grenades, and this year there will be automatic rifles, artillery, and incendiary grenades. ”
Hearing that Shang Weiyang was talking about these weapons that he had never heard of, Shang Ape was a little excited in his heart and asked, "Third brother, quickly demonstrate it and let me see it, if it is feasible, send some to the eldest brother at that time." ”
It's all a family, of course, Shang Weiyang won't hide anything, after all, the entire Wei King's fiefdom belongs to their family, and he immediately took Shang Ape to the martial arts arena of the Armed Forces Department!
At this time, the martial arts exercise ground was set up in a mountainous area outside the city, and it happened to be conducting artillery training today.
Shang Weiyang took over Wang Qiang's command and gave the order to attack a shooting range, and immediately the entire martial arts arena was deafening.
After the smoke of gunpowder, on the shooting range, it has already been razed to the ground!
"It's... It is worthy of the full force of the strong man of the marrow refining powerhouse. Okay, good, third brother, you are really a blessing to my business! If you still have any difficulties here, I will go back and tell my father that I will give my full support. After seeing the power of the artillery, Shang Ape excitedly said three good things in a row, and said that he would fully support his development.
Shang Weiyang thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the second brother, I really have a reluctant invitation!"
(PS: Guess Shang Weiyang, what requirements will he make?By the way, I also ask for collections, recommendations, rewards, uc and friends who chase books also come to support it.) )
