Chapter 466: Agriculture-oriented!
When the Tuoba clan was assembling the party's army outside the city of Ulzhou, 15,000 men and horses led by Cui Wei, Zhuge Qi and others also rushed to Ulzhou to garrison.
At this time, it was not yet the time for the real war, and the two sides were still in a period of daily scolding, and it was obvious that the Tuoba clan was not very sure of the capture of Ulzhou, and they were very cautious in arranging their troops
Song Yi didn't come to Ulzhou in person, this time he handed over all the command and command to Zhuge Qi! is not only a test, but also a trust in him, after all, Zhuge Qi has always been a role as a military advisor before Song Yi took over the mighty army, and Song Yi has to give him enough space to play.
But while delegating power to Zhuge Qi, he didn't leave some back-ups, at least Yeli Qinchuan and others did not appear in the city of Ulzhou at the moment.
And where Yeli Qinchuan went, I'm afraid there are very few people who know the way
When the situation in Ulju was tense, Qin Chengen and others suffered their first big defeat in Goryeo.
In the period before Chinese New Year's Eve, when Cui Wei and the others withdrew their troops from Goryeo, no one realized that a larger army had attacked the royal city of Goryeo and occupied it.
However, Yanyun's side, and even Youzhou's side, didn't even receive the slightest rumor, let alone the capital?
Able to raid the Goryeo royal city with lightning speed and defeat the remnants of the powerful Liao State and occupy the Goryeo royal city after a short period of time without any movement from the whole world, except for the Great Zhao Wei Jin Guoer!
No one would have thought that the Kingdom of Jin, which had withdrawn from Yanyun, would take advantage of Chinese New Year's Eve to capture the Goryeo Royal City as a place of rest and recuperation, and before that, Wanyan Mingzhu had secretly run to the vicinity of Youzhou to meet Song Yi.
If Song Yi received the news from Gao Li's side, she would feel that Wan Yan Mingzhu saw her side but it was just to confuse him, but secretly she had already made a move against Gao Li, just to make Yan Yun's side not notice!
The news of the defeat on Goryeo's side has not yet come, and Song Yi actually doesn't have the heart to put it on that side, because he has now directly asked Wang Shu to plan and deduce these things. Song Yi himself was busy formulating the management method of Yan Yun's side, and with his brain power, all the useful information that he could think of had been put into Yan Yun.
This is like playing a game on the computer, and he has the actual right to build it, Song Yi can think of all the effective methods in his mind on Yan Yun's side, but he has to take into account the rationality, if he blindly carries the advanced scientific routines in the memory of his previous life, it is likely to backfire in such an era!
Therefore, Song Yi's most important means are still used in the development of farming, after all, this is only an era of farming.
In order for farming to develop, in addition to the necessary manpower, it is also necessary to have agricultural tools!
Song Yi spent some time studying the current farm tools, most people only have simple farm tools, and many farm jobs can only be done by manpower!
For example, in the case of ploughing, most people did not have oxen at this time, so they could only drag the plough forward with their shoulders, and what was even more difficult was that the plough at this time was very few made of iron, and most of them were still wooden.
Therefore, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, Song Yi's first thought is to replace the current farming tools, Yanyun has a large area of land that needs to be cultivated and cultivated, if there is no advanced farming tools to replace, the time required must be endless.
The replacement of farming tools must require a large amount of iron, although there are many iron mines in Yanyun, but the manpower to open the mine is insufficient, and the skills of iron-making and the people who master the skills are still limited.
For this point, Song Yi has already sent people to other places to hire some craftsmen and people who know how to make irons to come to Yanyun's side, in any era, not paying attention to the technique will be the biggest mistake!
Fortunately, the commerce of the Great Zhao Kingdom was very prosperous, and the emphasis on technology was far greater than that of other dynasties, and part of the credit for this must be attributed to Zhao Kuangyin's emphasis on literature and light on martial arts!
In terms of manpower, the only way Song Yi could think of was to make reasonable use of Yanyun's recruits at this time. After all, it is not necessary to fight all the time, so it is necessary to combine soldiers and civilians to open mines.
Of course, in order to keep the soldiers from being dissatisfied, a considerable remuneration will be given to the soldiers involved in the mining of the mines! As for the matter of mining, even if Song Yi does not mention it, there will be a large number of wealthy businessmen who are willing to participate.
The Wang family lost the unique advantage of Bianzhou, and the first benefit they got when they came to Youzhou was to have the right to open mines, which is also because the Wang family was a big shipbuilder, which had many craftsmen and people, although they didn't want to get along with mining, but Song Yi knew that there was one thing that would definitely play an important role in the Wang family in the future - that is, the armor of the ship.
If one day, Yanyun's iron ore is fully exploited, then with the increase of iron tools, some war scenes will be used, and although the water war does not seem to have much trend at this time, Song Yi has a more far-sighted vision.
In order to build a strong fleet, in addition to the ability to withstand wind and waves, it needs to be equipped with unique resistance and attack capabilities.
Advanced weapons such as guns and cannons Song Yishang was helpless, but covering the ship with a layer of 'armor' was not the first thing Song Yi thought of, what Song Yi had to do was not only to cover the ship with a layer of armor, but also to try to replace some parts of the ship with metal parts that could be replaced in the future.
Mining rights are forbidden to be private outside of Yanyun, and Yanyun is no exception, so the name of mining must be hung with the name of King Yanyun in the first place, and the imperial court is just a formality, and no one will really come to Yanyun to interfere! Even if he can interfere, then in another way, Song Yi only needs to secretly Chen Cang to do this thing, and there is no way for the imperial court
In addition to the Wang family, the first to get the mining rights were the Yan Gang, Yutou Zhang, and the Su family was equal to the most closely connected family in the Yanyun Palace.
And Song Yi didn't wait for the mining of the mine, so he had already begun to put away all the iron tools in the entire Yanyun and transform them into farm tools! And this kind of farm tool is not distributed to every household for free, so Yanyun still can't afford it.
Song Yi's method was to implement a lease system, and the farm tools were built from the blacksmith shop and then placed under the public management of each place! That is to say, if it is a village, then how many farm tools will be distributed by a village are managed by the government, and the farm tools that need to be used must be rented, and a small part of the money or goods must be paid for rent.
In addition to the cost of purchasing the farm implements themselves, the rest of this money becomes the surplus of the public household, and this surplus will be used at any time in the future to help the farm in special times.
The disadvantage of this method is that it is easy to lead to someone bullying others or enriching their own pockets, so Song Yi set up an exposé office outside the Yamen and Youzhou City anywhere without being able to change the official system, which is similar to the petitioning system.
This method can make some people restrain their greedy minds to a certain extent, although it can't completely eliminate some people who are bold, but Song Yi can only try to think of more ways to make fewer loopholes
