Yang Shen is right, now it is not a shortage of food, but that there is too much food to put down, last time Zhu Houxi played ruthlessly, hollowing out the granaries of many big landlords, anyway, there will be no shortage of food for a long time.

"That's what I said, do you know if you're in danger in times of peace, it's not my character to sit and eat the mountains, and you also know that I played too hard last time, and basically all of them were empty, so what should we do next time, there is no one, or find a way to increase grain production, with food, animal husbandry can also be developed, how good."

Many things complement each other, and food is the most basic, as long as food production goes up, everything else is easy to say.

"Although what Your Majesty said is very reasonable, but Wei Chen remembers that it has been half a year since the two teams set off, is it easy to get the hybrid rice that Your Majesty said?" Yang Shen was speechless, every time he was like this, obviously the task was very complicated, but it had only been a long time before he came to urge, although His Majesty did not mean it, but it was quite speechless.

The progress over there is already very fast, the farmland has been integrated and started planting, this is already a very fast speed, the grain is grown in the ground, he can't conjure up food out of thin air, he also hopes to get good news now, but how is this possible, the first season of grain has not grown yet.

He is also concerned about this matter, after all, if this thing is really as magical as His Majesty said, then Daming can completely feed more people, and as long as there is enough food, many problems are no longer a problem.

With the fact that His Majesty said that the impossible items were created by his own hands, he had already been impressed by His Majesty, and he was convinced of the rice that His Majesty said at will, and he believed that as long as the time was enough, he could always get it out, and if he couldn't get it, it meant that the method was wrong and he needed to change the method.

But it takes time, you can't give me the task today, let me come up with the results tomorrow, Your Majesty always selectively forgets time.

"Ah, it's only been such a short time, I thought it had been a long time, not in a hurry, not in a hurry." Zhu Houxi didn't get angry after being told, he really forgot, he felt as if a long time had passed, and asked about the progress of the experiment.

In fact, he can't be blamed, a lot of things did happen during this time, a battle was over, in ancient times, it was common for a big war to drag down the whole country for three and a half years, this time it was fought too fast, so that he thought that a long time had passed.

Before, it was said that it would be enough to get a preliminary result in three years and five years, but this is not this time or that, he is in a hurry to expand the army, but the expansion of the army represents the consumption of food, even if he has more food in his hand, he will not dare to do this, after all, there is so much in his hands, and this is a small part of the country's reserve grain, and he can't do it again in the future.

"Alas, don't worry, Your Majesty, this matter is not in a hurry." Yang Shen sighed, he also knew that he had lost his temper before, but it was not once or twice, His Majesty was in a hurry, to be honest, he was ten thousand times more anxious than His Majesty, but what should I do, this is the case, and I can't be in a hurry.

"Forget it, this matter is really not urgent, you just pay attention to it, try to meet any difficulties, this is the most important thing, as for the rest, how is the weapon research and development, can it afford a military parade?"

Zhu Houyu is still thinking about the military parade, after all, Zhu Houyu's focus is on the country for a long time in the future, and it is best to be able to deter Xiaoxiao and obtain a relatively safe period of development, otherwise although Zhu Houyu doesn't take those guys' methods to heart, it is disgusting, and many things must be cooperated with them.

Again, the decision of the upper echelons still has to be conveyed to the people through the grassroots officials, and they don't care what they think, whether they are sincere or sincere, or whether they are yin or yang, as long as they can convey his measures downward.

He also wants to build academies all over the country, and when the time comes, when his talents are formed, they will all be replaced, and let them be arrogant to me.

"Well, Wechen didn't continue to develop new weapons, but the power of gunpowder has been further improved, if you want to have a military parade, it's not that you can't hold it, many things can blind their eyes, the key depends on how big Your Majesty wants to do, but according to Wechen, it's not necessary at all, at present, the transmission of news, mostly relying on word of mouth, let's play so big, even if they see it, but someone has to believe it, and it also increases the risk of exposure, why bother."

Yang Shen shrugged his shoulders, there was nothing wrong with his thoughts, such a powerful thing, if he hadn't made it himself, Yang Shen himself wouldn't believe it, someone had to believe it, no one believed that what was the point of making such a military parade with such a hard time, and it also increased the risk of exposure, and the benefits were not proportional to the risks at all.

But that's what he said, and if His Majesty really insisted, he would agree.

"What you said also has a little bit of truth, but I still want to make a show, so let's do it, don't do those hard ballads, get some spears, just make a few cannons to make a debut, deter them, just hide the good things first, so as not to be scared, the protagonist still has to look at Qi Jingtong and them, you give them some new armor, a little more domineering, it looks very awesome at first glance."

Zhu Houxi touched his chin, what he said is very reasonable, his current technology is too advanced, who can accept it in a normal person, for example, one day a person told you that he had seen a weapon that could blow up a planet with one shot, and he saw it with his own eyes, you said you can believe it, and you will definitely not believe it.

At this time, the most attractive thing is the cold weapon, make some performance armor or something, just scare and scare, and get some hot weapons, it should be about the same.

"That's fine, how much is appropriate?" There are not many other craftsmen in the brocade guard, and there are no problems with armor bows and crossbows, these have also been studied, and a lot of good things have been made, but compared with firearms, it is time-consuming and laborious, so although there is, there are not many of them.

"All the equipment can be equipped with an army of 5,000 people, and there is no need to get too much, in the end, it depends on your own means, if you don't have a long eye, you can destroy a few first." Although everything is simple, but it should still be done, maybe it is also because I have watched the parade too much before, although I know that this is more of a performance nature, but it is really easy to make people's blood rush when it looks at it, and he feels that it is still necessary to get one.

"No." This time, Yang Shen didn't say much and agreed directly, these are all trivial things, some equipment, and they will work overtime quickly.

"Well, by the way, did you get a steam engine?" There is no other idea, Zhu Houxi just wants to be a little more convenient, the passage is too inconvenient, if the steam engine is made, and now the coal mine also has it, then the railway can be laid, relatively speaking, it will be much more convenient to travel, I will arrive in three or five days before the journey of ten days and months, which is very important strategically.

I can send troops to arrive at any time, do you dare to be arrogant, and why is the place difficult to manage now, that is, the emperor is far away, even if the central government sends people, it will take several months just to come and go, and the distance is too far to pass the news, in case of any accident and death on the road, I don't know who killed it, it's really too inconvenient.

Well, according to the principle that His Majesty said, we can build a simple steam engine, but it will take some time to achieve the kind of craftsmanship Your Majesty said, and the main goal now is weapon research and development, and the steam engine can't be made at present.

Yang Shen is also very straightforward, anyway, there are so many of me, all of them are making weapons and equipment, and the principle of the steam engine has not yet been figured out, so I can't figure it out for the time being.

"Let the R&D department hurry up, this is a good thing." This time, Zhu Houxi didn't say anything, just urged, after all, weapon construction is given priority, that's what he said, even now, it seems that there is nothing wrong, and he won't panic when he has a gun in his hand.

"No, but isn't it just a steam engine, what's the use of making it?" Yang Shen was a little puzzled, what is the use of a steam engine in the light, and the follow-up things have to be developed, which is very slow.

"Do you know about trains?"

"Yes." He'd heard of these things, the iron guy who could run, and it sounded funny.

"The head of the train can be pulled by a steam engine, as long as we lay the tracks, can you think that it may be enough for us to go to the Tatar tribe for two or three days, do you understand the strategic importance of this? Moreover, a large number of materials can be transported by train, saving a large number of people, and these saved people can be engaged in other jobs. ”

Railways are too important, especially for a country with a lot of land and resources, and it can also reasonably mobilize local resources, Shanxi has a lot of coal resources, but I can't rely on horse-drawn carriages to transport it.

"That's it, but have you ever thought about how much iron we need to lay the railway, and how many craftsmen are needed, this project is too huge." To be honest, Yang Shen didn't think about it, but he didn't think that this was something that the Ming Dynasty could support at present, not to mention anything else, where did so many iron mines come from, the number of craftsmen was definitely not enough, they all went to build the railway, and other things didn't work?

"Let's overcome what we lack, besides, let's take a long-term view, once the railway is completed, our army can descend from the sky at any time, and we don't have to worry about logistics and supplies, how good." However, when Zhu Houxi was said to be in such a hurry, he realized that he was in a hurry after all, and it was really difficult for him to get what the West had done in the past hundred years within a few years.

"What you said is also very reasonable, then I will send someone to study it, and then I will develop the locomotive first, but Your Majesty, can we hold on a little longer, and told me a few days ago that we would build more weapons, and now it will become a railway, and this will change too quickly." Yang Shen didn't object, he just suggested that it be postponed a little, since His Majesty wanted to do it, then get it.

"Look at what you said, I also judge the direction of the future according to the current situation, you said that it was time to build weapons with all your strength before, and now that the Tatars have stopped a little, we also have to think of internal construction, and the focus will naturally change slightly, right?"

Zhu Houxi is still more patient to explain, he also knows that it is not good to change the order of the day, but this is not to blame him, one day at a time, how can he know what will happen tomorrow, but in general, he must hope that the country will be better.

"Yes, yes, you're right, I can only say that I'll try my best, it's really inconvenient to do it underground, I'd better put the matter of building the city on the agenda first." Yang Shen sighed, Your Majesty is indeed far-sighted and unconvinced, although sometimes it is quite annoying.

Saying.. Edition. 】

However, there is such a leader who makes people very square, and will not feel confused about the future, His Majesty will always point out the direction for the future, as a subordinate is still very comfortable, and he is very happy to be busy, but it is inevitable that he will complain, but fortunately, His Majesty is tolerant and generous, so for His Majesty, he really has nothing to demand, and the Holy Monarch of the ages may not be able to do this, what else can he blame.

"Well, you just look at it, all I can help you is to give you a direction, and the rest is more dependent on yourself." Zhu Houxi nodded slightly, he knew that these people were not easy, but what to do, there was not much momentum he could help, at most they would have to work hard in one direction.

"It's not hard, it's our honor to be able to serve Your Majesty." Without His Majesty's guidance, how could they have come up with such powerful weapons, seen a wider world, and felt that their former selves were like frogs at the bottom of a well.

Now he did see another world, a different world, after all, everything passed through his hands, and there were some things that Yan Song didn't know, but he knew it very well.

For example, the repeating pistol that is being developed now, the sample has come out, and only one gun can be suppressed by firepower, of course, the barrel may not work for a few minutes, but if this amount comes up and is replaced with a point fire, it will be different, and then a few people may be able to compare an army, and the times have changed.

He doesn't know if it's good or bad, he always feels that if he continues, it will become uncontrollable, but His Majesty can't help it if he doesn't say stop, and he himself doesn't want to stop, he also wants to see what the world will be like in the future, which is a very ambivalent psychology.

"Okay, then let's do it, take your time, there should be a time for peaceful development later, if there are no moths, even if there are any moths, the current Ming is completely enough to deal with it, you have worked hard for this time, take a good rest."

"It's not hard, it's all for Your Majesty, for Daming." Yang Shen had tears in his eyes, it didn't matter if he worked hard, what he needed was to be recognized.

Zhu Houxi didn't turn around, just nodded slightly and left.
