Dongqin in May is the rainiest season, and the abundant water makes the Yan'an River more and more turbulent.

Several students are measuring the depth of the water in the rain, and they have to constantly improve the records of climate, water conditions, and daily temperatures to ensure that they have a deeper understanding of the weather in Dongqin.

The workers of the 100th Institute also took advantage of the rain to test the newly shaped animal-powered rice transplanter.

At present, the research and development of animal power rice transplanters and rice harvesters has entered the final stage.

In fact, this is not scientific research, it is purely made according to the drawings, and after overcoming the key transmission of the chain, there is no problem in the manufacture of these two machines.

It's a pity that the cost is a bit high, and ordinary people may not be willing to use it.

Fortunately, with the new farm, the government directly allocated funds and purchased 500 units.

This is enough to make the production plant operational, and the cost can be reduced, as long as we continue to improve standardization and large-scale production, within a few years, to ensure that the people can also accept.

After all, this is a farm machine for farming, and as long as it can make farming light and efficient, even if it is a year's investment, these farmers will be willing to buy it.

Yan Zheng was also very enthusiastic about this, not only posted a front-page article, but also put the first-generation machine directly to the supply and marketing cooperative, so that all citizens could visit.

Breakthroughs and achievements have been made in the rest of the key projects.

Even in textile mills, a female worker invented a working method that allowed a single female worker to take care of two looms.

Yan Zheng was very happy and immediately commended him, and this method was also named "He Chrysanthemum Textile Method".

This is also the first worker's subjective innovation and discovery, if you don't reward and commend, it's simply sorry for this opportunity to publicize.

Therefore, he took advantage of the situation and asked the court parliament to pass the "Huaxia Patent Law", saying that in the future, individual inventions can apply for patent protection, and if they are used without paying patent fees, they will be hanged directly.

There is no way, the purpose of such an extreme is to ensure the implementation of positive feedback, after all, the patent fee is not high, if you do not strictly deal with those who are cheating and cheating, you will only waste more manpower and material resources on the protection of patents.

The first rifled guns have been rolled off the assembly line, and rifled guns have been produced day and night.

Half of the expansion has been completed, and if it is not for picking, I am afraid that the other half has also been completed.

All this shows that the people's sense of belonging and autonomy are improving, and the organizational strength of the entire Eastern Qin has also been improved to a higher level.

……

Ma Wensheng came to Dongqin in this drizzly season.

Since it is used at the same time, it is natural to caress it.

He originally planned to speak righteously and speak with the king of the Emperor, but all the way from Yangang, his traditional Confucian arrogance seemed to be taken away.

Due to the increase in the amount of water in the river, he was not arranged to take a boat, but a train!

The Yangang Railway is now 12 kilometers long, and in addition to transporting goods, it has also opened passenger carriages. Twelve miles away, a market town had already been formed.

Ma Wensheng was like an ignorant child, at first he was still immersed in the strangeness of the salt port, but when he saw the train, he was shocked to the extreme.

He trembled and got into the car and sat down with the people.

When the whistle sounded and the train moved slowly, his whole body was like an out-of-body soul!

Nine of the ten carriages of a train are loaded with coal, but they can run as freely as the wind!

In other words, the thing called the train can pull 10,000 catties of things and travel hundreds of miles a day!

This is beyond Ma Wensheng's cognition, such a divine and ghostly power, so that he not only asks rhetorically, can these black people really be able to understand the gods?

In less than half an hour, he got out of the carriage and was carried into the carriage in a daze.

The carriage was galloping fast, and he could see the scenery on both sides of the strait through the glass window, only to see the neat and scattered regulations.

Whether it is a house or a farmland, it seems to be extremely orderly.

He couldn't help but sigh, the people strive for perfection in doing things, and this is the only way to defeat the Ming Dynasty!

The people on the road were also ruddy-faced, and most of them were talking and laughing in groups, looking extremely comfortable.

Ma Wensheng also despised the people a little in the past, but this time he went to Dongqin in person, and he actually faintly admired the people in his heart!

After the carriage entered the city of Me, he felt that this small city was full of fire and flowers!

The pedestrians on the street also seem to be heroic, especially when he sees young men and women talking and laughing side by side on the street, which makes him feel very bottomless.

The customs and habits of the Huang people, and even the concept of treating things, are very different from those of the Ming Dynasty!

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he has never encountered such a peculiar opponent.

Soon, his carriage stopped at the gate of the Third Courtyard, looking at the wooden board with black characters on a white background, Ma Wensheng found that this was actually the location of the imperial court of Eastern Qin.

This made him deeply realize that the simple style of the black man is indeed true. They possess such power, but they are not good at enjoyment, and even silk clothes are rare on the streets.

Even the dignified court was nothing more than three four-story red houses, and the accompanying cadres were only wearing short clothes without skirts.

Ma Wensheng sighed secretly in his heart, in all aspects, the people are more in line with the style of the ancient gentlemen.

They are frank and not pedantic, strict and disciplined, simple and not extravagant, and have the courage to dare to think and do.

Ma Wensheng's arrogance was taken away again, he didn't want to admit it, but in his heart he was telling him that if he went against the people, Daming would suffer!

After entering the red room, his attitude was already quite humble, and he didn't mention that he wanted to have a verbal battle with the king of Huang, but only arched his hand and said: "The foreign minister has seen the king of Eastern Qin!"

Yan Zheng was leaning on the chair, and he already knew the news of Liu Daxia's governor of Zhejiang.

From this point of view, it is indeed like Portugal occupying Shuangyu in another time and space, the Ming court is intolerable after all, and some people put naked threats at the southeast gate.

"Foreign Envoy, please be seated! Serve tea! ”

After Ma Wensheng thanked him, he sat down and looked at this king with a good look.

At first glance, he felt young, which made him even less confident, and the young hero was mostly temperamental and extremely confident.

"I already know the intention of your envoy's coming, I still say the same thing, the three mouths of the Ming Dynasty are trade, and our army will retreat!" Yan Zheng spoke.

Ma Wensheng thought for a while, and arched his hand: "This matter is difficult to follow, the Ming Dynasty is very different from the Eastern Qin, if the port is opened, it is against the ancestral system, and there is a lot of resistance in the DPRK and China, even if the Ming Emperor wants to open the port, I am afraid that he will not be able to block this leisurely mouth!"

"Besides, isn't the king also free to trade at this moment? I dare not guarantee that as long as the king is willing to withdraw his troops, then the trade of Eastern Qin in Daming will always be able to go on like this! ”

Yan Zheng nodded, Ma Wensheng is a real person, but what he doesn't understand is that the difference between smuggling and switching is huge.

Dongqin did this in order to expand the market and take the Ming Dynasty to modern times!

If the Ming Dynasty does not switch it, how can tariffs become a heavy tax on the Ming Dynasty? If the tariffs are not prosperous, how can the Ming court be a comprador with peace of mind?

So although what Ma Wensheng said makes sense, the limitations are there.

"Smuggling is illegal after all, and many things are not easy to do! The switch is good for Daming, and it is also good for Dongqin, I still hope that Daming can consider one or two! As for Shuangyu Island, our army can withdraw part of its troops first, thinking that it is sincere! Yan Zheng said.

Ma Wensheng sighed in his heart, knowing that this was the retreat of the King of Huang, after thinking for a while, he pleaded in a pleading tone: "King, you should all withdraw!" I look at your governance, and you are also quite merciful, and now that Lord Liu is the governor, it is already the anger of the imperial court! If so...... There are really unbearable things happening, aren't they still the people of the Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Qin Dynasty who suffer? ”

Yan Zheng shook his head with a smile and said, "You are quite honest!" However, my Eastern Qin is not the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty does have to suffer the people when it fights, but the war in the Eastern Qin Dynasty can stimulate the manufacturing industry...... Stimulate all kinds of industries, many factories and workers, can benefit from the war! This is the uniqueness of my Dongqin, and it is also incomparable to the Ming Dynasty! ”

"So I still hope you think about it, it's better to switch it off! Otherwise, I will never back down on Shuangyu Island, after all, this is what our Eastern Qin soldiers exchanged for blood. ”

If Ma Wensheng hadn't seen those things before, he would definitely feel that King Huang was boasting, but at this moment, he actually felt that this might be true.

"Alas, just...... It's just that this matter is really extremely difficult to do! ”

"If it's difficult, let it be! I'll give you another face, withdraw two more battalions from Shuangyu Island, and promise not to increase the number of troops again! ”

Ma Wensheng sighed helplessly, so he had to thank him.

…………

After Ma Wensheng retreated, Yan Zheng sighed secretly.

The negotiation at this moment is nothing more than a false and wrongful snake, and he also read from Ma Wensheng's words that Da Ming has the heart to fight.

He deliberately said the promise to withdraw the troops, but also to make Da Ming firm this determination.

It's like holding Da Ming's egg, but telling him that I won't use force, and when Da Ming wants to break free, he will exert force.

So as soon as Ma Wensheng left, Yan Zheng wrote an article "The Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to discuss the ownership of Shuangyu, and proposed that our army must withdraw from Shuangyu unconditionally!" 》

He also ordered Xiao Erlin, who was engaged in theoretical research, to write a few articles to discredit the Ming Dynasty, such as why the Ming army killed good people and risked merits, such as why the Ming army was lax in military discipline.
