Food, it seems, is not a strategic material, but at all times, food affects strategy and tactics. To go to war? Look at how much money you have in your pocket, why go to war if you have no money or food? That's looking for death. The soldiers and horses have not been sent, do you understand the grain and grass first?

Steamed wine is for food, and there are no potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava, corn, and these four killer foods in this world, and all other grains are very important. Three catties of grain and one catty of wine, no matter whether the steamed wine is rice or millet or millet, one pound of drunken wine will save one catty of grain, one catty of grain, that is a lot of people's rations for two days.

This instruction at the foot of Mount Mahan was written in great detail, specifying not only the areas where to buy grain, but also how to store it. What everyone doesn't understand is that there is also a sentence that comes with the instructions, buy everything that can be eaten in large quantities, such as dried fruits, raw fruits. Dried fruits are collected, but raw fruits are used to make wine.

The profit of drunken immortal wine is very high, and if you steam one pound less, you will earn one or two silver less. In order to supplement shipments, the brewing was switched to raw fruit brewing, and then steaming the drunken immortal liquor. Although, the quality and quantity of the wine may be reduced, and the cost has risen, but the price can be raised in limited quantities to ensure the total profit, anyway, ordinary people can't afford to drink this thing, and all they earn is the silver of those rich people, and Ma Hanshan has no psychological burden.

The second directive on the important task is to produce full-fledged rope mines, grenades, and gasoline bottles, to produce a batch of ignition guns, and to step up the development of flintlock guns.

Whether it is an arquebus that appeared in another time and space or an ignition gun in Mahan Mountain, the principle is actually the same. But the advanced place of the gun in the tile tank village is that it has developed a fixed ammunition. The current so-called fixed ammunition is actually pre-loaded, and a good proportion of gunpowder and iron balls are stuffed into it from the muzzle, but it is because of the emergence of fixed ammunition that the speed of shooting has been greatly improved, and the shooting speed is the combat power, not to mention the increase in the speed of multiples, that is, a little increase, which is a fatal thing on the battlefield.

The third important instruction is to require hardware companies and foundry companies to improve the quality of hot drawn pipes, develop cold tied pipe machinery, and speed up the smelting of aluminum metal.

For a long time, all kinds of copper and iron pipes in the tile cylinder village are obtained by inverted mold casting. But the pipes cast by the inverted mold are not only rough, but also the output is too low. So, a lot of delicate things can't be produced at all.

Therefore, Zhang Machinery is a genius and a treasure of the tile cylinder village, because this guy is really good, not long after the successful development of the hydraulic stamping machine tool, he and Liu Guisan and others just got the machine and methods of hot rolling pipe according to the so-called "research direction" provided by Ma Hanshan.

Although the copper and iron pipes made in the tile pot village are still very rough and useless from the perspective of modern people, they are already very remarkable industrial products in Dasong. Without this hot-rolled pipe, Ma Hanshan would not have dared to lay tap water in the Special Economic Zone, and of course, the musket would not have dared to say mass production. Ma Han Gaoshan is now troubled by the fact that the iron pipe cannot be surface treated, although he knows that the iron pipe is galvanized, but let alone how to plate it, the world has not even made zinc.

What makes him happy is that now the metallurgy of the tile cylinder village has made great progress, and a variety of specifications of steel have been smelted, and even tungsten has been found and smelted into tungsten alloy.

For this reason, several disciples who play machinery and hardware treat Ma Hanshan as a god, because all achievements are achieved under Ma Hanshan's "guidance".

Don't underestimate this "pointing", direction is very important, and in many cases, it is because Mahanshan points out the direction, which can save researchers immeasurable time and effort.

Ma Hanshan felt that a big change was coming, so he was very nervous and felt that there were many, many things to prepare, but he also knew where the limit of the tile pot village was now, so he could only focus on food.

Therefore, the fourth order is to expand the population of the tile pot village, find suitable places for cultivation in the surrounding valleys, vigorously open up wasteland and cultivate fields, and order the production of mixed fertilizers at full speed, and research on pest control drugs.

The summer grain in the experimental field in Lin'an has been harvested, and the yield with mixed fertilizer and without mixed fertilizer is simply a world of difference. Therefore, Ma Hanshan believes that the formula and production method of mixed fertilizer are mature.

Ma Hanshan has rented a large area of paddy fields and dry land north of the SEZ and is preparing to experiment with the use of mixed fertilizer on a large scale, and if the results of the increase in autumn grain production are also satisfactory, then the mixed fertilizer will be introduced to the regional market next year. The acquisition of potassium and phosphorus from mixed fertilizers is no longer a problem, but the acquisition of nitrogen cannot be synthesized now, and it is still more troublesome to obtain. Therefore, although the mixed fertilizer is good, the yield is limited, and it can only be implemented in a limited number of areas.

Wagang Zhai received the instructions of the owner of Ma Da Zhai, the high-level held a one-day meeting, and held a meeting of all cadres, and then the relevant personnel according to the instructions of the owner of the village, each took office, Shi Hualong also led his battalion commander and company commander and four hundred selected militia to leave the Wagang Village.

However, not all of them went to Lin'an.

According to Ma Hanshan's arrangement, the three battalion commanders and three company commanders went east to Lin'an, and they would be responsible for selecting 4,000 soldiers of the New Army from the forbidden army, and then each of the three battalion commanders led a company commander to Xiangfan, Shouchun, and Tianshui to train the local border troops.

Naturally, the purpose of going to Xiangfan was to train the Xiangfan defenders and the army under the command of Jinghu, because Xiangfan had already established a military-civilian joint construction unit with Wagang Village, and the generals of the garrison had already seen the majesty of the militia, so the training of Xiangfan should be the most cooperative. Xiangfan is the gateway, the Xiangfan border army can cooperate well, and Ma Hanshan has little peace of mind.

Shouchun has veteran General Meng Zhong, and Ma Hanshan also believes that the cooperation of the border army is not a problem. The Tianshui Army on Lizhou Road, where he had a headache, was originally a fierce place in the west, and the generals of the Tianshui Army had military exploits, and it was estimated that it would not be so easy for them to hand over the soldiers to the people of the tile pot village for training. However, the whip commander of Mahanshan is beyond his reach, so he can only assign the battalion commander here his own ability.

As for the New Army, Ma Hanshan is not worried at all, not to mention that the division commander of the New Army, Meng Lianghui, is a fresh and hot hero, just with the treatment of the New Army, the soldiers will definitely train with their lives, in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, when did Qiu Ba have such treatment? When did someone treat Qiu Ba as a human being? But the new army is different, just looking at the military regulations and treatment, those Qiu Ba who are comparable to untouchables can die to the ground.

On this day, Ma Hanshan was looking at the transcribed list of forbidden troops, shaking his head while reading, not scolding his mother in his mouth, what the fuck are they, this is the forbidden army of Da Song? Da Song is lucky, such a forbidden army only lost half of the country and did not cover the country, it is really lucky, the ancestors blessed.

If Long Guangning's ancestors heard this, they would probably jump out of the coffin, what kind of words is this, losing half of the country is called lucky.

Dasong's forbidden army is the Central Army, which is the main force to protect the country, but Ma Hanshan saw from the roster that this forbidden army is simply a waste. Weight and height are completely disproportionate, the skinny are extremely thin, and there are also fat ones, but the fat ones are also extremely fat, the tall ones are extremely tall, and the short ones are also extremely short. The worst thing is that all the people, the height and weight are completely disproportionate, which shows that some of them are full to death, some are starving, can such an army fight?

"Report." Ma Hanshan was scolding and looking at the roster, and the security guard 147 suddenly came in to report.

"What's the matter?" Mahanshan didn't look up.

"Lord Hu, the prefect of Qingyuan, has arrived." One Forty-Seven said in a suppressed voice.

He suppressed his voice because the so-called invitation was forcibly invited, and Hu Yu was "invited" by them on the road before he entered the city. This is equivalent to kidnapping officials, 147 is afraid.

"Well, please bring him in." Ma Hanshan originally wanted to go to the front yard hall to see Hu Yu, but after thinking about it, let's see him in the backyard, this kind of thing should not be known to more people.

Ma Hanshan wanted to see Hu Yu because he wanted Hu Yu to ask the emperor to send envoys to visit Xixia, Xixia and Dali, of course, the most important thing was to let him recommend Bi Liancheng to make Xixia and recommend Yu Yu to Dali.

"Master Hu, meet again, sit, sit, come, serve tea ......." Ma Hanshan smiled and asked Hu Yu to sit down.

Hu Yu didn't sit down, but angrily stepped forward and glared at Ma Hanshan and said, "The surname Ma, don't go too far, it's a big deal that the fish will die and the net will be broken, and it will be scattered in two." ”

"Master Hu, why do you say this? When did Ma offend Master Hu? Hurt Lord Hu? Master Hu, don't forget, the great contribution you have just made is all because you are here, otherwise, how could you make such a great achievement, get promoted and make a fortune, you don't thank you for it, but you speak ill of me, this is... Is this the virtue of you scholars? Ma Hanshan was still smiling.

Hu Yu thought about it, as if his own merits were all because of this kid.

Still, he was upset that he had a lot of tricks in the hands of this bastard.

Now he Hu Yu is also a big man, but he is being manipulated by a little bastard in his teens, which is very uncomfortable.

"Hmph, so what." Although Hu Yu was angry, he had no choice but to sit down hatefully and wait for Ma Hanshan to say something.

"It's not like that, I admire Master Hu below, so I keep giving credit." Ma Hanshan sat opposite Hu Yu with a smile, made a gesture of please, and said, "Lord Hu, please have tea." ”

"If you have something to say, let it go if you have a fart." Hu Yu didn't appreciate it.

"Well, I heard that the emperor is going to send Lord Hu to envoy to Beimeng?" Ma Hanshan squinted his eyes and said, "Congratulations to Master Hu, you are going to be promoted and make a fortune again." ”

"What the hell was your idea? No way....... Hu Yu was very surprised, but he immediately denied his suspicions, how could it be, how could a grass man be connected with the major affairs of the court.

"Lord Hu, how is it possible, I just think that while Lord Hu is promoted and made a fortune, he should also share the worries of the court and promote his colleagues." Ma Hanshan paused for a moment and said, "I invite Lord Hu to come, I want to ask for something, and I hope that Lord Hu can go up and ask the imperial court to send envoys to Xixia, Xifan, and Dali." ”

"Why?" Hu Yu was very surprised and puzzled, what does this kid want to do?

"Oh, Lord Hu, it's the same reason as making Beimeng, Mubang." Ma Hanshan said lightly, "Why do you think about it yourself, but you have to recommend Bi Liancheng to make Xixia, and the rest of the price to make Dali ......." ”
