Chapter 207: Get Ready
Liang Guogong Mansion.
Fang Xuanling would definitely not send his eldest son to Liaodong.
After all, in the future, the other party will inherit his family business.
The second son Li Chong didn't want it, so he had to be wronged by the third son.
Now Fang Xuanling's third son happens to have no very good official position.
There's just one problem.
It was his three sons who married the daughter of Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing.
This county lord, if he said that she should go to Liaodong, I am afraid that she would have a big opinion.
Of course! Now Fang Xuanling can't care so much.
I told Li Chong that he could let his third son go.
Moreover, his youngest son has always been a bit low-key.
I feel like I can do things in a down-to-earth way.
Li Chong asked the other party to meet him.
And then......
After some interviews.
Li Chong said, "When the time comes, Laizhou in Shandong will become a transit point for materials from Liaodong and Jiangnan, and he can be responsible for deploying materials there."
You must know that Liaodong can't afford to raise an idler now.
And Fang Yi, in Li Chong's eyes, is an idler.
At least......
At present, Li Chong can't see that the other party has any special talents, so he can only ask him to do some miscellaneous work in Datang.
Li Zhong calculated that a steam tractor can plough 300 mu a day, and the land in eastern Liaodong is relatively easy to cultivate, because it is all black soil, and the geology is relatively soft, so it can plough 400 mu a day.
But five steam tractors are only 2,000 mu a day, and the area around Liaodong City can only grow one season of spring wheat a year at most, and the spring ploughing time is counted as 20 days.
In that year, they could only plant 40,000 acres at most.
Since the current wheat planting yield is still relatively low, it is generally only used as a backup grain, so the yield of one and a half stones per mu is already considered a bumper harvest.
Even if it has not been affected by natural disasters and has the blessing of black soil, the general output can reach more than 150 catties.
At the end of the year, they could only harvest six million catties of wheat.
Assuming that each person eats at least one pound of wheat a day for 365 days in a year, then the grain they produce in the whole year can only feed 16,000 people at most.
If there is a heavy rain during the wheat harvest season, after all, the climate of Liaodong is a temperate monsoon climate, and the rain and heat are at the same time.
That is, when spring wheat grows and matures, it is also the season of frequent rainfall in eastern Liaoning.
It is estimated that this output will have to be cut by at least half.
In other words, the output of five steam tractors can only feed 8,000 people at most.
Running Liaodong can be done when the Tang Dynasty is strong and the domestic grain is sufficient.
But......
This inevitably required the use of a large number of livestock and forced labor.
And......
Doing so for a long time will inevitably make the people complain.
This explains why it has been difficult to control this place since ancient times.
And obviously the land here is fertile, but Goguryeo still has to cut back on food and clothing.
Because of the output here, it is difficult to even support yourself.
Li Zhong still remembers that during the Ming Dynasty, it seems that it also operated Liaodong, and it is said that every year the Ming Dynasty used a lot of sea ships to transport grain. ….
On the day of transportation, sea vessels covered the entire surface of the sea.
Of course, Li Chong would not do such a heavy thing of conscription.
However, in the past few years, the support of this food and material is still very necessary.
After arriving in Liaodong, the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences will continue to build steam tractors in batches in the local area, and when the number of steam tractors increases, the number of people who can feed will increase.
It is unrealistic that Daliao cannot follow the route of a populous country. We can only take the line of capitalism and become a scientific and technological power.
Even, we must always pay attention to streamlining the administration of the army.
If you want to pull out casually, everyone is elite, and Da Liao can't afford to raise people who come over and eat bread for nothing.
Regarding how to develop Daliao in the future, Li Chong has also written a "Twenty-Year Development Plan for Liao" during this period of time.
When the time comes......
When they're leaving, just leave it to them.
Of course!
This plan is for reference only, the general direction must not be wrong, but the small details must be in place, and then depending on the specific manpower and material resources, and slightly adjusted.
Fang Xuanling heard that Li Chong did not let his son go directly to Liaodong, but stayed in Laizhou to be responsible for the deployment of materials, and after thinking about it, he also felt that it was okay.
At least......
Even if this is to join in, it will not let his son and daughter-in-law suffer.
Li Zhong then said bluntly: "But the ugly words are ahead, you must work hard, otherwise, even if you are in-laws, you will have no love to talk about."
When Fang Xuanling heard Li Chong's words, he also said bluntly: "This is nature."
After the discussion is over.
Lu Shi asked Li Chong to have a meal at the house and then leave, so he could only eat a meal and leave.
By the way, let's see how this country's mansion is different from my own.
When the time comes......
Go home and let the Wu family write it down.
……
In order to fill the number of the Academy of Sciences, this year, the Academy of Sciences also had to recruit again.
The elite soldiers and strong generals all went to Yangzhou and Liaodong.
Most of those who remain in Chang'an are apprentices.
But it's okay, at least......
It's still possible to fix the machines in the steam mill.
Li Chong divided a group of apprentices and tried to make a model of a steam airplane.
It may not be possible to build a very practical aircraft for the time being, but at the very least, they have to leave a direction for research.
In December of this year.
Almost everything that can be prepared, almost ready.
Hundreds of sets of cotton clothes have been made, and even quilts have been made.
Li Zhong felt that it was time to start letting the five little ones experience it.
Of course!
Now the Liaodong Bay and Laizhou Bay areas are just freezing, and it is estimated that the ice will not completely melt until February next year at the earliest, that is, the beginning of spring.
When the time comes......
Five small ones can directly cross the Bohai Sea by steamboat.
Right now......
As long as the five elementary schools do, they will go to Laizhou first to stand by.
On the way, by the way, I also brought the house relics.
The news of Yangzhou shipbuilding has also been transmitted back to Chang'an, and all ten steam ships have been completed, and all of them can be put into use normally.
These ten steam ships, each with a load of 2,000 stones, can be regarded as a relatively large ship in Datang at present.
Even, for the early Tang Dynasty, this can already be said to be one of the best ships.
Because no matter how big you are now, you don't have that need.
The only fly in the ointment is that the paddle wheel is used.
Li Chong also learned from the letter sent back by the craftsman that the ship could travel at least 300 miles a day with sufficient fuel.
It should only take two and a half days to cross the Bohai Sea with this ship, and it should only take two and a half days from Laizhou to Liaokou.
Li Er was also a little surprised when he saw the report.
Because normally, although he hasn't tried it, at least, in his opinion, it will take ten days and eight days.
