Except for the early days of personal hygiene, Yang Chengying once interfered with charcoal, soap and mosquito coils, basically no longer bothered with the details.

On the one hand, because of the different identities, there are more things to deal with.

The bigger reason is that this ancient nation has thousands of years of civilization achievements, which is broad and profound.

To put it bluntly, it is already the ceiling of ancient civilizations.

Without changing the motivation, it is difficult to make progress.

This is the same as the de facto stagnation of fundamental physics in the 21st century.

If you want to unlock a civilization in a higher dimension, you need to find new ways.

For example, reform the way of "boiling water"!

"Why do you think it's 'wind'?" Yang Chengying asked.

"On the way to escape, the grass people noticed that some squires had windmills at home, and we could also use the wind."

Fang Gu was no longer so nervous.

"What else but the wind?" Yang Chengying asked again.

"Cow, that's fine."

Fang Gu replied in a low voice.

"What about cattle and donkeys?"

Yang Chengying was patient and continued to instruct.

Fang Gu thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "No." ”

Yang Chengying smiled: "What if I said that boiling water can also be used as power? ”

"Boil water?" Fang Gu was completely stunned, "What is boiling water?" ”

"It's just that after the water boils, the steam that comes out makes you can't hold the lid down."

Yang Chengying made some simple analogies.

Fang Gu still shook her head.

With her level of education, it is difficult to understand this.

Yang Chengying sighed in his heart, he was still too anxious, so he had to say: "It's very troublesome to explain, I think, let the guards take you to the Tiangong Bureau, and the director will tell you these more appropriate." ”

"Go to the Heavenly Works Bureau? I? Fang Gu was taken aback.

"Yes, study hard, watch well, and you will understand the meaning of what I just said."

Yang Chengying said: "Of course, after you go, you can also tell Mr. Song about our conversation, and he will understand what I mean by letting you go to him as soon as he hears it." ”

"Yes, the grass people obey." Fang Gu gave a salute.

Observation is the secret of the continuous development of human beings.

Fang Gu has a keen sense of observation and has the ability to never forget, and with a little cultivation, she will definitely be different.

While paying attention to the relationship between the textile wheel and the steam engine, Yang Chengying also made further reforms in the military.

He abolished the previous content of the general and thousand households, and changed it to a military rank.

This is similar to the standard of a modern army, that is, a major general concurrently serves as the commander of a certain division.

Rank of general - general, lieutenant general, major general, brigadier general.

Among them, there are five levels of generals, from one-star to five-star generals.

The more stars, the higher the level, and the higher the treatment.

Colonel – Colonel, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major, Varsal.

Rank of lieutenant - first lieutenant, captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant, warrant officer.

Non-commissioned officers - sergeant majors of the first, second, and third grades, and sergeants of the upper and lower ranks.

Soldiers - privates, privates and privates.

The military rank corresponds to the position, but like the civilian officer, the military rank enjoys the treatment and may not be able to hold this position.

The reason why there are so many military ranks is also because in wartime, it is impossible for everyone to have a military position.

Some people, who have been in the army for seven years, are only at the level of a sentry commander in the army.

When you retire, your rank is a sign of what you can enjoy.

Except for the non-tax exemption, everything else is easy to discuss.

This is a perfect and supplementary to the retirement system, and the only goal is to strengthen the loyalty of the army and improve its combat effectiveness.

And at the honorary meeting after the Salt and Iron Conference, the commanders of each army were officially awarded military ranks.

At the same time, Huang Taiji's side is also fighting hard.

Shenyang City, gunpowder workshop.

Huang Taiji, accompanied by Liu Xingzhi, inspected the production of the workshop.

It is Tong Yang who manages the workshop.

Tong Yangxing is also the commander of Wuzhen Chaoha, supervising the casting of forty cannons of the general.

After listening to Tong Yangxing's report on the storage of gunpowder, Liu Xingzhi frowned and said, "Is there a little less in storage?" ”

"It's a little little, indeed."

Tong Yangxing smiled helplessly, "However, the scale of our workshop is close to that of the Liaodong Army. ”

"Hey, why is the yield so bad?"

Liu Xingzhi didn't understand.

Huang Taiji smiled bitterly: "Yang Chengying has his back to the sea and can get gunpowder from Shandong and other places." The foreigners also sold him cannons, and he should have hundreds of cannons there. ”

"The specifics are not clear, but there are not many differences." Tong Yang sex interface.

"Then let's just take the waterway, there is a river in the north, called Doumanjiang, from where you can go to the sea."

Hearing Liu Xingzhi's words, Huang Taiji sighed deeply.

Liu Xingzhi's naivety is a hidden pain in Huang Taiji's heart.

Who doesn't want to have an outlet to the sea, but the Douman River is not enough to drive a big ship, and the ice has been frozen for too long.

"It's okay to go out to sea to fish from that river, but it's impossible to transport a lot of supplies."

"And it's frozen for a long time, so it's very difficult for ships to berth. Yang Cheng should go to sea in November and return in April to avoid the ice period.

The ice floes at sea are extremely lethal, and if you don't do it, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. ”

"I see." Liu Xingzhi nodded.

If Liu Xingzuo said this, Huang Taiji must have thought that he was pretending to be stupid.

Liu Xingzhi is not at all.

This is also the reason why Huang Taiji and Liu Xingzhi are very close, but estranged from Liu Xingzuo.

I had just come out of the gunpowder workshop and was about to take a look at the cannon, when I heard the sound of a farrier stepping on the street.

Turning his head, it turned out that Sakhalian had returned.

Huang Taiji glanced at Sakhalian, Sakhalian dismounted, and the two monarchs and ministers stepped aside.

"Great Khan, Yang Chengying has returned, and he is reorganizing the army."

Sakhalian reported in a low voice: "He has set up military ranks, and meritorious generals receive military ranks, and after they are discharged from the army, they can also enjoy the corresponding treatment of military ranks, and they are not hereditary." ”

"Looks like he's ready to attack us." Huang Taiji frowned.

These days, Huang Taiji went west to recover the Weng Niu Special Division, went north to capture the savage Jurchens, appeased the Han people internally, and continued to accumulate strength.

It's for this day.

"It's hard to say." Sakhalian said, "Yang Cheng should reorganize the army, completely bring the Guanning army under his command, and let them prepare chariots and horses. ”

When he received this information, Sakhalian was also confused.

What are you going to do with the horses? If it is to fight the Dajin Kingdom, it should also be prepared in Haizhou.

"He's going to fight Lin Dan Khan!"

Huang Taiji accurately judged, "In the vast grassland, it is very difficult to transport supplies, and only the army can barely survive with its own food." ”

"Oh, I see."

Sakhalian suddenly remembered something, "I heard from the lama on the steppe that the living Buddha of Dazhao Monastery sent people to invite the Tibetan Khan of Tibet, and the envoy of Oirat Mongolia also seemed to have gone to Dazhao Monastery. ”

"This kid is not ambitious, and he has shifted his attention to the plateau."

Huang Taiji gasped.
