Kaiping Railway Station.

The steam engine train from the north stopped at the platform, and many passengers came out of the carriage, including two young men.

"Cousin, go to my house for the night, I'll send you to take the train tomorrow morning."

"Forget it, there are a lot of things in the mine now, and it's not easy to take four days off in a row, let's go back next time."

Hearing his cousin's refusal, the young man was very sorry.

"Thanks to my cousin, I haven't been able to find the opportunity to thank my cousin, and now it's hard to even have a meal at home."

"We are brothers, so there is no need to talk about it."

After the young man was politely refused, he had no choice but to say goodbye to his cousin on the platform, and the train restarted and left the station.

The young man went to the supply and marketing cooperatives next to him to buy some dried fruits, rushed all the way to Kaiping Zhongzuo, and arrived home at noon.

There is only one woman in the house.

"Mother, I'm back."

When the woman heard the voice, she looked at her with joy, "Didn't you say that the mine was very busy, why did you come back suddenly?" ”

The young man laughed: "The mining association raided and fined the owner a large sum of money and forced our miners to take four days off. ”

The employment situation of the mines in the north of Kaiping is different from that in Beiping.

One is the miners recruited by the mine from Beiping itself, and the other is the miners sent to the mine by Taiji.

The former belongs to the mine's own workers and is governed by the rules and regulations of the mining association, while the latter is a management system negotiated between the mine and Taiji.

In order to avoid opposition from the Taiji, the mining association does not currently have the right to directly regulate the latter.

"Seriously, no?"

The woman looked worried.

"It's not serious, our big proprietor is Zhang Dehui, the family has a big business, and the most important thing in the family is food stamps, but it is the warning letter issued that gives the big proprietor a headache."

Nowadays, the old Beiping people rarely talk about silver and money, and the frequency of food stamps is higher.

"Why didn't your cousin come? Back then, I introduced a job for the family, and it was only two years better, and then your cousin came to give advice, and you didn't listen to persuasion, and the business really turned yellow, and then I helped you find a job, and I always wanted to thank him. ”

"His home is far away and he doesn't want to delay."

"Alas, life is better, but people are busier, and they don't know what's going on." The woman sighed.

"Big?" The young man asked nonchalantly.

"You went to the fields early in the morning."

"I'm going to help."

The young man put down the gift box and went straight to the field.

This family was the owner of the honeycomb coal workshop in the west of Beiping, but they did not expect to move to Kaiping.

The young man entered Zhang Dehui's mine work, turned into a military worker, and became the backbone of the mine.

Zhang Dehui naturally will not miss the Kaiping development project, and has long invested in Kaiping to open a mine.

is different from the current celebrity Zhang Bo's capital model, Zhang Dehui has deep relationships and strong capital, so he goes more securely, although the speed is also a lot slower.

The young man and his cousin were sent to work in the northern mines of Kaiping.

There are few people in the open flat land, and the welfare is high.

After his cousin's idea, the young man persuaded his parents to come to Kaiping, and sure enough, he divided fifteen acres of land, and even allocated a house.

It's just that the house is very simple, and the young people have thought about it, and one day they will build a group and build a house here.

I really couldn't wait, so I paid for the brick house by myself.

It's not just fifteen acres of land, but the family is weak, and fifteen acres of land is already the upper limit, and no matter how much you can't plant.

The young man was reluctant to stay on the land, and if he stayed at home, it would not be a problem to contract thirty acres of land.

The money saved in the two years when the family opened a honeycomb coal workshop, plus his own wages in the past few years, as well as his parents' savings from farming.

The family is enough to buy a team-building house.

The terrain of Kaiping is open, the acres of land are neatly built, and the squares are pleasing to the eye.

On the ridge, a columbic car engraved with the brand of the first factory of Beiping farm tools was parked.

The old man next to him was loading bean seeds in the pocket of the cart, and the ploughing ox was eating the grass on the ridge with his head bowed on the side.

"Big, this car is easy to use."

Hearing the voice behind him, the stubborn little old man made a straight face and scolded: "It's a waste of money." ”

The young man didn't take it seriously, he was used to his father's style, and he helped to load the bean seeds with a smile.

"This cocoon is a new product, and unlike the traditional cocoon car, many parts are made of fine iron, so it needs to be twice as labor-saving."

"After planting the land for a lifetime, do you still need you to teach me?"

The old man was even more reluctant to admit defeat than before.

The business of the honeycomb coal workshop is yellow, and he has never thought that it is his fault, and that someone else has robbed his business.

This qi swirled in his chest and became his heart disease.

The two fathers and sons worked together, and soon the bean seeds were loaded and then put on the ploughing ox.

The ploughing cows, who have followed the cow since they were children and grew up in the fields, naturally raise their heads and walk very cooperatively, often without the password behind them, they already know what to do.

"The name of this cocoon is called an animal-powered seed drill in the technical newspaper."

"A cocoon is a cocoon car, what a weird name."

Two fathers and sons, one in front of the other.

As the cart progresses, the bean seeds are planted one by one into the fluffy soil.

The first seed seeder in the West was inspired by our country.

However, because most of the columbs are used in the north, they are far away from the ports in the south of our country, which are often visited by Europeans.

As a result, the actual experimental samples were not shipped to Europe.

What the Europeans saw was only a rough textual description of it.

Oral legends and inaccurate descriptions and drawings in books did not give the Europeans who received the news a good understanding of its construction, and they had to recreate the seed planter.

As a result, the European seed planter is based on a very different principle from that of China, which is precisely the case of "stimulus diffusion", that is, the diffusion of an idea, which is not necessarily accompanied by the diffusion of structural details.

In this way, the Europeans of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries finally had their seed drills, but in terms of the cost of work, it could only be disappointing.

China's cocoon car in the Warring States period has a prototype, the Han Dynasty agronomist Zhao Guo, on the basis of one foot cocoon and two feet cocoon, created and invented the three-legged cocoon that can sow three rows at the same time.

In the future, there will be no major changes in principle, but some parts have been optimized and improved.

In the eighteenth century, the European optimized chariot was still at the level of a cocoon, and it was only in the nineteenth century that it was gradually improved.

Every family has advanced agricultural tools, which is the goal of China Heavy Industries to establish a farm tool factory.

These production tools increase production efficiency and reduce production time, increasing the cultivated area per capita.

With a smaller population, more land can be cultivated, which secures the agricultural base and provides the impetus for industrialization.

It can be used to sow various crops such as barley, wheat, soybeans, and millet millet.

The three-legged cocoon used by this family now has three ditch openers underneath.

When sowing, a cow is used to pull the cocoon cart, and the cocoon feet are ditched and sown on the leveled land, and at the same time cover and suppress, which can be counted in one fell swoop, saving time and effort, so its efficiency can even reach the saying of "planting one hectare a day".

The ancient sowing system in our country was at least ten times more efficient than the European system.

When converted into a harvest, it is 30 times that of Europe.

This is exactly what has happened over the past 1,700 years, during which time our country was much more advanced than the West in terms of agricultural productivity.

So much so that between these two halves of the world, we can only see such a contrast, that is, China is quite like the "developed countries" as it is called today, while the West is a "developing country".

It is a pity that the two civilization regressions have slowed down and regressed the development of Chinese civilization, lagging behind the world.

While the two fathers and sons were talking, one acre of field finished planting bean seeds and began to plant the next acre.

"Great, I'm going to Golden State next month."

The woman cooks at home.

The family was sitting at the table, and the young man said suddenly.

"What are you doing in Golden State?"

"I'm going to the Golden State for training."

The young man said unconcernedly.

"Won't let you go to war?" It is no secret that China Heavy Industry organizes military workers to go to the Shiqiao Camp and Jinzhou for training every period.

The woman asked worriedly.

"If you don't go to the nearby stone box camp, how can you go to Golden State?" The little old man also said in a deep voice.

"I don't know, what about the list arranged by the Joint Office of the Military Industry."

The woman looked helplessly at the little old man.

The little old man took a sip of wine and said nothing.

"I also saw a seven-legged cocoon car in the supply and marketing cooperatives today, but I don't know if it's good or not, and wait for the spring next year to inquire, if the evaluation is good, spring ploughing to buy it back for use."

"It's hard to lose money, right?"

The old man scolded.

"Your old man farms more easily, and he still plants more acres than before, how can it be a waste of money."

The old man stopped talking.

At that time, because of his stubbornness, he ignored the admonition of his nephew and son, and insisted on not joining the Honeycomb Coal Chamber of Commerce.

Although the old man is hard-mouthed, it has actually caused an impact, and he is no longer as stubborn as before.

"You are the only son in the family, and there are some things that you need to be sober."

The old man finally said so.

"Big, don't worry, I won't let our family cut off the incense."

"Your mine is not good, there are not a few female babies, and it is so difficult to get married when you have money." The old man was angry again.

"You are also a simple mother-in-law, and you don't work hard when you see other people's daughters, and you are always preempted by other people's families."

With the increase in productivity in Beiping, people began to have more money, and the status of women also rose.

in Shaanxi.

Li Bosheng also planned a marriage.

Zhu Di led the army to patrol the border of Shaanxi Zhuwei, and took advantage of this opportunity to cooperate with the military household economic cooperative and the guard office smoothly.

One of them fell into Zhu Di's eyes.

He was a hussar general of the imperial court who had guarded the Hexi Corridor for decades, the governor of the Chinese army, and the commander of the Shaanxi Xingdu.

The wings of the butterfly stirred.

These two originally crossed paths in 31 years, a full two years ahead of schedule.

Critical two years.

If Zhu Di is the Dinghai Divine Needle of Beiping, then Song Sheng is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Hexi Corridor.

This veteran who fought for the Ming Dynasty for decades, let the Ming Dynasty firmly control the Western Regions, put down the Western Rebellion many times, and was deeply trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang dared to give up King Qin.

With this veteran guarding the Hexi Corridor and the prestige he has built up over the decades, no one in the West dares to make trouble, and Shaanxi will not lose.
