In fact, Qin Yun has already built a hybrid rice research base on Qiongzhou Island, after all, the advantage of Qiongzhou Island is that it is two crops a year, or even three crops.

Now that the windy season is over, rice can be sown again.

In this way, high-quality rice seeds can be selected more quickly, which has always been managed by Wang Muzhi, and it is under the agricultural department under the command of the Ministry of Households.

It's just that there are many farmers in Qiongzhou who fish, but there are not many farmers who farm and farm, and the progress is not fast at present, but with the foundation of Luochuan, the efficiency should be greatly improved.

In the eyes of Qin Yun, a modern person, the major affairs of the country are in agriculture and industry.

Strong and self-sufficient agriculture is the guarantee of peace and prosperity, and strong industry is the foundation of military power.

If the industry is strong and agricultural production cannot keep up, it will be a poor army and the people will be miserable.

The parallel of the two is the way to development.

Therefore, Qin Yun's emphasis on agriculture is no less than that of the military, and an important reason why he let Zheng Jing go to Nanyang is to bring back high-yield crops.

He didn't want corn, if he could pick up the potatoes and potatoes that fluttered across the sea, the contradictions between the people of Daxia would be greatly alleviated.

Of course, Zhao Jiadi didn't come alone, half of the three hundred craftsmen who followed him at the beginning, and most of the rest went home.

And Qin Yun was already very happy to be able to come halfway, after all, he couldn't ask everyone to play with him.

However, Qin Yun did not devote all of them to the arsenal, but arranged a new position for Zhao Jiadi.

"Zhao Jiadi!"

"Old decay."

Qin Yun said with a smile: "From today on, you are my Minister of Transportation in Qiongzhou, and you will take someone to survey the official roads in Qiongzhou, build a cement plant, and turn all the official roads in Qiongzhou into asphalt roads." ”

"This king doesn't require you to connect every village, but at least the counties are connected, can you do it?"

Zhao Jiadi said: "Don't worry, the little old man is familiar with this matter." ”

Qin Yun: "In addition, the train route is selected, the track is laid, and the specific construction parameters will be issued by the Tiangong Institute." ”

"No!"

"Okay, Iron Bolt Zhao has just arrived, you take him to get acquainted with him."

"Okay, lord!"

After bidding farewell to Zhao Jiadi and others, Qin Yun came to the steam engine production workshop again, as the highest military secret in Qiongzhou at the moment, the steam engine workshop factory was as strict as the Great Xia Palace.

Three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, is not an exaggeration.

Since Cast Iron Ridge turned to hot air balloons and airships, the construction of the steam engine is now led by Lu Ban, and with the previous construction experience, the second and third steam engines can even be built at the same time.

And the shipyard is also working overtime to build the hull, Qin Yun's requirement is not to ask for the ship to be big, even if it is much smaller than an ordinary wooden ship, but the speed must be fast enough.

After all, his current goal was to capture the Ryukyus, not to build luxury yachts, and he didn't have the leisure to hit the iceberg.

"Master Lu, how's it going?"

Lu Ban motioned to the deputy on the side to take over his work, he went out of the factory and took off the bamboo helmet, which is Qin Yun's regulation, and it is necessary to pay attention to safe production during the rush period.

"Lord, why are you here?"

Qin Yun looked at the work in full swing around him and said with a smile: "Of course, I came to see Master Lu's achievements." ”

Lu Ban said proudly: "When has the old man disappointed the prince. This time, the old man improved the efficiency of power transmission, and the output power was fully doubled compared to before. ”

"Also, for this coal to burn fully, it has to be ground into slag."

Qin Yun had forgotten this before.

"Master Lu deserves to be a master."

Lu Ban: "Of course, the old man is studying and researching every day. If there's nothing else, don't bother, anyway, there will definitely be no shortage of steamships by the time. ”

"However, the old man has a request."

Qin Yun: "Master Lu, please speak!" ”

Lu Ban said: "In the future, this steam engine ship will not be called Qiongzhou No. 1, it will be ugly." ”

"The first ship is changed to Qiongzhou, the second ship is named Yunhai after the prince, and the third ship is named Luban by the old man."

Qin Yun smiled: "I think it can be called Luban No. 7?" ”

"What do you mean?" Lu Ban Yilen.

Qin Yun waved his hand: "It's not interesting, my name won't be used." In this way, the name of the Qiongzhou number that has been in service now has been changed, and you can do the rest of it, as long as you don't use the name of this king. ”

"You can also publish a newspaper to solicit opinions from the vast number of officers and soldiers."

Lu Ban pouted and said, "I don't care, I'm going to call him Lu Ban!" ”

Lu Ban was like an old urchin, just splashing and rolling on the ground, these craftsmen used to cast divine soldiers, didn't they also think about the eternal future?

Now that this steam-iron ship is so powerful, wouldn't it be even more powerful if I left a name?

Qin Yun also saw through Lu Ban's thoughts.

He thought for a while: "Otherwise, one of these two new ships is called Tiangong and the other is called the Casting God, so you and Master Casting have no opinion, right?" ”

Lu Ban's eyes lit up: "Yes, Tiangong Pavilion, Casting God Villa, from now on, they will all serve the prince!" ”

"I disagree!"

However, just as Qin Yun was about to finalize it, Wang Menghu came out of nowhere at this time.

"The old man doesn't agree, why don't you call it the Tiger, how good the Tiger is, it's not like those two soft names."

Lu Ban snorted coldly: "What merit do you have?" What qualifications do you have to name after you, no one has left a name. ”

"Anyway, I don't care, if you don't engrave your name to Lao Tzu, you will be careful not to fall into the pit when you get up at night in the future, Lao Yu will do what he says." Wang Menghu directly threatened with force.

Lu Ban: "I don't, you have the ability to build it yourself!" ”

Wang Menghu looked at Qin Yun: "Lord Wang, the old man is the number one grandmaster in our Qiongzhou, can't he deserve a name." ”

"Just you, who broke through with shit luck, what kind of great grandmaster is it, if you leave your name, Chen Jin also has to stay, then what will become of a great grandmaster in the future?" Lu Ban immediately retorted.

"You know a fart, old man, grandmaster, others are scared when they hear the old man's name, listen to me, lord!"

"Lord, don't listen to this old man."

……

The two quarreled directly, Wang Menghu was even ready to use force to coerce, but Lu Ban was not a vegetarian, after the previous dock was attacked, the arsenal also formed a defense force composed of a team of workers.

As soon as Lu Ban blew the whistle, the workers who were originally busy came out of nowhere with long guns and short cannons to aim at Wang Menghu.

Lu Ban's big and small apprentices, Iron Bull and Iron Bear, even pushed out the wheeled machine guns and artillery aimed at Wang Menghu.

Seeing that this title battle was about to start, Qin Yun hurriedly called a stop.

"Two, give face!"

Qin Yun held his forehead with his hand, these two masters, he is not easy to mess with!

"Today, the old man wants to see if your martial arts are powerful, or the old man's cannon is powerful!"

Wang Menghu puffed out his bull's eyes.

"Come on, who's afraid of whom?"

Qin Yun said in a deep voice: "Okay, what kind of system is it to dance with knives and guns." ”

"Isn't it just the title, this king has a way to ensure that you all agree."

"What's the solution?"

Qin Yun said: "Build another ship, this ship does not need to be arranged with too many naval guns like before, or even directly modified with a wooden ship, and the previous big ship that drove back from Ryukyu can be equipped with steam engine power." ”

Lu Ban's face changed: "Lord, wooden structure, where can you afford such a toss?" ”

Qin Yun: "Then replace the main beam, add iron sheets and steel plates, in short, just change it, and the main purpose of this ship is not to fight at sea but to transport troops by assault, and use it as an amphibious landing ship." ”

"This ship is called the Tiger Ship, how about it?"

Wang Menghu smiled: "That feeling is good!" ”

Qin Yun: "Don't worry, this king hasn't finished speaking yet." ”

"Now that the Tiger is there, the Tiger Battalion has to be formed. Wang Menghu, this king orders you to select people who are good swimmers from the whole army and form a special marine assault battalion of the Tigers. ”

"They will be equipped with the latest rifles and can fight underwater and on the surface, with the mission of landing and grabbing the beach."

"Give you twenty days to build!"

Wang Menghu: "No problem! ”

At this time, Chen Jin also appeared out of nowhere.

"Lord Wang, the minister also wants to set up a special combat battalion."

Qin Yun said with a smile: "Yes, yours is called Jin Fengying, and the manpower will be selected from your previous brothers, you can rest assured that this king will never favor one over the other." ”

"Master Lu, when will the light short submachine gun be mass-produced? Let's start with two thousand. ”

Lu Ban glanced at Qin Yun angrily: "You are the donkey of the old man's production team, at that time, the old man, you are called Tie Xiong and Tie Niu, and the Lianzhu machine gun was made up by these two stupid boys." ”

Qin Yun's eyes lit up, and he thought it was Lu Ban's masterpiece.

"Iron Bear, Iron Bull!"

"I'm here!"

Qin Yun: "Give the two of you a promotion, and in the future, the two of you will be the firearms experts in Qiongzhou, and you will enjoy the same four treatments." ”

Tie Xiong touched the back of his head: "What is the same four-grade treatment as the prince?" ”

Tie Niu: "You are stupid, the same four grades, that is, the four grades of copper, and the three grades of silver and the second grade of gold!" ”

Qin Yun was directly speechless at the two living treasures, how could he think of letting them get information before, wasn't that looking for abuse?

"Okay, you guys put down what you're doing and specialize in the development of submachine guns!"

Tie Xiong's eyes lit up: "Lord Wang, is there a reward?" ”

Qin Yun: "Of course there is, if the research is successful, you will be rewarded with a wife." ”

Iron Bull: "I want it too!" ”

"Yes!"

The crowd laughed.

In a burst of laughter, Qin Yun arranged the development strategy for the next period of time.

And he continued to return to the palace and began to grind Chiyo, the great master.

Today, Qin Yun specially mentioned a fresh squid and a large grouper.

Who knew that as soon as they met, Chiyo excitedly shouted two words, which startled Qin Yun and made him almost lose his footing and fall to the ground.
