Passing through the station

Animals like mules, when Shunyang first appeared, experienced a period of time when they were kept in a deep boudoir.

However, with Tang Xinhou's observation and experiments on mules, he found that mules can replace donkeys to a certain extent and become excellent large animals.Although the mule runs slowly, the mule is stronger and more durable, and even its temper is not as stubborn as the donkey's.

At the beginning, there were not many mules, and they only worked on the horse farm when they grew up.But after realizing the advantages of this kind of livestock, Tang Xinhou began to consciously cultivate this population.To this day, the number of mules is still limited, but in Shunyang they have been able to share part of the work.

The population, which experienced a sharp decline after the military disaster in the early years, has rebounded significantly in the past two years.The quality of the population is also rising steadily.But among these new members, only a small number of immigrants, and the rest of the natural growth population are still milk babies, and they simply cannot become an effective labor force to cope with the large increase in the number of cultivated fields.The popularity of large animals in Shunyang has effectively helped farmers.Even now, most of the crops planted in Shunyang are wild fruits and pastures, and food crops only account for a small part.

"According to the investigation these days, Shunyang is more inclined to animal husbandry because of the land conditions..."

"Lord Fang's words are wrong. There are not many lands suitable for grazing in Shunyang. The best is the horse farm used by the frontier army to raise war horses. Generally, peasant families raise more chickens, two sheep, and one large animal. Donkeys or cows." A Beijing official objected, "The pasture here is very good, and the horse farms in the north can consider introducing them. The land in the east is fertile and can be mainly planted. The focus of the introduction should be on those improved farm tools. "

"The capital city and the northern regions can properly introduce the technology of glass greenhouses. There are glass factories in Beijing, and the construction cost is relatively low..."

"There are already glass greenhouses in the capital. Ruan Lang has built a large area." Someone reminded, "I think the soilless cultivation technology is worth a try if it matures. Let's not be idle, don't just wait for people to produce results , we should study it ourselves. By the way, Master Liu!"

Mr. Liu, who was suddenly named, didn't know why: "Huh?"

"Doesn't Master Liu love to grow flowers and plants? So many precious flowers and plants are extremely docile in your hands, and the mere soilless cultivation technique will definitely not trouble Master Liu!"

Mr. Liu, who works in the Ministry of Etiquette and whose official rank is no more than the sixth rank, came here to make soy sauce this time. The purpose was just to avoid the mess in the capital, and he never thought that there would be something about him.

Feeding flowers and weeds, etc., he just cultivated a common topic for his wife and daughter.Well, even if he figured out some tricks later, in the capital, the real big grower is Her Majesty the Empress, the wife of the general, Princess Die, okay?Besides, both of those two people have glass greenhouses. He is a small official in the Qingshui Yamen, and he can't even afford to replace a glass window at home. Let him do soilless cultivation?Um?

Mr. Liu's thoughts changed, and his face showed embarrassment: "My lords' thoughts, Mr. Liu is not evasive, but..." First, give me a glass greenhouse!Give people money again!

When the other adults thought about it, although it wasn't that they didn't understand Master Liu's Xiao Jiujiu, they also felt that it made sense.The householder immediately took out the abacus, cracked a dozen, and calculated the cost: "It's just a... well, the laboratory should not be a big problem. After the next official returns to Beijing, I will apply to Mr. Minister. In terms of supervision It also needs the cooperation of the adults in the Ministry of Industry.”

The study and exchange is still mainly done by many middle and low-level officials who do practical things. Most of their official positions are not too high, but there are quite a few small powers in their hands, and they also cover various departments.Since the official of the household department can say that, it means that there is no need to worry about funds.

As long as the officials of the Ministry of Industry have money, they can say: "The Ministry of Industry has mastered the technology of greenhouses. It is to see what other specific requirements Mr. Liu has, or we can go to the greenhouses to have a look in the next few days." The greenhouses in the mansion are all man-made by the Ministry of Industry.However, he saw that the greenhouses in Shunyang were a bit different from those in Beijing, and they should have been improved.

Thinking back to when they saw King Yueze running to the capital every three days and staying there for several months, they felt so disgusted and overwhelmed.But now they really can't wait to tie King Yueze to the capital and make offerings directly in the Ministry of Industry.It has to be said that people who come from the royal family are different after all. Even the most transparent King Yueze can be worth half of the Ministry of Industry by himself.

In the past year or so, the Ministry of Industry has produced a lot of achievements in various aspects, and there have been some improvements in all aspects of Dazhou.But looking back at Shunyang, it is basically the difference between walking on two legs and running wildly on a healthy horse!

The people in the Yueze area can all live in concrete buildings this winter, and they can also provide collective heating.The houses that have been built earlier have already begun to paint the exterior walls, and the various colorful colors are so beautiful!It doesn't look like paint, it doesn't smell much, they tried a sample, it's very strong, and it's waterproof.

"I heard that the paint was made by Mr. Pan, the county magistrate of Zhong'an?" Although King Yueze is a prince with little real power, he is a member of the royal family. It's not that it can't work.Although now with the development of Lingnan, the importance of Zhong'an, a barren land, has become more prominent, but can local officials compare with Beijing officials?Can the status of the small county magistrate be compared with that of the officials of the six ministries?

"Yes." Obviously, some people have noticed this beautiful and practical paint, and the problem of water leakage is almost unavoidable in any house, even if there is a dilapidated house in the palace.

An official in Xijing said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Pan pretended to be a salesman and used this kind of paint to dye beans and made a lot of money."

"Is this really the case?" Civil servants have always had a lot of brains, but they never thought about pretending to be a shopkeeper to make money.After seeing the officials who broke the news nodded, they thought about it for a while and laughed a few times.

After the laughter stopped, the official in Xijing said: "The materials for making dyes are only available in Zhong'an and Lingnan. The ones used in Shunyang are all bought from Zhong'an. In fact, the price of paint is not expensive, but the freight is expensive. In Shunyang, only King Yueze can do this." The adults in the capital think too much, the county magistrate Pan is from Xijing, don't think that the official position of the Sixth Ministry is so attractive, it may not be comparable to Pan The county magistrate grows melons and herbs in Zhong'an.

As for the Yueze area, it was originally the most affluent place in Shunyang. After Yueze King and Dazhou God of Wealth Ruan Bai "partnered", it became a shiny rabbit with thousands of pure gold.His territory is only so big in total, and he doesn't hesitate to spend money, so he doesn't have to worry about spending it all.

Now the community houses built by the king of Yueze are all supplied to the people of Yueze at a super low price.The price is said to be less than half of the cost, which is more than the price of cabbage.Of course, if you don't buy it from the people of Yueze... you can't buy it at all.Anyway, in King Yueze's plan, the current batch is only for the local people.

Ruan Bai understood King Yueze's thoughts: "Ah Qing still remembers that when the army was in disaster, he randomly dispatched people to save his life, and killed many innocent people." This is a redemption, not for making money at all. , "By the way, the construction of the hot spring village is almost done, and the decoration has not yet started, but my mother said that it is all booked."

Chu Hao boiled meat with chopsticks in the hot pot, looked at the fat ball rolled up on the rocking chair with his nose twitching, pretended not to see it, turned around and continued to ask: "Is the road repair finished?"

"Nothing." Ruan Bai put the cooked meat in the bowls of the fat people one by one in order, ignoring the fat dog who was playing with melancholy, "Now it's the part of the mountain, for the convenience of transporting materials, A temporary road was built. Now that Xijing is busy with the autumn harvest, it will take a while before the road can be repaired."

Chu Hao didn't care much about these things, he didn't even have time to burn the meat for the fat guys, Xiaopang stopped staring at his rice bowl, stood up and put it on his lap, rubbing his big head against his chest.He looked down at the oil stains on his clothes, twitched the corners of his mouth, and pushed Xiaopang's head away: "Go away, the meat hasn't been cooked yet." Fatty eat a lot, and what they eat is not thin slices of meat, but It is a steak with some thickness, and it takes a little time to be cooked.

After chasing Xiaopang away, he continued to talk about the business: "Those officials who came to study will come to you in a few days. The prince gave a little word of mouth before, saying that he has a lot of skills." Although he is in charge of the management, Ruan Bai is still the leader in terms of technology.

This Ruan Bai was not surprised, he nodded his head to show that he knew it well.Sure enough, the next day the prince pulled a delegation to ask Ruan Bai for something.

Ruan Bai took the paper, on which were the projects that required technology and talents that they had negotiated. After reading it carefully, he put the paper on the table and smiled slightly with the corner of his mouth: "Yes."

Although he got a straightforward answer, looking at Ruan Bai's expression, the prince always felt that there was more to come.Anyway, he can be regarded as half of Ruan Bai's student and classmate, and he can somewhat figure out Ruan Bai's thinking, so he can't breathe a sigh of relief like other silly and sweet officials.

Sure enough, after taking a sip of tea, Ruan Bai went on to say: "There is no problem with the export of technology and talents, but what will you adults exchange for it? I think you adults have also realized these days that there are really not many people in Shunyang." .”

The meaning of Ruan Bai's words is obvious, it's okay to ask for skills or even talents, but you can trade them for people!

The problem is that the population of Dazhou is not large!Moreover, most of them are Beijing officials, which means that they are not officials who directly manage the population, and they have no right to relocate people at all.And can the people move at will?Which large-scale migration of people in history was not scolded all over the place?

But it is also a fact that there are not enough people in Shunyang.Shunyang looks lively now, but many of the active people are foreign businessmen, and some are migrant workers from surrounding areas.These people will leave not long after the autumn harvest is over before the roads are closed in winter, and the whole of Shunyang will be deserted by then.

The crown prince has the right, knocked on the table and asked: "Does Ruan Lang want farmers, artisans, or something else? How many people do you need to change?"

When Ruan Bai heard this, his smile became more sincere, and he gave a thumbs up in his heart: As expected of being half a classmate and a student, let's go!

So, next, the Beijing officials looked at the two of them, just like the two human traffickers, clearly marked the price of each technology, and then bargained.

Xiao Xizi, who was listening on the sidelines, endured and endured, and when she returned to the station, she said to the prince: "Your Highness, I'm afraid there are not so many people..." Even if it is the prince, he has to mobilize so many people, and he still has to make time for the next year. Before the sun enters the winter...

Hearing this, the prince showed a smile very similar to Ruan Bai: "Yes. We have a lot of people. Did Xiao Xizi forget those officials who were confiscated? There are three thieves who are used to being pampered by letting them go to build roads. All together, they are not as good as an ordinary citizen. Ruan Lang needs someone who can read and write. There is also a factory in Shunyang that accepts female workers. Isn’t it just right for these prisoners and their families to come here?” As for people coming, why? The resettlement method is not his business.
