Otherworldly Castle Era

　　 At the end of March of the Ninth Year of the Apocalypse, the people of Xia State did not feel much about the southern spring.

　　According to the latest research of Chen Yan, an agronomist at the Institute, in order to ensure the fertility of the land, Xia Guo implements crop rotation.

Due to the abundant sunshine and abundant water power in the land south of Tianchiguan Pass, rice is harvested in two seasons a year, in May and October.

　　The coastal basin north of Tianchiguan Pass has a mild climate and four seasons. Rice can be harvested one season a year. The harvest time is mid-June.

　　 This is an adjustment for sustainable development. It is also because Xia Guo has no shortage of food at all, and other crops can be planted in the rest of the season.

　　Accordingly, with the tropical monsoon climate south of Tianchiguan, regardless of soil fertility, one season of rice can be harvested in March, three times a year, but this way, the consumption of land fertility is very large.

　　 Even if there is fertilizer, the long-term and uncontrolled consumption of land will slowly harden the land, so that it can no longer grow crops.

　　 After receiving Chen Yang’s report, Yang Song discussed with Xun Yu and others to formulate such a rotation system.

　　 Taking advantage of adjusting the production of industrial raw materials such as cotton and linen, Xia Guoyi solved the problem of land rotation, and farmers' income has been greatly improved.

　　Although the output of staple food has declined, other species have replaced it, which makes the people's dining table more exciting!

　　 This is the benefit of unified planning. If it is all developed by the people themselves, it is estimated that it will still stay in place in a hundred years.

　　If all were driven by the market economy, then capital and human nature would only make the people displaced and impoverished.

　　 Yang Song will not let such things happen, but he knows the power of capital, especially the capital that has the right to speak.

　　The so-called capital is a kind of short-term interest, which only cares about the individual and immediate interests, regardless of the interests of the group and others, if Yang Song does not care, then he knows the consequences!

　　 Especially Xia Guo, who has entered the steam age, will move forward at a speed visible to the naked eye in the future, and the government and imperial court established by Yang Song will act as regulators and guides.

　　 What Yang Song wants is national capital. The overall capital is not the capital of a certain person or a small group. Only when the country is regarded as a whole can the whole make progress!

"Enjoy you! The price of cloth on the domestic market has dropped by more than half, and the clothes of the people have become more colorful." Xun Yu reported on the meeting with a smile at the end of the month, seeing his smile not close. The appearance of his mouth can tell how happy he is.

　　 Yang Song also smiled, and nodded with satisfaction: "The decline in the prices of necessities in life shows that domestic productivity is already very strong. The next step is to continue to develop productivity, develop the economy, and increase the income of the people."

　　 Xun Yu received Yang Song's instructions, smiled, and solemnly led the command: "Yes, your lord, the ministers must do their best."

"Well, good." Yang Song saw that Xun Yu had finished reporting the situation, and then said to Li Jing: "The country has a population of more than 2.5 million, but the army only has less than 20,000. It's time to start expanding the army. You discuss with the military division and draw up a charter."

　　 The military-civilian ratio of the Xia Kingdom is less than one percent, which is more than ten times worse than the military-civilian ratio of the various forces outside the pass.

　　Although this has a good effect on the country’s economic development, the war outside the customs, which starts at 100,000 at every turn, puts a lot of pressure on Xia State, which has less than 20,000 soldiers.

　　 Although Xia State is currently focused on development, Yang Song will not ignore the indigenous wars outside Guan.

　　 "Yes, the minister takes the command." Li Jing and Liu Ji took the lead in unison.

　　 "Enlighten Lord! Naval Town has produced a steam-powered ship, and the people at the shipyard hope Lord Lord will participate in its launching ceremony." Yang Zhongzhen reported.

　　 "Oh? Has it been possible to produce a steamship? How big is this ship? What is the design speed?" Yang Song happily asked after hearing that the steam-powered ship had been produced.

Yang Zhong replied respectfully: "This ship was transformed as a sea-going ship, because the steam power system and coal tank occupies a lot of space, and the carrying capacity is reduced, so it can only be used for inland water transportation. The design speed is 15 knots. "

　　 Hearing Yang Zhong's capable answer, he knew that he had worked hard before that and wrote down all the questions Yang Song was interested in.

　　 "How can the lonely be absent at such an important and memorable moment?" Yang Song agreed to go to Navy Town to observe the ceremony.

　　Although this is only a wooden steamboat, it is also a very conspicuous progress for Xia Guo. Yang Song also wanted to witness this moment when he went to participate in the launching ceremony.

　　 The Tianqi River where Tianqi City is located is also a small river. It should be regarded as a relatively narrow river in Tianqi City, and it is more than 500 meters wide.

　　 The location of Navy Town and Tianqi City, inland water transportation is very cost-effective, a distance of more than ten kilometers, it takes less than an hour to go down the river.

　　In addition, Lincai Town, Industrial Town, timber, steel, coal...many materials are transported on the river, and the surface of the Tianqi River is very busy.

　　 So this time there are faster steam-powered ships, allowing the materials along the river to circulate faster, which is very beneficial to the development of Xia Guo.

　　 And not only Tianqi River can use this kind of ship, but also several rivers in the Linhai Basin, but it is still a big problem to transport the ships from the Navy Town to Linhai Town.

"Yang Zhong, let the Bureau of Industry build a shipyard in Linhai Town, and the personnel will be transferred from the shipyard in Haijun Town, and a shipyard in the Linhai Basin will work." Yang Song groaned for a long time, and said to Xun Yu. .

　　 "Yes, the king, the ministers, etc. obey the orders." Yang Zhong and Zhang Yu from the Engineering Bureau, upon hearing Yang Song's order, bowed and said yes.

　　 Can't put eggs in a basket. In addition to increasing the productivity of ships, Yang Song also made the two shipyards compete. After all, competition leads to progress.

　　 It has been nine years since the beginning. In addition to the naval shipbuilding product developed on the basis of the navy frigate, this steam-powered ship is only the second product of the shipyard.

　　 Although it has something to do with the overall productivity of Xia Guo and Yang Song's macro-control ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, there are only two kinds of results that can be achieved over the years, which is a bit unreasonable.

　　 Then other ministers then reported the results of some stages, and then announced the next dynasty.

　　 The next day, Yang Song boarded a passenger ship heading to Navy Town at the pier outside North City to watch the launching ceremony of the steam ship.

　　 Actually, the ship was ready for launch a few days ago, but because Yang Song had to wait for the Great Dynasty Meeting to pass before Yang Song had time, so when the monarch Yang Song came to participate, the shipyard people waited until now.

　　 Waiting for Yang Song to follow the Tianqi River to the navy town at the mouth of the sea, it did not take an hour.

　　 Seeing that there is no wooden ship on the slipway in the shipyard, there is only a tall chimney, no sails, and no mast. Look at the style, it should be a cargo ship.

　　 "Let's start." Yang Song heard Yang Zhong report to him that everything was ready, and Yang Song ordered the launching ceremony to begin.

　　 "The Lord has an order, and the launching ceremony begins." Yang Zhong announced the start of the launching ceremony loudly.

　　 Accompanied by fireworks and ritual music, the water inlet of the dock was opened, and the water level in the dry dock rose rapidly, overwhelming the hull, slowly lifting the steamship.

　　 Seeing that everything is going well, Yang Song smiled from the heart, and first took the lead and clapped his hands.
