Great power.

Every traveler has a dream of strengthening the country, and sooner or later this dream will be realized by heavy industry.What Zheng Taizu failed to accomplish because of the war and early death, he, a latecomer, must take over.

Song Shi nodded deeply, then shook his head again.

He wants to develop the steel industry, but not in the economic center of Hanzhong.If he had not been an official, he might have entrusted his father's relationship to buy mines and build iron factories; but now he has built an economic park for hundreds of people, and he has done it with the giant Buddha of King Zhou. Brother-in-law, every minute he started the iron smelting industry, he would be reported for privately manufacturing weapons with the intention of treason.

Not to mention that the king of Zhou already has two younger brothers who are about to get married, and the competition with his elder brothers is fierce, as for himself...

The phrase "Don't take a concubine as a wife" cut off the Queen's way of the concubines.

Everyone is full of hatred, so it's better to keep a low profile when doing things.Although he only wants to build machine tools, engage in processing, and make machines, he is not afraid of the shadow of his body; but if he is really reported, he will go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to review it up and down, maybe the economic park will have closed down by the time he is innocent.

It is not easy to explain this complicated background to Mr. Yang. Song Shi only said lightly: "The lower government built the economic park only to accommodate the victims of the disaster who stayed in the government, and to build more things that can benefit the people, but it is not necessary If you build a steel plant in the economic park, everything is in your own hands.”

His plan is to support the local iron smelting and manufacturing technology, so that local iron smelting businesses can reduce costs, smelt more and better iron ore, and create cheaper, sharper and more durable agricultural tools, and then the government will guarantee it in installments Payment, sold to the common people at a par price.

——If the ore is contracted for private mining, the government can still extract 1/15 of the exclusivity tax from the amount of iron mined.

Another very important reason is that there is no iron ore distribution in Hanzhong Prefecture.The most suitable rich ore and large and medium-sized iron ore mines in this government are located in Liuba, Lueyang and other places, and they cannot go directly to Nanzheng by taking the Hanshui River.The transportation cost is too high to transport the mined ore to the capital to make iron and steel. It is better to smelt it into steel on the spot under the mine, or even make it into the parts he needs, and then transport it back to the park for assembly.

Song Shi analyzed the pros and cons one by one, and said earnestly: "In fact, this is also a selfish plan of the lower officials. There are still many difficulties in its actual implementation. At that time, I will ask adults to take care of it. If good iron can be produced, it will be more beneficial if it is made. The utensils of the people will rule this land to be rich, and the lower officials and the officials and people of the Hanzhong government must remember the favor of the adults."

Lord Yang nodded slightly: "As long as you can really make good steel in Hanzhong, I can take care of this matter for you. Even in the future, if iron is needed to build armor in the Ministry of War, I can also speak for you."

Hanzhong Mansion is within Nine Sides, which used to be the place where the Ministry of War purchased raw and wrought iron.If good steel can be produced, better than those in Shanxi and Suzhou, the Ministry of War can buy more iron from Hanzhong Prefecture.

Yang Rong thought of the armor and rusty guns and arrows of the old defenders in the border towns; the not very rich ordnance brought by the new soldiers in Beijing; Looking at the efficiency of the gun, a bit of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

The price of steel purchased by the Ministry of War is higher than that calculated in Song Dynasty, but the quality is mediocre.Sometimes the iron quality of the gun barrel is not good, and it is easy to have blisters in the inside, and some will explode after a few times of use.If good iron can be smelted and powerful weapons can be forged, why should we be afraid of the Dalu cavalry going south?

Yang Rong raised his hand and patted Song Shi's shoulder. Thousands of messages were only in this pat, but there was no need to say them.

He never came to Hanzhong Mansion, and what he saw and heard was enough to prove that this Song Sanyuan was a pragmatic person.Just look at the signboard erected in the field, you can tell that he has to prepare carefully before doing things, comparable to a general's formation of troops, and a literati's draft of an article. It is a product that far exceeds expectations.

For example, the well in front of me, the fertilizer mixed in the soil just now, the badminton that His Royal Highness King Zhou brought when he traveled...

What should be done, what can be done, Song Shi has his own plan in his mind, why should he urge him?After all, today is still the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. After seeing this well water truck, it is time to let their young people enjoy the joy of outing.

Master Yang said with a smile: "It's rare for His Royal Highness King Zhou to go out of the city with us today. The scenery of Tiantai Mountain is very beautiful. Let's also choose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers for a visit."

King Zhou has not been out of the city a few times since he came to Hanzhong Mansion. This time he planned to take the opportunity to have fun. Hearing what Master Yang said, he happily said: "Master Yang is kind, how can Xiao Wang not accept it? It is indeed the right time for outings before the Dragon Boat Festival , Xiao Wang asked someone to bring badmintons and balloons, we might as well find a flat hill to play with later.”

Song Shi visited many places on Tiantai Mountain in order to find quartz ore and phosphorite. Naturally, he knew where the scenery was the best. ..."

A 3A-level scenic spot, the Hantai District Government signed a contract with an investor to make it a 5A-level scenic spot.It's a pity that there was no classification of scenic spots in the Dazheng Dynasty, and Tiantai Mountain has not been promoted to 5A for hundreds of years.

Song Shi coughed lightly, and said: "This Tiantai Mountain is named Tiantai because the top of the mountain is as flat as a platform. When the weather is suitable, climb to the top of the mountain to see the scenery in all directions. You can see that the mountains are covered in mist, like a fairyland on earth. Li Bai chanted In the poem "Tiantai Xiaowang" in Tiantai Mountain, Zhejiang Province, there is a sentence "the cloud hangs over the top, and the undulating giant Ao disappears". Temples, ancient inscriptions and other scenery...

"Some local officials have walked by themselves, and some have heard from tourists when they came here for exploration. It is rare for His Highness and the Governor to have a tour today. Why don't we ask a local guide to go straight to the rooftop?"

It would be great if it was Tiantai Mountain in Zhejiang. He has memorized the guide words, but he has not memorized the words of the guide in Shaanxi, and he was reluctant to spend the Jinjiang coins in his background for climbing the mountain, so he had to hire a local guide.

But having said that, as the full escort, he is responsible for the food, lodging and route planning of the tour group, and he hires another escort to pick up the tour group when he arrives at the scenic spot, which seems to be in line with the process.

King Zhou and his party and Master Yang had no objection, not to mention Huan Ling, and the group returned to the car, and were guided by an officer who was familiar with the roads to Tiantai Mountain.Along the way, I saw fertile fields opened up where there were mountain springs flowing down the road, and there were green seedlings inserted in the shallow water of the pond, which was full of vitality.

It was the first time that King Zhou saw the seedlings growing in the field and the farmers pulling weeds in the field for the first time.

Looking at it, a wooden sign of equal height suddenly flashed at the edge of his field of vision.He subconsciously looked at it. Although he couldn't see the handwriting on it clearly, he could guess the origin at once by seeing the sign's square shape and the habit of wrapping the words on it.

He quickly patted on the car window, and called someone to greet him from behind: "Is that also Mr. Song's experimental field? Let's go down and have a look."

Master Yang behind also saw the experimental field, and asked Song Shi to make the same request.

What does the leader want to do, how can a subordinate refuse to agree?What's more, before he could speak, the convoy had already turned to the field according to King Zhou's order.

When they reached the ground, Song Shi supported Huan Ling's hand and got out of the car first. The ground was a bit muddy and uneven. He was afraid that he would jump off and sprain his feet, so he opened his arms to catch him, wanting him to jump into his arms.

Huan Ling Mao was at the door of the carriage, he didn't jump for fear of hurting his self-esteem, but also for fear of losing face, he looked around and saw those guards just carrying low stools to watch, he didn't know how to avoid suspicion, so he touched the side of the carriage with one hand, Stretching out one hand, he said politely: "Song Zhifu help me."

As he said that, he held Song Shi's right hand that was outstretched in the air, and he jumped lightly and fell to the ground.

The paddy field was flooded with floods, and even the path between the ridges was soft. When he landed half of his heel was buried in the soil, he grabbed Song Shi's hand and shook it to stabilize his body, and lifted the sole of the shoe from the soil. Pulled out.

This ground is not good for jumping down. Mr. Yang is getting old, so let's use a low stool to step down.

He allowed the door to be opened, and thoughtfully arranged for people to move stools for Master Yang, King Zhou, and the two long officials.Yang Rong stepped down on the low stool, felt the soft and muddy ground under his feet, and couldn't help but want to persuade them——

Although you are young, isn't it good to put a footstool when you get off the car?You still need to support him with your hands. Mr. Song's arm is stretched out to the side of the car. If you want to help him, you have to take his hand and jump sideways with one hand on the wall of the car. How inconvenient.

He lamented that these young people were blindly showing off their skills and didn't know how to find convenience for themselves, but the king of Zhou who got out of the car in front couldn't wait to get a closer look at the rice fields, and greeted them: "Master Yang, here is another rice field. Experimental field, let's see what is written on the sign first."

This field is not like a soybean field with only one person pushing a cart and water, and there are farmers working in several surrounding fields.The farmers in the experimental field are the crops specially arranged by the landlord for Mr. Song. When they meet, they recognize Mr. Song and Mr. Huan, and they will come up and kowtow while grabbing a handful of weeds.

Song Shi hurriedly waved his hand: "Go slowly, we planted the crops tightly in this field, I'm afraid you won't be used to walking, and you will step on the seedlings."

The old farmer quickly slowed down, kicking the ground between the seedlings and walking up.

Following his steps, ripples were drawn in the water, and it seemed that there were small fish showing their heads at his feet, shaking their heads and tails for a while, and then swam back to the rice fields.

King Zhou said "Hey", pointing to the grain field and said, "There are still fish in this field? Why, are they brought in from the stream?"

No, they are small fish fry specially raised in this rice field.The rice stalks of this kind of rice are thick enough to withstand fish pecking, and when the rice is harvested, the fish are also big, and they are fished out and sold together, so that the income of rice farmers can be higher.These fish can also eat leeches and larvae in the water, and the rice fields can be less pest-prone.

Anyway, no nitrogen fertilizer has been produced yet, and all the fertilizers used in this paddy field are organic fertilizers. At most, some phosphorous rock powder is mixed with the base fertilizer, which is not afraid of chemical fertilizer pollution, and does not delay the application of pesticides for fish farming, which is beneficial and harmless.

He calmly explained: "Xiaguan will open up experimental fields in places with different environments and soil qualities, and use different fertilizers and planting methods for different land and grain varieties. The rice fields in this field are dwarf japonica rice with thick stems. You can keep fish, but you can’t raise fish if you replace it with thin stalks. Different kinds of rice are planted and have different fertilizer formulas, and the kind of soybeans grown in dry fields are different from rice. recipe..."

One field and one side is to try out the highest yield ratio.

In fact, the rice fields are the experimental fields that he prepares the most. After all, the imperial court harvests rice, and rice is the most expensive food in the market. Rice is the lifeblood of their mansion.As long as the rice production capacity per mu reaches [-] catties, the economy and people's livelihood of Hanzhong Prefecture will be stable, and some farms can even be spared to specialize in heavy industry production.

To the ignorant king of Zhou, this must be a high yield and something to be happy about, but to those who know it, it is really like a fairy tale.

Although Hanzhong is a warm and humid basin, the inland areas are not as good as the land of fish and rice in Jiangnan and Huguang. On average, they only produce two stones a year, which is [-] catties of grain. If they can produce [-] catties...

Master Yang stared blankly at his face, trying to see from his face whether it was the truth or he was dreaming, the guards following the car couldn't help calling a few times, wanting to ask if what he said was true or not.The two elders were also people with common sense. They shook their heads again and again and said to King Zhou: "Master Song's words are too high. How can there be a rice yield of [-] catties per mu? Three to four hundred catties is considered extremely high." gone."

They haven't even seen the four hundred catties with their own eyes!

The yield per mu in the south is high, which is due to two and three crops a year, but it is not that you can receive [-] catties of rice in one stubble!

Facing everyone's questioning eyes, Song Shi just smiled reservedly.Huan Ling stood beside the farmland with his hands folded, with pride lurking in his heart, and responded to everyone for him: "Whether this matter can be accomplished, it is not up to us to believe it or not, we have to wait until the autumn harvest. Come back, disturbing the people’s cultivation, the two of us are willing to spend our salaries to make up for these people who borrowed land to use the land as an experimental field. But if it works, what will the three adults do?”

If it can be done, wouldn't this be a plan that benefits the common people...

Master Yang's heart was full of emotion, and he responded immediately: "Then this official will write a letter to the imperial court on behalf of Master Song, and ask the Holy Admiral to transfer you back to the capital!"

No, there is no need to transfer back to Beijing!It was so hard for him to be transferred out to work in the same place as Senior Brother Huan Xiao!

Song Shi didn't have time to catch his breath, so he hurriedly stopped him: "My lord, you are serious! I went to Hanzhong under the arrangement of the sage, how dare we ministers make up our minds? What we mean is, when the time comes, Lord Yang and the two elders will be invited Shi each write an article and help me recommend... the farming experience manual summed up by the lower officials would be fine."
