Daming: Let you build roads, you have access to highways throughout the country

Chapter 176: The Loan Contract of the Qi Royal Mansion!!!

Qinzhou Mansion.

In the spacious conference room, more than 10 students from the Gewu Academy sit.

These were all Zhu Rong’s carefully selected right-hand men, and everyone was assigned official positions.

After all, this is a desolate place, and the decrees of the imperial court cannot be reached, and when he came here, Zhu Yuanzhang granted Zhu Rong full power.

Zhu Rong alone decided everything, including the appointment and dismissal of officials, and only needed to submit the list in the chapter when he returned to the sea in the future, and file it with the Ming court.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Rong is the emperor of this entire Qinzhou, and no one can hinder him.

And Zhu Rong is naturally the one who uses him the most easily.

A student of the academy wearing a sky-blue uniform and an owl embroidered on his chest is discussing various issues.

All the students are full of energy, and their eyes are full of unconcealed excitement!

This Ming Dynasty, once it became a craftsman, needed to be filed with the imperial court, and it was impossible to obtain the opportunity to enter the dynasty as an official.

Now the system of the Daming Dynasty has been loosened a lot, and the descendants of craftsmen, who are not affected, can still take the imperial examination.

But to be honest, the officials of the entire Daming Dynasty, especially those who entered the dynasty through the imperial examination, were basically mainly the high-ranking officials and the landlord class.

The landlord class is the main force of officialdom.

Such ordinary people, who really have only 15 acres of land at home, have trained only a handful of officials.

Not to mention the craftsmen.

But in Qinzhou, his own spiritual leader, His Royal Highness King Qi, is the greatest authority here!

And His Royal Highness King Qi even promoted them out of the ordinary, promoted them up, and gave them official positions, how could everyone not be excited and full of energy!

“Your Highness, the minister believes that the most urgent task at the moment is to produce more iron tools, without iron tools, the production efficiency of the common people is too low.”

Everyone nodded in a row.

Zhu Rong is also aware of this problem.

When setting off from Laizhou Mansion, in fact, many ships prepared a lot of iron tools, including agricultural tools, but the entire land reclamation operation was very large, and the consumption of iron tools was also very serious.

Moreover, many ordinary people bring their own farming tools with relatively little, after all, for such a long sailing route, the most prepared by everyone is the ration to eat, and the grain seeds that need to be sown.

It is obviously unrealistic to want ordinary people to produce iron tools by themselves, not to mention, resources such as minerals are important strategic resources and must be controlled by the imperial court.

If any common man discovered the minerals in advance and secretly dug some of them themselves, Zhu Rong would not care, but once it was reported, there would be a major reward.

Subsequently, Qinzhou Mansion will send troops to garrison, and then mine and excavate, and the craftsmen sent by Zhu Rong have discovered an iron ore.

Zhu Rong also sent some troops to the town to guard the town and sent some prisoners to mine.

In addition to this, a coal mine was discovered.

Therefore, hearing the owl’s proposal, Zhu Rong sat at the top of the conference table, slowly tapped on the tabletop, and nodded.

“I have prepared a drawing of the iron workshop, and these days, you arrange for people to build the iron workshop as soon as possible and build the iron workshop first.

The original iron is then made into various utensils by blacksmiths. ”

Hearing Zhu Rong say this, everyone’s faces showed joy.

As long as the problem of iron tools is solved, the work behind will be much easier.

Then another owl said: “Your Highness, the surrounding indigenous people, the minister believes that we must use it, although we now have more than 200,000 people, but each common man has been allocated 1 acre of land.”

Some ordinary people came to Qinzhou Mansion alone, and with the strength of one person, they could not cultivate at all.

They need more helpers!

After a bumper harvest of cotton and other cash crops, it is inevitable to establish a variety of workshops, and then there will be an even greater shortage of labor. ”

Others nodded as well.

Zhu Rong pondered for a moment and said, “You draw up a grass compendium.

First, the original indigenous people must not be killed at will.

After all, they are the descendants of my Qin people, and they share the same ancestors and bloodlines as my Daming people. ”

Everyone nodded in unison.

Zhu Rong then continued: “The natives of various tribes, mainly for appeasement, can exchange their labor force for employment through various foods and goods.

Each tribe should reserve a certain area for their survival.

The primitive indigenous people are allowed to reproduce and survive in their original way of life, and those who are willing to integrate into us must provide shelter and work.

After the order is stabilized, it is also necessary to pay wages according to the standards of the Daming people, and must not be squeezed at will. ”

Now many ordinary people have little money in their hands, let them hire the original indigenous people, but also pay for their wages, they simply cannot get it.

But with the bumper harvest of crops after crops, Zhu Rong can purchase various crops in the hands of the people through the silver dug in the silver mine, so that the entire economy can circulate.

With more and more pioneered land, the first generation of Daming people will become a famous landowner.

In addition, Zhu Rong has long issued land reclamation orders, including all kinds of intelligence, livestock, medicinal materials, etc., whether it is the discovery of some mineral resources distribution information, or the domestication of wild horses, or the collection of medicinal materials, etc., can be sold in Qinzhou Mansion for money.

After the people get money, they can buy all kinds of farming tools, food, cotton cloth and other materials at low prices in Qinzhou Mansion.

As long as business can function normally, it will speed up the progress of land reclamation.

At the same time, the people in the tribe can also use the various resources in their hands to exchange for food, goods and goods in Qinzhou Mansion or directly into gold and silver.

Of course, the original indigenous people in the tribe can also use gold and silver to directly buy the necessary materials, so that they can integrate into the economic activities of Qinzhou Province.

Then, Zhu Rong thought of another question.

“The new Gewu Academy should also be established as soon as possible, and adopt an open teaching model, where everyone can come to the academy to study and distribute teaching materials free of charge.

The children in the tribe should go to the academy as soon as possible to learn my Daming culture, starting with literacy and pronunciation. ”

Everyone nodded one after another.

It is necessary to let the culture of Daming cover the original tribal civilizations as soon as possible, because the implementation of each part is too chaotic, and the languages spoken, as well as some simple characters, are different and do not have a unified standard.

In addition, it is necessary to make all the indigenous people deeply rooted in the belief that their ancestors migrated from the land of Kyushu.

They are the descendants of the Qin people, sharing the same ancestors as the Daming people, eliminating the estrangement between the two sides as soon as possible and speeding up the progress of great integration.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, everything has to be solved.

After discussing for half a day, Qinzhou Mansion also drew up new land reclamation orders, which were quickly posted on bulletin boards in various areas of Qinzhou Mansion.

In addition, Zhu Rong also set up a caravan of the Qi royal mansion, and they sold all kinds of goods around Qinzhou Mansion, so that the common people would not run on both sides.

Among them, it includes farming tools, pots and pans, etc., some commonly used living items.

Because the land allocated by many ordinary people is relatively far from Qinzhou Mansion, they cannot come and go normally every day, and they need to be stationed in their fields all year round.

Zhu Rong has sent people along the coastline to build asphalt roads to the north and south, and at the same time, to help the people near Qinzhou Mansion, build simple houses and granaries, and then slowly spread outward.

However, this project is very large, and the number of people that can be taken care of is relatively limited, mainly based on the people building their own houses, and each other must support each other in order to settle down as soon as possible.

Now some ordinary people have begun to cultivate, especially those sent by high-ranking officials and dignitaries, as well as the landlord class, and there are many people who accompany them.

Some ordinary people came here alone, and they can only ask fellow villagers to help, and they are still building houses.

Everyone can get some free masonry, cement and other building materials from Qinzhou Mansion.

Zhu Rong also racked his brains to provide convenience for the people of Daming as much as possible.

And what Zhu Rong attaches the most importance to at present is the iron-making workshop, under his personal supervision, a huge iron-making workshop has sprung up.

This iron smelting workshop was built in the gentle area at the foot of the iron mine, standing on this desolate earth.

Inside the workshop, there is a huge piece of machinery and equipment that has been pressed into black pressing, all of which have just been created by craftsmen.

Above the workshop, there are towering chimneys, and in the workshop, there are dense pipes between the houses.

From a distance, you can see thick black smoke and white steam, wrapping over the refining workshop.

With the ironmaking workshop as the center, there are two asphalt roads, one leading to Qinzhou Province and the other leading to the coal mine.

Right next to the ironworks, there is also a river that leads directly to the sea.

It is not a big river, but with the flow of water, it drives the waterwheel to rotate, which can provide power for the ironmaking workshop.

In addition, there are three large windmills in the ironworks.

This windmill is very different from the Dutch windmill and is a vertical shaft windmill, also known as a vertical sail windmill, which is a wind machine with a rotating axis perpendicular to the ground.

Before the Southern Song Dynasty, this kind of machinery was developed, because of its huge size, the folk is also called a big windmill.

Its structure is simple, the base is a rotating rotating platform, which can be understood as a carousel.

On the edge are long poles with sails hanging from them, a total of eight sails.

When subjected to the wind, the sail rotates the base and then transmits the force out.

The sail is constructed on the same principle as a conventional sail and automatically adjusts the windward direction.

It can provide the driving force for keel watermills, and is often used for irrigation of farmland or saltworks for brine, but the large windmills here are larger than the usual ones, mainly located between mountain passes, which are affected by the air current, and are large wind outlets, and the wind is relatively abundant.

After the sail is raised, regardless of the wind direction, when the sail turns to the side of the downwind, it is automatically perpendicular to the wind direction and has the largest wind-bearing area.

When the sail turns to the side of the upwind, it automatically runs parallel to the direction of the wind with minimal resistance. The windmill can accept 360 degrees in any direction, and does not need to add a windward device, which is convenient and flexible to operate.

At present, there is no steam engine, and providing power with water wheels and windmills is the most trouble-free method.
