Chapter 164

Twenty fire tubes were arranged on the ground in turn.

After giving orders to Pang Yukun about the logistics, Xiao Ming looked at these yellow and orange torches, which were different from the structure of the artillery. These torches were narrow at both ends and thick in the middle. They were basically primitive fireguns.

And the caliber is small compared with his artillery, not to mention the range.

This time, Xiao Wenxuan was humiliated by the barbarians, but he became angry. This time, he was willing to give him the torches. These torches were all made of brass. In Xiao Ming's eyes, they were not torches, but copper coins.

No wonder many emperors could not help but use the brass gun to make money.

"What about the torch, your highness? Do you want to send it to Cangzhou City together Pang Yukun asked.

Xiao Ming said with a smile, "no, twenty guns should be enough to make a brass gun. You'd better send it to the equipment department."

"Yes, your highness." Said Pang.

He never likes to talk too much about what he doesn't know.

This time, Xiao Ming is quite satisfied with Xiao Wenxuan's reaction. He thought that the procedure would be for Xiao Wenxuan to write a letter to scold the king of Shu, and then the king of Shu would shirk a lot of excuses, and Xiao Wenxuan would write to him again to make him wait.

To his surprise, Xiao Wenxuan dealt with it properly this time. He solved his urgent need first, and then went to clean up the king of Shu.

It can be seen that people are pressed to do something. This time, he would like to thank the barbarian emissary for humiliating this cheap father.

After inspecting the materials sent by the governor, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun went outside the city.

Now, Chen Qi and Lu Tong can only rely on the full production of artillery and gunpowder. It's useless for him to worry about it.

But it is not only the fields of the people's families that need to harvest wheat, but also his officials and his manors.

He once promised that Lu Fei's official manors would accept Chengdu from Qingzhou army, which is also the time for him to fulfill his promise.

On the Bank of Xiaoqing River, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun stop and look. Opposite is the official field of Qingzhou army. At this time, the golden wheat is endless, and waves of wheat are rolled up by gusts of wind.

Looking at the crops in the field, Xiao Ming was even more happy than to see the success of the first gun.

Food is the foundation of the people and agriculture is the foundation of the country. With food, the people will be able to settle down and the soldiers of the army will be able to fight. Otherwise, the people will only rise up in exchange for militarism.

Because the harvest is coming soon, Lufei specially arranged the soldiers of Qingzhou army to patrol the official fields to prevent the common people from stealing wheat.

Most of the people are self disciplined, but there will always be people who are lazy and get something for nothing.

Three days ago, a small piece of wheat was secretly cut in the corner of the official village at night, which made Lu Fei furious.

In his heart, this official village is more important than his life, but he and his soldiers are farming with cattle, weeding with hoes, and looking at the mature land day by day.

Immediately he sent soldiers to guard day and night, and personally went to the Yamen to ask the captor to investigate the matter.

The Yamen knew the seriousness of the matter, and within two days he caught the wheat thief. Lu Fei went there and beat him.

Nevertheless, this kind of thing often happens in the common people's field.

"Your Highness, after this harvest, people's life should be better." Pang Yu Kun stroked his beard and laughed. His eyes were dyed golden with wheat.

Xiao Ming is engaged in large-scale workshops outside the city. At present, businessmen are the main beneficiaries, but the people do not get much benefit.

After all, the workshop area is only a very small business district, which can't drive the whole Qingzhou City, let alone the other five states.

"Yes, three years of tax reduction and exemption, the government does not take a cent of the harvest, and the people should have surplus food in their families." Xiao Ming is also smiling.

Once the people have surplus grain in their hands, they will sell part of it for money.

Only when you have spare money can you spend it. In this way, the economy of the six states will be revitalized.

"It's just that we have to work hard to do business and enrich the Treasury." Pang Yukun sighed.

During this period, everything Xiao Ming did was seen in his eyes. I'm afraid that the kingdom of Dayu could not find a second vassal who could think so much of the people.

The longer he gets along with Xiao Ming, the more he feels that Xiao Ming seems to have an idea that even he can't understand. He doesn't know where this strange idea comes from.

"I don't want to die here."

Xiao Ming sighed in his heart that he didn't want to enjoy the pleasure of being a vassal and lead an extravagant life.

Just like farming, if you want to harvest food, you have to work hard. That's why he is engaged in farming and industry.

After all, when he came to such a place, he had nothing but technological advantages. Unlike other princes, he had a vassal family.

He is not good at intrigue. After all, he grew up in modern times and was taught that the world is full of love.

Therefore, his goal has always been very clear, to win the hearts of the people, to promote science and technology, and to engage in business.

As they were talking, the sound of horse's hooves came from afar, and soon the ox came to their eyes.Lu Fei and Luo Xin followed him with a relaxed manner.

"It's a coincidence, your highness, that you are here, too." Niu Zhen came down from the horse laughing.

Lu Fei said directly: "the governor wants to see Qingzhou army's own manor, and the general brings him here."

"Pang Changshi and I are also talking about the manor and the wheat harvest. You Qingzhou army can't be careless. When it's time to seize the harvest, you can't get the rain to rot the wheat in the field." Xiao Ming said.

"Yes, your highness, the governor is here just for the purpose of harvesting wheat." Said Luffy.

At this time, Niu Zhen said: "Your Highness can take out his property to Qingzhou army. It's really extraordinary that people can do it. I admire it, I admire it!"

"I flatter the old general. It's also a helpless move. Qingzhou is in a dilemma. It's also for the sake that the Qingzhou army will not be short of food and clothing. Moreover, the training of the Qingzhou army will not be delayed by the idle farming and busy farming."

Niu Zhen nodded. He could understand Xiao Ming's idea. It was perfectly normal for him to go back and forth between the ancient and modern border troops.

As they spoke, they crossed the stone bridge and walked to the wheat field.

When he got to the field, Niu Zhen skillfully pinched a ear of wheat and rubbed it. Then he put the grain in his mouth and bit it. He said, "well, the wheat is still a little damp. We can harvest it in two days. It should be enough to take out 1000 people at that time."

Xiao Ming's land yield is 100 hectares, that is, 10000 mu. Nowadays, in Dayu state, the grain yield is about three stones per mu.

In addition, if there is no accident in other places, 300000 stone grain will be enough.

After all, there are only 20000 people in Qingzhou army now, and the 300000 grain is enough for 20000 people to eat for more than a year.

In addition, we can harvest another season this year. In other places, there are cultivated land reclaimed by the army. In this way, the army's food problem has been solved.
