Wei Keng determined that in the Age of Discovery, if China, a nation with a strong agrarian mindset, wanted to expand overseas, among many factors such as large sailing ships and official appointments, the most "chip-level" factor was water conservancy. Water conservancy was the basis.

The axis-spread agricultural planting system can almost be directly connected to the inner soil based on the economic and cultural basis.

As a result, in the 42nd year of Jiajing, the water conservancy project on the "Dayuan" island began.

With the operation of steam engines, dozens of dams were formed to fill the intended water storage lake.

A large amount of cobblestones were transported by steel ball bearing carriages, and at the construction site, workers filled bamboo frames with cobblestones, thus forming a solid embankment. As the water level of the lake enclosed by the embankment increased significantly,

The surrounding large areas of planned farmland can be supplied with water through irrigation regardless of drought or flood weather. This is not at the same level as the plantation economy.

After the completion of the project, what was still a wasteland a year ago has suddenly turned into a Jiangnan water town.

Originally thought to be immigrants from Fujian and Zhejiang who were distributed, when they were harvesting rice fields and dividing grain, they immediately shouted: "Gods."

Instead of thanking God, these fishermen who got the soil regarded those "travelers from the Ministry of Heaven and Engineering" with rulers and optical measuring instruments as stars descending to earth.

Wei Keng took the opportunity to expand the Socialist Party, and each new native was given a badge with the "grain ear and loess symbol".

In Chinese, the word "Sheji" means "earth", and "Valley" is sacred and inviolable.

After the first round of harvest, probably after this round of grain distribution, those unscrupulous people who had just joined the league and wanted to work hard and hide in the mountains to become "strong men" also began to lose their minds.

, and began to focus on the "Kento Club". Even if he still thought about holding a knife, the blade would be facing outward.

In the production team of the No. 3 Kentuo Group.

A dark-skinned man squatted on the side of the millet field. In front of him were tall piles of grain and the lively grain distribution scene.

This strong man looked at the harvest, his expression was the same as that of an ordinary farmer, but at least a year ago he still had triangular eyes, often with a fierce look in his eyes. When he met someone who touched him, he would immediately wave his fist. But now he has become polite.

He tries to be as gentle as possible when talking to people in the production team. His name is Liu San.

Next to him, there were five men. They were in the production team next door. It was a busy day so they could find time to get together.

He knocked on his dry pipe: I haven’t seen you guys for a long time.

The bearded man next door hummed: "Brother, I will get married next month. My wife is from the mountains." (Da Yuan Island's birthday)

Liu San stared at him and took a look, but the bearded man was very nervous, because he was prepared to feel at ease by marrying a wife here.

Liu San took out a puff of cigarette and nodded, and then said: "You are old enough, it's time to do this."

When Liu San expressed his attitude, these former juniors breathed a sigh of relief.

And another person asked: "Brother, what does the host say?"

Liu San looked at the grain pile in the distance and said: "Everyone, live a good life. I will tell you about my family. I don't think my family will let us go against the gods here."

In the blood memory of the Han people, if the land can be made prosperous, then the royal way cannot be resisted.

…On Damuan Island, in addition to pirates, there are also Jin Yiwei…

After the grain was put into storage, a wave of pots, pans, clothes and needlework were sold at the market. After a wave of grain was collected.

The Gentuo Association has also distributed a wave of benefits such as "meat", "rice" and "sugar" to the military and industrial zones.

In the newly established staff department, these knowledgeable officers who had just met a few words began to buzz around like bees after sugar, asking the superior officers of the Association.

The Reclamation and Development Association organized forums such as "Baotang" in the countryside. Young adults who had just mastered Chinese characters and could only read newspapers began to be enthusiastic about discussing state affairs.

"Cleaning up other forces at sea" has become a hot topic.

Although no one dares to say that they will imitate "Wang Zhi" and establish themselves as King Hui, some people who were formerly pirates now want to use the gods who turned wasteland into fertile land to erect a "Juyi Hall" in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty.

The big flag.

[Note: Wang Zhi is not from the coast, just like Bao Zheng is not from Kaifeng. His hometown is Huizhou, he belongs to Huizhou merchants, and he is a fellow villager with Hu Zongxian.]

The ultimate pursuit of life for people who drifted across the seas of Fujian and Zhejiang is to "return fallen leaves to their roots", to have a stable hometown to bury them in, and to have children multiply.

These pirates also have an account in their hearts. The windfall gained from robbing money is only temporary. Once they get old and weak, it will belong to others.

Although the money given by the Kentuo Society is not much, the ability to manage the land allows these people who were previously pirates to see that they can be content when they are old. And once they have hope, they will not pursue swords.

After licking the blood from his head, he vented his insane pleasure.

After the autumn harvest, the Time Travel Team, the Reclamation Association, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Transportation and other organizations began to discuss the issue of the "tax system" - how to determine taxes, how to collect taxes, the cost of collecting taxes, and

The supervision of each link was institutionalized. At this meeting, Wei Keng was determined and selected some indigenous scholars from this time and space to participate in the meeting and record the minutes. An archive began to be formed.

Wei Keng looked at the Ming Dynasty costume publishers writing furiously: Localization has begun.

Since the entire Taiyuan Island is closed, external transportation is through the port. As long as it is stuck at the port customs, it is impossible for the grain to be quietly transported away by the future "rich families" after the harvest. And ordinary small farmers who need industrial products will inevitably use their surplus grain.

commodity economy.

Therefore, there is no need for a "grain collection system", but a "grain purchase" tax collection system is adopted. (This is how Guan Zhong played)

Three months after the autumn harvest, there were no tax collectors going around to collect grain. Instead, they brought the standard documents for "building warehouses", collected the statistical tables of materials required for building warehouses and road construction from each settlement, and went to each settlement to find people to discuss.

At this business meeting, the village elders in the settlement obviously did not have the ability to handle the "doodle and write" record work. Those in the village who were in the countryside during their leisure time laughed at some young men who "wanted to take the scholar examination", and this began to happen.

Afterwards, he became the "security chief", and the grassroots rule of the Kentuo Association began to be quietly established here.

From the perspective of the harvest people on Taiyuan Island, what they saw was that the official was directly exempted from rent and tax. They couldn't believe it at first. But various production teams really started to build public warehouses without any collection from above, and they all praised Taiyuan Island.

"Kentuo Society" benevolence and righteousness.

Exemption of farmland from taxes is equivalent to "Shang Yang's growing trees". Although farming does not mean getting rich, it does give everyone a smooth retreat.

Those young men who were dragged to the island a year ago and have been instilled with "big ambitions" have now had their last line of defense crushed.

The young people on these islands who have undergone preliminary military training think: Since they have no worries, they should become bigger and stronger now.

Those who have been taught to read coastal maps are already aiming at the Zhuming coastline. At the same time, they are beginning to combine the plot of "Water Margin" mentioned by the island's storytelling masters and imagine whether they can make a fuss and win an official position.

Narrator: Just like middle school students in the early 21st century who read novels will be introduced to YY, novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties also provide various imaginations to people who have just begun to read.

Wei Keng, who was observing from the sidelines, was certain that the Ming Dynasty was still orthodox in everyone's minds at the moment, and only those who were hungry would rebel. The current strategy is that you can support your own troops, but you cannot rebel.

When the unscrupulous people returned to their hearts, they now began to show their fanatical allegiance to the Qintuo Society.

After the first round of officer training, these soldiers recruited from this time and space line can fight for their side even without being "tied to a rope".

In the autumn of the forty-third year of Jiajing, savages plundered the upper reaches of Tamsui River.

These savages only slightly destroyed a small amount of farmland, but they made the new recruits who were idle and panicking excited.

And it happened that this Ming soldier heard from the military instructors the passionate plot of "The Imperial Twins" adapted from the deeds of "Wei Qing and Huo Qubing". He was recalling the idea of ​​"riding the world on horseback", and those natives were in trouble.

The new regiment burst out with supreme fighting power, carrying three days of dry food and carrying bayonets up the mountain to annihilate them.

If the Discipline Department of the Time and Space Regiment hadn't arrived in time with the military police, this group of top soldiers would have been ready to kill the mountain people tribe with a high altitude.

Wei Keng murmured: Hey, listening to books is too involving.

Not only was the Army of the Socialist Party going crazy, but the newly established Navy was also going crazy.

In October, the communication line between Da Yuan Island and Wu Island in Shejihui was robbed by other pirates. This gave the children who were practicing gunnery skills at sea and were forced by discipline to wipe the deck every day a channel to vent their anger.

After the navy driving the clipper ship caught up, even if they recognized the fellow countrymen on the other side, they first used long-barreled guns to sink the ship, and then fished out the people.

The steel hexagonal inner-diameter artillery fires cylindrical armor-piercing projectiles with an effective range of up to two kilometers. This is absolutely crushing in naval battles. The ball shells of those lucky ships were simply out of reach, so they were defeated by the superb "water-drifting projectile" cannons.

The French penetrated the waterline.

And a few dozen days later, the navy was about to recruit people. These Shejihui local naval officers recruited, they came to the prisoner of war camp with canned gift bags with smiles, and persuaded these "fellow fellows" who had been shot down with cannons a few months ago to join the army.

, join your own fleet sequence.

In the late Jiajing period, coastal rebellions could gather hundreds of thousands of people. This shows that there was a large amount of surplus manpower in the Ming Dynasty at this time.

The Kentuo Association also gathered more than 300,000 people within two years. The amount of instant noodles supported by Hypertime had to be increased to 10,000 tons. Narrator, these instant noodle bags are all made of degradable materials.

There are also all kinds of crude primitive machinery outside. After all, it is the Ming Dynasty, so we have to consider the cause and effect. Those lathes and looms can only be seen in museums.

Traditional industry has begun to take shape in Wuzhou. A large amount of jute is processed into cloth (linen cloth worn with linen and mourning), and the textile industry begins to emerge.

It is worth mentioning that people in the Ming Dynasty cannot consume cotton cloth now. The "Ministry of Commerce" personally controlled by Wei Keng, after inspecting the clothes of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty, decided not to start with cotton cloth for the current industrial textile industry.

In oriental textbooks in modern times, middle school and high school students saw that the small-scale peasant economy resisted British cotton dumping after the industrial revolution. They thought it was because the small-scale peasant economy was stubborn. But in fact, this is equivalent to the experts in modern times who did not understand why young people did not buy cotton.

The "stubborn" guy in the suite, why doesn't he like to wear leather shoes costing thousands of dollars?

In the Ming Dynasty, cotton cloth was a luxury product, and only landlords had the financial resources to wear it. Many families in Yandu had to redeem cotton clothes from pawn shops every winter.

If you ask ordinary people in the Ming and Qing Dynasties to consume cotton, it is equivalent to asking the young people of the 21st century to consume "Haagen-Dazs" every day.

Nowadays, when there are no specialized cotton producing areas, linen is the mainstream consumer product for "clothing" in the early days of the industrial revolution.

Harvest the hemp stalks - dry the hemp stalks - soak the hemp stalks - peel the hemp skin - dry the hemp skin - tear the hemp thread - rub the hemp thread by hand - soak the hemp thread in water - machine wind the twine ball - wrap the twine around the I-frame - dry in the sun - add stove ashes to cook the twine - scrub

- Suning linen - dyeing - drying - weaving - cutting. Streamlined operation.

Mechanized large-scale production is accompanied by disciplined management to improve efficiency and reduce production accidents.

For example, everyone must wear a helmet at this time, even if it is extremely hot. Because once the hair is caught by the machine, there will be a scene where people are entangled into the machine.

In the textile factory on Da Yuan Island, there is a knife placed near each machine, just to cut off the hair and clothes that get mixed up at critical moments. - As for shaving hair, Wei Keng and the time and space administrator discussed it again and again, but still did not make it.

contradiction.

As for the inability to compromise in the event of an accident, discipline requires that if production safety is not observed, the hair should be cut directly into a buzz cut to serve as a warning to others.
