After the inspection, the two armies set out in their respective positions under the leadership of Zeng Ying and Li Guo.

Zhu Mai returned to the city with civil and military officials.

Since early September, Zhu Masuji officially informed all localities of taking office as the governor, and the result of the war in Chengdu spread, and the governments have successively sent people to Chengdu to inquire about specific information or come directly to meet the governor.

These people were basically sent by the southwest prefectures, and they were all assisted and had no chief officials.

Therefore, Zhu Meiyu did not meet each other when he came - these officials were too low in rank.

The Chief Secretary and the State Administration are responsible for talking to these people and letting them stay in Chengdu temporarily.

Until today, she asked these people to watch Yuejun together, and after returning to the city, they asked them to come to Chengyun Hall to meet.

"See the State!"

"Flat."

After the ceremony, the two local officials stood up and stood respectfully in the hall.

Zhu Mai looked around and saw the five places of Xingdusi in Sichuan, Wumeng, Dongchuan, Zhenxiong, Wusa, Qiongzhou, Meizhou, Yazhou, Liufan Zhaodansi, and Lizhou pacification.

People have come from Si, Jiadingzhou, Mahu Prefecture, and Xuzhou Prefecture.

Oh, Luzhou, Zunyi Military and Civil Affairs Office, Shizhu Xuanfu Department, and Yongning Xuanfu Department were blocked or occupied by the bandits in Chongqing and Kuizhou, and no one came here because they did not receive the news.

As for Songfanwei, Long'an, Tongchuan, Baoning, Shunqing, Kuizhou and other places in the east and north directions, they were naturally sent.

However, Tongchuan and Baoning were both places that the State Administration had long controlled. Therefore, after the visitor arrived in Chengdu, they were summoned by Zhu Mei very early and went back, and were not in the hall at this time.

After arriving in Chengdu, the two officials from the southwest prefectures naturally heard various rumors about Zhu Mai.

Because it is too bizarre, even though there are many feudal superstitious people at this time, those who may have served as one official and two officials are all knowledgeable people, so naturally they do not believe in those bizarre rumors.

It was not until today that they watched Zhu Mai inspect the army and witnessed drones, audio and other creations in later generations that they realized that the rumors were true.

This princess is indeed "satisfied by God and has great supernatural powers."

It's where destiny is!

With dozens of assistant officials, Zhu Mai was naturally unable to have any in-depth conversations with them. She said some comfort and motivational words that had been long ago, so she let these people withdraw.

Afterwards, Zhao Ronggui, the general, was taken to Chengyun Hall.

"Zhao Ronggui, the general of the Qiang gang, came to the supervisor!"

Zhao Ronggui saluted Zhu Mai very neatly and did not dare to underestimate Zhu Mai's identity at all because of his identity as a girl.

"Flat."

"Thank you, the State Council."

At this time, nothing happened in history, and Zhao Ronggui was just an ordinary general.

Therefore, it is an honor for Zhu Ma to summon him alone this time, and he naturally does not speak politely.

She directly ordered: "After you lead a battalion of garrisons back to Qingchuan Station, you will train another battalion of cavalry yourself, and the organization will follow the garrisons.

When recruiting troops, the money and food required for training can be withdrawn from the Military Affairs Office before leaving, but remember that there must be no vacancy in the camp and military pay must not be deducted."

Zhao Ronggui burst into cold sweat on his forehead when he heard this.

It is common, or a common practice, for the official army of the Ming Dynasty.

One reason is that the money and food distributed to the generals were discounted. Even if the generals were not greedy, they would not be able to pay the full salary to the army.

Secondly, the military provided by the imperial court is useless. If generals want to train elite troops, they often need to repurchase weapons and armor.

In this way, a trend of surplus wages and supporting family members will gradually develop.

But Zhao Ronggui has been in Chengdu for several days. He was taken to visit the Imperial Guards, the Gonggar Army, and the battalion of garrisons he was about to take away.

He had already known that these troops under the State Administration were not only fully organized, but also the Imperial Guards and Garrisons were elite soldiers from both former officials and bandits.

Nowadays, these soldiers are not only well-equipped, but also receive a higher amount of military pay than before. Therefore, the army is motivated and the fighting spirit is high.

Compared with the former official army, these armies are very different, so they are called the New Ming official army, also referred to as the New Official Army, or the New Army.

Before seeing the new army, Zhao Ronggui did have the idea of ​​earning a job as an old habit and supporting his family.

But since I have seen it, I saw the rumored "Flying Eagles" monster bird with my own eyes today, so I naturally dare not have any other ideas in the past.

Therefore, after hearing Zhu Ma's words, he hurriedly expressed his opinion: "The general must obey the command of the supervisor and train the cavalry of this battalion."

Zhu Mai said again: "Since Long'an Mansion is connected to the Minzhou Guards and Gongchang Mansions in Shaanxi, you must pay attention to the movements there while training troops.

First, we will prevent these two places from going south to Sichuan, and second, we will prepare for the future regaining of Shaanxi by becoming a partial teacher."

As long as you have good soldiers and excellent equipment under your command, normal generals will be happy when they hear the war, because only by being able to fight can you make meritorious contributions.

Zhao Ronggui was no exception, and immediately replied with his fist, "I will obey the order!"

···

The second day after the army set out.

Zhu Mai took Zhuque Camp and Xiaoqi Camp, and all the staff rode their horses out of the city again.

She first arrived at a large farmhouse outside Chengdu City that originally belonged to the Shu Palace.

This farm was previously responsible for operating thousands of acres of fertile land, mainly planting rice and winter wheat.

Because in the investigation of the many farms under the former Shu Wang Mansion by the Jianguo Mansion, the "performance" was the best. Not only did the manor manager work diligently and capable, there were many good farming experts below, so they were selected by Zhu Mei as a trial farm for the super wheat in later generations.

After confirming that the super rice can be planted in the Ming Dynasty in later generations, the supplies transported to the Ming Dynasty by Zhu Mei and Zhu Mei Mei are mainly super wheat seeds.

Because of Hao Guangming's persuasion, Zhu Ma did not try his best to transport it. She could only say that she tried her best every day.

Therefore, the two sisters can carry about 200 kilograms of wheat seeds a day. While ensuring that Zhu Mei is not in a coma, the amount she transports is actually very small, which is more than normal children of the same age. Therefore, the main force in transporting is Zhu Meiyu.

Although food is important, it is not about life and death. No matter Zhu Mai, Hao Guangming cannot allow a five or six-year-old child to carry it at the cost of being in a coma all day.

Moreover, this coma-style one-time transportation actually has not been controlled in the total amount of transportation weight, and the total amount of small amounts and multiple transportations is large.

From the discovery of the super rice that later generations can be planted in the Ming Dynasty at the end of July, to the end of September, the two sisters transported more than 13,000 kilograms of super wheat seeds in total.

Later generations were best to plant 25 kilograms of seeds on one acre of land, but that was when there were fertilizers.

Zhu Ma no longer planned to transport fertilizers to the Ming Dynasty, but she could use mature and scientific methods to make farm fertilizers. The land fertility is probably worse than the situation in later generations when fertilizers were added.

So the final suggestion for the experimental field is to sow 20 kilograms of seeds per mu.

In this way, the super wheat seeds that the two sisters worked hard to transport for two months ended up planting only 600 acres of land.

These 600 acres of land are in the farm inspected by Zhu Meishu today...

After arriving at this farm, Zhu Mai quickly came out with the Zhuque Camp, and her pretty face was a little embarrassed.

Hao Guangming on the other side smiled and said, "I've said it a long time ago. This wheat seed has only been planted for a few days. I can't see anything in the fields, but you have to come and see it. Look, have you been lonely?

”

Because everyone was close to the female guards, they knew something about Zhu Mai and Hao Guangming. At this time, they were riding on horseback, so Zhu Mai started chatting with Hao Guangming.

"I also know that the wheat has not sprouted, but I just can't help but want to come and have a look. I really hope that this super wheat cultivation can be a great success in one go, and then expand the scale of the planting as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Hao Guangming stopped making fun of him, but instead comforted him: "Don't worry, you will definitely succeed."

He knew that Zhu Mai was so impressed by the experience of encountering hungry refugees outside the capital.

Let Zhu Ma fully realize that the food problem was the biggest problem in the Ming Dynasty.

So she cared so much about this large-scale trial of super wheat.

···

After leaving the Super Wheat Trial Planting Farm, Zhu Niu led the two battalions of Imperial Guards to the arsenal on the banks of the Jiang'an River again.

Because the arsenal has just been built for a short time and there are still many problems to be dealt with, Liu Linchang, who has overviewed this matter, usually lives here.

When he heard that Zhu Ma was coming, he brought several main officials from the arsenal to greet him outside the gate.

After some necessary but streamlined benefits, Zhu Ma did not rush to visit the arsenal, but looked outside first.

This is also Hao Guangming's request - he also wants to record more videos.

In fact, as early as the day Liu Linchang reported that the arsenal was completed, Zhu Xi asked the Flying Eagle team to send a mini drone reconnaissance team to aerial photography and collect pictures and videos of the arsenal.

Today is the first time I have come here in person, so I naturally have to take a good look.

Unlike later factory buildings, the Ming Dynasty's arsenals were still mainly made of wooden buildings.

But there are also many brick and stone buildings - when you are low bungalows, using brick and stone is actually more cost-effective than using wood.

At this time, looking around on the slope, I saw that the large and small houses on the riverside lined up, and the highest one was only three floors, most of which were just one floor. If there weren't many taller smokes inside, a large amount of smoke was constantly coming out.

He was angry, and he looked like an ordinary village.

Of course, the most iconic buildings are the dams in the river that can manually control the water flow, and dozens of huge water trucks.

In addition, there are iron plants affiliated to the downstream arsenal - where the smoke is higher and the thick smoke is emitted is also greater.

All of this is so abrupt and inconsistent compared to the large area of ​​Amano and the sky that still looks clean.

But whether in the eyes of Zhu Ma, Hao Guangming, or in the eyes of Ming officials such as Liu Linchang, this is a rare and intoxicating "beautiful scenery".

Hao Guangming on the other side felt a little bit when he was enjoying the camera through his mobile phone, so he quickly came back to his senses and asked: "Did you smell a special smell?"

After hearing this, Zhu Mai actually sniffed the air seriously and couldn't help but say strangely: "Doesn't it smell?"

Hao Guangming smiled and said, "Why doesn't it have it? The smell of industry."

Zhu Mai also understood the industry. After hearing Hao Guangming said this, he suddenly realized.

Indeed, although the arsenal in front of us is not large in scale and is still simple, it is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty's military industry.
Chapter completed!
