The Niu Jinda tribe, which had just retreated from Liaodong, was preparing to send the soldiers home. Both the generals and the soldiers were very interested in this sugar cane plantation.
Fifty thousand acres, this number sounds really exciting.
For this reason, Niu Jinda went to General Tiance's Mansion to thank him for the reward. But Qin King Li Yuanxing was not in the manor, but went to the palace. Niu Jinda waited until noon when Li Yuanxing had not come back, so he had to go back to the military camp first.
He still has to personally deal with important matters like this.
There will be fewer and fewer imperial soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. Some imperial soldiers want to turn into professional soldiers. These things are major events in the military.
As a general, I have to ask questions.
"General! Everyone is willing to stay!" As soon as he entered the military camp, he saw the deputy general coming up to him and said to Niu Jinda hurriedly.
"We all have to stay. I have never seen them so united before when we asked the soldiers to assemble. They are a bunch of bastards." Niu Jinda laughed and scolded. But he entered the military camp happily. For the generals, he was willing to stay.
That's a good thing. As for what to say about the rear, that is a matter for the Ministry of War.
Several young generals also came forward and saluted first.
"You're acting like a real person now." Niu Jindaxin said that there were so many strange things happening today. A bunch of guys who are usually very busy now understand the rules.
One of the young generals said: "When Niutou went to the Prince of Qin's Mansion, someone from the Ministry of War came with the imperial edict from the Holy One. That means that the reward King Qin gave us this time is too small. The Holy One will give us another reward. It's still a sugar cane garden.
, give us 100,000 acres this time, how to divide it among the army will naturally be yours to decide!"
"Niutou. What is this sugar cane plantation? How much grain can be harvested per acre?"
Niu Jinda didn't mind at all that these boys called him Niutou. When he asked about sugar cane, Lao Niu knew a little bit about it. When he was waiting for Li Yuanxing in the Tiance Admiral's Mansion, he asked one of the bosses in the mansion and checked the mansion's records.
Information, Lao Niu simply knows what it is.
In the early Tang Dynasty, sugar came from the south.
However, snow sugar did not appear until decades later in history, but the Prince of Qin already had snow sugar. Sugar squeezed from beets, but no one knew the secret.
"Well, sugar cane is a good thing. One acre of land yields six tons!" Niu Jinda was talking about Tang tons, not metric tons in later generations. Tang tons is more than 780 kilograms. Six tons per acre, that is, in later generations.
Four tons per mu.
Many people were happy to hear this number, it seemed like a good thing.
Northern soldiers have never heard of sugar cane from the South. This is normal.
"One ton of snow sugar, three tons of slag. I heard that the slag is a top-grade raw material for papermaking and is also valuable." Niu Jinda calculated happily.
What is the price of a ton of snow sugar?
That thing in Chang'an City costs at least 30 coins per catty, and one ton is 30 guan. One hundred thousand acres is 3 million guan. The faces of the young generals turned into flowers with smiles.
Niu Jinda said at this time: "Don't be complacent. If there is too much candy, it will be cheap. In a few years, the snow candy in Chang'an City will only be worth more than ten yuan per pound."
A dozen articles is also a good thing, and the young generals are naturally happy.
At this time, Li Yuanxing was drawing circles on the huge map with Li Er in the palace.
A circle represents a fiefdom.
"How many natives do you think there are here!" Li Er's pen stopped in South America. He also knew the location where Li Yuanxing originally sealed Li. Europe has a large population, at least 18 million people in total, so Li
The second one knows that there are places that need to be conquered, but in these places there are only natives.
What is a native.
It took Li Er a lot of effort to understand that before the Yan and Huang Dynasties, those semi-savages in China did not know what a house was, what clothes were, and what etiquette was. These people were easy to deal with, and they had good food, good drinks, and good food.
Use it. Then teach them what civilization is, which is also a great merit.
It is most appropriate to educate barbarians and use them on these people.
"Brother Imperial, it's not easy to seal this area. There is a huge copper mine. No matter who it is sealed to, it will be troublesome. Even if you stay in the royal family, it is unrealistic. There are not many people there. Such a big area, 100,000 people, two
One hundred thousand people are enough to support the sky." Li Yuanxing's stroke included half of South America.
Li Er wrote down the population on a piece of paper, and then made a mark on the map, a mark that only he could understand.
This map cannot be shown to others, it is the real secret.
"The seven noble families, as well as the first- and second-class noble families such as Daibei, Hebei, Jiangnan, Lingdong, Bashu, and Guanzhong, the fiefdoms given by Wu Lang may be said to be rich in products, but sparsely populated. The fiefdoms of the third-class noble families, but
It's very close to Chang'an, and most of the third-class and below houses are mixed together."
Li Yuanxing also followed up and said: "A third-class aristocratic family cannot change the world, unless there are twice as many outstanding people in their family and they make great progress in thirty years. Otherwise, compared with the family background, they are too far behind the second-class aristocratic families. In this part of South Asia, the enfeoffed
They must be loyal generals and military personnel, this is the gateway to the Southern Tang Dynasty."
"Here, the most important thing!" The position Li Yuanxing pointed at was Singapore in later generations.
"Let it be a military port directly under the royal family. No one is good. It's just that the guarding general will have to cost you and my brothers some brainpower in the future. At the moment, there really isn't a very suitable guarding envoy!" Li Er finished.
, rolled up the map with his own hands, and locked it in his own iron cabinet.
This map must not be seen by outsiders. This is the top secret of the expansion of the Tang Dynasty.
After locking the cabinet door, Li Er said to Li Yuanxing: "I'm afraid it will take a long time to go south this time. Please think more about whether you want to go to America or not. However, I have to think about bringing those families to Australia.
12. It’s a pity that this matter cannot go through Tianying Pavilion. Let Tianying Pavilion discuss it, I am afraid that the general trend of the world’s layout will be known to the world!”
"Brother Imperial, my brother's idea is that I want to requisition all Feng An's ships and give him a piece of land for the Feng family. That little Baiyue and the Japanese island are not worthy of being called enemies at all. The cabinet master really
If you want to take action, destroying them can only be done in a matter of seconds. However, the cabinet master's intention is to take this opportunity to train the Tang Dynasty's soldiers for hundreds of battles, as a plan for the future!"
"Okay, plan for the future!"
Li Er very much agrees with this long-term plan. Being strong today does not mean being strong in the future.
It is impossible for the cabinet master to lead troops every time there is a battle. Gradually, he will have to rely on the younger generation of generals in the Tang Dynasty.
The ones in Wadao are training for expeditionary force, while the ones at Baiyue are training for naval battles.
After looking at the world map, Li Er knew very well that the Tang Dynasty was going to conquer the whole world, and this process would be enough for him to struggle in his lifetime.
Li Yuanxing left the palace and immediately issued three orders after returning to General Tiance's Mansion. This was not a reward order, but a disarmament order. The twelve guards of the Tang Dynasty and the four guards of the Forbidden Army made a total of sixteen guards. The entire army
A big test. Anyone who fails will be kicked out of the army.
Among those who have been laid off, the outstanding ones, railway troops, naval transport troops, guards at various ports and terminals, and guards at various railway stations, can be given priority for admission.
The second order is to conduct a major examination for low-level officers. Each army recommends outstanding team leaders, team commanders, and regimental deputy generals to enter the military academy for special training.
The third order made the officers really scared. All officers who were not illiterate were forcibly dismissed from the military and sent back to school to study. When they learned it, they would return to the army. As for the fifth-grade level
Not only do you need to know Chinese characters, but you also need to be able to write military newspapers and other articles.
This time, even Cheng Motou and Yuchi Heitan were a little nervous. In order to prepare for the exam, they asked the scribes in the army and the government to give them special training.
That night, in the west of Chang'an City, a group of knights from the Prince of Qin's palace in bright armor escorted a carriage into Chang'an.
When the knights from Prince Qin's palace entered the city, the people had already given way to the road early without the front team shouting.
"It seems different from the previous armor!" A vendor selling goods on the roadside kept looking at this group of knights.
If you know the ropes, you can start analyzing it immediately.
"This one is different, but the helmet is the same. But the hat has a gold rim, and..."
The cabinet master's escort team is naturally different from Li Yuanxing's. It's not that who is more noble. It's just that the decorations in the team are different to distinguish them. The bright yellow is originally the color of the royal family. Since the cabinet master has the title of Supreme Emperor
, it is not an exaggeration to use bright yellow in decoration.
The cabinet master rushed back in a hurry, not because of Li Yuanxing's three orders.
In the study of Li Yuanxing in Admiral Tiance's Mansion, the cabinet master slowly looked at two copies of the watch. These were the watch seals of Huating Laolang. They were for the shipyard. A businessman wanted to estimate a ship with three thousand materials, and it would cost four
A steam engine must reach a cruising speed of forty miles per hour.
This speed, according to later calculations, means that the speed of the cargo ship reached about twelve knots.
Lao Lang didn't dare to make the decision whether to sell or not, but the big ship with three thousand materials was currently used by the military, and the maximum sold to civilians was eighteen hundred materials.
The other form was sent from Dandong Port.
There is no war in Dandong. There are eighty 500-year-old warships, twenty 3,000-year-old warships, and four 4,500-year-old warships parked there. For such a large fleet, except for daily training, there is no war at all.
, there were not even half an enemy around, and the entire Bohai Bay became the inland sea of the Tang Dynasty.
Dandong Military Port does not need so many warships, so it requested to be dispatched to other places.
"It seems that the generals in Dandong knew that there were pirates in Baiyue and attacked the ships in Lingnan!" After Li Yuanxing read the stamp on the watch, he asked the cabinet master: "How will grandpa arrange it?"
"Where we are, ships don't use size to determine combat effectiveness. But here, size is the difference in combat effectiveness. The question is whether it is necessary or not to arm the cargo ship now. I can't make up my mind about this matter, so
I just came to discuss it with you."
The cabinet master took a sip of tea and turned to look at Li Yuanxing.
"What do you think of Ryukyu and Okinawa?" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
