Food does not seem to be a strategic material, but it affects strategy and tactics at any time. Want to go to war? Just look at how much money you have in your pocket. Why go to war if you have no money or food? That is courting death. Before the troops are ready,
Send food and grass first, do you understand?
Steaming wine requires grain. There are no potatoes, no sweet potatoes, no cassava, no corn in this world. Without these four killer foods, all other grains are very important. Three pounds of grain and one pound of wine, regardless of steaming
Whether the wine is made from rice, millet or millet, one pound less steamed Zuixian wine saves one pound of grain. One pound of grain is enough for many people to eat for two days.
This instruction at the foot of Mahan Mountain was very detailed. It not only specified the area where grain should be purchased, but also instructed how to store grain. What everyone didn't understand was that along with the instruction, there was a sentence: Purchase all edible things in large quantities, such as
Dried fruits, raw fruits. Dried fruits are collected, but raw fruits are used to make wine.
The profit of Zuixian Liquor is very high. If you steam less than a kilogram, you will earn one or two silver less. In order to supplement the shipment volume, the wine is brewed with fruits, and then steamed to make Zuixian Liquor. Although, the quality and quantity of the wine are reduced in this way.
It may be reduced and the cost will go up, but the price can be raised within a limited amount to ensure total profits. Anyway, ordinary people cannot afford to drink this, and all the money earned is the money of the rich. Ma Hanshan has no psychological burden at all.
The second priority is to produce mature cord mines, grenades, and gasoline bottles at full speed, produce a batch of ignition fixed-loading guns, and step up the development of flintlock breech-loading guns.
Whether it is a matchlock gun that appeared in another time and space or Mahanshan's ignition gun, the principles are actually the same. But the advanced point of Wagonzhai's gun is that it actually developed fixed-load ammunition. The so-called fixed-load ammunition now is actually the former.
It is installed by stuffing the proportioned gunpowder and iron balls into the muzzle. But because of the emergence of fixed ammunition, the shooting speed has been greatly increased. The shooting speed is combat power, not to mention the increase in speed, which is the increase in speed.
Every little bit counts for life on the battlefield.
The third important instruction requires hardware companies and casting companies to improve the quality of hot-rolled pipes, develop cold-rolled pipe machinery, and speed up the smelting of aluminum metal.
All kinds of copper pipes and iron pipes in Wagangzhai have been obtained by pour casting. However, the pipes cast by pour mold are not only rough, but also the output is too low. Therefore, many precision things cannot be produced at all.
.
So Zhang Machinery is a genius and the treasure of Wagang Village because this guy is really good. Not long after the hydraulic stamping machine tool was successfully developed, he, Liu Guisan and others just based on the so-called "research direction" provided by Ma Hanshan
The machines and methods for hot-rolled pipes were figured out.
Although the copper and iron pipes manufactured in Wagangzhai are still very crude and unusable from the perspective of modern people, in Dasong, they are already very remarkable industrial products. Without these hot-rolled pipes, Mahanshan would
He also dared not lay tap water in the special zone. Of course, the muskets did not dare to be mass-produced. What troubled Ma Hangaoshan now was that the iron pipes could not be surface treated. Although he knew that the iron pipes were galvanized, let alone how to plate them.
This world has not even produced zinc yet.
What made him happy was that the metallurgy in Wagonzhai had made great progress, and various specifications of steel had been produced. Tungsten had even been found and smelted into tungsten alloy.
For this reason, several disciples who played with machinery and hardware regarded Mahanshan as a god, because all their achievements were achieved under Mahanshan's "guidance".
Don't underestimate this "pointing". Direction is very important. Many times, just because Mahanshan points out the direction, researchers can save immeasurable time and effort.
Ma Hanshan felt that a big change was coming, so he was very nervous and felt that there were many things to prepare for. However, he also knew where the current limit of Wagang Village was, so he could only focus on food.
Therefore, the fourth priority is to expand the population of Wagangzhai, find suitable places for farming in the surrounding valleys, vigorously open up wasteland and cultivate fields, and also order to produce mixed fertilizer at full speed and research insecticide drugs.
The summer grain harvest in Lin'an's experimental field has been harvested, and there is a huge difference in yield between using mixed fertilizer and not using mixed fertilizer. Therefore, Ma Hanshan believes that the formula and production method of mixed fertilizer are mature.
Mahanshan has rented a large area of paddy fields and dry land to the north of the special zone and is preparing to test the use of mixed fertilizers on a large area. If the results of the increase in autumn grain production are satisfactory, the mixed fertilizers will be introduced to the regional market next year. Obtaining potassium and phosphorus from mixed fertilizers
It is no longer a problem, but the acquisition of nitrogen cannot be synthesized now, so it is still troublesome to obtain. Therefore, although mixed fertilizer is good, its output is limited, and it can only be promoted in limited areas.
Wagangzhai received instructions from the leader of Ma Dazhai. The top management held a meeting for a day and another meeting of all cadres. Then the relevant personnel took up their posts according to the instructions of the leader. Shi Hualong also led his battalion commander's company.
Four hundred selected militiamen left Wagang Village.
However, not all of them are going to Lin'an.
According to Ma Hanshan's arrangement, the three battalion commanders took three company commanders east to Lin'an. They would be responsible for selecting 4,000 new army soldiers from the Forbidden Army. Then, the three battalion commanders each led a company commander and rushed to Xiangfan respectively.
, Shouchun and Tianshui troops trained local frontier troops.
Naturally, those who went to Xiangfan were to train the Xiangfan garrison and the army under Jinghu command. Because Xiangfan had already established a military-civilian joint construction unit with Wagang Village, and the generals in the garrison had long seen the glory of the militia, so the training in Xiangfan should be the most cooperative.
Xiangfan is the gateway. If the border troops in Xiangfan can cooperate well, Ma Hanshan will feel at ease.
Shouchun had veteran General Meng Zhong, and Ma Hanshan also believed that the cooperation of the border troops would not be a problem. He had a headache with the Tianshui Army on Lizhou Road. In the west, the folk customs were strong, and the generals of the Tianshui Army had military exploits.
, it is probably not that easy to ask them to hand over the soldiers to the people in Wagonzhai for training. However, Mahanshan is beyond reach, so the battalion commander here can only assign his own skills.
As for the New Army, Ma Hanshan is not worried at all. Not to mention that the division commander of the New Army, Meng Lianggon, is a fresh and hot hero. Based on the treatment of the New Army, the soldiers will definitely train hard. In the history of the Song Dynasty, what
When did Qiu Ba have such treatment? When did anyone treat Qiu Ba as a human being? But the New Army is different. Just looking at military regulations and treatment can make those Qiu Ba who are comparable to untouchables give up.
On this day, Ma Hanshan was looking at the copied roster of the Forbidden Army. He shook his head as he read it. He was not cursing, but who the hell are they. Is this the Imperial Army of Dasong? Lucky for Dasong, such a Imperial Army only loses half of its defense.
We are so lucky that our country has not been overthrown. Our ancestors have blessed us.
If the ancestors of Long Guangning heard this, they would probably jump out of their coffins. What kind of words are these? It's lucky to lose half of the country.
Dasong's Forbidden Army is the Central Army, the main force protecting the country, but Ma Hanshan saw from the roster that this Forbidden Army is simply useless. The weight and height are completely out of proportion. Some are extremely thin, and some are fat, but some are also extremely fat.
, some are extremely tall, and some are extremely short. The most terrible thing is that the height and weight of all the people are completely out of proportion. This shows that some of them died of hunger and some of them starved to death. Can such an army fight?
"Report." Ma Hanshan was cursing and looking at the roster when security guard 147 suddenly came in to report.
"What's the matter?" Ma Hanshan did not raise his head.
"Master Hu, the prefect of Qingyuan, has arrived." 147 said in a suppressed voice.
The reason why he suppressed his voice was because the so-called invitation was a forced invitation. Hu Ju was "invited" by them on the road before he even entered the city. This was tantamount to kidnapping an official, and I was afraid.
"Well, please invite him in." Ma Hanshan originally wanted to meet Hu Ju in the front hall, but after thinking about it, he might as well meet in the backyard. It is not appropriate to let more people know about this kind of thing.
The reason why Ma Hanshan wanted to see Hu Ju was because he wanted Hu Ju to submit a petition to the emperor to send envoys to visit Xixia, Xixia and Dali. Of course, the most important thing was to ask him to recommend Bi Liancheng as envoy to Xixia and Yu Pei as envoy to Dali.
"Master Hu, we meet again, sit down, sit down, come, serve tea..." Ma Hanshan smiled and asked the angry Hu Ju to sit down.
Hu Ju did not sit down, but angrily stepped forward and glared at Ma Hanshan and said: "Ma Hanshan, don't go too far. The worst is that the fish will die and the net will be broken, and the two will be scattered."
"Master Hu, why do you say this? When has Ma ever offended Master Hu? Has he ever harmed Master Hu? Master Hu, don't forget that the great achievements you just made were all because of me. Otherwise, how could you have accomplished this?"
I've made a great contribution and got promoted and made a fortune. It's fine if you don't thank me, but you say bad things to me. This...is this the virtue of you scholars?" Ma Hanshan was still smiling.
When Hu Ju thought about it, it seemed that all his merits were because of this boy.
However, he was still very unhappy because he had a lot of leverage in this bastard's hands.
Now Hu Ju is also a high-ranking member of the party, but he is being controlled by a teenage bastard. This feeling is very uncomfortable.
"Huh, so what." Although Hu Ju was angry, he had no choice but to sit down and wait for Ma Hanshan to say something.
"It's okay. I admire Mr. Hu, so I keep giving him credit." Ma Hanshan smiled and sat across from Hu Ju. He made a gesture of invitation and said, "Master Hu, please give me tea."
"If you have something to say, talk about it, and if you have something to say, hurry up." Hu Ju didn't appreciate it.
"Well, I heard that the emperor is going to send Mr. Hu to visit Northern Mongolia?" Ma Hanshan narrowed his eyes and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Hu, you are going to be promoted and make a fortune again."
"Is it your idea? It's impossible..." Hu Ju was very surprised, but he immediately denied his suspicion. How could it be possible? How could a commoner get involved in important political affairs?
"Master Hu, how is this possible? I just feel that while Master Hu is getting promoted and making a fortune, he should also share the worries of the court and support his colleagues." Ma Hanshan paused and said, "I invite Master Hu here because I have something to ask for. I hope that Hu
Your Excellency, please submit a petition to the imperial court to send envoys to Xixia, Xibo and Dali."
"Why?" Hu Ju was very surprised and confused. What did this kid want to do?
"Oh Lord Hu, the reason is the same as the reason for sending Northern Mongolia, Mu Bang." Ma Hanshan said lightly, "Why do you think it yourself, but you have to recommend Bi Liancheng to Xixia, and the remaining price to Dali..."
