Chapter 223: It's really scary, it shouldn't be announced
In the Spring and Autumn Period, when smelting reached a certain scale and was equipped with related crafts, such as weapon forging or the making of agricultural tools, it could actually be regarded as an industrial city.
Anyone with basic common sense will know very well that as long as any industry is concentrated enough, it will burst out with full energy.
Zhishi has centralized the smelting industry and the forging industry, eliminating the intermediate process of transportation. The savings are not only transportation costs, but also not shortening of time. The technological progress generated by exchanges is particularly critical.
The next second five-year plan is to build canals from Dalu Ze to "Handan". In the process, a huge number of trees will be cut down, and they can be sent to "Handan" and "Ye" for various projects.
Process and make into various furniture or other items, such as weapon shafts or arrow shafts, etc.
"No, my house has been next to a big river for a long time, and there will be a coast soon. Can we try to build a boat?" Zhiyao thought to herself.
Therefore, the point of saying that plans are not as good as changes is that new projects will always need to be launched due to changes in the situation and itself.
There is a big river to the south of the area to be developed. It is feasible to find a suitable river bank to build a shipbuilding base. It is also no problem for the tree trunks to follow the confluence and head east to the sea.
When it comes to big rivers, it is rarely associated with water wars, as if big rivers cannot sail boats. Such perceptions are of course wrong.
In fact, large rivers have been used for canal transport in history, but compared with large rivers, they were used less for canal transport, resulting in a sense of disparity.
The current big rivers are not yellow at all. The river sections are more dangerous and the currents are more rapid than the big rivers. This has actually happened since ancient times. This is also the second reason why the water transport value of the big rivers is higher than that of the big rivers.
When she thought of having the ability to build ships, Zhiyao couldn't help but start thinking about it, and she didn't seem to be a northerner at all.
Who among serious northerners would be interested in shipbuilding, right?
However, whether Zhiyao is from the south or the north, he is very aware of the importance of having shipbuilding capabilities. Betifcha has already launched a seaborne landing operation. The result may not be great. It really scares the monarchs of Qi to the point of almost incontinence.
Considering that there will be a competition between Jin and Wu in the future, and Zhiyao may not be able to land a sea landing on Qi, the Zhi family has a territory along the coast, whether Zhiyao imitates Fu Chai in sea assault, or Fu Chai once again launches a beach landing against Jin
, having your own shipbuilding ability is always a good thing, right?
Of course, since it is a field that has never been touched before, it is not that Zhiyao can do it as soon as he wants to. If he really wants to realize it, what he should do is to send people out to search for relevant talents, such as abducting Chu State, Wu State
Or some nobles from the Yue Kingdom came to Zhishi.
Nowadays, those who have studied the shipbuilding industry are Chu, Wu and Yue. Wu is the most knowledgeable about shipbuilding, followed by Chu. Yue is actually just a party member.
The current Yue State is not very strong in shipbuilding. It would be great if they can build small boats. They need to wait until they swallow up the State of Wu and obtain the property of the State of Wu before they can start to prosper.
Another point is that even the shipbuilding of Chu and Wu is quite primitive according to the current era.
"It seems... there is no need to deliberately abduct him? Even if I, a layman, taught me, the conceptual starting point would be higher than the current shipbuilding technology of Chu and Wu?" Zhiyao made up his mind to start shipbuilding.
However, the scale does not need to be huge at the beginning. You can start by clarifying a series of concepts.
Didn’t the Zhi family get the Gongshu family? There is no shortage of carpenters at all. With Zhi Yao providing some concepts, it’s just a matter of accumulating skills first.
No joke, just because Zhiyao knew that ships needed to be laid with keels, he was at least conceptually ahead of Chu and Wu, which currently have the strongest shipbuilding capabilities, by more than a few hundred years.
The knowledge that flat-bottomed boats are not suitable for navigation was not understood by Zhu Xia until the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, shipbuilding is not that simple. It is necessary to explore and explore. It is better to do it first than to do nothing, right?
Furthermore, Zhiyao really didn’t want to launch a big feature story from the beginning, and just did it step by step.
"How many acres are there here!?" Zhishen looked confused.
How do you say this? There is no unit of "hectare" yet, and it is usually calculated in terms of "mu".
The acres of all countries..., or the acres of each country, are not necessarily the same in area. The reason is that the people who measure it may not necessarily take the same step because of their height; in terms of measuring tools, everyone
The families are all different too. It’s not that they don’t want to be the same, it’s just that they simply can’t do it.
Of course, a similar situation will not happen to the Zhi family. Zhi Yao has unified the Zhi family's measurement. It doesn't matter how other families play. Anyway, the Zhi family has always adopted a strict and serious attitude towards counting units.
Zhiyao smiled and said: "About eighteen thousand hectares."
Zhishen looked at the endless farmland and was dumbfounded at the scene.
The area unit of qing was of course introduced by Zhiyao and has been accepted and used internally by Zhishi.
Regardless of just adding some new words and counting units, the progress is beyond imagination. The more you know about it, the better you can understand what role it will play in the future.
In the current era, one acre is different in every country. Not only is the measurement mentioned above different, some countries have a circumference of 100 steps per acre, while some countries have a length of 300 meters and a width of 300 meters.
For one acre.
An acre of the Zhi family's land is based on the modern unit created by Zhiyao. An acre of land is about 666.7 square meters. It is much larger than other families in Jin and other countries. One hectare is one hundred acres.
In fact, Zhi Yao has been changing the Zhi family, and the Zhi family is influencing the other families in Jin, from the same family having the greatest influence, including other high-ranking families who are also training the new army, to fully accepting the measures made by the Zhi family
Spend.
Zhiyao has an attitude of being happy to see other families learn from them. His mentality is very unsophisticated. He thinks that there is no need to start from scratch after annexation, but others cannot understand it at all.
Therefore, if Zhishen does something, other families can use Zhishen's research results, and the "patent fees" they should pay must not be less!
After coming back to his senses, Zhishen asked blankly: "Can you farm this year?"
Zhiyao replied: "Naturally."
Zhishen began to use his little mathematical knowledge to calculate how much harvest he could get from one farming operation. He couldn't even figure out how much he could gain from farming, and even though his brain was full of all kinds of calculations, he still couldn't figure out a reason.
According to the yield of one acre, which is one hundred steps, a person needs at least four acres to support himself, and a family needs at least about 20 acres of cultivated land. From this we can see how low the yield of one acre is.
Since last year, Zhishi has researched warm fertilizer and conducted small-scale experiments. The result is that the yield per acre can be increased to about one stone.
And that's before changing the calculation unit, so it can be seen that mastering fertilization is really a big killer!
Of course, because it is an experimental nature, it is inevitable that we will pay more attention to services, such as pest control and weeding. It is certain that the grain yield will increase. If we treat it with a normal mind, the grain yield may show a downward trend.
Even though Zhiyao knew that her old father could do nothing, she still didn't want to interrupt Zhishen's calculations.
"Based on two stones per mu, the annual grain output here is still very scary!" Zhiyao glanced at the newly reclaimed farmland, suddenly filled with ambition.
This is only the first five-year plan. With the construction of the irrigation system connecting the mainland's lakes and rivers, the Zhi family's agricultural strength will inevitably expand in a new round.
Zhiyao also built a "Ye" city to develop industry. Although the industry is not comparable to modern times, the problem is that only the Zhi family has it in Zhuxia, and no other families or other countries have it. It is said to be a bit ahead in all aspects.
Nothing too much.
As long as the development of the Zhi family is not interrupted, Zhi Yao really can't think of anyone who can stop the Zhi family from succeeding the Jin Dynasty, sweeping through all the countries in Shandong, and even sending troops to conquer the north and south to open up new territories.
"When will the second five-year plan mentioned by Yao be revived?" Zhishen calculated for a long time, and it was completely lonely. However, just because Zhishen increased 18,000 hectares of cultivated land, the first five-year plan will not count.
It has achieved significant results.
Zhiyao tried to hold back her smile, but she couldn't.
Look, let's just say, if the first five-year plan shows results, it won't be necessary for Zhiyao to do his best, and other people in the Zhi family will be unable to sit still.
Zhiyao said with a smile: "Sir, don't be anxious. Let's benefit from it first, make up for the rest of my family, and then we will see the situation."
The threat from the State of Wu is becoming more and more imminent. Even if they do not directly provoke the State of Jin, they just repeatedly attack the State of Qi, State of Lu, and State of Chen. In fact, they cannot allow the State of Jin to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Of course, Zhiyao did not want to stand up for the countries that were attacked by Wu. The key point was that he could not sit back and watch. It was necessary to intervene. Whether it was to curb Wu's expansion and plunder, or to Jin's own repeated gains, the use of troops was inevitable.
Will use troops.
"I heard Qin Fu made some changes," Zhishen said.
Zhiyao was stunned at this, and asked in surprise: "Qin Yudong is coming out?"
How many years has it been since the Qin Dynasty ceased to exist? Did they solve Rongdi or Yiqu, or did they feel that the Jin Dynasty was greatly weakened after civil strife and wanted to take advantage of it?
The news about Qin's sudden change was from the Wei family, and the one who felt the most nervous was the Han family.
The reason why the Wei family pays attention to the Qin State is relatively simple. The Qin army went to war without declaring it several times, but the Wei family suffered great losses, especially because too many Li Shu people were massacred.
Of course, the Han family must feel nervous. They had just exchanged cities with the Zhi family, and the work of moving Li Shu was very heavy. Moreover, they had just begun to get familiar with the new fiefdom. They were in a weak state that was not weak. Once the Qin State really easted again,
Not to mention how badly the Qin army was defeated, just the forced interruption of the migration would cause heavy losses.
Zhiyao knew why Zhishen mentioned Qin.
In fact, the Jin State did not take the Qin State seriously. It simply hated this country that repeatedly declared war. After each lesson, it only seized a little bit of Qin State's land. It was not that it did not want to retaliate more violently. It was completely Qin's side.
It is true that the land is vast and the people are sparse, and the efforts and rewards are not proportional. Furthermore, it has been repeatedly disrupted by Chu and Qi.
At present, Zhishen is the "Yuan Rong". If the Qin army really marches eastward, Zhishen must not remain indifferent. Even if he pretends, he must take action.
"Qin? I really want to see it." Zhiyao became interested.
Of course, if Qin didn't take the initiative to come, Jin wouldn't be interested in going west anyway.
