According to Romande, if the local area wants to develop agriculture, it will inevitably compete with Taiwan's originally numerous virgin forests for land. Another issue is the shipbuilding industry that Ding Yunyi attaches great importance to.
For the shipbuilding industry to develop, a large number of trees need to be cut down to build ships and tools. Among the many types of wood, camphor wood has the highest use value and economic value. It can not only be used for shipbuilding and tool making, but also can be made into camphor and sold in large quantities, which is very profitable.
Ding Yunyi's group needs to cut down trees to build ships, weapons, and wooden implements, and boil camphor to obtain large economic returns. The common people also need the same.
You cut it, I cut it, and the natural environment has been severely damaged. In just a few years, God has begun to punish Taiwan. As time goes on, the harm caused by destroying the natural environment will become more and more apparent.
Either vigorously develop Taiwan or protect the natural environment. There is only one choice between the two.
Ding Yunyi's heart is heavily inclined to the former. If Taiwan cannot develop, what can he do to protect Taiwan?
His thoughts were not hidden from Qin Yun: "Third brother, Su Yang Qiuyuan and Romande came up with some solutions together. One is to introduce drought-resistant crops, such as barley and sweet potatoes. There is also a crop discovered by the dry silk people, which is extremely
Can resist drought, called...called potatoes..."
"Ah, potatoes." Ding Yunyi said smoothly, seeing Qin Yun looking a little surprised, thinking that potatoes seemed to have just been introduced to China not long ago, and there were not many places to grow them. Potatoes are called potatoes in China, just like wheat.
After arriving in China, it was gradually called corn: "I heard from the priest that people in some places call it potatoes."
Qin Yun continued: "Su Yangqiuyuan has sent people to learn the experience of planting potatoes. Planting drought-tolerant crops is one of the first. Second, according to Luo Mande, central and western Taiwan belongs to the plain basin with developed agriculture. He believes that it will destroy
It is also very serious. But the east part is different. The east part of Taiwan is a virgin forest and mountainous area. Human activities are rarely carried out here. There are no human activities. There is no concept of disaster. Therefore, if trees must be cut down, you can
Move to the eastern area and provide us with trees."
After destroying the central and western parts, how about destroying the eastern part? No matter how big the virgin forest is, as long as it is targeted by humans, it will be completely destroyed in just a few decades. But now that I think about it, this is also the best one at the moment.
It can solve the problem of how development and the natural environment are compatible.
Ding Yunyi smiled bitterly: "In the future, if we need wood, we will go to the east. Although it will take more effort to operate, it is still an emergency measure. We have to fight against disasters, and our military development cannot stop for a moment. Although this is not a fundamental solution to the problem, we can
I can’t care about that much at the moment.”
Qin Yun nodded: "But Romande seems to be very unhappy. He believes that the virgin forest is the greatest wealth given by God to mankind and cannot be destroyed."
Ding Yunyi sighed: "Now we have to build ships, weapons, and houses. Which one of them lacks wood? Let me say something to comfort myself. If we don't destroy it, Taiwan will be destroyed if it falls into the hands of others. Come on, let it be
Romande, please concentrate on studying the production of crops."
Qin Yun smiled and said: "The last one is to turn all logging and camphor wood boiling into government affairs. Set up a special part-time office and a dedicated yamen. This can reduce damage and stop uncontrolled felling, and
It can bring us a lot of profits.”
"This is a good idea." Ding Yunyi blurted out: "We started to do this immediately and couldn't stop for a moment. I heard that whenever a drought comes, the most common thing people do is pray for rain. This is useless, it is of no use at all.
On the contrary, it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. I will stop such activities if I think it can be stopped. If it cannot be stopped, we must control it."
I asked carefully about the rest of the development, and generally I was satisfied with it. Ever since I set out to conquer the Central Plains, under the governance of these subordinates, everything in Taiwan has been in order.
Ding Yunyi pondered for a moment and changed the topic: "Our Huben Guard Navy has begun to take shape. How are the training of the newly recruited soldiers?"
Cai Jiuzhou was a little excited: "Sir, the Shi Weide and Mansura we hired are very good at leading troops, especially in the use of firearms. At present, we will divide all the recruited soldiers into two parts, one according to the Taixi
The training method is based on the training method of my Ming Dynasty. Especially due to the continuous disasters in Taiwan, there are many people joining the army. During the time that your Excellency left, our Huben Guards and Water Division, including firearms, gunners, and infantry, have
There are more than 3,700 qualified soldiers. We are still recruiting further."
"Daming Ocean Company also has armed employees, with 1,800 quasi-armed employees." Qin Yun also said.
Ding Yunyi was overjoyed when he heard this. So, he already has the strength of five or six thousand people? With this strength in his hands, he can handle any emergencies he encounters.
Suddenly something came to mind: "Everyone, this time I fought a bloody battle in the Central Plains. There was nothing around me, but I brought back more than two hundred elite cavalry. I plan to use this as a team to train a cavalry that can dominate the world. Everyone.
What do you think?"
This is somewhat unexpected.
Have they seen the cavalry that Ding Yunyi brought back? They just thought that he brought them back by the way, but they did not expect that Ding Yunyi had such great ambitions.
These people all came from the navy. Although they all rode horses, they had no idea about cavalry. Zhang Xianxuan couldn't help but said: "Sir, it is not impossible to form cavalry, but where can they train them? Soldiers are easy to handle, but war horses are hard to find.
"
This is a problem. Ding Yunyi frowned: "It's easy to find a training place, but the problem of war horses is really difficult. I think our elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty are nothing more than the border areas of the Central Plains, especially the border troops, who fight against the Jinlu all the year round.
, the cavalry is unparalleled..."
Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "When I was in the capital, I met Wu Sangui, the son of General Wu Xiang, and later we made a three-year appointment. It seems that I have to leave Taiwan again and go to Shanhaiguan to see this old man.
friend."
At this time, he had already set his mind on Wu Sangui.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Qin Yun said from the side: "Third brother, you have just returned to Taiwan. The journey has been tiring, so you should rest early. My sister-in-law is waiting for you in a hurry."
Ding Yunyi suddenly became a little embarrassed: "Well, speaking of sister-in-law...ah, I married a first wife in Suzhou...well, I am still on the way. She will arrive in the next few days.
....."
When the generals heard this, everyone started talking. Qin Yun said: "Third brother is really a great hero. He went to the Central Plains. First he brought us a sister-in-law, Chen Yuanyuan, and now he gave us this surprise. I did the math, and third brother has it."
Four ladies. In this regard, Zheng Zhilong is not as good as eldest brother."
There was a burst of laughter, and Ding Yunyi chuckled and cursed.
Qin Yun stood up and began to chase away the guests: "It's all gone, it's all gone, there are three ladies waiting for the third brother, tsk tsk, they all say a goodbye is better than a wedding, I think the third brother won't be able to get up tomorrow, I'm envious
,envious......"
Everyone dispersed amid laughter in the whole hall.
Ding Yunyi scratched his head. Just think about it. He had only been in this era for a few years, and he actually married four wives at once. This was something that he would have never dared to think about in his own time.
He quietly returned to his residence without letting the maid report. He hid at the door and peeked. He thought that he suddenly brought back Chen Yuanyuan. Ah Xi and Han Xiaoxiao must be unhappy. They didn't expect that these women, together with Lu Xue and Lu
The two sisters Hui actually had a lot of fun talking to Chen Yuanyuan.
Well, this is a good phenomenon.
Ah Xi has no scheming. Although Han Xiaoxiao is a woman, she is very forthright and generous. In addition, there are a few people with similar personalities, so they can get along well with each other. But she doesn't know that after the arrival of her first wife, Deng Lianyu, her personality will be different from theirs.
It's so different, I don't know if it can be the same as now.
He coughed outside the door and walked in.
Several women were startled. Ah Xi was the first one to jump up, rush to Ding Yunyi, hold Ding Yunyi in his arms, laugh and cry at the same time, the true feelings must be revealed.
Han Xiaoxiao's eyes were also red, but her face was full of happiness. She could control her emotions and just looked at Ding Yunyi with a smile. The two sisters, Lu Xue and Lu Hui, were also very happy and hurriedly went to Zhang Luo to give them to her.
Ding Yunyi washed his hands and face.
Ah Xi and Ding Yunyi were arguing for a while, and then jumped up and pulled Ding Yunyi to sit down. Before Ding Yunyi could sit down completely, he asked a lot of questions.
Ding Yunyi patiently answered one by one. In a blink of an eye, he saw Han Xiaoxiao looking at him with a half-smile, and pouting at Chen Yuanyuan. He immediately understood what she meant and said awkwardly: "This, this is Chen Yuanyuan, I'm in Suzhou.
when......"
"Eunuch-in-law Wang Chengen helped you do it." Han Xiaoxiao smiled and helped her husband get rid of the embarrassment: "Eunuch-in-law helped you do it, so you can't shirk it. Forget it, you don't have to explain. A real man has three wives and four wives.
Concubine, it is the right thing to do, not to mention that you are now a general, and your status is very different. We get along well with Yuanyuan, and I will be very happy to have another companion in the future."
Yes, you are happy. When Deng Lianyu comes again, you can get together at the mahjong table. Ding Yunyi suddenly had such a strange idea in his heart.
Well? There is no mahjong yet, right? Is it playing cards? It seems that there are no east, south, west, north, middle, hair, and white. Do you want to take the time to "invent" the real mahjong? Let yourself become the "Father of Mahjong"?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Ding Yunyi became more playful. Since he came to this era, he has been busy fighting all day long. Now that he has taken the time to invent a few gadgets, it can be regarded as "leaving his name in history" in another sense, right?
Which of the women would have thought that their husband was having this idea? Han Xiaoxiao said: "Husband, I heard that Yuanyuan said that you married a first wife in Suzhou?"
Ding Yunyi put his thoughts back, nodded solemnly, and then told the story of his marriage to Deng Lianyu.
Han Xiaoxiao was wholeheartedly thinking about her husband's future and greatly appreciated the marriage.
After dinner, in the afternoon, I originally wanted to drag my two wives into the room and enjoy the pleasure of sex, but doing this in broad daylight would make people laugh if word spread.
Both Han Xiaoxiao and Chen Yuanyuan had the habit of taking naps. Lu Xue and Lu Hui waited on them back to the room. But Ding Yunyi took Ah Xi and called Ah Hu who had just arrived after hearing the news, and asked people to find materials.
I hid in a small room and didn't know what I was tinkering with. I only heard the sound of saws and grinding coming from the room.
Han Xiaoxiao and Chen Yuanyuan woke up from their nap. The three of them were still busy in the small room, and no one was allowed to disturb them. Han Xiaoxiao smiled and said to Chen Yuanyuan: "Our husband always likes to keep things mysterious.
Weird things come out."
Until dinner time, they refused to come out even if they were asked to do so. They had to have their food handed in through a small window.
Han Xiaoxiao and Chen Yuanyuan had dinner and had a conversation. Importantly, they saw the door open. Ding Yunyi led Axi and Ahu out happily. Ding Yunyi was holding a box of things in his hand.
Ding Yunyi proudly put the box of things on the table: "Have you seen this?"
Han Xiaoxiao and Chen Yuanyuan looked curiously and saw small squares made of wood. They picked them up and looked carefully. They saw words like "Ten Thousand, Twenty Thousand" written on them, which were very similar to the playing cards they usually played.
.
"Mahjong, this is called Mahjong!" Ding Yunyi was very proud: "Axi, Ahu and I spent an entire afternoon making it. It is similar to playing cards, but much more interesting than playing cards. Come, I will teach you how to play."
Without allowing any further explanation, Han Xiaoxiao, Chen Yuanyuan and Ah Xi were asked to sit down around the Eight Immortals table and teach them how to play.
In fact, Mahjong is similar to playing cards at this time. Three numbers in the same door are connected and called "Kan", three numbers of the same number are "Peng" and four numbers are the same and "Open Kong".
Han Xiaoxiao and Chen Yuanyuan can both play cards, but Ah Xi can't, but mahjong can be mastered with just a little guidance.
At first, the three women were just curious about the new thing "Mahjong", but the more they played, the more anxious they became. When it was time to hold the lights, the four of them still had a great time. Later, even Lu Xue and Lu Hui moved their stools.
Watching from the side with great interest.
Relying on his familiarity with mahjong, Ding Yunyi deceived them into playing mahjong for the first time, and proposed to play with money, and all three women agreed. Ding Yunyi originally wanted to make a lot of money, but he never expected that these three women would understand mahjong.
It was really too fast, especially Han Xiaoxiao and Chen Yuanyuan, who were good at playing cards. In less than an hour, Ding Yunyi actually became a big loser.
Ding Yunyi lost so much that he was sweating profusely and owed a lot of gambling debts. Only then did God realize that women are born to be experts at playing mahjong.
Ding Yunyi felt frustrated. He had successfully invented some mahjong, but his pocket was empty and he still had to play so hard.
But anyway, a generation of "Father of Mahjong" was born here!!~!
