Iron Dynasty

Twenty burners lined up on the ground.

After instructing Pang Yukun about the logistics, Xiao Ming looked at these yellow-orange-orange fire tubes, which were different in structure from the artillery. These fire tubes were narrow at both ends and thick in the middle, and they were basically primitive fire guns.

Moreover, the caliber is also small compared to his artillery, not to mention the range.

Xiao Wenxuan was humiliated by the barbarians this time and turned into anger. This time, he was willing to give him the torches. These torches were all made of brass. In Xiao Ming's eyes, this was a torch, and it was clearly copper.

It's no wonder that many emperors couldn't help but use this brass artillery to make money.

"His Royal Highness, what should I do with this flame? Do you want to send it to Cangzhou City together?" Pang Yukun asked.

Xiao Ming smiled and said, "No, twenty fire tubes should be enough to make a brass artillery. Let's send it directly to the Equipment Department."

"Yes, Your Highness." Pang Yukun said.

He never liked to talk too much about things he didn't understand.

Xiao Ming was quite satisfied with Xiao Wenxuan's reaction this time. He thought that the procedure would be Xiao Wenxuan writing a letter to curse King Shu, and then King Shu made a bunch of excuses to shirk, and Xiao Wenxuan wrote him again to make him wait.

What surprised him was that Xiao Wenxuan handled it properly this time, first solved his urgent need, and then went to clean up the King of Shu.

It can be seen that people are pressed into a hurry and can always do something. This time he would like to thank the barbarian envoy for humiliating this cheap father.

After inspecting the supplies sent this time at the Dudu's Mansion, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun went outside the city.

Now Chen Qi and Lu Tong can only count on Chen Qi and Lu Tong to produce artillery and gunpowder, and he doesn't have much to worry about.

However, not only the fields of the people's homes have to harvest wheat, but his official houses also have to harvest wheat.

He once promised that Lu Fei's acquisition of Chengdu from these official villages belonged to the Qingzhou Army, and it was time for him to fulfill his promise.

On the riverside of Xiaoqing River, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun stopped and looked. Opposite was the Qingzhou Army's official field. At this time, the golden wheat was endless, and a gust of wind blew by, rolling up the layers of wheat.

Looking at the crops in the field, Xiao Ming was even more happy than seeing the success of the first artillery.

Food is the heaven for the people, and agriculture is the foundation of the country. With food, the people will settle down and the soldiers of the army will fight with peace of mind. Otherwise, the people will only rise up in exchange for the poor.

Because it was about to harvest, Lu Fei specially arranged for soldiers of the Qingzhou Army to patrol Guantian to prevent people from stealing wheat.

Most of the people are safe and secure, but there will always be people who are lazy and get something for nothing.

Three days ago, a corner of this official village was secretly cut a small piece of wheat at night, which caused Lu Fei's anger into thunder.

In his heart, this official village is more important than his life, but he and the soldiers are leading the cattle to farm, holding the **** to weed, and looking mature day by day.

Immediately he sent soldiers to guard him day and night, and went to the government office personally, asking the arrest to investigate the matter quickly.

The government office knew the seriousness of this incident, and within two days it caught the person who stole the wheat, and Lu Fei was beaten when he left.

But despite this, things like this often happen in the people's fields.

"His Royal Highness, after this harvest, the people's life should be better." Pang Yukun stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes dyed golden yellow by the wheat.

Xiao Ming is working on a large workshop area outside the city. At present, the main benefits are merchants, but the people don't get much benefit.

After all, this workshop area is only an extremely small commercial area that cannot drive the entire Qingzhou city, let alone the other five states.

"Yes, tax is reduced or exempted for three years. The government doesn't take a point for this harvest. People should have surplus food in their homes." Xiao Ming also smiled.

Once the people have surplus food in their hands, they will sell part of it for money.

Only when there is money left in the family will they be consumed. In this way, the economy of the six states will slowly revitalize.

"It's just that I have to work hard to do business to enrich the treasury." Pang Yukun said with emotion.

During this period of time, everything Xiao Ming did was seen by him. A feudal lord who can consider the people in this way, I am afraid that Dayu Kingdom cannot find a second one.

The longer he gets along with Xiao Ming, the more he feels that Xiao Ming seems to have a thought that he can't even understand, and he doesn't know where this strange thought came from.

"Among them, I don't want to die here miserably."

Xiao Ming sighed in his heart, why didn't he ever want to enjoy the fun of being a feudal king and lead an extravagant life.

Just like farming, if you want to harvest food, you have to work hard, which is why he farms and engages in industry.

After all, when he came to such a place, he had nothing except technological advantages. He didn't have a family of princes like other princes.

And he is not good at conspiracy and tricks. After all, he grew up in modern times and the education he received from childhood is that the world is full of love.

Therefore, his goal has always been very clear, to win the hearts of the people, to climb technology, and to engage in business.

The two were talking, a sound of horseshoes came from afar, and soon the cow ran in front of them.

Lu Fei and Luo Xin followed behind them, and the three were relaxed.

"His Royal Highness, what a coincidence, you are here." Niu Ben laughed and got off the horse.

Lu Fei said directly: "The governor must look at the Qingzhou Army's own manor, and the general brought him over."

"Pang Changshi and I are also talking about this manor. You Qingzhou army should not be careless about the wheat harvesting. When the time comes, hurry up and grab the harvest so that it will not rain and the wheat will rot in the ground." Xiao Ming said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this time the captain came to harvest the wheat." Lu Fei said.

At this time, Niu Ben said: "His Royal Highness can take out his property to the Qingzhou Army. It is really something very people can do. I admire and admire it!"

"Thanks to the old general. This is also a helpless move. Qingzhou is embarrassed. This is also because the Qingzhou army will not be short of food and clothing, and the slack training of troops ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ busy farming does not delay the training of the Qingzhou army."

Niu Ben nodded, but he could understand Xiao Ming's thoughts. It's normal for the frontier army to mobilize fields from ancient to modern times.

While talking, the group crossed the stone bridge and walked towards the wheat field.

When he arrived in the field, Niu Ben skillfully pinched a wheat ear and rubbed it, then bit the wheat grain in his mouth, and said, "Well, the wheat is still a bit moist, and it can be harvested in two days. One thousand people should be enough at that time."

Xiao Ming’s land yield is 100 hectares, which is 10,000 mu of land. Nowadays, Da Yu country can harvest about three stones of grain per mu.

If nothing happens this time, 300,000 shi of grain is enough.

After all, the Qingzhou Army now has only 20,000 people, and this 300,000 food is enough to feed 20,000 people for more than a year.

In addition, another season can be harvested this year, and there are arable land reclaimed by the army in other places. In this way, the army’s food problem is solved.
