Xu Guangqi believes that it is not a problem to buy and transport grain with his influence, and said:

"100,000 taels of silver is enough to be able to transfer 100,000 stone of winter wheat to the north, and there is a guarantee for the teacher, and the balance can be settled after all the grain arrives in Hong Kong.

You can rest assured that within a month and a half, the first batch of grain will definitely be able to appear at Funing Wharf.

I haven't saved a lot of gold and silver connections for many years as a teacher and an official, and I don't dare to make things difficult if I don't open my eyes, if I dare to fight these life-saving food with my eyes open, won't I kill people as a teacher? ”

Huang Han knew that the water transported by sea and Cao in the Ming Dynasty was too deep.

As a fourth-grade military attache in Daming, he has to rely on his own strength to organize several large and ten sea ships to transport grain, and he does not know how many hurdles he faces along the way.

It's nothing to eat and take a card, and it is very likely to be directly deducted by the name of Haiphong Dao.

However, Xu Guangqi, the left attendant of the Qingliu Rite Department, came forward to buy relief food, and even the emperor's relatives and nobles did not dare to start, and the magistrates and coastal defense generals would not eat leopard gall.

The key to success is to use the right person, Huang Han entrusted Xu Guangqi to do this great event of accumulating good deeds and merits, and the old man really does not need to raise his whip to work hard.

He not only used his connections to try to buy more food and spend less money, but also wrote letters to several protégés of Haiphong Province, asking them not to make things difficult and to provide protection.

Who would dare to neglect the things ordered by the old superiors who are about to become the secretary of the Ministry of Rites? How can anyone be a fool who can be an official?

Usually, I have to deliberately stammer, and I don't know where to start, but I don't know what to do, and I don't have to do it properly.

With the expectation that 100,000 stone spring wheat will be shipped soon, Huang Han does not need to save too much food, and he will not be extravagant and wasteful, it is essential to provide two meals for all the displaced people, and the hired displaced people will get three meals.

At this time, Huang Han found the loophole of excessive food consumption and plugged it in time, because the practice of eating a big pot of rice was too stupid and undesirable, and the waste was too serious.

For example, a common man is obviously full after eating three cookcakes and a bowl of porridge, but because he eats a large pot of rice without limits, he has to kill at least four cookcakes even if he eats too much.

Not only is this bad for your health, but it also directly enlarges your stomach.

If you eat your own food in your own home, this common man is willing to eat six or seven percent full at most, and eating two cooking cakes is considered a luxury.

Therefore, when the big pot is eaten, the food consumed by 100 people can make the 200 people who live a small life eat healthy.

Thinking that immediate implementation is Huang Han's style of doing things, the big pot of rice was canceled, and now the miscellaneous grains and rice noodles are given to the people once every ten days according to the proportion.

The large canteen that eats three meals in a group cannot overeat uncontrollably, and basically adopts the mode of one strong laborer serving a bowl of porridge and two multigrain cakes for one meal.

At present, even the entire "Red Banner Army" implements food rationing, and the soldiers' three meals are set according to the standard that a normal person can be 80% full, and protein replenishment can now only rely on sea fish.

The soldiers all expressed their understanding, after all, the displaced people everywhere need a mouthful of food to live, and it is harmless for everyone to eat less, maybe the saved food can save a life.

After solving the problem of eating, many workshops planned by Huang Han began to break ground, and the construction of ditches also called a large number of displaced people under the guidance of Xu Guangqi.

The homeless people are happy to be employed, because if they get a job, they will get three meals, and they will also get a subsidy of at least ten yuan, and if they do a good job, they will be officially hired, and they will be paid no less than twenty yuan a day.

Getting along with Xu Guangqi day and night did understand a lot of science and technology belonging to this era, Huang Han felt that he benefited a lot, and the scientist also felt that talking to the closed disciples solved many doubts in his heart.

He now spends half an hour every day practicing a set of boxing methods taught by Huang Han to strengthen the body, and the scientists practice very seriously, and he quite likes this new boxing method with yin and yang, rigidity and softness, and both internal and external cultivation - Taijiquan.

In later generations, there were countless people who practiced Tai Chi during morning exercises, and Huang Han was also one of them. He did his best for Xu Guangqi's health and guided scientists to fall in love with Tai Chi.

Because in history, this great scientist would die in office in the sixth year of Chongzhen due to illness. Nowadays, if you practice Tai Chi every day to strengthen your body, maybe the elderly will be able to live a few more years.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Huang Han invested in several labor-intensive industries, and the brick kiln alone digested 30,000 male and female laborers, and women and half-grown children were busy making brick embryos.

Women and children will get three meals and can also receive 10 yuan a day, and strong laborers will receive 20 to 40 yuan a day according to the workload, after all, there are differences between people, some people are energetic and work fast, so they earn more correspondingly.

The brick kiln adopts the mode of piecework to pay remuneration, which is naturally a manifestation of rewarding attendance and punishing laziness.

Qin bricks and Han tiles, brick-making is the oldest traditional craft of the Han people, developed to the Ming Dynasty, potters have long understood that in order to reduce costs, they must make full use of heat energy, and more efficient wheel kiln bricks came into being.

It's just that most of the modern craftsmanship is passed down by the old potters and masters, and there is no written record.

In order to gather the directors of each family for his own use, Huang Han specially personally found seven or eight famous potters in Kaiping Town.

These people were all leaders of craftsmen who worked in brick kilns similar to those of later wheel kilns.

After a few small talks, Huang Han judged that these craftsmen from different kilns had their own strengths and had opinions about the kilns they were responsible for.

Huang Han gave each person a heavy reward of 20 taels of silver on the spot, these craftsmen with black faces and thick hands shook their legs when they saw the official, and saw that this lord gave silver just to get their experience in kiln burning.

It took one night, a trial version of the wheel kiln brick burning process of more than ten pages was completed, and when Huang Han presented the booklet to Xu Guangqi, the old man was overjoyed, and he thought that it would be possible for more people to benefit from the printing and dissemination of this technical book to the world.

Huang Han can't change more people for the time being, he arranged for it to be published, but it was only spread in the wheel kiln of his own system and became the operating standard.

The scientist is still too idealistic, Huang Han is familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, he does not want to help the world at the same time, he just wants to ensure that the brick kiln he invests in will use what should be the most advanced process in the world today.

This is just the first draft, and it will be refined after accumulating practical experience.

Kaiping is blessed with unique high-quality coal resources, and the brick-burning industry, which is not high-tech and requires a lot of labor, has easily been launched, solving the employment problem of too many people.
