Twenty torches were lined up on the ground. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After instructing Pang Yukun on this logistical matter, Xiao Ming looked at these yellow-orange and orange fire barrels, which were different from the structure of the artillery, these fire barrels were narrow at both ends and thick in the middle, which were basically primitive fire guns.

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

Xiao Wenxuan was annoyed and angry by the barbarians for a while this time, and this time he was willing to give him the torch, these torches were all made of brass, in Xiao Ming's eyes, this is a torch, it is clearly a copper coin.

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

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

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "No need, twenty cannabs should be enough to make a brass cannon, let's send it directly to the Instruments Division." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Pang Yukun said.

He never likes to talk too much about what he doesn't know.

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

To his surprise, Xiao Wenxuan handled it very 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 forced to do something, and this time he will thank the barbarian messenger for humiliating this cheap father.

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

Now the matter of artillery and gunpowder can only be counted on Chen Qi and Lu Tong to produce it with all their might, and it is useless for him to worry about it.

But not only the fields of the people will reap wheat, but also their official estates.

He had promised Lu Fei that the harvest of these official villages would be from the Qingzhou Army, and it was time for him to fulfill his promise.

On the bank of the Xiaoqing River, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun stopped and looked, opposite was the official field of the Qingzhou Army, at this time, the golden wheat was endless, and a gust of wind blew, rolling up layers of wheat waves.

Looking at the crops in this field, Xiao Ming was even happier than seeing the first cannon cast successfully.

The people take food as the sky, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and with food, the people will settle down, and the soldiers of the army will fight with peace of mind.

Because the harvest was about to be harvested, Lu Fei specially arranged for soldiers of the Qingzhou Army to patrol the official field to prevent people from stealing wheat.

Most of the people are self-sufficient, but there will always be some lazy people who don't work hard.

Three days ago, a corner of this official village was secretly cut at night, and a small piece of wheat was secretly cut, which made Lu Feiqi thunderous.

In his heart, this official village is more important than his life, because he and the soldiers lead the oxen to plow, take the hoe to weed, and watch the maturity day by day.

He immediately sent soldiers to guard day and night, and personally went to the government office to demand that the arrest be arrested and the matter strictly investigated.

The government knew the seriousness of this matter, and within two days, he caught the person who stole the wheat, and Lu Fei went and beat him.

But in spite of this, this happened all the time in the people's field.

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

Xiao Ming is building a large workshop area outside the city, and at present, Huili's main thing is businessmen, and the people have not received much benefit.

After all, this workshop area is only a very small business area, and it can't drive the entire Qingzhou City, let alone the other five states.

"Yes, the tax reduction and exemption for three years, the government will not take a cent of this harvest, and the people should be able to have surplus grain in their homes." Xiao Ming was also smiling.

As soon as the people had surplus food in their hands, they would sell some of it for money.

The family will only spend when they have surplus money, so that the economy of the six states will slowly revitalize.

"It's just that I still have to work hard to do business and enrich the treasury." Pang Yukun sighed.

Everything Xiao Ming did during this period of time was seen by him, and the vassal king who could think so much about the people, I am afraid that the Great Yu Kingdom would not be able to find a second one.

The longer he spent with Xiao Ming, the more he felt that Xiao Ming seemed to have a thought that even he couldn't understand, and he didn't know where this strange thought came from.

"I don't want to die here."

Xiao Ming sighed in his heart, he didn't want to enjoy the fun of being a vassal king and live a luxurious life.

It's just that like farming, if you want to harvest food, you always have to work hard before you can harvest food, which is why he farms and engages in industry.

After all, when he came to such a place, he had nothing but technological advantages, and he didn't have a vassal king's family like other princes.

And he is not good at intrigues, after all, he grew up in modern times, and the education he received since he was a child is that the world is full of love.

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

As the two were talking, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and after a while, Niu Ben came to see them.

Lu Fei and Luo Xin followed behind him, and the three of them looked relaxed.

"Your Highness, what a coincidence, you are also here." Niu Ben laughed and got off his horse.

Lu Fei said directly: "The governor has to see the Qingzhou Army's own manor, so the last general brought him over." ”

"Pang Changshi and I are also talking about this manor, you Qingzhou Army can't be careless about this wheat harvest, and hurry up to harvest it when the time comes, lest it rain and let the wheat rot in the ground." Xiao Ming said.

"Yes, Your Highness, the Governor has come this time precisely for this wheat harvest." Lu Fei said.

At this time, Niu Ben said: "Your Highness can take out his own land and give it to the Qingzhou Army, which is really something that very people can do, the old man admires, admires!" ”

"The old general has been awarded, this is also a helpless move, Qingzhou is embarrassed, this is also so that the Qingzhou army will not lack food and clothing, and the farmers are idle to train and farm, but it will not delay the training of the Qingzhou army."

Niu Ben nodded, he could understand Xiao Ming's thoughts, this ancient and modern exchange of border troops in Tuntian is normal.

The group said as they crossed the stone bridge and walked towards the wheat field.

When he arrived in the field, Niu Ben skillfully pinched an ear of wheat and rubbed it, took the wheat in his mouth and bit it, and said: "Well, the wheat is still a little damp, and it can be harvested after two more days, and it should be enough to draw out a thousand people at that time." ”

Xiao Ming's field is 100 hectares, that is, 10,000 acres of land, and the Great Chongqing Kingdom can basically collect about three stones of grain per mu of land.

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

After all, there are only 20,000 people in the Qingzhou Army now, and these 300,000 grains are enough for 20,000 people to eat for more than a year.

Moreover, another harvest can be made this year, and there is still arable land cultivated by the army in other places, so that the army's food problem will be solved.
