On the streets of Tokyo, there are particularly many soldiers wearing uniforms these days.
Almost all family members of the Forbidden Army lived in Tokyo City and Chengxiang (the basic administrative area near the city, the city was the suburbs of the city and the countryside was the countryside), and their main income was military salaries. Because the residence is not far away, if you want to gather into the army, as long as the military order is confirmed above, you can gather in three days.
This time, the time limit is fifteen days because the guards have to gather. For such a long time, some people came first and wandered around the city.
The above organizational reforms were beyond recognition, but the soldiers and soldiers at the bottom hardly felt any difference. The military order still comes from the commander, and the military pay is issued by the Ministry of War, but the amount has not changed; the relocation allowance paid before the expedition is also the same.
There are also some differences. I was equipped with firearms and trained a few months ago. It is very simple. It feels troublesome to use at first, but it is actually much simpler than archery. Everyone is also willing to learn. The job of professional soldiers is to fight. They can use all kinds of weapons like craftsmen's craftsmanship. They are not afraid to learn well, but they are afraid that the master will keep one hand.
In addition, new winter clothes have been issued for uniforms.
Yao Er and a gang of soldiers were happily changing into new clothes. Someone yelled: "This is still embroidered with words, what's written on it?"
Ten will be literate, and I also looked at it and said: "Shen Chen Li Weaving..."
Yao Er suddenly praised: "Hey, there are always good quotients in the sky. It is strange that the merchants make clothes for us."
At this moment, everyone walked into the barracks and hummed: "You know what a fart!"
Everyone stood up hurriedly, clasped their fists and bowed: "Waiting to see the head of the king."
Wang Du waved his head and said, "Do you think it was given for nothing? The Mrs. Chen of the Shen Chen Li Chamber of Commerce received great favors from the officials. The salt production and sale rights in the whole area of Shu, they Half of it! You know how fat the salt merchants are.
In the final analysis, our warm clothes and food are not all given by the officials, or how are we called the Forbidden Army? "
Everyone suddenly realized that they all talked about it. Someone said: "The businessmen gave us some clothes and got such a great benefit, we should send some more money to the army!"
At this time, most of the salt and iron in the Central Plains Dynasty were monopolized by the government, which was very expensive. Sometimes, there was salt in the military rewards! The world has long been accustomed to the expensive salt, which is an important source of imperial finances.
Wang Dutou said: "I heard that the merchants of Shen, Chen and Li were given the right to transport salt in the Shu land, and they also paid a lot of money to the treasury every year. However, there are salt merchants who are willing to pay taxes on salt transport everywhere!" /
"No matter what, these people from the Shen Chen Li Chamber of Commerce make clothes really kind. Tsk tsk, the shoulder scarf is made of silk." Someone murmured.
This sentence made the soldiers agree very much, and everyone was full of praise. The previous uniforms came from different sources. Most of them were hand-stitched by small households. The needlework of the ordinary women was good or bad, and it could only be used to protect the body from the cold. But now the new clothes are made by a special weaving workshop with very fine cutting stitches.
The outside is thick, hard-wearing linen, and some parts are made of leather! For example, the shoulders, arms, wrists and collars are combined with a lot of leather, which is the joint part of the armor. Using leather instead of cloth pads can reduce the rubbing of the iron armor and make it a lot more comfortable.
The middle layer is a kapok-filled jacket, which is used for keeping warm, and the lining is flax, which is soft and breathable.
After everyone changed, they no longer want to wear the old uncomfortable uniform. The new uniforms looked good, everyone looked at each other and praised: "Not bad! Not bad!"
The emperor Guo Shao was born as a soldier of the Forbidden Army. Whether the upper general was cut off from the army, everyone does not care, anyway, the benefits of the lower-level soldiers are increasing, with good clothes and good food, and all kinds of favors make everyone feel that the emperor has not forgotten them... After all, at this time, many people still eat. Not full.
...At this time, the dynasty was ushered in. This was the last main hall dynasty before Guo Shao personally conquered Pingxia. Hundreds of people from Tokyo's civil and military courts celebrated in the main hall. Outside the Jinxiang Hall, there were thousands of people saluting to the towering hall on the open ground. They were the entourage of the ministers who entered the imperial city, as well as some small officials, not even the emperor.
The eunuchs in the temple, the civil officials on the outside platform, and at the same time publicly read the edict of the Emperor Xu.
The general meaning is that the Central Plains was gracious to the Dangxiang people, and the Tang Dynasty court assigned Xiazhou and other rich and spacious areas to the Dangxiang people to live and cultivate. However, the leaders of the various ministries of the party are ungrateful, do not respect the emperor's power, collude with the enemy country, and betray the imperial court, which is increasingly becoming a border trouble, so they must raise their troops to inquire.
"...Emperor Da Xu is the son of heaven. He is commanded by heaven to be the master of man, and he controls the people in all directions in the universe. Those who do not respect the principles of heaven and morality are unrighteous, and the king will attack them and walk the way for heaven..."
The civil servant holding the edict in both hands on the base of the platform stands tall, and his voice is slow and loud, as if echoing among the magnificent palaces on all sides. The imposing tone is unquestionable, the heaven grants the monarch power, every sentence kidnap the will of heaven, since the imperial power is the destiny, then the emperor's will is the most basic axiom. The emperor said that Xiazhou is unjust, it must be unjust!
A large group of people outside knelt down and shouted: "God bless my emperor, longevity!"
Following the second edict, during the emperor’s expedition, the Emperor Dafu was appointed the regent of the emperor, and the power of the domestic military and political power.
After reading the edict in the hall, the **** Wang Zhong stepped forward and sang: "If something is going on, let's go back to the court."
At this time, Zan Jujun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, a good thing!"
Everyone looked at him, but it was not surprising. There are many ceremonies and grand-sounding ceremonies in the Great Dynasty, and generally no one plays things, and playing things is a good thing. When everyone heard the great kindness, they knew everything well, and they were curious to see what a good thing was.
See Zan Jurun holding a bowl of wheat a few steps forward, holding it on top of his head with both hands.
The **** Wang Zhong glanced at Guo Shao, and when he saw Guo Shao nodding slightly, he walked over and put the bowl on the royal case. Guo Shao looked at it for a while, and was stunned that he didn't see any strangeness in this wheat. If it was as big as a finger, it could be considered auspicious, but the grain in front of him was ordinary wheat.
The courtiers also whispered. Zan Jurun said: "Your Majesty, these wheat grains are not carefully selected, they are just scooped from the granary, and see if it is fuller than ordinary wheat grains?"
Guo Shaojing said so, and then he nodded slightly and said: "It's exactly what Zan Shilang said."
Zan Jurun worshipped: "The minister has discovered a way to double the grain harvest!"
At this time, the ministers were in an uproar. The officials in charge of agriculture such as the Qintian Supervisory Department were the most surprised and asked. This is not a joke. In order for the military and civilians to feed themselves, farming has always been one of the most important things in all dynasties. The farming technology in the Central Plains has been doing its best and is very advanced. It stipulates that the calendar is used to change crops between ridges and ridges. There are also simple wood machinery such as a wooden planter, wind and dust. At this time, the improvement of agricultural technology is very slow.
Zan Juyun looked back around, with a somewhat excited expression, because everyone knew that this would be a great achievement, and he could even leave a name in the history!
When this war was the top priority, he couldn't wait to report it, and he felt very excited. He immediately paid his respects: "A while ago, the Pingxia transfer agent Li Gong prepared for gunpowder, and the minister and the leader of the military equipment supervisor, went to the gunpowder workshop in the suburbs of Tokyo to inspect the affairs of the dung pile.
At this time, the minister discovered an incident. The wheat fields around which were used for fertilization with waste materials had better harvests this year than in other places! "
Someone can't wait to ask: "Why?"
Zan Jurun said: "The benefits are ripe manure! The method of compiling nitrate is to put thatch in a large tank, mix it with manure, lime, grass, wood and ash, and then cover it with thatch; then use urine every day to irrigate and ferment before scraping. To frost. But when the weather is hot, the dung in the tank is easy to produce maggots, which is not good for the accumulation of nitrate. So the workshop craftsmen cook the dung before using it.
The surrounding farmers will go to the workshop to pick out waste materials, and they will try their best to please the workshop craftsmen, because the nitrate waste can be used to fertilize the fields. These waste materials are cooked manure that has been cooked and fermented, but they are more fertile than raw fertilizer. "
Guo Shao didn't want to understand why "cooked fertilizer" is more useful, but Zan Jurun is definitely effective in public. Although it is still necessary to send someone to actually verify whether the food can be doubled... But since it is a good thing, Guo Shao will not disappoint in public.
He just said: "I was making armaments, but I discovered the law of blessing the people. This is God's favor."
When the ministers heard this, they hurriedly agreed, "God bless my emperor..."
Guo Shao immediately praised Zan Jurun, but did not immediately reward him. After all, Guo Shao's concept is different from that of ordinary emperors. People who have been educated in the way of thinking in the previous life will not blindly believe in anyone or anything. He has to investigate clearly before making judgments.
However, Guo Shao takes this matter very seriously.
The Central Plains dynasty was a farming country. It has already developed farming to a certain level, and it is difficult to increase production... Modern agricultural output is very high, nothing more than three sharp weapons, pesticides and fertilizer seeds. Among them, fertilizer is a very important part. Chemical fertilizer is impossible to manufacture at this time. Basic synthetic ammonia needs modern industry; if it can be improved in manure, productivity can be raised to a higher level!
As soon as the expedition was approaching, Guo Shao couldn't personally intervene in this matter. After he retired, he picked up a pen in the study room of the East Hall, left a letter to Fu Jinzhan, and asked her to ask about it.
If the role of cooked dung is to be observed, the Gunpowder Department of the Military Weapon Supervisor will change the organizational system and spread the nitrate pile workshops to various cities in the Central Plains to form an organization. The manure and sewage in the cities and towns are used to pile nitrate while providing fertilizer for the cultivated land around the cities.
When Guo Shao finished writing the letter, he asked the **** to put it in the study room of the West Hall. When Jinzhan came forward to govern, she would pay attention to Guo Shao's autograph.
With the pen in his hand, he scribbled and drew on the paper without putting it away, stupefied that he could not understand the principle of cooked shit. At the time, he studied computer, and for the general theoretical knowledge of physics and chemistry, after all, he still lacked a little. Most of the common sense, he could not use the theories of the year to make inferences...or can only use the methods of the ancients, unable to get to the bottom of the question, so he had to continue to verify Lessons Learned.
