Siheyuan: I decide the fate of the world with my medical skills

Chapter 258: Xiao Mai Niang Wants to Fight for the Position

Use flour and water to make the dough, add a few firewood under the stove, and you can satisfy the whole family in ten minutes.

This method saves time and fuel more than directly cooking noodles or steaming millet! This is a great blessing for the civilians living in distress!

Fusu also planned to adopt the intercropping technology of later generations after widely promoting winter wheat - planting soybeans after winter wheat harvest. This not only achieved the growth cycle of two seasons a year for real crops, but also increased the effect of wheat and soybean rotation. The most important thing is that soybeans can fertilize the land and obtain rich edible oil resources, and the soybean meal after oil extraction can be used as feed. This is not only killing two birds with one stone.

In less than a moment, the steamed buns and flatbreads were out of the oven. The first iron shovel pot in the history of the Qin State was taken out from the dark, and chicken oil was added to the pot to cook the first spicy and sour green bean shreds in the Qin State.

When Tian Ji's index finger was itching to move and Fusu's eyes were full of anticipation, everyone came to the Pepper and Coriander Hall in the Blue Pool Palace.

Fusu picked up a steamed bun, put the lamb shank that had been stewed for two hours on it, and then put in a handful of crispy green bean sprouts and a few scallion strips.

Thank you for the results given by Lazy Sheep, I will keep it in mind! Looking at the delicious mutton in the center of the cake, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva and then took a big bite.

The rich and fragrant naan sandwich releases an intoxicating aroma.

The mung bean sprouts with perfectly controlled crispness make a crunchy sound in the mouth and have just the right texture.

The crispy and smooth, not too dry or dense local sheep of Shangyou County is as soft, glutinous and juicy as a beautiful woman, which is extremely intoxicating.

Fusu finished a pancake in a few moves and looked at the three people's faces who were also immersed in enjoyment - Tian, ​​Zhao, and Qi. He couldn't help but sigh slightly, marveling at their obsession with this delicacy.

Due to royal regulations and the traditional system of dining together, even Zhao Ji, who was close to him, could not dine with him and had to eat at a distance of ten steps.

I thought that not being in Xianyang would relieve some of the pressure of rules and regulations, but I never thought that Prince Fusu would turn this pressure into enthusiasm for eating and continue to enjoy the delicacies in front of him.

At the Lantian base camp three days later.

After General Yang Xiong's order was issued, the soldiers lined up the night before and washed their bodies in the icy water of Ba Shui. In the morning, they put on their cleanest and straightest clothes and formed formations at key intersections leading to the Lantian area.

The reason was not only that Fusu was going to inspect the Lantian Industrial Zone, but also to welcome the arrival of senior court officials such as the Right Prime Minister, the Left Prime Minister, the Sima, the Taiwei, and the Shaofu.

As the sun sets, the road in the distance is filled with flags and flagpoles. The road clearing work for the emperor's journey is pioneered by two thousand armored warriors led by Emperor Zichang.

Next came the core team of 5,000 soldiers from the military headquarters, armed with long-handled javelins and powerful crossbows.

On both sides of the core team were the carriages representing the Left Prime Minister, the Right Prime Minister and other high-ranking officials, as well as their escort teams - nearly a hundred shield soldiers and flag bearers escorting them.

Fusu rode on a black horse, wearing a black windbreaker with gold lines and gorgeous decorations, and a dark silk undershirt and red skirt and pants underneath.

Although the weather is a bit hot, he must maintain his demeanor!

On the side, Meng Tian was riding a much shorter grassland horse, and was having a chatty conversation with the prince all the way.

In short, he believed that Your Majesty's action was very risky and thought it would be safer for the Emperor to ride in a reinforced bulletproof carriage in case an assassin like Zhang Liang appeared.

Fusu ignored these words and kicked the warhorse lightly with his foot, and Wuzhui started to walk quickly.

"Your Majesty's carriage is less than ten miles away from us."

"Your Majesty's carriage is less than five miles away from our location."

Post horses shuttled quickly between the Lantian base camp and the prince's convoy to deliver news.

Looking into the distance, when the soldier on duty on the arrow tower saw the emperor's twelve-tasseled flag with patterns of dragons, sun, moon and stars fluttering in the wind, he thought of what General Yang Xiong had told him before.

The area where the flag is located is where the emperor is.

So he blew the cow bone horn at hand with all his might.

The nasal cavity tightened, followed by two "ooooh" sounds.

The nasal sound turned into a continuous horn sound that spread to both sides.

In an instant, two thousand armored cavalrymen galloped in and quickly occupied every vital line of defense.

Taiwei Qiang Wei personally led the main senior cadres of the Lantian base camp and walked out of the camp quickly, taking their positions on the left and waiting.

At this time, the prince rode his horse to the gate of the camp. He jumped on his horse and stretched out his hand to steady General Qiang Wei who was about to kneel down.

"No need to be so polite, old general!"

"Etiquette cannot be abolished!" Qiang Wei expressed his opinion firmly.

Fusu was stunned at first, then he took off his cloak and straightened his clothes.

After the large-scale protocol activities were over, Fusu stepped forward and helped Qiang Wei up. He thought to himself, fortunately there are so many people here, and this is Qin's land. If I were that old, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to raise my hand to help him up. After a while, the convoys of other ministers arrived at the gate of the camp one after another.

Fusu led them through the military camp and towards the Lantian Industrial Zone.

On the way, Fusu was very satisfied with the cleanliness of the camp, so he specially brought General Yang Xiong with him to praise his industrial achievements.

Weiwei Yang Duanhe and Zhongchefuling Yang Xi, who were accompanying him, also felt honored by this and raised their heads confidently.

When everyone arrived at the industrial zone, an official wearing a black official uniform, with a yellowish complexion and three short wisps of mustache, hurried forward and saluted, saying, "I, the Iron Officer Sima Chang, greet your majesty!"

The Iron Chief was an official in charge of mining and iron smelting in the Hamgyong area.

Sima Chang, this name sounds so familiar! I remember! He is the grandfather of Sima Guang in history! After observing Sima Chang carefully, Fusu asked: "How many blast furnaces have been erected so far? How much steel can be produced every day?"

Hearing this, Sima Chang straightened up and responded: "Now seven blast furnaces have been built, and the daily output of iron exceeds 20,000 kilograms."

More than 20,000 kilograms?

As we all know, under the technical conditions at that time, even in the autumn when the sunshine time was good, the average working time per day would never exceed eight hours! However, the productivity of these seven blast furnaces was surprisingly much higher?

This means how much exploitation and high pressure the workers are forced to endure!

Fusu frowned slightly, but then realized that one catty is equivalent to half a catty in modern times. After conversion, the output at this time is only more than 15,000 catties!

Nodding, Sima Chang, who was leading the group, guided him to explore deeper into the industrial area.

"Your Majesty, please take a look. It is expected that these seven blast furnaces will be put into operation within ten days." Sima Chang pointed to several blast furnaces that were being built on the banks of the Bashui River.

Then he pointed to the workers digging channels and compacting the ground and explained: "By the end of next month, twenty blast furnaces will be built there.

"At least fifty blast furnaces can be built in the industrial area before the winter snow covers the ground."

"Judging from the current situation, the furnace can be started up twice a day for iron-smelting operations. A single furnace can smelt up to a thousand kilograms of iron, and the total amount of each batch of products is five thousand kilograms! Fifty blast furnaces will have a total output of two hundred thousand kilograms!" After hearing this introduction, Feng Quji, Meng Tian and others who were accompanying him showed expressions of disbelief on their faces, and Fusu couldn't help smiling.

Whether it was building one hundred blast furnaces or achieving an annual output target of 50 tons, in later generations, Tangshan City's daily steel output reached tons before the ban was introduced, which was extraordinary!

What a gap! Fusu sighed deeply. As a time traveler, he knew that the amount of iron ore produced was an important indicator of whether a country was strong. Iron was not only suitable for making high-quality weapons, but also had a deeper meaning in that ironware was deeply rooted in people's daily lives.

Deep in his heart, he had a dream: to travel around Southeast Asia on a steam-powered train in the limited time left in his life.

Fusu stared at Sima Chang standing beside him and said, "The expansion project is so huge, are there enough craftsmen and manpower?"

Sima Chang saluted with both hands and said respectfully: "Reporting to my king, it is more than enough."

"According to the law, the Equal Work Law states that a master must devote all his efforts to teaching so that the apprentice can gain experience within one year, or zero experience within two years, and master the craft. If the apprentice learns ahead of time, he can apply for a reward."

However, the opposite also means corresponding punishment.

Most of the people working in the existing industrial park are fresh blood who moved from the Lishan construction site and the Afang Palace construction site. Many of them already have relevant experience in ironworking. These laborers with practical experience are also called "Li".

Therefore, Sima Chang said without hesitation that there was more than enough manpower.

Fusu added: "There is plenty of food stored in the garden, and any shortage can be transferred from the imperial granary. If there is insufficient supply, how can we continue to work hard?"

Sima Chang looked surprised. He had not expected that this monarch from a distant country would care about the food of the laborers.

He bowed his head and said politely, "Your Majesty is generous and kind, which is a great blessing for all the people in the world!"

Then he continued, "There is plenty of food in the garden. According to the instructions of your Majesty, the daily rice allowance for laborers is 1.3 dou plus 1/3 dou, with half of the sauce and a plate of rice. There is a slight distinction in the distribution for wives and daughters. Wives receive 2.3 dou, and both wives and daughters receive a plate of rice. The food treatment for laborers does reflect the different treatment of resources between laborers and wives and daughters, which also reflects the principle of fairness in the historical context, that is, the difference between the important and the unimportant."

Fusu looked at the busy "slaves" in ochre clothes. Although they were thin, their eyes were firm and their muscles were strong, which was obviously a symbol of adequate nutrition. It is worth mentioning that ochre clothes were not distributed for free, but were purchased by the person himself, which was different from the official unified supply in later societies. According to the "Golden Cloth Law", the winter clothing for adult men was 110 gold coins and the summer clothing was 50 gold coins. The minors were reduced by half, 77 gold coins in winter and 40 gold coins in summer. The laws of the Qin Dynasty were extremely harsh, which was regrettable.
