Chapter 248 Windmills can be seen everywhere
When Su Yan heard Qu Mao's persistent inquiry about the windmill, she smiled and said: "Sir, the windmill is of great help to residents in quickly converting food crops into edible food, so everyone is willing to pay attention to the construction of windmills.
The motivation is very high.
In the Liusu Principality, the first batch of 3,000 windmills has been completed, and 12,000 more are under construction. The subordinates plan to build more than 50,000 windmills in the Liusu Principality. The final number of windmills in the Liusu Principality will be total
There will be more than 200,000 seats.
Currently, the city lords of the cities in the Liusu Principality are notifying the mayors of the towns and villages to apply for the construction of windmills. It is expected that the construction of 60,000 windmills will be completed by the end of March in the fifth year of Tianxuan.
Sir, you have been traveling all the way from Luoshan Kingdom, haven't you seen windmills and mills everywhere in Liusu Principality?"
Qu Mao thought about it carefully and said: "Su Yan, although I was hurrying on the way from Luanshanhou King's City to Liusu Duke's King's City, I still have some vague impressions. It seems that at the top of the mountain and at the mouth of the canyon,
You can see the windmill and mill, which shows that you have really spent a lot of energy on the planning and construction of this area.
Of course, I think the final number of windmills to be built in Liusu Principality will depend on the number of residents."
Su Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, I don't know exactly how many windmills will be built in Liusu Principality.
After all, the Liusu Principality is a large principality with a population of nearly 300 million. There are about 150 households for a population of 1,000. According to the assumption that there is one windmill for 150 households, 300,000 windmills will be built. Taking into account the urban population and terrain factors, the final number will be 200,000.
The windmill should be built.
Of course, my subordinates will also consider the gold coins and resources in the territory account..."
Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "Su Yan, you need to consider many issues, but you don't need to think too much about gold coins and resources.
As long as there is a need for windmills and mills in the Liusu Principality, then you can build them as much as you can. If the resources and gold coins in the territory account are not enough, you can just follow me.
To me, the windmill is very important. Without solving the basic food problem, simply considering industrial and technological innovation is completely rootless tree and water without any possibility of success."
Su Yan nodded and said: "Yes, sir, I understand. Sir, you have come all the way, so you should rest early."
On the night of August 21st, the fifth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao stayed in the palace of Duke Liusu. In fact, Qu Mao did not take much rest, but stayed up all night with Su Yan to discuss the future development of Yi Hou's territory.
Su Yan only saw the information about the development of gunpowder in Pengda Principality and the comprehensive strength information of Pengda Principality from Xinping's report and did not personally participate in the discussion.
So after the meeting, Qu Mao's gunpowder information and Pengda Principality's information were repeatedly conveyed to Su Yan, hoping that Su Yan would realize the importance of gunpowder. Pengda Principality was researching gunpowder technology and formed a very strong oppression on Qu Mao.
feel.
No matter how powerful an army in the Cold Weapon Age is and how many people there are, it is almost impossible to fight against an army in the Hot Weapon Age.
Even if the army of thermal weapons is only in the early stage of the initial application of thermal weapons, the Yihou territory now seems to be very prosperous and has a large number of high-level warriors. However, when encountering an army armed with muskets, they can only queue up and wait to be attacked.
The fate of being shot.
Even an eighth-level master water magician like Jenny Walter has an effective attack range of no more than 200 meters, and a musket has a certain lethality even within a range of 300 meters.
Naturally, Qu Mao didn't want to have an egg against a stone happen to the high-level warriors in the Yihou territory. So after the news about gunpowder technology, Qu Mao couldn't wait to increase the cheat value so that he could recruit more troops to increase his strength.
In Mao's mind, the end of Tianxuan should not be later than five years at the latest, otherwise the gap in the development of gunpowder technology will inevitably lead to the Yihou territory never being able to keep up.
On the morning of February 22, the fifth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao ignored the exhaustion of communicating with Su Yan the night before and continued to the King's City of Jirhou with 300 fifth-level palace guards who had been replaced from Duke Liusu's royal guard.
On the afternoon of February 23rd, the fifth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao from Wucheng came directly to King Gilhou City. On the way to King Gilhou City, Qu Mao deliberately observed along the way and found that there were a large number of windmills turning in the Liusu Principality.
It has reached a certain scale in terms of quantity.
The Kingdom of Gil also has a large number of windmills, but the number is completely inferior to that in the Principality of Tassel.
When he met Marquis Yan Songlin in the King's City of Gilhou, Qu Mao was still very polite to Su Yan's uncle, and the two of them exchanged greetings all the way to the palace of King Gilhou.
After entering the palace, Qu Mao found a separate room, leaving only Marquis Yan Songlin, and asked: "Marquis Yan, what is the current status of the construction of the windmill mill in the Marquis of Gil?"
Marquis Yan Songlin raised his hands and saluted: "My lord, after receiving the order from Her Majesty Queen Su Yan two weeks ago, my subordinates immediately started the construction of the windmill mill in the Marquis of Gil.
Within two weeks, 3,000 windmills have been successfully constructed in the Girhou Kingdom, another 5,000 windmills are under construction, and a further 3,000 windmills are being selected for construction."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "The mission of the Gil Hou Kingdom has been completed very well, but the construction speed still needs to be accelerated.
Su Yan plans to build no less than 200,000 windmills in Liusu Principality, and Marquis Zhang Zhiyong also desperately asked me to increase the planned number of windmills in Luanshan Marquis State..."
Marquis Yan Songlin smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, the Marquis of Gil only has one-sixth of the territory of Liusu Principality, and nearly one-tenth of the territory is designated as the exclusive territory of Wucheng and Wucheng Port.
In addition, the western border of the Jir Kingdom borders the Jili Kingdom, and it is still accepting refugees from the Jili Kingdom. It is inevitable that my subordinates will find it difficult to concentrate their energy..."
Qu Mao interrupted Marquis Yan Songlin and said: "Marquis Yan Songlin, the construction of the windmill must be accelerated. This is an infrastructure that is beneficial to the residents of the Gil Marquis and can improve the residents' sense of home and peace of mind.
If the Gil Marquis is in trouble, as Su Yan's uncle, you can directly make a request to Su Yan, and the reward for building a windmill in the Gil Marquis can be doubled, and I agree."
Marquis Yan Songlin waved his hands hurriedly and said: "Sir, I am determined to complete the mission to the death! I am definitely not asking you for extra rewards."
Qu Mao smiled and said: "I know, but when I said that the Gil Marquis will receive double rewards, I was definitely not just saying it casually.
I will rest in the King's City of Jirhou tonight, and tomorrow morning I will lead my troops to the western border of Jirhou Kingdom and enter the territory of Jilihou Kingdom."
