Hu Yan responded to the sky with Zhang Shuning and others. Compared with others, Hu Yan concentrated on academics. He carefully studied Zhu Di's political achievements in Peking and came to the conclusion that Zhu Di's governance was the best in the world.
Even excluding Zhang Ximeng's contribution to the layout and Chu Qi's management efforts, Zhu Di's achievements are still the absolute number one.
This first place far surpasses other vassal kings and all provinces in the Central Plains.
However, Zhu Di's contribution cannot be described as simple national security and people's happiness, and prosperity of all industries.
It must be measured with a new standard. Hu Yan has been busy for so long just to find this appropriate standard. Today, Hu Yan feels that he can answer it.
He had just entered the capital. He was a young man, full of talent and learning, but he could not conceal his literary talent. It was no wonder that Princess Ningguo fell in love with Hu Yan at first sight.
With this magnanimity, he is much better than those playboys.
After Hu Yan came to Beijing, he was also arranged to stay at Zhang Ximeng's residence. Zhang Ximeng also met Hu Yan in advance and talked with him a lot. Hu Yan also told the truth without any reservations and asked Zhang Ximeng for advice.
"You have thought very carefully. You have thoroughly understood and integrated into the few suggestions I have given you. It is indeed very good. Have a good rest and wait for the day before facing His Majesty for questioning in the Royal Library. 伱
But you have to be careful when dealing with it.”
Hu Yan nodded repeatedly. In fact, he had met Zhu Yuanzhang several times when he was in Peiping. He only thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was a very kind and peaceful person and had nothing to be afraid of.
Hu Yan said goodbye and went back to lie down. When he got up on the seventh day, the sun had risen and even Zhu Yuanzhang had finished washing. Hu Yan quickly washed up, had some breakfast, and followed Zhang Shuning straight to the Royal Library.
Zhu Yuanzhang was following behind him, and behind Zhu Yuanzhang's back was actually Zhu Di.
"Why is he following you? He's afraid of suffering a loss!"
Zhu Di smiled warmly, "It was because you drank too little that day that you fell into his trap! You really thought you were less powerful! Just like him, you could beat him ten times!"
As he said that, Zhu Di showed his huge fist.
Wang Taolan looked at his chubby hands. He must have passed the fight. It has nothing to do with the fight. If Zhu Di wants to bully you, he must weigh his own weight.
"You can remind him that he is far away in the horizon, and you are right behind your eyes! If we really fight, it's easy to say who will win and who will lose!"
Zhu Di suddenly laughed, "Tell me, Zhu Yuanzhang, why does he always go with you? Why do we have to fight? We can just be friends! You can tell him! The boss of this bun shop, you gave me a lot of money,
You even apologized to me. You are really a misbehaving person."
Whether Zhu Di was honest or not, Zhu Yuanzhang played a trick that day and tormented Zhu Di so much that the boss also saw what was going on. But facing a drunkard, there was nothing he could do, so he let us go.
When Zhu Di sobered up, he sent the money and apologized to the boss, which settled the matter. As a vassal king, it was a mistake to do that.
Zhu Yuanzhang blinked, that's really a problem. Why did I think of Zhu Di first when I took over Lao Zhu's golden seal, and was holding back to deal with me?
There's no reason at all, it's just instinct.
That must be Zhu Yuanzhang's mischief. It can only show that Zhu Di has indeed threatened Xiao Ming, so he is just waiting to be broken up!
"Yes, he still wants to see what happens beforehand. All in all, without you in the capital, he wouldn't be able to call the shots and do whatever he wants!"
Zhu Di was stunned for a while, and even touched his nose, "What's wrong with you? We obviously have a good time with Zhang Shuning, but Zhu Yuanzhang is so alienated from me!"
Did you lead me to play in the first place?
But the problem is that the old man was as fat as a ball and was clamoring to marry a princess, which scared your father. How could you play with him?
Zhu Di is also boring, and I don't care at all about Zhu Yuanzhang's offense.
Instead, he was bent on winning over the big guy.
In Zhu Di's view, the eldest son and Zhang Shuning are completely opposite. But Wolong and Phoenix are a perfect match. If he can get the help of the eldest son, his future career will surely prosper.
But Zhu Yuanzhang just agreed, which made people cry out!
Of course, no matter what Zhu Di thinks or what Zhu Yuanzhang thinks, we are not the protagonists in today's events. There is only one real protagonist, and this is Hu Yan!
On the royal side, Zhang Ximeng came, Ma Huangqian also came, and Zhu Biao also arrived at the same time.
What's even more surprising is that a group of people led by Princess Ningguo have also arrived. Although you are a little far away, you can still see vaguely.
When Hu Yan, dressed in commoner clothes, walked over casually, Princess Ningguo's heart was struck directly.
Look!
That's the consort you're looking at. Are they convinced?
The other princesses also know what you are thinking, and think that Hu Yan is nothing but a big scholar. Is he worthy of being such a nymphomaniac?
Princess Ningguo just hummed at the contempt of those vulgar people, but didn't care.
Your heart is hanging under Hu Yan, it depends on how I behave!
Hu Yan has failed to live up to expectations and does not have the style of a small family.
I first saluted Lao Zhu, Ma Huangqian, Wang Tao, Zhang Chengtian and others, then came to my seat and sat upright.
Zhu Biao was the first to speak, and I asked: "Recently, you have estimated the industry in Peiping and found that the value is very low... far exceeding that of other provinces, even the rich Huaidong and Zhejiang, it is difficult to compare. I know that Hu Shengyuan
Nothing to be humble about?"
Hu Yan bowed and saluted, then said: "Your Majesty, the mystery of this place can be summed up in two words...efficiency!"
"How to say it?"
Hu Yan continued: "Those two words are not your original creation. They were summarized before asking the Grand Master for advice. When you were investigating in Peking, you felt more and more that those two words were very crucial... I know that you, Xiao Ming,
How much food can a farmer grow in a year?"
Wang Tao was startled, and then said: "The situation is the same everywhere. As far as you know, after the founding of the Xiao Ming Dynasty, and even ten years after the Hongwu period, there were farmers in many places who could produce one or two thousand catties of grain a year. But recently,
Since a small number of children are born, if we calculate the food for the population and spread it under one farmer, it will only be enough to reach 400 kilograms."
Hu Yan smiled and said: "Do you know how much grain a worker in the Tuntian Company can produce?"
Zhu Biao frowned, "It's a large amount, but it would cost less than eight million shi of grain!"
Hu Yan nodded, "That's true. According to your calculations, it's less than seven thousand pounds!"
"It's possible!"
The first person to raise the question was someone else, none other than Zhang Ximeng!
Seven thousand kilograms, a rough estimate, is less than seventy stones. If placed in the Central Plains, it would require at least seventy acres of land. Based on the grain production in Beiping and Liaodong, it is estimated that it would be one hundred acres, or even less.
Zhang Ximeng is an experienced farmer, and there is an old saying in the countryside that a cow has eighty acres of land, and his wife and children live on the bed. Even if a farmer has no cattle, he only has eighty or seventy acres.
What's going on in Peiping? Lao Zhu is vague. It's so tiring that even one hundred acres is covered!
Hu Yan was in a hurry and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if a farmer wants to cultivate a hundred acres, it is indeed easy. Because the number of days suitable for sowing in farmland is unlimited, and if the farming season is missed, there is no way to sow. So farmers can't sow.
In the new year, when the farming is busy, you have to stay outside the fields, but when the farming is slack, you can do other things."
Zhang Ximeng nodded slightly, "He would like to tell you why Beiping is the same as other places?"
"To tell you Your Majesty, it's because of the climate!"
"climate?"
"Yes!" Hu Yan said with a smile: "Although there are one-season crops from Peiping to Liaodong, because the temperatures are the same, there is no difference in sowing time. In the south, sowing is early, in the north, where the temperature is high, sowing is late. And when harvesting,
Because it gets hotter in the north first, the harvest in the north will be earlier.”
Hu Yan was in a hurry, "Without the time difference, several small farming companies can allocate manpower and animal power. When farming, from south to north, when harvesting, from north to south. In this way, our
One person, just use it as two people!"
Lao Zhu was shocked and figured it out instantly.
right!
That’s the beauty of small farming!
A small piece of cultivated land belongs to one or several companies and can be easily arranged. With one order, hundreds of acres of land can all obey the arrangements of one voice.
If it were placed in the hinterland and there were large farmers all over the land, it would definitely be possible.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong. Since the farming company is small, we can choose the most suitable place to set up a warehouse. And the granary is very small. Before harvesting the grain, it is immediately sent to the granary, and before it is dried, it is returned directly to the warehouse!"
Hu Yan explained: "In western Liaoning, there is no such large land dragon... Burn firewood on top, and then put the harvested grain below. No one is responsible for stir-frying to ensure that the grain is moist enough.
The library is also unimaginable in the Central Plains."
After listening to Hu Yan's introduction, Wang Taolan became interested. Retrograde drying of grain was nothing new. In his previous life, there was no special drying tower. It was coal-fired and used to dry the moisture of grain to ensure that it was dry.
It will get moldy before storage.
The common people, naturally, do not have that condition, so they can only rely on drying.
However, the Tuntian Company can build small-scale earth dragons to dry grain.
In a place with vast land and sparsely populated areas, and there is not enough fuel, wood, and coal, everything is in short supply, so it is appropriate to play with whatever is available.
Zhang Chengtian realized that this might be an opportunity to use coal on a small scale... Once the demand for coal subsided, steam pumps would come.
It is possible to degenerate from a steam pump to a steam engine.
At this moment, Zhang Chengtian's heart was very surging.
Hu Yan continued: "The abundant food supply ensures the operation of Peking's factories, cloth, wood, furniture, farm tools... so that the output of minerals, steel, etc. has all increased. To be honest, you are still living in the coal mine.
Recently, with the help of Junior Brother Zhang, you have researched a new type of shovel, which can increase the speed eight times by matching your working methods!"
Mentioning that incident, Zhu Di immediately said: "Indeed, it was eight times! But seven times! A full seven times! That incident also made you understand that reading is really useless!"
What Zhu Di said is also the role of scientific management, it is just a big test.
Hu Yan nodded with a smile, and then said: "According to your calculations, farmers in Peiping generally produce eight times less grain, seven times less wool, four times less steel, and no less than ten times less coal than those in the Central Plains!"
You’re wrong, the new method can increase the efficiency by seven times, don’t forget there are no working hours! Even if Zhu Di can be merciful, so can the people above.
Overall, the efficiency of Peiping is far behind that of the Central Plains. That is the charm of developing industry and commerce with a small force...it can indeed produce goods several times or dozens of times!
Although Hu Yan did not brag blindly, I said honestly at the beginning: "Beiping's current achievements mainly depended on the imperial court to pacify the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which could obtain enough land with almost money, but also introduced too few low-lying labor forces.
, you have to work less than four hours a day. So your conclusion is that the wealth production efficiency of Peking is far ahead of the sky. As for the fairness of distribution, there is nothing in the sky! I hope Your Majesty will tell you clearly!"
