Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and the foundation is the foundation of the country.
Thanks to Ren Nuan and Hu Chun's vigorous propaganda, grain promotion encountered little resistance.
Early August is the time to plant corn, and the following September and October are the time to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes. If promoted at this time, the planting of these crops will not be delayed.
"Hu Chun, are we training enough technicians?"
In the yamen, Ren Pingsheng asked Hu Chun who was sitting below.
"That's enough. Twelve technicians are completely sufficient for now."
Hu Chun said.
"Then during this period, these technicians will be sent down to the front lines in the countryside, going deep into the fields to teach the people step by step how to plant, how to fertilize and topdress, how to farm, when to water, and how to prevent diseases and pests. These are all
Speak clearly, explain clearly.
Now on the official road outside, on the way to each village, there are also regiment soldiers patrolling continuously. Living corpses are basically rare, and safety can be guaranteed on the road. For those villages farther away, let Xiong Er arrange a few for the technicians.
Let’s go together with a Yamen servant.”
In troubled times, food is more important than gold and silver.
Even with Qingcheng Square as a cover, it is impossible for him to purchase food for thousands of people on earth. First, it would be very time-consuming for him to transport such a large amount of food. Secondly, this
The purchase of large amounts of grain will inevitably attract the attention of interested people.
Therefore, Ren Pingsheng was very concerned about the planting of new crops.
"Xiaowan, has the infrastructure plan for Minke been formulated?"
After Hu Chun left, Ren Pingsheng asked Xiaowan again.
Now, due to the extensive publicity of new crops, Ren Pingsheng's popularity has greatly increased and his prestige is booming. Qingcheng Town Government Office has the strongest credibility in the hearts of the people.
It is also the right time to promote corvee collection and upgrade infrastructure.
Xiaowan nodded, went to the courtyard of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and brought over a document: "It's already out. It's mainly about irrigation and water conservancy projects, and the roadbed leveling and laying of stone slabs for two important roads."
"Well, wait until the corn is planted and the people are free, and then we will send out corvees. Then we will repair these two roads first."
Ren Pingsheng looked at this document and found that there were not many roads involved. They were the two roads going to Tenglong Mountain and the direction to Qingshui County.
Roads are built, one is to quickly dispatch troops to blitz, and the other is to quickly avoid entering the mountains.
Although Tenglong Mountain was no longer used as a place for military training after Ren became the mayor of Qingcheng Town, and after the regiment training, the construction and transformation of Tenglong Mountain did not stop because of the geographical advantage of Tenglong Mountain where one man is in charge and no one can open it.
Even more craftsmen were sent up to continue to transform Tenglong Mountain, and now it has become a base camp that can accommodate more than 3,000 people for living and production.
Once the battlefield is really defeated and nothing can be done, Tenglong Mountain can be used as a retreat. After reaching the mountain, with the earth as a big backer, and relying on the Yunlong Mountains to fight guerrillas, there is also the opportunity to continue to strengthen the counterattack.
"How's it going with Ruan Tang?"
Ren Pingsheng asked again.
A rough calculation shows that Ruan Tang, the former chief engineer, has been abducted for more than two months, and he has not seen her again since then. However, Xiaowan sometimes goes to her place to chat and maintain a relationship.
A good friendship.
Now when I think of this chief engineer, what impressed Ren most in his life was not her achievements, but her gentle-looking eyes.
"Are all girls from Jiangnan so gentle?"
Ren Pingsheng thought of her eyes and her voice, and couldn't help but get distracted.
"She is busy working on her business during this time, setting up a glass workshop, which seems to be doing pretty well, and many businesses are interested in the transparent glass she produces.
However, there were also some people who planned to do evil things, but our people cleared them out."
Xiao Wan paid a lot of attention to Ruan Tang and arranged for a special person to report to her if there was any trouble there.
"The idea of the glass workshop is very good. However, her ability cannot only be focused on making money.
Now Liu Wen's smokeless gunpowder has made no progress at all. The production method is clearly in front of us, but a dozen people just can't come up with it.
There is also the bolt-action rifle. The parameters, structural diagrams, and materials are all there. The bullet making method and the broken down production steps are also very detailed, but they just can't make a rifle that can actually be put into the battlefield.
I also have to pay a visit to our Chief Engineer Ruan."
Ren Pingsheng lay back and asked softly: "Xiao Wan, according to your observation, what is Ruan Tang's character?"
"Ruan Tang has a very good personality and is very easy-going in dealing with others. He is also careful, smart, brave, optimistic, repays kindness, and a little rebellious...or rather carefree and unrestrained."
Xiaowan is not the type to talk behind people's backs, and her analysis of Ruan Tang is also objective.
He also talked about some small things in Ruan Tang’s daily life to support his analysis and judgment.
"It seems that Ruan Tang's character is pretty good, so there is no need to worry about her being stabbed in the future. And it seems that she has basically integrated into this world, and her way of thinking has also changed from the earth to this world."
After listening to this, Ren Pingsheng thought to himself.
He stood up and said: "Send someone to inform Liu Wen and ask him to bring information about gunpowder and rifles and go with me to Ruan Tang's place.
Taking such a big risk to bring her here is not to let her burn glass every day."
"good."
Xiaowan sent someone out to call for help.
Soon, a large and spacious carriage was ready at the entrance of the back alley of the Yamen.
When Ren Pingsheng arrived, Liu Wen had also arrived and was waiting in front of the carriage. When he saw Ren Pingsheng, he quickly bent down and saluted.
"Stop being polite, let's go, get in the car, let's go visit an expert."
Ren Pingsheng asked Liu Wen to get in the car together.
Xiaowan finally got into the car and sat down next to Ren Pingsheng.
There was a copper basin placed on top of the carriage, and clean ice cubes were placed in the copper basin to lower the temperature in the carriage.
Xiaowan took a watermelon from under the table and tapped it a few times with her hands. The cut watermelon immediately became cold and delicious.
Looking at the layer of ice crystals on the surface of the watermelon, Liu Wen was extremely envious of Xiaowan's abilities.
"My boss, I wonder who the master we are visiting is? Is he in Qingcheng Town?"
Liu Wen is still confused. Where are there experts in Qingcheng Town that he doesn't know about?
Because of the Zaozuo Bureau, he visited almost all the capable carpenters, blacksmiths, and students in Qingcheng Town, and invited most of them into the Zaozuo Bureau. At least in Qingcheng Town, it can be said that all the heroes in the world have fallen into the urn.
