The remaining finishing work of the autumn harvest continued until the end of November, but was forced to terminate.
On the last day of November, it rained heavily, and the grain confiscated from the fields was directly knocked down by the heavy rain.
This doesn't mean much gain.
According to statistics from various places, the total loss of grain is almost tens of thousands of acres.
There is nothing we can do about it. Some corners and remote areas make it too difficult to harvest at once.
As a result, the harvest has not been completed for more than two months.
Of course, God still gave us face, and there was no heavy rain throughout the autumn harvest season.
The total grain reserves in Jiangzhou have reached two million dan!
The grain reserves are sufficient, and Jiangzhou alone can sustain the consumption of the entire Song Yang Group for two years.
Seeing the warehouse full of grain, Song Yangle couldn't close his mouth.
"Your Majesty, I feel completely relieved this time." Fang Zhe also had a smile on his face.
The warehouse in Jiangzhou Fucheng is completely full. Of course, it only holds 600,000 stones.
Most of the previous warehouses were damaged and were originally planned to be repaired. However, after the rainy season arrived, due to the slow progress of work, many cellars and granaries were flooded, making it impossible to repair and use them.
So in the end, the remaining grain storage facilities could only store 600,000 shi.
All the grain collected in Fucheng that could not be put away was transferred to Pengze.
Fortunately, Zhang Heng had people clean out Pengze's granary and free up space.
Otherwise, Peng Ze wouldn't be able to hold the extra grain.
After the harvest is completed, the rest is drying, storage and other matters, which are the responsibility of relevant personnel.
Song Yang just needs to know that they don't have to worry about food.
"Finally I can put some ideals into action." Song Yang said happily.
"Yes. I also want to see what a steam engine will look like."
Fang Zhe talked about steam engines because Song Yang always brainwashed him.
"I want to see the tiger crouching and cannon!"
Yu Ming mentioned the tiger squatting cannon because Song Chengwang always showed off to him.
Yu Ming was very reluctant to Song Chengwang being elected as the head coach of the first-man Tiger Camp, thinking that he was nothing but a little brat.
Song Yang smiled and told Yu Ming that there would be better cannons for him in the future.
Of course, even the Crouching Tiger Cannon is now in production, and Yu Ming's expectations for the cannon are getting higher and higher.
"Your Majesty, the coal gangue from Fengzhou has arrived."
Just after coming out of the grain depot, I met Gongsun Qi who came to report the news.
Gongsun Qi is no longer a soldier now.
After returning from Yuzhang, Song Yang asked Gongsun Qi to take charge of the defense of the dock.
This matter used to be handled by Niu Laosan.
After Niu Laosan left, Ma Cheng has been in charge.
But Ma Cheng is also extremely busy right now and has no time to care about this.
So some time ago, Ma Cheng and Song Yang asked for help.
Song Yang thought about it but couldn't find the right person.
As a result, when he turned around and saw Gongsun Qi standing behind him, he directly asked him to pick up the errand and go to work at the Water Transport Yamen.
The Water Transport Yamen is now in charge of the defense of the two wharves on the one hand, and the shipping industry on the other.
Ships from Jiangzhou to Fengzhou, Yuezhou and Ezhou have been opened.
Today is the day when the first batch of coal gangue arrives in Jiangzhou.
It has been more than a month before the first batch of coal gangue arrived, which shows how low the output of Fengzhou's coal mines is.
Fortunately, the Yuzhang Coal Mine also started supplying coal to Daye a few days ago, otherwise the small coal kiln in Fengzhou might not be able to keep up with consumption.
"Let Pangqiu pick up the goods. It's time to mass-produce cement!"
The supply of raw materials such as limestone, clay, iron slag and coal gangue used for cement production is guaranteed.
Iron slag and coal, which were originally in short supply, are now in greatest supply.
The limestone mine is far away, but it can barely keep up with the transportation of horses.
In this way, cement can be produced on a large scale.
"Yes! Produce cement on a large scale! Build cement roads in the city quickly!" Fang Zhe strongly supports cement production.
Now his home has a concrete floor, but the roads in the new city are still full of mud and sand.
This heavy rain made the road muddy again, and Fang Zhe even fell down and ate his shit.
So now he is eager to get the concrete floor out quickly.
During the autumn harvest period, the cement factory in Pangqiu has stopped working to harvest grain.
Most of the cement produced previously supported the consolidation of Jiangbei's defense system.
Only a small part has been saved.
Now that the cement factory has resumed operations, Pangqiu will also start to be busy.
On December 5th, the first batch of cement was produced.
The expanded cement plant now has one hundred employees.
The hydraulic grinding equipment directly supports ten water trucks.
Directly occupying a small stream.
In five days, the cement produced, plus some saved before, was enough to build a road.
Nowadays, there is no need to transport heavy objects, and the cement pavement only needs to be seven or eight centimeters thick.
Of course, you don’t need too much cement.
On December 7th, the paving of cement pavement on the main road in the new city began.
The construction had just begun when an inspection team from the Daqian Jiangnan Renaissance Alliance arrived.
During the Yuzhang Alliance meeting, everyone said they wanted to come and study and visit.
As a result, the harvest was delayed due to autumn harvest and weather conditions.
It had rained a few days ago and the weather cleared up, so everyone came together to have a look.
Of course we also brought some craftsmen, Fang Zhe mentioned this before.
There are not many craftsmen in each family, but at least ten or eight are gathered together.
Finally some sincerity.
"Master Fang, Jiangzhou is... building roads?"
As soon as the inspection team got off the boat, they saw many people working on the road from the dock to the city.
"Yes. The original dirt road was too muddy. The autumn harvest is over. The prince asked us to repair the road."
"Huh? This material is Sanhe soil?"
"It doesn't look like it. It feels like plant ash?"
There were two people in the inspection group who were somewhat knowledgeable. They looked at the cement being laid curiously and discussed it.
"Boy, this material is called cement. It was invented by the prince."
"Cement? New paving material?"
"I don't know what the characteristics are?"
The two envoys from Jizhou and Fuzhou both came from the yamen of the Ministry of Industry and were very curious about cement.
Fang Zhe explained the purpose of cement to the two of them, but they didn't take it seriously.
They think of cement as triple soil and don't find it anything new.
"Let's go. Enter the city. The prince is waiting for you in the office."
Bypassing the cement road construction site, we took the inspection group back to Xincheng.
The layout and construction of the city completely shocked the envoys.
"Jiangzhou is so... neat?"
Sun Yi was shocked as he looked at the neat streets and newly built adobe houses.
The streets are clean and tidy, and the adobe houses are neat and tidy.
These rows of small houses are located on both sides of the road from the south to the north, and the straight streets lead directly to the office area in the center of the new city.
This is a visual impact, and no one has ever experienced this kind of transparency.
If nothing else, this feeling of transparency makes people yearn for it.
"It would be great if Hengzhou could also cultivate like this." Kang Qiong, the special envoy of Hengzhou, said with emotion.
"Yes, yes! The layout of Jiangzhou has the style of Jiangning and Kyoto."
Everyone admired the layout and architecture of Jiangzhou New City and soon arrived at the office area.
Song Yang happened to walk out of the government office.
"Your Majesty and others are here to see you! Your Majesty is a thousand years old!"
