This time Yang Gan didn't ride a horse. Instead, he spread his legs and ran towards the foundry with all his strength.
It was Cao Wushuang who said that his breath was not stable, which frightened Yang Gan and thought he wouldn't live long.
After fussing for a long time, I realized that what she meant was that her cardiopulmonary ability was very strong, but it did not match her own strength and physique. ..
By the way, not only in his previous life but also in this life, Yang Qian was very repulsive to aerobic exercise such as running.
Yang Qian would not say a word no matter how tired he was when it came to strengthening his muscles and bones, exercising stone locks, etc., but if he wanted to run, he might not be so patient.
But Cao Wushuang just said that if anything happens on the battlefield in the future, if you can't fight, you can still run.
Yang Qian immediately became energetic. Sometimes the mount may not be around. Although the rhinoceros is very strong, what if the rhinoceros also dies?
Not only can I rely on my two feet, but if there is a river or woods nearby, I might be able to run away.
It seems that in addition to running, Yang Qian has added another thing to train, swimming.
Although Yang Gan is from the south, he can't swim at all. He can only play in the water and splash a few times. He is good at this.
Get a few young ladies together, grab a water gun, and feed them everywhere, not to mention how exciting it is.
In order to become the hexagonal warrior in his heart, Yang Qian has been running almost every morning in the past few days. It has to be said that his calves have swelled terribly these days.
When he arrived at the foundry, Yang Gan found that the factory buildings and equipment had been slightly updated in a place he hadn't been to for a long time. He felt relieved again when he recalled some of the documents he had signed.
These craftsmen are really powerful. Once they are allowed to open their minds and stop thinking, all their enthusiasm will be poured into their own industry, which will bring about unparalleled improvement.
You may not be able to see anything now, but when a technology is accumulated to almost the same level, the power of the explosion can even increase the total for several centuries.
"Lao Xia, Lao Xia, where are you~~~!"
Yang Gan stood at the door of the office and shouted loudly. After a while, an old man walked out of the office.
He was full of energy and his face was rosy. It was obvious that he had had a great time during this period. Even though he was older, looking at the muscles on his body, he felt that he was in better shape than a young man.
"I've been calling you for a long time, but I thought you weren't here?"
Ou Yexia laughed and said, "Sorry, sir, I was working on a gadget and didn't pay attention."
Yang Gan frowned and said, "What little gadget? Have you finished what I asked you to make? A letter from Wanghai County said that the warship has been built. If your things haven't been made yet, it will be in vain for me to go now."
Yang Gan couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart. The arrangements had been good, but he didn't expect that the county council would actually rebel.
It has been delayed until now. You know, the food and grass have not been prepared yet, but so far, the food and grass that has caused people a headache may be the easiest project for Yang Qian.
The granary in the county, the grain in his own village, the grain from taxation, and the military field in Baiyunguan.
Even if this grain is harvested for one season, its size can frighten the average county guard to death.
There are also a lot of alfalfa and other pasture crops. The yield of these crops is amazing, almost crop after crop.
Large-scale breeding farms have been built in many places, and a dozen tenant farmers can manage hundreds or even thousands of pigs.
As long as these pigs are put out for slaughter, except for the share given to the county, all others will be made into cans one by one.
Yang Gan snorted coldly and said displeasedly, "Bad thing? I also want to know, bring it to me."
Ou Yexia shoulders the heavy responsibility of manufacturing war machines. He usually plays with things and doesn't say anything.
But you also need to be able to read your eyes, so you don't feel like you're dying of anxiety. This old boy knows all about your follow-up plans, yet he's still playing with things like this.
Ou Yexia immediately took out a small object from the office and handed it to Yang Qian.
Yang Qian picked it up and looked at it, and was immediately stunned, "Scale?"
No, no, there were no scales of this style in this era. The scale in front of me was
It’s the same as the scales used in traditional Chinese medicine when I was a kid.
No, it’s still wrong, this, this is not a scale, this is a dng! ! !
Yang Gan looked at Ou Yexia with a ghostly expression on his face, "Did you invent this?"
Ou Yexia shook his head and said, "Of course not. Recently, some tenant farmers who like craftsmen often invent some things, but most of them are useless."
"I went to Zhuangzi a few days ago to drink some wine and eat some braised pork. I didn't expect to see this thing in a pharmacy."
With Zhuangzi's discovery, many shops came into being. After the tenant farmers' pockets became richer, they would also want to buy something.
If you don't have a carriage or horse, the journey to the county town is not short, so many people buy what they need in Zhuangzi.
Yang Gan was responsible for building shops and collecting rents. Of course, he would organize a fleet of bulk commodities such as grain and send them collectively to the county town for unified sale.
"pharmacy?"
Yang Qian suddenly realized that there was a doctor sitting in the pharmacy, and some apprentices were following him.
Although there is only one word difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine, their teaching philosophies are completely different.
In my previous life, many people used the Western medicine system to teach Chinese medicine, which was almost hilarious.
The lid on Charles II's coffin could hardly be pressed.
Yang Qian scratched his head. He had seen some small officials weighing grain. It was a method of weighing large iron or copper ingots.
It is estimated that in the pharmacy, some prescriptions require extremely precise weighing tools to control the dosage.
Yang Gan touched his mouth, but still felt a huge wave of emotions in his heart. He recognized this thing and called it Zhuzi.
I've seen it once before. Why it's so memorable that I can't forget it? It's because of the name of this thing.
戥子 (deng.zi), if you don’t know this word, you might think it’s called Xingzi or Zhanzi. Because the name is difficult to remember, it’s hard for Yang Qian to forget it once he remembers it.
If he remembered correctly, this thing was invented in the Song Dynasty. Could it be that it was caused by his little butterfly?
In fact, what Yang Gan didn't know was that after many sharecroppers started farming, they almost had no room for food at home due to the bumper harvest.
Nowadays, many people hope that the sharecropping rent and land tax can be increased, otherwise their families will not be able to live comfortably. Unfortunately, Yang Qian has no idea of increasing the rent for the time being.
When there was an excess of grain, many tenant farmers spontaneously kept some and gave the excess to Zhuangzi, who gathered it together and sold it.
Once you have money, you can add to your family assets, such as raising a few pigs, and forget about buying land.
Private individuals in Yuntong County are not allowed to conduct land transactions, and even the Qing officials cannot conduct land transactions when they arrive here.
The land system designated by Yang Gan is quite special. For example, some tenant farmers can own some land permanently, but they cannot use it for trading. They are charged 30% of the tenant rent and land tax for the first three years.
Beginning in the fourth year, the combined rent and land tax amounted to only 10%.
Yang Qian's original intention was very simple. No matter how bad the person was, no matter how helpless he was, he would never starve to death with acres of thin fields around him.
If someone wants to usurp other people's fields, hahaha, that's what Yang Gan wants. Now he can't find an excuse to take over the land owned by landlords, squires and some nobles.
As long as the report is true, the house can be ransacked. This is Yang Qian's favorite thing to do. The person who reports the report will also be rewarded with a large amount of property.
"Is this accurate?"
Ou Yexia said, "It's very accurate, even down to a millimeter."
The corners of Yang Gan's mouth raised, and an idea flashed in his mind, and he understood what it did.
It is a precision instrument that can be specially used to weigh gold, silver, precious medicines and spices.
In this day and age, the right to mint money is in chaos, and it is said that there are a lot of counterfeit coins.
In the past life, counterfeit currency has been accompanying historical development.
However, the counterfeit money at that time was completely different from the modern counterfeit money. Ancient counterfeit money could be used, but modern counterfeit money could not.
Because modernization uses paper money, it itself has no value, but the state gives it value.
But it was different in ancient times. The currency itself was a precious metal. Even if it was fake, it was still made of copper.
This aspect is actually the result of the confusion over minting rights, as well as the failure to prevent counterfeiting and inaccurate weights and measures.
For example, a coin minted by the government weighs ten grams, while the same coin minted elsewhere weighs eight grams. Then the illegal profits can be obtained from it. Regardless of the small amount, it is difficult to say when the amount is large.
Some private workshops that mint counterfeit coins recycle official coins for smelting and then cast them separately. After smelting and recasting, 10,000 yuan will become 12,000 yuan.
For merchants, for coins of the same value, it is naturally more cost-effective to charge heavier ones.
Yang Gan is worth hundreds of thousands of gold, but not all of it is gold, but also a considerable part of precious metals.
But 99% of them are still mainly coins. Specifically, they are divided into four types in terms of shape.
Cloth coins, but not made of cloth, are shaped like shovels, also known as shovel cloth.
Knife coins are shaped like knives, some have a circle at the end and some don't.
Wan (hun or yun) money is somewhat similar to square hole money, and is also the predecessor of square hole money.
Ant nose money is transformed from imitation shellfish.
There are also some small currencies, such as grimace money, etc. Anyway, there are many kinds.
Yang Gan was also extremely bored. Every time he went to spend money, he would take out the money bag from his pocket and instinctively compare it. Even if the currency value is the same, he would give the lighter one.
"I've been busy lately. Let's see, whoever invented it, let the Sheriff's Office reward him with ten gold coins to encourage him and let him improve it. It's still a bit rough now."
"promise!"
"Then what I want is ready?"
"plz follow me!"
Ou Yexia took Yang Gan to a professional shooting range in the distance.
A bed crossbow as big as a carriage came into view. Even if Yang Qian knew such a powerful weapon, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Your Majesty, this is the three-bow bed crossbow according to your description."
Ou Yexia hurriedly came to the side of the three-bow bed crossbow with burning eyes and introduced it.
"This is the front bow, the main bow, the pulley, and the back bow."
