Yang Gan nodded with satisfaction, turned to Li S and said, "Don't forget about the dock's income. You need to pay taxes. You can't be careless about this."
Li Si nodded, obviously this was a trivial matter for an internal affairs talent like him.
After Yang Qian gradually established the entire management system, any county magistrate or county guard who takes office only needs to follow the established rules step by step, and there will be no problems.
That is tantamount to copying. Anyone who dares to disobey, the deterrence of hundreds of thousands of border troops is no joke.
Time always passes very quickly, and it’s afternoon in a blink of an eye.
Accompanied by Tang Long, Yang Gan came to the ship through the dock and stood on tiptoe. Yang Qian was very satisfied.
Unexpectedly, the wooden warship was stronger than expected.
It is a pity that Wanghai County is just a small seaside county and does not have a large ordnance reserve.
Even the heavy crossbows and weapons were brought by the guarding soldiers.
"What a pity."
Yang Gan touched the thick female wall with a look of pity on his face.
If you make a three-bow bed crossbow now, you will be able to enjoy your craft.
"Your Majesty, there is something you don't know whether to say or not?"
Yang Qian observed everywhere, "You said."
"Your Majesty, considering the size of this ship, it is feasible to place the bed crossbows front and back, but it will be too crowded."
"Although I am not an armorer, but according to the size given by your Majesty, this bed crossbow is much larger than the ordinary ones, and its power must be very amazing. The number of people in the second row is stacked up, which will give the soldiers more space to move around on the deck. It’s much smaller.”
Yang Qian touched the corner of his mouth and said silently, "You are a professional, in your opinion?"
"In my opinion, the most appropriate method is to place 35 crossbows on one side. In this way, the deck will not be crowded, and as many arrowheads as possible can be stacked next to it."
Yang Gan measured it with his feet on the deck. After a long time, he felt that it was still a little too loose.
"Will it cause insufficient arrows?"
"Your Majesty, the sea is very rough, so we have to hit it. Thirty-five such huge arrows, if shot accurately, can almost pass through a smaller warship. "
Yang Gan touched the female wall and finally murmured to himself, "The three-bow bed crossbow can be matched with far more than just feather arrows."
"Tang Long, I am very satisfied with your work here. Don't stop building battleships. Keep building them according to the army, regulations, and supplies."
"Also, those trees that can grow back after being cut down should be fertilized more."
"Those that cannot grow after being cut down, dig out the roots and arrange for someone to plant them."
Tang Long frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this kind of planting is very troublesome..."
Yang Gan stared at Tang Long with burning eyes, stretched out his finger to point at the shore, and saw that along with the endless plains, there were stretches of forests as far as the eye could see.
"Have you noticed that you can see the forest no matter where you are?"
Tang Long nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, in the history of shipbuilding, there is no such thing as planting trees, and the wood is inexhaustible, so I will..."
"Alas~~!"
A sigh interrupted Tang Long's talk.
"Tang Long, do you think you can't run out of wood?"
Tang Long nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, if I read it correctly, the east of Yuntong County is connected to the Changbai Mountains, and giant trees that are hundreds of years old can be seen everywhere."
Yang Gan shook his head and said, "That's because there are a lot of forests now, and the growth of big trees is calculated based on the year. But what if one day, the wood we consume is greater than the wood that grows?"
"This..." Tang Long hesitated, not knowing how to answer. He had never thought about this kind of question.
"Afforestation can protect the environment, control soil erosion, prevent wind and stabilize soil, and increase soil water storage capacity."
"It can also automatically adjust the temperature. In summer, the temperature under the shade of trees is lower than in the open air.
It is higher in winter. "
"It can also be used to build boats, make furniture, and even cut firewood to make fires. What if one day you find that all the century-old trees are gone?"
"And with more forests, there will be more animals. Most of the people here rely on the mountains to eat and the sea to eat. If the forests are gone, wouldn't it mean that the livelihood of the hunters will be cut off?"
"So, plant it in twice the amount. In this way, the excrement of slaves and guard soldiers, as well as cattle, sheep and horses can be fertilized to add nutrients to them."
Tang Long scratched his head and couldn't help but said, "Do you really want to do this?"
"Tang Long, man, you should look farther. On one side are the lush and endless woods, and on the other side is the desert with no human habitation for thousands of miles. What do you think you want to leave to future generations, what do you want them to see?"
"Of course it's a lush forest."
As soon as these words came out, Tang Long was stunned. At this time, Tang Long's grandfather came over and raised his hand to Yang Qian.
Tang Long also said hello, "Big Father."
Tang Daqiang said, "I happened to pass by here just now. When I heard what your Majesty said, I thought it was very good."
Yang Gan raised his eyes. It was rare for someone to agree with what he said. His knowledge far surpassed almost everyone else now.
"What did my father-in-law say?"
Tang Daqiang touched his beard and smiled and said, "In my hometown, when I learned shipbuilding from my uncle, I was only ten years old. At that time, century-old trees could be seen almost everywhere."
"With the increasing population and increasing number of ships, and wanton logging, there are no big trees in our hometown, let alone century-old trees."
Tang Long was surprised and said, "Uncle, is it our hometown? How is it possible? All the wood for shipbuilding is purchased from other places."
Tang Long's hometown is at the border with Xingguo. There are many rivers there. It is a good place for shipbuilding, but of course it also leads to indiscriminate logging.
After paying taxes to the government, I would not even think about planting. In the end, I ended up like this.
It is really sad that a famous shipbuilding place has no wood to build ships.
Tang Daqiang laughed and said, "Now that your Majesty has asked you to plant trees, just go and do it. Why, are you stupider than you?"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
After visiting the deck, Yang Gan also went inside the cabin and had a panoramic view of the entire structure of the lucky ship.
At this time, Yang Gan felt that although he knew a lot of modern people's knowledge, he still knew too little about ancient times and needed to recharge his batteries.
In modern times, many things are ready-made. For example, if you need to DIY something, you only need to buy a few accessories online and actually assemble it.
Here, haha, there is no shit. I still remember Zhang Yumeng and Ou Yexia asking for copper wire.
In three days, Ou Yexia directly gave Zhang Yumeng fifty meters of copper wire. But to her despair, the copper wire was copper wire, but it was made of bronze.
At that time, Zhang Yumeng was so angry that she almost went berserk. Many things require the use of copper wire, so what's the deal with bronze wire?
Everything has to be started from scratch, which is very troublesome, but fortunately, at least some achievements have been made in the area of motors and batteries, otherwise many things would not be possible.
With the battery and motor, Yang Qian's black technology can be developed in a hurry. It seems that when he returns to Zhuangzi in the future, he needs to discuss it with Ou Yexia.
Yang Gan felt that with this thing, there was no need for a steam engine for the time being, and that thing was very complicated, far from being as simple as what the books said.
There is only one person named Zhang Yumeng, and no matter how powerful he is, there is no way he can do it now.
When it was time to feed, Yang Gan hosted a banquet for everyone again, and also took out precious canned meat and canned fruits to entertain everyone.
The scene was in full swing, and Yang Qian's face was full of smiles, but underneath the smile was a bottomless seriousness.
I don’t know since when, Central Plains people like to talk about things at the dinner table.
Even the superiors use this method to control their subordinates.
One move, although the effect is unstable, is indeed the lowest cost and most direct way, and it can be said that it has been tried and tested.
While eating, you can also observe secretly and analyze these things from some people's habits and expressions.
Yang Qian didn't have time to observe much, but Wanghai County had a lot of secrets lurking, so it was the best choice to temporarily recruit them as a servant to observe everyone.
"Your Majesty, I offer you a toast. If it weren't for you, I would still be in a daze and wasting my time."
Cai Wen picked up a bottle of wine and saluted Yang Qian from a distance.
Yang Qian smiled and nodded, covering his face with one sleeve, and drank the whole drink in one gulp.
"Captain Cai is over-reputed. A jade cannot become a useful tool if it is not polished, and a person cannot be righteous without learning. It is not too late to realize this. I am going to recommend you to go to the Xinhuo Academy in Yuntong County to study for a while. What do you think?"
Cai Wen's face was filled with joy for a moment. As more and more masters moved into the Xinhuo Academy, the number of subjects and students also gradually increased.
And it is not limited to local students. Some students from other counties have traveled to study here.
Seeing Cai Wen's expression, Yang Qian couldn't help but touch his nose. If papermaking and printing were said to be the backbone of a powerful family, it would be broken.
So popularizing literacy and education will dig up the ancestral graves of powerful families.
However, Yang Qian still has a trump card that he has not revealed yet. It depends on when the family will come to provoke him again.
Recently, many people have scolded themselves because they are not deaf.
As the most well-informed person in this era, there is no way to record the attacks in the court for the time being.
But these people will also go to restaurants and other places. In these places, Yang Qian's secrets may exist.
Although there has not yet been a trap in the court, there are definitely more than fifty people in the entire Chaoxian, distributed in various places.
There is a place for the market, and there is also a home for nobles. It is simply impossible to guard against it.
Cai Wen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, when will I leave?"
"Well, it's better to come early than to come late. You can leave tomorrow. Why bother to stick to the time? You go first, I still have things to do here."
"promise!"
When Yang Qian said this, Cai Wen's delayed rebelliousness suddenly emerged.
There is an elder sister here, and the brother-in-law is in charge. It is finally under the command of Wu'an Army, and Li Si is still in charge of it on weekdays.
Now I went to Yuntong County alone to see who could still control me.
