There is never too much food, but if it is excessive, it must be under his own supervision, otherwise the county magistrate's office will not be prepared at all. Yang Qian would rather have the food warehouse explode than have the food dumped on the market.
The low price of grain hurts the farmers, and the high price of rice hurts the people. Too much fluctuation in grain means that if you pick up a high-speed car in the air and shake it a few times, although the car is not directly damaged, the people inside have been shaken almost seven times. It's normal for people to die from a collision.
If Yang Gan is prepared, he may be able to directly harvest a wave of crops with his strong execution ability and reserves of food and grass.
It was just the situation on the street that made Yang Qian a little unhappy. Not only was there no drainage, but there was even dry dust flying in some places. Obviously, it must be a muddy place on a rainy day.
This is not possible, Yang Qian recorded it in his notebook again, but if he wants to transform all the cities, the cost will be astronomical.
Therefore, Yang Qian must record many things first, and then he can do whatever he wants when he becomes rich.
You know, to conquer Goguryeo, the money Yang Gan spent on food, manpower, and livestock was so huge that it couldn't be converted into simple money.
Therefore, it is now the most basic requirement for each county to support itself. Don't even think about asking Yuntong County to pay the bill.
People from the Central Plains are different from Europeans. In the past life, Europe would sometimes engage in things like giving out money to drink poison to quench thirst, which almost made Yang Qian blind with laughter.
To be honest, who doesn't like giving money, but Yang Qian, who is now in power, doesn't like it very much. People in the Central Plains have a saying, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish.
If Mai Tiancheng can really enable Xuantu and Liaodong to produce large areas in a short period of time, then Yuntong County can breathe a sigh of relief and start to accumulate strength.
"Yang Qian, I understand what happened just now!" Zhang Yumeng bought a snack and ran over while eating it.
Yang Gan said in surprise
"It's a pity that you don't want to be an agent. What happened just now has nothing to do with you? Your status shouldn't concern you with such things."
"Do you want to listen?"
"Listen."
"Tch, why are you pretending to be noble?"
"Actually, it's very simple. One of the Fuyu people's sheep was hit and killed by a caravan from Zhongyuan. They were asked to compensate, but the caravan came from Yuntong and they refused to compensate, so they started fighting."
"I want to hear the result." Zhang Yumeng said angrily.
"The county magistrate's office asked the caravan to compensate, but the prerequisite was to give him a beating because the Fuyu people blocked the carriage of the county magistrate on his way to the office. I think the treatment was a bit unfair. A sheep was killed for no reason, but It’s really unlucky to get beaten up again.” Yang Gan said with a smile.
"Isn't this fair? He was lucky. He just blocked the county magistrate's carriage. If he had blocked the county magistrate's carriage, it would not be impossible for him to be beheaded on the spot."
"This is too miserable." Yang Gan shrugged.
"What can be done about this? What if it's an assassin? What if someone takes advantage of it, makes him stop the car, and then takes the opportunity to cover up the killing?" After speaking, Yang Gan pointed at Zhang Yumeng's head.
"You should pay more attention in the future. This world is different from the previous one. The Xia Kingdom is pretty good, but I heard that the public security in the Shang Kingdom is poor."
"Besides, the roads between vassal states are also very troubled by banditry. In such a place, someone would stop a car and hit it directly. Do you understand?" Zhang Yumeng looked at Krisna, nodded and said
"I know, it's just that we didn't seem to see any bandits when we went out." Yang Qian said angrily.
"I lead thousands of soldiers and horses, which bandit is blind enough to provoke me? Don't you seem stupid~~~!"
"I see. I really want to see if the real bandits are the same as those in the TV series!" Yang Gan shook his head helplessly.
Zhang Yumeng has not experienced the severe beatings of this era. The stars in the TV series are full of fat and have fair and rosy skin. No matter how much makeup they put on, there is no way to cover up the exposed spirit.
The bandits of this era are destined to disappoint Zhang Yumeng. There are no professional bandits. They are just some tenant farmers who can't survive, or some deserters who were defeated in the battle.
Due to chronic malnutrition and a shortage of medical resources, the image is probably no better than that of refugees.
The weapons are probably wooden sticks and the like. Don't think the deserters have any weapons. What does it mean to throw away helmets and armor? Forget ordinary leather armor. If it is metal armor, you usually just throw away the weapon and armor, otherwise it will not escape.
After becoming a bandit, few people have weapons. Of course, if you are braver, you can hide them and pick some up when the two sides have not cleared up the battlefield, but this situation is almost rare.
Another half month passed in a hurry. Yang Gan, along with officials and generals, were waiting at the Surabaya dock next to Xuantu City.
There were at least dozens of people waiting for him as well. Next to Yang Gan were Zhu Hongfang, Jia Guohao, Jing Huai, Gu Weiqi and others.
There was also Mai Tiancheng, the governor of Xuantu County who had just been promoted. Touching the guardrail on the shore, Yang Gan said with great satisfaction
"Mai Tiancheng, is this your idea?" Mai Tiancheng cupped his hands and said
"Your Majesty, this is Surabaya. The water is crystal clear and the water volume is sufficient. There are also lush aquatic plants and rich fish resources in the river. I plan to build a few more docks to separate the functions." Yang Gan raised his eyes. , his opinion of Mai Tiancheng has risen to another level.
Although there was trade in various countries, the trade at this time was incomparable to that in the Tang and Song Dynasties. He was the first to be able to separate the docks according to commercial, civilian and other functions.
Looking at Yang Gan's ever-widening but very long pier, Yang Gan smiled.
"It goes without saying that this pier should be for commercial use?" Mai Tiancheng said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, this dock is a comprehensive dock, and it is also the main dock of our Xuantu City."
"In the future, commerce, troop transportation, and water transportation will all be based here. Not far from here, a wharf will be built specifically for handling fish and the like." Yang Gan nodded and had to say that Cong Yuntong People who come from the county system are more or less mysophobic.
Baskets of fish were brought in from the fishermen, and some were even slaughtered on site. You can imagine how unpleasant the smell was.
For the sake of hygiene, the two docks must be separated by a certain distance. Mai Tiancheng looked at Yang Qian's happy face and said cautiously
"Your Majesty, my subordinates heard that there is a device in Wanghai County that can lift objects weighing several stones out of thin air onto a warship. It only takes one or two people to operate it. I don't know, here in Xuantu County... ." Yang Qian glanced at him and said.
"This is not something you have to worry about. Wanghai County is within the Yuntong system. It is a place built specifically for this place to integrate freight and naval warfare. It also takes into account shipbuilding."
"There is also a huge shortage of labor over there. If there is no other way, we can use it. You have a problem here. What do you have? Do you have endless goods to transport or endless wars to fight?" Mai Tiancheng didn't move. He straightened a few strands of hair on his temples.
This is a test. Mai Tiancheng has long heard that Yuntong County has a technology that can save a lot of labor no matter where it is used, but this technology is kept strictly confidential.
Whether among officials or ordinary people, many people know about it, but not many people really understand it.
Some powerful people once planned to initiate connections to get to know them in depth, but they were warned by Amagariji just after they got to know them.
They didn't dare to make any moves at all. The distribution from batteries to motors was recorded, and the technology would not be spread at all.
The people who understand are all people from Tianshou Division. For example, if a small crane is to be installed in a place, then people from Tianshou Division will come to install and operate it, which will not give the local officials anything to take advantage of. opportunity.
The maximum limit of Amagari Division is to teach a specialized person to operate the machinery. As for the principles of batteries, wind power and hydraulic generators, they don't even think about it.
Everyone stood on the dock waiting, and some servants nearby began to give everyone soup to relieve the heat and quench their thirst.
Not long after, a warship appeared in the distance. Driven by a motor, it was automatic in the absence of wind. After it stopped on the pier, the deck was opened. Ran Jing, wearing armor and a cloak, walked down and went straight to the ship. In front of Yang Qian.
"Your Majesty, I'm back~~~!" His eyes were a little red, and he felt like a kid who had left home and finally returned home.
"Okay, okay~~~!"
"I'll wait to see General Ran!"
"General, meet General Ran~~~!" Everyone saluted Ran Jing one after another, and Ran Jing nodded in response.
Yang Gan grabbed Ran Jing's hand, got into the carriage, and set off towards Xuantu City. It must be said that Ran Jing has grown up. He is no longer an immature general, but a general who can conquer cities and territories and lead an army on his own.
It can also open up territory for Yang Gan, so that the general can be released only when needed. Once the war outside is calmed down, he will return to Yang Gan.
To be honest, unless there is a war, Yang Qian would not be willing to let him go out. In the carriage, Ran Jing took out a tiger charm and presented it to Yang Qian with both hands.
"Your Majesty, my mission is over. Return the tiger talisman!" Yang Gan nodded and took it into his arms unceremoniously. In his opinion, when there is no war, generals should not have military power and do not need any guards. And so on, there is no problem with safety on one's own territory.
If he really wants to encounter an assassin on his own territory, Yang Qian will live broadcast Chi Xiang. The prestige of a general is too high, which is a good thing, but it is not a good thing. The advantage is the same as playing games. Which general matches which army, the best fit, of course, it is cultivated by oneself.
For example, the relationship between Wu Qi and Wei Wuzu, and the relationship between Yang Qian and Xuanjia Army. If the generals don't know the soldiers and the soldiers don't know the generals, although they are safe in terms of power, they will be more or less compromised when fighting a war.
Therefore, what Yang Qian adopted is that generals only have the power to command troops, and the power to deploy troops must be given by themselves, because what they give to themselves can also be taken back.
In addition, whether it is the Xuanjia Army, the Yufeng Army, the Polu Army, or the Auxiliary Army, as long as they are soldiers trained by Yang Gan, their ideological education will not stop.
Among the fanatics in the Yufeng Army and the Xuanjia Army, whatever Yang Gan said was the standard, that was the imperial edict, and Yang Gan's goal was their target.
