I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Looking at the map of Goryeo, Zhang Nuo racked his brains, wondering what to plant in Goryeo?

But, people are selfish, and they must take care of their own property first, so Zhang Nuo's first choice was to ask the National People's Congress to plant sorghum on a large scale, and sign a contract to guarantee the harvest.

These agreements are signed with those shareholders. Although they can choose what to plant, but with King Qin's face and visible benefits, it goes without saying what they will choose.

Anyway, Zhang Nuo finally breathed a sigh of relief this year, and didn't have to worry so much about the raw materials for wine making.

However, the area of ​​Koryo is really not small. It can't be used to grow sorghum, so how much wine would have to be brewed to use it up.

Therefore, there must be other crops, and there is no need to worry about food. In this regard, Zhang Nuo has set death requirements, and must ensure that the food produced by Korea is more than enough to feed everyone.

But considering the terrifying yield of new crops, some land is still vacant, which is a bit annoying.

Zhang Nuo thought about it, and decided to plant sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn. After all, these things can be made into many kinds of food that can last for a long time. Good stuff.

Zhang Nuo felt that as a foodie and a cook at the same time, he had to let these people know how happy it is to be a foodie.

At the same time, for a cynical youth who is determined to conquer the whole world and plant the flag of Tang Dynasty everywhere in the world, food security is an issue that cannot be ignored.

He can earn less money, but there must be no famine during disasters. People can be hacked to death, but they must not starve to death. This is Zhang Nuo's bottom line.

And the shareholders who also came from the Central Plains, of course, raised their hands in favor of this, after all, they also maintain this view.

At any time, the price of food will be lower at most, but it will never lose money.

And as long as there is food in hand, there is absolutely no need to panic.

However, Zhang Nuo is not just a matter of arranging the planting of crops, he also has to arrange the construction of water conservancy facilities according to the local conditions.

With the help of cement, the originally extremely difficult water conservancy construction is undoubtedly much easier.

But Goryeo is not a small place, not to mention there are Baekje and Silla waiting to join, and there will be more and more land in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo looked at the map of Koryo in front of him and pondered secretly.

Zhang Nuo is very clear about the amount of cement to be used in the future. There is only more but not the most. After the house is repaired, the factory is repaired, the factory is repaired and the dock is repaired, the dock is repaired and there are water conservancy facilities, and the water conservancy is complete and there are roads. Too many places need to use cement.

We must know that this is still the current territory of Goryeo, as well as the vast customs of Datang and the soon-to-be-recovered Baekje and Silla. At present, the cement of Zhang Nuo's factory alone is not enough at all.

So Zhang Nuo called Ma Zhou, who was accompanying him, and directly issued an order to build more than [-] large cement factories in various places in Koryo, preferably near the mines. Other requirements should be based on existing scripts.

However, Zhang Nuo repeatedly emphasized one point, that is, the safety of workers must be ensured.

You must know that the cement factory is very harmful to the human body. If you don’t even prepare a basic mask, it will definitely turn a person from a strong man into a tuberculosis who coughs every day.

At present, there is no such thing as cotton, but Zhang Nuo can't let them mess around. Several layers of linen are superimposed together, which is barely enough.

Although it is impossible to compare with the protective equipment of later generations, it is better than no protection at all.

This is not about Our Lady of Zhang Nuo, but from the perspective of a capitalist, the value of these skilled workers is much higher than that of some cheap protective equipment.

After finishing the work of the cement factory, Zhang Nuo suddenly thought that no one seemed to have discovered the good thing of cotton, so he could get it.

Compared with potatoes and other crops, cotton is naturally much more delicate. It has certain requirements for light and rain, and if it is not done well, it will be dry for a year.

But on the other hand, cotton is really a very good economic crop. Cotton seeds can be used to extract oil. Cotton can not only be spun but also used as excellent warm clothing. At the same time, cotton stalks can be used to make paper and be used as firewood.

It can be said that it is a treasure from beginning to end!

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo stared at the vast land of Silla and Baekje on the map with a smile.

So, Qin Qiong was just about to set off and before he started to attack, Zhang Nuo had already decided what to plant on the land there.

However, on the other hand, after Zhang Nuo’s toss, the agriculture of the entire Goryeo will take on a new look. It is no longer a random planting, but a reasonable arrangement of large-scale planting according to the local geological conditions.

At the same time, the unification of procurement and sales has further improved the benefits of this large-scale planting.

Zhang Nuo is actually making arrangements now. To increase land production, on the one hand, he needs to provide more excellent crops, but on the other hand, he still needs to make fertilizers when he has time.

To put it bluntly, if there is such a thing as chemical fertilizers, all the people in the customs can be fed in just one place in Koryo.

Today, Zhang Nuo has already made arrangements for the short-term, mid-term, and long-term plans for the development of agriculture in Korea.

As long as the current established policies are followed, the entire Koryo will surely move towards prosperity, and at the same time, it will also become the heavy industry base and large-scale agricultural base of the entire Tang Dynasty.

With Korea as the logistics base, the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty can slowly begin to transform into various new industries such as industry and commerce.

This is Zhang Nuo's whole game of chess for Korea and even the entire Tang Dynasty, and these plans are also the result of several long talks between him and Li Shimin in the palace all night.

Although this plan will take a long time, Zhang Nuo is full of confidence.

Chapter 511 Research Talent Xu Bowen

Agriculture is easy to arrange. After all, it depends on the weather and the season. You can’t say what to plant today, and then everyone will go to work with hoes tomorrow.

Today's Zhang Nuo is just doing a good job of planning. It is not an easy task to collect, transport grain seeds, and make various agricultural tools.

But fortunately, all places in Koryo today are actually under dual management. Not only are the officials appointed by Zhang Nuo in the past to manage the localities, but there are also stewards sent by shareholders who have won the local land.

It is impossible to have no contradictions between the two, but at least for now, they can still coexist harmoniously!

After all, one is for their own political achievements, and the other is for the benefit of the country. Both need local stability and long-term peace and order.

Zhang Nuo felt at ease in this regard, at least for the time being.Of course, there are mainly two reasons. One is because he is there, at least it is no problem to coerce the whole Goryeo. He is a majestic King Qin, who destroyed Goryeo in World War I, and brought so many people to make a fortune. That coercion is not a joke. .

To put it bluntly, if Zhang Nuo was offended, it would be tantamount to offending a large number of shareholders behind him who followed him to make a fortune, and he might be killed by someone without knowing who did it.

And another reason is that, at least for the time being, it is impossible for any germination of capitalism to appear here, because although businessmen have a little status at present, they really don't have much.

If you want to control the officialdom and cultivate power like in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the royal family represented by Li Shimin, even the aristocratic families and nobles will destroy him first.

After all, if you want to enter the officialdom to cultivate power, that is to invade other people's territory. If you don't kill them, why not save them for the New Year?

In addition, at present, ordinary people can do small business, but large-scale trade and the like are all in the hands of nobles, and they have not been released to the people at all, and it is impossible to let go of it for the time being.

However, one of the biggest benefits of the absence of the emergence of capitalism is that these nobles are not blindly pursuing profits.

That's right, after all, these sons and nobles are basically in the court, and they are really deeply bound to this country.

When the country is prosperous, their family will be more prosperous, and if the country is declining, their life will be difficult, especially during the national war.

Basically, as long as it is a national war, other people may have a chance to survive. As for the nobles, unless they are very useful and surrendered, they will definitely be wiped out.

Therefore, for now, Zhang Nuo doesn't need to worry about these things, and just waits for a win-win situation with these nobles.

As for what to do if some families eat and drink enough to slowly decay and do not seek to make progress, then there is still Lao Li. Although Lao Li does not kill heroes, he is really cruel to these noble families in history. of.

Gossip less, after finishing the agricultural construction plan, Zhang Nuo strolled to the research institute set up in the corner of the city.

The old rules, whether it is a research institute set up in Lantian City or Pyongyang City, the first requirement is martial law. Whether it is the craftsmen or scientific research achievements inside, Zhang Nuo does not want to be stolen or destroyed by accident. .

Of course, the resident here is also temporary, and will be relocated to a special place outside the city in the future. After all, with the continuous development of scientific research, the things developed are getting bigger and more dangerous at the same time.

Regardless of whether it is a steam engine or other large-scale equipment, it is still inconvenient to study it in the city.

Zhang Nuo's arrangement is to wait for the industrial zone to be completed, and to directly set aside a large area in it as the residence of the scientific research institute.

In this way, the allocation of raw materials is much more convenient, and in many cases, if there are any good scientific research results, they can go directly to the factory to practice.

The current main project in the scientific research area is the steam engine. Zhang Nuo really wants to make a train. If there is a train, even if the speed is a little slower, at least it can travel far in comfort and sleep. thousands of miles.

At the same time, the appearance of the train will change the situation of the entire Tang Dynasty. To put it bluntly, every area will be changed by the train.

After all, if you want to get rich, you need to build roads first. In this era, what roads and transportation methods are comparable to trains?

However, it is not easy to truly reproduce the great invention of the steam engine in this era.

At present, the person in charge of the entire Pyongyang City Research Area is a young man named Xu Bowen. The official of the eighth rank is here.

But he liked to tinker with these things since he was a child, and later he entered the Ministry of Industry as he wished with his knowledge and hobbies. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Industry was completely different from what he imagined. It didn't pay attention to the research and development of new appliances at all, and focused more on manufacturing and large-scale engineering construction.

Fortunately, he met Zhang Nuo, so he almost immediately resigned from the Ministry of Industry and came over.

Fortunately, Zhang Nuo had already been granted the title of King Qin at that time. From the perspective of his family, it seemed that it was nothing to jump from the Ministry of Industry to the King of Qin. Anyway, the broken position in the Ministry of Industry was just a low-level official.

Although the Xu family is not a big family, there are several officials of the fourth and fifth ranks in the family. Naturally, they are well-informed. They naturally know that His Highness King Qin is not a useless vassal prince with no power, but a real prince with real power.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to know that Xu Bowen was called by His Royal Highness King Qin and brought him to Korea to take charge of the new project, although Xu Bowen couldn't tell his family what he was doing now.

But the official status and financial rewards he got back before are enough to make the family ecstatic. Although they don't know what they are doing, they all understand the truth in the officialdom, and the more they can't talk about it, the more important it is.

Now that he was personally called by King Qin to go to Korea, that must be a good thing.

Zhang Nuo also has a very good impression of Xu Bowen, mainly because he not only has a foundation in mathematics, language and characters, but also has knowledge that ordinary craftsmen do not have, and more importantly, he has always maintained his interest.

These points add up to be very rare.

In Zhang Nuo's view, scientific research cannot last long if it is driven solely by profit. After all, it might be enough to feed one day, so wouldn't it lose the motivation to move forward?

Only interest and exuberant curiosity can drive people forward. Xu Bowen is undoubtedly very good in this respect, so Zhang Nuo is not hesitating to train him well, and at the same time, he also wants to see if something can happen to him. The miracle he wanted to see!

Chapter 512 Technical Verification of Research Institute

When Zhang Nuo saw Xu Bowen, he was really not in a good condition. Not to mention his whole body was in a mess, and there were stains all over his body.

But Zhang Nuo was no stranger to this behavior, not only Xu Bowen, but almost everyone in the scientific research area basically looked like this when they were busy with work.

Zhang Nuo was not polite to them, and directly spoke,

"Old Xu, I'll come over to see how you are doing here, do you have any idea?"

Zhang Nuo has always been like this. He always uses various very casual names for people he is familiar with. As long as you don't speak out against it, you will never change it.

But this also has an advantage, that is, people can quickly get acquainted with each other.

At least Xu Bowen feels a lot more comfortable when he hears His Royal Highness King Qin call Lao Xu. This is His Highness, and he is always approachable.

However, this is not the time to sigh. His Highness King Qin is still waiting to talk about work, so Xu Bowen hastily restrained his mind and began to answer seriously.

"Your Highness, at present, we are actually not in a hurry to start the steam engine you mentioned, but plan to verify it first!"

Hearing this, Zhang Nuo smiled. He is indeed a scientific researcher. Regardless of your background, when you come across something you are interested in, you have to verify it yourself before it is reliable.

However, Zhang Nuo feels that this kind of spirit is appropriate. At present, craftsmen are more accustomed to the mode of doing whatever the master or Shangguan tells them to do.

After all, for them, before invention and creation was a very distant thing, now with Zhang Nuo's spare no effort to promote it, it is a little bit better.

However, for people like Xu Bowen, they really look like scientific researchers. For unknown knowledge, what they want to do is not just like an ordinary craftsman and start to figure out how to make it.

Instead, explore and study the principles and subsequent derivatives.

In fact, from a practical point of view, this kind of thing is obviously thankless.After all, no matter how much they researched, they would still have to make things according to Zhang Nuo's drawings in the end, but the time and energy were wasted in vain.

However, in the long run, this spirit of exploration is very useful.

Because once they really understand the principles of steam engines, they will not be limited to the existing drawings, they can start to derive from the existing basis, large-scale, small-scale, special-shaped and other variants will appear.

Obviously, for Zhang Nuo, the steam engine must be spread to every corner, so in fact, what Xu Bowen and others are doing now is what they will do sooner or later.

After all, if you don't have a thorough understanding of the relevant theories, Zhang Nuolai will have to provide blueprints for subsequent development.At the same time, the feeling of poking and moving is really uncomfortable.

Seeing that Zhang Nuo expressed no objection to the current situation, Xu Bowen finally heaved a sigh of relief. Don't blame him, he is really scared!

He is not a craftsman who can be happy for a long time just by giving a small amount of money. He really grew up in a family of officials and worked in the Ministry of Industry. Of course, he knows the concept of King Qin's majesty.

In other words, His Royal Highness Qin Wang is easy to talk, and he didn't do too much.Otherwise, I'm afraid my head would have fallen to the ground right now.

However, with the support of His Royal Highness King Qin, it will be easy!

Xu Bowen actually started some technical verification tests before Zhang Nuo came, and Zhang Nuo didn't mind these, and just followed Xu Bowen in.

The current scientific research area is naturally not as good as the old scientific research area in Lantian City, which has been developed for a long time. It is the most suitable place for scientific research in Tang Dynasty and even on earth.

However, Xu Bowen has been here for a few days, and with no shortage of people or space, he still specializes in the machinery industry, so it is much easier to make some simple preparations.

So when Zhang Nuo walked in, he really looked like this place.

In the middle of the yard is a large black iron pot, which is being set on the fire and burned vigorously, and there are some messy things such as pipes attached to the pot.

As the manager here, Xu Bowen naturally took over the task of explaining, and said seriously,

"Your Highness, what we are currently experimenting here is to measure as much as possible the power of this steam. After all, the blueprint you gave only mentioned how to make this steam engine and its principle, but in the end we don't have a specific one. impression!"

"Xiaguan's idea is to directly use this tank to replace the steam cylinder in the drawing, and the outlet represents the power output. I want to test how much power such a small tank can generate!"

Zhang Nuo watched with a strange expression as a group of craftsmen took out one thing after another and started tossing, and then slowly assembled something that left him speechless.

If he read it correctly, it looks like it might be the steam cannon in some kind of steampunk civilization in a certain cartoon he watched when he was a child, right?

The principle of this thing is actually shockingly simple, it is nothing more than using the pressure of steam expansion to push the projectile.

But the point is, how did this group of craftsmen, who have only been exposed to steam engines for a few days, come up with such a method and use it to test the power of the steam engine?

However, Zhang Nuo claims that he is not a scientific research talent, he is just a hooker who relies on cheating to get by, so it is better not to talk about this kind of serious scientific experiment.
