After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

“Are these farm tools free to use?”

There were several people talking on the street, and someone was listening timidly.

Shaye had just arrived from Mino County and was not familiar with the policies in Anping.

Some people looked at Shaye and recognized that Shaye might not be a local. They looked at Shaye and nodded.

“Yes, as long as you register with the government, you can use it for free for a period of time.

I don't see you, you just arrived in Anping."

Shaye smiled and answered yes.

"Then you came to Anping at the right time. You have been allocated land, right? Go get some rice seeds and plant them. The yield per mu of rice is much higher than that of millet. Once you plant the rice and apply fertilizer, you will have enough to eat for a year and more."

Sha Ye was overjoyed when he heard this. He went to the market today and asked several people, and they all told him the same thing. Moreover, the land was indeed divided among them, although the final ownership of the land still belonged to the government.

But this tax only needs to be paid as personal income tax. If you pay less tax, you can naturally save food and won’t be afraid of going hungry every day.

"I was also brought here from another place. I was originally from Guangsha. I have been in Anping for more than a year. Not only has my family stockpiled food, but the adults in my family of six often go to work in the factory.

To tell you the truth, life is so good now. For example, fried rice with soy sauce was not something that people like us could afford before. Now that life is better, we can afford soy sauce and oyster sauce."

"Yes, you can live in Anping. I heard that the factory wages will increase to fifteen cents a day in the future."

"Fifteen cents, so high?"

For the first time, Shaye experienced the wealth of Anping.

There is no work for them in Suo County.

Shaye bought some farm tools on credit from the store and returned home.

He calculated that his brothers could pay off the money they earned from these farm tools and their lives in a few weeks, and still have some money left over.

Thinking of this, he became full of energy.

Ji Ying has been in Anping for a week. He passed the assessment today and will take up his post in the government office tomorrow.

He just graduated from elementary literacy class.

I was quite reluctant to leave.

Many of the stories in the literacy class story materials are just excerpts.

For example, the Daughter of the Sea in the new version of the textbook.

Ji Ying was thinking about the fisher girl in the story. After this class, his mind was full of thoughts about whether the fisher girl would marry the number one scholar, and who the number one scholar would choose between the fisher girl and the princess.

Obviously, his initial focus was on the words on paper, but after a few literacy classes, the stories were even more tortuous than the vernacular novels.

Ji Ying signed up for a literacy class. He didn't have much money, so he would be working in a factory these days.

The factory in Anping was very different. His salary was paid on a daily basis and as an informal worker, he only made ten cents a day. Fortunately, food and accommodation were provided, which saved him some money.

Ji Ying is not a person who likes to be treated with superiority and privilege. He is good at getting work done and fully agrees with Mu Qing's operating model in Anping.

The factory’s products, such as fertilizer, can be sold to the people.

Workers get paid for their work, soil and fertilizer are sold to factories for revenue, and money flows from one place to another.

As soon as Ji Ying arrived at the factory, he started to learn crazily. With his flexible and quick mind, he soon understood the significance of the existence of these factories.

Profits are secondary. The factory has created many jobs, providing work for many people.

Ji Ying had never attended a large class in the government office, so he didn't know words like economics, but he guessed it was pretty close.

A city lord who completely considers the people.

Ji Ying just felt that his brain was not enough during these days in Anping.

He still has a lot to learn.

Mu Qing's annexation of three cities caused quite a stir in Shengjing, and even those high-ranking officials began to pay attention to this city.

Judging from the time, his "good" brothers should have sent people on the way.

Ji Ying smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that they might be about to find him.

----

The arrival of people means the availability of labor force.

But this amount of labor is really not enough.

Mu Qing lowered his eyes. Food is the most important thing for people, and fields need to be planted.

But technology must also develop.

After the bicycle factory and soy sauce factory were established in Anping, Mu Qing was under tremendous pressure.

For a time, Anping’s labor force was stretched to the limit, and without people, the only option was to increase productivity.

It's time to launch the steam engine. In addition to the steam engine, it would be best to manufacture the generator at the same time.

Steam engines can be used in industrial fields such as textiles and papermaking.

Next is power generation. Steam engines can drive generators to convert heat energy into electrical energy. Early thermal power plants mainly used steam engines as prime movers to drive generators to generate electricity and supply power to the power grid.

If electricity were developed sooner, Jiang Ji would be freed from electrolysis of water sooner.

Next are electric lights and various electrical appliances.

Electricity is used in many places.

In addition, steam engines can propel ships.

Steam engines can be used as a power source for ships to propel them forward.

Early steamships used paddle wheel propulsion, where the rotation of the steam engine drove the four paddle wheels to rotate, moving the ship forward.

Going out to sea to explore new continents requires ships, and steamships undoubtedly reached the next level in this era.

Not only that, Beiyang and Guangsha are separated by a large river, the Ming River.

If the people of Beiyang wanted to go from Beiyang to Guangsha, they had to take the official road as a detour. One of the routes was from Beiyang to Nanwan, passing through Suo County and then taking the official road to Guangsha.

This is undoubtedly a long journey.

However, it might not take long to reach Beiyang via the Ming River.

Maybe we can reach Beiyang in one day.

The prerequisite is that Mu Qing has to build the steam engine and then build the ship.

For an extra layer of insurance.

Some of Gongshu's men studied artillery, and some of them worked on shipbuilding.

There are professional shipbuilding craftsmen in the four cities, but they are very few, and almost all of them were brought to the base by Mu Qing.

The steam engine was driven by Xu Yu, Mu Qing and others.

Xu Yu studied steam engines for some time.

Steam engine production can be divided into five steps.

The first is the production of the boiler. The boiler is the core component of the steam engine, used to heat water to produce steam. The boiler needs to have good sealing and high temperature and high pressure resistance.

A steam engine is a reciprocating power machine that converts the energy of steam into mechanical work.

The problem of sealing is just solved by Anyin. Anyin can weld steel and naturally can also control the shape after welding.

This can be regarded as another major discovery after welding.

The second is the design of the piston and cylinder.

The piston is the actuator in the steam engine, which reciprocates in the cylinder. The design of the piston and cylinder needs to take into account the strength, sealing and wear resistance of the material.
