Now most of the arable land in the northwest has been reclaimed by the royal family, so Zhu Cijing is particularly concerned about this area. It is 200 million to 300 million mu, and 80% of it is also more than 200 million mu. It is a pity. Can you move the migrated population back? But they have land now, and they don’t plant land with sufficient rain, so they can plant dry land. Isn’t this a disease?

Perhaps there are other solutions, and he asked unwillingly: "Why can a middle-aged laborer only grows at most twenty acres? What is the main difficulty?"

This question is really too simple. If it is said too directly, it is afraid that it will be suspected of mocking the emperor's ignorance. Chen Zilong thought for a moment, and replied carefully in a respectful tone: "This, the emperor, it is mainly about turning the ground. Even if there are cows, the cows will be exhausted after turning the land. If there aren't cows, the ox will be exhausted even if they turn the land down. If there aren't cows, the ox will be exhausted even if they turn the land down! "

Zhu Cijiu did not pay attention to Chen Zilong's tone. His main focus was on this difficulty. After listening to Chen Zilong's description, he suddenly realized that turning the ground was indeed a problem. Even if he had never planted the ground, he knew that it would be quite physically exhausting to dig the ground with one hoe and one hoe. Even if he used a ox to pull the plow, the ox's physical strength would be limited. It would be great if he could have the equipment for plowing in the future.

Before he could speak, Bi Maokang said regretfully: "Song Yingxing once mentioned to Weichen that he wanted to design a land-turning dragon, which was to use a steam locomotive to pull a large row of ox plows. In this way, turning a acre of land is only about a quarter of an hour. The motorcycle will not be tired, and turning a few dozen acres of land a day is not a problem. However, the problem of this wheel has never been solved. To ensure that the wheel does not fall into the ground, you must try to make the wheel wider, but the wider the wheel is, the heavier the wheel, and the heavier the wheel is, the easier it is to fall into it. This is simply a dead knot, so this land-turning dragon cannot be made."

Isn’t it just a load-bearing question? Why don’t you come and ask me? Zhu Cijiu clapped his hands excitedly and said, “This is too simple, why didn’t you say it earlier? I’ll draw it for you.”

After saying that, he personally brought paper and pen from the desk and drew a sketch of the tracked chassis.

Without him explaining, Bi Maokang understood at first sight. He couldn't help but look at Zhu Cijiong with a very respectful look, and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "The emperor is really a god."

Zhu Cijiu was embarrassed again when he heard this. This was just a pure copy and plagiarism. It was really not worth laughing at. He asked a little embarrassedly: "There is no problem with the earth-turning dragon now. Please discuss with Zilong to see how many earth-turning dragons you need to match in the northwest, and strive to make them all before next spring plowing."

When Bi Maokang heard this, he looked shocked and said without any discussion. He couldn't do it at all. He couldn't help but say in embarrassment: "Prince, please forgive me for being incompetent. Wang Gongchang really can't make so many earth-turning dragons. Now the weapons and equipment of each regular legion are a little bit unsatisfied, and there are also purchase orders on the continent... By the way, Master, how many muskets and artillery do you need on the continent?"

When Zhu Cijiu heard this, he slapped his forehead and forgot about this matter. Some time ago, he focused his main energy on the northwest. He really had no intention of talking about arms deals with people, so he sent a continental procurement group to various places in the Ming Dynasty for a trip. At this moment, he didn't know where these people were.

It was embarrassing now. I don’t know the specific order quantity and delivery date of the continental region, so the military factory planning cannot be done. He thought about it. Anyway, the matters of trains, telegraph networks and Northwest development have been almost done. So I’ll just go here today. When he and the continental procurement team have agreed to the order contract, we will discuss the planning of the military factory.

So he said directly: "Let's go here today, and we will discuss the remaining matters in two days."

The emperor had a golden word and said the same thing, so everyone naturally did not dare to have any opinions. Hearing this, they stood up and left behind Zhu Cijiu to make a deep thought.

In fact, he was not thinking deeply, it was just a little embarrassed. As soon as everyone finished leaving, he immediately recruited Cao Huachun in and asked in a low voice: "Where is the European embassy group now?"

Cao Huachun whispered: "Reply to the emperor's words, they came back from Liaodong a few days ago and are now visiting Dongdaying."

Fortunately, not far away, Zhu Cijiong whispered: "Immediately send my order to rush back today, and I will meet them in Huangji Palace tomorrow to discuss the issue of arms ordering."

Now there is a train between Beijing and Dongdaying, and it is convenient to go back and forth. Cao Huachun said and obeyed the order, and then respectfully left and arranged.

Unexpectedly, not long after he left, he whistled outside the door again: "Report to the Emperor, the Jinyiwei urgently reported the secret report."

When Zhu Cijing heard the word "extended" and his heart skipped a beat. This was definitely a big deal, so they didn't dare to send any urgent secret reports here. He hurriedly said: "Quick, send them in."

Upon hearing this, Cao Huachun immediately hurriedly walked in with a secret report.

Zhu Cijiu took the secret report and took a look. He said in one sentence: Report to the emperor that Jiannu planned to establish a country on the Chahar Grassland on December 30 this year and proclaimed himself emperor. His country was called "Qing Dynasty"!

Damn, this guy is this guy again, can’t you calm down? I’m calling myself emperor at this time because I want me to beat you up, right?

Huang Taiji did think so. He just wanted Zhu Cijiu to send troops to the grassland to fight him!

As a hero of a generation, he naturally would not be willing to remain silent like this. Since he was driven to the Mongolian grassland by Zhu Cijiu, he worked hard to control the Mongolian tribes while developing gunpowder weapons. He finally completely conquered the Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert by the end of this year and obtained the imperial seal of the Northern Yuan Emperor.

In ancient times, the imperial seal was generally regarded as the destiny of heaven, that is, whoever obtained the imperial seal was the emperor chosen by God. Huang Taiji deeply believed that God favored him, but the strength of the Ming Dynasty almost made him desperate. What should I do? Using his current military force to attack Daming is simply seeking death. However, the imperial seal not only gave him confidence, but also made him think of a trick, which was to lead the Ming army to the grassland.

If he attacked head-on, he would have no way to face the Ming Dynasty's strong city and cannon, but it would be different when he arrived on the grassland. The vast grassland was the world of their nomadic people. Even if a million troops came to the Ming Dynasty, it would be useless. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang had organized million troops to enter the Mongolian grassland many times and wanted to destroy the Northern Yuan. As a result, the Ming Dynasty said it was a victory, but the Northern Yuan had persisted for more than 300 years, and it was only now that he was destroyed by himself.

The Ming army is less than two or three million now. If the little emperor really dares to organize a million troops into the grassland, he might be able to make a Tumu Fort change for him. As long as he eliminates these million troops, the flower world of the Central Plains is not at your fingertips!

As the saying goes, there is no day, and there is no two kings in the country. Huang Taiji thought that as long as the news of his claim to be emperor spread, the little emperor would be angry and embarrassed. The emperor personally led the army to fight. Will Zhu Cijiu be deceived?

He was indeed very angry. He just wanted to develop well for a while, but this guy came to make trouble, but he also knew that he wanted to block this guy on the grassland. With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, he decided to ignore this guy first. When the development was almost done, he organized a large army to go to the grassland to support him.
