Jin Yi's words finally became somewhat convincing. The Qiang people did not know much about the gains, losses, and interests of Xiong Jing, but when they thought of the shopkeeper beside Dahao Shi, he was unsure of the idea. The shopkeeper was once a Qin man, and with his understanding of Qin, he naturally knew the common people of Qin. Under appropriate conditions, it was not impossible for this person to persuade the Qiang people to help the Qin army fight.

When Xiong Jing was thinking, several ministers spoke, either supporting the Qiang people to attack Qin, or thinking that the Qiang people were not trustworthy, and they specifically mentioned the marriage between Chu and Qiang. All allies and ministers would marry Xiong Jing a woman, Zhao, Wei, Qi, Zhuyue, Ba, Qiang, and some time ago, the Miao people said they would marry their daughters and enter the Chu Palace.

This kind of thing made him feel uncomfortable. The messengers said that the one who married the country and the most beautiful woman in his tribe was, but the one who actually married was not worthy of Mi Xuan to carry shoes except Ying Nan. This is not that they lie, but mainly that they have different aesthetics. Xiong Jing only hopes that the Qiang woman whom I want to marry this winter is not scared to him.

"I will discuss the matters of the Qiang people again." Xiong Jing ended the debate among the ministers with one sentence. This meeting was not specifically about the strategy of Chu and Qiang, but about the Qin State's turn to attack Qi State, Chu State should make those national politics and strategic adjustments.

Qin wants to destroy Qi, if you are lucky, it will bring you a window of opportunity for several years to Chu, but if you are unfortunate, it may not change anything - maybe Linzi will be pulled out by Wang Jian in a few days, Qi will be destroyed, and then nearly one million Qin troops will be suppressed by Chu again.

"If the Qin people used the plan of attacking the autumn defense in spring and attacking Shangyu, Fangcheng, Wei, Lu, Qi and other places, the corn in the Three Kingdoms would be insufficient." After the Bashu and Qiang people said that Xiong Jing wanted to talk about food. "Can you know how much millet is produced in the old Ying area in an annual manner?"

"Reported to the king, according to the Qin people, there are 38 million stones in the ordinary year." Yu Yin replied.

"Can you accumulate millet like this?" Xiong Jing asked, the output exceeded his expectations.

"You can accumulate 10 million stones of millet every year." Yu Yin replied. His words surprised all the ministers. You must know that before moving east, Ji Ying had to transport millet from Qingyang and other places. In fifty years, the Qin State turned this place into a place where millet was produced.

Xiong Jing was also surprised, but he was not happy at all, but frowned. The old Ying was really finished. It was like, it was like, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou were going to transport grain from other places in later generations. After fifty years, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou not only did not have to transfer grain from other places, but instead had food to support the provinces.

This is an extremely terrible thing. It means that Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, where elites once gathered, only a group of farmers were left fifty years later. Tiananmen Square, Chang'an Street, Forbidden City, Bund, Nanjing Road, Shangxiajiu, colleges and universities, science and technology parks, industrial parks... These places were roughly flattened by bulldozers, revealing soil, and planting wheat, corn or rice.

Xiong Jing was the focus of the ministers. He frowned, and the ministers quickly calmed down, and some of the ministers also felt sad. Old Ying was no longer the old Ying of the past, and they could not find any of the old Ying in Old Ying. Old Ying wanted to return to the Yingdu, which was so prosperous that the nations envied, when the ancestor Huai, the prosperous capital of Ying was so enviable to the nations. It would take more than ten years for the ministers to be sad about the prosperity, but Xiong Jing cared about the people of Chu. The incident in Linze made him feel that the people of Chu were no longer Chu.

After sighing heavily in his heart, he continued: "Wei State produces 70 million stones of millet every year, 60 million stones of Qi State, 84 million stones of the east land, 40 million stones of Ying, 30 million stones of Nanyang, Shangyu and Hanzhong each have about 10 million stones, totaling 34 million stones. The Qin people carried out the plan of attacking and defending the autumn in spring, Wei, Qi, Nanyang, Shangyu, if there was no collection, there would be only 144 million stones left, less than half."

"Chu, Yue, Zhao, Qi, and the army's war horses should have 600,000 people to eat. For this reason, the fewer ones who are tired of food, the fewer ones, two million people, and the most are two million people. In terms of one and two million people, and the other ones, the other ones, the other ones, the other ones, and the other ones are 65 million stones of corn a year."

Xiong Jing was only responsible for raising questions, not solving them. The sudden increase in the number of cavalry in the Qin army to 40,000 will inevitably launch the cavalry harassment war that Li Qi mentioned. Once this happens, food will become a problem.

"If you get Bashu, you will produce nearly 60 million stones of millet every year, and you will accumulate 30 million stones of millet." Knowing that the officials are most familiar with the situation of Qin State, the rich land of Bashu has a smaller population than that of the old Ying.

"If the east land, old Ying, Bashu all planted the valleys of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty," said Yu Yin. "The income can increase by 180 million stones a year, which is 20 million stones more than the reduction. Wei, Qi, Shang, Hanzhong, and Fangcheng, accumulated grain in a year, and the remaining amount will increase to 50 million.

The east land accumulated 30 million stones, the old Ying accumulated 10 million stones, and the Bashu accumulated 30 million stones. These 70 million stones, plus 50 million stones, have 120 million stones. The army has 600,000 people, and the laborers consumed a total of 65 million stones of millet, which can be surplused by 55 million stones of grain every year."

"Can the East land, old Ying, and Bashu plant the valleys of Dongzhou?" Xiong Jing's brows were stretched at this time. If sweet potatoes and potatoes could really increase their income by 180 million stones, food and fodder would no longer be a problem.

"It can be planted naturally." Yu Yin said. "The grains of Dongzhou are the same as millet. The grains of Dongzhou are produced in the same way as millet, and the grains of Dongzhou are produced in the grains. The three places of Dongzhou are harvested in the old Ying and Bashu, and the grains of Dongzhou can also be harvested in this number. However, Bashu is thousands of miles away, so it can only take Xia water out of Ba. A boat does not carry armored soldiers, and transport only a thousand stones of millet..."

"Yi Yin Miao." The transport sergeant E Zhuo corrected the way. "The Qin people carried fifty armored soldiers, and the millet was enough for three months to eat. If the armored soldiers were not carried, they were only eight hundred stones. Bashu could have accumulated 30 million stones of millet, and the valley of Dongzhou collected another 60 million stones, totaling 90 million stones, and 1.2 million tons. Once transported, 113,000 large boats were required; if transported twice, 56,000 large boats were required.

I have no boat. There are 13,000 tons of river boats, more than 17,000 tons of fishing boats, twenty-five,000 tons of boats transported by the army, and more than 42,000 tons of sea boats, and more than 100,000 tons of total."

It’s a pity that the transportation capacity is not enough, and the bottleneck is still the boat. The transportation of boats is a cost-effectiveness, but the transportation speed of boats is too slow. If the boats are not transported in time, the people of Qi and Wei can also be allowed to go to Bashu to eat, but this is too far away.

"From this perspective, the Qi people should plant the valleys of Dongzhou." Zhaoshu said. "If this is not the case, even if there is food and fodder, it will not be transported well."

"What can the Qin people go to the valley of Dongzhou when the Qi people are planted?!" Yu Yin shook his head.

"I would like to remind the king that if the Qin people get the valley of Dongzhou, they will harvest two times a year and attack endlessly." Li Qi also opposed Zhaoshu's proposal. "The Qin people will attack Zhao for three years. If they cut Zhao the year before, they will stop cutting Zhao next year. If they get the valley of Dongzhou, they will continue to attack me every year in the future. It is impossible, and it is very impossible!"

"How many large ships can be built in a mansion or not in a sea boat?" Li Qie immediately asked Xiang Gongshujian, and he felt that to solve the problem, he should find a way from the boat.

"The large trunk can be used for wet wood, one trunk of 18 tons, no dock, and the boat platform is simple, and can be built everywhere." Gongshujian replied. "There are 40,000 boat builders today, 350 days a year, and a total of 14 million working days. Each trunk only takes 1,500 working days. If there is no shortage of wood, 9,300 boats can be built. There are dozens of boats in the remaining areas, dozens of boats, and there should be tens of thousands."

"No wood?" Xiong Jing smiled helplessly, and after all, he still lacked wood.

"Yes." Gong Shujian nodded. "Although the big trunk does not have hardwoods, it saves materials. One ton of water does not require one large trunk, but tens of thousands of big trunks still require 140,000 large trunks of various colors."

"There are countless big chapters in the Xiang River, but no one cuts down." said the Great Elder Song. There are no big chapters in the Central Plains, only the southern mountainous areas have scattered primitive forests.

"There are many pine and cypresses in Ouyue and Minyue." Zuo Kai said. "Although there are people, there are no tools for cutting wood, they don't know how to transport it."

"There are also a forest of Dazhang in Gan River." Lan Yin wanted to speak, but two Ao took the lead. "Five people and one team of giant iron saws can cut fifty large seals a year, and tens of thousands of them can cut tens of thousands of them. The difficulty is the transportation of Dazhang. The best thing is to drag the large seal with a steam machine, but the steam machine is insufficient. Last year, the building of the mansion said that the steam machine could be used to carry it on its own, and it was called "'not asking for horses', and this "not asking for horses' has never been seen today."

At the monthly meeting, the Yins will argue. Last time, the meeting complained that the Juti Mansion produced too few cheap iron tools, which affected overseas trade. The Juti Mansion pointed out that the military armor in the mansion was piled up and could not be sold at all. This time, Lan Yin was dissatisfied with the steam engine that built the mansion.

When Lan Yin mentioned that "Fao wants a horse", the ministers couldn't help laughing, and Xiong Jing laughed, and he was filled with cheerful laughter. Then "Fao wants a horse" was a gimmick. It was okay to walk around the ground with a broken thing, but when he came out of Yingdu, he couldn't get up.

It would be fine if you couldn't get up, but the crank that drove the wheel was not strong enough. With a tight sound, the crank suddenly broke. Although the broken crank did not hurt anyone, it cracked the cylinder and white steam poured out. The onlookers were frightened and were in panic. Some people even jumped into Huai River.

The next day, this incident was in the news of the Great Chu, and the Zaofu made a mess. Before the Zaofu, Xiong Jing once explained that the giant iron pipe had not been solved, so don’t think about high-pressure steam; without high-pressure steam, don’t think about ‘I want horses’. The thrust is equal to the pressure multiplied by the area. The area is determined by the size of the cylinder. Although Zaofu has a boring machine, the cylinder cannot be made too large. Since the area of ​​the stress is limited, it can only rely on the steam pressure.

Not to mention that the Zaofu is still using a slightly improved Newko portal steam engine. Even the watt steam engine has a pressure of less than one atmosphere, only 10.5 pounds per square inch (one atmosphere is about 14.6 pounds per square inch). Although Xiong Jing doesn't know such detailed data, he knows that it is not a high-pressure steam engine, a steam car or a train that cannot be achieved.

"It's not feasible today, but it's sure to be feasible next day." Xiong Jing didn't expect that Yin Dao was too embarrassed and relieved him. He turned to Lan Yin: "How many steam engines are needed?"

"A hundred pieces are not stopped." Lan Yin said. "The steam machine cannot be operated by itself. One piece is required for two miles, and one piece is only 200 miles. The more wood logs, the closer you enter the mountain, the more you need. In addition to the machine, there is not enough coal. A machine consumes more than four hundred kilograms of coal per day, and a hundred machines exceeds ten tons."

"When will Lan Yin give Lan Yin a hundred steam engines?" Xiong Jing looked at Gong Yin Dao. This was his business.
