In the courtyard, as Meiyin jingled and clanked, the railway tracks were laid.
It was laid exactly according to the train tracks he remembered in later generations.
There are sleepers and rails and other things.
There is no lack of anything that should be there.
At this time, Mei Yin had already pushed the completed steam train model out of the shed.
Got it on this track.
Not only that, they also built a water-heating stove and placed it on the locomotive.
The stove was lit with briquettes, and a kettle was placed on the stove.
Not long after, the kettle was boiled by the coal stove below.
White gas began to come out.
The coal stove and the corresponding briquettes have been produced.
Of course, he didn't do this with his own hands.
Instead, he gave some corresponding tips and asked his craftsmen to make it.
By now, Merlin has cultivated a lot of talented people.
He only needs to explain many things and he can guide them to do them.
Even some of them don't need to be discussed at all.
They can also innovate and come up with it themselves.
Princess Ning Guo didn't find anything surprising about these things.
After all, my husband will come up with some rather incredible things.
But what happened next really surprised her for a moment.
I really can't think of it.
Because her husband actually grabbed two pigs directly from the pig pen.
Moreover, the pig's limbs were tied up and placed on top of the car.
The first one is placed on the front of the locomotive, and the other one is placed on the carriage behind the car.
I heard the pig grunting and screaming, even though its limbs were tied, it was not too honest and moved around.
Princess Ningguo was worried for a moment that the pigs placed on the locomotive might accidentally knock over the stove and spill the boiling water on it, scalding the pigs...
While Princess Ning Guo was dumbfounded, Mei Yin pushed the steam train model and began to circle around here along the railway track.
The pigs grunted on it, and there was a stove in front.
Water is still boiling on the stove, which has a strange shape.
Even Princess Ning Guo has long been accustomed to her husband being unique in many things.
But at this time, after seeing this, I still felt shocked.
No...my husband, what...are you doing?
This thing is too shocking and unexpected, right?
You really can do anything!
However, after thinking about it for a while, Princess Ning Guo turned her attention to the railway tracks laid by Mei Yin and the wheels made of steel.
There were some new discoveries.
Such steel rails, coupled with wheels also made of solid steel, make it much easier to push than an ordinary car.
This is indeed a good idea.
However, thinking about it like this, she still had some doubts in her heart.
That is, what method should my husband use to make this car move forward on its own?
Nowadays, the car can move, but it all depends on the husband pushing the car here
She couldn't figure this out no matter how hard she tried.
Moreover, both rails and wheels are expensive to build.
Moreover, it is not made of ordinary steel, it needs to be specially made.
This thing is really not cheap at all.
Not to mention whether my husband will be able to get a car like this that he can drive by himself in the future.
Even if it can really be produced, the cost alone will not be much at all.
Because she has already seen that this kind of car cannot travel on ordinary roads.
If it is actually built in the future, it will be necessary to specially lay this kind of road paved with steel.
Don't mention how expensive it is to build this kind of road.
Don’t mention how much more it will cost.
It's okay if the distance is short, but if you want to spread it all over the country.
I don’t know how much money is needed now.
Even more, it's not just a matter of money.
But in the Ming Dynasty itself, steel is not enough!
Steel is a good thing.
It is needed in many important places.
Especially after men invented the construction method of cement and steel bars, the demand for steel will be greater.
If you really want to lay such roads all over the country in the future, the steel needed will be lost in the sea!
This is not just something that can be solved with money.
Even if you have money, you can't get so much steel.
After thinking so worriedly for a while, Princess Ning Guo shook her head again and smiled.
Take back this thought so that you don't have to think about it anymore.
My husband can't even make a cart without an ox-drawn horse, so naturally it will be even more impossible to promote it throughout the Ming Dynasty.
There is absolutely no need for me to worry about anything at this time.
I will definitely win this bet.
In other matters, Princess Ningguo trusted her husband very much.
I know that my husband has always been reliable.
However, this time, she didn't believe it at all.
This thing is really too bizarre.
Mei Yin paid no attention to it and just pushed the steam train model with the pigs in it, around and around, tirelessly pushing it around.
For a moment, it looked a bit like an old donkey pulling a wheel.
And he can also understand what his little wife is thinking in her heart at this time.
He didn't find it strange at all that his daughter-in-law would think so.
Too normal.
After all, what he said was far beyond the understanding of people of this era.
It is normal for a young daughter-in-law to have such thoughts.
Not to mention his own little daughter-in-law, even he was a little confused about this matter.
After all, what I am doing at this time is really using the pig to rub hard, and the reward of feeding the pig will make it stronger.
The likelihood of success is really slim.
But, besides doing this now, he has no other good solution...
"Husband, take a rest and stop thinking about it. This thing cannot be figured out in a short while.
You made me dizzy. ”
An hour later, Princess Ning Guo couldn't help but speak out and said to Mei Yin.
By now, Princess Ningguo has become accustomed to her husband thinking when he is feeding pigs or doing something related to pigs.
And I found that my husband’s thinking often becomes more active if he can be with pigs on many things.
There are many times when you can think of something better.
But this time, even if he knew that his husband was thinking with the help of these pigs.
Princess Ningguo still tried to persuade her husband to take a rest.
After all, what my husband was thinking about this time was different from others.
After hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Mei Yin also stopped doing this.
He let the pig down, untied the rope, and put it back into the pig pen.
These two pigs were simply pardoned. After arriving at the pigsty, he immediately ran to eat.
Even when he saw Mei Yin, he unconsciously hid inside.
It can be seen how much psychological damage Mei Yin's behavior just caused to the pig.
Mei Yin pushed the car model back under the shed.
End of today’s efforts
Mei Yin was not surprised at all that there was no result this time.
The reward that makes you stronger by feeding pigs is inherently uncertain.
Not that easy to touch.
Not to mention, what he wanted to do at this time was a steam train that had nothing to do with feeding pigs.
Then the possibility of success becomes even smaller.
He didn't think that he would be able to explode in character, become stronger by feeding pigs, and get this reward.
It is normal that it cannot be triggered for the first time. If it is really triggered for the first time, it is normal.
That's not normal.
Mei Yin is ready for a protracted war...
In the following days, Mei Yin would spend an hour every day pushing the pig in circles in the yard.
Rain or shine.
Time passed like this day by day.
And in this process, many things are happening.
For example, it’s a new year and spring plowing has begun.
Here in Meiyin, we have worked hard to get out the numerous sweet potatoes.
Start raising seedlings.
Get ready for a big fight!
Not only here in Mei Yin, but also in several other places, the specially set up sweet potato production bases ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang also began to breed seedlings under the technical guidance of Mei Yin and others.
Prepare to expand the sweet potato planting area quickly.
According to the calculations made by Mei Yin and others, and with reference to past experience, they believe that the sweet potato planting area in Ming Dynasty this year can reach 800,000 acres!
This is the terrifying reproductive ability of sweet potatoes.
A sweet potato buried in the ground can sprout many sprouts from above.
On average, one sweet potato can grow hundreds of buds, which is no problem.
And these, after transplantation, are hundreds of sweet potato plants.
And these planted sweet potatoes are growing.
They also cut the vines from above and planted them in the ground.
One sweet potato plant can reproduce many sweet potato plants.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang paid special attention to the expansion of sweet potato planting.
Therefore, we are going all out to promote the cultivation of this sweet potato.
Except for a very small part of the sweet potatoes I got last year, I was reluctant to eat the rest.
All of them were put into the sweet potato cellar to save seeds.
Just to promote it quickly.
Therefore, under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the sweet potato planting area this year can reach at least 800,000 acres.
According to this situation, there will be another three years.
It is enough to promote sweet potatoes to the north and south of the Ming Dynasty!
Sweet potatoes will become a new important food in Ming Dynasty!
When sweet potatoes are planted this year, they are no longer all planted by the government.
Sweet potato seedlings and some vines from sweet potato fields will also be taken out, and the government will come forward to distribute them to some surrounding people.
Let the people plant in their own fields.
Each household has only twenty plants, no more.
Even though there are only twenty plants, as long as they take good care of them.
In two or three years, they will produce enough sweet potatoes to grow themselves.
There is even enough energy left over to be planted by other acquaintances.
This is what Mei Yin came up with.
The promotion of sweet potato cultivation cannot rely solely on the efforts of the government.
At the same time, the common people should also contribute together.
Only in this way can the planting of sweet potatoes be promoted faster.
Moreover, by now, many people have already heard of the high yield of sweet potatoes.
It made many people feel itchy in their hearts.
I can't wait for a long time, I want to get some sweet potatoes as soon as possible and plant them.
Under such circumstances, the government distributed some corresponding sweet potato seedlings to the people.
Don't worry, the common people will destroy the sweet potato seedlings.
I'm sure both of them will cherish it and plant it carefully.
Except for a few, of course.
Moreover, at the beginning, only twenty sweet potato seedlings were distributed to each family, which was also very conducive to the people's planting.
They don’t need to take up too much farmland.
You only need to plant them in corners and corners of the field.
In the future, when they harvest for the first time, they will be able to feel for themselves how big the yield of sweet potatoes is.
After seeing the super high yield, I will definitely pay more attention to sweet potatoes.
Will cherish it very much
Then, when planting sweet potatoes next, you will become more careful.
Very conducive to the promotion of sweet potatoes.
Facts speak louder than words!
They grew and harvested the sweet potatoes themselves.
After seeing this ultra-high output, it is definitely more convincing than what others have told them.
So after the beginning of spring, Meiyin side. Including Zhu Yuanzhang, many people were working hard to prepare for this matter.
Not only sweet potatoes, but also corn were prepared early and started to be planted in batches.
This time, all the corn harvested last time was saved for making that kind of seed.
This time, we will not only plant early corn, but also leave some to plant summer corn and autumn corn.
This is to facilitate a better inspection of its habits.
As for peppers and other things, they were also planted early.
It can be said that everything is prosperous and full of spring now.
While Mei Yin was enjoying being busy and enjoying the spring scenery, she was not idle either.
In addition to pushing the pigs along the railway track in the yard, he also feeds the pigs every day.
There I was thinking about when I could trigger feeding pigs to become stronger, and get potatoes and so on.
Even things like rubber.
These are all more important than the last.
It's something basic.
Now that we have sweet potatoes and corn, if we can get potatoes out again and promote them.
Then the agricultural foundation of Ming Dynasty will be fully developed in the future.
It can establish a solid foundation for the commercialization and industrialization process.
And when Mei Yin and the others were so busy.
The news that not a single member of the envoy was killed spread to the Japanese country, giving the Japanese country a big surprise!
