(I have been very diligent in updating these days. I updated 10,000 words the day before yesterday, 8,000 words yesterday, and 6,500 words today. Please vote for me)

The next day, Liu Shidu wrote a special letter and submitted it to Lin Fu's case in front of Lin Fu's case.

Lin Mengde, Gao Zongting and others all have different opinions on this:

Not to mention the demand for labor in emerging industries, the war is not over yet, and no one knows how many lives will be lost in the brutal war.

Jingxiang, Henan and other places are almost uninhabited for thousands of miles; the population of Yanji, Guanzhong, Jinzhong, Liangchuan and other places that will be recovered in the future has dropped significantly due to the continuous war; Yanhu must be completely suppressed and no longer become a border trouble

, the Liangliao area must become a central and directly governed county, and a large number of Han people need to be moved to fill it.

The development status of Guangnan, Yizhou, Qiongzhou and the large tracts of land in the southwest is relatively backward; if you want to further develop and strengthen your rule, the most important resource is population.

The area under the jurisdiction of the Jeju Governor's Office is no more than two counties, and 150,000 people have moved in one after another, especially the shortage; the Southeast Asian colonization has just begun, and Sun Sizong has just established the Luga Governor's Office on Luga Island, while in Johor

Permanent settlements have just been established on the Guopu Dan Peninsula. These three places require at least another 100,000 and 200,000 people to be moved there and filled in.

Using the two points of Luqa and Putan to penetrate into the peripheral Southeast Asian countries, more people will be needed.

What's more, the Nanyang route will continue to extend westward and southward. It is also unpredictable whether a large-scale war will break out with the Chiduo Dynasty in the future during the colonization of Nanyang...

The attitude of Lin Mengde, Gao Zongting and others is that now they are worried about insufficient manpower, so how can they worry about overpopulation?

Furthermore, the high proportion of net population increase in the Huaidong region was the beginning of the New Deal's prosperity. It was naturally too disgraceful for Liu Shidu to raise the concern of overpopulation at this time.

After all, Gao Zongting belonged to the military, and it was inconvenient for him to interfere too deeply in the affairs of the Privy Council. If he had any different opinions, he would keep silent.

In front of Lin Fu, Lin Mengde argued with Liu Shidu.

Wu Qi, Ge Cunxin, Yang Shi, Luo Yicheng and others could not say anything about this kind of thing. They could only watch the two of them arguing in front of the hall, and no one could convince the other.

Lin Fu could imagine that after returning from watching the performance the day before yesterday, Liu Shidu should have argued with Lin Mengde and Gao Zongting about this issue, but they didn't accept their opinions, so they bypassed Lin Mengde and Gao Zongting and came to him directly.

"Okay," Lin Fu, holding the long case with his hands, interrupted the argument between Lin Mengde and Liu Shidu, and said, "What you said makes sense, and there is actually no contradiction. It's just that you can't calm down and listen to the other party speak properly.

, political disagreements, and political disputes arise from this. However, when governing a country, you must consider the good aspects, and you must also consider the bad aspects. In this way, I give all of you who are involved in political affairs and military ministers a privilege: you

Even if the submitted statement is inconsistent with my opinion, you still have the right to submit it to the government meeting for full discussion. In this case, please refer to the matter of establishing a direct descendant. However, you are all ministers at the level of assistant minister, so don't do it for a little bit.

Disagreement in opinions creates a gap in the mind..."

Lin Fu's words pointed directly at the party struggle, and he was very sharp; Lin Mengde hurriedly explained: "Shidu is also worried about serving the public, and I know it in my heart."

"Yes, there are big deficiencies in Dingkou right now. It is a good thing that there is a net increase in Dingkou in Huaidong," Lin Fu said, "But running the country should be considered for a century. Within three to fifty years, we need a high proportion of Dingkou

But after 30 to 50 years, is this high proportion of net growth still appropriate? You all have to consider it. "Governing a big country is like cooking small things." You can't treat your headache at this time.

Fifty years later, I will have a headache again." Lin Fu handed Liu Shidu's special letter to Lin Mengde and said, "You will write down my words on Liu Gong's special letter and bring it back to Jiangning to deliver the details of the council meeting to the government.

Read; I will go back to Jiangning around the Chinese New Year, and then I will ask Mr. Liu to go to Jiangning to discuss this matter..."

Lin Mengde and Gao Zongting looked at each other: Lin Fu was sure that there was a huge need for Dingkou at the moment, but at the same time he wanted them to worry about the country for a hundred years, which was equivalent to confirming Liu Shidu's opinion at the same time...

Lin Mengde indeed had not considered what would happen forty, fifty or even a hundred years later. He stopped arguing immediately and said: "My considerations are indeed insufficient. I will read the special letter from the teacher carefully."

"Okay," Lin Fu waved his hand and said, "You and Mr. Liu are leaving Haizhou today, so let's all stay and have a banquet. We will make an exception at noon. Open two jars of good wine. Just don't get drunk..."

It is said that one wants to put aside political affairs and have a farewell drink, but the purpose of running a country is to unveil the prelude to a new empire. There are hundreds of wastes waiting to be built, and everything is complicated. How can there be room for everyone to have a drink in peace?

When it comes to grain reserves, Liu Shidu and Lin Mengde have different opinions.

Whether it was Zhao Chen or Yuan Yue in the previous dynasty, in order to ensure the food security of the capital, the capital camp army and the frontier army, a large-scale official warehouse system would be established. Huang Jinnian, who was appointed as the governor of East Fujian at this time, had previously served as the right minister of the household department.

He also serves as the general envoy of the Gyeonggi Cangchang and is the head of the Yanjing official warehouse system.

The Gyeonggi Warehouse's annual grain reserves amounted to three to five million dan. However, during the Chongguan Period, the central government's finances collapsed and the Gyeonggi Warehouse's grain storage capacity decreased year by year. As a result, it was unable to withstand a series of natural disasters and wars that occurred after the Chongguan Year 9.

Although Jiangning is located in a land of fish and rice, with sufficient peripheral food sources, the official warehouse system must be established, otherwise an occasional flood in the Yangtze River basin could destroy the entire empire.

After Jiangning was captured by Shejia, although the Huaidong Army regained Jiangning, the originally weak official warehouses in Jiangning were completely destroyed by Shejia. In the later period, Huaidong Army's military warehouses temporarily replaced official warehouses for emergencies.

At present, Lin Fu is separating the military and political affairs of the Huaidong system. Military warehouses are only for military grain storage and cannot be expanded without limit. Official warehouses serve as national grain reserves and were officially established by Zhidusi after the government came to power.

The official warehouse in Jiangning only started to absorb reserves during the summer and autumn grain season this year, and only one million stone grains were stored at this time. When there is a severe drought in western Zhejiang, two million stone grain grains are transferred from the surrounding counties, and the official warehouse stores one million stone grains.

The amount of food is obviously far from enough.

Lin Mengde wants to increase the purchase of rice grains from Jianghuai, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places next year, and increase the total grain storage capacity in official warehouses and military warehouses to 8 million shi. Only with this kind of grain storage capacity can we cope with the next

The Northern Expedition and unforeseen droughts and floods.

At this time, Liu Shidu served as Jianghuai Propaganda Envoy and was very aware of the situation in Jianghuai.

Over the years, Lin Fu has transferred a large amount of grain and grass from the Jianghuai region to support the peripheral areas of Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi and the two lakes. In fact, the private grain stocks in the Jianghuai region have always been at an extremely low level.

Liu Shidu is also worried about the severe drought in western Zhejiang. He is worried that once a severe drought or flood occurs in the Jianghuai region, involving tens of millions of people, central relief may not be timely and effective. It is also necessary to ensure that the private sector has a certain amount of grain reserves, Liu Shidu

It is hoped that the central government will slow down the purchase of rice and grain in the Jianghuai region and reduce the grain storage capacity of 8 million shi by two levels.

"It's a good thing to have disputes on official matters. The more thorough the discussion, the less likely it will be a problem in the future." The entire rice storage plan involved complex estimates. Lin Fu suddenly didn't know Liu Shidu and Lin Mengde.

Whose opinion is more correct, but he encouraged as much discussion as possible at the beginning of the matter, saying, "In the past, there was no way to transfer rice grains from Jianghuai. A large number of people starved to death in Jiangning, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Lianghu and other places.

Now, I can’t calmly consider the Jianghuai region’s buffering capacity against drought and flood disasters. Fortunately, there have been no major problems in the Jianghuai area in the past two or three years. Now let’s relax. This issue needs to be considered as a whole..."

Speaking of this, Lin Fu said to Lin Mengde: "You pick a place for me in Jiangning. I will set up a museum in Haizhou. After a while, I will also set up several more museums in Jiangning, Chongzhou and other places.

Office. Ge Siyu, Jiang Yue, Song Shixian and Zhao Shuhan exchanged letters and discussed for several months. They thought it was necessary to establish natural history as a basic branch of the new study. I want to help them build this museum..."

"I will remember," Lin Mengde said, "when I left Jiangning, Song and Jiang came to see me specifically about this matter. If the inner government can allocate a sum of silver dollars, the pressure on Zhidusi will be less..."

Lin Fu shook his head and smiled.

Lin Fu proposed New Interpretation of Confucianism in order to ease the conflict between the new school and the old school. The establishment of the new school system was also repeatedly discussed by Jiang Yue, Song Shixian, Ge Siyu and Zhao Shuhan in Jeju and other new school masters.

.

The preliminary opinion at present is to divide the new subjects into five categories: physical science, natural history, arithmetic and measurement, geography and astronomy, and medicine.

The New Interpretation of Confucianism, the New Study combines the "investigation of things and knowledge" in the Eight Eyes of Confucianism, and explains "investigation of things" as "investigation of principles and knowledge". The study of things is actually the prototype of physics and chemistry in later generations, and it will transform the world's machinery and engineering.

Traditional miscellaneous studies such as alchemy are included. Arithmetic and measurement, geography, astronomy, and medicine are actually continuing the tradition and integrating overseas miscellaneous studies.

Listing natural history separately, it is actually that as the East China Sea and Southeast Asia routes continue to extend north, south, and west, more and more new things and new species are presented to people, and it is necessary to recognize and learn new things.

Characteristics have become an increasingly urgent need, and this itself contains huge benefits.

The discovery of Borneo kerosene directly changed the situation in which the Central Plains' fuel oil relied almost entirely on edible oil. Since the first barrel of Borneo kerosene arrived in Jeju five years ago and was used in lighthouses, it has been shipped to Chongzhou, Quanzhou and Ming Dynasty this year.

The state's import of Borneo oil has reached 80,000 barrels.

Since Borneo's kerosene production is limited, most of it is now absorbed by Huaidong. The use of Borneo's kerosene has also increased significantly. Nanyang Shipping Company and Colonial Bank plan to bribe the Borneo nobles and directly build large-scale mines in Borneo.

of mining kerosene.

Borneo ash is used by local indigenous people to fertilize their fields and as construction slurry.

After the discovery of these properties of Borneo Mountain ash, it was quickly imported into the Central Plains via sea routes and used to fertilize fields and mix with white ash to build walls.

Borneo ash is actually volcanic ash.

Zhao Zuigui'er, who has been studying construction slurry for half his life, heard about the characteristics of Mount Borneo ash and asked people to bring local volcanic stones to Jiangning two years ago with the intention of building a kiln to calcine the same stones and find ways to artificially produce volcanic ash.

method.

Lin Fu didn't think about what Mount Borneo ash was at first. After all, there are many kinds of natural building slurries. The world had already mastered the technology of calcined lime. He was still hearing about Zhao Zuigui'er's intention to build a cellar and calcine volcanic stone to make volcanic ash.

, Lin Fu realized that Mount Borneo ash is natural cement.

As long as the cage of ideological imprisonment is opened, the continuous discovery and recognition of new things and characteristics will directly promote the development of new learning and new industries.

In the past, Lin Fu knew how useful reinforced concrete was, but he couldn't remember how to bake cement.

On the contrary, Zhao Zuigui'er, who was immersed in traditional architectural craftsmanship at that time, was inspired by the characteristics of new things and began to try to develop a method of calcining cement. However, Zhao Zuigui'er named the imitation volcanic ash as stone slurry.

Zhao Zui Gui'er often got into trouble because of his addiction to alcohol. Later, when he became successful, he was exposed to greed and a strange temper. Except for Lin Fu and Ge Fu, no one could control him, which made other Chongxueguan bachelors not very good.

Wait to see him.

Although Zhao Zuigui'er had profound attainments in the construction craftsmanship of the time, when Chongxue Hall was first established, Lin Fu did not list Zhao Zuigui'er as a bachelor of Chongxue Hall. Instead, it was his pioneering use of calcining.

Lin Fu could only pinch his nose in using the stone slurry method. Regardless of other people's objections, he was included in the list of bachelors of the Chongxue Academy and allowed him to open a academy so that he could use his new skills in construction, craftsmanship and calcining.

Continue to develop and carry forward.

Of course, being able to create the method of calcining stone slurry is also inseparable from the background of the development of the entire Xinxue University.

The performance of the stone slurry that Zhao Zuigui made by calcining it in the kiln at this time was similar to that of Mount Borneo ash, but the requirements for the kiln temperature were extremely high, and the firepower was almost the same as that of the glazed kiln. It required the use of high-quality Shannan coal imported from Goryeo.

Only by reducing the cost of calcination can it be better than transporting Borneo ashes by sea.

Otherwise, even if a new slurry calcining method is discovered, there is no practical possibility at all; just like in the past, colored glaze ware was only a plaything of the wealthy and wealthy families, and would never have the opportunity to enter the homes of ordinary people.

In addition to Borneo oil, Borneo mountain ash and local gold, silver, copper and tin, etc. being transported back to the Central Plains, Jianghuai and other places also have a particularly large demand for another Nanyang specialty, which is abaca produced in Johor.

The Central Plains have used hemp to make clothes, nets, and ropes for thousands of years. However, the hemp crops produced in the Central Plains are not corrosion-resistant and perishable. "Three days to fish, two days to dry the nets" does not originally mean fishing.

People are lazy, and hemp fishing nets rot very quickly if they are not dried in time after being soaked in water.

During offshore fishing and navigation, the rotting problem of hemp fishing nets and hemp ropes becomes more acute and prominent.
