In fact, there are many ways to preserve food across the equator in Beiyang, and it is not just the only way to freeze.

Before Zhao Shizhen set out on his itinerary, the fleet sent by Majiagang had already arrived at Changsheng by wind and waves. Four big blessed ships and seventeen sloops built in Majiagang were carried to the port with countless small-mouthed pottery jars.

"The magistrate Zhao Yongxian told me that Majiagang is self-sufficient this year." Chen Mu stood on the windowsill facing the coast with a letter, looking at the long crane-winged ship docked at the port terminal, and an indescribable complex smile appeared on his face: "Majiagang is self-sufficient!"

Aimu of Jie County is not self-sufficient yet. A few days ago, he sent a letter saying that after exploration, the land at the mouth of the river where Jiebei County was established was called the "Gulf of California" by the Westerners. The land at the mouth of the river was extremely fertile and similar to the geology of the Yangtze River estuary. It is said that if you want to cultivate a large amount of cultivation, you will surely ensure that nearly 10,000 people in Jie County will be self-sufficient in the next year.

This is great. The weather is cold and the ground in Majiagang is already self-sufficient.

Twenty-one ships from Majiagang transported goods are all kimchi jars when they arrive at the port, but they are not kimchi, but more than 4,400 jars of sealed beef, each three kilograms, they are first marinated with salt, pepper and other spices and sealed.

It is said that as long as the cauldron is not opened, it can be released.

These beefs were sent to Changsheng by Zhao Yongxian for the garrison to eat, and they did not change the food. Earlier, the fleet passed by Jincheng, and exchanged for forty walrus tusks and five hundred canned venisons for grains and beans. Before the winter began, people also drove twenty pigs and twenty sheep to Majiagang.

And he used canned food to pay for the tanning cost of 700 pairs of leather sheets.

Zou Yuanbiao in the yamen was worried, and his hands were like ADHD. He moved this and that for a while. Finally, he walked around the house for a few times and sighed. He held it in a long time before asking Chen Mu: "Master General, you said that County Magistrate Zhao taught people to transport such beef jars, and he didn't ask me to change things. Should I give him something?"

"Magistrate Zou, correct your mistake. Although those beef jars were unloaded at Changsheng Port, they were not given to you Changsheng County, but to the Dongyang Military Palace. Do you understand this difference? In short - what does it have to do with you?"

Zou Yuanbiao was suddenly stunned, but then he became even more worried about gains and losses. He looked very scared. Chen Mushi opened his mouth and asked carefully: "Then should the official give something to the military government office?"

Changsheng has indeed been self-sufficient for a long time. Not only is he self-sufficient, Zou Yuanbiao also dares to guarantee that the people live much better than Majiagang, but what can he give? Changsheng really has no product that can be shown.

As he said that, Magistrate Zou's little eyes looked at Zhao Shizhen, who was sitting upright while holding his hands to welcome the long holiday.

"Or, how many water pumps should be sent to the military office?"

The water pump that Zou Yuanbiao mentioned is not a steam pump, but an old object in the Beiyang Military Camp water room, and a hand-pressure water pump.

Zhao Shizhen, who has applied what he has learned, put this thing in his mind and brought it to the New World. The victorious Dongyang Military Administration and Military Weapon Bureau departments have just begun to establish, and the personal and civil servants have long complained about it, asking Zhao Shizhen to quickly pour out the structure of this thing from his mind.

Regardless of whether it is the personal soldiers or the flag army, they use hand-pressure water pumps in Beiyang. When they come here, they have started their foundation. Digging a water well is also the old profession of the engineering battalion. It is nothing, but over time, who would not complain if he keeps water tired all day long?

Not to mention that the county magistrate Zou ran all day long, and the military government office ran from both ends. The more people came, the more they felt that the flag soldiers who lived in the Beiyang camp knew more. In the past, those who worked in the six ministries had become rural people, and they paid the most attention to these living facilities.

Look, today, it was not only because the ship came to Majiagang to deliver goods, but when he was talking, he turned around and urged Zhao Shizhen: "Changji, don't forget to write the water pressure before leaving, and send it to the Military Weapon Bureau. This is a hundred thousand people who win the people, but you are waiting!"

"If you know, you will almost finish writing. It's just that simple thing. You, Magistrate Zou, made it and you, have to write it."

Zhao Shizhen was impatient. It took more than half a year to wander on the sea. When he came back, he might not have made it happen. The fourth phase of Beiyang was here, so he didn't think it was a vacation.

"Panama said that my adoptive father was exploring the waters along the lake. I haven't left for half a month, so you just wait for me to compile the book for you."

Zhao Shizhen's father-in-law was naturally Xu Zhenming, who was digging a canal to feed mosquitoes in Panama. After calmly accepting that he was about to become the first person who successfully brought raw meat across the equator, the small unit had only one requirement, that is, he would not give him work for a while later. When Xu Zhenming rested in Panama, he would set off, stay in Panama for a few days, and then set off.

Deng Zilong had already started preparing ships and escort escorts for him there.

"Write it, you will be Zhao Changji where there is a water pressure pump in the future. This is a good thing to leave a name in history." Chen Mu smiled and turned to look at Zou Yuanbiao: "What, are you planning to press the water pump for our military office?"

"Note, not only the military government offices, but also various military camps. It is best to bring two in each battalion in the future with the military carriages and supplies."

Zou Yuanbiao looked serious and said with certainty: "When Changji's water pressure writing is written, take it to the Military Weapon Bureau and do it. Once it is done, install it to the Military Government Office. The officials heard that the water pump can cover the ground and prevent people from poisoning."

Chen Mu laughed out loud when he heard this. This was obviously a saying by a scholar who had never led his troops to fight. Not to mention that when the well was not in use, it had to be covered with stone trays and car boards. There was a thing about night in military regulations. Just when the night was at night, the night soldiers surrounded the tents around the well, and there was a large camp outside. It was really possible for people to touch the well. Arson was better than poisoning.

What's more, if you really have such a low alert ability, it is more appropriate to attack directly at night.

However, he nodded and praised: "It is a good thing to say, it is a good thing to like using your brain and research, especially good. Do you know why the more prosperous the economy is, the slower the technology progresses? It is because people who are too lazy to use their brains to spend time researching. People who master knowledge and power often do not need to enjoy the conditions for progress brought by technology."

Chen Mu said this to himself. He hadn't fed water by himself for many years. Whether there was a water pump had no effect on his daily life, nor could he notice it at all. Such days would even bring him a ridiculous illusion after being too long.

It seems that water can flow from the well into the tank by itself, then flow from the tank into the basin every morning, and finally fly to the basin rack in the inner room of the yamen.

Do you know what is the most amazing thing? After washing your face, the basin will leave by itself, and replace it with a basin of clean water and lie quietly as if you have never washed your face.

"It just so happened that the past few days, let's write books together, and I have to use my brain."
