Zhang Zhun nodded and followed Liu Rushi inadvertently. She saw her graceful figure. As her steps moved, her slender waist twisted like a weak willow whirling. The two round buttocks under her waist were tightly wrapped by a green skirt that suddenly closed, revealing a sturdy and perfect buttock shape. She twisted and swayed rhythmically with the swaying of her slender waist. When people saw her back, their eyes would involuntarily move down.

It seemed that he could notice Zhang Zhun's gaze, and the frequency of Liu Rushi's waist and hip twisting seemed to have slightly faster. The beautiful legs with vaguely identifiable shape alternated forward and backward, and they were even more swaying. The whole person was like a proud blooming flower, floating forward slowly. I have to admit that as long as I was attached to the brothel, I would learn some skills to charm men. Even Liu Rushi was no exception.

Chen Lingfei's eyes shone, as if she was very proud, and said ambiguously: "How is it? Do you feel like you are immediately putting her into your private room? If you have flowers, you must be broken, don't wait for the flowers to break branches! Jiangnan doesn't know how many romantic talents there are. I want to stay with her for a romantic stay, but the price offered by Qingfeng Pavilion is really a bit high, and they can't afford that price."

Zhang Zhun said casually: "Didn't you say she is not selling her own skills?"

Chen Lingfei shook her head disdainfully and said coldly: "The reason why she doesn't sell her skills is because the price is not enough! If she doesn't sell her, how can I help you buy her? The most direct way of showing sincerity is how much money! As long as you have money, there is no woman you can't buy!"

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "It makes sense."

Chen Lingfei turned to look at him, looking speechless. She said passionately for a long time, but he didn't react at all. The words were repeated over and over again, and the number of words was getting smaller and smaller. Will you die if you say a few more words? She couldn't help saying, "Do you feel uncomfortable in your throat?"

Zhang Zhun replied to the question, "You have something to do?"

Seeing that Zhang Zhun was unmoved, Chen Lingfei was immediately bored and said lazily: "You don't want beauty. I don't think about other things, so I'm too lazy to tell you."

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "You said."

Chen Lingfei said listlessly: "I have brought the messy things like corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and potatoes... Well, from now on, it is your corn, your sweet potatoes, and your potatoes..."

Zhang Zhun laughed, interrupted her sarcastic speech, and said with a smile: "Chen Lingfei, what are you talking about? What do you mean, mine, mine, are there anything you are talking nonsense like this? If you continue, even you are mine!"

Chen Lingfei rolled her eyes helplessly, and her cheeks were not shy at all. It seemed that Zhang Zhun was making fun of her. She was completely immune. She said seriously: "Tsk, I am not yours! Isn't it? Your woman, your corn, your sweet potatoes, your potatoes..."

Zhang Zhun interrupted her again and said impatiently: "Let's go and see these treasures you bring!"

Chen Lingfei said in surprise: "Baby?"

Zhang Zhun habitually held her hand and said anxiously: "Stop pulling it, go quickly!"

Chen Lingfei's hand was unconsciously pulled by him, and her heart suddenly jumped unscrupulously. She wanted to break free from Zhang Zhun's hand, but she was a little reluctant. She felt a very strange feeling when she was held by Zhang Zhun's hand. It was this hand, with powerful power, which could bring her a huge sense of security. If she let go of this hand, she would feel her weakness and helplessness.

She has left the Shen family in Suzhou and can no longer rely on the power of the Shen family. Now, the only thing she can rely on is Zhang Zhun's power. The familiar Jiangnan has become very strange now. There have been too many changes in the people and things there. She is willing to stay in Fushan City and is unwilling to return to Jiangnan. In the final analysis, she is still worshipping this kind of reliance.

"Zhang Zhun, can you tell me why you value these things so much?"

On the way, Chen Lingfei asked curiously.

"When you go hungry, you will naturally understand."

Zhang Zhun answered casually.

"Hungry?"

Chen Lingfei still doesn't quite understand.

Well, the eldest lady of the Shen family is a golden branch and jade leaf. She was born with a golden key in her childhood. She has always been dressed in fine clothes and food. She wore the best cloth produced in Jinxiu Village. She ate the food from Tianyifang, and had a large group of maids and maids around her. She had never suffered hardship or hunger, but she had only suffered a little grievance recently. Of course, she could not understand what Zhang Zhun said.

This time, Chen Lingfei asked Sisi to bring from Jiangnan, not only Liu Rushi. To be precise, Sisi brought a boat of things this time, including a large number of seeds and hundreds of farmers. They were all corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and other seeds needed by Zhang Zhun, as well as corresponding farmers, all of them were sent here this time. Chen Lingfei did his best to do his best in doing his business.

After Zhang Zhun looked carefully, he was indeed the common crops in later generations. Although some crops look a little strange, they seem to be somewhat different from those in later generations. It should be that later generations have undergone continuous improvements and their appearance and shape have undergone relatively large changes. Through understanding from farmers' accounts, Zhang Zhun learned that in fact, the yields of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes in this era are still far different from those in later generations.

For example, the highest yield of corn in later generations could reach about 2,000 kilograms per mu, but only less than 500 kilograms this year. The yield of sweet potatoes in later generations could reach 3,000 kilograms per mu, but only 5,000 kilograms per mu. The yield of potatoes is even smaller, only 3,000 kilograms per mu. Fortunately, these crops are better than not occupying land, and can grow on hills and mountains, without competing for space with rice and wheat. Otherwise, no one would have planted them long ago.

At the same time, it may be due to taste. Most people are not used to eating corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes. Therefore, no one regards these crops as staple foods and is used for rotation. The corn and sweet potatoes grown are mainly used to feed poultry and livestock. These mixed grains will only be eaten unless there is no rice and flour.

In fact, in the Jiangnan region at that time, the people were better than in the north. Especially in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, they were always relatively wealthy areas. The chaos in northern Shaanxi and the rampant Tartars did not affect the place. Corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. were introduced here, and the promotion of local people was not very active because there was no demand. In fact, in the late Wanli period, crops such as corn and sweet potatoes appeared in Fujian, but they were never promoted.

However, in Shandong, the entire north, it is different. The continuous drought will seriously affect the growth of rice and wheat. If these drought-resistant crops are vigorously promoted at this time, it can greatly increase grain yield and fill the stomachs of hungry people. Even after eating Guanyin soil, will you still consider the taste of these mixed grains?

Chen Lingfei followed Zhang Zhun, wondering. Judging from Zhang Zhun's concentration, she seemed to have really picked up a treasure. Looking at Zhang Zhun's expression, she knew that the weight of these things in his mind was obviously higher than that of Liu Rushi. Could it be that these miscellaneous things are really more valuable than the beauty who costs 8,000 taels of silver?

Suddenly, Zhang Zhun couldn't help but look at Chen Lingfei.

Chen Lingfei's face turned red for no reason, and she didn't know where she was thinking. She said unnaturally: "Look at what I do?"

Zhang Zhun said seriously: "I don't worry if you do things."

Hearing Zhang Zhun praise him, Chen Lingfei breathed a sigh of relief. The blush on her face gradually dissipated, and she said coquettishly: "I don't want your praise, just don't hit me."

Zhang Zhun nodded with a smile.

Chen Lingfei pouted and wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it in the end. She was afraid that she would accidentally say the wrong thing and destroy her good impression in Zhang Zhun's mind. She suddenly realized that she actually cared about her image in front of him. If he was a little dissatisfied, she would have to worry for a long time.

Zhang Zhun immediately instructed that all crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and corresponding farmers would be arranged to Fushan City and handed them over to Wang Mingyu and Laotiantou, so that the Agricultural Science Department would come forward to promote the planting of these crops as soon as possible. Generally speaking, new crops should be promoted experimentally to make safe plans. However, the situation was urgent, Zhang Zhun canceled this step.

The weather in Shandong is getting drier and drought. According to Zhang Zhun's memory, there should be no rain in the future. If the water resources stored in Laoshan are dry, I don't know if the rice can be continued to be promoted. Even if it can be continued to be promoted, the yield may also decrease. At that time, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes will become only grain types. The original fields need to be sown, and those mountains that cannot be reclaimed into fields must also be sown. Anyway, as long as there is an open space, all of them will be planted.

At the same time, the Agricultural Science Department should guide farmers to scientifically use these new crops to rotate crops and improve soil fertility. Whether it is rice or winter wheat, they can only plant one crop every year and cannot be rotated. However, with corn and sweet potatoes, the fields can be fully rotated. After the rice is harvested, one crop of sweet potatoes can be planted. After the wheat is harvested, one crop of corn can be planted. The utilization rate of the land is equal to double.

Even if the corn and sweet potatoes at this time really tasted bad, they could at least be used to feed poultry and livestock, saving rice and flour. Moreover, with more poultry and livestock, there would be more fertilizer for farming. In this era, there was no chemical fertilizer, and farming was mainly fertilized by farming. Relying on the little manure of humans alone was far from enough. Poultry and livestock must be raised in large quantities to have enough farming fertilizer.

After giving the order, Zhang Zhun came to the Navy Council Hall, summoned relevant soldiers, and summarized the experience and lessons of naval battle. When renamed the navy, Zhang Zhun also established a naval command center in Queqiao Bay, with Zhang Zhun serving as commander-in-chief, and Yang Guohua and Zhou Zhengyu serving as deputy commander-in-chief respectively. The Navy headquarters covers a wide area. Anyway, there is idle land near Queqiao Bay.

Because it was the first naval battle, everyone had a lot of experiences and lessons. Everyone spoke very enthusiastically. The three captains, Liu Sheng, Wang He and Cheng Lei, were all straightforward guns and said whatever they had. There were often some topics that seemed to be in a furious situation, which aroused heated discussions.

Through this battle, what everyone felt most deeply was the mutual artillery battle. Compared with the warships of the Dengzhou Navy, the navy's warships were still too small. The number of artillery was not enough. The caliber of the artillery was not large enough. Therefore, everyone put forward some basic requirements for the future development of the navy.

To summarize the future naval development, there are actually only two sentences:

The first sentence: a bigger and stronger boat.

The second sentence: more and larger cannons.

The Cangshan boat is still too small, and it would be fine if it is not hit, but if it is hit, the consequences are still quite serious. The caliber of the flying dragon cannon is not large, only 70 mm, and the lethality is still a little worse. However, if the caliber is too large, the Cangshan boat cannot withstand recoil and must have a larger ship to carry it. Therefore, the development of the ship and the cannon is complementary, and no matter where it leaves, it is not feasible.

In fact, after the end of the naval war, Xue Zhidie and Sun Qinkai began to busy design larger warships and artillery. Zhang Zhun also participated in the formulation of the preliminary plan. It was initially determined that the new generation of warships had a displacement of about 300 tons and was loaded with about 30 dragon cannons. At the same time, several large-caliber (caliber of more than 100 mm) artillery were also required.

The names of the new warships of Brigadier Zhang were confirmed, and they were called "Sword Tooth Ship". He wanted these warships, like sharp swords, like wolf teeth, tore the enemy apart. In order to launch the sword Tooth Ship as soon as possible, Zhang Zhun formed two research groups. One was specialized in researching the hull, and naturally Xue Zhidie led the way. The other was researching large-caliber artillery, and of course Sun Qinkai led the way.

"I want someone, someone!"

"Much, rich!"

"If you want food, you have food!"

Zhang Zhun made a solemn promise to Xue Zhidie and Sun Qinkai.

Despite the sudden harassment of the Dengzhou navy and the two sides collided fiercely on the sea, overall, Zhang Zhun and the government are still in the honeymoon period. Neither the private salt business nor the glass business have been affected for the time being. Therefore, a large amount of silver flowed into Zhang Zhun's controlled area. With silver, it is naturally necessary to convert it into combat power as soon as possible.

Of course, having money is not enough, and talent is needed.

Xue Zhidie and Sun Qinkai alone cannot complete such heavy design and construction work. Therefore, Zhang Zhun generously agreed that as long as the talents they like, they can be transferred to the best possible level. Xue Zhidie is in Jiangnan and knows that many talents related to the shipbuilding industry can be poached through the channels of Shen Lingfei, Guo Mingtai, and Huang Silang.
