Chapter 979 Windmills can be seen everywhere

Su Yan heard Qu Mao persistently asking about the windmill mill, smiled, and said: "My lord, the windmill mill is of great help to the residents in quickly transforming food crops into edible food, so everyone is interested in the construction of the windmill mill." Motivation is very high.

In the Duchy of Tassels, the first batch of 3,000 windmills has been built, and another 12,000 are under construction. The subordinates plan to build more than 50,000 windmills in the Duchy of Tassels. The total number of windmills in the Duchy of Tassels will eventually be There will be more than 200,000 seats.

  Right now, the city lords of the cities in the Tassel Principality are notifying the mayors of the towns and villages to apply for the construction of windmills. It is expected that the construction of 60,000 windmills will be completed by the end of March in the fifth year of Tianxuan.

  My lord, you have traveled all the way from Luanshanhou Kingdom, haven’t you seen windmills everywhere in Tassel Principality? "

Qu Mao thought about it carefully, and said: "Su Yan, although I was rushing on the road from Luanshanhou King's City to Liusu Duke's King's City, but I still have some impressions. You can see the windmill mill, which shows that you have indeed spent a lot of energy on the planning and construction of this area.

  Of course, how many windmills will be built in the Principality of Tassel, I think, will have to be determined according to the number of residents. "

  Su Yan smiled wryly and said: "My lord, how many windmills will be built in the Principality of Tassel, I don't know myself.

After all, the Tassel Principality is a large principality with a population close to 300 million. There are about 150 households for a population of 1,000. According to 150 households and one windmill mill, it is necessary to build 300,000 windmill mills. Considering the factors of urban population and terrain, the final number is 200,000. A windmill is supposed to be built.

  Of course, subordinates will also consider the gold coins and resources in the territory account..."

   Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "Su Yan, you need to consider a lot of issues, but you don't need to think too much about gold coins and resources.

  As long as there is a need for a windmill in the territory of the Tassel Principality, then you can build it vigorously. If the resources and gold coins in the territorial account are not enough, you can just follow me.

  Windmills are very important to me. Simply considering industrial and technological innovation without solving the basic food problem is a tree without roots and water without a source, and there is no possibility of success. "

  Su Yan nodded, and said: "Yes, my lord, this subordinate understands. My lord, you have been traveling all the way, so you should rest early."

  On the evening of August 21st, the fifth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao lived in the palace of Duke Liusu. In fact, Qu Mao didn't take much rest. Instead, he and Su Yan discussed the future development of Yihou territory all night long.

  Information on the research and development of gunpowder in the Principality of Pengda, as well as information on the comprehensive strength of the Principality of Pengda, Su Yan only saw it from Xinping’s report, and did not personally participate in the discussion.

So after the meeting, Qu Mao's gunpowder information and Pengda Principality's information were conveyed to Su Yan repeatedly, hoping that Su Yan would realize the importance of gunpowder. Pengda Principality is researching gunpowder technology, which has formed a very strong oppression on Qu Mao. feel.

  No matter how powerful and how many an army in the era of cold weapons is, it is almost impossible to fight against an army in the era of hot weapons.

Even if the army of hot weapons is only in the early stage of the initial application of firearms, Yihou Territory now seems to have a bright future, with a large number of high-level fighters, but when encountering a troop with muskets, it can only wait in line to be killed. The fate of being shot.

  Even for an eighth-level master-level water magician like Jenny Walter, the effective attack range is no more than 200 meters, and even a musket has a certain lethality within a range of 300 meters.

   Qu Mao naturally didn't want to attack the high-ranking soldiers in Yihou Territory. So after the news of Gunpowder Technology, Qu Mao couldn't wait to get the cheat value even more, so that he could send out more troops to strengthen his strength. In Qu Mao's mind, it could not be later than the end of Tianxuan five years at the latest, otherwise the development of Gunpowder Technology would be slow. The gap will inevitably lead to Yihou Territory never being able to keep up.

   On the morning of February 22nd in the fifth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao ignored the exhaustion of communicating with Su Yan the night before, and continued to set off for King Jierhou City with 300 fifth-tier palace guards replaced from the royal guards of Prince Tassel.

On the afternoon of February 23rd in the fifth year of Tianxuan, Qu Maowu City came directly to King Jierhou's City. On the way to King Jierhou's City, Qu Mao deliberately observed along the way, and sure enough, he found a large number of windmills in the Principality of Tassel. A certain scale has been formed in quantity.

   There are also a large number of windmills in Jierhou Kingdom, but the number is not comparable to that in Tassel Principality.

  Meeting Marquis Yan Songlin in the King Jierhou City, Qu Mao was very polite to Su Yan's uncle, and the two exchanged greetings all the way to King Jierhou's palace.

   After entering the palace, Qu Mao found a separate room, leaving only Marquis Yan Songlin behind, and asked, "Marquis Yan, how is the construction of the windmill in Marquis of Jill now?"

  Marquis Yan Songlin bowed his hands and saluted: "My lord, after receiving the order from Her Majesty Su Yan two weeks ago, my subordinates immediately started the construction task of the windmill in the country of Gilhou.

  In two weeks, 3,000 windmills have been successfully built in Jierhou State, another 5,000 windmills are under construction, and another 3,000 windmills are being selected for construction. "

   Qu Mao nodded and said: "The mission of Jierhou Kingdom has been completed very well, but the construction speed still needs to be accelerated.

  Su Yan is planning to build no less than 200,000 windmills in the Principality of Tassels, and Marquis Zhang Zhiyong is desperately asking me to increase the planned number of windmills in the Marquis of Luanshan..."

  Marquis Yan Songlin smiled wryly and said: "My lord, the Marquis of Gil is only one-sixth of the territory of the Tassel Duchy, and nearly one-tenth of the territory is designated as the exclusive territory of Wucheng and Wucheng Port.

  In addition, the western border of Jierhou State is bordered by Jilihou State, and it is still accepting refugees from Jilihou State, so it is inevitable that the energy of the subordinates will be difficult to concentrate..."

  Qu Mao interrupted the words of Marquis Yan Songlin, and said: "Marquis Yan Songlin, the construction of the windmill mill must be accelerated. This is an infrastructure that is beneficial to the residents of the Marquis of Jill, and it can improve the degree of return and security of residents.

  If Jill Houguo is in trouble, you are Su Yan’s uncle, you can ask Su Yan directly, and the reward for Jillhouguo’s construction of a windmill can be doubled, I agree. "

  Marquis Yan Songlin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My lord, this subordinate vows to complete the task to the death! This subordinate is definitely not asking you for an extra reward."

   Qu Mao smiled and said: "I know, but when I said that Jierhou Kingdom double rewards, I definitely didn't just say it casually.

  I will be resting in Jierhou King City tonight, and tomorrow morning I will take my troops to the west of Jierhou Kingdom and enter the territory of Jilihou Kingdom. "
