    This is a bit troublesome.

    ??According to Romande, if the local area wants to develop agriculture, it will inevitably compete with Taiwan's original numerous virgin forests for land. Another problem is the shipbuilding industry that Ding Yunyi attaches great importance to.

    If the shipbuilding industry wants to develop, it will need to cut down a large number of trees to build ships.  Among the many types of wood, camphor wood has the highest use value and economic value. It can not only be used for shipbuilding and tool making, but also can be made into camphor and sold in large quantities, which is very profitable.

    Ding Yunyi¡¯s group needs to cut down trees to build ships, weapons, and wooden tools, and boil camphor to obtain a large amount of economic returns. The common people also need the same.

    You cut it, I cut it, and the natural environment was severely damaged.  In just a few years, God has begun to punish Taiwan. In the long run, the harm caused by destroying the natural environment will become increasingly apparent.

    Either vigorously develop Taiwan or protect the natural environment, you can only choose one of the two.

    Ding Yunyi¡¯s heart is heavily inclined to the former. If Taiwan cannot develop, what can he do to protect Taiwan?

    His thoughts were not hidden from Qin Yun: "Third brother, Su Yang Qiuyuan and Romande came up with some solutions together. One is to introduce drought-tolerant crops, such as barley and sweet potatoes. There is also a crop discovered by the dry silk people, which is extremely  Can resist drought, calledcalled potatoes"

    "Ah, potatoes." Ding Yunyi said smoothly, seeing Qin Yun looking a little surprised, thinking that potatoes seemed to have just been introduced to China not long ago, and there were not many places to grow them.  Potatoes are called potatoes in China, which is the same as wheat.  After arriving in China, it was gradually called corn: "I heard from the priest that people in some places call it potatoes."

    Qin Yun continued: "Su Yangqiuyuan has sent people to learn the experience of planting potatoes. Planting drought-resistant crops is one of the reasons. Second, according to Luo Mande, central and western Taiwan belongs to the plain basin with developed agriculture. He believes that it will destroy  It's also very serious. But it's different in the east. Eastern Taiwan is a virgin forest and mountainous area, where human activities are rare and there is no concept of disaster. Therefore, if trees must be cut down, it can be done.  Move to the east and provide us with trees."

    Having destroyed the Midwest, will you destroy the East?  No matter how big the virgin forest is.  As long as it is targeted by humans, it will be completely destroyed in just a few decades.  But now that I think about it, this is currently the best way to solve the problem of compatibility between development and the natural environment.

    Ding Yunyi smiled bitterly: "In the future, if we need wood, we will go to the east. Although it will take more effort to operate, it is still an emergency measure. We must fight against disasters, and our military development cannot stop for a moment. Although this is not a fundamental solution to the problem, we can  I can¡¯t care about that much at the moment.¡±

    Qin Yun nodded: "But Romande seems to be very unhappy. He believes that the virgin forest is the greatest wealth given by God to mankind and cannot be destroyed."

    Ding Yunyi sighed: "Now we have to build ships, weapons, and houses. Which one of them lacks wood? Let me comfort myself. If we don't destroy it, Taiwan will be destroyed if it falls into the hands of others. Come on, let's let it happen  Romande, please concentrate on studying the production of crops."

    Qin Yun smiled and said: "The last one is to turn all logging and camphor wood boiling into government affairs. Establishing special part-time and special yamen can reduce damage and stop uncontrolled logging, and  It can bring us a lot of profits.¡±

    "This is a good idea." Ding Yunyi blurted out: "We started to do this immediately and couldn't stop for a moment. I heard that every time a drought comes, the most common thing people do is pray for rain. This is useless, it is of no use at all.  On the contrary, it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. If I think it can be stopped, I will stop it. If it cannot be stopped, I must control it.¡±

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: and are generally satisfied with the situation. Since I set out to conquer the Central Plains, under the governance of these subordinates, everything in Taiwan has been in order.

    Ding Yunyi pondered for a moment and changed the topic: "Our Huben Guard Navy has begun to take shape. How is the training of the newly recruited soldiers?"

    Cai Jiuzhou was a little excited: "Sir, the Shi Weide and Mansura we hired are very good at leading troops, especially in the use of firearms. At present, we will divide all the recruited soldiers into two groups, one based on the Taixi  The training method is based on the training method of my Ming Dynasty. Especially due to the continuous disasters in Taiwan, there are many people joining the army. During the time when your Excellency left, our Hu Ben Guards, including the water division, firearms, gunners, and infantry, have been  There are more than 3,700 qualified soldiers and we are still recruiting.¡±

    "Daming Ocean Company also has 1,800 armed and quasi-armed employees." Qin Yun also said.

    Ding Yunyi was overjoyed when he heard this, saying that he already had five or six children.Have you gained the power of others?  With this power in hand, you can cope with any emergencies.

    Suddenly something came to mind: "Everyone, this time I fought a bloody battle in the Central Plains. There was nothing else, but I brought back more than two hundred elite cavalry. I plan to use this as a team to train a cavalry that can dominate the world. Everyone  What do you think?"

    This is somewhat unexpected.

    Have they seen the cavalry that Ding Yunyi brought back? They just thought that he brought them back by the way, but they didn't expect that Ding Yunyi had such great ambitions.

    These people are all from the navy. Although they all ride horses, they have no idea about cavalry.  Zhang Xianxuan couldn't help but said: "Sir, it's not impossible to form cavalry, but where to train them? Soldiers are easy to handle, but horses are hard to find."

    This is a problem. Ding Yunyi frowned: "It's easy to find a training place, but the problem of war horses is really difficult. I think our elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty are nothing more than the border areas of the Central Plains, especially the border troops, who fight against the Jinlu all the year round.  , The cavalry is unparalleled"

    Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "When I was in the capital, I met Wu Sangui, the son of General Wu Xiang, and later we made a three-year appointment. It seems that I have to leave Taiwan again and go to Shanhaiguan to see this old man.  friend."

    By this time, he had already set his mind on Wu Sangui.

    Seeing that it was almost noon, Qin Yun said from the side: "Third brother. You have just returned to Taiwan. The journey has been tiring, so you should rest early. My sister-in-law is waiting for you in a hurry."

    Ding Yunyi suddenly became a little embarrassed: "Well, speaking of sister-in-lawah, I married a first wife in Suzhouwell, I am still on the way. She will arrive in the next few days.  "

    When the generals heard this, everyone started talking. Qin Yun said: "Third brother is really a great hero. He went to the Central Plains. First he brought us a sister-in-law Chen Yuanyuan, and now he gave us this surprise. I did the math, and third brother has it.  Four ladies. Zheng Zhilong is not as good as the eldest brother in this regard."

    There was a burst of laughter, and Ding Yunyi chuckled and cursed.

    Qin Yun stood up and began to chase away the guests: "It's all gone, it's all gone. There are three ladies waiting for the third brother. Tsk tsk. They all say that a goodbye is better than a wedding. I don't think the third brother will be able to get up tomorrow. I'm envious.  ,envious"

    With the whole hall laughing, everyone dispersed.

    Ding Yunyi scratched his head.  Think about it too.  Only a few years after he came to this era, he actually married four wives at once. This was something that he would have never dared to think of in his own time.

    He quietly returned to his residence without letting the maid inform him.  Hiding at the door and peeking, they thought that they suddenly brought back Chen Yuanyuan. Ah Xi and Han Xiaoxiao must be unhappy. They didn't expect that these women, including the two sisters Lu Xue and Lu Hui, would actually have trouble talking to Chen Yuanyuan.  Very happy.

    Well, this is a good phenomenon.

    Ah Xi has no scheming intentions.  Although Han Xiaoxiao is a woman, she is as generous and generous as a man.  Coupled with the fact that there are several people with similar personalities, it is possible to get along well with each other.  I just don't know that after my wife Deng Lianyu came, her personality was very different from theirs, and I didn't know if they could get along with each other the same as now.

    He coughed outside the door and walked in.

    The women were startled, and Ah Xi was the first to jump up, rush in front of Ding Yunyi, hold Ding Yunyi in his arms, laugh and cry at the same time, the true feelings must be revealed.

    Han Xiaoxiao¡¯s eyes were also red, but his face was full of happiness.  She could control her emotions and just looked at Ding Yunyi with a smile.  The two sisters, Lu Xue and Lu Hui, were also very happy and hurriedly went to help Ding Yunyi wash his hands and face

    Ah Xi and Ding Yunyi were arguing for a while, and she jumped up and pulled Ding Yunyi down to sit down. Before Ding Yunyi could sit down completely, she asked a lot of questions.

    Ding Yunyi patiently answered one by one. In the blink of an eye, he saw Han Xiaoxiao looking at him with a half-smile, and then nuzzled his lips at Chen Yuanyuan. He immediately understood what she meant and said awkwardly: "This, this is Chen Yuanyuan, I'm in Suzhou."  when"

    "Eunuch-in-law Wang Chengen helped you do it." Han Xiaoxiao smiled and helped her husband get rid of the embarrassment: "Eunuch-in-law helped you do it, so of course you can't shirk it. Forget it, you don't have to explain. A real man has three wives and four wives.  Concubine, it should be, not to mention that you are now a general, and your status is very different. We get along well with Yuanyuan, and we will be very happy to have another companion in the future. "

    Yes, you are happy. When Deng Lianyu comes again, you can get together at the mahjong table. Ding Yunyi suddenly had such a strange idea in his heart.

    kindness?  There¡¯s no mahjong yet, right?  Is it playing cards?  It seems that there are no east, south, west, north, middle, hair, and white.  Do you want to take the time to "invent" real Mahjong?  Make yourself the "Father of Mahjong"?

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?With this thought, Ding Yunyi became more playful.  Since he came to this era, he has been busy fighting all day long, and now he has taken the time to invent a few gadgets. Can it be regarded as "leaving his name in history" in another sense?

    ¡°Who among the women would have thought that their husbands were having this idea?  Han Xiaoxiao said: "Husband, I heard from Yuanyuan that you married a first wife in Suzhou?"

    Ding Yunyi put his thoughts back, nodded solemnly, and then told the story of his marriage to Deng Lianyu.

    ????????? Han Xiaoxiao is wholeheartedly thinking about her husband¡¯s future and highly appreciates this marriage.

    After dinner, in the afternoon, I originally wanted to drag my two wives into the room and enjoy the pleasure of sex, but doing this in broad daylight would make people laugh if word spread.

    Both Han Xiaoxiao and Chen Yuanyuan have the habit of taking naps. Lu Xue and Lu Hui waited on them back to the room.  However, Ding Yunyi took Ah Xi and called Ah Hu, who had just arrived after hearing the news, and asked people to find materials. The three of them hid in a small room and didn't know what they were tinkering with.  I only heard the sound of saws and grinding coming from the room again.

    Han Xiaoxiao and Chen Yuanyuan woke up from their nap. The three of them were still busy in the small room, and no one was allowed to disturb them.  Han Xiaoxiao smiled and said to Chen Yuanyuan, "This man of ours always likes to do mysterious and weird things."

    Until dinner time, they refused to come out even if they were asked to do so. They had to have their food handed in through a small window.

    Han Xiaoxiao and Chen Yuanyuan had dinner and had a conversation. Importantly, they saw the door open. Ding Yunyi led Axi and Ahu out happily. Ding Yunyi was holding a box of things in his hand.

    Ding Yunyi proudly put the box of things on the table: "Have you seen this?"

    Han Xiaoxiao and Chen Yuanyuan looked curiously and saw small squares made of wood. They picked them up and looked at them carefully. They saw that there were words like "ten thousand, twenty thousand" written on them, which were very similar to the playing cards they usually played.  .

    "Mahjong, this is called Mahjong!" Ding Yunyi was very proud: "Axi, Ahu and I spent an entire afternoon making it. It is similar to playing cards, but much more interesting than playing cards. Come, I will teach you how to play."

    Without any further explanation, let Han Xiaoxiao, Chen Yuanyuan and Axi sit down one by one around the Eight Immortals table and teach them how to play.

    In fact, Mahjong is similar to playing cards at this time. Three numbers in the same door are connected and called "Kan", three numbers of the same number are called "Peng" and four numbers of the same number are "Open Kong".

    Han Xiaoxiao and Chen Yuanyuan both know how to play cards, but Ah Xi can¡¯t. However, mahjong can be mastered with just a little guidance.

    At first, the three women were just curious about the new thing "Mahjong", but the more they played, the more anxious they became. When it was time to hold the lights, the four of them still had a great time. Later, even Lu Xue and Lu Hui moved their stools.  Watching from the side with great interest.

    Relying on his familiarity with mahjong, Ding Yunyi deceived them into playing mahjong for the first time and offered to bet money on the game. All three women agreed.  Ding Yunyi originally wanted to make a lot of money, but he never expected that these three women understood mahjong so quickly, especially Han Xiaoxiao and Chen Yuanyuan, who also had card skills. In less than an hour, Ding Yunyi became a master of mahjong.  A big loser.

    Ding Yunyi was sweating profusely after losing and owed a lot of gambling debts. Only God knew that women are born to be experts at playing mahjong.

    Ding Yunyi felt frustrated. He had successfully invented some mahjong, but he still had to play so hard that he lost nothing in his pocket.

    But no matter what, the "Father of Mahjong" was born here!  !  ~!
