Iron Dynasty

February 9th.

More than three months have passed since the Nandu operation, and the season has gradually transitioned from winter to spring.

After receiving the materials from Lin'an a few days ago, the following time a steady stream of various materials entered Qingzhou, which was a grand occasion.

In this grand occasion, the cabinet quickly allocated funds after discussion, and the key military workshop was even more divided.

Chen Qi and Song Changping breathed a sigh of relief while expanding the production line. The production of the Falcon rifle entered the speed-up stage, and Chen Qi was even more busy. After he supervised the construction of the grenade factory, he began to invest a lot of money in the development of the breech gun.

The breech loading method of the Falcon rifle has given him an obvious reminder. After all, the gun is just an enlarged gun. The gun can be loaded from behind the ass, and this artillery can naturally.

In this way, the problem of difficult loading of rifled guns was completely solved, and this problem had plagued Chen Qi for a long time.

In addition to the military workshop, the Railway Department also received large sums of funds. According to Princess Pingyang’s promise to Xiao Ming, the Qingzhou to Youzhou railway was basically completed by the end of the year. After all, the distance from Kaiping to Youzhou is only a hundred miles. This is not a difficult question.

After this achievement, the Railway Department, which injected a lot of funds, started the construction of the Kaiping-Changan railway line, and the construction of the Laiwu-Xuzhou, Xuzhou-Jinling railway.

The four railways from east to west, north to south, are of course not a straight line, but twists and turns, passing almost every important city.

Once all the railways are open to traffic, the entire north will be connected together, but it will take at least two or three years to achieve this goal, and the railway construction in Kanto will be even more difficult.

While vigorously laying the railway, the construction of cement roads has also been going on. Now the main roads from Qingzhou to nearby county towns have all become cement roads.

Some roads in the county and in the countryside were also rebuilt. At the same time, businessmen who had the qualification to build factories began to go to other cities to build cement plants.

Because some wealthy cities began to build roads under the order of the imperial court, but because there were no cement factories in the area, businessmen who pursued profits naturally saw this business opportunity.

Just building a cement plant is not a simple matter. You have to look for ore and have mining equipment. As a result, there are related factories established to provide supply and demand for the mining plant.

The industry of Dayu State began to radiate from Qingzhou Prefecture due to the recovery of the northern economy, and another batch of capital investment accelerated this process.

"The emperor, this capital investment is now blooming everywhere in Dayu, and all walks of life have been greatly expanded. If this goes on, the total amount of industry in Dayu will have to double again within a year."

Pang Yukun handed him the summary form of payment.

Xiao Ming smiled. In fact, there is no way. Because the total amount of industry is small, it will be so easy to double. However, it is a miracle that the country has grown from scratch in the past nine years. Up.

The only effort he needs now is to expand the local industrial development to the whole country. Otherwise, it is not enough to just make a small mess in one place. After all, the Western countries today are a holistic industrial system.

"This is the charm of money." Xiao Ming bared his teeth, and the wealth seized from Lin'an was quickly squandered by the ruling cabinet. He is now thinking about auctioning the houses, workshops, shops, and part of the land left by the rich.

At this stage, it is necessary to concentrate funds on major events, not to mention that the bulk of Lin'an wealth is these things, but businessmen who have been used to living in Qingzhou don't seem to buy it.

But it doesn't matter. What he has is a way to stimulate economic development if the rich do not consume. Everyone is a piggy bank and only in and out of it can be detrimental to economic development.

After a pause, he said: "I have an idea. Now the businessmen in Qingzhou are too crowded. For the balanced development of the industry in the country, a business zone should also be established in the south. All businessmen doing business in the business zone can get preferential treatment. If you think about it, paint Suzhou, Songjiang, and Nanjing as a business district."

Pang Yukun instantly understood what Xiao Ming meant. Now that the thermal power plant in Qingzhou has started, it will not be long before Qingzhou will enter the electricity era first.

Once entering the power era, many backward workshops will face elimination.

But it is a waste to weed out these workshops now. After all, the spread of industry requires a process, and there are still many places in the country that are not covered by the light of industry.

Therefore, it is necessary for the imperial court to induce the merchants to move the backward workshops to a place where they may be afraid, so that the country of Great Chongqing can form a wave of industrial development process.

Qingzhou is the center of the wave, representing the most advanced technology. The technology outside the wave is getting lower and lower, so that no productivity can be wasted.

"It's time to draw a commercial area~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Pang Yukun laughed sly. Once the commercial area is established, those big businessmen with sufficient funds will go back to these areas to purchase land and real estate and establish workshops.

In this way, the industry and commerce in this place will survive, and the court can obtain a lot of funds through the sale of wealthy assets.

After all, the fixed assets of these wealthy families are huge, which is no less than the wealth shipped to Qingzhou.

The two made up this plan with a smirk, and Pang Yukun immediately went back to think about how to plan the matter.

While Qingzhou gained tremendous vitality from funding, the fighting in the South continued.

After conquering Lin'an, Niu Ben did not choose to continue the offensive, but rested in Lin'an City to wait for ammunition supplies and reinforcements.

Lin'an is only one point in the process of going south, and there are many more points in the south of Lin'an, and he must have sufficient preparations.

After waiting for more than a month, the second batch of 20,000 grenades was sent to Lin'an, while 40,000 recruits equipped with Falcon rifles went to the battlefield.

At this time, the number of troops going south reached 140,000.

"140,000 people are enough."

Niu Ben of Lin'an Temporary Staff has a firm look. Now for every soldier, the most important thing at the moment is to end the war in the south. After all, there is still a lot of trouble waiting for them to deal with.

"Lu Fei, you are responsible for attacking Shaoxing, Ningzhou and other cities to the south, Luo Xin, you are responsible for attacking Huizhou and other cities to the west. After the goal is achieved, you two will attack the southwest together and regain the southwestern lands."

"Yes, General." Lu Fei and Luo Xin said simultaneously.

They are now full of confidence, because the production speed of the military workshop has been greatly increased, and they are not afraid of anyone with sufficient ammunition.

Luo Quan reminded: "Although we have more advanced firearms, we must never take it lightly. The merchant council still has a few brushes."
