Ji Yang called Xiang Yang, Dong Wu, Peng Yaodian, Chen Jiayi, Tong Lu, Chen Ye, and Wu Kun over. At this time, Xiang Yang and Dong Wu had already reached the ninefold realm, while Chen Jiayi and Tatsuno had reached the eightfold realm, Tonglu had sevenfold, and Peng Yaodian had reached the sixfold realm. However, Tong Lu majored in Yuan Shen and spirit, so she couldn't figure out her true strength in the Qigong realm, she could manipulate the Nine Masters of the Ninefold.

"Xiangyang, tell me how the sect's workshops are operating." Jiyang Road.

Ding Chunqiu is the coordinator of the Xingzhu faction's industry, while Xiang Yang is deeply trusted by Ji Yang and is the manager. Xiang Yang manages the Xingzhu faction and is most familiar with the workshops, Ji Yang asks him if he wants to know the situation, and he will not make a false report.

Dong Wu and Peng Yaodian were in charge of agriculture and were also an important foundation of the Star Sect.

And Wu Kun should be regarded as a technical director.

"Back to the head of the family, the earliest brewery, has expanded 17 workshops in the north and south of the river. The fruit wine and rice wine we brew are selling very well, not only in the Central Plains, but also exported to North Korea and Ryukyu countries. We have opened more than 300 restaurants, more than 1,000 small shops, and a complete range of dishes, which are widely loved by the people, and have also been opened to overseas countries. "Direction Yang Dao.

Catering is a very important part of Jiyang's plan, and the descendants of Yan and Huang are also known as the foodie nation, and catering is the easiest culture to spread. Ji Yang plans to vigorously create restaurants and small shops in overseas countries to meet the appetite needs of the upper and lower classes.

The restaurants of the Xingsu school are generally called Xingzhulou, Mochizuki Lou, and the small shops are named after the cuisine, including Sichuan restaurant, Cantonese restaurant, Shandong restaurant, Su restaurant, Hunan restaurant and so on. Ji Yang's recipes from modern times are the culmination of Greater Chinese cuisine, and they are naturally popular all over the world.

300 restaurants and 1,000 small shops are far from satisfying the market.

One day, the eastern part of Korea, the Ryukyus, and the western countries will be occupied by the restaurants and shops of the Star Sect. At that time, Jiyang will be able to export other cultures to other countries with the help of a huge catering system.

"After that, we successively created workshops for weaving, candles, soap, glass, porcelain and ironware. Our craftsmanship is superb, and the tools we make are not only durable, but also beautiful, and very popular. We have ten weaving workshops in Jiangnan, and we hire local women, who were reluctant to show up at first, but our pay is high, and some people come and go. Some people scolded our workshop for insulting the atmosphere, but there was nothing we could do, and later some weavers in Jiangnan followed suit and began to run large workshops. Over time, I got used to it. ”

"The candles and soaps we make from whale oil are of good quality and sell very well. Our glassware, porcelain and iron are of high quality and low price, whether it is glass or ceramic steel, our quality is better than others. These utensils not only sell well in the Central Plains, but also sell better in overseas countries, and the value of a porcelain bowl sold to Dongying Manthorn and other countries can increase by five or six times. "Direction Yang Dao.

In terms of manufacturing technology, who can compare to the Xingzhu Workshop, and under the guidance of Ji Yang, the Xingzhu School stresses honesty and conscience, good quality and low price, and it is strange that the business is not good. Because the Nakshatra faction is well treated and treats industrial and commercial farmers equally, craftsmen are willing to come here to work.

The imperial court graded the soldiers, peasants, and industrialists in order, and the status of industry and commerce was very low, so the Xingzhu faction did not have this constraint. Ji Yang is very aware of the importance of soldiers, agriculture and industry, so there is a clause in the door rules, that is, the status of soldiers, farmers and industry and commerce is equal, and they are earned according to their work.

The manufacturing and commerce of the Nakshatra faction developed rapidly, and thanks to the strength of the Star Fleet, it quickly opened up overseas markets. Don't underestimate Dongying, Korea, Ryukyu and other countries, they are a small country with tens of millions of people, and the living expenses of so many people are extremely large, and it is impossible for the Nakshatra faction to be satisfied.

The existing workshops are desperately manufacturing, and hundreds of cargo ships come and go every day, but they can't meet the markets of North Korea's Dongying and other countries. Therefore, the Xingzhu faction is hurrying to expand its workshops and compete for interests with wealthy merchants in Jiangnan and other places.

The main income of the Nakshatra faction is workshop weaving, catering and trading houses, grain and oil trading, and sea trade and taxation. The first three are legitimate businesses, while the collection of taxes in maritime trade is illegal, and it is purely done by the strength of the Star Fleet.

"How's our steel mill in Hanyang?" Ji Yang asked, he attaches great importance to steelmaking technology.

"The Hanyang steelmaking plant produces 50,000 tons a year, which is almost comparable to the steel output of the entire Central Plains." Xiang Yang said.

Compared with the hundreds of millions of tons of steel produced in modern China a year, this output is naturally insignificant. However, during the Ming Dynasty, even in the world, the output of 30,000 tons of steel was huge. Steel production is not equal to iron production, because of the limitations of steelmaking technology and mining technology, steel production in ancient times was not high.

In addition, it should be mentioned that there are many kinds of iron ore in the Wind and Cloud World, ordinary iron ore, cold iron ore, and some rare special ores. Like the peerless sword and snow drinking knife, they are all made of special ore. However, ordinary iron ore and steel are commonly used, and the number of cold iron ore is not much, and the smelting temperature is extremely high.

"It's not enough, there are too few veins of the Star Sect, and we have to buy iron ore from other places. The steam engine has already been developed in the workshop, and a lot of steel will be needed to lay rails and build warships in the future. Ji Yang said.

"Obedience." Xiang Yang has never been to the modern era and does not know what the railroad tracks are.

"Dong Wu, how is the farm over there?" Ji Yang asked again.

"In addition to the original rice, corn and potatoes, crops such as peppers, garlic and sweet potatoes are also growing very well. However, there are forests nearby, and you are not allowed to cut down indiscriminately, so it is difficult to increase the amount of farmland. Dong Wu said.

"Well, I've thought about this question too, it's not enough to reclaim farmland in this generation. I am going to march into Jizhou to Hazhou, where the soil is fertile and it is a good place to farm. However, it is sparsely populated and densely forested, and it will take a lot of immigrants to reclaim it. Ji Yang said that the generation from Jizhou to Harbin is the generation of the three eastern provinces, and it is the granary of China.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had not yet conquered the three eastern provinces, which were occupied by ethnic minorities and savages, and had not yet been developed. It is very easy for Ji Yang to take the three eastern provinces, but the difficult thing is that after taking it, where to find someone to open up the wasteland.

Because in the eyes of the Central Plains, it is a barren land, and it is estimated that few people are willing to go. The world is more than three times larger than the earth, and it will take at least two million people to develop the three eastern provinces.

"Boss, Shanxi and Henan have been suffering from drought for many years, plagues besiege the city, and the people are struggling to make a living. We only need to give some food and promise benefits, and there will definitely be many people who have no food to eat who are willing to immigrate to Jizhou. Dong Wu said.

"How severe is the drought and plague?" Ji Yang was in Loulan some time ago and didn't care about the news of the Central Plains.

"This incident was said by the grain merchant I sent to the southwest of the mountains and rivers for a generation of natural and man-made disasters, and millions of people died. My faction also donated some food, but it was a drop in the bucket and couldn't save so many people. Dong Wu said.

Ji Yang was silent, he had never experienced such a catastrophe in his life in peacetime, but he could imagine that kind of scene. The world will have a branch in Shanxi and Henan, and the Xingzhu faction also has a restaurant there, but this will mostly lose money.

"With our current food, how many people can be placed?" Ji Yang asked.

"If it is limited to three months, about 700,000 people can be resettled." Dong Wu said.

Although the Nakshatra faction produced a large amount of grain, it was not stored in large quantities, and the surplus was sold. The existing grain storage was originally intended for the use of soldiers, but I did not expect such a thing.

Ji Yang added: "Within three months, it should be possible to transfer the victims to Jizhou for a generation." As for getting there, the Star Fleet catches hundreds of thousands of catties of fish every day, and we buy some more food, which should be able to support the disaster victims to open up the wasteland and farm the land, and then harvest. The soil is fertile, and the wheat and sweet potatoes can be harvested once every six months, and they will soon stabilize. ”

"You Tanzhi, you immediately go to the Star Fleet to find Ming Tao, and lead a group of men and horses to attack Jizhou and other places from the sea. Within half a year, Jizhou and other places will become the territory of the Star Sect, no problem. Ji Yang said.

"Subordinates obey." You Tanzhi has just been promoted to the congenital and is full of self-confidence.

"Dong Wu, Peng Yaodian, the two of you formulate a set of immigration policies, and then go to the disaster areas in Shanxi and Henan, and try to invite as many victims as possible to Jizhou and other places. Shanxi by land, Henan first to the Yellow Sea generation of ports, by water to Jizhou. Ji Yang said.

"Subordinates obey." Dong Wu and Peng Yaodian said respectfully.

They were all born in poor families, and they had long wanted to help the people in the disaster area, but without Ji Yang's instructions, they didn't dare to mobilize a large amount of food from the Xingzhu faction. Ji Yang's immigration plan can not only help the people in the disaster area, but also benefit the Star Sect, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
