Chapter 078: How Steel Is Made (Part II)
"Don't worry, sir! Jinzhou Ironworks will live up to the trust! ”
Regarding Zhao Zongwu's high hope, Zhao Feng knew better than anyone else in his heart that he knew what to do as early as when he was doing things on Juehua Island.
Although it took only a few months to build the foundation on Juehua Island, even so, it has made the craftsmen here experience a sharp change.
Change the original workmanship mode, improve the basic efficiency of smelting, increase the integration of resource utilization, and use a method different from the ancestors to become stronger in the real sense!
"To my uncle, I would have been absolutely relieved." What Zhao Zongwu said to Zhao Fengfang was trust from the heart.
If he didn't trust the other party, then he would never be able to reuse Zhao Feng.
Although the children of the Zhao clan of Shahou are not small, the talents who can really be used are very limited, and most of the younger children are put into the army and intelligence, and the older ones go to the infrastructure.
But as long as there is a capable Zhao family's disciple, Zhao Zongwu will definitely not let one go.
Of course, it is necessary to appoint meritocracy, but if there are people of the same clan around and their abilities are not bad, then Zhao Zongwu will definitely not let it go!
Although he has nothing to do with the children of the Zhao family logically, since he has crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, you are the most stupid existence if you don't use your blood relatives.
"But what Ben said just now does not represent the hope for the future of Donghai Town." Originally, there was a sense of relaxation on his face, but then he said with a serious face: "Donghai Town has experienced a lot of wind and frost in the future, and the first thing is the crazy suppression of Jiannu!"
Although it is currently the land of Jinzhou that has been taken, it is obviously unrealistic to fight against the powerful Jiannu only with a small land like Jinzhou.
If we want to gain a firm foothold in Golden State, and even regain more lost ground in the future, then we must be strong in industry!
And to ensure the strength of the industry, the fundamental is the production of steel and iron! ”
Regarding such a topic, Zhao Zongwu has spoken out in Donghai Town more than once, but even if he repeats it many times, he still has to explain it again and again!
Without the ultra-high output of high-quality steel and iron, all planning and deployment are just empty talk, and there is no foundation at all.
Without the need for high-quality steel and iron, it is simply impossible to create sophisticated weapons, and if it cannot provide excellent weapons for the army of Donghai Town, then it will be impossible to ensure complete suppression on the way to war.
In the early battles against Jiannu, although they achieved partial victories, they did not have any advantage at all in terms of the overall situation.
Relying on advanced firearms to attack, and achieving a series of victories on the battlefield, although the core of Jiannu is indeed few, don't forget that Jiannu has many clothed minions in the war, whether it is a traitor who surrenders, a grassland tribe that surrenders, or a prisoner of other ethnic groups, play a wave of attrition first, and engage in a perfect sabotage, how many times can the Donghai Town Army withstand?
Improve the steel smelting industry as soon as possible and form a stable basic industrial chain, only by doing this, and only by doing this, can we counter Jiannu from the root!
Zhao Feng nodded heavily and said: "My lord is right, although the output of Jinzhou Ironmaking Plant is not bad at this stage, if you want to support the development of Donghai Town from the foundation, it is far from enough!"
However, after all, the smelting line is a heavy consumption in the early stage, and if you want to realize the vision of smelting steel in batches, it needs a strong foundation to ensure it. ”
None of the lines of work can be achieved casually.
The smelting that seems to be despised by the world, there are actually more hidden doorways in the middle, which seems simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult!
"What you said is clear, and the basic needs of the generals have been doing, but the point that the general wants to explain to you today is that don't be afraid of how much the ironmaking plant will consume, as long as it is to ensure the future of the steel industry in Donghai Town, you Zhao Feng can only rest assured and boldly do it!
Don't care what other people think, let alone worry about whether the silver is enough, as long as you can achieve steel rationing as soon as possible, then you are a great hero of Donghai Town! ”
For Zhao Feng's consideration, Zhao Zongwu is also very clear in his heart.
The criticism of the world, the demand for silver, the reserve of talents, and the improvement of treatment, if these cannot be effectively solved, it will take a long time to build a real steel mill.
What's more, the investment and harvest in the early stage of ironmaking are simply not proportional results.
Isn't there any pressure in Zhao Feng's heart?
That's obviously unrealistic!
Because of this, Zhao Zongwu knew very well in his heart that as a pillar industry of Donghai Town, it could not be handed over to outsiders at this stage.
This is not that Zhao Zongwu does not trust outsiders, but that outsiders dominate these industries, and they do not have the corresponding courage to fight from the bottom of their hearts.
Ideas that have been around for thousands of years, especially those that can be completely reversed overnight?
Even Zhao Zongwu needs to make changes through practical actions and accumulation bit by bit.
And in the process, he will continue to gain prestige, so that the people around him will slowly trust him completely, listen to him, and obey him!
"My lord! Humble duties do not need any fame, as long as they can help adults and help Donghai Town, even if they experience more suffering, they have no regrets! ”
has not experienced the edification of capital, the family affection in this era is still pure and traditional, if the family does not believe in their own family, then the family seems to be not far from decline.
The barbarian capital thinking of later generations is poisoning the new generation of the Chinese people, and without their own cultural heritage as a foundation, it is normal to lose oneself in this world.
"Good! My nephew is in Golden State, just waiting to drink my uncle's celebration wine! ”
Without more words, no more rendering, Zhao Zongwu and Zhao Feng reached an agreement.
In the future, no matter what Jinzhou Ironmaking Plant lacks, he Zhao Zongwu will unconditionally support to ensure the rapid development of the steel industry in Donghai Town, and what Zhao Feng has to do is to make the steel industry develop in a virtuous cycle mode!
The stalls in Donghai Town are very large, but on the other hand, this also reflects that the current Donghai Town has super high development potential.
As long as Zhao Zongwu can solve the bottleneck of early development, once the development momentum of Donghai Town is stabilized, even if Jiannu's subsequent performance is stronger, Zhao Zongwu will not have the slightest fear!
But if in this process, there is a rupture in development potential and a rupture in the required funds, it will be a devastating disaster for Donghai Town!
Zhao Zongwu doesn't like to be vigorous, he prefers to moisturize things silently, but the current situation can't let him do it.
