"What is the construction of the ironworks in Dalian Bay now?"

Coming out of the Jinzhou Shipyard, Zhao Zongwu looked stunned, the shipbuilding industry is no longer a problem at this stage, which must be paid attention to the basic industry.

As a member who has experienced the rise of China in later generations, Zhao Zongwu knows very well in his heart that if he wants to build all industries, he cannot do without steel from the root.

Whether it is the steam age, or the coal power era, or the electric age, etc., the key core competitiveness of development is inseparable from steel!

It's just that at this stage, Donghai Town does not have the ability to build a large-scale steel mill, and there is no trace of industrial heritage, so it must start from the basics.

Zhang Hui's face was more excited: "Back to my lord, a large number of displaced people have to rush to work day and night, and the main building of the first phase of the Jinzhou Ironmaking Plant has been completed!" ”

"Good! The first phase of the main building is completed, then the furnace can be tested at the end of this month, once the furnace is successful, the Jinzhou ironworks will be ready for quantitative production! ”

Because of the emergence of cement, many processes have been simplified, and the most critical smelting blast furnace for ironmaking has been optimized because of the emergence of cement and the advice provided by Zhao Zongwu.

Although such a building is an illegal and environmentally unfriendly building in later generations, in this period of Daming, appropriate industrial pollution may be able to change the harsh climate of the Xiaoice period!

The greenhouse effect is an urgent problem to be solved in the future, but the greenhouse effect is needed in Daming!

Zhang Hui said with a smile: "My lord is right, now Jinzhou Iron Works, under the leadership of Director Zhao Feng, is actively testing furnaces.

Originally, I thought that I would wait until the furnace was successfully tested and then report the news to the adults. ”

With such an understanding subordinate under his command, Zhao Zongwu is naturally happy in his heart, but since he has come to Dalian Bay and there is such news from the ironworks, he must go to watch it next.

Since the beginning of Huadao, Zhao Zongwu has consciously cultivated the talents under his command, no matter how great his ability is, it is impossible to do everything.

This work must know how to judge the situation, to know that there is a degree of trade-off, it is unrealistic to fight alone in the Ming Dynasty, in the tragic party struggle, we need to unite all those who can be united, that is the real road.

After the initial precipitation, now Donghai Town is strictly implementing his orders, and perhaps when it touches interests, they will hesitate. But Zhao Zongwu will introduce new interests and constantly expand the horizons of the groups around him!

glanced at Zhang Hui with a smile, and then asked rhetorically: "Zhang Hui, do you know in your heart what this official thinks now?" ”

Zhang Hui looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Xiaguan speculates that your Excellency must want to visit the ironworks in person!" ”

"Correct!" Zhao Zongwu patted Zhang Cheng's shoulder again and said with a smile.

After speaking, he quickly turned over and went straight to the Golden State Iron Works!

As the required steel and iron output at this stage, I am afraid that a closed steel mill in the future will be able to meet the needs of the Ming Dynasty for one or even two years.

Although Daming also wants more production, due to the lack of solid foundation, all this cannot be satisfied.

But anyone who knows some common sense knows that Liaodong is rich in resources.

Although the main iron ore mining area is in the Anshan area, which is occupied by Jiannu, this does not mean that there are other places, and it is not that there are no iron ore mining areas!

Donghai Town has the Penglai Chamber of Commerce, which is also a good choice to induce and cultivate maritime trade with the existing needs.

The main body of the Golden State Ironworks Building, about three kilometers from the coastline, is flat and closest to the wharf, and the site was finally finalized after repeated exploration.

For maximum productivity.

To ensure the quality of the steel and iron produced, when preparing for the construction of the Jinzhou Ironworks, several small factories were built along the way, and the initial processes of steel and iron smelting, production and processing were centrally managed to ensure the maximum utilization rate.

…

…

"Zhao Feng has seen an adult!"

Chinese face, medium stature, middle-aged, blacksmith Zhao Feng, who is full of tendons and flesh.

Don't look at people who look honest, but their abilities are still leveraged.

"Uncle doesn't have to be polite." Seeing that Zhao Feng was about to salute, Zhao Zongwu quickly stepped forward and helped him up: "How is the preparation of the Jinzhou Iron Works now?" ”

Zhao Feng's face was reserved, but when he mentioned the ironworks, he had a clear idea: "The first stage of the furnace has been successfully completed.

The next step is to organize manpower to carry out the furnace test again, and once the furnace test is successful, the Jinzhou Ironmaking Plant can start smoothly. ”

Steel and iron, no matter what period they are, are the most important weapons of the country!

In the case of Donghai Town at this stage, if you want to suppress Jiannu from the root and realize the deployment of recovering Liaodong, you must be crushed in terms of strength!

Although it is not difficult to compete with the Jiannu army at this stage, it may not be an opponent on the battlefield, but once the change of clothes is completed and two or three big victories are given, it is not difficult for the army of Donghai Town to be invincible.

To ensure this, the guarantee of steel is fundamental.

Whether it is the use of cold weapons or the use of firearms, it is inseparable from high-quality steel.

After listening to what Zhao Feng said, Zhao Zongwu had a smile on his face, "Okay!" Very good!

Being able to ensure the smooth start of the Jinzhou Ironmaking Plant is a big surprise for Donghai Town!

In the future, Donghai Town will have a great demand for steel.

Therefore, uncle, on the premise of ensuring production, we must achieve better results! ”

Zhao Zongwu has high hopes for the Jinzhou Iron Works, because many of his deployments are directly and indirectly related to the output of steel.

If Donghai can't meet even the most basic steel needs, it will be unrealistic to have sustainable development.

Because it is fundamentally unrealistic to rely on planting in Donghai Town, Zhao Zongwu is so eager to open up sea trade.

Because of the sea trade, you can get food, get money, and get all the resources you need!

In order to be able to ensure this, Zhao Zongwu had to build the land of Jinzhou into an industrial land with strong consumption power.

And through a series of victories in foreign wars, he continued to recover the lost territory in Liaodong, so as to solve the situation of food being controlled by others.

Don't look at the calm of Donghai Town at this stage, but who can guarantee how long this calm can be maintained?

After all, now against Jiannu, this does not have the slightest advantage!

It is precisely because he knows these things in his heart that Zhao Zongwu will have a more eager mentality than everyone else.

If you don't seize this period of calm and calm, it will not be so easy to lay a solid foundation in the future.

The stall is very large, and the crisis that will occur is also very big! So you have to work harder!
