The port of the blacksmith's workshop, at this time, is already quite busy, and the orders of the imperial court are as high as 100 million catties, on average to 1 million catties per day, plus civilian products, more than 10,000 catties per day, which is almost 100 tons.

It has been reasonably arranged, and the whole port is carried out in an orderly manner, in fact, with the development of the blacksmith workshop, more and more people are attached to the blacksmith workshop.

From the very beginning, which was just labor, to the whole blacksmith workshop, for example, to be in charge of some takeaways, or cleaning, etc.

Take the master's monthly salary as an example, if there is a family member, there is no need for this.

However, most of the craftsmen come alone, and this demand is quite large.

The city is formed in this way, as long as there is a market and space, it can be formed, which has nothing to do with development, compared with later generations, in this era, people are more industrious.

After several rounds, from signing orders with the imperial court to now, a large number of civilian goods transactions, blacksmith workshops, have the ability to operate themselves, and Zhao Xin has no relationship with him or not.

If it weren't for the appearance of Dinghai Coin, he would have left almost a month ago, but it took so long to promote Dinghai Coin.

However, now, on the blacksmith's workshop side, Wan Guan, plus Wan Guan of the Daimyo's Mansion, this is already enough, and when these productions are completed, Zhao Xin will never stay again.

Although it is said that in the future, the gradual production of Dinghai coins, in a year's time, can almost produce about 100 million yuan, and the cost paid is only 10,000 yuan.

Money is a direct profit, and it has a completely different meaning from other products produced, because this does not need to be sold, and the money can be used directly.

The circulation of Dinghai coins in the Daimyo Mansion is far faster than imagined, the status and reputation of the blacksmith workshop in the Daimyo Mansion determines the flow of Dinghai coins, which is more convenient for anti-counterfeiting, as long as you find a sharp weapon, you can judge the authenticity of this Dinghai coin, for the time being, no one can use this material to make Dinghai coins, not to mention, many other anti-counterfeiting.

There is no fraud, and the Northern Song Dynasty does need a middle-grade currency, which is the key to the circulation of Dinghai currency, and its influence began to expand.

Finally, it was time to leave, and when I looked back at the port, I couldn't see the towering walls of the Daimyo's mansion, only the towering chimneys and the smoke that kept rising.

This is a symbol of industrialization, just like the industrial revolution that began in Britain, when London was already a veritable fog capital.

The Daimyo's Mansion may not be as completely foggy as London in terms of environment, but with the expansion of blacksmith workshops, environmental issues will become the most important issue.

Zhao Xin is also very helpless, this is the inevitable consequence of industrialization, a large number of concentrated industries, will cause huge pollution, this is unavoidable, small workshops high energy consumption and high pollution, the same is true.

Only centralization, the use of blast furnaces and other methods, will it be possible to avoid this, which, unfortunately, is no less realistic for this era.

Countless workers are working for him, and every bit and every drop has converged into a huge wealth, and these wealth, in exchange for ordinary people, will only cost a lot of money, but Zhao Xin has a series of plans, and money will play a greater role here.

The chimney gradually moved away, and the speed of the ship was very fast, this is a rare hopper ship, an enlarged version of an ordinary small bucket ship, which can accommodate left and right.

In the cabin, at least there are paddlewheels that keep stepping on them, driving the car and ship to move forward quickly.

Of course, Cao Di knew that Zhao Xin needed to be in a hurry, and Zhao Xin agreed to his previous request, so he also reported to Taoli, not only calling such a ship, the fastest ship in the Daimyo Mansion, but at the same time, making arrangements along the way.

There are many roads involved, many of which are not under Cao Di, and to coordinate these, not only status is needed, but also some exchanges.

However, in the end, it was done, and the soldier would give it his all for an hour, and then replace it.

The speed of the vehicle and ship can reach an hour, and during this time, reasonable arrangement can be arranged enough soldiers.

You can travel for at least one hour a day, that is, about one mile a day, which is not as fast as eight hundred miles, but the comfort is much better.

Zhao Xin needs to return to the Dinghai Navy, and he also needs to see the Xiang Army assigned to him, although it is said that after having those laborers of the Daimyo Mansion and the Future Central Forging Bureau, the demand for these labors is not so great, but it is better to have than nothing.

These formed armies are the best way for the workers, and when they settle the victims, they will select young and strong people, who are much younger than the craftsmen.

In fact, it is only a limit of speed, in fact, to consider the replacement of personnel, some of the things encountered in it, the average daily speed, about the inside, from the Daimyo's Mansion to the vicinity of Hongze Lake, it only took a few days.

The last point of the journey was rushed overnight, and it was not too fast, and it was almost a mile in one night, and finally entered the vicinity of Hongze Lake.

The Xiang army has been gathered here, and the efficiency of the Northern Song Dynasty, under the premise of no constraints, is still very fast, especially the speed of army mobilization, and even under the premise that the money and food are not in place, they can be quickly mobilized, not to mention, now, the money and food are guaranteed by the three divisions and the Privy Council.

It only took them half a month to arrive near Hongze Lake, and now they temporarily live in a clearing near the lake.

However, because Zhao Xin delayed the time, they stayed in the Daimyo Mansion for at least a few more months, and they were here for more than a month to have nothing to do.

This is just the first batch of van troops, which are pieced together by different teams. Ten thousand people, half of whom belonged to the siege troops, and the other belonged to the paramilitary troops, mainly responsible for the defense of the forbidden army after leaving.

Zhao Xin's request, of course, they have left the army, all kinds of weapons and equipment are not carried, even vehicles and horses, but they are still fully organized, and even the Privy Council has sent a middle-level official to manage this team.

got off the ship, and was told that the box army was stationed not far to the west, Zhao Xin took people to ride over, Xue Yu and Sun Ji had already gone over in advance, he didn't worry about safety, and there were guards around him.

For fast horse galloping, that is, half an hour later, Zhao Xin is already very familiar with horseback riding, and he can't even warm up.

He had already seen the battle array, and even followed the forbidden army, and participated in several battles, and Zhao Xin was also a little disappointed when he saw the military camp of the Xiang army.

How could this be a professional army, this is clearly a dilapidated village, barely made of wood and straw, temporary housing, which looks messy and abnormal.

Later, Zhao Xin learned that this was after Sun Ji arrived, and after adjustment, it became like this, before, it was just a casual arrangement, some were even grass nests, or a random messy tent.

Zhao Xin sighed, and then he knew what the Xiang army was like.

That's right, after coming to the Northern Song Dynasty, what he came into contact with was either the forbidden army, and the forbidden army in the Northern Song Dynasty definitely exceeded other branches of the army in terms of treatment.

They are well-trained, well-equipped, and very combat-ready.

But the Xiang Army is different, especially the Xiang Army given to Zhao Xin, it is the worst kind of Xiang Army, their money is not even able to support their lives, more often, they rely on odd jobs and other methods to maintain their livelihood.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the gap between the rich and the poor was actually not small, and in a series of core urban areas with Bianliang as the core, even ordinary urban residents would not have a low monthly income.

Even in an ordinary city, the lowest-level women who wash and wash their pulp can almost earn more than a month's money.

In many cases, the remuneration for labor services is not based on the benefits paid, but the income of the wealthy, in the blacksmith workshop, which is enough to have higher wages and higher basic labor services than most cities in the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, in remote rural areas, some places where transportation is not too convenient, there may be a literate cash, which is already good.

In fact, it is a non-industrial society, or an industrial society, the difference between urban and rural areas, where there are more opportunities in the cities and less in the countryside.

The handover work has long been completed by Sun Ji, and only after Zhao Xin's takeover is that the officials have finished their own affairs and left, and Wan's box army will be handed over to Zhao Xin.

There are 10,000 people, mighty, even if it is a box army, Zhao Xin is very satisfied that these box soldiers are not very old, most of them are below, and they are young and strong

This camp does not need to be here, moreover

Need to leave, on the other side of the lake, there is a simple camp, will gradually build into a warehouse and port, responsible for the handover with the water system, here is still about a mile away from Lianyungang.

After settling down the Xiang army in a simple way, 10,000 needed a lot of money and food, Zhao Xin had already begun to mobilize, and then, with a small number of personnel, went to the Dinghai Navy.

It has been more than a month since the Dinghai Navy, although countless money has been harvested, but this is still the foundation of Zhao Xin, although the Daimyo Mansion has provided a series of support for the blacksmith workshop, but in a sense, he still belongs to the center of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Xin needs to consider the consequences first in terms of design.

But Dingjun is different, this is a blank piece of paper, as long as Zhao Xin wants to write, he can write, everything he wants to write, in the future, the changes will be very drastic, even beyond everyone's imagination. ...
