Now that he can go away, he will definitely go back to the Daimyo Mansion and Miaojiazhuang to speed up the great cause of making money.

With the foundation laid by Miaojiazhuang, he can quickly accumulate wealth, which is very fast.

But at this time, he must stay in the Dinghai Navy, and there are many things in the Dinghai Navy that he needs to deal with personally.

Waiting for the personnel to come, after they determined the address, they quickly returned, along with the official canonization of Baozhou Hou, 800 regimental training also had a new identity, after soliciting opinions, most of them followed Zhao Xin, turned into a forbidden army, and officially became the protector of Baozhou Hou.

The regimental training and the forbidden army, this is a huge difference between the border army and the box army, not only the treatment issue, but also the identity.

Miaojiazhuang's group training, because it is backed by Miaojiazhuang, a big money-maker, the league training is much higher than the border army, and it is chasing the forbidden army.

But the key lies in an identity, the forbidden army, the only regular army in the Great Song Dynasty, the most high-end existence in the entire military system, the identity problem, is the regular forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, just on this point, it is enough to make everyone rush to it.

The system is not in it, and he will not feel his benefits, perhaps for some people, jumping through the imperial examination, becoming an official, and becoming a Zaifu, this is a road to green clouds, but I don't know how many such there are, just take the most important Jinshi in the imperial examination, for example, the general Song Dynasty admitted between 150 and 180 people, which is five times more than the Tang Dynasty.

But don't look at the number of people, in terms of time, once every three years, the population, there are only more than 100 hundreds of millions of people, and they can only be petty officials of eight or nine grades, these are actually similar to the civil servants of later generations, or a little higher, the chief clerk.

100 million people, and finally more than 100, the average to each year, only 50, this number is really not much, this is really the dragon gate, the carp jumping the dragon gate.

The forbidden army can't be compared with the follow-up soldiers, that's a world of difference, one is an official, the other is a soldier, but there is one thing, that is, the forbidden army is also an official identity, as long as you stay for a sufficient number of years, there will be promotions, promotions, and eventually become a small officer, or a certain degree of soldier.

Although this road is difficult to walk, it is also a good road, just like being admitted to public office, as long as the big ship of the Northern Song Dynasty does not sink, they will continue to live and change their fate.

Maybe some people are unlucky, at the moment of death, they are just a soldier of the forbidden army, but those who stay in the forbidden army for a certain period of time and finally successfully retire will receive preferential treatment from the government, at least the mayor of a city, or the chief of the city.

Compared with the regular officials, this is a small position, not even worth mentioning, for these peasants, it is no less than a carp jumping over the dragon gate.

Not to mention, some people are lucky, mixed with the captain of the army, right, or even the first class, their level is higher, and they are directly promoted from the status of the people to the status of officials.

After the establishment of the Xiang Army and the Border Army in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a transfer of personnel from the Xiang Army and the Border Army, and the practice of flooding the forbidden army, but that was not universal, it was merit-based, these peasants, how long did they drop their hoes, after becoming a regimental training, they changed their fate, and now they are one step to the sky, becoming a forbidden army, for a farmer's child, and can not study to change their fate, and be admitted to the imperial examination, then becoming a forbidden army is the best choice.

800 regiment training, almost one did not pull into the forbidden army, their loyalty is also rising slowly, but compared with the professional army, there is still a certain difference, after all, they are turned into a forbidden army, they do not rely on the level and strength of the business to become a forbidden army, they do not have the kind of forbidden army, where to fight, say to go on the expedition, as well as family, relationships, etc., need to be rectified for the time being, and wait until the place is confirmed here and then come over.

From leaving Miaojiazhuang, to the Daimyo's Mansion, and then to the entire Shandong Peninsula, it took more than a month, plus the time on Yuntai Mountain Island, it was almost 2 months, no matter how slow, it should be sorted out.

From Baozhou to Haizhou, it is more than 1,400 miles in total, and at the speed of 70 miles per day, it may take 20 days to walk, that is to say, even if they are fast, they will need more than ten or twenty days to arrive.

In other words, Zhao Xin still needed to stay here for more than ten days, and he would not be able to leave with Sun Ji and them until the army arrived.

3 fortresses, 800 regimental training, enough to protect the safety of Yuntai Mountain Island, not to mention that there are no pirates now, operating on the northern coast of China, because there are not many routes and ships here, even if there are, in such an island that is armed to the teeth and has a fortress as a backing, it is impossible to attack it at all.

The group practice should be about to arrive, and at the same time, there are also those craftsmen he hired, these people are different from the villagers of Miaojiazhuang, they are hired by Zhao Xin, except for a few special circumstances, where other employers go, they will go.

On the other hand, there is still some finishing work to be done, when all this is done, they will set off with the group training, and after arriving here, they will open brick kilns, cement kilns, and lime kilns on Yuntai Mountain Island.

Cement and lime, these are basically the most common building materials, Yuntai Mountain Island is a mountainous island, there are some on it, even if there is not, open a mine in Haizhou next to it, and transport it over, when the time comes, you will need a boat, nearly a hundred boats promised in advance, as well as boatmen and craftsmen who cooperate with this, must also come over as soon as possible, so that the money needed is more.

There is no way to leave for the time being, Zhao Xin needs a way to make money. First of all, it is a divine weapon, this thing is a treasure, the Northern Song Dynasty and the four capitals, the Daimyo Mansion has been raided, but Bianliang has not yet, and even the market in Bianliang is larger.

But no matter how big it is, thirty or forty thousand guan has already survived, maybe it can be sold to Western Xia or Liao.

The Liao State and the Western Xia, these are two countries that established the country by force, and the treatment of their warriors is much higher than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, and in the entire political force, the proportion of warriors is also high, and they are also very rich.

Smuggling iron weapons is treason, and he doesn't want to take this path unless it is necessary.

But it is not without a solution, in fact, those who are familiar with the army and the military know that one or two hundred divine weapons may have a little effect on a big war, but the overall effect is not large, the army relies on the formation, it is a group attack, when the victory is formed, one or two hundred divine weapons, no matter how great the ability, is to create a little more casualties for the victor, and it is powerless to change the overall situation.

For Zhao Xin, the role of one or two hundred divine weapons can be great, this may be hundreds of thousands of guan, and can even be used for some gifts from the imperial court, the sword of the Northern Song Dynasty is expensive in the Liao State and Western Xia, if you add divine weapons, it may not be worth thousands of guan, but tens of thousands, which is a win-win good thing.

These are a little far from quenching the thirst of the near, even if the relationship between Renzong and the center is done, this sales will take time, for the time being, it may only be sold in Bianliang, and it may be an average of one or two thousand per month.

However, since we talked about iron, another project could be carried out.

Divine weapons can not be produced in large quantities, fine iron knives can always be, and they are not very expensive, compared to ordinary high-quality iron knives, they are twice as expensive, but they are made of stainless steel, and there are huge purchases in the forbidden army, let alone ordinary people.

Perhaps, adding a layer of steel blades to iron objects has been very common in later generations, for places that are easy to wear, or where sharpness is required, use more durable, better performance steel, and other supporting parts are iron, which greatly reduces the cost and provides results.

After all, the non-use part, the use of steel and iron is almost the same, but the cost is much lower, the more outstanding the performance, the more expensive the steel, the more so.

Simple adjustment, not much steel is used, but it can increase the performance of various iron tools, and directly let iron tools enter the era of steel tools.

Iron farm tools, the potential and even the current market, are very vast, and under the premise that there is no way to use blast furnaces, this will maximize the use of steel.

Perhaps, the value of each steel alone will not be as high as the magic weapon, and the cost may be less than the consistent sale of more than 1,000 pieces, which is 1,000 times the income, but the total amount is more.

How huge the market for farm tools is, almost every family always has a farm tool, the demand for the entire Northern Song Dynasty may be millions, or even tens of millions, knives, all kinds of iron tools, and some tools on the bearings.

This will be one, almost more than 10 million, or even hundreds of millions of total, and there is no problem of saturation.

People need steel tools, the price is not too high, and the performance of iron is even more so, as long as a simple adjustment can be produced in large quantities.

If, on the premise that there is no other solution, Zhao Xin will be the first to go to this, focusing on farm tools and some kitchen knives and other items that are often used in daily life, expanding the scale of production, and to a certain extent, he can find a place near the Daimyo's Mansion to build a large-scale smelter.

As long as there is a certain breakthrough in iron-making technology in the future, and when a certain level is reached, these personnel who have undergone a lot of training and are skilled can be mobilized at any time.

Itself, Zhao Xin also wanted to go directly to the glass, but the idea of steel directly allowed him to solve most of the problems, as long as this can be popularized and built in large quantities, sales are not a problem at all, relying on the convenient transportation of the Daimyo's Mansion, it can be sold to the most elite areas of the entire Northern Song Dynasty.
