"Colleagues, although there will be a war, but it will inevitably cause panic, just prepare secretly, and show your means in times of crisis, I hope you will work together to fight a beautiful war." Feng Daiwen got up and clapped his hands and encouraged.

"Obey the orders of the Governor!" The voice was loud and neat, and the big and small officials got up together and responded with their hands, all of them looking confident, and in their opinion, there was not much pressure to hold on, that is to say, the credit was nine out of ten, and of course they were all very happy.

"King Bin, Goguryeo doesn't know our strength, if the situation allows, I'm afraid this time I can take the opportunity to recover Liaodong." After the rest of the people left, Feng Daiwen said to the remaining people!

"Really!" Before Ma Zhou could speak, Li Tai, who had been lame for a long time, asked excitedly.

"Of course, if you two behave well, I'll take you with me, I didn't say just now that I was worried about scaring them." Feng Daiwen nodded with a smile and said.

"It's a deal!" Li Tai said happily, for fear that Feng Daiwen would regret it, so he raised his hand to high-five him as an oath.

"Alright! As long as you meet the requirements, I will definitely take you there! The corners of Feng Daiwen's mouth rose, and he raised his hand to high-five him.

Only Ma Zhou was smiling silently, watching Feng Daiwen play tricks on his brother-in-law, after all, there is more than one way to say how this meets the requirements.

In recent years, the Tang Dynasty has developed rapidly, from the destruction of the Eastern Turks to the destruction of the Japanese Island, the easier it is to fight, it can be said that the spirit of the generals has been raised, and there is a thought that Lao Tzu is invincible in the world, and he is more looking forward to the war, especially the younger generation, who are more looking forward to fighting and dreaming of becoming famous all over the world.

"What does the Governor need to do in Zhou? How to cooperate? Ma Zhou waited for a moment and asked.

"Try your best to mobilize materials to prepare for war, it is expected that the materials for the expedition will be good, seconded blacksmiths to Youzhou and other places, recruit migrant workers, increase iron mining, and Liaoxi affairs will have to trouble King Bin, I will do my best to supervise the manufacture of weapons and equipment, and I must also transfer 5,000 Japanese slaves to be a death squad." Feng Daiwen explained.

"The governor prepares for war with peace of mind, and all chores will be done weekly!" Ma Zhou said solemnly.

"There's King Raubin! In order to facilitate the mobilization of troops, the roads in the four counties should also be repaired, and this time a group of master-level craftsmen were specially brought from the scientific research institute, and they must make achievements to scare them. Feng Daiwen said with a dark smile.

"Research institutes? Did you make something good? Ma Zhou asked curiously.

"You'll know when the time comes! Technology is the most powerful productive force. Feng Daiwen sold Guan Zi and aroused Ma Zhou's curiosity, but he didn't explain it, it was too troublesome to explain, and it was more intuitive after making it.

…………

The Qian'an Iron Ore Mountain Range is now a huge construction site covering an area of dozens of miles, not only with dozens of Wubao defenses built nearby, but also with more than 200 chain villages, more than 200,000 workers mining, and tens of thousands of cattle transporting ore every day.

More than 30 refining kilns refine ore around the clock, 10 blast furnaces refine iron ore into steel, and the burning smoke columns can be seen dozens of miles away during the day, and even more conspicuous at night, because half of the sky is reflected red.

Li Chunfeng brought a hundred masters who could make steam engines to western Liaoxi, and originally used the dock to make large steam ships, because the first small ship had been successfully tested.

However, Feng Daiwen wanted to use a large number of steam engines in the factory first, and a new weapons workshop was being built next to the steelmaking workshop, which would all use steam engines as power.

Beating, grinding, all done by the machine, after the opening of the front, sent to the soldier to sharpen, as a soldier, the maintenance of weapons and equipment is the most basic common sense, so the soldier himself sharpening is not a problem at all.

In order to carry out the excavation more quickly, the first track was officially laid, from the mine to the kiln, the original stone road was built, after the reinforcement and training, the wood was paved to absorb the shock, and the railroad track was built on the wood.

As for the car, it used the simplest open-top iron car, with wheels made of steel, the body, and the car was made of iron sheet and wooden planks, which was also driven by a steam engine.

The piston steam engine, driving the transmission shaft, after countless discussions, theoretically there is no problem, but how many goods can be driven, or an unknown, but the carriage is not long, even if the steam engine can not be used for a while, you can also use cattle and horses to pull, on the rails to pull goods, how is it easier and faster than the situation of pure stone.

There are many people and great strength, more than 20 miles of railroad straights, half a month has been paved, and the carriages have also been made several, first with war horses, a cart box can hold 50 stones (5,000 catties), four horses pulled very easily, which is more and faster than the previous wooden car.

And the mine is also equipped with a track, put the small iron car down from above, after it is full, the upper part is pulled by a cow, and the new winch is also installed with a pulley group, and it is very brisk to pull a bucket of ore on the road, all of which is improved after the scientific research institute came, so that the mining workers, the coolies opened their eyes, especially the Japanese slaves, who were simply shocked, and dug the ore completely and honestly.

Li Chunfeng is now completely stunned by machinery, and has become a mechanical maniac, looking at everything and thinking about using machinery to carry it out, and the new mining machine has also come into being under his research.

Since Qian'an Iron Mine is a shallow mine, not a mining hole, everyone is digging down around the mountain, whether it is stone or soil, all dug up.

The ore is transported away, the stones are used to repair the castle, and the soil burns the bricks, so it can be said that there is no waste at all, and it is really digging three feet into the ground, not three feet.

The mining machine is to use the strength of the steam engine to destroy the hard land, so that the miners just follow the side to sort, load, and use the steam engine to do this, the cost is lower, who let there be a large coal mine in western Liaoning, there is no pressure at all.

The steam rail car was finally made, although the front of the locomotive looked bigger than an iron car, and on the day of the trial, Feng Daiwen called Ma Zhou and others to let them witness this epoch-making event together.

Since it was only a test run, there was only one compartment behind the front of the locomotive, and as the assembly was completed, black smoke began to come out of the steam locomotive, and everyone held their breath and watched intently.

Feng Daiwen was also nervous, even more nervous than marrying Guang'an.

As the steam burned enough, the front of the car made a screeching sound, and the stubborn Li Chunfeng must be the first person to drive the steam car, and as he pushed a switch, the car began to move forward slowly.

"It's moving! It's moving! It's really moving! Li Tai jumped up excitedly and said loudly.

"Ahh You don't need cows and horses to really move forward. Ma Zhou was also taken aback when he saw the car moving forward, and in his excitement, he actually took off a few short whiskers, and suddenly a pain reminded him that this was not a dream.
