After Lu Batu left, Ye Chen began to arrange them, which could have been handed over to Wu Xian, the general manager, but now that he is not here, he can only do it himself.

In order to implement the matter and not let Lu Batu regret it, Ye Chen ordered the materials to start shipping on the same day, and set off the next day.

The reason why the efficiency can be fast is because the caravan has been idle recently, and the south is still developing, so there is no need for a huge caravan for the time being, so there is no problem at all in terms of personnel.

Although there is a lot of 5,000 jars of Du Kang wine, due to the post-war economic depression in Youzhou, those agents have reduced their orders, so there is a lot of surplus wine in the Ye family's warehouse, so there is no problem with the goods.

This time, Ye Chen also sent a thousand guard battalions to follow, but the guard battalion did not follow the team to protect, but followed a few kilometers behind, and another scout passed the news back and forth.

After all, he had just fought with the Wuhuan people, maybe the Wuhuan people sent someone to yin him, so he had to be careful, but if he changed the delivery location to the border, even if there was an accident, the escort battalion could calmly retreat, as for the escort caravan, it depended on the arrangement of the Wuhuan people.

Now that the Ye family is on the right track, the post-war reconstruction work has been completed, and now the busier thing is spring ploughing, but spring ploughing does not need Ye Chen to worry about at all, after the tools are distributed, the farmers will go to plant the fields by themselves.

The Ye family is not a big deal, Ye Chen wants to go to the county to see, the county is the focus of the next few years, now the focus of the Ye family has shifted there, and in a short time, the county will be heavier than the Ye family's headquarters.

Ye Chen took a few people and rode a fast horse, and the main reason for bringing a few people was to be a messenger, after all, he couldn't ignore everything, and if there was anything important, people would still report it quickly.

Fast horses galloped, set off in the morning, and arrived in the evening to Yuxian.

Ye Chen didn't go to Bai Feng immediately, but wanted to go around by himself first, he didn't do this because he didn't trust Bai Feng, but if he let Bai Feng take it, it would affect his normal work, because this county must be very busy now; The second is that I can't see some of the places that Bai Feng has ignored, after all, he is a person, not a god, and it is normal to ignore it.

After resting for one night, Ye Chen took a few people to start his trip to Yuxian County the next morning.

Ye Chen and the others were all dressed in ordinary clothes, not riding horses, like tourists and businessmen.

The first thing Ye Chen wants to see is the resettlement of displaced people, the original population of the county was not much, only more than 10,000 people, but now the population of the county is more than 200,000, this resettlement of the displaced people is definitely a huge project.

The resettlement of displaced people was arranged according to farms, farm by farm, and Bai Feng separated them all, with only a few dozen households in small farms and only a few hundred households in large farms.

As a result, farms and farmers are very dispersed. Bai Feng has explained to Ye Chen about this, the advantage of such an arrangement is that it will not attract the attention of others, if it is not specially investigated, it is difficult to find out how many people have been arranged in Yuxian.

In addition, it is possible to develop the county as much as possible, and when a large number of displaced people are arranged in the future, there will be a stronghold one by one, and the personnel will be directly led to the stronghold for the villagers to help resettle, so that it is very fast, and now that the county has stabilized, if more than 100,000 displaced people are arranged, as long as enough food and production tools are prepared, the displaced people can be resettled in a few days.

Ye Chen agrees very much with this, and will definitely recruit a lot of displaced people in the future, and the pressure will be very small at that time, more than 100,000 people, scattered to various farms, and then as long as the grain and production tools are transported to various farms, the resettlement work will be basically completed, and the efficiency is very high.

Ye Chen walked to several farms, and the development of life and production here is very orderly, and now it is in the busy season of farming, most of the farmers are busy in the fields, and of course, there are people who specialize in making fertilizer.

At present, the only problem found is that the tools in the hands of the farmers are still not enough, but there is no way, Ye Chen has done his best to build it, but he has placed so many people at once, he really doesn't have the ability.

Ye Chen spent two days walking most of the farms, and in Ye Chen's opinion, he did a very good job, at least all the homeless people had settled down, there was food to eat, and there was work to do, so there would be no chaos.

Next, Ye Chen went to see the construction of the workshop, this Ye Chen had asked at the beginning that it must be built in a place near the sea, so Bai Feng built the workshop about ten kilometers away from the sea, where the back is against the mountain, facing the sea, which is easier to control, and there is a small river next to the sea.

This location is very ideal, Ye Chen and the others were already targeted when they approached the workshop, which was relatively heavily guarded and not open to the public.

Five hundred meters away from the workshop, Ye Chen and his party were stopped.

However, some of the guards here were the five hundred guard battalions brought by Ye Chen, and after the war, they returned to the county to station, training and protecting the workshop here.

Ye Chen belonged to the personnel who had the permission to enter the workshop freely, so it was easy to enter after revealing his identity, after all, Ye Chen was very familiar with the group of escort battalions he had trained before, and most of them could be named.

Ye Chen stayed in the workshop for a day, inspecting it inside and out.

Now that the brewing workshop and the casting workshop have begun to produce, these two workshops have been built very large according to Ye Chen's requirements, and the brewing workshop is needless to say, which is the Ye family's current largest source of wealth.

The foundry workshop, in the future, will build weapons, and currently want to build farm tools, and the current farm tools are still very scarce, so the casting workshop has been working overtime to produce, but they have all issued enough overtime bonuses in accordance with Ye Chen's regulations.

After inspecting these two parts, Ye Chen planned to go to the most important shipyard to take a look, which represented the hope of the Ye family's future and was also the place where the Ye family had invested the most at present.

"Lord, why are you here?"

When he was in the shipyard, Ye Chen ran into Bai Feng, and it was not strange for him to appear here, after all, the shipyard was too important to Ye Chen and them.

"Now there is nothing big about the Ye family's headquarters, I'll come here to take a look." Ye Chen continued: "Tell me about the situation in the shipyard. ”

"Okay, my lord, come with me.

”

Now the shipyard is very huge, has expanded to cover an area of several hundred acres, and there are nearly 10,000 craftsmen of all kinds.

"Lord, look, this dock is the largest ship we have researched so far, which can carry about 500 people, and if you can load grain, it can also carry about 15,000 stones."

About 10,000 stone of grain is about 400 tons, and ships of more than 400 tons have no problem sailing in the coastal waters, and they can go south along the coastline when the time comes.

"Well, yes, yes, this money was not spent in vain."

"The lord is not only, this boat is for training, in order to run in the boatman's use, this time we have hired thousands of shipwrights from the south, and this ship will be a bigger ship after it is built." Bai Feng said very confidently.

The shipyard also poured a lot of effort into him, because he also knew that Ye Chen's overall strategic ship was the top priority, and with the ship, the Ye family would be alive in Liaodong, and he could quickly expand the business.

Therefore, as soon as Bai Feng came to Yuxian, he began to vigorously expand the shipyard, and at the same time sent people to the south to hire shipwrights. At this time, no one paid attention to the boatsmith at all, and he was mixed with the food and clothing line, so Bai Feng offered very tempting conditions and took their whole family over, so that he could recruit thousands of experienced shipwrights in a short period of time.

"Okay, but I don't know how many can be built at the same time if you build a big ship, and it's useless if you don't have it." Sea freight only

"My lord, we already have more than a dozen docks under construction, and according to your standards, they are all large docks, even if the ships are upgraded in the future, the docks will be enough."

"Well, yes, well done. Now how long does it take for a ship to be built. ”

"We are sure that we will build a big ship in three months, and these workers are very skilled workers, because we have been letting them build small boats for practice now, so it is no problem to build a dozen at the same time."

In this way, Ye Chen calculated, about four or five months later, the Ye family will have the first fleet, but the transportation volume is not very large, it can transport about 150,000 stone of grain at a time, of course, the transportation volume is definitely more than that, but it needs to transport personnel and fresh water, etc., so it can only transport goods of more than 100,000 stones.

However, to have such a fleet, money is a must, and Ye Chen estimates that he will have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars before the fleet can be built.

"Zimo, this dock can be built."

"Not yet, but construction has already started, and now tens of thousands of people are building the terminal at the same time, and it is expected to be completed in three months." Bai Feng and Ye Chen said as they walked, and at this time they had already walked to the position of the dock.

Outside the pier is the endless sea, where tens of thousands of people are working and a large stretch of the coast is full of busy people.

"Zimo, how much more money is expected to be invested."

"Of the 500 million money you allocated, there are still 300 million left, and if you want to build a fleet, I'm afraid you will have to invest another 500 million." These white winds had already been calculated, so as soon as Ye Chen asked, he answered very naturally.

500 million, Ye Chen can still take it out, because soon the Mi family will send money, and the agency fee is almost more than 100 million, but the payment Ye Chen let the Mi family exchange food, but the transaction with the Wuhuan people has also begun.

The Wuhuan people estimated that they had collected more than 2 billion yuan from the entire Youzhou this time, and they didn't have much use for the money, so they could only use it to buy supplies from the Han people, but the Ye family was definitely their first choice, so Ye Chen was sure to slowly take out all their money.

Ye Chen stayed in the shipyard that day, and learned about the shipyard inside and out, Ye Chen was still very confident in forming a fleet by himself, more than a billion smashed down, if he couldn't smash out a fleet, then Ye Chen should go crazy.
