Due to the development of local iron mines, the population of the iron city has increased greatly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to the 20,000 slave laborers, the craftsmen and their families, the common people who farmed, and the families of the broken and relocated troops stationed here together exceeded 20,000.

Therefore, Li Yu changed the cast iron city to a cast iron county, placed the casting state, and Liu Tao, the general of the broken army, temporarily assassinated the history.

"Jun Xun, don't make trouble......"

Xin'er kept twisting in Li Yu's arms, and said with a shyness on her face: "This is the output report of the ironmaking workshop in the Cast Iron City that you wanted, sent by Gensheng, the founder of the ironmaking workshop in the iron city, about the last quarter." ”

"Xin'er, you are really my good assistant!" Li Yu smiled a little, casually put the report on the desk, completely ignoring Xin'er, who was blushing and delicate, wrapped his hands around Xin'er's small waist, and kept stroking back and forth on the concave and delicate delicate body, and let her go after enough hand addiction.

Xin'er's face was full of crimson, she fled from Li Yu's clutches in embarrassment, tidied up her messy clothes, her charming willow eyebrows glanced at Li Yu, and her seductive red lips scolded: "Jun Xun, you are really getting more and more improper!" ”

In this study, Li Yu smiled lewdly without any scruples: "It's not that Sister Xin'er is becoming more and more delicate and attractive, and it is difficult to control Ben Ying's love for a while!" ”

"Humph! Jun Xun, you are really a complete disciple! ”

"Only for you."

Xin'er snorted lightly, pretending to be arrogant and unreasonable, and sat on the sit a few steps away from Li Yu and calmly hummed a small song and sipped tea, but she was overjoyed in her heart.

Li Yu picked up the last quarter's report of the ironworks, and looked down at Li Yu's smile.

The report clearly records that the ironmaking workshop was put into operation in the last quarter with the construction of 100 iron-making blast furnaces, which can produce 500 tons of iron per month, and more than 1,500 tons of iron and 600 tons of steel in the last quarter. (Li Yu introduced a higher weight unit "ton" in later generations on the basis of a thousand catties)

He gave a detailed explanation of the tasks assigned by the Metropolitan Protectorate, such as the preparation of plowshares, sickles, iron pots, hoes, axes, and other agricultural tools for the immigrants and the provision of iron materials to the resettlement prefectures.

The victims of the Central Plains have not yet been transported to Anton, and the resettlement situation will be completely completed by the end of June.

According to the report, the production capacity of the ironworks has increased more than five times since the beginning of the year, and the number of craftsmen has expanded significantly in the previous quarter, so that the production of agricultural tools to meet the needs of the settlers in the next month or so will not be a problem at all.

In the last quarter, under the emergency situation of spring ploughing due to resettlement, Li Yu ordered the ironworks that had just begun to produce iron to mainly produce agricultural tools, supplemented by weapons and armor.

Now the demand for agricultural tools is not urgent, Li Yu wants to adjust the main production direction of the ironworks to a series of military supplies such as weapons and armor.

Especially a few days ago, Li Yu finalized the weapons and armor needed for the new Wufeng, Qilingwei, Liangyi and Second Holy Army and Xinliao Eighth Army.

The new army will be organized in May, June and July during the agricultural slack, and Li Yu thought that he had to quickly order the ironworks to hurry up the production of weapons and armor from now on, otherwise the new army would not even be able to gather weapons during training, and it would be a joke.

Li Yu immediately drafted a new production task to be sent to the ironworking workshop to advocate the root of the new production, and ordered the maid to pass it to Xue Yao, the military officer of the secretary's office, and ordered him to send it to the ironworking workshop.

After reviewing today's work, Li Yu raised his head and saw Xin'er sitting quietly in the collapse, leisurely drinking tea and reading.

Li Yu rubbed his head, as if two familiar and intimate people had disappeared in recent days.

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that Yang Shiyan and Li Cailing, who used to be constantly chattering in their ears, haven't seen each other for several days.

"Sister Xin'er, why haven't Shi Yan and Cai Ling seen anyone for a few days?"

Xin'er covered her mouth and chuckled when she heard this: "Jun Xun, you just found out now?" If Shi Yan and Cai Ling hear this, they will have to come back and make trouble with you. ”

"Oh? Where did the two little ladies go? ”

"Take someone to organize a boat to go to Yalu Water to fish for Dongzhu!"

Li Yu was shocked: "When did they go?" What if you encounter the remnants of the Goguryeo rebels on the way? ”

"Don't worry, my Jun Xun, they have taken out fifty skilled ladies from the right guard of Xiuyi to follow, and they can bring a lot of bows and crossbows and arrows. Two ships and thirty sailors were transferred from Jiaolong Haihang, and the boats were on the water, and the remnants of the rebels in the jungle could not do anything about them. ”

"That'll do, but just to be on the safe side, I'll have to keep an eye on the garrisons along the Yalu River to avoid accidents."

Li Yu in Pyongyang was worried about the two beautiful girls who ran to the Yalu water, but they had an accident, and the two died of incense, and Li Yu had to die of grief. A special 800-li urgent messenger was used to send an order to Cheng Boxian, the governor of the Wucheng Prefecture Governor's Mansion, and Liang Chengye, the general of the Dingman army who guarded the country and the pill capital, and sent troops to guard Yang Shiyan and Li Cailing along the way.

The second daughter, who didn't know what Li Yu was worried about, was standing at the bow of the boat in high spirits, directing more than 100 people with experience in mussel picking from the Yalu water coast to dive into the water to collect mussels, which was quite a bit of a point of pointing out the country.

In late April, the ice and snow in the Northeast have already fused, which is the best time to collect East Pearls, but in two days, Yang Shiyan's recruited pearl divers have collected 13 large and small East Pearls.

Dongzhu is rare because of its round and huge texture, crystal clear color, and it is difficult to obtain it, and it is often difficult to find one in the mainland of Datang. In the nearly 20-year-long war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, the pearl diving industry in Liaodong, which was not very prosperous, was directly exhausted, so that Li Yu quelled the rebellion of the remnants of Goguryeo, and even a high-grade Dongzhu was not captured.

What Li Cailing is playing with is the only one of the East Pearls collected in the past two days that has reached the top grade.

"Sister Shiyan, you said that if this Dongzhu is taken to Chang'an East City to buy, will it be sold for thirty yuan?"

"Thirty runs?"

Yang Shiyan snatched the Dongzhu in Li Cailing's hand, pressed Li Cailing's delicate forehead and said angrily: "My sister Cailing, you are a loser!" This is a top-grade Dongzhu, which is hard to find in Datang, how can it be more than thirty times? I'm going to sell 300 yuan, which is too low. ”

"So expensive?" Li Cailing's cherry mouth opened into an O-shape, "Sister Shiyan, you didn't lie to me, did you?" ”

"Or else?"

Li Cailing looked at the auspicious Dongzhu in Yang Shiyan's hand, and strings of glowing stars flashed in her willow eyebrows, to be exact, gold ingots. I thought in my heart, if I picked more than 20 pieces, wouldn't it be thousands of dollars in my hands?

If Yang Shiyan knew what Li Cailing was thinking, she would definitely scoff at it, and if she didn't keep the top-grade Dongzhu by herself, she would exchange it for those copper stinky and bulky copper coins that were going to die, isn't it stupid? Copper coins will depreciate, and the top-grade Dongzhu will not only not reduce the price, but will rise.

Suddenly remembered something, Yang Shiyan's smile was like a warm spring breeze blowing through Li Cailing's fresh and beautiful face, and said with a smile: "Cailing, you know that my sister likes Dongzhu very much, and I didn't get one last year when I got rid of Siyang, so I have to organize people to do pearl diving by myself now." This winter pearl will go to my sister first, okay? ”

"Oh, well!" Thinking that he would want this pearl that had been harvested in Yalu water for a long time as planned, Li Cailing generously gave the first high-grade Dongzhu to Sister Shiyan.

Yang Shiyan happily pulled up Li Cailing's smooth and tender hands, and shouted affectionately: "Sister Cailing is so good...... promised to send Li Cailing the same high-quality Kunlun jade pendant when she goes back.

Holding the Dongzhu in his hand aimed at the sun, exuding a colorful luster, Yang Shiyan was overjoyed, thinking about what kind of jewelry to inlay it on after going back, and then it would be brilliant to wear, showing nobility and luxury.
