After several negotiations, the batch of arquebuses eliminated by Su Ziheng was still bought by Song Yingjun, the king of swords.

For this reason, Song Yingjun, the sword king, promised to provide Donghai Mansion with two mines in exchange for the arquebuses eliminated by Donghai Mansion, one of which was a coal mine and the other was an iron mine.

The value of coal mines is now not likely to be used in other places except for Donghai Mansion, but the iron ore really makes Song Yingjun feel a little distressed, this is a good thing for energy sources to continuously create weapons.

However, the industrial development of Song Yingjun, the sword king, is too backward, although he has his own weapon workshop, but it is a waste of time to create weapons, not to mention, the quality is not as good as that of Donghai Mansion.

Since the construction of the steelmaking furnaces in Tokai Province, iron products are now used in the production of iron products in Tokai Province, not just wrought iron.

The weapons produced by the Donghaifu Weapons Workshop are all standard, using the mold production method, and each time it is mass-produced, and then the craftsmen in the weapons workshop will refine each crude weapon. In this way, when other local weapon factories produce one weapon, the weapons workshop in Tokai Province can produce at least twenty weapons, which is not the same efficiency.

Moreover, Su Ziheng also implemented the assembly line operation method in the workshop in Donghai Prefecture, and each worker was only responsible for one part of the work processing, so that they would become more and more proficient in the work at hand, and the probability of errors would become smaller and smaller, which would invisibly increase a lot of production capacity.

……

……

In the conference room, Su Ziheng frowned and looked at the report in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "You said that the Sword King is looking at the purchase of our weapons because they have received the news that the Eastern Wei Dynasty is about to be in chaos?" ”

Zhao Wan'er nodded and said, "That's right, according to the news that the Sword King revealed to us in private, he also told us to be vigilant, maybe someone will attack us." ”

Su Ziheng asked, "Have you sent someone to investigate the source of the news in detail?" Now that the Eastern Wei Dynasty has not been calm, where can it be chaotic again? ”

Zhong Qinghan took over the words and said: "I have already arranged for the Secret Investigation Department to inquire about the news, it is said that this time the situation should not be underestimated, the eighteenth anti-king of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, I heard that several of them are forming an alliance, and it seems that there will be a big move next." ”

Su Ziheng pursed his lips when he heard this, and said: "They can do whatever they like, the more chaotic the fight, the better, and there will be more and more people fleeing at that time, which is a good thing for our Donghai Mansion." ”

Bo Yalun raised a different opinion on this: "Xianggong, you can't say that, if it is really according to the information provided by the sword king Song Yingjun, someone covets our Donghai Mansion, then the people who are accepted in must be strictly interrogated to prevent them from cooperating with the outside." ”

Su Ziheng's heart was suddenly shocked, he also figured it out, with the current three dangerous places in Donghai Mansion, it was very difficult to attack Donghai Mansion from the outside, since this was the case, choosing to break through from the inside was the best way.

As the saying goes, the strongest fortresses are often breached from within.

If someone really destroys it from within, even if they can't take the Donghai Mansion, as long as they cause huge damage to the Donghai Mansion, it will affect the development of the Donghai Mansion.

Su Ziheng turned his head, looked back at Zhong Qinghan in the first seat, and asked, "Qinghan, is the household registration system in our Donghai Mansion still being implemented?" I think it is better to take this opportunity to do another household registration check in the city, find out those who have problems, and immediately isolate them. ”

Zhong Qinghan nodded and said, "Okay, just do as you say." Later, I will ask the cold fire to send the Black Crow Army to cooperate, there are indeed a lot of people who have come to Donghai Mansion recently, if there are really saboteurs inside, it will be really a troublesome matter. ”

Zhao Wan'er hesitated and said, "Then do we want to continue to accept people in Donghai Mansion?" Now every day, there are a large number of people waiting to enter Donghai Mansion outside Jiangning Guan, Dajiang Wharf and Donghai Wharf. ”

Su Ziheng thought for a while and said: "People must still want it, but they can't be sent directly to Donghai Mansion, this is where our foundation is, and there is no room for loss." I don't think it's better to send those people to ship to Treasure Island, and now it's time to develop Treasure Island. When the time comes, the people in Zhenbao Island will be approved and then moved to Donghai Mansion, so that although it will delay the development of Donghai Mansion on the surface, it will actually have more benefits. ”

Speaking of this, Su Ziheng took a sip of tea from the teacup on the desk, and continued: "Now that there is war everywhere outside, it is already very troublesome to rely on them to transport raw materials in, and now we have to rely on us to produce raw materials ourselves." In this way, the development of Zhenbao Island will have to be put on the ground, and only when Zhenbao Island is supplied with various raw materials can the construction of Donghae Province be guaranteed. ”

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads in praise, "In this way, even if there are people with ill intentions towards Donghai Mansion, there is no way to directly destroy Donghai Mansion and let them go to Zhenbao Island to sabotage, and they may not be able to see Zhenbao Island if they want to come here." ”

Su Ziheng said with a smile: "In fact, the development of Zhenbao Island will not be too inferior to Donghai Mansion, we originally planned to develop Zhenbao Island, at most, the plan is ahead of schedule." ”

There was another point he didn't say, but everyone knew it, that is, Donghai Mansion still belonged to Great Xia in name after all, while Zhenbao Island was different, it was completely their own territory, and it was also one of their own retreats.

In the end, Zhong Qinghan clapped his hands and said: "Then it is decided, on the one hand, we will start to conduct an inventory of the East China Sea Mansion, and on the other hand, we will send all the follow-up populations to Zhenbao Island for development." ”

Su Ziheng said: "It's spring again, it's time to sow seeds, as Donghai Mansion accelerates the pace of construction, the original land to grow food will gradually not be able to catch up with the surge in population, so the first batch of people sent to Zhenbao Island must first open up the wasteland and plant, and then mine various minerals after the spring ploughing is over." ”

Although Jumbo Island is an island, its area is huge, and the area of land available for cultivation is not known to be much larger than that of Tohae Province. Moreover, the land is not barren, and it is still very simple to grow easy-to-grow crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes.

If a place wants to develop rapidly, it is inseparable from two categories: agriculture and industry. Without the development of agriculture, the common people will not even have enough to eat, so how can we talk about building anything else?

Industrial development can also lead to the development of agriculture, and many tools produced can improve the efficiency of agricultural development, and at the same time release a large number of people to do other things.

In particular, the extensive use of steam engines has made land reclamation much simpler than before, and the work that could only be done by more than ten or twenty people a day in the past is now driven by the steam engine, and one person can do it, and the improvement in efficiency is not a point or two.
