This is a hillside, standing here can overlook the whole of Jiangning County, outside of Jiangning County, flowing Qinhuai River, which has to accept countless foreign businessmen and all kinds of people every day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiangning has the largest chamber of commerce in eastern Zhejiang, the Dragon and Tiger Chamber of Commerce, and the goods that go out through the Longhu Chamber of Commerce every year can not be counted at all.

However, Jiangning County's innovative industry is slightly inferior to that of Hanyang County, which is adjacent to Jingzhou, and Hanyang County is the birthplace of innovation inheritance since ancient times.

In his previous life, Sun Qi often heard of 'Hanyang-made' firearms, and the Chinese people basically heard of Hanyang-made, as if there was some subtle connection, Hanyang in Jingzhou, just like Jiangning in Yangzhou, is an important innovative industrial area in a state.

What is an innovative industrial place, that is, some ordinary people are difficult to reach, only the place where the master of machine manufacturing gathers, is the place of innovation.

Jiangning sits in the land machine, and its unique invention of irrigation water wheel and new cultivator makes Jiangning the first agricultural province in the southeast, and the master of machine construction is like a landmark building in a region, as eye-catching as the stars.

At the same time, Jingzhou is also a large state of iron ore production, and the iron ore in its state, whether it is pyrite or miscellaneous iron ore, is higher than the spread rate and development rate of Yangzhou.

Feng Chuan asked the county guards of Jingzhou counties to introduce new iron ore blood for Jiangning, and if there were statisticians to calculate the iron ore production of the two states, the following conclusions would be drawn.

The annual output of iron mines in Jingzhou is about ten tons, and the annual output of Yangzhou hovers around eight tons.

The total steel production of Europe in the Dark Ages of the Middle Ages barely reached 10 tons, but the Industrial Revolution was like a super-large PCR amplifier, which increased European steel production thousands of times.

"How many resources do we have in our vault?"

In a quiet garden, a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, a cup of tea, a stone bench, among the green mountains, people's mood will be relaxed, Sun Qi said goodbye to heavy affairs for the time being, he needs to think, the future road needs to think, the future of Jiangning County needs to think, and all this needs a quiet atmosphere.

"There are about forty tons of iron, hundreds of barrels of that stagnant water, gold and silver...."

Stagnant water refers to oil, which is useless at present, but according to Zhang Wenzhong's report, about forty tons of iron is enough to cast several steam engines, and the body of the steam locomotive probably needs several tons of iron, which should be enough, Sun Qi's idea is to wait for the support of Jingzhou Iron Mine to arrive and then seek a higher level of development.

Compared with the bronze sword, although the iron sword is sharper, the higher layer is the light steel sword, a soldier in a light steel suit, if the physical strength is the same as the opponent's, it can kill a soldier in a bronze suit in seconds.

In daily life, iron ore is used in a large number of agricultural tools and weapons, and it is said in the history books of the previous life that before the five dynasties, the army was equipped with copper swords, and it was not until the Tang and Song dynasties that iron swords were popularized to the army like eating and drinking.

Nowadays, the local army is basically equipped with copper swords, and only a small number of high-ranking generals or elite troops are qualified to be equipped with iron swords.

To a certain extent, the iron sword is many times stronger than the copper sword in terms of toughness, hardness, and sharpness, all in all, it is the metallurgical industry that restricts the promotion of the iron sword, if you have the ability to equip an iron sword and iron armor troops, then you can definitely sweep the entire continent.

Speaking of it now, Sun Qi does not attach much importance to this aspect of the military, originally wanted to directly cross the era of pure iron cold weapons, directly to the era of hot weapons, this idea is really wrong, no matter what era, we must follow certain laws, if you want to reach the era of hot weapons, you must first completely popularize iron weapons, if one day, every low-level soldier in the army is equipped with a sharp iron sword, then the times will really progress.

In addition, Wu County united with the other four counties to restrict trade cooperation with Jiangning County, but fortunately, Feng Chuan opened up another territory and introduced iron ore from Jingzhou, which effectively solved the situation of iron ore shortage in Jiangning County.

Jiangning County's urgent need was solved, but the Hao Chamber of Commerce in the other five counties were not happy, and the people of the five counties were not happy.

Why, after they restricted the trade with Jiangning, Jiangning County also restricted the export to them, winter came, the temperature plummeted, Jiangning County's briquettes, Jiangning County's padded jackets, Jiangning County's everything that seemed novel and useful, no longer sold to them.

The county guard office of Wu County was blocked almost every day, and the people's appeals were endless, and the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce Dart Bureau also came to Wu Guibao for discussion.

"Lord County Shou, you give us a comment, we still can't do this business, originally introduced a Tianshen Suo watch and printing press from Jiangning, and then resold it into our county, then we can double the profit, now it's good, you directly issued a ban on trade, and the small ones are not satisfied."

Many chamber of commerce leaders are protesting, the gate of the county guard mansion was overcrowded for a while, the cloth shoes of the people of the garrison department were stepped on, and the hats were all washed back by the crowd.

The peasants even beat the drum one by one to appeal, and the drum in front of the gate of the county guard was about to be beaten to pieces, which shows the strong will of the people to appeal.

"Lord County Shou, let's restore peace with Jiang Ning, although there is a thorn on it, but the paper can't hold the fire, if the officials and the household department know that we are disrupting the economic order in private, we..."

Wu Guibao's mind at the moment is also entangled in black and white, although the economic sanctions have a lot of blows to Jiangning, but the damage of the double-edged sword is two-way, killing a thousand enemies and self-damage is more than eight hundred, it is about to double, the people have plummeted, and the satisfaction of the Chamber of Commerce and the Dart Bureau with the official uniform has also dropped geometrically, Wu Guibao has suffered several very thrilling assassinations in the past few days.

"Just tie Sun Qi to my Wu County and let him serve my Wu County, then our county will inevitably develop into the strongest among the six counties in the south of the Yangtze River, even if the Japanese invaders, we will have the ability to resist them, and even kill them to Quarry Rock!"

Wu Guibao had a different calculation in his heart, if he could use the lifting of economic sanctions as a bargaining chip to exchange Sun Qi, then his Spring and Autumn Great Cause would be completed at an extremely fast speed.

His subordinates echoed him, and Wu Guibao made an appointment with Feng Chuan again on the same day, and the chips were very conspicuous, including Wu County's cancellation of economic sanctions against Jiangning, but Sun Qi had to be transferred to Wu County to work.
