When Duan Zhengchun and Yue Laosan were drinking and having fun, Zhao Xiaoxi, who was far away on Ryukyu Island, did not rest when night fell. He is directing the relocation of the workshop from the interior to build these factories that are extremely important to him as soon as possible.

In order to ensure the safety of these factories, when Zhao Xiaoxi decided to relocate, he asked Jiang Dashi to choose a suitable place for the workshop to stay. And sent a lot of migrant workers to level out this valley that will be used for factories in the future.

Knowing the urgency of building a new city next, Zhao Xiaoxi first built a cement factory here that was developed but not mass-produced. The construction of the city in the new south city will be all built by cement bonding.

In these years, most of the city walls were built with rammed earth, which was a great waste of manpower and material resources. With cement as an alternative, it is believed that the speed of stacking the city walls will exceed the expectations of the craftsmen of this era.

In addition, Zhao Xiaoxi vetoed Jiang Dashi's plan in the planning of the new South City. The area has been expanded a lot, and even special plans have been made for commercial streets and residential areas, including the government and the city lord's mansion.

To build a city, Zhao Xiaoxi wants a success, not a little today and a little more tomorrow. As for the stones and bricks needed to build the city walls, these relocated craftsmen were also responsible.

In the future, this valley will be the top secret of the new southern city. Outside the valley, Cho Hyo-seok would also arrange for troops to be stationed. At all times, the secrets of this industrial zone must be strictly guarded.

The cement plant and the brick factory were built at the same time, because the production of cement and bricks required a kiln. At the very bottom of the valley is an ironworks that are being built intensively. A blast furnace that is different from this time is being intensively piled up.

Even by this time, it was already dark. But the construction sites of several factories are brightly lit. Everyone knows that the sooner the factory is built, the sooner they relocate the craftsmen will be able to start work.

In order to ensure the enthusiasm of these craftsmen, Zhao Xiaoxi also came to sit in person. In the past two days, I stayed in the valley, eating and living with these craftsmen. What's the problem. He can also solve it for them on the spot.

These first batch of craftsmen who came were all cultivated by Zhao Xiaoxi over the years and spent a lot of money to envelop and cultivate. Everyone has embraced a lot of technology that is ahead of its time.

And the people who impart this knowledge are some textbooks compiled by Zhao Xiaoxi when he was a child. Including how to increase the output of steelmaking, and this blast furnace currently under construction, although it will not be visible to later generations, is the largest ironmaking furnace in this era.

Accompanied by various supplies. All of them were personally guarded by Li Yuncong and sent to this valley. The most lively place these days is undoubtedly this, located in a valley that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

When Zhao Xiaoxi felt that the craftsmen were too fortunate to do it today, he hurriedly arranged for the chef in charge of the diet in the valley. Preparing a hearty supper for these workers is a relatively rare treat in this era.

Smelling the smell of meat wafting from the pot, several foremen on the busy construction site. also shouted at the top of his voice: "Big guys, hurry up and finish today's things quickly." Wait a minute, you can eat that fragrant fat meat! ”

Workers at work. They also know that being able to eat a meal of meat is a luxury for them. In these years, even if they stay in the secret camp, they can only eat it during the New Year's holidays or work rewards.

Now on this isolated island, they live in a house that has been built in advance. The family members who came with them all enjoyed the super high treatment of food and accommodation. For these craftsmen, it can be described as a good thing that is hard to find with a lantern.

As the work at hand was over, the foremen said in a loud voice: "Okay, everyone hurry up and wash off the stinky sweat on their bodies." Wait next to the square for dinner. This is the prince's reward for you, you have to know how to repay it! ”

Compared with the treatment of these ordinary craftsmen, the treatment of these foremen is undoubtedly better. And their degree of knowledge is naturally higher than that of ordinary workers. Even if they moved here, the foremen were happy with their lives today.

Everyone knows that they can have where they are today and can support their family with a job, which is Zhao Xiaoxi's gift to them. In the past, when they were in the secret camp, they were more experimenting, and there was rarely such work as this one.

This time, I learned that Zhao Xiaoxi asked them to convert all the successful technologies tested in the secret camp into production capacity. Every foreman felt that they finally had a chance to repay Cho Hyo-seok for their kindness.

When the workers of each construction site, led by their respective foremen, came to the square one after another. Looking at the steaming cauldron of meat and vegetables, and the dry rice, every worker felt hungry.

Zhao Xiaoxi didn't say anything, and directly ordered the meal. The workers, who were accustomed to queuing for food, quickly lined up to pick up the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the cooks to follow, took the food, and then squatted in one place to eat.

This kind of collective labor and collective eating also adds a lively scene to this silent valley at night. As for Zhao Xiaoxi, he accompanied several masters who were appointed as the head of the workshop to eat.

The masters who are qualified to be the head of the workshop are all craftsmen who have thoroughly understood the tasks assigned by Zhao Xiaoxi. They don't have to work in person like these workers, they just need to stay on the sidelines and guide the construction.

When the factory was built with this supervision, they also knew that they would wait until the factory was built. Whether he can transform what he tested in the secret camp into what Zhao Xiaoxi needs, he is somewhat uncertain.

Fortunately, they knew that the construction of these kilns had been carried out countless times in the secret camp. At this time, as long as you are more careful and supervise the construction of the workers, there will be no mistakes.

For this reason, these workshop masters, although they do not have to do manual work. But at the end of the day, everyone's voice was almost hoarse. After all, being an overseer is also a lot of work.

The director in charge of the ironmaking plant said while eating: "Lord, this blast furnace will be completed in two days. At that time, the ore we bring will only be smelted in a few furnaces and we will face a shortage of ore. How to solve it then? ”

Hearing the inquiry of the workshop owner, Zhao Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already handed over this iron ore to the Ministry of Rites to let those merchants transport it to us." Also, when the factory officially starts making steel and iron, you draw a few people to go around the island.

As far as I know, there are also carboniferous and iron ore mines on this island. In addition, on the island of Banbang outside of the Ryukyus, various minerals are waiting for us to discover. If we can find some gold and silver mines, we won't have to worry about money in the future! ”

In fact, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't say it, he knew in his heart that there were gold mountains and silver mountains there. It's just that there are some things that have to be taken step by step. If you are too anxious, it is not good to take too big a step. Build the factory first, and there will always be a way to solve the problem.

At present, Zhao Xiaoxi's skeleton pirate group has a good relationship with various merchants along the coast. To acquire some ore, it must not be too much of a problem. It's just that this kind of transportation cost is relatively high.

If the hidden mineral deposits on the treasure island can be found, I believe that it will not greatly reduce the cost for these workshops. Of course, after the next step of Zhao Xiaoxi's reorganization, he planned to let them go to the surrounding islands to promote force.

Although in this era, there are not many island countries that have really established their country. But some indigenous tribes are still not small. Many of the Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants traded with these indigenous tribes by bartering for goods.

With these businessmen who regard money as their fate as a striker, Cho Hyo-seok can guarantee that in the future, the reorganization of the Navy will end. He can be hard with one hand and soft with the other, and let these natives of Fanbang find what he needs for him.

Compared with the civilization level of the Great Song Dynasty, most of these indigenous tribes living on the islands are still in a relatively primitive state of life. Although there is a class division, compared with the system of the Great Song Kingdom, it is undoubtedly much behind.

At this time, the European colonists were not yet able to cross the ocean to come here. This means that anywhere on the southeast coast, as long as Zhao Xiaoxi builds a navy, no one dares to resist his colonization.

If any country wants to revive and rise quickly, there is inevitably a bloody process. For Cho Hyo-seok, God gave him this opportunity. Then he wants to turn all these overseas territories into a happy land for the Han people.

The reason why they don't choose to kill them all is more because they need to act as porters. The materials he needs are constantly transported to the treasure island. By the way, let these natives act as pathfinders and find out what he needs.

Once the time is ripe, when he marches into the Central Plains, it is also a time for rapid overseas immigration. At that time, maybe the people of the Great Song Dynasty don't have to feel that there is little land, and the family will never have enough to eat.

As long as they are willing to move overseas, there will be both the Great Song Dynasty government to escort them, and there will be endless fertile land waiting for them to plant. The only deficiency is nothing more than staying away from the homeland.

However, when the immigration policy is implemented, the corresponding shipping will also be carried out. The shipyard currently being built in the port is also expanding rapidly. The kind of big ships that are suitable for sailing in the sea will also continue to be produced.

In short, today's valley is just the beginning, and in the future, such a factory will continue to expand. What is produced here will also be converted into his capital to dominate the world.

He hopes that through this new southern city, he will tell the people of the Great Song Dynasty who are currently closed to news. Outside of this Great Song Dynasty, it is not the wilderness they imagined. On the contrary, it is a place of hope and opportunity.

As long as they have the adventurous spirit and dare to venture outside, they will know. What a ridiculous thing it is to guard one's acre and three points of land. After all, there are so many fields that can be cultivated overseas! (To be continued......)
