Chapter 203: Industrial Towns

Huang Yu no longer laughed, but put forward her opinion with a serious expression, since the imperial court sent someone to investigate, it means that the emperor is actually vacillating in his heart, he doesn't want to be swayed by important ministers, and he doesn't believe that Li Xin will do such a thing lightly. And pointed out the crux of the problem.

"The reason why the emperor is vacillating is that Brother Li suffers because he cannot establish direct contact with the current emperor...... Over time, it is impossible to continue to consolidate trust, and there are many people who provoke it. ”

Li Xin's eyes suddenly lit up, indeed, when he heard that Xiong Kaiyuan had made a false accusation, he did have a sense of powerlessness, if it weren't for the defeat of the Mongolian Han Department in Yang Hewei, and he still held some credit in his hand, this time it would really be yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, and it was not but was. He suddenly remembered the secret folding system of the Qing Dynasty, and found an opportunity to suggest that Emperor Chongzhen also adopt this system, and he believed that no one would not dislike this system if there was an emperor with a strong desire for power.

Extensive granting of the right to make secret recitals to his subordinates can not only be used to show favor to his subordinates, but also can be directly presented to the emperor without going through normal channels, and without the intervention of the cabinet, the emperor has only first-hand information. In this way, the emperor can truly understand the major events in the world without leaving home.

Huang Yu saw that Li Xin was distracted, and called twice in a row before pulling him back.

"I really can't rest assured that Daddy, although this time it may be that the gangsters deliberately lied, but I can't always rest assured if I can't see it, so I ......"

"Isn't Little Brother Mo still going back to Daizhou?" Li Xin is worried about her safety, that group of unknown people can be regarded as retreating, since they can plot once, they can plot twice, three times, and it is too dangerous to go back, so they resolutely disagree with Huang Yu's return to Daizhou.

But Huang Yu insisted on returning to Daizhou, and Li Xin had to take a step back and compromise.

"Since the younger brother insists on leaving, Li Xin will not stop you, and my brother Lu Jiu will escort you back to Daizhou, and if you want to come, that group of thieves will not be able to intervene......"

Huang Yu once again resolutely objected, saying that Lu Jiu was Li Xin's right-hand man, how could he do it without him. This time, Li Xin said that he would not compromise anything, and simply gave her two options. First, Lu Jiu escorted him back and took him away. Second, he would forcibly take her back to the town guards. Li Xin's attitude could not be questioned and opposed, so Huang Yu had no choice but to readily agree.

Huang Yu asked another question before leaving.

"As far as I know, Brother Li once burned all the corpses of the Qiu family, so how did Qiu Gong's head flow out, which must be guarded against!"

Seeing Huang Yu, who had been going south, gradually disappearing at the end of the road covered by mountains and forests, Li Xin took more than a dozen family members around him towards the Baideng checkpoint like a storm. Originally, Li Xin planned to return to Zhenyuwei directly, but he changed his mind halfway, and the iron works and iron mines built by Albert and Heisenberg were nearby, so why not take this opportunity to take a look.

Leaving Bai Deng, that is, more than ten miles, I saw a mighty group of people and horses in the distance, all of which were covered with various clothes and armor, which were unbearable, and Li Xin really jumped, didn't he meet a thief again?

But after a closer look, it was found that this group of people was holding the banner of the town guard, and the person that my aunt was worried about was none other than Shi Datuo. Li Xin wondered, didn't Shi Datuo assist Qian Tai in defending the city in the town guard, why did he come here, could it be that there was a situation in the town guard of the town guard?

After being stunned, Shi Datuo had already come to Li Xin and dismounted to salute, and without waiting for Shi Datuo to speak, Li Xin split his head and asked:

"Shi Qianhu, you are no longer guarding the guards, what are you doing here?"

Shi Datuo looked relieved.

"Qian Zhenfu said that the chief soldier may be attacked near Baideng, and he specially invited the villain to give the adult a strong voice."

Shi Datuo deliberately bit the word please very hard, as early as when Gu Tong was in power, he was at odds with Qian Tai, and the two also had conflicts from time to time, and now Li Xin is in power, although he no longer dismantles each other, he is still secretly competing. This time, Li Xin may encounter an accident, otherwise he would not be too lazy to take care of that Qiantai.

After listening to Shi Datuo's explanation, Li Xin couldn't help but look at Qian Tai and Shi Datuo a little impressed, it seems that people are constantly growing, Shi Datuo and Qian Tai have always been unable to control anyone, no one listens to anyone, and now they can take into account the overall situation and abandon the previous suspicions, which is a big progress.

Looking at the people led by Shi Datuo at a glance, it can be seen at a glance that the military households temporarily recruited from the Thousand Households have the appearance of three or four hundred people.

Shi Datuo saw that Li Xin had gotten off the official road and had already taken the path that he had stepped on temporarily, so he asked:

"Isn't this my lord going to directly suppress the guards? It just so happened that the villain came and came, so the villain escorted the adult. ”

Li Xin waved his hand again and again, "No need, you take them back to the town guards, they will go to the iron factory, and they may not be able to go back at night." Halfway through speaking, Li Xin added: "Don't let them go empty, go back to find Qiantai, and pay one or two pieces of silver each." After saying that, he continued to urge the horse forward, it was not early, and he had to hurry to see the specific situation and progress of the iron factory and iron mine before dark, and did not want to delay too much time on the road.

Shi Datuo responded, but he still followed cheekily, "They can go back on their own, and the villain and his subordinates still protect the adults safely." ”

Li Xin thought about it, after all, he was only a dozen people, although Shi Datuo's one hundred and ten riders did not have much combat effectiveness, it was more than enough to bluff people, and it was good to suppress those bandits who had thoughts of wrongdoing.

The group got off the official road and walked straight west for an hour before arriving at the site of the iron factory.

The vision is very different from what Li Xin imagined, there is no factory and no decent equipment, there are some deep pits of different sizes, this is a gentle hillside, the whole slope has been dug in almost every good place, and the deep pits above are like patches, dotted on it.

When Heisenberg and Albert heard that Lee Shin was coming, they both came out of their makeshift shacks. Dressed in the local suede jackets and dogskin boots, the two men would have been indistinguishable from the locals at this time if it weren't for their deep-eyed faces and red and yellow hair, which indicated their Westerner status.

Li Xin pointed to the deep pits of different sizes and scattered all over the slopes and asked, "This is the site of the iron factory?" ”

Albert nodded his head, his eyes full of excitement, and replied in half-baked Chinese: "Iron ore is located under this hillside, and the preliminary judgment is that the reserves are not small. ”

Heisenberg, on the side, began to protest loudly.

"I protest, Lord Commander, I am training artillery for Lord Commander, not as a mining foreman......"

Of course, the half-baked Chinese is also used. This is really Li Xin's negligence, he always feels that the construction and operation of artillery are all in the same process, and it is understandable to let Heisenberg participate in this matter. Just listen to Heisenberg still continuing his protests.

"Now, most of my time is spent in this place where birds don't, and my artillerymen have no commanders, like sheep without shepherds, without good training and discipline, and when the battle starts, they will be ahead of the infantry!"

Heisenberg's body moves somewhat exaggerated with excitement.

Li Xin had never seen Heisenberg go crazy, since this German who had always been conscientious in his duties was so out of shape, it must have touched his bottom line, and if you think about it, it is a little unreasonable to let an artillery captain buy mining and ironmaking! Especially this is still a nobleman surnamed Hohenzollern, when Albert once introduced Heisenberg's true identity, his face was unabashedly full of self-satisfaction, it seems that this family should be very famous in Europe! However, he didn't know much about the history of Europe, so he hadn't heard of it.

Since Heisenberg did not want to continue mining, but wanted to go back to training artillerymen, Li Xin immediately agreed to his request, and even made a further request for fear of his thighs.

"Ben will have an idea, why don't you set up an artillery academy and let you take the lead, how about it?"

Heisenberg was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that he had heard correctly, he nodded his head repeatedly, and scolded Li Xin, and it was really a reliable idea for the chief soldier to propose the establishment of a school for training artillery. Before the artillery is ignited, it is necessary to measure various numbers, adjust the angle of the gun, and make aiming corrections with reference to the landing point of the previous gun, as well as the cooperation and tacit understanding between the small artillery teams, which require accumulated practice and training.

His ideal was to command an artillery unit with hundreds of cannons to sweep through the Eastern Theater, and this premise was based on the premise that in addition to building enough artillery, excellent artillery personnel were also needed. Seeing that this ancient Eastern Empire was about to fall into the chaos of the Holy Roman Empire, the barbarians in the north continued to invade the south, and the rebels within also tortured the empire......

Li Xin's original intention for talents is to make the best use of talents, since Heisenberg's most suitable position is in the artillery, what about Albert, he is a doctor, let him engage in mines and iron smelting, is it also a duck to the shelves?

As soon as Li Xin put forward his opinion, Albert shook his head and smiled: "The doctor was forced to be a doctor by the family, and it was actually very unpleasant to do that. ”

Albert's expression was rich in the richness of a Westerner, and he pouted at the sloping nunu that was full of big pits, "This is my favorite job!" ”

Li Xinju Khan, it is really a carrot and green vegetables, and it is not appropriate to put a good doctor, but he wants to be a foreman. Thinking back to the actions of this Dr. Albert, it is not difficult to understand, Yang Hewei commanded Qiu Gong to not save him, and he was helpless during the plague, and even a little absent-minded, but he was very concerned about the rails.

Albert suddenly looked stern.

"Your Excellency, iron mines and iron factories can be put into production at any time, the only thing that is lacking is workers, and a large number of workers are needed......"

Li Xin had already thought about the problem of the workers, and after the election of the council of Chaoyangbao, he would mobilize and move Chaoyangbao from the south bank of the Yan River to here, and a town born of industry would be born.
