The original plan to build an ironclad ship was extremely costly.

It can be said that this is to smash almost half of the original income of the robbery.

Thousands of taels of silver, hundreds of thousands of craftsmen and laborers of all kinds, and countless technicians of all kinds who stood out, spent years and every day around building ships.

It can be said that this ironclad ship should not have appeared in this era at all.

Because if we rely on the historical process, the manufacture of ironclad ships at this time is purely to promote the growth of seedlings, just to make ironclad ships, which is equivalent to building a new Grand Canal or building a new Great Wall.

This is not only as simple as allocating money, but also involves countless manpower and material resources.

Such a direct and strong push to invest money that could otherwise be used to improve people's livelihood is inherently unsustainable.

But...... Now, the harvest time has truly arrived.

In order to create ironclad ships, the mining technology of various ores has been greatly improved.

The smelting of steel and other metals is also a rapid progress.

Tens of thousands of people have a preliminary understanding of the manufacture of machinery, and there is even a group of people who stand out and become the leaders of this era.

In the process of leading the manufacturing, a group of people who are good at management and organization are slowly beginning to emerge, and they have begun to gradually organize the coordination and organization of large-scale engineering and equipment manufacturing.

Naturally, there is also the manufacturing capacity of boilers, steam engines, bearings, machine tools and other equipment, and they have begun to have enough experience.

Many of the technical difficulties that were used to overcome the manufacturing of ironclad ships have now become a reality.

A large number of craftsmen have also been trained, and the high standards adopted by ironclad ships must make many components seamless, so many skilled craftsmen have begun to gradually master higher skills.

And now......

Liaodong has important people and skills, and it has never lacked the ability to organize and coordinate various projects.

Zhang Jingyi's various investment funds also began to pour in.

All of a sudden, the demand became extremely strong.

There are people everywhere who are looking for opportunities, and everyone who sees an opportunity can make a lot of money without being stupid.

Everyone is racking their brains to come up with all sorts of new ideas, or ...... Come up with a new deal.

As a result, a variety of workshops have sprung up.

The craftsman became the target of everyone's robbery.

A lot of labor also followed.

Production brought about the demand for mining, and mining and production gave rise to a large number of hired workers, who could no longer return to the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy of male farming and female weaving, so there was a demand for consumption, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, as well as food, clothing, housing and transportation, so ...... Countless pavings have been spawned, giving rise to more vigorous demand.

Population growth...... It seems to have started too.

The head effect is very obvious, when Liaodong is still a barren land, you are tied up people, and people have to cry and cry reluctantly, but when the city begins to take shape, many people in the customs begin to flock to it.

The imperial court granted Zhang Jingyi's edict.

Bandits and bandits have always been a big problem for all officials, and at this time, if someone is willing to take them away, it is naturally better.

For the princes of the imperial court, it is better to throw people to Liaodong, or to throw them farther away in Liaodong, which is tantamount to the exile and assassination of these people.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are still quite appealing to the many remnants of the rogue in the Guan, as well as the bandits in various places.

Moreover, the two of them are the top characters who stand out in the sea of corpses and blood, and they can be the leaders of hundreds of thousands of rogues, so they naturally have their terrible appeal and charm.

And the so-called appeal, to put it in layman's terms, is to be able to fool.

After all...... Liukou is not an official government, you have to let people work with you, and you haven't paid it to anyone yet.

At this time, it is very important to paint a picture of the future prospects, make your blood boil, scream and express that you are willing to mess with you, entrust your life to you, and would rather go all the way to the black.

In this regard, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are both self-taught geniuses, and they were born to do this.

The enthusiastic letters of surrender really spoke to the hearts of people.

Many of the mountain kings, some of whom didn't have much ambition originally, just wanted to guard the mountain, take some little minions, and live a gangster life by robbing houses and houses.

But after reading the letter, my blood suddenly surged, and I was suddenly excited.

There is a future, and they are all thieves, so why not be a thief with a certificate.

The worries were also pressed, this is Brother Li and Brother Zhang, they are famous and surnamed characters, it is rare that people can still look down on me, and they want to participate in the grand event with me. Can they still harm me?

The government's surrender should be true, even if it is a big thief like Brother Li and Brother Zhang, aren't they still alive?

As a result, there are countless people who want to get out of these three mountains and five mountains.

Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng made a settlement plan early.

They are the ones who know these people best and treat each other with courtesy, but these people are used to being casual and need to be governed by rules.

To put it bluntly, such people, you want them to be honest and honest, and they are willing to work hard with you, on the one hand, they have to be fed, on the other hand, they must be respected, you can't see him as a thief, you need to treat him as a man.

Respect is respectful, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's knives are also unkind, they are a family, but the family also has family rules, who dares to disobey or make a mistake, it will be ruthless.

At least the chaos that Zhang Jingyi feared at the beginning did not happen.

Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng organized all the people.

The old and weak women and children stay to farm, and the young strong men are more clever, whether they want to be craftsmen in a stable way, or go to the military academy, they can all succeed.

The rest of the people were all reorganized, and the horses and weapons were distributed, and the ...... was not long He braved the snow and set off.

Huang Taiji's side, obviously not to be outdone, he knew that next time, what he would encounter was hard stubble, this Tsarist Russia may not be comparable to those ordinary khanates, on the other hand, it was the competition between Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, which also stimulated them.

At this time, Huang Taiji already knew that in the extreme north, there was a Ural Mountain, where there were many passes, and after turning over the Ural Mountain, it was a large plain and a fertile land.

Therefore, what he preached to the minions of Jiannu was that if they crossed the mountain, the profit would be tenfold. Zhang, Li Yan has set off, we are imminent, the Han Gaozu Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had an oath, the first to enter the customs is the king, now we and Zhang, Li, although there is no oath, but who enters the customs first, you can get the gold mountain, the gold mountain is in front of you, how can you lag behind.

So the elite of the Eight Banners was exhausted, and they were all high-spirited, and their morale was like a rainbow.

Zhang Jingyi secretly summoned many people to arrive in Lushun at this time.

Whether it is Liu Wenxiu, Li Dingguo, or other leaders in the Donglin Military Academy, there are even many scribes who have been trained since Xinxian County.

Now these people have taken charge of themselves, and they are gathered in the Liao Wangfu at this time.

Among them, it is not surprising that almost all of them are from the Jinyi Guard, the Donglin Army and the clerical system, and there are dozens of people.

Almost all of them were cultivated by Zhang Jing hand-in-hand, and the biggest thing they have in common is that they are young.

Of course, the displaced people in the original Guanzhong accounted for the vast majority.

This is also a matter of no way, thinking that at the beginning, Zhang Jingyi was just an ordinary Jinyi Wei Qianhu, the county order of the new county, and the people who could be recruited and cultivated could never be very high, even if he was an ordinary talent at that time, he was afraid that he would spurn Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jing sat down steadily, not seeing too much emotion on his face, but his eyes swept over everyone's faces quickly.

Everyone looked at Zhang Jingyi energetically, looking quite excited.

When Zhang Jing ordered someone to serve tea, everyone picked up the tea cup one after another.

Zhang Jingyi said with a smile: "This is tea from Jiangnan, which is made with spring water from a mountain spring outside the city, let's try it." ”

Li Dingguo and the others all laughed and were eager to try, everyone didn't dare to gobble it up, knowing that this tea was very precious, so they all carefully sipped it gently, for fear of drinking it too quickly.

Zhang Jingyi also took a sip, and then said, "How is it, how does it taste?" ”

Someone said: "I don't understand, but ...... Looks expensive. ”

Li Dingguo said: "This tea is good, this tea is good, and the aftertaste is endless." ”

Zhang Jing smiled and raised the teacup again.

But this time, he raised the teacup not to drink tea, but to ......

Clang, the sound is a bit harsh.

I saw the teacup fall to the ground, and the teacup was shattered.

Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, if there are outsiders, when they hear the sound of the cup being smashed, they are afraid that they will be scared to death, you know...... Traditionally, the cup is an order, a prelude to an ambush for the axeman.

It's just that they are all Zhang Jingyi's disciples or former officials, but they didn't expect this layer, but the first reaction was that the teacher's hand slipped and dropped the cup, and Li Dingguo, who was the closest, even tried to step forward to help Zhang Jingyi clean up the mess on the ground.

Zhang Jingyi said suddenly: "You don't have to clean it up, it's intentional for the teacher." ”

Li Dingguo was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhang Jingyi inexplicably.

Zhang Jingyi sighed and said: "This tea, when it was purchased in Suzhou, was one hundred and forty-three taels of silver a catty, and such tea still needs to be properly stored and then sent to Liaodong, and the manpower and material resources spent are really amazing." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be amazed, and they all said in their hearts, wouldn't it be a tael of silver to be gone?

At this time, Zhang Jingyi said again: "This tea ...... It's expensive, but it's in Lushun...... There are already many families...... Without such tea, you are reluctant to drink tea. Now other teas, in their mouths, I am afraid that there is no difference from swill. ”
