The process of the commendation conference will not be repeated here, and the result was completely in line with Wenyi's expectations, and everyone's fighting spirit was aroused and full of enthusiasm.

Especially when they learned that there were only more than 100 unmarried women left, they worked even harder.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Wen Yi decisively ordered a large construction project.

Except for Zhao Zhengzhi's reconnaissance company, everyone, regardless of men, women, and children, threw themselves into the construction. Including the soldiers under Xie Daoyun - training is better to wait until the house is built.

According to each person's ability, different divisions of labor have also been carried out, including laying foundations, building kilns and burning bricks, and processing room beams and slab bricks......

Wen Yi wanted to build not a wooden house, but a brick and concrete house.

This type of home is more work-intensive, but once built, it will be more comfortable to live in and will last longer.

At this time, Mo Jun brought his eldest son Mo Hong and his prospective son-in-law Zhao Fang over and claimed to help.

Wen Yi knew his plan after a little thought, and he was naturally happy to see this situation, so he asked them to follow Xue Dayuan to help.

Seeing that Wen Yi really accepted them, Mo Jun was also very happy, and admired Zhao Gongwang even more.

The construction of the house was entrusted to Xue Dayuan, and Wen Yi led some craftsmen to start building various workshops.

The first is mining.

In fact, the mineral resources in the Langhu area are not abundant, and there are less than ten kinds of mining value in total, and most of the reserves are not high.

However, these few mineral resources are what they need most.

Wen Yi remembers the five mineral resources the most, iron ore, copper ore, limestone, kaolin and coal.

Needless to say, the importance of iron ore is right?

The content of Dabaoshan iron ore is about 20 million tons. In the previous life, the country produced more than one billion tons of steel a year, and a fraction of it was more than its total content.

However, it was the 21st century, and the ancient reserves were already huge.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the annual steel output was only a few hundred tons, and it reached 1,000 tons at its peak, and the annual steel output of the Song Dynasty reached 4,000 tons at its peak.

Now it is the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the annual output of steel should not exceed five hundred tons, or even less.

This iron ore with an iron content of 20 million tons is enough for him to use.

Not to mention the copper mines, which are money.

Lime sounds ordinary, but it's a thing that has a lot to do with people's livelihoods. It is needed to build houses, to make paper, to spin linen and even to build ships.

Kaolin may be unfamiliar to many people, but it must be familiar with another name: porcelain clay.

Kaolin is a type of porcelain clay, the main raw material for firing porcelain.

Needless to say, the role of coal is the best fuel.

For 'entrepreneurs', Langhu is too perfect. In addition to the geographical advantages, the mineral resources here are also tailor-made for 'entrepreneurship'.

Wenyi first established a lime mine.

The construction of various workshops is about to be carried out, and the demand for lime is the most urgent.

However, he did not have to be specifically responsible for this matter, and the mine was established, and the production work was entrusted to a stonemason named Yu Dachun.

Then there is the iron mine, and although they have also grabbed a lot of metal tools along the way, there is also a huge gap.

Even a metal tool was done in each person's hand.

If you want to develop rapidly, you must solve the iron problem as soon as possible.

The iron mine was also built and handed over to a man named Mu Su to manage.

Copper, kaolin, and coal have not been moved, although these things are important, but the demand is not urgent, and the first phase of the construction project is completed.

Then there is the paper-making workshop and ink-making workshop, and his paper-making and ink-making skills are all seen from "Heavenly Creation".

As far as the Eastern Jin Dynasty is concerned, it is definitely a production technology that transcends the times and does not know how many generations.

A week later, the first pieces of ink were made, and three days later the first pieces of snow-white and tough paper were made.

Ink not to mention, it was after the paper was made that shocked everyone.

Ordinary people are just ordinary people, Xie Daoyun, Xue Dayuan, Mo Jun and other scholars know the value of this thing very well.

Xue Dayuan held a piece of white paper and stroked it gently, looking like his wife was jealous when she saw it. Oh, he doesn't have a wife, that's fine.

"With such paper, the reader can say goodbye to heavy bamboo slips and expensive silk silk...... Brother Xiao Yi has made great contributions. ”

Xie Daoyun has seen paper and uses it often, so she is more aware of the advantages of this kind of paper:

"Our paper is whiter, smoother and tougher than the paper sold outside, and if we take it out and sell it, it will definitely be popular all over the world."

Mo Jun was also pleasantly surprised: "With such good paper, we don't have to worry about money anymore...... It must be protected from leakage. ”

Originally, he thought that Wen Yi's power was weak and it would be difficult to realize his ideals and ambitions, so he was ready to overcome obstacles.

Who knows that people have wings and can fly.

What is a surprise? It's called a surprise.

Xie Daoyun is not as optimistic as him: "It's too remote here, it's too far away from the imperial court, and you can't sell it even if you have paper, and you have to worry about someone taking it by force." ”

"Our strength is not afraid of anyone in Jin'an, but it is still too far from the real Haoqiang."

When she said this, everyone's excitement calmed down a little.

This is not alarmist, never reason with the nobles, if the blank paper can create huge profits, they are likely to rob it.

Wen Yi had already had a comprehensive plan, saying: "It's okay not to let people know where these papers are produced." ”

"There are many rivers in the south, and we must develop the shipbuilding industry. When our people master the art of boating, they can set up a boat from Langhu Lake to Jinjiang, and then go straight to the sea. ”

"Going north along the coastline to trade with people from the north, then we said that the paper was purchased from overseas."

"By the time those people know that we made the paper, our strength should not be afraid of any foreign enemies."

Everyone agreed with his approach.

After the discovery of iron ore, lime ore and other mineral deposits, they can basically produce their own self-sufficient, and their dependence on the outside world is much smaller, and they do not need foreign trade for the time being.

After another ten days, the ironworks began to provide a steady supply of steel. With plenty of iron, their speed of development has risen several steps again.

The most important thing is the military industry, the original simple weapons have finally been replaced with better steel products.

On the other side, the bricks and tiles were successfully fired, and with the raw materials, the construction of houses became easier, and with the efforts of everyone, new houses were built.

The place of residence changes almost every day.

Seeing that all the work is being carried out in an orderly manner, everyone is familiar with their own work, and there is no need for people to keep an eye on them all the time.

Wen Yi found Xue Dayuan and gave him a task.

"It's time to return the cattle borrowed from the Yamen, and in addition to returning the cattle, there is also a task, to buy poultry and livestock. Take all our money with us, and buy as much as we want. ”

"I will ask Zhao Zhengzhi to escort you over with the reconnaissance company, and the two of you can discuss anything together."
