Anxi Panyang Iron Mine, wrought iron factory.

After planning two textile workshop areas in Quanzhou City, Su Yan remembered the wrought iron factory established next to the Panyang Iron Mine, so he took three or three of his entourage to inspect the wrought iron factory.

Panyang Iron Mine, even in the 21st century, is still one of the top three iron ore areas in Fujian Province, and the wrought iron factory built here naturally does not need to worry about iron ore resources.

When Su Yan came to the outskirts of the wrought iron factory, he was a little surprised to find that a small village had formed here at some point, and on both sides of the road connecting the factory to the mining area, many people carried wood around a land temple to build the simplest thatched houses, and a group of children screamed and ran and frolicked on the dirt road.

Although Su Yan and the others were not wearing armor, the silk silk on their bodies that was obviously only worn by wealthy families still proved that their identity was extraordinary, and after seeing Su Yan and the few people on horseback approaching, the children who were playing were all called back by their parents, and looked at Su Yan and the others a little nervously.

At this moment, a child who was not yet tall enough to reach the belly of a horse ran to Su Yan, tripped over a stone on the soles of his feet, fell to the ground, twisted his mouth, and cried loudly, his mother saw this and hurriedly threw the tools in her hand on the ground, ran quickly to pull the child behind her, and then kept bowing down and apologizing: "Childe, my child is ignorant and offended you, please forgive me." ”

"It doesn't matter." Su Yan waved his hand, trying to make himself look mild, and asked the peasant woman, "Do you have a master here?" ”

"The villain is exactly." Before the peasant woman could speak, an elderly man in the crowd walked out, he bowed to Su Yan, straightened up, and asked, "Childe, what are you looking for a villain?" ”

"It's fine, but I'm passing through here, and you're building a lot of work here, and it seems like you're going to settle here?"

"Exactly." Seeing Su Yan's gentle attitude, the old man relaxed a little, arched his hand again, and said in an official dialect with a Mindong dialect: "We migrated from Fuzhou Mansion and Xinghua Mansion, and we used to be tenant farmers of the landlord. ”

The seizure of homes he said refers to the fact that some landlords in Fuzhou and Xinghua Prefecture resisted the policy of apportioning the land into the mu and resisted, and the soldiers under Su Yan directly raided the house and exterminated the clan, killing chickens and monkeys.

At this moment, the system in Su Yan's ears sounded again:

[Wherever the host designates as a "town", it will spontaneously attract new immigrants to settle here, and most of the immigrants who settle here will work in occupations related to the construction of the building. 】

After listening to the system's explanation, Su Yan understood in his heart, he nodded, and said, "In this way, the old man will go back and get busy, just wander around." ”

"Childe is at his own convenience." The old man bowed his hand again, turned around and returned to the crowd, muttering to the people around him in the Min Dongfang dialect that he didn't know what to say, and the people dispersed and went back to continue to be busy.

Su Yan rode a horse to look around here, and saw that they were all temporarily living in a small shed that had been set up temporarily, which was almost windy on all sides, and it was easy to catch a cold in this cold winter, so he ordered Chen Ying to go to the Panyang Iron Mine and ordered someone to send some firewood and charcoal to help these new immigrants survive the winter.

Walking along the rutted dirt road, Su Yan finally came to the wrought iron factory, the perimeter of the wrought iron factory was protected by a wooden wall, and there were several guards with spears standing at the gate.

All the soldiers who are included in the system know Su Yan, so there will be no oolong incidents that do not know him and treat him as a spy.

The wrought iron factory is composed of several factories, among which a long chimney stands at the top of a factory, and at this time, there is a cloud of black mist that drains up the mouth of the chimney, rises into the air and gradually dissipates, and finally disappears.

The trees around the factory were cut down, revealing bare stumps, and it is not difficult to imagine that the trees that were cut down disappeared into the world along with the black smoke from the chimneys.

Although the wrought iron factory was built for less than a month, it also contracted the production of iron tools in Anxi and the surrounding counties, whether it was ploughshares, horseshoes, sickles, knives and nails, they could be produced from here and transported to the surrounding counties by convoys.

Because this is a "state-owned" enterprise, all the profits earned are handed over to Su Yan's treasury.

After inspecting the wrought iron factory, Su Yan had an idea, although there are several iron mines in the Zhangzhou Mansion occupied by Zhu Chenggong, they cannot be completed in one stop from iron ore to iron on a large scale like Su Yan.

So he wanted to start trade directly with Zhu Chenggong, buy iron ore from the latter, and then sell the molten iron to Zhu Chenggong, as for whether he bought it to build weapons or armor, it was none of Su Yan's business.

……

Leaving the wrought iron factory, Su Yan took the road again to go to the Panyang Iron Mine to have a look.

As he walked through the place, he noticed that every household had a happy smile on their faces.

One of them saw Su Yan and the others coming over, and shouted, and then a group of people threw down the things in their hands and surrounded them.

Seeing this, the guards around Su Yan subconsciously drew their swords on guard, and opened their mouths to scold those people to stop.

But before the guards could open their mouths, the group of people knelt down one after another, led by the old man, and shouted:

"Thank you, Lord Qingtian, for rewarding me with firewood and charcoal!"

"The old man lives longer than Nanshan, a good person lives a hundred years!"

"Uh......"

Su Yan looked at their kneeling and pulled the corners of his mouth speechlessly, he didn't expect their reaction to be so big.

These people also didn't expect that the young man who looked kind just now would actually be the newly appointed governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Of course, this was told to them by the people who brought them firewood and charcoal, and they still remember those people saying in a surprised tone: "I really don't know how you got into the eyes of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and his old man personally sent his chief of guard to let us bring you firewood." ”

"Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang? What is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang? The old man asked suspiciously.

"You don't know?" The man stared at the old man suspiciously, and said, "Did you meet someone just now, think about it, anyway, we will send the things, and the task will be completed." ”

With that, the men drove the ox cart back to the mine.

After those people left, the old man thought about it, and then targeted the only stranger who had been here today, and recalled his extraordinary temperament between his gestures, and suddenly woke up.

So, there is this scene now.
