This time back to Lingshan Island, on the one hand, more than 20 million taels of silver, need to be put into storage. Lingshan Island is currently the safest place for Li Miao. In the silver vault of Lingshan Island, there are already more than 30 million taels of silver. It's about to break through half a billion.

Li Miao's financial resources are amazing, and it is not enough to describe it as rich and rivaling the country. And his wealth is still increasing, every year at a rate of tens of millions of taels of silver.

But Li Miao always believes that the money spent is his own. Leaving in the treasury is a number, cumbersome.

But now there are really not many places for Li Miao to spend money. The point is that he makes money too fast. So Li Miao plans to issue a ticket number. Take advantage of the credibility of the Downwind Transport Dart Bureau to open a Tailwind ticket number.

No amount of money is too much for the ticket number. Li Miao wants to open the only ticket number of the Great Zheng Dynasty and strive to cover the entire Great Zheng Dynasty. Then you will earn more of your own money.

At the same time, it can also accelerate the economic development of the entire Great Zheng Dynasty. Improving people's livelihood. Maybe you can increase your luck? Li Miao felt that it was still feasible.

In mid-September, almost two months of sailing. The mixed fleet finally came to Lingshan Island. The mixed fleet will have a 10-day rest on Lingshan Island and finally arrive at the port of Hekou in Juzhuang, Liaodong.

Li Miao and more than 1,000 other guards and sailors were also in urgent need of rest. The nerves that had been tense for more than three months could finally be relaxed. The guards of Lingshan Island took over the task of supervising the mixed fleet.

The sailors and prisoners of war of Annam also urgently needed to go to the island to rest. There are also more than 3,000 Guangxi girls, who are also very tired. Overall, the mixed fleet was well-disciplined and orderly.

Lingshan Island had already received Li Miao's order. As a result, Chengzikou Port received more than 30,000 mixed troops. Busy but not chaotic, everything is in order. Even the prisoners of war disembarked and moved into makeshift tents.

Li Miao stayed in the State Guest House, and started their first newlywed honeymoon with Jia Tanchun, the lord of Heqin County.

At this time, Li Miao had already digested Jia Tanchun's spices and fruits on the way. Sure enough, it increased Li Miao's command ability. It's really just in time for the rain.

The battle of the Liaodong Bureau that will start soon, Li Miao is a little more sure. Double cultivation with Jia Tanchun to speed up the ripening of her breath, spices and fruits. Everything was expected.

During the recuperation period on Lingshan Island, Li Miao did not need to rest. So, the investigation of Lingshan Island began. This time, Li Shi and Jia Lan did not accompany them. These two are so tired. After coming to the Lingshan Island State Guest House, I couldn't sleep.

However, this time, Li Shi and Jia Lan have made great progress. More than 1,000 people managed more than 30,000 people, and most of them were still Annam troops. The difficulty can be imagined. Li Shi and Jia Lan have always been involved in it, and it is strange that they do not progress.

Li Miao, accompanied by Li Jinhai, assistant manager of Lingshan Island, inspected Lingshan Island. Li Miao's personal maid Ding Qiusheng's brother Ding Chunsheng must be unavailable. There are more than 30,000 people who need to be supervised, and Ding Chunsheng has a great responsibility.

In fact, Li Miao didn't need to go around at all. Just find a stop on the island and go through the Divine Consciousness Island to find out the situation. Li Miao's divine sense covers the entire island without a problem.

Li Miao's inspection of the island also shows to a certain extent the importance he attaches to Lingshan Island. It is also an encouragement to people who work seriously and responsibly, and a spur to those who are messing around.

Lingshan Island served as Li Miao's private fiefdom. The status is not light. At that time, when Lingshan Island was developed, it was used as Li Miao's last refuge. That meaning has now been lost. But it's still significant.

First of all, Li Miao, accompanied by Li Jinhai, inspected the salt works. Li Jinhai is Li Miao's kindred, and as an assistant manager, he assists Ding Chunsheng in managing the entire Lingshan Island. It also plays a supervisory role. He has average ability, but he is a good hand at managing the Grange.

Therefore, when inspecting the salt works, Li Jinhai will introduce them one by one in the villages he passes by. After Lingshan Island accepted refugees from the north, the number of permanent residents was close to 30,000 at its peak. Now there are only more than 20,000 people, and many young people have boarded the sea.

Most of the young people left in the village are in the salt works. Now the salt works are at full capacity. The refined salt produced every year is not only for Li Miao's own power. There is also a surplus, all of which is stored in the salt works as a strategic reserve.

Due to the advanced technology of drying salt. The refined salt produced on Lingshan Island, both in terms of quality and output, is far greater than that of other places in the Zheng Dynasty.

Li Miao calculated that if the refined salt of Lingshan Island is put into the market, the price of refined salt in the market will fall sharply. Of course, it is impossible for Li Miao to put refined salt into the market. It's all digested by Li Miao's own forces.

In the past, it was refined salt that could only be enjoyed by wealthy families. entered the ordinary family of Li Miao's forces. And the price is not much higher than coarse salt. With the expansion of Li Miao's power, it was not long before the supply of refined salt from Lingshan Island would be exhausted.

However, there is the existence of the Liaodong Bureau, especially after taking the entire Dalian area. Salt is slowly no longer the main strategic material that Li Miao considers.

The current salt works of Lingshan Island. Every year, it brings Li Miao an income of more than two million taels of silver. No wonder Wang Yonggui always said that it was too easy for Li Miao to make money.

This is still Li Miao's cheap sale of refined salt to his own forces. However, if it is sold at the market price, it is estimated that the vast majority of people will not buy it. Even those who can afford it are reluctant to buy it.

Soon, Li Miao circled around the island. I am still quite satisfied with the salt farms, farms, breeding farms, etc. These are also projects that co-manager Li Jinhai is focusing on. It seems that Li Jinhai has grown a lot in recent years.

Li Miao and his entourage came to the Chengzikou Port Shipyard. The factory was full of laughter. Almost half of the good Nanmu was left to the shipyard. The craftsmen and stewards are all experts.

With such good wood, the quality of the boat built is even better. This is also why Li Miao worked so hard. They just can't fit it, and they have to be dragged back.

There are these fine nanmu to make the keel of the sea ship, and the ship is made. Twice as robust. It also does not affect the speed of the vessel. In the future, Li Miao's big sea ship will enjoy this treatment.

At the current Chengzikou Port Shipyard, two large sea ships are launched every year. Small sea boats have long ceased to be built. It is also limited by the port. The port of Chengzikou itself is so big, and it would be congested to build a large sea ship.

Li Miao is still very satisfied with the Chengzikou Port Shipyard. The technology here is first-class, and the craftsmen and workers are highly motivated. We can complete the production task with quality and quantity every year. It has made the first contribution to Li Miao's shipping career.

Finally, Li Miao inspected the Lingshan Island Ordnance Research Institute. The original Lingshan Island Arsenal was established shortly after the establishment of the Liaodong Bureau. Changed its name to the Ordnance Research Institute. Now the production tasks of the Ordnance Research Institute are becoming less and less.

But its role has not diminished. A large number of top craftsmen work here. A lot of weapons are also produced for better research. In particular, the craftsmen who studied gunpowder did not dare to raise their heads with their heads bowed.

In the end, Li Miao looked at their research results. It is also fully affirmed. "Technological innovation is not an overnight thing, but every little progress is a great achievement."

"Trial and error is also an achievement, and it is also to accumulate experience for future research." Li Miao encouraged the craftsmen to try boldly and not to have ideological baggage. As for the gunpowder breakthrough, how can it be so easy?

Li Miao has high hopes for the Ordnance Research Institute. It is the guarantee that Li Miao is in a leading position in technology in this world. Li Miao's shipbuilding and smelting industry are now in a leading position in the industry. It is inseparable from their contributions.

Regarding the study of gunpowder, Li Miao is also in an ambivalent mood. It's a big killer. The cause and effect are very great, and it can even affect his luck. It will also affect Li Miao's safety.

Li Miao had to study it again. What if other countries come up with it first? At that time, if you don't research this big killer, you can only be beaten passively.

At that time, if Li Miao researched it first, he would not use it. Li Miao would only hide in the snow. I would rather this world never have high-intensity gunpowder. The lethality of cold weapons, after all, is limited.

Once the high-intensity gunpowder is put into use, it is not known how many more people will die. It could even end up ruining the entire planet. Therefore, Li Miao's research on gunpowder is in a state of top secret.
