"Tick Woo".

A strange ship was sailing from south to north on a tributary that flowed from Starpool, and the shrill whistle from the ship could be heard even from a distance.

The ship was strange because it had neither oars nor circles, but two chimneys emitting black smoke and a huge paddlewheel behind it. The ship was much larger than the other boats on the river, and its hull was made of wood, but the superstructure was all iron.

This strange ship is one of Li Zisheng and Hu Yunhong's latest research results, the steamship. In addition to carrying a batch of grain, there are also Li Sangongzi and his friends, and naturally Yan Bao'er and Tie Qianzhun are also indispensable.

Half a year has passed, and it is now August and autumn. It stands to reason that a southern country like Jingzhou should still be lush, but the more you go down the river, the more "bleak" the scenery becomes, and the river water becomes more turbid.

Such a withered scenery is naturally because of pollution.

Xingsha is nothing more than the Heavenly Weapon Gate Dojo, and its business is spread across the few streams that flow out of Xingtan.

That's because it is not only rich in water and convenient transportation, but also has large reserves of high-quality coal and iron ore underground, and the conditions for establishing a coal and iron industrial zone in this area are really unique.

It's no wonder that the Heavenly Artifact Gate was set up here. Of course, for an orthodox immortal sect like the Four Gods Sect, this coal and iron are not worth anything at all, and the Yuanshi vein is their foundation.

Li Zisheng and his party went to an important industrial town under the jurisdiction of Tianqimen, Yuan'an City.

The scenery of this Yuan'an Castle is exactly the same as that of Tieshan South Castle, with chimneys and iron shops all over the ground, and the sky is always gray, even in the crisp autumn of August, and the air is filled with a choking stench. Not to mention the trees on the ground, even the weeds are sparse and listless.

It's just that this place is more than ten times larger than the South City of Iron Mountain. Around it is a large shack.

Li Zisheng originally had a short position. That was the vice deacon of Xinjintang, a position that was originally insignificant and just a fictitious title. But he actually used chicken feathers as an arrow, and used this empty position to start his own business in the past six months.

As mentioned in the previous document, Xin Jintang is mainly responsible for opening products, but this hall is insignificant now, otherwise it would not be the turn of the junior of the Tie family to be a deacon.

The reason why the opening of the Heavenly Instrument Gate declined was not that the first gate of the Central Continent Refining Instrument had lost its forward momentum. "Technological innovation" is neglected. On the contrary, everyone in the door knows that it is too important to open new products and technologies, and they are unwilling to be controlled by one of them, so everyone has collected the talents and resources into their own inner hall. Now only an empty shell remains.

A short position plus a short department is nothing more than an honorary position for others, but for Li Zisheng, it is the best opportunity.

Because he can build a real opening in the name of the opening.

Of course, things are not so simple. The real product development talents are pinched in the hands of the three surnames, there is no talent for talents, there is no yuan stone for yuanshi, and there is no venue for even the venue. The Sinjin Hall is just a place for meetings and offices.

However, as a soldier of the Liberator Legion, Li Zisheng certainly knows the proverb, self-reliance, and abundant food and clothing.

And it's better to have a name than nothing. More or less, you can get some resources from the sect and the Tie family, and the most important thing is that you have a reason to transfer the disciples in the sect.

This is very important, Tianqimen is not Tieshan City, and it is not a place where Li Sangongzi can do whatever he wants, and it is still quite necessary to approve a tiger skin.

Of course, there are disadvantages to doing this, as long as someone takes a fancy to his stall, he can take advantage of the name of this outer hall industry to deprive him of cleanliness.

But one comes. He has a good relationship with the Tie family, and he can't see the possibility of turning his face during this time; second, now that Li Zisheng's reputation is in full swing, he really has to weigh it if he really wants to go against him; third, the ordinary cultivators he is engaged in research are absolutely not interested.

Reorganizing Xin Jintang and opening up new technologies are just part of Li Zisheng's work in the past six months, and he also started a student loan business in Xin Yishun Tang. Preside over the daily work of the Young Pioneers and the Iron Youth League, and at the same time cultivate. It can be said that every day is busy in the dark.

But he has been here many times.

Li Zisheng not only built the opening part presided over by the Hu family brothers, but this steamship is one of their works. With the maturity of steam engine technology, such things can be said to be a small test. Li Zisheng did not make a big deal but made it special, after all, the steam engine is only a transition of pre-technology.

In Yuan'an, it is relatively cheap to manufacture iron and coal for steam engines. Although Li Sangongzi used the gambling board to win a lot of yuan stones, he saved a little if he could save a little, after all, he played a big game of chess. At the same time, steam-powered pumping machines are also quite popular here. It can be used to drain the pit.

Of course, with the steam engine, Li Sangongzi originally wanted to build a railway. But the investment in the railway is too big, and no one here has much interest in this means of transportation, so he can't find an investor at all. There are many rivers here in Jingbei and Jingnan, and there is no need for a railway for a while.

So he could only settle for the next best thing and built a steam ship as an experimental product, because the test product was a little more expensive, but compared to the Fu array ship driven by Yuanshi, this ship used coal, the cargo capacity was greatly increased, and the fuel cost was not too high, which had attracted the attention of some well-intentioned people.

He also established a brigade headquarters for the Young Pioneers here, and the righteousness of the school, the servants' union, the garden party, and the football game were also in the topic. In such an industrial area, there are naturally many school-age children. Moreover, Li Zisheng stipulated that if he wanted a student loan, he must first join the Young Pioneers or the Iron Youth League, so that he also has abundant human resources in his hands, not only the old players such as Tie Baihu and Tie Baiaxe.

Most crucially, he began his attempts at the workers' movement in Yuan'an.

When Li Sangongzi was in Tieshan City, he had the intention to carry out this workers' movement, but the time, place and people were not on his side, so he really did not have this opportunity. His age and status are there, and many things are inconvenient for him to do by himself.

But when he arrived at the Heavenly Instrument Gate, he finally saw an opportunity to come into contact with the real proletarian vanguards.

"Your Excellency the General Secretary, Yuan'an City has arrived. ”
