Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 161 Alchemy Hall

After taking over the Yiyi Mansion, one of the gains was the discovery of a large open-pit coal mine in the territory of the Yiyi Mansion, which aroused Qian Yuan's idea of ​​restarting industrialization.

After the first call, Qianyuan still has 83000 killing points left, which is also the reason why he started industrialization.

After thinking about it again and again, Qianyuan finally set the industrial goal for the next three years, which is to build a coking coal plant, a steel plant, and a thermal power plant in sequence.

Needless to say, the coking coal plant was built in Beastwei County, Yiyi Prefecture, where the coal mine is located.

There was no surprise in the location of the iron and steel factory. The largest open-pit iron mine in the fief was located at the junction of Yize County and Yingshui County, so the factory was naturally built nearby.

Because Yingshui County is far away from the pass, Qianyuan finally decided to build the steel plant on the side of Yingshui County.

The final power plant is going to be built in the planned heavy industrial zone——Nancheng District. Qianyuan wants Qingqiu City to become Yu Yutian's first city to use electric lights.

This is also the most complicated part.

In addition to the power plant itself, it is also necessary to build a series of supporting factories capable of producing relays, resistors, wires, cables, light bulbs, switch sockets, etc.

If built one by one, it would basically be equivalent to a small industrial zone.

That's why Qianyuan chose the power plant in Nancheng District, just to use this as an opportunity to drive the development of the entire Nancheng District.

This involves professional and detailed industrial system planning, and there are many things to do.

Qian Yuan couldn't do it himself, so he chose a leader, none other than Sun Chong, the current director of engineering and chief craftsman.

For this reason, Qianyuan promoted Changsun Chong to one level, and promoted him to be a member of the engineering cao Yuanwailang, who was responsible for managing the industrial department under the engineering cao and the newly established geology and mining department.

It can be said that Changsun Chong is the first person responsible for the industrialization of the fiefdom.

For the cultivation of Changsun Chong, Qian Yuan spared no effort, didn't say anything, directly consumed 1 killing points, and exchanged nearly forty related books.

"For the next six months, don't do anything, just take the people below to study these books thoroughly, and work out a detailed industrial development plan." Qian Yuan confessed in this way.

"Yes!"

Chang Sun Chong was naturally very excited. He is young, full of energy, and has a high degree of acceptance of new things. This is the time when he has the most impact.

Accepting such a challenge was completely expected by Qian Yuan.

"Don't be too confident. I'll put my ugly words up front. After half a year, if you can't come up with something decent, you, a worker, Yuanwailang, will be done. Let me practice."

Chang Sun Chong nodded heavily.

In addition to exchanging books, Qianyuan also spent 2 killing points to purchase a batch of mechanical equipment and instruments that could not be refined by means of refining, so as to start the construction of the coking coal plant and steel plant in the shortest possible time.

This is the basis for building thermal power plants.

As for the power of the coking coal plant and the steel plant itself, they can only be replaced temporarily by steam engines. Although the efficiency is low, they can barely keep up.

…………

In the midst of being busy, time quietly enters August.

After receiving the order from Qianyuan, the First and Second Divisions of the Southwest Corps, with the cooperation of the black guards and the mountain people, launched a drag-net investigation on the Zulong Mountain Range.

In order to prevent the army from being confused by the mountain-protecting formation, Qianyuan even sent a group of monks to help.

Hard work pays off.

Sure enough, the first and second divisions each found a sect.

The situation was even more weird. All the people from the two sects went to the empty building and found nothing except the spirit fields, medicine gardens, spirit beasts and some cheap and bulky refining materials that they couldn't take away.

This further deepened Qianyuan's uneasiness.

The only good news is that during the investigation process, the army accidentally discovered two large Lingshi mines that were incompletely mined, and the storage capacity was astonishing.

After all, it wasn't in vain.

In this way, the spiritual stone crisis in the fiefdom was finally greatly alleviated, and Qianyuan no longer had to listen to the complaints of civil servants like Uncle Zhong and Cao Rui every day.

The days are also clearer.

Another unexpected gain is that the army went into the mountain this time, and searched out all the primitive indigenous tribes still living in the Zulong Mountain Range, bringing Qianyuan's goodwill.

I don't know whether it was really because of Qianyuan's goodwill or because of the deterrence brought by the army. After careful consideration, these indigenous tribes expressed their willingness to establish closer business ties with the Zhennan Palace.

The real family background of the indigenous tribes is finally showing the tip of the iceberg.

That is so rich!

The Ancestral Dragon Mountain Range is where the spiritual energy is most abundant in the Eastern Continent, and it is even called the dragon vein of the Eastern Continent. In such a beautiful place, besides the spiritual stone mine, all kinds of spiritual herbs are indispensable.

The indigenous tribes have lived in the Zulong Mountains for thousands of years, and they get the moon first if they are close to the water. The spiritual grass stored in the tribe can be described as a bundle, and can be sold by the catty.

What was traded before was just a fraction.

When Qianyuan got the news, he went to the Zulong Mountain Range again excitedly, convened a tribal meeting, and signed non-aggression business agreements with the indigenous tribes one by one, so as to reassure himself.

Although the aborigines have not yet been "civilized", it does not mean that they are stupid. Naturally, they also understand the truth that "a man is not guilty, but a woman is guilty". Before, they did not dare to reveal their family background because they were worried about being coveted.

Qian Yuan even suspects that the family property they are showing now is still only a small part of it. Most of the treasures such as spiritual herbs and ores do not know where they are hidden.

Instead of setting off a bloodbath in the Zulong Mountain Range, and then sending people to turn the Zulong Mountain Range upside down, it is better to take advantage of commerce and use worthless daily necessities to take out these "family properties" bit by bit.

Capital has always been bloodier than war.

And to be honest, these indigenous tribes are really not soft persimmons. In the eyes of outsiders, the Zulong Mountain Range is full of death, forbidden land, and Jedi, but in their eyes, it is like their own backyard.

If they really want to kill them, they will drill wherever they want, and they will never find them again.

Why bother?
What can be solved with spirits, soap, and essential oils, so why use knives and guns.

In many cases, trust is often more effective than killing. It is a surprise to gain the trust of these indigenous tribes. Qian Yuan doesn't want to destroy it at will.

After obtaining a large amount of spiritual herbs, Qian Yuan's thoughts came alive.

If the vassal prince's mansion can refine the elixir by itself, it will solve a large part of military expenditure and further reduce the financial burden of military expenditure on finances.

Just do it.

Qian Yuan first wrote a letter to his uncle Changsun Yun, asking him to mediate in Shendu and recruit a group of alchemists for the fiefdom.As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, my uncle barely has anything to do with alchemy, so things will be much easier if he handles it on his behalf.

Perhaps it was because of the fact that Changsun Chong was reused, my uncle was very careful this time, using his network in Shendu to recruit twelve alchemists for Qianyuan at once.

This helped Qianyuan a lot.

Before the alchemist arrived at Qingqiu City, Qian Yuan began to prepare for the establishment of another institution directly under the palace—the Alchemy Hall, which was dedicated to refining various elixirs for the fief.

In addition to those for warriors, there are also those for monks.

With the temptation of the pill, more monks will be willing to join the army in the future.

Cultivators are not as passionate as warriors. They have always been the most realistic group. Talking about national righteousness with them is basically nonsense, and only interests can move their hearts.

In addition to refining the natal magic weapon, which is the elixir for improving cultivation, it is the most tempting for monks.

In September, following the Bing Jia Division, the alchemy hall was finally established, marking another big step forward for the fief on the road of self-sufficiency.

If you want to get Qianyuan's neck outside, it will not be so easy.

In September, another major event occurred in the fiefdom, that is, the autumn official selection examination, referred to as the autumn examination.

If it is said that the first official selection examination was just a test of the water, then, as those admitted students went to work one by one, the fiefdom's enthusiasm for applying for the examination was completely aroused.

Some of the previous doubts were completely dispelled.

The most active ones are those poor students who start preparing for the exam early.

Not only the Yiyi Mansion, but even the Qingqiu Mansion, which had already participated once, under the strong request of the students, those who missed the spring exam were also included in the autumn exam.

The scale is three times that of the spring exam.

It can be said that the holding of the autumn examination officially opened the prelude to the formalization of the selection of talents in the fiefdom.

As a side effect, the number of school-age children has increased sharply. According to Li Cao's statistics, the number of school-age children enrolled in September this year exceeded 3000, four times that of last year.

Some are in their teens and have not yet been sent to school.

And when the fief was busy with the autumn exams, a hurricane blew up again in Shendu, which had already been aroused by the "Prince Establishment" turmoil, and the source of it was the silent Emperor Qian.

Suddenly, the situation in the court was turbulent.
