Iron Dynasty

The assembly line production of the steel workshop was officially implemented, and the production mode of other workshops naturally needed to be changed.

To this end, Xiao Ming specially wrote a production organization plan. The knowledge in his brain can not only be transmitted, but of course can also be presented on paper, so that others can learn through words instead of simply relying on his personal professor.

During this time, Xiao Ming used the rich knowledge in the technology library and his own understanding to write down a lot of technical books. These books are strictly kept for reference and study.

In addition to the steel workshop, Xiao Ming also went to other workshops this time to correct mistakes in the production process.

This workshop area is Xiao Ming's pilot project. If the workshop area model is successful, the workshop area will continue to expand. After all, he has only a few workshops so far, and these workshops are far from being able to be completely dismissed. Great Yu country with consumption potential.

So the next step, Xiao Ming's plan is to expand, copy more steel workshops, and more wineries until saturation.

However, expansion requires money, as well as sufficient labor, which is why Xiao Ming and Chen Wenlong lamented that there are not enough craftsmen.

Chen Wenlong said that the fastest way to get a craftsman in a war, of course he understands it, but to start a war with his current ability, then eat arsenic with the old lady and seek death for a reason.

But this also reminded Xiao Ming that he might not have to personally participate in the war, but just buy it with money.

And now the barbarians who enjoy the most war dividends are the barbarians. Whether it is the plunder of the Great Yu Kingdom, the oppression of Goryeo, or the war with the Ottoman Empire in Central Asia, the barbarians will loot a large number of slaves every year.

In Xiao Ming's opinion, the barbarians' warfare methods are very clever. After analyzing many barbarian war cases, he found that massacres are always carried out in barbarian wars. This is a kind of war intimidation, similar to the way of war in contemporary Mongolia.

After conquering a country or tribe, the barbarians will organize a slave army, that is, a modern puppet army, use the puppet army to consume the strength of the opponent, and finally make their own shots.

At present, the barbarians have wiped out fifteen large and small tribes and countries in the grasslands and the Western Regions, until they encountered the Ottoman Empire.

Because the history of this time and space only changed after the Han Dynasty, Europe did not avoid being devastated by the Xiongnu who moved westward. In the Liang Dynasty before the dynasty, the grassland tribes that rose from the grassland at that time moved westward again during the war of the Liang Dynasty.

Persian merchants from the west depicted a second nomadic invasion of Central Asia and Europe.

In Xiao Ming's opinion, it was fifty years earlier than the contemporary Mongolian invasion of Europe. It was because the steppe tribe of the Liang Dynasty replaced the butterfly effect of Mongolia's invasion of Europe, so Xiao Ming was worried that the historical process of Europe would not take place. Change.

But this is just his guess, but the birth of the Ottoman Empire is enough to explain some problems.

As for today's barbarians, in Xiao Ming's view, they are just Jurchens, because the war between the Liang Dynasty and the grassland tribes led to the westward migration of the grassland owners, which gave this tribe a chance to occupy the northern grasslands.

Now, coupled with the half-agricultural and half-pastoral way of life, this group is really strong.

It's an eventful time. Xiao Ming murmured. Although the development trajectory of the barbarians has changed, the nature of Hulu is difficult and easy.

Perhaps he is facing a more vicious and powerful enemy than the contemporary Ming Dynasty.

That's why he was not in the mood to fight for imperial power with those older brothers and younger brothers, but instead recharged his energy to face more violent storms.

After coming out of the workshop area, Xiao Ming did not return to the palace, but went to Xiaoqinghe, where his property was.

At this time, Lu Fei was rolling up his sleeves and reclaiming wasteland with the soldiers, and he was not nervous at all about killing the children of the two wealthy families.

Hey, this is a rib. Xiao Ming sighed.

If Lu Fei did this to other vassal kings, his head would have been chopped off many times.

Let's go and have a look. Xiao Ming said to Zhao Long and Zhao Hu.

Spring is about to start, and some crops can be grown on this land. Xiao Ming is thinking about what to grow. Food is naturally the main thing, but things like cotton can also be grown.

In the early spring, people and snakes seemed to wake up from hibernation like snakes. Throughout the winter, Xiao Ming didn't want to go anywhere.

One is the snow blocking the road, and the other is the bone-chilling cold.

Now he can finally ride his horse and let the cold wind hit his face.

At this time, some residual snow can still be seen on the banks of the Xiaoqing River, but there is no ice layer on the river surface, and occasionally a few wild ducks can be seen swimming around in the river water.

In front of him stood three thousand new troops, with hundreds of oxen working in the fields.

The soil is flying, and the smell of spring mud gives people a natural taste.

Your Highness. Seeing Xiao Ming coming, Lu Fei ran barefooted from the mud to the ridge, How is it? Your Highness, is it alright here?

It's pretty good. Has all the land of this king been reclaimed?

No, but it's not too much. I promise to reclaim and play before the spring ploughing. Lu Fei assured.

Xiao Ming patted Lu Fei on the shoulder. Seeing a soldier passing by was driving oxen to plow the field, he suddenly became interested and said, Let this king try.

The soldier was startled and stood there, not knowing what to do below, but looked at Lu Fei.

Lu Fei said in astonishment: His Royal Highness wants to drive cattle? This is the job of a villager in the countryside. His Highness is the King of Qi, which is a loss of identity.

Xiao Mingcai doesn't care about who is or is not, let alone that contemporary leader can't make a show. Although he is not a show, it is just for fun, but this is also an opportunity to communicate with the soldiers.

Maybe in the future history books, there will be a story about him and the soldiers sharing weal and woe.

Therefore, in Xiao Ming's view, such activities should be attended more, this is also an opportunity to establish his image in the army.

It's okay. Xiao Ming took the rope from the soldier's hand when he spoke, and skillfully drove away the cattle.

In his previous life, Xiao Ming was also a child in the ravine in the south. He dealt with water buffalo a lot when he was a child. At this time, he was no stranger to picking up a rope, and he skillfully drove the cattle.

Lu Fei and the soldiers were even more surprised, and they were stunned. This King Qi changed the image in their hearts again.

This is Lu Fei shouting to the soldiers who are ploughing the fields: Everyone, work harder, His Royal Highness King Qi will personally go down to the fields and plant the fields with us. Before the spring ploughing, we must cultivate this land.

The soldiers in the distance didn't know what was going on here, but the news spread quickly, and they whispered suddenly, but then, they seemed to have infinite strength again, and they worked vigorously.

Xiao Ming's unattainable image also became close in their hearts.
