However, it is well known that the court has poor work efficiency.

The relevant orders from the Ministry of War have just been issued. It is estimated that when the army really arrives in Shandong, Shanxi, and even Henan, it will be half a month or more in half a month.

Therefore, the situation in Shanxi is still going well, and Li Ju and the others are still continuing to advance outside in an orderly manner.

Of course, this is also because they deliberately avoided some places with garrisons and only captured areas with no garrisons or very weak forces.

They are not stupid!

How could it be that when you first revolt, you ran to the strongest place? Isn’t that asking for death?

The correct way is of course to go to some places with little strength to catch a circle, collect enough food and armaments, and conquer enough people and get enough troops to attack areas with more troops.

...

Although Jiang Hao has been trying his best to collect various information, he currently has very few forces, and his coverage is relatively limited.

Therefore, for some related situations in the capital, the news will inevitably lag behind for a period of time.

Therefore, at this time he didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen was finally planning to attack them.

He is still orderly planning various plans in Yongning County according to his plan.

In terms of land, because the seeds of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn are very rare, some people can only be sent to Luliang to promote that it may continue to drought in the next two or three years, and advise them to plant drought-tolerant crops.

At the same time, it also guarantees all farmers that in the next few years, all kinds of taxes, such as population taxes, will be exempted from being charged.

Even free labor was suspended and replaced by paid wage labor.

Although doing so may cause a little shortage of funds, this is undoubtedly the most effective way to maintain overall reputation and make the people more supportive.

Although ordinary people cannot see any more profound meaning, they can clearly distinguish what kind of policies are good for them and what kind of policies can make them profit!

Now, most of the common people in Luliang are after Li Ju and others led their men to kill local tyrants and evil gentry, and Jiang Hao calculated and verified the distribution to ordinary people.

Now he is exempt from heavy taxes and even the basic capitol tax. How can these people not be unhappy and not support them?

If anyone outside dares to say bad things to the Holy Son, even ordinary people will have to beat him up when they hear it.

This is fame, and it is the will of the people.

However, everything has its pros and cons. Today, Jiang Hao uses the hearts of the people to maintain stability, so he will inevitably be more strict with himself in the future and cannot make any measures that disappoint the people.

Otherwise, the people's will may become the people's support at any time, causing backlash.

Of course, Jiang Hao, in addition to sending people to promote the cultivation of drought-resistant crops to all the people.

We also taught all the relevant technologies for composting and soil fertilizer production.

However, he did not force the people to do this immediately, but planned to wait for the wheat harvest in the planting base to go to various townships to find some famous elderly people to come and take a look.

When they see that soil fertilizers and other things can indeed increase production and the increase production effect is quite good, they will rush to do it themselves without anyone persuading them.

In addition to focusing on grain cultivation, most of Jiang Hao's remaining energy is devoted to various workshops that have just begun to be established or have not been established for a long time.

These workshops are the largest money-making channels and arms production bases in Jiang Hao’s plan in the future.

However, due to various shortages in personnel, funds, etc., it can only be presented temporarily in the form of workshops.

It includes various relatively basic primary craft workshops such as glass workshops, glass workshops, cement workshops, white medicine workshops, gunpowder workshops, and steelmaking workshops.

Among them, things like glass are mainly used to make various expensive mirrors, ornaments, jewelry and other handicrafts.

These products can be transported to the south through some channels of the White Lotus Sect to exchange for large amounts of funds to expand arms and consolidate the rear.

Cement is a necessary thing for building water conservancy measures, accelerating infrastructure and improving transportation levels.

Of course, the most important thing is to build various infrastructure that might have to be built in just a few months, which may have taken three or two years to build.

This time improvement is undoubtedly what Jiang Hao and the others need most at the moment.

As for the earth bombs made of white medicine and gunpowder used to treat wounds, they are provided to the front army.

Although Ken is not as good as a professionally produced artillery firearm, Jiang Hao can only do this due to his limitations in his craftsmanship.

It's better to have it than not to come.

At least it can be regarded as a powerful weapon for siege.

Of course, these workshops are just small workshops now, and they will definitely not always be small workshops in the future.

At present, Jiang Hao has been trying his best to improve the machine technology and expand the product range of these workshops.

However, this kind of thing is really not a short time, and it can be seen in one or two days.

Even if Jiang Hao has a comprehensive production method for various industrial equipment and products, it cannot be achieved overnight.

For things like technology trees, you still have to climb up step by step.

If a certain thing is not made, then everything related to this thing cannot be made later cannot be made.

This is not urgent at all.

...

The steelmaking workshop in the suburbs of Yongning County

In the workshop, a group of young and strong workers were bare-handed, regardless of sweat, and ignoring their heads, rushing to the sky to put iron into the burning furnace.

The blower below also kept blowing the wind, making the coke in the fuel chamber burn more fully and the temperature gradually rise.

I have to say that the temperature at the steelmaking workshop is indeed very high, and Jiang Hao just walks in and feels like he enters the steamer.

The most terrifying thing is that there is less steam here than the steamer, which looks drier, and it is the extremely dry and scorching heat.

Less than two minutes after entering, Jiang Hao felt his lips dry, his forehead and body began to sweat. I guess if he stayed for a few more minutes, his clothes would be much wet.

“Master Zhou!

Can you hear it?

How did you create the drawings I gave you last time? Is it difficult?

Have you made a few parts with higher precision?"
