The original plan to build the ironclad ship was extremely expensive.

It can be said that this was smashing almost half of the proceeds from the house search.

Thousands of silver patterns, hundreds of thousands of various craftsmen and laborers, and countless technicians who stood out, spent several years, and every day was to build ships.

It can be said that this ironclad ship should not have appeared in this era at all.

Because if we rely on historical processes, the construction of ironclad ships at this time is purely to boost growth, and just to build ironclad ships, it is equivalent to rebuilding a Grand Canal or building a new Great Wall.

This is not just the simplest way to allocate the money, but also the manpower and material resources involved are countless.

Such direct and powerful push to invest money that could have been used to improve people's livelihood is essentially unsustainable.

But... now, the time for harvest has really come.

In order to manufacture ironclad ships, the mining technology of various ores has been greatly improved.

The smelting of steel and other metals is also a long way to go.

Tens of thousands of people have already gained a preliminary understanding of the manufacturing of machinery, and there is even a group of people standing out and becoming the best in this era.

In the process of leading manufacturing, a group of people who are good at management and organization have gradually emerged, and they have gradually been able to organize the coordination and organizational capabilities of large-scale engineering and equipment manufacturing.

Of course, there are also the manufacturing capabilities of boilers, steam engines, bearings, machine tools and other equipment, and they have also begun to have enough experience.

In order to overcome many technical difficulties in manufacturing ironclad ships, they have now become a realistic skill.

A large number of craftsmen have also been trained. The high standards adopted by ironclad ships must be matched with many components. Therefore, many skilled craftsmen have begun to gradually master higher skills.

And now...

Liaodong needs people and skills, and never lacks the organization and coordination ability of various projects.

Zhang Jingyi's various investment funds also began to pour in.

Suddenly, demand became extremely strong.

There are people looking for opportunities everywhere, and when everyone sees opportunities, they mainly don’t be stupid and can make a fortune.

Everyone is racking their brains to come up with all kinds of new ideas, or... come up with a new deal.

As a result, a variety of workshops appeared like mushrooms after a rain.

Craftsmen became the target of everyone's looting.

A lot of labor comes with it.

Production brought about demand for mining, and mining and production gave birth to a large number of employees. Employees could no longer return to the small peasant economy where men farmed and women weaved and were self-sufficient, so there was a demand for consumption, including food, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and therefore... countless shops were derived, which gave birth to stronger demand.

The population growth... seems to have begun.

The head effect is very obvious. When Liaodong was still a barren land, you tied up people and cried and reluctantly. But when the city began to take shape, many people in the pass began to flock to it.

The court approved Zhang Jingyi's imperial edict and plan.

Bandits and bandits have always been a difficult problem for various government officials. At this time, since someone is willing to take them away, it would be better.

For the imperial court, throwing people to Liaodong, or to places further away from Liaodong is nothing more than exile and aggression to these people, and it is better.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are still quite appealing to many remnants of bandits in the pass and bandits from all over the country.

Moreover, the two of them are the most outstanding figures who stand out in the sea of ​​corpses and blood. They can be the leader of hundreds of thousands of bandits, so they naturally have their terrible appeal and charm.

The so-called appeal, to be more popular, is to deceive.

After all... bandits are not officials, you have to work with you, and you have no salary to pay them.

At this time, describe the future prospects, make your blood boil, and scream to express your willingness to hang out with you and entrust your life to you. The ability to rather go all the way to the dark is very important.

In this regard, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are both geniuses who are self-taught, and they are born to do this.

Passionate letters of surrender really touched the hearts of others.

Some of the mountain kings had no ambitions at all, and just wanted to guard the mountain, bring some minions, and rely on robbers to rob the house.

But after reading the letter, my qi and blood suddenly surged, and I suddenly became excited.

There is a future, and you are all thieves, so why not be a thief with evidence?

The worries were pressed down. These were Brother Li and Brother Zhang. They are famous and surnamed characters. It is rare that people still look down on me and want to participate in the event with me. Can they still harm me?

The government’s surrender should be true. A thief like Brother Li and Brother Zhang is still alive?

Therefore, there are countless people who want to leave the pass through the three mountains and five mountains.

Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng made plans for settlement early.

They are the ones who know these people best and treat them with courtesy, but these people are used to being casual and need to be managed by rules.

To put it bluntly, if you want such people to be honest and honest, and to work hard with you, you have to feed them on the one hand, and on the other hand, you have to respect them. You cannot regard them as a thief, you need to regard them as a man.

You can respect it, and Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's swords are not in love. When you come, you will be a family. But the family also has family rules. Whoever dares to disobey or commit rashness will definitely be merciless.

At least the chaos that Zhang Jingyi was worried about at the beginning did not happen.

Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng organized all the people.

The elderly, weak, women and children stayed for farming, and the young and strong men were smarter. Whether they wanted to be craftsmen safely or take the military academy, they all came true.

The rest of the people were all adapted and distributed war horses and weapons, and soon... they set off in the wind and snow.

Huang Taiji was obviously not to be outdone. He knew that the next time he would encounter was a tough guy. This Tsarist Russia may not be comparable to those ordinary Khanate countries. On the other hand, the competition between Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong also stimulated them.

At this time, Huang Taiji already knew that there was an Ural Mountain in the extreme north, with many passes there. After crossing the Ural Mountain, it was a large plain and fertile land of thousands of miles.

Therefore, what he preached to the slaves of Jiannu was that the profit would be ten times higher than that of the mountain. Zhang and Li had already set out, and we were imminent. At that time, Liu Bang, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, had an oath to the emperor, and Xiang Yu, who had entered Guanzhong first, would be the king. Although there was no vow between us and Zhang and Li, who would have entered Guanzhong first, would he be able to get a mountain of gold. The mountain of gold is right in front of us, how could we fall behind others?

So all the elite troops of the Eight Banners emerged, and they were all excited and even more motivated.

At this time, Zhang Jingyi secretly summoned many people to arrive in Lushun.

Whether it was Liu Wenxiu, Li Dingguo, or other leaders at the Donglin Military Academy, there were even many civil servants who had been trained since Xinxian.

Now these people are all alone, and they gather at the Liao Palace.

Not surprisingly, the people of this came from the Jinyiwei, the Donglin Army and the civil servant system, with dozens of people.

Almost all of them were cultivated by Zhang Jing step by step, and their biggest common point is that they are young.

Of course, the refugees in Guanzhong accounted for the vast majority.

This is also impossible. Thinking about the beginning, Zhang Jingyi was just an ordinary Jinyiwei Qianhu, the county magistrate of Xinxian County. The people he could recruit and train could never be very high. At that time, even an ordinary scholar, I was afraid that he would despise Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi sat down steadily, and there was no sign of too much emotion on his face, but his eyes quickly glanced across everyone's face.

Everyone looked at Zhang Jingyi in full spirit, looking quite excited.

When Zhang Jingyi ordered people to serve tea, everyone picked up the teacup.

Zhang Jingyi then smiled and said, "This is a tea made from Jiangnan. It is made of spring water from the mountain spring outside the city. Come and try it."

Li Dingguo and others laughed and were eager to try. Everyone didn't dare to swallow it anymore. They knew that the tea was very expensive, so they all sucked it carefully, for fear that they would drink it too quickly.

Zhang Jingyi took a sip and then said, "How is it, how does it taste?"

Someone said, "I don't understand either, but... it looks very expensive."

Li Dingguo said: "This tea is good, this tea is good, and it has endless aftertaste."

Zhang Jing smiled and raised the teacup again.

But this time, he raised the teacup not to drink tea, but...

The sound was a little harsh.

I saw the teacup fall to the ground and the teacup was smashed.

Fortunately, there are no outsiders here. If there are outsiders, you will be scared to death when you hear the sound of the cup throwing. You must know... Traditionally, throwing the cup is a command, a prelude to the ambushing of the sword and axe driver.

However, there were Zhang Jingyi's disciples or old officials here. I didn't expect that this floor would be the first reaction of the mentor who slid his cup with his hands. Li Dingguo, who was closest to him, even tried to step forward to help Zhang Jingyi clean up the mess on the ground.

Zhang Jingyi suddenly said, "No need to deal with it, it was intentional for me."

Li Dingguo was stunned and looked at Zhang Jingyi for no reason.

Zhang Jingyi sighed and said, "When this tea was purchased in Suzhou, it was 143 taels of silver per kilogram. Such tea needs to be properly stored and sent to Liaodong. The manpower and material resources are really amazing."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be amazed, and they all said in their hearts that they had just eaten up a tael of silver?
