Chapter 491 Layout of the Iron and Steel Industry

October 9th, Shanhai City, Southern Border Protectorate.

Although Shanhai City's promotion was silent and did not attract the attention of the outside world, it was a remarkable achievement for Shanhai City itself.

Not to mention other things, just the increased teleportation array and the widened river channel will have an extremely profound impact on the development of Shanhai City and enhance the city's development potential.

I just don't know what kind of reward Gaia will prepare for the next promotion.

In the main hall, the territory stele had sunk into the ground again, and Ouyang Shuo began to check the properties of the territory.

List of basic construction buildings:

Construction conditions: senior luthier, architectural drawings of the Qin Academy, 20,000 units of wood, 20,000 units of blue bricks, and 10,000 units of stone. Construction time: twenty days. (Note: Construction has been completed.)

[Wholesale Market]: A commercial market that sells goods and services to secondary wholesalers and retailers, chambers of commerce and government. Construction conditions: mature wholesale commodities and channels, 30,000 units of wood, 50,000 units of blue bricks, and 30,000 units of stone. Construction time: twenty days.

There are some new changes in the territory attribute panel of the second-level county city.

The biggest change is the addition of [Technology Index] to the Territory Index.

From this, it also means that the further the territory develops, the more important the level of technology becomes. Shanhai City's [Science and Technology Index] only has 50 points, which pales in comparison with the other four indexes.

In the next step, Ouyang Shuo plans to increase investment in scientific research funds.

In September, although Ouyang Shuo was not in Shanhai City, the Finance Department still sent the financial statements of the territory to him for review. Compared with last month, the territory's net fiscal revenue went one step further, breaking through the 200,000 gold coin mark for the first time.

Of course, the transfer payment to Zhaoqing County and the additional military expenditures arising from the just-concluded army reorganization have not been deducted.

After deducting these two items, there is roughly a balance of 100,000 gold coins.

Ouyang Shuo already has a draft on how to use this fund, and he will discuss it with Yingyou later.

In addition to the territory index, there are also subtle changes in other aspects.

Compared with the first-level county city, the population limit of the second-level county city has doubled again. The affiliated cities Friendship City and Yushui City were both promoted to county towns, and the number of refugees in Shanhai City was refreshed every day, increasing to 2,150.

At the normal refresh rate of refugees, it would take more than 230 days to reach the population limit again. If you count the people from Wangcheng who come to Shanhai City to settle every day, this time will be shortened.

Ouyang Shuo estimated that in May and June of Gaia's three years, Shanhai City will be able to advance again.

Originally, Ouyang Shuo was not very enthusiastic about the promotion of the county. After all, the 4400 merit points rewarded by the system are no longer attractive to him.

Shanhai City no longer needs to create the first to establish its dominance. If it is really necessary, it will also be a competition for the future "No. 1 Capital City in the World". And that, at least two years later.

Ouyang Shuo remembered that in the five years of Gaia's previous life, there was not a single duke born in the whole world. I just don't know if he can break this record.

It's just that for this promotion, Ouyang Shuo accidentally discovered that Gaia had a "big gift package" as a gift. In this way, Ouyang Shuo immediately looked forward to the next promotion in the territory.

Except for changes in the population cap and territorial area, other changes such as [Zhuzi Baijia] are fine-tuning by Gaia for the progress of the wilderness, and have nothing to do with the overall situation.

In addition to the territory attribute interface, the last is the basic building.

There are only two poor basic buildings in the second-level county city.

Needless to say, the Qin Academy captured a musician when they captured Leizhou County, and he was the master Shiwen in the Spring and Autumn Period. Less than half a month after the war, Qinyuan was listed in the Lingnan University Hall.

The only difficult thing is the wholesale market.

The construction of wholesale markets does not require architectural drawings, but requires "mature wholesale products and channels." Ouyang Shuo understood this requirement in this way.

First, since it is a wholesale market, it naturally needs suitable commodities.

Wholesale is only required for bulk commodity transactions, such as rice, salt, cloth, leather, and porcelain. This point, Shanhai City already has.

Second, it is necessary to establish a sound commodity channel.

The general commodity transactions in the territory are all major chambers of commerce or merchants, who go directly to the prefectures and counties, and buy directly from the common people or major farms.

If you want to build a wholesale market, you need to add a secondary dealer.

In this way, merchants don’t have to go down hard to buy, but local dealers buy them one by one, and then transport them to the wholesale market for unified transactions.

Second-hand traffickers earn a little profit in the middle, and the Chamber of Commerce saves labor costs and time costs.

Everyone is happy.

The above two points are actually to ensure that after the wholesale market is completed, there will be no dilemma of "there is a market but no market" and "when it opens, it is the day when it stops working".

For the second point, the territory is not perfect yet.

Therefore, the construction of the wholesale market still needs a period of incubation.

After checking the attributes of the territory, Ouyang Shuo left the main hall and returned to the study. Taking advantage of still some time, Ouyang Shuo simply prepared to deal with some matters before returning to Wulong City.

***********

When Liu Mo walked into the Southern Border Protectorate's Mansion, he was full of doubts.

For Ouyang Shuo, the sworn brother, and Liu Mo, the hot weapon master, he only has admiration in his heart. He didn't expect that this unremarkable foster brother in reality could stir up troubles in the game.

Although Liu Mo was devoting himself to the research of muskets and cannons, he basically kept his ears to the outside world. But the system announcements that kept ringing were still reminding him that Shanhai City was still rushing forward.

Because of this, Liu Mo didn't want to fall behind.

With the cooperation of him and Magnus, the research on muskets has made some key progress. Liu Mo wondered if it was because of this that Ouyang Shuo called him here.

When Liu Mo stepped into the study, Ouyang Shuo was talking with Cui Yingyou, Director of Finance.

Ouyang Shuo was talking, while Yingyou was listening and recording seriously.

The two brothers and sisters cooperated tacitly.

"For the shipbuilding industry, the Department of Industry needs to make a good plan. The shipyard should add at least three more shipyards on the existing basis. Zhenhai City can build a huge shipyard, and Yanluo City in Leizhou County can also build one. Finally One, and then choose a site in Qiongzhou County. The shipbuilding industry will definitely be one of the pillar industries of the territory, and it is necessary to start layout and expand production capacity in advance. In the future, the demand for both merchant ships and warships will only increase."

"clear!"

"Although the reorganization of the army has cost a lot of money, it is not impossible to make up for it. You can contact Director Du to replace the weapons and equipment that have been eliminated during this army reorganization, including the weapons and equipment collected on the battlefield. All of them will be shipped to Yashan City for sale. In this way, a large amount of transaction tax will be saved. I estimate that this batch of weapons and equipment can be sold for at least 300,000 gold coins. In the current Yashan City, the enthusiasm of foreigners for island exploration, It is very high and is in need of resupply of weapons and equipment."

Yingyou's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded vigorously. She thought, this time she must make a fortune.

"Of course, more support should be given to the military industry. I will let the intelligence stations of the king cities cooperate with the Finance Department to directly launch large-scale job fairs in the nine king cities. With high salaries and high benefits, blacksmiths and tailors will be recruited. Settle in Shanhai City and add it to the major army workshops. In addition, the military workshops in various counties can also operate in this way. On this matter, the Finance Department should cooperate with the War Preparedness Department."

The military industry can be said to be the behind-the-scenes hero of the territory's previous military expansion.

Without the hard work of countless craftsmen, how could Shanhai City change the new army's outfits again and again. How can we use the weapons and equipment that have been exchanged for sale to fill the gap in military expenditures.

Just like this, the treatment of craftsmen in military workshops is also the highest among craftsmen.

After Shanhai City re-divided the urban area, it directly classified the southern urban area as a military industrial area. In addition to the objective needs of the expansion of major workshops, there is another point, which is to provide more superior treatment for craftsmen.

The Construction Department ordered the Shanhai City government to build residential areas for military families in Nancheng District. But all craftsmen in military workshops can enjoy free housing.

This alone makes others envious.
