Chapter 901 All-Round Attack

February 9th.

More than three months have passed since the Nandu operation, and the season has gradually transitioned from winter to spring.

After receiving the supplies from Lin'an a few days ago, the next time a steady stream of various materials entered Qingzhou, which was a grand occasion for a while.

And under this grand occasion, the cabinet allocated funds quickly after discussion, and the key military workshop was allocated a big piece of meat.

Chen Qi and Song Changping breathed a sigh of relief and expanded the production line at the same time. The production of the Falcon rifle entered a stage of speeding up, and Chen Qi was even more busy. After he supervised the construction of the grenade factory, he began to invest a lot of money in the development of the breech gun.

The breech loading method of the Falcon rifle has given him a clear reminder. After all, the gun is just an enlarged gun. The gun can be loaded from the back of the butt, and this cannon can naturally.

In this way, the problem of the difficulty of loading rifled cannons, which had troubled Chen Qi for a long time, was completely solved.

In addition to the military workshop, the Railway Division has also received a large amount of funds. According to Princess Pingyang's promise to Xiao Ming, the railway from Qingzhou to Youzhou will be basically completed by the end of the year. After all, the distance between Kaiping and Youzhou is only a hundred miles. This is not a difficult question.

After this achievement, the Railway Division, which injected a large amount of funds, started the construction of the Kaiping-Changan railway line, as well as the construction of the Laiwu-Xuzhou and Xuzhou-Jinling railways.

Of course, the four railways from east to west, north to south, are not straight, but curved, passing through almost every important city.

Once the railway is fully opened to traffic, the entire north will be connected, but it will take at least two or three years to achieve this goal, and the railway construction in Kanto will be even more difficult.

At the same time as the railway is being laid vigorously, the construction of cement roads has also been carried out. Now the main roads from Qingzhou to the nearby county towns have all been turned into cement roads.

Some roads in the county and in the countryside were also rebuilt. At the same time, businessmen who had the qualifications to build factories began to go to other cities to build cement factories.

Because some wealthy cities started to build roads under the order of the imperial court, but because there were no cement factories in the area, businessmen who were driven by profit naturally saw this business opportunity.

Just building a cement plant is not a simple matter. It requires prospecting and mining equipment. As a result, related factories are established to provide supply and demand for the mines.

The industry of Dayu State began to radiate from Qingzhou Prefecture to the surrounding area due to the recovery of the northern economy, and another batch of capital investment accelerated this process.

"Your Majesty, this capital investment is now blooming everywhere in Da Yu, and all walks of life have been greatly expanded. If this continues, within a year, the total industrial volume of Da Yu will double again."

Pang Yukun handed him the payment summary form.

Xiao Ming smiled. In fact, this is impossible. Because the total amount of industry is small, it is so easy to double it. However, it is a miracle that the Great Yu Kingdom has developed from nothing in the past nine years to what it is now. .

The only thing he needs to do now is to expand the local industrial development to the whole country, otherwise it will not work to make small troubles in one place. After all, today's Western countries are a holistic industrial system.

"This is the charm of money." Xiao Ming bared his teeth. The wealth seized from Lin'an was quickly squandered by the prodigal cabinet. He is now thinking about auctioning off the mansions, workshops, shops, and some of the land left by the wealthy family.

At this stage, it is necessary to concentrate funds to do big things, not to mention that the bulk of Lin'an's wealth is these things, but businessmen who are accustomed to living in Qingzhou do not seem to buy it.

But it doesn't matter, he has a way, how to stimulate economic development if the rich don't consume, everyone is a piggy bank with only in and out, which is not good for economic development.

After a pause, he said: "I have an idea, there are too many merchants in Qingzhou now, and for the balanced development of the industry in the Great Yu country, a business zone should also be established in the south, and all businessmen who do business in the business zone can get preferential treatment. Thinking about painting Suzhou, Songjiang, and Nanjing as a business district."

Pang Yukun instantly understood what Xiao Ming meant. Now that the thermal power plant in Qingzhou has started, it will not be long before Qingzhou will enter the era of electricity first.

Once we enter the era of electricity, many backward workshops will face elimination.

But it is a waste to eliminate these workshops now. After all, the spread of industry requires a process, and there are still many places in Da Yu that have not been covered by the light of industry.

Therefore, it is necessary for the imperial court to lead businessmen to transfer the backward workshops to a place where they are afraid at this time, so that the Great Yu Kingdom can form a wave of industrial development process.

Qingzhou is the center of the wave, representing the most advanced technology, and the technology outside the wave is getting lower and lower, so as not to waste a little productivity.

"It's time to draw a business district." Pang Yukun laughed wickedly. Once the business district is established, those big businessmen with sufficient funds will go back to these areas to purchase land and real estate, and build workshops.

In this way, the industry and commerce in this place will live, and at the same time, the imperial court can obtain a lot of funds by selling the wealthy assets.

After all, the fixed output of these wealthy families is huge, which is no less than the wealth shipped to Qingzhou.

The two made the plan with a smirk, and Pang Yukun immediately went back to think about how to plan the matter.

While Qingzhou gained enormous vitality because of its funds, the war in the south continued.

After conquering Lin'an, Niu Ben did not choose to continue the attack, but rested in Lin'an city and waited for ammunition supplies and reinforcements.

Lin'an is only a point in the process of going south, and in the south of Lin'an, there are many other points, and he must be fully prepared.

After waiting for more than a month, the second batch of 20,000 grenades was sent to Lin'an, while 40,000 recruits armed with falcon rifles went to the battlefield.

At this time, the number of troops heading south reached 140,000.

"140,000 people, that's enough."

In Lin'an's temporary staff, Niu Ben looked firm. Now for every soldier, the most important thing at the moment is to end the war in the south. After all, there are still a lot of troubles waiting for them to deal with.

"Lu Fei, you are responsible for attacking Shaoxing, Ningzhou and other cities in the south, Luo Xin, you are responsible for attacking Huizhou and other cities in the west. After the goal is achieved, the two of you will attack the southwest together and recover the southwestern regions."

"Yes, General." Lu Fei and Luo Xin said in unison.

They are now confident, because the production speed of the military workshop has been greatly improved, and they are not afraid of anyone with sufficient ammunition.

Luo Quan reminded: "Although we have mastered more advanced firearms, we must not take it lightly. The Merchant Council still has a few brushes."
