Chapter 689: Steam Gravel
In the following time, Li De participated in the work of the city guard, and the population multiplication should give priority to solving the problem of labor employment.
Now there is still some money in the treasury of Youzhou, and he has limited access to it.
"Li Xuan, now there are a lot of armor orders in the Youzhou Workshop, which require a large amount of iron ore, and the people are arranged to mine in a limited way."
"Yes."
"Prepare more food, settle the salary after a month, and don't be slack off in terms of food, it's all hard work to keep them fed is the most basic."
"Yes."
"The speed at which other workshops are looking for people can't be left behind."
"Yes."
Li Ying didn't have time to go out in the Governor's Mansion when Li De called him aside and began to arrange tasks.
Li De is so concerned, as a younger brother, he will fully support it.
With Li De's command, with the cooperation of all the officials of the City Lord's Mansion, things were done quickly, and a large number of people were transferred to the mines controlled by Youzhou.
The significant increase in production efficiency has also led to the development of the vicinity of the mines, many of which have formed villages in the vicinity of the mines.
Let most of them be engaged in the mining industry, although they cannot be exchanged for cash quickly, it has a great effect on Youzhou iron ore and coal reserves.
The vanguard's armor order has enough materials to make this time, and the Youzhou Workshop has gained a lot of money in this troubled world.
The lord of Yujun is in charge of finance, and she is staring at the orders, and the money she has just spent has earned a lot of money through orders.
In the vicinity of the mine, there are now tens of thousands of people working, some carrying stones, some knocking stones, the division of labor is clear, and basically all of them are hard work.
In the open space of the mine, someone is adding coal to the steam engine, which uses a slow iron cone to vibrate at a slow frequency on the large rock.
After a while, the stones that the three of them were holding together would crack, and then someone would continue to transport the stones in a trailer.
After the huge stones were broken up with a steam engine, the smaller stones were transported to the crowd and broken with small hammers.
The division of labor and cooperation, the scene of tens of thousands of people banging and beating together is quite spectacular.
"What's the huge thing over there, and why did it break the stone?"
Newcomers are curious about new things.
"That's a steam engine, through the conversion of steam into kinetic energy to drive the flywheel and the vibrating cone to break stone, with the steam engine, our work will save a lot of effort, work quickly, and strive to get a bonus at the end of the month."
The newcomers are curious, and no one helps to answer in depth, because they are busy with their hard work and there will be additional bonuses if they work hard.
The newcomers are curious, but it's hard not to get noticed with such a huge iron stove in a prominent position.
The "Gravel Monster" is used by the Youzhou Workshop to make a test machine, and according to Li De's proposal, the steam engine is directly used in mining gravel, and it has been tried for a long time.
Now there are huge stone crushers that save a lot of time against huge stones.
The iron ore is pulled away and smelted into iron, and the remaining gravel is used to build roads, and the road surface of the iron ore village is better than that of many state capitals and towns, thanks to the abundance of gravel.
The purpose of building the road is also very simple, not far away is the kiln workshop, and the cement is obtained through the kiln.
Smelted iron ore is a sought-after resource.
Li De is confident that he is not short of money, and he also relies on these resources.
Youzhou Workshop is the guarantee of quality and reputation, just when the financial bottom of the city guard, the income of the workshop is back a lot of capital.
Relying on Youzhou's excellent smelting technology, the weapons they created were of high quality, and the cost and price were very reasonable.
In addition, Youzhou also collects ore.
Many factions have ore in their hands and use it as a discount, that is, the workshop will buy it at a corresponding price.
The orders for discounts with iron ore are basically large orders of power, and they know that the cost of building weapons through their own blacksmiths is very high, and the weapons manufactured are not as good as those of the Youzhou workshop.
Between the cost and benefit, there are many forces that will choose to take iron ore out so that they can get the most value.
After the delivery of several orders from Youzhou Workshop, the profit of hundreds of thousands of yuan can support the business of each workshop.
Because of the war, most of the merchants took refuge in the sixteen states of Youji, and many merchants built many workshops under the guidance of the city guard.
The solution to the employment of labor has also enriched the variety of products, Youzhou is still a center of commerce and trade, and the state capitals have begun to develop in terms of manufacturing.
The opening of shops, the registration of the construction workshop city guard, the audit officials are very attentive, and the whole process is handled by the officials themselves.
On-site inspection procedures, follow-up feedback, so that businessmen do not have to worry.
The most important thing the officials wanted to hear was that someone opened a new shop, built a new workshop, and even the city guard of Zhaogong helped to put it into production within a day.
The development of business and the opening of shops are all related to taxes and the achievements of officials, so everyone is very concerned.
In two months, there have been new changes in the sixteen states of Youji, with more and more population and more and more developed commerce.
The orders of the workshops in Youzhou are continuous, there are orders for armor, carriages and the production of various tools.
When various places were busy conquering cities and territories, Youzhou became a powerful material provider, and some forces even came to buy food.
Li De is busy with economic development, and he is also reading the information of Red Peony.
Although the current situation is very chaotic, it has not really shaken the foundation of Emperor Yang of Sui, who has now returned to Luoyang.
There were 200,000 soldiers and horses and 300,000 northwestern soldiers, and after returning to Luoyang, they immediately sent northwestern troops north to block the Turks.
The Northwest Army was dispatched, and the 12 Taibao were all sent out to fight, and after more than ten days of fighting, the invading Turks were driven out of Shuofang.
When he learned that the Turkic crisis in the north had been resolved, he wanted to return to the northwest to deal with the invasion of Tuyuhun.
As a result, Emperor Yang of Sui did not allow it.
He is really not worried about the king of the backer leaving, and now the situation of the Sui State is really internal and external, and he is even more afraid that the king of the backer will take measures to resist the decree after returning to the northwest.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty let the king of the backer stay in Luoyang, he was at ease, and the court had already studied it at the meeting, and first assessed the foreign enemy and then judged.
The people of the royal family were all very supportive, and the officials of the imperial court were even more afraid of death, so the heavy garrison in Luoyang could make them feel safe.
Even if Emperor Yang of Sui wanted the backer king to leave, they would not agree.
For two months, the forces that occupied the various state capitals were all busy consolidating their local notices, and the struggle for hegemony did not begin, and the actual situation was not as chaotic as rumored for the people.
It is mainly aimed at the city defense soldiers and horses, you must know that the generals of the Sui State are not all mediocre and stupid, and the city guard generals who lead the troops are still very powerful.
