Qin Feng stood in the place where Jin Shengnan had come to step on the spot, looking down on the entire Daye City, and I had to say that the location chosen by Jin Shengnan was indeed the best observation point in the vicinity. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Taiping Iron Mine, but when it was first opened, Qin Feng came once, and then handed over all the power to skillful hands to manage, and later skillfully left, and the place where Taiping Iron Mine was located also decided to build a new city, which is Daye City. Since the founding of the city, it has been presided over by Jin Shengnan, and two years have passed, and it has become quite large-scale and has entered the formality.

Jin Shengnan's ability to organize and manage the organization is also officially recognized by Qin Feng and the center of the court because of Daye City, you know, Jin Shengnan at the same time as the construction of the city, the operation of the Taiping Iron Mine and the smelters and arsenals gathered here have not been affected, whether it is the production capacity or the quality of the weapons produced, it is still rising, and more new weapons are also being developed here one by one.

For example, the weapons that the Perak Battalion once beat Jiang Haokun's troops at Tzu Chi to the point of losing their armor are actually just experimental products produced here, and these weapons that have been tested by the war are now completely finalized and are being produced on a large scale, ready to be equipped with troops in batches. When these weapons are equipped with various troops, the battle of the Ming army will once again leap to a new level.

Heroic soldiers need not only fighting spirit and perseverance, but also fine armor weapons, solid and durable and light armor, Qin Feng does not think that he can win the war just by relying on bravery. These two things are indispensable for an army.

At the beginning, in the Luoying Mountains, the Qin border army did have courage and perseverance, but in front of the more well-equipped Chu army, their only chance to win was to use their blood to add to the losses caused by the difference in weapons and armor. Victory after victory, it was built with corpses.

It is precisely because of these experiences that Qin Feng firmly follows the line of elite soldiers, preferring to have fewer soldiers, but must be well-equipped.

Qin Feng knew that under every puff of smoke, there was a furnace of steel in production, and when they produced it from here, it would turn into a weapon, or exchange it for an ingot of silver.

"What's that?" Qin Feng pointed a little strangely in the distance, between the two mountains, there was a rippling blue wave, and there was actually a lake. In Qin Feng's memory, there was no such lake here.

"Your Majesty, that's Taiping Lake!" Jin Shengnan looked in the direction that Qin Feng pointed and explained: "Daye, whether it is iron and steel smelting or weapons workshop, needs a lot of water, and it is far from enough to rely on mountain springs and well water. So we use the slag left over from ironmaking, as well as some waste ore, to pile up in the mountain canyon, and then lead the mountain spring to here, and slowly form such a Yansai Lake, we named it Taiping Lake, now Taiping Lake not only solves our production water, but also even domestic water. Your Majesty, please look ahead. ”

Qin Feng looked at the bottom of Taiping Lake.

"Because of the stable water supply, the families of the miners have cultivated a large number of terraced fields downstream, and now we can grow one crop of rice a year in Daye."

"The method is not bad, but Lord Jincheng, have you considered whether there is a possibility that your river dam built with slag will collapse if there is a flash flood?" Qin Feng pointed to the residential areas downstream, "Once the dam collapses, how can these people downstream be lucky?" I'm afraid that I won't have time to react at all, and I'll be washed away, right? ”

"Your Majesty, we have built two aqueducts on both sides, which can drain excess water." Kim Sung-nam Road.

"Have you ever considered some extreme cases?" Qin Feng pointed to the sky, "Sometimes God goes crazy, and it is not something that people can resist at all. Lord Jincheng, I suggest you build two more dams downstream, just in case. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Huichen will arrange it soon, we have a lot of slag here anyway, and it won't take long to build two more dams." Jin Shengnan nodded repeatedly.

"Let's go, let's not go into the city first, let's go to the mine to have a look." Qin Feng smiled at the skillful hands beside him and said, "Skillful hands, this is the old place where you stayed, how about it?" What's changed? ”

"It's changed so much." Skillfully nodded again and again: "The Lord of the Golden City is stronger than me, as soon as His Majesty said that he wanted to build a city here, the minister thought that he wanted to run away quickly, and let real talents do this, my head is only suitable for doing some hands-on things, but I can't do such a big project as building a city." The Golden City Lord did an excellent job, if it weren't for those blast furnaces, I wouldn't have dared to recognize that this was the place where I had stayed in the first place. ”

Qin Feng laughed, "It's those stoves, there are several times more than when you left, but skillful, you don't have to be presumptuous, the Golden City Lord has his strengths, you have your strengths, you two, but they are all my fews." ”

Hearing Qin Feng's self-proclaimedness, Jin Shengnan was secretly happy in his heart, he had heard that in front of people who were not close enough, His Majesty generally called himself me, and only in front of his henchmen and people who absolutely trusted him, he would call himself me, it seemed that in His Majesty's mind, he could already be called a confidant.

"Let's go down the mountain, Lord Jincheng, let's talk while walking, you tell me about the specific situation of Daye City now." Qin Feng Dao.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jin Shengnan walked to Qin Feng's side, and Father-in-law Le, who had been following Qin Feng's side, immediately gave Jin Shengnan a position.

Jin Shengnan is a fine person, since His Majesty came to inspect Daye City, it is natural to ask about the relevant situation of Daye City, these days, he has been doing his homework, for all aspects of Daye City, he has been familiar with all aspects of Daye City, at this moment, there are examples, there are data, extremely detailed, listening to Qin Feng nodded again and again, for this young county guard, is even more high.

In the Ming Dynasty, there is no shortage of capable officials, such as Cheng Weigao of Yongping County, Ma Xiangnan of Changyang County, and Fang Dazhi of Shayang County, but they are all the kind of officials who only grasp the general direction, and it is their forte to point out the direction of progress and make a good plan for doing things, but Jin Shengnan can not only do this, but also know some extremely grassroots things well, which is extremely rare.

Only when we truly understand these grassroots things, when formulating policies in large areas, will we be closer to the needs of the people and avoid many detours.

It's no wonder that the first assistant Quan Yun favors Jin Shengnan, and in front of Qin Feng, he said that Jin Shengnan can take on a greater responsibility after a few years of training, which is actually to train the next first assistant candidate.

For such a person, of course Qin Feng would value a few points.

After going down the mountain, the road suddenly became wider, but Qin Feng stopped, staring intently at the middle of the road, two long railroad tracks, extending from the city of Dazhi to the direction of the mine.

"What is this?" Qin Feng looked at the polished rails on the ground strangely, of course he wouldn't think that this was Daye City's iron that there was no place to use it and it was buried in the ground, it must have had his purpose, but he didn't know it.

"Your Majesty, this is the track we use to haul ore." Kim Sung-nam explained.

"Tracks? How does it work? Qin Feng asked puzzled.

"Your Majesty, in fact, this thing was first used in the smelter, and the iron ingots smelted were too heavy, even in the factory area, after coming out of the furnace, cooling and forming, and then transporting it to the warehouse, and finally transferring it to various weapons workshops and some other workshops, it was extremely inconvenient and required a lot of manpower. So some workers came up with this method, they cast this kind of rails, paved in the factory, and then built some grooved iron wheel cars, this kind of iron wheels, just can be embedded on the track, so that a car of heavy iron ingots, only one or two people, can be pushed to move in the factory area, greatly saving manpower. ”

"So that's it?" Qin Feng nodded again and again, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the wisdom of the people is infinite, this kind of thing, like if we stay in the capital, we will never be able to think of it." Only by being there and facing the problem can we come up with a solution to the problem. How did you put this thing out there? ”

"Your Majesty, you're still being forced!" Jin Shengnan said with a smile: "To drag the selected ore to the mining area, most of them used to rely on animal power and manpower, but our Daye City has gradually lacked manpower in the past year, and we can only find a way. At that time, the minister could not think of any other solution, so he did so, so there was this railroad track. After the completion of the construction, it has indeed solved a big problem, a few horses can drag more than a dozen mine carts, and its efficiency is much higher than in the past, and it also allows us to solve the urgent need of Daye City. ”

While speaking, there was a clangling sound in the distance, and everyone raised their eyes to look in the direction where the sound came from, only to see several horses running from afar, and behind the horses, dragging more than a dozen minecarts, each minecart was full of ore, and in a blink of an eye, they came to everyone from afar.

Looking at the minecarts passing in front of him, Qin Feng asked with interest: "Golden City Lord, the shape of this cart is a little strange, how can there still be things attached to the iron wheels. ”

"Your Majesty, let's call that a crankshaft." Jin Shengnan explained: "When this car was running, there were actually a lot of accidents, and it was very easy to overturn, and then the craftsmen of Daye City repeatedly experimented, and then there was this rail car with crankshaft, and the accident rate was greatly reduced. ”

Qin Feng looked at the minecart that was gradually moving away, thoughtful.

"Good stuff, it's good stuff!" He muttered.
