Never thought I'd be the savior

Chapter 153 The most serious problem in the industry chain

The entire Heihe area, especially Heihe Town and Heihe New City, have experienced tremendous development in all aspects.

As the core of all this, the development and changes of the Agricultural Tools Department are even greater and more astonishing.

Unknowingly, Li Xuan discovered that the Agricultural Tools Department and its subordinate Tianji Trading Company had more than [-] members in the Heihe area alone.

As for the eating and drinking business and the clothing business that Li Xuan cooperated with Yang Fei and Ma Yuee, as well as the sericulture department that Ma Yuee has now firmly controlled and is completely used by Li Xuan, only all the members in the Heihe area add up. There are more than two thousand people.

This means that Li Xuan has been able to directly lead more than [-] capable, capable and loyal subordinates.

The scale is astonishing!

Because Li Xuan was very willing, he distributed a lot of the huge wealth earned by the agricultural tools department, Tianji store, eating and drinking business, clothing business, and sericulture department to these subordinates, and he paid special attention to the training of these subordinates.

These subordinates, compared to others, are exceptionally elite, with excellent conditions, very excellent.

Among them, the number of people who embarked on the road of martial arts practice and became the subordinates of warriors is very considerable.

This part of the subordinates who became warriors, and basically most of them, have obtained the magical and powerful formation of the eight-door golden lock formation taught by Li Xuan, making them stronger and stronger with each other. tacit agreement.

Among them, some of the most outstanding people have even received the guidance of Li Xuan's military boxing, which is a three-level super-class, and possesses the precious skills of strengthening the body and strengthening the body.

Of course, Li Xuan still didn't let these subordinates know how precious this skill really was.

Even so, these subordinates have deeply felt the miraculousness of the military boxing, which made them stronger, and had a stronger body and a better foundation for martial arts practice.

I also felt Li Xuan's importance, trust, and painstaking efforts towards them.

These already powerful subordinates, while becoming stronger and stronger in martial arts, couldn't help being more loyal to Li Xuan and more grateful.

In such changes, various work tasks and various engineering projects of the Agricultural Tools Department are also being completed at a faster speed and making breakthroughs.

For this reason, the progress of Li Xuan's new work plan has exceeded everyone's imagination.

Even Li Xuan himself did not expect that the new work plan he proposed would be completed so quickly and with great effort.

Although there is still a long way to go before completing all the contents of the new work plan, Li Xuan no longer has any worries.

In this world, in this era, these people he met, these friends, and his subordinates gave Li Xuan enough satisfaction in return, which made Li Xuan extremely gratified and satisfied.

The Agricultural Tools Department has recently been paying close attention to the extremely difficult batch manufacturing technology of steam locomotives. It was amid such changes that it was finally overcome.

Although there is still a long way to go before steam locomotives are put on the assembly line and mass-produced on the assembly line.

But based on the current situation of the Agricultural Tools Department, the mass manufacturing technology of steam locomotives is excellent, powerful and advanced enough.

Meals need to be eaten in one bite, and if you take a big step, you will tear your eggs.

Today, the Agricultural Tools Department mass-produces a large number of non-grade civilian steam locomotives with various functions, various styles, and different models. In all links involved in the entire industrial chain, the manufacturing link is already the best link.

On the contrary, there are many problems in other links in the industrial chain.

Among them, the most obvious and serious problem is that the production of various precious materials used to manufacture steam locomotives in batches, especially steel materials, is seriously insufficient.

No matter how classless and civilian a steam locomotive is, it is a big guy that uses a lot of metal materials, especially steel materials.

Once such big guys are manufactured in large quantities, the demand for various materials, especially steel materials, is simply terrifying.

In this era of the world, although the current Jin Dynasty is already the most prosperous and richest dynasty in the land of China and even in the entire world.

The entire Heihe area, after Li Xuan has been operating for so long with the Agricultural Tools Department as the core, has become more prosperous and richer, and all aspects of knowledge and technology have made great progress and popularized applications.

But for this era, for Heihe, steel materials are still very precious, and the quantity is not enough.

Far from being like later generations, the production of steel was severely oversupplied.

In this era, the most prosperous and wealthy Jin Dynasty, many places were using iron coins made of inferior iron with many impurities even when they did not have enough copper coins.

In order to solve the serious shortage of steel materials, Li Xuan led people to investigate, and then set his sights on Zhouzhi Village.

Zhouzhi Village is located about ten miles northwest of the middle point between Heihe Town and Heihe New Town.

Speaking of which, this location is not too close to Heihe Town or Heihe New City, but not too far away.

What's more, in this village, there are even many mountains from the west to the south of the village. It is a branch of the Qinling Mountains, and the mountains are very dangerous.

In addition, there is a river flowing from this large mountain.

The hydrological conditions of this river are very bad, and floods often occur during heavy rains in summer.

The terrain of this village is quite flat in three directions: north, south, south, east, and west. However, because the river flowing next to the village often suffers from floods, and the mountains stretching from west to south of the village are often infested with ferocious beasts, even mutant species and even alien species, resulting in There are not many fertile land.

However, the conditions of this village are so average, even a little bad. However, when the Heihe area developed rapidly, not only did the population not decrease, but it became more at an alarming rate.

The reason for this is because there is a mine in this village.

The mine in Zhouzhi Village is a high-quality iron-rich ore, accompanied by copper, tin, silver, nickel, aluminum, cobalt, sulfur and other mineral resources.

The villagers of Zhouzhi Village have been using very simple and primitive methods to mine some of the mineral resources here since ancient times, which has a long history.

Today's Taibai Sect has directly controlled the mineral resources of Zhouzhi Village, hired local villagers, transported and arranged a large number of mining slaves, and exploited part of the mineral resources here with greater efforts and more advanced technology.

At the beginning, before Li Xuan crossed over, because he committed a crime, he was about to be sent to the mine as a slave, so he was going to be sent to the Zhouzhi mine here in Zhouzhi Village as a mine slave.

Of course, there are also three, six or nine levels of mining slaves. The leader of the mining slaves can be a supervisor, which is not risky and not too tiring.

With Li Xuan's family background at that time, after all, he was the concubine of the martial arts Li family and an outside disciple of the Taibai Sect. He was not as good as the top, but more than the bottom. After being dispatched to the mine, he was basically a slave and could be a slave Overseer.

It's just that even though Taibaizong has been vigorously exploiting the minerals here, investing a lot of manpower and material resources and other resources, and even building a Zhouzhi mine, the mineral resources produced by this mine are still not satisfactory.

It's not that the mineral resources here are good in quality and rich in variety, but the quantity of minerals is not enough.

The mineral resources in the Zhouzhi mine are very rich, and the quality is very good, and the variety is very rich, but the mining conditions of the minerals are very bad, and almost most of the minerals are located in the mountains or deep underground.
