"Chunlu City is in danger of being cut off." Gong Yelei reminded Yudi.
Recently, Ding Kui has been infiltrating towards the junction of Juncheng and Chunlu City, directly threatening the road between the two cities. Moreover, there are a large number of cavalry in Baiqiu Town, and his own scouts cannot get close. Yu Di dare not organize troops to sneak attack Ding Kui's troops.
.
"Then let them cut off. It is best to surround and attack Chunlu City. The navy will not be lost in Chunlu City. The more enemy troops are contained on the southern front, the safer the northern front will be. Therefore, I only leave two troops in Chunlu City.
Thousands of troops are meant to attract enemy troops to besiege, and now it seems that Ding Kui has taken the bait." Yudi had his own ideas.
Shaodian Kingdom may dispatch more troops to Nanqiu County at any time. Due to the harassment of Meng Kingdom, our country cannot send additional reinforcements to Yudi. At least there are no water routes, and the land route does not know when it will be opened. He wants to
Make good use of every force at hand.
"It turns out that your Excellency has already made a plan, so will the enemy attack the ferry?" Gong Yelei was always worried about the Shaodian Army who penetrated deeply into the county.
"Let them go. How many enemy troops can there be in Juyang City? Even if the ferry falls, we can recapture it at any time with the help of the navy. How many enemy troops can be left to garrison? Now we have to consider how to sneak attack the boundary city."
"Sneak attack on the boundary city? There are too many enemy troops under the detailed city. How can the Northern Third Army have the spare capacity to sneak attack on the boundary city? I estimate that there are at least 30,000 defenders in the boundary city." Gong Yelei was startled by Yudi's idea.
"The Third Northern Army Corps is insufficient in strength, and the Fourth Northern Army Corps can provide support. The key lies in how to defeat the border city defenders. The staff should study it. We cannot be passively beaten all the time." Yudi wanted to get rid of the passive situation.
Ding Kui was not very happy about taking the initiative. After struggling for several days, he failed to eliminate many enemy troops, and there were always people nagging in his ears.
"Didn't you say how dangerous the front line is? I haven't seen an organized enemy for several days." Lu Ying looked disappointed.
"Sister Lu Ying, you should have come a few days earlier. We have encountered many enemies." Ding Fen saw Lu Ying, and the two of them were often together.
"It may be that our apples have arrived. Ji Kou was so frightened that they trembled and hid in the stronghold and did not dare to come out." Ding Kui didn't know how to explain to Lu Ying.
"Hahaha! There is a spy. How did the enemy know that I am coming? Is it you? Xiaohua." Lu Ying said and reached out to scratch Ding Fen, and the two girls played together.
Ding Kui looked helplessly at the two people who ruined the atmosphere, shook his head and ordered: "Return to Baiqiu Town."
"My lord, don't be impatient. Our army will become stronger in the future. The enemies that cannot be defeated now will definitely be defeated in the future. We cannot go against the trend with our troops," Fei Ze advised.
"It seems that Juyang City cannot resume trade in a short period of time. How about changing its main business to production?" Ding Kui gave up the idea of a quick victory.
"Production? Do you mean military industry?"
"Yes, the people of Nanqiu County are still displaced. It is also a big burden for neighboring counties to accommodate them. Hengfu City can accommodate them and organize their production. I have many products that can be put into mass production, such as wall calendars and low-end crossbows.
Mahjong, barbells, magazines, etc., as long as the assembly lines are broken down, the industrial products of Hengfu City can feed the entire territory." Ding Kui had a clear idea.
"I think your idea is feasible. The circulation of raw materials, personnel, and goods is no longer a problem. We can leave the organization of production to Liu Yu, but you have to personally take care of the market." Fei Ze admired Ding Kui a little, and immediately started talking about the military aspect.
Jumping to the territorial economy, the two are still related to a certain extent.
"Okay, you write a family letter according to my wishes, and I will ask Lu Ying to take it to Hengfu City and tell Luan'er to manage the territory well."
Ding Kui originally hoped to drive away his own army as soon as possible, quickly restore the economy of Nanqiu County, and make his base area prosperous as soon as possible. Regardless of whether he wanted to participate in domestic battles in the future, strengthening himself was what he had to do at all times.
"Why do you want me to go? You want to get rid of me again!" Lu Ying heard his name.
Ding Kui did not avoid his own soldiers when discussing with Fei Ze.
"That's rude! You're already here and you're not going to see your sister-in-law? You're not allowed to stay in Hengfu City for a long time. You'll come back right after sending the letter. By the way, did you prepare a meeting gift for Jingjing? How about I help you arrange it."
"Oh! As for the meeting gift, I really haven't prepared it yet. You don't need to arrange it. I can't embarrass the Lu family. I will find a way myself."
After all, she was a noble lady. Lu Ying came out to practice and had a lot of belongings with her. It would not be difficult for her to give a gift to the child.
Shao Dianluan and Long Yan were very happy to see Lu Ying sending a letter home. Teacher Ding Kui's daughter was just like their biological sister, and they received a warm reception.
"Don't leave in a hurry. You came all the way from the capital and stayed at home for a few more days. If you say I force you to stay, will he dare to punish you?" Shao Dianluan said and refused to let Lu Ying go.
"The master asked you to deliver the letter, knowing that we will definitely keep you. If he doesn't treat you well as a guest, how can we do the same to him? Don't say anything. The wife of the family is the master now, and her words are the master's words." Long Yan
Follow and persuade Lu Ying.
"Oh, I'm sorry for you being like this! Can you let me give Jingjing a hug?" Lu Ying half-heartedly refused and did not mention returning to the military camp.
"Long Yan, please accompany sister Lu Ying first, while I discuss with Mr. Qian and Mayor Liu the matter that my husband has told me." Shao Dianluan read the family letter and knew that what Ding Kui requested was important.
"The low-end crossbow has been developed. I will send someone to send a few samples to the young master later. He can produce the sample after he orders it. For the other items, I have to ask Mayor Liu to arrange proofing." Qian Bu has already made several samples.
crossbow.
He is the person who has studied crossbows the most. Now he is more familiar with crossbows than Ding Kui. He can already be called the master of crossbow making in this world. There are no technical difficulties in developing low-end crossbows. The most important thing is to make irreversible connections where the components are connected.
Inlay, try to make it more difficult for others to imitate.
Liu Yu, who had just rushed back from Juyang City, nodded and said: "My subordinates will make arrangements immediately. Fortunately, a piece of open space has been reserved in Hengfu City, which is specially designated for new workshops and factories. A cordon can be set up around the perimeter to prevent the leakage of confidential technology.
In addition, my subordinates feel that we should give priority to raw materials that are in stock in the city, or ask those trading houses that have stayed in the city so far. They have been working together with us, so it is best to give them a share of the pie."
He can't make his own decisions on this kind of thing, he needs Ding Kui and his wife to make the decision.
"Would you like a share of the pie?" Shao Dianluan asked Qian Bu with his eyes.
"Mayor Liu's suggestion is prudent. Hengfu City is located in a remote area. In some matters, it would be half the result with half the effort to involve foreign commercial banks. I think it is suitable for the long-term development of the territory." Qian Bu agreed with Liu Yu.
"Mayor Liu, please let go. Later, I will ask Zhong Yu to give you a list. The list is all unreliable people. As long as you don't have contact with them." Shao Dianluan supported Liu Yu and set restrictions at the same time, and he did it.
Give both grace and power.
Qian Bu and Liu Yu both believed that this was what the wife of a housewife should look like.
"Calendars and magazines have printing and dyeing processes. The master once emphasized that such processes would pollute water sources and needed to be selected in a specific place. My subordinates believed that they could not be arranged in Hengfu City, and it was best to choose a place close to the Tongyuan River," Liu Yu recalled.
Ding Kui’s advice.
"Now Tongyuanjiang River is not *complete, right? Close to Tongyuanjiang River and close to Hengfu City is Yeliu Town. Can we avoid sneak attacks by our country's navy there?" Shao Dianluan couldn't think of a better place.
"You can send troops to protect and carry out militarized production, and don't assign jobs to the old, weak, women and children." Qian Bu has experience in organizing militarized production. The Jinzhu Crossbow production factory is similar to a military camp, with strict militarized management.
"Thank you, Mr. Qian, for your suggestion. Let's arrange it this way for the time being."
…
The transformation of industrialization was of great significance to the territory. Shao Dianluan, who knew nothing about it, could also see that she could clearly distinguish what could make money. She was very serious when setting product prices. From the quantitative results, she could see the ability of industrial production to attract money.
"Any factory is equivalent to the income of a city. If Juyang City and Hengfu City were both turned into factories, wouldn't it be as rich as a country?" Shao Dianluan vaguely understood how important that letter from home was.
"Factories are not unlimited. There must be a large enough market to digest the products. Otherwise, the things produced by the factory will be wasted. Not only will we not make money, we will also lose money. Theoretically, if our products can be sold to people across the country, then
The output value of the factory is indeed as rich as any country." Liu Yu had studied Ding Kui's industrialization ideas.
"It's actually very difficult to do. For example, how much does it cost to send a wall calendar from here to Haishan Prefecture? People in Haishan Prefecture definitely can't afford it, so we don't need to produce that share. The only place where we can really make money is in the south.
In Maozhou." He continued to explain to Shaodian Luan.
"Oh, what a pity!" Shaodianluan is not a money-grubbing person. It doesn't matter if she earns less, as long as she doesn't have to worry about her family's expenses.
"Tomorrow, the territory's income will increase significantly, and I can build a new palace in Juyang City for my wife."
Because the lord's mansion in Juyang City had been lived in by people from his own country, Shao Dianluan found it dirty. Liu Yu discussed with Qian Bu and planned to build a new lord's mansion. Qian Bu calculated the profit of low-end crossbows and just sold them to Zhushan City.
Build a palace.
"That's very good. I'm quite used to living here. We can build it slowly in Juyang City. When we have money, we can build it better. I'm not in a hurry."
Shaodian Luan occasionally missed the life in the capital, and did not shy away from the people below. The news naturally reached Qian Bu's ears. Qian Bu felt that the mistress should not be allowed to live too frugally, and that if she had money, she should be worthy of growing up.
The identity of the princess.
"Speaking of reconstruction, I have a suggestion. Most of the villages and towns in Juyang City need to be rebuilt. Previously, my master requested that the territory popularize children's education. I think that we should take advantage of the reconstruction opportunity to unify the kindergartens in each town, and the expenses will be paid by the lord's palace."
Liu Yu could have accomplished this before the war, but when his own people arrived, everything was disrupted.
Shao Dianluan immediately thought of Jingjing, so he said: "If you don't want the lord's mansion to allocate money, just build a children's hall in the name of Jiang Jing, the lord's eldest daughter. Ask me for the money. Mr. Liu will teach Jingjing in the children's hall in the future."
