It was the result of Tang Jing's aggressive acquisitions in the market, and he acquired six rare factory building drawings in one fell swoop.
It can be said to be a great harvest.
The price paid was only 18 level 3 crystal cores and 6,000 gold coins.
certainly.
Looking at the world, Tang Jing is the only one who has such a strong tone and does not take these crystal nuclei and funds seriously.
For any big lord, this is a huge amount of wealth that is difficult to obtain. The factory building drawings in their hands will not be sold, but they can only maintain the operation of one factory at most.
I can't bear any more.
This is why no one buys the factory building drawings in the hands of ordinary lords.
There’s a price but no market!
After obtaining the architectural drawings, Tang Jing immediately spent another 12,000 gold coins to build a mechanical silk reeling factory in the textile area, a camphor pressing plant and a soap factory in the light industrial area, and a sugar factory, soy sauce factory and oil pressing factory.
In the non-staple food processing area.
Reeling is the process of extracting silk from silkworm cocoons.
The mechanical reeling factory is equivalent to using machinery to draw silk, and the efficiency is more than a hundred times that of manual labor. More importantly, with the platform of the reeling factory, you can buy cocoons from the mall.
I believe that silk products will appear in Chang'an soon.
Camphor is a commonly used medicinal material.
When the sugar factory, soy sauce factory and other factories are all completed and put into operation, plus the planned salt farm, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and other condiments, there will be only one tea factory left.
Chang'an's non-staple food processing industry is initially on the right track.
The most important thing is that after these six factories are completed and put into operation, they will create at least 20,000 new jobs in Chang'an City, which will greatly alleviate the "employment difficulty" problem in Chang'an City.
It can be said that it achieves multiple things with one stone.
………
Just as he finished his work, Wang Er, the soldier on duty outside the door, came to report.
"Sir, the dwarf Bagg wants to see you."
After the Guards Battalion was renamed the Guards Battalion, it took over the defense of the inner city, with Xu Chu taking command. Tu Li, a personal soldier, was promoted to the deputy battalion commander of the Guards Battalion, leading a team of guards specifically responsible for the defense of the Lord's Mansion.
Wang Er, a personal soldier, became the closest guard to Tang Jing.
"Oh? Invite him in."
Leaning slightly, the dwarf Bag followed Wang Er and entered the study.
"grown ups!"
"What's the matter?" Tang Jing did not get up.
"I heard that your Excellency just appointed Mia as the Chief of the Department of Commerce?" Bage's tone was a little strange.
"That's right."
Tang Jing nodded and said with a smile: "Could it be that you also want to find an official position?"
"No no no!"
Bage waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "We dwarves are all rough and can't do this."
Quite modest.
At least in Tang Jing's perception, Bage was by no means a person without a city.
"Then what are you...?"
Tang Jing had a trace of inquiry in his eyes.
"Ahem, it's like this. Your Excellency, you also know that although I am entrusted by Your Excellency to take charge of the affairs of the Ordnance Institute, I am often away from the territory. It is inevitable that I am somewhat incompetent."
Bag first made some self-criticism, then changed the topic and said, "Before coming back this time, I also mentioned this matter to the tribe. The tribe expressed its willingness to arrange for another senior blacksmith to replace me."
"I just don't know what you mean, sir."
"Okay, welcome!"
Tang Jing had a smile on his face, but his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Bagg's words are estimated to be 50% true and 50% false. He must have learned that Mia was in a high position in Chang'an and was worried that the relationship between the elves and Chang'an would surpass that of the dwarves.
Only then did he rush to remedy the situation.
Bage, the senior blacksmith, has been absent from the Ordnance Factory for a long time, which has indeed had a considerable impact on the Ordnance Factory. As a result, the output of armor, shields, crossbows and other equipment that are difficult to forge has been delayed.
Especially the bed crossbow.
Whether facing an army of orcs or an army of sea tribes, Fuzi Crossbow always performed extraordinary feats.
Production capacity is extremely limited.
In addition to the last war, most of the crossbows were destroyed by octopus monsters and were in urgent need of repair.
Even more so, a senior blacksmith is required to take charge.
"The forging level of dwarf blacksmiths is well-known in the mainland. Of course I hope that more and more dwarf blacksmiths, especially senior blacksmiths, will join the Ordnance Institute." Tang Jing seemed to have something in his words.
Since Bage wanted to show his merit, he naturally didn't mind making a fortune.
"Your Majesty, I will tell the tribe leader what you want, and I will also personally persuade the tribe to arrange for more dwarf blacksmiths to join the armory." Bagg also said it clearly.
"I'm looking forward to it!"
Tang Jing also laughed. Who said dwarves are rough?
………
After Bage left, Tang Jing finally calmed down.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark.
After a few casual dinners, Tang Jing returned to the study, facing the candlelight, picked up a copy of "The Art of War" he was reading, and began to study it carefully.
In addition to "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, there are also many classics such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "Historical Records" in the study.
He had read them all.
In many places, there are reading notes written by Tang Jing.
It can be seen that when no one knew it, in private, he had been studying hard, trying to absorb the wisdom of the ancients, as well as the methods of employing people and governing politics from these classics.
otherwise.
Along with the rapid expansion of the territory, there are more and more talents.
How should Tang Jing control it?
He can neither show timidity in front of his subordinates, nor can he be ignored by those below him.
Then all you can do is read more.
Then combine what you learned in the book with the actual situation faced by the territory, and at the same time, ask Mr. Wu, Yue Fei and others for advice, practice in learning, and make progress in practice.
Make sure not to be abandoned by the tide of the times.
After reading until twelve o'clock in the night, two candles were changed, and then Tang Jing fell asleep.
He didn't go back to the bedroom either.
Behind the study screen was a wooden couch for him to take a lunch break, where he slept directly with his clothes on.
………
Denton Plains, Orc Tribe.
Just when Tang Jing was planning a new chapter for the development of Chang'an, the orcs far away in Denton Plains had also learned the news that the Hai Clan had sent troops to attack Chang'an and returned with a huge defeat.
Orcs are very well informed.
Although the orc camps around Chang'an have been wiped out, wild wolves, wild boars, foxes and other wild beasts are still the natural eyes and ears of the orcs.
I can't even clean it up even if I want to.
"Chief, Chang'an's strength is much stronger than we expected before." Goat Military Advisor was worried, and he no longer had the confidence he had before.
The orcs have heard a little bit about the strength of Naga, Kraken and other sea tribes.
Definitely a formidable enemy.
But it was really shocking that such a large sea army was defeated by Chang'an in one fell swoop.
"It's very strong."
Kahn, the leader of the orc tribe, could not help but look solemn, and began to really take Chang'an as an opponent seriously.
"Then, our attack plan, is it...?"
Military Advisor Goat was a bit defensive and did not recommend continuing to send troops to Chang'an to deal with this tough issue.
"No!"
Kahn shook his head, "The stronger Chang'an is, the less we can wait. In just a short time, Chang'an's strength has more than doubled. Just imagine, given time, how strong Chang'an will be?"
"By then, will there be room for us orcs to survive on the Denton Plains?"
"this…"
The Goat Military Advisor was speechless for a moment, and this was also true.
"So, what we can do now is to take advantage of the fact that Chang'an is not yet so powerful that it is completely invincible, strike first, concentrate all our forces, launch a fatal blow to Chang'an, and destroy it in one battle."
Kahn's eyes are sharp and domineering.
"The troops we are mobilizing now are barely enough."
The goat strategist is very pragmatic.
After being harassed by the Tiger Brigade, the orc tribe accelerated the pace of war mobilization. To date, nearly 20,000 orcs, including gnolls and orcs, have been mobilized.
Although it is a little stronger than the Hai Clan army, its strength is also very limited.
"According to the intelligence report, when the Hai Clan army attacked, there were even two troops under Chang'an who were still fighting outside. It was only today that they returned to Chang'an to rest." Goat Military Advisor reminded.
That is to say.
By then, the situation faced by the orc army will be even more dangerous than that of the Sea Tribe.
How to fight this?
"If we don't have enough troops, we need to mobilize on a larger scale and have a strong relationship with the orc tribe further away. The existence of Chang'an has seriously threatened the survival of our orc clan."
Kahn is determined.
"Also, the Hai Clan suffered a defeat in Chang'an, don't they want to take the opportunity to take revenge?"
"What does the leader mean by forming an alliance with the Sea Tribe?" Goat Military Advisor also lit up.
"Isn't it possible?"
Kahn's eyes were sharp, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Even if we can't really form an alliance, as long as we both agree to jointly raise troops to attack Chang'an, we can always do it, right?"
"Absolutely!"
After being prompted by Kahn, the Goat Strategist also regained his confidence.
