The longer Huang An stayed in Feng'an City, the more he felt the deformity and abnormality of this world.
From common sense and logic, military technology is always one step ahead of civilian technology.
However, according to Huang An's observation of the world, in the Youzhou Firearms Department, the craftsmen who make muskets still use the most primitive manual methods.
Huang An has every reason to believe that the technology tree here in Ming Dynasty has not been lit yet.
The existence of warriors has caused the technology of this world to enter a deformed and invisible path.
Not well known or valued.
Similarly, the existence of warriors also conceals the huge and unrivaled power of industrialization.
Warriors rely too much on money, precious medicines and other material conditions.
In this world, these substances are basically naturally cultivated.
In other words, the warriors of the Ming Dynasty did not know that there was a very clear way to greatly speed up the growth cycle of herbs and increase the yield of herbs.
It can also increase the production of silver and even gold.
This method is industrialization.
From an industrial perspective, warriors can be mass-produced.
Because industrialization can, under limited conditions, provide more material foundations that warriors need to practice martial arts.
Industrialization utilizes the source of all human material wealth—land—with higher efficiency!
The vast land and rich material foundation are Huang An's confidence in mass-producing warriors.
This was also the reason Huang An chose to use Feng'an City as his base of power.
This place may be the lowest place in the entire Ming Empire.
There are only two roads leading in and out of the county.
Surrounded by mountains on both sides, although there are mountains and hills outside the city, there is not much arable land.
Although the water and soil conditions are not the fertile and rich ideal of southern China, they are actually pretty good.
The vast land nurtured hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty.
But it also reduces their enthusiasm for improving land use efficiency.
If they can find more and larger land, they will not think about improving the fertility of the land and increasing land utilization.
This is just like Africa back home. The good natural environment has led to the development of African civilization and has long been at the bottom of the world's mainstream.
Rich natural resources and soil and water conditions are like a delicious but cursed cake.
Africans paid a heavy price for this.
In the same way, the people of Ming Dynasty also fell into such a terrible curse in terms of farming technology.
Their utilization of land is extremely impressive.
The number of people directly involved in the five engineering teams reached 15,000.
Those indirectly involved may exceed 100,000 people.
Five engineering teams, with such a large scale, can directly and indirectly create wealth that will benefit the people of Feng'an City.
Wealth will spread autonomously throughout Feng'an City during the engineering team's mission.
This is the same as my hometown's emphasis on attracting companies to invest locally, establish companies, and increase local employment rates.
There are already many aspects that one job position can affect.
What Huang An has to do is to use this method to make the people in the city accept his good intentions and recognize him.
People's hearts and minds are always the most important.
Huang An kept talking with Senior Sister Zhao and Luo Feiyao until seven o'clock in the evening.
Afterwards, I talked with the heads of ten engineering teams for half the night.
It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the evening, after he finished practicing martial arts, that he chose to wash up and go to bed.
Early the next morning, everyone dispersed in twos and threes, each performing his duties.
Zhao Lu and others, the leaders of the engineering team, took their men and Huang An's orders and ran directly to the treasury to find Yan Long, who managed the treasury and acted as the general accountant, to get the money.
The engineering team, as the name suggests, is used to do work.
Does this guy have something to do?
Is it necessary to have an iron pot for cooking?
Water tanks, bullock carts, livestock, cages and other necessary sundries should also be provided.
The silver in the Li family's treasury was like running water, flowing out and into the hands of various small traders and craftsmen's shops in the city.
If those who passed away in the Li family knew about it under the spring, they would have to live in anger.
After working hard to accumulate wealth for several generations, it finally returned to the hands of those mud-legged people in this way.
The cycle of heaven is really terrifying.
Zhao Lu and the others are busy. Huang An, the "chief engineer", will naturally not be idle.
He took Chen Yu and others on horseback to the outside of the city and went straight to the five farms that originally belonged to the Li family.
In the past few days, the five farms have been under the control of the team led by Zhang Shi and Yao Liang.
They maintained the basic order in the farm and uncovered all the black sheep in the farm that were not members of the Li family.
The main talkers and top leaders in five of the farms are all core members of the Li family.
Yesterday morning, he was escorted to the square and his head was beheaded.
The rest of the people are not very good either.
They are all low-level people like Ma Zai's younger brothers who work for the tiger. Their viciousness is even worse than that of the Li family.
These people are now being imprisoned in the largest farm.
This farm is called Dahe Village.
Huang An's trip was, on the one hand, for settlement and inspection, and on the other hand, he also planned to personally deal with these low-level black sheep.
However, after arriving at Dahe Village, Huang An did not meet Zhang Shi and Yao Liang first. Instead, he summoned Liu Long, Liu Hai and Chen Yu.
The task assigned before the public trial was that Huang An sent three people to keep an eye on all the actions of Zhang Shi and Yao Liang's team, and the three were responsible for supervision.
At this time, the three of them were summoned, and Huang An learned about them in detail.
The result was quite satisfactory and did not exceed his expectations.
Under the generous reward of money, as well as the fake power of the fox and the threat of the tiger, with the help of Luo Feiyao's identity, the team outside the city obeyed the rules.
Although there are some small problems, they are not major problems.
"Brother, a total of 356 people have been arrested. All of them are subordinates who rely on the Li family and are domineering. They are all villains."
While Zhang Shi was speaking, he also handed over a thin roster.
"Brother, these people are very timid. When they heard that their master had been beheaded, they cried in fear. Haha!"
Yao Liang seemed to have remembered something funny, and there was a look of ridicule and contempt on his face at this moment.
Huang An also laughed when he heard this.
He had already anticipated this situation.
When the core members of the Li family were killed two days ago, wasn't this the reaction of the stubborn servants of the Li family?
In Huang An's view, these low-level sinners are all maggots.
They are no longer people in the traditional sense.
It's not worth the extra effort.
Therefore, Huang An directly turned his attention to Liu Long and Liu Hai.
With a solemn look on his face, he gave the order directly.
"According to our rules in Xialin Village, these people will be dealt with. Those who should be killed will be killed, and those who should be added to the engineering team will be added to the engineering team."
"yes, Sir!"
The two of them responded, and when Huang An urged them, they turned around and left.
Huang An's moral bottom line is actually relatively low.
But no matter what, there are always people who refresh his moral bottom line again and again.
In order to stop himself from feeling uncomfortable and to pursue physical and mental comfort, Huang An could only borrow the heads on their necks.
