The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 232 Sudden Release (Part [-])
Moving the firearms workshop to the resident is also an option.

However, this is easier said than done.

Technology and labor are easy to solve, but the key is the supply of raw materials, which is a huge obstacle.

The stage of social development there is still very backward, basically in the age of fishing and hunting, and the level of the farming society has not even been reached.There is no basic industrial system and relatively developed commercial system at all.

All kinds of raw materials for firearms, even if they have money, can hardly be purchased locally.If you purchase from outside, you will return to the vicious circle of long-distance transportation.

It's a matter of cost and distance.

What's more, even if he built a firearms workshop somewhere regardless of the cost, because of the restraint of General Ning Guta, he only needs to order himself to change defenses, and the firearms workshop built with huge manpower and material resources will immediately lose its due effect.

This situation is almost destined to happen.

This judgment was made because Jia Min had confirmed one thing.It was a conspiracy against him to call his own government corps to Ningguta this time.

He was tricked by someone.

When I arrived at Ninggu Pagoda, I left the imperial capital, the stage where I made my fortune, and the resources I had here were almost useless.

The so-called mountains are high and the emperor is far away. When they get there, they can only be manipulated by others.Even if the locals don't run on themselves, as long as they put themselves there and don't recruit themselves back, they can only fend for themselves there, and they will not pose any threat to others.

The purpose of calculating him is nothing more than the following.

One is to take revenge on him, the other is to cut off his rise in official career, the third is to use this to attack the Jia family, and the fourth is to attack together with the historians, Feng family, Chen family and Wei family.

Jia Min, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan, Shi Song, Shi Liu, and the children of each family in the military regiment have become the most promising figures among the younger generations of each family.

Especially Jia Min, who is the symbol of Jia's ZTE.Squeezing out the talents of these families will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to each family.

Since this kind of method can be used in the imperial capital, after arriving at Ningguta, it is a piece of cake to ask General Ningguta or others to put a magic spell on them.

Cheng Shilang said that the emperor also knew about the transfer of Jia Min to Ninggu Pagoda.Jia Min had no doubts about this.No matter how courageous the Ministry of War is, it would not dare to falsely convey the emperor's will on this matter.

The Jia family and the Jia family group also have roots in the imperial capital, and this matter is easy to find out.Therefore, they dare not do anything about this matter.

The reason why the emperor was informed of this matter was to prevent the Jia family from finding the emperor and asking the emperor to change this decision.

As for how they exerted their influence and let the emperor know and agree to this decision, whether they know it now or not is meaningless.

It is an established fact that Jia Min is going to Ninggu Pagoda, which cannot be changed.What he needs to consider now is what to do after he goes there?
There is still one and a half months before departure, and if the arrangements are made properly, there are still many things that can be done.

On the Jia's side, he can make some institutional arrangements before leaving.

It seems that the originally planned transformation of the butler class can only be stopped temporarily.

Fortunately, the basic framework and new power structure have been established. If there are no major events, the normal operation of the Jia Mansion should not cause any major problems.

The technical training hosted by Fang Xiucai is currently under the banner of Jia Family Studies, and it can continue.Not only to carry out, but also to scale up.

In the future, when I come to Ninggu Pagoda, I will need a lot of money. Without continuous financial support, it will be very difficult to do things there.

The emperor has decreed that the experiment of Hanyu Pinyin will be conducted by Master Ji. Under this general environment, there should be no problem with the enlightenment education of Hanyu Pinyin in Liujiazhuang and Jiafu Amateur Schools.

On the Fubingtuan's side, they trained according to the original plan.As for the equipment and further training, it will only be carried out after arriving at the station in the future.

The firearms workshop must be done. After coming to Ninggu Pagoda, this is the foundation of my own survival, and it is also responsible for the more than 1300 soldiers under my command.It is very likely, and it is also an important support for making contributions there in the future.

In terms of personal life, Ping'er, Qingwen, Magpie, and Thrush must follow. Nan'er, Fenghua, and Xueyue cannot leave, and Ning'er is training in Zhili, so she cannot leave either.

As for Miaoyu's problem, I can only ask her to stay here for now.Fortunately, she got a poetry club and publications for her, so she can stay in Jia's mansion justifiably in the future, and her safety can still be guaranteed.

But Qing's side is now in power in the East Mansion, and Jia Zhen's threat to her has been completely removed.With Keqing's intelligence, she will live a good life.We have to wait until the future to talk about the future with her.

I am only 15 years old now, and I have a long time to come, so I can afford to wait.

As for Baochai, she herself is smart enough, her ideas are upright, she is actually related to the family, and has a mother and brother, so I don't need to worry about it.

As for our marriage?Alas, I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns.

Originally, Aunt Xue was interested, but now that I have suddenly arrived at Ninggu Tower, the future has become uncertain. Will she change her mind?
As for Shi Xiangyun?It is estimated that his family will have to reconsider.This is not bad, I don't have any feelings for Shi Xiangyun, but it can save a lot of trouble.

All that remains is to learn as much as possible about the local situation in Ningguta.

At the same time, a decision must be made regarding the firearms workshop.

The biggest bottleneck of the firearms workshop is the supply of raw materials. If this problem is solved, there will be almost no obstacles.

Dai Zhi is an expert, and he has stayed in Liaodong, so he is well-informed. Jia Min believes that Dai Zhi will provide him with some valuable advice.

After thinking about it, Jia Min returned to the house.

Seeing Jia Min come back, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan knew that he had already made up his mind, so they waited for him to speak.

"This matter is already an established fact, and it is useless to complain now. Therefore, from now on, we must be ready to go."

Jia Min glanced at a few people and continued talking.

"The current training is carried out according to the original plan. The winter field survival training needs to increase the training volume and time. The firearms training plan is cancelled, and we will wait until we are stationed. The training of knife skills and riding and shooting is going on normally."

"From tomorrow, Ruolan will go to the Ministry of War, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Households, and Ministry of Punishment to collect all materials about Ninggu Pagoda, including military affairs, household registration, official administration, exile, etc. The more detailed the better."

"Tonight, the children of each mansion will go home on vacation, explain the situation to the family, and prepare the family to avoid rumors. My own personal affairs must be arranged as soon as possible, so that the departure date cannot be delayed. The first month of next year Eighteenth, the troops depart on time."

"Although this matter seems to be a bad thing, how can we know that it is not a blessing if we lose our fortune? The world is vast, and there is a lot to do. Maybe we will establish a great achievement when we get there, and we don't know."

After Jia Min finished explaining, he arrived at Xiawazi.He wanted to study the firearms workshop with Dai Zhi.

At present, this matter has become a starting point.After solving this problem, Jia Min can start other plans.

After Jia Min introduced the situation, Dai Zhi pondered for a while and then spoke.

"Officer Min, I have stayed in Liaodong. Although I have never been to Ninggu Pagoda, I have dealt with the people there."

"Tell me."

"Ninguta is not as scary as the rumors outside. To say it's scary, it's mainly for exiled people. They are prisoners and slaves, so it's hard to be there. Even if it's bitter, it's not necessarily worse than others. Prisoners suffer. Prisoners and servants are the same everywhere.”

"It's colder there, but it doesn't necessarily freeze people to death. On the contrary, the land is sparsely populated, the products are abundant, and the land is vast and abundant. Although it is not as prosperous as in the pass, it is much easier to survive."

"Although commerce is not as developed as other places, there are still some. In fact, as long as there are people, as long as there are profitable places, there are always footprints of businessmen."

"Regarding the raw materials of firearms, the cost may be a little more expensive than here, but it will not be unbearable."

"Oh? Really? Tell me in detail?"

"Some things can be obtained locally, and some things can be bought in Korea."

"Gory?"

"Yes, Koryo is an important transit point on the commercial road between my country, Ross, and Fusang. I have been there before. Some of the things I did experiments at home in Liaodong were bought from there. The price is not much more expensive than Guanli. It’s also much closer than Guanli.”

"As for the commercial route, there is no need to worry. The land route is naturally far away, and the price is much more expensive, but you can take the water route."

"Can you still walk by water?"

"Where there are my sailors, can there be no waterways? The Songhua River, Wusuli River, Heilongjiang, and Vladivostok are all navigable. Even the old Ningguta has a wave river. Today's Ningguta General's Mansion, Ula, Jilin also has the Songhua River. As far as Bukui, there is also the Songhua River.”

"Yes, the cost of the waterway will be much lower, and the speed will be much faster. How could I forget about this matter. In this way, the most important problem will be solved."

"It's just that I don't know where the station is now. If I know, I can make plans early."

"Mr. Dai, from now on, make a plan to move out. If you need it here, you will dismantle it and ship it. Even if you spend a little more money, it is worth it."

"As for the craftsmen, you should confirm with Liu Cheng. If not enough, ask Fang Xiucai to choose some. If it doesn't work, go to the station and choose some training from the local area. However, the master will be brought from here. As for money, don't worry about it, sir."

Jia Min immediately decided that the workshop here in Xiawazi would stop producing military products immediately.Dai Zhi and Liu Cheng led the team, preparing to go to Ninggu Tower.Liu Tieshan and Wu Hongmei were left behind to produce civilian products here.

This arrangement is not only to retain the license of the firearms workshop, but also to make money through the production of civilian products.

The remaining key question is the future residence after Ninggu Tower.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the garrison is just a place to garrison troops, but for Jia Min, the garrison has more functions.

If this problem is solved, it will be of great significance to Jia Min's government corps.
