Water Margin: From today on, Liangshan is my decision!

Chapter 74: Practicing Internal Strength and Cultivating Hard.

After the system was upgraded, the development of the territory began to turn.

From opening and closing, simple and rude, to intensive farming, it began to change, trying to integrate territorial resources and tap the potential of the existing territory of the territory at a deeper level.

Glancing around, Xiao Chen looked at the machinery factory.

It was decided to start by implementing the institutionalization of territorial machinery.

It is extremely easy to replace a large number of manual assembly lines with mechanical equipment.

After all, mechanical equipment, to put it bluntly, is a more complex and more sophisticated tool.

In essence, it is not much different from the tools of killing knives and guns, hoes and shovels for reclaiming farmland, and hammers for mining, just like the military factories in the previous territories, when manufacturing weapons and equipment, they were almost made of simple tools.

But now, a large number of mechanical equipment such as lathes have been added to it.

Even the use of human power to drive these machines can save a lot of effort and time, and increase production efficiency. Moreover, the effect is extremely obvious.

Machinery and equipment enter the entire industrial chain of territorial industry, which can greatly improve industrial output and production efficiency under the existing industrial scale without increasing a large number of people and sites.

Why not do this kind of thing!?

Not only to do it, but also to promote it with all our might.

According to the current model of the 720 Liangshan Army, whether it is a factory or a farmland, its owners belong to the lord’s mansion. And the master of the lord’s mansion, that is Xiao Chen.

In other words, everything under the Liangshan Army is Xiao Chen’s. In essence, everyone in the Liangshan Army was Xiao Chen’s workers.

He Xiao Chen is the world’s largest capitalist and the largest landowner.

But on the other hand, no one in the Liangshan army noticed this, or even if someone noticed it, it could not be changed, and even the voice could not be made.

Because Liangshanjun simply does not have the soil for those who have ghosts in their hearts. Xiao Chen only needed one kind of person.

That’s labor!

In addition to the labor force, the rest of the people, that is dispensable. None of them are needed!

In a word, if you can mix in the Liangshan army, then mix. If you can’t mix, if you can’t adapt, then get out!

Even if this kind of words, Xiao Chen never said it. But Liang Shanjun has always had this attitude.

Therefore, there were many merchants from the north and south gathered in Liangshan, but almost none actually settled in Liangshan. In this regard, Xiao Chen did not care at all and did not pay attention to it.

For him, the group of merchants from the north and south is only its use value.

Essentially, he was throwing a bone out, any merchant who attracted these hound-like dogs, and went out to help him find what he wanted.

Whoever can find it, he will give the bones to whom.

The Liangshan Army needed raw materials, so no matter which merchant could bring the materials needed by the Liangshan Army, then who earned the money.

Up and down the territory, it was all up to him to decide.

He wanted to fully promote machinery and equipment into the territorial industrial system, and no one stopped him. Not even those who objected!

With an order, all the members of the territory moved and cooperated. The machine shop was set up and a large number of mechanics were recruited.

Then invest a lot of resources to produce machinery and equipment. Produce one batch, replace one batch.

The person in charge of the industry is always watching the operation of the factory after these machines enter the factory. After a little running-in for a while, the output of its factory increased significantly!

After confirming that it had greatly improved industrial production efficiency, Xiao Chen waved his hand and devoted himself to the production of machinery and equipment. Trying to make the industrial production of the territory, there is a simple and primitive era of manual production, into the era of manual machinery.

The head of the Ministry of Industry was ordered to keep an eye on the matter in all its aspects. Xiao Chen’s eyes were set on other industries.

Gunpowder factories were established, workers were trained, and the industrial chain of the gunpowder industry was built, and the Ministry of Trade began to buy raw materials for the production of gunpowder, sulfur, nitrogen, charcoal, etc.

Prepare for the mass production of gunpowder in the future and officially enter the era of thermal weapons.

As you can imagine, when musket artillery appeared. Then gunpowder will become the most important strategic material!

Now reserve a little more, that’s right.

More importantly, now the Great Song Dynasty already has the technology to produce gunpowder and refine artillery. It’s just that the train of thought is not opened, and it is just a matter of kicking the door.

And once the Liangshan army is equipped with muskets and artillery, then how can the Song army not follow suit?! At that time, the secret of gunpowder will also not be hidden.

More importantly, artillery technology is also simple and crude. That is, cast cannons from bronze, and pile up copper materials instantly.

And bronze casting technology, that is all ready-made.

Thousands of years ago, the ancestors were playing with bronze technology.

Once he opened his mind, Da Song used bronze to cast cannons, which was not the slightest difficulty.

This is also the reason why Xiao Chen did not immediately cast the cannon, but waited until the system was upgraded and the musket artillery factory really appeared, and then he was ready to replace the musket artillery on a large scale.

In terms of talent reserves and technical reserves, Liang Shanjun still cannot be compared with the Great Song. In this case, it is most important to maintain the status quo and maintain the existing advantages. And in addition to the gunpowder factory.

Xiao Chen invested a lot of manpower and material resources and began to establish a comprehensive glass industry. While selling glass products to the outside world, he made a lot of money.

On the other hand, binoculars were produced to equip the army under his command. If nothing else, the officers and cavalry in the army, that is one man. Improve industrial production efficiency through machinery and equipment.

Through telescopes, to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

With just a few measures, the comprehensive strength of the territory has been greatly improved. With the implementation of machinery and equipment, more and more factories have entered. The territory’s industrial output is also rising rapidly.

In a place where it is difficult for everyone to reach, the strength of the Liangshan Army is rapidly climbing at an extremely rapid speed. And Liangshan Jun’s hard practice of internal skills and intensive cultivation did not end there.

Instead, it’s just beginning!

Adhering to the principle that easy before difficult.

Xiao Chen began to gradually set his sights on the finance, education, transportation and other industries in the territory. Ongoing and deeper construction.

And at this step, there is no such simple and rough, immediate effect.

Everything has to be slowly accumulated, constantly growing, and finally bursting out of shocking power. Xiao Chen’s first step was to build up the financial industry in the territory.

The financial industry, this is also the fastest industry in the territory to see results.

Because, today’s territory, already has the foundation to build the financial industry.
