His Majesty is a sick beauty

=====================

To be honest, the mine in Yangcheng is not big, and the quality of the iron ore produced is not very good. The ore seam is relatively deep, and it is very difficult to mine.

This was what Su Xun expected a long time ago. If the iron mine in Yangcheng was really good, Meng Chao would not give up Yangcheng so easily.

"However, with the tools developed by the gentlemen in the Doctor and Ge Museum, the difficulty of mining has been greatly reduced."

"Yangcheng Iron Mine is doped with a lot of impurities, but our iron-smelting furnace has a higher temperature, which can directly refine those impurities and purify the molten iron. We can also remove some shallow ore layers that Mengchao regards as waste ores. Although you can’t make armor or spears, you can use those liquid irons directly to make parts in horseshoes and crossbows.”

"At present, the main output of the arsenal is arrows for crossbows, armor-piercing arrows, heavy arrows, and arrows for hand crossbows. The assembly line factory built by the doctor is running well, and the production efficiency is nearly three times higher than that of ordinary factories. With this Based on the estimated speed, it will take about two months to produce enough arrows to support a small-scale conflict.”

Small-scale conflicts, this euphemistic term usually refers to eighteenth-part side attacks.Both parties are very familiar with this kind of war, and the scale of the war is usually not too large, usually limited to one or two small cities.

Su Xun nodded. He knew that the arsenal could produce such output just after its establishment, and it was already the result of many efforts.

"Very good, we can continue to try to expand the size of the arsenal."

Lu Feiming frowned: "Your Majesty, Yangcheng is connected to the Mongolian Dynasty, and the people of the aristocratic families in Yangcheng have just arrived. If you expand the factory rashly, you may covet it."

The reason why the Meng Dynasty was able to let go easily before was because they were indeed wronged, and after Su Xun rebelled against the army, Qu Zhuo spent most of his energy on suppressing the internal public opinion of the Mongolian Dynasty, so he had no time to pay attention to him.

But this does not mean that Qu Zhuo can swallow that breath so easily. An emperor with great ambitions will also be an extremely proud emperor. He will not allow anyone to challenge his authority.

Whether it is to consolidate his majesty as the emperor, or to prevent the enemy of the Yu Dynasty from growing stronger, he will definitely find a way to take back these two cities.

Su Xun had already prepared for this: "I plan to strengthen the walls of Yangcheng and Yicheng, and support Yicheng's sugar and handicraft industries."

He looked at Lu Feiming: "At the same time, the two cities are encouraged to take in refugees. Those who are between the ages of ten and 50, regardless of gender, will be directly allocated five acres of land."

Lu Feiming's expression froze, and he looked at Su Xun. It wasn't until this moment that he finally sketched out the whole picture of the little emperor's conspiracy in his mind.

From the beginning of sugar and wine making, this layout used the high profits of sugar and wine to lure the Mongolian family to plant sugar cane, sugar beet and wheat, forcing the price of food in the Mongolian court to be high.Under the lure of huge profits, the annexation of land by aristocratic families will become more serious, and a large number of Mongolian people will become tenant farmers under their persecution and lose their land.This summer's drought served as a catalyst, exacerbating the process of this transformation.

But even without this severe drought, this is the unavoidable final outcome if the superiors do not stop it.

Then, when a large number of people in the Mongolian Dynasty became tenant farmers and slaves, and the price of food in the Mongolian Dynasty rose, they could hardly survive, but they only needed to turn their heads to see that they were once the same subjects of the Mongolian Dynasty, and now they were taken by Yu Yu. When the people of Yang and Yi who were recruited by the dynasty were able to till the land, would they have any other ideas?

When they heard that the two cities of Yang and Yi had adopted a policy of accepting refugees, and that the government of the Yu Dynasty would guarantee that all eligible refugees could obtain land, they were willing to stay in the Mongolian Dynasty and suffer from hunger every day. Tortured slaves, or are you willing to take two steps and escape to a nearby city to become a farmer with land?

Lu Feiming's mind was shaken. Did he never imagine that such a long-term plan would actually start this spring?How far into the future has His Majesty seen?

Su Xun continued indifferently: "The needs of the common people are actually very simple. A piece of their own land doesn't need much, as long as they can survive. A house of their own doesn't need to be too good, as long as it can shelter from wind and rain."

He spread his hands: "Look, General, we only need to pay so little to get the most precious resource of this era - manpower, why not do it?"

Rao Lu Feiming, who has always been serious, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly after hearing his words: "Your Majesty said so."

What is the most important resource in this era, land?gold?Ironware?No, the most important resource in this era is manpower and population.

He recalled back then, when he received His Majesty's order to attack the Yang and Yi cities, he only thought that His Majesty wanted to use this to take revenge on the Meng Dynasty and settle the rumors, but he did not expect His Majesty's real goal to be here.

He nodded and said: "If it is to accommodate refugees, then Yang and Yier cities are perfect."

The people in these two cities were Mongolian people half a year ago, but after half a year, they can live a stable and peaceful life under the protection of the Yu Dynasty. They can't help but think, half a year ago, everyone was a Mongolian citizen, and they were only separated by a city or two. Why can they have such a life, while they can only become tenant farmers and suffer from hunger?

The only difference between them is that one of them was accepted as a subject of the Yu Dynasty half a year ago.

In fact, it is best for Su Xun to talk to the city lord or master bookkeeper who is currently serving as the city lord of Yang and Yi, but the two cities are waiting to be rebuilt, and there are still various things to deal with, and the officials sent have all Delivered a memorial for not attending this year's annual banquet in person.

And if this matter is to be done, it needs the assistance of Lu Feiming's Black Armor Army, so Su Xun simply told him directly.

"What we have to do, on the one hand, is to prevent the Mongolian government from jumping over the wall to attack the two cities, and on the other hand, to ensure that the people of the two cities can live and work in peace and contentment, so as to attract the people of the Mongolian Dynasty."

Lu Feiming: "I don't understand government affairs, but the first point, as long as my Heijia army is still stationed in the two cities, it is absolutely impossible for the Mongolian army to retake the two cities."

As we all know, the Hei family army in the Yu Dynasty was best at defending the city.

Su Xun nodded approvingly, but then, he couldn't help frowning again.

Naturally, Lu Feiming did not miss the little emperor's subtle movements, but he did not speak, and sat on the chair with his back straight.

In the end, Su Xun couldn't help but speak, his tone was a little weird, a little worried, but also a little expectant: "The general thinks that Gu Shuochao will attack us this winter?"
