The couple can't speak too clearly in front of Li Jiangshan.

What Li Lizhi does now is to control the economy of Guanzhong.

In the current situation of the imperfect economic construction of the Tang Dynasty, if you master the economic lifeline of the Tang Dynasty, you can force Li Shimin to submit. What is inseparable from the world's livelihood is food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Jingyang needs the strength to protect itself.

Although doing this is a bit heartbroken.

But Jingyang needs such strength.

Need strength that can compete with imperial power.

Back in his study, Li Zheng opened a drawing, which was the drawing of the medieval smoothbore cannon.

It's a bit like the Fran machine cannon from the Ming Dynasty.

Opening a processing plant in Jingyang is not just for casting boilers.

In this backward era, whoever masters high-end hardware technology first will have the initiative to enter the industrial era.

At dawn, Li Zheng called Yan Liben and planned to build an industrial area north of Jingyang.

Several people came to the horse circle, and Li Yifu spread out a huge map.

This is the layout diagram of the entire Jingyang. From this, you can see the planting area, the distribution of fields, residential areas, workshop areas, and breeding areas. The largest area is left for the expansion of Jingyang Academy.

Looking at the huge map in front of him, Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "I want to build the breeding area to the south of the village, and then expand the entire breeding area again."

Yan Liben looked at the map and thought for a while and said, "It is not impossible to have a farm in the lower reaches of the Jingyang River."

Li Zheng pointed to a vacant land on the north and said, "I want to set up an industrial area here, where the blacksmith workshop and cast iron workshop are placed, and then the entire workshop area is moved over."

As Li Zheng said, Yan Liben looked very serious. This was a big project. Not to mention how long it took to build an industrial area, just moving the entire workshop area will not be completed in a short while.

Yan Liben whispered: "If you really follow the Chang'an Order's method, if you do this, the land you have in Jingyang is still not enough."

Li Zheng nodded slightly, "It does not seem enough now, so the industrial zone in Jingyang is just a temporary solution, mainly to master technology, specialize in technology, and students in the academy master geometry. This is a good foundation for us to master hardware technology."

Yan Liben said in confusion, "A temporary solution, does Chang'an Order have other plans?"

Li Zheng smiled and said, "The thousands of hectares of land in Tubo are still in my hands. Now Tubo cannot afford money in a short period of time. To redeem his own land, can he take out five million chunks so easily?"

Seeing that Yan Liben was still confused, Li Zheng explained: "In the future, I want to relocate a larger industrial zone to the northwest and build a larger industrial zone in the Tubo area, so that the people of the Western Regions can work for us every day."

Jingyang is in short supply, even if Li Shimin gave him thousands of acres of land.

Yan Liben was even more worried about the current development of Jingyang, which was a bottomless pit for Li Zheng.

As Jingyang's territory grows bigger and bigger, Li Zheng needs more and more land and various resources.

Moreover, the technology mastered by the Tang Dynasty cannot meet Li Zheng's needs at all.

Fortunately, what Li Zheng did was all for the sake of people's livelihood.

To make people live better, whether it is soap or academies.

Li Zheng did not go against this original intention.

Yan Liben whispered: "I will stay in Jingyang to help you build. Of course, I have learned a lot of knowledge in your academy. I am very grateful to you, but I hope all your construction is to make people live a better life and let everyone live a better life."

Li Zheng looked at Yan Liben, "Of course."

Over the years, Li Jingshi has also been working in this direction.

The three of them briefly talked about the next process of Jingyang reconstruction. After arranging the map, Yan Liben breathed a sigh of relief. He had just completed the construction of the processing plant. Not to mention that the construction of the border is a huge project, the relocation of several areas in Jingyang is not an easy job.

Yan Liben, who came from a craftsmanship family, challenged his craftsmanship limits again and again.

In the past, we simply designed a palace.

Simple

Build a house.

However, the fortifications taken over in Jingyang are larger and larger every time, with a large project of thousands of people.

However, after each fortification is completed, we have a new understanding.

It’s not like building a fortification in a palace that is nothing more than those techniques.

I've finished my studies.

Only in Jingyang can you feel that your abilities are constantly improving.

The palace was built for the emperor.

However, Li Zheng built fortifications to better livelihood.

This is the biggest difference.

It is also an important reason why Yan Liben gave up his official position in the court to follow Li Zheng.

Yan Liben packed the drawings and said, "Let's arrange people to do things now."

Li Zheng said, "Please trouble Master Yan."

Yan Liben waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

After Yan Liben left, Li Yifu took out a letter and said, "This is a letter from Wang Sheng to his sister in recent Western Regions."

Li Zheng opened the letter and looked at it, regardless of whether his sister would object. After reading it, Li Zheng sighed and put away the letter.

Li Yifu said again: "The Chang'an Order, there is something I don't understand."

"Tell me." Li Zheng looked at the big tiger driving the horses.

Li Yifu said: "Since you want to build an industrial zone, why don't Chang'an order directly build the industrial zone into the Western Regions?"

Li Zheng walked home and said to him: "Technology needs to be cultivated. I want to cultivate technology in Jingyang. Look at the blacksmiths who have craftsmanship, it is still very difficult to reach the level of casting boilers. What I need is not just the technology of casting boilers."

Li Yifu bowed and said, "It turns out that Chang'an Order has a longer-term plan."

Seeing that Li Yifu was going to flatter him again, Li Zheng said: "Hurry up and organize the personnel, which delays the fortifications of the workshop relocation. I'll ask you."

Li Yifu smiled and said, "It must be done, it must be done."

After saying that, Li Yi's mansion hurriedly left.

He is in his thirties, but this Li Yifu still has such an inconvenient work.

Li Zheng shook his head helplessly.

When he returned home, Li Zheng handed the letter in his hand to Wang Qiaoer and said, "This is the letter your brother sent from Tubo."

Wang Qiaoer put down the account book in her arms, took the letter and saw that the letter had been opened.

Li Zheng said: "I took it apart casually, and I also want to know what he is doing recently."

Wang Qiaoer was not surprised, and said in a gentle voice: "It is also worth doing this."

Li Zheng nodded, "Anyway, your brother is pretty good over there now."

Wang Qiaoer opened the letter and read it. Looking at the contents of the letter, her originally quiet and gentle expression changed immediately. The contents of the letter: Sister, you are fine. Li Zheng, this beast has not done anything to you, I will definitely live well in Tubo. When I come back, I will definitely remove Li Zheng from the bottom of my body and save you...

"Have you really seen this letter to Chang'an Order?"

Wang Qiaoer looked up at Li Zheng with a blank expression.
