Shipyards, gun casting factories, firearms factories, and gun pharmaceutical factories are all on Danluo Island, especially the factories that cast red cannons. They were originally in the mountains of Qinghe County, Dongping Prefecture, and are still casting cannons there, but the ones that cast were sent out were trusted, that is, for listening and rituals. As for why Wu Song brought out these sensitive factories, mainly because he was not suitable for early exposure before his wings were full, and at least he could not be fully exposed.

The winter on Danluo Island is not very cold. The large area of ​​wasteland in the middle is very suitable for planting, and the water is abundant near the river. The men recruited from Qingzhou for more than 3,000 Qingzhou were working in different parts under the leadership of their respective team leaders. The men didn't care. At this time, Wu Song and Gongsun Sheng came with a few followers.

The process of reclaiming land is very complicated. The first step is to make a good marking and plan the canals and roads in advance. The second step is to protect the burning of weeds and small shrubs. The third step is the most tiring and slowest step. The sharp pickaxe made from an iron factory is used to dig out stones, tree roots, and grass roots bit by bit. This step is very slow, and a lot of labor is required for a mu of land.

Gongsun Sheng was very happy and said, "Brother, please see, the grassroots here are fertile soil and there are few stones, so it is labor-saving. It is also said that the land on Danluo Island is fertile, several times stronger than the wastelands reclaimed in Yizhou Prefecture."

"It cannot be compared, it cannot be compared. Danluo Island has fertile fertile fields. It can be harvested twice a year for wheat and corn. The Yizhou mountainous areas have terraced fields, and sweet potatoes, honeysuckle, hawthorns, and peppercorns are planted."

At this time, Min Zhuang, who was working, saw Gongsun Sheng, saluted and said, "Daoist Gongsun is here to see how we are doing."

Gongsun Shengdao: "Mr. Wu is here to see you today, and this general is by my side."

When the people and the people saw that Wu Song was coming, they all bowed: "Thank you, Lord Wu for saving his life. We have all heard that Master Wu arranged for Master Gongsun Sheng and others to recruit us refugees in Qingzhou. If Master Wu had not saved him righteously, we would have starved to death."

Wu Song said: "Everyone has risen, all have risen. Danluo Island is fertile and enough for you to live. You must work hard. In the future, these cultivated lands are likely to be distributed to your own land."

"Don't worry, sir, we must do our best." Everyone said.

In fact, no one dares not to do it well. The system of reclaiming wasteland is strict. If it is not for illness or special circumstances, if you are late or leave early, you will be hungry for more than three times, and you will be beaten if you deliberately slacking off more than three times. Of course, Gongsun Sheng is relatively gentle in his rule, and he mainly uses persuasion. He rarely uses force to solve problems. Only those who do not understand will use force.

Director Liu Yingxing is a little busy these days, and the newly built factories are not easy everywhere. This is either lacking or that. However, before moving, hundreds of red cannons were cast, which was enough to supply newly produced warships.

"Master Wu is here." As soon as Wu Song arrived at the artillery factory, the craftsmen notified Liu Yingxing, and Liu Yingxing went out to greet Wu Song and others.

Wu Song said: "How is it, the craftsmen should still adapt."

Liu Yingxing said: "It's all okay, but there are some people who miss their wife's family."

Wu Song nodded: "This is also human nature. It's just that the cannon factory is a confidential factory. Once the information is leaked, it is very dangerous. You still need to endure it for a while. The island's supporting facilities are perfected and you can bring your wife and children, and the whole family is happy."

The craftsmen all heard it and said very movedly: "The salary paid by lords is very high, and we have accepted it even if we have worked hard. Thank you for your consideration for us."

A cotton spinning mill is set up on the island, so that the craftsmen's families will have work to do when they come. As for those who are unwilling to go to the factory, they can properly distribute the food fields, and farming can make a good life.

The casting factory has been relocated and cannot be produced in the short term, and Wu Song is not in a hurry to produce.

Liu Yingxing said: "General Weiyuan's cannon has developed to its extreme. A two thousand kilogram can hit six miles and its range is very long. However, I feel that although it can hit far, its power is not good. First of all, the warship is bumpy. When it hits five or six miles, it is no longer accurate. Secondly, it is an iron bullet, and it is not very powerful when it hits. I want to make a fuss on the shells."

Wu Song was shocked. Liu Yingxing was really a genius. He thought of the flowering bullet so quickly.

"Oh, why did you have this kind of thought?" Wu Song asked.

Liu Yingxing said: "The factory has been relocated these days, so I can't do anything else. I just touched the shells. The solid iron bombs are not far away, and the second is that they have little power. How can I not hollow out the iron bombs and add cannon medicine to it, which is even more powerful."

Wu Song patted Liu Yingxing on the shoulder and said, "You think very well, very good, and that's true. This kind of bullet can explode after it falls to the ground. It's called a flowering bullet. Let's start researching with the small tiger squat cannon shells. Be sure to pay attention to safety and avoid major accidents. Every craftsman is a precious asset."

Liu Yingxing said: "Don't worry, when the experiment is done, the flower bullet will first contain some cigarettes, and do not add gun medicine. When the technology is mature, the live-fire experiment will be carried out."

The tiger squat cannon shell is only the size of a duck egg. The things inside the hollow core are very limited, so the power is also average, but the weight changes and can hit it further.

Liu Yingxing already had an idea. His first idea was to cast two semicircular shells, add turnbuckles, and then turnbuckles in the middle and turnbuckles turned into a round shell. However, how to prevent him from blowing the barrel of the gun needs to be studied carefully. Wu Song didn't know much about this thing, so he could only let Liu Yingxing and the craftsmen design and develop this thing independently.

Wu Song stayed on Danluo Island for five days, carefully inspected the army, factories, and farms, and then began to return under the escort of three warships sent by the Second Fleet.

The team led the guards to Wen Zhongrong, who was recruited by Wu Song from Baodu Village. He was originally a hero on land, but he became much more stable when he arrived on the warship.

Wen Zhongrong asked: "General, which port should we go to?"

"Go to Dengzhou Prefecture, there are important things to do," Wu Song said.

The ships and ships sailed very quickly along the way under the sailor's turn of trampling. They arrived near Dengzhou in a few days. The fleet returned, and Wu Song led two ships to Dengzhou. Wu Song came to find Gu Dasao. Gu Dasao happened to be in the store, and she was very happy.

Wu Song said: "Sister Gu is so leisurely. Haven't you been busy these few days?"

Mrs. Gu said, "Why are my brother here? I don't say hello in advance."

"Don't be so polite. I'm here to ask you to help you with some small business," said Wu Song.

Recently, Mrs. Gu cooperated with Wu Song's caravan and transported a batch of pineapples from Qiongzhong, making a lot of money. She was very happy. She immediately said: "My brother has any instructions, so you are welcome."
