Once the Jianghuai water system is navigable, it will be able to realize the connection with the Central Plains.
Not only will the transportation be much more convenient, but it will also bring about earth-shaking changes to the economic development of the Huainan area.
Guan Yu then reported the results of the industry to Cao Ang.
Logging camps, quarries, and mines are all on track.
The paper mill that Cao Ang built in Huainan has already achieved production, and its output is at least ten times larger than that of Xudu's. Recently, a steady stream of paper has been sent over.
Otherwise, regardless of newspaper distribution or private demand, the consumption of paper in the Central Plains has soared, and the workshop Cao Ang built near Xudu could not afford it at all.
Huainan Iron and Steel Works and Huainan Shipyard will also be put into use soon. Cao Ang supports a large number of auxiliary tools and equipment, so that Huainan will soon have the first large-scale metal smelting and steel refining plant in the Central Plains.
This single workshop alone can provide much more steel than all the other iron-making workshops in Cao's territory combined.
In addition, the quality will also be greatly improved, which can not only meet the needs of more military weapons, agricultural tools and other tools, but also provide a basis for Cao Wei manufacturing.
Just like shipbuilding, Cao Ang does not expect the shipbuilding industry to reach the sky in one step and reach the modern level of later generations.
However, with sufficient labor, timber production, and steel production guaranteed, it is no problem to benchmark the warships of the Song and Yuan Dynasties first, which is enough to build the most advanced warships today.
In the future, it will be closer to the specifications of the Daming Treasure Ship.
Cao Ang attached great importance to shipbuilding because it was a very difficult industry.
Because shipbuilding not only requires skilled craftsmen, but also requires a huge labor force. However, with the increase in food production, a large number of laborers will be liberated, and the shipbuilding industry will definitely be able to take this opportunity to develop rapidly.
Soon after, the boat will launch into the water like dumplings. This is not only to prepare for the conquest of the south, but also to prepare for the future unification of the world and the conquest of the sea. Cao Ang's ambition and appetite have always been very large.
Zhao Yun and Lu Wen admired Cao Ang very much when they saw this!
It's hard for the two of them to believe that Huainan, which was still a hell on earth half a year ago, has undergone such earth-shaking changes now. In the future, Huainan's prosperity may be second only to the Central Plains.
This time because of Cao Ang, at least 100 million people survived!
Zhao Yun and Guan Yu saw this achievement, and the people in the Huainan area all remembered it in their hearts. They believed that it would leave a strong mark in the history books thousands of years later.
It is already an honor and pride for several people to witness and participate in this change.
Cao Ang was very satisfied with the report card handed over by Guan Yu, he laughed and said, "Okay, very good, let's celebrate."
Lu Wen immediately suggested, "How about we have a barbecue like last time?"
"I agree!"
Zhao Yun also felt that the open-air barbecue party, big mouthfuls of skewers, and big mouthfuls of wine were very enjoyable, and then said to Guan Yu who was beside him: "Yun Chang, we have some new friends here, Kong Ming, Shi Yuan, Shui Jing, and Mrs. Huang , are all great talents.”
Guan Yu nodded, he had heard about it, and today is just the time to get to know each other.
Guan Yu glanced at the direction of Liu Bei's tomb again, and then said: "Brother, third brother, Yun Chang doesn't ask for your forgiveness. The sage comes out, the Han Zuo is exhausted, and the big man is beyond salvation. Zixiu has become a sage king!"
After Guan Yu and Wolong Fengchu got to know each other, they were all impressed by each other's abilities and talents, and at the same time felt a sense of God helping Cao Ang.
With such talents around Cao Ang, can't the great cause be completed?
Guan Yu became more confident in assisting Cao Ang to accomplish his great cause.
On the second day, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were summoned by Cao Ang.
Cao Ang said: "The Battle of Guandu collected [-] surrendered soldiers. I originally planned to hand them over to Kong Ming and the Yuanshi Duo Squad for management, but they happened to have something to do, so I thought about handing them over to you two for management. "
Guan Yu knew about the surrendered soldiers Cao Ang was talking about, and these surrendered soldiers were Yuan Shao's elite troops.
They were all going to be buried alive, but Cao Ang saved them.
These people are not suitable for use on the battlefield, so Cao Ang wanted to train them all to become engineering troops.
This engineering unit is responsible for property construction and militarized management.
Therefore, it is the most suitable thing for Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to do this matter.
...
Chapter 219
Guan Yu asked: "General, can you clarify our mission?"
Cao Ang said: "Rebuild Luoyang!"
"Before that, all you need to do is to get used to the cooperation of Zhijian, and then head to Luoyang."
After the two heard Cao Ang's words, their hearts were lifted.
Luoyang was the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it was considered to be the location of the dragon's veins by all dynasties.
Although it is in Xudu now, it is only a temporary location after all.
Xu does not have the conditions to become a capital city.
But Luoyang City can do it.
The reason why Cao Ang raised this question was also because of the political relationship involved.
Because this Luoyang will definitely become the capital, so now is the time to consider it.
Although the current situation has not been settled yet, it does not prevent preparations in advance.
With this in mind, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun didn't dare to delay and became serious.
Zhao Yun said: "The restoration of Luoyang City is very important, but it cannot be completed in a short time."
Guan Yu nodded and said: "Zilong is right. Is it too early to think about this matter now? If you focus on this, it will inevitably have an impact on the unification of the world."
The two were very clear.
Cao Ang will be the emperor in the future.
The two are very supportive and supportive of this.
However, regarding the construction of Luoyang City, they think they can wait a little longer.
Cao Ang naturally guessed that the two were concerned and smiled: "Don't worry about this matter, I have plans, and the time is right to make preparations. Before that, I will let you read some things, and you will understand later."
After all, a group of people came to a workshop in the suburbs.
Because the dust is a bit serious, the workers who enter and exit wear dust masks. The core is several brick kilns, and each kiln is calcining materials. There are dozens of workers inside and outside, and they are very busy. .
Seeing this, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were a little surprised.
