At the same time as the battle in the Western Regions was initiated, the joint technical team of the Mining Department of the Ministry of Industry and the General Administration of Mining of the Ministry of Finance and the General Administration of Mining of the Ministry of Finance urgently went to Liuqiu Island.

After investigation by professionals, they found that the gold mine is of high value, very superior quality, and not difficult to mine. Conservatively, there are tens of thousands of kilograms of gold available for mining.

There were also traces of some copper mines around the gold mine. It was suspected that there were larger copper mines near the gold mine, and it was believed that the veins of this gold mine could continue to be detected, and there might be other surprises.

They believe that mining farms are set up here to start mining, and they can provide the Ming Dynasty with precious metals worth hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of stagnes of copper coins every year.

Su Yonglin was very happy and immediately instructed the General Administration of Minerals of the Ministry of Finance and the Mining Department of the Ministry of Industry to form a large-scale joint working group, headed by Li Le, the doctor of the Mining Department of the Ministry of Industry, to organize a professional prospecting team and a series of tools to go to Liuqiudadao Gold Mine for construction.

Su Yonglin's hope is to start input and output before the end of the year, mine gold and copper on Liuqiuda Island, transport them back to China and enter the national reserves, and make reserves for the next step of monetary reform.

After Lin Jingchun learned about it, he attached great importance to this matter.

He personally organized a professional team from the Ministry of Finance to go to the Liuqiudadao Gold Mine for evaluation and estimate the value, and then planned to send relevant personnel to stay at the mine to conduct specific statistics on the gold and copper produced in the mine.

Moreover, because of this discovery on Liuqiuda Island, Lin Jingchun believed that Liuqiuda Island had relatively good development value, so Lin Jingchun suggested that Su Yonglin could consider formally operating Liuqiuda Island.

He suggested that the Ming Dynasty administrative divisions were formally established on this big island and included them in direct rule, and then experiments were carried out according to Su Yonglin's earlier plan.

Earlier, Su Yonglin had plans and plans to build an industrial city with mining as the core, and was planning to find a region in Liaodong to experiment.

The specific plan is to rely on mines to gather population, develop surrounding areas, build agricultural areas, living areas, and industrial areas to develop into a new industrial settlement, which gradually increases the population.

Now there is no suitable place in Liaodong, but it is found on Liuqiu Island.

Su Yonglin was very happy about this, so he decided to experiment with his long-planned plan on Liuqiuda Island to use it as an experience package for the subsequent construction of industrial cities and the development and strengthening of the working class.

As soon as he thought of this, Su Yonglin immediately convened a joint government meeting of the imperial court and various departments of the Revival Association to conduct specific consultations on Lin Jingchun's proposal.

Because there was no experience in building industrial cities before the Ming Dynasty.

The existing cities are basically water and land transportation hubs. Because of their agricultural status, commercial status and military status, and transportation status as the core, there are no simple industrial cities.

In the future, after the Ming Dynasty's technology has developed leapfrog, the construction and transformation of industrial cities will be almost inevitable.

In the near future, some prosperous industrial cities will appear in traditional remote areas such as Liaodong, grassland, southwest, and Lingnan. In order to accumulate relevant experience, Su Yonglin said that he is willing to do an experiment on Liuqiu Island.

Regarding the latest scientific and technological progress in Ming Dynasty, senior officials participating in the government affairs meeting and senior cadres of the Revival Association have a little understanding.

They knew that Su Yonglin was promoting wonderful power reform with his genius ideas, intending to use brand new power equipment to bring great changes unseen to the Ming Dynasty.

He called it the "Industrial Revolution Plan".

In his description, the Ming Dynasty, which uses brand new power equipment in the future, will develop at a rate of ten or even hundreds of times now. Everyone's lives will undergo earth-shaking changes in just a few decades, and everyone will enter a new era from another perspective.

At the government affairs meeting, Su Yonglin made a very clear speech.

"The Industrial Revolution Plan is the core plan of the Ming Dynasty in the future. In order to realize this plan, the Ming Dynasty has made a lot of preparations. Just wait for technological breakthroughs to be completed, then everything will come naturally. In order to prevent us from being in a hurry when the new era comes, I think it is necessary to build an industrial city on Liuqiu Island."

Officials and members look at me and I look at you. Everyone has unconcealed curiosity and yearning in their eyes.

They were used to the victory and glory that Su Yonglin brought to them, and were passively used to the changes that Su Yonglin brought to them that they were willing to accept or unwilling to accept.

Some of these changes are in their interests and they are willing to accept them.

Some are not in their interests, so they are not willing but will eventually be forced to accept it.

For example, Su Yonglin has increasingly severely regulated officials and members of the Revival.

The Industrial Revolution plan was not aimed at a certain person or a group, but the entire Ming Dynasty. When Su Yonglin took them to visit the No. 1 steam engine, they were also shocked.

When Su Yonglin said that this machine would be used in all walks of life in the future, they were all surprised.

They can't imagine such a strange machine that can drive a car and then run the extreme speed of 600 miles to a light and fluttering daily speed.

In the 14th year of Tianbao, An Lushan caused chaos. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang received news within six days. He ran for six days for three thousand miles, which was equivalent to the news being passed by five hundred miles in one day.

This was already the ultimate speed at which the national strength included in the feudal dynasty, including the road administration and Ma Zheng, was conveyed under the most urgent circumstances.

In order to complete this extreme transmission, the station system needs to pay an extremely expensive price, including but not limited to more than twenty horses becoming disposable products and will be abandoned from now on.

Because of the extremely expensive cost, such extreme speeds are basically not used in daily life. It is not necessary to pass messages for 500 miles a day.

According to Su Yonglin's description, once the steam locomotive is successful, the maximum speed of the feudal dynasty of the sacred feudal dynasty will become the starting speed of the new era, and will continue to accelerate in the future, easily breaking the maximum speed of the feudal dynasty of the sacred feudal dynasty.

The cost is still very low.

If you see the big one from the small, the development speed of the Ming Dynasty will far surpass all dynasties in history, and at extremely low costs, it will move towards the sea of ​​stars that predecessors will never dream of.

Each of them was shocked about the future described by Su Yonglin, and they felt that their souls were trembling.

They accepted something that Su Yonglin had a brand new idea from time to time and then put it into practice and gained huge profits and success.

But they had no idea how far Su Yonglin planned the Ming Dynasty in his head.

They didn't know what the future of the Ming Dynasty would be like in his head.

Is it a kingdom of gods flying in the sky?

The new ideas they had never been exposed to, the new political system they had never been exposed to, the new weapons they had never been exposed to, and the industrial revolution they could not imagine were all facilitated by Su Yonglin.

So much so that they believed from the bottom of their heart that Su Yonglin was a special existence, and it really wouldn't work without him.

Even the deteriorating people who were most disgusted with Su Yonglin's system reform could not imagine how much the Ming Dynasty Congress, which was led by Su Yonglin, fell to the point. They did not like Su Yonglin's idea of ​​continuing revolution, but could not move forward without the route planned by Su Yonglin.

They wanted to get rid of Su Yonglin, but found that they could not do it at all. No matter from any perspective, they could not do it.

Yawen

So they were desperate.
