While militia units from all over Liaodong were continuously providing support to Yuguan City, Li Xin was not idle either.

At present, the two sides are in a stalemate at Yuguan City.

No matter how many troops the imperial army reinforces, as long as this front line is firmly held, the imperial army will not be able to enter Liaodong.

And Liaodong will then truly become a new base under Li Xin's command!

This new base naturally needs to be well managed and developed.

Liaodong is a vast and resource-rich land, especially rich in coal and iron resources!

Near Shenzhou City, in the area of ​​Fushun Pass, lies one of the world's top open-pit coal mining bases.

In later generations, they became world-famous!

During this time, Li Xin also searched through smart technology and found the exact location of the open-pit coal mine.

Immediately, Li Xin also recruited mining team members in the Shenzhou area and established the Liaodong Mining Bureau.

Skilled workers who came from the Dongning area also joined the Liaodong Mining Bureau.

Despite the fact that Liaodong was still covered in ice and snow, the Liaodong Mining Bureau was officially established amidst a series of firecrackers.

"Your Highness,"

Looking at the joyous scene, Liaodong Governor-General Yu Maocai asked, "Is there that much coal over at Fushun Pass?"

"how?"

Li Xin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't you trust me?"

When has my judgment ever gone wrong?

"Besides,"

Li Xin smiled and continued, "There is usually sporadic coal mining in the Fushun Pass area, which the local people are aware of."

The presence of even a few scattered coal deposits indicates the presence of coal mines in the area.

That's exactly what we learned back in Dongning.

The same should naturally apply to Liaodong.

During this time, I read some books and talked a lot with the local people.

I already have some impression of Liaodong.

Liaodong is a vast and resource-rich region.

Not only are there abundant coal resources, but there are also a lot of iron ore resources.

I heard that there are many iron mines and associated copper mines in the vicinity of Liaodong City, and that the iron smelting industry in Liaodong City is also very developed.

Now that Liaodong is in our hands, we should naturally develop it well!

As he spoke, Li Xin looked at the bustling crowd and continued, "Now that the Liaodong Mining Bureau has been established, we need workers to mine coal."

When iron ore is discovered, a large number of workers will be needed.

This is also a step towards a better life for the people of Liaodong, enabling them to earn money and live a better life.

During this period, Liaodong Province assisted the Mining Bureau in recruiting workers.

"Understood, Your Highness!"

Yu Maocai nodded and said, "Liaodong has a large population and everything needs to be rebuilt. We need people for all kinds of things."

Our Liaodong government should also assist in the construction of cement kilns, lime kilns, brick and tile kilns, and timber mills.

This requires a lot of manpower.

The model from Dongning can be directly adopted here.

"It's good that you understand this!"

Li Xin patted Yu Maocai on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Liaodong is a vast land with great potential!"

After the establishment of the Liaodong Mining Bureau, they began exploring coal mines in the Fushun area.

A few days later, several senior technicians arrived from Dongning.

Li Xin also met with this group of senior technicians at the Shenzhou government office.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

As soon as Li Xin entered the hall, everyone immediately knelt on one knee and bowed.

"Get up, everyone."

Li Xin quickly waved.

After everyone got up, servants brought tea and snacks.

Among the people in the hall were many faces, many of whom Li Xin recognized very well.

People like cement technician Dong Haibao, engineering team member Qiao Juncheng, gunpowder bureau member Pan Yi, musket bureau member Xu Hedou, and Dongning ironworks member Zhang Hong were all contributors to the development of Dongning.

"With your arrival, there's hope for industrial development in Liaodong!"

Li Xin said with a smile, "The industrial base in Dongning was all built by you. You have made outstanding contributions!"

"We'll also need your help in Liaodong."

"Your Highness,"

Dong Haibao spoke first, saying, "Our cement industry is quite convenient."

There are many mountains near Shenzhou City, which we saw on the way here, including limestone formations. Cement kilns are relatively easy to build.

"I guarantee that ten cement kilns will be built in Liaodong within one month to increase cement production and ensure that construction and use in Liaodong are not delayed."

"Our construction team won't lag behind either!"

Qiao Juncheng also spoke up.

Cement and engineering are the simplest things.

These projects are also the easiest.

The most difficult and important industry is the steel industry.

Steel is the foundation and backbone of industry!

Future development will depend on the support of massive steel production!

Therefore, Zhang Hong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, the steel industry still needs further exploration."

I saw the Fushun Coal Mine on the way here.

However, the location of the iron ore still needs to be explored.

The location of the steel plant will also be very important at that time.

"That's all for now,"

Li Xin said, "Let's locate the steel plant in the eastern part of Shenzhou City, near the Fushun Coal Mine."

In addition, its proximity to Shenzhou City makes it easier for us to control and protect the steel plant.

As for the iron ore production area, exploration has already begun in the vicinity of Liaodong City, and it is estimated that we will soon have some progress.

During this period, I will first take charge of the construction of the Liaodong Steel Plant.

The new steel plant will be built to completion in one go, and the new experiences from Dongning will also be applied here.
