Once there are more and more skilled workers, things like guns and cannons can also be produced.

Steam engines and ships won't be far behind!

Thinking about all this, Li Xin felt a surge of excitement.

During this period, they won the second Battle of Dongning City and dealt a heavy blow to the grassland bandits in the Dongning area, which also bought Dongning City valuable time for development.

With time and money invested, Dongning City can be developed and expanded!

As Dongning City grows and prospers, it will create a virtuous cycle, like a snowball rolling downhill, getting bigger and bigger!

By then, let alone the grassland bandits in the Dongning Province area, what would happen to the entire Daqian Dynasty?

Thinking about it, Li Xin felt a surge of heroic spirit.

By then, all his years of painstaking development will have been worthwhile!

We need to speed things up!

Developing and building a base requires time, money, and resources!

Now, there's time!

Money was also earned by businesses like Qingyu Trading Company and Sunji Trading Company using soap, cement, and thunderclap bombs in various places in Jiangnan and Qiantang.

And resources are also guaranteed.

The grain purchased by Qingyu Trading Company and Sunji Trading Company is enough to sustain Dongning City for a period of time.

In early spring, sorghum was also sown in the fertile fields on the southeast and southwest sides of Dongning City, which will replenish the city's food resources after the autumn harvest.

The air routes to Annam and Champa, which are currently being developed, are expected to be completed soon.

The rice purchased from these places will then support the development of Dongning City.

Everything is ready!

All that remains is to set sail!
