Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 125 The Emergence of Rebel Forces
Li Ke thinks that if you do business, it is not a bad thing to release some steel that is not particularly good in quality and sell it.

The surrounding countries must be very eager to get it.

Besides, even if Li Ke doesn't sell steel to these countries, they will still find a way to get some steel from Longguo to study.

In this world, although steel has not been fully forged, there have been considerable breakthroughs in iron making. Once others get steel and study it, it may not be impossible to forge steel.

Instead of letting the other party forge it, it is better for Longguo to sell the steel to them and get a lot of benefits from it.

Anyway, Li Ke felt that bombs would definitely not be manufactured by various countries in a short period of time.

If the Dragon Kingdom has bombs, it has the strongest weapon protection.

On the contrary, things like steel can only play an auxiliary effect, just icing on the cake.

Therefore, after Li Ke's order was passed down, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households began to quickly implement it, and the government contacted businessmen from all over the country to carry out steel forging.

Part of the steel is used for ordinary construction and sold alive to the people in need.

Another part of the steel is sold abroad, in exchange for a lot of revenue and tariffs.

In this way, within a very short period of time, Dragon Kingdom can become a big steel country that relies on steel for money.

If it is said that the benefits gained from exporting vegetables and fruits are slow and long-lasting.

Then, the benefits obtained by steel are immediate.

After Dragon Kingdom announced that it wanted to sell steel, countless surrounding countries excitedly offered olive branches, and sent envoys to negotiate with Dragon Kingdom, wanting to buy Dragon Kingdom's steel.

After all, in the current era, iron forging in various countries is still immature.

Therefore, for something harder like steel, it is natural to be thirsty for knowledge.

Although the price given by the Dragon Kingdom is very high, these countries will grit their teeth and spend money to buy it.

Because they know that once the steel mastered is used to forge weapons and armor, it will be several grades higher than the original ordinary iron.

On the battlefield, it can exert a huge effect.

So they will buy steel even if they pay a high price.

As a result, all kinds of vegetables and fruits have become a way for ordinary people to export and make money.

Steel, on the other hand, has become a way for the country to export and make money.

It is logical that the Dragon Kingdom has become a big agricultural country and a big steel country with a very leading position.

Money is naturally earned.

Of course, Li Ke is not satisfied with this. He wants the Dragon Kingdom to be strong and rich, not only from these two aspects.

Therefore, he ordered that the sugar industry be vigorously developed in various places, and sugar cane be planted to make white sugar, etc., which can also be used for domestic sales and export abroad.

There is also salt, which is also a vigorously developing industry.

In addition, based on his own knowledge, Li Ke gave the Ministry of Industry the method of distilling alcohol for later generations, asked the Ministry of Industry to make it, and established an official winery.

Soon, high-alcohol liquor came out.

After being put into the market, it goes without saying that the response has made countless wine lovers go crazy for it.

Due to cost reasons, the price is naturally high, but many people still love it.

In this way, Longguo has another income.

In addition, books have become very popular, so Li Ke also ordered that the prices of officially printed books should be raised reasonably to generate income.

Soon, the financial crisis of the Dragon Kingdom was resolved.

The Dragon Kingdom has huge income in all aspects, which quickly fills up the Dragon Kingdom's treasury.

Don't worry about the money issue anymore, but Li Ke still thinks of ways every day. Based on his advanced modern knowledge, he keeps coming up with some ideas. While changing the lives of the people, he also gives them the opportunity to make money with these ideas.

For example, a more perfect loom and a more scientific method of raising silkworms allowed the common people to raise silkworms and weave silk.

Similarly, making glass, making cement, soap, etc., are all opportunities to improve the lives of the people and make money for the people.

These are all very advanced ways to make money.

With the emergence of these things, under the policy of the imperial court, yamen all over the country contacted businessmen to build factories and recruit workers to work.

The common people also choose to work in factories in various places and industries according to the jobs they think are suitable.

Those who like wine, enter the winery.

Those who like construction, enter the cement factory.

You can also enter glass factories, steel factories, soap factories, weaving factories and so on.

Most of the women went to work in the places where silkworms were raised and where weaving.

With the emergence of these emerging industries, the people of Longguo also have the opportunity to make money.

Because of the variety of vegetables, fruits and hybrid rice that Li Ke took out, their food is diversified, and it is impossible to starve.

Because of the various advanced things that Li Ke came up with, they can make money and live better.

Therefore, hundreds of millions of people in the entire Dragon Kingdom are extremely grateful to Li Ke.

Although it is said that it will take a certain amount of time for all people to return to their hearts, Li Ke knows that if this continues, it will not be far away for the Dragon Kingdom to realize the return of all people to their hearts.

However, at this time, Li Ke learned that there was a rebel force among the people.

This force was Li Er's people back then, and it is said that it was headed by several princes and daughters of the Tang Kingdom.
