After upgrading the town center, Lin Feng ordered the construction of these four new buildings. At the same time, he sent out a large number of Farmers to upgrade the previous buildings.
The previous upgrade of the buildings could not increase the scale of production, but it could allow more advanced technology to appear.
For example, the shipyard, which was upgraded to Level 3, could build 500-ton warships and 1,000-ton merchant ships!
Although the five-hundred-ton warship had not entered the era of cannons, its combat power had increased significantly in the case of skipping battles. In addition to the slow speed of the ships and the low accuracy of the cannons in this era, the combat power of a warship without cannons was not bad.
In one breath, he ordered the construction of 30 500-ton warships. In addition to the 130 300-ton warships, Lin Feng now had 130 warships under his command.
Coincidentally, they were about to start a war and attack Wendeng, the Chengshan Guards, and the Jinghai Guards.
Lin Feng also decided that the navy would have three fleets.
They were the Weihai Squadron, with Liugong Island as the naval base and the naval headquarters. They had ten 500-ton warships and forty 300-ton warships under their jurisdiction.
The Chengshan Squadron of the Chengshan Guards and the Jinghai Squadron of the Jinghai Guards each had ten 500-ton battleships and forty 300-ton battleships.
The three fleets were responsible for the north, east, and south of the territory.
The Weihai Squadron's enemies were the Tianjin Guards of Dengzhou and the Manchu Tartars of Liaodong. The Chengshan Squadron's enemies were North Korea and Japan, while the Jinghai Squadron's enemies were mainly the sea overlord Zheng Zhilong of Fujian and Taiwan, as well as the possible Netherlandish Spanish Squadron.
The three great fleets would become larger and larger as more and more powerful battleships entered service. Their scope of activity would also become wider and wider.
However, that was in the future. Lin Feng's main goal now was to occupy Dengzhou Prefecture and devour Shandong. In the end, he would split into three routes. He would take North Zhili in the north, Henan in the west, and Anhui and South Zhili in the south.
His current position was destined to be surrounded by enemies from three sides in the future.
He had to prepare early and set a strategy.
The best defense was offense, taking the initiative to attack and expand the living space.
He couldn't guarantee that if he became powerful, he would face the Great Shun Dynasty in the west, the Manchu Tartars in the north, and the Nanming in the south. Would they join forces to attack him?
According to human nature, such a situation was very likely to happen.
Attacks between forces did not care about any feelings. They fought to the death for the sake of benefits.
Being in a place like Shandong, there was nothing he could do. Who asked him to start on Liujia Island?
Now, they wanted to change their territory and headquarters to develop again.
There was simply no time for that!
Moreover, he did not have the capital to change his base camp.
The only thing he could do was to develop his own strength. He could advance both militarily and financially, and he could quickly develop and become stronger without any shortcomings.
......
The upgrade of the town center, the new buildings, and all the upgraded buildings caused the territory's strength to soar once again.
The mass production of cement began to appear in all the major construction sites. The cement and steel buildings quietly appeared, and the cement roads were formed. The entire Weihai Wei was changing at all times.
Those who went out to sea would find Weihai Wei unfamiliar after a few days. However, they liked this change because Weihai Wei had become more prosperous.
From the dock to the east of the city, there were many shops along the street and all kinds of buildings. At the same time, the main road was filled with four-wheeled carriages pulled by four tall horses with more than ten people sitting inside.
This kind of carriage was made up of a large number of four-wheeled carriages. As soon as it appeared, it was very popular among the people of Weihai Wei. The flat and spacious transportation network, coupled with the fast four-wheeled carriages, made the distance between Weihai Wei and other places close.
This also caused the traffic in the east of the city to skyrocket. It was almost crowded everywhere. All the shops on the street had opened for business. All kinds of goods were almost dazzling to the eyes of the Weihai residents.
Merchants from all over Ming liked the business atmosphere of Weihaiwei because the market here was too big.
Almost everyone here had copper coins in their pockets.
In addition, the commoners of Weihaiwei were extremely hardworking. The more they worked, the more they would get. The piece-by-piece method made the workers of Weihaiwei work overtime.
He wished he could work in the factory 24 hours a day because every moment was money!
The wages of those who worked hard were beyond their imagination.
Some were as small as a few hundred copper coins, while others were as large as a few silver coins.
In addition, Weihaiwei's daily necessities were strictly controlled. The prices were low and stable. In terms of food, a family of three could not spend more than 100 copper coins a month.
Furthermore, women could also earn money, especially female workers in the textile factory. The money they earned was even much higher than that of men.
The two adults were earning money, and the small family of three had more copper coins in their pockets than they could imagine.
After putting on the bright-colored and beautiful clothes, they didn't need to walk when they went out. They could directly sit in the four-wheeled carriage and enter and exit various places in Weihai Wei.
After eating and drinking to their fill, they began to pursue spiritual pursuits such as dressing prettier and eating better.
In short, in just two to three months, Weihaiwei's consumer market had already surpassed the most developed southern city in Ming Dynasty.
It attracted more and more southern merchants, whether they were here to purchase goods, sell goods, or even rent shops to sell. All of them made a fortune here.
Weihai Wei's reputation also started to spread.
It gradually became a pearl on the long coastline in the eyes of many people in Da Ming.
Because Weihai Wei had sufficient food, all kinds of meat, cloth, iron tools, and salt, in the eyes of many people in Ming Dynasty, this place had become an immortal city where immortals lived.
More and more people drifted across the sea to Weihai Wei.
The territory was preparing for war, but it didn't affect the prosperity.
Because of the war preparations, all kinds of materials were needed. A large amount of silver coins were scattered, causing the Weihai Wei market to become more prosperous. Merchant ships filled with supplies arrived at the dock one after another and were quickly unloaded.
Most of the goods that came from other places were raw materials.
For example, all kinds of metal minerals, saltpeter, charcoal, sulfur, etc., which would be used to make gunpowder in the future. He would buy as much as he could, and he would buy them at a high price!
Because of the four pillar industries of Weihaiwei, the export volume of Weihaiwei's foreign trade was extremely large. Lin Feng's goal was not to earn money, so he needed to exchange this money for more resources and raw materials.
Only by balancing the import and export could Weihai Wei's development enter a faster and faster track!
