Territory, Lord's Manor.
As the territory's strength increased, the scale of the various industries under it expanded rapidly.
Li Sheng moved all the civilian businesses under his command to Lushunkou. The base camp where the liege's manor was located, the former fishing village, had become a military camp and a military factory.
This place had almost become a restricted area on Lushun Peninsula. Without permission, no one could enter.
This was Li Sheng's responsibility for his own safety, and at the same time, it was a secret measure for his territory.
Because the lord's manor had too many secrets, they could not let the outside world know.
Otherwise, many things would not be explained clearly.
Following the great victory at the South Pass, the incident of the Tartar generals being dismembered at Lushun Pass quickly spread. More and more people noticed the most difficult place in Liaodong, the small Lushun Peninsula.
More and more people started to refer to the Li Family Army as Li Sheng's territory.
Li Sheng had never thought of the Li Family Army before.
He also knew that many people had been labeled as the remnants of the Dongjiang Army because of his background.
He did not refute!
Because he knew very well that without strength, he would never be able to shut the mouths of the world, nor would he be able to change the prejudice of the world.
The transformation from the remnants of the Dongjiang Army to the Li Family Army was the best proof of his strength.
Before this, because Ming was still around, Emperor Chongzhen was still fine in the Imperial Palace.
Li Sheng naturally followed the low-key strategy of building high walls, accumulating food, and slowly becoming king.
He definitely wouldn't anger Da Ming at this time, causing him to be attacked from both sides.
It was impossible to become a king!
It was far from the time to become a king.
Thus, the territory did not even have an official name.
Fortunately, before this, the territory was equivalent to one's own people living behind closed doors. There were almost no outsiders, so it did not matter and did not care.
But now, the territory's reputation had spread far and wide.
The victory at the South Pass shocked the world.
More and more gazes gathered.
At this time, the territory needed a name.
As the saying goes, the name doesn't mean it doesn't work. Since they decided to develop the territory through trade and absorbing resources from the outside world.
Then, it was time to make a name for the territory.
Li Sheng felt that the title of the Li Family Army was not bad.
It was also the most suitable name for the current strategic development of the territory.
More importantly, now that the outside world called him the Li Family Army, he didn't need to flatter himself.
It could be used directly, which was simple and convenient.
What was even more amazing was that if the Li Family Army continued to address him as such for a long time, it would imperceptibly create a favorable impression on the world.
The first thing they would think was that the Li Family Army was a team that specialized in fighting Tartars.
Once the future changed and the sky collapsed, the name of the Li Family Army would gain the hearts of countless people!
Was there a better name than this?!
Having his own name would allow his territory structure to become more standardized.
This was a good thing for Li Sheng.
Moreover, it was not troublesome. He only needed to make more "Li" flags.
This "Li" flag could represent both the Li Family Army and Li Sheng.
Going against the 'Li' flag was going against Li Sheng and the entire Li Family Army!
Li Sheng immediately issued this decision in a written order.
From now on, the territory would act in the name of the Li Family Army.
In a situation where most of the people in the territory were system members, any decision Li Sheng made would receive full support.
With a single order, he immediately changed it.
Overnight, the entire Lushun Peninsula was covered in flags with the word "Li".
After officially naming his territory as the Li Family Army, Li Sheng turned his attention to the follow-up of the incident of the Tartar Generals at Lushunkou.
As mentioned before, because this matter was too big, as time passed, it fermented and became more and more intense.
The subsequent effects began to gradually appear.
The number of sea merchants entering Lushunkou for trade increased substantially, and the volume of import and export transactions increased crazily.
With the increase in trading volume, the territory urgently needed to establish a standardized foreign trade and financial industry.
Most of the transactions today were calculated in silver.
Silver wasn't standardized and its purity wasn't high. Thus, when it was traded, all kinds of weighing calculations were extremely troublesome.
Hence, they urgently needed territory to forge coins to regulate.
Yes, coin casting!
They were copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins.
As for paper money, he could forget about it. Paper money had long been ruined by Big Ming. His credit had collapsed, and no one was willing to use it.
To recast the credit problem of banknotes and restore market confidence would require a lot of effort, and it would not be something that could be done overnight.
To Li Sheng, forging precious metal coins was an extremely profitable industry in this era.
And now, the products produced in the territory were not in demand, so he naturally had the qualifications to participate in the coin-making industry.
Moreover, it was more secure to have the right to coin in his hands.
At that time, the industry would support them, and they would collect seignorage.
One industry, one finance, two big knives cut down, the efficiency of harvesting leeks was very good.
It could also promote the scale of the territory's industry!
The scale of the industry expanded, the output of various products increased, and the productivity increased greatly.
To Li Sheng, this was the economy!
It was also the foundation of the economy.
At the same time, it was also the foundation of his Li Family Army.
If the Li Family Army wanted to survive in the nest of the Manchu Tartars, they would have to live a comfortable life and grow stronger.
Therefore, he had to firmly grasp the industrial development.
Even though it was a handicraft industry now, it was still an industry.
As long as the industrial base was still there, the Li family army would not fall into a helpless situation just because of one or two defeats.
As long as the industrial base was still there, there would be an endless supply of weapons and ammunition.
Then the Li Family Army would not be afraid of any means of attack.
Regarding the importance of the industry, Li Sheng had hundreds of years of insight and foresight.
Taking back the right to coin, casting their own currency, and using it for internal and external transactions.
This would definitely speed up the industrial development of the territory.
This was the role of a propeller.
It could be said that as the territory's foreign trade volume increased, it was necessary to take back the right to coin.
For the Li Family Army who had the strength and capital, it was easy to take back the right to coin.
He only needed to forge a precious metal currency and enforce it.
If the merchant wanted to buy the industrial products produced by the Li family army, he had to first exchange the silver in his hand for the precious metal currency of the Li family army.
At the same time, the territory would use their own currency to settle the purchase of raw materials.
Because the currency forged by the Li family's army was made of precious metal, and the layout was exquisite, there was no cutting corners, and the quality was guaranteed.
It was a high-quality currency, and no one would reject it in this era.
There were even a large number of sea merchants who were frantically buying and collecting them.
Because the silver coins cast by the Li Family Army were much better than the silver coins cast by the white skin of the Western Continent overseas.
With all these measures, the territory easily took back the right to forge money and at the same time regulated the territory's currency transactions.
The messy currency on the market was swept clean.
The transaction became standardized.
