With the continuous expansion of the territory of the Condor Empire, the population of the country has also increased.

Although there is the Forbidden City, Ning Yuan can prevent a rebellion in a certain area in advance, but he cannot grasp the changes in the loyalty of some important generals in advance.

After all, with so many generals in the Condor Empire, it is impossible for him to check the loyalty one by one every day, so it is very necessary to establish an organization that can monitor the daily actions of these generals.

The Condor Empire now has only one external intelligence agency. These intelligence personnel are mainly responsible for spying on the enemy and assassinating the enemy’s senior generals. Ning Yuan intends to use this intelligence agency as the basis to set up an east factory and a west factory in one step. , A master within.

Outside the owner of the East Factory, he is mainly responsible for spying on the enemy, drawing maps and collecting various intelligence.

The owner of the West Factory is mainly responsible for monitoring the domestic civil and military officials and understanding the people's sentiments.

The Dongxi Factory was signed by the official of the Ming Dynasty, and it was the privileged supervision agency, secret service agency and secret police-procuratorial agency at that time.

The Ming Dynasty was a very weird dynasty in ancient China. Not many people can say what the emperors of this dynasty are. But if you mention Dongxi Liangchang and Jinyiwei, it is basically known to women and children.

Affected by the works of He film and television, Ning Yuan is also fascinated by these two spy agencies, so when thinking of setting up his own spy agency, he didn't bother to think about the name, so he directly took the names of the two factories and used them, and then specific The function of has been revised.

Of course, he didn't dare to copy all of the vices in Naguina, because the Ming Dynasty two factories were so famous, in fact, most of them were notorious, after all, they were stinking for thousands of years.

In order to prevent the two factories from having too much power, Ning Yuan clarified their respective responsibilities and obligations at the beginning of the establishment and did not allow them to have any unauthorized behavior.

The admiral of the East Factory is Wang Qi. Wang Qi’s task is to collect the information sent by the factory guards from various places, and then sort out the useful parts to the military department. He and Dongchang are under the direct control of the military department.

The admiral of the West Factory is Ji Xiaofeng, who is under the direct jurisdiction of Ning Yuan. The main task of the West Factory is to supervise the civil and military officials and inspect the local conditions.

In order to limit their rights, Ning Yuan stipulated that the West Factory has only supervisory power and no disposal power, which means that they only need to sort out the information and submit it to Ning Yuan. As for how Ning Yuan will handle it, it has nothing to do with them.

Ning Yuan did not hide from anyone about the establishment of the two factories. He directly appointed Wang Qi and Ji Xiaofeng directly in front of the civil and military officials.

Ning Yuan's meaning is obvious, that is, to tell everyone not to do whatever they want with hard work. Everyone is equal before the law, so it's better to give him some restraint.

No one is perfect, and the gang of generals under Ning Yuan have more or less various minor problems.

As the lord, it is impossible for Ning Yuan to mention them all day long because of trivial things, so many people don't take it seriously, which leads to more and more minor problems.

Although the big things do not stick to the trivial, the details determine the success or failure. The fault is small, but if you don't pay attention, it may become the last straw to overwhelm the camel at a critical moment, so Ning Yuan needs to help them correct it.

Now it’s alright. The factory guards of the West Factory are equivalent to Ning Yuan’s eyes. They are likely to appear anywhere. In other words, in theory, Ning Yuan will see their every move, so when they want to do something , I will definitely think twice before doing it.

Of course, surveillance belongs to surveillance, and Ning Yuan will definitely not let the factory guard interfere with their normal lives, so they still have absolute private space in their homes.

......

The East and West factories were formally established, and the Marine Corps framework has been successfully set up. It stands to reason that Ning Yuan should have nothing to worry about now, and he can safely be a shopkeeper.

But the facts are just the opposite. Ning Yuan is really worried these days.

Although the formation of the Marine Corps went smoothly, there was a problem with the weapons used by the mermaid soldiers, and the problem successfully stunned Ning Yuan.

Although the weapons and equipment that Ning Yuan prepared for the mermaid fighters were very good and suitable for them to use, a very serious problem soon appeared, that is, all the weapons began to rust.

Mermaid warriors would often dive underwater. Those weapons quickly became rusty due to prolonged contact with seawater. No matter how they were maintained, Ning Yuan would be completely stumped.

In modern times, stainless steel technology can perfectly solve this problem, but in ancient times, this was a very difficult problem.

Ning Yuan wanted to bring in modern stainless steel technology, but unfortunately, he was completely a layman.

After the game was over, he began to look through their respective information, but the terminology gave him a headache. In the end, he had no choice but to give up.

On this day, Ning Yuan came to Changxing Island to relax.

On the beach, a group of mermaid children are playing with children of other ethnic groups. They build houses with various stones and play house-to-house games.

Ning Yuan really had nothing to do, so he watched it with relish.

Children, once they get crazy, it is normal to fight.

No, after Ning Yuan watched it for a while, two children quarreled about who should be his son.

Neither of the two little guys would give in. In the end, one of the kids was out of anger and kicked the small house he built.

After kicking the house down, he felt that he hadn't calmed down yet, so he simply threw out the stones used to build the house. A few stones happened to be thrown on the beach in front of Ning Yuan.

Looking at these naughty little guys, Ning Yuan smiled and stood up and walked straight over.

He bent down and picked up the stone from the beach, wanting to return it to the children.

Just as he picked up a blue stone, his movement suddenly stopped, his eyes were fixed on the stone inside his hand, and after seeing the properties of the blue stone, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha, I really can't find any place to break through the iron shoes. It takes no effort to get it. God helps me, hahahahaha."

Blue iron ore: A special iron ore formed in the ocean, which can be smelted to produce blue iron. Blue iron has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

Ning Yuan was worrying about the weapons of the mermaid fighters now. The discovery of this blue iron ore was nothing short of a gift.

After seeing the blue iron ore, Ning Yuan swept away the depressed mood of the past, and his whole person immediately became energetic.

In order to know the source of these blue iron ore, he called all the children who were playing Jiajia over.

After careful inquiry, Ning Yuan learned that these blue iron ore were found by the children of the mermaid clan from the bottom of the sea. Seeing the bright colors of these stones, they fished them up.

"Come here, immediately let people go to Shenying City to assemble a batch of ancient trees (natural wonders) and fruits to reward these children and their families."

In a good mood, Ning Yuan generously gave these children a big gift.

When asked to get gifts for the children, he also sent a group of mermaid fighters to the barracks.

When the mermaid fighters arrived, he immediately asked the children of the mermaid tribe to take the mermaid fighters into the sea to find blue iron ore.

Under the leadership of the mermaid children, the mermaid fighters quickly found several small open-air blue iron veins.

After learning that the blue iron ore vein was found ~lightnovelpub.net~ Ning Yuan transferred all the mermaid fighters over, each with a mining hoe, and everyone went to the sea to mine.

......

When the first long sword made of blue iron was freshly released, Ning Yuan couldn't wait to throw it into the sea water.

The blue iron long sword was taken out after being soaked in sea water for a day and a night, and then it was thrown on a stone by Ning Yuan casually, allowing it to withstand the sun and wind every day.

After torturing this blue iron long sword repeatedly for a week, Ning Yuan was relieved to see the sword body that was still as bright as a mirror, and laughed so happy.

Immediately afterwards, the blue iron ore vein was set by Ning Yuan as the first-level strategic resource of the Condor Empire. Once discovered, it must be reported immediately and private possession is not allowed. Those who discover blue iron veins are rewarded heavily, and those who hide them are severely punished.

With the continuous release of blue iron weapons, the weapon problem of the mermaid clan was finally solved perfectly.
