"Yakutsk?""
O great city of North Asia in the future!""
The speed of this Tsarist Russia's eastward invasion is really fast, fortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not die in this era, and destroyed the Eastern and Tatar tribes in advance, and also marched to this area in advance, otherwise according to the original history, when the Manchus realized the ambitions of Tsarist Russia, the entire north of the Outer Khingan Mountains would become the de facto territory of Tsarist Russia, but fortunately, many of them are now the de facto territories of my Ming Dynasty."
As soon as Zhu Youxiao thought of this, he couldn't help but say: "The speed of the eastward invasion of the Rakshasa Kingdom is very fast, and we have to build cities and immigrants in these places as soon as possible. ”"Yes!"
Wang Chengen replied.Then, Zhu Youxiao instructed: "The three law divisions will revise the regulations on punishment again, reduce the punishments such as beheading, beheading, cane death, and smashing punishment, and increase the punishment of exile of 3,000 li or 5,000 li. ”"Yes!"
Bi Ziyan also replied, thinking: "Your Majesty is changing the law to stuff people in these places, but don't let Jinyiwei investigate and don't know, the speed of this Rakshasa country's eastward invasion is so fast, and now it has destroyed the Siberian Khanate, and it has even built a city by the Huo River, I am afraid that it will go south in a few decades, and if the Ming Dynasty is weakened, there may be a big external trouble." ”"Your Majesty!
This Rakshasa country is crazy to expand its territory, and if it goes on like this, it seems to Yichen that sooner or later there will be a war with my Daming, and I am afraid that more than once, the monarch of this Rakshasa country should be an ambitious person, and he has to be on guard. ”Privy envoy Zhu Xieyuan said at this time.Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "It is precisely because of this that I ignored the opposition of many courtiers, did not cut the battalion and expand the territory, just to prevent this day, so that the people of my mainland would not be affected by the disaster brought by the Rakshasa Kingdom as much as possible." ”As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao asked Tian Ergeng: "When the Rakshasa invaded the east, how did you conquer the local primitive people?"
”"Slaughter them to intimidate them, and then build cities to collect heavy taxes, and all they collect are in kind, such as mink skins."
Tian Ergeng replied."
Didn't build a factory?
Don't have a store?
”Bi Ziyan asked.Tian Ergeng shook his head: "No, the Rakshasa Kingdom doesn't seem to be interested in these, and prefers to rob directly, but because direct robbery is too cost-effective, it will be changed to require these primitive residents to pay taxes in kind on a regular basis in the later stage!"
And it's heavy. ”After hearing this, Bi Ziyan quickly had an idea, and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, it seems that my Ming Dynasty is different from the Rakshasa Kingdom, what we need now is to dump our own goods, instead of using force to plunder these mink skins, it is better to directly use our cheap cloth and soap, glass, and porcelain in exchange, so we don't need to open up our territory by mass slaughter now, because we need more primitive inhabitants to trade with us, with a large number of mink, Ginseng and even minerals are exchanged for cheap industrial products in our hands, and in addition, we need to sell our culture so that the primitive inhabitants can be more used by us and become better human resources, so it seems that my Ming will be more suitable for these primitive inhabitants than the Rakshasa country. ”"That's right, we are more civilized, and when the time comes, the Ministry of War will preach like this, and it will say that he Rakshasa is a demon from the west, we are angels from the south, and I am the Son of Heaven who represents the gods, and I believe that those primitive natives are more willing to believe in our mission, because our people will build factories, so that they can get more wealth through their own labor, and we will also sell their furs for a better price by building trade routes."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said."
Yes!"
Lu Xiangsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, replied.And then, Bi Ziyan said: "Now that the wealth of the people of our country has increased greatly, the demand for all kinds of fur products and ginseng and deer antler velvet has increased a lot, coupled with the improvement of tanning technology and wood processing, papermaking and other technologies, the demand for wood has also increased, and it is suitable to use these primitive inhabitants to provide us with many raw materials and raw materials for initial processing.
First, the labor price of these primitive inhabitants is cheap, second, it is more appropriate to produce on the spot and transport it back than to directly transport the raw materials back, and third, the fields in the customs can be vacated for cultivation to ensure the demand for food. ”"Primary factories can be relocated, but sophisticated, high-end factories and institutions responsible for research and development, do not relocate, not only can not be relocated, but as far as possible to move inward, in some human resources are abundant and easy to defend and difficult to attack the establishment of some industrial areas, in order to avoid the future if there are really big changes, and not because our Ming heavy industry base is too far on the frontier, and will soon be occupied, so that it can not be a good counterattack."
Zhu Youxiao said."
Your Majesty!
In the opinion of the ministers, Nanjing, Wuchang, Xi'an, and Chengdu can all be relocated, because these places have abundant manpower, second, convenient transportation, and third, they also live deep in the interior. ”The privy envoy Sun Chuanting, as a person who knew the soldiers, quickly understood Zhu Youxiao's strategic purpose in doing this, and he echoed it, feeling that it was necessary to do so.Zhu Xieyuan and Lu Xiangsheng are not stupid people in terms of national defense strategy, and they quickly understood, and nodded and said, "This is very necessary!"
”Bi Ziyan thought for a while and said: "Indeed, but this is also a big project, there must be a big layout, the factory equipment has to be moved over, people have to move over, these industrial technical craftsmen are not anyone can replace them, in addition, their families also have to move, let them willingly move for the imperial court to move elsewhere, take root, it is also a problem, and you have to persuade them, it is best to give some benefits, it is estimated that they will be willing, and they have to let the local government give them some preferential treatment, give land, hire some good Confucian doctors, and educate their children." to ensure their health. ”"When the time comes, you will discuss this matter and discuss it, how to arrange it, and then Bi Aiqing will personally take command of this matter, this matter is a long-term plan, no matter how much money you spend, it will be fine, not to mention that if you do this, whether it is in the northwest, southwest or southeast, it will cost a lot less in logistics and dispatch in the future, and it is also worth it."
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself that the current industrial zone of the Ming Dynasty was mainly in the area of Beijing and Tianjin, and if he really wanted to move to the mainland, it would be easier than moving from the northeast to the interior in later generations."
Obey the order!"
Bi Ziyan replied.For a time, the monarch and the ministers worked together to plan the development of the empire that would affect the next decades or even hundreds of years.To this end, Bi Ziyan made a special request to inspect the industrial zones around Beijing and Tianjin, as well as various areas in the interior with convenient transportation and relatively affluent areas.
