Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 10 Development

When Morun's obese figure disappeared behind the door, Wufeng gently lay back on the easy chair, enjoying the moment of tranquility with the rocking of the easy chair, but the thoughts in his mind brought him involuntarily. The seventeenth princess came.

It seems that this little girl is really not simple. Could it be that Situ Mingyue and He Zhiqiu really want her to play a special role when they put her by their side? It seems that this little woman is really not a vase. She gave herself such a trick when she came here, and she actually wanted to meet the leaders and representatives of the nomads. But this is in the northwest, so she took her princess status as a princess too much. Yes, thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Wufeng's mouth.

Wufeng expected Xiao Tang and Su Qin to come hand in hand. A night of affection and love did not affect his energy at all, so it was time to get back to business. Reports from various aspects of the Northwest, but it cannot be compared with personally knowing the specific situation of various aspects. After more than half a year, Wufeng has indeed been held back for more than half a year. A little adjustment from time to time in the intense and exciting work, this is in line with the principle of relaxation.

After listening to Xiao Tang's government work report, Su Qin made some supplements on diplomacy. Although Su Qin's position has not yet been clarified, he has become the de facto number two figure in the Northwest government system. limited to foreign affairs.

Wufeng was very satisfied with Xiao Tang's report, especially the substantial transfer of finances. To a certain extent, it is fighting logistics and fighting a war of attrition. Without sufficient material preparations, it is impossible to support a war, and all of this naturally has to be about money.

Qingyang's financial situation is particularly gratifying. After several years of rapid development, the loans and loans originally developed at the beginning of this year have gradually expired, and ordinary people have begun to repay small loans. The policy has also expired, so the fiscal revenue has increased exponentially, making Qingyang's finances turn into a huge surplus from last year's mere maintenance, and the amount turned over to the county-level finances has also increased several times. Jinzhou's financial situation is already good. It has been the financial pillar of the entire Northwest in the past few years, and its growth rate has been very rapid this year. It is no small matter, and it still ranks first in the county in terms of the amount turned over to the county-level finances.

The situation of Guide and Bonan is basically the same, both are still in the period of rapid recovery, but their development speed is quite amazing, especially the ceramic and glass industries of Guide, Salt and Wine and Bonan are showing a thriving trend At present, the number of investments attracted by foreign businessmen has continued to soar, and the financial situation has also increased greatly. Now they can basically maintain their normal operations, and the government's investment in infrastructure has gradually increased.

The transportation conditions of the four prefectures have also been greatly improved. The main roads connecting the four prefectures have been completely completed, which greatly improved the transportation conditions. Some river sections have also been rehabilitated, and several inland wharves have been built, enabling some small-tonnage ships to go up to Jinzhou Fucheng, which greatly promoted the export of Jinzhou goods, especially timber, furniture and medicinal materials. The number of overseas shipments of such goods has increased significantly, which is also a major reason for the rapid economic growth of Jinzhou.

Bonan Prefecture has also responded by making efforts to improve infrastructure. In Mashoe Town, where the Taiping River flows through Bonan, a medium-sized inland river hub is gradually forming. Here, another one originates from the Dahengduan Mountains The famous rivers - the Miluo River and the Taiping River meet, and flow mightily to the southeast to Longdong and Hanzhong. Many bulky goods such as pottery, porcelain, wine, wood, grain, oil, cloth, ironware, and tools are transferred here, or they are transported eastward to the Central Plains by ship or river, or they are landed here and transported to Bonan Prefecture by land transport. , and then transported from Bonan Prefecture to various parts of the Northwest, Horseshoe Town to Bonan Prefecture has become the busiest section of the entire Northwest Commercial Road.

The situation in Northern Luzon is also very optimistic. Due to the strong deterrence of the First Division and the First Infantry Division in Northern Luzon, the stubborn remnants who were worried at first could not stir up any troubles at all, while the Bashan Gu family and Xueshan Pai's timely entry into development has also relieved a lot of pressure on the local internal affairs department.

The extensive and profound charm of the martial arts of the Tang nationality has attracted many children of the middle and lower classes from various ethnic groups to participate, and even many children of the upper classes have been deeply attracted and joined these two schools. The glory of these two sects has attracted the envy of many sects in the Central Plains, and they have asked to establish a foothold in Northern Luzon. , but Wufeng pushed the ball back to Northwest County on the grounds of ignorance of the situation, and has not yet allowed other Jianghu sects to enter Northern Luzon.

The road from Vito City to Qingyang City in the east was completely completed in May. Xiao Tang attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the completion of the road on behalf of the Northwest Military and Political Governor's Mansion and the Northern Luzon Governor's Mansion. Over the past few months, they have inspected the two prefectures of Northern Luzon, and conducted extensive contacts with representatives of various ethnic groups in the entire Northern Luzon area, and conducted comprehensive discussions on various issues such as economic development and urban construction, and achieved very good results.

The road construction project from Shuangdui City to Vito City was also officially launched at the beginning of the year. Both sides are going hand in hand. It is expected to converge at Huokou Town (under the jurisdiction of Vito Prefecture) where the First Independent Infantry Division of Northern Luzon in the central part is stationed. , the project is progressing smoothly and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. The construction of the Zijingguan Fortress is nearing completion. The main project is expected to be completed in October, and the rest of the auxiliary projects will also be completed before the end of the year. By then, two soldiers from the Shuangduifu Garrison Division will be stationed there.

Because a large number of Gaoyue people moved out from the Hengduan Mountains, they brought sufficient labor for road and urban construction. According to preliminary statistics, more than 100,000 people in Northern Luzon moved out from the Hengduan Mountains to settle in the plains. Since Wufeng strictly required the two prefectures of Northern Luzon to implement the principle of ethnic equality formulated by themselves and not discriminate against the Gaoyue people, the relocation did not bring too many problems, but instead provided abundant and cheap labor. Not only infrastructure construction, but also the number of coffee plantations in the area near the Grand Duchy in the south of North Luzon has doubled. The reason is that apart from feeling that the situation is gradually calming down and the newly established self-made government policies are more favorable, a large number of The influx of immigrants is also an important reason.

It is not only the Gaoyue people who moved into the North Luzon area, but also more than 50,000 Indian people of all ethnic groups who moved from the Indian Kingdom to North Luzon. In addition, it is also mainly due to the severe floods suffered by the Indian Kingdom last year, which caused food harvests in many areas to fail. The policy is loose, and the self-government does not strictly control the immigration conditions, so it is rushing eastward.

The self-government is very welcome, because the Indians are the best farmers and workers. The long-term national characteristics determine that they are not good soldiers, nor are they good officials. engaged in agriculture and handicrafts. Their arrival can greatly promote the relatively backward economic development of these two regions, especially agriculture.

The iron mine in Shuangdui Mansion near Wusun State has entered the final construction stage before development. A large number of immigrants have entered here, hoping to find a place to settle down with their own skills. Luman, the governor of Shuangdui Prefecture, sold at a high price and divided the iron mine into 100 shares, the autonomous government accounted for 50 shares, and the other 50 shares were divided into 10 shares for Andeans and 10 shares for Coopers according to the population ratio of each ethnic group. 10 shares for the Purich people, 10 shares for the Tang people, 5 shares for the Indians, 1 share for each of the 5 tribes in the green sea swamp in the west, and each share is priced at 20,000 imperial gold coins. Ten shares, but responsible for the mine's road and traffic construction, and the remaining fifty shares are divided among the various ethnic groups, and the profits obtained each year are distributed in proportion to the number of shares held, except for the necessary development funds.

The most primitive joint-stock mine this time is due to the fact that the self-government cannot provide more funds to develop the mine, but it cannot be delayed, because Wufeng has personally written to Luman asking him to mine the first batch within a year The ore is for the need. In this case, Lu Man launched this plan with the consent of Xiao Tang and Su Qin.

Originally, the merchants of all ethnic groups never thought that there would be such a good thing. As soon as this plan was launched, it immediately caused an uproar among the merchants of all ethnic groups. The merchants asked to buy, but the number of shares was limited. The self-government issued a new rule that only merchants who have joined the Shuangdui Prefecture Chamber of Commerce can purchase, but it was still not enough to solve this problem~IndoMTL.com~ Later, it had to allow several people to buy one share, and then reluctantly passed the plan It was done, and the five tribes of the Green Sea Swamp, who were not very interested in it, didn't have much interest at first. Seeing that the competition was so fierce, they all invested in and bought another share.

It is said that as soon as the dust settled for the first purchase of shares, some businessmen immediately bought them at a price that was twice the price stipulated by the government, that is, 40,000 gold coins, but no one was willing to sell them, and finally someone bought them at a price of 60,000 gold coins Until a deal is made.

According to Mr. Xiao Ji, a famous economist later in the empire, commented in "A View of the Early Economic Development System of the Empire": "This is the first time that the world has been created. Although it is very simple and rough, such a large mine is only a mere one hundred It seems so ridiculous now, and there are many irregularities in the middle, such as the qualification of stock options must be a member of the chamber of commerce with a semi-official nature, but all of this can not cover up one point, then After all, it marks the beginning of a new type of ownership.”

With the backing of this one million gold coins, the development progress of the iron mine has been greatly improved. The early construction, land planning and recruitment of workers have all gone smoothly, and the simple road promised by the government has also been completed. It is basically completed, and the first batch of ore will be mined and shipped out in November as planned.

The Gaoyue settlement in the eastern part of Weituo Prefecture has also been completely brought under the management of the local self-government government. Thanks to the reference of Jinzhou Prefecture, there is not much change in it. The management established by the Gaoyue settlement in Jinzhou Prefecture The model won the approval of the Gaoyue people in Northern Luzon, so everything went very smoothly. Even many Gaoyue residents from other countries traveled thousands of miles to come here, hoping to become a member here.
