75. National development plan
Of course, since the road to UNRW Castile is not clear, Tim has considered the strategy of UNRW Castile and then attacking Castile in the middle, but this idea was soon rejected by him.
Because this strategy is really difficult, if one day we really unite Aragon, but because there is such a big place in the middle, it will be a problem for the two places to go back and forth, especially when a war breaks out, commanding the army and issuing orders is a problem.
Therefore, looking at the Iberian Peninsula, Tim started to think about the Iberian Peninsula.
Although the unification can obtain the throne and crown of a country at the fastest speed and easiest way, the centralized centripetal force and national cohesion of the country are very difficult to form, because at that time, we have to face a powerful aristocratic group that is embraced in a group.
Therefore, Iron-blooded War is the best way to resolve all contradictions and obstacles. When the royal power and noble privileges collide with each other and cannot be negotiated and resolved, nothing is more realistic than a shot. Only under Iron-blooded war can the formation of the king's absolute power be promoted at the fastest speed.
Moreover, in this special period of the medieval European continent, once a country took the lead in completing the establishment of a unified nation-state, then the country would undoubtedly win the first place at the starting line of history. Spain and Portugal in their previous life are typical examples.
And if you want to defeat Castile and other countries with your current strength, you must upgrade the soldiers' weapons.
Although artillery has been introduced to medieval Europe, the armies of various countries cannot fully exert the full power of artillery, nor can they create various artillery weapons. Therefore, the country's army is still equipped with swords, and the entire Europe is still in the era of cold weapons.
It seems that I am about to push the Portuguese Army into the era of gunfire.
Tim soon determined the country's development plan.
Priority should be given to the development of heavy industry and shipbuilding, especially the establishment of weapons industry and warship industry.
Of course, when developing heavy industry, light industry must not be ignored, otherwise you will embark on the deformed development path of the former Soviet Union in the previous life.
As for how light industry develops, Tim decided to use navigation trade to drive the development of light industry.
Although Portugal is a small country, it is quite costly and manpower to carry out such a huge project at the same time across the country.
Therefore, Tim decided to carry out pilot construction first, first develop Lisbon, then develop Porto, Algarve and Selibia, and finally, the economic line formed by the four major port cities began to gradually expand into the country in turn.
To get rich, build roads first. Tim knows this principle better than anyone else.
Let’s take a look at the existing roads in the country. Tim was ashamed. Now there are dirt roads all over the country in Portugal. This dirt road will become muddy when it rains, which completely blocks the communication and circulation of economy and people. Such a backward transportation system completely drags down the country’s rapid development.
If the country does not have convenient and clean driving roads and a huge and dense transportation network to support it, then all construction is free of negotiation. After all, the transportation system is the blood of a country and maintains the circulation of national economic goods, which is naturally unscathing.
Based on his own situation and current productivity, Tim could only start by building a gravel road. Although he really wanted to build a cement road directly, he had no conditions and had to give up.
The day after Tim made the decision, everyone in Lisbon discovered that there were signs on the conspicuous city.
I saw that it read:
Do you want to change your destiny under poverty? Do you want to get rich and live a good life? Do you want to have a lot of gold, silver and treasures to buy everything you want? Now your opportunity is here.
Your Majesty is kind and benefits people's livelihood. Seeing that the roads on Lisbon are muddy, it hinders everyone's convenient travel. Therefore, Your Majesty decided to rebuild the roads of Lisbon's big and small streets. Now you urgently need relevant personnel. No matter what your identity is, as long as you have a plan and a concept plan, you can sign up at the palace. If you are selected by Your Majesty, then getting rich and changing your destiny is not a dream.
Tim's seal was also stamped at the end to show the authority of this document.
Looking at the document, everyone was excited. Who wouldn't want to change their destiny? Who wouldn't want to have a noble identity and extremely attractive gold? Who would want to live like this for the rest of their lives? Therefore, everyone would want to go to the palace to sign up.
"Opportunity, this is really an opportunity. My way to get rich is here. Beauty is money, wine, hahaha." A drunk man slapped the fat meat on his body and shook the earth and shook the mountain.
A man next to him looked at his proud look and couldn't help but laugh: "You can pull it down, what are your abilities besides being able to eat, drink and pull it? Do you have such talent? You see clearly. Your Majesty has clearly stipulated below that you must come up with a clear solution to road construction, otherwise you won't think about getting away with it."
"I'm not capable anymore. You can wait, I can definitely take it out." The drunk man blushed and gritted his teeth and turned around and ran to his home.
Everyone burst into laughter: "Can he come up with a solution? Oh my God, I'm afraid that prostitutes will have to change their minds and become human again."
"That's right, wait until the fish will eat people, and then see if he can come up with a plan."
Although the crowd was very excited, few people really dared to go to the palace to register. After all, they still knew how much they were.
Carter stood in the crowd and looked at the official document carefully. The more he looked, the more excited he became, the more excited he was. In the end, he fell into a state of madness.
"The opportunity is here." His eyes were blushing red, and he murmured to himself.
His background is not very good. Compared with others, he always feels that he is inferior to others, not for anything else, but for the son of a slave, so his identity is also a slave.
Carter has been trying to find ways to change his destiny, to get rid of his humble identity as a slave, and to get rid of his identity as a cruel exploitation of his always in the lower class of society. He has done a lot of things and paid a lot. No matter how hard he works, he has always failed.
