"In addition to equipment procurement, military facilities have been built, and the annual military expenditure is expected to be reduced to oo million yuan. ∑,...o At the same time, the imperial court will have 320,000 elite field troops and 50,000 elite naval troops at the same time." Lu Xiangsheng finally concluded: "Not only is the military expenditure reduced, but the combatable troops are about twice the current one."&1t;/p>

"This plan is good." Zhu Youxiao nodded and passed the plan formulated by the General Staff Department, saying: "Just try this plan! Try to complete this process within two years."&1t;/p>

"I obey the order."&1t;/p>

"By the way, the wild boar skin fled with the 20,000 cavalrymen, and there has been no trace until now. My dear, where do you think he would go with the 20,000 cavalrymen?" Zhu Youxiao thought of the wild boar skin at this time. This guy was obviously a hidden danger in Liaodong.&1t;/p>

Although the hidden danger is not great, the strength of the wild boar skin is greatly damaged and the territory is lost. If you want to restore your strength, there are not even people. What's more, the Ming army's cavalry is more than that of the wild boar skin. The wild boar skin just came to Liaodong to rob and rob. However, Zhu Youxiao was still worried. Moreover, the wild boar skin killed so many Han people in Liaodong, and it would be difficult to vent their anger if they didn't completely annihilate them.&1t;/p>

"I think they are likely to flee to the direction of Mongolia." Lu Xiangsheng expressed his opinion and then analyzed: "The Jinyiwei had intelligence sent back in Mongolia before. Fan Wencheng had sent a mission to Mongolia before the war, intending to connect with Mongolia and jointly deal with our Ming Dynasty."&1t;/p>

"Then now Jiannu is desperate and it is obviously unlikely to flee north. It is a cold and miserable place, with a small population and no production. There are only some barbarians who are hunting. They can't stay in the north. Then the only place they can provide them with a place to live is Mongolia. Although Mongolia is also backward, at least it still has production. Moreover, Jiannu only needs to lower his head, perhaps Lin Danhan will be happy to accept them. After all, Jiannu has fought with the Ming Dynasty over the years and has long passed the Mongolian cavalry in terms of combat power."&1t;/p>

"Mongolia!" Zhu Youxiao closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "If the wild boar skin really surrendered to Mongolia, then if Lin Danhan conquered the northern part of the Mo, then we must be prepared to attack the Mongolians. Otherwise, the Mongolians will ride on our Ming Dynasty soon and must completely integrate the combat power of the Central Army next year. A combat plan to attack the Mongolian royal city."&1t;/p>

…&1t;/p>

It has been the autumn of the third year of the Apocalypse, and the annual autumn harvest is coming again. The natural disasters in northern provinces increased a lot in the third year of the Apocalypse, and various disasters were reported to Zhu Youxiao before the autumn harvest.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao also sent out special envoys to verify the disaster situation one by one, and then reduced taxes in the affected areas.&1t;/p>

The disaster in Northern Zhili is relatively mild, because of the extensive improvement of water conservancy facilities, general drought and flood disasters will not have much impact on the agricultural production in Northern Zhili. In the autumn of Northern Zhili, sweet potatoes, corn, soybeans and other crops all have a bumper harvest.&1t;/p>

In terms of grain supply in Northern Zhili, it is basically self-sufficient, and with the output of sweet potatoes, it can even transport grain to other provinces for sale. Therefore, in the autumn of the third year of the Tianqi period, Zhu Youxiao lowered the grain export tariffs in Northern Zhili.&1t;/p>

However, in terms of cotton supply, it is still insufficient. Therefore, as the autumn harvest approaches, cotton merchants in the northern Zhili and cotton merchants in the southern region have a battle to fight for cotton in the Yellow River Delta. However, compared with last year, the cotton planting area in the Yellow River Delta has expanded a lot. Local landlords and farmers have increased the cotton planting area under the stimulation of the optimum cotton market, making the cotton price in the third year of the Tianqi revelation relatively stable.&1t;/p>

Although the disaster-affected areas in northern provinces increased, the area of ​​sweet potato planting in the third year of the Apocalypse has greatly increased, greatly alleviating the problem of food supply.&1t;/p>

After two years of vigorous promotion, many people in northern provinces finally understood what sweet potatoes are and also saw their high yield advantages. Many farmers have begun to be willing to grow sweet potatoes to prevent famine.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao's autumn harvest this year was based on the sweet potato promotion results reported by local officials, and he wrote to these officials each. After the cabinet rectified officials from various northern provinces in the past two years, a large number of officials who had contacted the grassroots level were promoted to the position of local leaders, which had shown great results in the third year of the Apocalypse.&1t;/p>

Under the governance of these officials, the overall situation in various places is stable.&1t;/p>

At this moment, Guangdong reported a memorial saying that some people were dissatisfied with the high prices of grain and caused civil rebellion in front of the yamen.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao’s first feeling was surprised, why is Guangdong short of food?&1t;/p>

However, after thinking about it, I realized that Guangdong is the sugar-producing area of ​​the Ming Dynasty and one of the main provinces for foreign trade. The land planted a large amount of sugarcane and other economic crops needed for export. This makes Guangdong lack of food.&1t;/p>

A large part of the grain required by cities and towns in Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangsu rely on Huguang to supply grain.&1t;/p>

It is certain that Guangdong is relatively wealthy, but the money is in the hands of rich people. It is inevitable that ordinary people will be unable to bear high food prices. The gap between the rich and the poor is even more serious than that in the north.&1t;/p>

"It seems that we should get rid of transporting grain from the south as soon as possible. It is best to produce enough grain in the north and supply it to the south." Zhu Youxiao immediately turned his attention to the Northeast region.&1t;/p>

The Liaoning area in later generations, which is now Liaodong, is relatively difficult to reopen. After all, even if it is caused by war and production, there are always roads and other infrastructures.&1t;/p>

But Jilin and Heilongjiang have no foundation in later generations.&1t;/p>

If the Northeast region can be opened, you can get a lot of arable land. There are three major plains in the Northeast region, namely the Liaohe Plain, the Songnen Plain and the Sanjiang Plain.&1t;/p>

At present, the 60,000 mu of arable land in Liaodong have not fully resumed production, and immigration work is urgent. The Northeast must be built as soon as possible into a grain production area that first supports the grain supply in the north. Then gradually become a grain production area that can supply grain to the south.&1t;/p>

In general, Liaodong is still short of people.&1t;/p>

Then Zhu Youxiao summoned the cabinet assistant Shen Qing in the Qianqing Palace and discussed with Shen Qing the policy of immigrating to Liaodong.&1t;/p>

"Since Liaodong has been recovered, the problem of shortage of people is actually easy to solve. Your Majesty only needs to let those enterprises with demand for recruitment go to areas with poor livelihood to recruit workers. Those poor people have a clear mind. Naturally, they are willing to immigrate." Chen Yan suggested to Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>

"As for the issue of continuing to expand northward, Your Majesty, since you have decided to use the Production Corps as a vanguard, you can sell the surrounding land to those agricultural companies after the Production Corps has built a certain foundation. It only takes seven or eight years to reclaim the areas north of Liaodong."&1t;/p>

"This method is good." Zhu Youxiao nodded and affirmed. Although it is difficult to leave his hometown, on the one hand, the people's enthusiasm for immigrating is because they are too unfamiliar with other places and do not know what the situation will be after immigration. Therefore, as long as they are still hungry in their hometown, they are often unwilling to immigrate. But if they find a job in advance and negotiate employment benefits, then I believe that many people who have a difficult life are willing to immigrate.&1t;/p>

"In addition, once Liaodong is opened, the court's fiscal revenue will increase significantly. At that time, the court's finances will not be so tight."&1t;/p>

"Then I will trouble you next and let Liaodong resume production as soon as possible." Zhu Youchao said. Chen Qing bowed and said, "I should devote myself to my work."&1t;/p>

After the war, it was naturally time to enjoy the dividends of war. The land in Liaodong had been rewarded a large number of people to the officers and soldiers participating in the war, but there was still a lot of land. In addition, the land was only part of the dividends of war, as well as the mines in Liaodong and the forest resources in Liaodong.&1t;/p>

Since the fall of Liaodong, there have been great problems in the supply of timber in northern provinces, leading to rising timber prices and other problems. After Liaodong recovers, as long as the logging farm starts to operate, it can fill the gap in timber.&1t;/p>

At the same time, Liaodong is also rich in minerals, and mining is also a piece of fat.&1t;/p>

These resources in Liaodong were quickly allocated. In addition to the rewards of land to the officers and soldiers participating in the war, other lands were auctioned publicly, and those with higher prices were awarded. In those forest areas, minerals were also distributed through public auctions.&1t;/p>

The Royal Consortium is undoubtedly the one who gets the most resources in this resource allocation, and there is no dark side in it. It is just because the Royal Consortium has enough capital, its bid is naturally higher than that of private merchants. Therefore, most of the excellent resources were bought by the Royal Consortium.&1t;/p>

These money are close to the treasury of the imperial court. Of course, for royal capital, it is just a left hand to the right hand. However, the royal consortium is not only royal capital, but an interest group formed by a large group of people. Therefore, the purchase cost is divided according to shares, so the price cannot be outrageously high and still buy it.&1t;/p>

But because the imperial court sold more resources this time, the prices of these assets are generally low and the future prospects are promising. This is inevitable. If the price does not have any moisture, it will not attract private capital to invest in Liaodong. Appropriate moisture can attract a lot of investment in Liaodong. As long as there are enough workers, Liaodong's resources will be opened soon.&1t;/p>

Although the asset sales price is lower than normal, the imperial court also earned more than 50 million yuan in fiscal revenue by selling a large amount of resources, and basically earned back military expenditure.&1t;/p>

Private capital has also grabbed a lot of resources in this auction. If they don’t want to lose money, then they will write them down to open up these resources.&1t;/p>

There are still quite a few resources in the hands of the court that have not been sold. If you throw them out at once, it will put the asset price too low.&1t;/p>

What the court next had to do was to copy the tax and administrative system of Northern Zhili to Liaodong and develop the economy of Liaodong. Whether it is a royal consortium or private capital, as long as there is investment, a large amount of commercial activities will be generated, and the court will have tax revenue.&1t;/p>

The lack of people in Liaodong is also a problem, but this problem was quickly solved.&1t;/p>

The cabinet first ordered the northern prefectures and counties to vigorously call on refugees to move to Liaodong, and the rations and travel expenses required for migration along the way from the treasury.&1t;/p>

Then, the enterprises invested in Liaodong to recruit workers and went to Jiubian, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and other places to recruit a large number of workers.&1t;/p>

This method is indeed very effective, and a large number of workers willing to go to Liaodong were quickly recruited. Of course, not all workers were willing to take their families with them, but it didn't matter.&1t;/p>

As long as the court builds the infrastructure in Liaodong well, the workers will naturally be willing to take their little family to Liaodong to settle down.&1t;/p>

Especially in areas where people's livelihood is more difficult, these workers will definitely not be willing to go back after going to Liaodong, which is rich in resources.&1t;/p>

Especially the industrial and commercial system used in Liaodong is the one in Beizhili. Whether it is a royal consortium or a private enterprise, the treatment of workers is guaranteed. When you are unemployed, the court will also provide subsidies.&1t;/p>

In addition to the large number of companies asking for confessions, the imperial court is also recruiting large numbers of workers.&1t;/p>

The imperial court sold a large amount of assets and earned more than 50 million yuan in funds. These funds will be invested in the infrastructure construction in Liaodong.&1t;/p>

The official road will be renovated, and a large number of roads that can be accessed by heavy carriages will be built to provide a foundation for commercial activities. At the same time, water conservancy will be repaired and the foundation for agricultural production will be provided.&1t;/p>

It is relatively easy to build water conservancy facilities in Liaodong. The imperial court only needs to be responsible for building major river water conservancy, such as strengthening river embankments and building reservoirs. The water conservancy facilities in the fields are built by various agricultural companies themselves.&1t;/p>

The investment of the imperial court, coupled with the investment of various enterprises, immediately turned Liaodong into a large construction site, with large-scale construction projects everywhere.&1t;/p>

A large number of workers were continuously recruited to Liaodong. A large number of infrastructure activities have led to brick and tile firing, quarrying, logging and other industries.&1t;/p>

Even in the cold winter, some construction activities still do not stop.&1t;/p>

This land returned to the Ming Dynasty and began to regain its vitality. Everything is in ruins. A large number of people suddenly poured into Liaodong, where production was withered, so food was naturally a problem. However, the grain in Beizhili just made up for this gap.&1t;/p>

With the publicity of governments and newspapers in various places, the wave of immigration to Liaodong has become increasingly high. Many people who have lived a bad life have signed up to register in the local government. After the local government registered them, they sent these people to Liaodong. The food, carriages, horses, ships and the costs of the food, horses, and ships required along the way are borne by the court.&1t;/p>

Although immigrating to Liaodong cannot obtain land or anything else, the court has borne the expenses along the way, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for those people who have had a hard time.&1t;/p>

With the arrival of the third year of the Apocalypse, more and more people registered. In one winter, the number of immigration applicants reported by various northern provinces, prefectures and counties exceeded 5 million. The cabinet approved all the conditions, and the conditions were very relaxed. After the spring, these people will be sent to Liaodong.&1t;/p>

At this time, there are a large number of infrastructure construction activities in Liaodong. After these infrastructure construction is completed, a large number of enterprise investments and production activities will occur in Liaodong, which requires a large amount of labor. Therefore, immigrants do not have to worry about resettlement issues in the past.&1t;/p>

These housing after immigrating to Liaodong are also easy to solve. In the beginning of spring, you can first set up a wooden house to live in. Then let them build houses in the urban area planned by the government, and these land will be provided free of charge by the government.&1t;/p>

People who immigrated to the past only need to bear the cost of building a house and can also borrow money from banks. Many economic activities can be generated during the construction of the house.&1t;/p>

The economy is actually driven by imbalance. The so-called imbalance is demand. In the process of meeting demand, economic activities are generated.&1t;/p>

The most basic ability that an entrepreneur needs is to be good at presenting imbalances, thereby organizing production and construction to eliminate these imbalances.&1t;/p>

Of course, even ordinary people have the ability to achieve imbalance, and the entrepreneur who can truly succeed is to create new imbalances or maintain an imbalance status.&1t;/p>

The so-called creation of new imbalance is "innovation", such as identifying a new product. Maintaining imbalance is generated through collusion between officials and businessmen, or mandatory government regulations. For example, salt tax maintains the imbalance of people's demand for salt.&1t;/p>

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had not completed basic resource allocation, so whether there is innovation or not is dispensable. It is better, and it is not difficult to worry about not having it. Currently, relying on reconfiguring resources, you can generate strong economic upward capabilities.&1t;/p>

The "Royal Institute of Science and Technology" established by Zhu Youxiao and the issuance of the Patent Law are actually to lay a new economic growth point for the Ming Dynasty to complete the basic resource allocation in the future, so that industries that emerge under innovation can drive the Ming Dynasty economy after the basic resource allocation is basically completed.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao focuses on protecting the patents of those who are wise and gives them greater returns, in order to encourage innovation. For private enterprises that can innovate, the Royal Consortium will absorb them into the consortium and purchase their shares at a high price. Instead of forcing and robbing those innovative enterprises, it will hit entrepreneurs' enthusiasm for innovation.&1t;/p>

What Zhu Youxiao needs to do next is to open up various industries so that private capital can also participate. However, the royal consortium monopolizes these industries. In the environment monopolizes of the royal consortium, only innovation can survive. Just like a tiger chasing private capital behind the scenes, they will be eaten by the tiger if they don’t run.&1t;/p>

For example, after completing the manufacturing industry, the imperial court will not only purchase products from the Royal Military Factory in the future, but will distribute procurement information and then let the consortium capital and private capital participate. Whoever's product can meet the requirements of the military and is competitive in price will choose whose product.&1t;/p>

Of course, the largest share is ultimately Royal Capital. For example, a military factory established by private capital has issued a cross-era military equipment, so the military will have to purchase a large amount of money. It is clear that the private capital military factory of this product can indeed obtain a part of the procurement share, but at the same time it will also be authorized to the Royal Military Factory for production. The Royal Military Factory can pay the private capital military factory a sum of money. At the same time, Royal Bank can also purchase its shares and absorb the private capital military factory into the Royal Consortium.&1t;/p>

The end result is that Royal Capital still monopolizes the market, and private-invested bosses who have innovated their products have also made money.&1t;/p>

Royal Capital can rudely annex merchants who are not technical but occupy the market, but they must restrain their means to achieve win-win results for both sides.&1t;/p>

The so-called innovative economic model is basically like this.&1t;/p>

The biggest demands of the people of Ming Dynasty are agricultural products such as grain, cotton, sugar, etc., as well as real estate for living.&1t;/p>

When your days are better, you will have a higher demand for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Eat better, live better, wear better, and travel more conveniently.&1t;/p>

It means that human economic development is inseparable from the core of "food, clothing, housing and transportation", and the goal is to pursue a better life.&1t;/p>

One by one, one innovation that can improve food, clothing, housing and transportation can drive new economic growth points.&1t;/p>

The economic growth point at the national level is nothing more than providing the people with a better environment or military demand for foreign wars, which can also be used as a way to drive the economy.&1t;/p>

At present, the uneven allocation of resources in the Ming Dynasty is the uneven distribution of wealth. So what Zhu Youxiao has to do is to reform the distribution of wealth in all classes of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the reform is successful, the economy will naturally grow, and the court's tax revenue will naturally increase.&1t;/p>

After the reform of Beizhili, the economy has grown rapidly.&1t;/p>

In the third year of the revelation, the economy of Beizhili became higher. Because of the change in wealth distribution, ordinary people generated a large number of demands. In the process of meeting these needs, the economy of Beizhili became completely popular.&1t;/p>

Of course, the economy cannot be hot forever. When the current imbalance is eliminated, the economy will flourish and decline. However, Zhu Youxiao prepared early and has already made people start to study steam engines.&1t;/p>

In the future, steam engines will bring about a huge social change and generate a large number of new demands. (To be continued...)&1t;/>&1t;/p>
Chapter completed!
