Of course, Liu Jin came to the grassland this time, and he didn't really come to eat mutton.

Now the grassland has become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, every day there is a steady stream of grassland cattle, sheep and horses through the Shanhaiguan into the Central Plains, if you want to eat mutton in the capital is also possible.

This time I came to the grassland, mainly to wipe Wang Shouren's buttocks.

This kid is awesome.

Really good.

At the beginning, he left 5,000 elite horsemen for him, which was originally to let him build towns on the steppe while defending against the attacks of the Warat, Shuote and Dzungar tribes.

Liu Jin ran back to the capital in a hurry, leaving Wang Shouren busy on the grassland.

After learning that the Tatar tribes were annexed by the Ming Dynasty, the Heshute and Dzungar tribes of Warat were naturally unwilling to let go of the Tatar tribes, so they quickly tried to attack the Tatar tribes.

It turned out well.

Wang Shouren relied on the 5,000 elite cavalry in his hand, plus the thousands of steppe cavalry requisitioned from the Tatar tribes, adding up to less than 10,000.

I don't know my parents who beat the Heshute Department and the Junggar Department.

In particular, the Heshute tribes, which were located in the north of the Tatar tribes (from Outer Mongolia to Lake Baikal in later generations) and were closer to the Tatar tribes, became the target of Wang Shouren's key attacks.

After several major wars, the Heshuo Special Department was directly defeated by Wang Shouren, and now had to move westward, and since then a large area of grassland south of Beihai has been incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the vast expanse of Siberia north of the North Sea, it is extremely cold and sparsely populated, with only a handful of nomadic peoples present.

At once, the Heshute tribe was defeated, forcing them to move west, leaving behind such a huge grassland.

After the imperial court learned about this, Emperor Hongzhi sent Liu Jin again, and Liu Jin was very experienced in dealing with this matter.

Just look at the current Tatar tribes, and since then, the heart of the Ming Dynasty will no longer have to worry about being threatened at all times.

Moreover, the Tatar tribes were included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and towns and markets were set up on the grassland, which not only enriched the life of the grassland herdsmen, but also benefited the Ming Dynasty a lot.

The textile mills in the Beijing-Tianjin area obtained wool, which alleviated the shortage of raw materials.

A large number of grassland sheep have entered the dining table of the people in the Beijing-Tianjin area, the price is cheap, and it is very fat, and now the mutton hot pot in the Beijing-Tianjin area has been very famous.

A large number of cattle have entered the Central Plains, and cattle are an important productive force, so that more people have their own cattle, which greatly facilitates farming.

A large number of horses also flowed into the Ming Dynasty, not only allowing the Ming army to obtain high-quality war horses, but also quickly forming a cavalry army of 50,000 people, once the 50,000 cavalry is trained, it will inevitably become an iron army that sweeps all directions.

In addition to war horses, the rapid promotion of four-wheeled carriages, the need for more and more horses, the original horses are tight, and the price has risen again and again.

Now a large number of grassland horses come in and sell them at will, which also solves the problem of insufficient horses.

In addition to these, the most important thing is the border problem of the Ming Dynasty, which disappeared all at once.

On the grassland, Wang Shouren swept away the two powerful tribes of Warat, not only the safety of the north was guaranteed, but even the west and the direction leading to the Western Regions became safe all of a sudden.

The Junggar Department was taught a hard lesson by Wang Shouren, and now he did not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step, and at the same time, he was also afraid, for fear that the next person to clean up in the Ming Dynasty would be him, so he took the initiative to send someone to the Ming Dynasty to ask for peace with the Ming Dynasty.

The reform of the Ming military system, coupled with the return of military power to the emperor, military expenditures were also taken out of the emperor's internal funds, and the combat effectiveness of the Ming army also began to soar.

Having enough to eat, drink, train every day, and be armed to the teeth, it would be strange if this combat power could not be improved.

Now the people in the Ming army are screaming, and they have no place to use their energy, and they are all thinking about finding something to fight, so that they can be promoted quickly.

"A large area from the north of the sea to the south has been included in the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and the barrier of the Liaodong region will be there, and then the Liaodong region can be developed in bursts."

Liu Jin looked at the bustling bazaar below.

As for how to wipe Wang Shouren's buttocks, Liu Jin didn't think too much about it at all.

Just copy the current model, the Tatar tribes are comfortable, and the steppe is extremely stable.

This model moved over.

Towns were built on the grassland as fixed strongholds, and points were formed into lines, and lines were formed into planes, and then the entire grassland was controlled.

As for what to do if the grassland population increases, it is very simple, immigrate to other places.

Golden Continent, Australia, Africa, some places to settle these herdsmen, anyway, in the grasslands of the north of the Ming Dynasty, the number of herdsmen is always controlled within a certain range.

Well, overgrazing will have a huge impact on the environment and is prone to desertification, so Liu Jin is now thinking about moving the grassland people out and letting the grasslands in the north of the Ming Dynasty recuperate.

Now Liu Jin thinks about Liaodong the most, and he wants to develop Liaodong at the beginning of spring.

It's just that the grassland in the west was still unstable at that time, and there was no danger to defend in Liaodong, and if there was no barrier in the west, it would be easy for something to happen.

Now that the west and north sides have been completed, the eastern Liaodong region can be developed on a large scale. 8090 Chinese

"Liaodong is a good place, the future generations of the Communist ~~ and ~~ national granary, if this Liaodong region is developed, even if the population of the Beijing-Tianjin area increases several times in the future, I am not afraid of running out of food."

"And it is very close and convenient to transport grain from Liaodong to the Beijing-Tianjin area, and you can reach Beijing and Tianjin directly from the Liaohe River into the Bohai Sea, and there is no need to transport grain from the south to the Beijing-Tianjin area."

"In addition to grain, Liaodong's rich forestry resources, coal, and iron ore resources, if these are all developed, the industry in the Beijing-Tianjin region will be guaranteed."

"What a nice place~"

Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh again in his heart, Liaodong is a treasure land, all kinds of resources are too rich, the land is black soil, and it is also a plain.

"After the development of Liaodong, you can build a port here in Vladivostok, and when the time comes, you can also build a shipyard here in Vladivostok, and you can start from Vladivostok when you go to Golden Island in the future."

Thinking of Liaodong, Liu Jin thought of Vladivostok in later generations.

That large piece of rich land was snatched away like that, there was originally an outlet to the sea in the north, and it was directly cut off later, which is really a pity and a pity.

Now that I have crossed over, I must not be able to repeat the mistakes of history.

"At the end of the day, it's still cold, it's not populated, and no one wants to go to these places."

"How to attract people to the Liaodong region is the key, there are people and everything!"

Soon, Liu Jin frowned.

"Potatoes are suitable for growing in cold climates."

"Wheat is fine, but it's too cold in the northeast, and the snow is heavy in winter, so it's really not attractive."

"But Liaodong is so close to the Beijing-Tianjin area, this will definitely not work if you don't do it, and what a good piece of land is a tyrannical thing."

After thinking about it, Liu Jin didn't come up with a good way.

In this era, it is not easy to immigrate, and you must give enough sweetness.

Of course, the simplest, most effective and direct means can also be used, using administrative orders to immigrate, and the emperor's holy decree can still solve the problem very well.

But Liu Jin didn't want to take such an approach.

Although this method can migrate a large number of people to the eastern Liaodong region, if there is no corresponding solution to other problems, it is easy for this person to migrate to the past, but it is difficult to survive.

Liaodong is not a place like Ryukyu or Nanyang.

The climate in Ryukyu and Nanyang is hot, and people can't freeze to death in winter, and they can eat enough casually, but if there are no houses, no warm clothes, and no food in Liaodong in winter, people will definitely die.

"Annoying~

Liu Jin was a little irritable, and he had a headache when he thought about it.

"Liu Jin, Liu Jin~"

At this time, Battle called Liu Jin a few times in a row, waking Liu Jin up from his thoughts.

"Oh~"

Liu Jin came back to his senses.

"Liu Jin, Hadan and Hohe also want to invest in some plantations here in Nanyang, I don't know if it will work?"

Battle had just discussed investing in a plantation.

The three of them live in the Beijing-Tianjin area, although the life is comfortable, but they have to spend money everywhere, which is also expensive, fortunately, Liu Jin took a few people to build a textile factory specializing in wool spinning, and made a lot of money.

The three of them have also tasted the sweetness of this, so they are more keen on investing in some commercial banks, and now one of the more popular investment directions in the Beijing-Tianjin area is to invest in the plantations in the Ryukyus and Nanyang.

The success of Ryukyu Castle also greatly stimulated the wealthy people in the Kyojin area, and five castles were now being built on the island at the same time, and a large number of plantations were also built around these castles, all of which were planted with sugar cane.

The sugar in Ryukyu Castle is so profitable that everyone is red-eyed.

On the Nanyang side, with the opening of the Nanyang route, there are more and more fleets going to Nanyang to do business, and the existence of Crescent City also allows the Ming Dynasty to expand rapidly in Luzon.

Around the Crescent City, on the Luzon side, there are also many people running plantations, which are also preparing to grow sugar cane to boil cane sugar.

"Yes, of course."

"In fact, if you have money, you can open a trading house by yourself, and in the future, you can also specialize in all kinds of purchases, such as buying cotton in the Western Regions, and then buying some ships to go to the Golden Continent, going to the South Seas to do trade, and even if you have the ability, you can also open up a land trade route to Europe."

"Well, when we open a route to Australia next year, the pastures here in Australia are very large, and we can also raise sheep and shear sheep in Australia at that time."

"Anyway, there are a lot of profitable transactions, and it is definitely not wrong to invest more."

When Liu Jin heard this, he smiled and replied.
