For the possible resistance of the Datong members who came to the meeting, Liu Ximing has long been aware of it.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Seeing that there was a lot of discussion in the venue, Liu Ximing clapped his hands and asked everyone to be quiet.

"Go and bring the map up."

Six sergeants immediately carried a huge map three zhang long and two zhang wide and placed it on the rostrum.

The entire map includes not only China, but also Korea, Japan, Annam, Luzon and other places.

The map adopts the painting method that Liu Ximing is familiar with in later generations, and all the three provinces of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty are marked with different colors, which looks very eye-catching.

As soon as the map was brought out, everyone present was attracted to it.

Liu Ximing walked to the side of the map and pointed his finger towards Nanyang.

Everyone saw that the place he was referring to happened to be the heart of the whole of China.

"You should be able to see that Nanyang is located in the Central Plains, almost the geometric center of China, from here to Liaodong, or to the Western Regions, or Jiangnan and Sichuan, the map distance is about the same."

"In addition, there is also the people's heart, Nanyang is the first area to be controlled by my Liu family other than Shunqing, and more than one million people here are the most staunch supporters of my Liu family."

"Why did Gaozu set Dingding Guanzhong back then, on the one hand, because Guanzhong was dangerous, and on the other hand, because the fathers and elders of Guanzhong were looking forward to the pot pulp of our Han regime."

"In addition, there are economic reasons, after Jiangnan was ravaged by the Qing army, the area of Nanyang and Huguang controlled by my Liu family became the most economically developed areas in the world, not to mention agriculture, industry has also begun to take shape."

The industries Liu Ximing is talking about here refer more to handicrafts, such as ceramics, tea, textiles, etc.

Because Nanyang Fucheng is not controlled by the Liu family, Nanyang's economy relies more on the development of villages of nearly 10,000 people.

But even so, in today's Chinese land, it is the only scorpion.

Speaking of this, Su Jin, who was behind Liu Ximing, smiled.

Strictly calculated, Luzon at this time was the most developed place for the Liu family's industry.

Due to the solitude of being overseas and free of all kinds of constraints, Luzon's industrial development has developed by leaps and bounds, and it is expected that it will be able to feed back to the mainland in the future.

Liu Ximing continued to knock on the map, "What's more important is that the Nanyang Basin itself is a plain, and it is very close to several plains in China, and there is a sufficient grain base to support its development, and there is no need to transfer grain from the south of the Yangtze River like the Ming Jingshi, which causes great waste." ”

As soon as he said this, Chen Zilong and the others nodded their heads one after another.

In the 300 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, 200 years have been transporting grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the north.

Although it has driven the livelihood of millions of people in Caoyun, it has also caused a heavy burden on the people of Jiangnan because of extreme corruption.

On Liu Ximing's map, the northeast of Nanyang is the Hebei and Henan Plains, and the northwest is the Guanzhong Plain.

To the southwest is the Hanzhong Plain and Chengdu Plain, and to the south is the Jianghan Plain of Huguang.

A rare and nice place indeed.

As the chief official of Nanyang, Dou Yuquan is naturally very familiar with Nanyang.

At this time, he also came out and laughed:

"Not only that, but my lord once told us that with the development of the economy and the study of physics, the metropolis of the future is likely to approach the size of 10 million or 20 million people.

In this way, the demand for water is very huge, and there are many rivers flowing through my Nanyang, and there is Hanshui in the south to communicate with the Yangtze River, and the transportation and other conditions are very convenient, and the climate is suitable, so we can enjoy the blessings of being an official here in the future. ”

"Hahaha"

There was a chuckle in the room.

Chen Zilong is quite knowledgeable about military affairs, took out a folding fan and shook it and pointed to the map:

"But what about the military? Nanyang is not a dangerous place, if the enemy army attacks in the future, it will inevitably be like the Song Dynasty. ”

Liu Ximing smiled and looked at Cao Bianjiao without saying a word.

Cao Bianjiao's burly figure flickered and walked forward, and hugged his fists at everyone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the form of war of the army under the command of King Han has changed rapidly, it can be said that it has entered the era of hot weapons from the era of cold weapons, and in modern warfare, the impact of natural hazards on war will shrink rapidly."

"Let's take a chestnut, now our artillery can hit 7 to 8 miles, and with the development of new gunpowder, this distance will be expanded."

"What's more, I heard that the Ministry of Industry in Luzon is already developing a weapon that is called a missile, and it is said that it will be able to attack the enemy from a distance of 100 miles or even 1000 miles in the next few decades, so that there is no point in danger."

"Hiss"

Cao Bianjiao's words made everyone in the venue gasp.

Huang Zongxi, Chen Zilong and others looked at each other in amazement.

Being able to attack the enemy from thousands of miles away, what kind of immortal means is this.

They still know a lot about Liu Ximing's personality, and they shouldn't lie specifically for today.

The Ming Dynasty was unjustly defeated.

Liu Ximing still smiled at this and said nothing.

What Cao Bianjiao said is a bit exaggerated, if you want to develop to that extent, I am afraid that it will take a long time, but this does not prevent me from looking at this matter in the long run.

"Okay, I have already told you the reason from many aspects such as politics, economy, transportation, and military, do you still have any questions about Dingdu Nanyang?"

"I'm convinced!"

Liu Ximing nodded happily, "Nanyang City is too small, this time I plan to build a new city in the Nanyang Basin, a brand new city, and the name will be Tianjing." ”

"The city will use Luzon's latest urban construction concept, without building city walls, laying an underground pipeline system in advance, and planning and reserving for future urban development, which will be the first modern city in the history of human civilization."

Everyone in the venue was infected by Liu Ximing's slightly fanatical tone, and many people cheered directly.

Only Xia Yunyi and others were a little worried.

"Lord", Xia Yunyi came out of the ranks, "Is the construction of a new city too burdensome to the people of the world, if the construction is not settled today, I am afraid that the people of the world will think that I am a profligate man." ”

"Hahaha", Liu Ximing laughed and pointed at Su Jin, "Premier Su, you come to tell everyone about economic problems." ”

Su Jin stepped forward with a smile and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know how much silver there is in my Han treasury now?"

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Su Jin proudly compared four fingers.

"That's 637,580,000 taels."

"Wow"

At this moment, everyone in the venue did not gasp, but directly exclaimed.

More than 600 million taels of silver! What is this concept?

Liu Ximing, Su Jin and the others looked at each other and smiled.

More than 600 million taels of silver already accounts for half of the world's wealth, and this number will continue to soar when the Tartars are expelled.

There is the silver earned by the Liu family's business system for many years.

The Liu family system has been using money tickets, and gold and silver have naturally been kept in the treasury.

On the other hand, more money and goods were collected from the hands of rogues, clans, and gentry.

Thanks to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the gold and silver treasure porters and transportation captains, the Han army confiscated hundreds of millions of taels worth of silver in Shanxi alone.

It is precisely with such financial figures that Liu Ximing has the confidence to say that he wants to build a Datong society.

Su Jin blushed and said proudly:

"Don't worry, the lord has long said that this money comes from the people, and it will naturally be used by the people."

"What I want to say now is that the lord should mean that through the construction of Tianjing City, a part of the wealth will be distributed to the people, and my Han will never exploit the people through labor like feudal dynasties such as the Ming Kingdom."

"So everyone will understand, in my Han jurisdiction, the construction of a large number of people is not only not a derogatory term, but also a good thing for the benefit of the people, and the promotion of China's economy in the future will mainly rely on this way to promote......

The more Su Jin spoke, the more excited he became, and the troika that drove economic growth, consumer demand, investment demand, and external demand all came out, and Chen Zilong, Huang Zongxi, and others were unaware of it.

Huang Zongxi looked at Huang Zonghui who listened to it with relish, and the shock in his heart was incomprehensible.

There is obviously also a hand of Huang Zonghui in this.

Has his younger brother, who used to be called a madman, grown up to such a point now?

Huang Zonghui suddenly felt an itch on his face, and when he turned his head, he saw that his brother was staring at him in shock, and he couldn't help but show his white teeth and smile.

See, if Liu Wujiang is not a great talent, how can he attract everyone's loyalty.
