In the future, the entire administrative plan of the Wei Empire was to govern the Western Regions, Mozhou, Pingzhou, Yunzhou, and the construction of the Grand Canal.

Road construction is never stopped.

Since Guo Peng occupied Qingzhou, he has been constantly building roads, roads, and roads, vowing to connect the entire Wei Empire with official roads to achieve the final great interconnection, so as to expand and consolidate the influence of the central government unprecedentedly.

Canals will also be built in some areas to cope with the coming Xiaoice Age.

The grain storage plan should be continuously promoted, and all local governments should reserve enough emergency food to avoid famine in the northern region in the future Xiaoice period.

For this reason, the large-scale development of Jiangnan cannot be left behind.

The scale of grain cultivation in the warm areas south of the Yangtze River should continue to expand, and the overflowing population of the northern areas should continue to fill the south of the Yangtze River, and the population size of the northern areas should be constantly reduced and controlled, and the population of the northern areas should be moved to the south of the Yangtze River in order to tide over the difficulties.

At the same time, in the West, it is necessary to make every effort to maintain the operation of the Silk Road.

Commercial trade with countries such as Kushan, Sabbat, Kangju, and the Roman Empire could not be severed and must be maintained forever.

It is also necessary to continuously expand the scale of foreign trade and encourage people to do business with these countries in the Western Regions, so as to obtain enough money to promote domestic construction.

The animal husbandry industry in the northern Mozhou region must continue to be promoted, maintain the Wei Empire's control of the grasslands and understanding of animal husbandry, and continue to absorb more people to engage in animal husbandry and maintain the scale of animal husbandry.

As for the eastern Liaodong region, it is difficult to develop in the severe cold era, but its geographical location is very important, and it can burst out with great power in the warm temperature period in the future, and now it can also share a part of the population for the north, so it must not be ignored.

Maritime routes from Liaodong to the coastal areas south of the Yangtze River should also be built.

In the future, this shipping route can also play a great role, which will directly cross the limitations of time and space, connecting Liaodong and Jiangnan, and if necessary, the Wei Empire can directly coordinate and directly support Liaodong with grain from Jiangnan.

Throughout the State Council, Guo Peng showed the whole map of the empire that he had sent someone to carefully draw, and marked his plans for the future on the map one by one.

The elites of the empire looked at this unprecedentedly detailed map with a lot of emotion in their hearts.

There are a lot of marks on the map, and a lot of notes have been made, and every mark and note is the conclusion of the emperor's careful thinking.

The emperor really gave a lot to this country, and he was really promoting the construction of this country, not just expanding his power and enjoying his glory and status.

Many people didn't realize until this moment that the emperor they knew seemed to be different from the emperor in front of them.

Was this emperor a vicious authoritarian power fanatic, or a thoughtful and far-reaching political maniac?

Maybe it's neither, or both, but it's not quite.

But they knew that the roads of the Wei Empire for decades to come were on this map, all on the annotations of this map and the emperor's notes.

With the present in mind, he laid out the plan for the development of the empire for decades to come, showing the way forward for future generations.

Not only that, Guo Peng also anticipated the external problems of the Xiaoice era that the empire might face in the future.

Guo Peng's preconceived scenario was a large-scale reduction in grain production in Hebei and the Central Plains, and the imperial storage faced serious difficulties, requiring large-scale blood transfusions in the south of the Yangtze River, which triggered a military threat to the northwest plateau, northern grasslands, and northeast tundra.

For example, whether the uncertain western frontier will have large-scale military friction with the Kushan Empire, the Anxi Empire, the Kangju Kingdom, and the Roman Empire.

Although the northern steppe region has a lot of control, there are still places that cannot be mastered, whether there will be a new nomadic clan, whether the long-escaped Northern Xiongnu will make a comeback, and so on.

There are also some unconquered regions and barbarian tribes in Liaodong, and if they are not conquered, will they threaten the empire's rule in Liaodong in the future.

Each one by one is all about the assumptions and worries about the future.

"Although the achievements we have achieved at the moment are unprecedented, we will also encounter many unpredictable problems that have not been encountered by the previous dynasties, and if we cannot deal with them well, the blood shed by today's soldiers to expand the territory will be in vain."

Guo Peng finished speaking, sat down a little tired in front of the map, took a breath, and sighed worriedly.

"I can anticipate many things, but there are also many unpredictable things, but I know that some land cannot be given up, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how much it costs the country's food, the northwest, the grassland, and Liaodong, they cannot be discarded.

Once discarded, the core areas of our Wei population will be immediately threatened militarily, and once violated, the cost of this will be dozens of times that of maintaining these territories in the northwest and Liaodong.

These territories may seem to be very expensive in terms of food and money, but they can provide an important buffer against the enemy from threatening our hinterland, and can indirectly reduce the losses caused by military conflicts. ”

Guo Peng pointed to these territories that he had taken one by one: "With the existence of these frontier territories, no enemy can easily attack the hinterland of our Wei, and must pass through layers of obstacles, if these territories are gone, the places where the population is concentrated will be directly threatened."

Like the former Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu Xianbei can loot a large number of people and grain every time they plunder the land, and the buildings will also be destroyed, and the destruction will only take three days, but the construction will take three years. ”

There is naturally a standard answer to such a question.

It's not that people don't know, it's just that things have come to that point, and the empire has collapsed to the point where it can't be done.

Just like the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty were not unaware of the significance of Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of the northern defense line, but from the beginning of the Zhu Di period, the Ming government had a tendency to abandon the northern defense line established by Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhu Di, the northern defense line of the Ming Empire retreated step by step, gave up step by step, and finally gave up to the point of unbearable.

Even the Hetao area was abandoned.

By the time of Jiajing Wanli, basically the land had retreated to the point of the Qin Dynasty, which was a little stronger than the Northern Song Dynasty, at least there was the Great Wall, and the others were really not worthy of praise.

The huge territory that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di immediately gave to the Ming Dynasty was gradually abandoned because of the lack of proper governance and proper planning.

The officials shouted the slogan that if you take a step back, you will spend less food and wages, and step by step they demolished and abandoned the defense line established by Zhu Yuanzhang, directly exposing the elite areas of the inland population to the attack range of the steppe cavalry.

The results speak for themselves.

Instead of saving money, it spent more money, directly emptied the treasury, and the imperial capital was frequently exposed to the threat of nomadic cavalry, and in the later period, it was directly threatened by the Manchu Qing several times and was on the verge of collapse.

The Ming Dynasty was not without people with lofty ideals who wanted to restore the territory of their ancestors and restore the Hetao to seize the strategic initiative, but instead of receiving support, they also ended up dying.

Although the treasury expenditure of the Wei Empire was very large and the flow of funds was very large, to this day, the treasury of the Wei Empire is basically balanced.

In the eight years that the Yande era has been in use, the treasury has been able to balance its expenditures in three years, and the remaining five years have also been in a slightly deficit but not serious mode.

Many new officials were surprised by this, but some old bureaucrats from the former Han era knew about it and did not think it was a miracle.

In the pre-Han Dynasty, the huge number of manors all over the empire were destroyed a lot, although not all, but also a lot, and that part of the income was directly controlled by Guo Peng, and the treasury was certainly not short of money.

Of course, this is absolutely detrimental to the interests of the powerful landlord class.
