Chapter 245: The Qin Army Triumphed
After September, the empire entered the dry season, which was the best period for the construction of the old Yellow River. The increase in the number of students in civilized schools has made the construction of the old Yellow River no longer short of labor.
The opening of the new Yellow River Road will cut off the flow of the old Yellow River during the dry season, which will not only facilitate the dredging of the old Yellow River Road, but also facilitate the repair of the river channel.
In order to ensure that the Old Yellow River Road is completed during the dry season, the Cabinet invested 10 million students to renovate the Old Yellow River Road at one time.
Along the renovation of the old Yellow River Road, there is a hot construction climax. From upstream to downstream, the entire route of the old Yellow River can be clearly seen, with tens of thousands of students working hard to excavate and dredge the river.
The dredging and construction of the old Yellow River is definitely a major cross-century project. It was not the same tinkering and finishing work as the Six Nations used to do, but a combination of dredging and excavation, and it was an all-round renovation.
The members of the cabinet were very concerned about this, and sent a large number of officials to supervise and coordinate, so that as long as the matter related to the old Yellow River was resolved, it was resolved as soon as possible.
There is no way, cabinet members are also human beings, and if they are human beings, they will have pursuits.
Xiao He knew that it was definitely a famous thing to be able to build the old Yellow River during his term of office. The world will remember who built the old Yellow River Road.
For the enthusiasm of cabinet members, Ye Tong will certainly not object. Knowing the good names of the ancients, as long as it is something that can last for centuries, he will be very attentive.
It is precisely because of the support of the cabinet that the cabinet fully supported the construction of the old Yellow River Road, whether it was capital, technology, food, building materials, machinery, etc.
Of course, the construction of such a huge project as the old Yellow River Road will definitely lead to a series of industrial development. Not to mention, machinery manufacturing, cement, building materials, quarries, transportation, greening and other industries directly benefit, and many industries are indirectly benefited.
Whether it is an indirect or direct benefit, once productivity goes up, taxes are inevitable. This contributed to the growth of the empire's tax revenue.
Some people will say that the construction of the Yellow River is costly and laborious, but in fact, there is only one aspect of spending money. The most important thing was that the empire's economy developed at a high speed and tax revenues increased.
What's more, the human resources for the construction of the Yellow River Road do not cost money, and all of them are free of charge from students. If human resources are really included in the cost, the cabinet really can't afford it.
In response to the construction of the old Yellow River Road, magazines and newspapers such as the Imperial Focus and the Imperial Daily have reported on the progress of the project.
Of course, there are different voices at all times, and the establishment of civilized schools by the empire is also subject to many doubts. In particular, some pedantic scholars say that they are unrighteous and immoral.
For those noises, Ye Tong did not make a ruthless move, but adopted a very soft approach. Let those who have doubts invite them to the Hundred Schools of Debate Hall for debate. If you don't dare to go, keep your mouth shut.
Ye Tong's purpose in setting up the debate hall was of course not for any false fame, but to serve the empire. There are different voices, and there is no need to take strong measures and directly let the debate hall come forward.
Some organizations and individuals who are stubborn and always spread different voices must still be held accountable. Society needs harmony in order to develop. Once there are all kinds of voices in the society, it will not work.
If you don't say anything else, let's just talk about Yingchan, which is not completely yourself, and your speech is also controlled. It's not that you can say whatever you want, it's absolutely impossible.
Someone would say human rights?
Hehe!
Human rights are also on the basis of national stability, and if all countries are unstable, what kind of human rights can we talk about? Don't be funny, human rights are also limited, and you can't do whatever you want.

Taking Beihai, the Qin army advanced west and north, which meant the end of the Northern Expedition. The capture of tens of millions of Huns made the number of students in the civilized school increase dramatically again, greatly alleviating the shortage of labor in the empire.
After the end of the Northern Expedition, the Qin army began to return. Only the Dragons and the Imp Legion were left to garrison in the north. At the same time, the Second Army Corps cooperated with Jiang Song's corps to march westward, hoping to take the western region in the shortest possible time.
The western region mentioned here is not the original western region, and the area has greatly expanded, reaching the West Sea and the Ula Mountains. Directly take over Wusun, Dawan, Xiaowan and other areas.
Ye Tong, Chen Ping, Hua Mulan, Mu Guiying and others returned to Chang'an by spaceship, and their soldiers also took the spaceship. It's just that soldiers can't be transported all at once, it takes time.
After returning to Chang'an, I met Yu Ji and Xu Cheng, two beauties. After not seeing each other for a long time, the two of them have become more and more delicate and feminine.
Ye Tong and Yu Ji sat in the garden chatting. Yu Ji didn't rely on people, she started a fashion magazine and a radio station, and her development was very good.
Today is the ceremony of the Imperial Northern Expedition army entering the city, and since it is a temporary intention, there is no preparation. The soldiers' clothes were combat uniforms, and they did not change their clothes, and they entered the city directly in combat uniforms on the battlefield.
At first, some cabinet members felt that this was inappropriate and asked the soldiers to change their clothes. Later, after Ye Tong found out about this, in a word, what's wrong, isn't it just a ceremony to enter the city?
Soldiers fight in combat uniforms on the battlefield, and now they are in the city, why change their clothes, that's it. It can also reflect the heroic posture of the soldiers.
In that case, the soldiers are all dressed in combat uniforms, and the key is that the old and the new are different. Some of them still have blood stains on their bodies, and some of them have holes.
However, no matter what, the spirit of the Qin soldiers was absolutely good. Ye Tong didn't ask to take the right step, he just felt that he could go as he wanted, and he didn't have to ask too much.
Soldiers have experienced life and death, and what clothes do they care about. Of course, the soldiers still gave Ye Tong a lot of face, and after entering the city, they couldn't help but walk neatly, looking neat.
The second test on the street was full of people welcoming the soldiers home, and the scene was really lively.
Imperial Radio, which has just been launched, specially sent reporters to report on the spot.
Listeners and friends, hello everyone, I am Hu Yue, and now I will explain to you the achievements of the Imperial Northern Expeditionary Army, and today the Northern Expeditionary Army will return triumphantly .......
Now it has always been the First Corps of the Empire, and the commander is General Mulan, who everyone is very familiar with. This is an army ...... that was established first and fought very strongly.
Now coming is the Fourth Corps, commanded by General Mu Guiying, an army that was formed relatively late. However, since its formation, it has set ...... for the empire.
In general, the first corps and the fourth corps of the empire fought together, annihilating tens of millions of Hun iron cavalry and capturing as many as 24 million Huns, which played a role in promoting the smooth progress of major projects of the empire......
After the return of the Qin army, the local elites were all thrown into various military schools by Ye Tong, some of them entered the Progressive Military School, some entered the Naval School, and some entered the Artillery School, Command School, Communication School, etc.
The system does not need to be produced, it only needs to go to Dingjun Mountain to instill knowledge, but the local elite cannot, so they can only go to school honestly, and the experts and scholars in the school will tell about various wars.
Ye Tong hoped that the local elites could cultivate several excellent commanders through learning. After all, the production of the system can only be done to the level of the corps commander, and it is too difficult to be promoted again, only Lin Xiao is an exception, and the rest are only corps commanders, not a corps commander.
This does not include the famous generals and famous marshals produced by the system.
-----------------------
Half a month later, at the invitation of the General's Mansion, the empire's influential business groups, enterprises, and companies gathered in Chang'an.
At the end of the Northern Expedition, Jiang Song and Fan Zeng were in charge of the Western Expedition, and Ye Tong entered the stage of leisure and vacation. After thinking about it, Ye Tong felt that he should take a walk outside and learn about the situation in this world.
To this end, the responsible persons of merchants, enterprises, and companies were invited to Chang'an for a meeting to study the issue of ocean trade in detail.
In the garden of the Great General's Mansion, Yu Ji asked puzzledly: "General, is ocean trade really profitable?" ”
Hehe!
"Yu Ji, ocean trade is indeed very profitable, but it depends on what kind of commodity it is. Western countries lack a large number of high-quality fabrics, especially silk, which is a sought-after commodity. Of course, products such as ceramics can also make money, in China, a saucer only costs a few dimes, and in Western countries, it is calculated in gold. ”
Yu Ji has textile factories, garment factories, leather factories and other enterprises, once it can be sold to the outside world, the effect will be very good.
"General, what's the costume?"
"It should be easy to sell! However, the size should be larger, and you can't follow the convention, so you have to increase the number. After all, Westerners are tall and big. By the way, it seems that the ceramic factory has also been transferred to your name, and when the time comes, it will produce more ceramics, preferably blue and white ceramics, which should be very good to sell. ”
There is really no way, Yu Ji's industries are really a lot, including textile groups, leather goods groups, Jixia groups, transportation groups, imperial broadcasting companies, fashion magazines and other enterprises.
Those industries are all large enterprises and large companies, and any one of them is pulled out, and their strength is the top existence. Yu Ji is not like Xu Ying and Lu Pheasant, who is good at officialdom and bad at business behavior.
Yu Ji's company was built because it was necessary to solve those palace maids, and then it became more and more out of control and developed better and better, which created such a big industry.
"By the way, Yu Ji, how is the situation between you and Xu Cheng and Mrs. Qin?"
"It seems to have entered the late stage, and there is still a little distance from Yudan. However, Mrs. Qin seems to be about to get married, and she doesn't know why. ”
Shame!
Mrs. Qin's body is pure yin, and the progress after double cultivation is very fast. This point can't even be compared to Ye Tong, and Mrs. Qin also gets benefits from getting together, but compared to her, the speed is really too slow.
As for Xu Cheng and Yu Ji, there are definitely benefits, but they are not as big as Mrs. Qin. But fortunately, Ye Tong got married, and the benefits obtained by the two were very great, more than Ye Tong.
"Mrs. Qin is because of her physique, so she is progressing faster."
"General, the slave family really wants a child."
Alas!
"Yu Ji, didn't you say okay? When both of you get married, it's not too late for us to have a baby. What's more, we are all still young and have a lot of time to make children. ”
Ye Tong can understand Yu Ji's thoughts, usually it's fine, just stay alone, and he will definitely think about it. If you have a child, you have something to rely on, and you don't have to worry about anything.
It seems! I really have to have a child, I can't always pursue what kind of knot, I can also have children without knots, but I am a little weaker at the level of life.
