Chapter 502: In-depth development
Due to the defeat in the war, the country lost nearly half of its country, and its remaining strength was simply not enough to recover the lost territory, so it had no choice but to ask Yunnan and other three parties for peace.
And Uwe's side no longer had enough strength to completely wipe out the remnants of the country, so after the war stalemate for more than a month, Uwe had no choice but to agree to the country's request for negotiations. In addition, Yunnan and Zhenxiong also wanted to end the war as soon as possible, and the four sides hit it off and sat together to sign a treaty on land division and rule.
According to this treaty, the state recognized the fact of defeat, no longer claimed the lost territory, and recognized the rule of Jiudong and Eighteen Zhai in Qianxi. In this way, the territory of the rule of the Nine Caves and Eighteen Villages has been extended to the Yachi River and the Beipan River Basin, and more than a dozen prefectures and counties such as Zhenning, Ziyun, Zhenfeng, Anlong, Guanling, Pu'an, and Puding, which originally belonged to the Qiqi Kingdom, have all been under the rule of the Nine Caves and Eighteen Villages.
And Uwe did not break his promise, and the three places of Yihe County, Weilong Town, and Dewo Town in the south of the Qiqi Kingdom were all assigned to Yunnan and a cession agreement was signed. And Zhenxiong also got his wish to get the Wuyang Mountain area, and immediately started to build Wuyang Pass, from now on you can go directly to Gulin Avenue, and can hold on this choke point, no longer need to worry about the threat of Shu.
At the same time, the state of Qiqi compensated Yunnan and Zhenxiong for military expenses of 1,000 taels of gold, 50,000 taels of silver, 500 head of cattle, and 1,000 sheep to compensate Yunnan for the losses suffered in the war. In addition, Pu Li, the king of Qiqi, changed his previous policy of closing himself off from the country, agreed to the request for trade with Yunnan, and opened Wangmo Prefecture as a mutual market for border trade, so as to facilitate trade between the two sides.
After this war, which was very costly, Yunnan Pingbai gained three strategically located towns, and from then on it was much easier to travel to the capital and the rest of the Han Dynasty.
And the gold and silver obtained, Li Yi is ready to contribute all to the imperial court, in order to win the favor of the emperor Liu Yan, after all, Yunnan did not obtain the consent of the imperial court in this foreign war, if it is seriously investigated, he will also be to blame.
Therefore, while the capital is building a large number of buildings, it is a time when there is a shortage of gold and silver, and dedicate these yellow and white things that are insignificant to Yunnan to Liu Yan, what else can he say!
As the saying goes, stretching out your hand and not hitting the smiling face, Yunnan won a complete victory in this war and expanded a considerable amount of territory for the Han Dynasty, Liu Yan has no reason to blame himself.
After the end of this war, there was no longer any threat from the surrounding areas of Yunnan, and Li Yi was ready to turn all his energy to economic construction. Under the overall arrangement of Li Yi and the direct operation of Lin Jin, the expansion of Ningzhou City is in full swing.
Because of adhering to the idea of benefiting the people, it has also received the strong support of the majority of people in Yunnan, coupled with sufficient funds and abundant human resources, the construction speed of Ningzhou New City has also been greatly accelerated, and it is believed that it will be completed in less than two years.
The newly established Yunnan Bank, which has won the trust of the people because of the guarantee of the government's reputation, has raised a large amount of funds, and its own strength has been continuously enhanced, and its support for Yunnan's economy has become stronger.
As long as ordinary people need funds, whether they are doing business, investing in farmland and water conservancy construction, or even repairing and building houses at home, as long as there is someone to guarantee them, they can borrow funds from Yunnan Bank.
For poor families in Yunnan, while the government subsidizes them, the Bank of Yunnan will also provide them with interest-free loans to support them to do some small business, buy small plots of land, and help them in life.
The development of Yunnan commercial banks is also thriving, and the trade with the neighbors is very frequent, and the tentacles have extended as far as Wangmo Prefecture in the country of Qiqi. Trade with other feudal towns in the Han Dynasty has also been launched, but the volume of trade is not very large, and it needs to be further improved.
At present, the biggest problem of Yunnan commercial banks is that the trade varieties are single, the industrial scale is too small, and their own strength is too thin. Looking at the trade types of Yunnan commercial banks, they are only a limited number of varieties such as books, Chinese patent medicine, cotton, wheat, jade, porcelain, iron agricultural tools, etc., and most of them are not competitive, and they cannot form any market appeal at all, so the economic benefits are not very good.
The Yunnan Commercial Bank and Lin Qingliang's Zhenghe Commercial Bank were established almost at the same time, but now they have only about one-tenth of the Zhenghe Commercial Bank in terms of scale and efficiency, after removing the Tangdan copper mine, and the development speed is seriously backward.
The most promising development of Yunnan Commercial Bank is the Tangdan Copper Mine. According to Li Yi and Tang Jingtian's estimates, this high-grade Tangdan copper mine can be mined on a large scale for at least hundreds of years, but only a small part of it has been mined so far, and its usable value cannot be estimated. For a period of time in the future, Yunnan's economic development will inevitably depend on this copper mine.
And what is more gratifying is that because of the original Dayi Ningguo to get the place of Songyang, not only obtained the quartz ore, spar ore and other resources to make high-quality glaze, but also found a large mineral deposit near Songyang Mountain, which integrates gold, silver and copper resources, the reserves are very amazing, and it is expected that at least more than 50,000 catties of gold, more than 300,000 catties of silver, and a larger number of copper ore resources.
In this way, in addition to the Tangdan copper mine, Yunnan has a second large-scale mine. Of course, this was also discovered by accident under the guidance of Li Yi. Even if 50,000 catties of copper are offered to the imperial court every year, Yunnan will not be affected at all, and the economic foundation of Yunnan will be more solid in the future.
The more money-generating projects, the better, and industrial upgrading is also very necessary. Jin Shuisheng's iron and weapons workshop, Wang Dingguan's Ningzhou kiln porcelain workshop, Feng Qi and Xi Guan's firearms workshop, Yang Lequan's Chinese patent medicine workshop, and the Yunnan Printing Company, which pioneered movable type printing, all need to grasp the needs of the market, improve their own technical level, increase the variety of colors, so that the output and quality have a significant increase, so as to meet the needs of society.
For Jin Shuisheng's iron and weapons workshop, although the government holds seventy percent of the shares in it, it only blindly provides funds, and completely relies on Jin Shuisheng himself in terms of technology.
Even though Jin Shuisheng has already possessed more superb iron-striking skills by going to Dali to study, he still follows the traditional skills of the previous in terms of ironware and weapon making technology, especially the level of weapon production has not been able to make great progress.
