As the weather warms up in June and July, the Siberian wilderness is bustling with adventurers and hunters who hunt wild beasts, and the war continues, but it does not affect their business at all.

Fur traders from the Chinese Empire came here in droves, while buying furs from the Great Qing Kingdom that were not mortgaged to the Chinese Empire, and at the same time catching wild beasts, fishing, and birds with their own hands, and any wild beast that could be found was their prey.

These people inevitably had to deal with the barbarians of the Great Qing Kingdom and Japan and Goguryeo who were scattered in the wasteland, fighting or cooperating, and the fighting was no more relaxed than that of the regular battlefield.

Although many people immigrated to the Chinese Empire, there were still many people who were hired by the merchants and became the bodyguards of the merchants, those retired veterans, those energetic young people who did not want to be soldiers, and the young people who went for wealth, just followed the caravan to this wasteland in search of wealth.

Of course, this also includes the Ministry of Civil Intelligence and the Ministry of Military Intelligence, and even the people of the secret Military Intelligence Department, since the dissolution of the Zheng family and the occupation of Australia by the Chinese Empire, those Australian Han people have also been included in the Chinese Empire, for the Han people in the core area, the Chinese Empire is striving for excellence, for the Han people in overseas and peripheral areas, as long as you have Han blood, or your ancestors are Han, the Chinese Empire is not as harsh as required, so some of the Nanyang Han people who sheltered the Military Intelligence Department still have a lot of survival.

They have no job in Australia and Nanyang that can allow them to survive, so they can only follow the businessmen and come here, while doing the reconnaissance work of the Military Intelligence Department, while fighting for their own wealth.

These people have been living here for three or four years, some seven or eight years, if you add the years they lived in the northeast, they have ten years, and if you add the years they have lived in the northeast, it will be seventeen or eighteen years.

Although these Han people want to return to their hometowns, but the overall situation will not allow them, now the people from the Military Intelligence Department have brought the news that the Chinese Empire has released their identities, how can they not be excited, according to the statistics of the Military Intelligence Department, there are about three or four million Han people who have such thoughts, most of them are some poor people distributed in Chita, Vladivostok, Nebuchu, Lake Berga and other places.

The poorer the people, the more they miss their hometown, the more patriotic they are, the more they are scholars, the richer they are, the more they don't want to return to their hometown, their homeland, those people all think that the Qing Dynasty can survive here, can gain a firm foothold, and one day can fight back to China and rule China again, of course, it will not be the Han people who rule, it must be the Qing Dynasty, they have already regarded themselves as the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty.

For these people, the merchants generally only did business with them, and did not communicate with them, and the fate of these was already doomed, either they were killed in Siberia, or surrendered to the enemy, or they were captured by the enemy, or they were finally thrown into the captive camp by the Chinese Empire, and died in the work of building roads, mining mines, and exploring the wasteland.

Along the way, the merchants continued to build their own supply stations, trading stations, and transportation routes, exploring roads for the construction team in the rear, exploring the geographical environment of various places, and at the same time using horse teams to transport the purchased materials back to the Chinese Empire, and processing furs in their own factories to make various fur goods.

There are two ways to get official fur, one is that the official factory makes some rough fur clothes and items, and sends them to the army, civilians, or sells them to merchants, and the other is to sell them at a high price after refining, and it doesn't matter who buys them, the important thing is to recover the money and subsidize the finances.

At the same time, it is necessary to deal with the development of Australia, the development of the Western Regions, the war, the development of Goguryeo, the Northeast, Mongolia, and the war between the Qing Dynasty and the Westerners.

Prime Minister Mi Chun has convened cabinet meetings three times in three years, and has issued bonds worth 3 billion Chinese yuan to raise funds to support the construction of various localities and the war between the Qing Dynasty and the Westerners.

The six deputy prime ministers have been complaining every year, and some of them have been forced to stop the war in support of the Great Qing Dynasty and let the Chinese Empire recuperate.

With the expansion of the territory, the population can not catch up with the speed of immigration in the first place, and the immigrant places are not able to give birth in the same year, and the population can increase in the same year, but have to recuperate for several years, all relying on the central subsidies of the Chinese Empire, and constantly immigrating a small number of people in the past to fill the automatic population attrition caused by the poor environment because of the water and soil.

The profits of the fur trade supported the financial deficit very well, about 300 million Chinese dollars a year, and the overall market share was 1 billion Chinese dollars, which could make up for the interest on the bonds issued to 300 million Chinese dollars a year.

And the military, Xiao Fei and others felt that they could let the merchants earn while exploring Siberia to prepare for the future entry of the population, immigration, and where to occupy.

As a result, merchants came to Siberia one after another, and each caravan's military intelligence department and civil intelligence department forcibly arranged one or two people in it, and some even officially organized their own caravans for exploration.

The arrival of the caravan and the establishment of the caravan made it very convenient for the intelligence personnel to transmit the intelligence to the country one by one, and built a huge intelligence network in the places occupied by the Japanese in the Siberian Qing Kingdom and Goguryeo, and carried out a good penetration of the Qing Dynasty.

The Great Qing State did not know anything about this, they were now anxious to deal with the attack of the Western coalition forces, although in one operation, a counterattack was carried out in the city of Kilensk, taking advantage of the effect of the cold, repelling the Russians, but they are still constantly gathering supplies, moving the population and troops forward, preparing to once again completely wipe out the remnants of the Russians in Central Siberia, and need to conduct a carpet search of Siberia.

At the same time, they were planning to attack Western Siberia, recapture the Ural Mountains, where to defend, and most importantly, they had to deal with the Austro-Monkeys in southeastern Polya, and where to send troops and horses to solve the gap in strength caused by the total destruction of the Japanese.

In July, they sent a million Han soldiers to the places of the Goguryeo people, to sweep and suppress the rebellion and flight there, and at the same time moved the Han people to East Siberia and Vladivostok, Chita and other places, about six million people were relocated to those places, and they could only do this, because the population was only a million people, and they were all women and children, and there were not many real soldiers and horses, but about 500,000 people, and these people wanted to control the Goguryeo people, the remnants of the Japanese, and the remnants of Southeast Asia. The people who do not have many Han people in Nanyang are very difficult.
