The managing officer prepares the materials.

The ship was set to be around 600 tons, and the plan was to be in the early 600 tons, which would have to wait until the ship was built and the various upper configurations were finally decided.

Zhang Qiang ate and lived in the shipyard, watching them build, the manpower and material resources of the Huaxia Kingdom were quickly mobilized, and the materials that were not available were transported through the already convenient water and land routes, and in less than a month, the ship, which had been suspended for a month, resumed construction.

However, it is no longer the original 680-ton warship of the Chinese Kingdom.

It is 56 meters long and 5.98 meters wide, with four masts, plus a mast at the stern and a crossbar at the bow, which is equivalent to six masts.

The height of the mast also increased from the usual ten meters to twenty-four meters, which is not too high, so the materials prepared were mobilized and transported quickly.

The Kingdom of China was not generally rich in materials and materials, but very rich, especially in terms of shipbuilding, the previous crazy reserves, and even after two wars, there was a long trade with the Spaniards among the Taixi, and then there was a short trade with the Dutch, and a year-long trade with the British, at that time Zhang Qiang decided to get the trade of shipbuilding materials from them, and made a lot of preparations to build better ships.

The ships built in the early stage are the wood in the deep mountains of Baodao Prefecture and Yunnan Guizhou and Guangxi Prefecture, and later there are some timber bought from Liaodong, these local timber have built nearly a thousand warships of more than 300 tons, and the warships in the early stage are transformed by some merchant ships, so the thousand ships in the early stage are equivalent to not using much wood, they are all transformed, the second generation uses some foreign wood, plus the capture of the enemy, and the third generation uses a lot of wood outside, but there are still a lot of remaining reserves.

Zhang Qiang expects to replace all the ships of the six fleets of the fleet, reduce the tonnage to 800 tons, and the remaining reserve timber is still enough, not enough to dismantle the original big ships.

The shipyard is building ships, Zhang Qiang is dealing with official affairs, and he can't delay the time to deal with official affairs because he is here, although internal affairs can be completely left to the cabinet to deal with, but the department managed by Zhang Qiang happens to be to monitor the cabinet, in order to defend the country, and to defend his own department, so he can't be slack, if he slacks off, it is easy to be overlooked.

What a king fears most is the loss of power.

Zhang Qiang didn't want to be a rubber stamp, a symbolic king, a national mascot.

Therefore, the four departments of the military, intelligence, supervision, and foreign affairs must be aware at all times.

The latest information is that the militia in the core area of the Huaxia Kingdom has been completely converted into an account book militia, that is, if there is something to assemble, what to do when you have nothing to do, why to go, basically belong to half of the people, but in some villages, the militia is also responsible for the maintenance of local law and order, assisting the government to arrest and arrest bandits.

The number of these militias is increasing, and it is gradually becoming a financial burden for the local government, and the cabinet has offered to help some militia members set up some small workshops, and then let them become self-reliant, but it is not completely abandoned, just let them earn some money, and the government subsidy is less.

In addition, the cabinet passed a resolution to merge Yunnan Prefecture into the core area, improve the economic level, improve the level of road travel, the original Li Dingguo built those roads can not meet the development of the Chinese kingdom at all, must be re-widened and reconstructed, and build more county roads, village roads, in order to support more poor people to improve their living standards, out of the mountains.

At the same time, there are also Yunnan, Guizhou, Henan, Shandong and other frontier state capitals, because of the border with the enemy, so it is inevitable to be threatened and harassed by the enemy's war, so according to the practice of the Chinese Kingdom, they are not accepted by the core state, where will be deployed a lot of militia troops, garrison troops, to prevent the enemy from invading the war.

The Cabinet's decision is because if they are not incorporated and raise their economic level as soon as possible, they will slow down the development speed of the entire Huaxia Kingdom, improve their economic level, and the kingdom's finances can get rid of them and build the kingdom as soon as possible with very little subsidies and military spending.

The cabinet also has a proposal that the second and third generations of the Han people can go out in the future, but they must come back after a period of time, and the place where they come back to settle is the land vacated by the migration of the minority population that was originally immigrated, some of these minority groups have been more than ten years, and they are basically sinicized, but the second and third generations still have some problems that do not accept the ideas and living habits of the Han people, so the cabinet suggests that the immigrants go out, such as filling the population vacancy in the four national prefectures.

Because of the war in the past two years, many Japanese died, fled, were thrown into prisoner camps, were immigrated to Qiongdao Prefecture, Sichuan Prefecture, and even recently sold hundreds of thousands of people, and now there are only 1.1 million Japanese people on Shikoku Island, compared with the previous base of 4 million, this is very little, according to the previous population of nearly 2 million, many places have also been vacated, and the follow-up supplements are militia and army, as well as Southeast Asian natives and Nanyang natives, unable to make up for the population gap.

So the cabinet decided where to emigrate the 300,000 Han Chinese, who of course were naturalized Han Chinese from minority groups, and some of the families of prisoners.

At the same time, the 2 million Japanese people in Xinlu Province will also emigrate to 200,000 people, and these 200,000 people will be preliminarily set at 50,000 in Sishan Prefecture, 50,000 in Qiongdao, 50,000 in Southeast Asia, and 100,000 in their families.

The original indigenous population had 20 million people, but now nearly one million have died, two or three hundred thousand are missing, nearly four or five million have been immigrated to the mainland, and hundreds of thousands of people have immigrated to the treasure island, and the specific is not clear, and there are hundreds of thousands of immigrants to Amami Island of the third prince, hundreds of thousands of people in Xinlu Province and Shikoku Island, and nearly seven or eight million people.

They were made captives to build roads, open mountains, dig rivers, and the number of dead people was nearly five million, so that the remaining millions of people Although the Chinese Kingdom also immigrated more than eight million, and later immigrated to the second generation of more than one million, and the third generation of more than two million, but it is still not enough to cover the territory where they are located, forming an absolute majority, because some places are too difficult, and it is impossible for the immigrant population in the deep mountains and forests to reach at all, not because they can't get by, but they are afraid that they will die of illness and death if they can't adapt to the environment. As a result, the immigrants used to be concentrated in large cities, large towns, and remote areas, which were actually filled with captives and militias, and a small number of people who had adapted to live for several years.

Now the speed of immigration is much faster, a state road from the original center of Jinhua to the location of the state capitals, and then the government road leads to the county seats, the transport carriage of the Huaxia army, a car and four horses, if you run with all your strength, you can quickly reach the next stop, a run of nearly 100 miles, a wide road, flat and unhindered, improve the speed of travel.

A convoy can transport tens of thousands of people to the border between a small Southeast Asian country and Yunnan Prefecture in a month, and then change to a smaller carriage and run a narrower road of poor quality, and at most three months, it can transport 10,000 people from Jinling Prefecture to any part of the country in various small Southeast Asian countries.

The construction of state roads and government roads makes the speed of transporting troops very fast, and a unit can quickly travel from one state capital to another, and in ten days, it can pass through two or three state capitals and reach any nearby place where fighting is taking place for reinforcements.

Each state capital has only one garrison brigade, but through the state road, the other state capital can quickly send a regiment of troops to reinforce the other state capital.

It doesn't take three to seven days.

Three days to the capital of the other side, two days to the capital of the other side where something happened, two days to the county capital where the battle is taking place, and then a few hours to the place of the battle.

These roads and wagons are used to transport migrants, and the speed is still very fast, basically a little more than three months for the migrants to be delivered, and the fourth month is when the local people arrange for the migrants to go to the places where they will live.

For the Cabinet, the decision on this matter is not as long thought out and prepared as before, it takes one or two years to complete, and now it only takes a little more than four to five months from the decision to the completion.

Zhang Qiang quickly approved these application documents and approved the implementation.

Then look at the battle in Sishan Prefecture, He Tengjiao has already determined that he has been captured and is on his way to Jinling, and it will take about a month to arrive, and then the cabinet will deal with him.

The Feng Wuyu Corps in Sishan Prefecture had already occupied most of Sishan Prefecture, and there were still 3 million people there, and these people would have to be transported to nearby Yunnan Guizhou for education for a period of time, and then screened, and after screening, the cabinet estimated that one million people would return to their hometowns, and be disrupted and redistributed to places where Japanese immigrants and Southeast Asian indigenous immigrants had been settled, as well as Han Chinese prisoners who had been captured elsewhere.

The territory of the remnants of the Dashun army had been completely occupied, and Xiao Fei's corps sent a field brigade over to take over the guards, freeing up the troops of the featherless corps to attack the places close to the Kangding area and Yunnan Prefecture where Shang Kexi's troops were entrenched.

Chongqing Prefecture has been largely settled, and with the recovering Chengdu Prefecture, which has housed some Han Chinese population, the total population is more than 9 million.

All are immigrants and captives.

The cabinet has mobilized nearly two million Han Chinese from Shandong, Anhui, and Hubei prefectures, all of whom are the second and third generations of young people from the Chinese kingdom.

Up to now, the second and third generations in the country have basically exhausted the population that must be left behind, and if they want to emigrate, they have to emigrate the population of the minority groups that have been immigrated, and this is also a last resort for the cabinet.

Zhang Qiang's suggestion is to immigrate those first-generation population, they have immigrated from other places, the second and third generations have become accustomed to living there, there is no need to toss, they will be the real Han population in the future, but how can the first generation forget the hatred of breaking the family and destroying the clan, let them go to a new place to fend for themselves.

Soon the second and third generations of Han people will re-cover and fill in the place after their death, and now they are just using them to occupy the territory.

Of course, for the first generation of the population who really returned, after the Huaxia Kingdom was screened, they still didn't move, only those who had some slender populations moved, which required a period of monitoring and screening.

After solving these problems, Zhang Qiang went to the Jinling Artillery Factory a month later to study with people there how to equip the new warship with more powerful artillery.

The new ships and new guns are faster than the enemy, their firepower is fiercer than the enemy, and they are suitable for long-term sea voyages, so that they can easily chase and fight with the enemy for a long time.
