At the end of the year, the Ming Dynasty had basically determined the plan for the coming year, that is, to practice internal strength. The mobile phone has no ads, and it saves the most data.

If the war against the Jin State is successful this time, then the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to thousands of miles of Forte at once, and there must be a time to digest it.

Wang Yan tried his best to develop the sea trade to expand the market, but he also clearly realized that the sea trade is only open source, and the foundation is still in China, and he will continue to encourage industry and commerce to expand the domestic market.

The territory controlled by the Ming Dynasty has an existing population of nearly 50 million, and if it can be fully utilized, the benefits it can create are very considerable.

However, there is also a serious problem in encouraging industry and commerce, in ancient China, there were no merchants in the strict sense, and successful businessmen worked hard to become gentry.

Now, with Wang Yan's advocacy of the idea of the four people over the years, it has indeed influenced many people, so that a large number of businessmen appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and many gentry also took advantage of the land and transferred their assets to business, but these people were only a minority in the entire gentry system of the Ming Dynasty.

With the development of commerce, the Ming Dynasty arose a merchant class and an enlightened class of large landlords and gentry, and they were gradually separated from the original gentry class.

In the Ming Dynasty for nearly 300 years, the gentry class was powerful, they were originally the masters of the place, the most prestigious people, but now the rising merchant class and the enlightened gentry who split from the traditional gentry are increasing in influence.

One did not move, the other grew stronger, and those who did not move fell behind.

The rise of the new gentry naturally affected the status of these old gentry, and made them gradually lose their local right to speak, so they were very dissatisfied.

Wang Yan is very afraid of this force in his heart, and he is from this class.

Today's social changes have caused violent turmoil in the hearts of the people, and blindly expanding to the outside world and not paying attention to internal affairs will make it impossible to channel contradictions, so Wang Yan will strengthen the management of internal affairs.

Externally, the revision of the New Covenant with Japan and the adoption of a hostile attitude towards Spain were to expand the market, and to continue to encourage industry and commerce internally, but to further disintegrate and divide the old and conservative gentry, so that they would devote themselves to new industries, ease contradictions, and assimilate more people.

Wang Yan believes that in just a few years, the whole society will complete a preliminary transformation and slowly end the internal turmoil.

However, Wang Yan's policies were mainly aimed at Huguang, Liangguang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Nanzhi and Zhejiang, and for Yunnan, Guichuan in the southwest, the imperial court currently gave considerable autonomy.

Because of these places, it is too difficult to enter, and there is a war, and the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it is difficult to even get in touch. If the imperial court follows the example of other provinces and passes through the central government, it will be a little too late.

Three years of governance, at the end of January, Luzhou, Sichuan.

He Tengjiao has been in a good mood during this time, he is now the power of the southwest, although he does not have the title of the king of the southwest, but he already has the strength of the king of the southwest.

The new edict of the king of Chu and the appointment of the cabinet made him governor of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan, and not only gave him the right to act cheaply, but also allocated two million taels to give him money at once.

However, Wang Yan also made it clear that from the beginning of the third year of co-governance, the imperial court will focus on filling the treasury, and the support for the southwest will be reduced, so the imperial court hopes that He Tengjiao will be able to achieve self-sufficiency after seizing Sichuan.

Especially for the grain project, it was too difficult for the Ming Dynasty to transport grain into Sichuan, and the people involved in the transportation of the grain had to eat more than half, and the loss was too great, so the imperial court hoped that Yunnan, Guichuan could achieve food self-sufficiency.

In addition to the grain direct, the economy of Yunnan-Guichuan should also recover as soon as possible, and it is necessary to avoid reaching out to the imperial court to ask for money.

In this way, he not only has to prepare for war, but also pay attention to food and the economy, He Tengjiao is busy, but although the affairs are complicated, he enjoys the pleasure of holding power.

The only thing that made him unhappy was that the imperial history of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan arranged by the imperial court was not from the Chu Party, but fortunately it was not from Tang Lu, but the remnants of Donglin led by Qian Qianyi.

After defeating Haoge, the Ming army successively regained Neijiang, Zizhong, Ziyang and other places, and the army had entered the territory of Chengdu Prefecture.

The Ming army recovered not only the cities, but also the fields of arable land that could be used to grow crops.

Since last year, the Ming Dynasty has achieved some results in promoting sweet potatoes in Guizhou, Guangxi, and other places, and now it has obtained 10,000 hectares of land, and it is possible to solve the grain problem in the southwest.

Since Haoge broke the contract and caused a war in Sichuan, Sichuan has been fighting for more than a year, and the population loss is large, He Tengjiao not only let the people in the recovered area plant, but also sent tens of thousands of Western troops captured in Luzhou to Neijiang, Ziyang and other places to farm, and even recruited the mountain toast to go down the mountain to plant.

If these places can have a bumper harvest this year, then He Tengjiao can complete the first task assigned to him by the imperial court and barely achieve food self-sufficiency in Yunnan, Guichuan.

In order to protect these cultivated lands, He Tengjiao was preparing for war while sending troops to prevent the Jin army from sabotage.

After the grain problem is solved, it is necessary to focus on reviving the economy of the southwest, and the initial development of mineral resources in Guizhou has already seen returns, but this is far from enough.

After taking control of Yunnan and southern Sichuan, the Ming army regained contact with the Duogandusi and the Usizangdusi.

The center of gravity of the Ming Dynasty shifted to the southwest, a big reason, was to hope to obtain war horse resources from the west, He Tengjiao soon thought of the "tea and horse market".

For the Central Plains Dynasty, tea was just an ordinary daily necessities, but for the northern ethnic groups and the people in Tibetan areas, it was an extremely important strategic material, because they would get sick if they didn't drink tea, so tea was very important to them.

The Central Plains Dynasty used this thing to trade with these ethnic groups and exchange tea for war horses, which is the "tea and horse market".

There is tea in Yunnan and horses in Tibet, so He Tengjiao sent Zhang Tongchang into Duogan and Wusizang to demand the restoration of the "tea and horse market", the establishment of tea and horse divisions for trade, and the restoration of the tradition of horses as the endowment in Tibetan areas.

If this matter is successful, He Tengjiao will have one more financial road, which will be of great benefit to the economy of the southwest.

Now, He Tengjiao has a solution to the problem of food and money, as for the soldiers and horses, he is not worried, in addition to the 30,000 people who are seconded to Wang Jincai in Guangxi, they may have to be returned to Liangguang, he has Ma Jinzhong, Wang Guangtai, Wang Deren, Chen Youlong, and Li Dingguo and other troops in his hands, with more than 100,000 troops, and if they are full, they will reach 150,000, which can be said to be full of troops.

At this time, He Tengjiao can say that he wants money, food, and soldiers, and all he lacks is the news that Huguang is ready to start.
