Chapter 638: Everything is ready

Therefore, under Zhang San's intentional propaganda, this time the Han people of the Liao State thoroughly knew that they were nothing more than pigs and sheep in the eyes of the rulers, and the Liao State did not regard them as its own people at all, which paved the way for the next occupation of the Qi State, at least the resistance would not be so fierce.

Zhang San's preparations are almost done, the final attack time is set at the end of September, to end the war at the end of October, and then the long winter Liao State will not have time to mobilize, Zhang San's side can calmly clean up the defense of the sixteen states, and when the Liao State sends troops after the year, Zhang San's side is ready.

In the past two years, Zhang San's Yellow River project has been completed by two-thirds, and it is expected that it will be completed next year, after all, the army of millions of slaves is rushing to repair it, so after the embankment in the east of the river is repaired next year, Zhang San will have to face the problem of leaving and staying millions of slaves.

After the Yanyun is defeated, these slaves can continue to work on projects, build dikes or roads, the Yellow River has not broken for two years, Zhang has not collected taxes for three or two years, and there is no exploitation of landlords on their heads, which is a happy life that the people of Qi have never had.

In addition to Zhang San's various projects and enterprises to recruit workers on a large scale, the people's livelihood in Shandong and Hebei has recovered rapidly, and all parts of the country have also prospered rapidly, and in just two years, the entire Jinnan City has developed into a big city of more than 100,000 people, and the consumption power of the people in other places has also been greatly improved.

The people are worried about the fall in grain prices for two consecutive years, of course Zhang San will not let such a thing happen, because Zhang San is still very short of food, so Zhang San does not refuse the people who sell grain, and the price is also very high, the people's pockets are richer, and Zhang San also obtains grain reserves.

The Yellow River is going to break every year, Zhang San has repaired it here, but the Great Song Dynasty has not been overhauled, so this year into the rainy season, the Yellow River in the south of the Daimyo Mansion burst, flooding millions of acres of farmland, nearly a million people were displaced.

Zhang San recruited refugees on the spot and settled them in Vladivostok and other cities in the north, which had been mastered by the tribes controlled by Zhang San when the Jurchens were not paying attention, and after seeing the real reality of the Jurchens, Zhang San was no longer afraid, and simply developed these strategic areas in the north first.

Vladivostok is equivalent to the significance of the three eastern provinces of Shanghai compared to the south of the Yangtze River, although it will freeze in winter, but he can still become an important port in the north, Zhang San built a city in Vladivostok and named the town of Beicheng.

It means that if you master this city, you will master the north of the Han Dynasty, except for Zhenbei City, other immigrants are resettled to the Hawaiian Islands, which is not only a supply center, but also plays an important role in Zhang San's control of the Pacific Ocean.

The principle of Zhang San's immigration is to move residents from all over the country to areas with similar climates, in short, that is, northerners go north, southerners go south, the Praetorian Guard has completed the redress this year, and the next step will be to give priority to the redress of the troops participating in the war, and after the Praetorian Guard redress, Zhang San also opened the purchase restrictions on the active muskets of the Qi State, and the three countries of Goryeo will have priority to buy.

The Three Kingdoms have been greedy for the weapons of the soldiers of the Qi State for a long time, but Zhang San did not tell them that he had changed into more powerful weapons, Zhang San hoped that this change of clothes could provoke the ambitions in the hearts of the Three Kingdoms, after all, after cleaning up the Liao State, the role of the Three Kingdoms would not be great.

Such a well-behaved dog Zhang San is really embarrassed to turn his face, but if the dog wants to bite the owner back, then there will be no psychological pressure at all when killing the dog and eating meat, so Zhang San hopes to create an illusion for the Three Kingdoms, that is, they are now the same as the Qi State.

The Great Song Dynasty finally did not resist the temptation, mainly because the corrupt officials obtained a lot of benefits in Dali, such as fields and minerals, etc., so in the end, the Great Song Dynasty annexed Dali, and Tong Dali became the first Dali Festival Envoy.

This is undoubtedly good news for Zhang San, Tong Dali's dependence on the officer corps is very serious now, even if the firearms army took the initiative to lay down Dali this time, Tong Dali did not deprive the command of the officer corps, because Tong Dali may have to seal the Nanhou because of the work of destroying Dali.

This is a major event of Guangzong and Yaozu, even Tong Guan is impressed by him, and Tong Dali is also like a fish in water in Dali, first lived in the Gao family's mansion, you must know that the Gao family is the real emperor of Dali, compared to Duan Yu, the emperor After talking about the palace, it is not much different.

So Tong Dali is now like an emperor in Dali, and the firearms unit was sent to recover the ethnic minorities in the south, and the officer corps asked them to open the road to Burma from the Great Song Dynasty first, according to Zhang San's instructions.

Everything has returned to Zhang San's control, Zhang San likes this feeling very much, but there is indeed an undercurrent in the Great Song Dynasty, and those so-called loyal people feel that the Great Song Dynasty now has the strength to challenge the Qi State, so the King of Qi should cut the domain now, so as not to lose the tail in the future.

For such a person, Zhang San's response is very simple, take out the open Qi country's own version of the musket, and want to compete with the Qi country, come on, buy it again, such a good musket is only half more expensive than the original, thirty taels of silver.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang San's trick came out, those who wanted to cut the feudal domain immediately shut up, and then began to complain that their craftsmen refused to contribute, why couldn't they find such a good musket?

As a result, the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty said that we can also make this kind of gun, but it is only made slower and more expensive, and the cost is more than forty taels, of course, this price is also the price calculated by corrupt officials.

But in the face of concentrating the strength of the whole country and producing tens of thousands of muskets a year, the Great Song Dynasty really couldn't afford to wait, and those people asked again, why can the Qi country be built so quickly, and your side is so slow?

The craftsmen said that they didn't know, that they didn't know about it, they just knew that if they wanted to make the same thing, they had to do it, and they couldn't guarantee that the quality was the same as that of others, and the materials couldn't be used.

This is the power of machinery, although the current production efficiency of Qi State is not yet satisfactory to Zhang San, but for the current Great Song Dynasty, it is already an existence to look up to, and it is at a time when the Great Song Dynasty is at a loss.

A person who claimed to know the production method of Qi appeared, this person used to be one of the students taught by Zhang San in Tokyo, that is, the children of those craftsmen, because of his age, after completing his literacy, he began to enter various workshops for internship, so he only knew that Qi Guo was made by machinery, but what kind of machinery he didn't know at his level.

But it's good to find the direction, so the students that Zhang San taught in Tokyo at the beginning have become fragrant and gluttonous, and most of the original children have grown up after more than ten years, and there are indeed some talented ones, and after gathering them together, after research, the speed of the production of muskets in the Great Song Dynasty immediately doubled.

But how long have they been learning? Zhang San just smiled when he saw the news, what kind of climate can a group of second-grade elementary school students achieve, and now they think about it and catch up? It's late!
