For a while, there was a loud noise, and they all carefully fired the firearms in their hands, and the occasional stray bullet flew to the opposite side a hundred meters away, and was also stopped by the shield hand that appeared on the opposite side.

The rhinoceros, which was the target of the crowd, was not so lucky, and was beaten to pieces, screaming and stabbed to the ground by the spearmen.

For a while, the cheers around him soared into the sky, and many people watching the ceremony heard what was just now, although they were well-informed and knew that it must be a firearm, but how did it start without seeing the ignition?

Li Yang smiled slightly, and turned to leave the viewing platform under the escort of the guards, he knew that many people would come to visit him next.

It is no longer a problem to eat in the Oriental Han Kingdom, after all, there is money, and the surrounding area is a grain producing area that crops three times a year, so what can't be bought.

When grain prices were low, Li Yang bought rice and other easy-to-store grains from many sources, dug deep into cellars for storage, and grain crops such as sweet potatoes were widely planted in the surrounding areas, and the question of whether or not they could feed the excessive population was no longer a problem that plagued urban development.

And after such a long period of propaganda and word of mouth, everyone knows that there is such a pearl in the East China Sea, and the surrounding homeless people all hope to enter the sphere of influence of the Eastern Han Kingdom.

It's just that now the Oriental Han Kingdom has all kinds of restrictions on the inflow of the surrounding indigenous people, otherwise the Oriental Han Kingdom would have been crowded by the continuous influx of people around it.

What Li Yang needs now is high-quality talents, as well as a Dakang population, and ethnic minorities ruling the majority of the population is not a long-term solution after all.

Now the ratio of the population in China is roughly three to seven, that is, three out of ten people are Dakang people or Chinese, and the remaining seven people are also of various ethnic groups, and they are completely unable to challenge the dominance of the Dakang people, but this is far from enough, Li Yang needs absolute dominance.

So in this case, the immigration order for the Dakang people only began in a situation that was not completely public—the local government found some Dakang immigrants and proposed various preferential conditions to encourage them to return to their hometowns and attract more villagers to the Eastern Han Kingdom.

At this moment, those new immigrants have changed from the original confusion and confusion to full of hope, not only do they want to live a better life, but also one of their psychological needs to return to their hometown.

Now the government not only provides round-trip travel expenses and normal wages, but also the merchant ships of the Miyako Commercial Association are well served and entertained, and once a person is invited to be exempted from taxes or even knighthood, how can these civilians not be tempted, and they can take a boat without working and get paid, even if they try their luck

As a result, from the second half of the year, the population of the Oriental Han Kingdom has been steadily increasing every day.

The Oriental Han Kingdom adopts a strict household registration system, and every new population is registered, but it is not that you cannot move in a certain place, but that you will be issued an identity card after registering your personal information, and you can find the government of the Oriental Han Kingdom in case of any problems.

Not only is the population steadily increasing, but the situation of the country as a whole is also improving.

Originally, because the quality of the population was really not high, large factories and workshops were clustered around Miyakojima, which greatly limited the scale.

With Li Yang's unswerving popularization of education, there was no one among thousands of people who could read and write and arithmetic, and now there are always a few smart children who are selected to study in the Miyako School and become the protégé of the lord of the country that everyone envies.

These students are enriched to the locality, after having knowledge and insight, of course his actions are different, in the local combination with the local reality, some places along the coast, the beach is gentle, mobilize the whole village to settle down, set up a proposed wharf on the beach, although the government prohibits the random cutting of trees, but under the application, cut down some trees, after inviting experienced craftsmen, simple offshore boats were erected, not for fishing, but for freight, these small cargo ships bloomed everywhere, The logistics between the entire Oriental Han Kingdom, which was originally separated, was smooth, and the ties between various places were unprecedentedly close.

And in some places there is no shortage of population, there is no shortage of land, cinchona, cotton and linen and other medicines, the cultivation of raw materials is also a good deal, the price of buying cattle and farming tools from the government is not expensive, and it can be slowly deducted from the future taxes, the price of agricultural products in the Oriental Han has always been not low, and after having advanced farming tools and technology, the benefits that each person can obtain are not small.

There was a vigorous development everywhere, and in this way, the time turned to the fifth year of Zehan, the fifth year of Li Yang's official rule over this land.

Judging from the registered population, it has reached more than 300,000, which is indeed not comparable with the population roughly estimated at 50 million in the Central Plains, but compared with many countries in the same period, the Oriental Han Kingdom is now an out-and-out giant.

The Dongying countries in the north have been trembling constantly, and they didn't feel anything in the past few years, but now looking at it, if the Dongyang Han Kingdom has the heart, it can arm a terrifying army at any time to level their own land, and several kings have decided that they must go to pay tribute with Dakang's fleet next time, and now, they can only hope that Dakang can have a certain influence on the Dongyang Han Kingdom.

However, they can't wait for this day, how can they allow others to snore on the side of the couch, Li Yang was bent on development before, and the war will consume the most important human resources for his development path, so even if it is such a bad country, Li Yang also tolerates the continued existence of several countries in Dongying. Originally, Dongying was a place where Li Yang wanted to set foot in peace, and now that he is strong, how could he let go of the opportunity to subdue the countries of Dongying.

Now, everything is different, the pro-army Wuyi Guard has expanded to more than 5,000 people, not to mention the volunteers who can be armed at any time.

At the beginning of the fifth year of Zehan, Li Yang waved an army of 30,000, including 5,000 Wuyi guards, 10,000 temporarily recruited volunteers, and 15,000 miscellaneous logistics soldiers.

With such a huge team, it is not impossible for the countries of Dongying to organize it with all their might, but how long can it maintain such a large army?

30,000 people, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, eating and drinking Lazar is not a small amount, not to mention the soldiers and horses to be used by 30,000 people, it is estimated that the barely organized men and horses will be able to run away in less than three days, and more than half of them will be scattered all the way.

The Oriental Han Kingdom is different this time, 30,000 people, even the logistics miscellaneous workers are distinctively clothed, and now the cloth produced by the Oriental Han completely occupies the cloth market of the East China Sea countries, and there is no shortage of this armor.

Needless to say, the weapons are eaten and drunk, and the miscellaneous servants do not need to be overly armed, mainly the fifteen thousand soldiers, needless to say, the black guards, professional soldiers are rare in such a Middle Ages, they are covered with armor, there are horse teams that are good at riding and fighting, there are also well-formed infantry phalanxes, and there are musket teams of a thousand people.
