124 Luanzhou
Bai Nan was gray when he returned to Los Angeles, he never thought that he would make such a mistake, maybe being pushed backwards by his sister is a somewhat gratifying thing, at least it proves that this man is very masculine, but Bai Nan is a person with a girlfriend after all, and he is still drugged and pushed backwards, which is really embarrassing to go home.

Fortunately, no one knew the specific details of the things in the tent, and Chang Bin gave Bai Nan a thumbs up the next day, saying that Bai Nan had finally opened up, and eighty percent thought that Bai Nan took the initiative to take Meola, instead of being unlucky enough to control the lower half of his body with aphrodisiac psychedelic spices, and was pushed back by the girl by the way.
On the way back, Bai Nan was also at war with heaven and man, and he didn't know if he should tell his girlfriend about it. It won't take a few months for him to marry Xu Xin, and he told her about it at this time, although Xu Xin has always been indifferent, Bai Nan is not sure what the consequences will be. Don't tell her, it's a lie to her again. In short, it's all trouble.
Of course, in private, Bai Nan also felt that the wheat-skinned and hot Mayora was indeed different from his girlfriend, with a strong violent atmosphere, which was intoxicating.
"It seems that it is really too easy for men to learn badly." Bai Nan couldn't stop sighing.
The extent of the collapse of things is actually beyond Bai Nan's imagination, when he returned to the port of Long Beach in Los Angeles, Xu Xin actually came to pick him up in person, the moment he saw her, Bai Nan was very guilty, and wanted to tell her the truth of the matter, but Xu Xin's next sentence made Bai Nan swallow back the prepared words.
"Honey, we've got to get married. I'm pregnant! Xu Xin was full of happiness when she said this, so much so that Bai Nan felt that she was so satisfied at that moment, but it was not surprising at all. A weak woman. Traveled to a strange era and got along with a group of strange people. When she found someone she could rely on, gave herself all to him, and now had two children, she will soon form a family of her own, which is definitely a gift-like feeling.
At this time, how could Bai Nan tell her such bad news. Xu Xin has been upgraded to a pregnant woman, her body and mood are important, Bai Nan can only hold this matter in her heart.
Xu Xin smiled. whispered in his ear: "It may not be long before I can't accompany you, I'm sorry." ”
Bai Nan hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, the baby is important." ”
He himself was very pleased. Travel through the first two worlds. He never thought about becoming a father, and instantly felt that he was all a burden, and his brain hole had begun to be infinitely magnified, and he began to imagine how he would get along with his children in the future and teach them to grow up.
Of course, if everything didn't have that little change before, it can be said to be perfect.
In short, joy and troubles are entangled, so that Bai Nan's interest in work has weakened a little, and when he returns to the National Political Yuan. Zhao Daling asked him if he wanted to go out on business again, and Bai Nan pushed him off on the grounds that he was too tired.
After the signing of a border agreement with Spain. The inland state of Nevada also belongs to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, surrounded by mountains and inaccessible Nevada, there are even relatively few aborigines, but it is also a very good pasture. After the population of Datang gradually increased, relying on hunting to obtain meat protein was not so reliable, and the ecological damage was also quite heavy, so it was necessary to develop the country's animal husbandry. Jiazhou itself has built some livestock units such as chicken farms and pig farms, but the scale is relatively limited. Datang has a vast territory, especially Nevada, which is an excellent pasture, there are no large predatory creatures here, and the water and grass are abundant, suitable for raising large livestock, such as beef cattle, dairy cows, and cavalry horses.
In January 1776, the cabinet issued an official document to determine the state of Nevada in another plane, becoming the second state-level establishment of the Tang Dynasty, named Luanzhou. The document also mentions the development of Luanzhou, which is not only rich in livestock resources, but also has many spacious resources, especially silver mines, which are quite abundant, and Nevada has the reputation of the silver state of the United States.
The Department of Industry has planned to build a railroad from Los Angeles to what would become Las Vegas, which Datang has named Jinmo County, where some workers will mine silver and build two ranches in the surrounding foothills. These constructions are also the recent arrangements of all Luanzhou, the Tang itself lacks population, and the rich Jiazhou has not yet been developed, so it is naturally impossible to allocate most of the manpower to develop Luanzhou.
Luanzhou is not expected to have a migrant population of more than 1,000 people, mainly herders and miners, and may also be somewhat mobile. The number of local Indians is also relatively small, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs plans to make contact to see if it can do some naturalization work.
Luanzhou is still a bit remote for Datang, but the establishment of pastures and mines and settlements here is also to strengthen Datang's control over the areas within its own territory. The Spaniards were constantly sending their expeditions deep into the interior, and although they did not have the strength to establish colonies in those places, it was not a pleasant thing to be transported freely through their own land.
Utah and part of Colorado are also part of the land assigned to the Tang Republic in the border agreement, but there are really no spare manpower to estimate such a remote area.
"Population, we really lack population, even if there are one million people in Datang now, scattered on such a land of less than one million square kilometers, on average, there are less than two people per square kilometer, the real land is vast and sparsely populated!" Bai Nan couldn't help but sigh that in later generations, the United States had a population of 80 million or nearly 100 million in California alone, and he didn't feel how crowded it was, such as Nevada and Utah, which have a population of more than 100,000 people, are still vast and sparsely populated.
Army officer Xu Daorun chatted with Bai Nan, and he said: "These places are very difficult for us to develop, so strategically, we only maintain a limited presence and colonization, and then the normal lines of communication, and at the same time prevent any Spanish, British, French and American forces from infiltrating." In principle, as long as someone illegally colonizes our land, we will destroy them humanely. ”
Bai Nan was also not merciful, and said: "This is what should have happened, immigrating in without permission is aggression." It's like Oregon, there was nothing in the United States in history, but the Americans immigrated along the Clark Trail, although there was only a small population, but there was an excuse to fight with the British, and in the end, one and a half on both sides, a large area was swept away by the Americans. We have a small population, which is very similar to the British, but we have a good location, so we also have to prevent ambitious people from colonizing us, and when the time comes, we should destroy one by one. ”
In order to enhance the attractiveness of the inland, the low price in the inland area is extremely cheap, you can buy one acre of land in Jiazhou, you can buy a hundred acres in Luanzhou, and even if you sign up to immigrate to Luanzhou, you will have more than 50 acres of land as a gift, which means that everyone is a landlord. Some of the troubles are that the value of these lands is definitely not as good as that of Jiazhou, and the grassland is considered to be cheap, and many of them are barren mountains or even sandy land.
"There are many opinions in the country now, and there are some people who support expanding north rather than east. The coastal areas west of the Rocky Mountains in our north, although there are still more mountainous areas, but the climate is relatively good, and the land is also very fertile, such as the original part of Canada, all of which are black soil, and the lowland areas of Vancouver are suitable for agriculture and bays for industry, of course, these places often produce gold mines. Xu Daorun said.
Bai Nan also nodded: "The Oregon side is estimated to be developing the Columbia River Valley, that is, Portland and Eugene, where the agricultural environment is very good, I'm afraid it is still mainly engaged in agriculture." Further north, Seattle and Vancouver are likely to merge and develop into a single state, and the Vancouver Lowlands are far less valuable than the Lowlands to the north, so they are likely to be excluded. Vancouver Island should also belong to the state. In terms of strategy, it is estimated that it is similar to the development of Luan Prefecture, first send a small number of immigrants to occupy it, confirm our control over this area, and then we can only wait for the immigrants to slowly fill the two states. ”
Xu Daorun said with a smile: "In this way, even if we have four states, it is almost two million square kilometers of land, there is really a shortage of people, no wonder you have such a big brain, you have to do some cuckoo plan, get the population from the Manchu Qing Dynasty." ”
Bai Nandao: "Actually, sometimes I think about it, it's not bad to live honestly in our place, but I will always be unwilling, life is so short, we have encountered such a fantasy thing, if we don't make a little earth-shattering achievement, it's a pity." ”
Xu Daorun quipped: "I understand, you mean that you can't embarrass the seniors." If you can't be a dragon and a proud sky, you can't open a harem, so you have to fight a big country for future generations. ”
Bai Nan smiled: "Yes, we have to rely on your army, how is the training of recruits, we just have such a small number of troops, if we want to complete the cuckoo plan, everyone's role must be played." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, our army has a total of six regiments, and the Marine Corps has also expanded into a regiment, although it is a force of several thousand people when it is full, but the firepower is fierce enough, the soldiers use their lives, and the tactics are appropriate, how can we complete the task." In a few days, the Equipment Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense will determine the bidding for mobile armored vehicles, and our battalion will also become mechanized infantry in the future.
