Chapter 161: Looking North to Siberia 3

"Your Majesty, the Shangshu Heavenly Officials of all the ministries and departments have arrived." At this time, Little Beanzi came in and said to me

Zhou Tong and I put away the lewd smile on our faces, and instantly returned to the appearance of a righteous gentleman, and then I said to Xiaodouzi: "Xuan They all come in." ”

"Your Majesty has a decree to announce that all the ministries and ministers will come to see the heavenly officials-"

"Ministers, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"The Qing's family is flat, give sit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After all the bigwigs of the various ministries and departments had sat down and had taken a sip of tea to moisten their throats, I said to them: "With the end of the war, the construction of the newly occupied land and the garrison, we must also put it on the agenda as soon as possible and discuss it properly. Just now, I also briefly mentioned to Zhou Lao Aiqing of the Ministry of War, and the garrison guarding of the newly occupied land, the recovery of people's livelihood, and economic construction have been a series of regional constructive problems, we must plan well and make the most reasonable plan, and I just received the battle report, saying that the ghost cavalry on the front line has encountered a thousand-man team of the Zaran country in the border of Jin, Mongolia and the Rus' country, although it has been completely annihilated, but, This also fully proves that the Rus' state will most likely become the next country to threaten the northern frontier of our country. ”

"Your Majesty means to continue to wave your army north and attack this Zoirs country?" Ouyang Shuliang, the secretary of the ministry, asked me

"Of course not, our country has just experienced a major war, hundreds of thousands of troops are tired of fighting, and the military spirit is relatively fluctuating, coupled with these newly occupied lands, people's livelihood is withering, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, so various conditions show that our country is no longer suitable for continuing to fight abroad. I have already issued an order to guard the northern road of Liaozhou and look north to the Rus, so as to prevent them from suddenly launching a war against our country in the future. ”

"Then what does Your Majesty mean ......," Liu Shihai asked

I stood up from behind the dragon case, led a group of ministers to the huge jigsaw puzzle-like sand table placed in the imperial study, pointed to the large blank space in the northern part of the Jin and Liao kingdoms, and said to the ministers: "Here, this huge and vast land, nominally belongs to the land of the Great Rus' Empire, and that land is called Siberia by the people who live there, and because our CIA spies have not yet conducted a detailed survey of this Siberian region, As a result, our country's awareness of this land is almost zero, but, according to my understanding, this Great Rus' Empire is actually an alias of the Byzantine Eastern Roman Empire, where the rulers of a large area of land are mainly some small kingdoms, principalities, knightly domains, and some noble fiefs with titles, among which the large country is only a state and county, and the small one is only a few villages and towns, scattered throughout the entire Siberian land, and their fiefs or territories are completely different from our Great Song Dynasty. Our fiefdom is just a food eup, and their fief is a piece of land that belongs entirely to them. But all of you Aiqing, do you all think that that place is really like what Su Wu said when he was shepherding sheep, thinking that there is frozen all the year round, and there is no grass, like a place like Shura hell, wrong, that is Su Wu lying, you don't want to think about it, if it is really frozen all year round, and there is no grass, what do Su Wu's sheep eat, and what does his old Su eat, although the winter there is indeed very cold, but it is not as Su Wu said, there are also four distinct seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, but the winter is a little longer, But do you know what kind of minerals are produced there? I have come to tell you that there is a vast forest, the forest area is equivalent to most of the country of my Great Song Empire, and under the vast forest, there are inexhaustible iron ore, copper ore, carboniferous deposits, and even diamonds, and the forest resources there are also inexhaustible. ”

My words were like once again drawing a huge pie in the sky for these ministers here, and I saw in their eyes once again that greedy green light

The strategic significance of the Siberian region is far more than that, and after the invention of the internal combustion engine in the Great Song Dynasty, the oil and gas resources under that vast land will once again be filled with energy for the Great Song Dynasty to conquer the world

As I continue to tell them about the richness of Siberia, and my thoughts continue to fly with my question, four hundred years from now, Ms. Sophia, I am afraid that you will never exist in the future world again, and those Western careerists who are also ambitious and constantly watching the fat of the Eastern Empire, I am afraid that when the time comes, I will knock on the door of your country in a very unfriendly way, and will unceremoniously invite your queens, princesses, princesses, or noble ladies to dance for me, As for whether to let them dance a beautiful waltz of the West, or a wild Yangge of northern Shaanxi, it depends on the mood of me, the emperor of the Eastern Empire, at that time

"Ministry of Industry, how is the task of building a small military fortress on the grassland?"

"Long live, at present, a large number of slaves are mainly focused on the continuous construction of roads in the country, and all the slaves sent to the grassland add up to only 200,000, so there is still a big gap between the progress of building those small military fortresses and your expectations, Your Majesty."

"Will the construction of the starting point city meet my expectations?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, as a military fortress that is not particularly comfortable, because it was built on the mountain, it was only a little slower when the foundation was tamped at that time, and the current construction progress is still very fast."

"Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Households, for the matter of the people moving north, you two departments must also deal with this matter quickly, I don't want there to be few Han people in the northern world of Nuoda."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, after Lord Zheng took over the publicity of this matter, the number of people who moved north has increased significantly." Liu Shihai said

"Yes, the Zheng Qing family seems to be very good at the size of the Ministry of Rites."

"Thank you for Your Majesty's praise and trust, and the minister will continue to do his best to share your Majesty's worries."

"The household department continued to vigorously encourage the people to have children, and if they could not raise them in the Central Plains, they were encouraged to move to the newly occupied places in the north, and the subsidies given to them by the imperial court were enough for them to start a new life."

"Obey." (To be continued.) )
