"Go west, for the sake of the God Emperor!"

"Go west, march to the Great Northwest!"

"Go west, for Dragon City!"

……

Immediately after that, the headlines of almost all the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty became the slogan in response to the Emperor's call to build Xijing Dragon City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Longcheng is the name given by Yang Feng to Xijing, the original historical Longcheng is in Mongolia, that is, Anbei Province of the Ming Dynasty, but it is basically a no-man's land now, only occasionally a few herdsmen used to graze, in fact, even the entire Anbei Province is less than two million people, after all, the previous war caused too much damage to this land, and the name Longcheng has long been no longer used, so Yang Feng simply identified him in Xijing, Almaty and named Longcheng.

It's not just newspapers that follow.

Propaganda posters, leaflets, speeches, and even the latest loudspeakers, as well as various forms of opera performances, etc., it can be said that all the propaganda machines of the Ming Dynasty are all activated, even the priests of the Holy Shrine have become speeches for the construction of the Dragon City for the Emperor during the sermon, and even the primary school students have gone home to promote the great significance of the construction of the Dragon City to their parents in accordance with the requirements of the school, it can be said that the entire Ming Dynasty from south to north and east to west, all are discussing the topic of Xijing Dragon City, Even in the distant Golden State teahouse and wine shop, the name of Xijing appeared in the mouths of the idlers.

Xijing is good!

The fertile fields are all fertile fields that can be cultivated, the land is fertile, the water is abundant and the sun is shining, and whoever goes there to settle and reclaim the famine, the government not only does not collect taxes for 50 years, but also gives five slaves for free.

What, where is the desert?

Nonsense, the desert is only a very small part, and the north and south of the mountains are all good places that day, otherwise what did the people of dozens of small countries in the Western Regions eat and drink back then?

As the Tang poem says, the wind blows the stones as big as a bucket.

There are a few reliable words of the poet, do you believe in Tang poetry or the emperor?

Xijing is good!

There are coal mines, iron mines, gold mines, copper mines, and even oil fields, and there are no taxes for 10 years to invest in factories there, and the government also pays additional subsidies for the first five years, which is like picking up gold for nothing.

What, the distance is too far to be transported back?

Repair the railway, I didn't see it in the newspapers, within ten years, the national railway will build the railway to Longcheng, what are you afraid of if there is a railway?

The railway has not yet arrived in Qinzhou, is it too exaggerated to build 5,000 miles in ten years.

I didn't go to Qinzhou because there is Qishan, and then there are no mountains to the west, and there are no big rivers and the like, after the Qishan Mountain, the west is all a flat river, there is no need to bother to build bridges and tunnels, just lay rails on the ground, say you know how to build railways or the masters of the national railway?

……

Well, propaganda is actually all like this.

Even the Daming Daily, which is the mouthpiece of the Ming government, took out a full page and published a picture of Emperor Yang dancing with a golden dragon behind his head with twelve crowns, and then pointed at the reader with his right index finger with a serious face, and above his head were four large characters that were said to be written by the emperor himself......

I need you!

And then immediately after that, the same propaganda posters were plastered all over the Ming Dynasty.

"That's the power of faith!"

Emperor Yang said with satisfaction.

The results were very gratifying to him, because the appeal personally initiated by the Emperor of God, whether it was the mobilization of skilled workers in the factories and mines, or the agitation of the peasants in the villages, the attitude of the civil servants of government agencies towards the transfer of the west, or the enthusiasm of the capital circles for the development of the western region, had reached a level of satisfaction to him.

In fact, he underestimated his status in the minds of the common people at this time.

In more than ten years, he led the people of this country not only to destroy the alien rulers, but also to develop into the world's only superpower, so that the common people's dream of abundant food and clothing for thousands of years has become the most trivial thing, so that their children can study in school, so that their women can wear gold and silver, so that they can change from the lowest citizens to the people of the kingdom who can look down on all foreign races, so that they can live in the fearful eyes of those foreign slaves every day.

At this time, he has completely become a god in the minds of the common people.

It's not that he is a god who is pretending to be a god, but in the minds of the common people, he is really worshiped as a god, and the Ming Dynasty from those consortium capitalists to ordinary farmers who farm, it can be said that he worships him as a god from the bottom of his heart, and he gives these people everything they didn't dare to think of in the past.

Neither the rich nor the common people dared to imagine anything.

The wealth of the plutocrats is inflated in a crazy way, the industrial system supported by technological superiority, cheap resources, and various privileges in the subject countries, constantly sending the raw materials that the subordinate colonies are half-robbed and half-bought into their factories every day, and then turning them into various industrial products and releasing them, unscrupulously attacking the markets of one country after another, sucking gold and silver from these countries into their pockets, and creating wealth myths through the booming stock market. In front of them, the past wealth record is like a joke not worth mentioning, their wealth has increased several times and more than ten times in more than ten years, and the top rich make the rich rival no longer just an exaggerated adjective.

Take the original Yangzhou salt merchant as an example.

At present, Cheng Zhiyi's family assets are estimated to be at least three million taels according to the newspaper, and this number is also this number in the Kang Mazi era, but in the Kang Mazi era, it was three million taels of silver, and now it is three million taels of gold, this number is completely unthinkable that he never dreamed of before, you must know that in the past, Kang Mazi's treasury was not so much, and his past millions of family properties were already considered to be rich in the world, and now it looks like a joke at that time, and now this money can't even rank in the top 100, and he is not the richest in the Ming Dynasty.

At present, the richest person in Daming is the second shareholder of Jinzhou Company who was originally netted by Yang Feng, and now Duan Yu, the general manager of Jinzhou Company.

He spent 1,000 taels of silver to buy 10,000 shares of the Golden State Company, and now the market value of this 10,000 shares alone is 100,000 dragon yuan, in fact, these years because of his conscientious work, in the distant Golden State presided over the development, Emperor Yang has been rewarded year after year, he already has 10% of the shares, and now the market value of the Golden State Company is 300 million dragon yuan, and it is still appreciating. Because of the large-scale production of silver mines in North Golden State, last year the Golden State Company produced a full 100 tons of gold and 500 tons of silver, adding up to almost 60 million dragon dollars, not counting the income of other copper mines.

In fact, the first batch of investors who bought shares of Golden State Company at the beginning of the year, at this time, any one of them could be ranked in the top 100 of the Ming Rich List, and this company was completely like a non-stop minting machine.

In fact, it's a mint.

What it provided for the Ming Empire was all the most valuable real money.

These are the capitalists.

And what about the ordinary peasants at the bottom of the empire?

Although they still have a limit of fifteen acres of land, but because of the construction of a large number of water conservancy facilities, the continuous promotion of improved varieties and even the emergence of chemical fertilizers, the yield per mu is almost double that of the past, and only fifteen acres of land is enough for their whole family to eat, after all, they only need to pay only one percent of the rent.

And the development of industrialization has also made countless opportunities for them to make money, and they do not need to rely completely on the land at all.

Even now ordinary peasants are popular to spend money to buy a brown slave or a Japanese slave, and then let the slave plant the fifteen acres of land for him, and at the same time do almost all the chores in the house, and as the head of the family, they go out to find a job, as a trader, literate is better, because slaves are not allowed to be literate so they are still very easy to find a job, even if they don't know anything, neither literate nor skilled, that ......

That one can actually go and be a thug for the big slave owners.

Slaves were not allowed to touch weapons, but those factories who did not have a group of muskets with bayonets on them, and who were lazy in the workshop were directly overseers with a whip!

In short, at this time, the Ming Dynasty was a real prosperous era, a splendid and prosperous era that had never been seen until this era, and even looking at the world, there has never been such a prosperous and powerful empire so far. As a member of this prosperous age, whether it is in the eyes of the rich and rich, or in the eyes of the most ordinary people, the people who brought them all this, their Emperor Majesty, is their god, the undoubted god, the god who gives them grace, the god who shines on their hearts, their faith, their light, their sun......

Uh, their loving father.

Now isn't it just to repair a Xijing, since it is a loving father who spoke, it must be all out, isn't it to move people to open up a wasteland, these years have gone out to immigrate to open up a wasteland, those immigrants in Sichuan who do not raise dozens of slaves are embarrassed to say hello to people when they go out, those immigrants in the Northeast forget to bring money after drinking and directly shoot an old ginseng on the counter, not to mention those immigrants in Nanyang who are all grooms every night, although the mainland life is comfortable, but after all, there is a sign of class solidification, It is not easy for those aristocratic rich people to climb up with the bottom on their heads, but it is easier to get rich when they go out.

So after Yang Feng's call for westward expansion was issued, a boom was unexpectedly set off in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

Even some wealthy people have taken the initiative to start donating money for the construction of Xijing, after all, such a huge city, plus the construction of such a long railway, all need huge funds, in other words, the Ming finance has been theoretically in the middle of making ends meet, every year the emperor needs to take his own income subsidies, now the construction of Xijing, finance alone is definitely not enough, and the emperor has to pay for it himself.

But what is this like?

How can there be a reason for the emperor to pay for the construction of Xijing, this is an opportunity for the people of the whole country to show filial piety to their loving father, the cost of Xijing is raised by the people, and then it is enough to let the monarchs of those subject countries pay a part of their filial piety!
