Lin Dan Khan's movements, Zhu Youxiao was naturally aware of it.

"Lin Dan Khan is brutal and unkind, oppressing ordinary Mongolian tribes, this is a good excuse to continue repairing Lin Dan Khan!" Zhu Youxiao immediately realized a good opportunity.

But think about it, forget it, the Ming Dynasty has not fully digested the occupied grassland for the time being, and now that natural disasters are frequent, the national strength is still used in internal construction to enhance the ability to resist disasters.

When the situation eases up a bit, it's not too late to repair Lin Dan Khan.

However, Lin Dan Khan's various actions still aroused Zhu Youxiao's vigilance, and he held a meeting of the Supreme Command in Chengde.

"Our current cavalry force is still too small, and if Lin Dan Khan integrates the forces on the grassland, it will still be a great threat to the Ming Dynasty. In particular, the border between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia is relatively long, and once Lin Dan Khan starts to fight guerrilla warfare with us, it will be enough for us to have a headache at that time. Zhu Youxiao said that he was a little worried about the current situation on the grassland.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the cavalry troops should indeed be increased, but if all professional soldiers are used, the military expenditure will be too high." Sun Chuanting proposed: "We can increase the size of the cavalry by using a mixed model of professional soldiers and compulsory soldiers, and we can increase the length of compulsory service in the cavalry unit to five to six years." ”

"Aiqing's method is good, how many cavalry can we equip with the military horses we currently have?" Zhu Youxiao asked. Lu Xiangsheng, who was in charge of this work, replied: "Back to Your Majesty, we originally had more than 200,000 military horses, and last autumn we purchased nearly 100,000 war horses from Mongolian herdsmen, and the number of war horses once reached 300,000, but we cut out 100,000 inferior war horses and handed them over to the infantry. There are still 200,000 horses. ”

"Then add another 50,000 cavalry. Mixed training with existing cavalry. Zhu Youxiao decided. Strive to form a sufficiently strong combat power within two years. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Nowadays, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty is all configured with one person and two horses, and there is also a walking horse. And the size of the equipment of the mobility horse in the infantry is also increasing.

This is also one of the advantages of the Mongolian steppe being included in the ruling area, and at the same time, the Mongols also brought many excellent scouts to the Ming army.

The cavalry of the Mongols was very unsuitable for the cavalry combat mode of the Ming army, which was extremely disciplined, but after all, the Mongols had good riding skills, and under the same equipment, the individual combat ability was generally stronger than that of the Ming scouts. Of course, not all of them are like this, and there are still many scouts in the Ming army who have practiced martial arts. And as a Ming army at this time, he was a professional soldier.

Another problem with the Mongolian cavalry acting as scouts is that they don't know how to draw, so the Mongolian scouts are mainly mixed with the Ming army scouts.

The Central Army of the Ming Army had 25 infantry divisions at this time, the cavalry was expanding to 100,000, and the overall strength rose to 350,000, which is actually not much for a huge country.

In order to reduce military spending, after Zhu Youxiao went to Chengde, he continued to dismantle border towns and guard posts. At this time, Yansui Town in northern Shaanxi had been successfully dismantled, and most of the nearly 100,000 military households had emigrated to the northeast. Soon, Zhu Youxiao and the cabinet aimed the dismissal at Datong Town and Taiyuan Town.

The resettlement of officers and soldiers in Datong Town and Taiyuan Town is still a large number of immigrants to the northeast region. At the same time, you can also change jobs to become workers in state-owned enterprises.

With the issuance of banknotes, state-owned enterprises took the lead.

Zhu Youxiao brought out the development model of China in later generations -- the 'ultimate East Asian model'. This model is to provide a large number of low-interest loans to state-owned enterprises, so as to achieve rapid construction and development of major industries. At the same time, a large number of industrial zones will be built to drive employment, increase business activities, and so on.

The model of providing a large number of low-interest loans to state-owned enterprises has enough room to maneuver after the issuance of paper money. Even if a state-owned enterprise loses money, it can still be made up for by issuing paper money.

Of course, at this time, the state-owned enterprises set up by Zhu Youxiao were competing with each other, and there were generally two state-owned enterprises in the same industry, plus one enterprise in which state-owned capital and individual capital were jointly owned. Several companies engage in healthy competition, and whose performance is poor means that there is a problem, whether there is corruption or a mistake in decision-making, and when the time comes, it will be known that the reorganization should be carried out, and the general will be replaced.

These private capitalists who can enter the state-owned capital monopoly industry are all red-top businessmen, and their shares usually do not exceed 10% when they are in joint ventures.

With the nationalization of royal capital, industrial monopolies began to come to the fore.

Soon after, the Cabinet introduced the "Financial Nationalization Act", announcing the liquidation and closure of all money banks and pawnshops in the New Deal area.

Liquidation means that all deposits in the bank are returned to the depositor.

The cabinet bill is simply a declaration of war on the Jin merchants, and as soon as the policy is introduced, the Jin merchants cry wolf again. But there is no other way to cry and howl.

At this time, the state-owned consortium capital has developed to a point where it does not need to rely on them.

The imperial court wants to shut down the money bank, and they can't twist their arms and thighs. Who would dare to wrestle with the imperial court now? Don't you die fast enough?

At this time, the state-owned banks did not need to rely too much on the ticket number system of the Jin merchants, because the royal banks had been distributed throughout the New Deal area. At the same time, in the northern provinces and provinces, there are already branches of the river branch.

After the Royal Bank was reorganized into a central bank, it set off another round of network expansion, and the business network in the Northeast region, Zhendong Province, Taiwan Province and Luzon Province will be completely improved. At the same time, it began to set up online stores in Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan provinces, states and counties, and issued banknotes to northern provinces.

Outside of the New Deal, the banknote issuance policy of the northern provinces was different, first of all, paper money and silver dollars could be freely exchanged at banks. Adopt the attitude of using it and not using it.

However, after the introduction of paper money in the northern provinces, it was quickly accepted by the market, mainly because many of the commodity pricing power is controlled by state-owned consortia.

First of all, grain, the Jimin Grain Bank has developed in the northern provinces in recent years, and through the adjustment of grain in various localities, the market grain price has basically stabilized.

At the same time, there is also steel, and at this time the northern steel market has been completely occupied by state-owned steel.

The pricing power of coal, cotton cloth, and salt is also in the hands of state-owned consortia, and as long as you hold paper money, you can buy these things that are closely related to the lives of ordinary people, which gives paper money purchasing power and value. On the contrary, it is inconvenient to buy these goods with silver dollars, and they must be exchanged for paper money before they can be purchased.

Therefore, in the northern provinces, Tianqi Tongbao was also quickly welcomed by the people because of its strong purchasing power and ease of use.

As the business outlets of the central bank began to be fully laid in the northern provinces, the Shanxi ticket numbers in the northern provinces were basically in a state of waiting for death.

Several Shanxi ticket numbers were declared bankrupt at the time of liquidation because of the misappropriation of funds for investment, and the assets have been collected by the Beizhili Court for auction liquidation.

Nowadays, the economic development situation is still relatively good, and most of them are still able to pay off debts after liquidation, and the excess part will be returned to the ticket number merchants.

The silver dollars in the northern provinces were also quickly caught by the central bank because of the large issuance of paper money, and the circulation of paper money in the northern provinces also laid a good foundation for the next economic take-off.

In order to thoroughly integrate the northern provinces and bring them into a state of large-scale construction, it is necessary to have the four major elements of agriculture, transportation, administration, and currency.

The currency is already there, the main road line is being built, and the administrative and agricultural aspects are being prepared.

The main purpose of the administration is to have enough reliable officials, and the Han Emperor Party is recruiting party members everywhere at this time, but the review of this kind of absorption is very strict, so as to avoid the phenomenon of mixing fish and dragons. At the same time, the advanced courses of the University of Political Science and Law have been held one after another, and the reserve of administrative personnel is being actively carried out.

As long as there were enough honest officials familiar with the New Deal model, the entire north could be included in the administrative region.

In terms of agriculture, the establishment of a commercial grain base in Northeast China is to concentrate on agricultural production and transportation construction in the main areas of development in Northeast China at this time.

After all, in order to get a large number of peasants in the northern provinces to leave the land and enter the construction sites, the money must first be distributed to these peasant workers, so that they can earn money through industrial construction. This paper money can also be solved, but the purchasing power of paper money depends on the supply of goods, so agricultural production must keep up.

Agricultural production has kept up, and it still needs to be able to be transported, so transportation needs to be improved.

In addition to the development of a large amount of land in the northeast region, agriculture is also vigorously developing fisheries. Japan's Hokkaido fishery has also become the fishing ground of Zhendong Province in the Ming Dynasty at this time, and the fishing scale of the six years of the Apocalypse has expanded again, and last year's fishing has made fishermen and enterprises taste the sweetness.

Although saury and sturgeon are relatively cheap, they can't afford to be in large quantities! It is a few hundred catties to go down casually, and it is terrifying enough to sell 1~2 yuan per catty of pickled fish. The freight is very cheap, after all, it is sea freight.

Especially in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the first 2,000-ton merchant ship was successfully launched.

This is developed and manufactured by the national force, and Zhu Youxiao used the national power to organize scientific research at this time, and this efficiency is naturally leveraged.

It was not until the two world wars in Europe and the United States that the phenomenon of organizing scientific research activities with national forces appeared, and the previous scientific research activities were basically scattered.

The Navy is not equipped with such 2,000-ton warships, and the 1,500-ton gunboats finalized by the Navy are enough, and a few have not yet been built! So there is little demand for such 2000-ton gunboats.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was still in a state of lack of money, and Zhu Youxiao was naturally the first to apply 2,000-ton sailing ships to business.

For every 2x increase in vessel tonnage, only 1.5x more propulsion is required, which means that the larger the vessel, the less thrust is required and a greater proportion of space is available for loading cargo. (To be continued.) )
