Chapter 372: Why Invest Real Money in Infrastructure?

We are basically familiar with the matter of infrastructure construction, and as far as Li Mengyang is concerned, it is all a set.

If you want to get rich, build roads first, have fewer children and grow more trees!

If you don't want to be poor, have fewer children and raise bears......

Well, don't dwell on these slips, infrastructure construction is of course an important means of engaging in the economy, but this construction is also of great benefit to Li Mengyang, the emperor's Tongzhi!

As far as Li Mengyang's current infrastructure construction is concerned, everyone can see that it is not river remediation, not farmland planning, but transportation construction, and the laying of telegraph lines, which are already very popular.

Then these things, obviously, are to promote economic development, promote exchanges and integration, then of course the benefit is the economy, this truth is a politician he understands.

But in fact, it is these things that promote communication and integration, that is simply too good for Li Mengyang, his rule is old and stable, don't forget, Li Mengyang is a Chinese, he is a Chinese emperor, and the entire Chinese are still a minority in the United States!

To say that good transportation is helpful to the rule has actually started since ancient times.

When Qin Shi Huang, he unified the six countries, and the small country suddenly became bigger, which will definitely bring a series of ruling problems, and the decree cannot be delivered, so the Qin Dynasty built a road, called 'Chi Dao', which is also very famous.

It's a bit like France, radiating out......

Later, the Emperor Yang of Sui, who was scolded miserably, had a black spot and also built the Grand Canal.

But what is the Grand Canal for?

The north and the south are connected all at once!

These examples are actually very easy for Li Mengyang to see clearly. That is, to rule this thing. Actually, in reality. It is determined by objective natural conditions, time and space!

How far can this limitation of time and space go?

Besides, the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was the battle that Gao Xianzhi lost, and it was this battle that actually marked a territory!

That is to say, the entire historical territory of the Chinese nation is the largest.

Some people will definitely say, did Li Mengyang forget about Mongolia? Forget about Genghis Khan's descendants?

Didn't forget. And that's a counterexample.

If you look at history, you will know that although the Mongol army is powerful, it is invincible all over the world...... The reason is also very simple, it is also a national integration, let's just say that there are many Han people and Han officers in the army, and there are Khitan politicians like Yelu Chucai...... The territory of the Mongol Empire was huge, huge, but it quickly broke up.

Those khanates, although the monarchs are all descendants of Genghis Khan. But this just shows that the matter of domination is limited by space and time. Bloodlines or anything don't work.

At that time, the biggest thing was like that, because of the information transmission problem back then, at that time, a government decree in the capital had to go to the place, and the farthest place would take 3 months to send a letter even if it was a post station, so how could you control various places?

To tell the truth, our Chinese ancestors are really very smart, and the idea of great unification has really played a great role in maintaining the rule, which is ideological, and the other is the great integration of nationalities, which is really very thrilling.

But now let's look at the map of this part of the United States, and the large territory that Li Mengyang, the emperor of the empire, has conquered.

It's really the limit!

If it weren't for the fact that the empire had shown crushing combat effectiveness in many battles, of course, there were many reasons for this, mainly because the generals of this era really hadn't seen this kind of fighting, so they said that they would charge immediately after finishing the artillery, and there was no one in Europe now, and the United States was the only one in the world.

There is also the fact that our warriors seem to be immortal, this is the Imperial Army in the eyes of the opponent, because penicillin has been discovered on the Imperial side, although this thing is not cheap now, but it can really survive!

Such a strong strength temporarily deterred these individuals in the east, but they must find other ways to further strengthen their rule!

Moreover, with such realistic conditions, and there is also the problem of race, money is the best tool to break discrimination, and it is just right, both sides of the American Civil War are very hurt, this time under the big investment, are there any unhappy people who are engaged in the economy and politics on this investment?

The launch of such a large-scale infrastructure construction at this time is simply the right time and place, and the name is justified, the common people, and the capitalists, and it can also help Li Mengyang, the emperor, to sit firmly in this position as a Chinese minority emperor!

Imagine that the railroad was already good, and then it was strengthened, the east and west sides were connected, and then there was the blessing of the highway, and the land of America was made into a place like a spider's web, and the spider silk was added to the telegraph, a powerful tool of communication that could travel thousands of miles in an instant, which ......

Li Mengyang, the emperor of the American Empire, really ruled all parties safely and steadily!

This future is still promising, and back to the current negotiations in Williamsburg, the southern side is also very happy after listening to Li Mengyang's specific plan, this emperor wants to take out real money!

In short, everything is developing in a good direction, then everyone is happy, since they are happy, then, can the steel battleship outside Williamsburg be visited?

"Gentlemen! Ladies! The San Francisco is the highest technological product of our empire! It is also the strongest warship in the world today! On this battleship, the power system was three heavy oil boilers, which were developed by the Empire's Honored Scientist, Minister of Science, and distinguished member of the Civic Party. Invented by Mr. Thomson! The design of the hull was designed by a great scientist, but also an outstanding writer, painter and composer...... His Majesty the Great Emperor, Clint. Meng Yang. Created by His Majesty Lee I! ……”

Tours made up of key negotiators from the South...... Oh, no, it's the touring group, they boarded the San Francisco. And the one who received the delegation. That, of course, is the Minister of Propaganda Liszt. This guy is introducing the various situations of this giant ship with great emotion, and of course the most talked about is His Majesty the Emperor.

A little pat on the back, Liszt is very experienced in this aspect, so in this case, His Majesty the Emperor also came?

"Why are these titles of yours so strange? ......"Well, since there are 'ladies', then of course there is Eleanor, and at this time Eleanor has little interest in this ship. So she and Li Mengyang walked in the back.

The so-called interest, that is, curiosity, everyone has this thing in their hearts, and such a steel warship in front of them is really itchy to watch, why don't they want to come and see this group of high-level political and military leaders in the south?

And Eleanor is obviously paying attention to other things, and Li Mengyang's titles......

"Is it strange? How do I not think? Li Mengyang replied with a smile, although Eleanor was still dressed as a man at this time, she still couldn't hide her beauty.

All right. Li Mengyang is definitely in the eyes of a lover, and the two have been separated for so long...... The more I look at it, the more I look like Emma. Watson......

"Don't bluff me!" Apparently. Although Eleanor and Li Mengyang have been separated for a long time, she really knows the person in front of her too well, "It's not that I don't know the situation of other emperors, whose title is not the name of a string of territories?" Even if you Chinese are the current emperor, you want to overthrow him all the time, and he also has the names of many territories, such as Mongolia...... What a plateau ......"

Eleanor is really right, that is, the traditional emperor, and even the imperial power, after all, it is still based on the model of feudal society, the word feudalism does not mean closed construction, feudalism refers to the fact that this society is layer by layer, layer by layer, and this seal, that is naturally to speak according to the land.

This is a very real situation, the ruling restrictions of the feudal imperial power are also here, that is, they are limited by space and time, they can only do this, even if it is the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty...... In fact, as long as you take a serious look at the title on the head of the Manchu emperor, it is not difficult to find that the Manchu side is very different from the European side, and the 'place name' on his head is less tight.

Of course, there are a lot of truths in this, and it is not easy for Li Mengyang to explain to Eleanor, but the reason why he has such a title, Li Mengyang has a unique idea.

"Actually, these titles are just titles, honors." Li Mengyang explained with a smile.

"Honor?" This answer is obviously different from Eleanor's understanding, because where is the title of emperor honor? That's all meaningful, with territory!

"Anyway, you can rest assured, it's good for me." Li Mengyang looked at Eleanor's little face, of course he couldn't bear it, so he said more.

What are the benefits? Li Mengyang didn't say much, Eleanor naturally didn't want to ask, but in fact, there were great benefits in this.

It still has something to do with Li Mengyang, the Chinese emperor, he is a minority, and the minority, now Li Mengyang wants to have dozens of states in the United States, and each state still has diplomatic rights, such as the Secretary of State's 'State Yuan'. What can be done if such a place builds a unified empire?

Li Mengyang's method is to make himself, the emperor, not have any regional names on his title!

In fact, Li Mengyang can call himself the Earl of California, or the conqueror of Texas and the defender of New York...... You can use all of these titles, it's nothing, but what are the consequences when you call them like that?

Then I still maintain the original feeling of 'state', the state is STAT, this word has the meaning of the country, so Li Mengyang wants to be unified, can he keep this concept?

Of course, it has to be killed, and the iron hooves of my empire have really destroyed these states, and I want you to throw away this concept now, how can you not accept it?

At this time, the empire was still in a state, giving people the feeling of being extremely powerful and particularly powerful, and it was just the right time to use this period to eliminate the feeling of the previous 'state'.

Let's implement the provincial system now......

Later, when the railway network, the highway network, and the telegraph network were all established, the concept of great unification was implanted through ideological education...... We're Chinese the best at it...... At that time, Li Mengyang, the emperor's country, wasn't it like an iron bucket?

So, don't underestimate the title of these titles, this is a small matter, but the changes it can cause are huge...... In fact, this is also in line with Li Mengyang's consistent governing philosophy, that is, we don't do big things, we just start small, just like repairing toilets at the beginning......

Eleanor and Li Mengyang had a very lively chat, and the southern side also knew that they were talented and beautiful, and they were not easy to object, but there was one person who looked at this situation and felt very uncomfortable......

So who is this? (To be continued......)

PS: What's that, yesterday was Double Ten, the black car saw that we had a cute festival on the Internet, and some people said that it was a day of caring for the mentally ill, but it was not ...... This is the festival on the treasure island, people's National Day!

The black car is here to tell the truth, the black car really doesn't sour their mentality, really, they will be engaged in the National Day, which is nothing. However, when the black car accidentally saw the sign on the side of the treasure island, it was like selling the cute festival on our side, and there was also a sign, but this sign was ...... ...... This is really it! Black cars don't lie! Absolutely no lies! That's what they really do!

It can really be said that the orthodoxy of Chinese culture is on the treasure island, and it is awesome to blacken itself!

Not much to say, the black car asks for support, hehe!
