Chapter 771: Great Northwest Economic Zone

On the left bank of the Tsna River in the Volga basin, Tambov in the spring is an ancient, tranquil and beautiful Russian city.

It was built in 1636, and although it has experienced many wars, there are still many old buildings here, most of which are from the 17th ~ 18th centuries. There are many churches along the banks of the Zna River, which are examples of early 18th-century Russian architecture. At the same time, it is also the border junction between the Moscow government and the Yan State, and the transportation is convenient. From here you can get to Moscow directly by train, which takes just a dozen hours away.

As a result, this is the main point of communication between China and Moscow, and dozens of trains pass through here every day.

"Hey, citizen, why are you in a hurry, is there a fire in your house?"

Rubensky, a government accounting clerk newly transferred to Tambov, was much taller than the young man in front of him who had bumped into him in a hurry, not to mention that he had a pistol at his waist. There were enemies inside and outside the Moscow government, so government workers were allowed to wear pistols. The citizen who hit the person hurriedly explained: "That's the kind of gentleman. The steam boiler of the train, which had just been Chinese, malfunctioned and stopped at the Tambov railway station, the train was laden with food and supplies, and they were assigned to our city on the spot by Moscow......"

"You're in a hurry to go shopping?"

"Yes sir. I need food. The day before yesterday Tambov's bread ration was again restricted, and I had to take advantage of the opportunity to buy some potatoes and flour, as well as butter and bacon. My lovely brother and sister haven't eaten meat for half a month. ”

"Haha, good luck to Tambov. We had a train of substance, and the Chinese bacon tasted good. Rubensky laughed. The food is already open to the public, so the government will definitely be better prepared. Rubensky, who had been eating in the city hall cafeteria, had already tasted the deliciousness of bacon and sausages.

Got a haircut at the barbershop. When Rubensky returned to the city hall, he saw a long queue of people in front of a public shop not far from the city hall. Even so, there are still many people coming from all over the world.

Russia at war. Russia, which has lost Ukraine, its main breadbasket, is severely short of grain, butter, meat, dairy products and everything else in Moscow and St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, of course, was supported by most of Europe, and Moscow was supported by China. Everything is on the books, and China is not providing it for free. Liu Xian tended to be strong in the history of the radical faction of the poor party in Russia, and did not think that in the Russian battlefield where external forces could not intervene on a large scale, the radical faction of the poor party would lose to the dish faction. He was confident that he would recover the account!

Wheat, potatoes, meat, and dairy products, while Inner Mongolia's dairy products began to decline due to the end of the North American War, the whole of Central Asia and Yanzhao were rapidly accumulating wealth because of the Russian war.

The Chinese dollar succeeded in replacing all the currencies of Central Asia, and a large number of gold and silver coins were collected into national savings. The manufacturing industries of the entire west are desperately trying to produce their products, because they have the whole of Central Asia, including Afghanistan, and the Yan, Zhao, Ukraine, and half of Russia as markets. These places are not very rich, and their per capita consumption is much lower than that of China's domestic market and Europe, but there are many of them.

The most important thing is that it is a circle of interests that develops for the better. Central Asia and Yan and Zhao made a profit by exporting large quantities of meat, dairy products, wheat, potatoes, and liquor, and then used this profit to buy many of the necessities of life, many of which came from the manufacturing industry in the west, whose sales were expanding. As the interests increase, they naturally feed back to their locations. In this way, more local wealth will be actively invested in manufacturing and emerging industries, which will promote local economic development. Strengthened China's industrial power!

A great northwest economic circle in a continuous cycle of interests!

Because all exports to Russia and Ukraine need government forces to intervene in the middle, the Chinese dollar has become a unified payment currency. This expanded the influence of Huayuan and, of course, increased the government's fiscal expenditure. Because the Moscow side is mostly IOUs. Even if China's finances are a little small, it is impossible to support the consumption of the whole of Russia. That's why China does it. The reason why the cabinet did this, the reason why Liu Xian agreed to do it. In the final analysis, it is to buy the whole of Central Asia with profits, so that the Chinese government can better absorb and digest the Central Asian region.

In any case, more than 90% of the war bonds have been turned into land bonds in units of 100 million in the past year. The cost of migration is greatly reduced, and the great migration has changed from the previous government-led to the current people-led. Millions of Chinese pawn sellers later took the initiative to migrate to North America and the South Seas, and the post-war pressure on China's finances was almost non-existent.

Muhammad. Ali. When the Persian mission led by Sha stepped into Central Asia, the whole of Central Asia was such a 'glorious' scene, and none of the Persians who saw it did not salivate. The 'beauty' of Central Asia contrasts with the darkness of Persia. Ali. As the son of the Persian Shah, although Shah has not yet been made the crown prince, it is impossible not to be shocked in his heart.

Especially in Turkmenistan. The neighbor of the Persian kingdom was Turkmenistan, and if Persia did not know much about the rest of Central Asia, they knew very well about Turkmenistan. At the first stop in Central Asia, the Akhal Oasis, close to Persia, the life of the Turkmen was simply blinded by Muhammad. Ali. Eyes of the sand!

It can only be said that he is too rich. Here the life of the Turkmen people is completely beyond that of Muhammad. Ali. Cognition of the sand! He must have thought that the Turkmen here were all nobles.

Fortunately Muhammad. Ali. Sha quickly figured out the reason - Akhal-Tekinma. The Akhal Oasis is the main production area of Akhal-Teke today. Chinese call the Akhal-Tekin horse sweat blood BMW, because the skin of the Akhal-tekin horse is very thin, a violent run blood flow in the blood vessels is easy to see, in addition, the horse's shoulders and neck sweat glands are developed, the horse sweats often first wet and then wet, for the jujube red or maroon hair of the horse, the local color will appear more vivid after sweating, giving people the illusion of 'bleeding', the Chinese call it sweat blood BMW! More than 2,000 years ago, their emperor sent a large army to conquer Central Asia in order to demand the Akhal-Tejin horse. Now the Chinese royal family, the nobles and the rich highly respect the Akhal-Teke horse, a horse in the Akhal Oasis can be sold for millions of Chinese yuan, if brought to the hinterland of China, or to participate in the Chinese horse race, the benefits will be greater, the price will be higher!

There were more than 10,000 pure-blooded Akhal-teke horses in the Akhal-Tekin Oasis, and when the Chinese defense forces appeared in the city of Ashgabat [in the oasis], they took away a large number of Akhal-teke horses, which belonged to some of the Turkmen nobles who chose to resist, and some of which were sacrificed by the Turkmen who chose to obey - but still left five or six thousand. The total number of Turkmen in Central Asia is only five or six hundred thousand, and the Akhal oasis is a very important gathering place for Turkmen, and there are only two or three hundred thousand people. Ali. Sha saw such abundance.

The Turkmen have now established three breeding farms around the city of Ashgabat, which they operate as their main economic mainstay. This year they are also preparing to hold the first Akhal-Teke Horse Race, where the best horses in the herd will be selected, which will increase the price of horses. They're going to keep it going year after year.

Muhammad. Ali. Sha's heart was not relieved until it entered Bukhara. This Uzbek city, once the heart of the Bukhara Khanate, is now just one of many ordinary cities in Central Asia where China has not yet ended its military rule. Here, the life of the Uzbeks, although incomparable to that of the Persian civilians, was no longer as rich as that of the Turkmens, which irritated the Persian mission.

However, the Uzbeks' endless arable land and stable and peaceful atmosphere still made Muhammad . Ali. Sand Look. His kingdom, Persia, also had fertile land, but it had not been stable or peaceful for a long time.

Muhammad. Ali. Sha also saw a lot of textile factories in Bukhara, which were either state-owned by the government, or invested by local aristocrats and foreign Chinese billionaires, because the cotton production of Central Asia, especially the Uzbeks, has increased year by year, and a large number of Chinese immigrants have also planted cotton, which is as vigorous as the rapidly developing cotton planting industry in Xinjiang. Naturally, yarn mills and textile mills came here one after another.

Muhammad. Ali. Of course, Sha is also concerned about faith, is the Green Religion severely suppressed under Chinese rule? As a result, the Persians saw the monster of the Religious Bureau. He is as high as the emperor of all faiths. Some of the more extreme factions of the Green Church in Central Asia were restricted by it, but most were freed.

The high-level people in Persia are also well aware of the scene that was carried out by the Chinese Green Church more than 30 years ago. Although the person who quelled the rebellion of the True God Cult in northwest China was not the current emperor of China, the person who pacified Xinjiang and Agubo was the current emperor of China. At that time, there were rumors of 'persecution' of the Green Cultists in China, and some of them are still circulating in the heavenly world. It's a dead knot that can't be untied on both sides!

The Chinese government is also able to allow the majority of the Green Sects to preach freely, and the vast number of Green Sects can only worship and listen to the voice of the true God, which is already quite magnanimous. The Chinese have shown with practical actions that they have let go of their old grudges! Muhammad. Ali. Sha walked from Central Asia to Xinjiang, and from Xinjiang to Gansu, his heart was full of good feelings about China.

One word - good!

Two words - satisfied!

Three words - very relieved! (To be continued......)
