Chapter 403: The Seventeenth Princess's Actions
When Mo Lun's fat figure disappeared behind the door, Qin Duan gently lay on his back on the easy chair, enjoying this moment of tranquility with the swaying of the easy chair, but the thoughts in his mind involuntarily brought him to the seventeenth princess.
It seems that this little girl is really not simple, could it be that the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Gao Panlong really wanted her to play a special role when they put her by their side? This little woman really doesn't seem to be a vase, she gave herself such a hand as soon as she came, and she actually wanted to meet the leaders and representatives of the nomads, but this is in the northwest, she can't help but regard her identity as a princess too much, thinking of this, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of Qin Du's mouth.
Liang Qiming and Su Qin's joint arrival was expected by Qin Dui, and the love for one night did not affect his energy at all, and it was time to get back to business, although he was in the imperial capital and could get reports from all aspects of the northwest regularly, but he could not compare with personally understanding the specific situation in all aspects, more than half a year, this half a year did choke Qin Dui enough, although accompanied by endless wind and snow, but Qin Dui preferred to come to a little adjustment from time to time in the intense and exciting work, which is in line with the principle of relaxation.
After listening to Liang Qiming's report on the work of the government, Su Qin made some additions on foreign affairs, although Su Qin's position has not yet been clarified, he has become the de facto number two person in the northwest government system, and is not limited to foreign affairs.
Liang Qiming's report made Qin Duan very satisfied, especially the large transfer of finance, Qin Duan was even more at ease, knowing that the war was imminent and imminent, and his side was destined to be involved, and fighting a war was a war of attrition in terms of logistics and a war of attrition from a large distance, and it was impossible to support a war without sufficient material preparations, and this qiē naturally had to talk about money.
Tokugawa's financial situation was particularly encouraging. After several years of rapid development, at the beginning of this year, the original development loans also expired one after another, and the common people began to repay the small loans one after another, and the original three-year preferential tax policy has also expired, so the fiscal revenue has increased exponentially, so that the Tokugawa fiscal can only maintain last year suddenly becomes a large surplus. The amount of money handed over to the county-level treasury has also skyrocketed several times.
The financial situation of the Northwest Prefecture was originally good, and it has been the pillar of the entire Northwest Finance in the past few years, and the growth rate has been very rapid since the beginning of this year, although it is not as fast as the growth rate of the Tokugawa, but because its base is much higher than that of the Tokugawa, it is not trivial, and it still ranks first in the whole prefecture in terms of the amount of money handed over to the county-level finance.
The situation in Meishan and Longdong counties is largely the same, both are still in the period of rapid recovery, but their development rate is quite impressive. In particular, the ceramics and glass industries in Meishan County, Salt & Wine and Longdong County are all showing a thriving trend, attracting the number of foreign businessmen to invest in a continuous surge, and the financial situation has also increased greatly, and now they are basically able to maintain their normal operations, and the government's investment in infrastructure has gradually increased.
The transportation conditions of the four counties have also been greatly improved, the main roads connecting the four counties have been fully completed, so that the transportation conditions have been greatly improved, and some sections of the Taiping River flowing from the northwest counties to the Central Plains through Longdong have also been improved. Several inland wharves have been built, so that some ships of less than large tonnage have been able to go up to the northwestern counties. It has greatly promoted the export of goods from Northwest County, especially the number of goods such as timber, furniture and medicinal materials, which has increased significantly, which is also a major reason for the rapid economic growth of Northwest County.
Due to the strong deterrent power of the First Division of the Second Army Corps and the First Infantry Division of Beiloulan, the stubborn remnants who were originally a little worried could not stir up any storms at all, and the Bashan Gu family and the Snow Mountain faction entered the development at the right time. It also relieved a lot of pressure on the local interior department.
Liang Qiming, on behalf of the Northwest Military and Political Jiedu Embassy and the Beiloulan Governor's Office, personally attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the completion of the road, and by the way, he spent more than a month inspecting the two prefectures of Beiloulan, and had extensive contacts with representatives of various ethnic groups in the entire Beiloulan area, and made all-round discussions on various issues such as economic development and urban construction. The results are very good.
The construction of the road from Shuangdui City to Vito City was also officially launched at the beginning of the year, and the two sides are expected to converge in the town of Crater (under the jurisdiction of Vito Province), where the 1st Independent Infantry Division of Beiloulan is stationed in the central part of the country, and the work is progressing smoothly and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. The construction of the Bauhinia Pass Fortress is nearing completion, and the main works are expected to be completed in October, and the rest of the auxiliary works will be completed by the end of the year, when two wings of soldiers from the Shuangdui Provincial Garrison Division will be stationed there.
Due to the migration of a large number of Gaoyue people from the Dahengduan Mountains, bringing sufficient labor for road and urban construction, preliminary statistics show that more than 100,000 people have moved from the Hengduan Mountains to settle in the plains. Because Qin Du strictly demanded that the two prefectures of Beiloulan implement their own principle of ethnic equality and not discriminate against the Gaoyue people, the relocation did not bring too many problems, but provided abundant and cheap labor.
Not only the infrastructure construction, but also the area south of North Loulan near the Grand Duchy of Loulan has doubled the number of coffee plantations, and the reason for this is that in addition to the feeling that the situation is gradually calming down and the newly established self-made government policies are more favorable, the large influx of immigrants is also an important reason.
It is not only the Gaoyue people who have moved into the Beiloulan area, among which there are more than 50,000 people of all ethnic groups in Yindean who have moved to Beiloulan from the Indean Kingdom, which is not only related to the relatively relaxed environment of Beiloulan, but also mainly due to the severe floods in the Indean Kingdom last year, which caused the grain harvest in many areas, and the people were miserable, and they all started to move out, while the neighboring Beiloulan has good conditions and loose policies, and the autonomous government has not strictly controlled the conditions for immigration. So they surged eastward.
The self-government welcomed the Indrians, for they were the best farmers and workers, and that the long-formed national character meant that they were not good soldiers or good officials, but were best suited for the work of agriculture and handicrafts in which their ancestors had been engaged for generations. Their arrival can greatly promote the economic development of the two regions, which were already relatively backward, especially agriculture.
The iron ore mine in Shuangdui Province near the country of Wusun has entered the final stage of construction before development, and a large number of immigrants have entered here, hoping to find a place to live with their skills. (To be continued......)
