Great Wei, from a small half-dead force, instantly became the third largest force.

Its power is second only to the Republic and the Ming Dynasty, and it is stronger than the Great Shun and the Great Wu, not to mention the Manchu Qing who have been crippled by the Ming Dynasty.

However, I know from my own family's affairs, Da Wei said that it was an independent force, but in fact it had completely become a subsidiary force of the republic, the only thing was that there was no correct name, and the others basically began to integrate with the republic, and the integration between them was slowly proceeding.

As the reforms of the Great Wei continued to progress, after the establishment of the National Assembly, the prime minister gained more authority, and he no longer had to worry about Luo Rucai's will. Even if he wanted to worry about it, considering that the overseer party was eyeing his position, he had to put aside this kindness of knowledge for the first time. After all, the grace of knowing the encounter can't get back the authority, and he doesn't believe that Luo Rucai can still regain the power that belongs to him, so there is no need to put his career into it because of the so-called grace of the encounter.

The thinness and coldness of human nature can be regarded as vividly exerted at this moment.

Luo Rucai has been studying a lot during this time, but he has learned a lot, and the decree that he couldn't understand before seems to understand now. He found that the administrative model adopted by the republic was indeed time-saving and labor-saving, and most importantly, it could ensure the greatest degree of royal power for generations to come. For this reason, it is only necessary to give up a part of the political power and a very small amount of military power, and this is still a good deal.

However, he didn't implement it before, and now that others have implemented it for him, it turns out that it is not the same at all.

The local government departments, the key departments, are staffed by the republic. The rest, which is not very important, is served by the local scholars of the Great Wei. In addition, because there is a ruling party and a supervisory party, and a large number of party members in the supervisory party are sent by the republic, the ruling party must be conscientious in the process of being in power, for fear that it will be knocked down from the altar and the party will be forced to dissolve.

The reorganization of the armed forces has also begun to enter the second stage, and night classes for accelerated officers have been urgently opened, and literacy activities for non-commissioned officers of various units are also in full swing. Tong Guò's brainwashing of the subconscious mind again and again made the soldiers have an anti-civil war mentality, so that even if a certain officer instigated it, or even Luo Rucai secretly instigated the army to rebel, these soldiers would not agree.

After doing this, this joint military operation against the Republic ended dramatically.

However, this so-called joint operation gave people a feeling of coming to the door to find abuse, which made the soldiers of these forces a little disappointed. They seem to have seen the complete rise of the republic, and these forces can only be regarded as an advanced victim of the prosperity and strength of the republic.

Seeing this, as long as you are not a fool, you know how to choose: whether to become a leader in these forces, or to go to the republic.

With the end of the war, the original fuses, the patent law and the trademark law, were also recognized by all the powers, and the patent office and the trademark office were opened. As soon as it was opened, businessmen with important technologies went to these places to apply for registration with patents, and at the same time contacted the National Assembly, hoping that the state would ban the infringement of copycat piracy.

Looking at these businesses, so consciously defending their legitimate rights and interests, Zhang Hongbin was happy at the same time, but he also couldn't cry or laugh.

After all, the high-tech gadgets sold by their own chamber of commerce, in their time and space, are actually copycat products, but others can't protect their rights. But as long as you think about cracking down on copycats and piracy, and becoming the largest copycat merchant in this time and space, this feeling is really a bit subtle.

The battle has been completed, and the next step is to digest the results of the battle. Specifically, it is the digestion of the spoils of the Great Western Kingdom.

It is true that this place was already owned by the Great Wei State, but before it was officially taken over by the Great Wei State, the Republic also earned a lot of war dividends here:

The first is the family property of the generals and officials of the Great Western Kingdom who are unwilling to surrender and even plan to rebel. Treat these two-faced guys who can even sell their loyalty for the sake of profit, since they said in advance that they would surrender, but now they don't surrender, is it really easy to bully the republic?

The second is the officials and military of the Great Western Kingdom who are willing to obey the republic and accept the transformation and reorganization. After the former is trained, he will be placed in places where manpower is needed in various places, and at the same time, some of the manpower can be withdrawn and sent to work in the Great Wei State. Otherwise, the imperial examination has not yet been held, and now that the republic has so many manpower, send it to the Great Wei State to help them build a modern and civilized regime?

The armed forces have been reorganized to fill some vacancies in the armed police, police and military personnel. At this moment, the Republic has carried out a new round of conscription, and the key is to be able to recruit fewer soldiers in the mainland, so that the people can maximize their productivity and improve the comprehensive strength of the entire Chinese People's Republic.

Finally, there are immigrants from the Great Western Kingdom and the Great Wei Kingdom. Without the border blockade, the two places have admired the republic for a long time, and the people who have been looking forward to emigrating can finally emigrate. This part of the population will soon be able to fill the demand for labor in various places, and some of them can even be used as a source of soldiers.

After processing the digestion of these trophies, Zhang Hongbin also had to take a group of Wenchen to study the issue of the distribution of banknotes. This thing must be cautious, after all, the paper money thing, the Ming Dynasty also issued it, called treasure money. However, since the Ming Dynasty, treasure money has been distributed without restraint, so that depreciation is the same as waste paper, and even later it was regarded as a means for the imperial court to exploit the people.

Therefore, in the land of the Ming Dynasty, the people and even many families are afraid of paper money like tigers.

How to establish credibility and how to improve the people's recognition of paper money are also important issues that need to be discussed by Congress. If this problem is not solved, the issuance of banknotes will have to be delayed.

While Zhang Hongbin was busy and dizzy, Zhang Cai, who was far away in Australia, was also facing the first battle in his life.

Since the completion of the construction of Hope Village, the people have cultivated farmland, excavated iron ore, and built Hope Village into a paradise step by step.

It is rich in fishery resources and is also surrounded by abundant natural resources. Not to mention the manpower, Zhang Ben and his son, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Cai's grandparents, Zhu Yiluo, the former Qin king, Zhang Hongwu and Zhang Hongwen, the two uncles, Li Dingguo, who is not an uncle, and even Zhu Cunyuan, a loving mother, all secretly transported batches of materials, and even manpower to support Zhang Cai's construction.

Today, the more than a dozen newly built barns are filled with all kinds of food, from basic rice and noodles to dry food that can be stored for a long time, such as compressed biscuits and canned food; All kinds of steel tools are piled up in official warehouses; More than 500 pieces of clothing from spring to winter are piled up in Zhang Cai's side room; Five hundred cattle, five hundred buffaloes, three hundred horses, six hundred horses, a thousand pigs, and eight hundred sheep grazing in the pastures that had just been opened. Of course, in the later period, Zhang Hongbin secretly asked Zhang Liu to go to Australia and transported more than 3,000 shells...... Additional batches will continue to be added if necessary.

Zhang Cai's initial construction funds are very abundant, not to mention, the reserve of talents is also very rich.

There were not only carpenters and blacksmiths with good skills, but also tailors and cooks, and even architects and teachers. What makes people speechless is that Zhang Cai still has three little maids and five little ones by his side. As for the labor force, not to mention, among the immigrants from the Great Western Kingdom and the Great Wei Kingdom this time, 600 households with clean composition, simple and honest people were selected and transported over.

With enough manpower and sufficient funds, Zhang Cai directly upgraded Hope Village to Hope Town, and opened up a second village, Sihua Village.

Today, Hope Town and Sihua Village are a large construction site with four workshops: a cement workshop, a fishery processing workshop, a steelmaking workshop and a woodworking workshop. Even, the glazed workshop is also under construction. At the same time, because the city is adjacent to the coastline, a deep-water port dock has also been built, and it has been possible to initially build offshore fishing boats, and a large number of marine fish are caught every day, or sold on the spot, or processed into fish workshops, and made into dried fish and meat floss.

As for Sihua Village, it focuses on animal husbandry and farming, with emphasis on the development of large-scale animal husbandry, cash crop cultivation and large-scale farming.

Cash crops are mainly made up of fibers (flax, cotton, etc.), seasonings (peppers, fennel, etc.), and fruits (to name a few).

In fact, many things are still in the initial stage, and they will not get any benefits for the time being. At present, the two places are still in a stage where there is only investment but no gain, but Zhang is very sure that he will quickly recover the cost and then start to make a profit gradually.

But before that, there was one thing that bothered him.

Just yesterday, a few of the grazing people did not return, not even the sheep. The militia units quickly sent men to trace the line where they had grazed, and found traces of a brief battle. This suggests that there is a high probability that these people encountered some ferocious animal, or that they were indigenous to the area.

Obviously, the probability of the former is very low, otherwise the remains would have been found on the spot. Since they were not found, it is very likely that they were captured by the natives.

Zhang Cai didn't expect that he would run into the local natives in such a quick time, but since he did, he had to solve this problem.

Either be friendly with them, or destroy them!

In fact, this is very nonsense, Zhang Cai actually expected the ending of the matter before he came, or the only ending. Whether it is a republic or any other force, they have no ability to communicate with the local natives. Without communication, there can be no understanding. And for them, they are just pure aggressors. For the invaders, or from Zhang Cai's point of view, in order to defend the lives of himself and his people, he had no choice.

He is not a murderer, but for the sake of the Chinese nation, he does not mind getting his hands bloody......
