Epilogue
In September of the eighth year of Yongxing, Lin Jian resigned from the edict of Emperor Yongxing, supported King Min to succeed to the throne, and changed the year name to succeed Zhen; Liang died of illness at the end of November, and he was filial piety to the Empress Dowager Mu.
A month later, that is, on the first day of the first month of the second year of Jizhen, Emperor Jizhen issued an edict to abdicate the throne, and Lin Jian officially ascended the throne as the emperor, and the country name was "Chong", and the year name was changed to "Qiyuan".
Gu Junxun is the queen, Su Mei, Liu Miaozhen, Sun Wenwan, Liu Yueer, Xiaoman and Yuan Yan are the six concubines, and the Zuo sisters and Irie Ayakori are the concubines. Song Jia, Gu Yingsleeve, and Shan Rou, together with the daughters of other important ministers and generals, were canonized as the wife of the country or the county monarch, in order to hide people's eyes......
At the same time, Lin Jian issued an edict to the widow of Emperor Yongxing, Jizhen Emperor and King Cheng as the Duke of Yongji and the Duke of Yongchang, the King of Hailing, Yuan Jianhai, was renamed the Duke of Chengguo, and the Marquis of Yongchang, Yuan Jinqiu, changed the title of Xin Changbo, so that the four of them and other children of the Yuan clan moved to Wuyuan, western Zhejiang.
At the same time, he rehabilitated the rebellion case of Qiuye Supervisor, corrected the name of Jingbei Marquis Suhu, and issued the edict of the national soul, established the national soul monument, and posthumously paid tribute to Li Zhuo, Gu Wuchen, Chen Xiyan, Zeng Mingxin and other generals who sacrificed for the country since Qingyu.
Completely abolish the political hall and the six central departments, with the Privy Council and the 16 departments under its jurisdiction in charge of the central power, change the Metropolitan Procuratorate into the Supervision Yuan, separate the trial and criminal department under the jurisdiction of the original Criminal Department, and Tig as the Trial and Criminal Yuan, alongside the Privy Council and the Supervision Yuan, and the other divisions and departments of the original Criminal Department were merged into the Privy Council Security Department, and the public government meeting was changed to the Privy Council meeting, which was placed above the Privy Council, the Supervision Yuan, the Trial and Criminal Yuan, and the Military Department.
In February of the same year, Ye Ji Luorong was in Guanzhong, that is, the Great Yan Emperor.
Cao Yiqu did not choose to support the children of the Yuan clan as emperor and confront Jiangning, but could not wait to ascend the throne in Yuzhou, establish the Liang Dynasty, and proclaim himself Emperor Liang, as if to enjoy the last wonderful time.
In May, the headquarters of the Western Expeditionary Army, together with 200,000 soldiers and horses from Ning Zechen, Ao Canghai, Tao Chun, and other troops, attacked Guanzhong from Nanyang, Luoyang, and Hejin.
Although the Northern Yan craftsmen who fled west with Ye Jiduodi at that time also imitated the Huaidong Fuhuo crossbow to cast bronze cannons, with the financial and manpower of Guanzhong, more than 30 copper cannons were cast before May to meet the occasion.
At the same time, in addition to 800 light and heavy artillery pieces, the Western Expeditionary Army also had more than 6,000 flintlock muskets equipped with front-line battalions.
After several battles in Pucheng, Tongguan and Wuguan, the Western Expeditionary Army annihilated more than 40,000 enemies in two months and forcibly broke the gate to advance into Guanzhong. Although Chen Zhihu and Ye Ji Luorong still had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, they had lost the general trend and did not dare to fight with the Western Expeditionary Army in the Weihe Plain, so they could only abandon Guanzhong and flee west through Qingyang and Guyuan into the ancient county of Hexi, that is, the Western Regions.
Yuan Guizheng, Yuan Jinsheng, Gao Yi and others were killed when Ao Canghai led his troops to attack Wuguan, Dong Yuan was still missing, and there was no news that he had taken refuge in Chen Zhihu or Cao Yiqu.
By mid-August, the Western Expeditionary Army recovered the entire territory of Guanzhong, and Yang Yihang served as the Xuanfu envoy of Guanzhong; At the same time, Lin Jian established the Northwest Garrison Defense Region, and incorporated the Changhuai Army and the Taihang Mountain Independent Town Division into the Northwest Defense Region, so that Ao Canghai and Deng Yu were appointed as the chief and deputy commanders respectively, responsible for continuing to pursue and suppress the remnants of the enemy fleeing westward.
In the spring of the second year of Qiyuan, Lin Tie made Ning Zechen lead 100,000 horse infantry troops and baggage troops in Weiyuan, and Zhou Tong and Su Pinxiao led 80,000 water infantry troops and baggage soldiers in Jingzhou, and the troops invaded Sichuan and Shu in two ways. At that time, Cao Yiqu moved the capital to Chengdu, and Yuzhou was guarded by Wei Shiyan, the general of Shu Liang.
Wei Shiyan led his troops to surrender, led his troops to the north with Zhou Tong, and besieged Chengdu with Ning Zechen's troops in April. Cao Yiqu called the emperor only a year, the emperor's dream was shattered, he ordered all the soldiers in Chengdu to execute more than 100 of his concubines and then committed suicide, Shu Liang perished - after the Lin Tie War, Sichuan Shu County was set up, so that Zhou Tong served as the Xuanfu envoy, and the war in the Central Plains was completely extinguished......
After Chen Zhihu and Ye Ji Luorong led their troops to escape from Guanzhong, they parted ways. Chen Zhihu proclaimed himself Emperor of Qin, controlled the ancient county of Hexi west of Heyuan, and established the Western Qin State. Ye Ji Luorong was killed in the Xihu rebellion in the third year of the Qiyuan Dynasty, and Ye Ji Duodi succeeded to the throne of Khan, and led the remnants to flee to the northwest of Xinjiang, and fled to the old county of Beiting (now the northern region of Xinjiang) to gain a foothold.
In the seventh year of Qiyuan, Chen Zhihu went west to conquer the country of Eile, and after the slaughter of the city, he summoned the princess to sleep, and was killed in her sleep by the princess of Eile with a silver hairpin piercing her left eye.
Chen Zhihu died, the Western Qin State was in turmoil, and the Hu in Northwest Xinjiang, who had violently suppressed Chen Zhihu before, rebelled; Lin Jian ordered Ao Canghai to lead 100,000 horse infantry troops to the west, and captured Shanshan (now Hami), the capital of Western Qin, in June of the ninth year of Qiyuan, and set up Hexi County and the Western Qin Governor's Mansion.
Ye Ji Duodi led the remnants of Yanhu to the north court, struggling in the bitter cold land of the northwest for several years, and there was no way to tame the northern Xinjiang Zhuhu. In the eighth and ninth years of Qiyuan, although there were victories and defeats in several battles with the Western Expeditionary Army led by Ao Canghai, the vitality accumulated over the years was also exhausted. Ye Ji Duodi was not allowed to abandon the Beiting at the beginning of the tenth year of the Qiyuan Dynasty and flee west again, and took refuge in the area west of the Ili River to make a living.
The national border extends to Yili, west of Hami, and the entire logistics supply line relying on land has stretched for four or five thousand miles. The central and local governments also had no intention of expanding the border to the west, so Lin Jian also stopped the pace of further expansion to the northwest frontier, adjusted the strategy of the northwest frontier, and changed the armed conquest to the naturalization of immigrants.
From the first year of Qiyuan to the tenth year of Qiyuan, the naturalization work in Northeast China has been carried out in an orderly manner.
In addition to setting up Liaoyang County under the direct jurisdiction of the central government, in the area north of Liaoyang, Lin Jian successively transferred a total of 200,000 young people from Jianghuai, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places, and set up three agricultural reclamation corps to enter the area north of Liaoyang for planting.
Because Yanhu fled west from Yanjing, Liaoyang and other places, he was very hasty, and nearly 300,000 young women were abandoned, of which nearly 200,000 women moved north with the peasant reclamation corps, combined with the peasant reclamation soldiers to form a new family, and settled down.
Since the second year of Qiyuan, marked by the construction of the Liaonan Iron Yard, the coal and iron resources in the eastern foothills of Qianshan in the south of Liaoyang and between Liaokou have been developed on a large scale. By the tenth year of Qiyuan, the iron output of the Liaoning South Iron Yard reached 100,000 tons (200 million catties), and the steel production reached 5,000 tons (10 million catties), and the mining and smelting industry around the periphery of the Liaoning Iron Yard developed rapidly.
The entire Liaodong Peninsula is flanked by the sea on both sides, and through the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea to the Jianghuai region, the threat of storms is far less than that of the sea south of Yizhou. Even in the summer, some daring maritime merchants need to stop sailing to avoid the wind, which makes the forests and other mineral resources of the Liaodong Peninsula continue to flow into the Jianghuai River. The Tieshan ports of Liaokou and Jinzhou soon became the seaports after Chongzhou, Mingzhou, Jinhai, Haizhou, Dengzhou, Jin'an, and Zhuxi.
In Liaodong alone, there were 16.7 million Han people in Liaodong before and the Han people who were forcibly relocated to Yanhu later—these many items made Liaoyang's status in the new empire even more than that of Henan, Yanji, and other Central Plains counties that had been severely damaged by the war and had not yet fully recovered.
The faster and more thoroughly Liaoyang is developed, the less room for the remnants of Yanhu to survive in Liaoyang.
Although the expansion to the northwest came to an end in the tenth year of the Qiyuan Dynasty, the expansion of the South Seas involved huge commercial interests, and the pace has never stopped.
In the first year of Yongxing, a pound of cotton yarn in Jianghuai was worth about 400 yuan, which was already a cut lower than the traditional native yarn; By the first year of Qiyuan, the price of Jianghuai cotton yarn fell by about half, and by the tenth year of Qiyuan, Jianghuai cotton yarn fell by half again, and a pound of yarn was only 100 yuan - the great progress in technology made the Huaidong industrial products represented by cotton yarn and cotton cloth enough to sweep the traditional homespun cloth and homespun yarn markets in China, Haidong and Nanyang countries, and seek huge profits from them.
Jiangning is also very aware that only the continuous expansion of domestic and foreign markets, so that industrial products have always been in a state of short supply, can we always strongly stimulate the continuous expansion of the scale of industrial zones dominated by the Jianghuai region and stimulate the continuous growth of new technologies.
Under the strong impact of these industrial products, the space for the traditional handicraft production of the Nanyang countries has become increasingly narrow, and it is reasonable to rebound, and whenever there is resistance, Jiangning is accustomed to using warships and cannons to open the way.
In the fourteenth year of Qiyuan, Lin Jian made Yang Shiqin, who was then the commander of the Southeast Naval Division, lead half of the troops of the Southeast Naval Division to fight with the battleship Nanzheng. In the waters of the Southwest Ocean (Indian Ocean), the Southeast Naval Division, which had been fully equipped with flowering bombs, completely annihilated the naval forces of the Qiduo Dynasty at the cost of two frigates running aground and sinking.
In the end, on the condition of securing the Buddhist Mongola Island, which was twice the size of Yizhou, and establishing a port and opening a port, he accepted the peace of the Qiduo Dynasty. At that time, Buddha Sangluo Island was already the eleventh prefecture and military base set up by Jiangning overseas.
By the twentieth year of the Qi Dynasty, the number of overseas governors and naval military bases extended to the east coast of the Taixi Empire (Arabia) and Subia, Axum and other countries, reaching as many as 16. Due to the westward expansion of the remnants of Yanhu, artillery, muskets and many new shipbuilding technologies began to spread in Taixi, Subia, Axum and other countries, but they still could not erase the gap with the new emperor.
The population and explosion that Liu Shidu was worried about were the first to erupt in the Jianghuai region.
After the end of the Shu campaign in the second year of the Qiyuan Dynasty, the new empire, including Liaoyang County, conducted a thorough census, and the total population of the whole country was 86 million, and the population of the area south of the Huai River (except Sichuan and Shu) was as high as 58 million.
By the 20th year of the Qiyuan Dynasty, in just 18 years, the population of the area south of the Huai River had increased by more than 60 percent, reaching 93 million.
Although the potential of the land in the south to produce grain can withstand the consumption of hundreds of millions or even more people, these lands can barely be cultivated with 40 million or 50 million people; The industrial, mining and transportation industries in the Jianghuai region have been rapidly occurring, but by the 20th year of the Qiyuan Dynasty, the domestic industrial and mining and transportation industries had only a little more than 10 million laborers - purely from the perspective of labor, although the land could carry it, it still produced a large number of surplus population throughout the country.
Northwest Xinjiang is a bitter cold land, and there are not many people who are willing to immigrate to the real border of Northwest Xinjiang, so it is feasible to come up with a large amount of subsidies from the central government, and a large number of surplus people will move to the Nanyang region with the sixteen overseas governors as the core.
Including the Yongxing period, by the 20th and last 30 years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the 16 prefectures of Jeju, Luga, Pudan, and Buddha Sangluo accommodated more immigrants than the local natives, as high as 4 million, and the number of overseas immigrants who moved to the surrounding countries with the 16 prefectures was almost the same.
Compared with the active immigration to the Nanyang region, as of the 20th year of the Qiyuan Dynasty, there were only 1.2 million people who had migrated to the Shibian region in the northwest and northeast regions, and the center still paid the price of tens of millions of silver dollars.
The Buddhist monks and monks only established overseas governors in the 14th year of the Qiyuan Dynasty, and by the 20th year of the Qiyuan Dynasty, the Jianghuai people who immigrated to the Buddhist monks were as high as 200,000. Colonists Yinzhuang, Nanyang Shipping Cooperative, and the Governor's Office sold fertile land to Jianghuai immigrants at very cheap prices, and in six years, they annexed or reclaimed nearly 10 million mu of cotton plantations on Buddha Seng Luo Island, making them one of the most important raw material producers for the Jianghuai cotton spinning industry.
By the 20th year of Qiyuan, there were as many as 5,000 merchant ships of more than 500 tons registered under the names of Heishui Ocean and Nanyang Shipping Companies.
In addition to the Jinghai Division and the Southeast Water Division, the escort fleet of the Heishui Ocean and Nanyang Shipyard equipped with third-class capital warships and the escort of the Zhudu Governor's Mansion also became the most important military force of the new empire overseas.
Compared with the special forces of Heishuiyang and Nanyang Shipyard, which combine military, government, finance and business, the colonist Yinzhuang is slightly simpler.
In the early days, the capital of 20 million silver dollars that had been replaced by the 6 million mu of reward land in the early days of the Merchant Yinzhuang had surged 20 times to 400 million silver dollars in the 20th year of the Qi Yuan Dynasty, and this did not include the nearly 200 million silver dollars of interest distributed to shareholders in the past 20 years.
The strength and scale of Huaidong Qianzhuang are larger than that of Colonists Yinzhuang, with assets of 600 million silver dollars; In addition, Jeju Eunzhuang and several other Eunzhuang are slightly smaller in scale and only developed in the later period, and the capital capital also ranges from 10 million silver dollars to nearly 100 million silver dollars, and the capital strength should not be underestimated.
In the early days, overseas trade was mainly with local people and powers, and the traditional overseas trade goods were no longer able to meet the growing needs of the new empire, and by the twentieth year of the Qi Dynasty, overseas immigrants gradually became the main body of trade.
Haidong and Nanyang, including 11 overseas governorates, as well as Johor, Borneo, Goryeo, Fuso and other countries, are full of mines and plantations invested and developed by Han Chinese.
By the 20th year of the Qiyuan Dynasty, the annual import of Borneo oil into China had risen to 600,000 tons, and the import of Borneo oil to other regions was as high as 300,000 tons per year, with a total annual trade volume of 30 million silver dollars. In addition to the specific operators, managers and core technicians of the Borneo oil trading company, which controls more than ninety percent of the oil wells in Borneo, are Han Chinese, except for the royal family, the colonists and the Huaidong Qianzhuang, and the Nanyang Shipping Company, the rest are mainly held by immigrant groups in the Lugatu Governorate.
In addition to Borneo oil, cotton imported from overseas into the Jianghuai, Zhejiang, and Fujian regions as raw materials for the textile industry increased to as many as 800 ships per year by the 20th year of the Qiyuan Dynasty—almost seventy percent of the suppliers of these cotton raw materials were supplied by plantations controlled by overseas immigrants, and the prisoners of war exiled overseas in the early days, as well as the local indigenous people and the Jianghuai people who emigrated overseas in the later period, were the main labor force of these plantations.
In addition to oil and cotton, which are the main imported goods, there are almost 3,000 seagoing ships every year, loaded with saltpeter, Borneo ash, sulfur, gold, silver, copper and precious metals, abaca, cane sugar, precious timber, medicinal materials and other bulk goods, and call at ports in Chongzhou, Jiangning, Mingzhou, Haizhou, Jinhai, Tieshan, Liaokou and other places......
The import of these huge bulk goods was smoothed out by domestic trade in new cloth, garments, dyes, salt, porcelain, steel, ships, weapons, traditional tea, silk and other bulk goods.
The manufacture of machinery, steam engines, and the latest warships, as well as artillery and muskets, were on the list of forbidden seas, and were strictly regulated—but a large number of skilled workers and scholars emigrated to Nanyang, and the strength of new learning, new industries, and industries within the jurisdiction of the overseas governors also began to increase strongly from the tenth year after the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.
In addition to the huge profits of many of the forces involved, the bulk of overseas trade also brought abundant customs revenue to the central revenue, and the customs revenue alone was as high as 26 million silver dollars in the 20 years of Qiyuan.
Counting the taxation of the overseas asset appreciation of trading companies such as Colonists Yinzhuang, Huaidong Qianzhuang, Nanyang Shipping Company, and Heishui Foreign Shipping Company, the overseas income of the Qiyuan Hub in the 20th year contributed more than 50 million silver dollars, accounting for a quarter of the entire Central Revenue in the 20th year of the Qiyuan Dynasty.
In the 20th year of Qiyuan, the annual revenue reached 200 million silver dollars, which was ten times that of the last year of Yongxing; In addition to the prosperity of overseas trade, it also depends on the unusual prosperity of the domestic unified market.
Since the end of the war in the Central Plains in the second year of Qiyuan, Lin Jian launched a six-year large-scale construction plan in China to replace the war with construction, stimulate the demand for new industries, and promote the development of new technologies in industry, mining and transportation.
In the seventh year of Yongxing, Lin Jingzhong presided over the construction of the Jinchuan Iron Bridge, which cost more than 460,000 silver dollars; With the development of technology and the decline in the cost of raw materials such as steel and stone slurry, Ning Zechen, who served as the governor of Hexi 15 years later, presided over the construction of the Yellow River Source Iron Bridge in Lintao, Hexi County in the 20th year of Qiyuan Dynasty, plus the high transportation costs of steel beams, stone slurry and other materials, the entire cost was only 600,000 silver dollars.
In the seventh year of Yongxing, Lin Jingzhong built the Jinchuan Iron Bridge, which needed the support of Lin Tie's gritted teeth; By the 20th year of Qiyuan, the approval power of the local construction of iron bridges has been delegated to the government level, and nearly half of the prefectures and counties began to build iron bridges on the main rivers in their jurisdictions in the 20th year of Qiyuan, and the number of iron bridges started at the same time reached more than 960.
This also means that by the 20th year of Qiyuan, the demand for steel for the construction of iron bridges in China alone will reach more than 340,000 tons. In addition to the construction of iron bridges, the construction of domestic roads, canals and culverts, dams, the promotion of new construction methods for reinforced concrete, and the extensive use of new machinery have all stimulated the increase in domestic steel demand.
By the 20th year of Qiyuan, the total domestic iron and steel output exceeded 4 million tons, which was 40 times that of the national iron and steel output (including Beiyan, Sichuan and Shu) in the last year of Yongxing; In addition, the domestic coal production is as high as 20 million tons.
Although the early steam engines were inefficient and consumed a lot of coal, the demand for steam engines was also extremely high in the rapid development of the coal mining industry.
The boring machine was used in the manufacture of guns and other weapons in the early days, and the technology of the boring machine was specially approved by Lin Tie after the second year of Qiyuan, which was used to manufacture the cylinder and piston of the steam engine, which better solved the problem of air tightness of the early castings of the steam engine.
In the fourteenth year of Qiyuan, Chen Xiu, a teacher of Jiangning Higher Mechanical School, was included in the Chongxue Hall for inventing a new linkage steam engine. Led by Chen Xiu and others, hundreds of engineering technicians have been conducting continuous research on steam engines for nearly 20 years, so that steam engine technology has been continuously improved.
While better materials were used and the efficiency of the steam engine was greatly improved, the shape of the steam engine was far from being as large and clumsy as it had been at the beginning, and it was much more popular with coal yards.
The coal mining industry had a large amount of cheap coal and sufficient profits, and the pursuit of productivity was also extreme, and by the 20th year of Qiyuan, more than 300 new steam engines were used in major coal yards and other mining sites in China.
In the 20th year of Qiyuan, the Putang Iron Yard raised 2 million silver dollars to lay the first 40-mile-long railway track in China between the iron yard and the coal yard and the Putang River Port, and steam locomotives will be used to transport materials between the coal and iron ore and the iron yard and the wharf.
Although the steam locomotive that was successfully tested at this time had a maximum speed of only 16 kilometers per hour; After the first track was built, the speed would be controlled to less than 10 kilometers per hour, far less than the speed of a galloping horse.
However, after the rails were laid, the continuous operation of the steam locomotive and the high loading capacity brought about the high efficiency of the steam locomotive were far from being comparable to that of the horse-loaded wagon.
Putang Iron Yard has become the largest iron yard in China, with an annual output of 700,000 tons of iron and steel, and the total assets have reached 40 million silver dollars.
If the domestic steel demand wants to rise sharply, it must seek new stimulus points; This is also the reason why Putang Iron Yard is willing to invest heavily in the construction of the first railway track.
Once the steam locomotive technology matures, the Putang Iron Yard, which has mastered the rail casting technology, will naturally benefit a lot.
In the 20th year of Qiyuan, Jiangning's first 100-ton steamship was launched and sailed between Chongzhou and Jiangning for half a year, which shortened the sailing time from Chongzhou to Jiangning from the previous two to three days to 24 hours.
Behind the rapid development of domestic industrial, mining and transportation technology is the rapid development of new learning.
In addition to the Chongxue Museum, by the 20th year of Qiyuan, the new empire in Jiangning, Jiangxia, Chongzhou, Mingzhou, Yanping, Liaoyang, Weiyang, Jeju, Luoyang, Yuzhou, Chang'an and other places, for the purpose of developing, teaching, and researching new learning, new technology, a total of 67 colleges and universities in medicine, mechanics, astronomy and other specialties and comprehensive colleges and universities, nearly one-third of which are concentrated in Jiangning, can export hundreds of thousands of new talents every year.
In the past few years of the development of Xinxue, the number of grandmaster-level Xinxue scholars who have been awarded the bachelor's title of Chongxue Hall for their outstanding achievements in Xinxue has also increased from more than Chinese New Year's Eve early to 297 in the 20th year of Qiyuan.
In addition to the higher education halls, there are more than a dozen research laboratories of various types that Lin Jian has directly allocated funds in the name of the royal family, and in recent years, almost millions to tens of millions of silver dollars have been allocated to these research laboratories every year in the royal family's income.
For Lin Bin, he may value the title of Chongxueguan scholar more than being an emperor.
In the 30th year of the Qiyuan Dynasty, there were more than 200 steam ships sailing on the Yangtze River waterway from Jingzhou to Yudong, and more than a dozen steam and sail mixed sea ships were also built, which were first used for offshore transportation.
By this time, the speed of the steam locomotive had stabilized to between twenty and twenty-five kilometers per hour, and the test speed of the high-speed locomotive had reached forty kilometers per hour – even passenger transport began to have a clear advantage over horse-drawn carriages.
Starting from the first line in Putang, the freight rails between the mine and the river port wharf have been built in China for ten years, and there have been more than 800 miles.
In the 31st year of Qiyuan, the Privy Council allocated 40 million silver dollars to start the construction of the first mixed railway track with a total length of more than 800 miles, starting from Mingzhou Port, crossing the Qianjiang River through Xiaoshan, and arriving at Jiangning through Hangzhou and Huzhou.
The widespread use of flowering shells has made wooden warships more and more fragile, and an ironclad warship of the same size as the Lin Zheng monarch warship will reach more than 4,000 tons. A taller and denser mast system, while barely able to increase speed, also carries a greater risk of capsizing.
In the third year of the successful operation of the Mingjiang Railway, that is, in the 36th year of Qiyuan, the first 5,000-ton ironclad steam warship was allocated 3 million silver dollars by the military department and handed over the order to the Chongzhou Shipyard.
In the 40th year of Qiyuan, the domestic population increased by 200 million, the total number of overseas immigrants exceeded 30 million, and the central income also increased to 1 billion silver dollars.
At the same time, Lin Jian signed and agreed to build the Huaxia Railway from Haizhou in the east, through Xuzhou, Daliang, Luoyang, Chang'an, Lintao to Shanshan.
This plan will cost hundreds of millions of silver dollars and take ten to twenty years, but it will also completely connect the hinterland of the Central Plains with the northwest region, and help effectively control the territory of the empire to the Ili River valley.
At that time, the domestic railway line had stretched for 4,000 miles.
After signing and approving the construction plan of the Huaxia Railway, Lin Jian issued an abdication edict, and after serving as emperor for 40 years, he announced his retirement, and was succeeded by his eldest son Lin Xin, who was 52 years old at the time......
After Lin Xin succeeded to the throne, he did not change the name of the year, but continued the "Qiyuan" era. Although Lin Jian abdicated, until the forty-fourth year of Qiyuan, he was an assistant to the emperor as the emperor. In the forty-fourth year of Qiyuan, Liu Yue'er and Nahe Yurong died one after another within the same year, and Lin Jian also felt that his life was short, so he completely let go of national politics and lived in seclusion with his concubines to Lin Zhengjun, the eldest daughter of Jeju......
