After the end of the war, the dragon clan really did not have enough strength to go south. Tianhao needs time to stabilize the interior and make every effort to build the powerful war machine of the "Northern Barbarians". Under such circumstances, Yuan Meng and Ling Xiao became the first choice for the leaders of the harassment war.

The young regent got up from his chair, walked up to the two men, put his hands on their shoulders, and said firmly, "Go, and prove with bravery and blood that you are worthy of your ancestors." Here the king swears to the great gods that ———— future will be a testament to the merits of war, the brave will be rewarded with envy, and the names of the cowardly will be forgotten forever in shame and weeping. ”

……

Spring is coming.

During the war, the dragons launched a general mobilization, in addition to the main army sent to the front, they also requisitioned five million people in the rear and formed a hundred reserve corps. Regardless of any northern barbarian tribe, this is a huge scale of mobilization that has never been seen in history. In accordance with Tianhao's order, the scope of wartime mobilization was further expanded, and all middle-aged people from 40 years old to 13-year-old "adult men and women" were included in the reserve management.

This is a national war, a race war in the true sense of the word. If defeated, there is nothing. Next, the whole clan will accept the fate of being enslaved by the whites. What is the world peace, the equality of races, freedom of belief...... All the actions and justifications that seem to conform to the social standards of the time in the civilized era, and which are scrambled by countless people on different sides to prove their righteousness with so-called evidence, are a fragile joke in the face of absolute power.

The white man ruled the world, and the northern barbarians could only live in shackles and shackles. All will be slaves, including your children, and the descendants of the bloodline.

They will deal with giants like a dog. To the white man, this is a kind of domestication, with a strong amusement and conquest character. Sometimes Tianhao feels lucky that there are no books like "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in this era, and there are no so-called "human rights equality" thinkers. To be sure, Tianhao doesn't like violent centralization, but for now, it's the right way to rule and lead the northern barbarians to power.

The five million reservists who took turns to train almost drained the most energetic people of the entire dragon clan. Fortunately, since the beginning of the war, all the good news has come from the front line, which has eliminated the opportunity for the reserve army to join the war as a substitute, and Tianhao has been able to steadily implement the "Great Northern Development Plan" that was previously formulated, and neither the construction of roads nor new settlements has been greatly affected by the war.

Of course, the training of the reserve is indispensable for the actual operation of firearms. Fortunately, the scale of the Jeju Island Military Factory has been expanding, and a series of factories were set up in Panseong, Lianju, Sindu, and Raidjiaocheng in the later period, and the output of weapons has also doubled, and the total number of rifles allocated to the reserve corps for training has reached more than 300,000.

When the war is over, there will not be so many troops. Instead of ordering the withdrawal of the weapons distributed to various localities, Tianhao ordered the establishment of armed forces and militia command centers in various cities and villages, including newly built settlements, to be managed by special personnel, and to conduct military training for the people in the area under their jurisdiction when the situation permitted.

Anyone who is not so sick that he cannot even walk, must undergo military training of one hour at least twice a week. The main training content is to be familiar with and use firearms and grenades, even if you are not good at archery, you must know how to use them.

Tianhao did not deliberately issue relevant directives on the market economy. The three major clans have just merged, and all kinds of things can be said to be complicated. The dragon clan is its own basic plate, and no matter what, there can be no chaos. From Panshi Village to Black Corner City, as Tianhao's identity has been upgraded again and again, the dragon people have become accustomed to this strict semi-military management. But for the Tiger Clan and the Lion Clan, they still need time.

Bullets have become something that can be used for circulation among the dragon people, especially those living in remote northern areas, and even replace currency to some extent. Of course, this does not mean that the dragons refuse to use money, in fact they are very receptive to the new coins of the Regent, especially the finely crafted silver coins and auxiliary coins, which have successfully stabilized the market and are recognized by both the Tiger and the Lion.

Gold coins are rare, and because of their value and the elaborate patterns produced by stamping techniques, some commoners even treasure gold coins as family heirlooms.

After the Great Northern Development Plan was fully implemented, the dragons began to become different from the past.

The biggest change is the grain. Tons of grain, huge quantities of grain, unimaginably large quantities. This is also one of the reasons why Yuan Meng and Ling Xiao no longer have the stubborn idea of resisting to the end before, and completely change their thinking and turn to Tianhao's side. In Yuan Meng's words, "I have never seen so much grain in my life." Hunger makes people crazy, and it is difficult for people who have a full stomach to develop a disorderly mentality. In the past few years, Tianhao has led the people to cultivate nearly twice as much arable land as it was during the reign of the king of the Ox Clan, plus improved varieties of corn and potatoes from the southern part of the mainland...... It is no exaggeration to say that the current food production and reserves of the dragon clan are so large that they cannot be eaten.

Strictly speaking, there is not much difference between "sweet potato roast" and "Erguotou", both of which are spirits made from grain. Whether it's sweet potatoes, corn, or potatoes, it's pretty much the same. This spirit was previously a luxury and only the nobility was eligible to enjoy it. As the cultivated area and harvest increased, so did the supply of liquor in the dragon market.

Tianhao has experience from the era of civilization, and he knows that neither suppression nor over-openness is a good thing. Wine is an important topic that human civilization cannot get around in any way. Instead of prohibiting alcohol, he issued a "Alcohol Restriction Order" for the current situation of the dragons.

Minors are not allowed to drink spirits in excess of the prescribed percentage.

Alcohol is not allowed during wartime and special periods.

Encourage the consumption of low-alcohol alcohol.

That's all for the core clauses, and too strict regulations can reduce people's enthusiasm for alcohol and even cause a series of negative effects.

A healthy market is also gradually taking shape———— from Xindu to Roaring City, with a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers from north to south. People had different needs for different products between regions, whether it was fur or dried fruit, cloth or wine, which led to the emergence of various economic industries based on silver coins and auxiliary coins, which in turn became the main source of tax revenue for the dragons.

In the third week after the beginning of spring, the Leijiaocheng Iron and Steel Plant was officially put into operation.

There is a large open space in the north of the city, and the convenient transportation makes Thunder Point City a regional transit hub. The Shanyouzhai that had been trading ore with Tianhao for a long time had already become rich, and the population had increased dramatically due to the commercial exchanges between the two places, and Guangshou, the former leader of the village, had already been promoted to the lord of the city...... The only thing that hasn't changed is the abundant reserves of iron ore and peat in the area around Shanyou City.

Guangshou led the whole city to spend half a year to build the railway connecting Thunderhorn City and Rock City. Since then, wagons loaded with ore have been used by horses to travel between the two places, and have become the most important source of raw materials for the Iron and Steel Works in Leijiaocheng.

The first generation of original lathes has long been abandoned, and the third generation of lathes that are now active in steel mills and military factories in various parts of the country is now in use. The phrase "steel production determines the power of the state" is often on the lips of the dragon family's top brass. This was not the time when steel was used to make spears and broadswords, and steel meant more guns and artillery, an increased supply of civilian products, and a greater threat to white Southerners.

Last year, overseas searchers brought back the rubber that Tianhao had dreamed of, and although the quantity was small, it started the development of vulcanized rubber and related research projects by the Dragon Chemicals Department.

The Ministry of Chemistry is a newly established department, which belongs to the Ministry of Higher Technology and is under the unified management of the Ministry of National Defense. According to Tianhao's requirements, all the members here are technicians, and the management has only set up five places, all from the military, and there are no administrative bureaucrats.

The lessons of the civilized era are vividly visible, and the understanding of the same things between administrative officials and military personnel is too different. Although he repelled a kingdom coalition army, the total number of white people in the south was too large and the strength was too strong. Tianhao must seize the time to speed up the progress and strengthen the entire race as much as possible.

Some achievements have been made in the study of electricity. Fortunately, because of Tianhao's appearance, dragon researchers don't need to go out to fly kites in thunderstorms like Franklin, and confirm certain facts at the tragic cost of being scorched by lightning. They try to convert kinetic and thermal energy into electricity. The first electric light of this era was built by building a hand-cranked small generator similar to a bicycle, and the first electric light of this era was built in the most primitive way.

There are not too many technical difficulties in making ordinary glass, and many workshops have skilled glassblowers. As for the method of extracting the air inside the bulb, it is more unique. It is a manual extraction device made mainly of animal urine bubbles, and as long as you are skillful, the work is as simple as a child's play.

Tianhao knows the molecular structure of tungsten and also knows that this thing is heat-resistant. He taught the sorcerers how to extract the first tungsten rod from the ore, which in turn produced a usable tungsten filament. Looking at the light bulb installed on the platform at the end of the hand-cranked generator, the more than 300 witch walkers who watched and participated in the experiment felt a violent impact on their hearts and minds for the first time, and they shouted slogans such as "Long live His Royal Highness the Regent", "The gods are above", "This is science", and began the feverish research of this era like a group of madmen.

These are all things that happened last year. The capture of Suolong Pass by the Kingdom Alliance disrupted a lot of research progress, and all forces, whether it was the Dragon Science Research Institute or the Ministry of Chemistry, were forced to shift to the military side.

A small hydropower plant is already under construction and is expected to be completed this summer. Now that there is a theoretical basis for converting kinetic energy into electrical energy and the experiment has been successful, the next step is to scale up and generate a steady supply of electricity.

Dragons minted seven million silver coins last year. According to Tianhao's order, this year's silver coin minting must at least double this figure. Unlike paper money, which was forced to increase in the price inflation of the civilized era, the basis for the issuance of additional silver coins was also linked to material production, but both the value of the currency itself and the purchasing power of the product were strong. In particular, under the premise of winning the alliance of the southern kingdoms, capturing a large number of prisoners, it is foreseeable that the northern market will become hot in the next few years, and the scale of commerce will be further expanded.

Some new industries have emerged.

In the case of the former deer tribe, some of them became professional tailors, and some of them even opened small workshops. There are too many orders from the military, especially for professional military uniforms, which are enough to keep these garment workshops running at full power. Of course, military uniforms are made to a different standard than civilian clothing. The requirements of wear-resistant, anti-hanging, and anti-cracking alone have forced people who want to make money to rack their brains to desperately study fabrics, and then form a new discipline.

Blacksmith shops, which were once seen everywhere, were banned, and Tianhao ordered the steel industry to be nationalized and merged to form a steel company. The original blacksmiths were trained to work as workers in the factory, and at the same time enjoyed shares, and began a large-scale group production.

There are people everywhere, and the huge labor gap will inevitably affect the rural areas everywhere. Tianhao issued the strictest order since becoming regent: grain production in various regions must be paid attention to, and the grain handed over in a single or double season in different regions must exceed that of previous years.

The improvement of agricultural tools is always ongoing. Ensuring that every household has at least one ploughing ox was the most important policy that was established as early as the days of Rock City. The key to the establishment of armed forces and militia headquarters in various places is the support of local people during the farming and harvest seasons. In this era, there were no combine harvesters, and when all labor could only be carried out by manpower, the most effective method was the assembly line work system.

……

Looking at the food distributed in front of them, the Tiger civilians couldn't believe that this was true.

From Gangwei City to Bloodclaw City, all cities and villages have been stationed with dragon civil officials. By the standards of civilized times, these civil officials were equivalent to cadres such as the head of a sub-district office or a township head. At most, it is only at the section level, and the position is not high, but it has a lot of power.

Unlike the Leon, many Tigers have experienced hunger. Their concept of food is always associated with words like "precious".

The civil magistrates taught them to breed and supervised the people to cultivate and sow at the appointed time. In addition to the huge yield of corn and potatoes, other good varieties come from "Jia 43". There are some of the best wheat and oats in the world, as well as rice that doesn't taste very good but yields an amazing amount of rice.

Wu Lin is a refuge in the true sense of the word. At the time when he made the decision to abandon Hu Yongxian, he regarded himself as a true dragon.

He led the army to kill the entire Tiger royal family. Especially Hu Yaozong, who watched the whole family being collectively beheaded, and then hung on his tongue by Wu Lin with a red-hot hook, howling miserably for most of the day, and finally died in extremely tragic pain.

In Wu Lin's view, all this is revenge.
