Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is September 1352, at this time the plot of Yitian has ended, and the lion slaughter conference has long been held in Shaolin. And Zhang Wuji went to seclusion with Zhao Min. Cheng Pan was so caught up in a series of things in the newly occupied area that he didn't have time to join in the fun. At that time, the situation in Hubei had just been determined, and it was difficult for Hunan to carry out its work due to the lack of manpower, and only the fact that the strongest armed forces in the region had been determined, and a series of grass-roots structures that were marked by the state's implementation of local control, such as taxation organization and management of industrial product sales markets, had not yet been established. Now the republic has barely taken control of the newly occupied territory. To completely stabilize the dìng, we have to look at this year's autumn harvest. Because after the autumn harvest, the common people will become supporters of the republic when they are sure that the new government can guarantee that the fruits of their labor for a year can be returned to their homes. But it has only become a supporter, and now the property of the people in the newly occupied areas is still in its infancy, and it is also a loss that these newly occupied areas are two production areas, and the new government's fiscal expenditure can be balanced according to these taxes, if it is a poor place like Shaanxi and Guizhou. The republican government still has to pay for education and water construction. That is to say, the common people of these newly occupied territories have not yet exchanged surplus grain with republican industrial products.

Cheng Pan has been in this plane for so many years and feels a truth, in this troubled era, food is the foundation of a qiē. The essence of food is energy, the only energy that can be absorbed by people. And man is the highest productive force in the republic now. A qiē's material wealth is created by people. Although the Republican Army collected a large amount of money in the homes of the rebels in the process of fighting the local tyrants and dividing the land, it was from the perspective of the state. This money is not useful at the moment, and perhaps in the future, when the people create more wealth, the state can use these seized wealth to exercise balanced control over the country's economy. But now that all the heavy industries are state-owned, and the private buying and selling of bulk grain has been stopped within the republic, the republic does not have the means to control the country's lifeblood industry, and all the country's wealth is concentrated by the republic with state management methods, so for the republic, which has mastered the three pillar industries of grain, steel, and coal, a large amount of gold and silver in his hands cannot continue to improve the national wealth. Of course, if these gold and silver can be purchased like foreign goods, then it is another situation. But now there is no other civilization in the world that can trade with the republic in the raw materials of food. If you open up the European route at any cost, gold and silver still have a role, but not to mention how much European productivity can provide now. The Black Death alone discouraged Cheng Pan's plans to contact Europe before the antibiotic research was completed.

The republics of the island of Luzon turned their attention to the south in search of new grain producing areas. With the pioneering of the first generation of immigrants. In addition, Fang's army raided Fujian and Hangzhou, and He Zhen in Guangdong also carried out an uprising, and a large number of immigrants from South China who could adapt to the climate of the South Seas were settled, and now a large number of people affected by the war began to go to the South Seas as a way of life. When the republic expanded in the six lands, it had to compete with the local landlords for the ultimate means of production of land. And because the immigrants did not have land, there were no people who were against the republic. As proletarian immigrants, after happily accepting the land allocated by the republic, it has no meaning for the republic's 100 acres of land. These immigrants have all turned their attention to the thirty acres of land in front of them. As for the upper limit of 100 acres of land in the future, this will have to wait until your children and grandchildren become rich.

This meant that there was no internal resistance to the Republic's pioneering policy in the South Seas. Not only is there no resistance, but these immigrants are far more obedient to the government than the native population. This is because when a person arrives in an unfamiliar place, his first reaction is to find his own organization to hold together. The powerful and generous leader of the republic certainly had great prestige among these immigrants.

The internal resistance of the Republic in the South Seas is small, and the external resistance is not great. The biggest enemy is actually the epidemic, the republic is still short of doctors, and now the republic in the Nanyang immigrants, once the immigrants who were doctors before are all subject to strict verification and then hired with high salaries, now the salary of a doctor is even more than the treatment of the captain of a thousand pioneer teams in the Republic. Not only that, drinking boiled water in Nanyang has been codified in the provisional law, and Artemisia annua has become a necessary store in meals. In such a strict prevention and control, the incidence of illness among immigrants is very low.

In addition to the epidemic, there are also the local natives, these natives are actually paper tigers, and the Nanyang immigrants were a little afraid of these dwarfs hiding in the jungle at first, but later, under the leadership of the old immigrants, they saw them as coyotes in the jungle. When these natives are in groups, they are still a threat to lone migrants. But once the settlers lined up according to their training, they drew their spears, and with only twenty men, they could drive away the natives of a hundred to attack. As for the more indigenous attacks, there is no at all. As soon as the Republican Nanyang Expeditionary Force arrived everywhere, it carried out a clean-up campaign thirty miles from the settlement. All the indigenous villages were evicted. The natives were driven into the mountains and forests by the Communists. Not only that, but there is also a demon wrapped around the heads of these natives. That's the virus, the cold virus from China's big 6 spreads among these natives.

The expansion of the republic in Luzon was not hindered by any force. The Kingdom of Sulu to the south was probably the only state-level resistance to exist. But the kingdom was wiped out by the Republican army before it reached its heyday twenty years later. The country is a local maritime powerhouse, but these fleets of canoes and boats are a dish in front of the republic's flying sword warships. Although Cheng Pan did not focus on the technology of maritime hegemony, Cheng Pan did not show warship technology at all, and relied on the original flat ships to kill the fleet of this primitive era.

This is true in the Navy. This is especially the case in the 6th Army, under the bullet of the Republican Army, the military power of the Kingdom of Sulu in the 6 places in the Philippines was completely defeated, at this time Luzon was a large island in the north of the Philippines, and the land in the south that was newly conquered by the Republican Army was newly named Pearl Island by the Republic, and the Republic called the archipelago in the center of the Philippines the Qunxing Island Group, and now the Republic still has no effective control over this new island group. Or because of the small number of people. The USCIS is now in full swing to the south. The 6 Seas alone commanded the military movements in the South Seas, and although there was no strong enemy to fight, the immigrant strongholds needed strong protection from the Republican Army. Taiwan is now basically sending one division south every year. Now there are three divisions in Luzon, and preparations are already underway for the training of the fourth.

The reason why the republic wants to maintain such power is in Luzon and the Pearl Island. In the original space-time, the Dutch only kept a force of 2,000 troops in the Philippines. The reason is that the republic's mode of expansion is different from that of the Dutch, who are mainly for trade in the Philippines, and they only need to control a few ports, and the rest is to stir up contradictions between the local natives and the Han Chinese to maintain their position as rulers. And the republic is completely annexed. Practice perfect control. Therefore, there are a lot of garrison troops needed. According to the current degree, in one year, the number of immigrants in the Philippines will exceed 500,000, and the local militia construction in the settlements where the earliest immigrants were settled will be completed. At that time, the republic would not need to continue to invest troops. After the local militia was equipped with muskets and completed the training for platoon gun shooting, the two main battle divisions of the republic could be called back.

Turning the attention back to the big 6, now the population of the republic itself has nearly 12 million people, and it is the first time for the republic to govern such a large population group, so some management mechanisms are also being reformed, first divided into provinces. The four provinces of Hubei, Hunan, Anhui, and Jiangxi have been established in the territory of the republic. As for the administrative center, it has not yet been determined. The republic's plan for the future is to establish its capital in Wuhan. But now Anhui has the most advanced and huge industrial zone in the Republic. Therefore, the republic of the industrial country must establish its center in Anhui. Now the industrial zone in Hubei is also being established. However, it cannot be compared with the Ma'anshan Industrial Zone in Anhui Province in terms of the previous process, and it cannot be compared with the Huainan Industrial Zone with labor and energy advantages under construction in terms of scale. Wuhan, a first-class industrial province in the country in the original time and space, still needs to go a long way to surpass Anhui in this time and space.

The reason for this is related to Anhui's talent pool, where the literacy rate for men has reached 70 percent, and the literacy rate for women has also reached 40 percent. Among them, the establishment of the examination system of chemistry and physics has made a lot of breakthroughs in Anhui's technology, and now the industrial scale of the republic has been approaching that of Britain in the middle of the nineteenth century, but in the specific materials science, a large amount of accumulation is still needed. Here's an example. The open-hearth furnaces in the Republican steelworks used to use silicon-containing ceramic refractory bricks, but this brought silicon into the steel and reduced the quality of the steel. After the study of the brick factory. Finally, bricks containing aluminum and magnesium were fired, and an alkaline open-hearth furnace was established. Improved steel quality. This technique only uses the knowledge of acidity and alkalinity in high school chemistry, but it requires a lot of mathematical calculations, building a model, selecting the optimal ratio, and then going through many experiments. One of the troubles can be imagined, which requires a large number of high school chemistry and mathematics talents cultivated in the Republic. At present, only the first areas near Anshan Industrial Zone to implement education have the strength to carry out such experiments. Other industrial zones can only learn from each other and then explode production.

The industrial scale can use the national power to promote the exhibition, but the accumulation of materials science must rely on the education mechanism to cultivate a large number of talents to carry out technical research.

At this time, the republic was calm in the eyes of the outside world, but people inside the republic knew that under this calm, the power of the outside world's imagination was brewing.
