The lack of talent finally manifested itself at this time, although Frederick had been alerted to this and cultivated here, but many problems were not immediately effective when you noticed them, especially in the Kingdom of Luzon in the past two years, the rapid increase in China's land area in the past two years has multiplied the number of enemies that need to be defended, from the original simple Pasha people to the current Pasha, Tang, Komini and Indians.

The revolt of the people in the occupied areas and the threat of strong external enemies began to constrain the development of the kingdom of Luzon from the very first day of its establishment, and Frederick knew that this was a challenge that the kingdom would have to face, but the power of this challenge still weighed heavily on Frederick.

Let Crouff leave South India and go to Manlon? This idea has been circling in Frederick's mind, and he can even guess that Cui Wenxiu, the commander of the Tang Army in the Central Continent, may even want to create such a posture to force himself to take care of one or the other, if Crouff returns to Manlon, Frederick believes that the situation in Luzon will soon be stabilized, with Crouff in charge, the activities of the Tang people in East Luzon are just a farce, but South India and Germany do not have Crouff in charge, I am afraid that only he will go into battle, but what about Cormini's side?

Frederick's heart felt a chill, and he seemed to imagine the moment when the commander of the Don Army was smiling and waiting for him to set foot on the land of South India, and perhaps the Don Army and the Cormini rebels would break through in Bamao and other places in Komini, and make a mess of Komini, who had gradually returned to calm. This is absolutely unacceptable, how much risk it took to painstakingly design to capture Comini, and how could he give up when he saw that victory was in sight? Moreover, this was the strong foundation of the Kingdom of Luzon, and if Frederick had to choose, Frederick would rather choose to abandon Eastern Luzon.

Frederick subconsciously shook his head, the wealth of South India is also the guarantee of the rise of the Luzon Kingdom, only by relying on the resources and funds of South India, the Luzon Kingdom can achieve rapid rise, the whole army is trained to expand the armament war, which requires strong financial support, and South India Dean will be an important financial pillar of the Luzon Kingdom, without this, the Luzon Kingdom will always fall into the quagmire of financial embarrassment, if you want to become a strong country, it is pure fantasy. The purpose of the Tang offensive in Luzon itself seems to have been to force itself to choose between South India and East Luzon.

Gritting his teeth, Frederick couldn't help but sigh, at this time he was able to experience the pain of being overstretched, and the lack of troops could also rely on the advantages of geography to make up for it, but there was no coach who could support the overall situation but it became his biggest weakness, it seems that only for the time being, Hilliard could hold on a little longer, Frederick could only hope that the actions of the Tang people on the East Luzon side were more of an attack and containment, and he had already made up his mind that when Cormini settled down and freed his hands, he would personally go out to Manlon to give the Tang people a profound lesson。

"What do you think of this matter?" Wu Feng glanced at the ministers in the palace after reading the urgent report from North Luzon in his hand, this urgent report was requested by Kong Yunzhen, the governor of North Luzon, originally the military affairs of the Central Continent had been fully authorized Cui Wenxiu to deal with it, but this matter was not only military affairs, but also involved civil affairs, so Kong Yunzhen would take the form of a flying report to seek the approval and support of the Imperial Central Committee.

"Your Majesty, Cui Wenxiu also sent a letter back, East Luzon has always been a blank area ruled by the Luzon people, and it was mainly the Gaoyue people who lived in that area at the beginning, but with the empire giving the Gaoyue people citizen treatment, many Gaoyue people moved out of that area to Vito, Volcano and Jinzhou and other places, and the population living in that area has been quite small, although the area is not small, but the terrain is mainly hilly and sloping, and the road conditions between Vito are not good, and now it is not easy to develop it in a short time. But from the perspective of the strategic situation, if we control this area, it will not only form a huge pressure on Manlon, but also pose a considerable threat to Robin further south, we can see from the map, control this area, the empire has formed a semi-arc encirclement of Luzon proper, so that the entire central part of Luzon properland is under the blow of our troops, which has a significant role in the empire's strategy in the Middle Continent, especially Luzon, so Cui Wenxiu also wrote to state the important surname of establishing a stable control area in Eastern Luzon, and Weichen also agreed。 ”

Ling Tianfang, the left envoy of the Imperial Privy Council, once again inspected Jiangnan to prepare for the emperor's trip to Jiangnan, and the Privy Council was the right envoy Bo Jinchen to preside over military affairs, and he unmistakably expressed his opinion on establishing rule in Eastern Luzon.

"Your Majesty, the development of East Luzon is not easy, the Luzon people have ruled East Luzon for so many years and have not established a solid rule there, the main reason is probably the poor natural conditions there, if you want to attract immigrants to develop it is not easy, and to consolidate the control of East Luzon, I am afraid that only large-scale immigration can really be done, there is also a need to improve the road transportation system to ensure it, and to carry out this huge project in terms of financial needs is probably also a large amount, I don't know if North Luzon has a perfect plan and preparation in these aspects？”

The speaker was Tian Yi, the Minister of Finance of the Empire, who was a veteran of the two dynasties, and was able to serve as the Minister of Finance of the Tang Empire, which really made many people feel unbelievable, from Situ Mingyue's important minister to Li Wufeng's favorite minister, many people are lamenting the shrewdness of this old and cunning political tumbler. Of course, there are a few people who know that the chancellor of the exchequer has hooked up with Li Wufeng as early as when he first entered the northwest, but this can at least prove one point, that is, Tian Yi's vision is unmatched. And now Tian Yi is the new Minister of Finance, and he has the momentum of Lao Ji Fu Yuan's ambition to go thousands of miles, and from the beginning of his tenure, he has methodically cleaned up the financial assets left over from the original Tang River Empire, and many of the assets and funds that originally belonged to the Tang River Empire but were borrowed and occupied by the original Tang River Empire's relatives and nobles were clearly separated and handed over to the new empire, so that the emperor's relatives and nobles gritted their teeth with hatred but were helpless.

However, in the face of the financial expenditure of the new empire, Tian Yi was also slightly different from the former financial secretary James, he did not inherit James's austerity policy, but advocated the appropriate relaxation of the empire's financial investment, and increased investment in infrastructure construction throughout the empire, especially road transportation, shipping terminals, water conservancy facilities, It is necessary to increase investment in rivers and canals, and use the financial investment of the empire to drive the inflow of local private funds into these industries, so as to promote the empire's economy to get off to a good start at the beginning of the founding of the country, and alleviate the huge population and employment pressure brought about by the calm down of the unification of the empire.

He believes that although the empire has suffered a period of war, but compared with the change of dynasties in previous dynasties, the replacement of the Tang Empire and the Tang River Empire is far more peaceful than the previous dynasties, and the war has not caused substantial damage to the vitality of the Tang people, and only needs a little care to restore the empire to the pre-war level, but if you want the empire's finances to support the frequent wars of the empire in the future, the existing finance is still far from enough, so he believes that the current financial investment of the empire must be used to drive the investment boom of the empire's people, especially in some industries with stable income but related to the national economy and people's livelihood, such as docks, shipbuilding, metallurgy, mining and other industries can raise shares to the private sector without affecting the control of these industries in the empire, so as to increase the speed of development of these industries. Although this contradicts the military's demand for greater military investment, this opinion coincides with the opinions of the empire's new Minister of Economic Development Yang Zhengbin and Commerce Minister Zeng Guohong, and has also won a certain degree of approval from Wufeng.

Today, his view is in fact implicitly his intention, that is, if the Northern Luzon region can put forward a rational proposal, the empire should actively support and respond, which can not only promote the further rapid development of the economy of Northern Luzon, but also meet the needs of national defense and military to varying degrees.

"Tian Yi, don't you know about Kong Yunzhen? His idea is to cut first and then create a fait accompli, not to mention the production plan, I am afraid that his plan has already been put into practice, the road from Vito Fucheng to Liushantaizi in the south has been completed in the Mu Haoran era, and now he has recruited 30,000 migrant workers in advance for the road project from Liushantaizi to Kuiyangba eighty miles, and the construction of the Kuiyangba fortress group has also invested 5,000 laborers. Wu Feng glanced at several ministers from the financial system with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the idea of Master Kong is actually understandable, the East Luzon region is rich in resources, but the basic conditions are slightly worse, now according to the recent statistics of the Ministry of Commerce, the demand for all kinds of precious timber in the empire is growing, especially the demand from the Indean region has skyrocketed several times, just the timber orders in Jinzhou have been scheduled for two years, the timber industry in Burmese County and Central South County has not been able to meet for a while, and East Luzon is extremely rich in timber resources and medicinal resources, during which many places are suitable for planting cash crops of fertile soil, if it can be developed, it can not only promote the economy of North Luzon to a higher level, but also to a large extent to meet the needs of the empire at home and abroad. On the list was the Imperial Minister of Commerce, Tsang Kuo-hong, who was also clearly positive about expanding the Eastern Luzon region.
