"Well, my husband said it very well, my own destiny should be in my own hands. It's good, fortunately, the concubine is willing to trust her own judgment, and this can marry my good husband...... Bad guy, I just said hello, why did you make it bad again. ”

"It's rare for us to be husband and wife with one heart, as the so-called heart has a soul, don't you think we should celebrate? Hey, hey, uh...... No way! This little guy actually peed. "Speechless, even the little guy who made love to his mother-in-law has to make trouble here, fortunately, I grew up in a rich family, and now I am under the dignity of the emperor.

I can afford to hire a nanny, otherwise, my mother-in-law's time will be taken up by this little girl.

"The land of Youyan, located in the north of Xinjiang, north of Liaodong, south of Hebei, is an important place, now, for Luo Yi to base, although this person is ambitious, but lack of talent, but is a prince's talent. Now, Dou Jiande is fighting with him, although there is a small victory, but his strength is weak, and he knows that he is not Dou Jiande's enemy, if it is not for Dou Jiande's dislike when he does not want to attack the land of Shanxi, he will not be able to get benefits, so Luo Yi can survive and steal his life. The whip in Li Jing's hand pointed at the huge map.

And the range of potential strength of each Central Plains Haoqiang will be marked with a color to make it eye-catching. And today, that is, before Ben Gongzi was ready to meet with the envoys, he was watching Li Jing analyze the situation in the world to many important civil and military ministers.

Well, this is a must, this son doesn't want all his ministers to be unclear about the situation of the country, to be a man with vision, and as a superior, he must have a view of the overall situation. Naturally, we are cultivating the vision of these important ministers.

Let them understand that the general trend of the world is related to the people's livelihood and habits, for example, if the land of Western Qin is not taken, then the special products from the Western Regions and even the Western Tai regions will be extremely expensive, and our precious items such as silk and porcelain will also be vigorously lowered by those traders because of the difficulties in the trade routes.

After the trade routes were opened, the trade became smooth, and the taxes naturally increased.

“…… And here, Du Fuwei occupies Liyang, Chen Ling occupies Jiangdu, and Li Zitong occupies Hailing, all with the intention of watching Jiangnan. So Li Zitong attacked and surrounded Chen Ling, who was in a critical situation and sent hostages to Shen Faxing and Du Fuwei to ask for help. Shen Faxing asked his son Shen Lun to lead tens of thousands of troops to rescue Chen Ling with Du Fuwei, Du Fuwei was stationed in Qingliu, and Shen Lun was stationed in Yangzi, dozens of miles apart. Li Zitong's Nayan Mao Wenshen offered a plan, recruited Jiangnan soldiers disguised as Shen Lun, and attacked Du Fuwei's military camp at night, Du Fuwei was very angry and also sent troops to attack Shen Lun. As a result, the two were suspicious of each other, and neither dared to advance the army.

At the beginning of this month, Li Zitong attacked Jiangdu with all his strength and conquered Jiangdu City, while Chen Ling went to defect to Du Fuwei. Li Zitong entered and exited Jiangdu, took advantage of the situation to attack Shen Lun, defeated Shen Lun, and Du Fuwei also led the army to withdraw. Li Zitong then became the emperor, the country name was 'Wu', and the founding year name was Ming Zheng. The leader of the Danyang thieves, Le Botong, was originally Yu Wenhua and defended Danyang, and at this time led more than 10,000 people and horses to surrender to Li Zitong, and Li Zitong appointed him as the left servant of Shangshu...... Now, Li Zitong has taken control of Jiangdu, and intends to drink horses and go south to take the territory of Shen Faxing......"

"Chaos, it's really messy enough, the Central Plains is chaotic, and this Jiangnan is also chaotic." Ma Zhou shook his head with a heavy face: "No wonder now, there are still many people who have left their hometowns, I remember that last month, there were nearly 2,000 refugees from Jiangnan who entered Guanzhong." ”

"Obediently, the population under the rule of His Majesty has increased by nearly two million compared to the great cause." Cheng Yanjin looked at a piece of information in his hand and couldn't help but smack his tongue. "This is not counting the displaced people recruited by His Majesty in Hancheng in the past."

Fang Xuanling nodded, took the information and said with a smile: "Yes, now, there are a total of 7,853,745 mouths in the land under His Majesty's rule, however, in the land of Bashu, there are still five counties that have not been counted, and if you think about it, there should be close to 8 million people, 1.6 million households." Today, nearly one-third of these two million displaced people have been distributed to the Guanbei region, the land of Western Qin and Hexi. Another third have already gone to the land of Bashu. The remaining one-third is currently under construction in Guanzhong, and now there are 410,000 displaced people in Hancheng County who work and live here. ”

"During the reign of Emperor Kaihuang of the former Sui Dynasty, there were more than 7 million households in the world, and now, under the rule of His Majesty, the land is only one-fifth of that of the previous dynasty, but the population is 1.6 million households, nearly a quarter of the world." Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but look like his face was full of red light, yes, in the past, one-fifth of the population was able to feed eight million people, which is definitely a great initiative.

"During the Great Cause, there were successive battles, and the people of the world didn't know how many Lu Dao died, and I am afraid that it was not even two-thirds of the heyday of the Kaihuang period." Qu Tutong's face couldn't help but darken, and he said with a wry smile.

Fang Xuanling thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes, the three expeditions of Goguryeo died hundreds of thousands of soldiers alone, Shandong and Hebei swept the ground for soldiers, and I don't know how many people died in Ludao, and then the world was in chaos, the heroes rose together, everywhere was smoked, and there was no place for peace in the world......"

"But fortunately, with His Majesty's presence, the people can get a place of peace, otherwise...... With more than two million displaced people, I really don't know how much Lu Dao can live. Li Jing let out a cloudy breath and smiled.

Most of these displaced people who went north and south to Bashu will be given land to cultivate. In addition, those captured surrendered soldiers, whether they were from Western Qin or Bashu, except for leaving enough elite reorganization, the others have become engineers.

Nowadays, the road construction in the land of Bashu is advancing by leaps and bounds. Three cement plants with a daily output of 1,000 tons of cement have been opened, and various building materials factories such as lime factories and brick factories are also under construction.

In the land of Bashu, the Shu road is difficult, but after having the gunpowder thing, even if it is still very difficult to build the road, it is faster than in the past. At present, from Qipanguan to Yicheng County, four tunnels have started construction in the past 100 miles.

It is expected that by the middle of next year, the cement straight road from Qipanguan to Uiseong-gunji will be completed in its entirety. At that time, it would only be fifty miles from Qipanguan to Yicheng County, and there would be many detours. What's more, if this cement straight road is smooth.

From Chang'an to Guangyuan, it is only more than 930 miles of road, if you take a stagecoach, it only takes less than two days to arrive. When the cement straight road from Guangyuan to Chengdu is also completely completed, the distance from Chang'an to Chengdu is expected to be about 1,500 miles. That is to say, in less than three days, you can go straight from Chang'an to Chengdu, and from Yan'an to Chengdu, it is only four days.

In this era, in this era of lack of steam power and mechanical power, it is absolutely amazing to be able to achieve such a fast speed by relying solely on animal power.

At least Ben Gongzi was also taken aback after some calculations, well, if in the past, before the cement straight road was built, if you want to walk from Yan'an County in the Guanbei region to Chengdu, it will take at least more than two months to arrive, even if it is an ordinary rich person riding a horse, it will take almost half a month's work.

And two years later, it was only about four days to take a stagecoach from Yan'an to Chengdu, not to mention me, even if it was these important civil and military ministers of the Chinese Empire, one or two were deeply shocked. At the same time, I also feel deeply, after all, the cement straight road has been built between the counties and counties in Guanzhong, and they are also very aware of the convenience and durability of the cement straight road.

In the past, after a few heavy rains or torrential rains, the yellow mud road had to be repaired with labor, but now? The sturdiness and durability of the cement straight road made them understand that as long as they took care of it, it would be no problem to use it for more than ten or even a hundred years.

And that's not all. The Minister of Transportation, Takeshi Tong, pointed at the map and continued, "...... It is expected that within five years, all counties will be able to connect to the cement straight road, making the transportation of the places under the jurisdiction extremely convenient. More importantly, a well-developed transportation network has many benefits, first, it strengthens the empire's control over the local area, and second, developed transportation can make business and trade more efficient, which can greatly reduce transportation costs. Third, the national postal system and transportation system can also benefit enormously. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the benefits that transportation can bring are not only these, for example, in the land of Bashu, if there is a war, then, if an army of 50,000 people is sent to quell the rebellion, then at least 30,000 people will need to transport the baggage, if it takes more than a month, then the number of people will have to be doubled."

"Now, for example, before, in the southern expedition to the land of Bashu, we only dispatched fifty transport vehicles, three hundred horses, and one hundred drivers, and it took half a month to transport all the baggage that 200,000 troops could use for two months to Qipanguan. After that, in the land of Bashu, we recruited nearly 70,000 people to transport grain, grass and baggage......" Speaking of this, the warrior Tong couldn't help but sigh. "If there is no concrete straight road, every time the empire launches a major war, it will affect the people of Guanzhong, and it may even continue the old things of the previous dynasty."

I glanced at these shocked guys, and I was very proud in my heart, if it wasn't for my son's insistence, where would there be such a guanzhong?

Qu Tutong stroked the long beard under his chin, sighed and said: "In the past, Yang Guang, the former emperor of the previous dynasty, went north to Goguryeo and sent millions of troops, but the number of people used reached 700,000, and even if it was the third northern expedition to Goguryeo, 400,000 troops were sent, but the number of people recruited reached 250,000. ”

"In the three northern expeditions, almost all the young and strong people in Shandong were conscripted into the army. In the end, the people of the Great Sui were resentful, and there was smoke and dust everywhere. ”

Li Jing said with a smile: "In the past, I also knew that the cement straight road was quite beneficial, but now I feel that its benefits are really beneficial to the people." ”

"So, what do you mean by agreeing to this five-year plan?" I looked at the civil and military ministers with a smile and asked.
