Nowadays, more and more things are brought back from various expeditions, all kinds of spices, which are very popular with the common people and merchants of the Chinese Empire, and those mineral deposits are warmly welcomed by the court.

Nowadays, the public opinion propaganda of the Chinese Empire has played an extremely good role in this regard, in short, the beauty of the Nanyang Islands has been publicized every day, which really makes many people want to go and see it. Well, that's the result of a reader survey.

In order to achieve such a goal, traffic must be carried out first. Otherwise, the long journey will make people lose all their passion, just like when I was a child and followed my father to Beijing to play, just by taking the train, it was enough to sit for two days and two nights, not to mention the aisle, even the toilet was crowded with people, that scene, to this day I still shudder when I think about it.

After that, I didn't want to squeeze the damn train to kill me, but I had to sit in the train and practice the magic of holding urine and urine in order to make a living.

Nowadays, the population of the Chinese Empire is still very sparse, far less crowded than in the later world, I remember that especially when I go out to travel on holidays, especially in the tourist area, it is simply like going to the east and west markets everywhere, and everything is crowded.

Buy tickets and squeeze, buy popsicles and squeeze, even squeeze the toilet, damn it, I remember once playing in the Forbidden City, when Lao Tzu happened to have an uncomfortable stomach, if it weren't for a buddy in front of me who saw Ben Gongzi's face pale, he politely let me first, I'm afraid that Ben Gongzi is likely to broadcast live in public.

I still feel ashamed to think about it, which is why Ben Gongzi strongly requires that the social and sanitary environment in Chang'an must be in place, every square has a public toilet, and the east and west markets require every merchant to build a resistance office, and in the east and west cities, four public toilets have been built each.

It is to prevent some people who cannot find a toilet from having to defecate in order to solve the problem of internal urgency. I'm sure no one knows how to urinate in public. Unless it is forced to do so, of course, people who drink too much and get sick are naturally not counted.

In order to beautify Chang'an, in order to ensure that all the streets of Chang'an will not have stains of urine and urine, so many public toilets have been built. To be honest, the effect is quite good, at least when I just marched into Chang'an City, you can see horse dung, cow dung, and traces of human visits in many places.

But now, all the oxen and carriages are loaded with dung pockets, of course, the beasts are booing everywhere, which is really impossible to stop, but at least there will not be a lump of yellow and bright here, and a lump of green and secluded there.

If it takes only one day to get from Chang'an to the land of Cochin, and then it only takes two days to take a boat from Cochin to Luzon, in this way, I believe that countless people will have the spirit and interest to enjoy the scenery of southern Xinjiang.

The information from Jiangnan has become more and more clear, Li Zitong has indeed retreated, or has a more sensible understanding of his situation, and it is clear that he can no longer gain a foothold here for a long time.

Just three months ago, Li Zitong's general Fang Shuxiang led 30,000 troops, crossed the sea by boat, went straight to the Ryukyu Islands, occupied 11 islands in a row, conquered or bought the tribes on the islands, and began to build a wharf on the Ryukyu Islands to prepare for Li Zitong's army.

After Li Zitong received Fang Shuxiang's letter, he began to organize the people to cross the sea to Ryukyu by boat. And under my secret instructions, the navy and navy of the Chinese Empire did not stop them, and even acquiesced to those maritime merchants to transport the people of Jiangnan to the Ryukyu Islands.

Why? It's not just about laying the groundwork for future immigrants. You know, Ben Gongzi can't drive people onto the ship with a leather whip like Li Zitong and these wicked people, because the Chinese Empire needs to abide by the law, so we can't use such a trick.

However, Li Zitong's immigration to Ryukyu is simply an undesirable thing for my Chinese Empire. This will give us even more reason to go to and occupy the Ryukyu Islands.

A few days ago, an important news came from the west, the Persians were very dissatisfied with the erosion of their missionary efforts by the Great Eclipse, and wanted to attack the Great Eclipse, but unexpectedly, they were brutally cleaned up by the Great Cannibals, losing nearly 100,000 horses, this news, so that the Byzantium and Persians were greatly frightened, how could they not have imagined that a small organization that was unknown more than 20 years ago is now actually soaring, and has the strength to compete with the two great powers at the junction of Europe and Asia.

And our envoys have already met with the king of the Persian Empire and presented him with a batch of gifts from the Chinese Empire, in which there is a glass mirror about half a foot square, which is directly regarded as a treasure by the Persian king.

In addition, the beautiful and luxurious glass wine utensils made all the ministers of the Persian Empire stare at the green eyes, as well as the gorgeous and cold silk, the porcelain as white and delicate as mutton fat jade, and the fine and powerful steel crossbow, and the Chinese hundred steel knives that were not inferior to Damascus steel.

In addition, when the full-body heavy plate armor produced by the Chinese Empire appeared in front of the eyes of the Persian Empire, the Persians were completely shocked by this terrifying, steel-like humanoid heavy armor, even if the Persian military general used his scimitar that could cut gold and jade, it only left a faint white mark on the surface of the plate armor.

Seeing this scene, all the ministers of the Posi Empire were shocked and speechless for a long time. The Persian king directly asked the envoys whether the Chinese Empire was willing to become friends with the Persians and carry out bilateral trade.

Naturally, I don't have any opinion on this, I have already fallen in love with the Persian Empire, the financier, and I have long coveted the minerals of the Middle East, if I don't agree, it will be unless I am insane.

The Western Turks are now doing a lot of trade with us through the Western Regions Corridor, and now the railways are already being built, but the railways are mainly for long-distance and ultra-long-haul. For medium and short distance travel, I believe that the rich prefer convenient carriages.

Nowadays, the use of horses is no longer limited to the sale of crossbow horses to the people, and even retired military horses are also sold. Nowadays, the people of the Chinese Empire are getting richer and richer, so the means of travel have naturally become more advanced.

Another reason is that centralized agriculture has been carried out in the Guanzhong area, which has greatly increased the use of horses, and the emergence of centralized agriculture has not only saved manpower and material resources, but also liberated more labor from the farmland and entered all walks of life such as factories and shops.

Today, the population engaged in agriculture in the Guanzhong and Yan'an regions of the Chinese Empire accounts for only half of the total population of the Guanzhong region. The number of workers in the major factories around Chang'an alone has reached 1.3 million.

This is definitely a pretty frightening number, ten years ago, the number of people engaged in agriculture reached 90 percent of the total population during the Sui Dynasty, and now, it has dropped to 50 percent, which is definitely a huge leap.

Of course, there are many reasons for this, such as the influx of a large number of displaced people who have lost their land, and the impact of land redistribution after the war in Guanzhong.

Although the agricultural population in the Bashu area has dropped a lot, there are still nearly 70 percent of the agricultural population, after all, the development time in the Bashu area is still short, and most people still feel that it is more practical to dig food from the ground.

However, in the Xiqin and Hexi regions, because of the vast land and sparsely populated areas, a large number of concentrated agriculture was adopted, so that the number of agricultural population here remained at about 60%.

Increasing the proportion of the industrial and commercial population is equivalent to liberating more productive forces. The benefits of centralized agricultural production are not only the reduction of the agricultural population, but also the professional training of agricultural technicians under the guidance of official agricultural technicians! Gradually, the peasants understood the benefits of the new agricultural production, which in turn led to a greater increase in agricultural yields.

In addition, in the Lingnan area, many low-yield, but good-tasting and excellent rice have also been retained, and these rices will naturally become a high-end staple food, exclusively for those who are wealthy, and the price is naturally much higher than ordinary rice.

But the problem is that people like me would rather spend a little more money than eat rice that doesn't taste too good.

The population in the Cochin area has surged from 350,000 in the past to more than one million, of which Han Chinese account for 75 percent of the total number. Now, the area controlled by Cheng Yanjin has become another granary of the Chinese Empire, where the grain is harvested three times a year has inspired the great enthusiasm of the common people.

The important thing is that the tax here is completely exempt for the first five years, and after five years, it is only half tax. Think about it, one acre of land only needs to pay one-half of the past, but the output here is three times as much as in the past. How does this not motivate?

In addition to some Han people who were sent directly from the Guanzhong area, there were also some from Bashu, but most of them came from the land of Lingnan, after all, the land of Lingnan is rich in mountains and waters, and it is difficult for the common people to obtain enough fertile land to grow food.

Therefore, the common people in the Lingnan area are quite poor, but when they come to Cochin, they are completely different, they like to continue to do farm work, distribute land, the tax is very low, and they like to work as workers.

In addition, national Mongolian schools have been established in all counties. Each school can accommodate more than 5,000 students. This was unprecedented in all previous dynasties. In the past, it was more important to pay attention to the difference between the doors, but this son ignored those things, perhaps the influence of the Xungui family has fallen to the freezing point within the Chinese Empire.

I admit that these noble families brought a large number of talents to the Chinese Empire, but these noble families tried many times to influence the various policies of the court through these people, but in the end, their ideas did not succeed.
