The railways from the Urals and Lushun were thoroughly included in the plan.

It's just that it is very difficult to put it into practice...

Not to mention anything else, with such a complex terrain, I don't know how much time it takes to explore alone.

But fortunately, with the silver, the manpower is also abundant, so Zhang Jingyi is not worried, all this is just a matter of time.

And once the railroad is connected, that means...... The entire west of the Urals is only afraid that it will be in the hands of Liaodong forever.

Not only that, the door to the West has been completely opened by land, and Zhang Jingyi can't say what the future will look like.

After all...... Technology will spread, and the current Liaodong does occupy a large advantage, but it cannot guarantee that it will always occupy an advantage in the next few decades or even a hundred years.

Therefore, it is necessary to be able to achieve a few points when technology and strength are absolutely ahead, and once the lethality of weapons becomes greater and greater in the future, many things are difficult to say.

On the other hand, it is necessary to do our best to maintain this leading position, so forward-looking technical, engineering, industrial and agricultural planning must be rolled out in advance.

The plan of the steam ironclad ship not only brought about the mastery of sea control, but also gave a huge boost to the entire Liaodong.

A large number of new technologies began to be applied to a wide range of fields, especially the large-scale development of Liaodong, and under the condition of abundant funds, countless technologies began to be applied.

The large increase in the number of craftsmen has also led to a strong consumption power.

After all, in this era when the vast majority of the world is an agricultural society, in fact, most of the main consumers in this world are a very small number of nobles, gentry, lords, and all living beings do not have the ability to consume, the vast majority of people are in a state of self-sufficiency, weaving cloth by themselves, cultivating their own land to obtain food, and building a broken house with rammed earth, they suppress people's needs to the minimum, except for the acquisition of salt, almost the vast majority of people in the vast majority of places do not need to buy any commodities at all, even if there is a slight demand, In most places, the state of bartering is still retained.

The increase in craftsmen has led to the emergence of a new group in Liaodong, which is no longer self-sufficient, and they must earn a salary, and then use the salary to meet their own food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Such a large number of groups, the consumption power brought by is extremely considerable, although compared with later generations, it is really not worth mentioning, and in this world, the consumption power of Liaodong has actually begun to increase wildly, and some people have even begun to estimate that the consumption power of one million households in Liaodong is very likely to surpass the south of the Yangtze River, compared to the Gyeonggi area, it is not much better.

The demand of heavy industry has also brought about the expansion of mining and steel production, and at the end of the year, the steelmaking volume in Liaodong has reached 400,000 tons.

Of course, Zhang Jingyi is still very dissatisfied with this figure, although it has surpassed the 340,000 tons in the capital, and this figure actually exceeds the output of Britain in 1810 during the Industrial Revolution.

However, Liaodong's demand for steel is still growing exponentially.

The machinery of the workshop needed steel, weapons, railways, and ships, so much so that Liaodong even imported 130,000 tons of steel from the customs that year.

And because the demand is so huge, investing in steel has almost become a lucrative business, so now everyone who can build a steel workshop is a huge rich.

The large population of Kannai also seems to be starting to move.

The influx of a large number of people has also begun to increase greatly, especially in Shandong and Xuanfu, which is the most prevalent.

Naturally, this also caused a big discussion between the DPRK and China.

This discussion took place the following year.

At the beginning of the year, the governors of Xuanfu and Shandong provinces, together with the political envoys, said that the people who had fled from the household were fleeing the Japanese people, and there were people who had migrated, so that the population in the countryside withered, and ten rooms and nine were empty.

These words, of course, are suspected of exaggeration.

However, it does illustrate the embarrassment at this time.

In fact, the new policy has been implemented in all provinces, but the historical inertia is here, to put it bluntly, the implementation of the new policy is not thorough, for example, the land is nominally divided, but the gentry still have great authority in the countryside by relying on the relationship between the weaving, they even control the harvest of the villagers by controlling the water source, or in the name of the clan, they still manipulate the villagers.

For the villagers, most of them are ignorant, after all, the vast majority of people are illiterate, what the new policy of the imperial court is, they do not know anything, at first divided the land, soon found that their own tools for cultivating the land are insufficient, and they have to rent, or, the water source is manipulated, and they have to ask for help.

When it was time for the harvest, the price of grain was kept to a very low level, while the price of the grain and other tools needed to grow it skyrocketed.

Under these circumstances, the lives of many people have not been substantially improved.

As a result, at this time, a lot of news came from Liaodong, so everyone simply stopped playing with you, so there were many people in Liaodong, and the gentry who thought they had controlled the price of food and water were dumbfounded.

It was only at this time that they realized that people ...... It turned out to be able to run.

This run is really messed up.

Regarding this meeting, Sun Chengzong, the newly appointed scholar of Shoufu University, presided over the meeting, and the other cabinet scholars Liu Hongxun and cabinet scholar Li Qiyuan also had different views.

The various Shangshu and Shilang, including the imperial history and Hanlin, can be described as gearing up.

From the start, it smelled of gunpowder.

And the attitude of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is even more interesting, he did not express his position, but wanted to hear the opinions of the princes.

At first, Hanlin Gaojian spoke, talking about the embarrassment after the massive loss of population, and now that the household registration system has collapsed, even if the new policy has abolished the strict household registration system during the original Taizu Gao Emperor, it cannot be left unchecked.

After saying a word, but soon Hanlin came forward, opened his mouth to refute, said that the root of the problem is that the new policies of Shandong and Xuanfu are in vain, which has displaced the people, and now the people have given up the land and become displaced people, and the responsibility is not in Liaodong, but on the governor of Shandong, the political envoy and the officials of Xuanfu.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was still silent, but when he saw that the noise was getting more and more intense, he looked at Sun Chengzong and the others: "What do the three Qing families think?" ”

Sun Chengzong is the first assistant, but he is not in a hurry to express his position.

Liu Hongxun said: "It is still necessary to come up with practical measures to avoid the collapse of the situation in Shandong and Xuanfu." ”

This means that you want to take care of it.

Li Qiyuan said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is imperative not to leave his hometown, it is a last resort, the so-called people leave their hometown, who wants to leave their ancestral homeland?" If it weren't for the perfunctory new policies of Shandong and Xuanfu, the corpses of the officials would not be at such a point today. Now ignoring these actual circumstances, but blindly asking the people to stay where they are, Your Majesty is not going to die, before the first time the exiles were everywhere, didn't the court also want the people to stay where they were, and not to become outcasts? But what is the result? It can be seen that people can't keep the lowly people, and they can't keep them to effectively solve the livelihood of the people, but hope to teach them to keep to themselves with the help of an edict. In the past two years, Shandong and Xuanfu have no disasters and no difficulties, according to the words of the imperial history of Shandong Province, but there are many starvation phenomena, it can be seen that the problem has been very serious, the minister thinks, should first thoroughly investigate the two landlords and adjutant of Shandong and Xuanfu, and then order the imperial history to inspect and find out the problem. After that, the cadres were appointed to effectively solve the problems of the people's henchmen, so that the people's hearts and minds would be at peace. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse listened thoughtfully, and he glanced up at Li Qiyuan.

When Li Qiyuan entered the cabinet, his position seemed to be more radical than that of Sun Chengzong, and he could be described as the vanguard of the new policy.

This once made the Emperor of the Apocalypse think that Li Qiyuan was not an official from the imperial examination, but from the Donglin Military Academy.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled: "Liu Qing's family." ”

Liu Hongxun said: "The minister is here." ”

"Li Qing's words also make sense, do you have anything else to add?"

Liu Hongxun smiled bitterly, in fact, the two looked at the problem from different angles, he pondered for a moment, and stopped talking.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Liu Qing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"Your Majesty, what Gong Li said has its own reason. It's just that...... There is one thing, presumably His Majesty has also found out. ”

He paused, still hesitating, because once things lay out, some consequences could not be predicted.

As soon as the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard his words, he seemed to know what he meant, and he seemed to vaguely know what he wanted to say, so he said, "Liu Qing doesn't know why." ”

Liu Hongxun took a deep breath and said, "I heard that the minister ...... Recently, the capital and Jiangnan, as well as all the provinces in the world, have a 'classmates' association, and there are many people who have joined the association...... There are a lot of people, most of whom are the backbone of the alumni association, and the alumni association is not only popular, but also organizes meetings and reads newspapers every once in a while, among which ......"

He glanced up at Li Qiyuan: "Among them, Li Gong ...... It seems to have a place in the North Zhili branch of the alumni association, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, the officials were silent.

The development of the alumni association is extremely fast.

It can be described as a rapid popularity.

This is understandable.

Science has completely collapsed.

This collapse is not only due to the promotion of the New Deal, but also because of the ...... The original set is actually no longer working.

In reality again and again, if you don't wake people up, the people who read in the world will really be stupid.

It is precisely because of this that at a time of ideological confusion, the alumni association can be said to have taken advantage of the void, and many of the new programs and ideas in it themselves explain the current economic and production problems.

Many people who began to lose heart with the original doctrine and philosophy seem to be slowly beginning to accept this new thing.

Not only Lee Ki-won, but also many people in the DPRK and China have begun to read the manuscripts about the alumni reunion, and there are not a few who have joined.
