Chapter 305: Opening a Province and Establishing a City

readx;

Having obtained a huge fortune that could wake up even dreaming, Huang Sheng, who had completely let go of the worries in his heart, couldn't help but smile happily from the bottom of his heart! Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to make a long speech and take advantage of the financial embarrassment of the Government Council so that Huo Shan could dispel the idea of continuing to expand the army, but now it seems that he is not needed!

"Prime Minister, I remember that when we first formulated the five-year economic plan, our entire budget did not exceed two billion even if we added the islands of Java and Sumatra! Why has the investment in the five-year plan increased so much in the past year?" Huo Wolf, who had been sitting beside Huo Shan just now, suddenly asked.

"What else can it be, it's all this guy's idea! I want to exchange money for the understanding of European countries for our occupation of the Nanyang Islands, and later the United States used the same method in the war, a full 500 million pounds, 2 billion silver dollars!" Huang Sheng glared at Huo Shan fiercely, and said angrily.

Hearing this, Young Master Huo couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment, what he originally wanted was to use these orders and then let the factories in various European countries produce all kinds of industrial equipment and products that Huo Jiajun needed as soon as possible! When the economic crisis breaks out, the prices of these things will definitely plummet! In this way, the backlog of hundreds of millions of pounds of products cannot help but occupy the working capital of various factories, accelerate their bankruptcy, and further deepen the economic crisis of European countries! And Huo Jiajun can also take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of it!

However, these things are too complicated, and they involve Huoshan's layout of the economic crisis, so it is difficult for others to know. So he didn't explain Huang Sheng's words!

Only Huo Wolf, who participated in the layout of Huo Mountain throughout the whole process, glanced thoughtfully at the young master sitting on the side!

"Of course, the rapid growth of economic planned investment is not all because of those orders. Another thing is that this year, especially after the occupation of Nanyang by the Huo Jiajun and the recognition of the rest of the world, there are too many people who choose to emigrate, far beyond the expectations of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Government Council, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs!

With the establishment of Huo Jiajun, there are preferential policies for immigrants within Huo Jiajun, such as providing travel expenses. The settling-in allowance was stopped, housing and seed farming tools were provided, and five acres of land per person were provided. The preferential conditions such as exemption from agricultural taxes for the first three years, free education for children, and so on, had long been spread within the Qing Dynasty, especially in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, especially those families with relatives and friends in Nanyang. After getting the news. In particular, in Guangzhou and Fujian, which have a large number of people and few places, and have a tradition of immigration, nearly half of the people in these provinces have chosen to emigrate south!

In addition, Nanyang was not far from the southeast coast of the Qing Dynasty, so there were unprecedented immigrants in the entire Huojia Army, especially in the Nanyang area!

"Hehe, how hard the teacher has to work! This first five years is the time to really lay the foundation. It is very important for us Huo Jiajun, and we can establish a preliminary industrial foundation by surviving it. In addition, the choice of our immigrants is not only the Nanyang region, but also the vast area west of the Mississippi River in the United States, which has a vast area and many places suitable for agricultural development! Therefore, the Government Council can completely divert some of the immigrants there! In addition, because of the outbreak of war, many Americans are afraid of us and choose to take revenge because of the mistakes they committed against the Chinese in the past, so they have fled back to the eastern part of the United States, leaving behind a large amount of cultivated farmland and shelter, which can save us a lot of money! It's a win-win!" Huo Shan said with a smile.

After listening to his words, Huang Sheng was not as excited as he imagined, but asked with some concern: "Do you really want to immigrate to the western part of the United States? If this is the case, there is really no room for us to switch between us and the Americans, you have to think about it carefully!"

Immigration is a sensitive sideword, and once the Huo Jiajun really began to migrate to the Americas, it means that they have made up their minds to occupy the land there and include it in their own territory! In this way, the Americans who have lost their land will certainly not give up, and the two countries will become real hostile countries that will never die!

"Teacher, we have taken so many things from the Americans, and now we are at war with them, do you think the relationship between us and the Americans can be restored to the past?"

"I'm afraid I can't!" Huang Sheng said with some sighs.

"So, we just don't do anything and try to get back as much benefit as we can for ourselves, anyway, now the British want us to stay in the Americas, so that we and the Americans are hostile to each other. We simply did as they wished! Take most of the land west of the Mississippi River in the United States! No matter what the future holds, we will first take the benefits that belong to us now!" Saying this, Huo Shan paused, got up, took out a white document from the drawer on his desk, and put it on the table, "Now, the Americans have no spare time to take care of us in three or four months, or even half a year! No, maybe if we don't go to their trouble, these Americans will already burn high incense!"

"Is this all true?" Huang Sheng picked up the paper on the coffee table and looked at it a few times, then suddenly asked with a somewhat excited expression.

"Well! It's true, just yesterday Wu Guangzong led his American Military Region, which had completely annihilated a total of 250,000 soldiers of the westward advance troops organized by the United States with more than 3,000 casualties in the Battle of Pittsburgh, and according to statistics, less than 5,000 escaped. Huo Shan finally said.

"It's really great!" "Wu Guangzong's words have made a great contribution this time!" Huo Di and Huo Jiaguang said excitedly.

"Moreover, with the buffer time of these few months, at least 10 to 150,000 of the 400,000 troops that have just been formed in our rear will be able to reach the United States to support the Americas theater, and in half a year, all these 400,000 troops will also arrive! In this way, the number of our troops in the western United States, plus the black servant army, will reach an unprecedented 900,000! With our geographical superiority, as well as our superiority in weaponry, strategy, tactics, and soldiers' quality, we will not be afraid even if the Americans form an army of one million to attack us! ā€

"Young Master, does that mean that the lands of the western states of the United States that we already control can be officially incorporated into our hands to open provinces and cities!" Huo Wolf, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but ask! This is a major event that is directly related to the Huo Family's army to expand its territory and let them gain millions of square kilometers!

Even with Huang Sheng's decades of life experience, he can't help but have the ups and downs of the new trend at a moment!

"Hehe, that's right! Since we have made up our minds to occupy the western part of the United States and have put it into action, then we naturally want to bring this place under our rule as soon as possible, and use the resources and land here to serve the strength of our Huo family's army!" Huo Shan said this, and asked Huo Lei to take the map of the United States that he often used and spread it on the coffee table, before continuing: "According to our original plan, after this war, we will occupy the territory of Alaska, Washington State, and Oregon. California, Montana, Ioda, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, and a little north of Wisconsin!

"Xiaoshan, this is too much!" Huang Sheng said with some hesitation as he looked at the map. After all, now the entire Huo Family Army can only directly control ten provinces and two cities!

"Hehe, it's a bit much! Moreover, considering that these areas have been developed by the Americans for too short a time, the population is too small, and even most of the areas are in a state of wilderness, there is no need for us to divide so many territories and states like them, and we don't have too many qualified administrators now, so, according to my idea, we should merge these states in two!

"But even so, the number of provinces is quite large, so it is too cumbersome to name them one by one, so I used many of our ancient place names in China! First of all, look at Alaska, I call it Youzhou Province, and it is also the second most successful transaction made by the Americans (the first one, of course, Louisiana was obtained from the French)! 1,718,000 square kilometers of fertile and resource-rich land, perhaps in your impression, this is still a land of ice and snow, not suitable for human existence. However, I want to say that you are all wrong, not only is it not cold, but it is on the southern coast and in the southeast, under the influence of warm currents, the climate is mild and humid, the temperature difference is small, the precipitation is abundant, and the minimum temperature is only minus six or seven degrees Celsius every year! And there is also an abundance of oil, forests all over Alaska, abundant and diverse fishing grounds, etc., and of course, the most important thing here is a lot of gold!"

"Gold, you said Alaska, oh, by the way, Youzhou Province! There's a lot of gold here?" Huang Sheng, who had been troubled by the financial shortage recently, suddenly brightened an octave after hearing gold, and even his voice unconsciously improved a lot!

"Hehe, yes! Actually, these gold mines have been mined by the Huo family since two or three years ago!" The reason why Huo Shan said the gold mines in Alaska is because this place is about to be included in the official rule of the Huo Jiajun, and according to the rules formulated by Huo Shan himself, except for the Huo Jiajun, private individuals are not allowed to mine gold, silver and other precious metals! Therefore, he also does not want to break the rules under his top, so it is necessary to hand over these gold mines to the Government Council! Moreover, Huo Shan has also found a better alternative! )
