The Imperial Village of the Western Cape, the residence of the British delegation.

British Prime Minister William Pitt is hard at work.

“…… Your Majesty, the matter of peace talks has now been decided, but the United Kingdom is still facing a great crisis.

"I talk about these conditions, and although I am really helpless, I am no longer qualified to continue as prime minister.

"Investors in China are definitely angry, and they need an emotional outlet now.

"So please ask Your Majesty to remove me directly after the end of the Mozhou benefit distribution meeting.

"In the meantime, please Your Majesty must not raise taxes in the United States, must not.

"The situation in the United States is already on the verge of collapse, and the tax hike will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and then it will be a new big war.

"The United Kingdom can no longer afford a new war.

"Please appoint James Monroe, who was born in the United States, as Prime Minister and raise the status of the American region.

"Only in this way can the United Kingdom be prevented from falling back into war again.

"On this basis, I offer you my last political proposal, which is my most solemn and solemn.

"Please merge the United Kingdom with the United States of America to form the United Empire of Great Britain and the United States of America, and your Majesty shall ascend the throne as Emperor of your own accord.

"This is the only future I can see at the moment that is not the worst for the United Kingdom."

Pitt wrote this, was silent for a while, added some more details, and then handed it to the Prince of Wales, who was sitting opposite:

"Your Highness, please be sure to persuade Your Majesty not to raise taxes in the United States, otherwise...... I don't see ...... future."

The Prince of Wales watched the whole process of what Pitt wrote, and also listened to Pitt explain the reasoning, and then said very seriously:

"Prime Minister Pitt, you have really done your best for the United Kingdom, do you really have to be dismissed?"

Pete nodded seriously and said:

"Yes, there must be someone in charge of this peace talks, and this person can only be me.

"A few months ago, the Ming people deliberately took pictures of me, and the Prince of Dashi deliberately chatted with me, and I didn't find anything at the time.

"But then I read the newspaper that London brought back, and I was completely sure that Daming was 'killing' me

"You may be able to understand everything at the scene of the peace talks, but Your Majesty cannot see it.

"Your Majesty can only see the article carefully prepared by the Ming Dynasty, which portrays me as a person like Cromwell and Qin Hui.

"If nothing else, Your Majesty may have decided in his heart to remove me.

"It's just that the negotiations are not completely over, so no order was given.

"If we and you persuade Your Majesty from this angle, it may make Your Majesty rebellious.

"So I must be dismissed, and I ask Your Majesty to accept my proposal."

The Prince of Wales opened his mouth:

"Prime Minister Pitt, in the future, when I succeed to the throne, I will definitely appoint you as Prime Minister again.

"Even if my father doesn't accept your advice, I will do what you say.

"Merge Great Britain and the United States to form a new United Empire!"

Pete nodded slightly, then shook his head again and said:

"No, Your Majesty must be asked to do it as soon as possible, otherwise it may not be able to hold out in the future, Your Highness must persuade Your Majesty."

The Prince of Wales was stunned for a few seconds, and then nodded solemnly again:

"I ...... I understand. ”

The Prince of Wales and Pitt exchanged a few words of encouragement, and then, under Pitt's guidance, wrote a telegram to his father, George III.

At the same time, Zhu Jingyuan was also in his room, sitting at his desk writing and drawing.

Plan for the future, list the things that need attention, the things that need to be done as soon as possible, and give new orders to all aspects.

After the end of the world war, the most urgent thing was the counterinsurgency or suppression of bandits in Nanyinzhou.

Those members of the separatist forces, Zhu Jingyuan can give them a chance to be the dog of the Ming Dynasty.

In some designated areas of Southern Yinzhou, a small vassal with the rank of earl was feuded.

Otherwise, it is time to release the Yin people who have been preparing for half a year.

Let the Yin people take the weapons and supplies given by the Ming Dynasty, and use the tactics of the Ming Dynasty to deal with the Taixi Liukou.

At the same time, the entire Ming Dynasty will enter a state of great construction and development.

Zhu Jingyuan should do a good job in guiding the direction of these constructions in advance, as well as restricting them in terms of rules, so as to avoid major problems.

The imperial court, the imperial village, and the royal family consortium should become the core of development and construction, and play a guiding and promoting role.

A lot of really big projects can only and have to be done by them.

For example, the construction of a large railway across North Yinzhou, connecting the east coast and west coast of North Yinzhou, and connecting the Great Lakes with the Yazhou region (Seattle and Vancouver).

The historical eastern region of the United States is not now the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so the first east-west railroad built should not copy the Pacific Railroad located in the middle of the United States historically.

Instead, it should be located near the U.S.-Canada border, which is the route of the Great Northern Railroad.

In the middle of this railway, a north-south longitudinal railway extending south to the Gulf of Mexico was added.

In the territory of Northern Yinzhou in the Ming Dynasty, a T-shaped railway trunk line was formed.

The specific route needs to be confirmed by engineering personnel on site.

Then there was the construction of canals and locks connecting the Honey River, the Great Lakes, and the St. Lawrence River, forming a network of waterways within the continent.

Then explore the geological environment of the Panama region in preparation for the construction of the Panama Canal, which connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Ming Ocean, and may be called the Yinzhou Canal directly in the future.

The location can be referenced from the historical Panama Canal, but the way it was built is not necessary.

The Americans built the Panama Canal with the shortest construction time and the lowest cost, rather than the most effective.

The details will have to wait for the acceptance of the Panamanian region to be completed, the suppression of bandits will be completed, and the detailed exploration results will be available, and then we will discuss them in detail.

At the same time, the expansion of the Xihai Canal required a ship capable of navigating 80,000 tons, and the capital ships of the Ming Dynasty must sail directly to the Great Qin Sea.

Then there should be a development plan for the Great Plains of Yinzhou.

It is now a paradise for Yinzhou bison, and Zhu Jingyuan is not ready to exterminate these creatures.

Zhu Jingyuan is also not ready to develop the entire Great Plains.

In later generations, the Yinzhou Great Plain in a broad sense included millions of square kilometers on both sides of the Mihe River.

But the Great Plains in a narrow sense are actually the plateaus and higher plains at the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

Including Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas West in the United States.

The terrain of this area is relatively high, at least more than 354 meters above sea level, more than 100 meters higher than North China, and the western part is directly a plateau.

Annual precipitation is relatively low, between 300 and 700 mm.

Originally, it was a semi-arid and semi-humid "high-grass grassland", similar to the best grassland in eastern Inner Mongolia where the grass grows and can submerge cattle and sheep.

Most of the land here is fertile black soil, and Americans like to pump groundwater to grow wheat in this place, but it turns out to be a bit desertified.

Zhu Jingyuan is not ready to touch these grasslands, and is ready to let them continue to be the homeland of bison, as well as reserve farmland for the next hundred years.

Let the people of the Ming Dynasty first go north along the west bank of the Mihe River and cultivate land in the humid areas with annual precipitation of about 1,000 millimeters.

These areas of development could be distinguished from the British and French colonies on the other side of the river, forming the de facto boundaries of settlement and occupation.

The final focus is on the development of the South Yin Chau rainforest......

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Zhu Jingyuan changed the development of the rainforest to management.

The role of the Nanyinzhou rainforest, also known as the Amazon rainforest, on the earth's biosphere is actually not as important as many marketing accounts.

What produces 20% of the world's oxygen content is impossible just by calculating the efficiency of photosynthesis and the oxygen content of the earth.

Most of the earth's oxygen was formed in the early days, and the ecology of most modern regions is self-balancing.

The ecology of the entire rainforest itself is also balanced, and the oxygen produced by the plants is basically gone after the animals in the rainforest have finished breathing.

But rainforests remain the largest biobank on the planet.

More importantly, its impact on the local climate of South Yinzhou is huge.

And Nanyinzhou is the private place of the Ming royal family, and the final retreat, it is best not to destroy it.

At the same time, tropical rainforests are actually "green deserts", and the nutrients of the entire system are stored in the bodies of plants.

The unprecedented amount of runoff in the Yajiang River has taken away the only nutrients left in the soil, resulting in a very poor land under the rainforest.

It is basically impossible to restore the rainforest after cutting it down, and it is very uneconomical to grow food, so it is far better to go to the black soil of the Yinzhou Great Plains in the north and south to farm.

Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan finally demanded that the rainforest of Nanyinzhou be listed as a royal asset, and that no one should be allowed to develop and cut it down on their own.

These ideas are still only general directions and ideas.

The specific details of the relevant projects will be discussed directly again after the development node arrives.

The next morning, Suzhou Mansion, attached to Wu County, Guo County, official Yahang Square.

These days, fewer and fewer workers are coming to find jobs, but there are more and more owners, shopkeepers, and managers who are recruiting workers.

This afternoon, the officials of the dental store came out again and posted a special large-format announcement in the most conspicuous place on the notice board.

A few managers who were drinking tea around saw the piece of paper and subconsciously exclaimed:

"That's a rhubarb post, it's the Huangzhuang that wants to recruit people!"

"It's been so many years, and Huangzhuang is going to recruit people again!"

"Haven't you read the newspapers of the past two days, it must be that the Yinzhou Great Plain is going to open up wasteland!"

"It's hard to recruit workers these days, and Huangzhuang still comes to rob people, and he doesn't let people live......"

"Hypocrisy, if you really can't live, you're still here to recruit workers?"

"You can definitely live, but the question is how to live."

Whether it's the workers picking jobs, or the managers and proprietors hanging around, they can't help but move forward now.

They looked at the details of Huangzhuang's recruitment, and then quickly began to discuss it in a mess.

"Oops...... What does it mean to be 'fertile fields are like the Central Plains, and the wind and rain are as smooth as the south of the Yangtze River'? ”

"Turn our Jiangnan into the Great Plains of the Central Plains? Is there such a place in the world? ”

"I heard that this is the case with Xintianfu, otherwise why is it called Xintianfu, which is the reserved place of our Ming Imperial Family."

"Thirty percent of the Huangzhuang dividends go to Your Majesty, thirty percent is used for business construction, and four percent are given to all managers and guys, which is too generous......"

"This is the previous profit sharing standard of the New Heavenly Mansion, in the past few years, other feudal states have been self-reliant, but the New Heavenly Mansion is as immobile as a mountain, concentrating on expanding the territory."

"I want to drag my family to go, and the workers in the factory have to run a few more, and the owner doesn't know what to worry about......"

"It's useless to worry, you still have to add money, if you don't add money, you won't be able to recruit people a long time ago."

"It seems that the minimum labor remuneration of the imperial court is still set low."

"I've decided, I can't linger, I'm going to Yinzhou!"

If Zhu Jingyuan read this announcement, he would definitely make people hurry back and change it.

Because many descriptions copy the situation of the South Yinzhou Plain.

There is a big difference between the Great Plain of North Yinzhou and South Yinzhou, and there is no mountain range in the middle of it.

"North-south transparency", "floor-to-ceiling windows", "no glass".

Cold snaps in the Arctic can go all the way to the Gulf of Mexico, and warm currents in the Gulf of Mexico can reach northern Canada.

Usually when the weather is stable, it is okay, the summer is not as hot as East Asia, the winter is not so cold, and if you are lucky, it may not freeze.

But once the currents get violent, they often produce jaw-dropping weather changes.

For example, in just 20 minutes, the temperature rises by 20 degrees, or it suddenly drops by 20 degrees in a few minutes.

Dropping 30 degrees in one day is not an exception, yesterday you wore short sleeves and today you may wear a down jacket, and in May or June it may suddenly snow.

According to the Guinness Book of Records, Montana once dropped from seven degrees Celsius to minus forty-nine degrees Celsius in 24 hours, with a daily temperature difference of 56 degrees.

Before the Industrial Age, this cold wave could destroy a civilization and freeze all food and livestock to death.

Therefore, the natives of Yinzhou mainly live behind the mountains on the east and west sides, and the Great Plains are basically no man's land.

After the immigrants of the Ming Dynasty went to Beiyinzhou, they would soon be frightened by this kind of weather.

At the same time, above the restaurant next to the tooth shop, another group of people were gathering together to eat, drink and chat.

Most of them were richly dressed and well-built, most of them were over forty years old, and there were a few old people with white beards.

They are the more powerful "owners" in Suzhou.

After the Renwu Dynasty, the Ming court became strict with the officials of the officials, and completely prohibited the behavior of the wealthy people to "buy official bodies".

The bureaucratic term "outside the staff" has gradually been eliminated.

The richest people in the people have also changed from landlords who own a large amount of land to "owners" who control a large amount of factory share capital.

Therefore, the "owner" slowly replaced the "outsider" and became the name of the wealthy people.

They also like to call each other Li Dongjia and Wang Dongjia, just as later generations like to call Li Dong and Wang Dong.

These big proprietors will not go down by themselves to squeeze to read the notices, and some family members will help them run errands to copy.

But these people are also concerned about the recent important trends in the imperial court and the market, so they meet in the restaurant next to the tooth shop every once in a while.

Eating and drinking is not a serious matter, the key is to exchange their own news and observe the direction of the wind in the nearest dental industry.

In a short time, several servants trotted upstairs, handed in the copied notice, and reported the situation in the square.

After listening, some of the proprietors fell into deep thought, some smiled, and then quickly began to discuss.

"It's a good time, I'm old, but you need to catch it."

"I drew it on the domain map, and now the entire Yinzhou is basically our Ming Dynasty, and the development investment of the imperial court must last for at least twenty years."

"The natural forests on both sides of the Yajiang River in Nanyinzhou are larger than the entire Central Plains and Jiangnan combined, and I estimate that they will not be cut in a hundred years."

"Since Huangzhuang has started, then we have to follow up quickly, I am going to go to North Yinzhou to open a farm tool factory and a machinery factory."

"Our family will continue to build ships, and we will always need ships, bigger and bigger, more and more ships."

"Have you found that the Honey River, the Great Lakes, and the Lensi River in North Yinzhou can be connected with only a few small canal projects."

"Yes, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean, plus around Yinzhou and the Great Lakes, a lot of land is connected by waterways."

"So inland waterway ships have a lot to offer?"

"You reminded me, I'll start the production line when I go back......"

"Has anyone considered building a Yinzhou Canal in Panama?"

"There must be, and there are a lot of them, but it must be Huangzhuang's industry, and we can't get involved in the people, and we don't have the ability to ......"

"We just need to think about the impact of the canal on our own property."

"And it's hard to recruit workers now."

"It's simple, either add money to the workers and make the small factory unable to keep up, or simply buy a small factory in the same industry.

"Let those small factories disappear, and we will have workers."

"Don't be reluctant to put down the capital, the next few years or even more than ten years will be a good time to make money lying down."

"I can't bear to be a melon and a jujube now, and you will regret it for half a lifetime in the future."

"Yes, not at this time, when will it be!"
