The distance from the Bari region to the Multan region, which is later the northern region of Pakistan, is less than a thousand miles in a straight line.

If you start from Champong, Cochin Province, and pass through the sea route, you need to bypass the old port of Xuanwei Division, pass through the Strait of Malacca, and reach the Sindh area on the southern coast for more than 10,000 miles.

The most economically active area in Northern Tianzhu, the Multan Governor's Mansion, where Renli's residence is located.

More and more houses are being built.

The cement factories and timber factories operated by the Daming Industry Bureau, as well as the foundries and ironworks from Samarkand and other bulk goods, became the main supply area of local building materials.

Because of the frequent trade of goods, the obstacles to transportation have become the biggest problem.

The railway project plan for the construction of the Samarkand to Multan region was first proposed by the Ministry of Railway Engineering, and was supported by the Daming Industry Bureau and approved by the Governor Renli.

Riding in a horse-drawn carriage, Governor Renli arrived in Lahore under the protection of the guards.

The plains of the northwest region of the former Delhi Sultanate became an area managed by the Ming Dynasty, with rich agricultural resources, which made up for the shortcomings of the seven western provinces and completed the closure of the economic and trade system.

The water conservancy system, irrigation system, and even high-yielding crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, which had been built over the years, were finally opened up by the imperial court and began to be cultivated in large quantities in the seven western provinces, as well as in the Balihei region.

The recovery of agriculture has brought about food stability, grain growth, and local stability.

Unconsciously, the unstable area of Balihei gradually became peaceful, and the solution of the "powder keg" ensured the governance of the Ming Dynasty in the entire west, relying on the domestic economic foundation, laying a larger trade system, and also making the seven western provinces, as well as the five provinces of Tianzhu such as Lahore, Balihe, and Multan rich.

Although these originally prosperous areas did not restore the trade routes of the West and relied on the prosperity of the traditional Silk Road, they embarked on another road of prosperity because of the production system of the Ming Dynasty.

But in this process, there are more and more Ming people, more and more Ming people live on the land, and even schools, Taoist temples, Buddhist temples, and officially designated languages, etc., which invisibly change the environment.

The Spring Festival couplets at the door are written in big Chinese characters, which have been exposed to the wind and sun and have become white.

Tu houses and stone houses still account for a lot, but there are many more cement and steel buildings, as well as three-way tile houses, and the Ming garden-style architectural style gradually flourished.

The number of people dressed in medium uniforms, racers, long shirts, or short coats increased, and many people met acquaintances on the road saluting each other, and the conversation was full of peace.

The premise of the ceremony is food and clothing.

Only when you have eaten enough will a higher level of foundation be born.

The arrival of a large number of Ming people not only brought prosperity, but also brought civilization, these prosperous festivals, became the behavior sought after by the locals, and the local upper class learned etiquette.

The road is not as wide as in the country, it is only a little rammed and paved with a layer of broken stones.

Ren Li's carriage uses domestic rubber tires, which is more comfortable to ride, because of stability, and prolongs the life of the carriage, which is not as easy to damage as before, and adds more functions.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and through the glass window, Ren Li looked at the city of Lahore, comparing the difference between the city of Multan and this place.

Multan is more developed in commerce, so it is more lively than here, but as the administrative center of the five northern provinces of Tianzhu, Lahore City is more solemn and atmospheric, and some facilities are cost-free.

People no longer wrapped cloth towels around their heads, and began to wear hats, especially brown hats, which have been popular in China for many years.

The Ming people like to match jade on their bodies, which is not only popular in Goryeo and Daying Island, but also in Nanyang, and the seven western provinces and Tianzhu can not be avoided, which in turn leads to the jade of the Burmese Xuanwei Division to sell well.

"The exchange of agricultural goods for industrial goods cannot be sustained."

Ren Li lowered the curtain and sat back.

Although he is a martial artist, Ren Li did not let go of his studies, understood some economic truths, and knew that the development of Lahore, including Multan, had fallen into a bottleneck.

Although there is still room for qualitative change, it cannot be changed.

This was also the purpose of his personal visit to the Doge's Palace.

His Majesty the King of the County was also there, Zhu Neng greeted Ren Li, and after a brief greeting, the rest of the general soldiers, as well as the local governors or political secretaries, also arrived.

Zhu Neng is the most powerful military attache in the Ming Dynasty at the moment.

Some areas in the north of Tianzhu implement the three-division system, and some implement the capital division system, and the governor should be a civil official, and Zhu Neng is the only one, which shows his trust in the emperor's heart.

Zhu Neng, who is more than 60 years old, has been running from north to south and from east to west all his life because of his perennial travel, and he looks older than ordinary old people, but it does not affect Zhu Neng's prestige.

"The bottom line of the imperial court is that the border areas are not allowed to develop industry, and can only become a supplement to the economic cycle of the mainland, so the focus is on whether Samarkand is now considered to be the mainland?"

An official threw out his plan.

Hearing this, many people's eyes lit up, and when they think about it from a different angle, many things are easily solved.

Thirty years ago, Samarkand was undoubtedly a frontier.

In the same way, even the province of Cochin is a frontier land.

But now, what about it.

Samarkand should no longer be regarded as a border land, not only has it been changed to a three-division system, including the development of Samarkand, but it should also be governed according to the model of the hinterland, which is in line with local needs.

"Although it is talking about the future of Tianzhu North, the Tianzhu North region is inseparable from the supply and replenishment of the seven western provinces, so it is in the long-term interests of the Tianzhu North region to support the industrial development of the Samarkand region to the imperial court."

Ren Li nodded and said.

The Bari region has not been successfully conquered for many years, is there any difference between the people of the Bari region?

Not.

In Ren Li's opinion, it's just that the locals are too poor.

Bonitus and Luzon were different from those overseas lands, and the natives in those places were very backward, not only did they use outdated weapons, but they also had no horses and no armor.

A soldier with armor is not the same thing as a soldier without armor.

Having a horse and not having a horse are two different things.

In later generations, the Philippines and Australia did not have horses.

It is everyone who understands the meaning of the horse, not only in the economic aspects of production, but also in the military.

This was the main reason why the Spaniards, who had horses and armor, were able to kill their emperor in front of the outnumbered but unarmed natives.

Equally.

The Ming Dynasty's governance in Luzon and Boni, including the islands, was generally relaxed.

The natives don't have horses, and without horses they are slow to spread their information.

Militarily even more backward, they are passively beaten, they do not have armor, an armored cavalry on horseback, can rampage in the indigenous tribes, killing in and out.

Not to mention the long-range weapons of the Ming army, such as artillery and guns.

But the Barihei region is different, although the economy of the Balihei region is backward, but the people's knowledge is still there, since ancient times, horse breeding is the tradition of the Balihei region, the culture passed down from generation to generation.

Of course, Ren Li doesn't know about America.

The environment of the Americas, the endless plains, the role of the horse is more powerful, and the same effect is tenfold superior to the islands outside the South Sea. There are no horses in such a fertile region, a civilization destined to be conquered by outsiders.

However, Ren Li saw the important role of economic development.

The Barihei region, which no one can conquer, has become peaceful because of the economic improvement, which will play a vital role in the management of the Ming Dynasty in the huge area.

As long as the Balihei region remains stable, then the seven western provinces and Northern Tianzhu can maintain unity and stable development, and after many years, they can become an inseparable land of the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, the seven western provinces could not trade with Tianzhu North, and each needed to claim it, forming its own development appearance, coupled with the instability of the Bali Black region, which was not conducive to the management and rule of the Ming Dynasty in the long run.

Then the most important means at present is to develop a preliminary industry in Samarkand, so that Lahore and Multan and other regions can obtain the energy and cheap industrial products they need, and stimulate economic development.

Samarkand can obtain agricultural and industrial products from the north of Tianzhu, and there are railways in the hinterland, so it can obtain cheap materials from the hinterland, and it is necessary to break through the transportation barriers to trade, and it is necessary to build railways and develop Samarkand's industry.

Zhu Zhanyong has been in Tianzhu for many years.

Zhu Zhanyong, who is nearly 30 years old, also gave birth to several children in the local area, and years of military and local governance have made him more aware of some of the knowledge he learned when he was a teenager, and he also understood some of the truths that his father said to him.

Development is the last word.

Soon after.

Zhu Zhanyong embarked on the road back to the capital, with the stability of the Tianzhu region, he no longer had a reason to stay there, from the heart, he was not willing to return to Beijing.

Only in the frontier is he free.

But he had to go back.

brought his concubines and children, as well as his own personal guards, and some civil and military officials to start the long road back to Beijing.

The huge team finally returned to Samarkand, began to take the train, and finally arrived at Jiayuguan, where the eldest was only five years old, looking at the bustling city and the buildings that were very different from the seven western provinces, shouting excitedly.

"Jingle bells."

Steam engine factory.

The first steam engine factory in Daxing District, Beiping, is more than ten times larger than the original scale, with high-rise buildings built one after another, as well as countless chimneys, and under the gray sky, it is the largest industrial base in the north.

After the factory closes, a "bicycle flow" is formed at the factory gate.

Workers with comfortable comfort and high living standards have become the largest consumer class, and any new goods that appear on the market will inevitably appear first in the shops of Beijing, Shanghai, Beiping, Jiangsu, Guangzhou, Wuchang and other places.

When these places became widespread, new products began to spread to the rest of the region.

From the advent of bicycles to the popularization of bicycles, the maturity of technology has developed very rapidly, especially the large procurement in the military, and the procurement of the navy in the Nanyang base is the largest, which has greatly stimulated the prosperity of the bicycle industry.

Although the production base of the rubber industry is mainly in Nanyang, a factory that can produce bicycles, Daxing District is not weaker than others in technology, and soon has its own business name, Nanyang produces its own small cars, and Daxing District produces bicycles that pay attention to large.

"Jingle bells."

Workers rode on bicycles and rang bells, both as a reminder to passers-by and as a disguised showman.

Bicycles, sewing machines, pocket watches.

Every worker's family must have these three things in the house if they want to marry a daughter-in-law.

The original bedding and pots and pans have been replaced.

"Each worker works four hours a day, and the factory has its own school to ensure the education of the workers' children, to train new talents, and to ensure the foundation of social development."

"The factory will build a special dormitory to ensure the most basic housing needs of the workers, and the food stamp bank will give the workers low-interest loans so that the workers in need can build their own houses or buy the houses they want."

"The factory will regularly hold a monthly exchange and friendship meeting between workers and men to provide protection for the marriage of workers, as well as Keju competitions, bamboo ball competitions, equestrian competitions and so on."

"A factory activity is organized every year, and various departments go to the mountains and rivers, and the fare is reimbursed by the factory."

In front of the glass window on the seventh floor of the headquarters building of the steam engine factory, people surrounded the prince, and a shopkeeper excitedly introduced, "People-oriented, the world is the same, it has always been the concept of the Daming Industry Bureau, to ensure that everyone lives and works in peace and contentment." ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded with satisfaction.

The happy smiles on the faces of the workers cannot be faked.

Unlike other places, the steam engine factory not only ensured production, but also established rules, and with rules, people knew what they should and should not do.

The big shopkeeper of the factory in front of him was chosen by the workers themselves.

In addition to competition for jobs, the chief treasurer must find a balance between the satisfaction of the workers and the long-term development of the factory, and the workers must also take responsibility for their own choices, otherwise the factory will close and they will be unemployed.

Last year, the Daming Bureau of Industry failed in the rubber industry, although the economic losses were huge, the most uncomfortable thing was the resettlement of workers, and the Daming Bureau spent several times its efforts to completely resettle a large number of industrial workers.

"The family gives people enough, the country is strong and the people are safe, which is the foundation of the eternal prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the last wish of the emperor's grandfather."

Zhu Zhanji said to everyone.

Han Qi and the others remained quiet, and only Zhu Zhanji's words were in the entire hall.

"A strong state is able to protect its territory and its people from external aggression and threats, while at the same time providing better social harmony and creating better living conditions for its people."

"The stability of the people is the foundation of the country's social stability and development, and only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can the country have long-term peace and stability."

"Whoa."

Han Qi and the others took the lead in applauding, and soon the applause rang out.

Zhu Zhanji was very satisfied with the Daming Industry Bureau.

The workers are very stable, this is a huge force, the power of the working class, as his father said, is the heart of the people in the industrial age, Zhu Zhanji, who remembers his father's words, values the workers the most.

Zhu Zhanji attaches more importance to the role of the Daming Industry Bureau.

In the role played by the Daming Industrial Bureau, the workers are indeed very happy, and the happy workers bring social tranquility, and the peaceful society is the basis for the long-term prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
