The next day, Qin Yuncong held the first court meeting after the gale in the Liang Palace.

Officials of Qiongzhou Prefecture, generals of naval divisions, heads of arsenals, and coastal defense battalions attended this extraordinary court meeting.

Wang Muzhi stepped forward and kicked off the prelude.

"Your Highness, now the people in Qiongzhou are aspiring, and I ask Your Highness to choose an auspicious day to open the country."

"Your Highness, please open the country!"

Looking at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces in front of him, Qin Yun also knew what they meant, but the founding of the country was too hasty, and he still had that "infamy" on his head now.

If you don't catch Qin Shan, and don't let the people of the world figure out the truth, I'm afraid that the people of the world will still think that he Qin Yun is in a hurry to rebel.

Qin Yun waved his hand: "This matter is not in a hurry, wait until you catch Qin Shan!" ”

"By the way, Wang Muzhi, how is the disaster situation on the island?"

Wang Muzhi arched his hand: "Back to the prince, the wind blows every year, and the islanders are used to it, but the prince sent people to help them resume production, and the people all sang praises to the prince, and said that they would make an umbrella for the people." ”

Qin Yun said with a smile: "Their intentions are the king's territory, but there is no need, tell them to resume production as soon as possible and build their homes, and my Qiongzhou will one day be as prosperous as the south of the Yangtze River." ”

"No, far better!"

The ministers also smiled, if someone said before that Qiongzhou, a poor and remote country, would one day be paved with a clean and tidy stone road; It will open up the rice canal that resonates and returns to the intestines and has nine twists and turns; It will make the people no longer rely on the time of day to eat, so that everyone will have clothes to wear, a house to live in, will be politically clear, the officials will not bully the people, and the people will not bully the officials.

Every household has surplus food, and everyone has expectations.

Anyone who says such things will be laughed off.

However, under Qin Yun's drastic reforms, everyone has land to cultivate, and those who can't plow the field will also send professional agricultural experts to the field for guidance.

Not only that, but the government also issued new quyuan ploughs, seeds, cattle and horses......

Men plough the fields, women also have something to do, flour mills, instant noodle factories, textile factories, and handicraft workshops have sprung up all over Qiongzhou.

Agriculture and commerce are both grasped, and a thriving scene.

Of course, all of this is based on the input of external resources, first of all, Qin Yun wiped out most of the Qiongzhou gate valve families, and only retained some obedience.

A large amount of land was nationalized, coupled with the seizure of a large amount of silver taels and jewels from Haitang Island, which gave Qin Yun the capital to develop all this.

However, Qin Yun also knew that there would be a bottleneck in such rapid development after all, after all, Qiongzhou was just an island, and all resources had to be transported from the outside.

If it is in a safe corner, it will not be long before Qiongzhou will fall into a development dilemma.

Therefore, taking the Ryukyus is not only to catch Qin Shan and ask for the guilt, but also to consider the future development.

Qin Yun's gaze swept towards Lu Ban and Cast Iron Ridge.

"Two masters, when will the second ironclad ship be launched?"

Lu Ban said: "We combined the construction experience of the first ship, and the main structure of the second ship can be completed in half a month at most, and the steam engine is already developing subsequent models." ”

"Regarding what His Royal Highness said about laying railway tracks in various prefectures and counties in Qiongzhou to drive economic development, we have also sent people to investigate, and I believe that construction will start in the spring of next year."

Qin Yun said with a smile: "Very good, but we must also hurry up, the ironclad ship must continue to be built, don't be afraid of wasting manpower and material resources, we are not short of silver now, right?" ”

The ministers laughed.

Zhu Tieling stood up and said: "Lord Wang, the minister has applied for special research funds to improve the Flying Eagle of the organ, if the steam engine can be put on the Flying Eagle, wouldn't it be able to cross the mountains and seas and hit the enemy's sky for bombing and bombing?" ”

Qin Yun was stunned, good guy, who said that the ancients were stupid?

People even think about bombers, after all, the last time only a few Flying Eagles achieved very good results, and anyone who saw it liked to condescendingly drop bombs.

But Qin Yun also knew that the steam engine burned coal, and there was enough coal on the sea and land to support the long journey, and the steam engine-powered aircraft could be persuaded to retreat just by the thrust-to-weight ratio.

But to develop gas engines or turboramjet engines with current technology, it goes without saying that it is a fool's dream.

Qin Yun shook his head: "The steam engine goes to the sky, this road doesn't work, after all, it's not a simple pile of values." ”

"I've got an easy idea, you go study the airship, or start with a hot air balloon."

"Hot air balloons?"

Everyone was stunned, but Zhu Tieling thought of something, Qin Yun had made a small demonstration in front of him that day, and his eyes lit up, as if he had a direction to struggle.

"Lord Wang, the old man understands!"

Qin Yun also mentioned in a timely manner: "I remember that there was a swamp with bubbles all year round on the back cliff of our rubber tapping, which ignited immediately in case of thunder and fire, right?" ”

Cast Iron Ridge nodded.

Qin Yun: "That's natural gas, find a way to collect it and compress it into an iron can, which can be used as fuel for hot air balloons." ”

"And the development of natural gas can also be used as our daily fire and cooking, so as not to make this Qiongzhou city smoky all day long."

"For this item, this king has specially approved five million taels to you, hoping to complete the development of natural gas and hot air balloons as soon as possible."

Cast Tieling was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”

Qin Yun looked at Wang Muzhi again: "Where are you going to get the money for the construction of the railway?" ”

Wang Muzhi said with a smile: "It's still the old way, it was a royal bond before, but this time it will be replaced by a railway bond, and the interest will be repaid with the operating income of the iron wheel." ”

Qin Yun smiled and nodded: "Lord Wang seems to have already gone to the road, this matter, just do it, but this time set up the Bank of Communications, issue bonds in the name of the bank, and issue him 50 million taels first!" ”

"Banks?"

Qin Yundao: "It is the meaning of the money bank, but it is different from the ordinary money bank, the bank provides loans and savings business, the savings do not need to be kept by the custody fee, there is a certain amount of interest, the government is guaranteed, and the ticket can be exchanged for silver taels in the bank." ”

"You can also issue a certificate of delivery."

Wang Muzhi's eyes lit up: "Lord Wang's method is good, but those money houses can't be opened!" ”

Qin Yunzheng said: "If you can't open it, let them become shareholders in the bank, the government will have seventy percent, and they will have thirty percent, and let them directly become bank tellers, so as not to make you look for candidates again." ”

Wang Muzhi said: "No, prince! It's just that no one buys the bonds that issued so much money, and the big households in Qiongzhou have no money left! ”

Qin Yun said: "You haven't seen the gathering of merchants from all walks of life in the past few days, you have to understand that the merchants' sense of smell is the keenest, as long as we march all the way, they will naturally vote with their feet." ”

Wang Muzhi suddenly realized: "The minister understands! ”

Qin Yun squinted: "Okay, Bai Zhanpeng, Liu Yulan, you two can't slack off, the army quota of 30,000 people in Qiongzhou must be filled as soon as possible, and the combat effectiveness must be formed in a short time." ”

"When the second ironclad ship and its attached modified ship are launched, it will be the day when our troops will send to the Ryukyus!"

"Everyone, let's work together to create a new world!"

"No!"

"Scatter!"

Qin Yun got up, and everyone bowed down to worship.

"Congratulations to my king!"

Before leaving, Qin Yun glanced at Zheng Jing, who followed him to the back house very interestingly.

In front of the door of the house, Zheng He arched his hand: "Lord Wang! ”

Qin Yun smiled: "Do you know what this king is looking for you?" ”

"I don't know!"

Qin Yun said: "This king wants you to go to the South Seas!" ”

Zheng Jing was stunned: "Lord Wang, at this moment, Qiongzhou is in ruins, why do you want to go to Nanyang?" ”

"It's not just you, Zhou Qianyu."

At this time, Zhou Qianyu bowed over: "I've seen Lord Zheng, I've seen Lord Wang." ”

"Excuse me!"

Zheng Jing looked at this former pirate, now Qin Yun's brother-in-law, and he began to muttered in his heart.

Qin Yun got straight to the point and said: "The Luzon Islands are the intersection of the eastern and western shipping routes, and now the Hongyi people are doing maritime trade in Luzon along the coast of Borneo. ”

"This king wants you to follow Zhou Qianyu to the South Seas first, and find out the strength of the Hongyi people and even the Hongyi countries."

Zheng Jing suddenly said: "Is the prince worried that a group of blonde and blue-eyed red-haired devils will invade Great Xia?" ”

Qin Yun squinted: "This group of people is the same as that Fusang, they have to be guarded against." ”

"Zhou Qianyu."

"The minister is here."

Qin Yun Zhengse said: "Assist Lord Zheng well, and you will be the lord of Luzon Zhou in the future!" ”

Zhou Qianyu bowed his head: "Your Highness Xie!" ”

"Get up, Zheng Jing, you remember, this time I went to Nanyang, first, to make friends and unite all friendly countries and tribes that can trade with my Qiongzhou, and second, to promote my prestige in Great Xia, this king will send three big ships and a battalion of sailors and officers and soldiers to go with you."

"Of course, the most important thing is to record the local cultural landforms!"

Zheng Jing nodded: "Lord Wang, the minister remembers!" ”

Qin Yun waved his hand: "This king hopes that the HNA of this era will be created by you." ”

Zheng Jing's blood was boiling, and he saw that the distant other side of the ocean was beckoning to him.
