Chapter 351: A Thousand Miles Back
Xia Lei, who was depressed, began to plan the migration of the population, and such a large number of population migrations naturally could not be carried out in the imperial capital. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Now the tulips have reached a population peak, according to the statistics of the previous year, the population of the principality is about 11.6 million, and in two years, the population of the tulip principality is now conservatively estimated at 12 million.
A large amount of land was concentrated in the hands of the aristocracy, and the people living at the bottom were actually miserable, and this population diversion was a good thing for Tulip's rule in the long run.
Xia Ke's method was very simple, after learning that the Coyote Federation as a whole was accepted into the World Pearl by Sun Gang, he discussed a plan with Marco to hide from the world.
Ku Tong and the others came out of the world beads, each restored to the dress of a warrior, the leader Ku Tong rode the most noble white camel in the desert, and a tributary procession of five hundred people appeared outside the city of Shengye, the capital of tulips.
The sudden appearance of the team frightened the newly appointed town guard, and after the heavily armed army surrounded the tents of Kutong and others, it was discovered that the other party was in the tributary team.
As a representative of the Coyote Federation, Ku Tong expressed his submission to the great tulip king Xia Lei, and used the most humble words to show that the Coyote Federation was willing to give up his position and become a tulip rule.
Such news exploded in the court on the same day, as if a scoop of cold water was added to the boiling oil, and the entire court was a sensation.
Compared with the neighboring Principality of Violet, the lack of access to the sea has always been a shortcoming of the Principality of Tulip.
There are only two ways for the tulip goods to be exported to the Duchy of Blue and the Duchy of the Golden Lion on the other side of the sea, one is through the transshipment of the Duchy of Violet, and the other is through the trade route opened by the Coyote Federation Sa'e, all the way to Antelope Bay, where it is loaded onto cargo ships.
No matter which of these two trade routes, they are all golden roads paved with gold coins, and if the Coyote Federation is incorporated into the territory of Tulip, it will not only gain a vast coastline, you know, the area occupied by the Coyote Federation alone is at least half the size of the Tulip Principality.
After seeing the territory of the Coyote Federation presented by Kutong, the atmosphere above the court reached the highest point, and in the eyes of the ministers of the court, the entire Coyote Federation could establish at least three cities along the way, and three to five ports could be established by the sea.
The reason why the Coyote Federation came thousands of miles to return to submission was because the leader of the other party was inspired by the Prince Protector, and the Prince of Protector sent his closest subordinates to talk to the leader of the coyote.
Under the inspiration of the Prince Protectorate, Lord Cook, the current leader of the Coyote Federation, agreed to surrender to the Duchy of Tulips and give up his rights.
As a representative of the Coyote Federation, Ku Tong vaguely expressed that the current leader was once a resident of the Tulip Principality, and the leader was old and hoped to return to Tulip's imperial capital to retire.
Of course, the additional condition is to grant a large territory near the imperial capital, and as for the various costs of territorial construction, the principality needs to bear it.
Naturally, this was fully agreed by all the ministers present to ask for a piece of territory? It is not for nothing that the land close to the city of Saint-Jesus is squeezed, and a squeeze will always satisfy the other party.
The other party had already listed the expenses needed to build the territory, and when the Chancellor of the Exchequer happily took the long letter in the other party's hand, he only saw half of it, and the smile on his face had already solidified on his face.
Without him, the other party is asking for too many gold coins, such a large number of gold coins is enough to build a small town, is the other party planning to build a castle on his future territory?
The Chancellor's wandering was soon shattered by another bombshell thrown by the other party, because the leader of the Coyote Federation said that in order to show that the Coyote Federation was completely subservient to the Tulip Principality, the Coyote Federation was willing to give up its force and let Tulip's troops settle in.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer had not yet woken up from his vertigo, and the messenger of the other side dropped a third bomb, and the other party actually diverted the Orange River, and built a new large oasis in the desert, and Tulips could not only send their own troops to manage it, but also move at least 100,000 people to Tulips.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party had a complete guard of honor, territory, and a full 500 samurai, even the Chancellor of the Exchequer thought he had met a liar.
Giving up his army and giving up the newly established oasis, is there such a thing in the world?
You know, as long as Tulip's army and migrating subjects settle in the Coyote Federation, the Chancellor of the Exchequer believes that in a few decades, it will become Tulip land completely.
After the identity of the other side was determined, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Minister of Home Affairs became the staunchest supporters of this plan, and if it were to occupy such a vast area of land, it would cost at least ten times as much money as the other side demanded, and it would be worth it even to empty the treasury.
The previous war of the Prince of Protector against the Black Dragon Isthmus had already aroused opposition among the courtiers, and now he quietly let the Coyote Federation bow down to the vassals, so that the dazzling rhythm of the east and west even made some ministers wonder, could it be that the prince's expedition to the Black Dragon Isthmus also has some deep meaning?
The entry of the Coyote Federation, such an achievement already belongs to the expansion of the territory, and the ministers below are secretly sighing Xia Lei's good luck, this is simply a piece of land that has fallen from the world, and the return of the Coyote Federation for thousands of miles, does it indicate the prosperity of the principality?
By the time the Chancellor of the Exchequer had paid the full amount of the gold coins, Tulip's army of 5,000 men had entered the desert of Namib under the leadership of the emissary.
After getting the required gold coins, outside the city of Saint-Yees, Kutong and the others launched a frantic purchase plan, and according to the list of materials listed by Marco, the gold coins were spent like water.
All of a sudden, the major merchants in the city of Shengye were operational, and countless supplies and livestock were transported outside the city, and Sun Gang collected them into the world pearls.
At the same time, the relocation plan arranged by the Minister of Home Affairs was also in full swing, and according to the resolution made by the court, the method adopted for the construction of cities in the depths of the desert was to carry out the first round of construction by the army, and then the migration of the population.
This time the migration of the population is divided into two steps, the first step is to adopt the principle of nearby migration, the population into the desert is transferred from the towns close to the desert, so that you can quickly get familiar with the environment in the desert.
The second step was to mobilize the peasants who had lost their land, and the Principality would provide basic food along the way, and these peasants would be arranged in the city of Rahman.
In civil affairs, the highest governor is the Minister of Civil Affairs, and the relocated population is not subject to the supervision of the Minister of Finance.
When he learned that there was a world of gods that allowed Tulips to build a country, Keti first doubted Xia Lei's statement, in Keti's eyes, a world of gods was open to mortals, which was impossible.
After personally following Xia Lei into the World Pearl, facing the endless land and the towering Sun Palace Temple, Ke Ti immediately became a fanatical fan of the Lord of the Sun Palace.
