Chapter 1030: 1 wave is not flat, 1 wave rises again

The blood-colored dusk illuminates the land of Qingzhou, putting everything in a red coat.
After a brief silence in the Imperial Study Room, Fiji asked worriedly: "If this is the case, what should Ghat do? The official thought he would not accept this condition."
"He didn't need to accept this condition, because I still need him to take care of the grassland." Xiao Ming said lightly: "This decree is only aimed at barbarians who are going to Siberia and Australia. After all, I don't want the land that I have been struggling to win. As for the place where they thrived, as for Gubat, no matter how hard he tossed, a dilapidated tribe would not be able to set off any storms. After all, the age of cavalry has passed."
Fiji and Pang Yukun understood immediately, and they said at the same time; "The emperor is wise."
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Xiao Ming said: "The disaster on the grassland has been eliminated, but this does not mean that the threat to the north has been eliminated. On the contrary, we will face a more powerful enemy, Tsarist Russia. The conflict between the two will be inevitable."
Pang Yukun now gradually understood Xiao Ming's thoughts. He said: "So the emperor kept Ghat in order to prevent Tsarist Russia from capturing the blank area of ​​power left by the destruction of the barbarians."
"Positive answer, the Cossack cavalry that Qi Guangyi eliminated this time has been able to explain the problem, but even so, I am afraid that some of the forces left by the barbarians have been occupied by Tsarist Russia."
On the other hand, Xiao Ming came to the world map and drew a circle in the area between the west side of the Tianshan Mountains and the Caspian Sea. This area is the land of the later Kazakh state, and it has always been Russia’s sphere of influence in contemporary times because it is far from Moscow. It is very close to St. Peter and Bo, whether it is the former Principality of Moscow or the successors after that, it will be here as their traditional scope.
According to the intelligence obtained by the Secret Guard, after Dolgo surrendered, Tsarist Russia took over here and ruled the Western Regions on this land on behalf of the Golden Horde.
"The emperor is going to compete with Tsarist Russia?" What did Fiji realize.
Nodding lightly, Xiao Ming said: "This is the only place on the Silk Road. It is now occupied by Tsarist Russia, which means that they have cut off our business route from land to Europe. I will not let my neck be caught by others. Pinch."
Pang Yukun frowned and said,
It’s just that this place is too far away from Qingzhou. Even if we defeat the Tsarist army on the land, we can’t control this place. The emperor said that to completely control a piece of land would require a large number of immigrants. reproduce."
"Moreover, after Kanto immigrants, Siberian immigrants, and Ryukyu immigrants, seven million people have moved out of the country. According to the emperor’s plan, we will also immigrate to Australia and North America. In this way, the population in the empire will become less and less. The lack of population will seriously affect the development of industry and commerce.
Fiji echoed.
"Old Fei Ge now understands the demographic dividend more and more clearly. That's right, with the expansion of the empire’s industrial scale and the increase in types of industries, a sufficient population is required to realize a complete industrial system, otherwise the empire It is impossible to break through the bottleneck of the whole system," Xiao Ming said.
In fact, he has always attached great importance to the population issue, which is why he issued a decree to stimulate births, but population growth cannot be increased on a large scale in a day or two. According to the current population base of tens of millions of people in the empire, it is estimated that the time is the most in ten years. Can increase the population by 20 million.
But even so, the population of the empire is second to none in the current world. Fiji’s worries are right, but they are somewhat redundant, because he is not going to be fattened by one bite.
The reason why Kanto moved such a large population was to expand the land area of ​​the empire in Asia and actually control it, because the threat of Tsarist Russia is right in front of him, and he will be taken by Tsarist Russia if he does not occupy it. This is related to the territorial issue.
But the problems in Australia, North America, and Southeast Asia are different. He does not have an urgent need to forcibly emigrate and settle the people, because what he wants in these areas is economic benefits. He only needs the army to control the local aborigines and use economic benefits to guide people to migrate and settle. .
In this way, it only takes decades of reproduction, and the people who come here to find a new life will form a scale, and gradually take advantage of the population to actually occupy these places.
Thinking of this, he told the two of his ideas.
When Fiji and Pang Yukun heard the words, they nodded at the same time. Pang Yukun said, "It turns out that the emperor had planned for a long time. It's so wonderful."
"The most important issue of the empire now is the development of industry and commerce. I will not destroy the Great Wall by myself. Now that the barbarians are extinct, the threats close to them are gone. Although Tsarist Russia is eyeing, it cannot cross the imperial defense line. You have created an unprecedented stable environment, and your cabinet must seize the present opportunity and make every effort to build the imperial industrial system."
After all, Xiao Ming picked up a thick document from the table. This document was the empire development plan that Yang Chengye was responsible for compiling and finally confirmed by him.
In this plan, he listed a series of key projects that need to be built. In terms of energy, he approved the construction of thermal power stations in various states, large coal companies in the coal-rich city of Chang'an, and included oil exploration plans.
In terms of transportation, he approved the nationwide construction of bridges, railways, and ordinary roads in various states and counties. Industrially, he chose resource-rich areas to build heavy industrial zones, while coastal areas focused on light industry.
In addition, in terms of education, he approved the construction of key universities in Jinling City, Chang'an, Jinzhou, Bozhou, Lin'an, Songjiang, Suzhou, etc., focusing on popularizing science and technology.
In terms of shipbuilding ~ EbookFREE.me~ In addition to the previous Dengzhou and Jinling shipyards, he once again approved 30 large shipyards including Beishacheng Shipyard, Songjiang Shipyard, Lin'an Shipyard, and Guangzhou Shipyard.
These shipyards are all government-run shipyards. They can build warships and produce civilian ships. After the threat on the grassland is fixed, the empire will spend more energy on the ocean in the future, so this time Xiao Ming focused on taking care of it. Get off the shipyard.
Pang Yukun took this development plan, only to glance at the top and he knew that he would be busy again.
After discussing government affairs, the two were about to go back. At this time, Qian Dafu came in from the side hall and delivered a report to Xiao Ming.
"The emperor, Luo Xin, commander of the Southwest Army, reported that their cavalry hunters outside Songzhou found that the Tubo cavalry suddenly went north." Qian Dafu said.
"Tubo?" Xiao Ming frowned. The barbarians had just disappeared, and he didn't expect the Tubo disaster to rise again, but this time Tubo did not attack Songzhou, but the purpose of going north was too obvious.
He didn't expect that Tsarist Russia hadn't done it yet, but the Tubo hurriedly wanted to steal the fruits of victory from him. rw
