In the afternoon, in front of a map of Australia, Yu Wen Wen was pondering. He was searching for fragments of memory, trying to remember where there is a big gold mine in Australia so that Nanyang Trading Company could "follow the map" and turn this piece of Australian abortion into a golden rooster.

However, after thinking about it, he could not think of anything except the unique Kangaroos, Koalas, and Platypus in Australia.

This is normal. Yu Wenwen's impression of Australia is that, besides modern cities, he only knows tourist attractions and characteristic animals, and he doesn't know the location of gold, silver, copper ore, and iron ore at all.

Rare birds and beasts may be able to transport them back to the exhibition, but it is impossible to generate income in zoos these days, let alone low transportation capabilities. If you catch some kangaroos, koalas, and platypus, you might die halfway through the way.

Yuwen Wen racked his brains and could come up with the "waste utilization" method to raise sheep in Australia and develop animal husbandry.

A very good idea even popped up in his mind.

The Miche, Khitan, Xi, Turkic people, as long as they were captured, they would throw them to Australia to raise cattle, sheep, and horses, and turn them into cowboys.

If you do this, you will not be afraid of raising a tiger. Even if the other party suddenly has hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry and is separated by thousands of miles of waves, it will not harm the Central Plains.

Compared with grasslands with harsh natural conditions, Australia's climate is pleasant, and it is not as smoky as the Southeast Asian Sea, with high temperatures and high humidity. I think men who come to trap will have good development in this new world.

Then, Australia, which mainly focuses on animal husbandry, produces large quantities of dairy products and wool textiles to the Central Plains?

Yuwen Wen thought about it and shook his head. With his current low shipping capacity, it would cost a lot of herders to transport enough herders to Australia, and it would be a huge deal to transport dairy products and wool textiles produced in Australia back to the Central Plains. This is simply not worth the effort.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to regard Australia as an exile place.

As soon as this idea came out, Yuwen Wen was a little excited. He ascended the throne for six years and had dealt with the huge bureaucracy for six years. He was made by some corrupt officials and became more and more hostile. He killed him and couldn't relieve his hatred. Exiling these "dog officials" to the Ridge is not enough to vent his anger.

So it feels very good to exil those dog officials and sinners to Australian sheep.

In the original history, Australia (Australia) was an exile site at the beginning, and the initial foreign settlers were all prisoners. Yuwen Wen felt that this "advanced experience" was good and worth learning from.

The exiled prisoner arrived in Australia and could not escape back to the Central Plains. He could not even leave Australia. He could only work honestly. If he wanted to run away, he could do so. After running out, he would either die of thirst or starve to death in the wilderness, or be bitten to death by wild animals, or be caught and eaten by natives.

When he thought of the corrupt officials and the scene of clearing wasteland in Australia, Yu Wen Wen felt very happy. He took out the report submitted by Zhang Yu and began to estimate the cost of exiling prisoners to Australia.

The exciting exile journey began in winter. The prisoner took a three-masted sea boat and went out from Guangling to sea, then went south directly to Keelung, Taizhou. After a short stop, he continued to go south, crossed Luzon, entered the waters of the Xiangyao Islands, and went straight to Diwugang in the south.

There, I took a sailboat, headed south through the weak windy sea, and arrived at Kainan, the northern end of Australia, where I started a "new life".

The whole process is quite expensive, but it is still within the scope of affordability. The ships transporting prisoners can follow the maritime trade fleet, so there is no need to start a "flight" separately, saving a lot of money.

Yuwen Wen became more and more moved and began to think about how to turn this idea into reality.

Since ancient times, the struggles in the officialdom have been to the death. If you want to avoid the resurgence of political enemies, the best way is to eliminate them, kill all the males, and confiscate them as slaves.

This approach is normal, but Yuwen Wen thinks it is too disharmonious and can be more civilized and exiled.

He was not the first to do this, but the previous exile site could not ensure that the prisoners would not rekindle, so many exiled officials could not escape the end of being sentenced to death.

Then when the exile is far away, the situation is different: Australia is almost isolated from the world, and prisoners cannot contact the outside world (Central Plains).

An official committed a crime and should have been in trouble. If he was exiled to Australia, thousands of miles away, he would not be allowed to the court and would never come back for his whole life. In this way, the political enemies would be relieved, and the offender would also save his and his family's lives.

Yuwen Wen felt that such a method of best in both worlds must be implemented. Considering that Kainan is a trade base, not a serious prefecture, county and city, and there are no officials in the imperial court, he felt that it would be a good deal to have a "prison outsourcing" and let Nanyang Trading Company charge money and supervise these exiles after it is collected.

It seems that the number of people who have been exiled by exile alone cannot be enough to open up the land. Then some serious offenders who have not died but want to be exiled can also be exiled to Australia.

In the first few years, the grain in Kainan was not self-sufficient, so it needed external transportation. The prisoners continued to open up land for several years, and gradually achieved harvests, and the situation opened up.

The prisoners were exiled to Australia for decades, and the population gradually increased, and the next step of development was possible.

Yuwen Wen thought and wrote a large piece of paper on what he thought out temporarily. After a long time, the imperial concubine Yang Lihua came to see her.

Yuwen Wen put down his pen and asked, "How is the couple ready?"

"Well, we will be able to set off in a few days." Yang Lihua sat aside and saw the map on Yuwen Wen's desk, but it was hard to ask, so she followed the topic: "Yongji Canal is just opened, and it's very convenient for them to go to Youzhou."

"That's right, hurry up and the Yongji Canal is finally completed..." Yu Wen Wen sighed and started talking to Yang Lihua.

The Yongji Canal, which runs through Hebei, was opened to navigation not long ago, which means that there is a reliable transportation line for grain transportation in Hebei, and the imperial court has to use troops, personnel, materials, and grain transportation in the north.

Just for military purposes, Yongji Canal is a canal tailor-made to solve the Liaodong issue.

The Yongji Canal connects the Yellow River in the south and the Youzhou Prefecture in the north to Jicheng. The ships are loaded with grain and can sail from the edge of the Yellow River to the vicinity of Jicheng, or travel east along the Sanggan River in the boundary of Youzhou (Bohai).

With this canal, the State of Zhou could mobilize more troops and materials to send them to Liaodong.

In order to completely solve the Liaodong problem and solve the big Goguryeo, Yuwen Wen has been working hard for many years to solve the problem of Liaodong. Now he is finally coming to an end, but he is not impatient or impatient.

This year, Yuwen Wen continued to send troops to harass Liaodong and attack Goguryeo's hometown, and continued to consume the opponent's national strength, but the head coach was not Yan Wang Yuwen Weihan.

When doing business, you should pay attention to making money together and making military achievements. Of course, this is the case. Yuwen Wen will not cut off a channel for the military generals for his son. Yuwen Weicheng is newly married, so Yuwen Wen asked his son to serve as the general manager of Youzhou, sit in Jicheng, and face each other across the sea from Liaodong, and seize the time to prepare for the war.

Ensure that the main artery of Yongji Canal is unobstructed, then clear the Lulong Road, strengthen road traffic connections with Yingzhou, and prepare for full efforts.

Just now, Yuwen Weihan and the princess greeted Yang Lihua. Now that she has left the palace, Yang Lihua is here to confirm the matters related to his son's appointment. Seeing that Yuwen Wen is in a good mood, she looked at the map on the case and asked:

"Is this a sketch from Australia?"

"Well, I'm thinking about deciding Australia as an exile."

"Uh..." Yang Li was speechless, and she couldn't keep up with Yuwen Wen's ideas.

Yuwen Wen asked the Nanyang Trading Company to launch a trade base in Australia, but in the end he wanted to set up an exile land?

Yuwen Wen disagreed with Yang Lihua's doubts: "It's time to exile, you have to be farther away to have deterrent power, right?"

"Then..." Yang Lihua thought of a possibility, and was confused about the following, and said it: "The exile has made many people feel like they are killed. If they are exiled to Australia, then if the offender can't stand it, they choose to commit suicide..."

Yuwen Wen was stunned when he heard this, and then sneered: "If you commit suicide? Whoever dares to commit suicide is to fight against the court and cut off yourself... The crime is more than one level! But it will affect the relatives!"

Yang Lihua was silent when she heard this. She couldn't continue talking about this issue, but there was another issue that she had to raise.

After thinking for a while, she tentatively spoke: "I have sorted out the accounts recently and found some... people's livelihood problems."

"Hmm? Then tell me, what's the problem?"

"Uh...because...the food prices have been falling year by year..." Yang Lihua glanced at Yuwen Wen and said with a thorn in the air: "It seems...there is no peace in some places."
