Chapter 863 Preparing to let the Tartars go to the American continent

【Today's third update is delivered!】

What choice would the Yansheng Duke family make between false names and real interests? They are all curious. Zhang Zhun gave in, and the Yansheng Duke family must give in. This is the most basic exchange of interests. If the Yansheng Duke family cannot do this, Zhang Zhun finds an excuse to kill them, and the three of them cannot control it. To achieve this, the three of us have already done our best and have nothing to do.

In fact, Zhang Zhun will wait and see this choice. Now he does need the help of scholars. No country can operate without scholars. Before the large-scale nine-year compulsory education promotion, the only scholars in Ming Dynasty were indeed the targets for all forces. As long as Yan Shenggong surrenders, the future of the Hu Ben Army will be bright.

Will Yansheng Gong surrender? Zhang Zhun believes that he will consider it carefully. Yansheng Gong's false reputation is much more important than real interests. From ancient times to the present, the Yansheng Gong family has no idea how many dynasties have undergone, so of course they know how to choose.

If the Yanshenggong family is still obsessed with it, Zhang Zhun really doesn't mind destroying them completely. To destroy a person, there is no need for his own actions. It only requires a little hint and launch a small movement. Mass movements have always been a weapon of killing, and no matter who they want to destroy, they can be destroyed without a trace.

"You are here just in time. I'm discussing something with you."

After the Yan Shenggong's matter was resolved, Zhang Zhun immediately staggered the topic and said.

What he wanted to discuss was mainly the reconstruction plan of Liaodong. He initially decided that after completely pacifying Liaodong, he would formulate a five-year plan and strive to develop the Liaodong region in the shortest time.

This development plan is not only about the economic recovery of the Liaodong region, but also about improving the living standards of the people in Liaodong, but more importantly about the industrialization of the Liaodong region. Simply put, it is about developing a large number of iron ore, coal, wood, oil and other resources in the Liaodong region.

To develop these resources, a large number of factories are built. Building factories requires a lot of funds. These funds must be prepared in advance and prepared in advance. The preparation of funds requires the development of more gold and silver mines and vigorously developing trade. In other words, it involves all aspects of the Ministry of Government.

Zhang Shenyan asked curiously: "Yulin, how much money is your five-year plan going to invest in total? Liaodong is sparsely populated, weak foundation, and has been beaten by the Tartars. There is a piece of white land everywhere. If there is not enough money, it will not be easy to develop."

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said slowly: "No less than three million taels per year."

Zhang Shenyan said in surprise: "So much? Where do we get so much wealth?"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said affirmatively: "I will find a way to find a way to get the source of wealth."

Gao Hongtu said with some confusion: "Yulin, is this place in Liaodong really worth investing like this? If you invest again, you need output. What can Liaodong produce?"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course it's worth it."

Zhang Shenyan said with some concern: "Yulin, the wild land of Liaodong is too dangerous and there are many savages. If it develops but is stolen by them, wouldn't it be worth the loss? With so much money, it's better to put it in a safe place in Jiangnan..."

Qiao Yunsheng also said with some concern: "Yes! The population here is mixed, including Manchus, Mongolians, many northern natives, and even Russians. These people are hiding in the deep mountains and forests. It should not be easy for us to destroy them! It is indeed risky to put so much money here!"

They are quite confident about the current control ability of the Hu Ben Army. In the next thirty or fifty years, there will definitely be no major chaos in Liaodong. However, it must be considered that Liaodong is a place where the empire is transformed and a border area ruled by the empire. Over time, the empire's control ability over this place may become weaker and weaker.

If the Hu Ben Army's control over Liaodong is weakened decades or a hundred years later, will it become an important combat force for the enemy to attack the Central Plains? No one can say. When Nurhaci started his business, he used the armor and weapons given to him by the Ming Dynasty. If that were the case, it would be like burying a bomb for himself.

It is not surprising that they have such an idea. Because, since ancient times, no Central Plains dynasty has truly regarded Liaodong as its core territory. In most dynasties, the Liaodong area was a kind of banished states, and they were all ruled by locals. It was not until the Ming army entered Shenyang that it was the first time that the Han people truly ruled here.

However, although Liaodong was included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and became the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty actually did not really pay attention to the area of ​​Liaodong. In the understanding of ordinary scholars and officials, Liaodong is still a wilderness and a bottomless pit that consumes money and food.

From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, the Ming Dynasty has not invested much in Liaodong, and the economic development of Liaodong and the Central Plains are seriously unbalanced. One of the big reasons here is that some people are worried that Liaodong will not be defeated and pose a threat to the capital.

Seeing that Zhang Zhun was unmoved, Gao Hongtu said cautiously: "Yulin, if Liaodong is occupied by the enemy, it will be really a wedding dress for others."

Zhang Zhun said firmly: "Liaodong has a large amount of resources we need, including coal, steel, oil, wood and other reserves. We must keep this land firmly in our hands and develop it as soon as possible."

Gao Hongtu said in confusion: "What is oil?"

Zhang Zhun said with a slight gaze: "Our country cannot rely on farming to survive. We must develop industry. Oil and coal are the driving force for the development of industry."

The three of them looked at each other, obviously a little confused.

Zhang Zhun looked at their faces and knew that he had encountered a huge problem again.

This problem is the transformation from an agricultural country to an industrial country. China has been an agricultural country since ancient times. Traditional Confucian students received ideological education, which is also based on agriculture and the main principles. Agriculture is the foundation and farmers are the foundation. They are hostile to all factors that may affect agricultural development. For example, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce is the best example.

In order to ensure the development of agriculture, all dynasties, except for the Southern Song Dynasty, have tried their best to curb the development of industry and commerce. The policies of the Ming Dynasty were basically the same. Zhang Zhun now proposed to develop industry, which is to compete for status with agriculture. No wonder all three of them were confused. Zhang Zhun, you guy, is completely rebellious!

"Yulin, can you tell us in detail?"

Sure enough, Gao Hongtu asked expectantly.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "Of course."

In fact, the issue of industrialization is simple and simple, and complex. When it comes to great principles, Zhang Zhun must not be able to say these great scholars of the times. Therefore, he can only start from specific examples, see the big from the small, and win the support of the three of them.

"I believe everyone knows the importance of strange skills and tricks. Without these strange skills and tricks, it would definitely not be so easy for us to defeat the Tartars. However, the Tartars are just a group of backward barbaric nations. There is nothing to be proud of to defeat them. Our real enemy is the Western powers."

"Among the Western powers, the Dutch are the strongest. The Dutch have more than 15,000 large merchant ships and thousands of large warships. What is this number? If these merchant ships and warships are docked in the Bohai Bay, they are like dumplings in the pot. If all the warships are concentrated and shelled at the coast, a volley can smooth out the 50-mile coastline."

"What do we rely on to defeat the Dutch? Of course, we rely on more warships and more powerful artillery. Where do more warships come from? Of course, we come from the shipyard. Where do more powerful artillery come from? Of course, we come from the casting gun factory. The shipyard needs a lot of wood, and the casting gun factory needs a lot of steel. These things can only be provided in large quantities in Liaodong."

"In the future, when science and technology develop, wooden sail battleships will be outdated. In the future, the hulls will be made of steel, and the power will be steam engines. These steel battleships need coal and oil to drive them."

"It can be said that Liaodong can be said to be the foundation of our Hu Ben Army and must not be lost. Without Liaodong, we would not be able to complete the process of industrialization, which will greatly affect our national strength."

Gao Hongtu said in a low voice: "What will the Tartars do? Are they all extinct?"

Zhang Zhun stood up, pointed to the map on the wall, and said deeply: "No! I have to use them to do something!"

Gao Hongtu said in confusion: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Zhun pointed to the location of the Bering Strait on the map and said deeply: "I want them to pass through the American continent from here."

Gao Hongtu and the other three looked at the map and looked at each other again. Let the Tartars migrate to the American continent? What to do? Where can they fend for themselves?

Zhang Zhun nodded and explained slowly: "To be serious, the Tartars are also part of our Ming Dynasty. What they accept is our Confucian thought and culture, which is the same race as us. If they can survive on the American continent, they can also be considered part of our Ming Dynasty."

"Maybe everyone has no understanding of the American continent. Let's put it this way, the American continent has more resources than China. Especially gold mines, silver mines, etc., are everywhere. The Spanish have to obtain millions of taels of silver from Mexico every year. A considerable part of this silver flows into our country."

The three of them looked at each other and nodded slowly after a long time. Zhang Zhun's thinking was too leaping, and they couldn't catch up at all. Before the Liaodong matter was settled, Zhang Zhun's eyes were just staring at the American continent? Alas, this Zhang Zhun is such a freak!
