Chapter 1633
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal. Although it was beneficial for the future, it was useless at the time. On the contrary, it accelerated the demise of the Sui Empire.
In the current Great Xia Empire, whether it is the construction of the transportation system, the spread of the education system, and even the resettlement policy, the deployment of tens of millions of slaves, its scale is larger than the construction of the Grand Canal .
Of course, the situation Yang Guang faced at that time cannot be compared with the present. No one was holding back Ying Yi, and no one dared to hold him back. Holding incomparable Origin Qi profundities, inexhaustible food and more human and material resources.
Everything is because Ying Yi has an Origin Qi plan.
The biggest limitation at the moment is actually manpower. The Origin Qi solution is not a panacea, or in other words, there is no way to solve the problem of manpower demand for the time being.
Origin Item is very powerful, but Origin Item needs to be made of gold alloy. The preparation of gold alloys requires a large amount of gold, silver, copper, and iron raw materials. The consumption of basic raw materials for gold, silver, copper, and iron in the six months since the founding of the country alone has exceeded ten times that of the peak recorded by the Ming court.
The recovery of gold, silver and copper from the private sector is one of them. The fundamental reason is to expand the scale of mining and smelting. Here, a lot of manpower is required.
Commoners divide farms and land, and the labor at their disposal is not enough, so it is difficult to support the construction of the empire in this regard.
In some industries, Ying Yi does not intend to let slave get involved for the time being.
The ministers work together, and everyone has their own opinions. Finally, the three suggestions for a ring fastens another ring are formed.
One, encourage childbirth. There is no hesitation in this question.
The territory of the empire is now extremely large, and the military is still continuing to develop-the Northwest War Zone, Zheng Jiu's department has moved to Muxi Prefecture, for the Mobei glare like a tiger watching his prey, as long as Ying Yi With an order, an all-out attack on the Mobei Wala people can be launched at any time. In addition to a full-scale offensive, it can be said that Wala is being conquered on a small scale at any time-plundering population, cattle and sheep, and slowly opening up territory.
The Southwest War Zone has been stationed on the border of Yunnan for half a year. It is exactly similar to the Northwest War Zone, and it is slowly and firmly developing towards South Vietnam.
Liaodong War Zone is as good as it is not backward. After conquering the Korean Peninsula, it chased the remnants of the Eastern Captives to continue north and then north.
The Jiangnan War Zone has also moved to Guangdong, and it is in the southwestern War Zone. Only after Ying Yi orders, you can attack South Vietnam.
The navy is not lagging behind. With Shandong and Taiwan islands as the north-south core, the two naval War Zones gradually melted the Great Xia sea territories, and began to contact Japan and the West Zhuyi. It is expected that naval battles will break out in the near future.
The vast territory that will continue to be developed requires more various Xia clansman to occupy. More than 100 million people are far from meeting Ying Yi's requirements. Encouraging business will be an unshakable national policy for a long time to come.
Secondly, increase encouragement to business. For example, Ying Yi said at the previous meeting that commoners can lease land beyond their reach to merchants. The more prosperous the business, the more ways commoners can obtain benefits. The land will not look so tightly, which is conducive to the release of labor.
Thirdly, continue to expand the scale of slaves. At present, the Yi Di, who has suffered in the past dynasties around the empire, has almost disappeared, which has increased the free labor force that the empire has to more than ten million. But that's not enough. We must continue to expand and continue to plunder more free labor.
The Wala people in Mobei, the Mughal people in the west of the Western Regions, the poison people in the south of Tibet, the aboriginals on the Nanyue Peninsula, the aboriginals of the Nanyang Islands, and even Japan. are goals.
Fourth, Origin Qi Palace accelerates the research progress and adds new research projects-more types of transportation tanks and civil derivatives of ships; special Origin Item equipment for mineral mining and smelting; new models are updated Partial alloy materials and more types of engineering Origin Item, etc.
The research on more types of transportation tanks and ships is gradually popularizing among the people. The greater the power of the tool, the more labor is liberated.
The mining and smelting of minerals has always been an old method before, and the manpower efficiency is extremely low. Once the Origin Item equipment dedicated to mining and smelting minerals is developed, it can greatly improve efficiency, increase the scale of raw material output, increase the utilization rate of manpower, and increase the output of gold alloys to promote the construction of the empire.
As for the development of new types of biased alloy materials and more types of engineering Origin Item, it is derived from the construction of the cross-river bridge. Whether it is the primordial A-type gold alloy or the later-developed B-type gold alloy with a lighter material, the unit mass is still a problem for the construction of the bridge across the river.
After all, any bridge column is a few 100 feet long, let alone three feet in diameter. As far as the B-type gold alloy is concerned, the weight of a bridge column of this size is as high as seven or eighty thousand jin. Although it is much lighter than steel, it is still not human-powered.
Therefore, the research of new models of alloy materials that are lighter and more portable under the premise of unchanged or higher strength must be put on the agenda. And more types, such as Origin Item for lifting, are also indispensable.
"The new alloy and the new Origin Item have their own Origin Qi temple to worry about." Ying Yi concluded: "In terms of population growth, promotion of commerce, etc., the Muzhengyuan cannot relax. This is a long time. The long-term strategy of the court. The Royal Court should improve the relevant laws accordingly, and there should be no loopholes in this area."
"In terms of increasing manpower, increasing the number of slaves is the quickest. First, plunder South Vietnam. Aboriginals and Shentou people are the main ones. The military government will first make a battle plan against Shentou and South Vietnam. The Muzhengyuan is ready to accept slaves and is ready to fully bring the pioneering land under the rule."
"Men are limited to fifteen to 40 years old, and women are limited to ten to 30 years old. Male officials are charged into slave labor camps, and female officials are used to sell civilians."
"At present, there are Taixi Yidi Raider in South Vietnam, Nanyang region and body poison. First find out the influence of body poison and South Vietnam, and then improve the combat plan."
"However, there will be no military situation for the time being. Too big action. Focus on small-scale development. After the main road system is fully opened, we will discuss this matter. Chuitian Pavilion Military Law Department and Military Jifu Zanhua Department will write down what I have said and let Zhou Li, Zhang Shi and Qian Yue Be careful and don’t let me down."
Finally, Ying Yi said: "All the kings stay and accompany me to have a meal together."
Not long afterwards, the royal dining room will serve wine and food. , More than a dozen monarchs and ministers ate in this imperial study room without mentioning it.
Before the banquet, Zheng Yunzhi suddenly thought of something and said: "The empire has been established, but Your Majesty's harem is empty. This is not a matter of etiquette. When the draft is selected, Your Majesty's harem will be enriched, and Your Majesty will be invited to get married. , To secure the world."
Ying Yi hearing this said with a smile: "Mount Tai has the final say."
It's indeed time to get married. It has been more than three years since Henan. Zi Niang has also been born and slim, and her original promise should be fulfilled by herself.
As for the draft, Ying Yi doesn't matter.
