    Chapter 513: The Ambitious Liaodong Construction Plan (Second Update)

    During this period, the Chinese Empire had no time to deal with the Ming Dynasty and send troops to the Ming Dynasty, so it tried its best to prevent the Ming Dynasty from having so much energy to constantly harass the Chinese Empire.  This chapter is updated for you by netizens] Very

    ?Perhaps some people think this is impossible, because the Chinese Empire is strong and the Ming Dynasty is weak. How could the Ming Dynasty take the initiative to harass the Chinese Empire.

    But don¡¯t forget that the minds of the literati of the Ming Dynasty are not understandable by normal people. They need to attack targets and need their own presence in the center.

    If nothing happens, someone will impeach Hong Chengchou or Sun Chuanting for their inaction.  They will say that Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting are good at defense but not good at offense, so they need to choose someone else.  Fortunately, Daming was really slutty. Even if someone had such a suggestion, Chongzhen ignored it.

    But this is good, at least Xiao Mingqian can digest the newly occupied territory with peace of mind.

    The three southeastern provinces of Ming Dynasty are in constant trouble, and the problems in the northeastern region are also very big.

    After the return of the Liaodong immigrants from Sakhalin, the accommodation of the people of Dongjiang Town, the people of the Ningjin area under the control of the Ming Dynasty, the more than 300,000 Ming, M¨¦ng, and Korean captives, as well as those attracted by the large amount of land use rights, came  The people who were searching for gold in Liaodong finally had a total population of over 2 million, reaching 2.1 million.

    But these 2.1 million people are simply too few for the vast land of Liaodong.  Although the proportion of young people among them is very large because of the prisoners, the number of manpower that can be dispatched is simply no more than a million.

    The problem is that Xiao Mingqian¡¯s plan for Liaodong is very huge.  Xiao Mingqian hopes to build a complete road network in Liaodong within five years.  *.

    There are four main highway networks in his plan, one connecting Ningyuan, Jinzhou, Dalinghe, Yizhou and Shenyang.  The second one goes all the way north from the newly built Empress Palace port through Liaoyang and directly to Shenyang.  The third route starts from Lushun and goes north along the east coast of the Liaodong Peninsula, then turns northwest at the newly built Dandong Port and reaches Shenyang.  The fourth route is to go north from Shenyang, pass through Fushun and Tieling, and arrive at Kaiyuan.

    The scale of the four highway networks was so huge that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were stunned when they received the news.  Although I have not seen the construction of these three highways with my own eyes, I can tell that the construction of these four highways consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

    Most Ming officials felt that the emperors and ministers of the Chinese Empire were really crazy.  Such a huge project can be compared with the scale of the Grand Canal.

    Therefore, many people believe that the Chinese Empire will definitely be the second Sui Dynasty. Although it is strong for a while, it will eventually collapse quickly.

    But what they don¡¯t know is that in the Chinese Empire, even ordinary people are extremely excited and crazy about this huge road network construction plan.

    The cost of four huge highways reaches 30 million, which means how big a piece of meat is.  A construction army of one million people will consume so much materials. Even providing the necessary soap to these millions of people can make a soap factory make a fortune.

    "This is just something that is not commonly used. Massive food consumption, massive meat food consumption, massive cloth consumption, massive construction tool consumption, massive tableware demand, massive medicine demand, massive demand.

    In short, the demand for everything is massive, which will allow many people to earn countless wealth, how many factories will be able to increase the production of their products, and how many workers will get generous wages at the end of the year.  Year-end rewards.

    In the industrial age, large-scale projects are not an act of consuming national power, but a means of stimulating the healthy development of the country's economy. To a certain extent, its effect is greater than the stimulating effect of war.  It is good and more conducive to the healthy development of the national economy.

    Of course, not all Ming officials could not see this, and a few Ming officials were worried.  During the pre-Qin period, South Korea's plan to weaken Qin made the Guanzhong Plain a fertile land. Not only did it fail to consume Qin's national power, it actually greatly enhanced it.

    Will the current Chinese Empire be Qin or Sui?  This question really upsets many people.

    Although the Chinese Empire mobilized people on a large scale to build huge highways when it was first founded, Xiao Mingqian did not take into account domestic opposition and simultaneously carried out large-scale military operations with heavy casualties.

    ¡°And they didn¡¯t see any complaints from the people who were transferred to build roads. Instead, a rumor spread to Ming Dynasty, that is, because of the construction of these four roads, the lives of those people have been greatly improved.

    Some Ming officials can still see these.  They are different from those officials who are obsessed with power struggles.?Able to view everything about the Chinese Empire relatively objectively. Although they do not like the Chinese Empire, they will not ignore the significance of these actions of the Chinese Empire.  But they could only see the surface, and could not see the inner energy of the Chinese Empire.

    And this energy will explode in Liaodong. In order to make this explosion more thorough and powerful, Xiao Mingqian wants to establish a steel industry system in Liaodong that is larger than that in Taiwan, as well as an ambitious military industry system, in order to establish another  The basis for expansion.

    However, by the end of 1851, Xiao Mingqian was unable to achieve many things in Liaodong. All manpower had been used up in port construction and highway construction.  Although those steel plants have sent technicians to Liaodong to inspect iron mines and coal mines, so far, only one iron mine and one sky-high coal mine have been discovered.

    As for the steel plant, there are currently no conditions to build it because of the unbearable lack of manpower.

    One million manpower, although a lot, is pitiful for Liaodong, where everything is zero. It is so small that Xiao Mingqian will have to spend at least five years to alleviate the situation, and he also needs to vigorously encourage immigrants to Liaodong.

    So although many people believe that under the current circumstances, there is no need to continue to maintain the immigration fund, Xiao Mingqian still insists on allowing the immigration fund to continue to exist.

    And now it has completely changed from paying merchants for immigration to providing various forms of subsidies to those who immigrated to the sparsely populated areas of the Chinese Empire.

    In the end, under the pressure of huge demand for manpower, Xiao Mingqian had to accept Chen Yuanyun's suggestion and send some Koreans who were about to immigrate to Nanyang to Liaodong to do something.

    Through several months of working time, their weak bodies can be recuperated in the process to reduce the trouble during sea transportation.  Doing so can at least reduce the possibility of infectious disease outbreaks.
