Chapter 115 New Era No. 39: Bukhara

 "The Bukhara land, including Tashkent in the Sir River Basin, is mainly composed of Uzbeks. In fact, the local Sogdians and the surrounding nomadic tribes are mixed"

"In the end, the Turkic language system occupied the upper hand. In addition to the Sir River and the oasis area where the Zelavshang River flowed through, it is surrounded by deserts. The desert is naturally nomadic tribes, but the population is mainly concentrated in the Sir River and Zelavshang River oasis area, where the people are mainly farmers"

"The Oasis of Sir River near Tashkent was once ruled by the Junggars, which did not have much obstacles to our entry. However, the Zelavshang River Basin has been ruled by tribes who believe in Islam, and the Islamic beliefs there are deeply rooted"

"Zeravshan Oasis can feed millions of people, but in the past two hundred years there have been sacked by the Junggars, the Hanazim, the Persians, and the Afghans. Just like in West India, there are few times of peace."

"Therefore, the population there has always been around 1.5 million, which also includes the herdsmen in the surrounding deserts"

"The reason why this place is famous is naturally that the residents here have two skills in addition to farming"

"One is business, this place is located in the Persia, the prairie, and the key to Afghanistan. It is easy to do business. Business is the key element of the continuous rise of the lords"

"One is gem processing. Whether in the Tashkent or the Zelavshang River Basin, all kinds of gems are produced, and the gem mines in the Turkestan Mountains between them are extremely rich"

"The gems here cover almost all the categories we know, and even the peach blossom stones that we always thought were only Elista's unique peach blossom stones, which were produced in a small amount"

"In addition, there are gold mines in the desert. With gems and gold, they can create various jewelry, creating a large number of craftsmen"

"Copper mines and coal mines are produced near Tashkent, and they can also become a processing center. However, my country already has two major complexes, Galacanda and Yili. Whether or not to invest energy to develop here needs to be considered"

Qitad nodded, "You don't understand what I mean yet. For us, there must be means to effectively stabilize it. What advice do you have in this regard?"

"The people of Wobasi just grasped the key aspects of regulation, but that is also a behavior that treats symptoms but not root causes"

Techina thought for a while and said, "From our country's practice, it seems that industry can change a place the most, such as the Bukhara region. People here have become accustomed to doing business, farming, and grazing, and it is estimated that there has not changed for thousands of years."

"If you want this stable habit, you should inject new things in addition to immigration. With industry, especially the industry brought by steam power, you can produce a large amount of quality and cheap things"

"Then it will have a huge impact on traditional commerce, agriculture and animal husbandry, allowing a considerable number of people to invest in industry"

“According to your words, industry is an activity that requires organization, discipline, and technology, and perhaps a lot of industrial construction is invested there to play the greatest role”

"In addition to the absorption of the army and the school, it is estimated that at least half of the people will be brought to us. In addition, the people brought by His Highness Wobaxi are almost as stable as Mount Tai"

Qitade lowered his head and thought for a while.

"Then do you think it is more appropriate to build a factory?"

"Your Majesty, when it comes to resources, it is naturally the most suitable Tashkent, but when it comes to geographical location, it is naturally the most suitable Zelavshang River Basin, among which Karshi is the most suitable"

"Why is this?"

"Your Majesty, although Kahil is not in the main basin of the Zelavshang River, it is located between the Zelavshang River and the Amu River, roughly forming a triangle with Samarkand and Bukhara"

"It is not far from the Amu River to the south, and the geographical location is very important. There are not many mineral resources nearby. However, there are also a small amount of copper and iron coal mines produced in the western end of the Turkestan Mountains in the east, but they are all small ore sites. If they are all operated by the state, they will not be very effective."

"Without large mines, it is impossible to support railway construction"

"So, I suggest building a medium-sized coal-iron-copper composite in Tashkent. The copper mines and coal mine resources are relatively concentrated and have good quality. The problems of iron ore are the same as those of Cahill, so it is better to build a coal-hard composite"

"With the coal-copper composite, it can support the production of a large amount of ammunition"

"As for Cahill, because it is located in the heart of the Amu River, it is surrounded by large oasis, and it is also a high-quality production area for cotton, wheat and grapes. It can be built into a fur processing, textile, wine, and cotton textile industry center in the Governor's jurisdiction"

"Products can also radiate to Persia and Afghanistan"

"The Amu River is below Termez, and the river water depth remains above three meters all year round. Large flatbeds can be used, and the shipping industry can be developed."

"In the past, the Bukhara, Khorasan, and Afghans also used this waterway, but they were all small boats, and were mainly individual merchants. If the industry in Tashkent and Kahill were formed, they could set up ports along the key areas of Termez to Hualazimo to facilitate exchanges and trade in various places"

"By the way, Cahill can also become a gem processing center. Gems from Persia, Tajik, Afghanistan and Fergana can be shipped here for processing"

"Very good", Qitade clapped his hands, "Techina, I used to think you were just interested in military affairs, but I didn't expect that you have strengthened a lot of government affairs in recent years"

Techina also smiled and said, "As one of the seven regents, how can I not move closer to Su Wenyu and others?"

Qitad nodded, "That's good, there is one thing I want to hear from you"

"Your Majesty, let me guess, it's probably related to Zoroastrianism"

“Yes”

"Your Majesty, although our country has intervened, I originally wanted to stabilize the Hualazimo, but the regulations of the Zoroastrian Church seem to be too backward. Now they can only develop in the desert and have gradually declined in the city."

"However, because there are many Zoroastrians migrating in the Hualazim area, they have barely maintained a certain prosperity."

"There is no need to think about the Bukhara region. Although they did believe in this religion hundreds of years ago, time has passed and they can no longer stay in the city. Your Majesty, we already have the Changchun religion and we no longer need them."

Qitad shook his head, "Zoroastrianism, Christianity, Islamic Buddhism, and Judaism actually originated in West Asia. They influenced each other. Zoroastrianism was probably the earliest. Others are developing, but he has not reformed many times, which is somewhat similar to Bon religion in Tibet."

"But Bon religion has been perfectly integrated with Buddhism and has formed Lamaism"

"Your Majesty, you mean..."

"Yes, Changchun religion also needs to be reformed. Although we have also added some contents of the doctrine of Unitarianism, the core is still in the Eastern style, and its doctrines and classics are indeed not as detailed as other religions

"Although Zoroastrianism is ancient and primitive, its doctrines and classics are extremely complex and gradually declines, there is still a complete team to operate"

"Your Majesty, your consciousness is to integrate Changchun Church with Zoroastrianism?"

"Oh, it's time for Rahman and others to make full use of their talents. Some people from the Zoroastrian Church can also give full play to their strengths, instead of being raised by our country and doing nothing"
