After talking about important big things, the next thing we have to talk about is some small things. Ulutus had his ears and did not make much statement throughout the whole process. Because like those big plans, these small things had long been seen by him.

Among them, the Ministry of Works is preparing to build military tools workshops in Liaoyang and Hanyang. This is also to prepare for the future war, so the output is further upgraded. In terms of population, after the old-year-old immigration, the people of Ming Dynasty have now exceeded five million and are quickly approaching six million.

Fortunately, as the war ended, the conflict between people and land in the Central Plains eased, and the number of immigrants introduced was rapidly declining. Therefore, although there were still continuous introductions of immigrants, the court no longer needed to spend the whole country's efforts to deal with it.

In addition, the Ministry of Revenue hopes to upgrade the prefectures and counties where Liaoyang City is located to prefectures, reaching the same specifications as Shangjing Prefecture. Or maybe Xijing is set up in Liaoyang, Beijing is set up in Manzhouli, and Nanjing is set up in Hanyang City.

In this way, the immigration share of these cities will definitely be increased to a certain extent. In the political and economic fields, they will also have greater autonomy.

However, this plan was rejected by Ulutus in public!

He didn't want the Ming Kingdom to be like a small autonomous island in later generations. It was not big, but there were many municipalities directly under the central government. It was obviously a little bit big, so why bother to mess with people?

And he didn't think that the territory of the Ming Dynasty would stagnate.

Even if the Duojing system is established, it is the Zhongdu of the Khanate, Kaifeng of the Jin Kingdom, Lin'an of the Song Kingdom or Jiankang City are qualified to be selected. Even if Manzhouli has the advantage of a dragon-rise land, in his eyes, it is still not as realistic as the location of the Khanate's tent.

So it is important to not be so stupid as to develop well and expand strength. But under the current form, it is still necessary to create several model cities. Liaoyang City, Hanyang City, Manzhouli, and even the newly built Heihe River, and Vladivostok, which has not been expanded on a large scale, can all have the qualifications to be a model city.

Because to a certain extent, they are the windows for Ming Dynasty to exchange foreign exchanges, or the central city of the region. Once they develop well, they will definitely have a driving effect on the surrounding areas. Moreover, Ming Dynasty is still in a vast and sparsely populated situation, and it is impossible to develop it everywhere into a fertile wilderness.

Therefore, with these model states and cities as the center and coordinated development from point to surface is the best national policy at present.

Then the Privy Council and relevant departments and departments such as the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Industry jointly discussed to see if some targeted decrees can be issued so that these cities can have better development opportunities.

After dealing with these, the major policies and guidelines of the second year of Qianwu have basically set the tone. Next, as long as the officials work together and work hard to move forward.

So at the end of winter and early spring of the Ming Dynasty, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were busy like whipped tops, constantly busy. The inspectors assigned to the local area had no time to rest, and often stayed here for one or two days and there for one or two days in order to fully implement the new policy of the Ming Dynasty.

However, as the leader, Ulutus was quite free. He sometimes went to the Privy Council to sit and sometimes went to the Governor's Office to take a look. Sometimes he also went to see the production progress of the Ministry of Works' military weapon workshop, which made the officials even more afraid to slack off.

Just as the whole country is busy, Heihe City in Longjiang Province is not as busy as the snow melts slowly, because it is slow to melt. After all, it is cold and there are too few people's limited outdoor activities.

Most people still participate in literacy training in warm houses.

And the army is not treated so well!

Although there is also literacy training, military training began early.

In the Jieya River Basin, in the wild and primitive jungle, a team wearing white robes and white velvet hats were dragging wooden wheelbarrows with large quantities of supplies, squeaking on the river surface. Sometimes when they encounter some uneven ice surfaces, a creaking sound will be mixed.

Fortunately, the current temperature is still low and there is no sign of melting on the river surface. So even if you encounter uneven places, you don’t have to worry about the wheels crushing the ice surface.

Such a natural official road has become the best transportation channel.

Of course, this refers to the days without blizzards. After all, in the north, the power of wind and snow is still very terrifying. Especially in the rivers nearby, even the strongest military force may be lost in the weather of blizzards and even freeze to death.

At present, the commander of this transportation team is Lin Shixian. The imperial court's order to form the Eastern Army has been delivered. It is also underway to prepare intensively. It will be officially established just when the army gathers.

So although Lin Shixian is still a militia organization, he is already a regular army. Their end this time is the upper reaches of the Jieya River, close to the military camp of Huollulu.

After the government of Longjiang Province made a plan to "sit down the mountain to watch the tiger fight", it decided to "reap the benefits of fishermen" in the coming year.

Now, although it is not yet time for war to begin, various preparations can be carried out, including establishing military camps in the upper reaches of the Jieya River, transporting supplies to it, etc. Just wait for the time to arrive, all the two major tribes in the north can be officially wiped out.

By then, the entire Longjiang Province would really have no power to compete with the Ming army.

"Okay, let's stop and set up camp after walking for a while. Eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, and continue to travel tomorrow!" Lin Shixian saw that the sun had already begun to set westward, so he ordered. After living in the north for a long time, he also knew that in winter, Longjiang Province always darkened very quickly and dawned very late.

This also greatly shortens their time to travel!

After all, it is still very dangerous to slander the road. Although many large beasts have hibernated, they may be awakened. After a winter of hunger, these beasts are hungry and very ferocious.

There are other tribes in the forest that cannot be kept alive. If the other party attacks at night, it will be a life-and-death crisis that the transportation team has to deal with.

As the commander, Lin Shixian naturally does not want his team members to suffer casualties. Similarly, he does not want any loss of goods.

The forest here is too big. From the perspective of ordinary people, it is simply vast. Even if the Ming army has excellent weapons, it cannot stop the ambitions of those tribes who have never experienced the powerful Ming army.
