"Well, my husband said it so well. My destiny should be in my own hands. It's so good. Fortunately, I am willing to believe in my judgment. This is a good husband who can marry me... Bad guy, I just said you are doing it, why did you make trouble again?"

"It's rare that we are a couple together. As the saying goes, we have a close relationship. Don't you think we should celebrate? Hehehe, uh... I'm urinating." Speechlessly, even the little guy who is intimate with his wife is going to make trouble here. Fortunately, I grew up in a wealthy family, and now I am the dignified Emperor Majesty.

At least I can afford to hire a nanny, otherwise my wife would have taken up all her time by this little girl's movie.

"The land of Youyan is located in the northern border, Liaodong, and Hebei in the south. It is an important place. Now, it is under the jurisdiction of Luo Yi. Although this person is ambitious, he lacks talent and strategy. He is just a talent of a prince. Now, Dou Jiande fights with him, and although he has a small victory, he is weak. He knows that he is not the enemy of Dou Jiande. If Dou Jiande does not want to conquer Shanxi, he will not get any benefits. Therefore, Luo Yi can survive without hesitation." The teaching stick in Li Jing pointed at the huge map.

The sphere of influence of every Central Plains tyrant will be marked in a color to make it eye-catching. Today, before I was about to receive the envoys, I was enjoying Li Jing analyzing the world situation for many important civil and military officials.

Well, this is a must. I don’t want all the ministers under my command to be unclear about the national situation. We must have a vision in life, and as a superior, we must have a view of the overall situation. We are naturally cultivating the vision of these important officials.

Let them understand that the general trend of the world is related to people's livelihood and people's habits. For example, if the land of Western Qin is not taken down, then the specialties from the Western Regions and even the Western Tais will become extremely expensive, and our precious items such as silk and porcelain will be greatly reduced by those vendors' trade routes.

After opening up the trade route, trade exchanges became smooth, and taxes naturally increased steadily.

"...and here, Du Fuwei occupied Liyang, Chen Len occupied Jiangdu, and Li Zitong occupied Hailing, both of which had the intention of spying on Jiangnan. So Li Zitong attacked and surrounded Chen Len. Chen Len was in a critical situation and sent hostages to Shen Faxing and Du Fuwei to request troops to send troops to send aid. Shen Faxing asked his son Shen Lun to lead tens of thousands of troops to rescue Chen Len with Du Fuwei. Du Fuwei was stationed in Qingliu and Shen Lun was stationed in Yangzi, dozens of miles apart. Li Zitong's Nayan Mao Wen made a deep plan and recruited Jiangnan people to disguise as Shen Lun's soldiers, and attacked Du Fuwei's military camp at night. Du Fuwei was very angry and sent troops to attack Shen Lun. The two of them suspected each other and did not dare to advance first.

At the beginning of this month, Li Zitong attacked Jiangdu with all his might and conquered Jiangdu City, and Chen Le went to surrender to Du Fuwei. Li Zitong entered and left Jiangdu, took advantage of the opportunity to attack Shen Lun, defeated Shen Lun, and Du Fuwei also led the army to withdraw. Li Zitong then ascended the throne, with the country's name "Wu, and the year was Mingzheng. The leader of the Danyang bandit Le Botong, originally for Yuwen and defending Danyang, led more than 10,000 troops to surrender to Li Zitong, and Li Zitong appointed him as the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe... Now, Li Zitong occupied Jiangdu, intending to drink horses and go south to take Shen Faxing's territory..."

"The chaos is really messy enough. The Central Plains are in chaos, and the Jiangnan region is also in chaos." Ma Zhou shook his head and looked heavy: "No wonder nowadays, there are still many people leaving their hometowns. I remember that last month, nearly 2,000 Jiangnan refugees entered Guanzhong."

"Be good, the population under Your Majesty's rule has increased by nearly two million compared to the great cause." Cheng Yaojin looked at a piece of information in his hand and couldn't help but smack his tongue. "This is not the refugees recruited by His Majesty in Hancheng in the past."

Fang Xuanling nodded, took the information and said with a smile: "Yes, now, there are 7.853,745 people under the rule of Your Majesty. However, there are still five counties in Bashu. I think there should be nearly 8 million people and 1.6 million households. Now, nearly one-third of these two million refugees have been divided into Guanbei, Xiqin, and Hexi. Another third has gone to Bashu. The remaining one-third are currently under construction in Guanzhong. Now, there are still 410,000 refugees working and living here in Hancheng County."

"During the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty, there were more than 7 million households in the world. Now, under Your Majesty, the land is only one-fifth of the previous dynasty, but the population is one-quarter of the world." Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but look flushed. Yes, one-fifth of the previous dynasty could support eight million people, which is definitely a great innovation.

"During the Daye period, there were many wars. I don't know how many people in the world died. I'm afraid that it's less than two-thirds of the peak of the Kaihuang period." Qu Tutong's face couldn't help but dim and he said with a wry smile.

Fang Xuanling thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes, hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in the Sanzheng Goguryeo, and swept the grounds and soldiers in Shandong and Hebei. I don't know how many deaths were. Then the world was in chaos, and heroes rose up, and there was no place for peace in the world..."

"But fortunately, only with Your Majesty here can the people be at peace, otherwise... I really don't know how many of these more than two million refugees can survive." Li Jing smiled with a turbid breath.

Among these refugees, most of them went to the north and south to Bashu would be farmed. In addition, the captured surrendered soldiers, whether they were Western Qin or Bashu, except for leaving enough elite reorganizations, have become engineer soldiers.

Nowadays, road construction in Bashu is progressing rapidly. Three cement factories with a daily output of 1,000 tons of cement have been opened. In addition, lime factories, brick factories and other building materials factories are also under vigorous construction.

The Shu road is difficult in Bashu. However, with gunpowder, even if it is still difficult to build a road, it is many times faster than before. At present, four tunnels have begun to start from Qipanguan to Yicheng County for a hundred miles.

It is expected that by the middle of next year, the cement straight road from Qipanguan to Yicheng County will be fully connected. By then, it will be only fifty miles from Qipanguan to Yicheng County, and there will be fewer detours. More importantly, if this cement straight road is built smoothly.

It is only 930 miles from Chang'an to Guangyuan. If you take the post car, you can get there in less than two days. If the cement straight road from Guangyuan to Chengdu is completely built, the distance from Chang'an to Chengdu is expected to be about 1,500 miles. In other words, in less than three days, you can reach Chengdu directly from Chang'an, and from Yan'an to Chengdu, it will only be four days.

In this era, in this era of lack of steam and mechanical power, relying entirely on animal power to achieve such a fast speed is definitely a shocking move.

At least I was shocked after calculating it. Well, if I wanted to walk from Yan'an County in the north of Guanbei to Chengdu before I built the cement straight road, it would take at least two months to reach it. Even if ordinary rich people ride horses, it would take about half a month.

Two years later, it took only about four days to take the post car from Yan'an to Chengdu. Not to mention me, even these important civil and military officials of the Chinese Empire were deeply shocked. At the same time, they were deeply touched. After all, cement straight roads have been built between the counties and counties in Guanzhong, and they are also very clear about the convenience and durability of cement straight roads.

In the past, after a few heavy or heavy rains, labor service was required to be repaired. But now? The firmness and durability of cement straight roads made them understand that as long as they are careful care, there will be no problem in using them for more than ten or even a hundred years.

This is not over. The Minister of Transportation Warrior pointed and continued: "...It is expected that within five years, all counties will be able to connect to the cement straight road, making transportation in the areas under their jurisdiction extremely convenient. More importantly, the developed transportation network brings many benefits. First, it strengthens the empire's control over the local area. Second, developed transportation can make trade transactions faster and greatly reduce transportation costs. Third, the national postal system and transportation system can also gain huge benefits from it."

"Everyone, the benefits that transportation can bring are not just these. For example, if there is a war in Bashu, then if an army of 50,000 people is sent to suppress the rebellion, then at least 30,000 people need to transport supplies. If it takes more than one month, then the number of people will have to double."

"Now, for example, before, when we fought in Bashu, we only transferred fifty transport vehicles, three hundred horses, and one hundred drivers. It took half a month to transport 200,000 troops to Qipanguan for two months. Then, in Bashu, we recruited nearly 70,000 civilians to transport food, grass and supplies..." When we spoke of this, the warrior couldn't help but sigh. "If there was no cement straight road, every time the empire launched a large-scale war, it would affect the people of Guanzhong, and it might even continue the old stories of the previous dynasty."

I looked at these guys with shocked expressions and felt very proud. If I hadn't insisted, how could there be such a Guanzhong?

Qu Tutong stroked the long beard under his chin and sighed: "In the past, Yang Guang, the emperor of the previous dynasty, sent a million troops to the north, and the civil servants he used reached 700,000. Even if it was the third northern expedition to the north, and sent a total of 400,000 troops to the north, the civil servants he conquered reached 250,000."

"Three northern expeditions, the young and strong people in Shandong were almost summoned as soldiers and soldiers. In the end, the people of the Sui Dynasty were full of grievances and smoke and dust everywhere."

Li Jing smiled and said, "In the past, I also knew that cement straight roads were quite beneficial, but now I feel that its benefits are really something that all the people can benefit from it."
