One hundred thousand taels of silver to cross ten ships is equivalent to the toll of ten thousand taels for one ship. Such a high toll means that the ruthless Wan Lei dares to accept it. [b1 3kanwang/b high-quality update] However, The Japanese country in trouble also had to pay. If they did not pay, the Japanese troops in Korea would starve to death and freeze to death. If all these people died, Korea would fall into the hands of the Peking Army.
Of course, the Japanese were not stupid. The ten cargo ships that sailed to North Korea for the first time were all loaded with food. On the way back, they also transported back all the gold and silver they had looted from North Korea, and even transported back the Japanese troops in North Korea. Only part of them were left, and most of them were stationed along the Yalu River to guard against the invasion of the Peking Army.
After the Japanese army made these adjustments, the required military rations were reduced. Therefore, they only paid a toll once and no more fleets crossed the sea. In addition, in order to retaliate, the Japanese army forcibly closed the seaport and no longer paralleled the province of Beipei. There are business contacts, but Wan Lei has already expected and made arrangements, so this will not have much impact on Beipingxing Province.
Because Huayuan Company has entered places such as Ryukyu and Luzon not long ago. Although these small countries are not rich in silver, they still have some accumulation over the years, and they can still collect a lot in a short time. Moreover, these small countries also have some specialties. , such as spices and sugar, transporting them back can also improve people's livelihood.
In addition to maritime trade, land trade was also going on. Wan Lei succeeded in pacifying the Oara tribe and established a mutual market on the Mongolian Plateau. Many Oara tribe members suddenly transformed and became merchants, selling high-quality and low-price products produced in the Beipingxing Province. The goods were resold to Central Asia and West Asia, a new land trade route was opened, a steady flow of goods flowed out, and a steady flow of precious materials such as gold, silver, spices, and gems flowed in.
With a vast market, the nearly two million people in Beihang Province have unleashed strong creativity and productivity, producing millions of pieces of cloth, hundreds of thousands of tons of steel, nearly ten million tons of grain, and countless industries every year. Products, if converted into gross national product, are at least hundreds of millions of silver dollars, and the per capita annual income is as high as one hundred silver dollars.
Precisely because of their high incomes, many wealthy families have begun to invest in building new homes. Building materials such as cement, steel bricks, etc. have become in short supply, and construction workers are even more in short supply. Even if Wan Lei wants to build a new house, it is difficult to hire labor, and The labor cost is several times higher than the purchase price of building materials.
Although the cost is high, Wan Lei still has the financial resources to build a new house. He designed Xinhua Garden on the site of the Yuan Palace, covering an area of 2,000 square meters. The main building is a three-story small castle, except for a In addition to the lobby of the building, there are hundreds of rooms of various sizes.
Xinhua Garden can be said to be a standard "Prime Minister's Office". After it is completed, Wan Lei will work here, and many government departments will also be concentrated here. Moreover, Wan Lei will only live here temporarily. Once he retreats to the second line, this is The residence of the new Prime Minister.
To the left of Xinhua Garden, a taller building is being built. That is Xinxia Garden. It will be the auditorium of the parliament, so the building area is larger. The auditorium can accommodate thousands of members for meetings, and various small and medium-sized auditoriums are available. It is used for holding National Committee meetings and receiving foreign guests.
To the right of Xinhua Garden is a long row of buildings, which will be the headquarters of key departments such as the party, government, and military. In front of Xinhua Garden is a large square, where large-scale gatherings and celebrations are held, and it is usually open to the public.
Xinhua Garden was built by Wan Lei himself, but Xinxia Garden and the office buildings of government departments were all funded by the government. Fortunately, the Japanese country had just paid a "war compensation" of 100,000 taels of silver, and this money could be used just right.
Above this.
Early that morning, Wan Lei accepted Tie Xuan's invitation and went to the construction site to inspect. Due to the heavy snowfall and the low temperature, Wan Lei also put on thick cotton clothes and a cloak when going out, but the workers on the construction site were still in full swing.
Construction is going on. Since there are many new construction machines used on the construction site, the workers are not too tired, and the construction progress is very fast.
"According to the schedule, Xinhua Garden and Xinxia Garden will be completed by the end of this year. If we rush ahead of schedule, the decoration will be completed before the Chinese New Year and you can move in," Tie Xuan said.
"There's no rush. What we want is quality. These buildings must stand the test of time," Wan Lei said.
"Well, these are the face of our government. Quality comes first. They must be strong and durable, and they must be magnificent." Tie Xuan nodded and said: "My dear nephew, our Peking Army occupied Mongolia in the north and Liaodong in the east.
The area is not small anymore, and the officials below are all talking about when we will officially open the national title."
"Open a national number?" Wan Lei looked at Tie Xuan, and then he understood why this guy invited him out in the cold weather, but he thought for a while and said: "Don't rush it, we have to wait for a year or two.
"
"We still have to wait a year or two?" Tie Xuan frowned.
"Our Beiping Province seems to be prosperous now, and the Peking Army is also strong. However, once the country is established, the aggressiveness of the military and civilians will probably decrease, which is not good. In addition, after the establishment of the country, it will be the same as the Ming Dynasty.
As an enemy country, the future conflict between the two countries will not be conducive to reunification. Therefore, we should not establish this country for the time being. It will not be too late to establish it again when the overall situation is about to be decided."
"I'm afraid it will take a long time. The people below may not have the patience, especially the military."
"I will communicate with them on the Military Commission side. As for the government side, it is up to you to work with them. But one thing is for sure, we are not far from founding a country, and the country we will build will be larger than the Ming Dynasty.
Great, the country will be stronger than the Ming Dynasty, and the light of civilization will shine on the world forever."
"Well, that's good. My nephew said this and I feel confident. Those people below, seeing that they have only used troops against the north in the past year and rarely expanded the territory, they all think that the people above us are complacent. It is inevitable that
I have some opinions." Tie Xuan said, in fact, compared to last year, the Peking Army really did not have many major military operations this year, and there was no encouragement from victory. Of course, the people below were a little disappointed.
"Haha, a country cannot only be victorious militarily, but must also make achievements in politics, economy and diplomacy. We have not used many weapons this year because we have handled diplomacy well. Now the overall layout has been completed, maybe next year
It’s a year of good harvest.” Wan Lei smiled slightly.
"Haha, it's good to have a good harvest. It's best to have a good harvest every year." Tie Xuan also laughed.
"Brother Tie, our infrastructure construction in Beiping City is almost completed, but the water supply system is still not completed. I need to trouble you to worry about it in the future."
"Yes, our city of Beiping now has a population of more than 500,000. The water supply alone requires hundreds of thousands of cubic meters per day. Just getting water from nearby is not enough. I have discussed it with Kuai Fu and plan to build a large-scale water supply in the northeast of the city. The reservoir can, firstly, divert water into the city, and secondly, it can be used for irrigation. However, the reservoir project is too big and requires hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, so it is really difficult to raise it at the moment."
"Well, building a reservoir is a really big project, and I can't rush it at the moment. Let's do this. You can send people to conduct on-site inspections several times, draw up a plan, and calculate a detailed budget. I will be responsible for the fundraising. "
"My dear nephew, I'm sure I can get these hundreds of thousands of silver dollars. I'm so worried about this." Tie Xuan smiled again. In terms of money-raising ability, Wan Lei can be said to be pure and pure. This time In the past few years, he has scraped no less than one million taels of silver from the Ming Dynasty, Japan and Korea, and he can be said to be an expert at scraping money.
"Money is not a trivial matter. The key is labor. The biggest investment in such a large-scale project is manpower. My opinion is to wait until next year when our army can get prisoners of war to start the project. This way we can save money."
"Okay, let's do the preliminary work on this project first, and then let it go after the preliminary work is completed." Tie Xuan also nodded, "The most important thing now is to build the road. The Pingliao Railway will soon be built to Jinzhou, and it is expected to be built to Liaoyang next year. .While we are free now, shouldn’t we go over and take a look?”
"It's early December, I can't leave now."
The Pingliao Railway is much longer than the Pingbaohe Railway, and the terrain is much more complex, so the construction period is also longer. Fortunately, there are no big mountains on this line. Otherwise, it would take more time and money to drill a tunnel. After all, the North The parallel provinces still have insufficient manpower.
The current population of Liaodong is about 700,000, most of which are immigrants. 350,000 are concentrated in Liaoyang engaged in steel mining and smelting, so the railway is only built to Liaoyang for the time being. As for other areas, the land is vast and sparsely populated, so only The dirt road is used for carriages and horses. In the future, if there is enough spare capacity, it will not be too late to expand the railway.
While Wan Lei was chatting with Tie Xuan, an elite loyal guard came quickly and whispered a few words in his ear. He frowned and said to Tie Xuan: "I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
"You are busy, so don't worry about me." Tie Xuan was not surprised, because Wan Lei was busy with military and state affairs, and he only managed the people. He rarely interfered with military matters.
Not to mention, what made Wan Lei rush back to deal with was the military affairs. Battle reports came from Shandong. The Ming army and the Korean army had a battle in Jinan Prefecture. The Korean army was outnumbered and lost 20,000 troops. The troops had to retreat. From then on, the North Korean army fell into a passive position. Li Fangyuan was unable to defeat the enemy, so he sent troops to Beiping City to ask for help from the Beiping Army.
Wan Lei despised the North Korean army, who was always asking for help. However, he despised the North Korean army. As a "friendly army" that weakened the Ming army's combat power, Wan Lei did not want them to be defeated so early. So even if it was mud, he would force them up the wall.
No, as soon as Wan Lei saw the envoys from the DPRK, without saying a word, he gave them a large number of ordnance for defending the city, as well as 10,000 stones of food, enough for them to defend the city for one or two people. Month. As for what the war situation will be like in one or two months, it's hard to say, and Wan Lei won't think so long-term for them.
In addition, Wan Lei has also attracted hundreds of thousands of refugees from Shandong to enrich Liaodong. It can be said that the Korean army has almost completed its waste utilization value, and Wan Lei will not pay for this war for a long time.
, this is how waste is used.
