The prosperity and prosperity of Jiangdong is well known all over the world.
But not many of us are from Jiangdong, so it’s useless no matter how nice the place is.
and……
At this moment, a soldier from Jiangdong sighed and said, "The Holy Commander doesn't know something. Although Jiangdong is rich, there are also many people. One acre of Jiangdong can produce as much food as two acres here."
, but the number of people eating may be three or four times more, and the taxes paid are even more... My hometown... Oh, I won't say it anymore."
The soldier complained, not expecting to be understood.
But surprisingly, Li Sheng nodded.
"Why don't I know something? This is the inner volume. Han Feizi wrote it clearly."
"You guys... still have to learn one thing. Whether it's Jiangdong or the frontier fortress, most of the time food is not enough."
"So...what to do?"
Li Sheng glanced at everyone and smiled.
"Children of Jiangdong, if you can't play anymore, you can find a way to survive in Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia is not only rich in food, but it doesn't even need to fertilize or water, and its output is even greater than that of Jiangdong!"
After Li Sheng said this, the soldier was stunned.
This...this seems to be a real way out...
For a moment, his eyes immediately turned red, "Thank you so much for your guidance, Holy Commander, I'll write a letter home right now!"
All the other soldiers also took a breath of air-conditioning.
It is easier to harvest food than Jiangdong. What kind of place is this, heaven????
However, Li Sheng didn't say much about this topic. He just said calmly, "We can talk about repairing books for the family after we settle down. Now that we have written them, there is no place to send them. Now, let's talk about the northwest first."
"And Northwest...hehe."
Li Sheng smiled slightly, "The way to survive in the northwest is naturally to find another Southeast Asia in the northwest."
"And Southeast Asia in the northwest is...yes, this is the place!"
Li Sheng scratched it with a wooden stick.
Everyone looked at it together.
The position of the strokes is found in the upper left corner of this giant cow!
A middle position.
It happens to form an almost perfect symmetry with Jiangdong's position.
"This place is called the Mediterranean Sea..." Li Sheng's eyes were deep, but there was a flame burning in the depth, "Our ultimate goal is naturally the Mediterranean Sea. But..."
"But the current conditions are not enough, and the prosperity of the country lies in the hands of these people." He said and drew a picture of Europe, "This place is called Europe, among which there is the great power of Rome. At present, the national power is no longer that of the Tang Dynasty, it is even better than that of the Tang Dynasty. The Mediterranean Sea
It’s its fundamental place, and we can’t get it in a hurry.”
"So how can we get Mediterranean food..."
"Yes, we are building a city here. Not only must we build a city..."
Li Sheng's tone was extremely firm, and he continued, "Our natural philosophy school in the Tang Dynasty will be established here. This kind of school will be a higher level than Chengxi Academy. I call it a university!"
"And with universities, industry can be established. With industry..."
"Are you still afraid that you won't be able to get food in exchange?"
"Not to mention how rich this place will be by then, it will not be easy compared to transportation hubs such as Xiangyang and Hangzhou!"
After Li Sheng finished speaking, the whole place was silent.
King Luo Bin, Ma Zhou and others...
Even more dumbfounded.
This plan is simply... unimaginable. Without this map, they, the scholars, would never be able to come up with it even if they tried for a lifetime!
but……
Let’s look at Li Sheng’s map.
This place... really has such potential!!
The surrounding soldiers were not dumbfounded. They jumped up in excitement.
Damn it, a bitter cold land in the north of the Great Wall, can actually be as wealthy as a big city like Xiangyang and Hangzhou?!
If everyone expands their territory here, wouldn't it be like...
Isn’t he the Zhou Yu Gongjin of the new era?
Deepen your cultivation in this place,
This plan is not only wonderful, it is like a dream.
dream!
In an instant, the mentality of all the soldiers was completely different.
In the end, everyone came to sacrifice their lives for the country, so there was nothing they could do about it.
Then, they actually... actually defeated the Turkic army, which was a bit interesting.
The purpose of marching further is to perform meritorious service and get rewards back home to show off.
but now……
This group of local heroes directly saw a bright and yellow future...
Do not ask!
Just ask and you will get rich!
This wave, this wave is the code of wealth!
Seeing that everyone was finally excited, Li Sheng also wiped his sweat.
Sure enough, the one with the strongest mobilization power is the wealth code...
Of course, it is not easy to establish a university and build a commercial corridor in this turbulent place in the northwest.
But then again, in later generations, the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal, Li Jiapo...
None of these places is under threat from the sea at any time.
When Great Britain competed with Spain and the Netherlands for maritime hegemony, these places were also turbulent.
Later, if we won the battle, wouldn’t the commercial value come?
It's not the same in another place.
Li Sheng has no doubt about the commercial potential here. If the heart of World Island and the transportation thoroughfares have no commercial potential, then there is no need to think about building anything else.
Just building a city here can also be used as a nail to completely nip in the cradle all the barbarian tribes in the entire northwest.
Can't we make good use of this?
Get started!
…
However, plans are plans, and building a city cannot be completed in two days, three days or five days.
Li Sheng needs cement.
Lots of cement!
Cement is in very short supply at the moment, but to say how precious it is is absolutely nonsense.
In short, a situation has arisen, that is, cement is now in the Central Plains. There is not enough for building water conservancy roads and the like everywhere, and the production capacity is not high.
The cost of transportation to the northern part of the Great Wall is huge, and it is unknown when the city will start to generate income after the city is built.
Li Sheng estimated that Li Er would definitely not dig into the treasury this time, so he did not intend to rush for success.
Now we just need to set up camp and build some traditional wooden houses with earth walls.
Then in the city itself, construction of cement firing kilns began.
but……
Next, although most of these three thousand people were invested in the construction of camps and cities,
But Li Sheng still did not forget to select a part of the team, a total of 500 people, to hunt and alert in all directions at any time, searching for the whereabouts of the Turks.
What makes Li Sheng a little disappointed is...
More than half a month passed after this.
The climate is getting colder and colder. At such high latitudes, where the altitude is not as low as the core area of the Pamir Plateau, it is even more cold.
Although during this period, I received a commendation edict from Chang'an, as well as thousands of kilograms of duck and goose down...
Can be used to make winter clothes.
But Li Sheng never found the whereabouts of the Turks.
After all, with the current manpower, the search scope is indeed limited.
But the good news is that the safari reconnaissance team sent by Li Sheng finally... found the remnants of Li Jing's troops!
