Daming Military Empire

Chapter 413 Development Planning
Zhu Cijiong's harvest in the Mughal Empire is not limited to the above, and there is another major harvest that cannot be ignored, that is, the land under the name of the Mughal Empire's royal family, which accounts for nearly half of the territory of the Mughal Empire. Specifically How big it is, it is really hard to calculate, in short, it is a huge wealth.

How to deal with these lands, is it distributed to all civilians in vain?Zhu Cijiong is not so generous. The annual income of these lands is quite astonishing even if they only grow grain. What's more, there are many economic crops that can be grown, and the income is even more astonishing!
As for the farmers who cultivate the land, this is also easy to handle. Not all the civilians in the Mughal Empire participated in the riots. There are many who are bold, who rob a lot, and who don’t have to worry about food and drink for several lifetimes; There are plenty of people who dare not rob, the poor jingle, and the hungry croak. These people can't let them starve to death, if they really starve to death, they should rebel again.

It's just right now, no money, it's okay, sign the deed of sale, sell yourself to the Daming Royal Xinglong Company, to ensure that you have food every day, but you have to work, you have to farm, if you grow more, you will be full, and if you grow less, you will be full. Eat half full.

After earning so much money and shearing so much wool, it is time to consider the development of the Mughal Empire. After all, this will be the territory directly under the Ming Dynasty in the future. We can't keep them poor and clinking. This is not conducive to stability and unity. It is even more detrimental to the overall development of Daming in the future.

Zhu Cijiong is not such a stingy person either. He would not do such a thing after making money. He decided to spend at least [-] million taels of silver to promote the economic development of the Mughal Empire.

How to promote economic development?This Zhu Cijiong already has a lot of experience. First of all, it is natural to build roads. The so-called "If you want to get rich, build roads first." The roads of the Mughal Empire are much worse than those of the Ming Empire. Each province has to be like the Ming Empire. One million taels is definitely not enough. He directly allocated 100 million taels to each province to build a road transportation network.

Fifteen provinces, 3000 million taels at a time, so big that Cheng Guoxiang, the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, almost dropped his jaw. Fortunately, the money does not need to be allocated from the treasury, but by the Royal Nikko Bank of Ming Dynasty. Just send the money.

Of course, roads alone are not enough, there must be railways. The convenience of railways is like a myth in this era. With railways, it is many times more convenient whether it is going out or doing business. Good example, he's so used to trains that he can't even bother to go to Delhi without them!
Although the construction of railways at this time is not as costly as later generations, it is not a small amount to use railways to connect such a large territory of the Mughal Empire. He directly invested 2000 million taels in the Daming Royal Machinery Group, and built it with great efforts. Railroad tracks, trains, build as many as you can!
He also allocated 1000 million taels to the Liao army to repair, work hard, and take 30 captives to repair it crazily, let them eat enough, and repair the railways throughout the Mughal Empire. Give them back their freedom and let them go back to Monan!

Of course, the convenience of domestic transportation alone is not enough. In this era, if you want to make a lot of money, you still need to do maritime trade. However, the Mughal Empire did not have a decent port, and bulk goods were basically traded in Goa. Although Daming and Portugal are hard-core allies, Zhu Cijiong doesn't want the money to be earned by Portugal for nothing.

Therefore, he decided to build a modern port in Dhaka and Calcutta in the east, and Mumbai and Karachi in the west to communicate with overseas countries and develop maritime trade. This is an investment of more than 1000 million taels.

In addition, the infrastructure has been built, and you must have products to sell. According to the foundation of the Mughal Empire and the development needs of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cijiong decided to vigorously plant cash crops in the Mughal Empire.

For example, the spices of the Mughal Empire are very famous. The European powers even thought that the spices were all produced in the Mughal Empire. In this era of lack of seasoning, spices are the best seasonings, so there is no need to worry about sales. Therefore, Zhu Cijiong plans to vigorously promote the cultivation of spices in the Mughal Empire, especially the land under the name of the royal family. At least half of the spices must be planted. He wants to monopolize the entire spice market in the world!
Cotton is also a good economic crop. With the development of the textile industry in Ming Dynasty, the demand for cotton is increasing, and there is no need to worry about the market when it is grown.

The next step is mineral development. The iron ore reserves of the Mughal Empire are quite rich. It can follow the example of Monan and build several primary iron smelting plants in iron ore-intensive areas to process iron ore into iron ore. The ingots are then transported to Daming for further processing.

In addition, the gold reserves of the Mughal Empire are actually very rich, but they seem to be reluctant to dig, and always buy gold from other countries. Zhu Cijiong is not reluctant, dig, dig, dig as much as you can That's all money!

This is the end of the economic development plan, and if it develops further, it will be all kinds of processing industries. Zhu Cijiong doesn't want the development here to be stronger than that of Daming. They should have other ideas when they have more money. trouble.

After the infrastructure and primary processing industries of various raw materials are established, it is no problem for the common people here to have enough food and clothing, and this is enough.

Finally, Zhu Cijiong was also very dissatisfied with the weak defense of the Mughal Empire. There are only a few cities in such a large territory.

He also allocated 100 million taels to each province. Not to mention more, the capitals of each province and the cities of each state capital must at least be built. This will not only help defend against foreign invasion, but also make it difficult for civilians to rebel. The garrisons from all over the city were guarding the city. Once the guns and artillery were set up, it was almost impossible for civilians with kitchen knives and hoes to break through.

With so much investment, Zhu Cijiong believes that all civilians should be able to survive the difficult period of the past six months. You must know that various infrastructure constructions require a lot of manpower. Still edible.

If you are lazy without food, then go starve to death, no one can save you!
After his plan, in the next six months, no one in the Mughal Empire really starved to death, which is simply a miracle.

You know, the Mughal Empire went through great chaos and then wars. Under normal circumstances, at least half of them would starve to death. The change of dynasty before the Ming Dynasty is a good example. Sometimes, there are not even one out of ten civilians!

During the British colonial rule, the Mughal Empire was not much better. At that time, there was only a tsunami in Bangladesh that flooded part of the farmland. As a result, nearly 300 million people starved to death at one time!

It has to be said that Zhu Cijiong's planning this time was quite timely. It not only kept most of the civilians from starving to death, but also laid a solid foundation for future colonial rule. Since then, the Mughal Empire has slowly disappeared in the long river of history. In, never surfaced again!
