Dominate Marvel

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal, which was beneficial to the future, but it was of no benefit at the time. Instead, it accelerated the demise of the Sui Empire.

In the current Daxia Empire, whether it is the construction of the transportation system, the expansion of the education system, or even the immigration policy and the deployment of tens of millions of slaves, the scale is larger than the construction of the Grand Canal.

Of course, the situation Yang Guang faced at that time cannot be compared with now. No one held Ying Yi back, and no one dared to hold him back. He holds in his hands the incomparable mystery of Yuan Qi, endless food and more manpower and material resources.

Everything is because Ying Yi has the foundation of Yuan Qi's plan.

The biggest limitation at the moment is manpower. Yuan Qi's plan is not a panacea, or in other words, there is no way to solve the problem of manpower needs yet.

Yuanqi is very powerful, but it needs to be made of gold and yuan alloy. The preparation of gold-yuan alloy requires a large amount of raw materials of gold, silver, copper and iron. In the six months since the founding of the People's Republic of China alone, the consumption of basic raw materials of gold, silver, copper and iron has exceeded ten times that recorded by the previous Ming Dynasty at its peak.

Recycling private gold, silver and copper is one of them, and the fundamental thing is to expand the scale of mining and smelting. Here, a lot of manpower is required.

The people were divided into fields, and each household had insufficient labor at its disposal, so it was difficult to support the construction of the empire in this regard.

As for some industries, Ying Yi does not plan to involve slaves for the time being.

The ministers worked together and everyone had their own opinions. Finally, they were combined to form three interlocking suggestions.

First, encourage fertility. There is no hesitation about this question.

The territory of the empire is now extremely vast, and the military continues to expand - the Zhengjiu Division of the Northwest Theater Command has moved to Muxizhou and is eyeing Mobei. As long as Ying Yi gives an order, he can launch an attack on the Mobei Wala people at any time. All-out attack. In addition to the all-out attack, it can be said that small-scale conquests of Oara are being carried out at any time - plundering people, cattle and sheep, and slowly expanding the territory.

The Southwest Theater has been stationed on the Yunnan border for half a year. Like the Northwest Theater, it is also slowly but surely developing towards South Vietnam.

The Liaodong Theater also did not lag behind. After conquering the Korean Peninsula, it continued to pursue the remnants of the Donglu to the north, and then north.

The Jiangnan Theater has also moved to Guangdong, which mirrors the Southwest Theater. It only needs Ying Yi's order to conquer South Vietnam.

The Navy never lags behind. With Shandong and Taiwan as the core in the north and south, the two major naval theaters gradually melted the Daxia Sea Territory and began to contact Japan and the western barbarians. There is no doubt that a naval battle will break out in the near future.

The vast territory that will continue to be developed requires more Zhuxia people to occupy. The population of more than 100 million is far from meeting Ying Yi's requirements. Encouraging business will be an unshakable national policy for a long time to come.

Second, increase encouragement for business. For example, as Ying Yi said at the previous meeting, people can lease land beyond their means to businessmen. The more prosperous the business, the more ways people can obtain benefits, and they will not be so strict about land, which will help release labor force.

Third, continue to expand the size of slaves. At present, almost all the barbarians and barbarians that have been a problem for generations around the empire have been destroyed, which has increased the number of free laborers in the empire to more than ten million. But this is not enough. We must continue to expand and continue to plunder more free labor.

The Oara people in Mobei, the Mughals west of the Western Regions, the Shendu people south of Tibet, the indigenous people on the South Vietnam Peninsula, the indigenous peoples of the Nanyang Islands, and even the Japanese country. They are all goals.

Fourth, Yuan Qidian has accelerated the research progress and added new research projects - more types of transport tanks and civilian derivatives of ships; special components and equipment for mineral mining and smelting; new models of more biased alloy materials and more types of engineering components, etc.

The research on more types of transport tanks and ships is to gradually popularize them among the people. The greater the capability of the tool, the more labor is liberated.

The mining and smelting of minerals has been an old method before, and the labor efficiency is extremely low. Once the special equipment for mining and smelting minerals is developed, the efficiency can be greatly improved, the scale of raw material production can be increased, the utilization rate of manpower can be increased, and the production of gold and yuan alloys can be increased to promote various constructions of the empire.

As for the development of new types of biased alloy materials and more types of engineering components, it stems from the construction issues of the cross-river bridge. Whether it is the original Type A gold alloy or the later developed lighter Type B gold alloy, its unit mass is still a problem for the construction of cross-river bridges.

After all, any bridge pillar is dozens of feet long and at least three feet in diameter. As far as Type B gold alloy is concerned, a bridge pillar of this size would weigh up to 70,000 to 80,000 kilograms. Although it is much lighter than steel, it is still not something that can be pried by humans.

Therefore, the research on new types of alloy materials that are lighter while maintaining the same or even higher strength must be put on the agenda. And more types, such as lifting components, are also indispensable.

"New alloys and new elements have their own worries in the Yuanqi Palace." Ying Yi concluded: "In terms of population growth and promotion of commerce, the Pastoral Council cannot relax. This is a long-term strategy for a long time. The Imperial Court must The relevant laws will be improved accordingly, and there should be no loopholes in this aspect."

"In terms of increasing manpower, increasing the number of slaves is the fastest way. First, we should mainly plunder the South Vietnamese natives and Shendu people. The Military Aircraft Office will first make a combat plan against Shendu and South Vietnam, and the Pastoral Council will be ready to receive slaves. , and be prepared to fully bring the pioneering land under your control."

"The age limit for men is fifteen to forty, and the age limit for women is ten to thirty. Male slaves are sent to slave labor camps, and female slaves are sold to the public."

"Currently, there are Taishi and Yidi plunderers in South Vietnam, Nanyang and Shendu. First find out the power situation in Shendu and South Vietnam, and then improve the battle plan."

"However, there won't be any major military action for the time being. We will mainly focus on small-scale development. We will discuss this matter after the main road system is fully opened. The Chuitian Pavilion Military Law Department and the Military Aircraft Administration Zan Painting Department will take note of my words. Let Zhou Li, Zhang Shi and Qian Yue figure it out and don't let me down."

Finally, Ying Yi said: "Everyone, please stay and have dinner with me."

Not long after, wine and food were served in the imperial dining room, and more than ten monarchs and ministers ate in the imperial study.

Before the banquet ended, Zheng Yunzhi suddenly thought of something and said: "The empire has been established, but your majesty's harem is empty, which is inconsistent with etiquette. Let us use the draft to enrich your majesty's harem, and ask your majesty to choose a date for the wedding to bring peace to the world."

Upon hearing this, Ying Yi smiled and said, "Taishan has the final say."

It's indeed time for the wedding. It has been more than three years since Henan. Zi Niang has also become a graceful girl, and her original promise should be fulfilled.

As for the draft, Ying Yi doesn't care.
