Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Outside Nurgan City, endless battleships docked at the harbor.

Within the city, all industries are flourishing.

Northern Xinjiang doesn’t have many things, it just has a lot of resources.

In just three years, Temple Street has once again regained its former prosperity, and is even better.

Dry goods store, lumber store, medicine store, fur store... These are the shops where Ming merchants come to purchase local specialties.

There are glass shops, daily necessities shops, tobacco shops, agricultural tools shops... and more, but they are shops selling the industrial output of the Ming Dynasty.

The entire Temple Street New City has become the economic center of the three provinces of northern Xinjiang.

Although it is a little colder than the three eastern provinces, it is much warmer than Hongwu Province.

Therefore, the Beihai (the name of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk in the Ming Dynasty) near Temple Street was crowded with warships.

Half of the warships owned by Gong Yonggu and Liu Wenbing are stationed here.

Except for a few soldiers who take turns to guard the ship and look after the house, most of the soldiers have been stationed in the city.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were the most popular customers of various shops because of their ample military pay.

"What are you arguing about?"

Gong Yonggu walked into the Governor's Mansion with a smile.

The two guys, who were so angry at each other just now, hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Chu Dazhuang was young and sharp-tongued. Without waiting for Ding Nan to explain the situation, he said first:

"Prince-in-law, I think the reason why we are not attracting enough people this year is because the support for merchants is not large enough.

The scenery here is beautiful and can be built according to the tourist area mentioned by His Majesty.

What's more, by the end of next year at the latest, our southbound railway will be able to connect the three northeastern provinces and directly reach Beijing.

According to the news in the Di newspaper, the railway from Handu to Beijing will be simplified and opened to traffic in the autumn of this year.

Therefore, I think that as long as our direct railway to the inland is opened, people from the mainland who want to come and visit can make a round trip in only ten days.

This is a greater advantage than Nanyang!

After all, compared to the wind and waves on the sea, there is no risk at all by taking the train.

This is our advantage!

As long as tourism is revitalized and we attract people to settle down, wouldn’t we get twice the result with half the effort? "

Ding Nanlai glared angrily and blew his beard:

"You kid, what are you yelling about?

Population is the foundation of everything. Only by attracting population will people be willing to invest!

If there is no population and people have too much money, they will be in a panic, so they just want to play with it! "

Gong Yonggu did not comment and asked Chu Dazhuang:

"Then if the population is insufficient and the merchants attracted have slow profits, what should we do?"

"hey-hey!"

Chu Dazhuang laughed mischievously, his eyes as big as mung beans darting around:

“Prince-in-law, that’s a good thing!

Anyway, we only took out the land and didn’t invest a single coin.

If businessmen cannot get returns, they will naturally find ways to advertise in the mainland to attract customers.

In this way, aren't we reaping the benefits? "

"You kid!"

Gong Yonggu smiled bitterly.

This guy is waiting here!

Chu Dazhuang has grown up!

Gong Yonggu's eyes flashed with a hint of approval.

First lure the businessmen, and then let the businessmen help them promote it, this...

The idea of ​​attracting people was achieved without spending a penny.

This guy is such a thief!

This method is really good...

But, he has a better way!

"You two, stop arguing."

Gong Yonggu waved his hand and walked toward the room.

Ding Nanlai and Chu Dazhuang, who were one position behind Gong Yonggu, looked at each other and smiled.

Just know!

They just know!

The Prince Consort must have thought of a solution long ago.

As soon as I opened the door, a rush of hot air hit my face.

Chu Dazhuang quickly closed the glass door to prevent the air conditioning from entering.

The fireplace was glowing red, and the people in the room were so hot that they wished they could wear unlined clothes.

As soon as Gong Yonggu entered the house, his cold hands and feet felt warm, and there was a hint of sweat on his back.

He hurriedly started to unbutton his shirt.

Ding Nan came forward and helped Gong Yonggu take off his military coat.

Chu Dazhuang squatted by the fireplace and filled in a few more firewood to make the stove more prosperous.

In Yongle Province, which is full of virgin forests, there is no need to worry about firewood for heating.

Coal is everywhere here.

However, coal is easily poisoned, so the fireplaces in Northern Xinjiang only burn firewood.

Gong Yonggu took off his heavy thickened military coat and cotton-padded jacket, then took out a map from the bookshelf and called the two of them over:

"Look, this is the gold and silver mine we have discovered in the past three years."

These data have long been remembered by Chu Dazhuang and Ding Nanlai.

What don't you understand?

The two of them stretched their heads in cooperation.

Gong Yonggu pointed to the icon on the map that marked the gold and silver mine:

"When I return to Handu this year, I will ask Your Majesty to publicize the three provinces of Northern Xinjiang in newspapers.

I will publish the news in the newspaper and say that there is gold and silver everywhere here. "

Gong Yonggu punched the map with an inexplicable smile on his face:

“I want the entire mainland to set off a craze for gold mining in Northern Xinjiang!

This thing has been tinkered with, and it has worked harder than us to promote it a hundred or a thousand times, and it still works! "

"In the newspaper?"

Chu Dazhuang and Ding Nanlai looked at each other and saw shock on each other's faces.

"Da Ming Royal Daily" and "Da Ming Royal Evening News" can be said to be one for each person.

According to the news in Di Bao, the circulation of these two newspapers has stabilized at more than 5 million copies in a single day.

In other words, as long as it is not too remote in a mountainous area, almost everyone can read the newspaper.

If the news is published in the newspaper...

So, do they still have to worry?

Coming to Northern Xinjiang to pan for gold will definitely become a must-choice for everyone who dreams of getting rich!

"As expected of the Prince Consort!

Your skills are so good! "

Chu Dazhuang and Ding Nanlai praised him in unison.

Gong Yonggu waved his hand:

"You stay at home. Although we have killed the Rakshasa people, there must be someone guarding the home.

I give you a task - to post some reward notification lists on the notice wall outside the Governor's Mansion.

Don't do it in the same way, but give people a persistent desire to explore.

For example, so-and-so was originally poor, but because he took a step ahead and came to explore northern Xinjiang and found a piece of nugget gold somewhere, he became rich and opened a forest farm here, and he has been popular ever since.

I remember, this was this summer, right? "

Chu Dazhuang nodded:

"That kid is a hard-working man from Shandong. He went north because he couldn't survive anymore.

After discovering nugget gold, he opened a lumberyard in Khabarovsk and has now hired more than a dozen workers to lumber! "

"Look, isn't this a ready-made excuse for publicity?"

Gong Yonggu laughed loudly:

“What we have to do is spread the word that if anyone hears the news, they should go there and check it out.

How many fatal dangers did he experience along the way, and he almost died several times...

However, he never gave up and wanted to get rich.

Finally, a big gold mine was discovered.

After reporting the matter, I was rewarded by the baron. "
