My Daming New Empire

Class theory needs to be maintained, but it must be unobstructed. Only in this way can Ming Dynasty maintain its centripetal force and rule stability.

After staying in Dezhou for half a month, Zhu Jianshen had a deep understanding of the details of Dezhou, the richest area in Dongzhou, and then went upstream from the Tongtian River to the heart of the North Continent of Dongzhou.

The Tongtian River is the Mississippi River of later generations. This is the economic lifeline of the North Continent of Dongzhou. Only by relying on the water transportation of the Tongtian River can the products of the North Continent of Dongzhou be smoothly transported to reduce consumption.

Due to the population, many areas of the North Continent of Dongzhou are still undeveloped, many fertile lands are still barren, dense forests are everywhere, and there are groups of wild animals.

However, this place is already full of vitality. The cotton in the south, the wheat in the north, and the annual grain output of Dongzhou mainland can already meet the needs of Dongzhou people for two years.

Therefore, the food price here is low, and the wine making industry is very developed.

Also because of the vastness of the land and sparse population, the demand for bicycles here is far less than that in Central Continent. Most families have horses, and if they go far, they can also take public transportation buses.

Because of the need for transportation, all the palaces in Dongzhou are now actively publicizing the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, hoping to build a car factory in Dongzhou.

When many uncles saw Zhu Jianshen, they always put the construction of car manufacturers at the forefront, and Zhu Jianshen also felt that Dongzhou's demand for cars far exceeded Zhongzhou's.

However, he wisely made no promises, only understood, not promised.

When summer came, he reached the Great Lakes region in the center of East Island.

The Great Lakes region is the earliest developed area in the United States in history. The surrounding areas here are rich in coal mines, iron mines, and other metal mines.

The convenient water transportation also makes the communication between various places here very convenient, and this is a real fertile farmland with a large number of animals.

Food, fur, minerals, and a relatively large population base make the development here faster than other regions.

In Qingzhou City, Anzhou City, Xuzhou City, Hanzhou City, Yuanzhou City, and Xuezhou City near the Great Lakes, the six princes have automatically formed an alliance to develop together.

The tractor factory built in Gyeongju City has already surpassed the local manufacturers in Daming, with an annual output of 15 tractors, but it can no longer meet the needs of the market.

Not counting other things, the scale of industrial development driven by this tractor factory alone can feed more than 50 people.

Seeing the boundless fertile fields on both sides after walking for half a month, and seeing the prosperous industry, Zhu Jianshen felt a little worried.

According to this speed of development, will East Continent surpass Central Continent one day?

If the development here is better than that in Zhongzhou, at that time, will these princes have the will to stand on their own?

But he didn't dare to tell anyone about this matter, he just secretly listened to Peng Shi.

Peng Shi was much more knowledgeable than Zhu Jianshen, and he knew the elegant meaning after hearing Xiange, so he directly presented a few statistics to make Zhu Jianshen feel relieved.

"Central Continent now has a population of 3000 million, while the North Continent of Dongzhou has less than [-] million. There are nearly a hundred universities in Central Continent, while there are less than [-] in Eastern Continent. More importantly, Dongzhou has the headquarters of Shinrikyo, It has the largest number of industry experts in the world, and its scientific and technological research has been ahead of Dongzhou for decades.

These factories in Dongzhou would not be able to produce normally without the technical support from Zhongzhou. As long as we firmly control the Truth Sect and the research projects of the major research institutes, let Zhongzhou always take the lead. Anyone, Cannot be a threat to Middle-earth. "

During this inspection tour, Zhu Jian deeply felt the impact of technology leadership on the political situation, which should be his greatest achievement.

In the past, he might have simply believed that the situation could be stabilized by controlling the army and the ministries of the imperial court. Now, he has fully realized the advantages of leading technology, and also deeply realized that using the Ministry of Internal Affairs to control trade and minerals has a great impact on the stability of the imperial court. benefit.

With this harvest, Zhu Jianshen truly realized the role of these two aspects, and Zhu Zhanji's purpose of letting Zhu Jianshen come out this trip was achieved.

The time came to April, Feng Dabao asked for a two-month leave with De Wangfu, and was preparing to organize his own wedding.

Their newly built house has now been completed, just waiting for decoration.

Feng Dabao is very satisfied with the new house.The low price in Dezhou City is not high, the place is huge, and the scenery is very good. A house built with two hundred silver dollars is not bad in Dezhou City.

On April 26, Feng Dabao and his parents, accompanied by Director Yang, boarded a cargo ship from Dezhou City to Hengduan Island.

Three days later, the merchant ship full of buffalo cubs docked at the port of Yaozhou City, Hengduan Island City.

Hengduan Island is listed in the court's roster, but its actual name is Yaozhou Prefecture.However, because it is long from east to west and narrow from north to south, it is just separated from the north and south continents of Dongzhou, so it was named Hengduan Island at the beginning.

This is also the Cuba of future generations, and the Caribbean Sea of ​​future generations. In this time and space, it has also become the Hengduan Sea.

The local climate is warm, suitable for the growth of rice, coffee, and sugarcane, and it can be regarded as a land of abundance.

Concubine Lan is highly respected in Daming, but she keeps a low profile.

When the kings divided the fiefs, for the first time, she asked for the North and South Islands (New Zealand) as the eldest son's fief.

For the second time, he asked for Hengduan Island as his fiefdom for his second son, King Yao.

This is different from other princes who want a fief on the mainland, and they are unwilling to have any disputes with any prince.

In the 24th year of Zhengtong, King Yao was entrusted to Hengduan Island when he became an adult. At this time, the Yang family had already been entrusted to this island.

With the early development of the Yang family, when King Yao was entrusted to the local area, the infrastructure here was much better than other areas.

But King Yao did not sit back and enjoy the success. With the support of Concubine Lan, he brought many craftsmen, vigorously developed coffee, sugar cane planting on the island, and built many factories.

Over the years, King Yao and the Yang family have cooperated tacitly. With joint efforts, Hengduan Island has been developed into a fertile land between the north and south continents of Dongzhou.

The cane sugar and coffee produced here are very popular commodities in Daming Central Continent.

Landed from Yaozhou City, did not stay here for long, Feng Dabao drove the earl car newly bought by Feng Laiwang, and drove all the way east.

The Yang family's fief is in a seaport in the southeast of the island, and was named Donghai City by the Yang family. This name comes from the family title.

East Sea City and Yaozhou City are one east and one west, which has driven the economic development of the island. Because the distance is far enough, and Yao Wang is willing to develop industries, there is no direct conflict with the Yang family who has been engaged in agriculture. The two sides cooperate very tacitly.

After arriving in Donghai City, Feng Dabao's family first found a hostel to live in, and then began to buy dowry gifts.

Before that, they had bought all kinds of gold and silver jewelry in Dezhou City. Although it was not embarrassing compared to the big family, it was the Feng family's best effort.

Yang Zhixun is a collateral branch of the Yang family. He has been in charge of the Yang family's planting for these years. His status in the family is not high, but he has made a lot of money.

Because his daughter's marriage failed, to him, he didn't care how much money the other party had, as long as the other party was practical and capable, with some support from his side, life would naturally not be bad.

He is very satisfied with this son-in-law, because the other party's family background is weak and has no background, although his own daughter said that he failed to kiss twice before.Even if you marry, you won't be rejected by your husband's family.

Everything went very smoothly. Although the dowry gift that the Yang family tried their best to buy was not luxurious, it was not shameful. To Liu Niang, face was already earned.

Especially Feng Dabao, who was originally just a stupid boy who just came to the city from the countryside, but after three months as a personal guard in De Wangfu, his vision and temperament have changed drastically.

This time he came to Hengduan Island, he showed calmness and generosity, and he was already very good-looking, no one could find the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.

After accepting the levy, he waited for a personal welcome.

Yang Zhixun already regarded Feng Dabao as his son-in-law, so before welcoming him in person, he specially called Feng Dabao, and the son-in-law Weng had some communication.

The Yang family has a large planting farm on Hengduan Island, where there is little flat land and it is difficult to develop mechanization, so there is a great demand for calves.

So by marrying Feng's family, he wanted to expand the scope of the pasture and provide the Yang family with calves.

After Feng Dabao entered Prince De's Mansion, his vision widened a lot, and he looked down on the ranch at home even more.
