Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 949

[Chapter 949]

In the quiet meeting hall, Zhao Xu’s voice was clear and passionate.

When the ministers heard this, they couldn’t help feeling for a while.

Wang Ying bowed and said, “Yes, Your Highness, I will send someone to deliver the bullets when I get back.”

Zhao Xu nodded, calming down the excitement caused by the metal bullets and the hand-cranked machine gun.

After chatting about some military affairs, Zhao Xu turned his attention to Liu Fu and asked about the progress of various projects in Dasong.

“Returning to Your Highness, the Yanjin Railway has just been completed. After the test, the entire line will be open to traffic. The Yanjin Railway goes south to Sizhou, and the extension project to Qinzhou is also in progress. In addition, the railway going south to Songcheng is also under construction. , and now we have arrived in Yicheng…” Liu Fu dragged a booklet.

When King Yan came back, he would definitely ask about the internal affairs, so he naturally prepared in advance.

“In terms of water transport, after the civilian shipyard was put into operation, the Minister of Commerce purchased the first batch of 500 transport steamships from the shipyard, and prepared to build government-run inland river and sea transport firms to enhance the efficiency of domestic transportation and promote overseas trade. ”

In terms of industry, this month, nine counties and 18 counties reported the formal completion of the planned workshop area and put it into production, including the characteristic industries of each state and county. For example, four new coal mines were added in the three counties of Jinzhou, and Lai County in Qizhou Add a new gold mine…” Liu Fu continued to read like a few treasures.

Zhao Xu listened carefully. The so-called characteristic industries are industries based on the different resource advantages of different regions.

Areas rich in coal resources are naturally coal mines, and areas rich in iron ore are naturally iron mines.

Where there is a lot of quartz sand, large glass factories and so on are built.

In this way, the manpower and material resources consumed when allocating resources can be reduced.

“For the construction of Jiangnan’s industry, I ordered the northern states and the Jiangnan states to help each other one-on-one, so as to rebuild Jiangnan as soon as possible.” Speaking of this, Liu Fu stopped and looked at Zhao Xu.

Since it was his own decision, he didn’t know whether King Yan agreed or not.

“Very good.” Zhao Xu spat out two words.

When he won the counties of Yanzhou, he wanted other counties to follow the model of Yan County.

Liu Fu has carried forward this model.

Hearing this, Liu Fu exhaled and continued to report other matters, “In terms of education, according to statistics, the number of students entering the public school has reached 1.6 million, but due to the large number of public schools, there is a shortage of teachers.”

“In order to make up for it.” Insufficient, according to His Royal Highness, I have ordered the Department of Education to urgently set up normal evening schools in various counties to train a group of teachers who master mathematics, chemistry, physics and other subjects. A regular normal university is also under construction, and there are still requests from His Highness. Key universities in various counties are also under construction, and some campuses will be completed next summer.”

Zhao Xu nodded lightly, signaling Liu Fu to continue.

“In terms of agriculture, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and peppers have been promoted very smoothly in Jiangbei. Many counties have cooperated with local people to establish planting demonstration areas. The overall scale is considerable. As for traditional rice and wheat, due to the use of steam forklifts to dig The ditches have been flooded, and bad fields have turned into good ones. Tomorrow’s income increase is certain.”

“Also, with the help of steam tractors, the number of cultivated farmlands has increased by 30% this year. If it continues, Dasong’s acres will be very surplus “Liu Fu read this, his face was full of joy.

Farming is the foundation of the country, and he is most happy to see the growth of acres.

Next, Liu Fu talked about the construction of the wired power station and other matters.

The introduction lasted half an hour.

However, neither Zhao Xu nor the ministers felt bored, but all looked excited.

Because, this is the great ode that fascinates them.

“Everything is developing in a good direction. Because of this, we must resolutely protect the hard-won development achievements, and we must not allow the flames of war to reignite on the land of Dasong. The army must take on the heavy responsibility in this regard!” Zhao Xu squeezed Fist, looking at Chang Wei and other generals.

There is no doubt that a fact is that the prerequisite for development must be guaranteed by force.

Otherwise, no matter how brilliant the construction is, it will be smashed to pieces by the enemy.

What he implied was naturally the current siege of Da Song by foreign enemies.

“Your Highness, the general requests to go to Yongzhou to sit in the town in person, and will never let the enemy cause chaos and damage the development of Dasong.” Chang Wei said solemnly.

For him, the only place where things might go wrong right now is Yongzhou.

He wanted to go a long time ago, but King Yan didn’t come back, he needed to preside over the overall situation in Yanzhou.

Now that King Yan is back, he can rest assured.

It is enough for King Yan to make overall arrangements in Yancheng.

The wired power station in Wangfu is connected to everywhere.

Except that the south cannot directly reach Jiaozhou and Yunzhou, the northern border can basically be directed directly through wired power stations.

“Okay.” Zhao Xu agreed.

Even though Da Song was able to overwhelm the opponent in terms of guns and artillery.

But this time the opponent mobilized far more troops than Da Song.

According to the current information they have.

Jiaozhi gathered 200,000 troops, Pyuman gathered 300,000 troops, Nanzhang and Funan were weak, but they also raised 50,000 and 80,000 troops respectively.

There are sixty-three troops in the south alone, and this does not include the troops of Tianzhu and the Western Land Alliance that may support at any time.

As for the line from Tubo to Ningjindusi, the most important thing is naturally the strength of Ashur and Mule Hongzhen.

In order to destroy Dasong in this siege, Ashur and Mule Hongzhen went crazy.

When Ashur was wounded, a large number of Tubo serfs were recruited, and Murray Hongzhen sent Beidi children and women to the battlefield.

And this also allowed Beidi to immediately rebuild the four king’s tents that he destroyed.

Together with the Ashur Department, they have the ability to invest at least fourteen king’s tents in the Hetao Plain.

In addition, there is the Russian Expeditionary Army hidden behind them.

This army of 30,000 people will inevitably participate in this war.

Therefore, this war must not be neglected.

I also chatted with the ministers about military affairs and government affairs, and it was noon.

Zhao Xu went to the Wuji Palace with the ministers and hosted a banquet with Zhao Heng.

In the afternoon, he returned to the palace again.

When they arrived at the dormitory, Yang Susu was coming out of the house and almost bumped into him.

Seeing that it was Zhao Xu, Yang Susu said angrily, “The concubine prepared lunch and waited for His Royal Highness to come down. I never thought that His Highness went to Wuji Palace again. The food is cold now.”

Zhao Xu smiled playfully when he heard this, “It’s okay, my king didn’t If you are full, you can eat more.”

Yang Susu thought it was true, shook her head, and said to Feng’er who was standing beside her, “Feng’er, please warm up your Highness.” Feng’er was about to leave when he

heard the words, but Zhao Xu stopped him suddenly and listened He said to Yang Susu, “I don’t want to eat these vulgar things, I want to eat something beautiful.”

For more than a month, he lived the life of a monk.

“Yeah.” Yang Susu blushed all the way to her neck.

Before she could react, she was picked up by Zhao Xu…

Half an hour later, Yang Susu’s weary voice sounded inside, “His Royal Highness is fierce, and the concubine can’t handle it anymore. I’d better go find Feng’er and Luan’er.” Well, it can be regarded as both rain and dew.”

Zhao Xu’s giggles suddenly came from the sleeping hall.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the soft voices of Feng’er and Luan’er came from the side hall connected to the sleeping hall…
