Volume 1 Chapter 201 Comprehensive Development
"I now have two important things for you to worry about. The first is to immediately move immigrants and troops to Mobei after taking over the land!
I want you to divide the entire Mobei into two parts. The first part will be turned into pastures. Domesticate cattle, sheep and war horses on a large scale. And reclaim the entire Mobei wasteland for me. In the short term, I don't ask for rice or sorghum to be planted, as long as grass can grow in the land!"
"The second thing is to immediately integrate the entire firearms workshop and move it to Mobei for me. I will allocate a piece of land in Mobei to research and develop and manufacture firearms for me. You can make the specific arrangements yourself. Do you understand?"
Zhu Qiyu's heart sank when he heard this. The matter was of great importance at this moment. He felt that the burden on his shoulders was extremely heavy. He immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
Xiang Yun nodded in satisfaction and said, "With your wisdom, you must know how important the stability of the Mobei region is to the long-term strategy of the Great Sun Dynasty. I hope you will think twice before you act."
The reason why firearms workshops were set up in various places was because they were afraid that such weapons would spread and endanger their lives.
But now Xiang Yun is not afraid anymore, because with his current level of cultivation, even the Big Sun Cannon cannot hurt him, and bullets cannot even penetrate his skin. His whole body is protected by the Golden Dragon Source Energy all the time!
Without the worry about lives, there is no need to keep hiding things like firearms any longer. They must be brought to the public eye. Doing so will greatly improve the efficiency of weapons manufacturing!
The land of Mobei is vast and boundless, with the endless Qili Mountain behind it as a natural protective barrier, so it is best to use Mobei as the strategic arsenal of the Great Sun Dynasty!
Not only can the newly developed weapons be tested without restraint, but it also saves a large amount of land resources within the Great Sun Dynasty.
So from every aspect, Mobei is the place he must fight for!
As for these uncontrollable beasts such as desert wolves and wasteland elephants, they are just icing on the cake for the Great Sun Dynasty and are dispensable.
After Zhu Qiyu left, Xiang Yun thought of something else and clapped his hands, saying, "No, I must make something like a car. Otherwise, in this world that is countless times larger than the Earth, relying solely on soldiers' legs and horses to travel, even if I fight until I'm old, I may not be able to conquer the entire world!"
Xiang Yun quickly drafted another memorial, stating in it what oil was, and asked Zhu Qiyu to send people to various parts of the dynasty to dig wells in search of it.
He also drew models of various gears, the basic principles of engine operation, and other small parts, and had them all sent to Peng Ying, asking him to study cars in detail!
The day when oil is discovered will be the day when the car is manufactured!
Xiang Yun wants to ensure that the entire Great Sun Dynasty, whether in agriculture, military or industry, develops comprehensively at the same time!
The thing that is most in short supply in this world is talent. The number of people who have ascended the throne of the Sun Dynasty alone is twice as much as the population of the great Chinese nation on Earth in the previous life!
This is also the reason why once a war breaks out, there are always millions of troops!
The world is big and there are many people, all of whom are labor force. Xiang Yun doesn't want to waste them!
Once the military service system is fully implemented, the labor force of the Great Sun Dynasty will be greatly strengthened, and there will be plenty of people to carry out the government affairs he ordered, and the speed will be extremely fast!
What I have to worry about now is the food and money to feed these people. Each person has a ration and a salary, and all of these have to be provided by the court!
Food is easy to get. There are plenty of food in the Black Witch Kingdom and the Mahayana Treasure Kingdom that can be purchased continuously. As long as the autumn harvest season arrives, the food problem will be solved.
What we lack now is money!
Money, money, money!
Xiang Yun thought carefully that the money of the wealthy families in the Great Sun Dynasty had been almost taken away by the imperial court. After a period of time, the resources, food, gold, silver and jewelry of the Sima and Murong families would be added to the national treasury, which would be able to support the country for a period of time, so that they could be safe for the time being.
But it's not a long-term solution. We have to find a way to make money.
All the wealthy families in the Great Sun Dynasty have been plundered, but the wealthy families in the Mahayana Treasure Kingdom and the Black Witch Kingdom are still as rich as ever!
The wealth in these two countries will only be more than that of the Great Sun Dynasty, not less. If they can all be plundered, the Great Sun Dynasty will have no worries about food and money!
The silver ceded by the Black Witch Kingdom must be obtained, and the next step is to make money. For the current Great Sun Dynasty, the most profitable way is to sell weapons!
The Great Sun Dynasty now has the steelmaking technology to create what they consider to be peerless swords that can be sold at sky-high prices, and they also have firearms!
If you take some low-quality rifles and pistols and sell them, and then raise the price a little to strengthen them, that's it.
Xiang Yun had a plan in mind and was thinking carefully about the way out. In the future, if the Great Sun Dynasty ran out of financial resources, he would have no choice but to sell weapons.
However, this is the last resort. Xiang Yun has condensed the wisdom of the feudal dynasties of China five years ago. How could he be stumped by such a small problem!
The ancients were very wise, and at least one of the heroes who has been passed down through the ages gave him a great idea to make money.
Xiang Yun thought about it and decided that this matter could be implemented immediately, the sooner the better, so he shouted: "Tang Shui!"
The next moment, a dark shadow rushed out and appeared in the imperial study. Tang Shui, wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with the word "An", knelt down in front of Xiang Yun and said loudly, "I am here, please give your orders, Your Majesty."
Xiang Yun thought for a moment and said, "I have an official position in my hand now, with a total of ten vacancies. Go ask the people in the Anbu. If anyone wants to do it, please sign up with you and bring the person to me."
"Remember, tell them that this position is called Archaeology General, fifth rank, and the salary is three times that of a fifth rank official. However, what they do will damage their yang and accumulate yin, and they will often be in contact with the earth's energy, which may cause some loss of their yang lifespan. But I can teach them more advanced martial arts and let them work for me!"
"Go, bring me those who are willing!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Shui bowed and disappeared without a word.
After issuing this order, Xiang Yun felt much more relieved. There were no tomb robbers in this world, so he was going to make a fortune!
No, it’s not tomb robbing, it’s archaeology!
At this moment, Xiao Guazi was pacing back and forth outside the imperial study, wanting to come in but not daring to, with an anxious look on his face.
Xiang Yun had been noticing him for a long time, so he scolded him, "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just fart. Why are you dithering?"
Little Guazi was so scared that he quickly ran in with small steps, lowered his body and said, "Your Majesty, Shuntian Prefecture Governor Yi Chen Tianming is still kneeling outside the palace. It seems that he is about to die. Do you think so?"
After Xiao Guazi mentioned this, Xiang Yun finally remembered this person. He couldn't help but frown and said in a cold voice: "This stupid guy is really looking for death!"
"Go, summon him to the throne!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Guazi quickly retreated. Not long after, Shen Tianming staggered into the imperial study room supported by two imperial guards. His face became very pale at this time. On the one hand, he had not eaten for a long time and might have some hypoglycemia. On the other hand, he was physically and mentally exhausted, which led to weakness.
Xiang Yun glanced at him unhappily, then waved his hand, and immediately two eunuchs brought a chair and helped Shen Tianming to sit on it, and he finally felt comfortable.
After waiting for the imperial guards and eunuchs to leave, Shen Tianming immediately took out a memorial and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to make. General Wei..."
Before Shen Tianming could say anything, Xiang Yun waved his hand and said, “Okay, present the memorial!”
Shen Tianming was stunned and could only let Xiao Guazi take the memorial from his hand and hand it to Xiang Yun.
Xiang Yun opened it and took a casual look at it, then closed it and put it aside. Shen Tianming's heart tightened when he saw it, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty."
Xiang Yun interrupted him again and asked, "What do you like to eat on weekdays?"
"Uh this." Shen Tianming was stunned, not quite sure how to answer.
Xiang Yun said casually: "Answer whatever I ask you."
Shen Tianming quickly said: "Simple food and simple meals are also delicious."
Xiang Yun frowned and said, "I'm asking you what you like to eat, not what you eat every day. If you answer irrelevantly again, I will cut off your ears!"
Shen Tianming was so scared when he heard this that he stood up from his seat, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, I usually like to drink a bowl of hot duck blood soup."
Xiang Yun nodded after hearing this, then looked at Xiao Guazi and ordered, "Go, ask the imperial kitchen to prepare lunch, and make a big bowl of hot duck blood soup for Lord Shen!"
"Yes!" Xiao Guazi quickly agreed, and then hurried away. Shen Tianming felt flattered when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is so kind, I am grateful to you."
Xiang Yun waved his hand and said, "You will have dinner with me later. I still need to read some memorials. You can sit here and rest for a while."
Shen Tianming said quickly: “I dare not, I am terrified, it is better for me to stand aside.”
Xiang Yun did not look at him, but continued to look at the memorial in his hand, and then slowly said: "This is not in the Golden Palace. I asked you to sit down, so you can sit down."
Shen Tianming hesitated for a while, then decided to listen to Xiang Yun and sit down. He didn't dare to say anything, but just lowered his head, occasionally glanced at Xiang Yun, and then immediately looked away.
Although he was the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, a high-ranking official of the third grade, he had very few interactions with the emperor and had no part in the government affairs. Every day when he attended court, he would just sit there in a daze, listening to the high-ranking officials talking.
In addition, Xiang Yun's reputation spread far and wide, and he had accomplished one great thing after another, which made his majesty even greater.
Therefore, Shen Tianming was actually still very afraid of Xiang Yun in his heart. Now that the emperor asked him to say nothing and just sit aside, he dared not ask anything. The anger he had felt yesterday also disappeared at this moment, and he began to regret coming to report.
Xiang Yun handled government affairs in this way. Shen Tianming sat for another hour. He almost fell asleep in his seat. He was in a daze and his head kept falling.
I don’t know how long it took, Shen Tianming’s stomach growled, he opened his eyes confusedly and found that Xiang Yun was already standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile on his face.
