In fact, how did he know that Cheng Yaojin was also suffering from a headache at this time, and he found a lot of people. To put it bluntly, the defensive power of Fusang's "city" at this time has almost tarnished the word "city" .

That thing is called a city wall?What the hell is the courtyard wall of his own Lu Guogong's mansion probably also this high, it seems that his house is a little stronger.

And the army in a city, let alone just a little bit, rushed over like a lunatic screaming like a lunatic, and a lot of people in the middle were actually wearing bamboo armor?

There are not even a few people who actually have iron weapons, and the others are more civilians with bamboo knives and bamboo guns, which simply tarnishes the word "soldier".

Therefore, the task of capturing the city was easily completed by Lao Cheng, but the rest of the work was troublesome. There were so many people, men, women, old and young, all with haggard faces and thin bodies. They had to breathe for a while after walking a few steps. , and carrying all kinds of luggage of his own, how could he walk so fast.

But Cheng Yaojin couldn't just use the whip directly, after all, this was a practical problem, if the sergeant in his own Zuowuwei dared to do foreign work like this, he would be given a whip, if the circumstances were serious, he would be given a military stick.

But these people are all captives. Cheng Yaojin still expects these people to work in the camp. Wouldn't it be for nothing if they were killed or injured?

And the most troublesome thing for Cheng Yaojin is that after several towns have been breached recently, the next itinerary is getting farther and farther than the other.

Zhang Nuo is irritable and Cheng Yaojin has a headache, but things still need to be done!

Fortunately, although the matter was a bit troublesome, at least it was not without a solution. Zhang Nuo was thinking about whether to take out a set of mining equipment at this time.

It is not used in the large mines of the later generations. Those things consume too much energy. Unless he builds a medium-sized hydropower station first, he will not be able to supply such large equipment at all.

What he wants to get is some mining equipment from the steam age, including railcars, old-fashioned excavators, etc. With these things, the mining progress will undoubtedly be much faster than carrying a hand on his shoulders today.

However, it seems that this group of people are all Fusang people. Not to mention anything else, it is difficult to just communicate, let alone teach them to use new equipment. It is better to transfer people from Pyongyang City, and these people can do some physical work.

What bothered Zhang Nuo the most was that the efficiency of these people working alone is not very good, because their physical condition is too poor.

So at the moment Zhang Nuo can only take care of them slowly, and then slowly increase the workload.

I sent a telegram to Li Shimin, informing him of the current situation, and asking him to help find craftsmen. After all, this silver mine must belong to Datang, and the craftsmen must also obey the management of Datang in the future. If the side draws the tune, this matter will not be easy to calculate.

Then I sent a telegram to Pyongyang City, and my site is much more convenient. I asked Ma Zhou to arrange people to post notices in Pyongyang City, recruiting young craftsmen with experience in equipment operation. After working here for half a year to a year, they can Back to Pyongyang City or Datang.

The most important thing is that you can learn how to use new equipment here, and you can be a technical director in the mining area when you go back in the future.

After arranging these chores, Zhang Nuo turned around and went to the other side. This is currently a large construction site. A large number of Fusang people and Datang soldiers are working here, working overtime to catch up with the construction.

There is no way, mining is okay, it is nothing more than digging out the ore from the ground and stacking it somewhere, but smelting is different, which requires workshops and equipment.

The craftsmen in charge of technology are already preparing to leave in Pyongyang City. If the factory building is not established here, it will be nonsense that people will not be able to start work when they arrive.

After Li Shimin knew the news that it had been shot down here, he wished he could see the money the next day. He was in a hurry at the moment. If there were not too many things on the court side, Li Shimin might have pulled the airship and ran over by himself. .

After arranging things, Zhang Nuo was free again!

There is no way, everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged, and the rest is nothing more than to see how the people below advance. It is useless to rush this kind of thing, and Zhang Nuo, who is free, starts to think about some messy things.

Although Fusang currently occupies only a corner of Datang, in fact, it is nothing more than a matter of time to occupy all of them in the future. This is undoubtedly a continuation of Datang's life, and it can even be said to further supplement Datang's national strength.

Because what Fusang brought was not just a simple silver mine, the people captured here were not just prisoners of war, other people had to work for Datang.

This is the rule that Zhang Nuo set up a long time ago. The people in the occupied area must serve Datang first. You will not be short of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but the salary is pitifully low. After working for a few years , you can redeem yourself.

That's what Goryeo did at the time, at least from the current point of view, the effect is not bad.

And after the Fusang people join in, how should they arrange it?

Subsequent arrangements

For Zhang Nuo, it is really only a matter of time before he can occupy the whole of Fusang, but how to better support the development of Datang is what he wants to think about.

According to intelligence and what he knows, there are only about 200 million people on the entire Fusang Island.

Then, these people will undoubtedly enter the working state. Young and middle-aged people will be dragged to the territory of the Tang Dynasty to build roads and bridges, open mines and farm land.

Now it happens that the first batch of Goryeo captives are slowly turning into civilians, and the training is almost done, and this batch of Fusang captives is just on top.

The young and middle-aged have gone to do heavy work, and the old, young, women and children can't be idle. Anyway, Datang is now booming in business, and some people are willing to pay for people to work.

The imperial court can also get an extra income, and the merchants can get a group of laborers with low wages and hard work. It's a win-win for everyone.

Of course, it is not without disadvantages, that is, businessmen have to find a way to let these workers learn how to communicate with Datang people.

Moreover, it is impossible for the court to allow these people to mess around and kill them directly. These captives or slaves are actually the citizens of the Tang Dynasty who are in the reserve.

Although they still need to work in Datang for a few years, whether they work for Datang or these businessmen, their wages can only be higher than the standard set by the imperial court, and cannot be lower than that set by Datang.

The most important thing is that even if the court sells these people to merchants, it doesn’t matter. You have to pay for the food, lodging and wages of these people, not to mention, you can’t kill or hurt them. Wait a few years When the time comes to allow the redemption, if the person is gone, the court will be held accountable.

Of course, as a means of management, no one cares about beatings, scolding, and scolding. People don’t pay attention to human rights these days, and no one pays attention to the human rights of these slaves. Well, don't think about anything else.

In fact, although the conditions are quite harsh, in fact, for merchants, the more such businesses, the better. Today's Datang has no shortage of food at all, and it is really not difficult to feed people. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are simply Too cheap.

Compared with the wages of the local residents of Datang, the monthly wages given to people are even more incomparable. After a few years, the wages saved will be a lot of money.

Moreover, today's businessmen also know that these slaves are really willing to work hard in order to join Datang as soon as possible.

Of course, it’s not that there are no sneaky, raped and slippery people. If such a person really happens, it’s very simple. Just report to the official for verification and you won’t be killed. Take it directly to the government-run work team at Datang. Dun, then you don't want a penny for these few years, and you have to do the most tiring work, and you will be treated like a prisoner of war.

What Zhang Nuo is thinking about now is, with so many manpower in hand, how should Datang go down?

Money, after having a silver mine, there will definitely be no shortage, and a steady stream of silver will enter the treasury!

People, the former Goryeo and Turkic slaves and the upcoming Fusang slaves will definitely be able to repair large domestic projects beautifully.

So here comes the question, how to deal with the newly occupied Fusang?

Is it just to develop a silver mine?

Isn't that violent?

Moreover, it is impossible to really transport all these people to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. If the whole transportation passes, let alone how long it will take to transport them, just say that millions of aliens will be transported to the territory. Who will bear the risk?

Those who are not of my race will have a different heart, but this sentence has always been wandering in Datang's heart. No one will rest assured that millions of people wander around in their own country, even if there are guards such as the army, because once something happens, they will be killed. Even if the big event is suppressed in the end, it will definitely hurt Datang's vitality.

Therefore, there must not be many people who can really enter Datang, and most people will still stay on Fusang Island, so what to do.

Don't even think about heavy industry, even in the most developed period of later generations, there was no heavy industry in this poor place, mainly because of the lack of resources.

As for light industry, it is also troublesome, because at present Datang's light industry is mainly divided into two categories: daily necessities and food, both of which actually have very high requirements for raw materials.

So, what can Fusang do?

Zhang Nuo stood in the camp and looked at the lush Cangshan Mountain in the distance. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized that the most impressive thing on this island in later generations seemed to be food.

Whether it's wagyu beef or all kinds of frighteningly expensive fruits, it seems that the people here are quite talented in farming.

And the weather here seems to be pretty good, so is it possible to consider using the whole Fusang as Datang's farming and animal husbandry logistics base?

Once Zhang Nuo came up with this idea, he immediately felt that he had grasped something, as if there was something else related to it.

After Zhang Nuo frowned and thought for a long time, he finally remembered.

That's right, I thought of it, arable land transfer and immigration!

When he was still thinking about Fusang, the future generation, when he thought of some beautiful young ladies and those anime, he suddenly thought of a character in it, the mountain is not just me!

Of course, thinking about Zilai doesn't mean that Zhang Nuo plans to build a village as Hokage, or that he plans to build a hot spring to collect wind or something.

It would be too tasteless for him to do such a thing. He thought that since he couldn't get all these people to the Tang Dynasty, he could get people from the Tang Dynasty.

The most important thing is that he has always had an idea that the land in Guanzhong has been barren due to the cultivation for thousands of years.

Not only is the output of the land declining, but it is also making desertification more serious.Of course, it has not reached the level of later generations.

But in fact, the situation at this time is actually not very good, especially in the area of ​​Longzhong, where the drastic changes in the climate and the large increase in population forced this huge forest to disappear.

Zhang Nuo's current idea is to let the land go fallow, plant trees, or plant pastures, but at least let this piece of land that has bred the Central Plains people for thousands of years rest for decades.

And these people will migrate to the south, Koryo, and Fusang.

You like farming, yes, I will give you more land here, and you can even hire slaves!

You like to work, yes, you can find a job here, or simply build a small workshop by yourself, and now Datang can eat all kinds of goods!

Even if they like herding, fishing, etc., anyway, there are enough opportunities for them here, enough to accommodate these millions of immigrants, and they will also be the tentacles of Datang to annex Fusang.

Chapter 800 Datang Development Strategy

Thinking of these things, Zhang Nuo also became excited. If this can be achieved, it will be really good. At least the north will regain the appearance of green water and green mountains, and places such as Koryo and Fusang will be further integrated into the big world. Don.

There is nothing better than the integration of culture and customs. Although the process is relatively long, the effect is permanent and irreversible.

After all, when the culture and customs of one's own tribe are covered by higher-level culture and customs, it will be too late and too difficult to get them back.

To be more precise, it is unknown whether anyone will be willing to take it back at that time. After all, for the current Fusang, the Central Plains culture is a higher-level culture, and richness and strength are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

I believe that this impression will be more clearly seen in the subsequent wars, and the strength of Datang will penetrate into their bones.

And Zhang Nuo's plan is to gradually restore the entire northern part of the Tang Dynasty to its previous beautiful scenery. If it can develop, go to other places for development. Here it needs to recuperate.

At the same time, the current population of Datang is actually far from enough. After some immigrants, they will definitely be able to vacate large tracts of land.

Of course, this matter is not something he can just think about, and he has to discuss it with other people.

At the same time, this kind of thing can't be done overnight, and it can't even be done in one or two years. At least it will take five to ten years to complete slowly.

Zhang Nuo also has a lot of ideas. He wants to use the opportunity of immigration to rejuvenate the entire Tang Dynasty and stop putting the center in the north.

In the future, the north will be a large ranch or a tourist area. Except for some necessary mining, in the next 50 years at least, this side will gradually become a large forest.

From Zhang Nuo's point of view, regardless of whether it is the Americas or Australia, there are actually large tracts of primeval forests at this time, and there are even more minerals, so why do they have to dig holes in their hometown?

In Zhang Nuo's vision, the Central Plains in the future will be a large agglomeration of culture, commerce, politics, entertainment, and technology, and all polluting and resource-intensive enterprises will be relocated overseas.

It is enough to have some light industry in the Tang Dynasty, and heavy industry should not come to harm. What we are playing is wisdom and culture.

As long as we stick to this road, then Datang will definitely walk on a road of prosperity and strength!

And when culture, technology, and materials have all developed to a certain level, there is no need to worry about rebellion at all. This advanced culture itself has a kind of centripetal force, which will attract others to move closer to this side.

As for other matters, Zhang Nuo didn't care, he only provided general ideas and help, but after all, he was not the emperor, so Li Shimin should worry about those matters.

After figuring out the way Datang would go next, Zhang Nuo also heaved a sigh of relief, quietly poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.

The development of Datang’s national power, in fact, can be done slowly, the path has been found, and the rest is actually quite simple, just follow this path unswervingly.

The current Datang mainly develops in several aspects, one is the increase of population, which can be stimulated through the population incentive policy.

At the same time, we need to think more about medicine and education. At least we can’t get married and have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen like now. For women, it’s a life gamble, or murder to put it bluntly.

At the same level as the increase in the population, there is no doubt that the improvement in the level of education, which is really important for Zhang Nuo's future plans.

If the overall quality of the people cannot be improved, how can we talk about the development of culture, entertainment, commerce and even scientific research industries?

These things are actually closely related to education. Only after a large number of people enter the school to study, can we discover outstanding talents from among them.

At the same time, only when the cultural quality of the whole people is improved, can they really start a prosperous age where a hundred flowers bloom. Without high-quality citizens, no one will be able to understand those stories and colorful dances.

At the same time, with the continuous emergence of these talents who received modern knowledge education since childhood, Datang will have more and more people stationed in other places to serve as officials, teachers, businessmen, and soldiers.

It can be said that education and population are the basic national policies for the development of Datang in the next few decades.

With these two points in place, Zhang Nuo had to consider other things, especially the military strength. This was the confidence for whether Datang could expand its territory and deter other countries in the future.

Zhang Nuo's original idea was to swallow up the entire subcontinent within a year and a half after fighting Fusang, from Yunnan and Guizhou to the Straits of Malacca, and bring them all under Datang's command.

The large population and resources there will become the combustion aid of Datang to help Datang develop further, and the soil there is indeed a good place for planting.

But when Zhang Nuo stood on the land of Fusang and started to plan the whole Fusang, he smiled wryly and found that the current Datang could not swallow such a big place at all.

It's not that Datang is incapable of defeating it, but that after it is defeated, there will be no manpower or resources to manage and develop it.

After all, this is not to say that it is enough to send one or two people there, even if the opponent is hurt and scared, but if there is no long-term garrison of troops and no reasonable planning, then that land will only become a chaotic place. Constantly devouring Datang's support, and will not in turn give Datang blood transfusion.

Zhang Nuo understands this very clearly. Even if it is recruiting soldiers from the local area or militarizing management, it requires a large number of local soldiers to participate in it. The current Datang has the territory of Koryo that is being digested. And after the enclave of Fusang is still in the mouth, there is really no extra military and national power to occupy and digest a new territory.

What's more, this piece of land is not a star and a half. In terms of real area, although it is not comparable to Datang, it is actually much larger than Koryo and Fusang combined!

So how many troops and officials are required to participate in such a large area of ​​land? Are you sure Datang can afford such a large burden?

It was precisely because of this thought that Zhang Nuo finally gave up his ambition to develop other sites in a short time. Datang should develop itself honestly. After a few years to digest the fruits of victory in recent years, the national strength will rise again After a step, it was time for Datang to show his fangs again.

Chapter 801 The Beginning of the Great Tang Dynasty

The early spring of the eighth year of Zhenguan seems to be no different from previous years, but those who have not been to Chang'an for many years, or those who have left Chang'an for too long, will always be amazed at the changes in Chang'an today.

If you ask these people how Chang'an City has changed from earlier years, their first reaction will definitely be that it has become cleaner and more lively.

That's right, cleanliness and liveliness are the deepest impressions of Chang'an City so far.

Maybe it was because the Lantian City right next to it was too dazzling, or maybe the bosses living in Chang'an City couldn't take it anymore.
