Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 1450: Wendong, Zhizhou, Borneo
There are not many countries currently recognized by the Tang Dynasty. There are only a few countries with slightly stronger strength or special functions, such as the Safi Dynasty in West Asia, the Mughal Empire in northern India, and the Ottoman Empire at the turn of Central Europe. These countries are all at odds with the Tatars, and even war broke out. The Tang Dynasty recognized and planned to support them based on the idea that the enemy of the enemy is a friend.
Then there are two countries in Europe, namely Spain and Portugal!
Although most of the above-mentioned countries have not established formal diplomatic relations with the Datang Empire, there are still occasional exchanges. When the officials of Datang use words, they call these countries exactly the kingdoms of such and such!
Key points: The Tang Dynasty will never call a certain country a certain empire when it comes to the official key.
There is only one emperor under heaven and earth, and that is Li Xuan, the great emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
There is only one empire, and that is the Tang Dynasty!
The others are at most kings...
As for the remaining countries or powers, in Datang's eyes, they are all indigenous people. Is the indigenous kingdom a country? Certainly not!
Therefore, the annihilation of the local indigenous kingdom is written into the agreement, and there is nothing wrong with it!
However, this verbal promise made Fang Dongquan make up his mind to give Tianshui Company a chance. Although it is not in compliance with the rules to give money in advance, Fang Dongquan is not afraid of being deceived. If Tianshui Company does not take the money, he can Take the complaint to the imperial court.
When the two parties signed the cooperation agreement, Sun Kaiyi took Fang Dongquan's check, and he was greatly relieved. Now the wages of the employees can finally be paid, and part of the loan can be repaid first.
The people from the Imperial Development Bank saw that Tianshui Company was ready to confirm the contract, but they did not have to push Tianshui Company into a corner, but agreed to repay part of the loan first, and the rest of the loan could be repaid after an extension of one year, of course, Interest still has to be paid, and it's not low!
After securing the most important armed guards, Fang Dongquan personally took a large group of people and boarded several merchant ships that he had hired to go to Luzon!
In this group, in addition to more than 600 armed guards, there are more than 100 members of Fang Dong's family or servants, and more than 300 employees temporarily hired by the North Borneo Development Company established by him, and then There are more than 3,000 immigrants recruited.
This scale is much larger than the scale when Wang Shanxi sealed Wandan!
Facts have proved that Li Xuan has given large-scale fiefs to the nobles and given them a lot of land, although it will bring many problems in the future, but now, it can greatly promote the development of overseas territories.
In the past, the immigration development of overseas territories could only rely on the immigration settlement division, although the immigration settlement division has organized hundreds of thousands of immigrants overseas in recent years.
But it has to be said that the main work of the Immigration and Reclamation Division of the Ministry of Agriculture is still concentrated in China, especially in the domestic frontier areas.
The core of the work of the Immigration and Reclamation Division in recent years is to organize a large number of landless farmers from areas with more people and less land in the country to go to provinces with fewer people and more land for development and settlement.
For example, the early Huguang area, some plain areas of Guangxi, and the Pearl River Delta area of Guangdong were all key development areas, and the effect was quite good. A large amount of local land has been developed.
In terms of geographical conditions, the Pearl River Delta region in Guangdong is also a large-scale plain area, which is very suitable for the development of agriculture. In addition, the same is true for some plain areas in Guangxi, not to mention the Huguang area.
After so many years of hard work by the Immigration and Reclamation Division, the Huguang area has become a granary that is enough to meet the Jiangnan area, and it has become the largest food supply area in China. In addition to meeting the food needs of the local population, a large amount of food is also produced. Available in other regions.
This is unmatched by the current Jiangnan region. Although the Jiangnan region has developed agriculture and high grain output, the local population is also very dense, and its own food consumption is extremely huge.
Therefore, the amount of food supplied to the outside world is not as good as that of the Huguang area.
After the agricultural development in Huguang and Guangdong and Guangxi regions achieved some results initially, the resettlement and reclamation division focused its work on the reclamation in the southwest, northwest and northeastern border areas.
For example, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in the southwest, although these two places are a little barren, but no matter how barren, this place is big enough to support a lot of people.
At the same time, it is also to strengthen the rule of the central government in the above-mentioned two provinces. The Datang Empire adopted a very strict reform of the land in the above-mentioned two provinces. During this process, it also encountered a lot of resistance. In order to stabilize the central government in this area To rule, a large population base is very necessary.
There are also areas such as the Northwest and the Hetao, which also require a large number of immigrants to consolidate the frontier.
As for the northeast region, there is no need to consolidate the frontier in this region now, because the northeast region basically has no threat from foreigners. to the far north.
Therefore, for immigrants in the northeast region, consolidating the frontier is not so important, and it is more important to develop various local resources.
Especially after a large number of minerals were successively surveyed in the Northeast region, a large number of enterprises attracted a lot of attention to the local area to develop minerals, and recruited a large number of workers to go there.
At present, the enterprises of the Datang Empire have already surveyed a large number of coal mines and iron ore in the northeast, and have also discovered gold mines and other minerals, among which coal and iron ore are the most important.
The Northern Coal Company, which is affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, has already developed a number of coal mines in the western and eastern Liaoning provinces.
Subsequently, Liaoxi Iron and Steel Company, headed by Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company and jointly established with several other companies, was also established a few years ago and developed local iron ore.
At the same time, the local coal resources are used to make iron and steel nearby, and the cost of the steel produced is very low, and it has been supplied to many regions in China, especially the northern region.
The development of the Northeast is also the first area to focus on industrial development among the many immigrant development areas in the Datang Empire.
Of course, its agricultural development has not fallen behind. Although the western and eastern Liaoning provinces are colder, the terrain is flat and the water resources are relatively abundant, so the development of agriculture is also more suitable, in addition to planting traditional sorghum, wheat and rice. In addition, the local also began to widely plant soybeans.
Nowadays, the planting scale of soybeans in Northeast China is not small, and the quality of soybeans planted is quite good, so that Northeast soybeans have already achieved a lot of reputation in the domestic market, and have quickly become the engine of local economic development. one.
Its importance is no less than that of local mineral development!
The Datang Empire's development of immigrants in many parts of the country is far more powerful than that of overseas territories. After all, the local area is the foundation, and the development of overseas immigrants is only auxiliary.
In many cases, the development of immigrants in overseas territories is more for military services, and the empire needs to maintain a certain number of immigrant populations in overseas territories to maintain local rule.
In this environment, the official force represented by the Immigration and Reclamation Division of the Datang Empire did not put much effort into the development of overseas immigrants.
However, today's nobles are supplementing this deficiency.
The nobles who were canonized to overseas territories, for their own interests, organized a large number of immigrants to go to the fiefs for development at their own expense.
Although they are for their own interests, they also directly promote the development of the empire's overseas territories.
For example, Borneo, the official agency of the Tang Empire, has not had time to deal with Borneo affairs over the years. Although this place is nominally under the jurisdiction of Luzon, it has also been established in several coastal ports in Borneo. There are commercial stations and ports, but, over the years, there has been no formal administrative organization.
And now, with the large number of immigrants from Fang Dong's organization to Borneo, the Tang Dynasty official also dispatched relevant officials to Borneo for the first time, and officially established the Borneo Yamen, directly belonging to the Luzon House.
Wen Dong, the first governor of Borneo in Luzon, went with his subordinates and Fang Dongquan's fleet.
As the fleet went all the way south, it anchored in Guangzhou and supplied supplies, and then went straight into the depths of the South China Sea. When preparing to go to Luzon, Wen Dong stood at the stern, watching the ground gradually disappearing from the sea!
After he could no longer see the ground, he sighed deeply!
Unlike Fang Dongquan, the nobles who had obtained fiefs, who went to the fiefs happily, few of them were happy to go to overseas territories to serve.
Fang Dongquan was elated, because Borneo has more than 300,000 square kilometers of land as his fief~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Among them, more than 30,000 square kilometers of land is his private land, how huge it contains The benefits are of course self-evident.
But for officials like Wendong, it is not a good job to go to overseas territories, but all the officials who have a bit of knowledge try their best to avoid going to overseas territories.
Because the overseas territories these days are basically equivalent to wild places, thousands of miles away from the mainland, there is no difference between going to the overseas territories and sending them into exile to some extent.
However, Wen Dong is just an ordinary official with no prominent family background and no strong personal connections. Since he became an official at the age of 30, although his grade has not been slowed down, speaking of it, his career path is actually not a good one. smoothly.
For more than ten years, he has been working in the local area, and he has never worked in Gyeonggi, and when he is working in the local area, it is not a good place. In the past ten years, he has always worked in the southwest region. And they are all working in remote places.
