Early spring has passed and the scorching sun is approaching. The ninth year under Zhaowu's rule is about to enter the midsummer.
The situation on the grassland is still chaotic, and the Daheng Center is still busy, but in this Daheng world, it is becoming more and more prosperous.
In particular, the trade blockade of the Heshuo Special Division was relaxed, and a massive demand poured into Shaanxi and Sichuan from the northwest Tibet, thus spreading extremely rapidly to the north and south of Daheng.
In fact, although in the eyes of the emperor, Daheng's productivity has not yet reached a completely innovative level.
But in fact, for the entire world, the nine years under Zhaowu's rule, the world had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Various strategies that benefit the people should be the foundation of the country and the change of the overall environment, but the changes in the market bring about changes in the living environment of the entire people.
For example, the emergence of hydraulic textile machines has appeared in almost all regions of Daheng over the years, from north to south.
Hydraulic power replaces manpower, and it is huge in scale and output. In just a few years, the price of cloth has plummeted, making it a good deal of quality and low price!
The "clothing" that concerns the survival of the people has completely become a popular product!
As long as there is a little money at home, it is really not difficult to change into a new set of clothes for the whole family.
Although the natural disasters in the north and south are still continuing, it is thanks to the popularization of various drought-resistant and cold-resistant crops in recent years, such as sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, etc.
Large yield, and cold-resistant to drought!
According to the agricultural tax statistics in the eighth year of Zhaowu in Daheng, if all the staple foods are counted together in Daheng, even in this year of natural disaster, the annual grain output in the eighth year of Zhaowu is already twice that in Zhaowu in the four years!
It is enough to easily supply the survival needs of the people all over the world.
However, the various regions are divided into large output and low output, poor and prosperous. In many cases, the imperial court needs to allocate and coordinate.
And, most importantly, a few people occupy most of the survival resources.
In this regard, the emperor has always tried his best to suppress and avoid.
It is very obvious that although food is still a big problem for Daheng, as long as the pace of reform is maintained, the problem of food is not too fatal at present.
Just like the capital's stock, at present, the capital's treasury reserve granaries and the treasury reserve granaries are enough to supply the needs of the people in the capital for three years, and can also supply the needs of the Great Hengjing Army, the Imperial Army, and hundreds of thousands of troops for one year of war!
One of the foods is salt. If you say that the industry that has innovated productivity is the earliest is salt.
In today's world, the gray-brown coarse salt in the past has long become a thing of the past. It is also the white snow salt with good quality and low price, which is the mainstream of today's salt.
As early as when he was the Duke of Qin, in order to raise military expenses, the emperor ordered people to think about the improvement of salt. After the improvement, the white snow salt almost stormed the salt market in the world with a dimensional reduction attack.
This white snow salt once was also the most important support for Daheng's deformed finances.
To this day, it is a key existence in improving the living environment of the people.
The item of "living" is related to houses. This item was almost no policy assistance or policy restrictions in the Daheng court.
This is the private affairs of the people in the world. In today's Zhaowu environment, for most people, as long as they are not lazy, they will definitely get something for their work.
The relevant daily necessities are strictly regulated and restricted by the imperial court, and they are all good and cheap. If the people work for a few years, they will definitely have wealth. Building a new house is not a big problem.
The so-called food, clothing, housing and transportation are only one thing left. This item is important to the people and the world, and it is even more important.
By now the ninth year of Zhaowu, according to the summary statistics of the Ministry of Works, the official roads between important cities in northern provinces had basically completed the renovation of cement paving, while the renovation of the official roads in southern regions was much behind.
In the south, the focus of the journey is on the repair and smooth flow of the river system.
It is no exaggeration to say that in today's north, if you walk by land, as long as you walk on the cement road, even if it is still a mule and a horse, the time required between the journey has been reduced by ten times and more than ten times!
The smooth flow of the official road naturally brings about the increasing prosperity of commerce.
You should know that the journey, no matter where it is, is the most important factor.
Just like in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor led his army from the capital to conquer the grasslands. The food and grass needed by the army were all driven by civilians. The road was rugged and difficult. One hundred stones of food and grass were prepared in the rear. Ten stones could reach the front line and supply the army to conquer, which was an extremely effective proportion.
Sometimes, even a rugged road of only a few hundred meters is enough to block the grain transport team for several days and several days.
If you want to be rich, you must first build a road. This sentence is an unquestionable and famous saying no matter which era it is in!
The smooth connection brings prosperity to business. The prosperity of business brings an increase in the wealth of the people, an increase in the wealth of the people, and a stronger country!
It is obvious that today's Daheng is a dimensional attack on the grasslands and the northwest, even regardless of national strength, products, and productivity.
Cheap textiles produced by industrial production are obviously necessary for the coldness of the grassland. Now Daheng already has surplus grain, which is also an unquestionable necessary for the grassland. There are also coal mines, exquisite porcelain and silk, which are also symbols of identity for the grassland aristocrats...
And these are just ordinary people's biological resources.
There are also tea that is the lifeblood of nomadic peoples, the ordnance firearms that Daheng has innovated several times, and the leap-up increase in steel output brought by the smelting technology that Daheng has now leaped...
And the grassland... what is Daheng needs?
Cattle, sheep, war horses, furs?
Today, Daheng is not hiding within the border town defense line. Although it is not nominally the territory of Daheng, it has actually radiated outside the border city wall.
Even if Daheng lacks these things, they are definitely not necessary.
Obviously, when you are not qualified to bargain, for the grassland and the northwest, everything must be accepted passively.
A huge amount of wealth will be plundered by Daheng, and his voice will be controlled by Daheng little by little during this commercial economy plunder.
The benefits of Daheng are far more than these. The plunder of wealth will eventually flow into the country and will inevitably be circulated in China.
The circulation of wealth will inevitably be more extensive!
For the court, wealth that is not circulated has no meaning.
Just like the money buried underground by the landlord and old wealthy family, as long as the wealth is not taken out for a day, it has no meaning to a government.
Only when wealth is circulated is a good thing for the country and the world.
Foreign trade and domestic demand, massive wealth circulation, and the increasing popularity of paper money...
