"I sent someone to inspect the two places mentioned by His Majesty and found that there is indeed a good place, so there is definitely no problem in building a city." Li Zhongxing said, "There is room for expansion in the future."

What Zhu Yijun asked Li Zhongxing to do was to inspect two places, because Zhu Yijun wanted to build a city in two places.

Zhu Yijun has ideas on how to control and rule the Jurchens, but no matter what the idea is, you must first have a stable foothold. It is not enough to just talk.

In this era, building a city is the best foothold and the foundation for establishing rule.

With cement and bricks, building a city will no longer be as time-consuming and laborious as before. Once the city is successfully built and merchants gather, many Han people will flood here. Zhu Yijun can't understand this.

After the city was established, Zhu Yijun could even tempt the Jurchen tribes into the city.

Zhu Yijun didn't believe that with a good life in the city, they would be willing to continue squatting in the wilderness. Once they entered the city, they would not be that easy to go out.

It’s not that Zhu Yijun forced it or something, but that his life in the city was completely different from his previous life.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!

The two places that Zhu Yijun chose to build cities were all strategic and transportation areas. One was located on the shore of Erlong Lake, which was the Siping location in later generations, and the current Yehe tribe territory.

The place of Siping was still very famous in later generations because there was a very famous battle called Siping.

Once Siping City is built, it can be the gateway to Shenyang to the south, and connect to the city built on Korqin to the west. It can curb the Jurchen tribe to the east, allowing the Ming Dynasty to advance and expand to the north.

Whether it is military or political status, Siping is a place that is deadly.

Once Zhu Yijun builds a city in this place, it will directly establish the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule in the north. At the same time, Zhu Yijun is preparing to establish a new province in the newly built city to directly govern the territory north of Siping and the Korqin.

Once this goal is achieved, the subsequent things will be much easier.

The second place Zhu Yijun wants to build a city is Dandong.

Although Dandong is not a barren land now, it is not much different, but Dandong's location is indeed an abnormal key. This is very important in both later generations and now.

When building a city in Dandong, the Ming navy could go up the Yalu River and arrive directly at Dandong.

It can form a large support for Liaoyang and Shenyang and form a complete offensive and defensive system. At the same time, it can radiate to North Korea. Once the Ming army enters North Korea, Dandong can become a logistics support base.

At the same time, Dandong can also form a very good squeezing situation against the Jianzhou Jurchens. Once there is a sudden change in the Jianzhou Jurchens, the army can send troops from Dandong, and the deterrence is extremely powerful.

Mao Wenlong built a military base on Pi Island in his previous life, but he caused trouble for the Later Jin Dynasty a lot.

Once the construction of these two cities is completed, Liaodong will become an introspection, not a frontier.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty will have a very strong control over Liaodong. At the same time, Dandong can also become a bridgehead for trade between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, and sea trade can also be carried out in Liaodong and North Korea.

The efficiency of goods being transported to Dandong for sea is not ordinary.

This time, Zhu Yijun summoned the leader of the Jurchen tribe, and building a city was a very important thing. After the plan to build a city, the investigation and investigation will naturally be the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This time, Li Zhongxing came to Liaodong in person, with the purpose of opening up the Ming Dynasty's commercial territory in Liaodong.

Including the original Duoyan Sanwei and Korqin, the Haixi Jurchen and the Jianzhou Jurchen, and laying the foundation for entering North Korea. Once these are opened up, the Ming Dynasty will gain unprecedented commercial benefits.

With business orientation, the development of the entire Northeast will be greatly improved.

In more than ten or twenty years, the entire Liaodong will have many towns and will expand northward. Even Zhu Yijun is preparing to accept some North Korean refugees in Liaodong, which is the refugees after Toyotomi Hideyoshi came to fight this time.

These people can be ruled as the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Whether in terms of cultural identity or obedience to the Ming Dynasty, North Korea can be said to be very, very high in the Ming Dynasty. Once the Koreans enter, they will be the greatest help for the Ming Dynasty to increase its dominance over Liaodong.

Zhu Yijun has made a big plan this time and has a big plan, otherwise he would not have come to Liaodong in person.

In the Liaodong of Jurchen, North Korea, Zhu Yijun is preparing to open up in one fell swoop and establish a complete development mechanism. This is very important. Otherwise, Zhu Yijun would not have waited for these years. A Toyotomi Hideyoshi was not enough to make Zhu Yijun so capital.

After hearing the results of Li Zhongxing's investigation, Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good!" Zhu Yijun looked at Li Zhongxing and said with a smile: "I will send an order to the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue, and ask them to come up with a plan, and the money will also be allocated from the Ministry of Revenue."

Although the work of building a city is done by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the money is paid by the treasury.

This point has been clearly divided. The Urban Construction Department, which is under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has developed very well over the years. From building materials to construction, we are proficient in everything, and we are also very well-manned.

This model is like building roads in later generations, where state-owned enterprises are under construction, but the treasury is paying for them.

It was just placed in the Ming Dynasty, and the one who was responsible for the construction of the emperor's company, but the one who paid for the money was the treasury.

The feudal imperial system combined with powerful capitalism is the best system that Zhu Yijun could think of. Because the emperor himself is the biggest powerful in the world, if you develop other systems, you will involve a problem of ruling power.

Capitalists want to take power, and they advocate democracy for this and turn power into a capital game. Ordinary people don’t have capital, and you can’t play even if you want to play. The capital of the powerful will not come from the powerful.

This is in sequence. The existing powerful people have capital, which is the capital. The existing capital has the power and the wealthy people have the capital, which is the capital game, and the people who play these are capitalists.

The capital of the powerful is born on the basis of imperial power. Where can the powerful come from without imperial power?

In essence, powerful capital is confronting each other with capitalists. One grabs profits through power and the other grabs power through profits, which is completely a two-fold thing.

Zhu Yijun doesn’t know which one is better, and Zhu Yijun doesn’t know which one is advanced.

Without a perfect system, only the most suitable system. In this era, the capital of the powerful is naturally suitable. As long as the road to the promotion of the civilians to the powerful is not blocked, there will be no conflicts that will be irreconcilable for a long time.

Therefore, the path to military merits and titles is very important, because you will be promoted to the enemy in real life.
