Yang Fan has been dealing with the resettlement of the Heshuo Special Division during this period. The resettlement of more than 300,000 people is not a simple matter. Various matters are complicated and very troublesome.
Yang Fan was so motivated to move westward, but it was actually related to the climatic conditions in the Western Regions.
Xinjiang and the Western Regions are particularly suitable for cotton cultivation.
Yang Fan has decided that in the next ten years, the two key development industries of Yang Mansion will be: steel and textile. Coal mines and iron ore are densely packed along the Eurasian Railway, which are suitable for raising sheep and shearing wool and growing cotton.
Xinjiang has dry air, few clouds, sunny days, and plenty of sunshine. The sunshine time of the cotton growing season reaches 1460-1980 hours each year, and the sunshine percentage is as high as 60-80%, which is 10-20% higher than that of the Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River Basin. This rich light and thermal resource is conducive to the growth of cotton fibers and can significantly improve the quality and yield of cotton.
The temperature difference between day and night here is large, and the soil conditions are also very suitable for cotton growth.
Xinjiang is mostly sandy soil with good breathability, which is conducive to the development of cotton roots and the progress of photosynthesis. At the same time, the low temperature in Xinjiang in winter is conducive to killing pests and diseases and reducing the chance of cotton being threatened by pests and diseases.
In later generations, Xinjiang's cotton production accounted for 90% of China and one-quarter of the world's total production.
The annual output is nearly 6 million tons!
If Yang Fan occupied the entire Central Asia, plus Xinjiang, they would be used to grow cotton.
I'm afraid it's enough for people in this world to wear clothes.
Yang Fan's Eurasian Railway starts from Tianjin Port in the east and reaches Sevastopol Port on the north coast of the Black Sea in the west. The eastern half of this railway is full of dense distribution zones of iron ore and coal mines along the way. Industry can be carried out.
In the west, it is all suitable for growing cotton, a production area for this textile raw material.
Yang Fan just needs to build a textile industrial base in the city where the railway passes.
At that time, the textile industry cities will produce a large amount of cloth and textiles. These products can be dumped westward to Europe and eastward to the Ming Dynasty.
Even went to sea to dump in North Korea, Japan, and India.
This Eurasian narrow-gauge railway will be built into the world's first industrial belt.
This is the real foundation of the Yang family. If the Northeast Railway is pacified in the future, it will extend to Vladivostok.
The Ukrainian Plain and the Northeast Plain are also two agricultural holy places. This railway also has grain bases to support the entire Ming Dynasty population.
This collects almost all the conditions for industrial development.
Yang Fan planned to migrate the Caucasian races from Xinjiang and Central Asia to Eastern Europe. Then he moved the refugees from the Ming Dynasty who had no land and little land to plant cotton for the Yang family.
Many places in Central Asia have rivers with large amounts of water, which are suitable for agricultural development.
Yang Fan's army stopped at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains and was stationed in Tingzhou. He was waiting for news from Ansanxi.
After the Cavalry Army resolved the Zasaktu Khan tribe, they first rectified the captured people and supplies. After the severe cold passes, they would cross the Tanuula Mountains and attack the Tuva people in the Tanuulanhai.
The Tuva people are very weak and vulnerable.
After solving the Tuva people, they would attack with a right hook according to Yang Fan's deployment, attack the Dulbert tribe and the part of the Turkut tribe that did not leave. They drove them to the Qihe area and searched the old nests of the Mongols in Moxi.
Now the news of Tingzhou's change of hands is likely to have reached the Kingsoft Front. Baturhun Taiji is probably panicked.
Yang Fan's partial army took Tingzhou and the next step would be to march into the Yili River Valley. It was the base of the Junggar people.
There are many arid places in Xinjiang. If there are two places with wet climates and lush grasslands, which one is the Yili River Valley with the Atlantic warm currents and monsoons at the end of their strength. The other is the northern foothill ranch of the Tianshan Mountains.
Yang Fan will not continue to march into Yili, he will wait for the Kingsoft front to collapse. That was the best opportunity to attack.
His side division formed a left hook, plus the Kingsoft Front, Huang San's infantry army headquarters plus two divisions, and counterattacked from the front. Moxi Mongolia would be defeated.
Yang Fan planned to surround them in the Qihe area.
Yang Fan just needs to wait quietly now.
So these days, he has been living in a wooden house with his wife, dealing with the backlog of documents.
The little girl put a stack of newspapers on Yang Fan's desk, patted her little hands, and said, "Master, look at the fifth page, what is the forum page there. I have been a lawsuit for pen and ink during this period, but it was so lively that I laughed to death."
Yang Fan raised his watch and looked at it. It was noon immediately and asked, "What do you want to eat at noon? Let's have a good meal too. Let's have a chat while eating. This time it was a marching stove, which made the ladies suffer."
"Master, Master, I want to eat fried eggs with loofah." Xiao Niangpi said immediately. As soon as she mentioned what she had eaten, she immediately looked in high interest.
Before, the master and the officers and soldiers shared the joys and sorrows, so as her wife, she naturally had to set an example. In fact, she was tired of eating the big pot rice. Now she heard that she had to have a small stove and immediately became excited.
"During this period, I have eaten beef and mutton every day. I feel like I feel that I have a mutton smell when I sweat." Xiao Niang said with a frown. She especially wants to eat light vegetables.
"Master, I want to eat Gongbao shrimp balls, especially those you made by yourself." Lin Yueru, the fairy, immediately got up and hugged Yang Fan's waist and said coquettishly.
Chen Xi raised his hand to eat fried bitter melon, and plum blossoms should eat celery lily.
It seems that during this period, they have become nauseous when eating meat and want to eat vegetables.
"I'll let the kitchen see if there are any ingredients in the ingredients shipped by the steam truck recently. If so, all of them will be arranged for you." Yang Fan waved his hand and said heroically.
This is the northern border, and seafood and fresh vegetables are extremely rare.
But now the railway is almost at Gaochang. The vegetables from Xincheng greenhouse and Tianjin seafood can be transported to Hami by railway by insulated carriages and seawater oxygen-added carriages.
Then change the steam truck and take it one day and one night to transport it.
Now that the war has been completed and the front line has stabilized, there are thousands of steam trucks in the Yang Mansion to transport supplies. The supplies are immediately sufficient.
Unlike before, when they marched, they had to pay close attention to fresh water and food.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yang Fan stretched and put down the documents. He asked Xiaoyu to hold the newspaper and take his wives downstairs to the first floor kitchen, and cook for his wives to cook something delicious for them.
The master cooks himself, which is the happiest moment for the ladies. They can feel the master’s consideration and love for them. In this era, men cannot cook, let alone people with such status and status.
Yang Fan personally made fried eggs with loofah, Gongbao shrimp balls, celery lily, and fried bitter melon. He also made more than a dozen vegetarian dishes such as oyster sauce lettuce, hand-pulled cabbage, and white cabbage heart. He also brought out a box of Wuliangye. This was a good wine that the wife begged for a long time.
Yang Fan was afraid that they would drink too much, so he was drunk and tormented him. He usually didn't give them drinks, and they all hid them, which made his wife complain.
On the west side of the small villa is a single-story flower hall with three floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The Western Regions are in a strong light, and the flower hall is filled with sunshine, which is very warm. There are also potted green plants transported by trains and steam trucks on all sides.
This is the place where the Yang family eats, and the internal environment is very good.
Yang Fan took his wife to sit cross-legged on the floor, set up a small kang table, and asked the maids to bring all the dishes and wine. The rice is the newly produced Xiangshui rice in Mudanjiang.
Xiangshui rice is the highest level of Wuchang rice, and is the tribute rice of the Qing Dynasty. It is an extremely rare and precious rice.
The atmosphere of the Yang family is relaxed and you can also speak during meals.
Yang Fan did not require following the rules of this era, such as not eating or sleeping. At the dinner table, the whole family was having fun and chatting happily.
Today, so many vegetables have made the ladies very happy to eat. They have long been so tired of eating meat.
Yang Fan mixed the sea cucumbers and sauce into pieces, placed them on a plate, and digged them with a spoon.
While eating, I read the Su newspaper.
"If Zhang Tian is convinced, the Su Bao will not exclude anyone, and anyone can submit any article regardless of his position. What I said to him at the beginning, don't cover your mouth, let people talk without being able to tell the truth. He really abides by it. In fact, treat the submissions of the gunman brought to him by His Majesty fairly." Yang Fan said while eating.
Over the past month, more than a dozen newspapers have been debating.
There are many insightful characters on both sides. Although they all use pseudonyms, their writing style is very sharp and the logic is very rigorous.
They all start from their respective positions and debate who is responsible for the situation in the Ming Dynasty today.
Yang Fan did not expect that after the Magna Carta was thrown out, it actually caused such widespread response from the Ming Dynasty intellectual community.
Chongzhen asked Donglin to be responsible for the rebellion, and he took the blame. He accused the gentry of harming the interests of the court and the people for their own interests. Donglin planned to throw the responsibility on the emperor's head and proposed that it was the emperor who caused the suffering of the people.
Yang Fan showed a sneer on his lips, looking at these sharp arguments between the two sides.
These articles are profound and profound.
It turns out that everyone is not fool, and they are very clear about the problems existing in the Ming Dynasty. It is not that the above is not aware of the actual situation below.
But, your butt usually determines your head.
