At some point, fine snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky.

Standing in front of the window and looking at this scene, Xiao Ming sighed in his heart that a year has passed, and in this past time, he finally completed the unification of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

Li Kaiyuan noticed Xiao Ming's expression. In his opinion, Xiao Ming seemed to have a special liking for winter, and he didn't know why.

"The emperor will not disturb the emperor's snow appreciation. Now go back and prepare the "Commercial Law"." Li Kaiyuan said. He was still a little pressure in front of Xiao Ming, after all, being with the king is like a tiger.

Nodding, he said to Li Kaiyuan: "I am planning to designate the Chamber of Commerce as the Business Department on a date. From then on, you have officially become officials of the court. I have talked about the functions of the Business Department to you many times. You will be responsible for the jurisdiction of the Great Chongqing business from now on according to these functions."

"Yes, the emperor." Li Kaiyuan responded, tightened his cotton coat and walked into the snow. The winter was getting colder every year.

Watching Li Kaiyuan leave, Xiao Ming looked to the north. This year's winter is colder than in previous years, and this time it is probably enough for the barbarians.

He could expect that the northern grasslands would freeze to death again this year, which would make the barbarians' lives even more difficult.

The barbarians who lack food and clothing only do one thing, that is, rob them. This can be predicted that the war between the barbarians and the Great Yu Kingdom is imminent. After all, there is only so much grain output on this land. If the Great Yu Kingdom eats more, the barbarians will starve a few people to death.

In fact, human history is just a history of people eating people. The difference is whether it is eating others or eating one's own people.

In the Age of Discovery, the West chose to eat people from other continents, so the West has today's prosperity and strength. On the land of the Great Yu Kingdom, it has always been its own people eating its own people.

After stopping and watching the snow for a while, Xiao Ming re-entered his head to design the industrial planning of the six states.

There were only one hundred steam engines at this auction, but in fact, a total of 300 steam engines were manufactured in the steam engine workshop during this period.

After getting this number, he ordered only one hundred merchants to give them. After all, compared to private workshops, the most important thing is the official workshop.

After all, this private workshop is for the purpose of providing various products to the public. What can truly guide the country's development is the official workshop.

In his plan, he planned to build two more large steel workshops, which were not in Qingzhou, but in Kaipingzhou near Laiwu and Youzhou respectively.

Needless to say, Laiwu is the largest coal and iron production area in Shandong. Building Laiwu Steel Square will greatly reduce the transportation cost of ore.

Kaiping Prefecture is Kaiping Town in the late Qing Dynasty. It is also famous. In fact, it is the contemporary Tangshan. There is rich coal and iron in this place. He is planning to build Kaiping Steel House here.

The vassals of these steel workshops are naturally coal mines and iron ores, but in addition to these two minerals, Xiao Ming is also preparing to develop gold and silver mines in Laizhou at the same time.

Coal and iron are for industry, while gold and silver are for finance. Taking advantage of this rare peace, he will build up industry as soon as possible.

During the Meiji Restoration period, Japan became a powerful country in just 40 years. This was the transition from a feudal society to the West during the Second Revolution.

So for Xiao Ming, he didn't need for forty years at all. Just give him ten or eight years, he would be enough to get the industry of the Great Yu Kingdom to catch up with the West, and then he would completely explode in the West.

However, in order to concentrate on doing big things, he still has to solve one problem now, which is the problem of population mobility in Dayu.

In feudal dynasties, the population was almost unchanged, which was mainly to avoid unstable factors such as refugees.

Now Xiao Ming wants to engage in industry and capital, which will inevitably require a large population.

The population of the six states is limited, and most of them have their own land. These people are not active at all about entering the workshop. Therefore, now both him and the merchants in Qingzhou need a large population to develop industry.

So at this time, he naturally set his mind on the refugees who were born in the Northern War. The chaotic war over the past year not only caused the north to lose a lot of population, but also gave birth to a large number of refugees.

If the previous practice was followed, these refugees would have to return to their hometown to farm, but now they have two more paths, which is to enter the workshop.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming closed the pen, wrote down the issue, and prepared to talk about it together in the morning court tomorrow.

In addition to this, he also prepared some other things and gave him a well-known name called the Three-Year Plan.

The next day, Qingzhou City was wrapped in silver white after snow all night.

In the bedroom, he accompanied Fei Yue'er and her son for a while, and he went to the Political Affairs Hall with his three-year plan.

After a heavy snowfall, the clothes worn by the ministers became obviously thicker. Xiao Ming smiled and said, "Do you all wear cotton jackets sewn from textile workshops?"

Pang Yukun led the way and said: "Master, this cotton jacket is thick and cold-resistant. This year, not only officials, but most of the people have also worn this cotton jacket."

"The old minister has lived in Chang'an for decades. He thought that Chang'an was the richest place in the world. He never thought that it was only five or six years. The people of Qingzhou were more comfortable than the people of Chang'an. In the past, not everyone in Chang'an had cotton jackets to wear." Fiji said with a smile.

The officials agreed and Chao Jun said, "This shows that the emperor has a far-sighted vision. The people of Qingzhou live so comfortable because of the rich products, and rich products are inseparable from commerce and industry."

"What Secretary Chao said is that the products in Qingzhou are indeed richer than those in Chang'an."

"It seems that business and industry are also beneficial."

“…”

Facts are better than words, and the officials all agreed.

Slightly satisfied with the performance of the officials in the hall, Xiao Ming put forward the most important national plan this year. He said: "All my dear friends are wise people. After living in Qingzhou for a long time, this is a mere fact. This morning court will not do anything else, but will be specially designed for the development of industry and commerce. For this reason, I have formulated a three-year plan."

As he said that, Xiao Ming asked Qian Dafu to send the printed booklets one by one.

After Fiji and Pang Yukun got it, they immediately looked at it and suddenly showed shock.

This booklet clearly records the major things that the imperial court will do in the next three years, from farming to commerce, from government affairs to military affairs.

"This time I have to say everything. In the next three years, the Six Prefectures Government Offices will strictly follow the plan above. If it cannot be completed in three years, I will ask him if he is dragged down. So while now, ask what he wants to ask."
