Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2245, Western Regions

Daming Hezhong Province, one of the richest provinces in the Ming Empire.

At this moment, on the spacious cement road from the Western Regions to the Hezhong Province, several cars are driving slowly, not in a hurry, and seem to be very leisurely.

In one of the RVs, Liu Jin was tasting some special products purchased in Yili, the capital of the Western Regions Province.

All the way to the west, Liu Jin walked in a leisurely manner. He traveled all the way to the mountains, played in the water, ate, drank and had fun. It took several months to come to the Western Regions from Henan, and then play in the Western Regions again. More than two months.

I have been to Tianshan Mountain to pick snow lotus, I have been to Hotan to dig jade, I have also been to Turpan to eat cantaloupe and raisins, and even sang about the sweet apples and Korla pears in the Western Regions.

Go galloping horses in the Nalati Grassland, and taste the authentic roasted whole lamb in the Mongolian tents in the Altai Mountains. Of course, the most important thing is not to forget to appreciate the beauties of the Western Regions.

The beauties of the Western Regions are notoriously beautiful!

Anyone who comes out casually has a star face, a tall and graceful figure, and is good at singing and dancing.

This made Liu Jin also have to sigh, why did the ancestors of later generations risk their lives to bring down the Western Regions, not just for the grapes, pears and apples of the Western Regions, even for the beauties of the Western Regions, it is worth doing their best.

The Western Regions have beautiful mountains, rivers, and scenery!
There are beautiful scenery everywhere, snow-capped mountains, deserts and oases, beautiful grasslands and vast fertile fields. Such a vast western region contains too many resources. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as Wuhua Tianbao.

At the beginning, I led an army to sweep the Western Regions, and included this vast and fertile land into the territory of the Ming Empire. Since then, the Ming Empire has gained a fruit town, a fertile grassland, and many tribes that can sing and dance , more beauties from the Western Regions.

Since the entire Western Region was included in the territory of the Ming Empire, the previous turbulent situation of constant disputes and killings among various tribes had completely ended.

Under the powerful rule of the Ming Empire, all tribes lived in harmony and prospered. The horse thieves were also completely wiped out by the Ming army, completely clearing away the cloud hanging over the people of the Western Regions.

Without wars and disputes, all the tribes in the Western Regions have lived a stable life, enjoying the stability, prosperity and self-confidence of the people of a great empire.

Seeing such a scene, Liu Jin also felt very relieved.

The contacts and exchanges between the various tribes in the Western Regions have become closer and closer, and the intermarriage between different tribes has gradually become more frequent and more frequent.

The Ming Empire does not deliberately emphasize the identity of the tribe, but more emphasizes the common identity of the Ming people, and promotes the policy and education of Ming and Sinicization.

This greatly promoted the integration of the various tribes in the Western Regions, and greatly reduced the contradictions among the various tribes in the Western Regions. At the same time, it also strengthened the rule of the Ming Empire over the Western Regions.

Of course, the more important thing is that these policies are also conducive to the rapid development of the tribes in the Western Regions and their integration into the Ming Empire. Now, the younger generations of the tribes in the Western Regions can basically speak Mandarin Mandarin fluently and write beautiful Chinese characters.

Because there are no problems in language and writing, they can live in various places in Ming Dynasty. Many people migrated to Nanyun Province and Heitu Province, and many people migrated to Nanyang, Australia, Huangjinzhou, and even all over the world. Colonies and vassal states to settle and live.

After leaving the Western Regions, they no longer emphasize the identity of their tribe, and no one cares which tribe you belong to. Inside the Ming Empire, there are countless tribes, big and small. It doesn't matter at all. Everyone only knows you Being from Daming, that's enough.

These have given young people from various tribes in the Western Regions more choices and more development paths. Many people even chose to take the imperial examination. There are also some Juren and Jinshi here who became officials in the imperial court.

There are also people who learn new things and are admitted to the best universities in the Ming Empire, becoming scientific research talents, and shining brightly in the field of science and technology.

Compared with their ancestors, they have changed the situation that their ancestors lived by grazing, nomadic or farming for generations, and gradually moved towards a diversified and diversified development path.

Gradually, they became no different from the Han people of the Ming Dynasty. The sons of the Ming Dynasty and the imperial court treated them equally in this regard, and treated them without discrimination, let alone exploiting and oppressing them in a discriminatory manner.

The prosperous and prosperous Western Regions also made Liu Jin linger and forget to return. He still played in the Western Regions until the first few months of 1753 in the Yanhuang calendar (the fifth year of Zhengde), and even celebrated the New Year in the Western Regions.

The New Year flavor here in the Western Regions is also very strong, especially in some Han immigrant towns.

Every small town is bustling during Chinese New Year.

Fireworks and firecrackers continued all night, showing the wealth of the people in the Western Regions, not short of money!

Of course, many small towns will raise funds together to invite people from the film projection team to show the film on the cold night of New Year's Eve.

Tens of thousands of people in a small town often gather in a large open space to watch movies together. The cold weather seems to be unable to stop everyone's enthusiasm for movies.

After hearing the news, some herdsmen of a few nomadic tribes in the vicinity would come here in a hurry just to watch a movie.

Now movies have become popular all over the country of Ming Dynasty, and even the whole world. The booming movie industry is constantly producing excellent movies of various themes, attracting the common people of Ming Dynasty to spend their money to watch this movie. Movie.

Moreover, the Ming court also attached great importance to movies, especially the publicity effect brought by movies.

At that time, Liu Jin was still the chief assistant of the cabinet, and for this reason, he became a new cultural propaganda office under the Ministry of Rites to manage this matter, and put forward important instructions for the booming film industry.

The most important point is to publicize the positive and positive side of the Ming Empire, and guide the people of the Ming Empire to establish correct values, outlook on life and most importantly, family and country feelings!

Using movies to promote something is a very important means.

Especially for the Western Regions, Nanyun, Heitu, Jiaozhi, Xianglin, Nanyang and other provinces, there are many minority tribes in these places, and more propaganda should be strengthened to consolidate the rule of the Ming Empire over these places and gather the centripetal force of all tribes towards the Ming Empire.

Therefore, in these places, there are corresponding movie subsidies, and movies will be shown to all people for free in some small towns and cities on a regular basis, and there are also some special movies that show that various tribes live in harmony and jointly prosper and prosper. .

Relying on the new way of dissemination and publicity of movies, it quickly became popular in various places, so that during the Chinese New Year, even the howling cold wind still couldn't stop people's hearts from watching movies.

For the family with their mouths, everyone wore warm clothes, huddled together, and watched movies in the cold wind to celebrate the new year. It was a bit similar to the feeling of watching the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve in later generations.

The scene was very lively and hot, and everyone watched with gusto.

Liu Jin also went to join in the fun at that time. In the open air, tens of thousands of people crowded together to watch a movie, and some bonfires were lit around to keep warm, so it would not be cold at all.

The beautiful scenery of the Western Regions, the rich output, and the enthusiastic and generous people who are good at singing and dancing all left a deep impression on Liu Jin, and it also made Liu Jin feel that his hard work over the years was finally not in vain. The Western Regions in my heart.

There are not only beautiful snow-capped mountains and vast deserts, but more importantly, harmony, prosperity, and unity.

"The raisins from the Western Regions are really good, they are delicious!"

"The raisins from other places can't compare to the raisins from Turpan!"

Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen sat across from Liu Jin, watching the scenery outside the window, and tasting specialties from all over the Western Regions.

The Western Region is very suitable for growing fruits, such as ordinary, cantaloupe, apples, pears, red dates, walnuts, etc. The yield of these fruits is not only high, but also of high quality and high sugar content.

In this era without pesticides and chemical fertilizers, the fruits of the Western Regions have always been very popular. They are sold well in all parts of Ming Dynasty. They are very popular, the price is relatively expensive, but the sales are very strong.

This also allowed the people of all tribes in the Western Regions to taste the sweetness from it. The scale of planting is getting bigger and bigger, and the income is getting higher and higher. On the whole, the income level of the Western Regions can be ranked in the middle and upper reaches of the provinces of Ming Dynasty. .

A large part of the reason for this is because of the fruit industry in the Western Regions. Thanks to the railway system, the fruits in the Western Regions can be sold directly to all parts of Daming. Money cannot be exchanged for the food, tea, salt, etc. that one wants.

In the past, in the vast Western Regions, transportation was extremely inconvenient. More importantly, wars and disputes were raging among the various tribes. Horse bandits and horse thieves were also numerous. These seriously affected the commerce and trade between various parts of the Western Regions. All the tribes in the Western Regions were deeply involved in the exchanges, unable to extricate themselves.

There is a rich Western Region, but the tribes here are living in dire straits, and they cannot become rich with the resources and advantages here.

It is different now. In order to strengthen and consolidate its rule over the Western Regions, the Ming Empire built many railways and roads in the Western Regions. At the same time, it also encouraged and supported the development of advantageous industries in the Western Regions according to their own conditions. This is how the Western Regions are now. The prosperity and prosperity of the country, and the stability and prosperity of the tribes in the Western Regions.

"Haha, of course. Turpan is the most suitable place to grow cantaloupe and grapes. The temperature difference between day and night is large, which is conducive to the accumulation of fruit sugar. The fruits grown are the sweetest."

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately said with a smile.
