The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 526
Huang Sheng plans to build two roads that allow four-wheeled carriages to gallop, so that Jiaozhi and Daming will be more closely connected.

A concrete road with hard foundation from "New Suzhou" along the coastline, passing through Annan Port, Qinzhou, and reaching "Lugong Island".One line goes from "Jiaozhou City" to Langshan, passes through Taiping Mansion, Nanning Mansion, Liuzhou Mansion and arrives at Guilin Mansion.

These places in Dayue Kingdom and Daming are connected by official roads, but they have been in disrepair for a long time.

Large-scale investment in infrastructure only appears in prosperous times. Nowadays, eating and drinking have become a luxury. How can anyone waste money and people.

It's no wonder that the Ming Dynasty was facing a financial crisis both at home and abroad, and local levies and miscellaneous taxes have been increasing year after year, and local finances are also unsustainable. Who cares about officialdom?

Years of military disasters in the country of Dayue, the power minister Zheng Bing crazily suppressed the internal affairs and continued to conquer the external world, so there is no time to control the road.

Huang Sheng acquired such a large piece of homeland, of course it will make this place a prosperous and prosperous world.

The Huang family formed technicians, and when they entered Daming to repair bridges and roads, they would recruit a large number of local laborers. While conducting large-scale engineering battles, they also conducted vigorous propaganda campaigns.

An organized and disciplined construction team eats enough food, sweats profusely, listens to stories and learns Mandarin every day. After the road is completed, people's hearts will be attached to each other. The effect of this kind of encroachment on the territory will be immediate.

Huang Sheng is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and the part-time governor of Fujian. It is his duty to use labor to repair bridges and repair roads.

Even so, Huang Sheng would not allow the common people to work voluntarily.

The common people served in the Ming Dynasty not only for nothing, but also brought their own rations, life and death were at the mercy of fate, and the disabled thought they were unlucky.

Huang Sheng built bridges and paved roads to stimulate domestic demand and provide employment opportunities for ordinary people. He not only manages food and housing, but also pays monthly wages.

In the future, if he has enough manpower and financial resources, Huang Sheng wants to build a coastal road to connect Guangdong and Nanzhili, and even consider going directly to the capital.

Build bridges where conditions permit, and ferry to places that cannot be done with current technological strength.This solid road along the coast will also become a levee against the tsunami that occurs once in 50 years.

With inexhaustible coal and iron ore, the cost of producing cement is controllable. There are too many slags from iron and steel making. Resources such as limestone and clay can be seen everywhere in Jiaozhi. A large amount of silicon that is not afraid of seawater is fired. Salt cement has become possible.

Increased investment in infrastructure will increase production efficiency, and ordinary people will get more disposable income, leading to business prosperity, which will lead to ample government finances, which will lead to the government increasing investment in infrastructure again. This is sustainable development and a virtuous circle.

The reason is actually very simple. Because there is no road, the people in the mountains can’t sell a pig for a price. Of course, there is no money, and of course they need to save money.

With the infrastructure in place, there is no need for ordinary people to drive pigs down the mountain to sell them, and shrewd Han merchants will drive four-wheeled carriages through villages and villages to buy mountain products and agricultural by-products.

The Huang family system will provide financial support to ordinary people who are willing to engage in side jobs, and will send technicians to guide ordinary people in breeding and growing melons, fruits and vegetables. In the long run, commercial prosperity is just around the corner.

----

In June of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Huang Sheng held a meeting to appoint local officials. Too many young soldiers who were musketeers were transferred to the civil administration system. Generally, three towns constituted a county, three counties constituted a prefecture, and three prefectures constituted a prefecture.

These local officials are of the same rank as the Ming officials. The county magistrate is also the seventh rank, the prefect is the sixth rank, and the prefect is the fifth rank. The township chief is the eighth rank.

The treatment corresponding to the position of the Huang family's army is only one or two levels different.The head of the township and the town are of course the head of the banner, and the head of the pavilion can only be the official of the small banner.

At the end of the meeting, all the civil officials got the same official uniforms as the officials of the Ming Dynasty, of course most of them were green-robed officials.

Zhao Shimin went back as early as the end of last year, leaving behind a design team and experienced shipbuilders to build the "destroyer" at the Hainan Island dock.

Zhao Shimin still works in "Huaxia Island", which is very important to the Huang family.

The garrison generals Han Kuan and Ma Qianzhao were promoted to Qian Zong, and they expanded their army according to the new model into two Qian Zong, with [-] main soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers.

Zhao Shimin was appointed as the fifth rank of the Futai Master of "Huaxia Island", which means that he is not only responsible for coordinating the industrial scientific research and development of the entire system, but also governing "Huaxia Island".

It doesn't matter, Zhao Shimin should be able to handle it easily with the help of his sister Zhao Rui.The original intention of this arrangement was to allow Zhao Rui to actually participate in the management of the civil affairs of "Huaxia Island", and Zhao Shimin must have known this well.

Huang Dongshan was appointed as the government office of Qiongzhou. Hainan Island, an important territory, must be firmly controlled. Huang Dongshan's talent and loyalty are remarkable, and he has both civil and military skills. It is completely at ease to entrust this place to him.

Huang Dongshan was handed over to Huang Dongshan with a total of 6000 soldiers and [-] troops stationed in the three prefectures and ten counties of Hainan Island. Chen Chengcai, Ma Houpao, and Ye Jiangong were military attaches respectively.Relying on a powerful navy, it is enough to deal with Xiyi's covetousness.

What Cheng Quangong did in "New Suzhou" is obvious to all. Huang Sheng appointed him as the magistrate of "New Suzhou".

Huang Mingli was appointed as the prefect of Jiaozhou, and Huang Mingdao was appointed as the prefect of Annan. They were only in name, and they probably were impatient to govern one side. Fighting wars was what they were passionate about.

Chu'er is in charge of the civil affairs of these two prefectures, because I am afraid that everyone may not be used to it if a woman is rashly appointed as a magistrate, so we can only take it slowly and take it one step at a time.

The garrison chiefs of these two prefectures are Li Dagang and Han Guang respectively. Huang Sheng feels relieved to hand over the newly acquired territory to his old brothers who started to garrison.

Huang Sheng still emphasized that the new territory is the Jiaozhi Province of Ming Dynasty. The purpose is to prevent the military and civilians from thinking that the Huang family system is independent of Ming Dynasty. Huang Sheng's ultimate goal is to establish a unified and powerful new Ming Dynasty.

Daming Cochin Province is divided into three prefectures, nine prefectures, 27 counties, plus nine border towns, which is concise and clear.The main soldiers and auxiliary soldiers left behind reached twelve thousand with a total of 4000 troops.

Among them, there are 600 cavalry, 140 musketeers, [-] artillery and grenadiers, [-] and [-] field cannons, and several artillery garrisoned forts in the city, enough to deal with surrounding hostile forces.

The trainees in the eight border towns are all Huang Sheng's disciples, and they are all the third batch of loaders. Originally, the owner's loaders were the selected outstanding youngsters of the Huang family as the key training officers. They followed the owner for two years to study nature. A lot of things.

Give these teenagers a chance to be independent, and if they think they can do it, the word "internship" will be removed after one year.

There is also a border town leader who is not an apprentice, but Mr. Hu Jianfeng, who has repeatedly made military exploits.

Gu Shanhe, Quan Yong, and Gou'er's three Qianzongs and Ge Chengjie and Cao Hucheng's two cold weapons as the main force will follow the Patriarch back to Huangjiawan Island, and they may move to Liaodong.

Now the artillery has been mixed with each Qian Zong. Gouer's Qian Zong has the same organization as other hot weapon-based Qian Zong, except that his Qian Zong has two less Bai Zong infantry and 24 more field guns.
