Emperor Liu Hong

() The guild hall opened not long ago, the scene was so hot, Liu Hong really wanted to join in the fun.But he was so busy right now that he couldn't spare this time at all.

It was okay a while ago, although there were quite a lot of things.But because the occupied land has not been measured.So those things are like selling spoils and so on, Liu Shu and the others can make the decisions.

But it can't work now, the occupied land has been initially measured.The specific arrangement of these lands is up to Liu Hong to decide.

With such a large territory, there are so many things involved.You said that this requires immigration, division of states and counties, setting up government offices, and arranging officials. Which one does not require the emperor Liu Hong to decide.Let's not talk about this, even to determine the main industries in various places, Liu Hong needs to worry about it, who made him have experience as a "comer".Anyway, Liu Hong was so busy during this period, not to mention going to the guild hall, even if he had little time to sleep.

However, although there are many of these things, the most important thing is the handling of the occupied land.Although the imperial court has already dealt with a lot of land through land sales.However, the results of Liu Hong's personal expedition this time are really too great. From Liaodong to Dunhuang, such a large territory, no matter how big the appetite of those aristocratic families, how much they can digest.Therefore, most of the land still needs to be resettled.

But now, there are really not many people who can be used to immigrate.Most of the people who are willing to immigrate have already been immigrated to Jiaozhou, Taiwan Island, and Ryukyu Island.The remaining people are really not enough to fill such a large territory.

This question worried people like Liu Hong.In the end, I can only use benefits to attract people.Liu Shu also got angry, "We got a lot of money from the land sale this time, we don't use it for other things, it's all used to support immigrants, and reward those who are willing to emigrate, I don't believe they won't be tempted .”

After thinking about it, Liu Hong had no choice but to do so.After all, the population base of big men is so large now, without this method, they really can't get many people.

"No, there are too few people now. If there are more than [-] million people, why should I be troubled like this!"

But it's useless to say this now, population growth is a long-term project, even if he encourages birth now, it can't solve this problem.After all, distant water cannot quench near thirst.

"No, think about the famous 'enclosure movement' of 'sheep eating people' during the British Industrial Revolution, it was businessmen and ranchers planting grass and raising sheep. But now that I have such a large grassland, why do I keep thinking Farming!" Liu Hong suddenly felt that his thinking had fallen into a misunderstanding. "Yes, I can completely promote the 'industrial revolution' now."

The first industrial revolution in history should be the steam revolution.Although the steam engine has been invented now, it is too polluting and Liu Hong doesn't want to do it.But if he wants to directly revolutionize electricity, he doesn't have that technology.Although he had told his researchers about the principle of frictional electrification long ago, the generator has not been invented yet.

"Forget it, there is only such a small population now, and hydraulic machinery is enough. If we really use machinery with too much power, we will definitely not be able to avoid the situation of excess products."

After making up his mind, Liu Hong started to work.First, researchers were recruited and asked to develop wool spinning machinery.Then arrange for people to find a group of workers from Persia who can make blankets.The most important thing is to let Liu Zhong arrange the merchants of the chamber of commerce to build a pasture on the grassland.

But there is no product yet, and the convincing power is not strong, so the merchants of the chamber of commerce will ignore them.First let Liu Zhong help the royal family and enclose enough pastures.

Liu Zhong, as the head of the Royal Household Office, his every move has attracted people's attention.Now that people saw Liu Zhong, he suddenly occupied a large number of pastures, and they must be extremely curious.

At this time, after Ma Jun's day and night rush work, the wool spinning machinery was finally produced.Liu Zhong came to the chamber of commerce with wool spinning machines, samples of fabrics and blankets spun from wool.

Facts speak louder than words. When these businessmen see the exquisite blankets and high-quality fabrics, they know how promising this industry is.Besides, if you can be a businessman in this chamber of commerce, no one is a fool.Even if you take a step back, even if this thing can't make money, how can you lose money if you follow the emperor.Sooner or later, the emperor will find him elsewhere.So this guy was quite relieved, and he took action after returning.

Now, the second round of prairie occupation activities began.This round was obviously more fierce than the first round.Because animal husbandry is an industry that requires a huge amount of land. If there is less land, it will not be able to develop at all.And those businessmen are all rich and powerful, and the land price is really too cheap.So this time the land was sold out.

While all the people were busy raising sheep and building textile farms, Liu Hong was thinking about the Gobi Desert in the northwest again.Although those are the Gobi Desert, there is no shortage of water there, and it can be used effectively.In later generations, it was the main base for cotton production.And now, Liu Hong also plans to use it to grow cotton.

It stands to reason that Liu Hong shouldn't have any idea about the land surplus in Dahan now.But this time he has newly conquered the territory, whether it is in the northeast or northwest, the winter there is extremely cold.And now, he has immigrated there in large numbers, and the demand for cotton has become extremely huge.It is absolutely impossible to meet the demand only with the little cotton planted now.But Liu Hong didn't want cotton to take up too much arable land, so Liu Hong followed the example of later generations and used the Gobi Desert in the northwest to grow cotton.

Cotton, mainly depends on businessmen.Now the good land is uncultivated.Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for immigrants to think of going to that place.Here, only businessmen are the exception, as long as there are huge profits to be made, they don't care where they go.

Cotton cloth and cotton textile machinery have existed for a long time.However, the current cotton production is small, and almost all the main cotton products are used in the army.So in the market, the price of cotton products is quite high.

Those businessmen, as soon as they heard that the emperor wanted to grow cotton on a large scale in the Gobi Desert, they were eager to try.Moreover, I heard that the imperial court ordered that as long as they are willing to go to the Gobi Desert to grow cotton, the imperial court will not only not charge land money, but also provide seeds for free, which completely ignited their enthusiasm.
