Chapter 153 If you want to get rich, build roads first, have more children, and climb the technological tree
After the battle at Luolin City and the burning of the eighteen princes to ashes, no one dared to touch Duke Tulip's tiger beard, even Xingluo, who had been clamoring to send troops to teach the invaders a lesson and show the majesty of the suzerain country.
The empire also shut up.
According to reliable information, Duke Tulip is stronger than the strongest man in the empire, White Tiger Douluo. Just to drive him away, he would have to kill one of the empire's main battle legions alive.
For the sake of a tributary country, he fought hard until his vitality was severely damaged in order to enhance the country's prestige. The current emperor of the Xingluo Empire is not the Emperor of Qin and Han Wu. Where does this kind of courage come from? After all, it is just a tributary country that listens to edicts but not announcements. Tulip Duke
He was also sensible, and he generously handed over the tributes from both empires, euphemistically calling it a lease.
To be honest, it is quite shameless to rent land from one country and pay rent to another country, but if you have money and guns, you can do whatever you want.
The political chiefs in the large and small counties of the Luolin Kingdom were somewhat discerning, and they all knew that they were done. They handed the limited household registration information and documents to the city lord's palace, and then ran away with the money with other powerful families.
Everyone knew that the Tulip Duke wanted to equalize the land, so these people sold all the real estate at low prices before leaving to reduce losses, which also made it easier for Cheng Ying to occupy these territories.
After about three weeks, the original Luolin Kingdom has fallen into pieces and formed a state of separatism. The Tulip Dukedom exclusively occupies the northern half of the Luolin Kingdom, plus Soto City and its surrounding villages on the north bank of the Cao River, bounded by the line of Luolin City.
, becoming the new largest principality in the Tiandou Empire.
The Balak Kingdom was occupied by a Soto city. I was very unhappy at first and wanted to ask Duke Tulip for an explanation. In the blink of an eye, I saw the Luolin Kingdom being pinned to the ground and beaten to death. I didn't dare to let out another fart.
Cheng Ying dispatched the talent pool he had cultivated in the manor to station in various cities and take over the government affairs. At first, the rule was extremely strict and the household registration system was enforced.
The unclear ID card made of silver iodide must be used by everyone. When passing through the pass, staying in a hotel, etc., the identity information must be verified. Once a vicious incident occurs in any place, all people who have not registered their identity information will be subject to prosecution.
.
Such a system is naturally opposed by local soul masters. Although the household registration system is not as excessive as the Mutant Registration Act, it is also extremely restrictive for soul masters and deprives them of their superior rights.
Those who kill will be put to death and those who injure others will be punished. These principles, which seem normal to us, are unacceptable constraints to many soul masters.
That sense of superiority that I am a soul master and killing people is not normal has been engraved in my bones. Regarding these people, Cheng Ying's attitude is also very clear. Either leave the duchy or die. Cheng Ying believes that these people will soon
It will be really fragrant.
The internal security of the Tulip Duchy was restored to stability within a month under a mature system. Due to the previous war, a large amount of winter wheat in the territory missed the sowing time, and it is difficult to achieve any results in replanting now.
Fortunately, there is enough food and grass in the Chengying belt, and the familiar work-for-relief method is still used. Before next year's summer harvest, most of the people's consumption will be provided by the duchy government.
Because of the previous land equalization incident, the Tulip Duke's credibility was still very secure. After several incidents of tree planting at the city gate, this group of people was organized by Cheng Ying's engineering team to build roads.
The group of architectural masters from before ran to the Cao River and transformed into bridge-building wizards, saying that they must build a cross-river bridge connecting both sides of the river to accumulate experience for the subsequent construction of the Doujiang Bridge.
Chengying gave me a lot of money, mainly because in my previous life I saw bridge-building wizards who saved money and didn’t even know who they were, driving Heshen simulators to build bridges, and they even said they wanted to make the driver feel like a goat.
It was really scary. He was really afraid that this artery in his territory would be turned into a disposable item.
As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, have more children, and climb the technological tree. The following is compiled by Chengying himself, and it is more in line with the current situation of this era. The main contradiction of this era is that it has not completely escaped from the dangerous natural environment and backwardness.
social production.
More people can be fed by Chengying. By forcibly synthesizing ammonia, chemical fertilizers are no longer out of reach. Nitrogen fertilizers combined with plant ash and the like, not to mention absorbing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium below three meters like Jinkeli, can also make food production easier.
If you look at it, having a baby is absolutely fine.
As for building roads, that is necessary. Without roads, how can he drain the blood of the entire continent... Ah! That means providing high-quality light and heavy industrial products for the entire continent.
Railways and highways go hand in hand. After all, transportation cannot rely solely on storage soul guides. Regular transportation still relies on trains. Anyway, there are many coal mines in Douluo Continent, and there is one next to Luolin City.
In shallow coal mines, the mining speed is impressive with explosives, and steam engines are used to pump water, so the efficiency is extremely high. There is no pressure in deep mine operations.
As for export commodities, currently they are mainly large-scale light industrial products, large-scale textile factories, and chemical plants. In the future, the money spent on fertilizers can be exchanged for enough food to feed the people.
The most advanced float glass production method allows liquid glass to float on molten metal tin. The price of large flat glass can be as low as cabbage. Even if someone learns the art of burning glass, they can still sell pirated products.
Can't afford it.
In addition, soap, liquor, perfume, and agricultural machinery factories were also put into operation, absorbing a large number of working people. The people of the Duchy soon discovered that working in factories was actually more profitable than farming. A large number of labor-intensive light industries
A factory was also established.
The entire territory presents a strange kind of prosperity. The simplest electric transport vehicles, like tractors, are running around the territory. The thermal power plants are operating at full capacity, and their scale is expanding every day, in order to provide cancer cells.
Battery charging is in short supply.
All of this is happening silently this winter, and none of the surrounding kingdoms know it. Soon, they will experience a crushing economic and cultural invasion. The cheap light industrial products will make their emperor see it with his own eyes.
Has the country’s wealth shrunk at a speed that is visible to the naked eye?
As for cultural invasion...
Let's put it this way... The full-color edition of Meng Shu's paintings has begun to be printed, and Chengying has even promulgated a "Xiuer Project" to recruit artists from all over the continent who are interested in art to come here to display their talents.
Not to mention these distant places, mahjong and playing cards have long been popular across the entire continent. They are made of simple materials and have various ways of playing. Their superiority has been verified countless times by history.
Chengying himself, on the other hand, does not look like a qualified lord at all. He is addicted to magic all day long and cannot extricate himself.
