Chapter 757: Development

Lushun has finally arrived.

At this moment, I reached the end of the journey, and soon... Zhang Jing saw countless familiar faces.

The first person I saw was his old father Zhang Tianlun.

Zhang Tianlun is getting older and older, not as energetic as before, but today people seem particularly happy when they encounter happy events.

He was the head of the Liaodong civil and military officials. In addition, there were also these intelligent figures from all walks of life in Liaodong.

Huang Taiji was wearing armor at this time and followed Zhang Tianlun in his arms.

In addition, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng were both breathing in their mouths. They also heard that Zhang Jing was about to arrive in Lushun soon, so they rushed from their base to greet the king.

After that, there were all the students of the military academy stationed in Lushun.

Lushun was originally just a nameless town. When Emperor Taizu Gao was there, he advanced from here and sent a navy to land here to attack the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty here. He finally landed here, so he specially issued an order to change this place to Lushun!

The so-called Lushun is just a sign of success in the army and the army.

But now, this coastal town has now become the first sight of a big city.

The countless skilled craftsmen who followed the Zhang family built workshops here, from shipbuilding to steel, and the branch of Donglin Military Academy in Lushun, not to mention the influx of a large number of merchants and refugees. At this time, the population of Lushun was nearly 300,000.

But this... is just the beginning, and the number of people pouring in every year is still increasing. The fundamental reason is that this place has gradually become the center of Liaodong. There are Shanggang and the largest railway station in Liaodong. Now many schools are established, which provide a lot of military supplies for the Ming Dynasty. With a large number of positions, there will always be people who are willing to make a living here.

In addition to the reserved urban land for future development, a large amount of barren land has been developed, with wheat fields along the way, although there are 300,000 people... In just a few years, the grain can be self-sufficient.

In addition, there are a large number of pastures nearby... there are much more cattle and sheep than in Guandi, so the meat price here is much cheaper than in Guandi.

As a result, many people are writing books in the pass, calling their friends, or hoping that their relatives can bring their families.

In this era, making life is extremely difficult. For many people, Lushun is the most opportunities in the world, and can basically fill your stomach without being affected by hunger and cold.

Now... in addition to the warships that manufacture iron armor, there are also a large number of docks in Lushun, and many docks have received orders for a large number of civilian ships.

Especially after defeating the Folangji Navy, many people have realized that they may be able to trade the whole world as an outlet.

The reason why many people are willing to go out to sea is that on the one hand, the Zhang family is here, and the first to propose the entry and exit of civilian ships in the palace. It is not like the ports within the pass. Although the sea has been completely opened, in fact, local governments still have many restrictions. There is no need to worry about the coming and going of merchant ships.

On the other hand, the shipbuilding industry here is developed.

Everyone welcomed Zhang Jingyi and his family to the Liao Prince's Mansion.

The Liao Palace covers a large area.

After all, this place was originally a barren land, and Zhang Tianlun had already thought that he would have a lot of children and grandchildren in the future. Therefore... whether the house was made of carved beams and painted buildings was second-most important, it was large enough.

Zhang Jingyi first greeted Zhang Tianlun, and the father and son couldn't help but sigh.

After the banquet and settled down, many people came to visit.

The first person to visit and discuss privately were Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

When Zhang Jing invited them to sit down, the two seemed a little restrained. At this time, there was no way the style of the Shan Dawang, but it looked more like the twisted young wife.

Of course, this is just facing Zhang Jingyi. If it were someone else, the momentum of the bandit king would still make people tremble.

Looking at Zhang Jingyi's easy-going face, Li Zicheng took the lead and said, "Your Highness will enter Liaoning this time, and the soldiers and civilians around Liaodong will have the backbone."

Zhang Jing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then smiled and said, "This is a harsh word. Everyone lives a life. What's the point of whether I am here or not? Why, the brothers are living well."

"It's great." Li Zicheng's eyes were very sincere. He looked at Zhang Jingyi and said sincerely: "People have settled down and have land to cultivate. The mines in various places are willing to pay salaries. The main thing is that they have land. Everyone is at ease. Now this is our own home. We can have enough food and have enough money in a year. Why are we not at ease? To be honest, when we didn't cause trouble, we were hungry and cold when we were not in trouble, we were in trouble and went on a thousand miles away. There was no need to say about the sufferings in this. Now, we have truly lived a peaceful life. With the land and farming ourselves, we feel at ease."

"Now, all young people with some promising prospects are willing to go to school, and many people are determined to take the military academy! In fact... in the eyes of the court, we may be cunning and cruel, but... Let me say the truth. It was really hard before. Now that we have a peaceful life, who has other thoughts?"

As he said, he said, "Now, there are schools, clinics, markets in several places where we gather. We can rely on railways to transport our harvests by railways, exchange for some silver, and the goods outside can also come in. This is all because of Your Highness. I will not obey others in my life, but only your Highness."

Zhang Jingyi thought of something at this time and couldn't help but say, "Do you know a little about the situation in Beijing?"

Li Zicheng did not hesitate about this question and honestly said: "I know a little."

Zhang Jing nodded and said, "Many people in Beijing say that you must rebel. All kinds of rumors are flying everywhere, but I think you will never rebel again. If I believe your promise, this is overstatement, but I know... Whether you rebel or not, you were just to fill your stomach. As long as you can place people, everyone will be good people."

Zhang Jingyi's words were obviously not mixed with any falsehood.

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but sigh, "That's the extreme, Your Highness's words... are really our feelings and our true words. But Your Highness, I have a reluctant request."

He said, and looked at Li Zicheng.

The two seemed to have discussed it before they came.

Zhang Jing didn't mind, so she smiled and said, "After saying that, say whatever she wants."

Zhang Xianzhong said: "In Liaodong, with the support of His Highness, the Jiannu people continued to explore the extreme north. I heard that there were still many forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, including many Khanate. The Jiannu Eight Banners have been going deep and fighting with the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and have opened up a lot of land. To be honest, I, Lao Zhang, have fought for half a lifetime to make me idle. The bones all over my body are really itchy. I, Lao Zhang, can do the things that the Jiannu Eight Banners can do, and I can still organize some men and fight all the way north. No matter what the other is, it is no worse than the Jiannu people."

Li Zicheng also quickly interrogated: "Actually, that's what I meant."

As soon as Zhang Jing heard this, he knew what they were thinking, and he was not surprised.

In fact, the Zhang family was enfeoffed in Liaodong, but Liaodong is just a concept of land, but only God knows where the boundary is.

In this era, there is no land boundary. To put it bluntly, it means who controls there and who belongs to this place.

As for the imperial court, it was all over the world that was the king's land. Liaodong was granted to the Zhang family, but in fact they were too lazy to care about it.

Therefore, after the Jiannu surrendered, Zhang Jingyi left Huang Taiji, which actually had this meaning. These Jiannu people... made them restore their previous fishing and hunting life, but they might not be willing to let them farm and work, but it seems that they are not safe.

So Zhang Jingyi simply distributed food and weapons to them, allowing the elderly, weak, women and children to move to various places, and still distributed some land and cattle and horses to them, while the rest of the strength allowed them to explore the outside world.

The Jiannu people have been in Liaodong for a long time. Whether it is the Jiannu Jurchen or the Haixi Jurchen, they have long been accustomed to this extremely cold weather.

When distributing their excellent weapons, they were not worried about their rebellion. After all, the Jiannu people were already afraid of being beaten, and their families were all in the back.

The land was developed and the head was offered. The Zhang family naturally occupied this land, but the amount of land they had won was given as much bounty. This was like the entire Eight Banners, which was hired by Zhang Jingyi.

Wherever they fought, the Zhang family sent people to garrison there, and then opened up a grain channel to explore nearby resources and terrain.

As for the outer Liaodong area at this time, it has always been the various khanates left by the Mongols when they whipped the world.

For example, the closest thing to Liaodong is the Siberian Khanate! This Siberian Khanate was split from the Golden Horde. It had a small population, only 200,000, and its productivity was extremely low. It seemed to occupy a vast land, but in fact... it was all bitter and cold in the extreme north.

Of course...the Ming Dynasty still calls it the Siberian Khanate, but in fact...there has been annexed by Tsarist Russia, and the main capital has fallen into the hands of the Tsarist.

Only the areas bordering Liaodong are occupied by the remnants of the Siberian Khanate. Now... the Eight Banners began to invade this vast southeastern region of Siberia like wolves and tigers, and cleared the remnants of the Siberian Khanate, like wind sweeping away the remaining clouds, destroying them.

In fact, this is understandable. The Eight Banners cannot defeat the Donglin Army, and can't defeat you, the remnants of the Siberian Khanate?

Therefore, they fearlessly conquered the city and the Zhang family was very happy. The young and strong men worked hard in the front, while their wives, children and parents in the back had no rewards, and they lived a good life in Liaodong.
