The strongest son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty

Li Er never thought that there would be so much land in the sea.

When the sea area of ​​Pearl Island was included in the empire's territory and the Kangaroo Continent was captured by Lu Xun, Li Er was speechless for a long time.

Because the kangaroo continent is too big.

There are only scattered indigenous people on it, but the total number is only tens of thousands, so a few people occupy a continent.

At present, under the leadership of Du He, many big families in China have begun to send people to the Kangaroo Continent to set up farms and pastures.

The Majiujia area became the empire's rubber plantation base and oil exploration base.

The size of the empire is large, and there is no situation where the people have no land to grow.

The big families who originally opposed the imperial ladder policy now invest their funds in commerce and industry and get good returns.

Let these families also willingly support the policies formulated by the empire.

"Commander, where is General Xue Li fighting now?"

Li Erdao.

"Your Majesty, General Xue's army has advanced to the Ural Mountains and the West Sea. However,

According to Du He, the imperial army could not advance any further.The traffic problem must be solved before the conquest can be resumed. "

Li Jing said.

Li Er looked at the map, the more he looked at it, the better his mood.

An emperor from ancient times!

Who has the ability to lay down such a large territory.

I am pleased!

Chapter 510

In the blink of an eye, Du He went to Chinatown for more than half a year.

The influence of Chinatown has gradually spread, whether it is daily consumer goods or military products produced by the Tang Empire, they are sought after by the world.

The flintlock guns and bullets purchased by Egypt, Parthia, Eastern Rome, Ala and other countries have been delivered and are loved by soldiers from all over the world.

The combat effectiveness has improved to a certain extent, and inter-regional conflicts have intensified, so the consumption of bullets has also skyrocketed, and orders have grown rapidly.

Product demand has developed from silk, ceramics, cloth, tea, perfume, soap and other products to food, warships, glass, cement, steel and other materials.

Thus greatly enriching the imperial product supply line.

Seeing the profitable opportunities, many merchants in the empire brought their goods into Zhongyuan City and Chinatown.

With the arrival of a large number of merchants, the demand for shops increased, and Duhe had to expand the scale of Chinatown.

Recruitment of locals is also booming, especially women in the service sector.

The rigid demand for waiters in various shops, washing centers, and entertainment venues has attracted beautiful women from all over the place to come here.

In order to meet the market demand, Du He ordered the construction of a washing and entertainment street.

The requirements are extremely strict. Service personnel must undergo physical examinations every week and obtain job certificates. Otherwise, they are prohibited from working.

Anyone who dares to know the law and break the law, once found out, the boss will face a huge fine, and the service personnel will be blacklisted.

There are not only Chinese people engaged in washing and entertainment industries, but also outsiders operating in Chinatown.

But what?

No matter who you are, this industry is definitely heavily taxed.

If you want to evade taxes or evade taxes, don't be ridiculous. Once you find out, you will face heavy fines and be blacklisted.

What pleased Du He the most was the popularization of the imperial language.

When foreigners come to purchase goods, they must understand. It is very inconvenient to always ask the translator to come forward.

This has prompted gringos to learn the Central Plains dialect one after another.

All of a sudden, training classes for Central Plains dialect mushroomed like mushrooms after rain.

Promoted the cultural invasion of the Central Plains.

Due to the market orientation, various western habits and hobbies have been fed back, and the imperial production enterprises produce according to the needs.

Make the products produced by the empire more competitive.

Some foreign businessmen, smelling business opportunities, also set up shops in Chinatown, selling various small commodities produced locally.

Central Plains City and Chinatown are under military control, and there is no civilian control. Businessmen who enter Central Plains City and Chinatown must abide by the law.

Otherwise, they face expulsion, heavy fines, and even imprisonment.

When imperial merchants entered Zhongyuan City and Chinatown, they were absolutely unanimous in terms of merchandise sales.

No one dares to lower the price indiscriminately.

To put it simply, a price monopoly is formed to obtain high profits.

The rules are formulated by the City Lord's Mansion, and all shops must implement them.

Chinatown is not all smooth sailing, and has also experienced several local invasions, attacks, riots, etc. from other countries.

In the face of the mighty strength of the imperial army, the troops from other countries who came to attack fell from their horses one after another and were killed one by one.

In particular, there were a few times when the Allahs robbed the city and were shot dead by imperial soldiers immediately.

Seeing the bravery of the soldiers of the imperial army made some people with ulterior motives shrink back, not daring to reach out to Chinatown and Central Plains City.

The imperial army made a great name in Chinatown.

There is no way, during this period of transition between cold and hot weapons, the rifles in the hands of the imperial army are purely crushing and pushing horizontally.

The port is very busy, with several merchant ships coming in a day.

To this end, Duhe ordered the expansion of three unloading docks, so that the port has five unloading ports that can berth.

Lu Xun took the Kangaroo Continent and received an order to increase the strength of a regiment and dozens of warships to Chinatown.

"Bo Yan, Lao Peng, you have worked hard!"

Doo Ho said.

Not seeing each other for several years, the two seem more mature and stable.

"I have seen the young master!"

Two people said.

Du He poured three glasses of red wine, one for each.

Take a sip.

"Bo Yan, what's the situation in Kangaroo Continent?"

Doo Ho said.

"The mainland of kangaroos is very large, and some aborigines on the island are difficult to eliminate. Through our efforts, we only captured more than 1 people, almost half of them. The rest of the aborigines have entered the virgin forest and can only be captured slowly."

Lawson Road.

Capturing the aborigines is a dirty job, and the imperial army can't get their hands on it, because it won't have a good reputation.

How to do it?

Duhe was thinking about who to do the dirty work of capturing the aborigines.

"By the way, Lao Peng, whether we marines or soldiers from the imperial army, we are really not suitable for arresting aborigines.

Let some criminals in the country be released early and let them do the work of arresting indigenous people.How much is paid for each arrest,

Throwing these dirty jobs out, the imperial army can't touch them, what do you think? "

Doo Ho said.

"Young master, you are right! The imperial army is a regular army after all, we must pay attention to the influence, we must not let some people catch Bian Zi, we must protect the glorious image of the imperial army."

Peng Yue said.

"Master, it is an opportunity for criminals to arrest them, and they are definitely willing to do it. The question is how about the weapons and equipment?"

Lawson Road.

Du He nodded.

Ever since the airship came into being, the several divisions under Peng Yue were basically equipped to the level of regimental commander, and usually patrolled the area.

Once the natives are found, they will open fire immediately.

Those who enter the prison will definitely have their money confiscated.

There is money on hand to buy equipment such as weapons and airships.

"Old Peng, the aborigines are hiding in the forest. Apart from patrol boats, what better way to catch them?"

Doo Ho said.

"Master, whether it is the islands in the Majiuka area or the Kangaroo mainland, there are many primitive jungles.

It is very difficult for soldiers to enter. If you are not careful after entering, you will encounter the bows and arrows of the natives, which are stained with poison. You can only patrol by airships. There is no better way. "

Peng Yue said.

"Young master, it is not an easy task to release criminals. It needs the approval of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and His Majesty, otherwise it will be difficult to operate."

Lawson Road.

Yes!

After all, when it comes to the majesty of the law, no one dares to agree easily.

But what?

Some political prisoners are still possible.

"I will write a letter to Li Er on this matter, and I will leave everything to Li Er to decide. As for weapons and airships, you can consider getting a bank loan. Establish a few more security companies to wipe the ass of the imperial army."

Doo Ho said.

"Master, if His Majesty agrees, there will be no problem."

Lawson Road.

"By the way, Boyan, have the experts discovered any mines on those islands and the Kangaroo Continent?"

Doo Ho said.

Lu Xun and Peng Yue nodded.

"Master, in the sea area of ​​Majiujia, our prospectors discovered several large gold mines,

Copper mines, lead-zinc mines, but the roads are too difficult to walk, and they cannot be mined for the time being.Just buy the hills down.

After the road is rebuilt in the future, we will consider mining. The scale of oil field expansion will basically meet the needs of the empire.

On the Kangaroo Continent, there are not only gold mines, silver mines, copper mines, iron mines, but also many other minerals.

The most abundant is forest resources.

However, the traffic on the Kangaroo Continent is not good, and it is temporarily impossible to mine, and the exploration is not over yet. "

Lawson Road.

"How about land development?"

Doo Ho said.

In Du He's mind, the Kangaroo Continent is definitely a very good place, the best place to grow and raise food and animal husbandry.

Chapter 511 Advance Westward

"Master, the sea area of ​​Majiujia is well developed! Many big families have sent people to plant rubber,

fruit etc.Kangaroo Continent is a bit difficult, that place is too far away, and currently only dozens of companies have entered. "

Lawson Road.
