After Wang Yan proclaimed himself emperor, most of them moved forward steadily according to the originally established route.

Before taking over the southern region, some of the princes and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, except for a few high-level officials, were basically demoted to civilians by Wang Yan and lived in Nanjing, the hometown of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Wang Yan also said very generously that after three generations, one can join the army or become an official. As for the remnant reactionaries of the Ming Dynasty, those clansmen who were unwilling to give up, and the group of people who were gathering their strength to wait for the death of Wang Yan, Wang Yan only dealt with a group of people who jumped out to seek death first. The remaining Wang Yan didn't move. There was really no need. As long as those people didn't mess up, Wang Yan wouldn't deal with them.

Regarding land reform, tax reform, and the anti-Confucian cultural movement, overall progress in the south was smoother than in the north. After all, the gentry and landlords have been basically destroyed by the peasant army, and many people in the south supported the opposition in the north before and put in a lot of effort. Now the rest are not worth mentioning at all.

The maritime merchant families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas were all fucking copied before Wang Yan ascended the throne. These people have absolutely no good things, and they only have excuses to punish them. He just had no excuse to copy it, so what could they do?

Although his crazy attacks on big businesses may have a certain impact on the business environment. But Wang Yan will never let the previous businessmen continue to roam freely in his Chinese empire, because the thinking of these businessmen is wrong, and it is useless to keep them, but they are more useful in building the country.

What he needs is businessmen under his will to punish anyone who disobeys. Although capital is a beast, any businessman who has grown to a certain level will involuntarily seek political status, attempt to control the country, and change laws. But there will definitely be no such people as Wang Yan's subordinates. As for the subordinates of the later king...

That's not what he should be worried about...

After basically eliminating the vast majority of gentry, landlords and wealthy merchants, and being able to collect taxes, Wang Yan liberalized the market, allowing free buying and selling on the basis of national regulation, opening sea restrictions, and allowing ocean-going trade. Wang Yan even opened up the grain, salt, sugar, iron, silk, tea and other industries. But similarly, Wang Yan also established a state-owned company, a royal company or something.

In order to do business, Wang Yan directly abolished the original banks and established a royal bank. The specific implementation was based on the later banks. Collect deposits, grant agricultural loans, commercial loans, etc. At the same time, he did not prohibit businessmen from jointly establishing banks, but again, they had to be under the supervision of his Royal Bank. If someone is crazy about money, just go to work, there is no other way...

Of course, it is said that the sea ban is just that his Xuanwu Sea Guards no longer rob...

Wang Yan also had to stop. Because he grabbed it too hard before, now domestic ships can't go out, and foreign ships don't wander this way. Even before, Wang Yan's fleet collided with the one in the west and was completely destroyed... So since they didn't come, he had to go out.

He even opened the ports of Japan, Taiwan, Luzon, Champa, Mughal and other Southeast Asian places that had been operating for a long time to provide supplies to his maritime merchants. Of course, it was not free. Although it belonged to his own family, it should be You still have to collect the money.

At the same time, Tianjin, Weihai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fuzhou, Guangdong, Qiongzhou and other coastal areas are all starting construction. There are expansions of ports but no new ports. As for Omen and Hong Kong Island, which were invaded and occupied by the local people in Guangdong in collusion with Portugal and Britain, Wang Yan had already arrested them, and a group of foreign devils were at work.

To say that he had robbed only these two families before, after being beaten by him, his family did not dare to fart even after being caught. Wang Yan guessed that he was holding back his energy to develop technology to build cannons and warships, and wanted to come back to kill him. That is to say, he doesn't have enough manpower now, and he is temporarily beyond his reach. Otherwise, he would have gone to their hometown...

His armored warships are now being launched like crazy. Since he unified the north, he has more available population resources and more craftsmen. Coupled with the industrial base he has developed for many years, his production capacity is full. Even steam engine-powered warships have recently begun to take shape. It is estimated that the first-generation large-scale model will be built in another 57-8 years, and it is estimated that it will be launched into the ocean within 15 years.

More than ten years have passed. In the second year after Wang Yan became emperor, that is, in the summer of the second year of China, the steam train was officially developed after nearly twenty years of development. Of course, the past twenty years have not been purely about research on steam trains. Many applications of steam engines have been developed and have been used in light and heavy industries in Liaodong for a long time. There is also the research on battleship power, etc., which has divided the energy, and now it has finally come to fruition.

Now that the small trains have come out, construction of the railway must begin. In the future, railway transportation will replace water transportation, which will be more efficient and the material turnover will be more flexible.

The original Cao Gang had been abolished by Wang Yan a long time ago. It was a pure underworld, and his men did not need such a force. Even because of the Caogang issue, those who were domineering in the local area, relatives of certain officials, and those who undermined the stability of the local area were all arrested.

Regarding the construction of railways, Wang Yan wants to build one from the outer Xing'an Mountains and Eastern Siberia, through Liaodong, Jingcheng, Kaifeng, Wuchang, Changsha, and other places to Guangdong in the south, one to the major port cities in the coastal areas, and two Railways run throughout the north and south. There is also a railway that goes directly from the capital to the Western Regions and connects the east and west. These three will take ten to eight years to build, and the remaining ones will continue to spread with the capital as the center.

The construction of railways will inevitably involve large-scale steel smelting and recruitment of workers. In today's era of relatively backward technology, the number of jobs provided is really overwhelming. Wang Yan did not force him to recruit people, he paid them wages. This will stimulate domestic demand and expand the market, which will definitely bring huge profits. When the railway is completed and opened to traffic, it will greatly promote the development of exchanges between the north and the south. There is no doubt about the benefits.

With such a thing as iron ore, Wang Yan's armored battleship still lacks that thing? Moreover, he has already reached Luzon. A few steps further south is the New World, which ranks among the top in iron ore resources in the world. If that doesn't work, he can also go north to Qin Tsarist Russia, where the iron ore reserves are sufficient. It just so happens that there are occasional conflicts at the border. It's okay to do it. Why not just do something big?

In fact, if it weren't for the shortage of people, Wang Yan's pace of expansion would never stop.

The population of the entire China has been calculated, totaling more than 137 million. Among them, men and children make up the majority, while women and the elderly make up the minority. And overall, there are more southerners than northerners. You can understand it if you think about it. The north has rebelled, and they have been dead for more than ten years.

In comparison, the area of ​​cultivated land in the north and the south is more in the north, but the water resources are more in the south. The conflict between man and land is more prominent in the south, and the population density is higher. Of course, this situation is not feasible. After all, there are no people in such a large area of ​​land that Wang Yan conquered. It is definitely a huge waste of resources to allow the south to continue to be so prominent. Therefore, Wang Yan directly ordered the people in the south to move north. Although it is difficult to leave my hometown, the land given by Wang Yan and the tax exemption are enough to offset the worries.

In fact, had the technical conditions not been immature, Wang Yan would have wanted to launch the subsequent South-to-North Water Diversion Project...

The population in the south moved north, and correspondingly, the population in remote areas in the west and areas with low food production moved eastward. This was something Wang Yan had been thinking about before. After all, his territory is so big that he really doesn't miss those lands. Wang Yan has even arranged for manpower to be responsible for returning farmland to forests.

Wang Yan attaches great importance to population growth. We should still implement the previous birth plan, as long as the child is born, land and money will be given. Similarly, all children's schooling is compulsory education, and they don't have to spend a penny. The most important thing is to take care of their food.

After unifying the south, a large number of old masters were harvested. Although it was still far from enough for those who needed education, it was much better than before. When these first batch of children grow up, there will be no problem at all in universal education.

As for the resources he spends on promoting education, is that a big deal? If you don’t have it in your hands, you can’t hold it anymore, just grab it... Besides, its overall production capacity is getting stronger day by day, the cultivated land area at home and abroad is constantly expanding, and the best varieties are constantly selected and cultivated, and the yield It's definitely getting better every year. In addition to the cattle and sheep on the grassland, the domestic pigs, chickens, ducks, etc. are also growing, so the problem is not that big. With the existing resources, it can easily feed a population of 140 million.

There is also a key religious issue. Wang Yanqing had already taken care of Buddhism when he was clearing the land, and at the same time dismissed a large number of monks who had no ultimatum. As for Taoism, Wang Yan basically didn't do much, and his problems were much smaller. He established the Religious Administration. As before, if you want to become a monk or a Taoist priest, you must obtain an official certificate. Moreover, both Buddhism and Taoism have targets every year.

Wang Yan basically doesn't care much about political affairs. Although his cabinet is inevitably trying to gain political power, the overall direction is sound. In addition to his daily routine of traveling around the harem, he basically does two things. One is to guide a group of master craftsmen in research and development, and the other is to study traditional Chinese medicine. The secret guard will detect other things, and he is not afraid of anyone deceiving them. The empire is still under his absolute control.

In the past ten years, the population of China has exceeded 168 million. Food prices have dropped to a very low level. The food stored in Changpingcang in major cities is enough to feed 200 million people for two years. At the same time, in order to consume excess grain, the brewing industry is highly developed. Feeding pigs, chickens, ducks, etc. are basically prepared by mixing grain with fodder. In ten years, although Wang Yan could not make everyone eat meat every now and then, there was no problem at all eating meat every once in a while.

Of the three railways mentioned earlier, except for the east-west one, two north-south railways have been completed and opened to traffic. It is very busy with cargo transportation, passenger transportation, etc., traveling between the north and south.

It is worth mentioning that in the seventh year of China's history, there was a great flood. Although Wang Yan has been doing the work of dredging rivers and improving water conservancy, there is really nothing Wang Yan can do about this kind of catastrophe. After all, even four hundred years later, the flood will still be uncontrollable.

After these ten years, Wang Yan's army has reached two million, and the number of policemen in the Security Department has reached 500,000. The first batch of veterans who followed Wang Yan to conquer the world have basically all come down.

The eldest brother of the Mughal Empire was a puppet who was helped up. It can be said that he has actually conquered the entire Mughal Empire. At the same time, Nanyang, Japan, Luzon, etc. are basically similar models. The main issue is population, it has to be like this, otherwise it will directly take away how good his business is.

At that time, the first batch of children in Liaodong had grown up and participated in all walks of life. Some became craftsmen, some joined the army, some joined politics, some became wives, and some became policemen.

It's okay to say that those who are engaged in other industries are those who are engaged in politics. Wang Yan is most concerned about it. After all, he has tolerated the previous civil servants for a long time. These kids are at the bottom when they first start working. This is the most important thing. Wang Yan stipulated that central officials must have grassroots experience.

If the relationship in the family is strong, of course it is possible to arrange an iron rice bowl. Wang Yan cannot handle this kind of thing where relationships are convenient. However, this kind of people will never reach a high position even if they work hard to death. If there is such a thing that can go up, then it has to be killed from top to bottom.

After several years of work, the first batch of children have already reached the town level with outstanding performance.

Judging from the current situation of the Chinese Empire, governing the Tang and Song Dynasties, and reaching the Han and Tang Dynasties is an insult to Wang Yan.

In the past 20 years of China's history, the population has reached more than 213 million. Because Wang Yan encourages childbearing, as long as the child is born, there is basically no need to worry about being able to support him unless he is seriously ill. When China was founded, so many children were born who had grown up, got married, and had children. They were basically lifeless children.

Wang Yan himself stopped having children after giving birth to his twentieth son. In this life, he had a total of twenty sons and twenty-six daughters.

It would be no fun to have too many children, and the previous eldest and second children were all in their thirties, and his grandchildren were getting married and having children soon.

As for his children and so on, except for a few who are just waiting to die, most of them are quite pursuing. The boss, second child, third child, etc. are all leading troops to fight outside. Except for a few of her daughters, including Er Yatou, who joined the army, most of them were in politics. Among his children, the eldest is now a prefect. You know, he didn't get any help, he came from the village chief. Of course, just because they are Wang Yan's children, work goes very smoothly and it is easy to achieve results...

In the past forty years of China's history, the population has exceeded 372 million. Now I have basically reached the point where I can eat meat if I want to. The staple food has also changed from coarse grains to fine grains.

Because the population increased, the expansion war started again. The soldiers marched in threes and twos, all the way to the sea, all the way to the Western Regions, all the way north to attack Tsarist Russia.

In recent years, with the expansion of the territory, the garrison, overseas immigration, etc., the exchanges between the East and the West have increased, and the number of new mixed-race children has increased year by year.

Infrastructure construction such as railways, cement roads, and water conservancy projects are still under construction. Roads at the village level are now basically completed.

The development of steam engines up to now has been developing in the direction of engines. Power is no longer dependent on coal, but is being researched on oil.

Electricity has also been produced. The application of electric lights has been promoted in Shuntianfu, the richest place.

The New World has already reached North and South America. Wang Yan's invincible fleet is galloping across the ocean, and whoever wants to beat him up.

Also this year, Wang Yan turned seventy-eight, and his women were basically the same age. Ding Baiying is six years older than Wang Yan and left five years ago. Miaoxuan didn't have it last year, and Miaotong is almost there now. The other women, one after another, are basically the same. In fact, it's quite good to be alive until now, and some of Wang Yan's children have begun to leave.

In the 80 years of China's history, the population has reached more than 894 million. Wang Yan achieved his original goal of a population of 500 million and far exceeded it. With the continuous advancement of transportation methods and storage methods, the dining tables of ordinary people have become more and more colorful, such as chicken, duck, fish, rice grains, fruits and vegetables, etc. Up to now, it has completely changed the Chinese people diet structure.

The current number of troops is eight million. Neighboring Europe has been captured long ago, and if there are no major problems there, there will basically be no changes. Because Wang Yan has developed a radio, the speed of information transmission has been greatly improved, and accordingly, his control over the local area has become more powerful.

Judging from the current map of China, there is no problem at all in saying that Wang Yan's ball is long.

In the past eighty years, Wang Yan's greatest concern is undoubtedly the development and construction of traditional Chinese medicine. At the same time, after studying for so long, his level of traditional Chinese medicine has reached LV5.

The improvement of the secret medicine that he had been thinking about for nearly five generations had finally been replaced by cheaper medicines. At the same time, the efficacy of the medicine was far beyond the meager expectations he had originally thought. Due to the supply of medicinal materials, there is no way to supply large amounts of medicine to the little ones. However, when the production of medicinal materials increases in the future, there will be no problem in large-scale popularization. It's just that Wang Yan can't see it.

He has already felt that his vitality is slowly passing away, his body is getting worse day by day, and he has returned to the state of the previous generation of masters in their twilight years. The only difference is that this time he was fighting with cold weapons and had just ordinary stab wounds, so his body didn't have many root causes and was far more comfortable than last time.

He has handed over power to his most promising fourth generation grandson, who is in his fifties and is a descendant of Wang Junren.

In the eighty-first year of China, New Year's Eve, night.

Instead of being busy with a bunch of descendants whom he could not recognize, Wang Yan, who was already 119 years old, sat alone on his dragon chair, watching the falling snow outside the hall and the fireworks that exploded in the sky from time to time. His eyes were deep, as if he could see thousands of lights outside through the palace walls...

I don't know how long it took, but Wang Yan let out a long sigh...

Blue light flashed...
