Valley Emperor

Anyway, for the military, the matter of the labor service company doesn't really matter much. Is there anything to fight against the natives? If you can't get any military exploits, you can at most serve as a labor guard.

Doing this kind of thing can't make the army or navy appear more important and show off, so as to compete for more military spending, so they just lack interest.

It just said that the military will cooperate with the needs of the empire's strategy, but don't expect them to cheer for this. If there is time, they might as well fight behind closed doors between the army and navy.

In the end, Li Xuan still approved the plan negotiated by the cabinet, which was a small opening for the strict localization policy.

To this end, the subordinates of the Immigration and Reclamation Department will set up a special indigenous labor department to be responsible for this matter. The main task of the department is to strictly guard against it, and must not allow these indigenous laborers to infiltrate and undermine Datang's localization policy.

In order to better arrange their own control, they are handed over to four specially established labor service companies directly under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, which are wholly-owned by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises. Indigenous labor services in different regions,

When officials from all over Nanyang struggled for localization and infrastructure construction, they sometimes sighed that the Northwest and Central Asia were a good mix.

There is no localization problem at all, and there is no shortage of immigrants from the country.

When the Tatars were in the Western Regions and Central Asia before, they retreated if they couldn’t beat them, and when they retreated, they would pack up and take away all the population.

To the Tatars, these indigenous populations are wealth.

The large swathes of Eastern Europe and Western Asia they control require a lot of labor.

Otherwise, just relying on their more than one million Tatars, and today's population of less than two million, they are still playing a fart!

This is invisibly helping Datang a lot.

When the Datang people defeated the Tatar army, they often occupied a large area of ​​no-man’s land, because the Tatars packed people away in advance.

For these uninhabited areas, there is naturally no problem of localization, and the subsequent development and construction can be directly carried out from the local immigrants.

And because the place is not bad, it is not a place where the environment is harsh and difficult to survive, and although it is a little far from home, it is not unacceptable to travel by train.

Therefore, many people in the empire are still willing to go to Central Asia.

At the same time, the terrain is also a plain terrain, and it is easy to build infrastructure. It will not be the same as the broken places in Nanyang. A lot of people will die to develop a settlement.

More importantly, the empire treats these as local operations, and there are no industrial restrictions. This railway has been built all the time.

These are conditions unmatched by other overseas territories.

Now that the situation in Central Asia has been completely stabilized, especially after the military captured Curry, the development of Central Asia has already entered the fast lane.

Last winter, the Army's cavalry vanguard had already reached the Caspian Sea, and the Railway Corporation also announced that the construction of the Central Asia Railway is progressing very smoothly.

Because they are all low-standard military railways, and they are built in the plains, the speed of road construction is very fast. It is expected that the Central Asian Railway will be built to the Caspian Sea early next year.

Once the railway is repaired to the Caspian Sea, it can be declared that Datang's Central Asia strategy has been a complete success.

Against this background, the top executives of the empire already had plans to set up provinces in Central Asia.

Before that, in fact, Datang had established multiple independent state capitals or military districts, or merged some areas into the original state capital.

For example, in the southern part of Lake Balkhash, Yibofu was established. The name was taken from the traditional ancient city of Yibohai in Lake Balkhash, but this place has become part of the mainland of the empire, and there are no Yi people on it. Naturally, such a term cannot be used.

Therefore, in the official documents, Lake Balkhash is called the Bohai Sea and the mansion established with the lake as the core. Naturally, it is also called the neck mansion.

And the province was directly incorporated into the province of Tumi as part of the province.

In addition to Yibofu, several other state capitals have also been established along the Central Asian Railway, but they are all large in size and small in population.

The empire's immigration in Central Asia is still very small, mainly concentrated in the eastern and southern parts of Lake Balkhash, that is, within the scope of the Neck Palace.

In other places, mainly established small-scale settlements, which have not yet been established.

However, this did not affect the preparation of the upper echelons of the empire to set up provinces directly in this place and completely bring them into the scope of local rule.

Just like the Northeastern Province and Hefeng Province and other regions of the year, it is not the same as there are not many people, but with the opening of the railway, the convenience of inland water transportation, the most important thing is that the land is cheap, and the government has attracted the land by giving it free of charge. A large number of immigrants arrived.

Today, the population of several provinces in the northeast is not small, and the population of Liaodong Province has reached more than two million.

The population of Western Liaoning Province is even larger, reaching more than six million. (West Liaoning in the Tang Dynasty is west of Liaohe River and south of Heilongjiang River, including the Korean Peninsula and other areas)

Even the northeastern province north of Heilongjiang now has a population of nearly 800,000.

The area of ​​Northeast Province is north of Heilongjiang, north to the Arctic Ocean, southeast to Sakhalin Island and bordering Beihai Province, northeast to Bering Strait, southwest to Lake Berga, due west to Lena River, roughly a large area of ​​eastern Siberia mountain area.

Such a northeastern province is a real icefield. Except for some rivers along the Heilongjiang River where immigrants can be immigrated, other places are basically not suitable for immigrating.

Further north in Northeast Province, there is a new province established just a few years ago, called Hexi Province. On the one hand, this refers to the area west of the Hetao Plain, but also to the west of Heilongjiang and the west of the Lena River.

Generally speaking, it is the area west of Hefeng Province, north of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Tumi Province, west of Northeast Province, east of Yenisei River, and south of the Arctic Ocean, which is the so-called Central Siberia Plateau in later generations plus the western part of Inner and Outer Mongolia. .

Although its area is not as large as that of the Northeast Province, it is also extremely large, but like the Northeast Province, most of it is unexploitable no-man’s land. Second, the real distribution of a large number of people is actually the grassland area in the south.

The Northeast and Hexi Provinces established in the northern region are limited by being too far north and the weather is harsh and difficult to develop. Therefore, the population is very small, and they are generally concentrated in the south and the places with rivers.

So although the area is large, in fact, the huge Northeast Province and Hexi Province, their population is not as good as a superior government in the south of the Yangtze River.

Not to mention big mansions like Songjiang mansion, even mansion like Changzhou and Zhenjiang have a population of more than one million!

In the western Siberia plain area in the west of Hexi Province, Datang has not set up any administrative agencies for the time being, because although Datang occasionally has cavalry troops entering the area, they are only for combat missions. As for immigration, I am sorry. ,not a single one.

If there are no people, it is naturally impossible to establish any state capital.

On the other hand, in the Central Asia region in the southern part of the Western Siberian Plain, although the number of immigrants in the empire is not large, most of the areas are no-man’s land, but because of the railway connection, it is still very easy to develop immigrants.

Therefore, although the empire did not organize large-scale immigration before, it only relied on spontaneous immigration. Today, the Central Asia area within the control area of ​​the Tang Dynasty already has hundreds of thousands of people.

And the number is still increasing rapidly.

Because there is a lot of land here, as long as you are willing to settle down here, you can receive a certain amount of land for free, and this amount can be very large.

In addition, according to the consistent handling of the frontier areas by the empire, this place will definitely become local in the future, so naturally there is no need to worry about hindering industrial and commercial investment.

Now someone has discovered a large number of high-quality copper mines in the northern area of ​​Yibo Lake (Balkhash Lake). Some daring businessmen, regardless of whether they belong to a war zone or Central Asia, can't wait to develop local copper mines.

This copper mine is a precious metal mine. Even if it is not as profitable as gold and silver mines, it is more profitable than ordinary iron and coal mines~www.wuxiaspot.com~ As long as they can make money, they are not afraid of Tatars coming. attack.

The copper mine and development in the north of Yibohu, together with the hub of the Central Asia Railway, supported the development of Yibofu, otherwise it would not have been possible to have a population of more than 100,000 in just a few years.

This is not enough. The Central Asian region is very large, and there must be a lot of various mineral resources. Even if there are no mineral resources, many places are suitable for wasteland cultivation.

Even if you can't open up wasteland for planting, you can raise horses and cattle and sheep.

In short, in the eyes of some careerists, the huge Central Asia is full of gold.

No matter what you do, you can make money, such as animal husbandry. The textile industry of the empire needs a huge amount of wool, and at the same time, countless people of the empire need mutton and beef.

Not to mention horses.

Today, horse-drawn carriages are the main short-distance means of transportation in the Tang Empire. Whether in cities or in the countryside, horse-drawn carriages are a must-have means of transportation.

Breeding horses is now basically a matter of making a profit without losing money.

Back then, when I went to the enclosure of Hefeng Province, and then started an animal husbandry company to raise horses, every one of them made a lot of money, and even ordinary herdsmen had their pockets swollen.

The subsequent establishment of Hexi Province also focused on the development of animal husbandry.

However, even so, livestock products such as wool, meat, and horses within the empire are still in short supply.

Therefore, after the army of the Empire entered Central Asia, it was actually followed by countless businessmen and immigrants. Their common goal was to run over to the enclosure first, eager to make a fortune.

The spontaneous immigration and development of the people of the empire to Central Asia has prompted the high-level empire of the empire to set up a province in Central Asia, and the determination to completely integrate this area into the mainland has accelerated the pace!
