Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 759 Cultural Fusion
"The Emperor is mighty! The Emperor is mighty! Long live the Emperor! Long live me!"

Cabinet ministers knelt down and shouted.

"Now that I have occupied the capitals of Jin and Shu, I have planted our flag in both countries. If other dynasties want to go to war with us, I will be happy to do so."

"I thought about it and before the Chinese New Year, we will completely take back the territories of the two countries and open a straight road from Hengyang City to the west to Jin and Shu to facilitate the transportation of our military supplies."

Lu Hao continued.

To the west of the empire is the Lingyun Mountains, which are connected with the ethnic minority mountainous areas in the southwest. There is no real official road.

If you want to go to the western border, you must detour through Hangu Pass and enter the Baowo Plain before entering the Jin Kingdom.

What Lu Hao meant was that by forcibly opening a road directly from Hengyang City to the west between the mountains and ridges, at least half the time could be saved.

"Your Majesty, you said that a straight road should be built from Hengyang City to the west, but that is the Lingyun Mountain Area, how is that possible?"

Mr. Dong, the Minister of Industry and Industry, said with a grimace.

"Don't worry, Master Dong. I will personally help you open a straight path. You just need to cooperate with me."

Lu Hao is now confident.

With his current strength, it would be easy to destroy a large mountain. This mountainous area would put no pressure on him.

Besides, if it really doesn't work, Lu Hao can also use bullet blessing to save his internal energy and soul consumption.

"Your Majesty, the construction of main roads between states in several plains has been completed, and the construction of main roads in other areas is still ongoing..."

"The construction of the double-circuit official road in the north has also started. At this stage, it is mainly to build the Yanjing City leading to Silver Moon Beach, and then transfer to Shadow Moon Beach..."

"The official road has been built to the east of Liaoyang City and is extending towards the eastern prairie. Because these places are basically prairie, the road construction speed is very fast..."

"The Nudes Mountains between the two grasslands are being connected. It is very difficult to build this road. It is estimated that it will not be completed until next year."

Mr. Dong continued to report.

"Master Dong, you have done a good job. I will personally handle the official road in the backwater swamp. By then, the Qandong Great Plains and the Qianzhong Great Plains will be completely connected."

Lu Hao was still very satisfied with Master Dong's work, and was ready to solve the stagnant swamp section himself.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your intervention! I promise to connect the two great plains before the Chinese New Year."

Mr. Dong was extremely excited.

Once the two major plains are opened up, seafood from the eastern coast will swarm into the inland, and various agricultural products such as tea from the inland will also enter the eastern coast faster, and the empire's economy will take off.

At the same time, if the Nudes Mountains between the two northern prairie areas are opened up, trade can be quickly carried out between the two prairie areas, and the cultural integration of the two plains can also be deepened.

In Lu Hao's heart, he must build the Chinese Empire into an empire of great national unity.

"Your Majesty, the construction of cement plants in Jisen City, Yanjing City, Hangu Pass and Jinling City has begun..."

"Coal and iron ore mining has begun in Negese in the southwest, and most of the workers recruited are workers from ethnic minorities such as Qiang, Yi, Miao and Dong, and Weichen handed over this matter to the chief of the Qiang people, and he is now Very motivated.”

"The planning of Jinling City in the southeast is almost complete now, and the land in the city has been circled, just waiting for construction to start."

Mr. Dong continued to report.

"Leave the mines to the chiefs of the ethnic minorities, give them enough benefits, and let them manage it. This method is very good. Just continue to advance steadily. As for how much money is needed, just submit a report to the Ministry of Household Affairs and let the Ministry of Household Funds directly allocate funds. .”

Lu Hao nodded slightly and agreed.

Since Mr. Dong took over the Ministry of Works, he has indeed done a lot of things, and he is also the busiest one.

After all, the empire's current infrastructure is too poor, and Lu Hao must change this status quo.

"Your Majesty, we have been making additional investments in several major projects of the Ministry of Industry and have allocated another five hundred million taels of silver."

Tang Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up. "Very good, the money must be spent. Also, is there any progress in the gold mine?"

Lu Hao asked with a smile.

The matter of gold mining was left to Xiao Yun'er's brother Xiao Ze, but he was not qualified to participate in a meeting of this level.

Therefore, Lu Hao had no choice but to ask Mr. Tang.

"The mining work of the gold mine is progressing steadily. Mr. Xiao has been taking command. It is estimated that it will be put into production after the Chinese New Year."

Mr. Tang responded.

"Very good, tell Mr. Xiao to start mining as soon as possible. All the gold mined will go into the national treasury, and you won't have to worry about running out of money."

Lu Hao explained with a smile.

"Wei Chen must tell Mr. Xiao."

Tang Yu responded loudly.

"Mr. Meng, how is the university town now?"

Lu Hao turned to look at Master Meng in Wenyuan Pavilion.

"After enclosing the eastern university town, all the people were moved away, and construction started according to the drawings. The project progress will be completed before the end of the year, with the construction of main roads and foundations..."

Lord Meng hurriedly reported.

"Are the civilians heading to the satellite city in the north as planned?"

Lu Hao asked.

"Yes, Wei Chen is responsible for this part of the migration work."

Liu Rufeng interrupted.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Imperial Master. How is the situation in Hengyang City?"

Lu Hao asked casually.

"Reporting to the Emperor, Hengyang City's firearms and ammunition production and other tasks have been transferred to the Chief of Logistics, Liu Rufeng. The six major R&D departments under Wei Chen's jurisdiction have now made great progress."

"The civilians who migrated from the University City were arranged to live in the northern satellite city together with the civilians who had migrated from Jinling City. Wei Chen arranged for them to enter the factory to earn money to solve their life problems."

Liu Rufeng responded loudly.

"Well, let these people become professional workers. Our factories will need a lot of talents in this field in the future. When the time comes, workers in cement plants and steel plants will need you to train and select them first, and then send them to factories across the empire. "

"As for when to recruit people? How to train them? How long will the training last? These details are under your control, but you must ensure that after these factories are built, workers will be stationed."

Lu Hao explained.

"Wei Chen understands."

Liu Rufeng responded.

"General Situ, how is the current situation of your logistics department?"

Lu Hao turned to look at Situ Tianyin.

"According to the emperor's wishes, the logistics department of the Imperial Central Army consists of the Imperial Central Army Logistics Team 1 to the [-]th Logistics Team. Each team is equipped with [-] people. The [-]st and [-]nd Logistics Teams are responsible for the production and deployment of military supplies within the empire. Team Three, Team Four, Team Five, and Team Six are responsible for escorting frontline military supplies..."

Situ Tianyin, the logistics chief of the Imperial Central Army, introduced in detail.
