After all, no matter how this route goes, it will always start from his territory, and the series of consequences brought about by paving the road show that a large amount of the money and food spent by the Ministry of Revenue will fall on his Zhili Road.

on the people of the land.

The third is the imperial court's construction expenditure of Daqing City under Daqing Mountain.

This is the Ming Dynasty’s national policy for the naturalization of grasslands.

Even Xia Yuanji, who has turned into a miser, has no reason to object, and even stated that even if Daqing City has no income in the future and is a loss-making place, the Ministry of Household Affairs can still squeeze out money to invest in the construction of Daqing City.

In addition to these three major expenditures, there is only the regular expenditure of the Southern Expedition Army, which is nothing more than the supply of military supplies. The expenditure of money is still concentrated on caring for the fallen soldiers, and it is impossible for the imperial court to be ungrateful.

, cut off pensions for fallen soldiers and support for orphans.

Furthermore, at the end, there are two new additions.

One is the Western Railway Construction Plan proposed by the cabinet minister Xie Jin, and the derived plan to reopen the Silk Road in the Western Regions.

This was a large project that cost approximately 50 million taels of silver, not counting the formation of the Western Expedition Army and the construction and transportation of grain, grass and military supplies.

Fortunately, the railway needs to be repaired bit by bit, but the expenditure required for the army is nothing.

As for the relocation of the ancestral graves of the people along the railway line, the imperial court has also made a decree. Judging from the situation reported by local governments, the people now have no objections, and many people are beginning to hope that the imperial court will quickly build the railway.

, so that our ancestors can be buried in the cemetery built by the emperor's decree, and we hope that our family can also receive the blessings from our ancestors, so that our descendants can enjoy the blessings of the heavenly family.

The imperial court used another method to solve the last problem before the construction of the western railway started.

The theory of Feng Shui and luck was also smashed by the cemetery built by the royal decree.

On the contrary, within the royal family, they scorned the rumors that occasionally came to their ears about the construction of railways that would damage the dragon's veins.

This Ming Dynasty was conquered by the emperor himself.

Did the founding emperor still know whether there were dragon veins?

As for the last financial budget, it will fall in the New World tens of thousands of miles away.

The imperial court has determined the policy of vigorously developing the New World.

For this purpose, two support teams were formed.

One was a land team composed mainly of northern frontier troops. They built official roads and stations along the tracks left by the teams that pioneered the exploration of the New World, and also explored resources along the route.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The other one is a cross-sea fleet drawn from the naval fleet.

Dozens of large and small ships are loaded with all kinds of materials and equipment needed for the development of the New World. They will complete supplies in Yingtian City, and then go to Yingzhou Fourth Road to complete the final preparations. They will set off along the coastline and first open up the sea.

large material transportation channel.

Then the shortest sea route will be explored to shorten the travel time between the Central Plains and the New World.

Regarding the development of the New World, the imperial court was divided into two factions.

One group strongly supports the development of the New World, believing that as long as the imperial court develops the New World and shortens the travel time between the two places, the Ming Dynasty will gain great strategic benefits and balance the contradictions and pressures within the Central Plains.

The other group believes that although the New World is good, it is too far away, requires too much initial investment, and may have the risk of becoming king in the future.

However, the emperor's family firmly supported the development of the New World, and the opponents in the court could only say a few words.

Regarding the development of the New World, the debate ended with the mobilization of huge resources.

It's just in a place where no one knows except the cabinet and the six ministers.

In the fiscal budget for the 30th year of Hongwu, the imperial court added a budget for improving the infrastructure of Huguang Road connecting Sichuan Road, Guangxi Road, and Yunnan Road.

On the surface, it was used to improve official traffic in various parts of the southwest, but in fact, this budget was just a military budget to cover up the return of the chieftains of the southwest to their native land.

Just to avoid alerting others, I just changed the excuse.

And when everything is over.

The hall full of vermilion in Yingtian City braved the wind and snow, leaving footprints one after another after walking out of the imperial city.

Ming dynasty.

The twenty-nine years of Hongwu also ended with a burst of lively firecrackers.

Ushering in the 30th year of Hongwu.
