Liang Dahai pinches his waist and looks at the slaves who are being loaded on the ship.

All these slaves came from liaozhou. After ye Qingyun occupied liaozhou, a large number of slaves went to haigucheng.

Because the number of slaves was more than 200000, they sent all ships including warships to transport them.

And in order to prevent the slave rebellion, a new soldier of 8000 came to haigucheng to escort.

"Oh, there are so many slaves. The gap of slaves in Dayu is closed." Li Kaiyuan is also in haigucheng, and his commercial control of Koryo is still in progress.

Liang Dahai opened his mouth wide, and the scar on his face trembled with the smile. He said, "no, the emperor is not sure how happy he is."

"Having said that, the recruitment of Korean laborers should not be vague. The emperor is ambitious now. He is not afraid of more slaves, he is afraid of less."

After that, they looked at the slaves and laughed. In their opinion, with so many slaves, the development of Dayu will surely rise by leaps and bounds.

....

Shanhaiguan, Lufei in the implementation of the Guandong policy at the same time will Pingzhou City slaves sent here.

After a rest, these 120000 slaves arrived in Qingzhou after a seven day trek.

"Emperor, these slaves must be given to our railway department. Now the railway is in urgent need of manpower. The people Liang Dahai recruited from Korea are not enough."

In the imperial study, Princess Pingyang relied on the posture of not going. The slave came to Qingzhou like a fishy cat.

Xiao Ming returned to Qingzhou two days earlier than these slaves. By this time, the news of the victory of the army of the state of Chongqing had been publicized in the newspapers and everyone knew it.

When he returned to the city, it was almost welcomed by the people of Qingzhou, which made him return home in triumph.

With the power of victory, Xiao Ming obviously felt that the officials were more respectful to him than before, just as he had expected.

In addition to his reputation of being good at fighting, his position in the state of Dayu is even more unshakable. Even in the newspapers, he has been compared to the emperor for thousands of years.

This article was written by fan Zeng himself. Although the taste of flattery is obvious, it also proves the shock that the defeat of barbarians brought to the people of Dayu.

Because this is not only a victory in national strategy, but also a reshaping of national confidence.

In addition, the by-product of this victory is the purpose of Princess Pingyang, a large number of slaves from the grassland.

"Don't worry, aunt. These slaves are just the beginning. The slaves from liaozhou will soon arrive in Qingzhou, and if we win Jinzhou successfully, we will get more slaves." Xiao Ming said calmly.

The reason why he came back from Shanhaiguan was to deal with the issue of slavery. For him, the war dividend was very rich.

This slave frenzy will bring a lot of valuable labor force to Dayu. Only when the labor force increases, can he build large-scale facilities in Dayu.

Princess Pingzhou smiles wildly when she hears the words. As the head of the railway department, she has experienced a change of mentality from dealing with it at the beginning to building the railway network of Chongqing.

It's not that she has become noble, but that the magical role of the railway and the huge profits it can bring make her feel more stable in her position.

"I'm at ease when the emperor says that." Princess Pingyang was relieved. She said to Xiao Ming, "emperor, now that the railway from Qingzhou to Laiwu has been half built, give me another 100000 slaves. It only takes one year for the railway department to connect Qingzhou to Laiwu and Qingzhou to Kaiping."

As soon as Xiao Ming's eyes are bright, a year's time will be long or short. If this route is opened up, it will bring incredible changes to the industry of Liuzhou.

After pondering for a while, he said, "of course, this slave is coming next to the railway department, but one year is too long. I will open it to traffic by the end of this year."

In fact, it is not very difficult to build a railway on such a flat plain as qingzhoufu. According to the data, on June 9, 1881, the first self built railway in the Qing Dynasty was built in only three months from Tangshan to xugezhuang.

Although the railway is only 20 miles long, the number of workers needed to build it is also very small.

Now there are more than 200000 railway builders under the command of the railway department, and the number of slaves this time is estimated to be as high as more than 300000.

With so many people building a railway line of more than 300 kilometers, even one kilometer a day can be completed in a year.

Of course, the railway department is not only building this route, but also starting the construction of the route from Qingzhou to Dengzhou.

This route will pass through Laizhou, which is rich in gold and silver, and then arrive at Dengzhou until the port.

"At the end of the year, although there was a little trouble, it was not impossible, but the premise was that the emperor agreed to the 100000 slaves." Princess Pingyang's eyes turned.

The first year of construction was slow because the slaves had no experience and the production of the tracks could not keep up.

Now it's different. They have trained a large number of elite craftsmen to build railways. These craftsmen can lead the slaves to build railways independently.Moreover, after the establishment of Laiwu and Kaiping iron and steel mills, the output of this rail has also kept up. Now there is no need to worry about materials.

"Well, I promise you." Xiao Ming raised his eyebrows. Railway is a long-term project for the state of Chongqing.

Now that the transportation is not very developed, the railway transportation will be an artifact, and it will be more conducive to the allocation of the army of Dayu.

After asking about railway construction, Xiao Ming let Princess Pingyang go.

Three days later, Liang Dahai arrived in Qingzhou with barbarian slaves. According to the agreement of Princess Heping, he assigned 100000 slaves to her.

There were more than 200000 slaves left. Xiao Ming allocated 120000 to the mineral department, and the remaining 80000 to the slave plantation.

Industry is important, so is eating. With the development of industry, more and more raw materials are needed, such as sugarcane, cotton, rubber and so on.

While distributing slaves, Xiao Ming also sent the craftsmen of mineral department and iron and steel workshop to liaozhou, which is the contemporary Liaoyang. The famous Anshan and Benxi iron mines are near Liaoyang.

Anshan and Benxi are among the top five open-pit iron mines in China, with proven reserves of more than 10 billion tons.

In recent years, the barbarians used these two mines to cast artillery.

Because of this, it is so important to conquer Jinzhou, because once Jinzhou is opened up, the two large iron mines will be under his control, and there will be no shortage of iron mines in the early development of Dayu.
