I don't know when, the fine snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky.

Standing in front of the window and watching this scene, Xiao Ming felt in his heart that one year is about to pass, and in this past time he has finally completed the reunification of the Great Yu country.

Li Kaiyuan noticed Xiao Ming's look. From his point of view, Xiao Ming seemed to have a soft spot for winter, and he didn't know why.

"The official will not disturb the emperor's appreciation of the snow, so I will go back to prepare the "Business Law"." Li Kaiyuan said, in front of Xiao Ming, he was still a bit pressured, after all, he is like a tiger.

Nodded, he said to Li Kaiyuan: "I will choose the day to designate the Chamber of Commerce as the Department of Commerce. From then on, you have officially become officials of the imperial court. I have talked to you about the functions of the Department of Commerce many times. You follow these functions. From now on, he will be responsible for the jurisdiction of the commerce of the country.

"Yes, the emperor." Li Kaiyuan replied, tightening his cotton-padded clothes and walking into the snow. This winter is getting colder year by year.

Watching Li Kaiyuan leave, Xiao Ming looked to the north. The winter of this year was even colder than in previous years. It is estimated that this time it will be enough for the barbarians.

He can predict that livestock will freeze to death again in the northern grasslands this year, and this will make the life of the barbarians more difficult.

The barbarians who lack food and clothing can only do one thing, that is, grabbing. From this, it can be predicted that the war between the barbarians and the Great Yu is imminent. After all, there is so much food output on this land, and the Great Yu has one more bite. The barbarians had to starve a few people to death.

In fact, the history of mankind is nothing but a history of cannibalism. The difference lies in whether to eat others or eat one's own.

The West chose to eat the people of other continents in the great voyage era, so it has the prosperity and power of the West today, and in the land of Great Yu, it has always been its own people eating its own people.

After stopping to watch the snow for a while, Xiao Ming re-designed the industrial planning of the six states.

There were only one hundred steam engines in this auction, but in fact, the steam engine workshop produced a total of three hundred steam engines during this time.

After getting this number, he ordered only one hundred units for the merchants. After all, compared to private workshops, the most important thing is an official workshop.

After all, this private workshop is to provide a variety of goods for the private sector, and it is the official workshop that can really guide the development of the country.

In his plan, he plans to establish two more large-scale steel workshops, which are not in Qingzhou, but in Kaiping Prefecture near Laiwu and Youzhou.

Needless to say, Laiwu is the largest coal and iron producing area in Shandong. The construction of Laiwu Iron and Steel Workshop will greatly reduce the transportation cost of ore.

And this Kaiping prefecture was the Kaiping town in the late Qing Dynasty. It is also famous, but it is actually contemporary Tangshan. This place is rich in coal and iron. He plans to build Kaiping Iron and Steel Workshop here.

The vassals of these steel mills are naturally coal mines and iron mines, but in addition to these two minerals, Xiao Ming also plans to simultaneously develop gold and silver mines in Laizhou.

Coal and iron are for industry, and gold and silver are for finance. Taking advantage of this rare peace period, he wants to start industry as soon as possible.

During the Meiji Restoration period, Japan became a powerful country in only forty years. This was the time when Japan transitioned directly from feudal society to the second revolution in the West.

So for Xiao Ming, he didn't need forty years at all. As long as he was given ten or eight years, he would be enough to let the industries of the country of Da Yu catch up with the West, and then the West would completely explode.

However, in order to be able to concentrate his efforts on major things, he still has to solve a problem, which is the problem of population mobility in the country of Da Yu.

In the feudal dynasty, the population was almost immobile, and this was mainly to avoid the unstable factors such as refugees.

But now Xiao Ming wants to engage in industry and capital, which will inevitably require a large population.

The population of Liuzhou is limited, and most of them have their own land. These people are not at all active in entering the workshop. Therefore, both he and the businessmen in Qingzhou need a large population to develop industry.

So at this time, he naturally hit his mind on the refugees who were born in the Northern War. The chaotic war over the past year has not only lost a lot of people in the north, but also gave birth to a large number of refugees.

If according to the previous practice, these refugees had to return to their hometown to farm, but now they have two more paths, this is to enter the workshop.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming accepted the pen, he wrote down this question, and planned to discuss it together tomorrow morning.

In addition to this, he also prepared some other things, and he also gave a famous name, called the three-year plan.

The next day, Qingzhou City was covered in silver-white by the snow that had fallen all night.

In the dormitory, he played with Fei Yueer and his son for a while, and he took his three-year plan to the Council of Political Affairs.

After a heavy snowfall, the clothes worn by the ministers became visibly thicker. Xiao Ming smiled and said, "Are all of you Aiqing's official robes wearing padded jackets sewn by the textile workshop?"

Pang Yukun took the lead and said: "The emperor, this padded jacket is thick and resistant to the cold. This year it is not just officials, but most of the people are also wearing this padded jacket."

"The veteran has lived in Chang'an for decades. I thought that Chang'an was the richest place in the world. I never thought that it was only five or six years. The people of Qingzhou were more comfortable than the people of Chang'an. The people of Chang'an were in the winter. Not everyone wears padded jackets." Fiji said with a smile.

When the officials heard the words, Chao Jun said: "This shows that the emperor has a long-term vision. The people in Qingzhou live so comfortably because of the rich products, and the rich products are inseparable from commerce and industry."

"What Chao Shangshu said is that Qingzhou is indeed richer than Chang'an."

"It seems that business and industry are also good."

"..."

Facts speak louder than words~lightnovelpub.net~ The officials echoed one by one.

Slightly satisfied with the performance of the officials in the hall, Xiao Ming presented the most important national plan this year. He said: "All the Aiqings are all sensible people. After living in Qingzhou for a long time, the merits can be clearly seen. The next morning, I did not do anything else but for the development of this industry and commerce. For this purpose, I formulated a three-year plan."

With that said, Xiao Ming asked Qian Dafu to distribute the printed pamphlets.

Fiji and Pang Yukun looked at them immediately after they got them, and they were shocked.

This pamphlet clearly records the major events to be done by the court in the next three years, from farming to commerce, from government to military affairs.

"This time, everything I want to say is in it. In the next three years, the six prefectures must strictly follow the plan above. If it can't be completed after three years, I will use him to ask questions, so I will take advantage of it. Now, just ask what you want."

The officials raised their heads at this time, and they saw this kind of government affairs for the first time.
