"What do you guys think about this island?" Although Liu An is currently the supreme administrator, in fact, most of Liu An's administrative work is entrusted to Yang Jiong and them, and he does not interfere too much.

Of course, the leader gave him this task, and he would definitely ask about these tasks in the end, but Liu An directly let go of the specific matters, he knew that these people were actually government officials trained by the cabinet, and they were all going to take over the government work here in the future.

"The Blackwater Commercial Bank has already erected the national flag, first of all, our thoughts, this time the distribution of materials has a large amount of cement and steel bars, that place should be able to find some river sand and the like, for the time being, first build a government office, a patrol division out, first register the residents of the island, etc., and then I have arranged for two teachers to go over to carry out literacy and Chinese education."

"In addition, the largest amount we have prepared is grain, and the grain output on these islands is definitely not much, our idea is to exchange grain for their work, let these stable join the Han as soon as possible, and then measure the land on the islands."

"While doing this, the island's inhabitants and some research ships were hired to survey the entire island and look for places where a port could be built. Then the next step is to build a wharf, and build a large number of warehouses in this place, as well as taverns, restaurants and other transit facilities, in the future, this place can be used as a transit point for our caravans to trade with Hezhou and other places. ”

"And this place, you can build some secret warehouses to store some weapons, if these places conflict with us in the future, this is our forward base." Yang Jiong said quickly.

"Well, on the whole, there is no big problem, and this direction will definitely be our strategic goal in the future." Liu An nodded very simply, and did not hide it, to be precise, most of the officials in the entire Han Dynasty could probably guess that this was not a secret of the state, but that people with a little strategic vision could guess it.

Another reason is that Huo Gang has no intention of becoming emperor so far, so when can his leader become His Majesty? It must have been when the Han Dynasty had a huge land area.

According to the planning of the industrial city, the speed of the steam train is not the current 50 kilometers per hour, in fact, the current steam locomotive has run more than 50 kilometers per hour.

According to the report they heard from the industrial city last year, the speed of the steam train can reach an average of 100 kilometers per hour in the future, and the maximum speed can even exceed 200 kilometers per hour.

Yang Jiong couldn't imagine what the concept of 200 km/h was, and they were all shocked when the current speed of 50 km/h first came out. 200 km/h? What's that concept?

That means that the original six days from the Great Han Jade Gate to Stan City can be directly shortened to more than one day!

Similarly, it is only a little more than a day to go from Yumen Pass to Bard City and to the Mediterranean, but what about Datang? It took more than two days for the soldiers of Chang'an to travel to the farthest county in Gyeonggi Province, and they were still in a state of rapid travel.

It is conceivable that although the Han Dynasty is thousands of miles away from the frontier areas, its control over the frontier will still be extremely stable.

Therefore, it is entirely possible for them to conquer so much land, but there is a premise, at least to absorb the population of the entire Sassanid Persia, or with the current state of the Han Dynasty, in another ten years, the population of the Han Dynasty can almost double.

Although Yang Jiong couldn't imagine it, but in fact, after Huo Gang listened to the report of the Industrial City, he didn't say anything, but just encouraged the scientists who studied the steam engine in the Industrial City to continue to struggle, not to mention whether 200 kilometers can be reached, but stabilizing the speed of 100 kilometers per hour is also a huge improvement for the train.

Of course, Huo Gang didn't say it, but Huo Gang knew that the Industrial City's estimate was correct.

In fact, when everyone mentioned a speed of more than 200 per hour, everyone thought that it was a bullet train or a high-speed rail, but in fact it was not entirely the case. Long after World War I and before World War II, steam trains used to drag about ten carriages to a top speed of nearly 220 kilometers per hour!

Can you imagine the train with thick steam at the front of the train running out of the speed of the bullet train and even the high-speed rail in later generations under the rapid accompaniment of "Bang Dang" and "Bang Dang"? That's the truth, so the power of the steam engine is terrifying.

After all, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers also use steam engines, don't they?

Of course, the steam engine has limitations, but for Dahan at present, the steam engine is the best train, and there is no one.

If nothing else, the steam engine only needs to pull coal, and does not need electricity to follow the rails all the time, at least in the next few decades, it is estimated that the steam engine will not be eliminated, but will continue to be improved.

At least Huo Gang knew that the Industrial City had already started to develop the design of adding generators to steam trains, and it was estimated that in more than a year at most, trains with generators would run on the ground.

At that time, the train will not be like now, and you will need to light candles at night, and then there will be a little light at night.

"I won't get involved in these aspects, but remember one thing, as long as it is the territory of our Han Dynasty, no matter where it is, we will not give up an inch of land." Liu An said lightly.

"Understood, General Liu, please rest assured, it's He Molu's side, General Liu, what should we do next? Do you want to interrupt funding for them? Yang Jiong asked.

"What? Are they already done? Liu An turned around and asked.

"The latest news from the front line is that about 200,000 cavalry of Hemolu and them have crossed a distance of about 260 kilometers south of the Zhiyin River and stopped their advance, and there they have directly established a defensive line according to their previous plan, and anyone who tries to cross the line of defense has been intercepted."

"According to our current calculations on the area of the remaining peninsula, the current southern area is about 220,000 square kilometers, excluding the islands in the southern section."

"There are about 17 million indigenous people currently living on the 220,000 square kilometres of land, not counting the more than 3 million people who have died along the way during these months." Yang Jiong reported a set of data with an expressionless face.

"Dispose of the bodies that died on the way." Liu An didn't have any expression, anyway, these people were not killed by them, what does it have to do with them?

"It has been dealt with, most of it has been dealt with by He Molu, but there is a problem, that is, the land area they have cleared is too large, and it is inevitable that there will be fish that have slipped through the net, although there are not many of them, but there must be some, how to deal with these?" Yang Jiong looked at Liu An and asked.

"You don't need to ask me that question, do you? The main combat power of He Molu's department is on the south side, but the women and children in the back, they also have a certain combat effectiveness, so let them go and reconnoiter when they are fine, if they catch someone...... Entering the country without permission is tantamount to aggression. Liu An said with a cold face.

"Understood." Yang Jiong immediately nodded, there are 15 million people registered in the Jieri Dynasty, but in fact, the total population on this peninsula far exceeds this number, because there are still seven or eight small countries around the Jieri Dynasty, and the combined population of these small countries is estimated to be millions, and the population of the Jieri Dynasty itself is not accurate.

The combined number of these people is far more than 20 million, and the specific number is impossible to consider, and it is a miracle that so many people can be driven away.

In fact, when it came to the back, the pressure on He Molu's department was already very great, because the people who were being chased by them had already tried to resist, and there was no way, and if they continued south, there were people everywhere, and they were already starving and couldn't live.

Facts have proved that no matter how obedient people are, they will always start to resist when they are cornered, so He Molu and the others also decisively stopped their steps and began to establish the border on the spot. Originally, Huo Gang gave them the task of going south of the Zhiyin River, and he could go as far as he could, so He Molu and them had already overfulfilled the task.

And now there are at least nearly 20 million people on the entire Buzhou Peninsula, an area of about 220,000 square kilometers on the south side! Moreover, it is still a very barren plateau terrain, and it is not impossible to grow food here, but the grain yield is very impressive.

Not to mention that there is not much arable land here at all, most of it is mountainous.

Although Henan Province has a population of more than 100 million in later generations, the provincial capital alone has a permanent population of more than 12 million, and if you include the floating population and the urban circle around the provincial capital, it is estimated that at least 20 million people will start.

But that was based on the extremely developed logistics in later generations, and Henan Province itself is located in the plain, which is the most important grain producing area in China, plus the terrifying grain production in later generations.

On the cultivated land of the natives of these Ring Dynasty? Their yield per mu is not as good as that of Datang, and their cultivation technology is not as good as that of Datang.

The most important thing is that in the course of their southward migration in the past few months, the extreme hunger has forced them to eat almost all the food they have saved for planting, and some of the food left behind is estimated to be in the hands of high-caste nobles.

So it is foreseeable that before the rainy season arrives next year, what kind of scene will be here, but it has nothing to do with Liu An.

"As for He Molu and them, send someone to inform them, all of them will give them subsidies according to the standards of the Han people, they are temporarily different from the people in other places, the treatment of those He Molu troops in front of them is based on our treatment, if it is just transported, through the Heng River, and then into the coast, all the way to the direction of the Zhiyin River." Liu An said.

"Understood, I'll arrange it immediately."

"As for those who are old and weak, according to their own choice, give them a choice, they can settle down wherever they want in this piece of land, and the follow-up logistics and supplies will follow, I will tell the chief, food subsidies must not be lacking, salt, spices, daily necessities, for the time being, their living standards can not keep up, then buy their wool, etc., and give them a good price. I'll report this to the chief. Liu An quickly added.

"Yes."
