Regarding Su Yonglin's views, Xin Qiji remained silent for a long time, and finally chose to agree.
Su Yonglin expressed helplessness at such a situation, and believed that this was a desperate move. Development is really difficult.
"I am aware of this, so over the years I have continued to throw money at the Ministry of Industry, hoping that they can come up with something that the court needs and bring demand for jobs. However, seven or eight years have passed, and the progress has been quite limited. .
The results that can be obtained so far are coking, steel making and firearms manufacturing. These three are really qualitatively different from the past. I have also invested a lot of money in other aspects, but I can't see any results yet. "
Xin Qiji mainly focused on military development and did not take into account the series of problems in the development of the country's infrastructure and the direction Su Yonglin was focusing on. He was not very concerned about issues in scientific and technological development, so he did not think about this series of problems.
After Su Yonglin said that, Xin Qiji realized that all aspects of the country's development are connected, and one move affects the whole body.
"It seems that specialized tasks should be left to specialized personnel. People like me should just engage in military affairs."
He touched his head in shame.
Su Yonglin smiled and shook his head.
"It's good to have a good heart. The country should welcome anyone's suggestions and suggestions, no matter what they are. I'm very happy that you can pay attention to these things. You can also pay more attention to them in the future. Don't just immerse yourself in the military and ignore everything. Well, if the army wants to fight well, it also depends on whether the logistics are good enough."
Xin Qiji nodded.
"I know... I have never thought about this type of problem before, nor have I realized the difficulties of development and the fruits of development."
"Development is the last word. This is not an empty talk. It is an important issue in governing the country."
Su Yonglin said seriously: "Although the current level of development of the Ming Dynasty is not high, the three aspects of coking, smelting, and making firearms have already brought great demand to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty needs more craftsmen who have mastered the technology to make them. , this is the demand.
If there are more achievements in the future, the demand will be greater and greater. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty opened up territory and expanded the territory. More land and people need to be managed, so more officials and staff are needed, and revival is needed. Member.
The Ming Dynasty's trade went overseas, and as commerce prospered, it needed more smart businessmen and accountants who could master calculations. It also needed more ships, more sailors, more shipbuilders, and more lumbermen. workers, more transport workers are needed.
When the demand in this area continues to increase, we will be required to further improve related industries and improve the efficiency of transporting materials. If this technology has a breakthrough, it will bring more new job demands. "
Xin Qiji nodded slowly while listening.
"I see, there are still these principles here... It seems that if it can continue to develop, why worry about the Ming Dynasty not prospering?"
"If this is the case, prosperity is the most basic, and continued prosperity is the most important, so we must use money where it should be used, not in the wrong place."
Su Yonglin pointed to the southwest: "I always believe that creating enough demand for a country is what a court should do. Any person or organization that wants to hinder this goal, I will eradicate them all. !”
Su Yonglin's decision would not change, and his determination was quickly handed over to Su Haisheng for execution.
Su Haisheng quickly received a reply from Su Yonglin through Liubaili Express, obtained the document permission from the General Staff Headquarters, and gained the power to make arbitrary decisions on an emergency basis.
In other words, in the next military operation, the decision of what to do and to what extent it should be achieved has been completely left to Su Haisheng. He will obtain full power and assume a series of responsibilities.
Su Haisheng was overjoyed and geared up, preparing to apply the military level accumulated by the Qilu Corps in many years of fighting and careful training in the next war.
Of course, the most important thing at present is to determine whether the surrender intention given by Sichuan and Shu is true and whether it is feasible.
Anyway, the central government's analysis is true. The central government believes that the people in Sichuan and Sichuan who are ready to surrender are at their wits' end and will die if the Ming Dynasty does not send troops, so the attitude is very low, almost pleading.
In this case, the possibility of suspecting that they were trying to trick Daming into seducing him was too low, less than 10%.
There is a 90% probability of it being true and a 10% probability of it being false. Should I bet?
I bet on him!
Su Haisheng immediately sent someone to contact Wu Gong to consult him about the Song Army's willingness and method of surrender. The two sides began to discuss and reminded them - you'd better hurry up, otherwise you worry that Chengdu won't be able to hold on.
Wu Gong was surprised by Ming Guo's high efficiency. The whole process only took half a month before Ming Guo responded.
This efficiency...
If the Song Dynasty had such efficiency, it would not be reduced to this situation.
Wu Gong helplessly read Su Haisheng's letter, then threw the letter aside with a wry smile.
It’s not Mingguo that should be anxious, it’s me, Chengdu, we, the ants on the hot pot, who should be anxious.
Wu Gong hesitated for a moment and wrote a letter to Su Haisheng, writing down the entire process of the surrender of the Song army and the takeover of the northern Sichuan defense area by the Ming army in his imagination, and asked Su Haisheng to see if there was anything that needed to be improved, or whether both sides would directly send people to approach. Negotiate at a distance and resolve the matter as soon as possible.
Chengdu probably really can’t handle it anymore.
It was indeed not easy in Chengdu. Faced with the siege of tens of thousands of troops, Wu Ting tried his best to maintain the situation.
The four original regular armies of the imperial court led by Lu Yu, plus the three original rebel armies of the Bashu Army, the Weiwu Army and the Beggar Army, together totaled more than 100,000 troops.
Not to mention that the armies of Lu Yu and others are rapidly becoming warlords. Even the three rebel armies have lost their attributes of peasant rebel armies due to the participation of social elites represented by the landlord class. Now they all show signs of warlordization. .
No one in the army of more than 100,000 still fought for the concept of equalizing wealth and poverty. They gathered under the city of Chengdu for only one reason - to kill the Dog Emperor, overthrow the Chengdu court, and avenge themselves.
As for what we will do in the future and what everyone’s thoughts are, those are all uncertainties and will be discussed at that time.
Anyway, after arriving in Chengdu City, the leaders of the seven armies held an alliance and agreed that everyone would take turns to attack Chengdu City. Before Chengdu City was captured, no one could attack anyone. Even if they wanted to be hostile, they would have to wait until the entire war was over. .
They also have their own ideas as to how to divide the credit and calculate the spoils after the city of Chengdu is breached.
