C3400 Make haste

Duo Luo and Guan Lu had indeed learned it in the Ryukyu before.

There was definitely a difference between those who opened their eyes to look at the world and those who closed their eyes and immersed themselves in the old traditions, especially the depth and breadth of the problem. Duo Luo and Guan Lu had already surpassed many of the powerful figures in the imperial court.

Under Rong Quan's introduction, a real Xinjiang gradually surfaced, and the seemingly mighty Yaqub's forces had long since shown signs of crumbling like a sand castle.

Yaqub was not a builder at all, he seemed to be a demon born from a calamity. He used slaughter as the foundation of his rule and used extreme thoughts to control the hearts of his people.

If he wanted to kill the pagan, as long as he did not have a political opinion, he had to kill the people of his sect.

What a beautiful name, what a lucky name, but in this so-called Great Blessed Khan Country, the citizens could not enjoy any good fortune, only Yaqub could enjoy the blessings.

Right now, Yaqub's power had reached its limit. He had attacked Di Hua (Urumqi) at the north and attacked the Hami from the east, and had also defeated the rebel army of the pars dorsalis Gan Shan.

Right now, he was about to cut off the last thread of communication between Zuo Zongtang and the northern border. Furthermore, his vanguard was already at the vanguard of the confrontation between the Stellar Gorge and Zuo Zongtang.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yaqub had already become a force to be reckoned with, the Qing Government was powerless to stop them. When spring breaks in the next year, it is very likely that Yaqub will personally go north to occupy the entire northern border!

Even the Sha Russians took action, occupying the rich Ivu River Valley, adding to Yaqub's overbearing attitude!

However, when one was in his prime, he would often face a downhill path!

Yaqub's war went smoothly, but his business was one of his fatal injuries! The reason why the people of the Southern Wilderness rebelled against you was only because of one thing. On the other hand, it was because of fantasies about living a good life.

You, Yaqub, can draw big cakes, but can you brand big cakes?

In Xiao Letian's words... As the textbook on the way of business says, 'There is a kind of rule called economic rule, but it doesn't have to be called rule together by the land, and complete economic dependence is also a kind of rule!'

The situation in the southern border was like this. The conditions here were extremely harsh, and the natural environment had not influenced the development of a high level local civilization.

just like Egyptian civilization, Greek and Roman civilization, two rivers, India, and so on... Even the great civilizations that have survived for thousands of years have all been destroyed.

Xinjiang had always been a place of hundreds of wars. The main reason that the main civilization didn't have it was because their economy couldn't reach its full scale and was always lacking.

Unlike the Central Plains civilization in the east, this was a huge economy where all industries were progressing side by side. His equivalent would always be number one in the Middle Ages.

The moment a high level economy encountered a low level economy, then crushing and annexing was inevitable!

You have agriculture in Xinjiang, of course I know it, but how big is it? How many varieties are there in agriculture? How high is the technology? How is the Infrastructure?

I know you have mineral deposits in Xinjiang, but how do you dig them? How to smelt it? How to transport it?

You have handicrafts in Xinjiang, and I know that the quality of your swords and sabers is quite good! But how do we increase capacity? How to cut costs? How to transport it out for a windfall sale?

In general, Xinjiang was a primitive handicraft industry. Not to mention fighting the western industrial civilization, he couldn't even fight against the productivity of the ancient world like China.

To take the simplest example, all the salt in Xinjiang required merchants to transport it from the outside to the inside. The salt fields in Qing Hai were under the control of the Great Qing.

The commercial route is so important that many of the Central Plains' goods are transported to Xinjiang on a large scale. Although they travel thousands of miles, the cost and quality of the goods are slightly higher than the local goods.

Add in the local leather goods, jade, swords, and blankets... And so on. Only the Central Plains caravan could purchase them at such a high price.

Such unequal economic development had gradually made economic activities in Xinjiang a vassal of the Central Plains. Many of the people's daily necessities had continued to be transferred to the Central Plains.

Merchants were in possession of each other, and in many cases, they were even more powerful than the army!

This logic was something that Duo Luo and Guan Lu had learnt from the Ryukyu, whereas Rong Quan had comprehended it from his work. As for Gordon and explorer, he understood it just by hearing it.

Everyone understood, that in the region ruled by Yaqub, the sky was already filled with anger and the people were angry, the quality of life of the people had severely declined!

These lunatics who only knew how to kill didn't know how to do anything about the economy. They didn't know how to make a better life for everyone!

Five years had passed, and the people of the Southern Wilderness, who had just become crazy, had gradually regretted it. On one hand, they felt that the quality of life had not only not improved, but had instead been severely reduced.

On the other hand, they could also see the true face of Yaqub the butcher.

With a "pa" sound, Rong Quan slapped the table and said, "We can't delay the Southern Wilderness any longer. It must be settled as soon as possible, at best within ten years …"

"Right now, the unstable elements within Yaqub are the commoners of the Southern Wilderness who once enjoyed a prosperous life under the rule of the imperial government … Because they know that their past life is better than the present, they are dissatisfied! "

"We can't drag this on for too long. If we let Cuba kill off all these people who have already compared to each other, the rest of us will be people who have never enjoyed the blessings. They will have no idea how good life will be with the imperial government …"

"By that time, these people who have no feelings for the imperial government will grow up … If we want it back, there's no way we can get it back! "

This was the truth of the matter. When there was contrast, there would be harm. In the past, when the imperial government was in power, although the commoners of the Southern Wilderness were poor, they could still live on and eat seventy to eighty percent of their food.

At that time, Yaqub drew big cakes saying that they would kill all the pagan, eat whatever they want, and marry any beauty!

However, five years had passed and there was no sign of the promise he had made back then. Not only that, but the quality of life had fallen in the third quarter. Now, it was difficult for him to even be half full.

Without the exchange of goods between the Central Plains's caravan, the products from Xinjiang could not be sold, and the supplies from Central Plains could not be delivered up. The common folk even wished to have some salt!

With this comparison, the people realized that Yaqub was actually the worst swindler!

Rebellion was already brewing. Once the imperial government dispatched an army to quell the rebellion, the enemy's internal affairs would be thrown into chaos. They could even go back and help the imperial government fight the rebels!

But everything required time, and they couldn't drag on for too long. They mustn't let Yaqub kill all these discontented people, or wait for the new generation to grow.

As the young new generation had never experienced what it was like to live a life with the imperial government, they did not compare at all. Hence, they easily treated the living environment that Yaqub gave them as a habit.

This would be troublesome. At that time, he would really leave the Central Plains!
