    "Sitting on a four-wheeled carriage, I looked at the thousands of ravines on the Loess Plateau and felt the desolate atmosphere."

    ¡°It¡¯s hard for you to imagine how ambitious the Ming Empire was to move all the millions of people here to other places.¡±

    ¡°There are many villages seen along the way. It can be seen that these villages are very large and many houses are still well preserved.¡±

    ¡°Looking up, almost every inch of land has been fully utilized by the Ming Dynasty people. Even on steep hillsides, the Ming Dynasty people have been very wise to develop terraced fields.¡±

    "It can be seen that the people of Ming Dynasty cherish and care for the land extremely. Of course, we can also see how precious the land here was in the past."

    "It is said that in the past, the Ming people here were very poor, with very little arable land per capita. Moreover, due to the loss of water and soil, the land here was very barren and water resources were scarce. They often worked hard for a year, but in the end they could not harvest much.  A large part of the grain must be handed over to the landlords.¡±

    "However, now, the fields that were once cherished are now overgrown with weeds, the once bustling villages are deserted, the houses are dilapidated, and they have no popularity at all."

    ¡°But the place is starting to become more vibrant and the vegetation is beginning to grow lush. Maybe in a few decades, this place will become green mountains and green waters again.¡±

    ¡°I have to deeply admire the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the ministers of Ming Dynasty. Their vision is so long-term, they not only see the present, but also the distant future.¡±

    ¡°During the trip, I carefully studied the history of the Ming Empire in the past few years, and found that the Ming Empire has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past ten years.¡±

    ¡°They reorganized their arms, actively expanded and invaded, and seized a large amount of land. They developed maritime trade and colonization, and seized huge wealth and vast land.¡±

    ¡°There are also a large number of overseas vassal states and colonies in the Western Regions, Hezhong, Nanyun Province, Australia, Golden Continent, and Nanyang. They have continuously moved a large number of excess domestic populations overseas, which has greatly alleviated the domestic contradiction between man and land.  "

    "At the same time, he firmly controlled the newly occupied territory in his own hands. This was a very effective strategy that turned the Ming Empire, which was originally suffering from internal and external troubles, into a super empire that now dominates the world."

    "Liu Jin, the Minister of Civil Affairs of the Ming Empire, is a legendary figure. It is said that many policies are related to him. Now I really wish I could fly directly to the capital of the Ming Empire to have a good talk with him and gain insights.  Get rid of this master's son."

    Ali Pasha¡¯s notebooks became thicker and thicker as he wrote.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of Nanyun Province, I learned about the Ming Empire¡¯s ruling policy in Nanyun Province, and then saw the richness of the river in the Hezhong area.

    When I arrived in the Western Regions, I saw the Ming Dynasty¡¯s population policy and system in the Western Regions. When I arrived in the Central Plains, I saw the Ming Dynasty¡¯s natural treasures and prices.

    Now in the Loess Plateau, we can also appreciate the foresight and boldness of the Ming Dynasty¡¯s top officials. Millions of immigrants immigrated to directly turn a densely populated area into a no-man¡¯s land, completely allowing it to recuperate naturally and restore the ecological environment.

    Among the many policies and systems, he has heard the name Liu Jin more than once, which makes him look forward to meeting Liu Jin and meeting the outstanding figures of the world.

    Ali Pasha, Moses and his party continued to move forward. A few days later, they finally arrived in Taiyuan, Shanxi.

    In the first moment, Ali Pasha and Moses couldn't help but hurried to Taiyuan Station, ready to take a look at this magical train and railway.

    Along the way, they have heard a lot of related rumors and news about trains and railways, and now they finally have the opportunity to see it, and even take a train from Taiyuan to the capital of the Ming Dynasty in person.

    Taiyuan Railway Station is crowded with people. With the construction of the railway from Taiyuan to Beijing and trains starting to operate, people from all over Shanxi seem to be coming to join in the fun.

    Ali Pasha¡¯s entourage arrived in Taiyuan in advance and spent a lot of money to buy first-class tickets.

    After some inspection, we successfully entered the train station, and then Ali Pasha, Moses and others hurried to the platform.

    "Is this a train?"

    Moses looked at the huge machine in front of him. Although he had read about the train in the newspaper and heard it from others, when he saw the train with his own eyes, he was still shocked by the huge machine in front of him.

    "So long, so big~"

    Ali Pasha looked left and right; Ali Pasha nodded in sudden realization, looked at the railway that extended to the end of his field of vision, then opened his eyes slightly and said: "Are these railway tracks all made of steel?"

    "Yes, sir, these are all made of steel."

    Rustu nodded and said.

    "How much steel is needed to build a railway from here to the capital of Ming Dynasty?"

    "And how many people are needed to forge this rail? Such a huge rail seems to be similar to each rail. How do they make it?"

    Ali Pasha looked at the railway tracks in front of him. The people of Ming Dynasty were too extravagant.

    Such high-quality steel is used to build railways, and looking at it, we don't know how much steel will be used. Steel is a very precious thing in this era, it is expensive, and smelting and forging are extremely difficult.  Not easy.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
