Half an hour later, the three brothers Sun Dewei and the three brothers were sitting in the lower heads, and Sun Dean was talking.

"Father, before answering your question, the child wants to talk about his income in Anxi first."

"First of all, because of my young age, I caused a big disaster in Anxi, causing irreparable losses to the Hanhai Army. This matter will be remembered for the rest of my life."

Nikan was thinking in his heart, "Is that so? I asked you to answer the question just now, instead of letting you go beyond your second brother to answer Anxi's question directly. It seems that although this guy is young, he has no sense of seniority. As the saying goes, it is good to say that he is old at the age of three. Where should such a person be put?"

Nikan, 36 years old this year, has been practicing for a long time, not to worry about his favor and disgrace, let alone facing his son. Although he thought so, he had no turmoil on his face. Of course, he did not stop Sun De'an.

"Father, the land of Anxi was placed in the previous dynasty, and only the Mongols had managed it. Most of them were the territory of the Qincha Khanate. Apart from this, no one was involved, including the Han and Tang Dynasties."

"In fact, if there is no steam engine, this place is not as good as the hilly grasslands in the south. Why? The main reason is that there are too many swamps here and there are frozen soil layers underground. There is no steam engine. It is very difficult to build houses on this ground with manpower, drain the accumulated water and farm, and carry out mining operations."

"But with a steam engine, it is simple. The iron drill bit driven by the steam engine can easily go deep into the underground for pile foundation operations. The equipment driven by the steam engine can also easily mine minerals and crush minerals. If a train appears in the future, it can also be conveniently transported. However, even now, it can be transported with sledges in winter."

Nikan seemed to have caught something. He was sure that this was the result of his eleven-year-old son's independent thinking, because not to mention the information of Harhatu, Wang Zhi, Luo Jizhi, and others, even he, a time traveler, had never thought about it carefully.

"Father, as long as the drainage problem is solved, the southern plains of Western Siberia will be greatly better than the Kazakh arid grasslands in the south, but it still needs to be thoughtful to stabilize this place."

"In history, the Huns, Turks and Mongolia have regarded this place as a summer pasture and have never thought about how to stabilize it for a long time. The Kazakh grassland scene in the south is similar to the desert in the south and north, so it can still maintain a relatively long nomadic regime there, and it is a little worse to go north."

Nikan objected, "The Siberian Khanate was also separated from the Golden Horde and is still in the middle and lower reaches of the Ob River. How did they survive?"

Sun Dean replied: "What my father said is very true, but because of the size of their tens of thousands of entries, they were defeated by thousands of Russians. It can be imagined that they are not a completely nomadic tribe."

"So, if you want to truly consolidate this place, one is the population. The father is currently working on this matter, and the other is the road. The main road of Daxia Chi Road in Anxi has also been repaired. However, due to the permafrost layer, the main road here is also the worst. Building a railway in the future is also the biggest problem."

Nikan was so nervous that it was naturally difficult to build a railway in Siberia. However, today, the Great Xia Kingdom already had a steam engine, digging up frozen soil and using pile foundations to build the tracks on the permafrost layer. It was just that the cost was too expensive, and I didn’t know how the Russians in later generations built it. I remember that it took a long time and took a lot of effort to build the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in later generations. The biggest problem encountered there was the permafrost layer.

Roadbeds are just one of the troubles. The Siberian region is cold in winter and the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large, which makes the railway tracks prone to deformity and brittleness.

"Before this, a large number of cavalry was the only magic weapon to manage this land, but what I was worried about was that tribes such as Dulbert, Turgut, Tatar, etc. are currently temporarily surrendering due to the strong national strength of our country. Once it takes a long time, I am afraid that they will still suffer from elbows."

"Oh?" Nikan knew at this time that this guy must be alarmist. He concluded from the old yellow calendar he had read about the negligent transformation of the northern nomadic tribes. After the industrial revolution of the Great Xia Kingdom and the standing army gradually became professional, and with the advantage of a large number of cavalry, he would firmly control the land unless it appeared.

Think about the later Russian Empire, you will know that when a standing army with large-scale mechanized production (although it is still very shallow), stable agriculture, animal husbandry, and a capable standing army with firearms as its main weapons appeared in the 17th century, it almost crushed the surrounding nomadic tribes.

All this will be realized in Russia in fifty years. However, with Peter dressed up from the Netherlands and Britain as the fur learned from apprentices, he and his descendants will have to wait 150 years later to completely conquer the Central Asian area. The current technological level of the Great Xia Kingdom has reached the level of the Russians more than a hundred years later. If the Dingkou is sufficient, it would not be a problem to conquer the Central Pressure now.

The only thing you need to worry about after the conquest is not the gathering of nomadic tribes, but the issue of religion. This is also the reason why Nikan has not taken action against the Central Pressure for a long time.

In his plan, it is ideal to use the Junggar Khanate to attack the Central Pressure, and his Daxia Kingdom will take another move. However, unexpected events are happening, and the Junggar Khanate is clearly showing signs of unity with the Kazakh Khanate.

"Ahem," Nikan coughed lightly, "Sude, you can tell me the question I asked your elder brother just now."

Sun Dean felt a little nervous. This was because his father was not very satisfied with what he said just now.

"Yes, father. As for the problem just now, the child thinks so. Just look at the army and government affairs separately. The army still focuses on regulation, blood, training, and technology as the supplement, while other aspects are mainly based on technology, and others are supplemented."

Nikan only smiled at this moment. This boy was indeed smart. Although he was young, he discovered the key to it at a glance.

"It's great, but in government affairs, there is no problem of main and auxiliary. Regulation, technology, rewards and punishments are all important and should not be neglected."

Until this time, Nikan had already decided on the best place for this child in his heart.

But he is only eleven years old now and his life is still long. Let's talk about it later.

"Father Emperor", Sun Deen stood up. Just now, Sun Dean passed by his second brother and spoke first, which made him feel really unhappy. In his heart, Sun Dewei was born by the queen and the eldest, and it was appropriate to lead among the princes. However, the third brother was born by the imperial concubine like him, but he was just showing off his strength all the time.

Although I thought so in my heart, I said, "What the child thinks is similar to my third brother. It is east of the Yenisei River to the ocean, either the plateau or the mountains. It is even more bitter and cold than in Western Siberia. There are even fewer people there. How can the Daxia Kingdom stabilize this place is also a big problem."

"From the perspective of Chia, since there are not many Dingkou in these places, it is unlikely to cause hidden dangers to our country. Some of the current countermeasures are completely fine, but Chia still found a problem when traveling with her grandfather in the past or two years."

"oh?"

Even Nikan himself had no good ideas about East and West Siberia. He filled the land with criminals and prisoners of war, and gradually enriched the land. In time, he would eventually firmly occupy this place. Just like the Russians in later generations, there would be no force to seize the land with him in the visible future.

Americans? It was only after 150 years that they began to explore the west.

"Father, now we have big cities like Yakutsk on the Lena River. Apart from that, there is no big city in the entire East and West Siberia. According to the current situation, another big city may appear in the Jebin River Basin in the future, but it may be a few decades later."

"If you want to control this place as soon as possible, you still have to set up another big city outside Yakutsk."

"Oh?", this was something Nikan himself did not expect. He didn't expect that from his son, who has always been positioned as the real King of the North Court, who is more brave than his mind, he said it out.

"Then have you decided where to set up a city?"

“Magadan”

“Why?”

"Father, this place is located on the north coast of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, and the upper reaches of the Korema River. The port conditions are excellent. There are seven months of a year to be navigated. The nearby gold, silver, copper, iron and coal mines are rich in resources."

"The Sea of ​​Okhotsk is also rich in fishery resources, with many cetaceans and sea beasts. Therefore, we can develop industry, smelting metals, refining soaps, soaps, balms and other substances here."

"This is the gathering place of the Koriak people. To the west are the Yakuts and Evanki people, and to the east are the Chukots and Kamchats. This place is right among them. There are definitely not many of these Dingkous, but there are still tens of thousands of people. After the city is built here, their children can be mobilized to study. In addition to industry and mining, the country of Daxia can stabilize East and West Siberia earlier."

"Okay!" Nikan couldn't help but slap the table. Not to mention him in this section, even the Russians in later generations only remembered to build a city here in the 20th century.

"This matter will be left to the Siberian company to operate. How much money, materials, personnel are needed, you can discuss it with your grandfather and others and report it to me."

Nikan decided to let a pure company come forward to build a city this time to see how it works.

When I saw him today, the three older sons actually performed well. In terms of qualifications, the third son Sun De'an is the best, but he is just smart, and he is still far from intelligence.

The second son Sun Deen is calm and doesn't talk much at ordinary times, but from now on, it's not up to him that he just proposed to set up a city in Magadan, not that he thought about, not that Sahalian, Orgler and others, because those people have not received the long-term education of the Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, and some things will only be influenced by him after being with him for a long time.

As for the boss, although his qualifications are mediocre, he is willing to endure hardships, hard work, and not afraid of death, which is quite good. The so-called mediocre qualifications are from his higher perspective. In China, it is still better than ordinary students.

"I am also an ordinary person in the future. The university I went to was just a second-tier university. It was just hundreds of years more knowledge than the people at this time. In terms of qualifications, I may not be stronger than Sun Dewei. In addition, with Hong Chengchou, the overall situation, the situation is invincible and the level of Mao Hei, it is still worth looking forward to the teachings of teachers of a certain level."

After the second son's suggestion ended, Nikan made a decision almost in an instant.

"Father!"

But some people still disagree.
