"Okay, anyway, I know that the Zhou family is a wealthy family and looks down on banana sellers." Chen Xi clicked his tongue twice and said quite casually.
"It's not that I look down on it, but it's unnecessary." Zhou Yu shook his head and said. The current bananas in Southeast Asia are not domesticated. They are still small bananas. Of course, they still taste good. This thing has been eaten as a staple food since ancient times. .
Zhou Yu also ate this stuff in Southeast Asia. In fact, in the south, both Sun Ce and Liu Bei used bananas as military rations.
To a certain extent, this sweet taste, after being made into dried food, is much better in nutritional supplements than military rations, so the Han army had a good taste in bananas.
"Yeah." Chen Xi nodded without saying anything. Zhou Yu, no one these days, would definitely not be able to realize the value of things like bananas, but to be honest, if the Ling Emperor could get the technology for drying bananas, he wouldn't even know it. You need to sell your official position and get a title.
What's the point of selling an official title? Sell a Sangong to Huangfu Song at a 30% discount. You can't even sell it for 20 million yuan. Let's exchange it for dried bananas. Selling money is one thing. Isn't it beautiful to rush into the treasury? Isn't it beautiful to provide disaster relief? , after all, the output of bananas is ten times that of crops...
The military food also has a sweet taste, and sugar is a necessary product for survival, so Chen Xi could only laugh and say nothing about Zhou Yu's behavior.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether you, Zhou Yu, engage in the banana industry. After I, Chen Xi, make my eastward tour south, I will definitely go to the junction of Jiaozhou and Yangzhou, and then vigorously develop bananas and coconuts in Jiaozhou.
Although that place is quite suitable for farming and has obvious climate advantages, if you really want to say it, it is easier to grow tropical fruits such as bananas and coconuts.
Saving trouble means that more people can be crammed into the factory, and being able to cram more people into the factory means that Jiaozhou, which has been experiencing turmoil for many years, can stabilize and live well. Why bother with turmoil? People are not What a fool.
After tasting the sweetness, Jiaozhou, which is currently not developed at all, will be wildly reclaimed by the locals, and then plant more cash crops, and then stuff these cash crops into factories to make dried bananas. Those who squeeze coconut oil will squeeze coconut oil, and those who should make canned pineapples will make canned pineapples. When the time comes, the state will not be stable? Wilderness? Just kidding!
These days, only if you can't survive will you be unstable. If you can survive, you can work with peace of mind, eat and drink with peace of mind, who has nothing to stir up trouble!
Zhou Yu may have also heard the teasing and perfunctory tone in Chen Xi's words. Although he didn't understand why Chen Xi had such a tone, he still decided to write it down. Bananas and other things, looking back at what happened, actually got Chen Xi's attention. .
"There is a continent over there, you didn't mention it, why don't you talk about it?" Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu and asked, that part of Australia was included in the account when Lu Bu ascended and then came back.
"That area does not belong to us. We are just mining on it. If we really want to count, it belongs to Wenhou." In the past, when there was a lack of land, every inch of land had to be fought over, but now this Whether the situation is your own or not, you know it in your heart.
Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu with disdain, and while saying it was not yours, he promised Lu Jun a million tons of iron ore. Do you think I don't know anything?
As for saying that it is Lu Bu's place, save it, Lu Bu has probably forgotten that place long ago. With Lu Bu's memory ability, probably the simplest and crudest way is that the place where his wife and children are is his home, and the rest is No place.
Zhou Yu didn't feel Chen Xi's contemptuous look at all. How old is he? He still cares about this, not to mention putting his name on Lu Bu. Isn't it good to mine on it by himself? If asked, just tell Lu Bu about it. Even if Lu Bu is... If a country is established on it, will Lu Bu's habits not allow everyone to mine? What's more, whether Lu Bu comes or not is still a problem.
"Okay, if you say it's from Marquis Wen, I'll just assume you believe it." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "Everyone knows what's going on in that place, and I don't need you to pay taxes. You dug the iron ore from there. , the Han Dynasty took away half of it, and the mine was placed under the Smelting Department."
Zhou Yu nodded and expressed his understanding. Apart from the fact that it was an official support, there was nothing to say but it was hot for whoever took it.
"After that, I will give you a group of skilled workers, and then you can also find a group of people to study here. I will open up some positions so that you can obtain some skills." Although Sun Ce was not present, Chen Xi was basically sure about Zhou Yu. Everything can be decided, so I told Zhou Yu directly what I shouldn’t have said to anyone other than Sun Ce.
"I don't think I can build seventh-generation ships if you open a position for me." Zhou Yu looked at Chen Xi and said very seriously.
"But with these positions, coupled with the technology you have accumulated and the raw materials in reserve, it is still enough to make a castrated version of the seventh-generation ship." Chen Xi said with a smile, "I will give you the technology of the seventh-generation ship. Yes, can you make it?"
Zhou Yu wanted to say yes, but in fact Zhou Yu knew very well that the seventh-generation ship was truly something that a country could only create by concentrating all its manpower and material resources. With Jiangdong’s small arms and legs, to be honest, it was really It cannot be manufactured.
"So don't think too much. Even if I give it to you, you can't build it, so let's accumulate technology first." Chen Xi said with a smile, "What's more, I'm thinking that even if you understand the seventh-generation ship and copy the complete production line, you still need to The time calculated in years.”
Zhou Yu didn't want to talk. It was obvious that most of the craftsmen who helped in Jiangnan would be recalled by then. The skills of these old craftsmen were very important.
"Okay, I don't need the most high-end and top-notch things in each category, but I need to complete the basics of all categories." Zhou Yu said seriously. Since he has decided on Sumatra Island as the rear area, it is obvious that he will take all categories. Whole system.
A small prince doesn't have that much money to play this game, but Zhou Yu is standing in Sumatra, holding the entire Southeast Asia in his hands, with Australia at his back, saying that this is Lu Bu's place, but no one cares about resources or anything else, so he doesn't try. If so, why bother?
"Okay, but what you want is the foundation of each category, which will take more time. I can't copy them all for you in a short time." Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu and nodded, but did not reject Zhou Yu's proposal.
"In terms of time, I have a lot of time." Zhou Yu said nonchalantly. The worst thing is that it will last longer than your life. Who is afraid of whom? My inner energy is extremely separated from the body. How can I beat you, a fox?
"As for the personnel, prepare it yourself." Chen Xi nodded. Zhou Yu was young and ambitious, and had a long-term vision. If it were Cao Cao, he would never make such a request. To be honest, such a request can still be fooled in front of others. In the past, on Chen Xi's side, it was like Zhou Yu jumping out and saying that I wanted to create another Central Plains, a real act of transgression.
However, Chen Xi didn't care much about this. It would be great for Zhou Yu to be able to create another Central Plains.
"No problem." Zhou Yu nodded. He didn't know that such a project would take ten years or more to complete if he didn't have enough technical personnel and it was impossible for Chen Xi to outsource technical personnel on a large scale.
But even if he knew it, Zhou Yu would not give up. He lost to Chen Xi in the Central Plains, and even felt wronged by Chen Xi when he came back after defeating Selian. Zhou Yu was also a little bit superior. I can't win by myself, at least I have to leave a legacy for my descendants. There is hope for a comeback.
As for whether future generations can rely on this hope to make a comeback, Zhou Yu doesn't know, but as a senior, I will try my best to do whatever I can.
"You are quite cheerful." Chen Xi said with a sigh, should I say that he is worthy of Mizhouro? The determination and courage are both impressive.
"It gives people some hope, right?" Zhou Yu said calmly.
"Yes, since we have reached an agreement on these aspects, let's talk about something else, about your Zhou family." Chen Xi watched Zhou Yu change the subject, and Zhou Yu's originally calm expression also turned silent. Ji, Xu Zhou Yu's family, Zhou Yu's family, Zhou Yu knew it all in his mind.
"About how long will you stay in the Central Plains?" Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu and asked.
"In one month, I will go back to Sumatra." Zhou Yu nodded and said, "I will take my family with me when I leave this time."
Earlier, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu left their family members in the Central Plains not only because they wanted to keep them hostage, but also because they felt that the battle in the South China Sea was uncertain, so they were reluctant to take Xiao Qiao there.
It's just that Liu Bei is not interested in this at all. He is not blind. Chen Xi controls Sun's logistics, so Xiao Qiao has always been in Jiangdong and has not come to Chang'an. This is why Sun Ce thinks that Liu Bei is so grand that he can be called a hero in the world with him. s reason.
Now that Sun Ce has established a foothold in Southeast Asia, Zhou Yu feels that it is time to take his family there and settle down there from now on.
"What do you do with those bad things in the Zhou family?" Chen Xi glanced at Zhou Yu and asked.
Let’s not talk about the Sun family. It is a poor family. If Sun Ce didn’t really have the air of being the Lord of Destiny, he wouldn’t be able to get up at all. In addition, there are only a few big and small cats in the family, and the most trouble-making Sun Quan is also Sun Ce was sent to Kandahar, and there was no one to cause trouble.
Therefore, even if the Sun family wants to do something, there is actually nothing they can do. The only ones in Jiangdong who can really make trouble are the Xu family, the Zhou family, and the Ji family. These three families have deep backgrounds and deep roots in the local area. , even when processing, some people’s senses need to be considered.
For now, these families have already escaped the level of low-level exploitation. They basically don’t do anything harmful to the world, and they can always live well in terms of face. However, some small actions make Lu Su always feel that three drinks of wine as a penalty is a bit difficult, but doing it himself is a bit fake. You have to find someone else.
