Ordinary people can best tell the difference between good and bad, because it is related to their food, clothing and living standards. No matter how good the official report is, it is not as clear as their own feelings.
Therefore, fundamentally speaking, the clans in Jiaozhou strongly support the Yuanfeng Dynasty. These people are even more loyal to this dynasty than most aristocratic families. In fact, what Chen Xi said when he was talking nonsense with Chen Shang was actually what he meant.
We all have such a big body, I can trust you to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, but I really can’t believe that your entire family is loyal to me, we are all adults now. Moreover, everyone has land and strength. It is better to talk about reality than to talk about loyalty.
On the contrary, most people who have enjoyed the dividends of the country becoming stronger are more loyal to this country, so many things are actually very painful, and it is not easy to distinguish between right and wrong.
When Chen Xi deals with many practical problems, the biggest problem is actually not being able to find the person who is at the core of the bad government, which leads to the fact that those who want to solve the problems cannot solve them.
"To tell you the truth, even if the government takes the initiative to promote it, from the northern border to Jiuzhen, which is thousands of miles away, it will not be promoted for three to five years." Chen Xi sighed and said, "I don't even know it. I know Jiuzhen, how those people in Nichinan obtained the relevant construction technology."
"It's about eating, so the attention is quite high." Zhou Yu said expressionlessly. Can he say that he knew about the existence of Lei Jitai, not after returning to the Central Plains, but when he was in Sumatra? This is not only thousands of miles away, but it has traveled from the north of the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's be realistic. I don't have enough time to grow fruits and vegetables here in the Central Plains. Although I can grow some in a small area, it's really not enough to eat." Chen Xi sighed and said, it can't be popularized. That makes no sense. Currently, the fruit shortage in the Central Plains is relatively poor.
"You mean to ask me to plant bananas in Sumatra?" Zhou Yu's face was irritated. I am a Shuhou who governs all over the world. Even if the focus of my work is shifted next, you ask me to plant bananas instead. This is too much. .
"Stop talking nonsense, one million tons a year. Counting your debt of 800 million, if you can get more than one million tons, that's even better. I'll use the extra to make military rations." Chen Xi was too lazy to talk to Zhou Yu about the focus of his work. , directly use money to destroy the problem.
Zhou Yu did a quick mental calculation and found that one million tons was a bit too much, but where they were stationed, fruits like bananas and coconuts were simply natural gifts. They had to look for spices and so on, but things like bananas and coconuts , any native can find a large wild forest, where this is the staple food, can you believe it?
"As Shuhou, who is the governor of the world, he is not suitable." Zhou Yu decided to struggle twice. Eight hundred million dollars per year, which is five baht, is hard currency, especially the kind that Chen Xi has posted, which is directly an internal account settlement operation. , 800 million yuan can even arrange the fleet.
"One billion dollars." Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu speechlessly, struggling like hell, let you provide some manpower. The Philippines and Indonesia will have this kind of wild thing in future generations, business without capital, you are still making trouble, you can't do it Just go get spices, they are fancy and don’t cost much.
"1.2 billion, I will give you some other fruits every year." Zhou Yu thought for a moment, and decided to go to internal accounts for one billion dollars. There is still some left over due to fleet arrangements, so he will do it, but he will have to pay more before leaving.
"Okay, as long as the delicious fruits grown there are brought to the Central Plains, I'm not too lazy to tell you what kind of fruits they are. A ton of fruits costs a thousand coins." Southeast Asia is a big producer of fruits, and Chen Xi can't spare any space in the Central Plains. Manpower, and the natives in Southeast Asia are better at this, and the climate is suitable, so there is nothing to say, just luck.
Unlike the commercial colonization of later generations, the feudal model of this era was more ruthless.
At least the former type has to fight against the resistance of the colonial natives. The latter type, if I don’t destroy you, how can I carry out construction, so I raised a Sun Bofu. Although there are not many people, Southeast Asia has a strong influence on the Han Dynasty. In an instant, it becomes a matter of getting and asking.
The feudal system basically means multi-core rule. Although the shortcomings are obvious, the split core is equivalent to the center for the feudal country itself, so regardless of Sun Bofu looking at Duocai, this guy can really do whatever he wants in Southeast Asia now .
Similarly, the central government can also save a lot of things. Of course, the premise is that the local governments do not rebel. As long as they do not rebel, the difficulty of management will be reduced a lot. Just like Chang'an was originally the core, when the governance spread to Jiangnan, it was beyond its capabilities. , when it comes to Southeast Asia, even if something happens, it will be difficult to control.
But now Sun Ce's army is stationed there. If there is any local dissatisfaction, just say it directly, and because of the complete bureaucracy there, many things are strangled before they happen.
In addition, Chen Xi also knows the inner thoughts of this group of people. Historically, when countries were closed, it was not because the central government was strong and they followed orders, but because the central government was not strong and decisively coveted them. The existence of this group of bastards can also make the central bureaucrats worry that they are invincible to foreign patients, and the country is invincible. Eternal death.
"One ton is 1,200 yuan. Since we start with bananas, we can unify the price and the accounts will be easier to calculate." Zhou Yu didn't bother to care about the fruit output of Southeast Asia. Anyway, with this guy's eyesight, these are almost free of charge, so it's not as good as Be simple.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you 1,200 fen." Chen Xi thought for a while, Zhou Yu still had to transport the fruit to the port, so 1,200 fen would be 1,200 fen.
"Coconut is also a fruit." Zhou Yu added.
"Don't push yourself too far." Chen Xi said unhappily, "Two coconuts cost a penny."
"Our coconuts weigh about three to four kilograms each. They are big coconuts, not small coconuts like Qiongya. Two for one penny is too much." Zhou Yu said with a dark face. He only felt this after taking over the Jiaozhou Coconut Processing Factory. How much has been hacked?
"It's sold by the piece. It's none of my business if you grow up so big." Chen Xi said angrily, "One penny for two can feed more people. Anyway, they are all picked up for free. For such a high price, you Do you still have some moral integrity? I heard that you are in Sumatra, where ten coconuts cost a penny."
"They can get hundreds of coconuts a day. I don't have ten coconuts for a penny. I don't have enough money. Anyway, the people there have nothing to do. They can't do anything except squatting in the trees. They pick coconuts and bananas to use as army rations." Okay." Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, not wanting to discuss this with Chen Xi.
Think about it, coconuts are all picked up for free, just two for a penny.
"Shuhou is going to become a fruit monopoly?" Sima Lang came over and said with a faint smile, "You are the governor of the four oceans."
"It's good to get over a billion dollars a year for free, especially since it happens every year and will gradually increase." Although Zhou Yu felt that it was a shame for him to do this, he gave too much and didn't even have the spices. If you have lots of fruits, you won’t be disgusted with them.
"I suggest you go back to palm oil. If I ask you to make oil, it will be like evaporating." Chen Xi looked at Sima Lang, then pointed to the side and said. He knew that Sima Lang must have something to find him. After that, He also warned Zhou Yu.
"I haven't found out what palm oil you are talking about yet. I heard that it is still being planted." Zhou Yu waved his hand. He just wants to have sex for free and only grow rice in the fields. In short, when I solve the food security problem, we Let’s talk about planting oil plants.
Fruits and other things can be picked up for free, so this business can be done. Since the local natives have nothing to do, it is not a matter of course to arrange some work for them and collect their taxes.
"This one is also wild. Go get it quickly." Chen Xi said with a headache. It is so difficult to teach people to make money. Everything that can be imported can make money.
"Oh oh oh, you told me earlier. You have always said you would plant it before. Since it is wild, it is no problem. I will send someone to do it later." Zhou Yu instantly accepted Chen Xi's suggestion. This guy actually has a very clear mind. It is very clear what is the main position and what is the deputy position.
Building the water network in Sumatra and transforming the floodplain area into a grain-producing area are the main tasks. The other tasks are secondary tasks and can be easily done, so do it. If you can't do it easily, then don't waste it. time.
The local natives could handle things like fruit production and water network construction, but the local natives could only help more and more chaos. The same was true for farming. Therefore, planting oil palm was a job that required native people from the Han Dynasty. Zhou Yu decisively gave up. He only needs the kind of work that the natives can handle. All the native Han people need to mobilize to build water conservancy and then divide the fields.
Two hundred acres per person is still three crops a year, plus half of it is paddy field, so the Han people who work for Zhou Yu have enough motivation.
"If you can't figure it out this time, I'll send a professional there." Chen Xi said to Zhou Yu with a dark face.
Chen Xi waited for palm oil to be used in fried foods. Peanut oil had no hope before the fall of Yuanfeng's sixth year. It had basically been sold out. The output of coconut oil was only that much. Jiaozhou people could finish it by themselves.
This is very unscientific, but very realistic. There are too many products made from coconuts. The demand for coconut and shredded coconut is excessive. As a result, the output of coconut oil is enough for Jiaozhou people to eat themselves. Jiaozhou state-owned processing plants often use Coconut oil is used as a by-product, distributed to employees, and then distributed.
I guess Zhou Yu's coconut processing factory is just that. In the end, there is a high probability that he will finish it all at home, so if he wants to fry it, he can only introduce palm oil. Anyway, anything that can be eaten is from the Central Plains people. The demand is astonishing.
"You said this is wild. Then you give me the whole picture and I will let the locals do it. If it can't be done, I will transport the raw materials to Yangzhou or Xuzhou for you at the price of 5,000 yuan per ton. Zhou Yu said cheerfully.
