"Old Si, you see that you really don't understand the folk customs of Guangdong. Although Guangfu, Chaoshan and Hakka are all Han people in Guangdong, their relationship is like fire and water. It's far from a simple matter of not dealing with each other. They start fighting with each other. They all killed the whole family. And this kind of fighting did not change because of migration. The Manchus and the Qing Dynasty moved some Guangdong Hakkas to Hainan because of the fighting between natives and guests. As a result, fighting between natives and guests appeared in Hainan again. Besides, both Hakkas and Chaoshan people came out. The famous group, if you put these two groups together and add the Hokkien people in it, it’s because you think it’s not fun for them to kill.”

"You mean these people can't be used?"

"What I mean is: before systematic social transformation is carried out, the original social structure is broken, and modern national and civic consciousness is instilled in them, it is useless to just play with the power of using one against another and to contain each other. It will only further intensify the situation. Conflicts, and even attract wolves into the house. In the old time and space, were there few cases in which the Chinese in Southeast Asia played the game of "blackmailing the barbarians for self-respect" and seduced the natives to massacre their compatriots? You must know that in the old time and space, most of the most ruthless abuses of the Chinese overseas were the Chinese. This situation would only become more serious in the 17th century. ." Ran Yao scolded.

"It's not impossible for Xue Ruowang to set up a plantation, but he can't choose Palembang - that's the territory of the Aceh Emirate. The Dutch have some influence, but Aceh is not a vegetarian. Let's go and get involved, because there is not enough power. We can't keep it, and we can't afford it if we invest too much. Xiao Xue himself is squatting in Batavia and can't take care of Palembang. We have to send another elder to watch... Now that we are ready to open a base to extract oil in Brunei. The hot plantation garden is placed That's Brunei." Wu De has actually killed this plan. "As for Xiao Xue, his work in Batavia is still very important. Especially to urge the Dutch to grow our rubber well."

Wu Nanhai was most concerned about the thermal plantation. He immediately expressed his stance: "I am 100% in favor of the establishment of tropical plantations. I don't have any opinion on where to do it. The Dutch are probably unreliable. No one has ever established a rubber plantation in this time and space. They also have to slowly explore. I think it is more reliable for us to handle it ourselves. I have a veteran here named Xiao Hezhou. He has always wanted to engage in rubber planting, so let him handle the Brunei business."

"Xiao Hezhou? Have you fried chicken steak in the cafeteria? His coconut chicken steak is very good. But I heard that he is engaged in finance or something. Do you know rubber?"

"He is no longer in the canteen. Now he works as an agricultural technician in the hot-cropping experimental garden of our farm. He is also a technician in the food factory: in addition to chicken steaks, he can also make fish floss - let's not talk about this, let's talk about it. I don’t know anything about rubber planting, so I have to learn it all from scratch. I think he is very motivated.”

"As long as he is willing to go to Brunei, I don't think it's okay." Ma Qianxu said, "It is the last word to let the veterans go out and take charge of their own affairs. Of course, open recruitment still needs to be done, and more suitable candidates can go. "

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Ma Qianju turned the page of the document: "Next, let's talk about agricultural issues, especially food. There is not enough food, and people's hearts are unstable. If we want to conquer the mainland, we need a lot of food to buy it. People’s hearts protect people’s strength.”

Wu Nanhai cleared his throat; "Let me tell you briefly. The cultivated land we directly operate in Hainan, Taiwan and Jeju Island - including state-owned farms and contracted land under the name of Tiandihui - totals about 1 million dryland and paddy fields. acres. Next year, we will prepare 500,000 acres of paddy fields to plant two crops of rice and one season of safflower. The average yield per mu in the two seasons is about 600 kilograms of rice. The combined brown rice is about 450 kilograms. Calculated based on the average monthly grain requirement of 30 kilograms per person, the rice The project can feed 620,000 people. Considering that this is only our directly operated land, the harvest of Hainan’s farmers and landowners’ own operations has not been taken into account. So feeding the people of Hainan, Taiwan and Jeju Island is not a problem.”

"Is the yield per mu a bit high? I remember that pesticides and fertilizers were never sufficient. Not all cultivated land in state-owned farms has undergone soil and water improvement." Ma Qianzhu expressed concern.

"Part of these 500,000 acres has undergone water and soil improvement, and some are paddy fields with better conditions. Coupled with our advantages in seeds and field management, it is completely possible to achieve this average yield per mu. I have done research: In agricultural counties such as Qiongshan and Wenchang in Hainan, the yield of ordinary paddy fields in a single late rice crop can reach more than 2 dan per mu in normal years."

Wu Nanhai spoke unequivocally, and everyone nodded frequently. Although they were ordinary people in the past, in recent years they have become important government officials in charge. The importance of food to the country is understood better than in the past.

"The remaining 500,000 acres are mainly dry land and paddy fields with poor conditions. In addition to part of them being used to grow cash crops, I plan to use them all to grow potatoes, sweet potatoes and miscellaneous grains. The combined output of this part can feed another 400,000 people. It can be done.”

1 million people, which is almost the entire population of the area ruled by the Senate. However, farmers had to support themselves and pay land taxes to the Senate, which could also be supplemented by rice imported from Beiqi and Siam. These grains are the capital for them to launch the Guangdong and Guangxi strategy.

"...The main problem in our agriculture is still the same old tune. Modern agriculture has three treasures: seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. We have seeds, but the scale of breeding cannot keep up, and the sowing rate of improved seeds is low even on directly operated land. Less than 30%; there are too few chemical fertilizers. We now rely on growing green manure and fermenting feces waste to replace nitrogen fertilizers, and use struvite and fish meal to replace phosphate fertilizers. Not only is the fertilizer efficiency low, but it also consumes a lot of labor. The biggest problem with pesticides is that we basically cannot produce them. Chemical pesticides can only rely on so-called soil pesticides. The main raw materials of soil pesticides are plants. To produce large-scale production, they must be planted on a large scale, which requires a lot of land and manpower. Moreover, the efficacy is poor and the storage time is short. From a cost perspective, it is It is very uneconomical. However, modern improved varieties generally do not consider pests and diseases when optimizing, so the demand for pesticides is particularly high. I hope that the chemical industry can make a breakthrough in organic pesticides as soon as possible."

Zhan Wuya thought for a while and said: "The chemical industry is indeed our shortcoming. If we want to make a breakthrough, we have to rely on materials. Our processing technology is seriously surplus, and we have serious shortcomings in materials. Just mentioned the electric furnace, if If it can be done, the door to chemical industry and electric power can basically be opened. Now there is manganese in Hainan, and there is a small tungsten mine with some molybdenum in it. The plan is to mine it in the first year, but we still lack too many things. Mainly chromium , nickel, without which we basically can’t go into chemical industry, whether it is petrochemical or coal chemical industry, there is no hope, synthetic ammonia, pesticides are no hope.”

"Chromium and nickel are very difficult to get. It's not that refining is difficult, but there was no place to mine and refine these two metals in the 17th century: we have to build an industrial chain ourselves from beginning to end. The key is these two domestic mines It’s not easy to find…”

"Isn't Lando in charge of this matter in the Philippines?"

"Philippines, just how difficult it is to mine mines makes me shudder." Wu De frowned, "In the tropical primitive jungle, if the ore is on the seaside, it's okay, but if it's inland, it would be a miracle just to find the veins alive..."

Hainan itself has nickel ore and chromium ore reserves, and the Shilu cobalt copper mine in Changhua has quite abundant nickel ore reserves. However, they all have the problem of small reserves and low grade, and the mining cost is not small. It is a typical useless resource.

"Now Southeast Asian companies should not be satisfied with trade, but should have more elements of exploration and development." Ma Jia suggested, "We must promote mixed ownership. Southeast Asian companies are inherently mixed ownership. I think we can take greater steps." , absorb more private maritime capital and manpower into the company, and grant more independent management rights. We can follow some practices of the Europeans. We must support and encourage adventurers to go out, and don't think about "out of control". With our strength, Where can a small colonial force get out of control? Make full use of private power to find and obtain resources for us, and don't interfere too much. Now we have to do everything ourselves: some technical issues have to be like this, but for things like mining, Can it be completely left to private capital to operate? The key is to regulate it legally."

"You really stick to your profession." Wu De said with a smile, "Do you want an exploration law or a colonial law? By the way, your Law Society has been struggling for so many years, except for the "Public Security Regulations", "Marriage Regulations" and No formal law other than the "General Principles of Civil and Commercial Law" has been enacted. Whenever there is a trial, "Australia's leading jurisprudence" is used to cover it up. It is simply free-spirited testimony..."

Ma Jia's face turned red and he argued: "The law is a very serious matter. All aspects must be taken into consideration. Besides, our work is not simply copying legal provisions. It must also be combined with the specific circumstances of this time and space. We must be cautious. The so-called full investigation On the basis of research, we gathered the strengths of many experts..." He was afraid that people would question the work efficiency of the Law Society, so he quickly said, "Our Law Society has drafted the Marriage Law, the Criminal Code, and the Civil Code. That's about it. Don't underestimate these laws. The Marriage Law contains the basic contents of civil laws centered on small families, such as inheritance law, and provides legal protection for us to establish a new social atmosphere. "Criminal Code" and the Civil Code have prepared the legal basis for us to suppress and liquidate clan tyrants and all kinds of evil spirits and monsters. With these laws, we basically have the basis for governing the country according to law."

Xiao Zishan asked: "How do you position the elders legally?"

Ma Jia said: "The first paragraph of every law says that the sanctity of the senators is inviolable. The senators are the pillars of the country. The senators are not subject to the laws of this body. Any legal issues involving the senators will be handled by the Senate in accordance with the laws of the senators. Common program."
