The inventory of 120,000 tons is nothing compared to the large state-owned grain depots in Xiao Letian's previous life, but in the 19th century this was already a world-class large-scale grain depot.
In Xiao Letian's impression, a state-controlled grain depot in Dalian in later generations of China has nearly 1 million tons of reserves, and the remaining provincial-level grain depots also have grain reserves ranging from 20 to 300,000 tons.
That was the new China with a population of over one billion. The output per unit of land had doubled through new technology and the attribute bonus of chemical fertilizers. Coupled with a large number of overseas purchases, only one billion people could be fed and clothed.
And now, by destroying the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia and constantly encroaching on the living space of the indigenous monkeys, Xiao Letian has managed to accumulate such a huge food reserve in just five years. This is simply a miracle.
In Beijing, a city with a population of 1 million, if a famine occurs, the minimum amount of life-saving grain must be 15,000 tons per month. 120,000 tons of rice is enough to feed the people of the capital for eight months.
This is just a granary in the Bailayi area, but what about the Tudong River Basin? What about the rest of Borneo? Does Xiao Letian really want to solve the food ration problem of the entire Qing Dynasty on his own?
Commander-in-Chief Stefanski swallowed and said, "Oh my God! Can the grain output of the entire Southeast Asia really be able to feed such a large China? This is simply impossible!"
The muscles of Molière's disabled half of his face were twitching uncontrollably. "This is deep colonization! Xiao Letian is so terrible. He is completely different from us Europeans. We only eat the fattest meat of our prey, and he I just have to chew up all the bones and dregs and swallow them!"
"Establishing the Kentun District in the name of the Chinese people, completing the construction of a large number of immigrant towns without challenging the indigenous kings and Western powers, resulting in the occupation of a fait accompli..."
"What an insidious method. Do you have to give him time to repay this? We must destroy him. This scourge must not be allowed to remain..."
Molière belonged to the French elite and had a good education since childhood. In addition, he followed the French Emperor as an adult and witnessed many grand strategic battles, so he was very familiar with colonial culture.
The wave of Western colonization has begun since the Age of Discovery. However, due to various reasons, Europe's colonization of the entire earth has always had a very big drawback, that is, it can only colonize the surface, but not in depth.
The Spanish conquered the entire South America, and they ruled for nearly four hundred years, but they did not complete the complete colonization. The Portuguese also encountered the same problem when they conquered Asia. Of course, they could take away a lot of precious metals and valuable goods through trade and plunder, but that was all.
Later, emerging powers such as the Netherlands, Britain, and France actually did not do very well. Even India, the crown jewel known as the sun never sets, this fertile land that the British called the core of colonialism, actually did not do so well. Deep colonization.
The British only controlled countless princes, and then the princes controlled the untouchables. The British could completely control India's economic, diplomatic, and military lifelines, but the British were never able to directly come into contact with Indian culture, including land. .
In the Indian subcontinent, if the British want to increase cotton planting by 30%, then they cannot directly apply the decree to the Vaishyas, the class of Indian common people. Both Dili and Brahmins believed that the British colonists were the highest class.
But no matter how noble your status is, no matter how reverent we are to you, your decrees must be implemented in accordance with our cultural traditions.
If the British wanted more cotton, they would have to place more orders in the hands of land-owning Brahmins and Kshatriyas. Then these two classes would hire Vaishyas to manage the huge untouchable Shudras, and Finalize the production of cotton orders.
This is a huge cycle. The British got cheap resources, while the Vaishya commoners got the hiring fee, and the Shudras and Kshatriyas got the due benefits from the land's output.
In the end, those who were cruelly exploited were the untouchable Shudras. No one cared about their life and death. If they could give them a mouthful of food, it would be considered a favor by the gentlemen.
This is the case in India controlled by the British. Then you can imagine what the colonies run by other emerging powers are like. In fact, most of them are like Dakar run by the French, but there is no The plunder of construction.
The army massacred the natives, enslaved the primitive tribes, and took away precious resources such as gold, silver, and jewelry that Europe needed without having to pay half a copper to the colonies. Of course, those princes who cooperated with them to loot their own people also got a share. A little bit of leftovers.
There may be some investment in infrastructure left in the colony, but in the end it will only provide services to the colonists, rather than truly trying to change the fundamental appearance of the colony. Such a colonial concept that is completely plundering without any constructiveness is doomed. As Molière said, it can only be superficial colonization.
The roots of Europeans cannot take root at all, they are only superficially floating on the surface.
What Bai Layi showed today shocked Molière. Only today did he finally understand the core of Xiao Letian's real strategy. He finally understood what Xiao Letian wanted to use to fight against Western civilization.
Xiao Letian's eyes are more focused outside mainland China. He is more thinking about how to expand more colonies to China, rather than trying every means to get into the stinky cesspool of the Qing Dynasty to snatch the things left by his ancestors. Point excrement.
This is the pattern, this is the level of the human heart! In the Central Plains controlled by the Qing Dynasty, there were many careerists and rebels among the hundreds of millions of people, but those people's ideal from the beginning to the end was to engage in civil war and fight over the little family property left by their ancestors.
It's like a huge family. Everyone is going crazy, smashing, looting, and starting a civil war in the big house. To put it bluntly, they want to compete for the position of the patriarch. They want nothing more than to grab all the family wealth left by their ancestors for thousands of years. In his arms.
But Xiao Letian was not. Although he also came from this big family, he broke out resolutely and conquered a huge empire with his bare hands outside the mansion.
This is not an exaggerated description. When Xiao Letian left the country for the first time and secretly came to Ryukyu, during the riot of 100,000 Chinese, Xiao Letian used his knives, fists, and even his teeth and nails to fight with all his might. His own life was a great success for all nations.
Molière had an epiphany. Although he was a pervert, he was also a very intelligent pervert. He recalled everything about Xiao Letian in the intelligence, and he realized that only Xiao Letian in East Asia was worthy of being the King of Kings. reputation.
Needless to say, just for this huge heart, this world-swallowing mind, the kind of courage that can fly in space and overlook all living things on the earth, it is already unmatched.
Compared with Xiao Letian's grand strategy, whether it is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the turmoil of the Nian Army, the invasion of Agubai, the entry of the Manchus, or even all future careerists... they are like a firefly to a bright moon, and we can only feel sad. Eclipsed.
Isn't it obvious that a prodigal who only knows how to rob a family and fight within the family is better than an enterprising person who bravely breaks out of the house?
Note: Book friends, don’t be unable to bear the suffering of this moment. The current setbacks are to pave the way for the final victory. Be more considerate. Don’t be overwhelmed by seeing a small setback. Don’t be so fragile!
Hidden Dragon is definitely a cool novel, there is no doubt about this, but there are many kinds of cool novels! If I have to use some real objects as an example, I think the average Shuangwen is a glass of cold and refreshing juice drink. It tastes sweet to the heart from the first sip to the last sip.
But Daqing Yinlong is not. This is a cup of strong tea or a cup of original coffee. All the fragrance and sweetness are gradually produced along with the bitterness when you first drink it.
Where can you feel the more interesting sweetness without the previous bitterness?
The recent plot has been very exciting, so I can’t spoil it too much for you, but everything is laid out from beginning to end.
The last time, this is the last time I will give a small spoiler, it is very important. "This book is definitely not to praise the Qing Dynasty! This is a book about rebellion! The Qing Dynasty will definitely end in the end! It's just Xiao Letian's way of rebellion. , it should be relatively rare, at least in the online literature industry, among the historical texts I have read, there has never been such a successful rebellion!"
Do you understand? This is the last spoiler. No one should ask me questions like this again.
If you want to enjoy the plot, come to more genuine books and subscribe! This is practical information, no matter how false it is, it’s useless. In one sentence, the higher the genuine subscription, the more motivated I will be!
"The tax is collected, the tax is collected! Xiao Letian knocked on the door to collect the tax. Open the door, fellow. The Chinese collect war tax. If you don't pay it, I will give it away... Ouch, fellow, your daughter is very beautiful, isn't she? Don't pay it. If you pay taxes, I will steal the flower girl..."
Haha, the plot writing has been very exciting recently. It feels like every character is alive and out of my control... maybe this is a precursor to my schizophrenia!
