Fangdong's personality is more inclined to politics, while Wu Haoran is more inclined to be a military commander. This is a character born from nature that cannot be changed.
With Fangdong's introduction, the economic status of the entire Borneo and even Nanyang gradually surfaced, which further proved the wisdom of Xiao Letian's previous strategy.
The presence of the Chinese in Nanyang did not happen overnight. Over the long years, the Chinese have controlled more than half of the wealth in Nanyang. The most heyday was the Lanfang Republic during the Qianlong period.
At that time, the Nanyang Chinese established their own country in Borneo without relying on their mother country or any external force, and submitted a letter to the Qing government hoping to join them. Whether it was in the name of a vassal state or an overseas province, these isolated Chinese hoped that their mother country would accept them. .
It is a pity that Qianlong did not recognize the efforts of these people, and he did not think that they were Chinese subjects. All Chinese who did not obey the orders of the Qing Dynasty were just rebels.
Without the support of the mother country, it will be difficult for small overseas countries to survive, but it is not impossible. After all, the Chinese are still much more civilized than the indigenous people.
But it is a pity that European colonists began to penetrate into Southeast Asia on a large scale. Portugal and the Netherlands were followed by Britain and France. These colonists combined with the easier-to-control natives to launch an attack on the Chinese.
This is the fundamental reason for the rapid decline of Chinese power in Nanyang.
The history of the development of the Nanyang Chinese is a history of suffering. To survive in the cracks, they can only survive in industries that Europeans are not willing to do and industries that the indigenous people do not know how to do.
Tin mining, rubber, agriculture, gold mining, spices and other industries all have Chinese presence, but it is a pity that the Chinese can only be the intermediate links.
The most profitable sales links are done by Europeans themselves, but the most difficult work of production, planting, organization and management is done by the Chinese. Of course, the Europeans also want to support some indigenous tribes to replace the Chinese. Unfortunately, the level of civilization is too low. It’s totally incomparable to compare with the Chinese.
"This is more embarrassing! Europeans are afraid that the Chinese will become bigger, but they cannot do without our management, and the indigenous people still have to cling to us to suck blood. This is the real economic pattern of Nanyang."
Fangdong sighed, "These aboriginal monkeys are not difficult to fight. They are not our opponents in a real battle. But don't forget that these people are tropical monkeys who can be used as soldiers or civilians. Their belief in life is to be hungry." To rob or to steal"
"We can't change their character even if we defeat them ten thousand times, and large-scale massacres will make Europeans very alert. In that case, how can we develop the economy?"
Fangdong sat up straight and said in a low voice, "Führer, on the surface, we have won this battle, but the food production in the Bailayi Reclamation Area, including all the Reclamation Areas in Borneo, has been delayed for half a year."
"Due to the war, large tracts of farmland were deserted, and the rice stocks were consumed rapidly. Now we can only survive until now by relying entirely on the assistance of Chinese from other areas."
"But how long can this kind of aid last? In the final analysis, we must resume production in the second half of the year so that the Balni province can be self-sufficient as the head of state said!"
"Now that the indigenous monkeys have been frightened, we should take the lead in restoring the economy. Once the rice planting industry is restored, not only will we have food and drink, but more indigenous people will come to work, so that they will eventually become dependent on us. , let them starve if they leave our economy, this is the ultimate solution to the indigenous problem!"
Xiao Letian was stunned, frowned and said, "Did you come up with these things?"
Fangdong nodded and shook his head, but Wu Haoran beside him rushed to say, "Senior brother believes in Buddhism. When he was in Naha, he often went to Nanshan Dizang Temple to worship Buddha. Where is it?"
oh! Xiao Letian waved his hand to tell him not to say anything. The answer was already coming out. Nanshan Jizo Temple was the temple where Ryoma Sakamoto stayed after he became a monk. It seems that this building is a disciple of the great monk Ryuushi! Regardless of whether the person is named or not, at least they have accepted the instructions.
"Very good. If you can explain such a point, I feel relieved about the situation in Borneo. In fact, my thoughts are similar to yours."
The rain had become much lighter at this moment. The day's heavy rain gradually stopped. In the night, the entire wilderness was filled with the light of torches and miner's lamps. Wang Chen led three rows of brothers to guard the head of state's station vigilantly, but his ears were perked up to listen. talking in the tent.
The wonderful analysis made Wang Chen forget about time and space and even the hunger in his stomach. It was not until a soft voice called him continuously that he woke up from his thoughts.
"Sir, sir! What are you thinking, sir?"
Wang Chen was suddenly awakened and looked up and was stunned. A beautiful woman wearing a raincoat and revealing her face was looking at him.
"The platoon leader said she wanted to meet the Führer. She said he was a graduate of Naha Normal University and wanted to give advice to the Führer!"
"Ah! Ah? Ah" Wang Chen couldn't turn around. He turned over his hand and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. "What are you talking about? It's really interesting that you are a woman who wants to see the head of state. Is the head of state something you can meet if you want? Even if you are Not even if you graduate from a normal university.”
Before Wang Chen finished speaking, he saw the woman's expression suddenly change, "Whether he sees or not is the head of state's business, whether he reports or not is your business, why are you so verbose?" After he finished speaking, he kicked Wang Chen directly on the foot.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, why are you kicking someone?" Wang Chen jumped on one leg in pain.
"Don't stop me. I know the head of state will only stay for 24 hours. The head of state will leave tomorrow morning. Get out of the way! Stop blocking me, the head of state! Prime Minister! I have something to report to you. I come to see you on behalf of all the women in Borneo!" I must see you”
There was such a noise outside, which immediately interrupted Xiao Letian's meeting. Especially when he heard that they were coming to see the head of state on behalf of all the women in Borneo, Xiao Letian scratched his nose subconsciously.
"I haven't harmed any women from Borneo, have I? I've slept with a lot of Fusang women, but I haven't slept with any women from Borneo. Why are you here?"
Upon hearing the voice, Fang Dong and Wu Haoran were stunned, "Huh? Isn't this Huang Wanxia? Our only female principal!"
"Head of the State, she is not an outsider, she is one of our own. She is a female college student who graduated from Ryukyu Normal University and volunteered to come to Borneo to engage in education!"
Xiao Letian nodded, "Then let her come in!"
Huang Wanxia came in from outside with a few female students. When she walked past Wang Chen, she glared at him. Only then did Wang Chen see an acquaintance.
The little tribal girl who cooked monkey soup also came with her, and smiled at Wang Chen as if thanking him for the gold coins.
Wang Chen rubbed the soles of his feet and said, "Which song is this song from? Could it be that this woman is here to ask the president for policy? Not just for education funds, right? It's possible, it's really possible."
