In the hot summer season, people think that Nanyang will be very warm and comfortable, but they are wrong. Summer in Borneo is really not a place suitable for human survival!
Typhoon, rain and continuous humid air! When a person survives in this environment, every breath he takes feels like he is drowning!
The Parliament Building of Borneo... which is also the temporary residence of the head of state. The location of the building is still very good. It is on the top of a coastal hillside. The sea breeze can blow through clearly and the humidity here is bearable!
But Xiao Letian understood that the people living in Borneo at the moment did not have such good conditions. They had to weed and plant rice in the rice fields filled with moisture, and cut trees and mine in the miasma-filled forests!
In the endless rubber forest, every drainage ditch needs to be renovated!
The Han people actually don't like such an environment. They still like the Central Plains with its distinct four seasons, but they are also the most patient and can endure even the most cruel environment in order to survive!
With the salty sea breeze blowing, Xiao Letian gulped down the dehumidifying red bean soup. All the buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned. The sea breeze blew against his chest with eight-pack abs. Even the slightest coolness could not suppress his inner fire. !
"Remember! Don't believe the promises made by politicians, even the treaties written in black and white can actually be overturned!"
"This kid Zai Chun really thinks he is filial? When faced with national interests, promises are nothing but farts!"
After all, Zai Chun cannot be kept. He is the emperor of the Qing Empire. Even if Xiao Letian treats him as his son, this son will return to his own home sooner or later!
Emperor Tongzhi is destined to consider the interests of his own family!
"The fortress plan requires land, and what we need are treaty ports... What we have to do is to use fortresses to set up sites on the land of China, and use railways and waterways to connect these fortresses into a large network!"
"In this grid, all mineral deposits, resources, population...including the most important market! Will be the fuel for the industrial development of our Chinese nation!"
"We need coal, iron and wood, we need non-ferrous metals, gold and silver, and we need a huge Chinese population that is smart, knows how to endure, and knows how to build!"
"The current population of more than 10 million Chinese people is not enough. It is far from enough. It cannot support a huge country at all!"
“It won’t work if we can’t develop strategic depth!”
"We can see this, and so can Zaichun and his courtiers! So this little brat will definitely regret it, and he will definitely treat the secret agreement as toilet paper!"
"What Cai Bixia has to do is to use the situation to oppress him and let him know that unless he cooperates with the Chinese, his reform plan will never succeed!"
"Haha... Do you really think he can carry out the industrialization of the Qing Empire easily? Don't forget that he is a disciple taught by me. I can help him build a platform, and I can also help him tear it down!"
"There is no country at all, not even the most basic coastal defense, and you still want to challenge the maritime power country? Even if he can import these equipment from Europa, I can still stop him at sea. I can detain him for as many years as I want. !”
Xiang Ying stood aside respectfully, "Yes! Yes! The current situation is actually very simple. We don't need to put too much pressure on him, Zai Chun will definitely bow his head!"
"Because the head of state has already pulled this off! He used an upright conspiracy!"
"Even if we don't use military means to choke his neck, the waiting time is enough for Zai Chun to go crazy... Why should we use evil methods to provoke people to scold him?"
"Master... I still have some connections in Prussia. After all, Mr. Shi Yi and Fangguan have been operating there for many years, and I have also experienced some..."
"As long as the head of state gives the order, I will naturally let Zaichun and his friends be dragged down for various bizarre reasons for their order... He wants the equipment to be in place in three years?"
"Haha...I'm afraid I'll delay him for five, six or even eight years! No child can tolerate such an irritable temper!"
Xiao Letian waved his hand, "Don't do this! Don't do too much dirty work on your hands at a young age! You have to consider your political reputation!"
"Don't laugh at Zai Chun! You and he are the same. Do you think you are not impatient? You are just a few years older than him, so you are just a little calmer!"
"You are all the same, you are all impatient, and you will suffer sooner or later!"
Xiang Ying was not angry either. He smiled like a fool and said, "Isn't impatience forced by the master? Who asked you to let us see the truth of this world?"
"It was you who cultivated our strategic thinking and God's perspective. It was you who made us think about the development and destiny of mankind hundreds of years from now!"
"You also made us understand that there will be a devil called an arms race in the future! You let us see hell, do you still hope that we will remain indifferent as water?"
Xiang Ying lowered his head, "Master... especially the world war you mentioned... is it really inevitable?"
"Of course!" Xiao Letian said categorically, "It is inevitable, absolutely inevitable! War is a necessity in the development of European civilization!"
"Have you read all the books on Capital that I asked you to read in vain?"
“Capital needs to increase in value, but under the premise of extremely improved productivity, there is no way to achieve a fair distribution of wealth for all the people!”
"One day, there will be a serious inversion between productivity and the market that digests productivity. This is overproduction... You can't understand this kind of thing now, because we Chinese have just started, and everything is in a situation where demand exceeds supply!"
"These Chinese businessmen can sell almost as much as they produce. The huge Central Plains market seems to be endless and never seems to be filled!"
"Don't be deceived by this illusion. This is not the norm. Sooner or later, our productivity will be excessive... We will also one day go out of Asia to seize more raw material bases and dumping markets!"
"After all, these are the main principles of doing business, the cheapest raw materials, the highest selling price, and then expanding productivity to increase scale and reduce costs!"
“If you do these things, you will be left with huge profits!”
"Everyone thinks so, so they will all go this way... When the raw material base and the market have been robbed and drained... what should we do? What do you think we should do?"
Xiang Ying lowered his head and said sadly, "Then...then there is only war, because war is the most important business. It can absorb a large amount of productivity, produce murderous weapons, and then blow up with a bang!"
"Weapons are commodities that are worthy of mass production and can be destroyed on the battlefield in a short period of time... just like a porcelain boss always hopes that the customer's plates will be broken, because you will only buy new ones if they are broken!"
"This is the only way... to use war to absorb excess productivity, and to use destruction to replace the normal damage rate of human use..."
"I understand... the capitalist system will only be like this in the future. This is a deadlock that cannot be untied!"
