A thousand years of achievements! A thousand years of achievements!
Xiang Shaolong raised his head high and looked at the sky. He suppressed the tears of excitement from falling. He felt embarrassed!
Today's Long Ye is no longer a simple tycoon, he has understood many high-level national strategies!
If a nation or a country wants to be safe, it must maintain a posture of continuous expansion!
They want to create circles of strategic buffers outside their core wealth circle. Those who have this kind of thinking are called strategic masters!
People are eager for comfort. Who doesn’t want to live in a land of plenty? Who doesn't like to live in a city where wealth is developed?
Where is the wealth created by your Han people? In Jiangnan, in the Central Plains, in the Grand Canal Economic Belt and the Yangtze River Economic Belt!
In the middle of the city circle in the Central Plains!
Everyone wants to live a peaceful and happy life here, but who wants to live in the uninhabited land thousands of miles away on the Mongolian grassland? The northwest desert is endless and there is not even drinking water.
The Tibetan Plateau makes even plain people unable to breathe!
The wealth produced in these places is very little, but it needs a lot of replenishment from the Central Plains Wealth Circle! This looks like a losing business!
But that's just the thinking of short-sighted people. Real strategists don't dare to think about problems like this!
Zhongyuan Wealth Circle is very good, do you like it very much? Don’t the aliens from this bitter cold land not like it? Dislike the bandits of distant Europa?
It's impossible to live your own life behind closed doors without seeing the outside world. That's very dangerous!
Because robbers will come to rob you! In particular, China is extremely short of strategic locations for raising horses, so the strategic mobile cavalry has been relatively expensive since ancient times!
There is no cavalry to fight against the cavalry, so a certain strategic buffer is needed at this time!
In fact, it’s not just cavalry. After the emergence of tank corps in later generations, a strong strategic buffer zone will also be very important!
Once the enemy sneaks up on you, a day and a night have passed before they reach your core economic zone. This time will give you ample time to mobilize your troops and resources.
Concentrate the war into these strategic buffer zones to fight it. Anyway, it is a poor place and you are not afraid of being destroyed. This is the most brilliant strategy!
According to Xiao Letian's blueprint for the future Chinese territory, the land in the Far East still needs to exist as a strategic buffer zone. Time is tight and the tasks are heavy. The Chinese's current resources can only be used in coastal areas such as Jiangnan and Nanyang.
The remaining money must be invested in the research of new technologies!
In the future, the economic entities of the Far East will still be very traditional, focusing on the export of resources, such as timber, coal, mineral deposits, including agriculture and animal husbandry, etc.!
It's not that Xiao Letian doesn't want to develop this place well. The key is that every task has its own priorities. He can only overcome the most important strategic problems first, and only when the Chinese are truly safe and can compete with the British and Americans, will he finally make large-scale investments in the Far East. Woolen cloth!
Why can Xiang Shaolong be crowned king? Why can the Far East become a monarchy with a strong feudal flavor?
Look at Borneo, which is a Union Republic, while the Far East is a Union Monarchy!
Why is this happening? In fact, they are different choices made due to different strategic positions!
A king in the Far East will not be able to mobilize as much resources and wealth as a minister in Borneo. This is not because the people are not good enough, nor because they do not work hard. The key is the natural environment and geographical location.
Nanyang is an area with busy trade routes, and the main shipping routes in Europe and Asia pass through it. How can we not be rich?
It is unjustifiable to let Xiang Shaolong guard the bitter cold land without being crowned king. This is an unworthy subsidy for him!
As for the wealthy land in the south, do you think Xiao Letian will be crowned king? He himself has completely rejected the constitutional monarchy and is just a head of state. Why is he still claiming the title of king?
Everyone thinks that Xiang Shaolong has taken a big advantage, but Xiao Letian knows very well that according to the Chinese plan in ten or twenty years, the economic scale of Nanyang will be more than 10,000 times that of the Far East!
"I'm sorry! Mr. Long, I'm actually sending you to guard the border... I'm sorry for you!"
Mr. Long didn't like hearing what Xiao Letian said. "Head of State! What are you talking about? It can become a strategic buffer zone for the Chinese in the north and help the Chinese block the Rakshasa ghosts for hundreds of years!"
"This is a long-lasting achievement! You have made a great contribution to leaving my name in history!"
"You underestimate me too much. Am I, Xiang Shaolong, a man who seeks wealth? I am already content with the wealth I have right now! This is not a chore, this is because the head of state loves me!"
Xiao Letian patted Mr. Long on the shoulder, "No more, no more...it's all in the wine. I got drunk at night!"
Mr. Long nodded and turned to the old shopkeeper and said, "You have more important things here. I won't take this time. You can talk about the rest!"
Fan Qian's face turned slightly red and he said to his uncle, "This is not the place to talk. There is a duty room for workers over there. Let's talk there..."
A group of people walked towards a row of small houses on the dock. This was a temporary resting place for the workers on duty. It had just been cleaned to allow these nobles to rest temporarily.
When Xiao Letian walked into the room, he saw that they were all acquaintances. Sister Wu saluted him inside, red-top businessman Hu Xueyan was also there, and Liu Hengzhen, the supervisory chairman of Jiangnan Stock Market and a great investor, also came.
"Hey, you guys just lost your work and came here? Hahaha... aren't you afraid of trouble in Jiangnan?"
Xiao Letian was joking, but the people around him looked embarrassed. The old shopkeeper sighed, "Bring the people here!"
Two soldiers escorted a middle-aged man from the next room and knelt down in front of Xiao Letian with a thud.
Xiao Letian took a closer look, "Huh? You... you are not that Zhang... Zhang..."
"Zhang Xiaowen! He was Hu Xueyan's subordinate back then. Later, I saw that he was very capable, so I absorbed him into our Chinese clan!"
Hu Xueyan's face turned red, "The head of state... these are indeed the men I used. I deserve death for my crime!"
Xiao Letian was stunned and immediately matched the information in his memory. "Ah... So that's it. Did you find out the mastermind behind the attempted financial crisis?"
Everyone nodded silently, "Yes... the mastermind behind the Jiangnan financial crisis that almost broke out... was him!"
Zhang Xiaowen knelt on the ground with a face ashen as dirt, "I'm not going to live any longer anyway. I don't need to be interrogated by the head of state. I'll just say whatever I have to say..."
"Before the head of state returned home, news of the victory in the Franco-Prussian War and the news of the Frankfurt Treaty reparations had been sent back to the country through telegrams and newspapers!"
"It was also at that time that I discovered a change in the market! This was obviously great news to stimulate the stock market, but the major markets in Jiangnan reacted very cautiously!"
