"Eating humans is worse than animals!"
"It's better to defeat the barbarians who are so stubborn and arrogant!"
"Virtue is used to soften China, and punishment is used to intimidate the foreign barbarians. The barbarians preyed on our Han people. They have committed a heinous crime. We should raise an army to hold them accountable!"
"The savages are not engaged in production and have no knowledge of propriety, justice and shame. How have they got the right to steal our inherent Chinese land?"
"If you are born like a wolf, how can you be a human being? You should get rid of it quickly!"
"In my old opinion, there is no need to do this. The sage said, "Although we are barbarians, we cannot abandon them." Scholars must be ambitious. We are all the children of the sage. We should teach the savages on the island some etiquette and change their customs. , become a real person. "
"What Zhou Lao said is reasonable. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said, "Barbarians and Di are also human beings." Since they live in our Chinese land, we do have the obligation to teach them to be good. "
"I didn't expect that such a large area of land is still barbaric. I feel deeply saddened by this. We will continue the saint's legacy and educate them together."
"The island of Liuqiu is separated by the vast sea, which separates China from the outside world. The classics cannot be reached, and the teachings cannot be reached. Therefore, they are barbaric. It is up to us to teach them both!"
"Everything in the world is the king's land, and the shores of the land are all the king's ministers, and Ryuqiu Island should not be an exception!"
A group of red-eyed gentry expressed their opinions in a flurry of words. They seemed to have different opinions and even disputes, but the core meaning was actually the same.
This piece of fat must be swallowed!
"Cough!" Zhao Mengqi gave a fake cough, making everyone gradually quiet down.
"Whether it is gentleness or education, communication must first occur. However, the people on the island were in a period of ignorance, wild and ferocious, and basically unable to communicate. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for nearly a thousand years. The Han people have not been able to gain a foothold on the island, so they want to open up. Liuqiu, force is necessary."
Some gentry said eagerly, "With only a group of peasants on our side, we can dispatch an army of 10,000 people. It will take at most four or five months to clear out the entire island, and we can start pioneering and planting in the spring of next year!"
"You are thinking too simply." Zhao Mengqi shook his finger, "First of all, where did this army come from? The entire Fujian Road can't even muster an army of 10,000 capable of fighting."
"Secondly, although the weapons are primitive, the Irving Islands are still capable of fighting, and most of them live in hilly jungles. They cannot be cleaned up in one go. A large number of troops need to be stationed on the island to carry out security operations."
"Thirdly, sending troops will cost a huge amount of money and food. Not to mention that the imperial court is extremely poor now. Even if they have money, why would they only open up for us if they send troops to attack Liuqiu?"
"Fourth, this is a cross-sea crossing, which requires a huge shipping capacity. Moreover, the southeastern sea is not peaceful and pirates often appear, so there must be sufficient naval strength."
"fifth……"
The gentry were a little dizzy after hearing this. They felt that these difficulties were indeed very difficult, but the foreseeable huge benefits made them unwilling to give up.
"Your Highness, we take it for granted. This matter does require long-term consideration, but Your Highness must have already made some assumptions. Why not make it clear directly? We will give our full support!"
"Yes, yes, your highness must have a perfect plan. There is no need for us to worry about it."
"Your Highness, just do what you want, we all listen to you."
Zhao Mengqi smiled and said, "Then I will share my thoughts with everyone. If there is something wrong, please point it out."
"To develop such a large island, it is not possible to work alone and manage it fragmented. We must gather strength and coordinate the steps. Therefore, I plan to establish Liuqiu Development Company."
"The ownership structure is still like that of a sugar company, so the court will support this matter."
"It is even more difficult to develop the Taihu Lake management project. Therefore, I plan to develop the company with a total investment of 60 million guan. I will invest 10 million guan on behalf of the royal family, advance 10 million guan for the court, and issue 400,000 shares for the other 40 million guan." , and the capital will be increased later depending on the situation.”
"In principle, the entire Liuqiu land use rights belong to the development company, which is equivalent to buying at least 10 million acres of land for 60 million yuan. This business is still very cost-effective."
"Then, the lonely general suggested to the court that in order to cooperate with Liuqiu's development, a new army on the sea and one on the land should be established, but the development company would bear all the expenses. Of course, these two new armies are mainly for
In order to maintain public security in the future, the imperial court will still need to send a large army to stabilize the situation on the island in the early stage. The costs will naturally be borne by the development company. In other words, the development company will rent the imperial army. "
Lend-lease troops? Is this okay?
This His Highness is really eye-opening, but I have to admit that this is a clever idea. After all, the court will definitely not allow private armies, and there is no reason for the army to work in vain for private interests.
And it seems that only by following Yanwang's model can the development company legitimately monopolize the flow and seek benefits.
Of course, it is also because the court and the royal family are the major shareholders of the development company, and King Yan is still the crown prince, that this whimsical plan is possible. If anyone dares to mention this idea, the court will definitely suspect that you are planning to rebel.
After figuring out the reasoning behind it, the gentry expressed their support one after another.
However, Zhao Mengqi had a deeper intention, which they could not imagine.
Zhao Mengqi's long-standing plan was to abandon the existing military system and establish a new army, just like his Dongwei pro-army, but just one Dongwei would definitely not be able to meet his requirements, so he came up with this plan.
It's great to use the development company's money to build your own elite direct-affiliated armed forces. When the time comes, you can pull out the elite and fill in the dismantled old army, and solve part of the placement problem. It's simply the best of both worlds.
Next, Zhao Mengqi talked about the operation of the development company and the general steps for the development of Qiuqiu. The gentry thought about it and discussed it, and they felt more and more feasible.
However, some people have discovered the problem, "Your Highness, Liuqiu has indeed solved the problem of raw materials. It is very possible to produce tens of millions of kilograms in the future, but I am afraid that one kilogram will not be able to sell that much..."
That's right, tens of millions of kilograms is tens of millions of guan. The imperial court could not collect so much in taxes. After all, the majority of people in the Song Dynasty were poor. Even though there were many rich people, they couldn't eat sugar as food.
Although everyone loves to eat sugar, sugar is not a necessity. If it is produced but cannot be sold, it is not a treasure but a waste.
The gentry woke up with a start, feeling chilled, and all their eyes were focused on Zhao Mengqi.
Zhao Mengqi, however, remained calm and said, "Don't panic. I'll do the math for you first. Nowadays, one acre of high-quality paddy field can be cultivated twice a year, and only three kilos of rice can be produced. However, sugarcane only requires dry land, and farming does not need to be so precise." , the yield per mu is at least three to four thousand kilograms, and the sugar output is three to four hundred kilograms, which is equivalent to the yield of rice. However, no matter how cheap the sugar is, it cannot be cheaper than rice."
In later generations, the yield of sugarcane per mu could reach four to five tons, and the sugar yield rate was more than 15%. At this time, the varieties were poor, but the yield mentioned by Zhao Mengqi was absolutely no problem.
At this time, prices in the Song Dynasty were soaring. In normal times, rice cost about ten cents per pound, and jaggery cost between sixty and one hundred cents per pound. Even if the sugar production increased and dropped to the price of jaggery, it would still be a huge profit.
The gentry thought about it carefully and found that although they did not know the true sugar yield and production cost of snow sugar, they were definitely profitable, but they just did not make that much, so they were a little relieved.
Some people also said, "The worst thing we can do is produce less. Anyway, it would be good to use the land in Liuqiu to grow other things..."
Zhao Mengqi shook his head and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. If you can produce more, you must produce more. Although coins can buy any goods, coins themselves are not considered wealth. Only the materials produced are considered wealth. From the perspective of the entire world, Naturally, the more products, the better. The purpose of our business is to make money, but we must also have a sense of social responsibility."
The gentleman was ashamed and said, "Your Highness is right in teaching me, but I am being shallow."
"And there is no way to make money. Our Song Dynasty has a population of 670 million, which is the largest market in the world. Even if each person consumes one pound of snow sugar, it is enough for us to work hard to produce. But what should we do if many poor people cannot afford it? ?」
"One is to lower prices appropriately, and the other is to make poor people richer."
"Some people may think this method is ridiculous, but everyone has to understand that the people of China are the most hard-working and hard-working people in the world. The value they produce is far more than what they consume. However, due to various oppressions, their production capacity has been reduced. declined, causing the entire Song Dynasty’s properties to
reduce. "
"So Gu Yi once again elaborated that we need to reduce the burden on the people and resume production. When they have the ability to consume, we can still make a lot of money through products such as snow sugar. This method of obtaining wealth does not have to be cruel and sophisticated. A hundred times better, if you are good to me, the world will be good, and everyone will be happy."
"The truth here is not complicated. You can think about it yourself. In addition, we cannot just focus on the Song Dynasty. You must know that even in other countries and other ethnic groups, few people in the world can resist the sweet taste. Temptation, Mongolians, Persians, Nanyangs, Koreans, Japanese, no matter who they are, as long as we place our snow candy in front of them, how many of them will not want to eat it?"
"The Mongols are at war with us, but sugar is not a necessity, nor can it increase their combat effectiveness, so it does not prevent us from selling it to them. We may also be able to exchange it for war horses and other things we need from them. Of course, this part needs It will be done under the supervision of the imperial court and will be discussed later.”
"The other ones are Japan and Goryeo. These two countries have a long history of trade with us, but it has become sparse in recent years. In addition to the influence of the Mongols, it is mainly due to the reduction of our products, which cannot meet the demand for trade. Now the Japanese people come to the Song Dynasty just to buy our copper coins. This is nothing. To a certain extent, if other countries like to use the money of the Song Dynasty, it will be a good thing for the Song Dynasty, but our copper coins are not enough. Now it costs more than ten times to mint a penny, which makes it a loss-making business."
"But now that we have snow sugar, we can restart trade. Although Goryeo and Japan are backward and cannot produce anything good, they still have what we need, especially Japan, wood, copper ore, gold and silver, especially Japan. Regarding gold and silver, I have only reliable information. I know of several large-scale mining sites that have not yet been mined. It is conservatively estimated that one thousand kilograms of gold and eighty thousand kilograms of silver can be mined every year from just one of them!"
Mother!
Isn’t this the real golden mountain and silver sea?
Niang Xipi, why did such a good place go to those dwarfs?
Grab it! Be sure to grab it!
The eyes of the gentlemen shone again, with gold on one side and silver on the other.
Zhao Mengqi saw the meaning in the gentry's eyes and couldn't help but rub his nose, "We are civilized people, we must have style!"
"I plan to inform the Japanese about the mine site and let them dig it by themselves. If the technology is not good enough, then we can teach them. At most, it will be cooperative mining. As for how they use labor and so on, it is their own business. As long as we use Just exchange the goods, porcelain, silk, sugar candies, etc."
"However, the sea route is difficult and dangerous, and the fragmented and free-style trade in the past was too inefficient. Therefore, I plan to establish a Donghai Trading Company to take charge of this matter. According to the Sugar Company, I will issue 100,000 shares!"
Well, another way to make a fortune!
Although King Yan said it simply, he didn't need to say too much about the trade between Song and Japan. Everyone knew the gold content in it, not to mention that Japan still had real gold and silver.
How come His Highness Prince Yan is so miraculous that he can throw out so many golden avenues at will? Compared with this, his previous methods of making money are simply inferior to scum.
Could he be the reincarnation of the God of Wealth?
It doesn't seem impossible, after all, the God of Wealth is also named Zhao.
In fact, it would be more appropriate to call him the King of Wealth.
The gentry looked at Zhao Mengqi with awe and surprise, but also with burning joy, which made Zhao Mengqi feel a little tight...
At this time, some people began to have difficulties. They suddenly didn’t know which company’s stock to buy. After all, it may take three to five years for all three companies to start making profits, but they have huge potential. As long as they succeed, they can really count on it. Money.
Those who can be invited here are all wealthy people, with at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in property. However, most of the money has been used to buy the land certificates, and there is not much left on hand.
But the three companies in front of them are a cornucopia, and everyone wants to buy more, so many people have vague plans to sell off other properties.
The three companies have a total of only 600,000 shares, a total of 60 million yuan, which seems like a lot, but there are also many rich people in Song Dynasty. If
When local tycoons from other places hear the news, they will definitely come to take part. It is not known whether it will be too late to sell off the property.
The gentry became a little anxious.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. Want to see the latest chapter content,
He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
