1811 Spying on the Heavenly Dao
Wang Chen couldn't help but set his eyes on the sea, he knew where the answer was, it was on the golden channel on the sea. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Bailayitun Reclamation Area is not simply a big farm, it is actually a part of the big granary of the Chinese people. Experts from the College of Agriculture specially designed a special bamboo barn for the Nanyang area, where the rice is not in direct contact with the earth but is set up in the air by bamboo poles, and then surrounded by bamboo mats and thatched roofs, forming large and small barns.
The space is well laid out, the air circulation is smooth, and the rice that the indigenous monkeys germinate in three or four months can be stored for more than half a year in this barn.
Don't think that half a year is a short time, half a year is low, and the Chinese merchant ship trade system can come in handy, and there are merchant ships in the port of Bailayi almost every day to transport these rice grains to the Qing Dynasty, and ship after ship in exchange for huge profits.
In the dry climate of the north, the storage time of rice is not as short as half a year, even if you hide it for three years, it just tastes worse and will not appear to be spoiled and germinated.
"I see, the key to solving the problem is not only in the agricultural civilization, but also in the support of a strong commercial civilization, which is the two wings of the swan waving at the same time to fly......
Wang Chen understood that there was nothing wrong with it, the indigenous tribes first did not have storage technology, the second did not have a strong commercial sales network, and the third was lazy, this kind of civilization was simply eliminated goods.
"Obediently, these idiots, why do you say you are robbing the farmland? Even if you grab it, can you take care of it? Have you digested the excess grain? Can you sell it? Just start a war for such a small profit? If you don't destroy the country, who will destroy the country!"
Wang Chen's epiphany basically explains the general image of the current operation of the Nanyang economy, and these native kingdoms belong to the lower civilizations in the eyes of Europeans and Chinese.
Civilization has high ground, and the civilization that exists in the primitive state of fishing, hunting and gathering cannot be the opponent of other advanced civilizations at all.
At present, in the South Seas, Europeans dominate the most lucrative industries, such as rubber, spices, gold mining...... There is also the management of port and sea routes.
Rubber, spices, gold, coffee, and other goods could be transported directly to Europe by sea for high profits, and the management of the seaports could collect a lot of taxes and provide military bases, which were the core interests of Europeans, especially the British.
But the Europeans never got involved in the grain industry in the South Seas, and even the more lucrative sugar, they did not interfere much because the sea transportation was too far away.
It's very simple to think about, people are profit-driven, the same investment, one business has a profit margin of 70% and another profit margin is more than twice as much, what do you say people will choose?
In the end, European businessmen chose the most profitable and profitable industries, while the grain, sugar, fruit, and other industries with relatively low profit points had no energy to control.
This gives Xiao Lotian a gap in penetration, Europeans are not willing to do rice business, but the Chinese are willing to do it, Chinese businessmen can endure the troubles, and are willing to make a long stream of business, plus when it comes to the rice business, it is necessary to expand the land, and the Chinese just like the land.
Under the guidance of Xiao Letian and the support of policies, the reclamation areas of Nanyang have sprung up everywhere, and all the strategic places have to be inserted by the Chinese as long as the Europeans have not occupied them.
First start in the form of lease, run for more than ten years, the population has immigrated enough, the money and grain reserves are abundant enough, and then you can find an opportunity to become independent, so that you have a port and land.
Gradually, two parallel lines appeared in the economy of the South Seas, one was the resource trade and trade route management controlled by European merchants, which was the largest transaction, and the precious metals and various natural resources of the South Seas were transported back to Europe, in exchange for shipwloads of dumped industrial goods.
The second line is controlled by Chinese merchants, the grain and land business circle, mainly involved in other industries in grain trade, and the ultimate goal is land.
Xiao Lotian is ambitious but absolutely not arrogant, he knows that in the case of his own strength, he must not challenge the interests of the British, on the contrary, he has to protect the interests of the British for the time being, which is used to paralyze the enemy.
In the nineteenth century, humanity did not reach the point of deep colonization, and the British empire only controlled important ports and cities, and the huge territory on the map did not mean that they could really take root in the administrative system.
There are still too many lands that are nominally European colonies, but in fact they are still managed by the local natives themselves, and the Chinese infiltrate these places, as long as they do not grab the core assets of the big noses, this will not cause too many disputes.
"I see...... I see!" Wang Chen suddenly felt that his mouth was a little dry, very thirsty, which was a stress reaction after extreme nervousness in his heart.
For ordinary people, the real appearance of this world is not visible, but today Wang Chen climbed a ladder by chance, and his eyes showed outside the fence wall, and he finally saw a corner of this world.
It was an ethereal spectacle that was difficult to describe, he seemed to open the perspective of God, and the entire map of Nanyang became real at once, and it was like flying 10,000 meters in a hot air balloon, and the topography of Nanyang was like a view of the text in the palm of his hand.
The Führer's strategy was deduced on the land as if it were alive, and the Chinese reclamation areas were blooming everywhere, quietly hoarding power on the periphery of the British's power.
Backward kingdoms and tribes were annexed one by one, lower civilizations were merged with higher civilizations, and the Chinese people, who were disdained by Europeans, were willing to take over, and the era of deep economic colonization had begun.
"Platoon commander...... Platoon leader...... What are you thinking, you've been in a daze for ten minutes......"
"Ahhhh......h
He looked at the terrified indigenous women and children, then at the little girl who could speak Chinese and nodded, "Thank you! Protect yourselves, after this war, you should submit to our Chinese people, this is the only way for your backward civilization to survive......"
After speaking, Wang Chen took out five silver coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the little girl's hand, "The war will end soon...... If you bear with me, you'll have endless rice to eat when the war is over, trust me!"
"Gone, brothers! I can only understand today why the Führer is fighting...... Without us Chinese leading them, these indigenous peoples would never have progressed!"
"Killing is just to make them better! Today I know what kind of bodhisattva heart the Führer really is! Go forward, all the way to the east......
