The rejuvenation of China is easier said than done, but it is very difficult, and if such a grand goal is to be achieved, then it is far from enough to run Pattani.

This place faces the sea on both sides, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and more importantly, the land is far from being as fertile as Ye Kai originally imagined.

Pattani is really not a good place to farm, often a heavy rain can wash away the fertile floating soil on the ground, and a few storms can make you lose your grain.

The land along the Tani River is indeed fertile, but it is limited to here, and if you count the whole of Pattani, the grain production is estimated to be only comparable to that of Guizhou today.

Most of the Malays living here rely on tropical fruits such as mangoes and bananas to survive, can the Chinese do it? If that's the case, what's the difference between it and a monkey?

What's more, there is a very serious problem in Pattani, that is, there is a serious shortage of women, and those who go to Nanyang are mostly singles who go to Nanyang, even if they are not singles, they are also single to Nanyang, and their wives and children are placed in mainland homes, and only after they are developed will they take their families over to enjoy happiness.

Even the Ye family, which has been rooted in the local area for one or two hundred years, has more men and fewer women, and the singles in the clan have grabbed a lot of them, and the people from the mainland who have been attracted over the years are basically men and no women.

In the north, the Qing Dynasty is similar, the world has been peaceful for more than a hundred years, and although the population has experienced explosive growth, the population structure can still scare future generations.

According to the rough statistics of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, due to the tradition of drowning female babies in many places, among the population of nearly 400 million, there are at least 40 million more men than women.

So much so that more than ten years later, the Sichuan-Chu White Lotus Rebellion was nicknamed the Singles Rebellion by later generations, which affected more than a dozen provinces, and was barely suppressed after spending tens of thousands of taels of military spending, and after at least more than 60 million strong men lost their lives, the population structure began to be reasonable, and the Qing Dynasty tended to stabilize slightly.

The Qing Dynasty was like this, and Nanyang was even more terrifying, as far as Ye Kai knew, out of every five people, at least three and a half were singles, which was terrifying to think about!

Chinese have always been family-oriented, no wife and children have no home, if there is no home, people come to earn money and pat their ass and return home to marry their wives, who will build a country with you?

Even if they are willing to stay in Pattani and not leave, what is the use? A group of big bachelors engaged in industrialization by planting rice and picking bananas?

Even if Ye Kai is brainless, he doesn't think that this can complete the primitive accumulation and industrialization.

The later generations of Nanyang countries are worse than the other, none of them have completed real industrialization, the better Malaysia and Thailand have been falling into the middle-income trap and can't get out, Singapore is completely a commercial country, so there will be absolutely no way out in Pattani!

To solve this problem, first, it is necessary to be able to export one or several fist industries, so that a certain amount of primitive accumulation can be carried out.

The European white skin is completed by robbery, Ye Kai doesn't have that capital, but fortunately, he is a traverser, and he has already thought of several golden fingers that can be opened, and he can only test it when he arrives in the big day.

The second is the relatively sufficient food needed for industrialization, and to solve the problem of singles among the Chinese, Ye Kai thinks about it, and only Vietnam can solve it.

In terms of output, whether it is the Red River Delta in the north or the Kowloon River Plain in the Mekong Delta in the south, Vietnam is a rich land of grain and can provide abundant products.

At the same time, for the Chinese in Nanyang, when they can't marry a Chinese wife from the mainland, Vietnamese women are definitely the perfect substitute!

Their surnames are the same as those of the Chinese, and their living customs are probably more suitable for the southern Han people, who are mainly from Liangguang, than the Han people in the north!

Deeply influenced by Confucian culture, Vietnamese women are hard-working, they serve their in-laws, take care of the eldest children, and can do anything in farming and labor.

Only when Ye Kai holds the future wife of the Nanyang Chinese in his hand can these people unite around him willingly, and in the future, he will support Ye Kai with a wife, and if he doesn't support it, he will be singled!

Therefore, Ye Kai sighed, at present, it is still necessary to focus on Vietnam, Pattani and other places are in the future, and Vietnam is now, without the support of Vietnam as a stable base, it is completely a dream to rely on more than 100,000 people to farm and industrialize in Pattani!

And there is one of the most important reasons, that is, the current Annan Kingdom actually belongs to the Chinese cultural circle, and he, like North Korea, is a Confucian country recognized by the Qing government, whether Ye Kai wants to deal with the Qing government, or suck blood from the Qing government, or even recover the Central Plains in the future, he needs the tiger skin of Vietnam.

In the future, if Ye Kai goes to my Daqing in the name of the Ye family in the north year, the old man will definitely not bird him, and maybe he will arrest him, a dishonest minor!

But if Ye Kai goes as the king of Annan, the old man will definitely eat and drink well to entertain him, and if he lowers his posture, he can get a lot of preferential treatment.

As for the recovery of the Central Plains in the future, this identity is even more important, Ye Kai doesn't want to be regarded as a foreign invader by the majority of Han people when he enters the Central Plains north, and he is regarded as a barbarian!

If you want to avoid it, then a descendant of Shaowu Tianzi and the identity of the king of Annam in Confucian culture is a must.

Thinking of this, Ye Kai changed his face, he looked at his cheap father Ye Fulai with a righteous face, and said with a straight face: "Father, since we have made a marriage contract with the Ruan family, how can we easily go back on it?" Although His Majesty the First King has long grace for us, how can we turn our backs on the Nguyen family because of this little benefit? ”

"Huh?" Ye Fulai's mouth opened wide, he looked at his son's righteous and awe-inspiring face, and really wanted to slap it!

Did Lao Tzu say that he would break the marriage contract or something?

Seems to have just sighed, right?

Thinking that Ye Kai was now a noble guess Luan, Ye Fulai couldn't help but not raise his hand!

Seeing that Ye Fulai's face was not very good, Ye Kai touched his nose, he also felt that he seemed to be too righteous just now, so he turned his head away and quickly changed the topic.

"Father, haven't you ever thought about getting a crown to wear? You and your grandfather have done so much for the Ye family, are you going to give away the family business that you and your grandfather have worked so hard to build just because I married a Vietnamese woman? ”

Ye Fulai paused for a moment, and was really attracted by Ye Kai's words, a crown, Ye Fulai really thought about it.

Before his father Ye Longxin became the patriarch, the Pettani Ye family was not a Pattani family at all, but it was just barely ranked on the Malay Peninsula, otherwise it would not have developed for more than a hundred years and there were only so many tens of thousands of people.

The Ye family can have the current scale, because his father Ye Longxin, who used his small treasury and ingenuity to bring the Ye family to its current status step by step.

The Ye family's current pillar businesses, including the Longsheng and Tangliao, were all established by Ye Longxin, and the Ye family's clan soldiers were also promoted by Ye Longxin.

Without these 2,000 soldiers, how could they have taken so much ripe land from the Malay natives? How can you get the Dutch and the Britons to look at each other?

As a loyal fan of his father, Ye Fulai does not have the same majesty and strategy as Ye Longxin, but he is a very qualified 'king of success'!

He firmly implemented his father Ye Longxin's various initiatives, and the Ye family of the Northern American Year has gradually reached its current scale, it can be said that Ye Fulai's feelings for the Ye family of the Northern American are much deeper than those for Ye Kai!

His biggest heart problem now is that he does not have a suitable grandson to inherit the position of the patriarch of the Ye family, and what he is most afraid of is that once he has three longs and two shorts, the Ye family will fall into the hands of others.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Fulai glanced at Ye Kai deeply, "Think!" Why don't you want to, Lao Tzu has thought about it since he was a teenager, and he thinks that he is almost forty years old now, but this road is too difficult, there are unquiet inside, and there are Xiyi natives outside, it is difficult! ”

Ye Kai smiled, as long as you have this thought, you are afraid to take this step, "Father, don't worry, my son has a way!" ”
