Chapter 276 Rubber Raw Materials

Chen Zijian asked, "Students, do any of you know what the world is like?" ”

The first question made all the students speechless, Chen Zijian knew the ignorance of the students, not to mention them, even no one knew about the Ming Dynasty, Chen Zijian asked it, it was difficult for them.

The students at the bottom looked at each other, they have lived for more than ten years, the area they live in is very small, at most they have heard a little outside news from the nearby county town from their parents, what is the world like! There is no concept.

In the first lesson for the students, Chen Zijian went on to talk about the overall size of the earth, which he had told the volunteers before, and Chen Zijian was familiar with the road again. The students below listened attentively, listening to things they had never heard before.

Forty minutes later, Chen Zijian finished the class on time and gave the students a lecture on the geography of the earth, so that they could know their approximate location, located in a small place in a lower-level county in the eastern province of Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty.

Leaving a group of unfinished students, Chen Zijian was very irresponsible and slipped away, the course was endless, today's purpose is mainly to let students and parents know Chen Zijian, the goal can be achieved, and it is now the holiday period, it is not good to occupy students' time.

Chen Zijian said, "Each student has a set of textbooks for the first year of junior high school, go back and read it slowly during this time, preview it in advance, and come to explain it after the New Year, remember to work hard, everything you have depends on your efforts, whether you can be promoted and make a fortune in the future, the opportunity is in your hands." Class! ”

All the students stood up and sent Chan off.

For the rapid development of Zhangjiacheng, Chen Zijian can only do the general direction well, small problems are solved by simple and tough means, more than ninety percent of the population of Zhangjiacheng comes from other places, is it possible to expect them to have no problems?

For example, the brawl incident, there have been hundreds of brawls in the past six months, in the middle of the period because of the large group of fights in front of Chen Zijian, there are more than ten cases, among which the dead are not uncommon to bleed, don't think that the people of eastern Guangdong are good people, since ancient times, the fights and brawls in the two regions will not be less than those in the north, for the fights and brawls, the way to deal with them is very simple, regardless of the rights and wrongs of both sides, all the people involved in the two parties are arrested, and they are left in the mining area to do things for three months, and then ask the reason for the fight during this time, That's right, the party can get out of the way in three months, and if you deliberately have nothing to do and fight, it is a heavier punishment, and you don't expect to leave for a year.

If one of them is dead, the matter will be a big deal, this life is over, stay in the mining area for the rest of your life!

Of course, those people beat them up, but they didn't dare to do anything to the police. After the police go out of the police, it is usually very quick to fight and suppress both sides, the reason is, of course, the big stick that Zhangjiacheng began to leave for the people, resisting the police arrest in Zhangjiacheng, that is to kill people, that's right, the police arrest people with guns and knives or something, that person dares to resist and will not show mercy, after this half a year of forced integration, all kinds of incidents have decreased in recent times.

Those who had troublemakers were almost caught in the mining area, and the rest of the people were either born kind or were frightened by the Zhangjiacheng police and did not dare to act indiscriminately, and obediently became good citizens. The people's atmosphere in Zhangjiacheng can be said to be the best in the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Zijian came out of school and asked the guards to go back, no need to follow, he hadn't come out to hang out for a long time, and now he was out for a walk.

After half a year of repair, cement roads have been paved in most places in Zhangjiacheng.

Along the way, because of the application of cement, some similar to the style of the later Chinese fifties and sixties, of course, there are no wires and other things, with the level of Zhangjiacheng, can not be used to generate electricity, even if Chen Zijian can buy a generator set, intercept the river as a power plant, there is a problem that can not be solved, that is, the daily maintenance of the power plant, don't expect a group of illiterate people who can't read big words to do anything, Chen Zijian understands the principle, and he can't maintain the power plant with his personal knowledge, and the power plant pays attention to the group division of labor and cooperation.

Many things, Chen Zijian can only think about it, can not do, such as the simplest industrial product bicycle in later generations, the current Zhangjiacheng can not do, because there are no raw materials, want to produce bicycles, a rubber raw material can not be solved, there is no rubber wood in East Asia at present, rubber was spread to the world by Europeans from the Americas in later generations, but unfortunately now the precious rubber Europeans have not yet discovered its use, and there is no large-scale planting.

A rubber raw material embarrassed Chen Zijian to death, and now he has offended the Dutch to death, and it is almost impossible for them to cooperate to get American rubber to Asia, and the Volunteers have no ability to sail far.

Thinking of the Netherlands, Chen Zijian suddenly remembered that the Dutch could not cooperate, but it may be possible to cooperate with the Portuguese, although Portugal has declined, but they still have the ability to sail, the Portuguese are the first Europeans to set foot on the American continent, whether they came from Portugal or Spain, and later history has an introduction, it seems that Columbus came, but Columbus came from Portugal or Spain, regardless of the people of that country, but Chen Zijian knew that the Portuguese had the ability to go to the Americas to get back the rubber saplings he wanted.

The Portuguese have a stronghold in Macao, as a transit point for the Ming trade, Chen Zijian smiled, the rubber raw materials may be solved, the Portuguese worked hard but the Ming, for what, not all kinds of goods of the Ming Dynasty, now the trade has been cut off by the volunteers, and the group of people who want to come to Macao are also anxious! Chen Zijian thought it was a good idea to use trade freedom to let the Portuguese go to the Americas to get rubber saplings back, and as for whether the Portuguese were willing or not, Chen Zijian never had to worry about it.

Zhangjiacheng currently has a lot of industrial products, it is a good idea to hand over to the Portuguese agent, with Zhangjiacheng has modern sugar, soap, candles, you can make the Portuguese crazy, if these are not interested, Chen Zijian still has a lot of gold and silver coins, these do not believe that the Portuguese are not interested, thousands of miles to the East, isn't it just for gold and silver, rich Chen Zijian does not believe that they don't want.

Thinking of this, Chen Zijian was not interested in walking around outside, and when he came back to his senses, Chen Zijian found that unconsciously, he arrived near the vegetable market, which was a market in Zhangjiacheng, and it was very lively with people.

To say that the market has been lively in the past two days, and Chen Zijian has a lot to do with it, yesterday's exam, the children of Zhangjiacheng were more or less rewarded by him with coins and silver coins, and with an unexpected harvest, the people went to the market to add food, buy ingredients and go back to reward the children.

There are a lot of people who have won the silver coin reward for the child, a small part of the people take one or two silver coins out to purchase, directly let the market be full, yesterday's seafood was bought out by the people, all the merchants today greeted the people of the transport team early, increased seafood transportation, and then there is a lively scene in today's vegetable market, which is more lively than the New Year.

Because Chen Zijian attaches great importance to the marine fishing industry, and deliberately lowers the price of seafood, the price of cheap seafood in Zhangjiacheng is usually about 20 or 30 coins, and some expensive lobsters, abalone, shark fins or something, the price is not expensive, the people of Zhangjiacheng can consume, of course, the reason for the cheap price of seafood is that the various fish resources in the ocean are abundant, and the use of trawl nets to go to sea about 100 meters can easily drag back thousands of catties of fish, and the number of fish in this era is not at all imagined by later generations of fishermen.

Fish resources are abundant, and the price is naturally cheap. Seafood can be consumed by everyone in Zhangjiacheng, of course, if you want to hunt whales, you have to go to sea a little farther.

Seafood is cheap, on the contrary, the traditional chicken and duck, pork and mutton prices are much more expensive, the reason is that there are not many in Zhangjiacheng, scarce is expensive, mutton, Zhangjiacheng does not have many people breeding, the sheep that were bred before were killed to eat meat, plus the time problem, it is somewhat difficult to eat mutton in Zhangjiacheng.

Seeing that there was a snack bar that had opened not far away, Chen Zijian entered it and sat down, and soon Xiao Er came over.

Xiao Er put a towel on his shoulder, and came over to wipe the clean table in front of Chen Zijian a few more times, "Hello guest, what do you want to eat." ”

Xiao Er obviously hadn't seen Chen Zijian, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy, Chen Zijian asked, "What do you have to eat here?" ”

Xiao Er skillfully reported the name of the dish "Steamed Treasure Fish." Steamed lobster, garlic oysters,......"

Soon a list of more than a dozen kinds of seafood was reported, and these menus were not as full as a thousand eight hundred in later generations, and they were just dishes from a small shop here.

Chen Zijian: "Bring me a bowl of shrimp wontons!" Chen Zijian casually ordered a bowl of wontons, which was not expensive, twenty coins.

Soon a bowl of wontons came up, there was a layer of wontons floating in the bowl, some green onions were sprinkled on it, I ate one, the juice was full of good taste, good food, after the Chinese people settled down, a talent was revealed, that is, the talent of eating, a simple wonton, using shrimp meat as raw materials, I don't know how the store got it, anyway, the taste is good.

There are a lot of people around me, and they bring their children out to make a tooth sacrifice, and now students can earn money when they go to school, and it is not a strange thing for parents to bring their children out to make a tooth sacrifice.

Leaving the shop, a bowl of wontons of course could not satisfy Chen Zijian's appetite, but he just didn't want to attract attention, now most people don't know him, just can secretly pretend to compare, thinking about where there is any uneven road, pulling out a knife to help, shopping for a long time, found that the wish was disappointed, and the police who often pass by shocked the young people, and there was no opportunity for Chen Zijian to show his hands and feet.

Back home, a three-story villa has been renovated, don't ask why it was completed in such a short time, imagine that more than 200 people completed a three-story villa, isn't it an easy thing! Half a month is enough, and this is still the time to wait for the cement to dry. Otherwise, it will be even earlier.
