Suide Prefecture and Xinghua Prefecture are both located in the northeast of the ten states, facing each other from north to south.

Among them, Suide Prefecture can be divided into coastal lowlands, large watersheds and western plains from the geographical region. Almost the size of the whole of Western Europe. In addition to a few natural deep-water harbours of varying sizes, there are rolling forests covering the vast wilderness. The rivers that flow vertically and horizontally have laid a solid natural foundation for the development of agricultural cultivation and animal husbandry. Named by officials as the riverbank area between the Wolong and Murray rivers, it has become the most important wheat-growing area in Suide Prefecture, providing food rations for tens of thousands of people. There are those immigrants with flexible brains who see that the terrain in this area is gentle, and the water and grass are abundant, so they have to fight the idea of raising sheep and grazing. The banks of the Marambij River could be used as fruit, grape and vegetable production centers in the future; The western part of the plain is a semi-arid area, which can be mainly used for sheep farming; Cattle and sheep are mainly raised in the Taiwan region, and the Namoe River Valley in the north is the main cotton producing area.

Not to mention Xinghua Prefecture. This is where Li Shouhan skillfully snatched from the Dutch, and the area is much larger than that of Suidezhou. Unfortunately, the environment here is much harsher than the natural conditions in Suide Prefecture, which are convenient for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry. There are many deserts, but there are salt lakes scattered in the desert. The coastline, which stretches for more than 10,000 miles, is suitable for the development of fishing and shipbuilding. The vast pastures of the interior are not suitable for raising horses, but they are a paradise for sheep. And that's without taking into account the huge reserves of minerals that can be unearthed. Soon after the land was snatched from the Dutch, gold mines were discovered in the hinterland of Xinghua Prefecture, and for a time immigrants flocked to the land like ants.

Thinking of the development prospects of the ten states in the future, Li Shouhan couldn't help but almost drool.

Just as he was about to think about whether to sell several of the Li family's properties, such as the horse farm in Fulang Mountain and the ranch on Tamna Island, to the Hu family or the Li family, a group of guys who had already made a fortune by developing industry, commerce and service industries, and shifted the main battlefield to Shizhou.

"I can allocate a sum of money from the inner government to Husi, and buy the pastures and mines in Suide Prefecture and Xinghua Prefecture. Such. Millions of square kilometers of land have become the inheritance of my Li family for generations. Whether it is animal husbandry, mining, or wood processing industry, it is an industry that will not stop making money in the future! ”

Since the war in Europe is in full swing at present, and the war that has been fought for 30 years has been fought for 30 years, it seems that the supply of weapons, ammunition, food, and cloth of high quality and low price has been continuously improved by the Nanyue army. At this time, the foreign devils had no time to look east, so they took the opportunity to run Nanyang and Australia into their own backyards.

"I'll have to let Mei'er do the math when I get back. On horse farms and ranches, how many veterinarians are skilled in breeding, and those who are willing to go to ten states, can double their salaries. Then you can ask the guys who are in Long's prevalent business outside the mouth to help buy some herdsmen in the Mongolian tribes outside the mouth and go to the ten states to engage in grazing. ”

With the technology of artificial breeding, there are Mongolian herders who are good at grazing, and what is most lacking are all kinds of peony horses, bulls, cows and breeding sheep.

"Well, you can change the regulations, and you must bring a few pairs of cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, dogs, and other things on the ships of the ten states." I thought of transporting animal species to the ten states. Li Shouhan immediately had a thought burst out of his mind like a lightning flash!

"Sixth! Remember! Be sure to check carefully on the ship to the ten states, and no rabbits can come on board! ”

Just kidding, in the depths of Li Shouhan's mental memory, the rabbits on the Australian continent have become a disaster, and countless jokes have been made up by netizens.

On this continent, which originally had no rabbits, in Li Shouhan's impression, the number of hares in the thirties of the twentieth century had reached a terrifying number, 10 billion!

1859 year. A man named Thomas? The English farmer in Austin came to Australia. Among his large luggage items was 24 European rabbits, 5 hares and 72 quails. As a standard English gentleman. Austin had a special interest in hunting, so he stocked the rabbits into his territory near Jilon. In this way, in the second year, he can enjoy riding horses and rabbits with other farmers in his free time.

At the time, no one could have predicted how quickly rabbits would reproduce. With no natural predators such as eagles, foxes and wolves in Australia, the European rabbits who come here find themselves in paradise: a pleasant climate and delicious grass everywhere. There was no sign of the enemy around; In addition, the soil here is loose, so it is very convenient to make holes and make nests. And so, a terrible expansion with almost no restrictions began.

These rabbits set out from the territory of Austin and began to expand north and west. In 1866, in Capda, South Australia. Another batch of rabbits was stocked into the wild, which greatly accelerated the expansion of rabbits. Since then, the offspring of these rabbits have spread in all directions at an average rate of 130 kilometers a year. By 1896, the rabbits' sphere of influence had extended north to Queensland, south to South Australia, and across the Australian continent to Western Australia.

In the endless Australian savannah, herds of rabbits greedily nibble on all kinds of grass, and ten rabbits can eat the grass equivalent to that of a sheep. At the same time, they also gnaw on a variety of shrubs and tree bark. During the dry season, they even climb onto the branches to eat the tender leaves, burrowing and gnawing on the roots, turning patches of bushes and woods into wilts. It is estimated that in Australia's drier regions, as little as four rabbits per hectare of land can deprive the various plants on that land of their ability to regenerate. One of the most direct consequences of this is that the soil and water conservation capacity in most parts of the Australian continent has declined sharply, and soil erosion and soil degradation have become increasingly serious, causing irreparable damage to the local ecological environment.

Not only the destruction of the environment, but also the native-born wallabies and bandicoots that are in the same small ecological environment as the rabbits are completely uncompetitive. As a result, the more mild-mannered marsupials had to starve. Decades later, Australia's oldest and smallest kangaroo, the rat kangaroo, was finally wiped out. In the mid-19th century, the bandicoot was almost ubiquitous in South Australia, but today it can only be seen in a very small number in central Australia due to losing out on competition with rabbits for food. According to statistics, mainly due to rabbits. There are dozens of extinct or near-extinct species of protozoa in Australia.

Ten rabbits are equal to one sheep. These tens of billions of rabbits are a billion sheep! How many jobs and how much wealth can be created?

Although I don't know why Li Shouhan strictly forbade rabbits from entering the Shizhou area, Zhang Xiaohu and these old people have developed a habit over the years, that is, to implement the things Li Shouhan explained to the letter. In Zhang Xiaohu's words, it is: "Our lord is from heaven and stars, can the things he can see be compared with us ordinary people?" If I don't tell you why, I'm afraid of revealing the secret of heaven! ”

Immediately he bowed and sang a promise in his mouth. Guarantee to order his subordinates to strictly investigate and not let a rabbit enter the ten states.

After dealing with these things about the future development plan of the ten states and the preservation and appreciation of his family's property, Li Shouhan's mind was clear, and a rather narrow idea popped up.

The Zhang Xiaohu in front of him, but he is the kind of good man and woman who cleans the warehouse of the Spaniards on the entire Luzon Island? Giving away his subordinates' horses, pigs and sheep for nothing?

When he thought of this, he bared his teeth at Zhang Xiaohu with a wicked smile on his face, "I said that Commander Zhang, you gave the horses of your subordinates and the pigs, sheep, chickens and dogs in the cabin to the people of the ten states, you are really the Nanwu Guanyin Bodhisattva who rescues the suffering!" ”

Seeing Li Shouhan's expression. Zhang Xiaohu knew that the lord was in a good mood now and was going to joke with himself.

"Originally, I didn't plan to do anything, but seeing that they were all the people under the rule of the lord, people begged bitterly, saying that they really lacked horses, pigs, sheep and other things here, and we shouldn't be too selfless, right?!"

"Shao and Lao Tzu pretend to be good people! You Zhang Xiaohu is the kind of person who can't afford to be early! Are you willing to do anything that is not beneficial? Li Shouhan teased Zhang Xiaohu.

Get! I can't hide anything from you! Zhang Xiaohu made such a look.

"Our left flank fleet has handed over all the pigs and sheep in the ballast. Naturally, I can't go back to empty when I return home. Zhang Xiaohu muttered, "Back to the empty words." First, it wastes capacity, and secondly, it is not good for navigation, and the ship is fluttering! ”

The so-called empty return refers to the empty return of vehicles and ships, which is called the empty return phenomenon. In the Qing Huidian? Tobe? The "Cangchang Yamen" explains: "Those who should be relieved and those who should be supported should be paid their own amounts. And the sending and receiving are limited to return to the empty. "Reducing the phenomenon of returning to the air can give full play to the potential of the means of transport, which is also what Li Shouhan has always emphasized and insisted on. This is the reason why the so-called thief does not go empty.

"Tell me Lao Tzu, what did you bring with you on the return trip of your left flank fleet?"

It seems that Zhang Xiaohu was also prepared, and took out a stack of crumpled paper bills from the inside of his clothes with a smile on his face. The ink on it is still fresh. It can be seen that it has just been filled in.

"This is the tax payment voucher issued by the customs for our left flank fleet, please take a look!"

The first thing that broke into Li Shouhan's eyes on the bill was a line of words: "Good wheat 100,000 and 364 stones!" ”

In addition to this huge amount of grain, as for those things like dog's head gold and wood, they are all fractional amounts, and it is not as good as this line of words that makes Li Shouhan excited.

"Sixth, didn't you plunder all the rations of the people of the ten states, right?!" Li Shouhan didn't dare to be careless, he coughed, the one in front of him added an idiom to the Spanish vocabulary, Zhang Xiaohu's ransack! It is described as leaving no grass everywhere you go. He doesn't want to use this kind of iron broom habits and methods to the ten states! This land is even a grain and animal husbandry production area, but now it is just as Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The world is initially decided." Like a bird that has just begun to fly, do not pluck out its feathers; Like a newly planted tree, its roots cannot be shaken, and it is important to recuperate. ”

If Zhang Xiaohu is greedy for a while and transports back all the grain stored in Suide Prefecture and Xinghua Prefecture, I am afraid that all the hard work in the past few years will be in vain!

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu suddenly screamed out and hit the sky!

"My lord! We've been working under you for so many years! Those things should be done, those things can't be done, that energy is used on one's own people, and that energy is used on outsiders, and I Zhang Lao Liu can still distinguish clearly! ”

"On this trip, I cleaned all the large and small islands on the sea route from the Java Islands to the Ten Prefectures, and it took me more than half a year's effort, and the brothers all had human lives. But I haven't lifted a finger against the people of our Nanyue Army! Rarely, we will also leave some daily application and loot for our people! ”

"These wheat are all old grains allocated by the people of the government in various parts of the ten states from their own Siwucang and Changping positions, and the best is the wheat harvested a year ago. Moreover, it was an official document issued by the official office of Suide Prefecture, and the discount was set by them, and the brothers of the left flank fleet of our naval division did not offer the price. ”

"And when we come back along the way. And a lot of unloaded in the warehouses of various supply points, as the storehouse reserves, there has never been a little bit of greed! If the lord doesn't believe it, he can order someone to go to his subordinate ships and get the receipts issued by the officials of the supply points everywhere, and then you can match the accounts! ”

Zhang Xiaohu's brother was not cautious enough to do things back then, and he embarked on the road of no return step by step, and finally killed himself. Therefore, in the past few years, Zhang Xiaohu has deeply learned the lessons that his brother exchanged for his life. Don't look at the superficial things that are careless. However, the joints are by no means ambiguous, the so-called private clerical official seal, thousands of years of words and paper can speak. Zhang Xiaohu grasped this point very well.

And he also knew that the reason why Li Shouhan talked about these things was largely a joke, and it belonged to the activities carried out when the relationship between the monarch and the minister was relatively close. But it doesn't mean that no one will report these things to Li Shouhan. After all, hundreds of thousands of stone wheat is also a large amount, and it is easy to make people blush and sick in anyone's eyes.

"Sixth. You said that in the future, every ship that travels back and forth from various ports in Nanzhong to Suide Prefecture and Xinghua Prefecture in ten prefectures will transport immigrants or patrol ships. When you go, try to bring more horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks, and bring some wheat back on the way back. Li Shouhan scribbled on a blank piece of paper with the cinnabar pen in his hand and unconsciously scribbled on a blank piece of paper.

"My lord, if you plan to make the ten states as the state capitals in the south and central within a few years, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Zhang Xiaohu has also traveled back and forth between Shizhou and Nanzhong many times. He also has a lot of experience in the geographical environment, human environment, climate and so on between the two places. Not to mention anything else, just the various poisonous insects and beasts and strange animals in the ten states are enough for immigrants to drink a pot.

The continent of the Ten States has been lonely in the sea for millions of years. There has never been biological communication with several continents, so a large number of primitive creatures have survived here. However, it is not only the cute kangaroos and koalas that remain on this continent that thrive, but also poisonous spiders and red fire ants, and the sharks in the sea, which are known for their ferocity, are not worth mentioning compared to the jellyfish. In front of the jellyfish that killed countless people, the shark with sharp teeth and serrated teeth was the old woman who ate fasting and chanting Buddha.

Therefore, the method proposed by Zhang Xiaohu is similar to the development and construction steps of the ten states as Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi in Java at this time, which is a strategy of steady progress and step by step. In addition to continuing to emigrate to the ten states, the routes to the ten states should be fixed as soon as possible, and non-governmental organizations such as information bureaus, carriage and horse dealers, and ship dealers should also intervene as soon as possible.

"These people are all on it, and the connection between them is getting closer and closer, even if there are treacherous people who plan to use the waves on the ocean to think that the moat is plotting against them, they can quickly learn about it and settle it in one fell swoop."

Zhang Xiaohu could not say the words that the ten prefectures had newly opened up their capitals and various places in Nanzhong, including Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and other places to carry out navigation, postal services, and even trade, but he would speed up and intensify the contacts between the ten states and Nanzhong, and with Liangguang and Fujian, and then completely turn Shizhou, a land called Yellow Java in Zheng He's writing, into a solid rear base for the Nanyue army.

"Moreover, when these private vessels sail back and forth, the government may specify that each boat must carry a certain number of animals and a certain number of tools. When you come back, you have to use wheat as ballast. ”

All ships coming from the West must carry horses, horses, wheat and cotton from India, and without these forced imported materials as a stepping stone to the gate of Nanzhong, you just wait to pay more taxes! Of course, if you're lucky enough to be on board a person with an invitation letter from Galileo and others and a person with the customs clearance procedures of the National Government's customs seal, your tariffs can also be lowered as appropriate. But how many people have that kind of luck? Almost all Western ships obediently loaded horses, cotton, and wheat around Tianzhu to pay for customs duties.

Zhang Xiaohu didn't know what his insights meant in the process of the Nanyue Army's development of the Ten Prefectures and the complete transformation of this ancient wasteland into a grain and rice warehouse, horse farm, wool heap and mine for the Nanyue Army.

When everyone was still planning for the New Year, the household department and the industrial department of the Guogong Government jointly issued a document to officially release the route to the ten states, and bid for the people. "Anyone who has the strength can apply for a license for a round-trip route."

After the New Year, Guogong Li Shouhan himself raised a large amount of silver from the private wealth of the Inner Government and purchased a large piece of land in the Ten Prefectures from the Husi, and since then the Guogong Mansion has become the largest landlord in the Ten Prefectures.

"Let's go to the Ten States to reclaim the wasteland! There is no limit of fifteen acres of land per person, and you can farm as much as you want! (To be continued......)
