Chapter 853: The Rubber Plantation
It is Huang Han's wish to expand the territory, of course he will not pour cold water on everyone, and replied affirmatively:
"It is necessary to recover Cochin and occupy the city, and if conditions permit, it can also be considered to take the entire Indochina Peninsula, but not now, now we need a territory to plant rubber trees in a large area."
Zhang Fengyi said: "I understand, Xiaguan thinks that it is necessary to send garrisons to establish a rubber plantation in Qiongzhou Mansion on Hainan Island at the same time, and operate there for two years, and it can become the starting point for the capture and recovery of Jiaozhi in the future." â
Chen Qiyu agreed: "Yes, running Qiongzhou Mansion and using the advantages of our army's naval division to project troops is very good, can the little An Nanyan hold it?" Our army recovered Jiaozhi and saved water. â
Sun Chuanting likes to read maps, sand tables, and study military affairs, and the four walls of his apartment are covered with maps from all over the place.
The accuracy rate of the world map of the "Red Banner Army" system has exceeded 90 percent, and the LĂŞ Dynasty of the Great Viet Kingdom and the Nguyen regime of Quang Nam have marked it on the map.
He said: "Our 'Red Banner Army' is well-equipped, and the overall quality of the soldiers is far stronger than that of the Ming army in the Chengzu period, and the firepower and speed of the warships, including the total amount of warships, are far greater than when the eunuchs of Sanbao went to the Western Ocean.
During this period, a large amount of intelligence could be collected, and even spies could be used to infiltrate the coastal and riverside towns of the Dayue Kingdom.
The official believed that as long as the dispatch was appropriate, the attack could be accurate, and the lost territory could be recovered in just a few battles in a year. â
Huang Han knew that the key to pacifying the Dayue Kingdom was to complete the division and encirclement in the plains, form an encirclement and annihilation, and kill and injure a large number of the officers and soldiers of the Dayue Dynasty, so that the enemy's regular army that rushed into the mountains to fight guerrillas was minimized.
Otherwise, playing hide and seek in the tropical jungle will consume too many troops, waste too much time, and form a protracted tug-of-war.
Huang Han never underestimated the Da Yue guerrillas, who were like monkeys in the tropical jungle, and they could survive without food by eating insects and wild fruits.
Sun Chuanting's attention to the accurate meaning of the attack was nothing more than to make full use of the sea mobility of the Marine Corps of the Navy Division and adopt the method of surprise attack to cut off the retreat route of the officers and troops of the Great Viet Nak.
At this time, there is no need to discuss too much about the tactics against the Da Viet Kingdom, but to consider the transplantation of rubber trees and the cultivation of rubber tree seeds.
Huang Han said: "The ideas of Lord Zhang, Lord Chen, and Lord Sun coincide with this king, now let's discuss it, how can we make Qiongzhou Mansion like an arm?"
Planting rubber trees is not an overnight process, and it takes seven or eight years to produce a yield, during which time only a small number of successfully transplanted mature trees can provide a small amount of rubber.
The investment period is so long, if anything changes during the period, all the investment may be lost. â
Wu Xiang understood and said: "Lord Wang, Qiongzhou Mansion is poor and white, and it is a chicken rib for the Ming Dynasty, and the lower officials think that they can negotiate with the imperial court, and the 'Red Flag Army' will take over Hainan Island and implement military management."
If the imperial court is unwilling to be accommodating, it will not hurt, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, my Longwu Shui Division can directly log in to the enclosure, and the lower officials estimate that the local guard army learned that the 'Red Flag Army' came to guard and took the initiative to take refuge abounds, and the generals who dare to obstruct the soldiers should not exist. â
Liang Tingdong said: "This official thinks that the negotiation is completely feasible, and the imperial court has always been eager for the 'Red Flag Army' to send troops to fight the rogues, and the official is willing to go to Beijing to meet the emperor and propose an exchange condition."
It was stated that the 'Red Flag Army' needed to invest a lot of money and grain in planting rubber trees on Hainan Island, and in order to ensure that the investment could be rewarded, it had to garrison and manage the Qiongzhou capital. â
Seeing that even Liang Tingdong understood the return on investment, Huang Han had an idea and said: "Once the rubber plantation has produced gold and silver, it is not a lie, and this king has a suggestion to adopt a joint-stock model to operate the rubber industry."
You can subscribe for equity, we not only absorb the capital in the 'Red Flag Army' system, but also vigorously publicize in Beijing to guide the capital investment of Daming officials and nobles.
In line with the basic principle that whoever invests will make profits, in the future, not only rubber plantations will operate in this way, but also steel plants, vehicle factories, shipyards, cement factories, etc. can adopt a joint-stock cooperative system. â
Supporting Fa Xiao, Hanzi was the most active, and he was the first to say: "Brother Han, what do you say I believe, my family has also had a lot of spare money over the years, and it will all be used to invest in rubber plantations." â
Hanzi is not only Huang Han's hair, Huang Yizhou's righteous son, but also Huang Han's brother-in-law, who has made outstanding contributions over the years.
Of course, the income is the highest among the generals of the "Red Banner Army", because there will be tasks every year, the basic salary is more than 30% of the treatment of the first grade, and there are also a lot of military merit awards, and the annual income will not be less than 2,000 silver coins.
Because he received Huang Han's new ideological education, like the Huang family, his wife and concubine and eldest maid all served as managers in good units such as Sifang Qianzhuang and Hongqi Grain Bank, and the treatment he received was also very expensive, which was more than enough for family expenses.
Hanzi now has a wife, three concubines, four sons, three daughters, and dozens of people in a family, with a fixed high income every month, and life is prosperous.
The generals of the "Red Banner Army" were completely different from the generals of the Ming Dynasty, and because the land policy did not allow them, they could not buy a large amount of fertile land to become big landlords.
The only way they save is to save money and get 6% interest per annum, or to invest in industry.
And often concentrate on the war generals are not very good on industrial investment, the vast majority of choose to deposit money in the Quartet money bank to earn interest, at this time Hanzi heard that the small mobilization of everyone to invest in rubber plantations, he did not care whether to make money or not, immediately fully supported.
Huang Han nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let your investment go down the drain, and I guarantee that your investment will get a satisfactory return." â
Han Ziman said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if you make money or not, as long as the silver can help!" â
Huang Han approached Hanzi and patted his thick shoulder, and said, "When did your brother Han ever do a loss-making business?" Follow me to invest in the package, and you will not lose money, but also benefit the country and the people. â
This is not Huang Han's assumption, the rubber industry has been prosperous for a long time in later generations, and there are countless capitalists and farmers who have made a windfall by investing in rubber plantations in Southeast Asia in the early days.
Since rubber trees need to be planted for seven or eight years to produce rubber, the investment cycle is long, and it is great to be able to raise private capital through the joint-stock system.
Huang Han is an omnipotent existence in the hearts of the generals of the "Red Banner Army", and at this time they all expressed their willingness to participate in investment, even Liang Tingdong, Zhang Fengyi and so on are very active.
Only with high profits can you attract huge investments, and only then will there be an endless stream of funds following the trend.
Of course, there must be huge profits on the first rubber products to be put on the market, and all the people who participate in the first batch of investments will receive huge benefits.
