Chapter 347: A Trip to Jiaozhou (52)

With the support of both the Shi family and the Jiaozhou Thorn History, coupled with Guo Bin's extremely attractive ship fare, both the chartering of ships and the cutting and purchase of sugarcane went extremely smoothly. In just three or two days, the first batch of thirty ships heading north was loaded and ready to set off.

Regarding the location of the manor and the wharf, Guo Bin naturally greeted Zhu Fu and Shixie a long time ago, and although the two families were surprised that he chose Xiangshan Island, they were also very happy. Wang Yue even kindly told Guo Bin about the situation on Xiangshan Island, which was mostly inhabited by Nanyue ethnic groups and very few Han Chinese, and he reminded Guo Bin that if he wanted to build a wharf and a manor on the island, he had to deal with these people.

Regarding Wang Yue's reminder, although Guo Bin was very sincere, he had no intention of changing his decision. In fact, for the Shi family and Zhu Fu, if Guo Bin's wharf is to be built near Panyu City, although it is placed under his nose, it will be a lot of trouble. As landlords, the two of them have a cooperative relationship with Fulong Villa, and they have to provide various support in the construction. It's not that they are stingy and reluctant to have a little property, but inside and outside the city of Panyu, there are many South Vietnamese people living together, and if there is any conflict between the two sides because of the difference in customs and habits, it is extremely difficult for these two families to do.

Because there are not many Han people in Jiaozhou, the South Vietnamese people living inside and outside Panyu City account for more than half, so whether it is the Shi family or Zhu Fu, the connection with the South Vietnamese people is very deep. If Guo Bin's people and the South Vietnamese people had a conflict under their noses, which caused a conflict between the two ethnic groups, who should Zhu Fu, the parent official, be directed towards? The South Vietnamese were also his people, weren't they? To whom should the scholars facing? The Shi family can have such a high appeal and influence in Jiaozhou, if it is not supported by the South Vietnamese people, it will be difficult to do it. If Guo Bin fell out with the Yue people outside Panyu City, it will inevitably lead to chaos among the Yue people in Panyu City, and this chaos is close to the bottom of the nose, whether it is Zhu Fu or the Shi family, it can't be managed, no matter what. It's hard to be in a dilemma.

And if it is on Xiangshan Island, out of sight and out of mind, it will not be them who will have a headache when there is a problem. If Guo Bin does not handle the relationship with the Yue people on the island and causes a conflict, neither the Shi family nor Zhu Fu has any reason to take care of it, and they are very happy to see it. After all, it is far away, and there is a waterway to separate it, no matter how big the matter is, it is only on that small island, and it will not affect the stability of Panyu City. And when the time comes, whether it is Guo Bin or the South Vietnamese tribe, they will come to ask the two families to adjust the contradictions.

Don't look at the agreement reached between the two sides on the purchase of sugarcane, and it is expected that there will be long-term and stable cooperation, but even if you are your own people, there is a question of who is the main and who is the auxiliary, let alone the two sides with economic cooperation? In the eyes of Shi Jia and Zhu Fu, as long as there is a demand for a steady supply of sugarcane, it is enough to keep sending money to Jiaozhou, and it is best not to cause trouble and not have other political demands.

Therefore, imprisoning Guo Bin's people on the small Xiangshan Island is the most worry-free and labor-saving method. When they first arrived, once they had any difficulties, of course, they would have to come to the Shijia or Zhu Fu, and the question of who would be the main and who would be the auxiliary on both sides would naturally be decided.

Moreover, Fulong Villa will also send troops south, which Guo Bin has already agreed with Shi Xie, Zhu Fu, and Wang Yue. Although this unit is only to protect the Zhuangyuan, if it is placed outside Panyu City, it will be a rebellion. The relationship between the Shi family and Zhu Fu is already delicate, and once there is an incident between the two sides, Guo Bin's troops will definitely get involved. This is not a question of whether Guo Bin is willing or not, as long as this force exists, the two sides have to count this force when calculating the balance of forces and planning strategies. With Guo Bin's cool energy in going south to occupy the city and capture the king of Linyi, combined with his great prestige in the Central Plains, it is not difficult to calculate the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command.

Therefore, allowing Guo Bin to build a manor outside Panyu City is like putting a knife on the side of the couch, and the handle of the knife is still in the hands of others. This kind of great uncertainty is something that any politician is inherently extremely resistant to, and in today's form of organization, all those who are in power seek extreme certainty that everything is under control. For example, as an emperor, what he wants is that the civil servants do not love money, the generals do not hesitate to die, and everyone works hard for themselves. As a minister, what he wants is the absolute obedience of his subordinates, that the people pay their taxes on time, in accordance with the amount and in accordance with the regulations, even if there is a famine, it is best to sit at home and wait for death, and never make trouble.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius said that "kings, ministers, ministers, fathers, sons", didn't he want to strive for this kind of certainty?

Therefore, placing the soldiers of Fulong Villa on Xiangshan Island is very convenient for monitoring, and as long as there is any wind and grass, you can get the news in time. And there is something urgent in Panyu City, if Guo Bin's people want to intervene, it will be far from being able to quench their thirst, and when they arrive, the dust will settle.

The matter of the location of the wharf and the plantation was thus happily decided, and the three parties had their own considerations and evil intentions, and their opinions on this matter were very unanimous.

On the fifth day, Guo Bin and his entourage took their respective cars and boarded the building boat specially recruited by Shixie for him to ride. The ship was also the flagship, and in this way, under the guidance of the children of the scholars, it went north along the coastline with a transport ship full of sugar cane. The ships behind were all ships that could sail near the sea from the Shi family and Zhu Fuzheng, and after Guo Bin paid a considerable rent, the original sailors and captains on his ship followed behind the flagship. These people are all well-known and extremely appropriate people in Jiaozhou, and they were recruited through behemoths like the Shi family and Jiaozhou Thorn History, so I don't think there will be any such thing as escaping with a boatload of sugar cane.

This sugarcane is not gold and silver, although it is very rare in the Central Plains, it is not worth much money in Jiaozhou, and only Guo Bin's family has purchased these things. So it's not worth taking a huge risk for that little sugar cane. Of course, Guo Bin also considered handing over the work of transporting sugarcane to others, and Yingchuan County only needs to sit at home and have sugarcane delivered to his door, as long as he pays the corresponding money. However, this practice of completely handing over the lifeblood of an industry to someone else did not adopt it in the end.

Not to mention the safety of raw materials, with the human, material, and financial resources of the Shijia family, since Guo Bin proposed such a method, they will be able to monopolize the business of purchasing sugarcane and transportation, and the price of the sugarcane can only be said by the Texatist family. If this is the case, Guo Bin can no longer build wharves, develop plantations, and deploy troops in Jiaozhou; Nor can they increase their influence by mixing sand, so as to strengthen the connection between Jiaozhou and the interior through economic ties and maintain national unity; If you can't develop your own maritime transportation industry and improve your ability to transport materials and deliver troops by sea, then Guo Bin's strategy of attacking Yizhou, Sanhan, and even the Japanese Kingdom will also be constrained everywhere.

What's more, the river network south of Huaishui is dense, and if there are no ships after crossing the Yangtze River, it will be even more difficult to move an inch, just to prevent the emergence of separatist forces such as Sun Ce and Sun Quan in the Jiangdong region in the future, and Guo Bin's current layout can also play a role. At that time, whether it is the Yangtze River or the Huai River, it will not be a natural danger, once there is a strong coastal transportation capacity, Yingchuan's army can land anywhere on the southeast coast, and then the entire southeast coast will be a hole in the door, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to maintain a state of division by ordinary means of war.

Therefore, Guo Bin, who is deeply saddened by the century-old humiliating history of modern China, may not have a good understanding of territorial sea rights in later generations, but it is extremely advanced today. He knew that building a navy would not be done in a day, and for the sake of his Deep Blue Raiders, he had to plan ahead now.

As a reborn, Guo Bin's pattern is also not small, his goal is naturally not to dominate East Asia, he also knows that without his own participation, China has always been the undoubted hegemon of East Asia for nearly 2,000 years. As for the three Koreas and the Wa Kingdom, they are all trembling under the might of the Celestial Empire, how could they have been put into the eyes of the Celestial Empire?

No matter what era, food security is the foundation of the stable development of a society and a country, even after the founding of New China, there was a large-scale death of the Chinese people due to food shortages caused by natural and man-made disasters, or after the reform and opening up, the productive forces have developed greatly, and New China basically got rid of the big problem of food crisis. This is also an important reason why the old man who researched hybrid rice in later generations is highly respected and even respected as a national hero.

Under the current level of productivity, the most direct and labor-saving means to solve the grain problem is to reclaim a large amount of wasteland and increase the grain planting area. Of course, in addition, increasing grain yield per mu is also one of the important measures that cannot be ignored.

At the current level of development of biological science, it is very difficult to develop a new variety of grain that can be harvested three times a year like hybrid rice, such as hybrid rice, or three crops of rice. Therefore, Guo Bin wanted to bypass this problem, and he pinned his hopes on new crops to increase grain production.

Heaven seems to have a great preference for the indigenous peoples of Central and South America, and has placed such high-yielding crops as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes there, and placed them in the wrapping of the two oceans, the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, so that they have no natural predators, no foreign strong competitors.

However, it was precisely this kind of life without worrying about food and drink and without strong foreign enemies that made the residents of this place indulge in leisure, until the opening of new shipping routes, both the political system and the technical level were far behind the world average, and there was no resistance to the natural strong enemies of human beings such as bacteria and viruses. As a result, they did not form a strong and unified dynasty, nor did they have much dazzling technology, and they were defeated in the face of the virus and arquebuses brought by the Europeans. Guo Bin likes these crops in Central and South America.

In his view, in the era when there is no United Nations, the pressure of public opinion from the so-called "international community" is nonsense. In the case of insufficient productivity, man is the greatest productive resource, and although he comes from later generations, he does not want to engage in family planning. As the saying goes, there is great strength in numbers, so we can only work hard to have children, expand the size of the population, increase the total population, and strive to expand the frontiers, and then bring everyone to the world to settle down. By the way, it would be best to bring the gospel of this great nation to the whole world. At that time, the large-scale promotion of several high-yield crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes was one of his strongest backings.
