Chapter 170: Our Empire, Our Way Out
King Zhang Anguo watched Lieutenant Colonel Fan Jun leave after saluting the military salute, his back was full of excitement.
Yes, the soldiers of this empire should know that it is now easier to get promoted by garrisoning troops or operations in other places except for the main island of Liuqiu, Jeju Island, Shandong Peninsula and Borneo, and Australia!
Imperial soldiers, regardless of their branch, are proud of their beautiful uniforms.
Even the kings of the empire sometimes wore military uniforms!
Busts of King Zhang Anguo in military uniforms, or large-scale full-length portraits painted by European painters, have already appeared in many important places.
In fact, European carvers carved statues of twice the scale of Liuqiu marble, as well as large-scale bronze statues------- but he was adamantly forbidden to erect them in public places while he was alive.
He said to Prince Zhang Zhansheng: "The portrait can be removed at any time, but the large statue is not, it takes up space and is easy to move, I don't want to see me standing in the wind and rain, with bird droppings on my head------ unless I die, you can put them in the middle of the street, maybe on the National Day, you can still receive flowers for beautiful girls!"
If people are not happy with what I do, then I can splash paint or even overturn them and make people angry! ”
Prince Zhang Zhansheng's eyes are round!
Why did that happen?!
King Zhang Anguo looked into his son's eyes seriously and said: "You will also do this in the future------ when you take over my class, you will also have a large statue, and you will also have a son, so you have to consider whether what you do for this empire is really beneficial to the citizens and the empire, because it is not yours alone, it is 'our'------ you have to bear the judgment of your descendants!" ”
Prince Zhang Zhansheng immediately said: "Daddy, you told me a few days ago that you can't satisfy and like everyone!"
What if someone doesn't like me and isn't happy with me------- what if they want to overthrow my statue?! ”
"Haha, if you really do things for the citizens and the empire of this country, then more people will reach out to help you! When everyone has freedom of speech, fair evaluation will always prevail!! ”
Businessmen should know that the overseas market is even more vast------- as long as you work hard, you can use a large porcelain bowl, use coarse silk cotton, tea and coffee to easily exchange overseas spices, gold and silver, and rare treasures!
Transported back, whether it is in Liuqiu Island or the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, you can get more than ten times the benefits!
Of course, business is becoming more and more competitive, but you can choose to avoid the big players and look further afield for business opportunities.
With the capital, plus a little loan, maybe we also have the opportunity to become a big businessman!
Artisans and technicians should know how much they cost and how much they sell their watches, sewing machines, cameras, bicycles and horse-drawn carriages!
Especially for overseas sales!
They had heard the rumor of exchanging a box of matches for a goat, and they were amused; After hearing the rumors of exchanging a pound of dye for a pound of gold, they couldn't calm down------- the rumors that someone exchanged a hundred pounds of gold for a pound of cool oil in a ship's cabin made people crazy!
There are people who enjoy the high salary of a technician, and that income can allow a family of ten to live a decent, dignified and status-worthy life, and they like the peace of going to work and leaving work at the same time.
Some people are not reconciled, he wants to learn more technology and save more money, why can't he start a factory by himself? Why not?!
Even if I fail------- I'll go to work in the factory again.
Farmers should know that overseas fields are plentiful and cheap, and the prices are outrageous!
One penny per acre, even if it is ten pennies per acre, even a child can take out the money and shout: "Come, give me 200 acres of land!" ”
Especially those peasants in the Great Song Dynasty, especially those in remote areas, a large family guarded dozens of acres of land, and worked hard to dig in the barren fields------ why bother?!
Take the land and waterway to any larger city, as long as you can access the sea, there are basically merchant ships to Liuqiu Island, and you can directly go to any city on Liuqiu Island without spending a few boat fares!
You can claim that the whole family has no money and no food, and the customs office in any place can issue you a stack of colorful food coupons and clothing coupons!
Find a corresponding restaurant to have a few delicious meals------ and then go to the customs, saying that you can't afford to pay for the ferry ticket to Australia, and the customs people will happily fill out the form for you, let you press your fingerprint, and then take a picture of you.
Finally, you will be given a ticket, and it is a chartered boat for accommodation and boarding.
Your whole family becomes citizens of the Federal Empire, and you have a citizenship card.
From now on, you can enter and leave the Federal Empire normally, and you can go back to the mountains if you are not used to it.
After arriving in Australia, you can find a money bank at will, as long as you ask for a loan to buy a field, which waiter will help you operate------ but it is calculated according to the daily interest, and the money has always cost four cents of interest per day, although it is far less than usury, but it is also regarded as drinking people's sweat!
Of course, if there is a lot of labor in the family, it can also be calculated as the interest of three cents per day------ people who open the money line are born to watch people put dishes!
Starting a money bank is an industry to make money, but every money bank has some idle fields in their hands, which are the collateral for loans in the past------ in a normal society, it is impossible for everyone to succeed, and those who fail cannot afford to repay the loans, so they have to mortgage the fields to the money bank.
It is impossible for Qian Xing to farm by himself, and they are not willing to be the receivers of the fields, and they are even more diligent than the Governor Wu of Australia to promote the fertility of the fields in Australia!
For a time, all kinds of advertorials frequently appeared in Liuqiu Island and the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, Goryeo and Japan------ when the family was desperate, they used the last hundred dollars to buy a hundred acres of land, and then just as soon as they reclaimed, they found a gold mine!
What others are looking for gold mines, he finds another way out and becomes a millionaire by selling sweet water!
What two old couples selling eggs and fruits in Best City earn a hundred dollars a day!
What big Song Tai students gave up their studies, bought a pasture in Australia to run a cattle and horse farm, and became 100,000 yuan in three years!
Not only advertorials, but also storytellers!
Not only do you talk about it in the Goolan tile shop, but you also have to send the drama to the countryside, and go there to talk about it, not only to earn soft money, but also to earn storytelling money!
These are all contingent anecdotes------ but the eyes of the discerning eye are on an emerging model of agriculture.
Buy black slaves and start a cotton farm!
100 acres and 1000 acres are not counted, and 100,000 acres and 100,000 acres are roads!
From the perspective of the cotton market, since it first emerged, it has never been low, and it has been booming and extremely stable!
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is always the first place!
150,000 acres of cotton fields require 150 black or white slaves, plus a large amount of animal power, plus pot camel pumping machine irrigation, organic chemical fertilizers and organic pesticides, it can be completely built.
The price of a slave is generally evaluated only according to physical condition, regardless of skin color, and is generally twenty-five to fifty yuan.
But according to the laws of the Empire, if freedom must be restored after five years, the cost of purchasing five years of their labor is only five to ten cents, which is an extremely cheap thing.
Of course, treat them well, because after five years of regaining their freedom, they only need to pay a little more wages, and they can continue to work for themselves by these free men who have become skilled people.
The cotton field itself will not cost a few dollars, but from the very beginning of the purchase of farm tools, reclamation, land preparation and water conservancy, and then buy seeds, organic fertilizers, organic pesticides and daily living expenses, etc., this is a lot of money------ you can take out the family to fight, you can also cooperate with several companies, you can also take out loans.
At least for now, I haven't heard of anyone losing money on cotton farms.
Governor Wu of Australia likes big businessmen who have a complex for land, don't you always want to buy land when you get rich, come to Australia, 200,000 acres is enough?!
There are really big businessmen who buy one million acres of land and directly build cotton farms, and within a few days, they will bring in two or three thousand black and white slaves, plus helpers from Japan and Goryeo, as well as more than a dozen Great Song Dynasty housekeepers!
This shot is more ruthless than the Lu family------ but it is a little-known Zhao businessman.
Later, when I inquired, he was the agent of the Da Song Zhao family.
