Chapter Ninety-Six: No Sincerity

In this summer harvest, Fujian's rice output reached about 8.5 million tons, which is about 5.6 million tons of rice, and Fujian's population is only more than 10 million, so it can still export a small half, and it is not a problem to export 2 million tons of rice.

As for the 2 million acres of corn, 1 million acres are silage, and these feeds will be used to supply pigs, cattle and sheep, and the other 1 million acres will be kept for corn cobs, and the output of corn kernels will reach 1 million tons, and part of the corn stalks will be sent to the paper mill to make paper, and part will be sent to the biogas digester.

The reason why we don't silage all the corn is because there aren't enough livestock! Silage so much feed livestock can't be eaten, and besides, this chicken also needs feed! Chickens are naturally raised with corn, and the 1 million tons of corn kernels are just used to raise chickens.

After the summer harvest, there was enough feed, and Xia Jun immediately expanded the scale of cattle raising.

It is planned to build more than a dozen cattle farms in various places in the next two months, but none of these cattle farms are built in the coastal plain area.

One of the advantages of building in a mountainous area is that typhoons can't blow in, so you don't have to worry about typhoons.

Before, he only had to exchange 3,000 cows, that was because the feed was not enough, if he waited for these 3,000 cows to slowly breed, the number of cows would double in 2.5 years, I don't know that it would not be until the Year of the Monkey to promote beef cattle and dairy cows, and there is no limit on the planting area of forage corn, and the number of cattle cannot keep up at all.

This time, Xia Jun planned to exchange 100,000 cows and hundreds of breeding cattle directly from the exchange platform.

It's not that Xia Jun doesn't want to further expand the scale, but it's too expensive to exchange cows so directly, a cow needs 100 points, and the price of a breeding cow is even more expensive. Buying these cattle will cost Xia Jun more than 10 million points. With these more than 100,000 cows, the promotion speed will be much faster.

After the summer harvest, the aquaculture industry is about to flourish, this time 6.5 million tonnes of feed alone, or 13 million tonnes if all the corn is silaged.

Of course, the income of the self-government axe of the summer harvest is also very good, and the amount of rice collected will reach 1.7 million tons, that is, about 1.15 million tons of rice, and one ton of rice is ten quintals, and even if one quintal is sold for 3 silver dollars (in the case of a sharp drop in grain prices), these rice can be sold for 34.5 million silver dollars.

In fact, the price of grain in Fujian has already begun to fall, and the purchase price of one quintal has fallen to about 2 silver dollars.

Xia Jun smuggled and transported it to some inland cities by vehicle, and sold it for nearly 4 silver dollars per quintal, which was absolutely possible, and the profit was 3 silver dollars.

In this regard, Li Shijing took the initiative to do it, she recruited a few honest and reliable shopkeepers, some of whom were from her father, and planned to open grain stores in major cities. Through the way of the grain store, you can skip the intermediate link and earn more profits.

As for what to plant in the second season, Lin Debao and Xia Jun discussed, decided to plant more corn in the second season, although the feed is enough, but the scale of breeding will expand rapidly in the second half of the year, as far as chicken raising is concerned, a large amount of corn is needed as feed, after all, the scale of broiler breeding can be expanded to one billion in a short time.

……

Li Shengguo rushed to Xiamen on 12 July, and he was not worried about the talks, which were not really negotiations anyway, but only delayed time.

Under the guidance of Modoma, an intermediary, Li Shengguo and the negotiators began negotiations in Xiamen.

The negotiator of the book was called Nakano Saburo, who had two mustaches and looked relatively thin, and Nakano Saburo handed over a list of compensation to Li Shengguo as soon as he came up.

The list lists the losses of the company, a total of five battleships, and the loss of nearly 3,500 officers and soldiers.

The total amount claimed for these losses is an astronomical amount of 300 million customs taels.

Li Shengguo immediately threw the list back and rebuked him for reversing black and white, "It was you who said that this warship invaded our Fujian waters first, and at the same time attacked our Fujian fishing boat, so our side carried out a self-defense counterattack." ”

"The Great Empire's navy attacked Fujian fishing boats?" Saburo Nakano asked incredulously.

"That's right, you say that you are really a dirty nation, and you even sent a navy to retaliate because of the attack on opium smuggling in Fujian, and after the retaliation fails, you will also target innocent people." Li Shengguo pointed at Nakano Saburo's nose and scolded, anyway, he didn't really come to diplomatic negotiations, so he will talk about it after scolding.

"You...... You are talking nonsense, the Great Empire has always been committed to maintaining peace in Asia, how can it attack fishing boats. ”

"This is our loss, and we should have compensated our Fujian Autonomous Government...... 500 million customs two. Li Shengguo said nonsense.

"You don't have the sincerity to negotiate, just wait for the army of the Great Empire to set foot in Fujian!" Saburo Nakano roared angrily.

The first day of negotiations broke up unhappily, but the negotiations did not stop there, and after the maneuvering of British and American personnel, Nakano Saburo promised to talk again tomorrow, saying that Motomasachi was far from being ready for war at this time, so he quickly returned to the negotiating table.

However, on the same day, Li Shengguo was interviewed by a reporter from the British "Times" in Xiamen, telling about the causes and process of the maritime conflict.

The next day, the British Times published the cause and course of the naval conflict, and described the navy as 'dirty, vulnerable, and clown-like.'

British public opinion circles were full of hostility towards the British alliance, and from the British side, the British had benefited greatly from the alliance, but they had not received any real benefits, especially since the policies pursued by the British in Korea and Northeast China repeatedly contradicted the doctrine of "open doors" and "equal opportunities" proclaimed by the British alliance, and Britain's commercial interests in the region suffered greatly.

After the establishment of the Anglo-Russian Entente in 1907, the idea that there was no longer a need for an alliance with Russia appeared in Britain, and then there was a dispute between Britain and Britain over the issue of tariffs. Due to the interaction of various reasons, the opposition to an alliance with the British public opinion has become louder and louder.

The defeat of the battle in the Ningde Sea area of Fujian Province was quickly exposed to the world, and the loss of five battleships was not exactly the evidence that proved that the navy was vulnerable?

For a time, it was said that the navy had become the protagonist of the world stage, a protagonist who was ridiculed.

The political axe of the book was furious about this, and ordered Saburo Nakano to increase the conditions of compensation, not only to pay compensation, but also to have various privileges in the book.

Returning to the two sides at the negotiating table, Saburo Nakano became even more arrogant, and Li Shengguo's side yesterday had received an urge from the British side to show the sincerity of the negotiations, otherwise Britain would no longer interfere in the negotiations, and Modoma's side was much better, obviously Modoma had been bought by Xia Jun.

Therefore, Li Shengguo, who returned to the negotiation table, did not have the momentum he had before, and in the face of the new compensation agreement submitted by Yu Ben, Li Shengguo and his assistant took it and carefully read it word by word...... Three hours!

In the past three hours, Li Shengguo discussed with the two assistants in Hokkien dialect, arguing with them selflessly, and no one present could understand it anyway.

The next morning, the negotiations ended without saying a few words, and Li Shengguo took the new compensation agreement submitted by Li Shengguo and said that he would go back to study it for three days, and then negotiate three days later.

Three days later, Li Shengguo returned to the negotiating table, and as soon as he returned to the negotiating table, he talked with Saburo Nakano, the negotiator of the agreement, about the new conditions to be included in the compensation agreement.

It is as if it has accepted the compensation agreement.

It is said that there are more than 20 additional conditions in this book, large and small, and Li Shengguo did not talk about the main content of compensation, but talked with Saburo Nakano on these additional conditions.

Nakano Saburo was overjoyed, thinking that the Fujian autonomous government was about to give in, and out of the struggle for his own national interests, Nakano Saburo repeatedly argued with Li Shengguo on these additional conditions.

In this way, more than half a month has passed......

In his report to the United States, Modoma wrote: "The negotiations have been going on for nearly 17 days, but in these 17 days of negotiations, the two sides have only argued on some minor conditions that have nothing to do with the subject, and some small conditions can even be debated for several days, and I can already see that the Fujian Autonomous Political Axe does not have much sincerity in the seemingly extremely serious negotiations, but the negotiators think that they are about to give in, and I do not want to remind them of this......."
