The first update is coming, it broke out tonight, today's tickets, brothers don't forget after reading it.

Thank you Wang Hero, Belle Dandi, 'Fang Fuhe', Super Sample, YY My Best Awesome, Tianyu Demon Ape and other students for their tips! There are a lot of people who have rewarded today, I don't know if there is a missing list, thank you very much!

The population of Xia Jun's territory has now grown to 2.35 million, and the popular sentiment index (average) has dropped to 3.1 because many places in northwest Fujian have just been included in the administration.

Therefore, Xia Jun's popular income in July was 7.31 million points, compared with the original 5.2 million points, Xia Jun had 12.51 million points in his hands.

Xia Jun also almost knows the purchasing power of points, the purchasing power of 1 point is about 50 yuan in later generations, but the face value will shrink when exchanging those advanced things, and the more advanced things are, the more they will shrink.

Now Xia Jun is short of money, and the expenditure on military spending, salaries, and wages can be supported, although Xia Jun is repairing infrastructure everywhere, but the profits of textile factories and paper mills, plus fighting bandits and local tyrants, can also support it.

However, the import of raw materials requires capital turnover. There is no silver or gold exchange on the exchange platform, so you must use other methods to exchange points for money.

What is the most profitable?

Xia Jun actually found counterfeit money printing equipment on the exchange platform, which is a large number of counterfeit money printing equipment, and almost all current banknotes are included.

The price of these counterfeit printing equipment varies from high to low, but in general they are very expensive.

For example, a U.S. dollar printing equipment, a counterfeiting equipment that prints 100 million U.S. dollars a year, requires 50 million points, and a counterfeiting equipment that prints 100 million yuan requires 100 million points (the silver dollar is used in the silver dollar, and the silver dollar in China is about 1=1).

At this time, countries did not prohibit the exchange of gold and silver, and their banknotes were pegged to more denominations than silver dollars, called 'exchange vouchers', that is, the corresponding precious metals were exchanged for the denominations.

As long as Xia Jun can create counterfeit money, he can get real money.

These counterfeit devices can not only make money, but also hit the other party's economy, and the counterfeit equipment exchanged on the exchange platform can reach the point of being fake.

The disadvantage is that once the counterfeit money is printed too much, it will definitely be discovered.

Even if there is no mistake on the paper, ink, etc., there will definitely be a problem with the numbering, and once the issuer notices it, they will replace the banknote, thus turning the device into a pile of scrap metal.

After reading the price, Xia Jun felt that the printing of counterfeit money was not as affordable as investing in farm products, because which agricultural products in the system were the lowest only needed 1 million points to build a cultivation base.

In fact, counterfeit money can only be used as a means of attacking the enemy's economy, but it is definitely not a conventional means.

The bank should be able to solve the problem of lack of money.

Xia Jun feels that we should increase investment in people's livelihood, because the current people's sentiment index is only 3.1, which is still a little far from the current highest 6 points.

Therefore, we began to continue to increase the construction of people's livelihood, and this month we can raise the people's sentiment index of the entire northwest Fujian to 5 points.

The people's heart index mentions 5, and the people's income in August will reach 11.25 million points, and at the same time, with the population of the new administrative area, the points obtained in August will be higher.

And in September, after the high-yield rice is put into production, the people's sentiment index can reach 6.

How to raise the people's morale to 5, Xia Jun decided to improve it in an all-round way by squandering points, going to the countryside to publicize the Propaganda Department, and sending troops to the countryside to invest in agriculture.

How to improve people's livelihood? Naturally, it is to strengthen infrastructure construction, bring electricity to residents in northwest Fujian, and at the same time lay tap water pipes for them to drink clean and safe tap water.

This involves reservoirs, power generation and other projects.

Hydropower stations and reservoirs themselves coincide, and at the same time, they can also irrigate, store floodwater, and improve waterways.

The waterway is currently very important, it is an important transport route.

In modern times, the Minjiang River is the economic artery of Fujian, and the materials transported through the Minjiang River include rice, tea, timber, salt and other materials, and countless others. The goods transported to Fuzhou from the counties in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River are called downlink goods, including rice, tea, timber, bamboo, paper, sugar, dried bamboo shoots, mushrooms, lotus seeds, Chinese medicinal materials, camphor, tung oil, lacquer, dyes, etc., with rice, tea, timber, and bamboo as the bulk goods.

The goods exported from Fuzhou to the counties in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River are called upward bound goods, including salt, foreign cloth, cotton yarn, western medicine, department stores, Beijing fruits, ironware, hardware, coal, kerosene, paper cigarettes, matches, etc., of which salt is the bulk of the goods.

Fuzhou is the provincial capital, densely populated, has always been a grain shortage area, a considerable part of the rice grain required by the northern Fujian grain production area supply, this kind of rice grain is called Xi rice. If the rice boat transporting the river rice does not arrive, the price of rice in the market will immediately skyrocket.

According to the records of the later generations of "Glossy Rural Chronicles", the annual output of glossy rice is more than 20 thousand stones, of which 30,000 to 40,000 stone rice is sold to Fuzhou by the Minjiang River waterway. According to statistics, about 600,000 quintals of rice are transported to Fuzhou River in northern Fujian every year, and about 6,000 sparrow boats are needed to shuttle through the Minjiang River every year.

The channel of Jianxi can only pass through small sailing boats of three or four tons, that is, sparrow boats. Therefore, the waterway must be improved, and the dam must be repaired, at least until the dry season can pass 30-ton ships, and the seasonal transport can pass 50-ton ships.

Xia Jun opened the exchange platform and calculated it in the engineering column.

If he wants to connect the entire northwest of Fujian with power lines, realize the tap water supply of the entire northwest Fujian, and improve the waterway of Jianxi to a 30-ton locomotive ship, the required engineering and materials (water pipes, wires, transformer equipment, etc.) need to invest 5 million points.

Moreover, the engineering team in the platform employment system can only complete 65% of the construction volume, such as pulling wires and laying water pipes, all of which have to be carried out by Xia Jun himself.

There is a return on investment, and Xia Jun still decided to build this project.

And once this project is completed, Xia Jun can have a good waterway, and the power station can also provide 10 million kilowatt hours of electricity.

10 million kilowatt-hours of electricity was not enough electricity for a city in the 20th century, but in this era, residents only lit an electric lamp, and individuals could not use much electricity, so there was still a large amount of surplus electricity for factories.

And Xia Jun can also collect electricity bills, can generate profits every month, and crowd out the kerosene market, this year people mostly light kerosene lighting, because kerosene is cheaper than candles, and most of kerosene is imported.

In the three years of 1909~1911, China needed to import an average of 685.173 million liters of kerosene per year, and the Mobil Company, established by the Rockefeller family, an oil oligarchy, benefited greatly.
