Chapter 50: Land and Population (4)
Lee Ki announced plans for the future. Aware of the opportunity, the travelers began to discuss the division of territory.
Wang Neng, as a veteran of trade management, attaches more importance to Bianjing, where prices are relatively high, and wants to stay in Bianjing to manage the casinos and gold caves that make money every day.
Qian Jin's machinery production is always constrained by the lack of raw materials, and the lack of high-quality iron ore makes him try his best to get the land in Ma'anshan every day, and the future steel base is set in Jiangning Mansion (Nanjing).
Sun Chang, who has always wanted to build the Chengdu Plain into a grain base, wants to invigorate the group's agricultural resources based on Chengdu Prefecture and prepare an iron bucket-like base for the later expansion in the southwest.
Yang Wenhui, an engineering maniac addicted to infrastructure, didn't want to go anywhere, and confined himself to his home designing countless drawings and buildings has become his only hobby.
Zhou Lijian was engaged in the experiment of copying the secret color porcelain, and swore that he would never develop new products if he did not copy it. Therefore, you can only stay at home and cannot leave.
Wu Qi, who is determined to establish a herbal medicine library center, is also like being assigned to a mountainous area to establish a test field, and he has long been interested in Bozhou, a treasure land of feng shui. The budget allocation has long been applied for and approved at the semi-annual report meeting, and as soon as the New Year passes, the construction of the world's largest pharmaceutical group can be started immediately.
Chen Guanxian, the head of finance, hopes to open more banks all over the world, and has high requirements for the headquarters, which must be a permanent and prosperous commercial center and logistics distribution center, whether it is Yangzhou or Bianjing, it is a very good place, and it is difficult for him to make up his mind with its own advantages and disadvantages. As a result, Li Ji untied the knot in his heart with one sentence. The economic center is always a port, and it is a fool not to choose a coastal city, and the coastal port of the Great Song Empire has the most potential to be tapped, which is Shanghai Town, Huating County, Xiuzhou, a neighbor of Suzhou on Liangzhejiang Road, with low land prices and the highest return on investment.
Bai Jia, who likes to bully foreigners, took a fancy to Guangzhou, where there were the most Hu merchants. He hopes to encircle the whole of Hong Kong as his foreign trade base. The traversal who had read Bai Jia's plan agreed to his plan. In the future, the barren Hong Kong Island and Kowloon areas will become the largest foreign trade ports in the whole of East Asia. Hong Kong Island, renamed the Golden Island, and Kowloon Bay, renamed Jewel Bay, are set to become the world's most prosperous cities. The Oriental Trading Company, the East India Company, the Sulu Trading Company, the Sino-Vietnamese Trading Company, the Sri Buddha Trading Company, the Chenla Trading Company, the Bagan Trading Company, the Korea Trading Company, and the Sino-Japanese Trading Company will all have their headquarters in Gem Bay.
Wang Xinyu, a northwestern man who likes honest people and excellent soldiers, still chose his hometown of Qinfeng Road and Lanzhou to establish a base area. Since the return of Tibet, Lanzhou has become a Silk Road center that connects the entire Loess Plateau, the Hexi Corridor, and the Huangshui Valley. Lanzhou, where trade routes are open and populous is booming, is a good place for Wang Xinyu to show his skills. Whether it is cultivating intelligence agents or supporting paramilitary forces, it is an excellent place. Although the Chenji Dart Bureau, which was established long ago and armed to the teeth, has only 500 people, it has become the strongest non-governmental armed force in the northwest. If the training continues as planned, each of them will be at least a regimental commander in the future.
"Isn't there anyone who wants to go to Shandong and Hebei? We need a lot of cotton to destroy the family textile industry, the backbone of the smallholder economy. Gao Jing, don't you say all day long that you can't make good clothes without good fabrics! It is really not good for us to wear fine linen and silk fabrics, and I think it is difficult to promote the expensive Jibei cloth, the spinning machine and loom are already in place, and the world's largest textile factory can be formed when the raw materials are in place, and it is not a matter for the current Yingtianfu Textile Factory to spin ramie and linen every day! ”
"I went, Hebei and Shandong have a lot of important resources, the most important is the population. You must know that almost all the land in the plains has been developed. After a hundred years of peace, Hebei Jingdong Road has become an area where the contradiction between people and land is no less than that of Fujian Road, although the diversion and breach of the Yellow River are frequent, and the victims are displaced, but this is also a great opportunity for migration. As long as the problem of diverting the Yellow River is solved, we will be the heroes of history that no one can shake. Zhao Shouzhong asked for a business trip.
"No, you can't leave Bianjing, you are the only intermediary we have to talk to the court, who will be the head of the lobby team when you leave." Lee Ki immediately objected.
"I'll go!" Liu Jiao, a silent science and engineering man, finally spoke.
"Why? Isn't the radio telegraph and cipher system you presided over yet complete? Why do you want to engage in the Yellow River! Isn't that your specialty? Li Ki wondered.
"I designed, no, the hygrometer, thermometer, level, rangefinder, locator, altimeter, sextant, etc., which I copied in order to invest in the anti-pornography project. As for human trafficking, I am a double bachelor's degree in human resource management. Electronics is just a hobby, and the specialty is headhunting. ”
"I didn't expect your kid to show his fox tail today, to be honest, did you want to find a chance to marry a few concubines before you thought of abducting and trafficking in human beings." Li Ji asked with a look on his face that I had seen through your screaming beast.
"Well, I didn't expect to be seen through by you, since the last time you downloaded the hundreds of love action movies you brought me, I don't have any secrets in front of you. We've been here for two years, and it's not good if we don't solve personal problems, don't you say? Liu Jiao's face did not change and his heart did not beat.
Li Ji pointed at Liu Jiao and said with a smile: "You are really a typical sullen person, don't say it......
After the Chinese New Year, entering the fifth year of Yuanyou, on the day of the Lantern Festival, all the partners received a copy of the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", and the shameless Sun Chang directly stole the works of Master Xu. Although it is not a complete copy of Xu Guangqi's masterpiece, a lot of production and processing information related to new crops has been added. But a million words more than the original and thousands of illustrations can't hide the fact that Sun Chang plagiarized.
The partners of the upper, middle and lower books were all shocked by the strength of the Chenji Group, and the whole article was a hint of emphasizing the unified purchase and sales system and a contempt for the land collection habit of the scholar landlord class. In the conclusion at the end of the book, it is clearly told that the general trend of future agriculture is mechanization, intensification, scale, ecology, and automation. It is reasonable for a labor force to produce at least 1.5 tons of rice in a year. Below this value is a loss-making transaction.
Regardless of whether the partner has land or not, whether it is a big landlord or not, Chenji Group hopes that all their own people who are related to the family can quickly change their thinking and change the thinking of the small peasant economy to the thinking of the commodity economy. In this way, we can quickly help to unify the thinking of the masses and speed up the process of establishing the four major commercial grain bases.
