In terms of state affairs, Li Guang is even more needed to sit on Datang Island.

Li Guang and Premier Yuan had an agreement that at least one of them should be in charge of the country at the same time.

This is the helplessness of the newly founded country, the law is still 108,000 miles away from soundness, and all kinds of rules and regulations are extremely imperfect. Li Guang admires the legal system, but under the current circumstances, only the rule of man can dominate. Since it is ruled by man, if the family leaves for a month or two, although the current situation of Haitang Kingdom will not be chaotic, it is very likely to delay the process and even cause irreparable losses, and there will even be a certainty.

In fact, Li Guang's thinking about this matter is too idealistic. Even if the laws and regulations are perfect, the country must have a person in charge at all times. Even in China in the 21st century, it is impossible for the general secretary and the prime minister to visit abroad at the same time.

So, what is Premier Yuan going to do? A visit abroad, and a very risky visit abroad.

The old gentleman is old, but for the sake of state affairs, he can only run around and work hard, and this mission, Li Guang thinks to himself, with his own ability, I am afraid that he may not be able to do better than Premier Yuan.

If you want to say the core reason for the prime minister's visit to a foreign country, there is only one word - money.

In the past year, Haitang's economic development really can't be said to be very bad. It is even possible to achieve self-sufficiency without external assistance and without large-scale operations, which is a miraculous rate of development.

However, this alone is not enough. Haitang was established in the Indian Ocean, no matter how good the world environment is in the future, in a world dominated by white people, if its own strength is not strong, I am afraid that it may not be able to keep this foundation.

What's more, can Li Guang allow white people to continue to dominate the world? Although the rise of China is not something that Li Guang can do alone, he can make a contribution. Sweat or blood, Li Guangdu did not hesitate. Now Li Guang is no longer the confused young man he was at the beginning. After years of baptism of war, Li Guang already has a goal to strive for.

Look at the economic situation of Haitang in the past four or three years, look at the numbers, it's really good. In particular, one of the most brilliant achievements was the envy of Chairman Chiang not only at home, but also for the whole of Southeast Asia and even all countries on the European continent.

In the fourth or third year, Haitang took the lead in solving the problem of food and clothing. Moreover, there is a large amount of grain available for export to earn foreign exchange. During the war years, there was no famine in most parts of the world, except for most of North and South America, and famine was everywhere in Asia, Europe and Africa. Haitang can do this, how not to be envied.

The speed of agricultural development in the Haitang Kingdom is astonishing. Thanks to two factors: on the one hand, the government headed by Premier Yuan is preparing to do well.

As early as forty-one, forty-two. Haitang imported about $20 million worth of agricultural products. Moreover, during the period when prices were relatively low, the average price of imported grain was about 50 US dollars, or 2,000 Tang yuan a ton.

The government has imported about 500,000 tons of grain from South America, the United States, and Canada, which is enough to feed 1.5 million people for a year.

These grains are one of the most important foundations for the smooth development of the Haitang Kingdom, without which they can be supported. It is simply impossible for the Haitang Kingdom to develop smoothly.

These grains ensured the food supply of the people and the army of the Haitang Kingdom, and even solved the food and clothing of many indigenous people. At the same time, allies, such as the Provisional Government of Ceylon, were firmly in their hands.

At the same time, the government-led land reclamation has made extraordinary achievements. Under the hard work of hundreds of thousands of indigenous and black captives, as well as Japanese prisoners. The pace of progress is amazing.

By the end of the fourth or third year, the amount of cultivated land owned by the Haitang Kingdom had reached 40 million mu (of which more than 10 million mu of the original indigenous farmland was almost all state-owned), and according to the government's plan, by the end of the fourth or fifth year, it was not a dream to reach 100 million mu of land.

Another reason for the rapid development of agriculture is that it is thanks to the industrious Chinese farmers.

According to Li Guang's idea, it is very hard for a farmer, especially without mechanized agricultural machinery, to be able to farm ten acres of land.

But in fact, the degree of hardship and hard work of the new immigrants in Haitang was almost unbelievable to Li Guang. It is even believed that the report given by the government is exaggerated.

According to the government report, a rice farmer can manage an average of 20 acres of land. And almost all of them are produced in two crops, and some farmers even produce three crops of rice.

And the farmers who grow wheat, corn and sweet potatoes do not have to be equal, almost everyone manages 30 acres of land.

You must know that most of the new immigrants are a family by themselves, and there is no helper at all, and the hardships can be imagined.

The enthusiasm of these peasants, who did not have enough to eat in the country, once they were allocated land and had the hope of owning their own fields, was amazing.

In a short period of one and a half years, the number of peasants has grown from 320,000 to about 2 million, and farmland has grown from 10 million to 40 million mu. By the end of four or three years, grain output will definitely reach 6 million tons. Excluding the consumption of military and civilian food, the surplus grain is around 4 million tons.

Four million tons of grain.

What is this concept? Enough for 10 million people to consume for a year or more.

In other words, after continuous immigration, although there are still only two million people (Chinese) in the Haitang Kingdom, it can support a political system of more than 10 million people just by producing grain. Li Guang was only shocked by the infinite power of the peasants, but in fact, if he did the math, this result was not difficult to come by.

You must know that almost all of the early immigrants were young and middle-aged, and there were no old and weak, and there were no women. Almost net productivity. In China, if a laborer owns 30 acres of land, it is actually normal to support four or five family members. Of course, during the war, there was no normal situation at all, and a family of five with 30 acres of land was only food and clothing.

Four million tons of grain is a great help for Haitang Kingdom. At present, the huge amount of grain in Haitang has one of the best sales directions - Italy.

And the price of grain is no longer 50 US dollars a ton, but more than 100 US dollars a ton. In other words, just selling grain, excluding freight and other consumption, Haitang will get about 300 million US dollars in foreign exchange earnings.

In Li Guang's concept, agriculture is not profitable. But reality has taught Li Guang a lesson, agriculture is very profitable.

Of course, the situation of the Haitang Kingdom is special, the land has almost no cost, and the labor force is almost pure production, only its own consumption. And this situation is also completely abnormal, which is a country where most men are young and strong.

Premier Yuan had high expectations for agriculture, but he did not expect such high returns. In four or three years, the total value of agricultural production in Haitang accounted for almost half of GDP, and even more than half of the wealth created for the country.

In addition, several military industries that have been relatively mature in Haitang have developed very well, and the country's income has risen to a great level.

With so much money, the life of Haitang Kingdom should not be so tight, why does Premier Yuan have to work hard to find money?

The reason is simple. Make more money, spend more. (To be continued......)
