"Garfield, my friend, what do you think will create more jobs in the West?" said Durin, cross-legged with a wine glass in his room.

The mines could indeed bring him lasting profits, but he needed more than just stable output and income, and if he wanted to gain a foothold in the west and involve the people here in his plans, then he needed an industry with a large number of jobs, provided to the Guartes in the west, and more natives in the west. They don't have to risk too much to feed their families, and they still have a few spare dollars to sit in the bar for a drink or something exciting.

Only by turning a large part of the people in the west into his own employees can Durin be regarded as gaining a firm foothold here, and can make his own loud voice in the empire with the land of the three states and the rich mineral resources. If he can't do this, then it's a pity that all his efforts will be in vain, and those good western simple farmers who don't need you to live won't wave their flags for you at all.

"Of course, open the mine!", Garfield's first reaction was to open the mine. To open a medium-sized mine, you need to hire between 300 and 1,000 people, and of course you can hire more, but the more people dig faster, and the gold diggers with the best of the skill can help the employer manage the problem of laziness or not. However, he also knew very well that Du Lin was able to raise this question, and he must have excluded mining mining, so he thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if you have paid attention to the commercial policies of the west in recent times?"

"I don't seem to have paid attention to these things, is there anything I can teach me?", Durin nodded, showing his modesty.

Garfield smiled, and he moved his ass forward slightly, looking as if he was closer to Doolin, "Next door...... The governor of Lepus Prefecture put forward an economic argument that seems to be very new, but in fact it is very old-fashioned, he believes that "clearing the wasteland" of the west is the best way to seek a breakthrough in the development of the western region at present, and has given individuals and organizations in the western region quite high preferential policies and tax rebate subsidies. The Cabinet felt that his idea was constructive, so it implemented this policy throughout the West. ”

"A lot of people are trying to grow tobacco in the west, which needs a lot of light and fertile land if it wants to grow well, and the west just meets these conditions. I don't know if he's right, but I have to say that the cigarette industry is indeed the most powerful new industry in the western region, with manufacturing jobs second only to mining. Many tobacco companies have located their bases and factories in the west, and one factory can probably solve the employment problem of more than 3,500 people, and there is no upper limit for many of them. ”

"You know that I run around a lot, and I know a little bit about farming and farming, and you need at least 10 to 20 people to take care of a hectare of land, plus jobs in the factory, as long as you have enough money, you can create countless jobs here. If you think that's a good note, I might as well invest some money in it. Garfield raised his hands and waved, "I don't want to see those money moldy in the bank, I have to make it work, don't I?"

Some time ago, someone mentioned this matter to Dulin, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, although he was a farmer's son, he didn't know much about commercial farming and animal husbandry. In Alfalfa Town, the Kersma family owns twenty acres of land, but they only need three people to take good care of all these lands, these three people are Mason, Merlin, and the Dulin brothers. Therefore, he felt that the degree of employment in agriculture and animal husbandry would not be too high.

But after Garfield mentioned this, he immediately realized that commercial farming and self-selling farming and animal husbandry have completely different performances. Driven by commercialization, crop yield is no longer the most important indicator, but rather quality.

A hatchling chick may be worth the price of an egg, but a rooster that is two or three years old, especially a majestic rooster, may be worth two hundred eggs.

Quality will always be the highest value-added option in a commoditized society, both here and in the world of Doolin's dreams.

He pointed to Garfield, "You've been a great reminder of the blind spots I hadn't noticed before, and it's very useful for my plans for the future." As for the investment you mentioned...... I'm sorry, but this is not an investment, it's a strategy. Of course, if you're really interested, Perfect can partner up to set up a tobacco company to sell my tobacco leaves, and the profit seems to be okay?"

Garfield was a little disappointed, and immediately clapped his hands, "I very much agree with ......"

After sending Garfield away, Durin immediately went to the state government to inquire about the purchase of agricultural and pastoral land, and there was only about a month left to leave the spring, and if the seeds could not be planted in the spring, the future plans would be disrupted, so Durin came to the state government's Land Resources Management Bureau early the next morning, and he needed to enclose the land.

Memnon was reviewing several documents at this time, and there had been an accident in the west a few days ago, but it was a minor accident, a mine collapsed, and about forty slaves and eleven miners with imperial citizenship died. The slaves didn't need any reaction from him, but the eleven miners needed him to deal with it. According to the agreement between Memnon and the locals, as long as a certain percentage of the insurance premium is paid, the government will compensate them for the accident.

It may be that the insurance premium paid by these eleven people is less than 100 yuan, but he needs to pay 96,000 yuan for it. This is the first mass fatality incident after paying the insurance premium, and even he feels a little ruthless. 100,000 yuan is not much for him, but this is just the death of 11 people, which produces a compensation that is almost equal to 100,000 yuan. Mining itself is a very high-risk job, and who can guarantee that nothing will happen again?

Once tens of thousands of people die this year, the Move Forward Party can declare bankruptcy. It was only then that he realized the major flaws in his plan. In fact, he also considered these things at the beginning, but if he didn't do it at that time, he didn't even have a chance, only if he gritted his teeth and did it, he had such a chance to successfully win the votes of a city or even a state. If it weren't for the fact that he had been in business for a little shorter, he would have been the governor of his state by now.

The sudden ringing of the phone made him frown, put down the pen in his hand and picked up the phone, the call was from the Land Resources Management Bureau, and he had an acquaintance in it.

"Mr. Memnon, the young man you brought to my attention is here today, and he is going to buy some agricultural and pastoral land, does he need to be granted permission?"

"Don't give him land ......", Mennon actually didn't fully understand what the other party said and gave an arbitrary answer, he quickly reacted, after all, minerals and agriculture and animal husbandry are definitely not the same word, and even the pronunciation is not similar, "You just said agricultural and pastoral land? Did he say what he needs to do with agricultural and pastoral land?"

"Yes, he said he was going to grow tobacco leaves......"

A strange smile appeared on Memnon's face, if Durin wanted to take the mineral land, he would never give him this opportunity, not only because he had killed one of his subordinates and the gang behind him, but more importantly, Memnon wanted to force Durin out of the west. From Durin's character of going to work without saying a word, Memnon found a shadow from Mr. Kersma, and they were all like a kind of people, all of them were crazy!

It's not fun to be neighbors with a madman, you never know if the neighbor who walks towards you and greets you with a smile will get sick when he passes you, and when he'll give you an axe and blame you for influencing him.

Therefore, as long as Du Lin wants to take land to open a mine, even if he buys it, no one will sell it to him, and his influence in the western peasant is still quite good. It's just that everyone seems to have made a mistake, this kid is not here to mine, he is here to farm!

Do you want to give him land?

Memnon didn't think about it for too long to get the people from the Land Resources Management Bureau to agree to Durin's request, which is also related to the recent major policy in the west, turning the Gobi land into rich plains has always been the "most desired" thing for westerners. Whoever is able to do this can be called the king of the west. Even the cabinet of ministers also demanded that the three western states should vigorously encourage local businessmen to devote themselves to agricultural and animal husbandry construction, instead of digging holes everywhere in the west with red eyes.

At the same time, there is no "mine protection team" in agriculture and animal husbandry, which is also the key reason why Mennon does not allow Duhrin to continue to increase his holdings of minerals. The more minerals he holds, the more members of the Mine Guard team will be able to master. If he bought ten or twenty mines, wouldn't he be able to pull out a group of 10,000 people anytime and anywhere? What was the difference between this and the armed uprising he had played on the territory of the old party? How could Memnon, who knew the influence of the mine protection team very much, give Durin this opportunity?

But farming is different, no one will come to grab a piece of farmland without anything, that thing is worthless, including the output in it, it is not worth much!

He likes to farm, that's good, it solves some jobs, and it won't increase his personal power, and he is willing to contribute to the construction of the west, so let it be!

With Memnon's approval, Dohrin quickly received approval from the Land Resources Management Bureau to privatize 500 hectares of land at once. As he was about to leave, a staff member casually asked, "What are you going to plant?"

Durin looked back and smiled, "Grow vegetables, sir!"
