Chapter 390: Li Zicheng's Australian Colonization 2
After settling in Seafood City.
After spending some money, I rented a simple wooden shack for immigrants to live in, and settled down temporarily.
Soon, after only staying for two or three days, Li Zicheng and others found that Australia is actually quite good.
Vast but sparsely populated.
It can really be described as vast and sparsely populated, very wild, and the degree of development is very low.
In addition, there are sufficient resources.
In the nearby forests and grasslands, there are a large number of prey, bring a bow and crossbow firearm, and you can hit two or three wild anime in a casual circle outside, satisfying your personal food consumption.
The beach and shallow sea area by the sea have a large number of seafood resources, the annual fishing potential, it is said to exceed 50,000 tons, and the fishing fleet of the seafood city can successfully catch more than 10,000 tons every year, but because the distance is too far, only a small part of the high-value lobster seafood will be packaged, insured, sent to the transport plane, and then brought to the territory of Daming, brought to the harbor city, it is said that Australian seafood, in the harbor city of the wealthy group, has a very good evaluation, so it can be sold at a very high price, It is welcomed by many consumers.
Just put it on the side of Harbour City, a big lobster that needs hundreds of silver dollars, and the origin of Seafood City, as long as you spend two or three silver dollars, you can eat it in a big gulp, eat it casually, hold the huge lobster and nibble on it, and you don't have to worry about not being able to afford the order.
Lobster free.
Seafood free.
That's one of the benefits of being here.
Then there is the problem of food, at present, the best and most perfect development in Australia is the mining industry, which can mine a large number of high-grade ores every year, and then transport them to the heavy industry city next to the harbor city to become high-value raw materials.
Therefore, the development of agriculture is relatively slow, the choice of farming is good, and the land is not particularly fertile, and there is a winter, so the grain is planted at most a stubble, the land utilization rate is not high, far less than the tropical areas of Nanyang that can be planted for three seasons, so the self-sufficiency rate of grain is very low, but the Nanyang region, not far from Australia, some grain estates in the Nanyang grow cheap grain, and then transported by cheap shipping, so that in the market in Australia, the price of grain is not very high, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty is about the same.
Only in terms of vegetables, due to the talent of Chinese immigrants to grow vegetables, it is impossible to lack vegetables, and you can see small vegetable gardens everywhere, and it is not difficult to eat fresh vegetables.
The development of local animal husbandry is quite good, and there are a large number of wild animals, so there is a lot of meat, and the price is not expensive at all.
There is no shortage of food.
Therefore, Australia is a good place to live, basically there is no shortage of anything, prices are relatively stable, and there are plenty of cheap seafood to eat.
Not bad.
This place is really nice.
It may be an exaggeration to say that it is heaven, but Li Zicheng and others feel that it is much better than their hometown in Shaanxi.
"The price of seafood in my hometown is much more expensive than here, only the powerful can afford to eat it, so we can only buy some river fish to eat."
"The meat is also cheap here, in Xi'an City, mutton costs 38 Wen a catty, but here, as long as 25 Wen a catty, it is still a wild goat, the taste is very delicious, and the meat of the kangaroo is only 10 Wen a catty, although the taste is slightly sour and woody, but it is well handled, it is also a good delicacy, you must know that our hometown, there is no 10 Wen a pound of meat to sell."
"Yes, Xi'an's rice costs 8 wen a catty, how can you buy 10 wen a catty of meat."
"In addition, the job here is also very easy to find, a dock porter's job, the daily salary is 280 Wen, not many people are willing to do it, you can arrange it if you want to do it, it can be seen that there are many development opportunities here, and the requirements for workers are in short supply."
"That's right, I found a job as a construction worker, with a daily salary of 350 Wen, and I plan to work for a few days to get used to it, after all, we don't have much money left in our pockets, and we have to start making money immediately, otherwise we will have to listen." Gao Yigong said.
"Old Gao, how did you go to work as a construction worker, didn't you complain that you want to pick up a knife again, and never be a fool and a mule again? Why are you going to sell coolies again? Liu Zongmin asked puzzled.
"I can't do it if I don't work, I have a wife, two concubines and five children, and there are eight mouths waiting for me at home, can I not work? There's really no way. Gao Yigong shook his head with a wry smile.
】
"But didn't you say you were going to get the knife again? Don't want to go back to your old business and do something that makes quick money? Liu Fangliang asked.
"Back to the old business?"
Gao Yigong still shook his head: "I'm in my thirties, the force has come down from the peak, and the swords and sticks are also rusty, what's more, now is the era of firearms, and many of the immigrants who come here have bought firearms to defend themselves, and they are all shotguns, and if they hit, they will definitely die, I am impatient, dare to move this crooked mind?" Besides, Xujiazhuang has also recruited some 'innocent soldiers', who are responsible for the security here, and it is not a state of letting it go, even if I can be arrogant for a while, it is impossible for me to always succeed...... That's it, what I said before was all willful words, in my life, I am destined to be a cow and horse, and I can't change it, so I can only admit it, and complain that the eldest brother might as well do it steadfastly. ”
Hear this.
Liu Zongmin and others had to nod their heads and reluctantly agreed.
That's right.
The new environment here in Australia is really good, and there are not many powerful people coming, but it doesn't mean that this is a place without order, once they pick up the knife, with the ability of only thirteen strong men, at most become bandits, rampant for a few days, but soon the head will fall to the ground, hang the city gate, and become an example of warning others not to do anything wrong.
And now they all have wives, they all have children, they have hundreds of families, they have to feed them, if something happens to them, what will these families do?
Let's continue to be a good law-abiding citizen and continue to do things in a down-to-earth manner.
Tian Jianxiu even proposed that they first find a job to do, strive to save some money, and then buy a car, continue to engage in the logistics industry, this piece also has good development prospects in Australia, the demand space is very large, the profit margin is not low, as long as they do a good job, within ten years, 'Tiancheng logistics transportation team' can be reborn in Australia.
"It's a good idea, we can continue to do logistics."
"It's just that the road conditions here are too bad, there are not even a few decent cement roads outside the city, most of them are dirt roads, either dusty, or muddy and difficult to walk, there is no such good infrastructure conditions in the Ming Dynasty, and logistics here, even if it is profitable, it is hard money and hard work."
"That's better than going to work and do physical work, the so-called word is not out, part-time work is to work for a lifetime, and it is impossible to make any money, unless you are the boss, or work for yourself, we rebuild the logistics caravan, that is, to start a business and be the boss, even if it is particularly hard, it is much better than doing physical work." Liu Rukui said.
"That's right, it's more appropriate to choose and choose, or continue to do the old job, which is also the field we are good at, and we can also go south and north, increase knowledge, and it is much better than a part-time job."
"If you don't engage in a logistics transportation team, we can also be the bodyguards to escort the caravan, this line is called a dart master, no need to work hard, just need to escort the goods to arrive safely, more worry-free, the cost of investment is not high, as long as there is a weapon in hand, in case of attack, dare to fight for your life."
"It's okay to be a dart master, this is an asset-light industry, you don't need to invest too much cost, just work hard for customers with peace of mind, although the danger is a little, but there are a lot less things to worry about, which is more suitable for us."
"I think I can, too."
Everyone talked nonsense, and soon reached a more unified opinion: the dry dart master, set up a dart shop, specializing in helping customers escort darts, escort safety, and asset-light operation, which is very good.
But......
Everyone's eyes still looked at the eldest brother Li Zicheng who was sitting on the side, and wanted to ask him what his opinion was.
Indeed, this time for the major failure, the eldest brother Li Zicheng does have to pay a certain amount of responsibility, but he still has to have the brothers fall into the pit, and his head almost moved, which proves that many of his decisions are not necessarily correct, and it is likely that there will be mistakes, and everyone will be miserable.
But even so, everyone didn't dare to make a decision privately, they still wanted to consult the eldest brother's opinion and let him come up with the idea, no way, although the eldest brother Li Zicheng made a huge mistake, but it can't be said that it is completely his responsibility, and the eldest brother's starting point is good, it is to let everyone live a stable and prosperous life, this goal is also close to being achieved, if it is not an accident, and everything goes well, everyone will only be more convinced, more obedient to the eldest brother's arrangement, there will be no doubts.
And even if it overturned this time, the leader of the eldest brother, in their hearts, is still qualified, but he just made an unexpected mistake, and it is impossible to do better if he were them, but without the eldest brother, their heads would have moved long ago, just like Zhang Xianzhong who rebelled and did not look back.
Hear the inquiries of the people.
Li Zicheng smoked a cigarette, was silent for a while, and then said: "Whether it's looking for a job, or starting a logistics caravan, or going to do what kind of dart master, these can't do it, these roads either prove impassable, or can only be a little rich, can not change our fate, if you want to be rich and rich, don't want to be trampled by the powerful again, we still have to Bo, take our lives to fight, build our own homes, have our own land and resources, just like the development model of Xujiazhuang, only so, Only then can we break our destiny and live a truly free life. ”
The crowd was taken aback, or puzzled, and asked:
"Big brother, I don't know what you mean?"
"Do you still want to go to the mountains to be bandits and rebel with knives?"
"Big brother, you've been hit, you can't think about it, we're all old now, and we still have so many families to raise, so there's no chance to take risks."
"Yes, big brother, this time we were stimulated to a certain extent, I didn't expect you to be more stimulated by big brother, in fact, we are just complaining and complaining, it's really not to be brutal, in this era, rebellion is a dead end, it has long been proved that it doesn't work, what we say are some reckless and unwilling words, big brother, you must not take it seriously."
"Yes, I really can't lift a knife, and I can't cut it, I haven't seen blood for several years, and I have a family, just want a stable life, big brother, don't take it seriously!"
Everyone opened their mouths to persuade one after another, not wanting Li Zicheng to think about something extreme, otherwise the more than 100 of them would be finished.
"You can rest assured, I will not think about it, but I have thought of a real road that can achieve great wealth and wealth, take this road, even if our generation can not achieve great wealth and wealth, but our next generation, the next generation, will definitely succeed, just like the rise model of Xujiazhuang, it is difficult to stop."
Li Zicheng said to everyone.
Just listening to his words, everyone not only did not feel at ease, but became even more worried.
The eldest brother must have something wrong with his head, and he was stimulated too much, and he was already a little delirious and began to think crankily.
It's the same as the rapid rise of Xujiazhuang, unstoppable, is this possible, just with their dozen weeds, they still want to copy the miracle achieved by Xujiazhuang, this is simply a fool's dream, there is no possibility, it is better to be realistic, find a job to do in a down-to-earth manner, there is no problem in supporting a family, always thinking about what is rich and expensive, not to mention the rich and expensive, even the life can not be saved, this is a road of no return.
"I'm not talking nonsense, I've found the real secret of Xujiazhuang's success."
Li Zicheng had to explain: "The reason why Xujiazhuang is so successful, in the final analysis, is the word land, find a way to occupy a large amount of essence land, establish a number of manors, and then not disturbed by the outside world, develop industry, vigorously do business, if we also find a way to lay down a piece of land, occupy it, and then find a way to reproduce the population, establish a manor of our own, and then learn from Xujiazhuang, but also engage in a little industrialization, achieve self-sufficiency, and buy a large number of weapons, Establish our own armed forces and even the army, fifty years later, a hundred years later, our manor, will develop into an independent small kingdom, wait until it is fully developed, the strength is strong enough, and then expand externally, occupy more land, if it is not possible to occupy it by force, we will spend money to buy, from 1,000 acres, expand to 10,000 acres, 100,000 acres, millions of acres and even reach the level of 10 million acres, more than those magnates in the Ming Dynasty, have more land, at that time, our family, is also the so-called big family, There will also be a lot of wealth and resources...... All in all, land is everything, as long as there is a large piece of land, and then find a way to hold this land, our family, sooner or later, will become developed, and it is impossible to fall into a miserable situation again, after all, there are not many armed forces on the Australian side, and there are many indigenous people called 'Maori', and our development prospects are very broad. ”
It took a moment for Li Zicheng to elaborate on his ideas and plans.
To sum it up, it's just two words: land.
Acquire land by unscrupulous means, occupy land, and obtain ownership, strive to get the approval of Xujiazhuang, and get the property right certificate of the land.
But the problem is that although Australia is big and there are indeed a lot of land resources, the immigrants have occupied the best part, as long as they live for ten years, it will completely belong to them, Li Zicheng wants to occupy a large area of land, unless he goes to the wilderness to open up the wasteland, or go deep west, to plunder the land of the indigenous Maori, as long as he drives away the local natives, successfully holds their territory, and then firmly entrenched for another ten years, no matter how much land he occupies, it belongs to Li Zicheng, and he does not have to pay any taxes.
This is the clause stipulated in Xujiazhuang's "Colonization Decree", which is very clear.
It was this colonization decree that made Li Zicheng see the possibility of realizing his dream of becoming rich and noble, and was ready to give it a go.
