At first, the planting of sugarcane was planted by the Heishui government in person, or by the farmers who signed a contract with the government to specialize in planting sugarcane, under this agreement, the farmers must deliver the sugarcane to the government at the corresponding time, and there are penalties for failure, of course, if it is caused by other objective factors, as long as it is explained to the government, they will not embarrass you, the rules are dead, and people are alive. Because of human initiative, then this clause will come into force.

The government price of sugarcane is also quite high, and the price of spices is about the same, which is also one of the reasons why the people are willing to plant sugarcane, the price of sugarcane is more than half higher than that of grain, they can grow sugarcane to make money, and then sell the sugarcane, and use the money to buy grain, anyway, the price of the whole Cham is very limited, and no one dares to maliciously sell grain at a high price in the Cham Po.

Merchants from other places know that the price of Cham grain is very low, so some people want to buy grain in Cham and transport it back to China, at first they were quite smooth, but later encountered difficulties in the step of going abroad, Cham set up gates on various major roads, and the purchase of grain to go abroad is to pay export fees and tolls, so after calculation, the unit price of buying grain is higher than the unit price of Champa exports, and the gains outweigh the losses.

If someone suffers this loss, no one will dare to do so. He did not believe that anyone would be willing to lose money to buy Champa's low-priced products, or that other countries would have the financial resources to interfere with the Champa trade order. Even if there is, the Champa's grain depot is full, and if you want to eat it all, you have to make those people lose a lot of money, and then use the money to buy grain from other countries, and the difference in price is not that the Cham can't make up for it.

Heishui's sugar mill and paper mill have also entered the priority construction plan, and more importantly, the cultivation of talents, after all, the sugar refinery has been built, there must be employees who can refine sugar, and the assembly line must be designed, so while building sugar mills and paper mills, the Heishui government also widely searched for craftsmen with sugar production experience in various places through the newspaper.

On March 5, the 24th year, the first batch of copper was shipped to Vijaya, and due to the trade agreement between the two sides, the tariff charged for Lancang's goods entering the Cham has been as low as 0.1%, which is a symbolic collection of a little money, and those merchants will be allowed to pass, and the copper will eventually enter Vijaya. For these coppers, they are all bought directly and quickly, not the kind that will be paid after they are sold.

This copper did not end up in Natuna, but in weapons factories, where it was processed into barrels or bullets, shells, etc., before the copper had to be refined twice. For them, this copper is not enough to make a barrel, that is, they are not satisfied with its quality.

The weapons factory recycled all the copper to make weapons, and the trade officials, seeing that they could get copper from the Lancangs, and that they also had copper mines in their own country, proposed to stop importing copper ore, but they were refused. Copper is an important strategic resource for us, so we must also do a good job of hoarding, and collect as much copper as we can, which will become our sharp weapon on the battlefield in the future, which can effectively reduce the casualties of our army.

As a result, no one objected to the purchase of copper, and said that the amount of imports could be reduced slightly, which could also ease the country's financial pressure. The trade official nodded, he is in charge of trade, often has to take money from the treasury, he is very familiar with the state finance, don't look at the high income, in fact, the money deposited in the treasury is really not much, the higher the income, the expenditure is also greatly increased, especially the offensive, for scarce resources, the Pengyu is not stingy to buy, and then invest in urban construction and military spending also accounts for a large proportion, so this year's treasury revenue is much less than in previous years.

The annual report has not been released by officials, and he is waiting for news from Sita's resettlement site until Nguyen Van Zhao brings Sita's income and expenses back to China before he can release the annual report. Although the settlement has not been established for a long time, there is basically not much income and pointing out, or the income support is insignificant for the mainland.

The annual report of the twenty-third year of Zhizheng (no more than one version): the total domestic revenue is 6.52 million, the expenditure is 6.8 million, and the remaining money in the treasury is basically the money left over from last year, of which taxes account for less than 10% of the total revenue, tariffs account for 30%, and the remaining six achievements are the income of the national trade, and most of the tariff revenue comes from the Lakshmi Trade Center, which has only been established for a few months, and has brought a lot of tariff income to the Cham Po. There is also a small part of the income from toll taxes and so on.

On the 20th day of March of the 24th year, the people of Sita were wandering idle, and they were working hard every day to produce salt, and now a warehouse was full, and there was no trace of the fleet.

"Look, there's a ship in the distance!" One exclamation caused many onlookers to look, "Where? Where? ”

"yes, why didn't I see it."

"I saw it with this telescope in my hand, do you have it? You don't, of course you can't. ”

"Show me then." One snatched the binoculars and looked at it, "It's true, there's really a boat." ”

Everyone took turns to watch, and a few of them went back to inform Hou Zongsheng and other government officials, after all, it is not a trivial matter if someone comes, what if this is not a Cham person, but someone from another country.

In fact, they thought too much, if there was a country that coveted this land, I am afraid that it would have been occupied by other countries long ago, just like the Javanese, they must have driven south for so many years. The Javanese people must know about this continent, otherwise where did the yellow people in the north come from?

After Hou Zongsheng knew this, he was also fully prepared, preparing his weapons and preparing for the banquet at the same time. The boat slowly approached the coast, and the fleet belonged to Cham, and Nguyen Van Zhao also saw those people on the coast, so he approached it.

Everyone saw that it was Captain Ruan, so everyone welcomed Ruan Wenzhao excitedly, which made Ruan Wenzhao a little overwhelmed, so Ruan Wenzhao went up the river, and he wanted to dock the boat at the resettlement point to facilitate the unloading of supplies. People also hurried back to the immigration point to tell Hou Zongsheng the news of Ruan Wenzhao's return.

Hou Zongsheng was ready for battle, and when he heard that it was the arrival of the Cham fleet, everyone relaxed their guard and went to the port on the river bank to meet the arrival of the fleet.
