I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 349, Liaodong Development Bonds
The old man Wang said helplessly: "Shuai Qu, even though Liaodong has the potential as you said, it costs dozens of times more to immigrate to Liaodong than to immigrate to Jizhou. Now our finances are supporting the immigration to Jizhou, and there is no spare energy to go to Liaodong to cultivate! Why don't we develop Liaodong after we emigrate to Jizhou?"

Immigrants to Jizhou are easy and convenient, and there are three gates in Bingzhou to enter Jizhou. The nearest place can reach Jizhou by walking a hundred miles, which is only a few days away. Frequent, sparse population is suitable for immigration, and the land has only been abandoned for a few years, and it can be easily reclaimed. It can be said that the cost of immigrating to Jizhou is extremely low.

However, if the people of Bingzhou want to immigrate to Liaodong, they have to walk thousands of miles across the entire Liaodong to Guangyang County, and then take a boat to Liaodong County. This is not only a long distance, but also more than ten times the cost of immigration!Obviously, for Old Man Wang and the others, investing limited resources into Jizhou, restoring food production in Jizhou, and ensuring the food security of the Tengjia Army is the most important thing!
Wang Ge also whispered: "Shuai Qu, it's already April, if we really arrange for reclamation, I'm afraid that the soldiers for reclamation will arrive in Liaodong in May, and the land reclamation will be in June. In Liaodong, planting in June Nothing can be harvested! If tens of thousands of people are arranged to pass by, we will have to raise them for a year. Instead of raising them in Liaodong for a year, it is better to spend the money and food in Jizhou, and we can arrange more than a hundred thousand people to resume farming. Give out hundreds of thousands of shi grains!"

Xu Wei thought for a while but said: "As long as we arrange it properly, we should be able to speed up our journey to Liaodong, and strive to reach Liaodong in the middle of April, and try to reclaim the land as much as possible, sow grain in May. If we can't grow wheat, we can also grow soybeans. You must know that the economic value of planting soybeans can be three times higher than that of grain! Pressing soybean oil can even earn 4 times more!"

The Tengjia Army has always had the tradition of planting soybeans to raise land, and the economic value of soybeans is much higher than that of wheat. Of course, given the current situation of the Tengjia Army, it is impossible to plant any economic crops on a large scale. After all, people will starve to death. , of course, is to grow the staple food of wheat.

But going to Liaodong is different!There is a lot of wasteland there, and planting soybeans as a cash crop makes it easier to speed up the development of Liaodong. Xu Wei can remember that soybeans in later generations are basically produced in the three eastern provinces, and the quality is also the highest!

Of course, money is also a big problem. Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "I will get a Liaodong development bond. I will issue 10 billion yuan in the first phase, with an annual interest of [-] cent. There is so much money that is enough to accommodate these soldiers. Such a big deal, Zhen An and the others should want it!"

Although the interest of a penny is not high, but the amount is large, the earning is more. Although the usury of the big man is more than doubled, but basically they are not repaid, there will be a lot of dead debts, and they have to raise thugs So they don’t make a lot of money. Most of the usury they lend is not for making money, but for annexing land and controlling the people to become their serfs!Just like the cartoons I watched when I was a child, as long as I owe usury, my children and grandchildren will not be able to pay it off, so that my children and grandchildren will all be slaves.

It is impossible in the world to release 10 billion usury loans and earn 10 billion money. If there is such a good thing, I am afraid that the Lingdi would have done it by himself!

On the territory of the Tengjia Army, due to the widespread popularity of money shops, the loan sharks on his territory were either hanged to death by Xu Wei or went bankrupt, and the interest on the loan was also reduced to one cent by Xu Wei, so now there is one cent Interest is also considered a good deal!

Xu Wei strongly supported the development of Liaodong, and even came up with a Liaodong bond. Old man Wang and the others had to agree that while resuming production in Jizhou, they would immigrate and settle in Liaodong!
Wang Ge even immediately arranged for the tribes of Bingzhou to become Liaodong's field soldiers!These soldiers were all recruited in Yanmen County, because only the recruits in Mayi can meet Xu Wei's required efficiency and arrive in Liaodong in the shortest time!

And the people in Mayi heard that they could join the Tengjia Army, and immediately joined the army excitedly, because the treatment of the Tengjia Army is very high, and they also arrange jobs after retiring. It can be said that joining the army is equivalent to finding a job for the rest of their lives. up.Even in a wealthy place like Mayi, the enthusiasm of the troops to support the army is very good!

So 10 recruits were recruited in 2 days, and then they spent [-] days traveling all the way down the Sanggan River to Tianjin, and then boarded the big ship to Liaodong!
When these soldiers saw the towns that were getting farther and farther away, they became more and more suspicious. When the surroundings became completely ocean world, the recruits finally couldn't bear it, and they found the officer who brought them into the army and asked: "Ten Commander, we Where are we going here, to deal with the big man, we should sail south, why do we seem to be marching north now?"

The head of the village said unhappily: "If you really want to fight a big man, you can't fight in this season of spring plowing, and you are still looking for recruits!"

The recruit asked in surprise, "Then where are we going?"

The head of the village said irritably: "Liaodong, you are all field soldiers, and you are going to Liaodong for reclamation!"

The recruits were all surprised: "Why are you farming soldiers? We have already farmed enough! Why do you need to farm after you become a soldier?"

The recruits in this area are basically recruited from the countryside, so they can be regarded as having some farming experience!But they joined the army just because they didn't want to farm, and they didn't expect to return to the fields again!

There are also recruits who are not convinced: "I want to go to the battlefield, I want to fight the traitors!"

The head of the village yelled: "Why are you arguing? Didn't you guys read the recruitment notice! It clearly states that this is the recruitment of field soldiers, and field soldiers are not farming soldiers! Now if you want to quit, you will be dealt with as deserters!"

These new recruits really don't know, they think that being a soldier means fighting with a sword, and whoever fights will have troops in the fields!

Xu Wei has experienced this feeling of being fooled before. He thought he was a soldier, playing with guns, driving tanks, and blowing cannons, but he didn't know that there were soldiers on guard!
After the chief of the recruits yelled like this, all the recruits were too frightened to ask questions!
Five days later, their seaboat entered Liaodong Bay all the way and arrived at a wharf in Wen County!The pier is very simple, built of wood, but it is more than enough to dock these troop carriers!

Liu Hu even personally received these recruits, let them rest for a day, and then arranged a sumptuous meal for these field soldiers, so that they could feel the enthusiasm of the Liaodong people.

Only then did they take them to the resettlement sites that had already been prepared. Of course, these resettlement sites are also very simple, and they are all wooden houses built with logs, which can barely shelter from the wind and rain, but the environment is like this, and it is beyond Liu Hu's desire to want a better one. Ability range!
And these new recruits have not yet mastered the weapons, but first used farm tools to open up wasteland. This kind of recruit career has made many people cry secretly. This is not the life in the barracks they want. If they knew it, they might as well stay in Mayi to farm.You must know that in the territory of the Tengjia Army, Mayi is the best-developed and wealthiest territory. Now these recruits are coming from the richest place to the poorest place one by one. Such a gap will be unacceptable for a while!But now they can only stay in Liaodong to finish their training!

The story was divided into two parts. After Zhen An and the others found out about Xu Wei’s Liaodong Development Bond, these big businessmen sensed the business opportunity. Don't say that the current business environment is not good, it is not easy to find a profitable project!
So these businessmen went to Ji County one by one, wanting to inquire about the development of bonds, but did not find much useful information, and then Zhen An, as a representative of these big businessmen, found Xu Wei!
After seeing Xu Wei, Zhen An immediately saluted and said, "You are really more and more prestigious in power!"

Xu Wei supported Zhen An, let him sit down and said with a smile, "We are old friends now, so there is no need to be so polite. What do you want to see me this time?"

Zhen An laughed and said, "It's not about Liaodong's development of bonds. I heard that you are going to raise 10 billion yuan to develop Liaodong. I also want to sell a share. I don't know if this bond can make money?"

Xu Wei said: "One dividend a year, you have to buy 1000 million, and you can earn 100 million a year!"

But Zhen An shook his head and said, "Shuai Qu, your interest is too little. My textile factory made [-]% of its profit last year, and I can earn three times the money if I invest it in the textile factory. Your interest is not enough to attract people. Buy!"

Xu Wei said calmly, "I'm afraid you won't even earn [-]% of the money this year, right?"

The textile industry has long passed the stage of huge profits. This may be a drawback of large-scale industrial production. The textile industry has always been the fastest-growing industry among the Rattan Army. In the past 10 years, it has basically reached its limit.

The world is chaotic, and now the most stable market in the entire Mayi textile industry is the territory of the Tengjia Army. Although the profits of other people's territories are high, the risks are extremely high. If you are not careful, you will disappear with people and goods, and these years of wars I also beat the poor big man, and everyone can't live anymore. Naturally, I don't have time to think about clothes. The market for the textile industry is shrinking. Last year, because of the war, there were 140 million people in the rattan army. Market, let the textile industry return to its former glory.

But after the war ended, the whole market came to a standstill. The wool cloth that was sold very well in the past is hard to sell now. It is difficult for everyone to lower the price. Some people who dared to take risks brought their own caravans. In the Central Plains, those who like stability simply disbanded their own textile factories to reduce their losses.Then invest in other high-profit industries, such as excavating struvite, and fishing, especially the fishing industry, which has now become a new outlet on the territory of the Tengjia Army.

However, although these new industries have high profits, the plates are not big enough, and the output value of struvite is only a few hundred million yuan, while the fishing industry with a little more is only more than 20 billion yuan in output value. Compared with the wool cloth industry, which has an output value close to [-] billion yuan, it can be It's completely different!On the whole, the business of the Fujiko Army is now in decline!
If Xu Wei hadn’t been immigrating to places other than Bingzhou, and the Tengjia Army’s economic environment was still dominated by state-owned factories, the war would have been victorious, and every piece of land seized was equivalent to seizing important production materials. Delaying the outbreak of the crisis, I am afraid that the world's first economic crisis has already erupted!
Therefore, it is very difficult to make money in the textile industry now. Zhen An has a relationship with a big man, and Zhen Ju is still a captain of Sili in a big man. He can sell goods to a big man, but the profit he makes is barely less than a layer!
Now Zhen An is waiting for the economic boom, and he knows it will come soon, and it may not even take a year. As long as Jizhou has a good harvest and the people have money, the textile industry will have a market of 400 million more people !

Of course, this year is particularly difficult for Zhen An. In his opinion, if he does not lose money, he is making money. From this point of view, the Liaodong Development Bond is a good deal for Zhen An!

Of course, bargaining is still necessary, Zhen An thought for a while and said: "The size of the ruling Liaodong area is comparable to that of Jizhou. I am afraid that 10 billion yuan for the development of such a large piece of land will be a drop in the bucket. Our Mayi Chamber of Commerce can use 30 billion yuan to help. Qu Shuai develops Liaodong, but the interest will increase to [-]%!"

The extra interest of 300 million is not too high. In Liaodong, even selling wood can afford it. It’s just that the development of Liaodong needs a lot of money as Zhen An and the others said, and the merchants of the Tengjia Army The class has been growing day by day under Xu Wei's training over the years. You can see how much money they have in their hands just by looking at how much they can lend Xu Wei [-] billion!
Therefore, the development of Liaodong needs the support of these businessmen. The interest of 200 million yuan does not seem high now, but Liaodong needs hundreds of billions of capital investment, and the interest of [-] billion is very terrible. This is equivalent to the people of Liaodong. An and the others have worked part-time jobs, and it is easy to train Zhen An and the others to become financial businessmen. In Xu Wei's view, such people are pure blood-sucking insects and enemies of industrialization, so Xu Wei would rather that Zhen An and the others make money in industry than See them make money financially!
Xu Wei thought for a while and said, "For 30 billion yuan, I will give you 3 million in interest after one year!"

Zhen An frowned upon hearing this!

But Xu Wei immediately said: "I plan to plant soybeans in Liaodong, and use these soybeans to pay off your interest and capital! The price will be calculated according to the price in Youzhou?"

Zhen An was surprised: "Is this true?"

Xu Wei said calmly: "Of course it is true!"

No wonder Zhen An was so surprised. Soybeans are worthless. Based on Xu Wei’s strong food protection price, the price of soybeans is about 300 yuan, and two stones of soybeans per mu are only 600 yuan. Xu Wei wants to plant 50 mu in Liaodong Soybeans will be able to repay these debts!

The really valuable thing is soybean oil, because Xu Wei made the iron pot in advance, and all kinds of fried dishes, hot pot, teppanyaki and other delicacies of later generations were made by Xu Wei. It can be said that Xu Wei's time travel made the big man Cuisine goes beyond 2000 years.

And these delicacies are indispensable for the existence of various oils, so the price of oil has skyrocketed in the territory of the Fujika Army. Soybean oil is a very popular oil because it needs to be fertile, but it costs 50 yuan a catty, and it is delicious. The lard costs hundreds of dollars, which is close to the price of a stone of grain!These days lard is the best delicacy!No matter whether it is in the Dahan or the Rattan Army, it is not a high-level person who can't afford it!
