I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 603, The Sensational Yizhou
Faced with so many problems, Bao Xin was overwhelmed. He was a military general and didn't know much about government affairs, let alone straighten out the sugar industry chain by himself.It is difficult for him to make long-term planning, and he can only take one step at a time.

At this time, Bao Xin was glad that he had promoted Tian Feng. He had been an official in Jizhou for more than ten years, and then followed Yuan Shao to manage a population of several million people in Sili for a short time. Now Yizhou doesn't even have a population of 10. , managing this population is not a problem for Tian Feng at all.

So when Bao Xin asked him for advice, Tian Feng helped Bao Xin sort out the population needed at each stage of the entire sugar industry from the beginning, so that the entire industrial chain could run like flowing water without wasting manpower.At the same time, he found ways to improve the efficiency of the sugar factory. For example, after he knew that there were coal mines in the north of Yizhou, he immediately used Yizhou's small cost of transport ships to transport coal to solve the energy problem of the sugar factory. Burning the pot day and night consumes a lot of wood, and it also requires a lot of manpower. After making briquettes, it can save a lot of wood and greatly increase the production capacity of sugar.

Under Tian Feng's cleanup, the population of the entire Yizhou sugar industry chain remained less than 5000 people, and then the extra population was arranged by him to build new factories and new camps. After that, the production capacity can be expanded immediately here.

After Bao Xin's Flying Pigeon Biography came to Ji County, it also caused a sensation in the entire court!

Sugar is naturally valuable in Dagan. Precious honey candy costs more than a thousand dollars per catty. Not many people can afford it in Dagan, and even cheap stone honey costs more than a hundred dollars per catty. During festivals It is more than 200 yuan, which is more expensive than a stone of grain.The reason why it is so expensive is because there is no sucrose in Dagan, so it can only be transported to Dagan by Jiangnan!

Now Niu Gui knows that Yizhou can produce tens of millions of catties of stone honey, and the value of this batch of sugar alone is billions of dollars, which is more than the income or even a large state, so this is naturally not something to be taken lightly.

Niu Gui even found Xu Wei, and gave Xu Wei the Feige letter of Baoxin, and then asked: "When you are in power, sugar making is so profitable. Our investment in Yizhou has actually started to make a profit this year. The imperial court wants Increase investment in Yizhou, especially the sugar-making machinery, so we can't waste this batch of sugar cane!"

Niu Gui has now begun to expand the sugar cane garden in Fantasia Yizhou tenfold, and Yizhou can pay 100 billion in taxes a year, so that he has some money in his hands, and there is no way for Niu Gui to be the family. It is very difficult. Although the income of Dagan has risen to 500 billion yuan, the cost has not decreased, not to mention the infrastructure construction in various places.

Xu Wei’s administration also allowed Niu Gui to increase investment in education and medical care. He said that every county should have a medical clinic and a primary school, and the requirements are not low. The medical clinic requires 10 doctors and 100 patients to be hospitalized. , It can be said that it is completely the model of the Dagan battlefield hospital, but the tents are replaced by houses, but the cost has become even higher. A medical center will cost 1000 million yuan. However, the annual salary of 10 doctors is more than one million yuan, which is an annual investment. Now there are 1500 counties in Dagan, and if they have to follow this scale, it is equivalent to an extra ten dollars a year. Hundreds of millions of money.

And the primary school that the ruling government wants is not ordinary. There must be dozens of teachers, and it can accommodate thousands of students. Money, if Xu Wei's plan is not being rolled out slowly, there are dozens of medical clinics and schools now, and the cost is not too high.

He just wants to end his term as prime minister quickly, it is too difficult to be prime minister under the ruling hand.However, Niu Gui was surprised to find out that the letter from Feige sent by Baoxin this time seemed that the ruling plan might really come true. If Yizhou could hand over 100 billion yuan a year, it would be more than enough money to meet the needs of Dagan’s medical and medical services. Education expenses!
Now Niu Gui sees Xu Wei in a different way. It is an exhaustive strategy to govern. No wonder he dared to spend such a large price to build medical clinics and schools. It turns out that he has the confidence to govern.Sure enough, you shouldn't argue with the ruling party about money!
But Niu Gui didn't know that Xu Wei was also surprised. He asked Bao Xin to plant sugarcane in Yizhou. Naturally, he knew that sucrose was a profitable cash crop even in modern times, and it was easy to sell in this era. Yizhou has There will be no twists and turns in the development of this pillar, but Xu Wei would not have thought that Bao Xin would produce hundreds of millions of catties of sugar cane in half a year, so that the sugar factory he prepared in advance could not consume the sugar cane!They didn't even think that Yizhou would be profitable now, but that's not bad. With sucrose, Niu Gui and the others would naturally pay more attention to Yizhou.

He thought for a while and said, "Immediately send someone to quickly transport a batch of machinery for frying sugar and thousands of iron pots to Yizhou. We must not miss Yizhou's sugar production!"

Niu Gui thought for a while and said, "Yizhou can make billions of dollars from sugar production alone this year. If we transport more young and strong people to Yizhou and expand Yizhou's sugar industry several times, Yizhou can become another place where I can work hard." A mayi!"

Even now, Mayi’s tax revenue still accounts for one-tenth of Dagan’s. It can be said that it is the economic capital of Dagan. Niu Gui only pays so much attention now!

Xu Wei said: "It is still necessary to proceed step by step. Even if Yizhou is not self-sufficient in food now, not to mention that other daily necessities cannot be produced on the island. If too many people are transported, it may break the balance of the island. It will also increase our logistical pressure!"

Now there are only 40 mu of land on Yizhou Island to grow grain. Because it is newly reclaimed land, only 40 shi of rice has been harvested this year. If it is to be turned into white rice, it will be reduced by 30%. That is to say, Yizhou’s summer harvest is less than 2 shi of grain can barely feed less than [-] people.

Now, there are nearly 10 people working under Bao Xin alone. Yizhou can achieve its current development entirely by transporting food, and the current ironware, cloth, and various tools in Yizhou are not self-sufficient. , Everything has to be transported by the big dry.The logistics volume of [-] people is already very large. Xu Wei is worried that if the population continues to increase, it will affect the normal operation of the Dagan transportation network. Lots of supplies.

Niu Gui thought for a while and said, "Indeed, now Yizhou is self-sufficient except for salt, and everything else has to be done. Transporting too many people rashly will put a huge pressure on our logistics!"

Then Niu Gui looked at the map and said regretfully: "It would be great if Yangzhou is in our hands now. We can directly support Yizhou from Kuaiji County. This reduces the distance by 10 times, and the logistical pressure is much less!"

Xu Wei said with a smile: "We really occupy Yangzhou, so why build sugarcane gardens in Yizhou? Isn't it better to build sugarcane gardens in Yangzhou directly? After all, Yangzhou's infrastructure is more than a hundred times better than Yizhou!"

Xu Wei's words reminded Niu Gui, and he asked, "Government, can this sugarcane be planted in our interior, even in Xuzhou, so that it will be convenient for us to expand production capacity!"

"I'm not sure about this. Sugarcane is a product of the south. It needs an environment with a lot of sunshine and rain to grow. It's really unclear whether Xuzhou and Yuzhou can grow sugarcane!"

Xu Wei knows that sugarcane is a product of the south, and later generations seem to have many sugarcane industrial parks in the Yunguang area, and there are some sporadic sugarcane in the south where Xu Wei lives, but they are used for eating, not for squeezing sugar.

But thinking of sugarcane as a kind of fruit is also good, so I said: "You can try a small amount in Yuzhou and the south of Xuzhou!"

When Niu Gui heard that sugarcane is a plant in the south, he could only let go of the idea of ​​promoting it. However, after having sucrose as a cash crop, Niu Gui changed his mind about letting go of Yizhou, and began to pay attention to things. Bao Xin wants He stepped up to collect all the machines and cauldrons, and then loaded them on the fastest sea ship in Dagan, and transported them to Bao Xin at high speed!
Half a month later, a new batch of sugar refining masters and machinery were transported to the south of Yizhou, and a factory with a production capacity more than 10 times the original production capacity began to operate, and the sugarcane mountains in front of Bao Xin began to decrease!
Through this incident, Bao Xin has an intuitive understanding of Tian Feng's ability. From now on, he will hand over all the government affairs of Yizhou to Tian Feng, and he will only focus on the military affairs of Yizhou.

At the same time, the first batch of brown sugar landed in Youzhou, which caused a huge sensation. In the past, there was no sugar in Ji County, but it was only a few thousand catties in small batches. It was a sensation, so much brown sugar, even the people in Ji County saw it for the first time, and it was the high value of this batch of brown sugar, the first batch alone was worth 50 million yuan. million dollars.

This is even greater than the sensational effect caused by the discovery of Jinshan. After all, Jinshan is over when it is dug.But the sugarcane plantations in Yizhou have always been there, and they can earn billions this year, and they can still earn billions next year, and even more because of the expanded production capacity.

Dagan has been inquiring about sugar cane from top to bottom. After all, a barren land can earn billions of dollars. This happened only when the government occupied Mayi. There has been a transformation from a small county town to a capital city like Mayi, and now Yizhou seems to have such potential.

Of course, ordinary people don't care about the speed of Yizhou's development, they just want to know whether it is profitable to grow sugar cane in Yizhou!

Among the teahouses in Ji County!
A doctor of tea took out a piece of Jixian Daily and said to the following people: "The newspaper said that one mu of land in Yizhou can harvest 1000 catties of sugar cane in one season, and 1000 catties of sugarcane can yield 50 catties of sugar. Calculated at 90 yuan for a catty of brown sugar, the income for this mu of land is 4500 yuan!"

This figure immediately made the people in the teahouse exclaimed, the profit is too high, even if the land in Youzhou is fertile and fertilized, the yield of 5 shi per mu is already a rare figure, calculated according to a family of 500 mu of land, it is 100 Stone, according to the purchase price of 5 renminbi for Dagan grain, is only 2 renminbi, but struvite, farm tools, and taxes must be excluded.It is more than [-] points that can really be obtained.

In Yizhou, as long as 5 mu of sugarcane is planted, they can exceed their income of 100 mu in Youzhou. Everyone knows that Dagan is a state-owned land policy. Even the people in Yizhou will be allocated 20 mu of land for each household. , if they all grow sugar cane, the gap is close to 20 times, and they don't earn more than [-] yuan a year, how can this not make people jealous!
Immediately, someone was unconvinced and said: "This must be a lie. How could someone earn more than 20 yuan just by farming? It must be Yizhou who wants to immigrate. Using this method to deceive people is like deceiving us to go to Liaodong. It's like reclaiming land!"

But Dr. Cha said with a smile: "But many people who went to Liaodong at the beginning became rich. Ten percent of the wealthy businessmen who came to our Ji County are local tyrants in Liaodong. They don't talk about farming. You can earn thousands of dollars, which is comparable to cities in the Guanzhou like Jixian County, where it is difficult to see a 10-year-old tree!"

"Yes, there are indeed a lot of local tyrants from Liaodong and Wa Island in the past few years, especially the local tyrants from Wa Island. I can't get used to them. They throw gold at every turn, showing off, as if no one else has seen gold! "

This remark aroused condemnation from everyone. After Ji County became the capital of Daqian, the people of Ji County also had the pride of being an imperial city, but this pride was mainly hit by local tyrants from other places.

Dr. Cha said with a smile: "We live in Jixian, where everyone is stable, but at the same time it is difficult to get ahead, and places like Liaodong, Wadao, and Yizhou are almost barren lands, but such places are suitable for reckless rise. Everyone has some ideas of making contributions, but you can go to these places, maybe you can also fight for a fortune!"

"Just like Yizhou now, there may be nothing but brown sugar, but it will not necessarily lose to our Dagan County after a few years of construction. You can do the math, go to Yizhou to plant sugar cane, and earn hundreds of thousands a year. , in less than ten years, you will be able to earn more money than you can spend in your lifetime, and it is up to everyone to decide whether the ten years of hard work are worth it."

According to Dr. Cha, there are many people who have the idea of ​​immigrating to Yizhou. Many people are willing to strive for wealth in ten years!They are only afraid of doing useless work!
So from this day on, the immigration office in Dagan asked about moving to Yizhou every day.In the end, I heard that it is very difficult to go to Yizhou now, and you have to wait for a place to go, which aggravates the fact that ordinary people want to go to Yizhou.

Among them, the governors of the prefectures and counties, after knowing that Bao Xin was lucky enough to get a profitable property, also made friends with Bao Xintao one by one. They could not grow sugar cane, but they could help Bao Xin sell brown sugar for a small profit.
