I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 711, full of grievances

Xu Wei is also helpless. Trains and tractors represent the future. Even the current inefficient trains can carry more than 100 horses.

The train only needs a one-time investment, and the cost of burning coal later is not very high, while the horse not only has a high investment, but also the cost of feed for 100 horses far exceeds the cost of coal, not to mention the death of a horse. Huge expenses, it can be said that in terms of cost performance, the train far exceeds the Fuma.

You must know that Dagan now has a track network of tens of thousands of miles, and in order to maintain this track network, there are hundreds of thousands of horses running on the track, and millions of logistics personnel maintain this track. The feed money is more than the food expenses of millions of troops. It can be said that although the track of Daqian is advanced, it is also a huge gold swallowing beast. It is difficult for ordinary feudal countries to maintain the track.
Although the investment in trains and rails is high, they are far more expensive than rail carriages in terms of cost performance. Now there are only a dozen locomotives in the whole Dagan, but they have replaced thousands of horses. The number will definitely continue to decrease!
Replacing the backward with the advanced is an inevitable process of development, and it is impossible for Xu Wei to stop this process, but this process is a great harm to the herdsmen in the desert. He can only remind the herdsmen in advance and let them change the direction of breeding breeds, just like cattle. It can be transformed into beef cattle and dairy cows, and sheep can also be transformed into raw materials for barbecue and hot pot, or become raw materials for textile industry.However, war horses can only be obtained by various advanced machines continuously. This is an irreversible trend!
Xu Wei stayed here to discuss with these members of the desert for three days, planning for them to change the industrial chain of the desert, and now he is starting to think of ways to develop dairy cows, develop the dairy industry, and sell farm cattle to the Jiangnan area more deeply. In the past, the land in the Central Plains was flat, and there were steam tractors and other large-scale machinery at that time, but there were many hills in the south of the Yangtze River, and the land was small. It is difficult for large tractors to penetrate into the south of the Yangtze River within a short period of time. In the next few decades, it will be the largest market for desert cattle. !

After Xu Wei formulated the development plan for the desert, the members of Jiangnan also found Xu Wei!

The governance belongs to everyone, it is impossible for you people in the desert to occupy the governance all the time!

After such words have been said, Xu Wei can only go to the Jiangnan Guild Hall to visit these congressmen from Jiangnan!
Because Jiangnan is a newly occupied territory, it is of course impossible for Xu Wei, a member of the powerful family, to select them as councilors. Therefore, most of the councilors in Jidu who came this time came from the Dagan military, and many of them were even Xu Wei's old subordinate!
They were happy to see Xu Wei: "Government, you are finally here, otherwise we thought you had forgotten us old subordinates!"

Xu Wei looked at them and smiled, "How could I forget you!"

At this time, a member of Jingzhou took out a piece of armor and said: "This is a local specialty of my hometown. The seven dragon armor is made from the skin of seven dragons. The real dragon emperor is in power. It is most suitable to wear this kind of dragon armor!"

Xu Wei took the armor, and found that it was the armor of the dragon, but the armor of the crocodile skin, but the crocodile skin was extremely strong, and it was first-class in terms of defensive power, and it was only inferior to the iron armor!
Xu Wei took the armor and said: "Go to my house to get money at night. You know the rules of my work. If you don't take people's stitches, you won't let me make mistakes!"

Even Xu Wei said that, and it was hard for them to refuse!

A group of people entered the hall, and after the host and guest were seated separately, Xu Wei smiled and said, "You are lucky to be able to settle down in Jiangnan. I have heard the name of Jiangnan Misty Rain in Jidu. This is the best place in the world!"

At this time, one of Xu Wei's old subordinates sighed: "What's the matter! I don't know who gave the ruling nonsense. When we went to Jiangnan, there were swamps everywhere. This is the relationship between Liu Bei's development of Jiangnan for more than ten years. Otherwise, we can cross the Yangtze River. You can see the swamp!"

Another person was also full of grievances and said: "You threw us to the south of the Yangtze River in power. We don't have a share in the good things, and there are a lot of bad things. The fields developed by Liu Bei and the Jiangnan gentry were all distributed to ordinary people. If you want to cultivate, you need to reclaim the wasteland and dig the swamp yourself.”

"What is the environment in the wild in the south of the Yangtze River? If you are in power, can you believe that tigers live together in groups. When we cleared a mountain, we drove out several tigers. The mountain is not safe, and the water is not safe. Just now The local products we are talking about are really not modest. In the Central Plains, they are still mythical dragons, but you can see them in any pool in the south of the Yangtze River. If you don’t pay attention to them, they will drag you into the water! There are also those at the turn of spring and summer. Mosquitoes are even more frightening, and many of us have already died from the mouths of these beasts, that is, from the plague brought by mosquitoes! How can such a place be taught well!"

Another congressman also complained: "In the past two years, we have cleared 10,000+ wild animals in the south of the Yangtze River, and wiped out tens of thousands of dragons in the water, but now it is only barely safe in crowded places, a little far away from our residence. Anywhere is very unsafe!"

"Originally, we also wanted to concentrate our manpower to clean up the swamps around Yunmengze. At any rate, the construction of Nanjun and Changsha County is similar to that of ordinary counties in the Central Plains. For one thing, there are many projects in the south of the Yangtze River, and half of the construction will not be able to continue!"

After speaking, these people all looked at Xu Wei with aggrieved faces!

Jiangnan can be said to be the place with the lowest level of development in the entire country. It occupies half of the country but only has a population of more than 1000 million. There are even more beasts than people. It can be said that the current Jiangnan and the place of wealth in Xu Wei’s impression of Jiangnan are completely the same. It's two different things.

Originally, such a barren land would not frighten the large-scale reclamation soldiers, either to build places or to reclaim fields.

It's not that they haven't done it before. To put it bluntly, the soldiers spend more time farming than holding swords. Farming is what they are best at.

Unfortunately, half a year ago, when Xu Wei got the order, they were directly prohibited from continuing to increase the project of reclamation of lakes and fields, and many people had great opinions.So this time they came to find Xu Wei to complain!

After Xu Wei understood what they said, he apologized and said: "I hurt you by mistake, but the court can't do anything about it. You are also clear about the rise in prices half a year ago. It can be said that the local government has lost control. If the court does not forcefully stop this The situation, I am afraid that the price rise will be even more fierce!"
