I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Xu Lun couldn't believe it and said, "The Tianzhu people are here to do a great job!"

Shen Jianxin smiled and said: "Our fleet can go to Tianzhu, why can't the people from Tianzhu come to do it?"

"Actually, the Tianzhu people came to Dagan earlier than you imagined. When the first fleet of Dagan came back from Tianzhu, they brought several monks. They wanted to preach in Dagan, but it was a pity that the ruling party rejected their proposal. !"

Xu Lun said: "As far as the monks' virtues in India are concerned, how could the ruler agree to them!"

Shen Jianxin continued: "Don't look at them as magic sticks, but their knowledge is not bad, otherwise it would be impossible for the ruling party to hire them as teachers."

Then Shen Jianxin shook his head and said: "But in other respects, these Tianzhu people are much worse. I have only met a mathematics professor from Tianzhu. Can you believe that there are 18 people who serve him? Apart from thinking about problems related to mathematics , can’t do anything else, it’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a giant baby!”

Zhen Xing was surprised and said: "Back then, the top aristocrats in the Han Dynasty did not have such luxury. This Tianzhu man has come here in despair and has done a lot, and he still refuses to let go of his airs!"

Xu Lun was also surprised and said: "It's such a waste, the governor didn't drive them out of Jidu? How could the governor allow them to bring their servants to Jidu!"

Within the scope of Dagan, domestic slaves and servants are not allowed to reappear. Even if slaves come to the territory of Dagan, they will be forcibly abolished by Dagan.

Because Xu Wei, a big cadre in power, leads by example, and there is nothing difficult to serve around him, so this law is very strictly enforced.

And Xu Wei, who is in power, has set an example, and the senior officials and businessmen of the big cadres dare not violate this prohibition. Now there are basically no people who serve them among the high-level cadres.

The rich people and the big businessmen are big businessmen, at most they hire people, and they dare not have slaves. The feudal employment relationship like the previous life-and-death relationship has completely disappeared in Dagan.That's why Xu Lun was so surprised that Xu Wei could tolerate the way the Tianzhu people did.

Shen Jianxin explained: "Of course the ruling government does not allow slaves within the Dagan area, let alone in Jidu. Then these slaves from Tianzhu were forcibly released by the ruling government as soon as they came to Jidu. It's a pity that these Tianzhu Slaves came to foreign lands, did not rely on their original masters, and did not know how to survive, and they were raised and disabled by these nobles, and they only knew how to serve people, without any other skills."

"In this case, they can only follow their original masters. The only good thing is that they are now a little bit of an individual. In the past, the nobles of Tianzhu killed them and no one cared about them. Now the nobles of the Tianzhu dare to kill them. Let them pay for their lives. After even killing two Tianzhu nobles, these Tianzhu people know the seriousness of our legal work. Now they are all spending money to hire their own slaves to do things, and they dare not kill people at will.

"The more downcast they are, the more they want to put on airs. I saw a lot of the virtues of these elites in Jingzhou back then!"

Shen Jianxin continued: "This is not the key point. The key point is that they are all down and out, but they have a lot of wealth in their hands. Let's talk about this teacher from Tianzhu. He just came to Jidu and spent 1000 million yuan on big work. He bought a mansion like a small palace, and the salary given to him by the ruling party will definitely not be able to satisfy his current life. It can only be that he brought a lot of wealth from Tianzhu. It is said that when he came to Jidu, he packed a few gold and silver treasures Ten carriages."

"And this is not an exception. The Tianzhu people who fled to Jidu are generally wealthy. They have formed a new group of local tyrants in Jidu. But these people have no foundation in Dagan. Obviously, they also want to integrate into Dagan. Do it, you have to find a foundation to start a business. If you are good at eloquence, lure them to Jingzhou to invest in tea gardens or mulberry gardens. Ten billion yuan should be easy to get. Then you don’t have to worry about it. The development of Jingzhou lacks development funds."

Xu Lun said happily: "With your words, I finally don't have to wander around Jidu like a headless chicken!"

Then he sighed: "It's really difficult to develop the place!"

At this time, Zhen Xing said: "Although I have never been to Jingzhou, judging from the current development trend of Dagan, maritime trade will become more and more important. There are nearly 1/5 of Dagan in the South China Sea." The population market, and the Nanhai and Dagan markets are highly complementary, whether it is brown sugar or various spices, precious wood, cash crops and fruits, all of which are needed by Dagan.”

"The islands in Hainan also need all kinds of metal tools and farm implements, food and cloth and other basic living materials, and there are Tianzhu and Tianfang behind them. As our sea ships go farther and farther, more and more Many places have become our commodity markets. Although the risk of sea transportation is relatively high, the cost of transportation is the lowest, so when sea transportation becomes more and more important, the Dagan coast will become more and more prosperous."

"So in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with the government's key investment on the coast, because only the development of shipping can accelerate the development of Jiangnan. In the next few decades, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other coastal counties will take advantage of the sea. This wave of trade is developing rapidly.

According to the situation in these years, rich places will absorb the population of poor places. It is foreseeable that the population of Jingzhou will be absorbed by Yangzhou. The gap will get bigger and bigger.The biggest gap between Yangzhou and Jingzhou is that Jingzhou has no way to join the tide of maritime trade. "

"I think Jingzhou wants to keep up with the development of Yangzhou. First, build a large number of wharves along the Yangtze River. Use the wharves as a point to open up the connection between the Yangtze River and shipping, and find a way to join the maritime trade.

The second point is to find a way to build canals, rest Jingzhou's river channels, open up the connections between various parts of Jingzhou, and speed up the development of infrastructure in the interior of Jingzhou. The current situation in Jingzhou is that it is better to develop the river transportation industry than the development of rails and roads, because Almost all the counties and counties in Jingzhou can be connected by rivers. Instead, they are roads and rail facilities. Because Jingzhou is vast, the degree of development is low, and the population is insufficient, the cost is greater than that of canals. "

"The last thing is to rely on Jingzhou's geographical advantages to develop economic crops. It is impossible for you to fight for industry in the north with decades of foundation. Moreover, as the infrastructure in the Central Plains is getting better and better, railroad tracks and roads are laid inside Dagan. Well, the industrial advantages of the north will become bigger and bigger, without the support of the imperial court, it is impossible for you to compete with the north in terms of industry, you can only find ways to develop some economic crops and accumulate capital."
