Villager of Daming

Chapter 892 Rabbit Paradise Is Far Away

"People can buy a watch worth 100,000 yuan. Do you think life is good? In fact, our Ming Dynasty is better than them when it comes to using tools."

Zhu Wentian recalled his knowledge of world history. There was a war in Europe, and dynasties appeared and disappeared in the food-rich areas, including the Umayyad dynasty, which was long gone.

Indonesia, Malaysia and other places are still small countries and tribes, and they have fought with each other before.

It feels like war has never disappeared in the world and is fought all the time.

"Yes! If they are poor, who do we sell all the things we export to? It feels like they are richer in products and have more good things than us."

When I thought about it, I found that the things outside were simply whatever I wanted.

In the past, if you wanted jewelry or something, the barbarians would have it. Later, if you asked for gold and silver, the barbarians would give you gold and silver, not to mention pepper, rhinoceros horns, ivory and so on.

Then it was changed to grain, and the Yi people began to send grain to the Ming Dynasty by boat.

The outside is simply a treasure house. Whatever the Ming Dynasty needs, the outside will provide it.

Zhu Wentian handed over another bunch of sheep tendons: "That's the sum of many places. Some places have a lot of gold, so the Yi people buy gold there. Some places have a lot of food, so the Yi people buy food."

This is the purpose of the domestic infrastructure that our Ming Dynasty is working hard to build. Only with infrastructure can we have convenient logistics.

No matter what a place needs, merchants are indispensable to transport it from all over the Ming Dynasty. "

"So much money has been made by the Yi people. It's not like they exchanged things for us for nothing. They are guaranteed to make a lot of profits."

The chief took the string and began to feel sorry for the money made by others.

According to his wish, others would sell to him at cost price, and then he would add dozens or hundreds of times profit to the takeout.

Zhu Wentian picked up a handful of bean curds and put them on the shelf to bake: "You can't just look at others making money, there are also risks, and it goes without saying that Haixing's risks are.

When they went to various places to exchange, people from other places might rob their things and kill their people.

They have to have their own armed forces and at the same time have good relations with people in other places, which is not that simple. "

Zhu Wentian knew that even if the Yi people were honest when trading in the Ming Dynasty's shipping department, in fact, those people could do anything outside, as long as there was profit.

They had done this before in the Ming Dynasty. The official trade items were expensive, so they contacted the common people to smuggle them.

The predecessor of Danqing Box Rice Restaurant, Sihai Store, sold the shop and joined the smuggling business. I don’t know what happened in the end, no one paid attention to him.

Anyway, there are no smugglers anymore, and many people are watching! I very much hope that someone will do this, then report it and make a fortune, achieve financial freedom, and reach the pinnacle of life.

People who didn't engage in smuggling all went fishing and drying fish, and they made a lot of money. It was hard work, and it was more than what they earned from working in Nanjing.

"I know! It was not easy for our village to do business in the beginning. We can obviously make good things, but we dare not sell them in large quantities for fear of being remembered.

When I was shopping in Xuancheng County, I was worried that it would be bad if I bought too much, so I went to Dangtu County again, going back and forth and giving things and money to others.

Those days were spent on tenterhooks, alas! I finally got through it, and as long as I didn't touch things I shouldn't touch, I could be stable. "

The director expressed his understanding, recalling the scene as if it were yesterday and feeling like a dream.

"The current external trade is also a plan for the future of the Ming Dynasty. According to Zhu Yuan...his majesty's enfeoffment method, all the good places in the Ming Dynasty belong to his descendants. Either some people see that something is wrong and start to cut off the land, and in the end, they would rather fight within themselves. , and don’t go outside to develop.

The land outside was occupied, sealed, and people driven out. In fact, with the development of steam engines, the distance was not that far away.

In an area as large as Helin, or further north, where the weather is cold only for a period, you can still grow potatoes.

The current location of the Japanese country is an entire island, and there are not many people on the north side. It's cold! All concentrated in the central part.

The large southeastern island farther away is large enough to seal thousands of people. There are only a small number of indigenous people there, which is suitable for farming. The seasons are opposite to ours.

You can throw extra-born royal members over to play with koalas, and you can also practice boxing with kangaroos..."

Zhu Wentian paused as he spoke, moved the grilled skewers to the side where there was no fire, stood up, took a pen and paper, and drew a koala and a kangaroo.

“This one is called a koala, this one is called a kangaroo, and the leaves that koalas eat are called eucalyptus, which are poisonous and require a lot of sleep to metabolize.

Kangaroos will put their babies in the front belly pouch and raise them, and then release them when they are older...

There are other things that we don’t have here. There are a lot of plains over there. If you raise rabbits, there will be endless rabbits to eat. There are no rabbits there now. "

The chief looked at the picture carefully and nodded: "Can we raise bamboo rats there? Isn't it better to just raise rabbits?"

"There is no bamboo there. It needs to be introduced from elsewhere. The main problem is the soil. And the bamboo doesn't grow very well there. Rabbits! Try not to get there. Of course, our people will be fine if they get there.

When there are too many rabbits, we can make a fortune by eating them, or making them dry, adding rabbit skins and other things, and shipping them out.

Rabbits have no natural enemies there. Looking at the reproduction rate of rabbits, they can multiply hundreds of times in a few years.

If you bring a thousand pairs of rabbits, it will take three years! There is enough rabbit meat for 100,000 people without any worries. "

Zhu Wentian smiled and talked about Australian rabbits, which the Anglo-Saxons would not eat. There are such good places in Ming Dynasty, and they have already started selling them for takeout, so they have to raise them in cages themselves.

Li Chang: "..."

"Hanhan, can we bring rabbits over there? Then there will be rabbits all over the place and all the grass will be eaten up, right? I think it would be better to raise cattle and sheep, but not bamboo rats. It's scary, it's too scary."

He realized what a good thing it was, rabbits couldn't reproduce too fast.

"It's early! Don't think about immigrating within a few years, unless you set up a military base there. There are good abalones there and there are many mines.

The life of the indigenous people there is not very good and they cannot use it. If it were our people, especially the craftsmen, it would be a fairy-like life there.

There are no natural enemies even for rabbits there, so why bother talking about people there? There is no need to worry about being attacked by wild beasts. The local wild beasts are few and weak and are no match for humans, even with previous weapons. "

Zhu Wentian has always had special thoughts about Australia. It was a waste to give that place to a group of criminals.

"Then hurry up. We are short of everything in the Ming Dynasty, even food grown locally! We have many ships. We can transport them back in batches and store them for nine years."

The head of the village was worried. Remember that in a place, raising rabbits can raise... no, without raising them, they can become disasters and scare people to death.

　happy New Year to all!
