Win the Ding 1617

Both Suide Prefecture and Xinghua Prefecture are located in the northeast of Shizhou, facing each other from north to south.

Among them, Suide Prefecture can be divided into the coastal lowland, the Great Dividing Range and the western plain geographically.Almost the size of the entire Western Europe.In addition to several natural deep-water harbors of different sizes, there are rolling forests covering the vast wilderness.The rivers flowing vertically and horizontally have laid a solid natural foundation for the development of agricultural planting and animal husbandry.Named by officials as the river beach area between the Wolong River and the Murray River, it has become the most important wheat-growing area in Suide Prefecture, providing rations for tens of thousands of people. Although the yield per unit area is low, it has a large area and convenient irrigation.Seeing the gentle terrain and abundant water and grass in this area, some nimble immigrants had the idea of ​​raising sheep and grazing.The banks of the Marambiji River can be used as fruit, grape and vegetable production centers in the future; the western part of the plain is a semi-arid area, which can mainly be used to develop sheep farming; the Taiwan area mainly breeds cattle and sheep, and the Namoai Valley in the north is even more cotton. main producing area.

Not to mention Xinghua Prefecture.This place was snatched by Li Shouhan from the Dutch, and it is larger than Suide Prefecture.It's a pity that compared with Suide Prefecture's natural conditions for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, the environment here is much worse.There are many deserts, but there are salt lakes in the desert.The coastline stretching for more than [-] miles is more suitable for the development of fishing and shipbuilding industries.Although the vast pastures in the interior are not suitable for raising horses, they are a paradise for sheep.This is not counting the huge reserves of minerals that can be discovered.Not long after the land was snatched from the Dutch.Gold mines were discovered in the hinterland of Xinghua Prefecture, and immigrants flocked here like ants.

Thinking of the development prospects of the ten states in the future, Li Shouhan could not help but almost salivate.

I am thinking about whether to sell several properties of the Li family, such as the horse farm in Fulang Mountain and the pasture on Tamna Island, to the Hu family or the Li family and other groups who have relied on the development of industry, commerce and service industries. The guy who made a lot of money moved the main battlefield to Shizhou.

"I can allocate a sum of money from the inner government to Husi to buy the pastures and mines in Suide Prefecture and Xinghua Prefecture. In this way, millions of square kilometers of land will become my Li family's. It has been an industry for generations. Whether it is animal husbandry, mining, or wood processing, it is an industry that will continue to make money every day in the future!"

Now that the war in Europe is in full swing, and the war has been fought for 30 years, with the continuous improvement of the supply of high-quality and cheap weapons, ammunition, food and cloth by the Southern Cantonese Army, it seems that it is still intensifying.At this time, the foreign devils had no time to look around, so they took the opportunity to manage Nanyang and Australia as their own back garden.

"Looking back, I have to ask Meier to figure out how many horse farms and pastures there are. There are veterinarians who are good at breeding. Those who are willing to go to Shizhou can get twice the salary. Then they can let Longsheng do side business. Help buy some shepherd slaves from the Mongolian tribes outside the mouth to go to Shizhou for herding.”

With the technology of artificial breeding and the Mongolian herdsmen who are good at grazing, the most lacking are all kinds of stallions, mares, bulls, cows and sheep.

"Well, we can change the regulations. Ships to Shizhou must bring several pairs of cattle, horses, sheep, pigs and dogs." Thinking of transporting animal species to Shizhou.Li Shouhan immediately had an idea pop into his mind like a lightning flash!

"Old Six! Remember! Be sure to check carefully on the boat going to Shizhou, no rabbits are allowed on the boat!"

Just kidding, in the depths of Li Shouhan's mind, netizens have made up countless jokes about the catastrophe of rabbits on the Australian mainland.

On this continent where there were no rabbits, in Li Shouhan's impression, the number of wild rabbits had reached a terrifying number in the 30s, 100 billion!

In 1859, an English farmer named Thomas Austin came to Australia.He also carried 24 European rabbits, 5 hares and 72 quail in his bulky luggage.As a standard British gentleman.Austin has a special interest in hunting, so he freed the rabbits on his property near Geelong.In this way, in the second year, he can enjoy riding horses and shooting rabbits with other farmers in his free time.

At the time, no one could have predicted how fast rabbits would reproduce.Since Australia has no natural enemies such as eagles, foxes and wolves, European rabbits who come here find themselves in paradise: the climate is pleasant, the land is full of delicious green grass, and there are no traces of enemies around; in addition, the soil here is loose.It is also very convenient to make holes to make nests.Thus began a terrifying expansion with almost no limits.

From Austin's territory, the rabbits began to expand north and west. In 1866, in Capuda, South Australia, another group of rabbits were released into the wild, which greatly accelerated the expansion of rabbits.Since then, the descendants of these rabbits have spread in all directions at an average speed of 130 kilometers a year.By 1896, the rabbits' sphere of influence had expanded north to Queensland, south to South Australia, and across the continent to Western Australia.

On the endless Australian prairie, groups of rabbits greedily eat all kinds of grass, and ten rabbits can eat the pasture equivalent to one sheep.At the same time, they will also eat various shrubs and bark.In the dry season, they even climb up the branches to eat the younger leaves, dig holes and eat the roots, and cause patches of bushes and woods to become withered.It has been estimated that as few as four rabbits per hectare in the drier parts of Australia can deprive the land of its ability to regenerate a variety of plants.One of the most direct consequences of this is that the water and soil conservation capacity of most parts of the Australian mainland has declined sharply, and the phenomenon of water and soil erosion and soil degradation has become increasingly serious, causing irreparable losses to the local ecological environment.

Not only the destruction of the environment, but the native wallabies, bandicoots, etc. who live in the same small ecological environment as the rabbits are simply not competitive at all.This left the milder-tempered marsupials starving.It's been like this for decades.One of Australia's oldest and smallest kangaroos, the wallaby, ended up going extinct. In the mid-19th century, bilbies were found almost everywhere in South Australia. Due to losing the competition with rabbits for food, only a very small number of bilbies can be seen in central Australia today.According to statistics, it is mainly due to rabbits.There are dozens of extinct or nearly extinct native animals in Australia.

Ten rabbits are equal to one sheep.There are tens of billions of rabbits, but one billion sheep!How many jobs and wealth can be created?

Although I don't know why Li Shouhan strictly forbids rabbits from entering the Shizhou area, the old people like Zhang Xiaohu have developed a habit over the years, that is, to carry out the things Li Shouhan explained to the letter.In Zhang Xiaohu's words, it is: "Our lord is from the heavens and the stars. Can the things we see be compared with ordinary people like us? If I don't tell you why, I'm afraid of revealing the secrets of heaven!"

Immediately, he saluted with a long body and sang promises in his mouth, promising to order his subordinates to investigate strictly.Do not let a rabbit enter ten states.

After dealing with these matters concerning the future development plans of the ten states and maintaining and increasing the value of the industry at home.Li Shouhan's mind was clear, and a rather narrow thought popped up.

The Zhang Xiaohu in front of him is the one who cleaned up all the Spanish treasuries and warehouses on Luzon Island. How can he be the kind of good man and faithful woman?Giving away the horses, pigs and sheep under his command in vain?

When he thought of this, he bared his teeth at Zhang Xiaohu with a smirk, "I said Commander Zhang, you gave all the horses under your subordinates and the pigs, sheep, chickens and dogs in the cabin to the people of Shizhou. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who saves suffering and suffering!"

See Li Shouhan's expression.Zhang Xiaohu knew that the lord was in a good mood now, and he wanted to joke with him.

"I didn't plan to do anything at first, but seeing that the people are ruled by the lord, they begged bitterly, saying that there is indeed a shortage of horses, pigs and sheep here, so we shouldn't be too stern and selfless, right?!"

"Shaohe pretends to be a good person! You, Zhang Xiaohu, are the kind of person who can't afford to be early! Are you willing to do things that are not beneficial?" Li Shouhan teased Zhang Xiaohu.

have to!Nothing can hide from you!Zhang Xiaohu made such an expression.

"Our left-wing fleet has handed over all the pigs and sheep in the ballast. Naturally, we can't go back to empty when we return." Zhang Xiaohu muttered, "If you go back to empty, it will waste the capacity on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will be bad for navigation. Flutter!"

The so-called back-empty refers to the phenomenon of vehicles and ships returning empty-loaded.In the "Qinghui Code? Household Department? Cangchang Yamen" explained: "Everyone who should be paid, and those who should be paid, each check their money, and the sending and receiving are limited to return to empty." Reduce the phenomenon of returning to empty.The potential of the means of transportation can be brought into play, which is also what Li Shouhan has always emphasized and insisted on.This is the reason why the so-called thief does not leave empty space.

"Tell me, what did your left wing fleet bring back?"

It seemed that Zhang Xiaohu was also well prepared, and took out a stack of crumpled paper receipts from the inside of his clothes with a smirk on his face.The ink on it is still fresh, and it can be seen that it has just been filled out.

"This is the tax payment certificate issued by the customs to our left-wing fleet, my lord, please have a look!"

The first thing that caught Li Shouhan's eyes on the bill was a line of words: "One hundred thousand three hundred and sixty four stones of the best wheat!"

In addition to the huge amount of food, as for the dog's head gold and wood, they are all fragmentary numbers. It's not as good as this line of words that made Li Shouhan excited.

"Sixth, didn't you plunder all the rations of the people in ten states?!" Li Shouhan didn't dare to be careless, he coughed, the person in front of him added an idiom to the Spanish vocabulary, Zhang Xiaohu's looting!It is described as leaving no grass anywhere.He doesn't want to use this iron broom habit and method to Shizhou!This piece of land is considered to be a production area of ​​grain and animal husbandry, but at the moment, as Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The world is initially settled. Like a bird that has just learned to fly, its feathers cannot be pulled out; like a newly planted tree, it cannot be shaken." root, the important thing is to recuperate."

If Zhang Xiaohu was greedy and transported back all the food stored in Suide Prefecture and Xinghua Prefecture, I am afraid that all the hard work in the past few years will be in vain!

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu immediately yelled out loudly, "Zheng Tian Qu!"

"My lord! Anyway, we have been working under you for so many years! Those things should be done, those things should not be done, and the energy is used on our own people. The energy is used on outsiders. I, Zhang Laoliu It's still clear!"

"This trip to the sea, I cleaned all the large and small islands on the sea road from the Java Islands to the Shizhou Sea. It took me more than half a year. All the brothers were killed. But I never made a move on the people of our Nanyue Army. One finger! It is indispensable, and leave some daily use and spoils for our people!"

"These wheat are old grains allocated by the government and people from all over the ten prefectures from their own Siwucang and Changping granaries. The best wheat is harvested a year ago. Moreover, it is an official document issued by the government office of Suide Prefecture, discounted How much is determined by them, and the brothers in the left wing fleet of my navy did not ask for a price."

"Besides, when we came back along the way, we unloaded a lot of food in the warehouses of various supply points. The grain stored in the warehouse. There has never been a single bit of greed! If the lord does not believe it, you can order someone to go to the seat of your subordinates. Go to the ship and get the receipts issued by the officials of the various supply points, and then you can match the accounts!"

Zhang Xiaohu's elder brother walked on the road of no return step by step because he was not cautious enough in doing things back then, and in the end he was killed.Therefore, in the past few years, Zhang Xiaohu has deeply absorbed the lesson that his brother sacrificed his life for.Don't look at the superficial carelessness.However, the joints are absolutely unambiguous. The so-called private clerks rely on seals, and the thousand-year-old writing paper can speak.Zhang Xiaohu grasped this point extremely well.

And he also knew that the reason why Li Shouhan talked about these things was to a large extent in a joking sense, which belonged to the activities carried out when the relationship between the monarch and his ministers was relatively close.But it doesn't mean that no one will report these things to Li Shouhan.After all, 10,000+ stone wheat is also a large amount, and it is easy to make people jealous and sick in anyone's eyes.

"Lao Liu, you said that in the future, every port in Nanzhong will go to Suide Prefecture and Xinghua Prefecture in Shizhou to transport immigrants or patrol ships. When you go, try to bring as many horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs. The breed of chickens and ducks, how about bringing some wheat back on the way back?" Li Shouhan held the cinnabar pen in his hand and unconsciously scribbled on a piece of white paper.

"My lord, if you plan to make the ten prefectures like the state capitals of Nanzhong within a few years, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Zhang Xiaohu also traveled between Shizhou and Nanzhong many times. The gaps in the geographical environment, human environment, climate, etc. between the two countries are also quite insightful.Don't say anything else.All kinds of poisonous insects, beasts and strange animals in Shizhou alone are enough for immigrants to drink a pot.

The continent of Shizhou, because it has been isolated in the sea for millions of years, has never had biological communication with several continents, so a large number of primitive creatures have survived here.However, not only cute kangaroos and koalas live on this continent, but also poisonous spiders and red fire ants. Compared with jellyfish, the ferocious sharks in the sea are not worth mentioning.In front of countless jellyfish that have killed countless people, the shark with sharp teeth and jagged teeth is the old woman who eats fast and chants Buddha.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaohu's method for the development and construction of the ten states is similar to what Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi were doing in Java at this time. They are all steady and steady strategies.In addition to continuing to immigrate to the ten states, the route to the ten states must be fixed as soon as possible, and non-governmental organizations such as letter bureaus, car and horse companies, and boat companies must also intervene as soon as possible.

"These people are all involved, and the connections are getting closer and closer. Even if there are cunning people who plan to rely on the waves of the ocean to think that they are plotting against the sky, they can quickly find out and settle down in one fell swoop."

Zhang Xiaohu can't say the words to open new state capitals and Nanzhong places in Shizhou, including Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places to open air, mail, and even trade. , with Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places, and then completely turned Shizhou, the land called Huang Java in Zheng He's writings, into a solid rear base for the Southern Guangdong Army.

"And when these private ships sail back and forth, the Duke's government can clearly stipulate the following regulations. Each ship must carry a certain amount of animals and a certain amount of tools. When returning, wheat must be used as ballast."

These means are nothing but a copy of the compulsory import system enforced by the customs at Manga and Langkawi. All ships from the West must carry mares, stallions, wheat and cotton from India. There are no such mandatory imports. The materials are used as a stepping stone to enter the gate of Nanzhong, you just wait to pay more taxes!Of course, if you are lucky, and there is a person on board who holds an invitation letter from Galileo and others and has the customs clearance procedures with the official customs seal, your tariff can also be reduced as appropriate.However, how many people have such luck?Almost all Western ships obediently loaded horses, cotton and wheat all over Tianzhu to cover customs duties.

But Zhang Xiaohu didn't know what his opinion meant in the process of the Southern Guangdong Army's development of the ten states and completely turning this ancient wasteland into the Southern Guangdong Army's grain and rice warehouses, horse farms, wool piles, and mines.

When everyone was still planning for the New Year, the Household Division and the Industrial Division of the State Government jointly wrote a document to officially announce the route to the ten states and invite public bids. "Anyone who is capable can apply for a license for the round-trip route."

After the new year, Duke Li Shouhan himself raised a huge amount of money from the private wealth of the inner government to buy a large tract of land in the ten states from the household division. Since then, the Duke's Mansion has become the largest landlord in the ten states .

"Go to Shizhou to reclaim wasteland! There is no limit of [-] acres of land for each person, you can cultivate as you like!" (to be continued~^~)
