Poluguo was the first place to find coffee trees, and Shengdengguo was the second place. Maybe there are more places to have this coffee tree. There are certainly some in the African land farther west. Most of the climate should be able to grow coffee. In the future, the coffee industry will have boundless prospects.

After a short stay, Li An chose to leave. The next stop was Koguruo, which is also a very small country. However, this small country is not on the Sumatra island, but on the coastal location of Eurasia.

This location is probably in the area of ​​Thailand and Burma in later generations. It is a very important location and an important location in the busy Malacca Strait. Unfortunately, because no deepwater port has been built, this area has never attracted attention from future generations. Develop.

But the shipping vessels of the Great Tang era are relatively small vessels, and do not need a particularly powerful deep-water port. Therefore, Ge Guluo country also has a good development opportunity, and can fully use the east wind of the Great Tang to open routes to let itself get Great development.

Along the way, Li An is really busy. Of course, the harvest is also very good. The political parties in the countries along the way all agreed to cooperate with Great Tang and are willing to be the younger brothers of the Great Tang Empire. This is very good. It is also the only option for these small countries.

The only reason why Great Tang is to include all the countries along the route into the cooperation framework is because the small countries that have cooperated across it will be more beneficial to the Great Tang Empire.

In this way, the Great Tang merchants have more choices. They can choose any small country to invest in. The places that need to be supplied through are also rich enough to supply fleets anytime, anywhere.

The most important point is that these small countries can form a competitive relationship, which is a good thing for the Great Tang Empire.

When there is only one advanced power in the world, and the remaining small countries are backward countries, the days of this powerful country are very good, and the days of a large group of weak countries are relatively tight.

In terms of cooperation, the strong countries can only bring inferior technologies to the weak countries. In this way, all the weak countries have mastered these technologies and compete with each other, so that the strong countries can obtain relatively cheap primary products. After simple processing, this primary product can be transformed into a high-end product.

Because there are no competitors, advanced products made by strong countries can be sold at a very high price, allowing the majority of poor countries to pay, thereby further maintaining their own strength, and the gap with backward countries will also widen.

Li An has the deepest memory of the Western powers in later generations. They took the lead in the industrial revolution and colonization of the great voyage at an early time, so they began to rise early.

After their rise, they began to bully backward countries, plundered resources from backward countries on a large scale, and bought a lot of social wealth through low-cost buying and high-price selling.

And because the Western powers have entered a virtuous circle, leading backward countries have always been unable to catch up with them, their products have always been in a leading position, and they have always been able to maintain their advantages, leaving backward countries helpless.

For example, backward countries can only sell backward agricultural products and primary industrial products, and the profits are extremely meager. As long as the price is slightly higher, the powerful countries will not buy, and instead choose to buy cheaper products, but they produce high-end products, but they can sell The price is dozens of times, which is no different from grabbing money.

The Great Tang Empire is now a sinful power, with the most advanced technology, can produce high-level products that many weak countries cannot produce, and thus can sell high prices, while the vast backward countries can only maintain the most basic low profits. The more cooperating small countries, the more favorable the Great Tang Empire.

With the arrival of Li An, the Great Tang Empire has mastered the first-mover advantage and is therefore in a better position, and many of the technologies developed by Li An can sell tens of times to 100 times the profit, such as glass balls This kind of item is actually very worthless, but it is because others can’t make such a high-tech transparent glass ball, so the glass ball can be sold at an extremely high price.

The cooperation is indeed mutually beneficial and win-win, but to a certain extent, Great Tang will definitely get the most part of the benefits, but the small countries can only get very few benefits, which will cause them to become more and more different from Great Tang. And they have no choice but to accept this fact passively.

Li An is sad for these backward little countries, but if they do not cooperate with the Great Tang Empire, the situation of these little countries will be more difficult, and the life of the 100 surnames will be more difficult.

Between hard work and harder work, of course, it is better to choose hard work.

The thing that makes Li An remember very deeply is that the wages of the Chinese people in later generations are very low, really low, only about 100% of the wages of the 10 surnames of the powerful countries.

Why is it so low? Why are the wages of powerful countries high? This is naturally because Western powers have mastered the most advanced technology, they can sell their own advanced products at a high price, and they can also have good sales. Most of China ’s industries are relatively low-margin industries. Wages are naturally impossible, and this is also something that cannot be done. If the wages of employees are forcibly increased, for example, it will lead to the collapse and collapse of the enterprise.

In order to maintain the survival of the enterprise, maintaining a low salary has become a necessity, apart from this, not at all a better way.

This is the so-called first-mover advantage. This is true for the country, and the same is true for individuals. After making a fortune, one only needs to buy more fixed assets, and the monthly rent is enough. Times, this is also a matter of no way.

This is also the reason why many people resent their background. A good background can make people struggle for fewer decades, while a bad background can make people struggle for a lifetime, and they cannot surpass those of good background.

This is destiny, very cruel, and very realistic. It will not work if you are not convinced. It is useless to blame your parents for bad background. It is helpless to be born in a bad country.

China is still a little better. If you were born in a backward country full of wars, your life will be even more sad. Satiating your stomach will become a big problem, not to mention the happiness of life.

Great Tang should be thankful, because Li An’s arrival allows Great Tang to be proud of the whole world, stepping on all the small countries under their feet, so that they can never turn over.

After the departure of the fleet, directly cross the western entrance of the Malacca Strait and head straight for the Goguero Kingdom.

On the way, I saw a lot of merchant ships passing by, and most of them were the sea vessels of Great Tang, and there were also many ships of the western countries.

These ships are owned by merchants. They have been working hard for many years in the sea in order to do business. Of course, the profit is quite considerable.

After the pirates near Malacca were attacked, the merchants became much safer in their business. Scattered little pirates could not threaten the powerful fleet. After all, many merchant ships were in droves, and there were also many escorts with weapons in it. Fight against a small number of robbery pirates.

“It can be seen that most of the merchants passing through Malacca are our Great Tang merchants. Aab Caliphate also has a lot of businesses. The routes are still busy!”

The time to pass through the strait is not long. This can encounter several fleets of merchant ships, which is enough to show that there are many fleets passing by this strait.

“These merchants are all unprofitable owners. If they can’t earn a lot of money, will they not be active?”

“I waited for the soldiers to work hard to wipe out the pirates, but these traders benefited, and the main advantage is, hahaha!”

Looking at the busy commercial road, everyone is very happy, which shows that what they do is more meaningful, and it is undoubtedly very correct to open up the nautical route.

“Minister Li, good news! The officials and soldiers sent by Imperial Court have arrived in Longya County, and many family members and 100 surnames have moved to Longya County. From now on, Longya County and the Great Tang locality There is not much difference in the territory. “

A small boat passing the news came close together and reported this important news.

Li An is very satisfied, nodded and said: “Very good, the efficiency of the Imperial Court has been improved a lot! The officials were sent to Long Ya Men so quickly, which is really great, and there are so many 100 surnames. I have moved here, and in the future, I will feel like I am home when I pass Long Ya Men ’s Great Tang merchant. “

Occupying Long Ya Men is of great importance to Great Tang. This geographical location is too advantageous. Long Ya Men is located at the eastern entrance of the Malacca Strait. It is also the narrowest part of the entire strait. Set up a reliable stronghold in this place , Is particularly important for controlling the entire strait and has great value.

In the Great Tang era when the tonnage of the sea ships was not large, all sea ships could pass smoothly from here. Later on, the Lombok Straits were all large commercial ships of more than 100000 tons, and commercial ships of less than 100000 tons were completely safe to pass. Malacca Strait, it is a good idea to stop for supplies at Long Ya Men.

Of course, in addition to Long Ya Men, Malacca and Sangdao also need to deploy soldiers and horses, and gradually realize localization. This is even more important for controlling the Malacca Strait.

Although the countries along the way did not dare to embarrass the Great Tang merchants, without these strongholds, it does not seem to affect anything. The Great Tang merchants can still do business with peace of mind.

But in general, it is still different. After the Great Tang soldiers and horses are in these key locations, the Great Tang merchants are equivalent to someone backing up, and they are more confident and able to do business with more peace of mind.

In addition, although the pirate was solved by Li An using military force, there is still a recurring probability. If you want to completely suppress the resurgence of the pirate, you must station the army in a key and important position. The lagging navy of the small country along the way ca n’t help the pirate. Forces, only the powerful Great Tang sailor can completely deter impudent pirate groups and ensure the safety of the Malacca Strait.

There are still many things, which are unreliable by speculation alone. Although the Great Tang is very powerful, if it cannot maintain a strong military presence in the South Ocean for a long time, small countries along the way will inevitably produce 2 hearts. This time Li An negotiation is so Smoothly, it is inseparable from a strong sailor who is enough to destroy any small country. If Li An only takes a small boat to visit various countries, it is estimated that there will not be such good luck.

The aristocrats of small countries are not stupid. They only need to glance at the huge fleet led by Li An to know the strength of Great Tang. In the face of the powerful Great Tang fleet, they dare not have 2 hearts.

After all, this powerful maritime power is right in front of their eyes. If this naval master is in Guangzhou, the kings of these small countries may not make any choices, and the pirates will open up to the Great Tang officials to disdain as beneath contempt. There is no way to talk about the Maritime Silk Road.

As long as it maintains a strong maritime power in places such as Long Ya Men, no matter whether it is a small country along the way or a pirate attempting to make a comeback, it will completely eliminate the small thoughts in the heart, obediently and honestly, so in this It is extremely necessary for the region to maintain a strong force.

But to maintain a strong sailor, in addition to considering weapons and soldiers, they must also consider their quality of life, and think more about them.

Since ancient times, all the soldiers at the border are all in one generation, because the soldiers at the border are in remote and unpopular areas, and in such areas, there are no women living.

There are only men and no women, which means that no offspring can be bred, and there will be no more after the soldiers at the border.

In addition, the soldiers at the border also need a warm family, so this kind of life can only be headed. If there is no family, life will become very boring.

Therefore, in order to give the officials and soldiers peace of mind, they must also move their families. In addition, in order to further enrich the population, many 100 surnames also have to move in to further increase the size of the population and form a county with a large population. Increase strength.

The accompanying 100 surnames are the families of officials and soldiers, the most remaining are fishermen and merchants, and a small number of craftsmen.

Fishermen come to Long Ya Men, they can fish for their livelihoods, and businessmen are optimistic about Long Ya Men ’s geographic location, turning it into a logistics center for their own goods, a good choice for soldiers.

In order to attract people to come to Long Ya Men, Great Tang Imperial Court has also given a lot of preferential policies. After all, people care about interests and there are not enough benefits. Who wants to go to Long Ya Men far away? Merchants also come here for profit.

For example, Long Ya Men has been designated as Wang County, which is a county with a relatively large specification, and County Magistrate is relatively high-grade.

In Great Tang, the highest county seat is Jing County in Chang’an City, followed by Gui County. The third county seat is Wang County, followed by Shang County, Zhong County, and Xia County.

These county towns are determined based on geographic location and population size. The higher the county town, the greater the population. County towns with less than 1000 households are called lower counties, and only those with more than 6000 households can become upper counties.
