"It is better to feed on people than animals!"

"It is better to attack such a stubborn and arrogant barbarian!"

"Be virtuous and soften China, punish the four barbarians, island barbarians prey on our Han people, and the crime is extremely evil, so we should start a military force to punish!"

"Wild life is not a child, and does not know etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. What qualifications are there to steal the land of our country in China?"

"If you are a wolf, how can you be a human being? You should get rid of it and get it quickly!"

"In my old age, there is no need to be like this. The sage said, 'Although the Diyi cannot be abandoned', the scholars must be generous and resolute. We are all children of saints. We should be the savages and etiquette on the island to change customs and customs.

, become a real person.”

"Old Zhou's words were reasonable. Emperor Taizong of Tang said, 'Barriages are like this.' Since we live in our land of China, we are indeed obliged to teach them to be good."

"I didn't expect that such a large piece of land would still be barren. I feel deeply saddened. We will follow the will of the saints and let them educate them together."

"The island is separated by the vast sea, so that China and foreign countries can not be separated by books, and the sound teachings cannot reach, so it is barbaric. We should teach them both!"

"All the king's land under the world is the king's land, and all the king's ministers are the king's ministers, and Liuqiu Island should not be exception!"

A group of red-eyed gentry expressed their opinions in a few words. They seemed to have different opinions and even had disputes, but the core meaning was actually the same.

This piece of fat must be swallowed!

"Cough!" Zhao Mengqi made a false cough, which gradually calmed everyone down.

"Whether it is a gentle or a kind of education, we have to communicate first, but the island's birth is in a ignorant period, wild and cruel, and basically cannot communicate. Otherwise, it would not be possible for nearly a thousand years. The Han people have been unable to gain a foothold on the island, so they want to explore.

Liu Qiu, force is a must-have.”

A gentry said anxiously, "There are only a group of people around you. Send a large army of 10,000 to clear the entire island in at most four or five months, and you can start pioneering and planting in the spring next year!"

"You're thinking too simple." Zhao Mengqi shook his finger, "First of all, where did this army come from? There is no way to gather ten thousand troops to fight in the entire Fujian Road."

"Secondly, although Shengfan is primitive, he is also combat-effective. Most of them live in hilly jungles. They cannot be cleaned up at one time. A large number of troops are required to stay on the island for public security wars."

"Third, sending troops requires a lot of money and food. Not to mention that the imperial court is so poor now that it is very poor, even if it is rich, sending troops to conquer the vulgarity, why do you just develop it for us?"

"Fourth, this is a cross-sea crossing, and it is necessary to have huge maritime transportation capabilities. The southeastern sea is not peaceful, and there are often pirates, so there must be enough naval power."

"fifth……"

The gentry felt a little dizzy after hearing this, feeling that these difficulties were indeed difficult, but the foreseeable huge benefits made them reluctant to give up.

"Your Highness, we take it for granted. This matter does require long-term planning, but I believe your Highness has already made some plans. It is better to make it clear that we must fully support it!"

"It's the extreme, your highness must have a complete solution, so why don't we bother to think about it?"

"Your Highness, what should you do, we will all listen to you."

Zhao Mengqi smiled, "Then I will tell you about my thoughts. If there is anything wrong, please point it out."

"It is not possible to develop such a big island by fighting alone and doing scattered governance. We must gather strength and unify our steps. Therefore, I plan to set up a Liuqiu Development Company."

"The equity structure is still like that of the sugar company, so the court will support this matter."

"Development is even difficult to achieve Taihu Lake governance project. Therefore, Gu planned to develop the company's total investment was 60 million yuan. Gu represented the royal capital of 10 million yuan, and paid 10 million yuan for the court. The other 40 million yuan was issued 400,000 shares.

, subsequent capital increase will be based on the circumstances."

"In principle, the entire land use right of Liuqiu belongs to the development company, which is equivalent to buying at least 10 million acres of land with a total of 60 million yuan. This business is still very cost-effective."

"Then, I will suggest that the court should establish a new army on the sea and land in order to cooperate with the current development, but the development company will bear all the costs. Of course, these two new troops are mainly for the purpose of maintaining public security in the future, and the court will still need to send it out in the early stage.

The army stabilized the situation on the island, and the cost in this situation was naturally borne by the development company. In other words, the development company rented the imperial army."

Rent an army? Is that okay?

This highness is really eye-opening, but I have to admit that this is a wonderful strategy. After all, the court will definitely not allow private troops, and there is no reason to let the army work for private interests.

And it seems that only by following the Yan King model can the development company be justified in seeking profits.

Of course, it is also because the imperial court and the royal family are both major shareholders of the development company, and the King of Yan is also the crown prince. This whimsical plan is possible. If someone dares to bring up this idea, the imperial court will definitely suspect that you are planning to rebel.

After understanding the truth, the gentry expressed their support.

However, Zhao Mengqi has a deeper intention, which they could not have imagined.

Zhao Mengqi's plan has always been to put aside the existing military system and establish a new army, just like his Dongwei's personal army, but just one Dongwei would definitely not meet his requirements, so he came up with this plan.

Using the money of the development company to build your own elite direct armed forces is so happy. When the time is right, we will pull out the elite troops and fill in the old troops that were laid off, and solve some of the resettlement problems. It is simply the best of both worlds.

Next, Zhao Mengqi talked about some of the general steps of the operation of the development company and the convective development. The gentry thought about it and discussed it, and felt it was more and more feasible.

However, some people have discovered the problem, "Your Highness, with Liu Qiu, it has indeed solved the problem of raw materials. In the future, even if you produce tens of millions of pounds, it is very likely that you will not be able to sell that much of a pound..."

That's right, tens of millions of pounds are tens of millions of pounds, and the imperial court could not collect so much taxes. After all, the poor accounted for the majority of the Song Dynasty. Even if there were many rich people, they could not treat candy as food.

Although everyone loves to eat sugar, sugar is not a necessity. If it is produced but cannot be sold, it is not a treasure, but a waste.

The gentry woke up, their hearts were chilling, and all their eyes focused on Zhao Mengqi.

Zhao Mengqi was not in a hurry, "Don't panic, I will make some calculations for you first. Now, one acre of high-quality paddy fields is cultivated carefully every year, and it will produce three stones of rice. However, sugarcane only requires dry fields, and the farming is far from being so fine.

The yield per mu is at least 30,000 kilograms, and the yield of 300 kilograms of sugar is equivalent to rice. But no matter how cheap the sugar is, it cannot be cheaper than rice."

In later generations, sugarcane yield per mu could reach four or five tons, and the sugar yield rate was more than 15%. At this time, the varieties were worse, but the output that Zhao Mengqi said was absolutely fine.

At this time, the prices in the Song Dynasty rose. Rice was about ten cents per pound and between sixty cents per pound of chocoon and one hundred cents per pound of chocoon. Even if the output of snow sugar dropped to the price of chocoon, it would still be huge profits.

The gentry thought about it carefully and although they didn't know the real sugar yield and production cost of snow sugar, they were definitely profitable, and they just didn't make that much money, so they all felt a little relieved.

Some people also said, "At worst, we can produce less, it's good to use other land to plant other things..."

Zhao Mengqi shook his head and said, "No need to do this. If you can produce more, you still need to produce more. Although coins can buy any goods, coins themselves are not wealth. Only the materials produced are considered wealth. From the perspective of the whole world,

Of course, the more products the better. The purpose of our business is to make money, but we also need to have a sense of social responsibility."

The gentleman was ashamed, "Your Highness has taught me a lesson, I am so shallow."

"And there is no way to ensure that we make money. Our Song Dynasty has a population of 60 to 70 million, which is the largest market in the world. Even if each person consumes a pound of snow sugar, it is enough for us to grit our teeth and work hard to produce it. But what should we do if many poor people can't afford to consume?

?”

"One is to reduce the price appropriately, and the other makes the poor richer."

"Some people may think this method is ridiculous, but everyone must understand that the people of China are the most hardworking and hardworking people in the world. The value they produce is far more than they consume. However, because of the various squeezes, they have the ability to produce

The decline caused the entire Song Dynasty to reduce its properties."

"So I repeatedly explained that we should reduce the burden on the people and resume production. When they have the ability to consume, we can still make a lot of money through goods such as snow sugar. Is this method of obtaining wealth not to be cruelly squeezed and wise?

Is it a hundred times? I am so happy that the world is so happy, everyone is happy.”

"The reason here is not complicated. You can think about it yourself. In addition, we cannot just put the market in the Song Dynasty. You must know that even in other countries and other nations, few people in the world can resist the sweetness.

Temptation, Mongolians, Persians, Nanyangs, Koreans, Japanese, no matter who they are, as long as we put our snow sugar in front of him, how many of them wouldn’t want to eat it?”

"The Mongols are fighting with us, but sugar is not a necessity and cannot increase their combat effectiveness, so it does not prevent us from selling it to him. Maybe we can exchange war horses from them and what we need. Of course, this part needs

It will be carried out under the supervision of the court, and we will talk about it later."

"The other is Japan and Goryeo. These two countries have long trade relations with us, but in recent years, it has become rare. In addition to the influence of the Mongolians, it is mainly because our products have decreased, which has not been able to meet trade needs.

Now the Japanese come to the Song Dynasty to buy our copper coins. This is nothing. To some extent, if other countries like to use the money from the Song Dynasty, it would be a good thing for the Song Dynasty, but our copper coins were not enough.

For this, it costs more than ten times more to cast a penny now, and this is a loss-making deal.”

"But now that we have snow sugar, we can completely re-engage the trade. Although Goryeo and Japan are behind and cannot make any good things, there are also what we need, especially Japan, wood, copper ore, gold and silver, and especially

Gold and silver, I have reliable news, and I know that there are several large mines that have not yet been mined. One of them is conservatively estimated that one thousand kilograms of gold and eighty thousand kilograms of silver can be mined every year!"

Mother!

Isn’t this a real sea of ​​gold and silver?

Niang Xipi, how did you give such a good place to those short guys?

Snatch it! Be sure to grab it!

The gentry's eyes glowed again, with gold on one side and silver on the other.

Zhao Mengqi saw the meaning of the gentry's eyes and couldn't help but touch his nose, "We are civilized people, we must have style!"

"I plan to inform the Japanese of the mines and let them dig by themselves. If the technology is not good, then we will teach them, at most it is to cooperate in mining. As for how they use labor, it is their own business. We just need to use it.

Just change the goods, porcelain, silk, snow sugar, etc..”

"However, the sea route is difficult and the scattered free trade efficiency was too low in the past, so I planned to set up Donghai Trading Company to be responsible for this matter and issue 100,000 shares in accordance with the sugar company!"

Well, it's another big way to make a fortune!

Although the King of Yan said it simply, he didn't need to say too much about the trade between the Song and the Japanese. Everyone understood the value of the gold content in the middle, not to mention that Japan also has real gold and silver.

Why is His Highness Yan so magical? He can throw out many golden and bright roads at will. Compared with this, his previous methods of making money are simply inferior to those of the slags.

Could he be the reincarnation of the God of Wealth?

It seems that it is not impossible, after all, the God of Wealth is also surnamed Zhao.

In fact, it should be more suitable to call him King of Wealth.

The gentry looked at Zhao Mengqi's eyes at this time, and was in awe and astonishment. There was more of a burning joy, which made Zhao Mengqi tighten...
