Chapter 605 The ancestor said: The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom should help Australia liberate its productivity!
"Your Highness, I understand your idea of ​​turning the entire Southeast Asia into a Taiping colony," Moore looked at the Taiping ruler who had a very "strange" way of doing things, "but I don't agree with your statement that the South China Sea is insufficient because there are too few Chinese people. The local workers in the South China Sea and China, India,
There is no essential difference between workers in Europe. As long as they are liberated, received a good education, and have the right to work for a happy life, they will become very outstanding workers!"
Friedrich nodded: "Yes, what you think is that Chinese people have higher labor efficiency than local natives in Nanyang is because there are differences in labor tools, labor skills and education levels between Chinese and natives. This difference is caused by many factors such as natural conditions in South China, resource endowments and foreign colonists."
After hearing what the two ancestors said, Luo Yaoguo could only smile bitterly and recite it like this, but when he practiced it, he became crooked as he walked.::::
"Two, this is not a place to speak." Luo Yaoguo smiled and said, "I set up a banquet in the welcome building of Xuzhou Steel Factory. We ate and chat at the dinner table. The truth is clearer and clearer as we argue." As he said that, he clasped his fists at Wen Xian, "Sir Wen, you have come from afar, to investigate the industry and commerce of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom... I will take you to visit Xuzhou Steel Factory after dinner!"
Wen Xian and Luo Yaoguo are also old acquaintances. They smiled and nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, King of Wu, I have also brought you the Queen's handwritten letter and gift."
"Oh? I have it too!" Luo Yaoguo laughed, "Sir Wen, Master Carl, Master Friedrich, please."
The Welcome Building of Xuzhou Steel Factory is a Western-style building specially built for foreign experts. It has three floors high and the hall is extremely grand. A cast iron chandelier is suspended under the dome that is five meters high, and the light of the whale oil lamp sprinkles the entire hall.
When Maria was holding Jingdezhen's new products, blue and white porcelain teapots, the steel cross pendant on her chest happened to hit Sir Wenxian's sterling silver fork, making a pleasant jingle sound.
"This is a cross made of the first furnace of steel from the Xuzhou Steel Factory," Luo Yaoguo knocked Maria's cross with ivory chopsticks, and said to Wen Xian, "A total of tens of thousands were made, each of which has amazing power! Wen Juetu, please bring two of them back to the UK and give them to Victoria and Albert."
As he spoke, Luo Yaoguo pinched Maria's cross with his hands and turned it upside down. On the back of the "horizontal wood" of the cross, the formula "E=mc2" appeared.
Moore glanced at the cross in Luo Yaoguo's hand. As a staunch atheist, he didn't think that the cross in Luo Yaoguo's hand contained any mysterious power.
"The "amazing power" mentioned by His Highness of Wu should mean using the steel produced by Xuzhou Steel Factory to develop the prosperous Nanyang, right?" Bai Siwen picked up a very exquisite blue and white porcelain tea bowl, and said while looking at it, "I don't know if the steel in Xuzhou will be made into an iron plow or a rifled gun?"
Hong Ren glared at the remnant of the Qing Dynasty: "East plow and rifled rifles are needed. If there is only plow but no rifled rifles, I am afraid that I will repeat the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty.::
,
At this time, the messenger from Yingbin Building held a large plate of fragrant roasted suckling pigs.
"And the natives of South China cannot build iron plows or muskets!" Luo Yaoguo suddenly made a sound.
He pointed at the suckling pig, "So not only can they not develop the rainforest, but they were also brought to the dining table!" He took a knife from the waiter and cut the suckling pig's pastry, "It was not our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that put them on the dining table. ::::. But we are going to serve the table now! But we are a country of etiquette, paying attention to eating and indigenous people in Nanyang,
Western investors and the British Empire can make profits because we serve. Because in Nanyang, our people are actually productivity. The more Chinese people, the more they produce, the higher the profits!"
When he said the word "profit", his eyes turned to Wen Xian Juetu: "Sir, I hope you can tell the Queen and Prince Albert that the fertile land of the South Ocean can only produce considerable profits in the hands of Chinese people. There are still too few Chinese there now!" He then said to Moore: "Teacher Carl, the liberation of South Ocean productivity is also very beneficial to the local indigenous people."
Moore did not take on Luo Yaoguo's words, but just frowned, as if he was thinking about some truth? Maybe he was thinking about the difference between people?
Friedrich used a fork to tick the shrimp dumplings in front of him: "But after the Chinese developed productivity on the west coast of North America, they did not do anything for the local Indians!"
Luo Yaoguo smiled and said, "The Indians in North America are almost killed by white people like you! They are almost gone... ::.. What we immigrants in North America need to consider the most is not to follow the footsteps of the Indians!"
"Although what you do in South China is more civilized than what European colonists did in North America," Moore forked a crispy pigskin with a fork, "but fair competition will still quickly destroy the local indigenous economy. ::::: And after the indigenous princes fall into poverty, they will provoke conflicts between the middle and lower classes of indigenous people and Chinese, and then they will hit the Chinese rifled guns in waves! King Wu, do you really think that is fair?"
"That's fair!" Luo Yaoguo said firmly, and he turned his head again, "Wenjuetu, are you willing to hire natives in the tin mine in Malaya?"
Wen Xian, who was drinking soup, choked and coughed a few times. The British envoy said in a deep voice: "We certainly won't use Malays if we can use Chinese workers. But if the Chinese power is too inflated...\n.\n"
"when!"
Luo Yaoguo threw the silver spoon on the floor tiles, making a crisp sound, interrupting Wen Xian's words:
"Sir Wen, please be careful!"
Yellow peril!
Wen Xian cursed in his heart, but he still smiled in his face.
Friedrich broke the embarrassment: "Have you ever considered the black soil in the northeast? The population density there is less than one-tenth of the south of the Yangtze River."
Moore also said: "The Northeast is extremely vast. If it is fully cultivated, it will definitely greatly alleviate China's food supply shortage...:::. Moreover, the Northeast belongs to China!"
Wenxian casts gratitude to Moore and Friedrich. These two are really loyal British ministers! And Moore is likely to be reincarnated by John the Baptist... After returning to England, he will recommend them to Viscount Palmerston and Prince Albert.
"It's not easy to break through Guandong. It's going to freeze people to death in winter!" Luo Yaoguo said calmly, "Mr. Moore and Mr. Friedrich went to Liaoning in the south, and the transportation was quite convenient. If you want to go north, it's cold and there's no waterway. If you really want to develop it, you have to build a railway...\n.\n.\n.\n. This investment is a lot."
At this time, the waiter served the bacon rice. The crumb aroma on the bottom layer of the casserole was mixed with the aroma of the cured flavor, which made people's index fingers excited. Luo Yaoguo pointed to the clay pot rice and said, "Look at this rice grain, it is big and long. It is rice produced from Siam. It was planted by Chinese farmers who immigrated to Siam...:::.Siam, like Myanmar, Luzon, Borneo, Vietnam, and True Wax, is a vassal of China! It takes 30 years for the development of the Northeast, but as long as there are Chinese people in the South China Sea,
Production can be increased immediately.
The rice, sugar, palm oil, tin ore, wood, spices, etc. that are abundant in Southeast Asia can not only save countless people from hunger, but also allow part of the land in Zhili and Shandong to grow cotton, and promote the textile industry of the country. ::::. It can be said that without the liberation of South China's productivity, the industrialization of the country will be ten times more difficult! Moreover, the land in Southeast Asia is now extremely empty, with only 30 to 40 million people on half of the land of Europe.
At this time, Bai Siwen suddenly interrupted sarcastically: "If you want to talk about the emptiness and no one, it must belong to Australia! I heard that there are more kangaroos there than natives, and there is no need to repair the fences at the outcropping of gold mines." He deliberately swept his eyes to Wen Xian, whose face was already dark.
The banquet hall suddenly fell into silence.
"There are big gold mines in Australia!" Luo Yaoguo suddenly turned his head and smiled and said to Wen Xian, "There is more gold there than the west coast of the United States!"
Wen Xian's spoon suddenly fell to the ground. He already knew that gold was discovered in Australia, but he didn't know how big the gold mines in Australia were. Now Luo Yaoguo said that there were more gold mines there than the west coast... His prediction was very accurate!
It's over, the Yellow Peril is coming towards Australia like a tide, and Australia's population is too small!
"If your country is willing to open up immigration... :.\n:" Luo Yaoguo picked up a piece of hot belly meat from honey and fire to put it on the dining plate, and suggested with a smile, "We can share Australian gold together!"
Wen Xian's silver spoon hits a tremolo on the edge of the bowl: "His Royal Highness of Wu, Australia is the territory of Great Britain.::
"Not exactly." Moore suddenly interrupted Wen Xian's words, "The British settlement in Australia is only 20,000 square miles, and most of Australia's land is a homeless land." He suddenly turned to Luo Yaoguo, "His Royal Highness, the liberation of Australia's productivity is the real liberation!"
Friedrich nodded in agreement, "Yes, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom should help Australia liberate its productivity...\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n Australia currently has a population of only 1 million, which is too small. Millions of square miles of land cannot be developed by 1 million people. If 30 million Chinese can move to Australia, the productivity there will definitely be rapid development!"
Wen Xian almost broke his defense when he heard these two people's words. Fortunately, he did not recommend these two people to Prince Albert and Viscount Palmerston. When he looked back at Luo Yaoguo, he found that the latter seemed to be seriously thinking about helping Australia liberate its productivity.
Australia's productivity is indeed a bit too backward! Luo Yaoguo is indeed thinking about the issue of helping Australia develop productivity.
Even the ancestor said this: the liberation of Australia's productivity is the real liberation.
