Zhou Yu nodded when he heard this. It was indeed the case. From the current perspective, the behavior of Chu State back then was indeed a blessing for generations.

Without the hundreds of years of hard work and governance of the Chu State, Jiangnan might still be a wild land. In the eyes of the Zhou royal family, this behavior was a disobedient and an usurpation, but from the perspective of later generations, it was indeed a success, so it was indeed a bit too much to say it out of particularity and usurpation from this perspective.

"So, it's meaningless to discuss whether it is out of order or not. If you consider future generations, in fact, the most correct behavior is to carry out cultivation. It's not wrong to only consider the present, not to cultivate it." Chen Xi said seriously, "But are you a person who only focuses on the present?"

Zhou Yu chuckled and shook his head. Those wise men in the Central Plains really consider problems will not only look at the present. The so-called those who do not plan the overall situation are not enough to plan a domain; those who do not plan for the ages are not enough to plan for a while. In fact, Chinese people consider problems only look at the present when they have no choice.

"So let's not say anything like being outspoken. Just do what we should do. Only we know what we feel when we do this, but the impact of this behavior has been caused by the ages, and future generations have commented on it." Chen Xi picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine and said, "Time will identify everything."

Chen Xi's words once again made Zhou Yu firm in his mind to build a capital in Sumatra. That island is truly capable of attacking and defending, and it is also a key factor in curbing traffic between the north and the south.

As for the difficulty of governance, although rivers are flooded there, they do not have a transverse river like the Yangtze River. The difficulty of governance is not high, it is just enough technology.

"Then let's go back to the original proposal, we will establish a settlement on Sumatra." Zhou Yu said slowly, "But once Sumatra is chosen as the center, our main energy may need to be devoted to the control of floodplain in the next step."

Chen Xi expressed his understanding that the impact plains formed by flooding are actually called flood plains. The fertility of these plains exceeds that of other plains in all aspects, and are basically good places for farming. Therefore, generally, places where floods are always flooded, and farming is very good.

Of course, the best way to these places is to not let flood water or control water. It is a very important discipline in agriculture.

"There are still many local residents in Yetiao, and some of the natives we met there, and the people who migrated from the south of the Yangtze River should be enough to maintain self-sufficiency." Zhou Yu did not mean that the lion spoke up, but calculated his own strength very calmly.

"That would be better." Chen Xi nodded. He knew that Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe were very different. Although Eastern Europe was also a granary and had the most fertile black soil in the world, the grain in Eastern Europe was ripe every year and needed to consider the planting time.

Therefore, it takes a certain amount of time to complete the self-sufficiency of food there. This is why even if the Yuan family had black soil in the early days, they were troubled by the food problem. However, this problem did not exist at all in Southeast Asia. It only took a short time to harvest it. If it really doesn’t work, you can also use bananas and other fruits to satisfy your hunger. You only need to survive for a while to be self-sufficiency.

Under this premise, Zhou Yu actually had no intention of calculating the supply of food. As for the impact of waterlogging on grain planting, it is really impossible to farm on Java Island first. There is a real fertile land and the fertility of volcanic ash, which is simply touching.

"Since these things are confirmed, let's get to the point, what do we need to provide." Zhou Yu looked at Chen Xi and asked seriously, "Since it is a ban, it must be necessary to provide some things. The Yuan family does not seem to provide anything, but in fact, the Yuan family is used as a barrier, and we are not considered a barrier, so what do we need to pay?"

Zhou Yu was very calm and would not have such a high-profile situation. Since something was finalized, Zhou Yu would dare to agree to some unspecified policies on behalf of Sun Ce.

"Actually, you don't need to provide anything. Just normal trade is enough. There are many copper mines there. We still need a large amount of Wuzhu coins at present, so copper mines are very important." Chen Xi replied plainly. In fact, Chen Xi does not really appreciate the method of direct surrender. Sometimes relying on trade is more effective than direct surrender.

"No problem, we have already discovered several large mines here. Even if we don't say it, we will provide copper mines to Chang'an Money House." Zhou Yu nodded and said.

In addition to making tripods, sacrificial utensils, and seals, the greatest value of copper in these days is probably used as money. However, Chen Xi's Wuzhu coins are very standard Wuzhu coins. When major families do not want to make Chen Xi angry, no one dares to make bad money. Therefore, the copper coins that Zhou Yu made from the mine can only be transferred to Chang'an Money House.

"There is coconut, Zhongyuan needs this thing very much." Chen Xi put down the wine glass and looked at Zhou Yu and said seriously, "Central Yuan currently needs a large amount of coconuts. The scale of your current escort is really too small in my opinion."

Even if Chen Xi's coconut output value is indescribable due to technical reasons and related industries, these things are just a matter of time as the overall industry advances. Sooner or later, coconut will be made like sugarcane by Chen Xi, and even the scraps will be brought into the cycle.

This is a big industry. In fact, any industry related to food and clothing is a real big industry. Coconuts account for the food, especially nowadays, there are few delicious foods. As long as the various coconut processing is spread out, even if it is not profitable, it is enough to make all the two-five-children in Jiaozhou become their own people who support China.

"That's not enough?" Zhou Yu was shocked. "I don't know how many coconuts I sent last year, but it's definitely more than ten thousand."

"There is no use for you. One person can't even share two coconuts. There are not many delicious foods available these days. A penny is spent on a large coconut roll, and a spoonful of coconut rolls will be gone." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said.

Although there is no food testing these days, there is basically no problem with the things you eat. You often eat snacks yourself.

Hong Fan's Bazheng was the leader of food, so there were also some points in the things he mentioned. Although it may be a bit in place because of cognition, it is that simple if you really want to say that the merchants who sell food dare to eat what they cook.

In addition, the price of Wuzhu coins these days is very real, so the things I bought are basically full. Hundreds of millions of coconuts are used like this and they can't stand it.

"So common?" Zhou Yu said he was a little confused. The people of the Central Plains like to eat this thing so much? No, why doesn't Zhou Yu like to eat it?

"I don't like to eat coconuts, but the products after coconut processing. There are not many delicious things these days. This thing just fits the taste of people in the Central Plains, so the demand is very large. Only your coconut is not enough." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "When someone bought a piece of paper, it was eaten as a sweet food, Chen Xi was really stuck in thinking.

"So, when I look back, I will continue to mobilize local natives to pick coconuts." Zhou Yu nodded. This is a good thing, it's simply a waste of money.

"There is palm oil afterwards. Can you be more reliable? This is also very important. If your palm oil doesn't come up, the royal peanut oil should impact the market. I guess the first wave of peanut oil will appear this winter." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.

Although Liu Tong only planted more than 100,000 acres of tentatively at the beginning of the year, in winter, he would produce a wave of so-called royal tributes and other things no matter what.

"This is being studied, and there will be something in retrospect." Zhou Yu said helplessly. To be honest, he really didn't pay much attention to palm oil before. Chen Xi said it several times, but Zhou Yu got the share of coconut and made wild spices everywhere, and the oil was thrown behind his head.

"I'm afraid there's no help." Chen Xi said helplessly. He knew that there were many spices from Southeast Asia in the world, which had impacted Sun Min's perfume market. However, Sun Min stopped the loss in time and withdrew from the circle. This circle really looked big.

Those who make perfumes look high and earn a lot of money, but they are not as good as those down-to-earth food, clothing, housing and transportation. Those things that are urgently needed in the back can hang up the perfume in the front.

To put it too much, those who make perfumes can’t even make spice-type seasonings. However, Zhou Yu has not turned his head yet. Many people may think that perfume is more generous...

"Make less spices. The ceiling of that thing is too low, so I don't want to enter the market." Chen Xi hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth and continue to immerse himself in the so-called beautiful fantasy of harvesting spices in Southeast Asian islands. To be honest, it is better to grow rice, make wine, and sell wine. At least the wine industry can hang up the perfume industry and put it on several times.

"Forget it, I think it's just like that on your side. If not, you can sell some bananas or something." Chen Xi waved his hand and said. To be honest, selling bananas may be a good business, and of course shipping is a problem. However, with Zhou Yu's technology, it is estimated that special temperature etching technology can be developed, which will be even more profitable by then.

Zhou Yu looked at Chen Xi with a little displeasure. How much did I have to go to sell fruits? Do you look down on me, Zhou Yu?

Chen Xi rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to Zhou Yu. He dared to promise that after Zhou Yu opened a special temperature etching, Zhou Yu would definitely sell bananas. After all, this tropical fruit was sold well all over the world. If you really want to talk about the output value, Zhou Yu would definitely be happy to count the money after making money.
