Li Sheng's influence today is no more than before. Even though Panyu is relatively isolated due to the mountains, the blockbuster news of Zuo Fuxing's reincarnation still spread here... A large number of craftsmen were recruited with a wave of his hand, but——
When Li Sheng talked about taking these craftsmen to the southern coastal area, he ran into trouble, because in this era... Even though the conditions in Panyu were unfavorable for farming and agriculture was underdeveloped, the people's rural plot was even heavier, so for a while
The young people all refused to leave, even though they all said that Master Zuo Fuxing was greatly benefited by the common people. Even in a small and remote place like Panyu, the people could use cheap fertilizers, have enough food and clothing, and sent local specialties to His Majesty the Holy King, but...
…
There are really not many people who are willing to follow Li Sheng to start a business in the south.
This made Li Sheng feel a little embarrassed for a while. He subconsciously thought of many TV dramas that depicted the story of going into business decades ago. The plots were basically about how the protagonist had the courage to try hard and work hard, be the first to be the first, and finally found the business opportunity as he wished.
Get rich first...
Originally, Li Sheng was quite disdainful of these plots, but when this situation happened, Li Sheng couldn't help but think of the time when the college entrance examination was resumed. It seemed that many people were completely unprepared... and even had a completely contemptuous attitude towards the college entrance examination... which ultimately led to them missing out.
A wave of great opportunities.
Fortunately, there was indeed a group of people following him, and Li Sheng thought about it and finally decided to pay for some inducements, so he set off with a team of about a hundred craftsmen.
Naturally, Li Sheng could not be satisfied with such a small result. After all, his original plan was to revitalize the place, but since the conditions were limited, of course he had to do as much as possible first. Fortunately, Datang now has a certain industrial foundation, and finally
The important thing is to have a certain talent base...
In addition to these more than a hundred craftsmen, Li Sheng brought over ten or so master craftsmen from Hangzhou, so the master masters brought Panyu masters, and Panyu masters brought... Li Sheng arrived at the predetermined location on the bank of the South China Sea and recruited
The villagers of the fishing village, in the end, fortunately, they had a strong talent pool and quickly brought out the team... The production of music boxes increased smoothly.
Of course...because a large number of craftsmen refused to come for some reason, so in the end Li Sheng had to manage the part at hand first. After all, now he is back to his old business, started a start-up company and became the first-time president.
Okay... and there is only one secret to doing this kind of thing. First, seek truth from facts and mobilize all the resources you have...
But despite this, in the initial stage of production, there is still a possibility - for about two weeks, the entire output is not high, of course... because the selling price is simply very gratifying, and Li Sheng is really willing to pay dividends - this
All the Panyu craftsmen who followed Li Sheng to start a business had never seen - no, rather they had never imagined the imperial treatment. Therefore, their morale was greatly boosted, and the entire South China Sea was transformed from an almost uninhabited land overnight.
The state has become prosperous...
Yes, Li Sheng originally thought that Hong Kong Island had the best port in the Asia-Pacific. Even if there was no such thing as foreign trade, this magical resource would definitely be quite prosperous - fishery resources are also economic resources, right? Not to mention anything else.
, at least you don’t have to go hungry to live here, and in an agricultural society, a “place where you won’t go hungry” is almost the same as a palace.
But there are really no people here...
After thinking about it, Li Sheng gradually realized one thing, that is, the ancients may not be as devoid of exploration spirit as modern people imagine. In fact... there has always been a kind of creature called "Ranger" in China. This group of people arrived in one day
He didn't do his job at night, but he just liked to run around and explore unknown places - which led to turmoil and war in the world in many eras. However, in the end, he accompanied Liu Bang, Li Er and other big guys to conquer the north and south, and they were the same group of people who calmed down the troubled times. But.
… Rangers are a special group in China. After all, they don’t tend to settle much, especially in a place that is not suitable for farming. This is not to say that the area near Hong Kong Island is not suitable for farming. This is certainly not objective.
In fact, because it belongs to the same latitude range as Qiongzhou Island and Southeast Island, there are actually quite abundant wild rice seed resources here. However, the rich gene pool of species is the blessing of the rice species itself, and there are not enough wide fields to do so.
Farming also means that it has limited value to humans.
So...there was a situation where few people settled. Of course, on the other hand...
After all, this place is still too remote. The real southern region of China is known as the "miasma land", especially the mountainous areas, which are often difficult to travel. No matter whether this stereotype is true in those areas or not,
But in short, it exists - and the land of miasma is also close to the sea. This seaside area...it can be imagined that it must be a land of salt and brine, so it will be impossible to farm.
So the question is, can people live in a place where farming is not possible? That will definitely not work. So...
Of course, these are also Li Sheng's guesses - and the guesses are for analysis. As for the analysis, of course... it is also for the purpose of solving the possible internal contradictions in it.
But... Li Sheng soon discovered that there was no need to solve anything by himself, because after the magical music box became famous in Chang'an, Hangzhou and other cities, the news that "a thousand pieces of music box is still priced but not available" soon also spread in Panyu
The region spread... Originally, a large number of craftsmen were unable to leave their hometown - the main families and children were also in the local area, and because of the abnormally high population density, although like many places in China at this time, they lived in clan units, but
The degree of dependence is also higher... After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and economic risks can only be offset by the clan.
...In fact, this was the main reason why Li Sheng could not recruit people. However, after the information about the price of the music box spread, almost immediately... the entire Panyu area, including even large areas of the surrounding areas,
Groups of people have begun to leave their hometowns and secretly run south!
Not only outstanding craftsmen came here because of his reputation, but many people who were not engaged in handicrafts also sneaked in, intending to make a living with His Highness the Holy King of the Tang Dynasty...
It took less than two months after Li Sheng arrived in the Panyu area. In the blink of an eye, the area around Hong Kong Island changed from deserted to extremely lively and crowded!
And Li Sheng was also stunned by the sudden crowd...
I originally thought that the ancient people's information was not developed enough and they would be slow to respond to everything. I didn't expect that this business information was transmitted very quickly... However, Li Sheng also began to encounter difficulties.
