"Old Si, you see that you really don't understand the folk customs of Guangdong. Although Guangfu, Chaoshan and Hakka are all Han people in Guangdong, their relationship is like fire and water. It's far from a simple matter of not dealing with each other. They start fighting with each other.
The rhythm is to kill the whole family. And this kind of fighting does not change because of migration. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties moved some Guangdong Hakkas to Hainan because of the fighting between natives and guests. As a result, fighting between natives and guests appeared in Hainan again. Besides, both Hakkas and Chaoshan people came out.
The famous group, if you put these two groups together and add the Hokkien people into it, you think they are not happy to kill."
"You mean these people can't be used?"
"What I mean is: before systematic social transformation is carried out, the original social structure is broken, and modern national and civic consciousness is instilled in them, it is useless to just play with the power of using one against another and to contain each other. It will only further intensify the situation.
Conflicts, and even attract wolves into the house. In the old time and space, were there few cases in which the Chinese in Southeast Asia played the role of "coercing the barbarians to show their own respect" and seduced the natives to massacre their compatriots? You must know that in the old time and space, most of the most vicious abuses of the Chinese overseas were the Chinese. This situation would only become more serious in the 17th century.
." Ran Yao scolded.
"It's not impossible for Xue Ruowang to set up a plantation, but he can't choose Palembang - that's the territory of the Aceh Emirate. The Dutch have some influence, but Aceh is not a vegetarian. Let's go and get involved, because there is not enough power.
We can't keep it, and we can't afford it if we invest too much. Xiao Xue himself is squatting in Batavia and can't take care of Palembang. We have to send another elder to watch... Now that we are ready to open a base to extract oil in Brunei, the hot plant garden is placed
That's Brunei." Wu De has actually killed this plan. "As for Xiao Xue, his work in Batavia is still very important, especially to urge the Dutch to grow our rubber well."
Wu Nanhai was most concerned about the hot plantation. He immediately expressed his position: "I am 100% in favor of the establishment of tropical plantations. I have no opinion on where to establish them. I am afraid that the Dutch are unreliable. No one has ever established a rubber plantation in this time and space.
They also need to slowly explore. I think it is more reliable for us to handle it ourselves. I have a veteran here named Xiao Hezhou, who has always wanted to engage in rubber planting. How about letting him handle the Brunei business."
"Xiao Hezhou? Have you fried chicken steak in the cafeteria? His coconut crispy chicken steak is very good, but I heard that he is engaged in finance or something. Do you know anything about rubber?"
"He is no longer in the cafeteria. Now he is working as an agricultural technician in the hot-cropping experimental garden of our farm, and is also a technician in the food factory: in addition to chicken steaks, he can also make fish floss - let's not talk about this. Let's talk about it.
I don’t know anything about rubber planting, so I have to learn it all from scratch. I think he is very motivated.”
"As long as he is willing to go to Brunei, I don't think it's okay." Ma Qianxu said, "It is the last word to let the veterans go out and take charge of their own affairs. Of course, open recruitment still needs to be done. If there are more suitable candidates, they can go.
"
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Ma Qianju turned the page of the document: "Next, let's talk about agricultural issues, especially food. There is not enough food and the people's hearts are unstable. If we want to conquer the mainland, we need a lot of food to buy it.
People’s hearts protect people’s strength.”
Wu Nanhai cleared his throat; "Let me tell you briefly, the cultivated land we directly manage in Hainan, Taiwan and Jeju Island - including state-owned farms and contracted land under the name of Tiandihui - totals about 1 million dry and paddy fields.
Next year, 500,000 acres of paddy fields will be planted with two seasons of rice and one season of saffron. The average yield per mu in the two seasons is about 600 kilograms of rice, and about 450 kilograms of brown rice. Calculated based on the average monthly grain requirement of 30 kilograms per person, the rice
The project can feed 620,000 people. Considering that this is only our directly operated land, and does not include the harvest of the farmers and landlords in Hainan. So feeding the people of Hainan, Taiwan and Jeju Island is not a problem."
"Is the yield per mu a bit high? I remember that pesticides and fertilizers were never sufficient. Not all cultivated land in state-owned farms has undergone soil and water improvement." Ma Qianzhu expressed concern.
"Part of these 500,000 acres has undergone water and soil improvement, and part of it is paddy fields with better conditions. Coupled with our advantages in seeds and field management, it is completely possible to achieve this average yield per mu. I have done research:
In agricultural counties such as Qiongshan and Wenchang in Hainan, the yield of ordinary paddy fields in a single crop of late rice can reach more than 2 dan per mu in normal years."
Wu Nanhai spoke unequivocally, and everyone nodded frequently. Although they were ordinary people in the past, they have become important government officials in charge of one party in the past few years, and they understand the importance of food to the country better than before.
"The remaining 500,000 acres are mainly dry land and paddy fields with poor conditions. In addition to part of it being used to grow cash crops, I plan to use all of it to grow potatoes, sweet potatoes and miscellaneous grains. The combined output of this part can feed another 400,000 people.
It can be done.”
1 million people, which is almost the entire population in the area ruled by the Senate. However, the farmers have to feed themselves and pay land taxes to the Senate. The Senate can also supplement it with rice imported from Beiqi and Siam. This food is
Their capital to launch the Guangdong and Guangxi strategy.
"...The main problem in our agriculture is still repeating the same old tune. There are three magic weapons in modern agriculture: seeds, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides. We have seeds, but the scale of breeding cannot keep up. Even on directly operated land, the sowing rate of improved seeds is as high as
Less than 30%; there are too few chemical fertilizers. We now rely on planting green manure and fermenting feces waste to replace nitrogen fertilizers, and use struvite and fish meal to replace phosphate fertilizers. Not only is the fertilizer efficiency low, but it is also labor-intensive. The biggest problem with pesticides is that we basically cannot produce chemicals.
Pesticides can only rely on so-called soil pesticides. The main raw materials of soil pesticides are plants. To produce large-scale production, large-scale planting is required, which requires a lot of land and manpower. Moreover, the efficacy is poor and the storage time is short. From a cost perspective, it is very expensive.
It’s not cost-effective. However, pests and diseases are generally not considered when optimizing modern improved varieties, so the demand for pesticides is particularly great. I hope that the chemical industry can make a breakthrough in organic pesticides as soon as possible.”
Zhan Wuya thought for a while and said: "The chemical industry is indeed our shortcoming. If we want to make a breakthrough, we have to make breakthroughs in materials. Our processing technology is seriously surplus, and we have serious shortcomings in materials. When it comes to electric furnaces, if
If it can be done, the door to chemical industry and electric power can basically be opened. Now there is manganese in Hainan, and there is a small tungsten mine with some molybdenum in it. The plan is to start mining in the first year, but we still lack too many things. Mainly chromium
, nickel, without this we basically can’t go into the chemical industry, whether it’s petrochemicals or coal chemicals, there’s no hope, there’s no hope for ammonia synthesis, pesticides.”
"Chromium and nickel are very difficult to get. It's not that refining is difficult, but there was no place to mine and refine these two metals in the 17th century: we have to build an industrial chain ourselves from beginning to end. The key is these two domestic ores.
It’s not easy to find…”
"Isn't Lando in charge of this matter in the Philippines?"
"Philippines, just how difficult it is to mine mines makes me shudder." Wu De frowned, "In the tropical primitive jungle, if the ore is on the seaside, it's okay, but if it's inland, it would be a miracle just to find the veins alive..."
Hainan itself has nickel ore and chromium ore reserves, and the Shilu cobalt copper mine in Changhua has quite abundant nickel ore reserves. However, both have the problem of small reserves and low grade, and the mining cost is not small. It is a typical useless resource.
"Nowadays, Southeast Asian companies should not be satisfied with trade, but should have more elements of exploration and development." Ma Jia suggested, "We must promote mixed ownership. Southeast Asian companies are inherently mixed ownership. I think we can take greater steps."
, absorbing more private maritime capital and manpower into the company and granting more independent management rights, we can follow some practices of the Europeans, support and encourage adventurers to go out, and don't think about "out of control". With our strength,
How far can a small colonial force get out of control? Make full use of private power to find and obtain resources for us, and don't interfere too much. Now we have to do everything ourselves: some technical issues have to be like this, but for things like mining,
Can it be completely left to private capital to operate? The key is to regulate it legally."
"You really stick to your profession." Wu De said with a smile, "Do you want an exploration law or a colonial law? By the way, your Law Society has been struggling for so many years, except for the "Public Security Regulations", the "Marriage Regulations" and
There is no formal law other than the "General Principles of Civil and Commercial Law" that has been enacted. Whenever there is a trial, it is covered up by "Australia's leading jurisprudence". It is simply free-spirited testimony..."
Ma Jia's face turned red and he argued: "The law is a very serious matter. All aspects must be taken into consideration. Besides, our work is not simply copying legal provisions. It must also be combined with the specific circumstances of this time and space. We must be cautious. The so-called full investigation
On the basis of research, we gathered the strengths of many experts..." He was afraid that people would question the work efficiency of the Law Society, so he quickly said, "Our Law Society has drafted the Marriage Law, the Criminal Code, and the Civil Code.
That’s about it. Don’t underestimate these laws. The Marriage Law contains the basic contents of civil laws centered on small families, such as inheritance law, and provides legal protection for us to establish a new social atmosphere. The Criminal Code
and the Civil Code have prepared the legal basis for us to suppress and liquidate clan tyrants and all kinds of evil spirits and monsters. With these laws, we basically have the basis for governing the country according to law."
Xiao Zishan asked: "How do you position the elders legally?"
Ma Jia said: "The first paragraph of every law says that the sanctity of the senators is inviolable. The senators are the pillars of the country. The senators are not subject to the laws of this body. Any legal issues involving the senators will be handled by the Senate in accordance with the laws of the senators.
