"Well. With sugar, you can exchange a lot of things, and you can also get some beautiful girls from the Central Plains. Xing, you can also marry a wife, and you will have grandsons and great-grandchildren." The middle-aged man said with a smile arrive.

This is a typical colony immigrated from the state of Chu. After they came here, they first had to solve the food problem, so they reclaimed more wasteland for large-scale food planting. After solving the food problem, they have To further pursue the needs of life, a large number of daily necessities can allow them to exchange more food, but some other things need some cash crops to complete.Sugarcane can meet such requirements. The demand for tea is increasing. Adding sugar to tea has become a luxury consumption behavior, and being able to consume sugar is a symbol of noble status, because the production of sugar takes a certain amount of time. In this way, the economic status of sugar cane will rise rapidly.

In order to solve part of the economic problems of the colonists, planting sugar cane became their choice.Because sugarcane is easy to grow, their conditions are more mature.

In this way, they will change from simply growing food to meet their own food and clothing needs, to growing cash crops.Agriculture is undergoing great changes.

Farmers on the Indochina Peninsula were thinking about planting sugar cane to increase their income. At the earliest Huangzhou colony in China, at this time, the first batch of tea had already been produced.

"Tea, there is really tea." The governor said excitedly looking at the tea leaves.

"Yes, Governor, it's not easy. With this kind of tea, we can sell it at a very good price." The tea farmer beside him said excitedly.

"Well. Now the tea leaves in the south of Chu Kingdom are not yet on the market, and our tea leaves just come out. With such tea leaves, we can transport them to the north and sell them at a good price." The governor said excitedly.

"That's right. Send some more people to pick them quickly, and it must be fast." The governor waved his hand.

"In addition, I will send some more militiamen to protect your safety. If the aborigines harass you, they will protect you. Now you just need to speed up. Spend more money and hire some people, don't worry, Money is not a problem." The governor ordered excitedly.

"Yes, governor, I will." The tea farmer replied with a smile.And the governor left excitedly after chewing a few pieces of tealeaves. The leaves are wealth, and he has seen that huge wealth is coming towards him.

2012 Grain Issues

"Industry alone is not enough." Li Mu inspected a section of the field, and he found that there were many barren places in the field, but less planting, and more traditional corn was planted than wheat.This made Li Mu very worried about Zhao's grain production.

"Prime Minister, the best time for spring sowing has passed. If we plant again at this time, I'm afraid." Li Zuoche said worriedly from behind.

"En." Li Mu nodded.He knows what he's worried about.I am not worried about this problem.

"If the grain production is not resolved, we may have to import a large amount of grain from Qin. A country that cannot even stabilize its grain production will not be considered a powerful country at all." Li Mu said.In the Changping War that year, Zhao State did not lose on the battlefield, but its strength. What is strength? It is the economy. Qin State has a large amount of food reserves, but Zhao State does not. Zhao State needs to borrow food to get through this test.Looking at the past now, in the six countries of the Kanto region, I am afraid that there are not many places that really have food. Zhao Guo must now solve its own food problem.

"Do you know how the people of Qin grow food?" Li Mu asked at this time.

"This, I know." Li Zuoche replied.

"Farms, pastures, their farms are very large. I have seen that the smallest ones have almost surveyed hundreds of acres of land. Farms, only a few people specialize in labor, and there are large machines in Guanzhong to help them go together." Li Zuo The car said.

"Oh." Li Mu knew about Qin's farm, but he didn't know how the people of Qin ran it. When he heard that the number of people on the farm was very small, he was surprised.

"With such a small number of people, can they take care of them?" Li Mu asked.

"Yes." Li Zuoche said.

"Their farms plant wheat on hundreds of acres, and they are very professional. So they only need to plant wheat. As a result of large-scale planting, the number of people is much smaller, and many people from Qin have gone to the cities to find jobs. And those who stay can use machinery or special care⊥ is the same as Qin's factory. We grow food with one shoe, while the other side produces a large area of ​​food. The difference Right here, the quality of our grain is different, but the quality of the other side's grain is the same." Li Zuoche said.

"Treat it like a factory." Li Mu whispered.

"I heard that in order to encourage farmers to grow more wheat, the people of Qin State have specially set up interest-free loans from the government. The related policies are also very supportive. For example, there is no tax for exporting wheat when planting male wheat. Such preferential policies We are also very envious." Li Zuoche said.

"Oh." Li Mu nodded.

"Look at us again, we have nothing." Li Zuoche compared it with Qin, and knew that his country was very inadequate in this regard, and it was this deficiency that made Li Zuoche feel very shameless.

At this moment, an old woman carrying a basket and leading a filial piety slowly walked over☆Mu gestured to Li Zuoche, and then two people stepped forward, and more people were behind. Come to inspect, the fewer people, the more you know.

Li Mu quickly stepped forward and approached the old woman by asking for directions∠The woman saw that the two were neatly dressed and knew that they were not ordinary people, so she enthusiastically told the other party where the place was. In fact, Li Mu and Li Zuoche had Just know.Both of them have experienced wars, and the use of maps in wars has become the norm.

"Old woman, we have some tea and cakes, let's take a rest." Li Mu gestured to Li Zuoche while Li Zuoche was speaking, and Li Zuoche had already opened the can of biscuits he brought with him and handed it to the old woman's son.When the son saw something delicious, he hesitated at first, but Li Zuoche enthusiastically handed it to the other party, and the son thought it was delicious, so he started to eat it.Biscuits are still the patent of Qin State, but they can be imitated on a large scale. There has been a trend of imitation in Zhao State. It is easy for them to imitate the things of Qin State.It’s just that there is a big difference in quality. For example, biscuits, sweet biscuits in Qin State, are mainly for taste, and salty biscuits are used in wartime. Sugar is hard to find and there are few substitutes. Therefore, sugar biscuits are few.But Zhao Guo made only salty biscuits.And the taste is bad.

"This." The old woman was a little embarrassed.

"We still have some questions to ask. I see how barren this field is. I don't know what's going on?" Li Mu asked.

"Oh. This matter." When the old woman heard such a thing, her expression became a little anxious.

"Those barren lands belong to the nobles, and there are some places where the false plantings belong to our own land." The old woman said.

"We could have planted it, but the nobleman's land didn't know who to sell it to, so we stopped planting it. It's a good field, a good place. It's a pity. It's just thrown here this year. It hurts to see it. "The old woman said worriedly.

"Our land is all empty. We feel distressed when we see it. We plant some corn, but we can also harvest some grain." The old woman said.

"It's a pity that the young people nowadays are all running out to work outside Handan City. They also pay wages, and some don't pay wages, but provide food and take care of food. If you calculate it this way, it is better than growing food at home. It is more cost-effective and can bring wages. Food is not expensive, and you can still eat meat for a month, so all the able-bodied people in the village went out to work. Some land was sold, and some land was sold. It’s not like this,” said the old woman.

"It wasn't like this before, but now, I'm really worried." The old woman said.

Hearing this ☆ Mu's back is sweating.

"The price of food for the people of Qin is very cheap. Handan is only one and a half liang, and you can buy special food supplies. And the price of wheat is even cheaper. It's not good if the food is cheap. We are all farmers, we know , if the price of food is too low, it will be worthless, and people will not value food. It is too frightening to squander it,” the old woman continued.

At this time, Li Mu was vaguely aware of Qin State's purpose of consuming grain to Zhao State. If Qin State continued to export grain to Zhao State, Zhao State's agriculture would suffer a great blow. Because Zhao's relatively weak agriculture was the first to be impacted, and the factories took away a lot of labor.The land is barren and the price of grain is low. If the people of Qin suddenly raise the price of grain, what will happen?Li Mu's back felt chilly.He knew that the tricks of the Qin people were too powerful.

2013 The Effectiveness of Landmines

The connection position between the Western Regions of Qin State and the Hexi Corridor.arts

"Brothers, hurry up. Lay the railway and have meat to eat." A railway worker from Chu State shouted loudly from a high place.

"Okay." The railway workers of Chu nationality responded one after another. They speeded up the laying of the rails, and the sleepers and rails were laid one after another.

In order to speed up the railway transportation volume in the Western Regions, Qin added a railway to the original monorail transportation.At the same time, a series of branch railways were launched along the line. However, due to the impact of the restoration of the Western Regions, Qin had to strengthen the construction of railways in the direction of the Western Regions.Originally, workers in other railway directions also began to actively participate in the general battle to expand the traffic capacity of the Western Regions.

"One-two. One-two." Dozens of railway workers of Chu nationality laid heavy rails on the sleepers.

An engineer in the distance was having a heated discussion with a mid-suspension officer.

"I know that my people have entered the war zone, but it is your responsibility to protect us. My responsibility is to lay the railway to Fork Town. My task is very tight, and the construction period is getting faster and faster. I The men are already in three shifts. It is impossible to stop my men and train for combat." The engineer said seriously to the Qin army officer.

"However, the restoration of the Western Regions and the horse bandits appear very strangely. They are a great threat to you and us. We cannot defend against such enemies. Our troops are very limited. We only have one platoon. I need to organize your people and give you a certain amount of armed protection." Zhongxuan officer said.

"My task is to build the railway. I don't care about anything other than the railway." The engineer said indifferently.

"Okay. This will ensure your safety." Zhongxuan officer said to the other party.

On the eve of the Qin Army's reinforcement of the Western Regions, the Qin State Engineering Corps is stepping up the expansion of the railway. There is a company of soldiers invested by the Engineering Corps. The reason is that most of them were transferred to various areas to lay mines and lay various blockade obstacles.

"Brother, I really can't stand working like this." A young railway worker from Chu State said.

"If you don't do this, you can stay in Qin State. Qin State doesn't want lazy people like you, let alone. If you are serious about the work on the railway, you can stay and continue to be a railway worker and work on the railway, but you will have enough food and clothing for a lifetime things," said a railway worker in his 30s.

"Oh." The young Chu railway worker just said "Oh." He has no interest in building railways at all.He came here looking for money dreams, he didn't care about the railway.Although the job on the railway is paid more money, it really can't make some of them forget their dream of getting rich.Because they heard from the newspaper that many people who came to Qin were rich.Moreover, the Western Regions are a place full of gold. Since they have arrived in such a place, it is really unreasonable not to be rich.

An exit in the southern border of the Tianshang Mountains.The horse bandit is flying down quickly towards his own mountain.

"Boom." There was a loud explosion, and the formation that Ma Banditfei was attacking was blown apart.

Disturbed by the sudden explosion, the horses jumped up and straightened him, and they stabilized.

"Damn, what happened?" A bearded horse bandit leader ordered loudly after stabilizing his horse.
