Valley Emperor

When the imperial special train arrived in Hangzhou City, many officials who were worried at first were relieved at this time.

They were also worried that Li Xuan would be furious because of the village he visited earlier.

But in fact, Li Xuan was not as furious as they thought.

From the beginning to the end, Li Xuan looked at many issues from a side-by-side perspective, whether they were good or bad.

Therefore, after the inspection, Li Xuan did not reprimand anyone, because there was no need for it, and a few scoldings would not change the problem.

Because there are many problems, it is not a problem of one family, one village and one place, but a national problem.

To change these, what needs to be considered from a national level.

In Li Xuan's preliminary view, the root cause is still in the land.

Although it is said that the efficiency of rural production is low, there are also problems such as grain output and official inaction, but these are not major problems, but are secondary problems.

The root cause is that there are too many people and too few places!

The series of problems that extend from this is why the empire still has so many poor families!

An extremely poor family that even wants to live!

And this also strengthened Li Xuan's determination to expand abroad: he wanted to obtain land for the people of the empire to survive, not just to satisfy the vanity of expanding the territory, but also to solve the problem of the people. problems of survival.

The process of complete localization of the Southeast Asian region must be accelerated and increased, and the large-scale immigration of Australia must also be promoted.

Last but not least, America!

The scale of 200,000 to 300,000 immigrants in a few years previously set seems to be still small!

If it is still in the era of sailing, 200,000 people will immigrate within five years, which is definitely a mission goal that costs a lot of money.

But now it is the age of steam. The newly built ocean-going ships are generally more than 1,000 tons of sailboats, and there are even many ships of 2,000 tons. The top passenger ships are running for 5,000 tons. .

According to the current technological development, in fact, in just a few years, the tonnage of ordinary civilian ocean-going ships can generally reach more than three or four thousand tons!

This development speed will generally be the same as the development speed of warships. When warships cross the 2,000-ton mark, civilian ships are also rushing to this tonnage.

When warships reach four or five thousand tons, civilian ships also reach this tonnage, and when foxes can build seven thousand-ton warships, in fact, civilians can also use ships of the same tonnage or even larger tonnages.

Moreover, the technical requirements of civilian ships are much lower than that of military ships. For example, they do not have much requirements for power, let alone protection.

At the same time, on civilian ships, especially on cargo ships, the average transportation cost of larger tonnage is actually lower. Otherwise, why do you think that those ocean-going cargo ships and cruise ships of later generations will all go with hundreds of thousands of tons? It’s not because The cost is lower than the shipping cost of tens of thousands of tons.

At present, the ocean-going merchant ships newly built by the Empire are generally more than 1,000 tons.

In five years, this standard will probably rise to more than 2,000 tons.

Ten years later, Li Xuan is sure that the tonnage of ocean-going merchant ships will rise to more than 5,000 tons.

Under the circumstance that the tonnage of merchant ships is getting bigger and bigger, the transportation capacity is getting bigger and bigger, and the overseas transportation is getting more and more convenient, a larger scale of overseas immigration can also be put on the agenda.

It seems that 200,000 immigrants to America in five years is not enough now. This number needs to be at least doubled, and it is best to reach 500,000 people.

Li Xuan hopes that in five years, he will see more than 500,000 imperial civilians and military and political populations in North America, and rely on these 500,000 people to completely conquer North America and prepare for more imperial immigrants.

After completely controlling North America, Li Xuan intends to increase the number of imperial subjects in North America to more than ten million!

If North America is not built into China's second home, Li Xuan will not stop migrating and conquering North America.

In addition to increasing the development of immigrants in North America, the complete localization of the five places of North Sea, Luzon, Banten, Malacca and Australia is also a top priority.

To this end, the empire will need to take a more proactive development strategy in the above-mentioned areas, so that there is sufficient land and resources in the above-mentioned areas to accommodate more immigrants.

Everywhere in Southeast Asia, even with today's technical level, can support at least 10 million people of the Empire!

As for Yu, West Asia and Africa, the localization policy in the above-mentioned regions can be slowed down, but can follow the colonial policy of Western countries. Immigration depends on the spontaneity of the people. Except for a few core strongholds, the official government in other places Official immigration will not be organized on a large scale in the short term.

A few core strongholds are naturally strategic locations such as non-port and Ceylon.

In addition to overseas immigrants, Li Xuan also decided to further increase investment in hybrid rice on his way to Hangzhou. At the same time, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other foreign crops should continue to be cultivated locally for early promotion.

Speaking of these two points, in fact, the empire has not been able to achieve any results.

Hybrid rice is not so easy to do.

As for the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes, it is not easy.

It is not easy to make crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes suitable for the local climate of the empire, and then grow fast and well, and at the same time achieve a relatively high yield.

The empire is currently only promoting these new crops in a few places. This kind of small-scale promotion is more appropriate for practical experiments.

On the one hand, small-scale promotion, and thus large-scale breeding of good seeds, this is the eclectic approach adopted by the Empire in the promotion and cultivation of these new crops.

In addition, Li Xuan also believes that the promotion of crop fertilizers must also be increased.

In fact, fertilizer is not something unfamiliar. Farmers have been using farmyard manure for a long time.

However, Li Xuan has always been waiting for the emergence of chemical fertilizers. Whether it is nitrogen fertilizer represented by urea, potassium fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer or even ammonia fertilizer, Li Xuan wants it, or even any kind of fertilizer can be used.

But it is a pity that although the above-mentioned compounds have already appeared in the laboratory of the Royal Institute of Technology, they have not been able to achieve large-scale and cheap production.

Today, the output of various compounds in the Datang Empire is actually not small, and it has been able to meet the operation of the entire industrial system, but it is still impossible to produce chemical fertilizers on a large scale.

It's not that it can't be produced, but the cost is too high!

The value of the fertilizer applied is even higher than that of the food grown, and it is many times higher!

In this case, it is impossible for chemical fertilizers to be widely used.

There is no hope for chemical fertilizers, so Li Xuan can only turn his attention to bird droppings!

In fact, in the early years, some people found a lot of sea bird droppings on some islands, and they also knew that bird droppings could be used as fertilizer.

However, the cost of ocean transportation in the past was quite high. The tonnage of the ships was used to transport luxury accessories such as spices, porcelain, and silk. There were no merchants to transport such bulk goods as bird droppings.

But now, with the development of navigation technology, especially after the advent of large-tonnage sailboats, the cost of shipping at sea has begun to drop significantly. In Li Xuan's view, the cost of shipping today is enough to transport bulk cargo across the ocean. .

On the train, Li Xuan pondered various solutions to the various livelihood problems caused by the large number of people and the small land, and how to solve the life of the large number of extremely poor people in China.

The imperial special train also arrived in Hangzhou smoothly!

After arriving in Hangzhou, the provincial capital of Zhejiang, Li Xuan naturally stopped to inspect for two days, but it was only two days.

Relatively speaking, in fact, Hangzhou's development is relatively moderate, and there are not many aspects that make Li Xuan worthy of attention.

How should I put it, as a provincial capital, it is also a traditional city in the south of the Yangtze River and around the Taihu Lake area. Hangzhou's traditional agriculture is good, as well as traditional commerce and handicrafts. After the Industrial Revolution, many factories were established, which is also a development. A certain industry came out.

But that's it!

Being sandwiched between the two commercial ports of Shanghai and Ningbo did not bring much development opportunities to Hangzhou. Instead, it was sucked into a lot of blood. When people talk about investment in the southeast coast, they basically go to Shanghai. Who still goes to Hangzhou?

Even in places of condolences, people are generally trading ports along the coast, such as Ningbo.

As for Hangzhou, I'm sorry, it was ignored by the businessmen!

Although it is said that relying on the political and cultural status of the provincial capital, Hangzhou's development is not bad, but compared with Shanghai, the gap is too big.

It was Ningbo, who went to Ningbo later, that made Li Xuan more interested.

Because Ningbo has taken a more specific way of competition, people are not stupid to compete with Shanghai for any industry and commerce, especially the leading position in the textile industry, they honestly rely on the advantages of Ningbo's commercial and trade ports~www. wuxiaspot.com~ plus the traditional tea advantages in northern Zhejiang.

I don't do anything else, I only work in the tea business. In the early years, there were raw silk and porcelain businesses, but now they are all voluntarily abandoned by them. They do nothing and focus on tea processing!

There are even more tea brick factories in Ningbo than in Shanghai, and they have become the largest tea processing and export base in the entire Jiangnan region, second only to Fujian.

Focusing on this industry has made Ningbo close to Shanghai and has huge competitive pressure, but in the tea industry, it still has a certain right to speak.

In Li Xuan's view, this development model is still good.

Local governments do not blindly engage in comprehensive development, but rely on their own advantages to become bigger and stronger in a certain area. This is the correct way to develop local economy in most regions. If you want to do comprehensive development like a big city, It's going to hit the streets!
