Wang Chen couldn't help but turn his eyes to the sea. He knew where the answer was, and it was on the golden waterway on the sea.

Bailayi Cultivation Area is not a simple big farm, it is actually a link to the Chinese granary. Experts from the Agricultural College specially designed a special bamboo house barn for the Nanyang area. The rice does not directly contact the earth but is set up in the air by bamboo poles, and then surrounded by bamboo mats and topped with thatch, forming barns of large and small.

The space layout is reasonable and the air circulation is smooth. The rice that the indigenous monkeys will sprout in three or four months can be guaranteed for more than half a year in this kind of barn.

Don’t think that half a year is very short. If you have to lower it in half a year, the Chinese merchant ship trade system will come in handy. At Bailayi’s port, merchant ships transport these rice to the Qing Dynasty almost every day, and ship after ship to exchange for rich profits.

When rice enters the dry climate in the north, the storage time is not as short as half a year. Even if you store it for three years, it will taste a little worse, and there will be no corruption or germination.

"So that's the case. The key to solving the problem is not only in agricultural civilization, but also in support of strong commercial civilization. This is the swan's wings can only fly if they wield their wings at the same time..."

Wang Chen understood nothing wrong. First, there was no storage technology, second, there was no strong commercial sales network, third, there was also a laziness, this kind of civilization was simply eliminated.

"Good, these idiots, why do you tell me to grab farmland? Even if you get it, can you cook? Can you produce excess grain, can you digest it? Can you sell it? Just start a war for such a small profit? Who will destroy your country if you do not destroy it?"

Wang Chen's epiphany basically explained the general image of the current economic operation of the Nanyang. These native kingdoms belong to lower civilizations in the eyes of Europeans and Chinese.

Civilization has high ground, and civilizations that exist in the primitive fishing, hunting and gathering states cannot be the opponent of other higher civilizations at all.

In Nanyang, Europeans currently occupy the most profitable industries, such as rubber, spices, gold mining, and port sea route management.

Rubber, spices, gold, coffee and other goods can be shipped directly to Europe by sea for high profits, and the management rights of the seaport can be charged a lot of taxes and can also provide military bases, which are the core interests of Europeans, especially British people.

However, Europeans never entered the food industry in Nanyang from beginning to end, and even the more profitable sugars were not involved in much because of their long-distance shipping.

It’s very simple. People drive profits. For the same investment, one business has a profit margin of 70% and the other has a profit margin of more than twice. What do you think people will choose?

European businessmen eventually chose the most profitable industry, while the food, sugar, fruit and other industries with relatively low profit points were not in the energy to control it.

This gave Xiao Letian a gap in penetration. Europeans are unwilling to do rice business, but Chinese people are willing to do it. Chinese businessmen can withstand difficulties and are willing to earn long-term transactions. In addition, it is necessary to expand land when involved in rice business. Chinese people just like land.

Under the guidance of Xiao Letian and policy support, the Nanyang reclamation area blossomed everywhere like bamboo shoots after a rain. As long as the Europeans did not occupy all strategic areas, the Chinese people must intervene.

First, start by renting, and have enough population immigration for more than ten years, and have abundant money and grain reserves, and then find opportunities to be independent. In this way, there will be ports and land.

Gradually, two parallel lines appeared in the economy of the Nanyang region. One was the resource trade and trade route management controlled by European merchants. This was the largest transaction. The precious metals and various natural resources in Nanyang were transported back to Europe, and what was exchanged was shipped with dumped industrial products.

The second line is controlled by Chinese businessmen, the grain and land business circles, and mainly engage in other industries with grain trade, and the ultimate goal is land.

Xiao Letian is ambitious but is absolutely not arrogant. He knows that when his strength is not enough, he must never challenge the interests of the British. On the contrary, he must protect the interests of the British for the time being and use them to paralyze the enemy.

The expansion of the Chinese economy must be stable, and first prepare for areas that the British did not pay attention to. Human beings did not reach the stage of deep colonization in the 19th century. The British Empire did not set sun just controlled important ports and cities. The huge territory on the map did not mean that they could really root the administrative system.

There are also too many lands that are nominally European colonies, but in fact they are still managed by local indigenous people themselves. The Chinese infiltrate these places and as long as they do not steal the core assets of the big nostalgic people, it will not cause too many disputes.

"So that's it...so that's it!" Wang Chen suddenly felt a little dry and very thirsty. That was a stress reaction after extreme tension in his heart.

For ordinary people, the real appearance of this world is invisible, and today Wang Chen climbed up a ladder by chance, his eyes exposed outside the fence, and he finally saw a corner of the world.

It was a very unspeakable misty scene. It seemed as if he had opened the perspective of God. The entire map of Nanyang suddenly became real, and it seemed like he was flying over ten thousand meters in a hot air balloon. The terrain of Nanyang was like watching text on his palm.

The strategy of the head of state was as if it was alive. The Chinese reclamation areas were blooming everywhere, quietly hoarding power around the British power.

Backward kingdoms and tribes were annexed, lower civilizations were merged by higher civilizations, and the Chinese, who were dismissed by Europeans, were willing to take over, and the era of deep economic colonization had begun.

"Plane leader...Plane leader...What are you thinking? You've been in a daze for ten minutes..."

"Ah? Ahh..." Wang Chen was suddenly awakened from his enlightenment by his brothers, a little annoyed, but he knew that he could not delay it after seeing the time.

He looked at the indigenous women and children with horror on his face, and then looked at the little girl who could speak Chinese and nodded, "Thank you! Protect yourself, after the war is over, it's better to surrender to our Chinese people. This is the only way to survive for your backward civilization..."

After saying that, Wang Chen took out five silver coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the little girl's hand. "The war is about to end soon... You can endure it for a while, after the war is over, you will have endless rice to eat, believe me!"

"Go away, brothers! I only now understand why the head of state fought... Without our Chinese people leading them, these indigenous peoples would never make progress!"
