Chapter 541 For the sake of the great Qin Jiangshan
"The father asked me to come, it's not just for this matter, right?"
Ying Zheng's reason really surprised Ying Feiyu.
He never expected that this old guy would scold him because this was the reason!
"Yes! Is this reason not enough?"
Ying Zheng didn't think there was any problem, and he nodded seriously.
"Father, my son minister does this, in addition to benefiting the people, more so is for the sake of the court and our great Qin Dynasty!"
Ying Feiyu spoke.
"You can't help but you, you kid, always use this as an excuse. I don't see what benefits this move has for the court and what benefits it will be for the country!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand and didn't believe his words at all.
When planting rubber trees, the people make money, and the boy who gets the benefits of rubber is completely overtaken by the court!
"Father, Nanyang is a land without a home, right?"
"Yeah! That's right!"
"The climate there is hot, and it is very suitable for the growth of spices, rubber trees and many tropical plants. These things can be sold for money when they are taken to Xianyang! Isn't it equivalent to Nanyang being a piece of fat meat?"
"Is this a matter of fact? If not, can court officials and the people fight to buy your kid's steamship to the Southeast Asia?"
Ying Zheng even began to wonder if this kid found a place like Nanyang just to sell steamships?
"But this piece of fat is now in a state of unparalleled power, which means whoever takes it first will belong to whoever takes it first!"
There are only a few uncivilized natives in Nanyang now.
For Daqin, it is equivalent to nothing.
"That's right!"
"Rubber trees can be cut for seven or eight years, and they can be cut for thirty or forty years in total. In other words, as long as people go to Nanyang to plant rubber, they will have to live in Nanyang for almost their entire lives. In this way, will the population of Nanyang develop? Isn't Nanyang the land of my Daqin?"
Ying Feiyu explained in detail.
"Uh...! It seems to make some sense!"
After hearing his words, Ying Zheng pinched his chin and suddenly felt reasonable.
"In the past, if Daqin wanted to expand his land, it not only needed a large amount of manpower and material resources to attack, but also allowed the people to migrate after the battle. In this way, the captured land truly belongs to Daqin!"
In the past, people were almost forced to migrate, and they directly sent the army to rush away.
No matter how the local situation is, how to survive.
However, after Ying Feiyu came to the Qin Dynasty, the migration of the Xiongnu and Jizi Kingdom was voluntary, and the court also offered many favorable conditions!
For example, those who are willing to migrate will help build houses, distribute land, reduce taxes, etc.!
But even so, very few people are willing to migrate!
"That's right! It's really difficult to expand your territory!"
"The people have long been envious of the Navy and the nobles who came to Nanyang to make money by boat. Now that they have the opportunity to make money in Nanyang, there will definitely be people who will respond. In this way, it will be a good thing that will completely turn the fat piece of Nanyang into our Qin Dynasty without any effort to do a single army or a soldier in the court?"
"Haha! That's a good thing!"
After listening to Ying Feiyu's analysis, Ying Zheng, who was pretending to be angry, suddenly laughed.
The point he focused on before was that Ying Feiyu encouraged the people to make money in Southeast Asia, but nothing happened to the court!
But now it seems that it is indeed a great thing!
As long as the number of people on the island increases, this island will become the territory of the Qin Dynasty!
"My son is a prince, so of course you have to consider the court first when doing things! The Qin Dynasty is now vast and sparsely populated, and the most undesirable thing is land. Isn't it cost-effective to use a little bit of land in the South China Sea to exchange for the entire island in the South China Sea?"
Ying Feiyu said with a righteous expression.
"Well! Nanyang is not the land of the Qin Dynasty now. It is indeed cost-effective to divide this land into the people and turn Nanyang into the Qin Dynasty!"
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng smiled and burst into laughter with an old face.
"In addition, rubber is widely used and will become an indispensable part of people's lives in the future. Encourage people to plant rubber in Southeast Asia. While turning Nanyang into the territory of the Qin Dynasty, it can also increase people's income and enrich people's lives. Isn't it beneficial to the country and the people?"
"Yes, yes, it is indeed beneficial to the country and the people! Haha!"
"What did you do wrong?"
Ying Feiyu blinked his big black eyes and asked in a pretentious manner.
"No! I did nothing wrong, it was because my father misunderstood! But while you encourage the people to plant rubber trees in Southeast Asia, you also gave me some airs. I also sent someone to plant some in Southeast Asia!"
"In the future, the entire Nanyang Dynasty will be from the court. If the father wants to plant it, it will be fine at any time! The demand for rubber will definitely increase in the future. The amount of relying on the people alone will definitely not be enough! Besides, so far, not many people have registered!"
In the past two days, various places will summarize the registration situation. So far, there are only a few dozen people who are willing to visit Nanyang.
For future rubber demand, it will be a drop in the bucket!
"What? Is there no people who are willing to go to give them land and make money?"
This was unexpected to Ying Zheng.
The people were unwilling to go to the Huns, partly because of the distance and climate, and partly because of the local Huns.
I am afraid that I will not be familiar with the place and be bullied when I get there!
But in the south of China, there are only some natives. When they arrive on the island, they are equivalent to becoming island owners and doing whatever they want!
"That's right! Yes! According to reports from the newspaper, the people said that the people felt that the distance was too far and they had to travel across the ocean, which was inconvenient, and the maturity period of rubber trees was too long. During this period, food and clothing were a big problem!"
Ying Feiyu spoke.
"In this way, wouldn't it be very difficult to turn Nanyang into the land of our Daqin?"
The smile on Ying Zheng's face gradually solidified.
"What's the difficulty? If there are difficulties, will the court help solve them?"
"You boy have an idea?"
"That's of course!"
"Tell me quickly!"
"The people have concerns about their life during the maturity of rubber trees, so the court will set up a material purchase site on the island. The people can use money to buy food, cloth and other daily necessities...!"
Ying Feiyu smiled indifferently and continued: "There are spices available on the island all year round. While managing the rubber trees, the people can also collect spices from the island and sell them to the purchase points set up by the court! In this way, before the rubber trees start to cut rubber, the people will also have a part of the income!"
"Yeah! A great idea!"
