Rise of the 1630s South America

Chapter 2393 Luoyang Mansion ([-])

"Brother, the new capital is also very ordinary, not as evil as in the legend." Just after noon, a group of hungry people flooded into a small village in the northern part of Shendu District, and then sat down in a restaurant at the entrance of the village. , yelling and asking the store to serve the food quickly.

Shendu District has a vast area and is the largest of the six districts under Luoyang Prefecture, but it has the smallest population, which shows how barren it is.This small village is also located in the northern part of the Shendu District, and it is a wilderness in the wilderness.If it weren't for the post road to Peru built in the Spanish era, the population here might be even smaller.

It can also be seen from here how unbalanced the development among the districts of the new capital is.Not to mention the Beicheng District with the most official atmosphere and the Nancheng District with the most prosperous business, Yuquan District, Luoyi District and Mingjing District, which have also developed from scratch, must be developed in terms of population, economy and culture. Get rid of a large portion of Shendu District.What Shendu District is currently relying on, apart from the large mule and horse market moved here and a few factories under planning and construction (mostly for the transportation equipment manufacturing industry), is only the large area of ​​cultivated land that can be developed.

But plowing land, how should I put it, is not bad, where do you have to look.Putting it in China and India, where the population density is relatively high, it is naturally a huge fortune, which can allow apprentices to have no worries for many lifetimes.But on the east coast, there are only 1000 million people, but the area of ​​arable land they own is not inferior to those two countries. It can be seen that the arable land here on the east coast is not worthless, but it is really not high.Don't you see, the vast wastelands in China are all mechanized farms invested by the state with capital, technology and manpower?

Originally there were still some privately run small farms—this “small” is actually relative, and many of them even exceeded the size of most aristocratic territories in the Old Continent—but food prices have been sluggish in recent years, and the central and local governments at all levels have also invested in There are doubts about the large amount of financial funds to purchase grain at protective prices, which has hit many private farm operators.Over time, there are fewer people who are still willing to do this business. Except those who signed long-term contracts of 50 and 60 years are still insisting, those who have short-term contracts of 20 and 30 years are basically liquidated and disbanded. Go to another project.Now that the east coast economy is developing rapidly, there are many opportunities. Why hang on to the tree of agriculture?

The Shendu District is deep inland, so naturally few people come to enclose land to build farms.Although the Shendu District government is very eager, and even said that the rent can be halved, and various taxes such as business tax are also given preferential treatment (exempted for the first five years, and halved for the next five years), there are still very few applicants.Except for some foreign investors who hope to improve government relations and plan to develop on the east coast, they are willing to invest in this business—not to mention, more than a dozen wealthy Jewish businessmen have signed land lease agreements with the east coast government this year , started to engage in farms, and got a certain degree of approval for this-the domestic businessmen kept their distance from it, which was a headache.

Therefore, when Jin Zhennan and his group entered the Shendu District, what they saw was a barren area, which was a different world from the bustling eastern coastal area.

Of course, they are also unwilling to engage in such a thankless business as a farm.Although they no longer intend to continue to be "hunters", what they want is to set up a trading company to sell daily necessities from the east coast to Chalkas and sell the abundant local Kinney cream to the east coast. What the brave and ruthless are best at is not honestly wielding a hoe to farm the land.

By the way, Jin Zhennan chose to sell the clues to the local government in the Xingren Town incident before, instead of recruiting people to track and arrest the Indians himself.They have been wandering in the gray area all year round, so they naturally understand the value of selling the government a favor.Therefore, after receiving a bounty of [-] yuan, everyone shared the money and part of it dispersed, and Jin Zhennan took ten old brothers to the south, intending to register a company in Luoyang Mansion, formally launder the money and go ashore, and turn to legitimate business .

"Idiot, this is the edge of the Shendu District, of course we are poor. Didn't you pay attention to the road stele you passed by just now? The three characters 'Luoyang Jie' are written in such a big size, are you blind?" another black-faced, bearded The big man said with a sneer.

"Damn it, Hu Heitan, what are you looking like? It's not like you don't know that I can't read, show off to me." The man who was biting a lamb chop was not happy, and said fiercely.

"If you don't know how to read, learn more. Brother Jin is about to start a company. We are all entrepreneurs and shareholders. We can't be so vulgar in the future. Alas, my ancestors have been farming in Jinan for [-] generations. Being more than half an educated person, I wasted my great talent. I only had the chance to recognize some characters by studying with Brother Jin. From now on, I can only hope that my son will have a good future, study and become an official, and let me enjoy a few days of happiness."

"Haha! Hu Heitan, you're such a bear, and you're so talented. Pooh! Your son? Your wife doesn't even have a son? You're fucking nonsense."

"It's not easy to find a wife?" Hu Heitan smiled, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and slapped it on the table, saying: "Han women can't get married, so it's not easy for me to marry a Spanish woman? I'll tell you Speaking of which, I still like the blond orchid. The Spanish family we killed last summer, the mistress has a really good figure, tsk tsk..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Jin Zhennan poured the milk tea in the bowl on the proud Hu Heitan's face, and angrily said: "If you can't control your mouth, don't blame the elder brother for not showing brotherhood."

Hu Heitan knew he had made a mistake, so he stopped arguing with others, and ate obediently with his head down.

"Brother Jin, I heard that the south of Luoyang Prefecture is actually doing well. Yuquan District, Luoyi District, and Beicheng District all have tens of thousands of people living there, no worse than those ordinary counties. The most prosperous Nancheng District, the last time I heard people It is said that there are more than 8 residents, and it is already considered a big city. How about we go to Nancheng District to settle down? I will also go to open my eyes." Perhaps seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, a hunter named Qi Sanmao said .

"Well, Nancheng District is good. There are many shops and a large population. Rich people like to buy properties there. I heard that every time Yuqing Palace opened a dojo, thousands of pilgrims flocked to it. Don't blink, I think it's a rich place." After pouring himself a bowl of milk tea, Jin Zhennan stroked his beard and nodded slowly.

Thinking about the difficult life in the past two years, Jin Zhennan was also in a daze for a while.Thinking back to when Jin Zhennan took over the mission of the family and immigrated to the East Bank with a few military children to spread the branches and leaves for the family, Jin Zhennan really felt like a lifetime away.

When I first arrived, I was shocked by the bustling scenery of Qingdao Port Expo Street, and then I saw the steamboats sailing on the Song River and Wujiang River, and then I experienced the east coast village in the Hexi area, which is very different from North Korea. The scenery, all of these things opened his eyes, and he felt that the first half of his life was really wasted.Of course, what impressed Jin Zhennan the most was the hard life of eating and sleeping in the open air on the Chaco Plain and Pampa Grassland.It is really too bitter, the physical fatigue can only be said to be mediocre, and the most depressing thing is actually the constant loneliness, which is so lonely that it makes people despair.

Well, it's finally coming to an end.Over the past two years, they have worked hard and saved a lot of money, which is more than enough to start a trading company.Although it is not as good as those big traders in the country, don't the tall buildings all start from the ground?Jin Zhennan is confident that with the help of these old brothers, with the courage and hard work of everyone, the company's business will flourish step by step.

What if the road to Chalkas is difficult?No matter how much suffering we have suffered.What are the local Indians afraid of if they are unfriendly?I don't know how many Indians have been captured and killed in these years!As long as another group of people is recruited, those Indians who are kept in custody dare not have any ghostly thoughts.

As long as he managed to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang Mansion, the family far away in North Korea would probably have no worries.The political struggle in Hanyang City was too fierce and cruel.Even though the Jin family relies on the appreciation of the people on the east coast, their current position is still stable.But in the final analysis, the family background and background are still too poor, and they are looked down upon by those two classes of nobles.Furthermore, do you really have no objection to the Jin family who are inextricably linked on the east bank?Hehe, how about the whole family who have been sitting in the three counties of Xiangyang, Gancheng and Gaocheng these years?I don't know how many open and dark arrows I have suffered.If it weren't for the fact that they had territory and an army, and the court didn't dare to do it openly, the whole family would have been wiped out long ago.The whole family is like this, the Jin family should take it as a warning, the Li family in Hanyang City is not a big-hearted generation.

We must make a name for ourselves on the east coast as soon as possible!Only when one becomes famous can one have the opportunity to improve one's social status and get in touch with more influential figures.And with the friendship of these great figures, Kim Jin Nam can "respect himself in the east" and feed back the North Korean family, so that the foundation of the Kim family in Paektu Mountain will last forever.Whenever he thought of this, Jin Zhennan was full of fighting spirit, which was also one of the main reasons why he was able to persist on the grassland for so long.

"Hurry up and eat, and stop talking nonsense. After eating, continue on your way and go to Nancheng District." After drinking the milk tea, Jin Zhennan grabbed a big pancake and ate Hesai. No shit, Beicheng District has too much official power, and Yuquan District is full of fairy-like scholars. After thinking about it, it is true that only Nancheng District is the most suitable for us to take root. When you get there, you all give me your gangster spirit Put it away, and you are not allowed to drink and make trouble. Otherwise, if you go to the prison, I have no ability to fish you out. At the foot of the emperor, the first good place, it is not so easy to mess with."

"Understood, brother. Don't worry, we went to live a good life, not to fight and make trouble. Now Luoyang Mansion is so beautifully built, and many yamen of the imperial court have moved here, let's hurry up and have fun." replied.

Luoyang Mansion, the new capital, I heard that everything is built according to the "Millennium Plan" standard, and I am really looking forward to it.
