The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 465 The latest and most beautiful picture
The Beihai area is sparsely populated, and it is basically still in a state of natural economy.

In terms of landform, apart from the vast Lake Feigal, there are boundless grasslands and some mountains.

The land is thick black soil, but most of it is uncultivated virgin land.

The agricultural economy is also underdeveloped.Most of the people are nomadic, only some White Tartars are engaged in both herding and agriculture.

As for crops, mainly wheat and oats.

Wheat is mainly eaten by humans, and oats are mainly fed to livestock such as horses.

The commodity economy here is still relatively backward, and those engaged in commerce are mainly outsiders, and the caravans that come and go are responsible for the main task of commodity circulation.

The handicraft industry is not well developed, and the technology is relatively backward.The overall level of economic development is much worse than that of Bu Kui.

Although it is backward here, the advantages are also obvious.

First of all, it has a vast territory, rich resources, and a broad space for development.It is sparsely populated and can accommodate more foreign population.

The second is the superior geographical location.

From a short-term perspective, this place belongs to a wild land with no villages in front and no shops in the back.However, if you put it in the big environment, you can see the advantages.

This is the middle ground between the two great empires of Dade and Ross on the Eurasian continent.It can be regarded as the intersection area of ​​the two major civilizations of the East and the West.

If you make good use of this feature, you can actually do a lot of articles.

The Sheldon River flows from Lake Fegal to the sea.

If shipping is developed in the future, the Beihai region will have an outlet to the sea, which can avoid the long traffic lines on the road, go to the sea, and connect with Ross and Dade from the sea.

From the sea to the south, you can reach Daedong, Koryo, Fusang, and further, you can go all the way to Nanyang.

To the north, you can reach some places in Ross, and even pass through the Arctic Ocean to reach Europe when the ice is not frozen in summer.

This is also what Jia Min especially values.

If the sea route is opened, the North Sea can be connected with the whole world.

Another unique advantage of the North Sea is the unique microclimate environment formed by the existence of Lake Feigal.

It is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it a very suitable holiday resort.

Although this era is still relatively backward, tourism is still a luxury for ordinary people.

However, there are rich people in every era.The greatest happiness of the rich is to enjoy.

Owning a villa for vacation is their label.It can be used not only for vacation, but also as a status symbol to show off.

The superior climate conditions in the Beihai region have brought great possibilities for the development of the resort economy.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Jia Min and his party came to a place two miles away from Pingyuan City. This place was still by the lake. In the sky above the lake, some water birds were flying and chirping.

Jiao Li, Wei Ruoshui and others followed Wei Song, Toke, and Bogda to staking the land.

Jia Min, Wei Ruolan, Lin Dajiang, Dai Zhi, Liu Cheng and others were waiting here.

This is a place where the lake is very deep. Jia Min chose this place as a pier in the future.

Five miles around the wharf is the future Pingyuan New Town.

This wharf will become the center of the new city.

Extending twenty miles inland from the lakeside is the future urban area and suburbs of Pingyuan New City.

This is the area where Jiao Li and Wei Ruolan went to staking the land.

The land here is sparsely populated, and there is no imperial court or government. The ownership of land in many places is actually very vague.

Most of the tribes have only traditional nomadic and farming areas, and there are no clear boundaries.

The reason for this is because the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a surplus of land resources, there is no need for people to fight for it.

The place they are going to occupy now is actually the traditional grazing area of ​​the Wei family, the Tucker family and the Simmel family.

After drinking last night and reaching an agreement on joint brewing, Jia Min took the opportunity to propose to occupy a piece of land near the lake here, and Wei Song recommended this place to him.

As for the reason for occupying the land, it is to build some houses here, and to do business and graze here in the future.

Jia Min offered to give money, but they refused.

However, Jia Min insisted on giving 1000 taels of silver and bought it.

The reason for doing this is for long-term considerations.

It seems that this piece of land is worthless now, but it will be valuable when it develops in the future.If the ownership is not clarified at this time, disputes are likely to occur in the future.

This is called the villain first and the gentleman second, so as not to be troublesome in the future.

"Ruolan, this is where you will stand in the future. When I come back, I hope to see some improvement here."

"Officer Min, don't worry, I will make a good layout here according to your plan."

"Ruolan, just like Chief Min said, here is a blank sheet of paper for drawing the latest and most beautiful pictures. I am a little anxious now, and I really want to see what the future will look like."

Lin Dajiang patted Wei Ruolan on the shoulder with anticipation on his face.

"Ruolan, you have to show me our industrial area, don't let others take it."

"Don't worry, Liu Cheng, I will stay for you."

Jia Min turned his head and looked at them.

"At present, our plan is still kept secret for the time being. After Ziying brings people here, we will start building brick and tile factories. You should build some adobe houses first. Don't build houses on a large scale."

"The dock area is as big as you said. Is it too big?"

In Wei Ruolan's view, the wharf area designated by Jia Min was too big.

"It looks a little big now, but after a few years, it won't look big. By that time, this place will be a prosperous place, and every inch of land will be worth a lot of money."

"In addition, after Feng Ziying arrives, you will hand over the affairs here to him, and you have to focus on your own business."

Wei Ruolan's main job is naturally his intelligence work.

In the future, he will use the role of a merchant to travel as far as possible throughout the Beihai region.

Survey the mountains, rivers, geography, customs and customs here.Terrain, road traffic.

Information on the distribution of tribes, population composition, religious beliefs, economic culture and other aspects of various places are all within the scope of his collection, induction and organization.

The personalities, hobbies, and family status of the headmen of each tribe are detailed, and they are not overlooked.

On such a sunny morning, several people from the Great German Empire acquired a piece of land in such a strange place thousands of miles away from their hometown.

This is the land that will become their foothold.

Here they are planners, to build a new city.With this city as the center, they want to establish a new dynasty.

At this time, Jia Min was 18 years old, Wei Ruolan was 20 years old, Lin Dajiang was 30 years old, Dai Zhi was 46 years old, Liu Cheng was 26 years old, and Jiao Li was 26 years old.

The upcoming ones are Jia Min Group's No. 20 Feng Ziying who is 21 years old, and No. [-] Chen Yejun who is [-] years old.

The average age is just over 25 years old.

Their current identity is a caravan.

This caravan will be divided into two parts in Pingyuan City.

A group of more than 170 people, led by Jia Min, continued westward, passing through the Ross Empire, and their final goal was France in the European continent.

The other part, led by Wei Ruolan, will establish a foothold on this newly acquired land, carry out some necessary construction, and then join the second group of personnel led by Feng Ziying.

They will open up a trade route between Pingyuan City and Bukui.

When Jia Min comes back, they will start their expansion plan together.

In the evening, the caravan of Lameihua arrived in Pingyuan City.

Wintersweet Blossom has obviously been here before, not only knows Wei Song, Toke and Bogda, but also is very familiar with Pingyuan City.

The goods she brought this time were pre-ordered with the locals, and after they arrived, they were delivered in one go.

It can be seen from this that her tribute business is almost privately customized.

If the people in the imperial court knew that the things they showed their kindness were actually just a commodity of wintersweet flowers, they would not know how they would feel.

In their eyes.At this time, I probably thought that the fictional tribes of Lameihua would put these rewards in their homes and enshrine them, and even pass them down as family heirlooms from generation to generation, worshiping and thanking the emperor for his kindness.

A piece of land that seemed useless was exchanged for 1000 taels of silver, which made Wei Song and others feel sorry.So in the evening, they continued to hold a banquet in honor of Jia Min and other main figures.

The Wei family entertained the entire caravan last night, and they will no longer entertain them today.However, Baochai and other female relatives continued to be entertained by the Wei family.

Wintersweet Blossom didn't go to the women's family, but stayed with Jia Min, Wei Song and the others.

Wintersweet has traveled all over the world, has seen a lot, knows Wei Song and others again, has been to Jia's mansion, and is familiar with the people of Jia's mansion, so she considers herself a colleague of Jia Min. He and Jia Min praised him greatly.

This time, she spoke in more detail, including Jia Yuanchun as the noble concubine, Wang Ziteng as Jia Min's uncle, the affairs of the four major families of Jia Wang Xueshi, as well as Wei Ruolan, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, Baochai, Miaoyu, The family backgrounds of Daiyu and others were also revealed.

It's a flattery, but it's actually not too much, and it's generally in line with the truth.

Both Jia Min and Wei Ruolan didn't like to spread these words too much, so it was more appropriate for Lameihua to say them.Also more believable.

So Wei Song and others became more attentive.

"How is it? Is the sedan chair I carried for you not bad?"

Lameihua looked at Jia Min with a smug expression on her face.

"Some words are too much. My family is actually not that prominent. You have stayed there, so you should know something about it."

"Jia Huaiyuan, please be content, how many homes like yours are there in the world?"

"Forget it, let's not mention these. What are your plans for the next step? When will you return?"

"Who said I'm going back?"

"Don't go back, settle here?"

"I'm not here either. I'm going to France with you to see what you're going to do there. I've never been there yet."

"Of course I travel and do business."

"Fourth Jia, we are both friends now, and you still don't believe me? You have traveled thousands of miles to France to do business. You can fool other people, but you can't fool me if you want to. It's up to you to do business, In the imperial capital, in Bukui, in Jiangnan, where can't you do it, why do you have to go so far?"

When Wintersweet Blossom is upset, Jia Min becomes Jia's fourth son.

Jia Min has to admit that Lameihua is indeed a very shrewd person, and at the same time, she is also a person with broad vision, insightful and courageous.

Businesses like paying tribute cannot be done by themselves.If Wintersweet Blossom went with him, maybe it would really help him.
