In the Kingdom of Liang in the west of the Black Earth Province of Eastern Europe, King Zhu Zaiji of Liang was riding a horse and leading his entourage to inspect his Kingdom of Liang. For Zhu Zaiji, who had lived in a prosperous place like the capital since childhood, he was not good at basics, but was very good at it. He can drive and owns several Mercedes-Benz cars.
It¡¯s just that in a desolate place like Liang Country, the roads are all dirt roads and extremely muddy. Cars are useless. It¡¯s not as comfortable and fast as riding a horse.
"It's really too backward. There isn't even a decent cement road. I don't know what the court was thinking at the time, but they didn't even build a cement road. Every immigrant town in Black Earth Province has long been connected by cement roads. But here, there aren¡¯t even concrete roads.¡±
Zhu Zaiji couldn¡¯t help but complain when he looked at the muddy road in front of him.
Only after I came here did I realize how backward this place is.
¡°I feel like I have suddenly fallen from a civilized world to a primitive and backward world. There are no high-rise buildings, no spacious concrete roads, and no roaring machinery.
There are no electric lights, no telephones, no stadiums, no racetracks, no theaters, muddy roads and unimaginable poverty.
Of course, this is beyond imagination, but it is far beyond the poverty imagined by Zhu Zaiji.
In Zhu Zaiji¡¯s understanding, people in the Ming Dynasty, even those at the lowest level, can live in decent houses and wear decent clothes. However, here, the people here are much poorer than the people in the Han Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty.
The house is very ordinary, and the clothes are not fashionable and good-looking enough.
"There is no comparison between the prince's place and the mainland of Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the people here are basically local indigenous Slavs. There are very few Han people here, so this place has always been ignored."
¡°But for the local Slavs, their lives have also undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before. Not only can they have enough food and clothing, but they can also build more comfortable houses as long as they work hard. "
"You must know that in the past, all these Slavs were serfs. Not only did they not have their own property, they and their families were the property of the slave owners."
Beside Zhu Zaiji, Yin Zhengyang, the newly appointed Prime Minister of Liang Kingdom who was newly appointed by Zhu Zaiji, said with a smile.
Yin Zhengyang is Zhu Zaiji's uncle, a native of Ryazan Mansion, and a Slav. He knows the situation in Black Soil Province best. He will serve as the prime minister to assist Zhu Zaiji in establishing the framework of the Liang Kingdom, so that Zhu Zaiji can have an easier time. .
Zhu Zaitan also has a person who knows the situation of the Black Earth Province here to assist Zhu Zaitan and build Zhu Zaitan's vassal framework.
¡°Hey, it¡¯s very difficult to develop here.¡±
"We need resources but not resources, we need people but not people. Along the way, I see that a lot of land is barren, but it is good land. In fact, it can be reclaimed and cultivated."
Zhu Zaiji said with a deep breath.
"My lord, the Black Earth Province is vast and sparsely populated. This is not only true in Liang Kingdom, but also in other places. Most of the land is actually uncultivated."
"The people here in Liang are all local Slavs. They don't have money to buy expensive farming machinery. They can't cultivate much land with traditional farming methods."
"If the Liang Kingdom wants to develop, I think the first thing to do is to focus on agriculture and reclaim a lot of land. Although the price of food is a little cheaper, as long as there is food and you can eat and drink, other things will be fine. Take your time."
Although it is his own province, Yin Zhengyang still treats each other as a monarch and a minister. After all, Zhu Zaiji is the prince of the Ming Empire, and this status lies here.
Because Yin Zhengyang is the son of the Grand Duke of Ryazan, he was raised as the successor of the principality in the past. In terms of aspects, the two still have many similarities, but the principality of Ryazan will never be restored.
"Um."
"If we want to reclaim the entire arable land in Liang Kingdom, how much agricultural machinery will we need?"
Zhu Zaiji nodded and thought about it and asked.
¡°At least it¡¯s just enough to buy hundreds of large cultivators, and a large number of harvesters during the autumn harvest.¡±
"If you just grow food, the investment of this amount of money is indispensable, but the price of food is very low. We still need to develop animal husbandry to produce more output. For example, the price of wool has always been stable, here in Black Earth Province There are many people who raise sheep. To develop animal husbandry, we cannot learn from the nomadic peoples. Instead, we need to learn from the animal husbandry in Central Asia and the Hezhong River. The most efficient way is to raise animals in captivity, plant pasture, and mix them. .¡±
"I see, while it's still possibleYes, the conditions here are good. When the time comes to plant more rubber, spices, etc., the income in the future will still be good. "
"When we have money, we will slowly build better and better things here in Youguo. If the capital has it, we can also slowly build it here."
Chen Yuan pointed to the island in front of him and said.
I only regret that I am not the prince of the Ming Dynasty and cannot own an island like this. Otherwise, I will be so happy that I can't sleep.
The price of rubber is very expensive now. All the rubber plantation owners have become rich, but if you want to grow rubber, you must own land in Nanyang. This land is very expensive, and not everyone can get it. .
¡°Rubber and spices?¡±
"Uncle, please go make arrangements. I'll look around first."
You King Zhu Zaitao is not in the mood to care about rubber, spices, etc. Now he just wants to be alone, look at the desolate island in front of him, and then think about the bustling and bustling world of the capital. The gap is really too big.
He almost started crying when he thought about having to live here for the rest of his life. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
