People today only know Yizhou of the Han Dynasty. Who remembers the Yelang Kingdom?
Didn’t Yelang Kingdom turn into a county of the Han Dynasty step by step?
But Feng Yong also knew that Nanzhong was no better than Hanzhong.
Hanzhong is a cultivated land, but Nanzhong is now considered a barbaric wilderness.
With the current appearance of the Han Dynasty, let alone the development of Nanzhong, even Hanzhong, if the original history is followed, there is no such thing as a treacherous country boy who sacrificed an era-defining farming tool, and then came up with such poisonous schemes as "sacrifice Hanzhong with flesh and blood"
, until the time of its demise, the Shu Han failed to conduct large-scale reclamation.
Why did Mr. Zhuge withdraw his troops directly after pacifying Nanzhong?
Does he really not want such a large piece of land?
The claim that troops were left to guard San Buyi was, to put it bluntly, because the big man was too weak and could not afford to eat it.
If you really had to swallow it forcefully, you would suffer from indigestion and might even strangle yourself to death, so in the end you had no choice but to withdraw your troops.
Feng Yong was not arrogant enough to think that he and a few brothers around him could develop Nanzhong, not even with Adou.
Because developing Nanzhong is a bottomless pit, requiring countless money, countless manpower, and a long period of time.
But today's imperial court is a poor man. It can only provide policies and cannot rely too much on anything else.
There is no other way but to get as many people as possible to do it.
Besides, after the demon Zhuge has defeated Nanzhong, what will happen to those militia groups who have enjoyed the benefits of the slave trade?
We can't let them all swarm into Yinping and Wudu in the northwest, right?
So Zhuge Lao Yao’s wool plan is still in the air?
If we really do that, it seems like we will get a temporary demographic dividend, but without wool income, the imperial court's income will definitely be greatly reduced, and it will do more harm than good to the Northern Expedition.
Before the Han Dynasty is unable to fully control the north, it is the wisest way to win over one faction of the barbarians and then suppress another.
The Hu people supported by Cao Cao's thieves are no better than those barbarians in the south who are still in the initial stage of civilization.
Even the militia could not outrun the barbarians on horseback.
I really want to push them into a hurry and accumulate hatred. During the Northern Expedition, they would cause trouble to the big men from time to time, which would also be a headache.
Therefore, in order to implement his plan, Old Demon Zhuge cannot allow the militia to wreak havoc in Yinping and Wudu.
Then, the militia had nowhere to go, so they had no choice but to put away their swords and go back to digging in the fields to find food.
But it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is even more difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Not to mention whether the people in the militia are willing or not, even the financial backers behind them are unlikely to be willing.
Feng Yong saw this, so he threw out the plan to open a manor plantation in Nanzhong.
Opening a plantation in a barbaric land will definitely not be safe at first. Not to mention the barbarians hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, as well as the scattered rebels who are unwilling to do so, even those wild beasts can cause great headaches.
.
At this time, those militia groups can come in handy.
At the same time, it also prevents them from becoming a dynamic group that endangers the social stability of the Han Dynasty after returning to Shu.
Why not do something that can be done with one stone?
It's just that others are not fools. Without seeing the real benefits, I just want to trick them into following me. The difficulty level is really too high.
If it weren't for the strong gold-lettered brand name that Feng Tubiao had carefully built over the past two years, others would have turned around and left as soon as they heard what he said about Tunken Nanzhong.
"Zhao also knows a little bit about this stone honey made from sugar cane juice."
The Mi family has a Mrs. Mi, so she can be considered a relative of the emperor. In addition, the Mi family has been engaged in farming for generations, so Mi Zhao can be considered to have a lot of knowledge.
Hearing what Feng Yong said, Mi Zhao said, "This stone honey can indeed be regarded as a luxury and rare thing. But it is difficult to store, let alone transport. Feng Langjun wants to plant it in Nanzhong
With so much sugar cane, have you ever thought about how to deal with it?"
"What I use sugarcane juice to make is not stone honey. I have a method. I use sugarcane juice to make starch syrup, which is somewhat similar to the military dry food. They are all lumpy and can last for a long time. It is as sweet as honey and is sweeter than stone honey.
Much more delicious.”
Feng Yong had long expected that someone would ask questions, so he explained confidently.
"Military rations?"
Upon hearing these four words, almost everyone present's eyes shone brightly.
Nothing else, just because this thing really makes them love and hate it.
What I love is that with it, we have the capital to organize militia groups to go south.
What I hate is that this thing is extremely expensive, and this thing only accounts for less than half of the cost of labor.
When they heard that the candy Feng Yong said was the same as the military dry food, many people swallowed on the spot.
Not to mention the tributes like Shi Mi, even the maltose, it is a rare luxury item, and may not be common even in ordinary rich families.
What did Feng Langjun say?
Can he use sugarcane juice to make maltose better than stone honey?
And it’s also in a lumpy shape similar to military dry food, and it even lasts for a long time?
Is there such a treasure in this world?
If he could really make it, this would be a money grab!
"Does Mr. Feng really mean what he said?"
Mi Zhao suddenly stood up with excitement.
Coming from a wealthy businessman's family, he understands the terrifying profits involved better than others.
Using the analogy of robbing money is simply insulting to these treasures. It should be said that it is robbing gold!
"My lord Mi Langjun is a tiger general. You should know that I played against the emperor a few days ago."
Feng Yong looked at Mi Zhao, smiled slightly, and said, "I won't hide anything from you here. At that time, the Southern Expedition was about to begin, and the emperor was worried, so he asked me about the affairs of Nanzhong. It was at that time that I
Proposing to the emperor the matter of establishing a settlement in Nanzhong."
"This matter has the support of the Emperor. The Emperor has said that he will personally ask Soochow for some sugarcane seeds, and will also set up a Nanzhong Metallurgical Company in Nanzhong to set an example for the settlement of Nanzhong."
The emperor of Han Dynasty coupled with the two golden signs of "recruiting wealth and treasures Feng Tibi" finally made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
"So today, while the Prime Minister is marching south, I called everyone together to tell everyone about this in advance. This Nanzhong is no better than Hanzhong, it is a wild land. If you want to cultivate it, it will be more difficult than Hanzhong.
Quite a few.”
"But if this is done, the benefits will be unimaginably great."
Feng Yong smiled calmly and continued, "That's why I want to set up a society, called Xinghan Society. It will focus on gathering the strength of everyone and let everyone have the energy to work in one place. This is much better than working alone."
Upon hearing Feng Yong's words, everyone below took a deep breath.
This Feng Langjun has such a big appetite!
It looks like he must eat Nanzhong.
According to their thinking, even if what Feng Langjun said was true, the three or five well-connected partnerships would be enough to open a few manors in Nanzhong.
How dare you think of gathering them all to do it together?
And there is even royal family backing it!
If this is the case, who in Nanzhong will be their opponent?
