Chapter six hundred and sixty nine: homeland is hard to leave
Everyone is a neighbor, and Li Min feels that he has an obligation to help them!
We can definitely help them, build power stations, and help them install electricity.
We can even help them set up TV towers and their own TV stations.
Well, providing help to friends and neighbors is what Li Min likes to do the most.
Of course, you can also make a little money by the way.
After the TV station is established, a wave of TVs can be sold.
When Li Min learned the news, he immediately started preparing for this matter.
First of all, Li Min informed Tang Emperor Li Ke about the news.
If there is money, everyone makes it.
It is naturally impossible for Huaxia City to help talents from other countries.
Currently, their talents are still being cultivated.
The existing talents are not enough for me. Do I have the spare capacity to do this kind of thing?
However, Datang is full of talents.
Datang can now train a large number of talents every year.
Although these talents have no worries about positions.
But as time goes by, there are more and more talents.
By then, the employment of these people will be a problem.
But what now?
If we want to help the surrounding countries to provide all the electricity, the employment problem of these people can be successfully solved.
There is no need to mention this for the installers of power stations.
Usually some people must be left behind for maintenance.
If there is no maintenance, no one will be able to repair it if an accident occurs?
After a TV station is established, maintenance personnel must also be retained, right?
At the same time, a few professionals from the TV station can also stay!
Li Min believed that there must be many people stationed abroad who would be willing to go.
Because whether it is benefits or treatment, it will definitely be much better than in China.
When Tang Emperor Li Ke received Li Min's letter, he quickly summoned his ministers to discuss the matter.
This kind of matter is a national matter, and it is naturally impossible for Li Ke to decide it alone.
From the bottom of his heart, Li Ke was willing to do this.
Now, I am afraid that there will be too many objections from the ministers.
If more than half of the people are right, this matter will not be easy to carry out.
But what surprised Li Ke was that the vast majority of ministers did not object to this matter.
Only a very small number of people hold opposing opinions.
In fact, Li Ke still didn't know these ministers very well.
These ministers are arrogant in their hearts.
To the surrounding small countries, there is a sense of being a big country.
For example, all the surrounding small countries come to worship.
They only had to pay a small amount of tribute each time, and Datang would give them a large amount of supplies in return.
Its value ratio is several times or even ten times higher.
What they want is the face of a big country.
And now? What the emperor is talking about is exactly giving, which neighboring countries can be helped.
Therefore, in the face of the emperor's proposal, these ministers were naturally very willing to do it.
The next thing happened, the Tang Dynasty sent envoys to the surrounding countries.
It means that Datang, as a big country, can help them build electricity and build TV towers.
When the kings of those countries heard the news, they were all very happy.
Because recently, the loss of people in their country has been quite serious.
In fact, in recent years, medical conditions have improved.
As long as you have money, if you get sick, you can go abroad to Datang to see a doctor.
Datang's medical technology is highly developed, and many terminal diseases that could not be cured before can now be cured.
And it's not just the Tang Dynasty, but now even these countries are affected by the Tang Dynasty, and the medical conditions have improved.
In the past, the child support rate was very low, and the child mortality rate was over 30% to 40%.
Not to mention the common people, even within the royal family, the death rate of princes and princesses is very high.
But recently, Datang invented the vaccine.
These vaccines are given to children after they are born.
Then, the child's mortality rate plummeted.
Nowadays, out of a hundred children, not even one will die in infancy.
Because the child mortality rate has dropped, their country's population is on the rise.
At this stage, the loss of these immigrants is almost insignificant to them.
But the most terrible thing is that these people live a very good life after arriving in the Golden State.
They even have some business-minded people who started doing business after arriving in the Golden State, and now they have bought cars and houses.
Then, these people go back to their hometowns to recruit workers.
This kind of recruitment is different from immigration.
Immigrants directly become residents of the Golden State, but only young and strong families are willing to do so.
And these people who recruit workers, regardless of men, women, old or young, want them all.
The wages paid are much higher than in the local area.
Of course, the wages are naturally much lower than those in the Golden State.
The Golden State does not prohibit such people.
Of course, they are not responsible for placement.
After these wealthy businessmen arrived in the Golden State, they took pictures of life there.
So that people around them know what kind of life they are living.
In the video, they discovered that these immigrants did not live in Huaxia City.
In other words, the vast majority of them live in rural areas.
However, even in their rural areas, the living conditions are many times better than theirs.
In other villages, all houses have the same style.
Blue bricks, red tiles, bright windows.
The streets extend in all directions, all with cement roads.
The road is clean and there are trash cans outside.
All domestic garbage is thrown into the trash can and has a dedicated person to clean it.
The land everywhere is flat and flat.
The land is fertile and the food is growing well.
After you go somewhere, you can also go to the factory to work.
The monthly salary can keep up with their annual income in their hometown.
Every household has electricity and a TV set.
Some homes even have telephones installed.
After seeing these videos, many people who were originally hesitant about wanting to go but not wanting to go have now contacted the local immigration bureau and expressed their intention to go.
The Golden State can still accommodate a large population.
For a small country like theirs, even if the whole country is relocated, it can still be resettled.
The kings of these countries are afraid that more and more people from their countries will leave, which will eventually affect the country.
But now, if they also install electricity and build a TV tower, they can also turn on electric lights and watch TV.
By then, there will surely be fewer people who want to immigrate, right?
Thinking of this, where can they still live patiently?
Immediately sent an envoy to Datang to express his gratitude.
And discuss specific cooperation matters with Datang.
The two parties hit it off immediately and everyone was very happy.
Soon, Datang's foreign aid teams set off to the surrounding countries.
Datang nominally helped them for free.
But first of all, you have to spend money to buy the power generation equipment, telephone poles, wires, light bulbs and other things, right?
The value of these equipment is quite high.
It makes the monarchs of the surrounding countries feel a sense of pain.
But even if my flesh hurts, I have to grit my teeth and buy it.
This thing must be done.
Also, the treatment of these outside teams must be excellent.
People are here to help you for free, so why don’t you treat them badly?
Their wages must be paid by their country, right?
This salary is naturally based on top-notch treatment.
And the people of these countries heard that these foreign aid teams from the Tang Dynasty were here to help them set up electricity.
Everyone was very happy and excited.
They have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Many people came to help.
Therefore, the efficiency of rack power is extremely fast.
In just a few months, some of the capitals of these countries had access to electricity.
At this time, the construction of the TV tower was also carried out simultaneously.
After using the power, the TV station is already ready.
As soon as the TV tower opened, the TV station started working.
Those who were the first to have electricity installed could watch TV.
Many people can’t wait to buy TVs.
Many families even buy color TV sets.
Even those whose families can’t afford a TV, or don’t really want to buy a TV.
People or relatives nearby bought TVs and took them to their homes to watch.
Because it's still some time before electricity is available in these people's homes, they can't wait to turn on the TV.
Chung Hwa Commercial Bank's color TV sales have been in short supply.
All major manufacturers are working hard to manufacture color TV sets.
Several TV manufacturers of Datang's other brands have been forced to close down.
Technology is developing very rapidly.
In its earliest days, television was actually developed by the Jiannan Academy of Sciences.
The manufacturer at that time also belonged to the Academy of Sciences.
All researchers receive patent dividends.
However, the sales channels at that time were exclusive to Huaxia Mall.
But at that time, many aristocratic families broke through this fortress.
They bought patents, produced televisions, and sold them through their own channels.
These manufacturers have formed favorable competition for Huaxia Mall.
At that time, Wu Meiniang asked Li Min whether he wanted to launch some measures to bankrupt these manufacturers.
Of course, Wu Meiniang definitely did not want to use official means.
Instead, we need to use some formal means in shopping malls and business wars.
At that time, Li Min refused to allow Wu Meiniang to do this.
Because Li Min felt that this was completely unnecessary.
There is endless business and endless money.
Having a single family may not be a good thing.
Moreover, TV technology is actually updated very quickly.
Color TVs have just started, and ultra-thin TVs will follow.
After ultra-thin, there is also flat-panel TV, and then there is resolution.
Wait, wait, wait, the update can actually be very fast.
Li Min believes that these manufacturers will always be able to catch up with them.
If they want to catch up with them technically, they may not be able to do it within a hundred years.
Affected by the impact of color TVs, many manufacturers of black and white TVs will no longer be able to continue their business.
Now that color TVs are coming, many families from the middle class and above have replaced them with color TVs.
So what do you do with your old TV that you can still watch?
Some people who have poor relatives or neighbors just give them away.
Now, people collecting old TVs also appear on the interface.
Make money at a low price and then sell it at a high price.
Even for those who have no taste, they can renovate it, treat it as a new TV, and sell it abroad.
In Datang, brand new black and white TVs were really hard to sell.
Rich people have long since switched to color TVs.
If you don’t have money, everyone knows to buy an old TV.
What can manufacturers do?
We have no choice but to stop production and prepare to change our career to something else.
If there is no other way, we can only wait for bankruptcy.
At this moment, people from China Commercial Bank found them.
The Chinese Commercial Bank is willing to acquire their factory.
Even their former workers can continue to come to work.
Naturally, these manufacturers purchased by China Commercial Bank were used to produce color TV sets.
If it is shipped all the way from Huaxia City, it will still require a lot of freight.
Produced directly here, even shipping costs are saved.
These factories are on the verge of bankruptcy, and the acquisition prices are not high.
You can buy so many TV manufacturers with very little money.
Chung Hwa Commercial Bank has another new product, which is a washing machine.
Li Min ordered the person in charge here to hold several activities and put up some advertisements.
However, the effect is always unsatisfactory.
Sales have never been very good.
All I can say is that washing machines are for lazy people.
Real rich people have servants and don't need washing machines.
Those poor people are simply not willing to spend money to buy such things.
Only those in the middle class are likely to buy and are potential customers.
Anyway, there is no way to compare the washing machine market and the color TV market.
Li Min estimates that this market will not become popular in ten or eight years.
I have to say that washing machines are not very suitable for this era.
…
The road from Huaxia City to the seaside pier was built very quickly.
It is almost completed now.
Li Min decided to build another railway.
Car transportation is always inferior to trains.
After the railway is built, future material transportation will be greatly accelerated.
At the same time, Li Min is also preparing to build a dock.
Turn the pier into a seaside city.
At the same time, some troops also need to be stationed.
Now, the dock has attracted a group of indigenous people.
These aboriginal people mainly come to the dock to work as porters.
They have plenty of strength, and there is plenty of work on the docks.
As long as you come to the ship, you won't have to worry about not having a job.
And when there are too many stevedores, they need to eat.
Then naturally there were snack bars, shops, and tea shops.
There are all kinds of businesses.
Of course, at present, ships are not available every day.
There are currently ten ships in total, and it takes less than half a year for one ship to make a round trip.
With ten ships, we can only make one or two trips a month.
Because the frequency of ships traveling back and forth is not high, it is currently only half-popular and has been difficult to develop.
However, once the Hundred Nations Games is held next year, it will be busy here.
Then, when the tourism industry develops, this place will become more and more prosperous.
Of course, if you want to hold a tourism conference, you must come up with some real materials.
If there is no attractive place, why would it attract so many people to travel here?
An idea came to Li Min's mind, and the first thing that came to his mind was the Hawaiian beach.
In later generations, the Hawaiian beach was also world-famous.
Li Min feels that as long as it is developed properly, it can achieve good results in this world.
Of course, it would be a bit monotonous if there was only one scenic spot.
But many other classics actually have their own cultural heritage.
There are also some that are currently not under the control of Huaxia City.
At present, the easiest to develop and the most effective business card is the Hawaiian beach.
And Li Min believes that as long as these tourists come, it will take several months just to take the boat.
You can’t just go back after visiting the beach in Hawaii, right?
What's going on, why don't we go to Huaxia City?
It will not be too late to develop other classics slowly in the future.
But the Hawaiian beach must be developed as soon as possible.
It will be ready for use next year.
In the following time, Li Min went to Qin Huaiyu and ordered him to do this.
These naval forces include those brought by Xue Rengui.
I guess there won't be much to do in a short period of time.
Of course, training is essential.
In normal times, Li Min ordered these soldiers to reclaim wasteland and set up camps to grow food.
Which navy is mostly used for fishing?
There are also monthly exercises at sea.
However, these generals are really idle.
Li Min decided to find something for them to do.
Therefore, Li Min decided to let Qin Huaiyu lead the navy to the Hawaiian waters for development.
These naval forces are the manpower Qin Huaiyu can use.
Of course, Li Min will also send him some professional talents to cooperate.
Together with protecting the security of Hawaii, it is more than enough.
As for food, since they are a navy, of course they can transport it by sea themselves.
In addition, they can catch fish themselves, so there is no problem at all.
And among these people, Li Min only worried about Qin Huaiyu about this kind of thing.
In the past few years, maybe they haven't had much to do.
When he brought them to Golden State, Li Min promised to grant them the title of marquis.
Now, after several years here, there has been no movement.
Moreover, there are not many things for them to do usually.
This made Li Min himself very embarrassed.
Of course, these people all knew that Li Min had far-reaching plans.
Naturally, they won't care about it for a moment.
They believed that Li Min would not treat them badly.
…
Time has come to the end of the year before we know it.
Li Min returned to Chang'an again.
After celebrating the New Year in Chang'an this time, Li Min decided to take all the ladies to Golden State.
In the future, he may stay in the Golden State more.
Regarding Datang, Li Min basically gave up.
Of course, he and Datang are still inextricably linked.
The queen is here, the brothers are here.
His Chinese Trading Company is also here.
The fallen leaves will return to their roots and wait a few years until the Golden State is stabilized.
Li Min will still return to Datang to settle down.
It’s hard to leave his hometown, his roots are here.
After Li Min returned to Chang'an again, he received a warm welcome again.
And when Li Min's wife and children heard that their family would be moving to the Golden State next year.
The children are very happy.
They have grown so big and have never seen the sea!
They really wanted to see what the sea looked like and try what it felt like to ride on a boat.
I want to see if there is gold everywhere in the Golden State.
But Li Min's wives are different.
They were born in the Tang Dynasty and grew up in the Tang Dynasty.
It's not like Wu Meiniang or Cui Yingying, who have such great ambitions.
They were reluctant to leave Datang.
Therefore, after learning the news, many of Li Min's wives were in a bad mood.
After the emperor heard the news, he was relieved. Anyway, he had expected that such a day would come sooner or later.
But when the Queen Mother found out about this, she held Li Min's hand and burst into tears, refusing to agree to it either life or death.
Li Min tried hard to persuade her, but the Queen Mother refused to let go.
Li Min let out a long sigh, and his heart softened.
She couldn't help but said to the Queen Mother: "Mother, my child will stay with you."
Hearing what Li Min said, the Queen Mother burst into tears.
After a while, the Queen Mother said to Li Min: "Min'er, you have grown up. When the eagle grows up, it should spread its wings and fly high."
"Let's go! Queen Mother will not hold you back! I just hope that you can come back to see Mother every year, and Queen Mother will be satisfied."
Seeing the tearful Queen Mother, looking at her pale hair on her head, looking at her already stooped body, Li Min's eyes couldn't help but become moist.
Li Min couldn't help but said to her: "Queen mother, why don't you come with us to the Golden State! Even the children can't bear to leave you."
Li Min's children were invited to the palace every now and then in Chang'an City.
The Queen Mother would often go to the Prince of Shu's mansion to visit these little guys.
Not to mention that we can see each other every day, but at least half a month, we can see each other.
As soon as she left, let alone the Queen Mother, it would be difficult for the little ones to be separated.
The Queen Mother shed tears and said: "The Ai family's body and bones can no longer withstand the bumps. How can we cross the ocean and go to such a far place?"
"The Ai family thinks that there are only a few days left to live. It's better to just stay in Chang'an City and wait for death! As long as you all are well, the Ai family will be content even if they are under the Nine Springs."
Li Min forced a smile and said: "Mother, what do you mean? You are such a good person, why do you always say such unlucky words? Mother, you will definitely live a long life!"
Li Min had dinner with the Queen Mother and kept talking with her.
It wasn't until the Queen Mother was so sleepy that she took a nap, and then Li Min resigned.
During the Chinese New Year period, Li Min basically stayed in the palace with the Queen Mother.
During the Chinese New Year, the children are naturally happy and lively.
When I talk about going to the Golden State, I feel so excited.
And all of Li Min's wives felt that every day they spent in Datang was one less day.
Therefore, each of them is filled with sorrow and knots in their hearts.
This year has been wonderful and delicious.
After the New Year, under the pleading eyes of the Queen Mother, Li Min did not travel for a long time.
This delay extended to February.
There are still many things in the Golden State that are waiting for Li Min to deal with, and it really can't be delayed any longer.
