Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 154 Fusu: The more the better!
Seeing them a little excited, Fusu smiled slightly, staring at the map spread out on the ground in a daze.

In fact, according to his original plan, it was to dilute the initial equity, and then expand the scale in the three counties of the South China Sea, and use the wealth obtained there to stabilize the situation in the Central Plains and Guanzhong.

But he immediately considered that in this way, one might damage the interests of himself and the Xianyang clan;

Secondly, there are thousands of mountains and rivers between the three counties of the South China Sea and Xianyang. Is there any high-speed rail and planes in this period? It's all in vain!
The most important point is that the success of the plantation in Nanhai County lies in the fact that there is a lot of cheap labor for consumption!
And the Yue people in the mountains and forests there belonged to them, and those who didn't want to, mostly fled to the mountains. The Luoyue people on the Indochina Peninsula had extremely low productivity, and they could not support many people.

So on the Indochina Peninsula, even if a mountain of salt falls down, it will not be able to exchange a few slaves.

As a time traveler, Fusu is well aware of the profit-seeking nature of capital. If no suitable slaves can be found in the local area to reclaim wasteland, the clans and clans who have participated in the shares will inevitably hire or force the Qin people to go south from the Central Plains.

At that time, hehe...

So Fusu set his sights on the four counties of Ba, Shu, Qianzhong, and Changsha, which also had countless savages in the mountains and forests.

With Yue Qiying, who can run faster than monkeys in the mountains and forests, you can try to appease the savages in the dense forest.

With cheap labor, cutting down forests and draining swamps, whether it is planting sugar cane or rice, is a steady profit for Qin, which is based on agriculture!

The most important thing is that, if you look at it from the map, these four counties extend southward from Hanzhong County in turn, which happens to connect the three counties of Nanhai!

This means that when the four counties of Ba and Shu are successively developed on a large scale, an economic belt starting from Guanzhong and directly connecting to the South China Sea will be formed!
A steady stream of food and property will enter Guanzhong along the repaired roads and waterways.

If you have money, food, soldiers, and famous generals, if you don't mess around with yourself, 'Chen Sheng and Wu Guang' try it instead!
As for Hanzhong County and Nanjun County, which are also on this economic belt...

Well, as a man, Fusu always wants to keep some private money for himself.

So the sugar cane cultivation in these two counties, he intends to keep to himself.

Fusu thought of this, and thanked his distant relatives, the royal family of Chu in his heart.

After Qin destroyed Chu, he moved the beautiful women and treasures that could be taken back to Xianyang, and set the palace of Chu on fire. The Zhuangtian of King Chu was naturally owned by the first emperor himself.

If the royal family of Chu did not like to use sugarcane juice to make drinks, Fusu would not know that there are so many sugarcane growing in his farmlands in various parts of Chudi!

And this news was said by a Chu man named Xiong Que who went to Xianyang to seek an official.

It is ironic to say that the ancestor of this person was Qu Yuan who threw himself into the Miluo River...

As for his surname Xiong but not Qu, it was because after Qu Yuan's death, the fief was taken away, and his descendants naturally changed back to Xiong's surname.

After talking with Xiong Que in detail for a while, Fusu immediately decided to grant him the official position of Zuo Cheng, and asked him to take people to dig up all the sugar cane in Jiangji, Zhangjun and other Chu areas, and send them upstream along the river!

Why cut off the roots of sugar cane in these two places?

Naturally, he didn't want these huge profits to fall into Xiang Liang's hands!

And this is why he dared to spread sugar cane plantations in six counties in one go!

Under the instigation of some clans, Young Master Yan said, "Your Majesty, isn't a hundred million dollars a little too much?"

Fusu shook his head, his tone was unquestionable: "Not many."

"I'll do the math for you. This time, the four counties will be developed simultaneously. In other words, each county will only get 500 million yuan."

"If you want to gather people, you must gather food first, and for a long-term plan, you must open up fertile land outside the plantation. Otherwise, just based on the county where you are, how can there be so much food for plantation consumption?"

"And to open up good land, manpower alone can do it, but it will be like Nanhai County, because of the lack of cattle, when opening up good land just because of fatigue, hundreds of ministers will be lost!"

"Li Chen is also money!"

"And a good cattle cost at least ten thousand dollars! If you want to plant seedlings before the summer harvest, you need at least dozens of cattle for ten thousand mu of land!"

"Then building roads and draining swamps will cost a lot!"

"The most important thing is that if you want to have enough labor, you need a large number of servants, and you need to feed enough guards. One is to prevent the servants from escaping, and the other is to guard against the invasion of savages!"

"So, the more money, the better!"

"Only in this way can we achieve high investment and high return!"

Hearing what Fusu said, the clan members nodded frequently, and they had heard about the things in Nanhai County.

It is well known that plantations are fat.

If it weren't for the Yueqi camp with tens of thousands of people as thugs, the Yue tribe around the plantation would not have surrendered so obediently.

Although there are many powerful people in the clan and family, they are not afraid to fight against the savages in Ba and Shu.

But... Many of their fathers were veterans who followed Tu Sui to the south.

When they were young, they heard from their parents that the south of the river is a terrible place, where forests are densely covered, poisonous snakes are clustered like grass, poisonous insects breed in the water, and people who wade through the water are like wading in boiling water.

There are still barbarians with broken hair and tattoos in the mountains and forests, killing people and eating meat, grinding bones for sauce!

In short, there is no place for people to stay!
It's okay to let them be managers like Ziying's clan sons who go south, but if they put on armor and go into battle...

Fusu waited until Ziying told the story of the Yueqi camp again, and then said:

"That's why I plan to expand the jurisdiction of the evil cession order, and divide it into front, rear, left, middle, and right five ministers, with a rank ratio of [-] stones. In addition, there will be [-] sha guarantors, each with a rank of [-] stones."

"The four counties imitated the story of Nanhai County, reset the position of the barbarian monarch, recruited the barbarians to settle down in the mountains, and used them as fences for plantations."

"And the Yueqi battalion, which is good at fighting in the mountains and dense forests, will take turns to go south with you and others to conquer the disobedient ministers!"

After he finished speaking, all the clan and family members in the room looked at him with piercing eyes, and then wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Since Fusu announced the expansion of the Sha cession here, those official positions were obviously prepared for them.

However, this is not attractive enough for them.

They are from the X generation of Qin Dynasty, and they were born in a school, and some have the opportunity to be officials.

The most attractive thing to them is Fusu's last sentence, ride the battalion southward to win over the ministers!

This means that they can follow along with some military merit!
For a moment, some of the clan members who were still in their prime breathed quickly.
