Concentrate your efforts on big things, and big things can be accomplished! (Third update, completed every day!)

"...Guangnan East Road is poor, but it does not mean that it has no resources. As long as the resources can be mobilized to do big things, it can be done."

Zhang Heng glanced at everyone and continued: "As for where the resources are, I will tell you in detail.

First of all, the more than 20,000 hectares of swamp in the Xijiang Delta is one of the resources. Although it cannot be used now, there are expected benefits. We can use its future benefits as a bargaining chip to attract investment.

Everyone should be able to calculate how much economic benefit the more than 20,000 hectares of land will produce once it is utilized, right?"

Zhan Chongwen immediately added: "If we treat it as a paddy field to grow rice, our rice production in Guangdong is about three stones per mu, which is more than 20,000 hectares, which is more than two million acres of land. In other words, just planting rice, every season

That’s a production of more than six million stones.

Guangdong can grow two crops of rice, which means that it can harvest 12 million dan of grain every year. According to normal times, one dan of grain is about 100 yuan, which means that it can produce about 12 million gu of grain every year.

.”

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "In an industry that can produce 12 million yuan a year, do you think it is worth investing in?"

Jia Ruolin frowned and thought for a while and said: "Of course the expectations are good, but the investment is too big. Who has the financial resources to invest? How many lengths of dikes need to be built for more than 20,000 hectares of fields? There is no need for this.

Calculating carefully, it must be at least a million or even several million guan. Who can come up with such a huge amount of funds?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "This is the content of resource allocation. Others can't do it, but I can.

Moreover, the so-called capital investment of several million dollars is just our estimate, but it is not actually calculated like this.

It is said that building an embankment requires millions of strings. Where is the money spent on it?

The first is manpower, the second is food, and the third is the building materials needed for various projects.

The cost of food and building materials is another matter. They are indispensable, but as for manpower, which accounts for the majority, I have plans to reduce investment.

I plan to give half of the more than 20,000 hectares of land, which is one million acres of land, to the people who build the embankment. Even if each person has ten acres, he can recruit 100,000 laborers to build the embankment.

We only need to provide food for the people, and the expenditure on this is at least one million dollars.

The cost of food and building materials is inevitable, and this must be financed from the society.

What do we need to give in exchange for social financing?

The first is land. The remaining one million acres of land can be sold to the people who own the land. They can continue to generate income from the land. They are definitely willing to invest.

This part of the financing is for the entire society. As long as you have money, you can invest in it and buy it at the price we set.

The current price of paddy fields is about 1 mu per mu. Our newly developed paddy fields are futures...well, the expected paddy fields cannot be sold at this price. They can be sold at about 70% of the price. Then

In other words, one million acres of land can be sold for 700,000 yuan.

The second is to set up an agricultural products trading house, which specializes in point-to-point purchasing. It can purchase agricultural products produced on the land and sell them externally.

This is a business with an annual output value of at least tens of millions of dollars, and the profit is at least millions of dollars. Selling the shares of this firm for one million dollars is not too much, right?

The third is to establish a shipping company. When all agricultural products go north, this shipping company can take on the task of transporting them.

The shipping company may not make as much money as the agricultural products merchant house, but if this route is formed, the money it can earn will not only be this, but may also include the minerals from Guangnan East Road going north, and the products from Bianjing going south. From this point of view, this route

The value is not low, so it is not too much to sell the shares of this firm for one million yuan, right?"

Zhang Heng calculated with his fingers: "If you save one million guan on manpower, you can get 700,000 guan from selling land, one million guan for the shipping company, and 1 million guan for the agricultural products trading company. Well, 3.7 million guan."

...That should be enough, right?”

Zhang Heng looked at Jia Ruolin and said: "Jia Zhi County, do you think there are 3.7 million dykes, can we build this embankment around it?"

In fact, when Zhang Heng said this, everyone was dumbfounded. These things sounded like a fantasy to everyone, and it was difficult to understand at all.

Shi Mingchen said nonchalantly: "This... this... what kind of trading company and shipping company can do this?"

Jia Ruolin's frown deepened. He thought for a long time and said: "Cao Shuai, can this really work like this? Is there anyone who is really willing to spend so much money to invest in something that doesn't even exist?

This can't be done, and if this embankment cannot be built, or if this swamp cannot be used as a paddy field, then wouldn't we be lying to others?"

Zhang Heng laughed: "Have you not seen the villagers building embankments? The embankments are actually not that difficult to build, right? Then after the embankments are built, the paddy fields reclaimed inside can be used to grow rice, right?"

Shi Mingchen hurriedly said: "This is true, but the embankment built by the villagers is too short and thin to stop the flood. Therefore, when the flood comes, it will inevitably overflow or directly destroy the embankment.

But in years without floods, the rice grown in it can still be harvested. Moreover, this paddy field has accumulated silt for many years, so it is really fertile. The rice that the paddy field can produce can even reach more than four stones!"

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "So, as long as you invest enough, this embankment can be built, and growing rice is the lowest return method.

I do not intend to plant all these fields with rice, but to plant them in a variety of ways. As long as the rice can satisfy the people of Guangnan East Road.

We plan to introduce advanced agricultural technology and utilize the characteristics of these swamps to realize a new type of agriculture.

This kind of agriculture is fruit-based pond and mulberry-based pond. The two types of agriculture actually have the same concept. That is to say, the swampland has a lot of water, so fish ponds can be dug to raise fish, and mulberry trees or fruit trees can be planted on the banks of the fish ponds.

Mulberry trees raise silkworms, silkworm excrement feeds fish, and pond mud fertilizes mulberry trees. In this way, mulberry ponds can not only produce a large number of fish, but also raise silkworms and reel silk. You should have an idea of ​​how much profit you can make when exporting silk.

Bar?

If you don’t want to plant mulberry trees, you can plant tangerines, tangerines, oranges, grapefruits, lemons, citrons, bergamots, kumquats, kumquats and other fruits unique to the south.

In the past, it was difficult to sell these fruits in the south, but now sea transportation has been developed, and the fruits can be transported to the north in a short time.

Especially in winter, if fruits from the south are transported to the north, they can even be sold for gold prices!

It is no surprise to say that if agriculture is carried out according to this model, the benefits will be much higher than simply growing rice. This will be two cups of three times the benefits, or even ten times the benefits are possible.

With such a high-yield investment, how can you become a liar? I never do anything to harm people."

"Mulberry trees raise silkworms, silkworm excrement feeds fish, and pond mud fertilizes mulberry trees?" Jia Ruolin muttered, her eyes getting brighter and brighter, "This is a good idea. If this is true, Guangdong South Road can also become a land of plenty!

I don’t care about anything else. After I go back this time, I must start with this idea first. If Panyu can have such a mulberry pond, then the people’s lives will be better!”

Zhang Heng asked with a smile: "Jia Zhixian, do you think it's okay?"

Jia Ruolin nodded and said, "I think it's okay!"

He quickly added: "I think Sanggitang's idea is acceptable."

Zhang Heng smiled helplessly and said: "Why doesn't my idea of ​​raising funds to build a dike fence work?"

Jia Ruolin shook her head and said: "I don't know, I don't understand this, I just feel very guilty.

Think about it, this is a major project involving four million yuan, involving hundreds of thousands of households, and may require all the resources of Guangnan East Road to be invested...

Xiaguan is not sure that this dike construction project will be successful. If it succeeds, it will certainly be a new world. But what if it doesn’t succeed? Xiaguan doesn’t dare to think about it!

Guangnan East Road is already poor enough. If it hadn't been a struggle this time, I can't even imagine what it would be like..."

Zhang Heng nodded, looked at the others and said, "What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other in shock and did not dare to speak.

At this time, Shi Mingchen said excitedly: "I think it's okay, I support it!"

Zhang Heng looked at Shi Mingchen and said with some surprise: "Shi Zhixian, aren't you worried?"

Shi Mingchen chuckled and said: "Their county has a strong family background. Even if they don't engage in this thing, they can still survive, but we in Xiangshan can't.

We in Xiangshan have few people and little land. Basically, we only have slightly higher areas where we can grow things. The rest of the areas are swamps. Most of the villagers can only live by fishing for aquatic products in exchange for food. Life is too hard.

Therefore, our Xiangshan built more dykes and other things, but the villagers have limited power and the dykes they built are short and thin. They can only rely on the weather. In years without floods, they can harvest a few buckets of rice. If there is a flood,

All we can do is gain nothing. If we didn’t rely on water to drink, even people wouldn’t be able to survive!

So, what do we poor people have to be afraid of? We just need to use our labor to build the embankment. At worst, our work will be in vain, and we have nothing to lose."

Zhang Heng felt a little heavy when he heard this. From Shi Mingchen's words, it can be heard that the people of Xiangshan were indeed living a very hard life, otherwise it would not be like this.

Zhang Heng looked at the other people.

Jia Ruolin finally spoke.

"Although I don't know what I am sure about, I can give it a try."

Jia Ruolin said: "Old Shi is right, although we in Panyu are getting by, we are just barely surviving.

Guangnan East Road has been poor for so many years, and there is one less courageous transfer envoy like Cao Shuai. Now you have given us this opportunity. If we don't seize it and take charge, the people will also blame us, the parents and officials.

So, do it!"

Jia Ruolin is also relatively prestigious among the magistrates and registrars of various counties. When he said this, other magistrates and counties immediately agreed: "Yes, we have done it too. Damn it, it's time to give it a try. We are in this wilderness state."

If the Manghuang County here does not rise again, it will have to live in poverty for the rest of its life, so let’s do it!”

Zhang Heng laughed: "Your decision will be deeply appreciated by the people in the future."
