Chapter 34 Luoyang Mansion (8)

"Brother, the new capital is also very ordinary, not as evil as the legend." Just after noon, a group of hungry people rushed into a small village in the northern part of Shendu District, and then sat down in a restaurant at the entrance of the village, shouting and asking the store to serve the food quickly.

The Shendu District is vast and is the largest of the six districts under Luoyang Prefecture, but the population is the smallest, which shows its desolation. This small village is located in the north of the Shendu District, and it is also the wilderness in the wilderness. If it weren't for the post road to Peru built in the Spanish era, the population here might be smaller.

From this we can also see how unbalanced the development between the districts of the new capital is. Let’s not talk about the Beicheng District, which has the most official spirit and the Nancheng District, which has the most prosperous business, but also the Yuquan District, Luoyi District and Mingjing District, which have developed from scratch, are far inferior to Shendu District in terms of population, economy and culture. What Shendu District currently relies on is a large area of ​​developing arable land except for the large mule and horse markets that have moved here and several factories under construction (mostly for transportation and equipment manufacturing industries).

But how to say the thing about arable land is not bad, you have to look at where you have to look. In China, India, which has a high population density, it is naturally a huge wealth that allows the disciples to have no worries for life. But on the east coast, there are only 10 million people, but the area of ​​arable land is not inferior to those two countries. It can be seen that arable land is worthless on the east coast, but it is really not worth a lot. Don’t you see that the large areas of wasteland in China are all mechanized farms built by the state, investing funds, technology and manpower?

There were also some privately operated small farms, which were relatively small. Many areas were even greater than the size of the territory of most nobles in the old continent. However, the grain prices were sluggish in recent years. The central and local governments at all levels also had doubts about investing a large amount of fiscal funds to protect the price to purchase grain, which greatly hit many private farm operators. Over time, there are fewer people who are willing to do this business now. In addition to those who have signed fifty years and sixty years of long contracts, they are still insisting on it. Twenty years and thirty years of short contracts are basically liquidated and disbanded, and they use funds to engage in other projects. Now that the east coast economy is developing greatly, there are many opportunities, so why should we hang ourselves on the tree of agriculture?

In the deep inland area of ​​Shendu District, naturally no one comes to enclose farms. Although the Shendu District Government is very eager, and even says that the rent can be levied at half, and there are preferential taxes such as business tax (exempted in the first five years and levied at half in the next five years), there are still few responses. In addition to some foreign investors who hope to develop good government relations and plan to develop on the East Coast, you can't say that you are willing to invest in this business. Since this year, more than a dozen Jewish wealthy businessmen have signed land lease agreements with the East Coast government and started to build farms. For this reason, they have received some praise from their own businessmen. They are keeping away from this and are troublesome.

Therefore, when Jin Zhennan and his group entered the Shendu District, they saw a deserted area, which was simply two worlds with the prosperous eastern coastal area.

Of course, they were not willing to start a thankless business like a farm. Although they no longer planned to continue to be "hunters", they still wanted to set up a trading company to sell the East Coast daily necessities to Charkas and sell the rich local cinchona frost to the East Coast. This is what their group of brave and ruthless people are best at, rather than just waving their hoes to farm.

By the way, in the previous case of Xingren Town, Jin Zhennan finally chose to sell the clues to the local government instead of recruiting people to track and capture the Indians. They wandered in the gray areas all year round and naturally knew how valuable it is to sell the government to a favor. Therefore, after receiving a thousand yuan bounty, everyone distributed the money and dispersed a part. Jin Zhennan took ten old brothers south, intending to register a company in Luoyang Prefecture, officially whitewashed and switched to a legitimate business.

"Idiot, this is the edge of the Shendu District, of course I am poor. Didn't you pay attention to the road monument I just walked on? The three words "Luoyang Realm" are so big, are you blind?" Another big man with black face and beard sneered.

"Damn, Hu Heitan, why are you so arrogant? You don't know that I can't read, I'm showing off my lemon." The man who was holding a lamb chop to bite was unhappy and said with a fierce look on his eyes.

"If you can't read, learn more. Brother Jin is about to start a company. We are all entrepreneurial veterans and shareholders. We can't be so vulgar in the future. Alas, my ancestors have been farming in Jinan Prefecture for 18 generations. They have not produced half of their cultural talents. I have wasted my great talents. Only by learning from Brother Jin can I have the opportunity to recognize some words. In the future, I can only count on my son to be promising, study and become an official, and let me enjoy a few days of happiness."

"Haha! Hu Heitan, you are so talented, so you are so talented, I'm so proud! Your son? Your wife doesn't have a son from where? You're just fucking nonsense."

"It's not easy to find a wife?" Hu Heitan smiled, took out a stack of money from his pocket and slapped it on the table, and said, "The Han woman can't marry her. I'm not easy to marry a Spanish woman? Let me tell you, I still like the blonde and blue-eyed beard. The Spanish family we made last summer, the mistress's figure is really, tsk tsk..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jin Zhennan poured the milk tea in the bowl on the proud Hu Heitan's face and angrily scolded: "You kid can't control your mouth anymore, don't blame the elder brother for not talking about brotherhood."

Hu Heitan knew that he had made up his words and stopped arguing with others. He lowered his head to eat.

"Brother Jin, I heard that the south of Luoyang Prefecture is actually very good. Yuquan District, Luoyi District, and Beicheng District are all inhabited by tens of thousands of people, which is no worse than those ordinary counties. The most prosperous Nancheng District, last time I heard that there were more than 80,000 residents, which is already considered a big city. Why don't we go to Nancheng District to settle down? I'll go and open my eyes too." Perhaps seeing the atmosphere was a bit dull, a hunter named Qi Sanmao spoke.

"Well, the Nancheng District is good. There are many shops and a large population. Rich people like to buy industries there. I heard that every time the Yuqing Palace runs a temple, thousands of pilgrims flock to them. Good men and women donate money without blinking. They think it is a wealthy place." After pouring himself a bowl of milk tea, Jin Zhennan stroked her beard on her jaw and nodded slowly.

Thinking about the difficult life over the past two years, Kim Jinna was also a little dazed for a moment. When he took over the family mission and immigrated to the East Coast with several military children to make a living, Kim Jinna felt like he was a different life.

When he first arrived, he was shocked by the prosperous scenery of Qingdao Port Expo Street, and then he saw the many steam boats sailing on the Song River and Wujiang River. Then he experienced the rural scenery of the east coast that was very different from North Korea in the Hexi region. All of this opened his eyes and felt that the first half of his life was really in vain. Of course, what impressed Jin Zhennan the most was actually the hard life of sleeping in the wind and open on the Chako Plain and the Pampa Grassland. It was really too hard. The physical fatigue can only be said to be average. What blew the most willful is actually the loneliness that kept coming, which made people desperate.

Fortunately, all this is finally over. Over the past two years, they have saved a lot of money and are more than enough to open a trading company. Although they are worse than those big traders in the middle of the country, aren’t the tall buildings all from the plains? Jin Zhennan is confident that with the assistance of these old brothers, with the courage to fight and fight, the company’s business has been prosperous step by step.

What is the hard way to go to Charkas? We have suffered no matter how hard it is. What are the local Indians afraid of being unfriendly? There are countless Indians who have been arrested and killed in the past few years! As long as we recruit a group of people, we will not dare to have any thoughts on those Indians.

As long as you successfully gain a foothold in Luoyang Prefecture, then the families far away in North Korea would probably have no worries. The political struggle in Hanyang City is too fierce and cruel. Even though the Jin family relies on the appreciation of the people on the East Coast, their current status is still stable. But after all, the family background and background are still too poor, and they are quite looked down upon by the two nobles. Furthermore, do you really have no objection to the Jin family, which is closely related to the East Coast? Haha, how about the whole family who has lived in Xiangyang, Gancheng and Gaocheng over the years? I don’t know how many open and secret arrows have been taken. If they hadn’t had the territory and the army at hand, the court would not dare to take action openly, the whole family would have been destroyed long ago. The whole family is like this, and the Jin family should take it as a warning. The Li family in Hanyang City is not a broad-minded person.

You must make a name for yourself on the East Coast as soon as possible! Only by making a name for yourself can you have the opportunity to improve your social status and come into contact with more important people. With the friendship between these big figures, Kim Jinna can "respect the East" and feed back to North Korea's family, so that their foundation of the Paektushan Kim family will last forever. Whenever you think of this, Kim Jinna is full of fighting spirit, which is also one of the main reasons why he can persist on the grassland for so long.

"Hurry up and say less nonsense. After eating, continue on the way and go to Nancheng District." Jin Zhennan finished drinking milk tea, grabbed a big cake and ate it with a sausage. While eating, she reminded her: "The birds in Shendu District are not shitty, the power of the North City District is too strong, and Yuquan District is full of scholars like gods. After thinking about it, only Nancheng District is the most suitable for us to take root. When you get there, you will put away all the bandits' aura and you are not allowed to drink and cause trouble. Otherwise, I will not be able to catch you out after being in prison. At the foot of the emperor, the place of charity is not that easy to mess with."

"I know, brother. Don't worry, we are going to live a good life, not fighting and causing trouble. Now Luoyang Prefecture is built so beautifully, and many yamen in the court have been moved here. The truth is right and go and have fun." Everyone responded one after another.
