The meaning of land and population has always been proportional. People in the 21st century may not be able to understand the acreage in the 19th century. Li Mu once noted that the acreage in the 21st century can reach 1,000 kilograms, or even 1,000. Five hundred kilograms, but what is the yield per mu in the nineteenth century? One hundred, or one hundred and fifty, even one hundred and fifty, is the result of careful service. Under normal circumstances, without the help of good varieties and fertilizers, one hundred kilograms is the normal yield.
At this glance, we can understand how many people can Qing Dynasty feed?
Li Mu does not know the specific figures, but Li Mu knows that even in the 21st century, the Republic must guarantee a red line of 1.8 billion acres of arable land. Considering the cultivation efficiency this year, then it is necessary to feed 450 million people in Qing Dynasty. At least four billion acres of arable land are needed.
Does Qing Dynasty have so much land?
No!
Therefore, to solve the problem, it is necessary to increase income on the one hand and reduce the population on the other. At this time, Pacific Corporation has played a huge role.
Why the Qing government knew that Pacific Company was a subsidiary of Junma Group, but remained indifferent. The reason is worth studying.
“Leo, pay attention to people, pay attention to people themselves. The poor need land, and the landlords need new points of profit growth. As for those officials, they are good targets. You have to use those officials to win everyone’s support. This is not Easy, there is a degree, you need to take good care of it. “Li Mu can not say too much with Yan Shun, some things cannot be said too thoroughly, Yan Shun is very good, but has not reached the level of” excellence “, we must clarify the Qing Dynasty In order to solve this problem, Yan Shun must accept some setbacks.
If possible, Li Mu also hopes that Yan Shun’s career will be smooth, but this is obviously impossible. The problem of the Qing Dynasty is one hundred times more complicated than in the United States and one thousand times more complicated than in South America and Luzon. Li Mu can warn Yan Shun and let Yan Shun Not taking any detours, but this does not really help Yanshun. Some things still need to be explored by Yanshun himself. Li Mu cannot help.
The rise of a country is not so simple. Countless traps, countless temptations, if you do n’t pay attention, you will fall into the enemy ’s trap, not even the “enemy”. Sometimes it may come from your comrades. Li Mu understood this long ago. The reason is that the world ’s resources are constant. If one country gets more, then other countries will receive less. Li Mu hopes that the Chinese nation will rise, but this rise cannot be smooth. No country wants the Far East to be established. A strong centralized country, the United States is the same.
Li Mu has more work to do.
“I know Riem, I will be people-oriented and respect the needs of each individual, but Riem, I am increasingly finding that things may not happen as we expected, and most Chinese in Qing Dynasty did not receive modern education, We have no way to let them understand the concepts of ‘freedom, self-esteem, democracy’ and so on. My assumption is that we can first take power and then change a little bit. “Yan Shun has his own ideas, which may not be possible Realized, but it is also possible to do more with less. After all, in another history of time and space, Li Mu has not heard that someone will be so patient.
Let ’s do it. Li Mu does n’t object to Yan Shun ’s attempting something that Li Mu has n’t known. Is step-by-step life meaningful?
Not necessarily. Now Li Mu wants to see something different than what he remembers.
After communicating with Yan Shun, Li Mu’s focus shifted immediately to Vladivostok. Was the revolution of the Qing Dynasty important? It is important, but Li Mu cannot participate in the whole process. As Arthur said, Li Mu is now an American and cannot be too closely connected with the Qing Empire. It is necessary to avoid taboos.
After a long talk with Yan Shun, Li Mu also took the Pacific Fleet ship to Vladivostok.
During this period, there was an interlude. The warship Li Mu was going to go to Vladivostok through the waters of the Qing State. The Beiyang fleet of the Qing State obeyed the order of the Qing State and intercepted the ship that Li Mu was riding on.
But unfortunately, after consultations between Li Mu and the senior officials of the Beiyang Fleet, the Beiyang Fleet did not find it difficult for Li Mu, so it was so easy to let Li Mu ’s warships go to Vladivostok through the waters of the Qing Dynasty.
This caused a certain amount of heated discussion in the Qing Dynasty, but Li Mu didn’t care. After arriving in Vladivostok, Li Mu confided to Chen Guofang: “Without Francis, the Qing government cannot take coercive measures against me now. They can certainly protest and be angry. But, what about that? No warship dared to fire at me. The Qing government couldn’t afford the consequences. I arrived in Vladivostok safely, and that was it. “
Li Mu is not worried that the Qing government dares to take the world by storm. It is an obvious fact that even if Li Mu is now engaged in some activities against the Qing government, but this activity is not at the official level, so Li Mu can do whatever he wants.
But at the same time, the Qing government was tied up. Is it that the Qing government dare to take any measures against Li Mu?
Don’t make fun of it. If the Qing government really did this, it would no longer be a corporate action like the Junma Group, but a state action like the United States, which is a consequence that the Qing government cannot bear.
“Well, you are always right, look at our new Vladivostok, this is the city of all Vladivostok people, but also your city.” Compared to when he was in Washington, Chen Guofang is now confident and fundamental. The Qing government was not taken into account.
Well, living in a gas and moving body, as the status increases, the ideological level will also increase accordingly. When Chen Guofang was in Hawaii, he was just a wealthy merchant in Hawaii. Except for the Chinese, Chen Guofang basically did not have any Influence.
Now Chen Guofang is different. With the experience of members of Congress, now as the head of a state, Chen Guofang no longer fears anyone, let alone the government. When facing Li Mu, Chen Guofang can make jokes. This is a great deal. improvement.
“Very good, very good, even better than I expected.” Li Mu was really surprised. The current Vladivostok is very different from the Russian Vladivostok under the rule of Russia.
Vladivostok under Russian rule is basically an army city.
What is the concept of “Military City”?
No economy, no people’s livelihood, everything is for military service, looking around, there are icy fortresses and rampant turrets, no matter how you look at it, it is not flattering.
Today Vladivostok is different. Led by the Steed Group, Standard Oil, Morgan Bank, DuPont Military Industries, and even Carnegie-Rim Steel have all invested heavily in Vladivostok. Of course, these investments are also focused, and some companies The commitments made by Vladivostok are not necessarily fulfilled, but the basic investment made by the Vladivostok government is the same. Regardless of whether the commitments of the large enterprises will be honored, the Vladivostok government will spare no effort to invest in cities and ports. What Li Mu now sees is the efforts of the Vladivostok government The scene after the expansion.
It was indeed an effort to expand. Before the Russians transferred control of Vladivostok to the Americans, Vladivostok had only four terminals and could only moor 10,000-ton ships.
Now it has been greatly improved. With the efforts of the Vladivostok government, the port of Vladivostok has been expanded to eleven terminals. The largest terminal can dock 100,000-ton cruise ships. This data sounds a bit exaggerated because the largest cruise ships in the United States are also Not up to 100,000 tons, but what about it? The Vladivostok government did not spend a penny of the Vladivostok government to build the port. All the investment was advanced by the Steed Group, and the workers were unpaid labor hired from Japan. Is there any reason for the Vladivostok government to reject such a project?
No!
Not at all, so Chen Guofang really feels at ease.
Around the port, the warehouse area of the wharf has been constructed, which is the investment of Junma Group. The Vladivostok government is happy to see it. As long as the tax is collected in the future, there is no need for Vladivostok government to do this. In addition, there are also Junma Group, Standard Oil and Morgan Bank’s offices built on the dock are all concentrated in one street, which has caused the land near the dock to rise and rise. The Vladivostok government is happy to see this. With the tax levied near the dock, It can basically support half of Vladivostok’s urban infrastructure.
“Lei came to Vladivostok a year ago and designed a very large-scale modern city with sewers, subways, ground transportation, and pedestrian streets. If all is completed, Vladivostok will be better than New York City and become the most suitable city for human habitation. I have only one question now. Whether or not to announce the plan of Vladivostok, maybe we will be a blockbuster, or we will make a big splash. I am promoting the passage of the bill in parliament. No one will be allowed to discredit the construction of Vladivostok under any circumstances. “Chen Guofang’s ideal is big, which clearly wants to build Vladivostok into a Chinese kingdom.
“Good idea, if you are sure, then go for it. Now in Vladivostok, we must not only attract Chinese immigrants from the Qing Dynasty, but also white immigrants from the United States—” Having said that, Li Mu noticed that Chen Guofang would interject So Li Mu raised his hand and did not give Chen Guofang a chance: “The first thing to emphasize is that whether it is white or Chinese, as long as they are willing to immigrate to Vladivostok and if they are willing to join U.S. citizenship, they are all part of the United States.”
If possible, Li Mu is also willing to build a Chinese-only Vladivostok, but this idea is unlikely to exist in recent years. When Li Mu incorporated Vladivostok into the United States and sought US protection, Vladivostok was destined to be impossible for several years. To obtain independent status, of course, Li Mu hopes that white Americans will not be interested in Vladivostok, but it is difficult to guarantee that it is not far from Europe to the United States. Is it far from the United States to Vladivostok?
Not necessarily!
“I know, I know, politics is correct. At this point, I will not make mistakes–” Chen Guofang is also very clever, doing things very modestly, and understanding Li Mu’s intentions is deep enough: “Now Every month, there are about 100,000 Qing nationals and 10,000 Americans requesting to settle in Vladivostok. Our conditions are the same for everyone. We should distribute land, distribute land, pay taxes and pay taxes. In Vladivostok, white people also It ’s not going to pay one more son than the Chinese. Now the most important thing is the army. I think there should be at least two divisions, all of which are Chinese, but the Ministry of War does not think so. The Ministry of War requires all troops to be To be formed by the United States, this should be considered discrimination against us.
The question raised by Chen Guofang was very sharp, and Li Mu could not give a standard answer. Although Li Mu’s relationship with Arthur and Sherman was very good, but that was a big starting point for each other without threatening US interests. The conflict, Li Mu did not know what Arthur and Sherman would do.
In fact, he is afraid of hemp straw hitting both wolves.
“Never mind this kind of thing, your most important task is to provide benefits to the residents of Vladivostok, to prevent any complaints from the residents of Vladivostok, to treat Chinese and white people equally, and not to target in recent years, ten years, Twenty years, even a century, and then we will talk about our ideals. “Li Mu has time. After a century, Li Mu is only 80 years old, is he old? No, Li Mu will have a lot of time then.
In the evening, Chen Guofang held a welcoming dinner for Li Mu in Luzhou, Vladivostok.
In fact, when Chen Guofang came to Vladivostok, he faced more difficulties than Li Mu imagined. On the day Li Mu came to Vladivostok, he probably learned that Chen Guofang’s situation was more severe than Li Mu’s assumption.
“Francis is a Republican. This is indisputable, but the Democratic Party has not given up Vladivostok. In the next presidential election, Vladivostok will have its own electoral votes. Although the number of votes is not large, if Vladivostok is in a campaign, The voter’s vote will play a decisive role. At present, the Democrat’s spokesperson in Vladivostok is Thomas Chamberlain. This person’s ability is not good, but he has a good relationship with the Qing government. He will participate in three years later. Vladivostok’s governor election, it seems that his win is not high, but this is a hidden danger after all. “After Yan Shun left Li Mu, Li Jie became the close secretary of Li Mu, which did not meet the requirements of the Steed Group, but Li Jiefu was Li Muqin’s candidate, so Li Jiefu became the closest person to Li Mu.
“Thomas Chamberlain, what about this person? Will it cause any obstacle to us?” Li Mu now sees people more than just parties. Democrats and Republicans are the same. Not all Republicans are single-minded with Li Mu, nor are they All Democrats will demolish Li Mu’s platform.
“No, Cleveland first said that Mr. Chamberlain can trust.” Li Jiefu’s work is well-formed, but still not mature enough. Strictly speaking, Li Jiefu should not say this.
