C2252 boiling of matter

The papers circulated in the editor's hand, the pens rustled in the notebooks, and the precise figures were admirable. The Carnegie family's report was detailed enough, and trustworthy enough, that the English gentlemen could not refute it.

The Chinese people have shown practical evidence to prove that their strategy is not aggressive, and that Chinese immigration to the South is not a traditional form of colonial aggression.

Barrenlands that the natives and European colonists did not want, barren and dangerous, these displaced Chinese went into the woods, cleared farms from crocodiles and pythons, and built seaports from the most perilous beaches.

They did not rob anyone of their wealth, nor did they affect anyone's interests. Of course, you could say that they took the lands of the natives, but many of the natives did not even have basic government structures and did not call themselves a country.

The so-called ownership of land is actually very vague. The kings can say that this place has been our territory since the ancient times, and the western colonists can also say that this place has long since been placed on the map by us.

Anyone would have said that the Kentons belonged to them, but if you looked at the history, the land they owned was not built at all.

Other than a few Expedition s who occasionally passed by, they did not build a road, a house, or a bridge. Since the beginning of the The Age of Great Navigation and the European colonists' arrival, nothing had changed for hundreds of years.

Until the Chinese came, these Chinese people who were famous for their hard work came here, and used their blood and sweat to exchange for chunks of reclamation area.

But these farms became a thorn in the side for the natives and the colonists. Maybe it was not only a threat, but also a piece of fat. This was the reason for the local war that engulfed the northern part of Borneo.

The Kentun District of the Chinese people produced grain and rice that was completely beneath the notice of the Europeans. It was a small business with the least profits. Why would they do that?

It wasn't that they didn't know how to do business. They also knew that rubber, spices, and mineral deposits were more profitable. They also knew that building a factory for further processing would only increase their profits.

However, in the end, they still followed Xiao Letian's orders. Using their most traditional agricultural economy, they began to expand, and slowly nibble away at the lands of Southeast Asia.

The reason for this strategy was unclear to the Europeans, but the internal management of the Chinese people were clear. Xiao Letian had explained it very clearly earlier.

First of all, this was the nature of Chinese people. Chinese people were born with a sense of crisis towards hunger, and there was not too much food. Hunger had already become a brand in Chinese genes, and they had to ensure food security at all times, this was their bottom line. "Huu."

The Chinese could give up on high profits, but they could not abandon their sense of security. Therefore, even though the reclamation area of Nan Yang did not want to do business with higher profits, they still followed the Führer's orders and chose agriculture.

He was very clear that there would definitely be more wars in the Qing Province in the future, and with the appearance of natural disasters, the quality of life for all would only gradually decline without any obvious improvements.

Just look at the factions and contradictions within the Qing Dynasty. Zai Chun's ambition and those conservative powers had irreconcilable enmity between them, so a civil war was unavoidable.

At a critical moment, money is not good, but food is the strategic ingredient that stabilizes people's hearts.

Xiao Letian controlled the big granary in Nan Yang, and then indirectly controlled the hearts and minds of the people of China. No matter how strong the force of tradition was, it could not compare to eating.

They would rather make less money at the beginning than let the Chinese get a huge stock of food. This was their strategy for the next few decades, and was one of the necessary conditions for the expansion of the stronghold's plan.

At the present, the Chinese did not have a strong navy that could protect the entire Southern Ocean. If he wanted to develop peacefully in the next ten years, he would have to make the other nations of the seas like Britain relax their vigilance. The Ken Tun Region would bypass the money bags of the western colonists and choose industries that they did not want to develop.

With so many layers of analysis and deciphering, the Europeans were naturally sensitive to numbers. When the theory was matched with precise numbers as evidence, the editors present were convinced.

What is called a peerless apostle? This was a truly peerless defense! I am not trying to argue with you, I am not trying to embarrass you.

Perfection like Water, Xiao Letian's logic was like a gentle stream flowing by the side of a road, slowly nourishing the water into the water, finally causing you to be convinced.

At this moment, the editors had no more questions, Benjamin's attacks on them, all gave perfect answers, the so-called Chinese threat made the leader refute it like a big joke.

That day, at noon, Xiao Letian hosted a banquet to entertain these editors. That afternoon, the various major newspapers had already started preparations for the next round of public opinion battles tomorrow.

Today's summer was destined to be a good opportunity for the European press to flourish. Just from the scolding battle between the Eastern and Western Heads of State, the overall newspaper sales volume had increased by 30%.

At this time in Europe, any newspaper would have to publish and reprint news about the Eastern diplomatic mission. This matter was related to money, so who would be at odds with money?

This was a virtuous circle. The more Eastern news was reported, the higher the audience of the readers, and the higher the readers, the more excited the newspapers were to broadcast Oriental news.

The next morning, without question, all the headlines of the newspapers had this interview. Xiao Letian took out the evidence and convinced the countless citizens.

"That's right!" No one will build an ownerless wasteland, would it be better to do so than to build a wasteland for the Chinese? "

"The Chinese reclamation area never gave the Governor a penny less, so why should they use it as a threat if they pay tax in accordance with the law?"

"Is the Qing Empire so weak now? You can't even solve the problem of getting food and drinks for the people? God, it reminds me of that time in Ireland a few years back... Too tragic, too tragic! "

"The Prime Minister's actions were indeed unreasonable. If the Chinese were just building in the wasteland of Southeast Asia, and the main business was nothing but food and animal husbandry, then what threat would it pose to our empire?"

"What does the war between the Chinese, France, and Russia have to do with us? Why does the British Empire want to stand up for them?"

The market immediately boiled up, and the voices that doubted Benjamin could not be heard.

The Downing Street was immediately furious. Benjamin realized that Xiao Letian was simply a shameless representative, even he himself clearly did not want to see, what were you trying so hard for? Staying in England?

"Damned bastard, you want to rely on being a rascal to make me see you?" In your dreams, I will never start a negotiation with you! Someone come, hold a press conference, I have something to say! "
