C1179 Pattern and Breastline (1/2)

A storage of 120 thousand tons was nothing compared to the large scale state-owned grain depots that Xiao Letian had in his previous life, but in the 19th century, they were already world-class large grain depots.

Xiao Letian remembered that the future generations of China had almost 1 million tons of grain reserves in one of the directly subordinate grain depots in Dalian, while the rest of the grain depots in the other provinces also had twenty to thirty thousand tons of different kinds of grain reserves.

This was the New China with a population of over a billion. The increase in land unit output due to the addition of new technologies and chemical fertilizers, as well as a large amount of overseas purchases, could solve the problem of one billion people being fed.

But now, Xiao Letian had relied on the destruction of the Southern Ocean Tropical Rain Forest and the continuous erosion of the living space of the indigenous monkeys, to actually amass such a huge food reserve in a short five years. This was simply a miracle.

With a population of 1 million, if famine were to occur, the lowest standard of life-saving food supply would have to be guaranteed to reach 15,000 tons per month. With 120 thousand tons of rice, it would be sufficient to last the citizens eight months.

This was only one grain depot in the Belait area, then what about the East River Basin? What about the rest of Borneo? Could it be that Xiao Letian really wanted to rely on himself to solve the problem of rations in the entire Great Qing?

Commander EdStefanski swallowed his saliva, ”Oh my god! Could the whole of Nanyang's grain production really support such a large China? This is simply impossible! ”

The muscles on the half of Molière's face that had been crippled were twitching uncontrollably. Xiao Letian is too scary, he is completely different from us Europeans, we are just eating the fattest meat from our prey, and he just wants to chew all the bones and swallow them! ”

”The establishment of the Kentun district in the name of the Chinese, the completion of a large number of migrant towns without challenging the indigenous kings and Western Powers, resulting in the occupation of the fait accompli …”

”What an insidious method, what's the point in giving him time?” ”We have to eliminate him. We can't let this disaster continue …”

Molière belonged to the elite class of France. He had a good education since childhood, and had followed the French Emperor to experience many great strategic aspects of battles after becoming adults. Thus, he was very familiar with colonial culture.

The Western colonization wave had started from the The Age of Great Navigation, but due to various reasons, Europe's colonization of the whole world had always had a huge drawback, which was that they could only colonize on the surface and not on the inside.

The Spaniard conquered the entire continent. They had ruled the continent for nearly four hundred years, but they had yet to complete the colonization process. Portuguese had encountered the same problem when conquering Asia. They could of course take away a lot of precious metals and goods through commerce and plundering, but that was it.

Later on, the Dutch, British, and French new powers did not actually do very well. Even the so-called Pearl India, which was known as the Crown of the Unsetting Sun, was not able to colonize in depth even though the British called it the core of colonization.

The British controlled countless of the King of the Land, and then the King of the Land controlled the Dalits. The British had complete control of the economic, diplomatic, and military lifeline of India, but the British never had direct access to the culture, including the land.

On the Indian subcontinent, if Britain wanted to increase its cotton production by 30%, it would be impossible to direct the decree to the kennel, which was the Indian civilian class, although the entire Indian kennel also had the head of a dodo, including even the Shadiri and the Brahmans, who considered the British colonists to be the highest class.

But no matter how noble your status is, no matter how much respect we have for you, your decree must be carried out in accordance with our cultural traditions.
