    "You don't have to be eighteen!" Luo Lin smiled bitterly: "There are even those who are fourteen or fifteen, but this cannot be judged by age alone. I have been practicing for these years, and you are watching over me, and I still walk on thin ice every day.  , If he were to be replaced all at once, things would be messed up. " "That's true!" Chen Zaixing nodded: "But things always have to happen slowly. After all, he is the legitimate king, and he will be in this position one day.  It belongs to him. Why don't you give Luo Qin some simple things and let him practice his skills first? " "Let's not talk about it now. It's still early anyway!" Luo Lin shook his head, as if he wanted to talk about this.  The troubles were thrown out of his head: "Husband, you just said that you came back from Yangon this time and brought back a guest who will become an extremely important partner. What is going on?" Chen Zaixing saw his wife  With such an appearance, he knew that deep down in his heart he was not willing to let Luo Qin officially ascend the throne as king, so he couldn't help but feel reassured and said with a smile: "Just wait a moment, I will show you something interesting." At this point  , Chen Zaixing ordered the maid outside: "Come, go to my yard and get a bicycle!" "Bicycle?" Luo Lin looked confused. She has been busy with political affairs in the past few years, how can she be with her brother?  He was resting and playing around like that, completely ignorant of these new gadgets.  "Come on, come out and take a look and you'll find out!" Chen Zaixing pulled his wife out of the door. After a while, someone brought a bicycle over. Chen Zaixing jumped on the bicycle and rode two laps in the yard below.  In front of Lin, he smiled and said: "You can try it too, it's very simple!" "This, will you fall?" Luo Lin was a little scared and looked at the bicycle with some longing. Although she has the title of Princess Regent,  There is also a two-year-old child, but he is only in his early twenties. If he is just an undergraduate in future generations, how can he not be curious when seeing this novel thing.  "Why did you fall? Just ride slower. At most, I will support you from behind!" Chen Zaixing put the handle of the bicycle into his wife's hand. Luo Lin doubtfully got on the bicycle with Chen Zaixing's help and began to pedal down.  At first, the bicycle was still shaking a little, but soon, with the help of Chen Zaixing, the bicycle regained stability. Chen Zaixing carefully let go of his hand holding the back seat. Luo Lin's long hair floated in the breeze.  , revealing her white cheeks, the beautiful princess let out a crisp laugh.  "It's so interesting! I didn't expect this bicycle to ride so fast!" Luo Lin got off the bicycle with some excitement. After strenuous exercise, her pink cheeks were already covered with fine beads of sweat. She casually took it from Chen Zaixing and handed it over.  He took a hot towel and wiped his sweat while asking: "Where did this bicycle come from? Is it a gift from that customer?" "You guessed it wrong! I watched Luo Qin play with it and thought it was quite interesting, so I  I bought a few, it¡¯s not bad!¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± Luo Lin nodded: ¡°It¡¯s made by foreigners, right? It¡¯s really good, it¡¯s faster than running, and it saves effort, but this and that  What does the guest have to do with it?" Chen Zaixing didn't answer immediately. He turned the bicycle over with the wheels up, pointed at the wheels wrapped in black tires and asked, "Look what these wheels are made of?"  "Wheel?" Luo Lin looked closely at the wheel, then reached out and pinched it: "It's not iron or wood. It's very elastic. It seems to be made of some kind of leather." "It's made of rubber!" Chen Zaixing did not continue to beat around the bush.  , he patted the tire twice, and the elastic pneumatic tire bounced his palm high: "As you can see, a big reason why this kind of vehicle can run so fast is because of this tire.  Otherwise, when encountering bumpy and uneven ground, the axles and wheels will be easily damaged, and the craftsmen will have to make the car very heavy. As a result, a large car cannot hold many things. If it is replaced with rubber tires, at least it can hold more.  Twice the amount. Just imagine how many vehicles there are in the world and how much rubber is needed for tires?¡± ¡°Did you and that customer just talk about rubber?¡± Luo Lin was not a fool and understood immediately.  After hearing what Chen Zaixing meant, an excited look immediately appeared on his face.  Youdao doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are until she becomes the regent. She realizes that money has to be spent everywhere, whether it's recruiting new troops, repaying loans, officials' salaries, building weapons factories, donating to monasteries, etc.  Buying nobles requires a large amount of money, but there are very few ways to get money. They are nothing more than agricultural taxes, customs taxes, head taxes, mineral taxes, income from royal territories, and Shunhua Company's annual shareholder dividends.  Compared with the huge river of expenditure, the Royal Government¡¯s revenue is simply a trickle, which is gone in the blink of an eye.  "Yes, rubber is processed from the gum of a special tree native to Brazil, South America. The climate in some parts of the Kingdom of Myanmar is comparable to the origin of this tree."It seems that Mr. Bunge plans to rent part of the land in the Kingdom to build a rubber plantation!  "    "Very good!  Luo Lin's cheeks turned red with excitement. She took a few steps back and forth, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Husband, what do you think?"  " "I have sent a small team of guards to escort Mr. Bangi to Mon State to inspect land suitable for planting rubber trees.  If possible, I hope the Royal Government will give Shun Hua Company the authority to acquire any land in Mon State!  According to my preliminary estimate, if this business is successful, the royal family will receive at least more than 300,000 pounds in dividends from this transaction.  "When Chen Zaixing said this, he looked quietly into his wife's eyes. "No problem, I will ask Diok to sign a warrant for you right away. In the name of the king, Shunhua Company is authorized to requisition a total of no.  Is more than 20,000 hectares of land enough?  " " According to the preliminary plan, it is enough!  "Chen Zaixing did not say anything. He added: "Also, Shunhua Company must obtain the Kingdom's unique franchise rights for the rubber industry. The seeds and seedlings of this crop are very precious and must be prevented from being stolen.  " "That's natural!  Any thief who steals rubber seeds and seedlings will be hanged!  His property was to be sold at auction to compensate the plantation owners for their losses, and if there was any deficiency, his wife and children were sold as slaves, the proceeds of which would go to the planters.  "Luo Lin's voice was cold and powerful, in sharp contrast to the softness just now. "Mon State is like a long and narrow arm of the Kingdom of Myanmar, stretching out to the Indian Ocean. The westernmost mountains of the eastern plateau of Myanmar stretch into Mon State  , gradually turns into a low mountain range with a height of 1500 feet to 500 feet above sea level, separating Mon State and the Kingdom of Thailand from the Andaman Sea and Motama Bay.  In between is the fertile and humid coastal plain and the winding coastline. Due to the humid climate, fertile land, and a large number of harbors suitable for shipping, Meng is also quite far from the inland capital Mandalay.  The state is far from the mainstream of the Kingdom of Myanmar in terms of race, customs, etc. Even in the heyday of the kingdom, the wealthy and powerful Mon State, far away from the capital, was in a semi-reclusive status, and many of them failed in dynastic infighting.  The nobles and royal families often fled to Mon State to escape the pursuit of the victors. Moulmein, the capital of Mon State, the second largest river in Myanmar, the Salween River (the Nu River in China), flows into Moulmein near this city.  Tamar Bay is across the sea from Yangon. It is also the largest port still controlled by the Kingdom of Myanmar. ¡°Get out of the way, get out of the way, and give way to the distinguished Governor!  "With the rude shouts of the guards and the sharp sound of the whip tearing the air, the women, porters, and vendors carrying water jugs on their heads hurriedly squeezed to both sides of the street, and an open space was immediately revealed in the originally crowded street.  Then, surrounded by a dozen guards carrying rifles, a gorgeously decorated elephant slowly walked over. The farmers and small townsfolk on the roadside hurriedly knelt on the ground and approached the governor, the king, on the elephant's back.  The representative paid his respects and squatted on the ground, sneering at the elegantly dressed Governor-General on the elephant, who was lazily beating his hat. Next to him were two cages with six or seven chickens in them.  , and some fresh sea fish. It turned out that after he was in danger in Mandalay last time, he decided to leave that place of trouble, so he came to Mawlamyine, a relatively safe place. When he arrived here, he felt that it was densely populated.  , there were many businessmen traveling from place to place, so they purchased fresh poultry and seafood from the suburbs and transported them to the city for sale. The business turned out to be pretty good, so they took root here. ¡°Song Shen, the Governor is here.  How dare you not kneel?  "A voice interrupted Song Shen's thoughts. He turned around and saw that she was a woman in her early thirties, with a plump figure and a bit of beauty. She was the proprietress of a restaurant, and she was the buyer who ordered poultry and seafood from him.  "He is a human being, and I am a human being, why should I kneel to him?  Song Shen sneered, lifted the two baskets over, and asked, "Where should you put the seven roosters, as well as the eels and tuna you want?"  " "Hurry and get to the back of the kitchen!  It's so dirty here!  "The proprietress hurriedly ordered. Song Shen snorted coldly and walked towards the back of the kitchen carrying two bamboo baskets. The proprietress looked at Song Shen's back and said to herself: "He is a human being, and you are a human being too.  There is a huge difference between a person and a person, but this stinky man has a sharp mouth!  "The woman cursed in her mouth, but followed Song Shen to the back of the kitchen. The woman walked along the alley, turned a corner, and only asked about the smell of poultry feces and seafood.  The smell hit her nostrils. The woman covered her nose, spat, and walked over. She happened to see several clerks in her shop weighing chickens, ducks and sea fish, selecting fat and thin, and bargaining. Songshen was  Standing aside with his hands folded, his face looked indifferent, as if he was worried about the price.??Looks like he doesn't care too much.  "It's four pieces of Yingyang in total. The business will continue to grow in the future, how about it?" The head of the waiter raised his head and quoted a price.  Thank you to book friends Feng Jinghai and Dalu Xunqi for the reward. I chatted with the book friends in the group last night. Everyone knows that my book was originally signed with the original, and later the original was merged with Chuangshi, but now  Due to the problems between the two companies and the insufficient performance of the book, the creator may not be willing to continue to execute the buyout contract. Weber also hopes to continue writing and finish the book.  But it is impossible for me to write code in Genesis with the share-sharing contract, because the share here is almost zero. Please forgive me for this.  I will post the outline of this book later. If you like it and want to see the whole book, please support me more. If you think it doesn't matter, then it doesn't matter.
