Chapter 794 Landing Point (Part 2)
In order to educate Zhu Wenqi and Li Chonghe's two children, Li Jie not only took them to see the various poverty among the people, but also personally participated in it, asking them to find ways to help these poor people and experience the joy of helping others, which can also help them to better establish empathy.
For example, Li Jie asked his two children to find a way to solve the current dilemma of Shantang. At the beginning, the two children proposed a way to donate money, but Li Jie really gave them some money and asked them to donate it to Shantang. As a result, they soon found that only part of the money donated was used to improve Shantang, and the remaining part was actually corrupt.
And even if all the money is used in Shantang, there are times when they are used up, which makes the two children feel very frustrated. In fact, they have considered this before, but there is really no other way. And they can't bear to see the elderly and children in Shantang continue to starve, so they donated the money without hesitation.
Li Jie did not criticize the failure of the two children, but patiently analyzed the reasons for the failure with them, and then guided them to find the correct solution. In fact, it is nothing more than teaching people how to fish than giving people fish. If you want to solve the problem of Shantang, you must give Shantang a continuous financial path.
Of course, before finding a continuous financial path for Shantang, you must clean up some of the bad sheep in Shantang. Otherwise, no matter how much money you have, you will be greedy by these people. Just as the donation of the two children before has been exposed by those greedy people, they can just hand it over to the government.
As for the continued financial resources for Shantang, Li Jie also gave some suggestions to his two children, such as buying some land for Shantang, because the food is too cheap now and the price of the land has also dropped a lot. Although the grain produced is sold at a price, it can be left to Shantang to solve dietary problems.
In fact, Shantang had its own fields before, but they were all embezzled. So the problem of Shantang is ultimately a human resources issue, and this requires some modifications to Shantang's management to reduce the chances of others interfering in Shantang's finances.
This problem was still too difficult for the two children, so Li Jie finally took action and helped them formulate a management method for Shantang. The most important thing was to open the property of Shantang, and it must be owned in the name of Shantang, and it must not be bought, sold or transferred. These also require the cooperation of the local government.
There are also some cooperative measures, such as the education of Shantang children, and the need for these children to find a way out when they grow up. You should know that many children who grow up in Shantang have embarked on the path of stealing.
Helping others is the basis of happiness. When two children help others, they also experience the joy of helping others. Although these things seem small, they can have an immeasurable impact on a person's growth. Especially for children like Zhu Wenqi, who are good at the deep palace, although they have been frugal since childhood, they lack the experience that ordinary children should have, so Li Jie tried his best to give him some lessons.
Of course, Li Jie was not just busy with her children during this period. He also helped Zhu Youshuo sort out the information about Oceania, especially the choice of login site, which is the key to the success or failure of login.
"Brother, I think this location is good. According to current information, this should be the northernmost end of Oceania and is closest to the Ming Dynasty. By then, our ships will be able to reach here more easily." Zhu Youshu pointed to a pair of unfinished Oceania maps to Li Jiedao.
This map is made up of the current Oceania data, and most of them are blank. Even most of the coastal areas are not marked accurately, but the area in the northwest has been marked more accurately and does not affect the use.
Li Jie looked at the location of Zhu Youshuo's finger and carefully identified it before finding that the place he pointed to should be the Darwin Port in later generations. Strictly speaking, this is not the northernmost end of Oceania, because in the east, there is also Cape York, which is the northernmost end of Oceania. However, the location of Cape York has not been marked yet, and obviously no one has explored it.
"This is a good place. It is not only closest to the Ming Dynasty, but also facing a larger island in the bay, making the sea area here very calm and can withstand relatively large winds and waves. It is completely possible to build this place into a port." Li Jie looked at the information and compared it for a while before laughing.
The later generations of Darwin Port was one of the most important ports in Australia. Because it is closest to Asia and rich in minerals, it has become an important export port. However, the climate here is not very good. There are only two seasons of rainy season and dry season a year, and it is often attacked by thunderstorms and tornadoes, which also require special attention.
"I also like the conditions here, but I don't know if there are coal mines here. If coal can be found nearby, it can be used as a supply port for steamships, which will be more convenient in the future." Zhu Youshuo said again.
"This should be fine. Even if there is not here, there will definitely be nearby. After all, there are no shortages of minerals in Oceania. In addition, there are also many minerals on various islands in Southeast Asia, but we need to send special people to explore." Li Jie replied with a smile.
"That's true. If coal is not a problem, then why not choose the login site here, so it will be more convenient to interact with the Ming Dynasty in the future." Zhu Youzhu immediately made a decision.
"Okay, since you have decided, I will send more people to collect as much information as possible here, and send people to the inland to check if there is any danger. You can also be prepared for it." Li Jie nodded and said after hearing this.
Zhu Youzhu had no objection to this. Then he took out a copy of Nanyang information and maps, which marked the development of some important islands and ports in Nanyang, including the recent development of Dai Wang and others in Nanyang. Because from Oceania to Ming Dynasty in the future, he would definitely have to pass through Nanyang, and Zhu Youzhu would also need to deal with these Wang uncles at that time.
Li Jie and Zhu Youdun studied the route to Oceania. Because of the many islands in the South Ocean, there are many routes to Oceania, which require different spheres of influence. Some are not under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. After all, the area of the South Ocean is too large. Although the Ming Dynasty dominates the South Ocean, it cannot fully control the South Ocean.
So in the end, Li Jie and Zhu Youzhu also ruled out a lot of routes and chose a route that tried to pass through the Ming sphere of influence. Now, the main thing is that Dai Wang and others have just arrived in Nanyang and have not yet developed their own sphere of influence. With their development in the future, Zhu Youzhu doesn't have to be so careful.
