Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

"Can't the Konbaung Federation export its grain to other countries in exchange for foreign currency? Why does it have to exchange it for our country's weapons?" Zeng Zhengcang, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask after hearing what He Yuzhu said.

"There are not many countries in the world that can produce weapons, but those that can produce weapons are basically not short of food. The arms trade is also a highly profitable industry. How could they be willing to exchange arms for food that they can't even finish eating in their own country? There is only so much food traded in the international market every year. Even if the Konbaung Federation wants to export it, no one will buy it!"

"Anyway, our country has a large population, and we can consume any amount of food produced by the Konbaung Federation. Therefore, we are the only one who dares to promise them that they can exchange food for weapons at will. This way, the farmers in their country will be willing to reclaim wasteland and grow more food. We can also obtain a large amount of food by exporting weapons and equipment to them, thereby improving our country's food supply." He Yuzhu explained patiently.

"But won't this be suspected of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries?" Zeng Zhengcang asked.

"How can we interfere in other countries' internal affairs? Although Thakin Xiu Maung's military government came to power through a coup, the current situation shows that Thakin Xiu Maung's military government is the only legitimate government in Konbaung Federation. How can we interfere in their internal affairs by doing business with the legitimate government of Konbaung Federation? Moreover, we can allow Konbaung Federation to exchange food for other industrial products of our country in the later stage, which can not only meet the industrial needs of Konbaung Federation, but also increase the orders of our country's factories."

"Our country's annual ration for urban residents is limited. What if we get too much grain in exchange for it and can't digest it? We can't just keep it in the warehouse forever. If it goes bad over time, it will be a waste," Zeng Zhengcang asked.

"Then increase the rations for urban residents, so that they can eat more. If the rations for urban residents with a population of over 100 million people are increased by one kilogram per person per month, we can consume over 100 million kilograms of food."

"What about the food produced by our farmers? What if our country also has bumper harvests year after year?"

"If we can have bumper harvests year after year, that would be even better. We can then build more large-scale pig farms, which can not only solve the problem of grain harvest, but also solve the problem of meat supply for urban residents."

M Lide interrupted the conversation with a smile and said, "Haha, Comrade Xiao He is really good at foreign trade! Xiao He, let me ask you, if our country buys food from the Konbaung Federation according to the international food price, but the international food price is higher than our country's food price, what should we do with the price difference?"

"We buy food from the Konbaung Federation at international prices, and naturally we sell weapons and equipment to them at international prices. Isn't the profit from weapons and equipment enough to make up for the price difference of the purchased food?" He Yuzhu asked without hesitation.

"Although we provide weapons to the Konbaung Federation in the name of aid, in fact, the transaction is still conducted in the manner of international trade. Only in this way is it fair to both us and the Konbaung Federation. It's just that our country takes care of the Konbaung Federation during the transaction. Moreover, this transaction does not involve the use of swords and can avoid the influence of America."

"Comrade Xiao He's method is good. We can refer to this transaction method when doing business with other countries in the future." Prime Minister Z said with a smile.

"Xiao He, there is a more difficult problem now. You proposed that the Konbaung Federation return the entire Kachin State. Now the Konbaung Federation has agreed to return Kachin State to us, but the Kachin people living in this area are unwilling to return to our country."

"Once we sign a border treaty with the Konbaung Federation, we will have to manage this area, which may lead to conflicts. Do you have any good ideas that will allow us to govern Kachin State openly?"

"This is easy to solve. There must be ethnic groups in our Caiyun Province that belong to the same ethnic group as the Kachin. As long as we and the military government of the Konbaung Federation recognize that they are the same ethnic group, then our two countries can let all the people of this ethnic group vote to decide their affiliation. As long as the number of our people exceeds the number of Kachin people in the Konbaung Federation, then based on the principle of minority obeying the majority, they can only join our country."

"As long as the voting results come out, Western countries will have no excuse to blame our country. This is the result of the so-called Western democratic voting method, and they have no choice but to admit it. After signing the border treaty with the Konbaung Federation, we must move a large number of immigrants to Kachin State and completely change the local population composition in a short period of time. In this way, even if Western countries want to accuse us of not resolving the issue publicly afterwards, it will be of no use."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, M Lide and Prime Minister Z looked at each other. They did not expect that He Yuzhu could so easily come up with a solution to the Kachin State issue. M Lide also liked He Yuzhu more and more.
