Section 137 Saltworks and Shipyards (1)

In the first few years of their rule, the Dutch exploited the indigenous people to the extreme and harvested more than 100,000 deer skins every year. All of these deer skins were eventually sold to Japan.

However, the good times did not last long. Like North American bison, Canadian salmon, and countless other examples, the natives were forced to hunt wildly. Within a few years, the deerskin trade was over - the ecology was completely destroyed, and it will never be seen again until later generations.

There was no recovery. After that, the Dutch began to vigorously recruit immigrants to develop sugar cane cultivation in Tainan to replace the deerskin trade.

Naturally, it is impossible for the Travelers to catch all the fish. In their plan, all the indigenous people on the island will be moved away in the future - large plantations and pastures in Southeast Asia and North America will be placed there, and everyone can become manor owners together with Akito.

All the natives under the rule must break up post-colonialism. This is a basic rule. Those stupid things where hundreds of people suddenly remember that they are a nation and parade around the streets every day asking the government to provide subsidies will definitely not be allowed to reappear.

The deer herds on the island will also remain. At least in this plane of travel, the large herds of deer in Taiwan's central mountains and coastal wetlands will happily survive.

Therefore, regarding the amount of war compensation for the Masiao and Xiao communities, Professor Luo only gave the specific figure after conducting an on-site inspection of the indigenous material reserves. Moreover, he generously stated that in order to protect the ecology, the compensation can be repaid smoothly and an extension is allowed.

.... Just add some interest.

Well, as a price for preserving their homes and children, the people of the two communities of Ma and Xiao not only lost their youth and strength after the defeat, but also suffered economic aggression like HSBC Bank. They will also face heavy labor in the future, and the vitality of the two communities was greatly damaged.

, can no longer hinder the development plan of the Chuangzhong.

The next tasks of the working group are still very busy: they need to mobilize the indigenous people to burn wasteland south to clear the way, coordinate the indigenous people to go to the big officials for daily trade, and also sit in Madou and send people to test the neighbors in the Chiayi area in the north - the Anya tribe.

Taiwan's terrain is well planned: a plain belt surrounds the central mountain range, like a skirt around the mountains. These skirts are naturally divided into blocks by streams and rivers. Through the sphere of influence, it now spans Xingang River and

The next step in the area between Zengwen Creek and Zengwen Creek is naturally the Chiayi area to the north of Zengwen Creek.

One of Professor Luo's tasks here is to investigate the softness and hardness of the Chiayi area and the various societies under the Anya tribe, and assess the strength of each other in order to prepare for the next opening of a new map.

A militia-type unit like the First Battalion will definitely have a period of repair after the war. The soldiers will be doing a good job this time. They will happily go home with the work points exchanged on the spot, and then wait.

Next call up.

...

The surrender of the natives of the Second Society of Masiao has cleared the external obstacles for the three projects of salt production, shipbuilding, and agriculture that Chuanchuan is about to implement.

The first to take action was the salt farm.

A few days after the surrender of Madou Society, a 300-person labor team began to station on a deserted coastal beach north of Xingang Creek and began hard work - transforming the salt fields.

Leading the team is traveler 6 Haiyang. This person’s home before traveling was in the Bohai Bay, next door was the Yangkou Saltworks, and he was the only person in the travel group who knew about the saltworks.

In terms of technical content, opening salt fields is actually not difficult for those who have mastered various measurement tools and meteorological observation methods. The difficulty in making salt lies mainly in labor force: even in later generations, there were various mechanical aids

Today, salt production is still one of the jobs with the toughest working conditions.

The team that traveled through the salt field was naturally more arduous, and they were completely self-made. The 300 people led by 6 Haiyang, while opening salt fields on this tidal flat, also had to build docks, clear vegetation, fill in wetlands, and build residences. The amount of work was huge.

.

The legendary barrel of diesel is far away, and it is impossible to pull cables from the kiln area, so all the above-mentioned projects need to be completed manually...

At present, transportation to the salt field can only rely on sea transportation, which is much more reliable than building a road between wetland lagoons. Naturally, the ship that carries the labor team to open up wasteland is the Yuandou. In addition to some tools and food, the ship also carries

With a few pieces of colored steel plates, you can build a container house later... This is probably the only spiritual encouragement 6 Ocean gets from the big office.

The Yuandou docked at the predetermined beach. The first batch of 100 skilled workers were specially selected and divided into 10 standard groups according to their dormitories. At this time, they began to disembark in an orderly manner. Some people unloaded the cargo on the beach, and others

Some people held torches and began to burn the weeds: this was a matter of life and death. The workers were now very aware of the temper of the people. Clearing vegetation and filling in stagnant water were the highest priority tasks wherever they went.

It is now the end of January in the Gregorian calendar, which is the coolest winter in Taiwan. The Spaniards are watching rain every day in Taipei, but the Tainan Plain is still clear and clear - there are still at least 6 months until Tainan's rainy season arrives in July and August.

This is the biggest advantage of Tainan that is suitable for salt drying: climate. The salt field team led by 6 Haiyang must dry the salt as quickly as possible in the next time. Once there is a sustainable supply of salt, the kiln area will

We are preparing to install electrolysis equipment to prepare some urgently needed chemicals.

...

6 Haiyang and his 300 warriors have to build the earth among the blue sky and wetlands, which is very lonely. In contrast, another construction site in Chuanzhong is much more lively, with a lot of people and big men who pick their feet - the shipyard.

Taijiang Shipyard is a project that has been planned for a long time. However, the project document has always remained on paper and has never been implemented. The reason is simple: lack of shipbuilding materials.

Shipbuilding requires a large amount of wood and iron. After crossing the sea, the transport fleet's top priority is always population and food, and wood and iron will definitely not be transported.

The kiln base was opened, and wood became an abundant product. However, the transportation priority of iron materials was still not high. In addition, the imperial court prohibited large quantities of iron materials from going to sea, so officials have always relied on transport fleets to transport some handmade iron products in scattered pieces.

Living with a small amount of iron.

As a certain force gained a foothold in the big officials, the stalls got bigger and bigger. Steel, or to be precise, using crude iron materials from the Ming Dynasty to refine modern steel, became the key link of the next industrial exhibition. So after the New Year meeting, the big office

In the instructions given to Hangzhou Station, Hangzhou Station has been clearly instructed to find ways to increase the purchase of iron materials and adjust the future cargo ratio of the fleet.
