During the review of experts, several plans were drawn up for the earth, rock dam and water conservancy project on the south bank of the Zambezi River. Such a major project cannot be decided immediately. It requires repeated surveys and discussions, and the draft of each plan can be carefully crafted before the final decision can be finalized.

After all, this is a major water conservancy project that needs to last for 12 years. It has invested countless manpower and material resources, and sufficient caution is a necessary attitude.

Some people will say;

Mozambique has nothing now, and immigration has just begun. Are you too hasty to start planning major water conservancy projects so early?

Those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough to plan for a domain.

As a major infrastructure project related to the national economy and people's livelihood, unless Mozambique is not developed, the water conservancy project of the south bank is imperative, which is completely impossible to save.

There are more than 500 kilometers of river channels in the lower reaches of the Zambéci River, and more than 300 kilometers of floods are likely to overflow. In the event of a once-in-a-century flood, most of the more than 300,000 square kilometers of the entire Mozambique Plain will be threatened, and the losses will be astonishing.

From Li Fushou's perspective, we must not be lucky enough to think that a once-in-a-century flood is extremely difficult to encounter. This is completely irresponsible for the lives and property of colonial immigrants and is a crime.

Moreover, the construction period is 12 years. What kind of prosperity will the Mozambique Plain be like after twelve years?

We can't consider this major water conservancy project in more than ten years, so that the prosperous plains are always under the threat of deadly floods.

In Enzo Town, several days, several alternatives were gradually finalized.

Li Fushou led his group to board the boat again, followed the main stream of the Zambesi River and arrived in Seoul City a day later, met with his wife who had arrived here in advance, and settled in Santa Maria Castle.

The Zambezi River Basin is rich in gold, and the tradition of gold hunting has lasted for more than 200 years, and it can still produce more than 100,000 ounces of gold every year.

In the past, these gold mines were owned by the Portuguese Governor's Office. The gold was mined and collected in Seoul City, and then shipped to Mozambique Island, waiting for warships from Portugal to be transported back to the country, year after year to supplement the Portuguese royal expenses and inject strong vitality into the local economy.

Now the ownership of these gold mines belongs to Hongbao. Hongbao deposits gold into Huitong Bank, and then mints coins based on the increased gold reserves to enter the market for circulation, enhance market liquidity, and further revitalize the economy.

Seoul Huitong Bank

This is a typical Spanish-style two-story building in the late 17th century, with pointed arched doors and windows and intricately carved stone arches. It was originally a great Portuguese aristocrat, but now it has become the central branch of Huitong Bank in the Mozambique region.

In the basement vault

Wu Mozhou, the senator and chief executive of Africa, was accompanying the Count to inspect. In front of him were large pieces of cast gold bricks, neatly placed in more than 10 piles, all as high as waist.

"Mr. Yuan Ding, the more than 10,000 ounces of gold we seized from Seoul City, and the gold mines produced in the next few months were here, with a total of 43,700 ounces. When we were about to return, we were transported back to the local area by the heavy cruiser of the "Hyung Woo". In addition, there were more than 30 tons of ivory, which were also escorted back. I have really cleared my foundation."

Hearing Wu Mozhou's complaints, Li Fushou smiled and said, "I know what you mean, I just want to ask for more construction funds. I won't take your gold in vain. This time the fleet brought a large number of copper pennies and silver shillings produced by mints, worth up to 3 million pounds. Most of them will be used as capital of Huitong Bank for loans to help migrants settle down and build homes. A small part will be used as the start-up capital of the Mozambique project construction. This part will not be much, about 500,000 pounds, as the advance funds will be allocated this year."

This is easy to calculate. In 1717, during his work at the Royal Mint, the famous physicist Newton established the British gold standard, setting the price of gold at 3 pounds and 17 shillings and 10 pence per troy ounce (purity is 0.9). This price has continued to this day, of which it was interrupted from 1797 to 1819.

The value of this batch of gold and ivory in Mozambique is about 210,000 pounds, and the funds allocated by Red Fort are more than 500,000 pounds. This calculates the benefits of gold mining in the next few months until the end of the year. After all, transportation is inconvenient in this era, and funds are even more difficult to exchange.

After hearing this, Wu Mozhou was quite moved and bowed with his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Yuanding, for your full support. It is said that everything is difficult to start. In the past 400 years of the Portuguese ruled Mozambique, they have basically not done any infrastructure, they just blindly sought it. Now everything has to be started from scratch and money is used everywhere. This fund really solves our urgent need!"

"The Red Fort policy is taken from you and used for you. Don't worry, you won't draw blood in Mozambique to feed back to Australia."

"Thank you, Lord Yuanding, for your care. I really want to spend a penny in half..."

"Brother Mo Zhou, you are now looking at the problem from the perspective of the Mozambique vocalist. Of course, you can't wait to get more money and you don't need to run me with words. The development funds are limited. If Mozambique wants to truly develop, it depends on itself."

Li Fushou said in one sentence that Wu Mozhou's thoughts, and when he saw his old face turned red, he knew that this old guy was not an ordinary person, so he continued to say without any impact; "Your starting point here is much higher than Shangri-La. I think when the development plan for Qixing Town of Qingshuihe was launched, it was a period of financial difficulties after the war.

Wu Xuewen was really poor and had only a few hundred thousand pounds of funds approved by Hongbao. However, he raised funds from many sources and worked hard with the hard-working Chinese immigrants, building Tianshu City very beautifully.

The situation here is much better here. The rich gold and ivory resources in the Zambezi River Basin are a considerable income, as well as rich forest resources and labor resources, which are all favorable conditions for development.

The African Expeditionary Force seized more than 1.4 million pounds of property worth more than 1.4 million pounds, including gold, silver, jewelry, precious vessels, etc. This time, it will be brought back to Queensland with the fleet and included in the treasury.

I have considered this property and will be converted into cash for 2 to 3 years to redeem it to supplement the Mozambique development funding gap. This is the greatest help that Red Fort can provide.

This is how it counts

In the first two or three years, the funds you can mobilize will reach a scale of one million pounds, which is enough to deal with high-intensity immigration and colonization work.

The local fiscal and taxation in Australia must also be used for local construction. After all, it is our foundation. Africa can only base itself on the existing situation and find a way of development."

Li Fushou's earnest explanation made Wu Mozhou feel ashamed. He respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Mo Zhou kept his teachings in mind and would definitely find more ways to tap local potential and work together to build Mozambique."

"I have all delivered to you, as well as Somalia and Guinea."

"Mo Zhou understands that he will do his best."

"When it comes to development and construction, just look at Songjiang City and surrounding towns and towns, you will know that Brother Mo Zhou is so talented that he will be the most. He will not be a second person. I have high hopes for Brother Mo Zhou, and I am really a little curious... What kind of big scene can you develop in Mozambique?"

Wu Mozhou and Wu Xuewen have completely different styles and cannot be compared with each other.

Wu Xuewen is good at making soup in snail shells, giving a little bit of resources to use up three points, and being good at rolling development step by step. This has been verified in the development project of Qixing Town, Qingshuihe, and he has successfully taken the lead.

Wu Mozhou is not the case. Songjiang City and nearby southern towns have been the top priority of Queensland's economic development since the beginning of its development. Whether it is Songjiang Reservoir, millions of acres of fertile land, three wool spinning factories with more than 10,000 people, General Machinery Company's Songjiang Base, Goodyear Rubber Company, Hongshan Coking Coal Factory Songjiang Base, Hongshan Iron and Steel Factory Songjiang Base, Wool Products Export Base, etc., they are all large projects with an investment scale of more than 100,000 pounds, with great development and extraordinary momentum.

Over the years, Wu Mozhou, the chief manager of the central town, has formed rich experience in charge of major projects. He doesn't like the gradual plan of the Qixing Town. According to the conditions of Mozambique's water transportation along the river, he proposed a grand plan for the twenty-four towns along the river, and put on his sleeves to prepare for a big move.

Such a grand plan, you can imagine the funds you need.

It is only a senior political senator like Wu Mozhou who dared to cry in front of the Earl, and he deliberately needed more policies and funds for development and construction. He really didn't dare to replace anyone else.

He was dedicated to the public and deliberately doing a grand and vigorous cause, and the starting point was understandable.

But be clear

Queensland's fiscal revenue and Red Fort's financial resources are used for local construction in Australia. After all, Queensland is the fundamental place, and there are too many places that require money, and the financial resources that can support overseas territories are limited.

As the owner of Red Fort, Li Fushou will never do stupid things to lose sight of the truth at any time. The construction of overseas territories must never affect the overall local development. Local construction is the priority.

The so-called importance is at most that you don’t draw blood from overseas territories. Just like the legitimate son and the concubine’s son, the degree of importance is different.

After knocking, Li Fushou has already been very skilled in this trick.

As expected, this statement was said

Wu Mozhou's embarrassment just now was gone, and his old face was as smiling as a flower.

Songjiang Construction is the most brilliant move in his resume. The Count's praise hit the itchy flesh in his heart. It was like just finished making a big sword, with 36,000 pores on his body showing comfort.

"Hehehe... Please wait and see if Lord Yuanding."

"Okay, then that's it."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The two looked at each other and laughed, and walked forward. The others followed closely behind and surrounded and moved forward.
