"According to the goals given to me by the Imperial Government Council, the Governor's Office, and Jinzhou Province."

"In five years, 10,000 immigrants of all kinds need to be resettled. As of the end of last year, we have completed this task two years ahead of schedule. We have resettled 5,000 farmers, cleared zhang, and allocated 250,000 mu of land, including 2,000 local farmers, and 3,000 farmers from Chumas, Apache, Navajo and other farmers."

Everyone looked at each other and knew it.

Except for Chumashi, most of the remaining prisoners were obtained from the current Apache chief Tang Hawk who fought everywhere. They were exchanged for iron, cloth and other materials by the Daxia Kingdom. They farmed under the guidance of local farmers.

"250,000 mu of fields, wheat is planted in the rainy season, rice, cotton and other things are planted in the dry season. Since it is two seasons, the average yield of three stones is 750,000,000 households, nearly 50,000 people. They need rations, seeds and feed every year, and the rest can be purchased by the government at a fair price."

"Thirty-five thousand stones are enough to support the 50,000 army."

"However, according to the regulations of the Governor's Office, each government can only purchase according to its own financial strength. Therefore, we can only acquire 100,000 stones, but it is enough to satisfy all kinds of people in the workshop, the army, and the yamen."

"A large workshop was set up near Chumashi Mountain. Now there are 3,000 craftsmen, covering local and local people, including about 2,500 coal and iron workshops, about 500 rough rubber workshops, and 3,000 3,000 households. According to the regulations of the Government Council, you can apply for the establishment of counties."

"In the Chumashi prairie to the north, there are 1,000 native herders, and the local herders mainly come from Soren'aola and Margi to the north, about 300 households, and the rest are slaves from Navajo and Apache. Judging from the current situation, these lands...the locals are more suitable for grazing rather than farming."

At this time, Mo Jin, who was a native, naturally knew the multiple meanings of the word "地", and when he was halfway through, he changed it to "locals".

"No", Gu Yanwu interrupted him, "Agriculture is the foundation of all industries. Without food, there is no way to talk about it. The Pacific Ocean spans nearly 15,000 miles. Although my country has steamships that can arrive in a month, it still has a risk of shipwrecks and is not easy to immigrate. According to Your Majesty's plan, the farmland in the jurisdiction of the Governor of Yingzhou will mainly rely on local people in the future, in addition to immigration."

He glanced at Mo Jin, "Your Majesty said that the locals in America and the Soren people in the north were originally a family of ten thousand years ago. At that time, in order to track large beasts along the frozen Chukki Strait to the American continent, the locals now have a good life. They have not forgotten the people scattered on the American continent. They specially asked a ancestor Daxia people to come to America and build a beautiful and prosperous era with the locals. Naturally, local immigrants must not be missing, but they mainly rely on the locals."

The Chukki Strait, the Bering Strait in later generations.

This is the unified caliber of the Great Xia Kingdom. Mo Jin naturally heard it too. Although he had heard it a little hypocritical and many times, he was still a little excited after he said it from Gu Yanwu again.

"Yes, magistrate. Since this is the case, in the future, in addition to the slaves sent by the Apache chief Donhawk, the Ministry of Justice decided to take the initiative to recruit locals from tribes such as Navajo, Utah, and even the Aztec tribes to the south."

"Aztec?" Gu Yanwu paused and finally agreed to Mojin's plan. At this time, the natives of Mexico were fighting against the Spaniards in the mountains in the northern region. One of the causes of the war was religious factors. It was unlikely that the Spanish would send a large number of natives to the territory of the Daxia Kingdom as "spy".

What's more, if a large number of Aztec natives could be recruited to Jinzhou Province, it would lay a good foundation for the empire to govern Mexico in the future.

"Well, okay, but for the locals coming from the south, we still need to check it out."

Mo Jin nodded and continued: "The grasslands in the northern part of Chumashi are rich in grasslands, and each household can raise more than 100 livestock. The Ministry of Service has calculated that two acres of land can support a cow. Now, according to the planning of the Ministry of Revenue and Animal Husbandry Department of the Daxia Ministry of Revenue, it is still based on the plan of at least ten horses and ten cows. All the remaining ones are flocks. The flocks include both local yellow sheep and local pronghorn antelope."

"At present, most of the horses of appropriate age are mature and can be domesticated. The Ministry of Education communicates with people in the ranch. There are about a thousand horses that can be castrated and domesticated..."

"Cough cough cough", Etuhun inserted, "It's not stopping. The horses here are still hybridized with the Mongolian horse. They are now the third generation, most of them from the Kenavik prairie. They mature at the age of two. The ministry will go there every few days. There should be 1,200 horses that can be included in the war horse sequence."

Because he is close to Mexico, the Southern Jinzhou under Gu Yanwu's rule is actually a relatively independent jurisdiction. Although he does not have the name of a governor, he has the reality of a governor. This is also the tacit approval of the governor of Jinzhou Province and Yingzhou. This is also the reason why he was able to recruit officers like Etuhun and Tefre for a meeting.

"Forget it, let's just place it according to one thousand horses. You have to leave some stallions for the herdsmen. Moreover, according to the provisions of the Daxia Kingdom on the jurisdiction of the overseas governor, the herdsmen will not be taxed, and they will be purchased at a fair price. The finances of the Nanjinzhou Yamen are also limited."

"Sir, according to the requirements put forward by the provincial government to me, the workshop must be able to meet the entire Jinzhou Province and the future needs for the Spanish to fight. At the current scale, since the new locals still need vigorous training, the output is far from reaching this point, but I have two years to wait. If I work hard, there is still hope."

Gu Yanwu nodded, "Okay, the current situation is almost done, let's talk about farmland water conservancy."

"Okay," Mo Jin continued, "According to the provincial government's plan, Nanjinzhou will eventually resettle 10,000 farmers and reclaim 500,000 acres of good land. At present, we are still half short of it. It is easy to open the land simply. However, since the place is in the dry season for half a year, if there is no dam and canal cooperation, it will be useless to reclaim it."

"So, starting from this dry season, the Ministry of Service recommended vigorously to recruit about 3,000 people, and even the yamen could not afford it if there were too many people..."

"No," Gu Yanwu interrupted him again, "This year is different. Now the farmers have stabilized. The empire is so kind to support them. If the country has major issues, they must also stand up. In this way, although the country has not set up labor service on the surface, it still needs to mobilize. Just like at the beginning, it is the food, and the rest is gone. Anyway, it is dry season, and it is enough to wear a single clothes. There is still one month for the wheat harvest season, and we must seize this month!"

Morkin paused, "Yes, sir, the vocational department immediately arranged to go to the countryside to explain the matter, and prepared for the construction of canals and ponds.

Gu Yanwu nodded, "Let Gu Ganxue help you, it's easier to do things with one more manpower."

"Thank you, sir," Mo Jin continued, "Now there are five larger rivers in Nanjinzhou, among which the canals along the Chumashi coast have been completed. The remaining rivers generally have little flow. Look..."

Gu Yanwu said: "In addition to these five big rivers, there are also many streams left. In the big rivers, it is certain to build dams and build canals. Since there are 3,000 people, they are just placed on the other three rivers. Build dams and canals at high places in the river. If there is no drop, do not build dams for the time being. Build dams in places with many streams and build them according to the scale of at least one dam in a village."

"In this case, five thousand households are five hundred villages, and at least five hundred ponds need to be built. We have to complete at least half of this dry season. In addition, at least two big rivers channels, the road is long. By the way, if you need to build a dam, how much cement, stones, and earth is needed, you need to prepare in advance."

"Sir," said Jin Xiaohai, who has been silent all the time, "The Chumashi Mountain in the north and east are all extinct volcanoes left by ancient times. Cement plants can be set up in suitable places. Otherwise, such a large canal and pond construction would probably not be enough to rely on Oregon's cement alone. At present, the Snake River Valley, the Great Salt Lake, and the north of the bay..."

Hearing the four words "north of the bay", Gu Yanwu couldn't help but pat his forehead, "Oh, I almost forgot that there is a large area of ​​land suitable for cultivation north of Chumashi Bay. Not long ago, the Governor's Office had just adjusted its jurisdiction and assigned this place to me."

"Sir, hurry up and set up a county government to manage it. It was originally the jurisdiction of the Yuma tribe, so I just declare it with Yuma County and then let the county officials manage it in a comprehensive manner."

(Gulf, referring to the Gulf of California)

Tefry inserted at this time: "If there is formally included in the jurisdiction of the yamen, a harbor must be set up in the northern part of the bay, at least half of the fleet will be stationed there. Otherwise, it will be closer to Mexico, and the Spanish will be able to arrive every once in a while. Without warships, it is impossible to farm safely."

Etuhun also said: "There are mainly farming on the plains impacted by the Colorado River marked by His Majesty. The area is much larger than that of the Chumashi area. The nearby desert grasslands are extremely vast and far larger than the Chumashi grasslands. They need to be considered as a whole."

Gu Yanwu knew what he meant and replied: "I have considered this section. If you set up a county, your independent brigade will have one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry. You can completely draw one thousand cavalry. In the Chumashi area, two thousand soldiers are enough to guard it."

"As for the Navy..."

When he saw Tefury, Giovanni looked at him with a eager look on his face, and said with a smile: "I heard that His Majesty is coming to America this year. There will be a complete fleet that follows him. In addition, we are waiting for the secret base on the Chumas Peninsula, which is enough to deal with the Spanish."

The Chumas Peninsula in his mouth was the later California Peninsula. When he decided to operate the Jinzhou, in order to deal with the Spaniards in the south, the Hanhai Army had already set up three ports in the deserted California Peninsula. On the surface, it was for the supply of merchant ships. Wherever it was settled, it actually had a hidden murderous intent. Some merchant ships could turn into warships at any time.

"Sir," Jin Xiaohai said, "The people from the Ministry of Education have been working on the Chumashi Peninsula for three years. Now they have found that there are copper mines, iron ore, manganese ore, iron ore, copper ore, and copper ore on this barren peninsula. We do not need it urgently, but manganese ore is very rare. If you consider reclaiming north of Chumashi Bay, you might as well take the entire peninsula into consideration. Not to mention anything else, mining manganese ore on it should be included in one of the urgent matters."

Gu Yanwu nodded. At this moment, he naturally knew that the steel weapon of the Great Xia Kingdom was mostly related to this so-called manganese ore. At present, the entire American continent has not yet released the manufacturing of steam engines. The reason on the surface is that there is no manganese ore, but in fact he doesn't know how he is concerned about it.

If there is manganese ore blessing from the Chumas Peninsula (California Peninsula), the Government Department should have no explicit reason to oppose the production of steam engines here.
