Three days later, Jinzhou Provincial Capital.

Nikan, Luo Chengzhi, Wang Wenhui, Sun Demao, Sun Desheng, Maqi, Gu Yanwu, Tefury, Giovanni, Etuhun, Anning, Ma Weiming and others gathered together to hold a meeting in the second "Nan Study Room" of the three-entry compound prepared for Nikan in Jinzhou Provincial Capital.

"Everyone", the current Prime Minister of the State Council of Daxia, Luo Chengzhi, spoke first-time Hou.

He was one year older than Nikan, and was exactly forty-five years old. His wife was the eldest princess of the empire, Buyechuk, the eldest son was the emperor of Japan, and the eldest daughter Luo Qi was the concubine of the crown prince Sun Dewei. In terms of honor, except for Sun Xiulin, Sun Xiujie, and Sun Chuanyu, the entire empire was no match.

To this day, Luo Chengzhi has gradually abandoned the previous expression of protecting himself and living a life of fear under Buyechuk's wings, and gradually showed his first-class lord and the power of the Premier of the State Council. In the past, he was a first-rate prime minister.

"This time, His Majesty brought 1,000 officials from the local government to be used in government agencies at all levels. All of them were on the list of national scientific research in the past few years and worked for five years. A total of 1,000 people were placed in the Southern Jinzhou Prefecture. The state has approved the establishment of a new Dunhuang County in the territory of South Navajo."

(New Dunhuang County is Las Vegas in later generations)

“Set Phoenix County in the Mountain Apache Territory”

(Phoenix, Apache, Hot)

"Set Yuma County in the area near Chumashi Bay"

(Chumas Bay, later Bay of California, Yuma County, later Yuma City, where the Yuma tribe is located at this time, Yuma tribe, a tribe formed by the integration of the Aztec tribe and the Apache tribe)

"This time, a total of 3,000 farmers were brought, and they were placed in the above three counties. It is the dry season now, and the weather is hot and dry. These farmers do it themselves to build their own homes. The officials, officials and technicians of the three counties guided them, participated in village construction, land division and other matters. The villages still set up four villages according to one hundred households."

"The bricks, tiles, cement and other materials required to build a house will be supported by Nanjinzhou Prefecture, and some personnel will be dispatched to assist in the construction."

"There are all the thousand veterans who came with the ship this time in the above three counties. Except for a few who were placed in the yamen offices to serve as various yamen runners, the rest became local defenders, and three cavalry battalions were set up in battalions, and the horses were also supplied by Nanjinzhou."

“Half of the remaining personnel are placed in Utah and half into Navajo”

"By the way, the vast wasteland where the Navajo people used to be entrenched, newly established Navajo Province"

"The Nanjinzhou Prefecture of Jinzhou Province is independent, and the new Jinnan Province is established together with the new Dunhuang, Phoenix and Yuma mentioned earlier. Gu Yanwu, the former governor of Nanjinzhou Prefecture, was promoted to the governor of Jinnan Province, and the garrison envoy is still the same as Etuhun."

"The three thousand herdsmen from the former Angara Tutula tribe who came with the ship this time were all placed in the area from New Dunhuang to Phoenix."

This is Nikan's new idea. After the establishment of the Navajo tribe, the territory of the current Navajo tribe has become completely in the mainland, even if it needs to be vacated with the Navajo people to change birds, there is no need to be too anxious.

Instead, the Kinnan Province, which is connected to the Apache tribe and Mexico, continues to replenish a large population.

Aba Jinde happened to be there too. Nikan looked at him and smiled, "How is the climate here much warmer than the Angara area, right?"

Aba Jinde smiled and said, "I have also learned about it these days. I heard that most of those places are deserts. We can only grazle in a small number of river valleys. It is warm, but it is strange to think that we can't see green all day long."

Nikan cursed: "The green is the fart! To the west of Lake Baikal, there is only half a year without ice and snow. The climate here is warmer than the southernmost part of our country. It is as warm as spring all year round. Moreover, there is a big river running across it. The river is no less than the Angara River, and it does not freeze all year round. There are countless tributaries. The area of ​​pastures is several times more than the other tribes you have like to add up. Why not do it without transitioning?"

After hearing this, Aba Jinde still said, although he was still beating inside, he said, "That's great, thank you Your Majesty."

The big river Nikan mentioned is the Colorado River, the largest river in the southwest of the United States in later generations, and is now called the Navajo River.

Nikan looked at Tefrey again, "You have been waiting in South Jinzhou for a long time, and you can investigate the Chumashi Peninsula and the northern bay of Chumashi Bay. Is there any suitable place to build a port near Yuma County?"

(Chumes Peninsula, later California Peninsula, later Chumas Bay, later California Bay)

Tefry came over by boat with illness. His face was a little pale at the moment. After hearing Nikan's words, he was about to speak. Nikan interrupted him, "It's because I'm not good. I know you're not feeling well, but I'm still asking you to come over, so why don't Giovanni say it."

Tefry felt grateful. This Dutch man who had been on a Dutch merchant ship in real history who had been blown down by a strong wind in Jeju Island. After decades, he had forgotten to speak Dutch and only speaks Daxia Mandarin and Korean.

Let me say more, at this time, European countries are engaged in ocean-going trade, with a voyage of more than 10,000 kilometers, and only half of the chances of success. Once they encounter strong winds, they will not have time to reclaim their sails. Those who are lucky enough to be close to certain islands and can drift on the boards on the ship will spend their rest on these islands.

This is how these places were found in Madagascar, Mauritius, and Australia.

In the original history, it was thirty years later when Tefry met the Dutch again.

Nikan temporarily put down his work matters and continued to ask Tefrey: "Tefrey, do you still miss your hometown?"

When he heard this, Tefry's face turned pale. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am an orphan. In Europe, only orphans will come to the sea boat to make a living from childhood. There are no people at home. But after being away from home for so long, I still want to go back and take a look."

Nikan nodded and smiled, "The new fleet built in Jinzhou Port is expected to be completed in the first half of next year. At that time, you can follow this fleet back to Europe. By the way, is Vermeer here?"

Ma Qi stood up and replied, "Mr. Vermeer is still teaching painting and Dutch at Jinzhou Higher Normal School. I don't know that Your Majesty wants to summon him, so I didn't let him come together."

Nikan waved his hand, "Forget it, I was going to let him draw a portrait for me, let's talk about it in a few days."

Looking at Tefrey again, "Vermeer is also a Dutch, let him go back with you at that time."

Tefry was a little excited and didn't know what to say. However, if he wanted to return to Europe from here, the nearest journey was to head south along the west coast of America, cross the Magellan Strait, then head north from the east coast of South America to near the westerly wind belt in North America, and then ride the westerly wind belt and the North Atlantic warm current back to Europe.

Vermeer was one of the three Dutch painters in the 17th century. Last time he followed Druitt to Asia as a sailor and was captured when he fought against the Hanhai Army near Japan. It was also one of the butterfly effects of Nikan.

Like Giovanni, Vermeer stayed in the Great Xia Kingdom and followed the Great Xia Kingdom to the Americas - Europeans went from east to west, while Asians went from west to east, and they all went from west to east.

After Vermeer came to America, he did not continue to stay in the navy like Giovanni, but came to Jinzhou to teach according to the arrangements of the Daxia Kingdom.

Tefry is an old sailor, so he naturally experienced the kind of old sailors on European ships at this time. After joining the Hanhai Army, he was attracted by the advanced and equal culture of the Great Xia Kingdom and almost forgot about Europe. However, after being reminded by Nikan, the scene of his hometown of Delft in the Netherlands could not help but appear in his mind.

Vermeer's hometown is also Delft, so Nikan has this saying.

But Tefry thought, "The warships of the Hanhai Army are all steam-powered. If there is no coal supply along the way and are not familiar with the road conditions, the risk is too great. After coming to South Jinzhou, the farthest place is only to the Strait of Magellan, and it has not crossed the Strait of Magellan. If you want to go to Europe, you must bring a lot of coal, otherwise you must buy it from the Spaniards..."

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the Spanish Alfonso he saw during the day.

"Have your Majesty reached an agreement with the Spaniards?"

At this time, Giovanni of the Southern Jinzhou Squadron had reported to Nikan on his behalf, "Your Majesty, the northern end of Chumashi Bay is almost deserted along the coast. Because the lower reaches of the Navajo River flow through the desert, the width and depth of the river surface are not enough to pass through large ships. The Ministry of Service has carefully investigated. There is only a small harbor about two hundred miles southwest of the Navajo River. The opening is only about a hundred meters, and it goes north to the inland about five hundred meters deep, forming a harbor about one mile long from north to south and about two hundred meters wide from east to west. The sea water is very deep. The Ministry of Service has asked the observers to carefully check it. On average, it is more than ten meters. Large ships like the Golden Eagle can be moored around. Pier construction wharfs can be set up around. The places suitable for construction wharfs are about two thousand meters long, and a maximum of two hundred ships of large and small ships can be moored."

Even if Nikan travels through this place, it is impossible to know that what Giovanni is talking about is actually the Port of Peñasco in Mexico in later generations.

"Can you have a name?"

Giovanni said: "There happened to be a sailor from Fengzhou in the squadron. He blurted out after seeing this place. 'Kubzi'. The Ministry of Justice asked him what happened. He said that there is a large desert south of the Dajizi Bay of the Yellow River. The locals are called the Kubuqi Desert. The appearance of this place is very similar to that of there. Finally, he simply named it "Kubzi"."

"Okay", Nikan nodded, "I'm famous for Kubu, and I'll build a port there immediately. There are two squadrons stationed near Yingzhou, and they are not very useful. After Kubuqi Port is built, a squadron is transferred to garrison here."

After talking about the fleet, Ma Qi said: "Your Majesty, after years of getting along and observing, the local natives are still better at labouring and grazing in mines, but they are lacking in both military and farming. If they are in the army, although they are brave, they generally do not understand the rules and are relatively casual, so..."

"If you farm, they lack hard work and diligence, which leads to their yields being far from the old farmers today. Look..."

"you mean……"

"Your Majesty, both in Jinzhou and the newly established Navajo and Jinnan provinces have vast pastures, so they can simply grazle them. They get along well with those wild beasts."

"No!" Nikan shook his head, "No one was born a farmer and a soldier. He told them to be careful in joining the army and farm carefully. In the future, most of those who serve in the army will be selected from the school. For those who farm, Han farmers will help them for another two years and make up for five years. If they still can't keep up, they will be sent back to the Apache tribe as slaves!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Nikan continued: "We are still too tolerant. I heard that Xu Du from Xindongyang treats these natives as slaves. The effect is pretty good. Naturally, we will not go to that point. However, Daxia has been in the Americas for sixteen years. Most native children have been studying. Now it is the time to be the head of the family. Learning to join the army will definitely not be a problem. As for the old people in the past, they will gradually die in about ten years. What are you worried about?"

"Yes, Your Majesty"
