Chapter 10 Where to go
In the early morning camp, as the birds began to sing in the trees, a new day began.
"How many days have you been away?" Katsurara, who had been stabbed to death, glanced at the empty field in the distance and asked Li Ji beside him casually.
A "magic" large iron box was placed in that place before. The furnishings inside made Katsuzaburo almost dislocate his chin. However, since Zhao Xin left, the large iron box has also disappeared.
"It's been five days." Liji replied, and he was staggering intently. The shoes he put on were not very adaptable, which almost sprained his ankle. He also held a samurai sword with a red scabbard in his hand. This was just one of Zhao Xin's many handicrafts, so he gave him casually. But Liji thought that Lord Zhao had given his samurai status and was very satisfied.
In the eyes of more than a dozen refugees who have arrived in the camp, this group of people dressed in weird and extravagant ways.
The old refugees in the camp, regardless of gender, age, each of them changed into thermal underwear, thick cotton socks, upper body work pants, welder shoes, and a thick green or black cotton coat on the upper body.
For these new refugees, according to the results discussed by the old refugees, there is no problem with eating and bedding can be given, but the clothes are not available for the time being. They must be swearing allegiance to their faces before they can be obtained.
Well, according to the interval between the adults' return, you have to wait.
Because there are not enough tents, new refugees can only build temporary sleeping shacks with branches on the outside of the tent.
After these days, more than a dozen refugees were added scattered, including men, women, and young. These people originally wanted to run to the beach, at least they could pick up some shells and catch a few small fish on the beach, but they didn't expect to encounter this camp.
After several days of comfort and rectification in the camp, the injured people gradually improved. The blessing of two meals of rice a day made these thin people regain their anger, and several of them actually gained weight. Of course, this included Wan Zao's big snot son.
This kid just finished his anger and asked Wan Zao's wife, who was helping the chef, to take off her pants and slapped her hard.
Wan Zao and four other middle-aged men who recovered from their illness were given samurai swords by Zhao Xin. These people, including Katsuzaburo and Liji, were called "Seven Warriors of Lord Zhao" by the men and women in the camp.
As soon as Katsuzaburo recovered, he began to teach the other six people martial arts in the early morning every day. Among the six people, one guy named Kuzang made the fastest progress and was very talented. After a few days, he gradually became able to fight Katsuzaburo. Kuzang was also very hardworking, and he practiced martial arts every day, except eating and sleeping.
As for a guy named Shimasuke, he was the one who was scolded the most. He was originally an honest farmer who could not beat a single stick. Because he looked strong, Zhao Xin was "pulled to the strong man". Every time he practiced, no matter how Katsuzaburo explained it carefully, this guy was unaware of his ability. He was so angry that he began to use the branches to suck him.
Before leaving this time, Zhao Xin left all the grain, oil and food purchased last time and explained in detail how to use kitchen utensils.
He had purchased twenty tons of rice before, which was nearly 34,000 kilograms based on the ancient unit of measurement. Even if this 200 person eats one kilogram a day, he can eat it at least half a year, which is enough to wait for him to come back.
As Zhao Xin said before leaving, he wanted to find a boat and take everyone out to sea to a place where there was no general and vassal lord or samurai who could have enough food and clothing for his own labor.
All the refugees were full of confidence in Zhao Xin's words, and they were waiting for Zhao Xin's return with hope.
On the other side of time and space, after the miserable comparison of the old society, Zhao Xin went back for another three days before he began to consider how to solve the problem of refugees.
Of course, he was not a pure languish in the past three days, and he also handled two large boxes of small gold quotations. Since it was difficult to sell antiques, Zhao Xin simply found several private purchase points and melted gold ingots. There were also those batches of porcelain. He had taken a few photos and sent them to a friend in the antique circle. The other party called today and would bring a buyer who knew what to do tomorrow.
"I'll just pick it up, where are you going to dig gold?" Zhao Xin sat in front of the computer, looking back and forth at the map information. The ashtray on the table was filled with cigarette butts, and he had already drunk one cup after another.
Well, Zhao Xinsi thought about it and decided to take in a group of refugees and let these people dig for gold for him.
However, considering the situation in the eighteenth century, he didn't have many choices. After thinking about it, he only had four choices.
The first one is to go to Hokkaido, which is currently called Hokkaido. The third-ranked Hongzhiwu Gold Mine in Japan is located in the north of the island.
In another time and space, many people know that Japan's most famous gold mine is the Sado Gold Mine. From its discovery in 1601 until its mineral closure in 1989, a total of 83 tons of gold was mined. The Hongzhiwu Gold Mine mine was mined from 1915 to its pit in 1973, and a total of 73 tons of gold and 1,200 tons of silver were mined.
The second is the Kuril Islands to the north, where there is also gold.
The third option is to find a boat, go east along the Aleutian Islands, cross the Bering Strait, and then south into the west coast of the North American continent, and head to the San Francisco area. It is currently the Spanish territory, and you will encounter Russian fur merchants along the way.
These guys are not easy to join, and they may have to take action, and they are the kind of people who live to the death. You should know that Russian fur merchants killed all the indigenous people on the Aleutian Islands from the mid-18th century to the early nineteenth century in just a few decades.
The last one is Qingdao, 50 kilometers east of Vladivostok. Zhao Xin found during the process of checking historical information that compared with the first three options, the gold produced in Qingdao is sand gold, and mining should be relatively simple. Moreover, in the late Qing Dynasty, there were as many as tens of thousands of thieves on the island, which is enough to prove that the island has a considerable gold production.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! After reading the information for two days, Zhao Xin finally made a decision. He planned to get 18,000 refugees from the island country and dig for himself gold! As for the location, let’s choose Qingdao, which is the easiest to mine.
Although the Hongzhiwu Gold Mine in Hokkaido has high reserves, it is located in the mountains, with inconvenient transportation, and has to deal with the Ainu people. Let’s wait before talking about it.
"Gold, it's all mine!" Zhao Xin became more and more excited as he thought about it, and couldn't help but shout out his heart.
“Meow~”
"I'll go!" Zhao Xin seemed to hear the cat's moan. He suddenly shuddered and turned around and looked for it. Suddenly, he remembered that Duofu was still in the pet store, and I didn't take it home.
Well, everything is an illusion.
After choosing the place, the next step is how to manage the refugees. Many of the refugees Zhao Xin had hosted before were from the same village. Although all the families died, most of them were with their families.
He felt that he should manage these people separately and not all of them were crowded on the same island. So he took a fancy to Bear Island again, because to the north of the island was Vladivostok. For his time and space dissident, the closer it is to Vladivostok, the more convenient it is to buy and sell.
Another time and space at present is the end of the 18th century. Tsarist Russia's tentacles had not yet reached the northeast. Both Qingdao and Xiongdao were deserted, and Vladivostok were just a small fishing village. In the book "The General Map of the Geography of the Emperor Qing Dynasty" compiled in the 38th year of Qianlong, Xiongdao was a place where he could not even find a location.
Here we will mention the Jilin General established in the Qing Dynasty. Before the 22nd year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, it was called "General Ningguta". The so-called "spreading Ningguta to the armored people" was in the jurisdiction of the Jilin General.
The jurisdiction of the Jilin General in the Qing Dynasty was extremely vast, starting from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north and ending at the sea surface of the Sea of Japan in the south; reaching the Ningguta Border (near Mudanjiang in the west), reaching the Kaiyuan Border of Weiyuan Fort in Shengjing; reaching the Nantumen River in Changbai Mountain in the south, the Yalu River is more than 1,300 miles away, and is bounded with North Korea; crossing Heilongjiang in the north to the Outer Xing'an Mountains, bordering Tsarist Russia.
In such a vast area, only 3,000 Qing troops were stationed, and they were stationed in Jilin, Ningguta, Sanxing, Baidune, Alchuka and Hunchun. Xiongdao is closest to Hunchun City, almost across the sea. Hunchun was stationed by the Associate Army in the Qing Dynasty, and was under the management of the deputy commander of Ningguta, with only a few hundred people.
Zhao Xin felt that if he could get some weapons and find a few more helpers, even if he took over the Bear Island, he would probably have no reaction from the Qing Dynasty.
Next, there was a big problem that needed to be solved, the boat and the person driving the boat. The more he thought about it, the more excited he picked up his hand and dialed a number.
"how's it going?"
"Go to go through the divorce procedures next week." Liu Sheng's voice on the phone was muffled.
"Have you given all the money?" Tiandi was so conscientious that Zhao Xin was definitely not deliberately asking the other party to think about owing him money.
“Give it all.”
"I want to ask you something."
"you say."
"You have been a seafarer for so many years, do you have a ship driver's license?"
"Yes, I have."
“How many categories?”
"Do you still understand this? I am a Ocean Freighter, of course it's the same type."
Speaking of which, ship driving certificates are divided into three categories. The first category is suitable for all types of ships, including passenger and cargo ships, oil tankers, container ships, etc. Crews holding Class I driving certificates can only serve as captain, deputy captain, first mate, second mate, etc.; the second category is suitable for ships sailing inland rivers, offshore and coastal areas, including fishing boats, tugboats, bulk cargo ships, etc.; the third category is the corresponding inland river boats.
The first type of driving certificate exam is more difficult, and requires high navigation knowledge and skills, as well as certain practical navigation experience. Liu Sheng has worked as a second-rate, so how can he not have a driving license?
"Have you left recently?" Zhao Xin meant to ask if the other party would go out to sea recently.
"We should go to the company for training early next month and get on the boat in a week."
“How long does it take to come back?”
"Every time it's almost a month. Is there anything wrong?"
"Oh, nothing, just ask. I'll call me after I come back and have a drink together."
"no problem."
