In the car, Zhao Xin looked in the mirror and looked at the "big light bulb" in front of him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. If he arrived home tomorrow, he would definitely make a fuss. And if Gu Xi saw it, he still didn't know what would happen.

A Miao, behind her, sat aside with Duofu in her arms. As soon as she looked up, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed secretly whenever she looked up and saw Zhao Xin's shiny back of her head.

"Hey, you little girl. Just laugh if you want to laugh." Zhao Xin turned around and said helplessly.

He got up and took out a pack of dried fruits and milk candy from the big bag on the table, handed them to A Miao and said, "Take this to those two children. In addition, you will send it to everyone in a while."

A Miao knew who the owner was talking about, so she put the cat down, took the thing and left first.

Zhao Xin sat down and lit a cigarette, thinking about the things he had arranged during the holidays, and he needed to arrange a lot of things himself.

My cousin Cheng Wei told Zhao Xin on the phone today that the shipping company's procedures will be completed before the New Year. He had found several second-hand bulk cargo ships through the ship broker in advance.

The first is a multi-purpose ship with a total tonnage of 6,200 tons. It was built in 2004. The deadweight tonnage was 7,864 tons. The original owner's asking price was not high, with a quotation of 12 million yuan. The ship is now docked in a port in Zhejiang.

The second is a dry cargo ship with a total tonnage of about 2,500 tons. It was built in 2007. The load tonnage is 3,700 tons and the quotation is 5 million yuan. It is currently docked in a port in the south.

The third is a bulk cargo ship with a total tonnage of up to 17,000 tons. It was built in the late 1980s with a heavy tonnage of more than 28,000 tons and a quotation of 15 million. It is currently docked in a port in Zhejiang.

Zhao Xin decided to let Deng Fei take charge of this matter. He knew nothing about this, and he had to buy an old ship and had to be maintained again. If he went there, he could only watch the fun.

With the ship, the next step is to prepare to purchase buoys that splice the temporary landing docks. Assemble hundreds of buoys together, it will be a very sturdy and durable temporary dock and trestle.

In addition to the ship matter, Zhao Xin also had to travel to Europe. He asked Cheng Wei to find a large-scale weeding machine that only available in Europe could sell. In order to avoid a series of problems such as long-distance transportation and customs declaration procedures, he planned to go there himself.

According to my cousin, the host of the modular landing equipment is extremely expensive, 20,000 euros per unit, and the various other tools equipped with are not expensive.

It is expensive, but after reading the introduction materials, Cheng Wei told Zhao Xin that the set of land reclamation equipment is very useful, whether it is a hillside or a swamp, it can be used horizontally. The most important thing is that it can also be operated remotely.

The most important weapon procurement is that he has to travel across the ocean.

Oh, Zhao Xin’s more and more troubles are getting. He can’t stay home for a few days, and he has to run around the world again. Moreover, during the festival, Liu Sheng stayed on the island and could only work on these things by himself.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the people Zhao Xin recruited before New Year's Day will come to report. However, his plan has been adjusted and he will have to settle these people in the early stage.

Just as he was thinking about these things, Liu Sheng pushed the door and came in.

"By the way, the seafood of the Russians is really fresh and cheap. I'll find another opportunity to have another meal next time."

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "As soon as I come back, I will bring you ten red-haired crabs and eat them and vomit them."

"Take more prawns, and the Russians will boil them in water, or they are iron plates. I think it is still stewed with oil." Liu Sheng unconsciously licked his lower lip.

"I said, are you eating enough?" Zhao Xin asked the other party curiously.

"I was so busy just now that I walked in the camp twice, and I'm a little hungry again."

"Then why are you looking for me to do? Keep eating with you? Brother, you should find Ding Guofeng with you. That guy is also a foodie." Zhao Xin shook his head with a wry smile.

"By the way, we're leaving tomorrow. Are you okay? Otherwise, you'd better go back with me." The two of them laughed for a while, and Zhao Xin suddenly asked.

"Okay, why can't it? Although Sheng Haizhou can't speak Chinese, he can write without any problem. I've tried it all, and basically he can understand what I write."

"I can't bear to leave you alone."

"It's so terrible. Then you'll come back soon."

"This trip is really not good. I guess I can't come back even if I'm fifteen."

"What do you mean?" Liu Sheng asked curiously.

"Look..." Zhao Xin talked to Liu Sheng about his fingers and talked about the task of going back this time for more than half an hour.

"Even if I come back, I will send them away. I have to leave immediately."

"Hey, I said, when will the people you told me to come? I remember there is a woman?"

"I was just about to tell you about this. That woman is the head nurse of the obstetrics and gynecology department. Don't worry about it. She has a master. They should come at the end of February. I won't care about it at that time and leave it to you."

"Go and go, I don't care about anyone. I don't know what the parents look like, what are you talking nonsense!"

The two were having fun, and someone knocked on the door outside. Zhao Xin got up and opened the door and saw that it was Li Ji.

"Lord, lord. The meat is stewed, I'll bring it to you." Li Ji was holding two large bowls in his hand, one was chicken and the other was lamb.

Zhao Xin couldn't bear to refute Li Ji's kindness, so he found the chopsticks and picked up the chicken and tasted it. The taste was quite reasonable. With Zhao Xin's continuous education, Shina's cooking level has improved.

He said to Liji with a smile: "It tastes good. Tell your wife and keep working hard."

Liji smiled proudly.

After sending Liji away, Zhao Xin began to discuss the moving matter with Liu Sheng. As soon as he mentioned the place, Liu Sheng said, "Nakhodeka, I have heard of it, but I haven't been there. By the way, that place was in the past, no, what is it now?"

"It was called Haizao Bay in the late Qing Dynasty. Now, it's hard to say." After that, he took out a printed Google map from his bag and handed it to Liu Sheng. The latter took it and saw that it was full of place names marked in Chinese.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay guy! Where did you check this?"

In another time and space, in 1972, the Maoist authorities made a large-scale name change to settlements and geographical objects in the Far East, mainly for "de-Sinicization".

In order to find out the original place names of these places in the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Xin not only read the "Jilin Map" during the Guangxu period, but also checked the "Dictionary of Chinese Place Names in the Far East of the Soviet Union".

"Don't look at me marking all the place names, but I think most of these places were named in the late Qing Dynasty, at least around 1856."

"Oh? Why?"

"Look here," Zhao Xin pointed to the location marked "Hanjiagou" in the lower right corner of the map and said: "In the 18th century, there were no Han people outside the northeast, so it was impossible to have such a name."

"Then why are you sure it was 1856, not 1855?"

"Because the British came here in July 1856, there were no traces of inhabited people on their navigation records. And in 1859, the Russians were here," Zhao Xinyi pointed to the "Donghaitou" position and continued: "There were 12 Chinese living, who made a living by fishing for seaweed."

Liu Sheng opened his mouth wide in surprise: "The British have come too?"

"Yes, the Crimean War. By the way, there is also the Second Opium War."

"Ah? It's all messy."

Zhao Xin sighed, and then told Liu Sheng about this past that happened in another time and space.

In September 1854, a fleet of four British warships went to Nagasaki, Japan, and they were tasked with finding and attacking Tsarist Russian fleet in the Far East.

At that time, the Tokugawa shogunate had already experienced the black ships of American ghost animals. They believed that the purpose of the British coming to Nagasaki was the same as that of the Americans. In the end, Nagasaki followed the Mizuno Tadashi and signed the "Japan-British Peace Treaty" with the British on behalf of the shogunate, and promised that Tsarist Russian ships would not be docked and supplied during the war.

Although Japan was solved, the British fleet did not think the mission was completed. They then searched for the Tsarist Russian fleet in the vast area of ​​the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, and participated in the attack on the port of Kamchatka with the French fleet.

In July 1856, a frigate named "Bunny Hornet" in the fleet accidentally came to Haizao Bay on its way back to Hong Kong. Because the coast was deserted, they named the East Sea Head Freeman Port, the Sea Algae Bay "Bunny Hornet Bay", and the Falin River flowing into the bay as "Lion River".

On the other hand, Tsarist Russia did not know the actions of the British. They hid in the area north of the Tatar Strait until the end of the war.

Liu Sheng was half relieved when he heard this, but he didn't understand why the place names in the Northeast were related to the Second Opium War.

Zhao Xin told him that after the British fleet returned south in 1856, he participated in the attack on Guangzhou in October of that year, and the Second Opium War broke out.

The war that started with the "Yaro Incident" and eventually led to the Battle of Baliqiao and burned the Old Summer Palace lasted for four years. During this period, Muravyov, the governor of East and West Siberia of Tsarist Russia, took advantage of the internal and external troubles of the Qing court and had no time to look north to send tens of thousands of troops to invade Heilongjiang, forcing Heilongjiang General Yishan to sign the Treaty of Aihui with him.

Since then, the beautiful mountains of millions of square kilometers are no longer as good as China.

The next year, Mulavijov, who was proud of himself, took the USS America frigate to Hakodate, Japan, and negotiated with the shogunate on Sakhalin Island. On the way back, he decided to go to Vladivostok, which had been classified under his rule.

On the evening of June 17, 1859, the fleet broke down in an unknown bay overnight. In a dark night, the low visibility caused by the fog forced them to set sail the next morning. According to custom, the crew named the bay "American Bay" by their frigate.

Not to mention, this place is the "Big Hornet Bay" named by the British.

On the morning of the next day, the thick fog actually dissipated, and the landform along the coast was clearly revealed in the eyes of the Russians. Nikolai Krasilnikov, the navigator who accompanied the ship, made the following record in his navigation log: "The bay ranged from northeast to southwest, and the width ranged from one mile to one and a half miles. The depth was four or five o'clock everywhere, and the soil was silt containing sand. There was a small village on both sides of the left and right sides."

Muravyov then ordered the bay where the Neihu Sea was located was named Nakhodka Bay, meaning "discovery".

"I have lived in a village with twelve people. If I die, I will be a settlement. It should have been established recently. So I concluded that these place names were only available around 1856."

"It makes sense." Liu Sheng nodded, agreeing with Zhao Xin's judgment.

After talking about the old story, Zhao Xin talked about his plan after moving over. His idea was to use the impact plain in the northwest of the Falin River estuary as a stronghold and gradually advance northward. You should know that more than 100 kilometers northwest of the Falin River estuary is Shuangchengzi. Occupying this place is equivalent to opening the gate of the Sanjiang Plain.

Speaking of Falin River, it was not a name that was only named in 1856, but it was already in the Ming Dynasty.

In the first month of the fifth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the Folin Hewei was established in the Ming Dynasty, which was affiliated with the Nuergandusi. Because the pearls were produced locally, that is, Dongzhu, they used them to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Qi Zhaonan, a geographer in the Yongqin era, said in the 26th volume of the "Shui Road Outline" compiled by him: "......... all three sources come out of the pine forest. The northern mountain is the Lefutelku Mountain, which is the source of the newly opened lake. This water flows south and combines with the west water, with a total of about 300 miles into the sea."

If such a vast black soil is turned into farmland, how many people will it support! Besides, there are sand gold in many rivers.

When Zhao Xin thought of this, he felt very happy!

......

At this time, more than 200 miles southwest of Xiong Island, on the continent opposite the sea, in a small village on the south bank of the Hajimi River.

More than 20 families in the village were excited and were preparing for the arrival of the dynasty.

In a not-so-spacious yard, on the newly built stove outside the main house, wild boar and dried wild vegetables were rolling in a cast iron pot with a diameter of nearly three feet.

This is Yarha's home.

After the winter this year, no one in the village knew about the materials exchanges he had gone to Xiongdao for the first two times. But when he came back for the third time, the cast iron cauldron caused a sensation among the whole village.

As well, the new cotton robe and short boots he had exchanged for the first two times were known. So Yarha simply used a pair of short boots to exchange for half a wild boar. It was time for the New Year to eat some good food.

However, the small stainless steel basin, Yarha, has been hidden for the people in the village. To him, this is a treasure, and he is still counting on selling it to Ningguta in a few days and changing it to a few hanging money.

Now the old mother has also changed into a brand new cotton robe, and the other one is worn on her wife. After seeing this, Elu, the eldest son of the Serdan family, kept asking Yarha how to change it.

When Elu heard that only five solid-colored otter skins or fine-haired black fox skins could be replaced with such a cotton robe, he immediately jumped up and begged Yalha to take him with him next time he went there.

Yarha nodded in agreement with a smile.

At this time, after Yarha finished smoking a pot of cigarettes, he took off the short knife from his waist, forked out a small piece of wild boar meat from the pot, and put it in his mouth and chewed it for a few times.

He felt that the pork was almost cooked, so he took out the animal skin bag from his arms. This was the finest snowflakes and fine salt given to him by Sheng Haizhou.

Yarha carefully twisted out two pinches of salt from the animal skin bag and sprinkled it into the pot, and then stirred it in the pot with a short knife. He tasted the soup on the tip of the knife and felt it was a little light. So he twisted two pinches again.

"Put it less. That salt is expensive." Yarha's wife lifted the curtain and walked out of the main room.

"The pancakes are ready?" Yarha asked.

“It’s done.”

After Yarha's wife said that, she filled three pottery bowls with stewed wild boar and brought the bowl into the house with her daughter. Yarha's mother sat in the main seat, Yarha and her son sat on the left and right sides, while his wife and daughter sat on the lower head. In addition to the three steaming bowls of wild boar stew and buckwheat cakes, there was actually a small pot of white wine.

The Kurkazi people usually eat soba noodles and sorghum noodles, and sometimes they also eat wheat porridge. When the year is not good, they dig wild vegetable roots and cook them, and add some animal oil or fish candy to make them. As for corn, it is a very precious food and will only be prepared when the guests come.

Yarha's wife poured wine for the old man and her husband. The old lady wore a new cotton robe brought by her son, looked at the hot dishes on the table, and nodded with satisfaction.
