Section 449 The period of great development

After getting married, the couple returned to Java to settle down, and since then there have been branches and leaves, Qiu Fengji continued to work as his engineer, while Yang Wenqi joined the governor's palace to engage in health and epidemic prevention work, mainly mosquito control!

The two spent their honeymoon, and Qiu Fengjide's wife taught: "You must work actively and hard, but you must also combine work and rest!" ”

"Remember, as long as you have a life, you will become a general!" The wife said with a face.

"Little one!" Qiu Fengji nodded repeatedly.

He returned to the team and got a new engineer battalion, the 10th Engineering Battalion, of which he was the battalion commander!

He led his troops and began an intense effort to repair the earth.

Qiu Fengji has always been serious and active, working hard, working hard when he goes home to rest, work and family double harvest, the military rank continues to improve, and finally became a lieutenant general, his efforts were not in vain, Yang Wenqi was made by him to be a six-year four-cub, become a "heroic mother", enjoy the allowance of the southeast province.

The picture is frozen, the couple is holding a child in each hand, smiling, this is a happy and happy family!

……

Qiu Fengji is one of the lucky people in the great era of Chinese development in Southeast Asia, in this development tide, by the southeast province of the engineering troops, the southeast province companies, single households, have put their own manpower, funds, materials and energy into that side of the hot land, some people died, died in the war or died by malaria, but most people got what they wanted---- land and wealth!

The Chinese, the Imperial Army, the conquered aborigines, and the slave-owned people worked together. They developed the land, dug canals, built water conservancy channels, eliminated swamp water, cut down forests, and created thousands of hectares of fertile land, which were used to grow rice, vegetables and fruits, and the grain crops were mainly rice, and under good soil, fertilization, light and irrigation conditions, the yield per mu reached more than 300 kilograms, and then stabilized at 350-400 kilograms per mu, and in the harvest years, it reached 450 kilograms per mu.

Such a yield exceeded the average yield per mu in the Suzhou-Hangzhou region and the Taihu Lake Basin, where rice cultivation was most developed in the Ming Dynasty.

But no matter how much rice cultivation flourishes in Southeast Asia, 5%-10% of the land is used to grow sweet potatoes and cassava that were later introduced, which were used to cope with typhoons.

Due to the many typhoons in Southeast Asia, in addition to rice, sweet potatoes and cassava are planted, and attention is paid to repairing warehouses, which are made of cement, which are sturdy and durable, and are not afraid of storms.

Cash crops have been greatly developed, sugarcane planting area has been expanded, and sweet business has been built;

Tobacco, coconuts, etc., are generally planted in dry land, and rice is planted in places with a lot of water.

The Southeast Province promulgated the Land Law to encourage land development, and individuals could get 50 acres of land for free, even if they owned land in the Taiwan Province of Southeast Province, and they could continue to get it, and they would be owned forever after five years of cultivation.

On the other hand, commercial companies formed from capital can apply to the government to obtain land, and in order to encourage development, the cost is not much.

However, if the government releases the land and the company gets the land, if it is not developed and does not generate appropriate taxes, it will have to pay a vacancy fee, which will be increased year by year, and if it is not developed for ten years, the government will reclaim the land.

The Land Law stipulates that the landowner has all the rights to the resources on the land, for example, if coal is found on the land, it is owned by the landowner, and the government generally does not recycle it and does not rob everyone's land.

The timber obtained from the land belongs to the landlord.

Then again, land granting is not something you want to have, but the government first explores it, and if there are no mineral deposits, it can be used to issue it to companies and people, and the land with minerals must be obtained by the development group dominated by Yan Dashao!

He eats meat, and everyone drinks soup, but there will be benefits, and he will not eat it alone.

"Gold is the thing of the ruling government, and it is not a good thing for others to have it!" Yan Changwu admonished everyone.

Gold belongs to the color of the ruling government and the Yan family, and ordinary people use it ominously, and there is no blessing to use gold, Yan Changwu specializes in using gold.

Then there are silver mines and copper mines, silver and copper coins are currency, and copper can be used to make cannons, all of which are strictly controlled by the government, and ordinary people cannot easily own them.

In addition to gold, silver and copper, Yan Changwu will not compete with others for the rest of the minerals and natural resources, but let everyone get rich.

This is a rule of the game that all people in the Southeast Province abide by.

The southeast government mainly relies on commercial taxes to obtain income, and once the land income enters social circulation, it must pay taxes, and pay corresponding taxes according to the tax rate of the government.

For example, if the coal is found, the landowner uses it for his own use, and there is no problem, and the government does not care. But once it is sold, it has to pay taxes, and if it is not paid, the government can even confiscate the land.

"Death and taxation are inevitable" is the saying of Sun Chengzong, the senior minister of the southeast government and the left-behind governor of Taiwan Province, everyone knows that the government collects taxes very badly, so they have developed the habit of paying taxes.

In the land of Southeast Asia, people smoke tobacco, boil sugar, make wine, export forest trees, where a large number of ironwood, sandalwood, ebony and teak are abundant, and the attitude of protection of timber has appeared, and the "Southeast Province Forest Law" has appeared, when reclaiming land, it is strictly forbidden to burn the forest by fire, all wood must be cut down and utilized, and the fuel used by personal life and enterprises, try to use low-value wood, and finally use coal.

Vigorously promote the "rule of law" among the people of the southeast province, standardize everyone's behavior, starting from the top leader, the southeast province gradually turned to the rule of law, for the development and utilization of forests, but also pay attention to protection, some of the felled forest areas, if not used as farmland and converted into towns, then require replanting back trees.

People have found mineral deposits, such as coal, tin, copper, gold, silver, etc., in fact, there are aluminum, nickel, oil, natural gas, etc., but many minerals have not yet been developed.

Coal and tin production rose steadily, and the southeast government also took advantage of the trend to switch fuel to coal, stipulating that everyone should take care of forests and not develop forests to use as fuel.

Metal smelting flourished, and people smelted tin, which was used to build tin pots, tin candlesticks, tin utensils, etc., and to knock tin foil to wrap spices and sweets to protect them from moisture, and then to make bronze, with a ratio of tin to copper 3:7.

The city of Java continued to expand, building new wharves to dock more and more ships, and at the same time the Java Shipbuilding Group appeared, a total of eight forces, including Yan Changwu's funds were also invested in the shipbuilding group, he does not occupy a controlling position, this is his benevolence----- everyone has wealth together!

Production of boats, sloops, brigs, three-masted ships, the largest shipyard, will be opened in a year and will be used to build larger battleships!

……

Almost all the Chinese who arrived in Southeast Asia made a fortune, and the army was dispatched more, the subsidies were high, and the income was more. Private individuals, on the other hand, earned their first pot of gold through the exploitation of resources, and engaged in planting, forestry, production of sugar, tobacco and liquor, development of mineral deposits, shipbuilding, infrastructure construction, and so on.

The southeastern government focuses on infrastructure construction, land development, roads, ports, etc., and an important project is health and quarantine, focusing on mosquito prevention.

The cinchona tree plantation was launched, extracting the effective ingredients to treat people suffering from malaria and saving many lives.

The construction of hospitals to prevent and control diseases, coupled with the strict control of the spread of diseases by local governments, has invested a lot of money;

Pay attention to hygiene, remove stagnant water, and eliminate mosquito breeding grounds;

planting a large number of mosquito-repellent plants in residential areas to repel mosquitoes;

Use mosquito nets and window screens to prevent mosquitoes when staying in buildings.

When going out, dress tightly and apply insect repellent to the skin of the fruit;

Cities harden cement, build sewers, and suppress mosquito breeding.

……

In fact, after the southeast province entered Southeast Asia, the prevention and control of tropical diseases was listed as a top priority in dealing with indigenous and Caucasian people, and finally it was difficult to wreak havoc and has been controlled at a low level.

The key is also the obedience of the Chinese, they trust their leaders, almost all of them regulate their living habits in accordance with the provisions of the government, a clear example is that there are very few outbreaks of dysentery and other digestive tract infections in the Chinese community, because the Chinese generally drink boiled water, they are quite hygienic, they have to wash their hands when eating, and they cook things to eat, etc., this kind of civilized hygiene behavior is rarely seen in the previous mainland, and they are all under the instructions of their leaders, all Chinese people do it, and children are taught by adults from an early age. So that the Chinese can save their strength in the harsh environment for the first time, so as to change the environment!
