Gao Pragmatic has not personally visited Qinzhou Port, but Gao Mengnan's report has already been handed over. According to the investigation and discussion of the staff team brought by Gao Mengnan from Tianjin Port, it is believed that Qinzhou Port is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the waters in the harbor are wide, the wind and waves are small, the sand content is small, and the scouring and silting are balanced, so it is an excellent deep-water port.

This statement is in line with the understanding brought by Gao Pragmatic in his previous life - well, in fact, he was not very familiar with Qinzhou Port in his previous life, and the so-called understanding is mainly because he knows that Qinzhou Port is one of the big ports in the south.

Although China's infrastructure in later generations is unparalleled in the world, it must not be made out of nothing, and a big port is dug up, right? It can be seen that the natural foundation of this place must be good.

Not only the natural conditions are superior, but the location advantage is also very good. The Qinzhou Port is located in the Qinzhou Bay at the top of the Beibu Gulf in the South China Sea, bordering Nanning in the north, Lianzhou Fuzhi in the east, and Yong'an Prefecture in the southwest.

If I can't make this place, what kind of port are I playing?

Don't say much, buy the land first......

The matter of buying land is very convenient, because Gao Mengnan's report has already said that the local population in Qinzhou is very small now, especially because of the problem of Japanese pirates that has lasted for a hundred years, and the coastal area is almost completely deserted for dozens of miles, and their expedition team has been wandering around the port of Qinzhou for a long time, and there are not a few people alive at all.

Later, I learned that the locals had moved to Qinzhou Prefecture, which was thirty miles away from the port, and the port was almost an ownerless wasteland.

What else is there to say about this, according to the "law of preemption", just enclose the land and it will be over!

What is the method of "preemption"?

In Roman law, pre-emption was a form of acquisition in civil law, whether movable or immovable, as long as it was unclaimed property. This system of pre-emption is known as pre-emption liberalism. Subsequent Germanic law also provided for a pre-emption system, known as pre-emptionism.

Of course, this is from the so-called "international level" in later generations, ancient China did not believe in European law, and China's own law was counted, so how did Chinese law treat "preemption"?

As early as the pre-Qin period, the imperial court recognized the Qin people's prior ownership of timber and prey within the scope of the law. Qin Jian's "Law of the Fields" clearly stipulates the ownership of reclaiming wasteland, cutting down forests, and fishing and prey within the time and space allowed by the government.

During the reign of Emperor Xiaowu of the Song Dynasty in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the imperial court recognized the "sealing of the mountains and lakes and the forcible occupation of official fields", that is, the right of the bureaucratic landlords to seal the mountains and occupy the land, and recognized the system of pre-occupation.

The Tang Dynasty's "Tang Laws and Miscellaneous Laws" also had provisions on preemptive acquisition of inactive property.

The Song Dynasty inherited the regulations of the Tang Dynasty and used pre-emption as a way of original acquisition. As long as the person who first occupies the ownerless land pays the tax rent according to the "yuan industry", it does not belong to "illegal farming" and establishes his ownership.

In the Yuan Dynasty, pre-occupation as a means of property acquisition included pre-emption of unclaimed property and certain unmanaged public properties.

In the Ming Dynasty, pre-occupation was not only land ownership, but also an important way to obtain movable property ownership.

Due to the implementation of the tuntian policy in the early Ming Dynasty, which clearly stipulated that "reclaiming land should be its own business forever", state-owned wasteland, mountains and forests were also tacitly allowed to be acquired according to the principle of pre-emption. As for movable property, the Ming Law stipulates: "If the mountains and fields, firewood, grass, wood, stones, etc., have been cut down and accumulated by others, and those who take them without permission shall be considered as theft." That is, the recognition of ownership of the preemption of the processed force.

Now that the entire port of Qinzhou has become a terra nullius, Gao Shishi plans to develop there, which is naturally completely in line with the principle of "preemption" - as long as he pays taxes and is not afraid of pirates. And pay taxes...... Gao pragmatic actually doesn't have to pay taxes, not to mention his family background, he himself is a first-class jinshi and first, a dignified champion, and is naturally tax-free.

However, according to Gao Gong's later reforms, if he farmed near Qinzhou Port, he could be exempt from taxes, but he had to pay taxes to open a private port, and this rule was suggested by Gao Gong himself.

Fortunately, Daming is accustomed to low tax rates from top to bottom, so the tax rate of this private port is not high, after all, the idea of high pragmatism itself is to promote this kind of tax as a pilot, and does not plan to kill chickens and eggs at the beginning, and must first make people accustomed to the basis of "opening the port to pay taxes", and then they can raise the tax rate at the right time. If you start with a high tax rate, it is estimated that no one will be willing to do it.

In this case, what is polite, hurry up and start working in a circle, this is cheaper and more cost-effective than any of his private ports before!

Once this Qinzhou private port is built, I am afraid that it will really be a genuine "private port", and every inch of land is the legal private property of his Gao someone!

In the future, this Qinzhou Port is only afraid that it will be privately said to be Gaojiagang......

The construction of Qinzhou Port this time, not only Guangzhou Port has transferred a large number of manpower over, but also the northern ports, especially Tianjin Port, have also allocated capable personnel to support, after all, they have been a little idle in recent years, and in Jinghua, there are allowances and rewards for work, and only "dead wages" are available if there is no work.

The construction of Qinzhou Port is in full swing, and the first batch of personnel of the sugar refinery have also been recruited from Guangzhou Port. It has to be said that China's sugar industry has always been strong in the south and weak in the north, because the south is more suitable for growing sugar cane, while the north is actually more suitable for growing sugar beet due to the weather, but there is no sugar beet processing technology at this time, and it seems that the Europeans only made it in the nineteenth century, so most of the sugar in the north at this time was sold from the south. Guangdong, on the other hand, is obviously a major sugar province, and this is the reason for recruiting sugar talents from Guangdong.

Of course, Gao Pragmatic himself didn't have time to go over to personally train these people and teach them better sugar making techniques, but fortunately, these techniques were actually not much difficult.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, there are one or two places here that need to test the "heat", but Gao Shishi just listened to the technicians of the sugar factory in his county to give a brief introduction, and he didn't know how to master the heat, so he simply let the people in the sugar refinery do the test by themselves, and then summed up a set of feasible methods.

Anyway, the people below didn't dare to suspect that he didn't know how to pretend to understand.

Just kidding, he has been the real leader in the past two hundred years, how could the top six champions not understand this little way? The reason why I didn't say it was because Gao Jitai felt that this thing was too simple, and you just had to think of a way to do it yourself, and I had to say, what do you want to eat?

It can be seen that the greater the fame, the more convenient it is to pretend to be forced.

The problem of the sugar factory, dealt with here is roughly the same, the rest of the specific site selection of the factory, etc., do not have to worry about Gao pragmatic personally, he Jinghua has been a large group for ten years, if this matter has to be done by the owner, it is too unlucky.

So there is only one shipyard left to solve.

The personnel are easy to handle, and the highly pragmatic order has already been issued in the north and the south, and most of the people are either on the way to come, or have already arrived at the port of Guangzhou to wait for the next order.

The site selection has also set the general direction, which is set in Qinzhou, which is an estuary port, which can build sea ships and river boats at the same time, without delay. Although these two pieces will have to be separated sooner or later, they can do this now, so that they can make use of the existing resources and lay a good foundation first.

The main problem of raw materials must be solved quickly, of course, there is enough timber in Guangxi, and now there is no indiscriminate felling, and a large area of good forests is waiting for Gao Pragmatism. However, the process of logging, transportation, air drying, and storage must be arranged, especially the logging and transportation of the superiors, which is the work that Gao Shishi has planned in his heart to hand over to the toasts, and now it must be done quickly.
