Section 51 Ministry of Colonization and Trade

Figure 19 that accompanies the report is Leib? The whole territory of the harbor fort and the stone trestle drawn by Mr. Trini. It was the most haode angle we could see from the boat. Figure 20~67 is Leib? Mr. Trini's drawings of the various situations in the harbor and the ships moored in the harbor, of which Figure 25 is the "holy ship" of the Australians. The brochure provided by you states that there is a giant cannon on the foredeck of the ship, but it is impossible to confirm it from our point of view. No. 26~28 is a European-style ship owned by Australians. No. 29~33 are other vessels owned by Australians.

I will issue a second report once Australians have restored our freedom of movement.

A faithful servant of our master

Your most deferential servant

Junior businessman model? Transtron

On February 9, 1631, in the port of Lingao Bopu "Magdeburg".

After putting down the quill pen, Fan? Drantion spread out the letter, took out a piece of cardboard from his briefcase, which had many holes in it irregularly, and covered it with cardboard, compared it, and began to transcribe it on another sheet of paper.

Gonzalez couldn't help but laugh secretly when he saw the young businessman working so diligently—who were they going to send back to Batavia to deliver the letter now that they weren't even allowed to leave the ship? There were no trading houses of companies and no other ships from Batavia. Australians also never go to Batavia.

Loeb? Trini was drinking with a glass in his hand—here he waited to come ashore idlely, and the sailors and soldiers of the ship used it as a pastime to pass the time. The ship's steward bought a dozen barrels of rum and fifty cases of kvass, and the entire ship, with the exception of the sentinel, who was expressly forbidden to drink, was drunk at all times. On the deck, in the cargo hold, next to the cannon, there were drunk and sleeping "scum" lying everywhere. There had also been a tragic incident the night before, when a sailor had slept on the deck after getting drunk, and rolled into the water in the middle of the night. The sailor on duty found out that he had already died when he was scooped up. For this reason, Mr. Merchant had to pay a "corpse disposal fee" of eight riyals, and the port authority transported the body to the open sea for disposal.

Loeb? Trini, who had nothing to do but drink and draw, used projection and simple instruments on the deck to roughly map the topography of the port. Then he sketched everything that could be seen on the deck of the "Magdeburg". In particular, he depicts the "Holy Ship". On the other side of the bay, the swarthy shadow of the ship glows with a beauty that intoxicates him, both in terms of lines and light, under the clear blue waters and sky. Trini is a cartographer, half artist in Europe, where technology and art are not yet completely separated. Has a natural acuity for beautiful things.

Every day, there was a burst of smoke from the sacred ship, and sometimes a puff of black smoke would suddenly erupt. Mr. Trini wanted to find out what was going on the ship and what the Australians were doing -- and his interest in the "holy ship" grew by the day.

Now I saw the merchant wrapping his sketchbook and letters together, carefully wrapping them layer after layer with oiled paper, stamping them with fire paint, and putting Zuihou in a deerskin pocket. He felt a little dazed, although these pictures were just sketches, but was it safe to send them away with the letter like this? It's a few dozen days to get to Batavia, and any accident could leave the letter at the bottom of the ocean forever.

"How are you going to get the letter out?" Gonzalez finally couldn't help but ask.

"I just saw a junk unloading the deerskin of Formosa from a junk ship next to me - these Chinese merchants were obviously from the Grand Staff. I'm going to ask them to take it. "The merchant xiōng has Chengzhu," give them some money. They'll do it properly. ”

Although it would take a long time to get the letter to the officer and then to Batavia, the Magdeburg would not have to return for at least a month or two, given the time the ship had been in port at that time. Enough letters to get back to Batavia.

Even if the letter returned to Batavia later than theirs, it was still valuable - at least as a backup. In this era, not every ship is guaranteed to arrive at the port after setting sail.

In the building of the Ministry of Colonies and Trade, Skade sat in his office, full of ambition and ambition. At the Third Plenary Session of the Senate after the Annual Meeting, a by-election was held for the vacant Executive Committee. Skader was elected Minister of Colony and Trade in a by-election because he had long been in charge of the day-to-day work of the Ministry of Colonies and Trade, and he often advocated such statements as "the Pacific Ocean is the Pacific of China".

The first thing Skade did when he was elected was to move - in his opinion, the original Ministry of Colony and Trade was too small to meet his ambitions and the current swelling volume of business. Fortunately, since the construction of the patriarch's "Anju Building", there has been a lot more vacant land in Bairen City. He re-occupied a plot of land and built the building of the Ministry of Colonization and Trade.

The so-called building is actually a simple house dormitory in the past. Now most of the elders live in apartments, and there are a lot of accessories for simple houses. The thermal insulation efficiency of the sandwich panel with foam layer is not very good. Therefore, it was decided to use it only as a wall, adding a layer of wood-framed walls to the inside of the exterior wall, and filling it with diatomaceous earth, a natural insulation material.

Because the sandwich panels of the simple house can be installed quickly, his construction Jihua was not rejected by the Planning Institute. It took the construction company a week to get the house built.

From the outside, the new colonial trade office building has a strange appearance, it is a strange structure composed of two small three-story buildings with vaulted roofs between the small buildings. The ground floor of the small building is made of bricks, and the upper two floors are made of color steel plates. Between the two roofs is a vaulted wooden roof supported by wrought iron trusses. Installed with a glass sunroof. The front and back of the vault are closed with brick walls, so that it becomes a building with offices on both sides and a high hall in the middle. The whole building is filled with the smell of cottages.

Skeard loved the full-storey vaulted hall of Lingao Construction - and the sand table model on the planning display table below was so magnificent! So he wanted to do the same. In this way, standing on the balcony of the governor's office on the third floor, he can condescendingly look at the sand table and the busy staff around him, and fully satisfy his longing overlooking Shijie.

Underneath this vault are various sand tables. Skader believed that the work of the Colonial Trade Department was often similar to that of the General Staff, except that it was an economic staff. The basic skill of staff officers is to compare maps and sand tables.

Therefore, the hall is filled with various sand tables, the largest of which is the sand table of the entire East Asian sea area, and all the merchant ships and public commercial outlets owned by the crossers or contracted with the crossers are placed in the form of small flags and models.

Huge maps and tables are hung on the walls. One of the tables is a chart of trade flows, and the business data is filled in on cards of different colors and hung on the wall. The wall is like a colorful chessboard. Once a day, the Colonial Trade Department and the Naval Shipping Service, the Port Service, the Director's Department of Manufacturing, and the various radio-available outposts exchanged information. Female clerks with long fork poles change the position of the cards as requested. At the bottom of the diagram, a group of people called "calculators" sit in office cubicles, using slide rule and dipping pens to calculate the data handed to them.

They were selected from among the naturalized people who had obtained a C diploma and were taught some mathematical method of calculation. Each of them is responsible for memorizing only one calculation formula. The job is to fill in the equation with the data and then extrapolate the result with a pen and slide rule. The purpose and principle of the calculation are not important, as long as the result can be calculated correctly, a qualified calculator is qualified. Because of repeated mechanical exercises, their calculation speed is very fast

Every few months, they learn another formula to make sure they can substitute for each other

Through sophisticated management, which ships have left the port, which are in the process of loading and unloading at berth, and which ships are currently empty. what kind of cargo each ship carried; The variety and quantity of this month's import and export demand can be checked at any time. The Senate and all departments are given at any time a forecast of when a certain kind of material will arrive in a certain direction, if nothing else.

The Colonial Trade Department did not own its own ships—something that Skade had always been concerned about. Where the steamship was formed, he insisted that the company be in the hands of his own department, but Zuihou still fell into the hands of the Ministry of Communications and the Navy, which made him angry - the Ministry of Colony and Trade without ships was a big joke!

Of course, he was incapable of resisting the Navy's attempts to monopolize shipping. I had to swallow my anger for the time being, and prepared to wait for the shipyards in Hong Kong to ship on a large scale before talking about the shipping companies directly under the central government. Right now. The focus of all tasks should revolve around the actions of the Ministry of Colonial Trade in Hongkai! If you can solve the coal supply problem that plagues the Senate once and for all, you will speak much louder when the Executive Committee and the Senate meet. The demands put forward are more "reasonable".

"Whether a requirement is 'reasonable' depends on how important you are within the group." Skade often said this.

He looked down from the large glass window next to his desk: in the hall, several veterans and naturalized staff of the Colonial Department were busy around a newly created sand table, which represented the form around Vietnam's Hongji and corrected it with map stakeouts from old time and space and survey data reported from the front.
