ps: Thank you for the reward!

Six days after Sun Bin arrived in Rio Gran do Sul, the first fleet of Cuban Chinese laborers arrived at their destination.

The Cuban Chinese laborers arrived in Rio Gran do Sul and were repaired and adapted to the port for two days, and on the third day, the ships from the port loaded the Chinese laborers in batches and transported them to various parts of the Principality of Rio Grande do Sul.

The first group of Cuban Chinese laborers went to three main places, the first was to go to Pasofontu to participate in the installation and construction of the factory, and this part had the largest number of people, about 15,000 people.

Second: the destination is Nyvia, the construction of the Wehrmacht's naval base in the north of the principality, which requires about 4,000 Chinese laborers.

Thirdly, it is dispersed throughout Rio Grande do Sul and engaged in agricultural and livestock production.

When Brazil ruled the two southern states, they were limited by a sparse population and poor infrastructure, which led to slow development in the region. After the Chinese occupied the area, roads, towns, agriculture, and industry needed to be built from scratch.

Industry and agriculture are the two cornerstones to ensure the healthy development of the country, and in terms of industry, Pasuphondu is the core industrial base under construction.

In terms of agriculture, the two southern states have a mild climate and abundant precipitation, making them ideal areas for agricultural production.

There are many areas suitable for agriculture in the two southern states, but based on the current situation of the Chinese, the first agricultural production area was finally decided to be established in Pelotas.

Pelotas is located at the southern mouth of Lake Patus, on the left bank of the San Gonzalo waterway in the Atlantic Ocean, 244 kilometers away from Porto Alegre in the northeast and 40 kilometers away from Rio Grande in the southeast.

The climate of Pelotas is mild and humid, the terrain is flat and low, the coastal areas are suitable for rice cultivation, and the inland Campos steppe is suitable for the development of animal husbandry.

Coupled with the local proximity to the sea and the excellent port, the agricultural and animal husbandry products produced can be transshipped by sea to other parts of Rio Gran do Sul or exported to European countries.

Pelotas had towns left behind by Brazilians, and when Chinese troops arrived here, some of the local whites fled to Uruguay for refuge, and some of the Indian and black slaves were kept in centralized custody and returned to the Brazilians as part of the Brazilian peace talks.

As a result of several targeted policies, Pelotas' population has been cut in half, and the once-busy agricultural port trade has been severely hit, with less than a third of the ships coming and going during the busy season.

Agricultural and animal husbandry trade is the main way for the southern states to obtain overseas fiscal revenues.

The Chinese replaced the Brazilians as the masters of the two southern states, and after devoting most of their energy to the construction of industry and housing, they began to devote some of their energy to the development of agriculture and animal husbandry.

Pelotas is the main agricultural development area, and about 4,000 of the remaining 6,000 Cuban Chinese laborers are assigned to Pelotas.

When the Brazilians ruled Pelotas, they practiced a free-range approach, with agricultural land scattered in the hands of local whites, divided into small plots of land on which different crops were grown according to the owner's preferences.

Brazil is a vast and sparsely populated country, and even though large areas of land are inefficient, the local whites who own vast tracts of land still have ample incomes.

The superior natural environment nourishes the fertile fields, and the lack of an existential crisis lifestyle also leads to the lazy character of the local population.

Sitting on Baoshan, eating and drinking do not worry, after roughly planting a season of crops, there is no need to hoe weeds, watering management, autumn arrives, just sit and wait for the harvest.

Argentina, Brazil, and Chile were known as the ABC of South America in later generations, and they are the three main powers of South America, but in addition to Chile, which relies on mineral exports to barely enter the admission ticket of developed countries, Brazil hovers in the ranks of developing countries, and Argentina is even worse, and at the beginning of the twentieth century, it was already the world's leading developed country, and its per capita income was higher than that of the United States at the same time.

However, in the second half of the twentieth century, Argentina's economic development stagnated, the country was in turmoil, and the opposition parties threw the responsibility for the stagnation of economic development to the Argentine elite class in order to support the support of the low-level civilians, and won the approval of a large number of low-level people, and then the opposition parties came to power and nationalized the land wealth held by the elite class and distributed it equally to the low-level civilians.

The land of the landlords and the elite class did not come out of thin air, except for some people who obtained it through clever grabbing, and the land of the majority of the people was obtained by their ancestors or themselves through hard work, and the indiscriminate deprivation of their land had a bad impact, and it was a blatant robbery of the majority against the minority.

The radical democratic revolution was similar in nature to the peasant uprisings of the feudal period.

The long-term stable environment has led to a sharp increase in the population, the accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few people in the process of social development, the accumulation of contradictions caused by the differentiation of social wealth has erupted to a certain extent, uprisings have continued, wars have been repeated, a large number of people have died of war, plague, and starvation, the population has decreased, land has been redistributed, and the contradictions have been alleviated.

The land of Rio Gran do Sul is not unlimited, and Li Mingyuan will not be arrogant that with his more than 30,000 field troops to conquer the entire South American state, with the influx of Chinese immigrants, the land with a total area of 403,000 square kilometers will become a densely populated area in a few decades.

The population is increasing, and the land is decreasing. The Chinese who were originally grateful to Li Mingyuan will turn into dissatisfaction, and new contradictions will quickly erupt in the accumulation.

The environment has changed the racial character of the people, the Dutch descendants have developed a heroic and warlike national character in the South African highlands, the Portuguese and Spanish who have immigrated to South America have become lazy and romantic, and the hard-working Chinese laborers are also likely to be assimilated by the environment after adapting to a comfortable life for decades.

The Chinese who came from the Peruvian expedition had experienced the test of war, and 300 acres of land per person was a reward for their merits.

Unlike the Chinese soldiers who came by boat from Cuba, they did not contribute to the Principality of Rio Gran do Sul, and Li Mingyuan would not give them land for free.

It is not for nothing that the monarchy has existed for thousands of years, and even in the later period when democracy and republics were common, there were still more than 20 monarchies.

The monarch is nominally the master and symbol of the country, and in order to maintain their rule, they need to maintain the stability of the country, ensure the balance of interests of all strata of the people in the country, and establish a fair and just monarch image.

Li Mingyuan formulated a policy of distributing land according to merit, and he could not undermine his own policy just because there was a large amount of land that was now barren.

The first and subsequent Chinese Cuban laborers were not granted their land for a year, and after one year, they were granted between 30 and 100 acres of land, depending on their merit in military service and construction work.

After the announcement of the policy on Chinese immigrants, neither the Chinese soldiers who had already been given the land nor the Chinese Cuban laborers who had just arrived had no opinion, and the retired soldiers were proud that they were able to allocate a large amount of land, and the Cuban Chinese laborers were also happy and satisfied that they were freed from the land of death and could obtain a large area of land through serving as soldiers and laboring.

Attracted by the land, the Chinese workers in Cuba after two days of repairing were enthusiastic about their work, and they all wanted to make a good impression of hard work in the eyes of the Chinese soldiers who supervised them, and to get more land.

In the coastal area of Pelotas, more than 200 Chinese laborers cut down the surrounding trees under the guidance of five or six retired soldiers, and more than 100 people cleared the vacant land left by the trees that were removed.

Pelotas is a source of grain, cattle and sheep animals, and the grain produced and the beef and mutton produced need to be industrially processed before they can be shipped out of the port, so a flour mill and a meat processing plant equipment have been transported to Pelotas, and two buildings left in Brazil have been requisitioned for industrial use and are being renovated to fit the machinery and equipment installation.

Eric was one of the thousand Prussian mechanics and specialists, and his main job was to plan and build Pelotas.

"Sun, the port of Pelotas is 500 meters long, the deepest area has a water depth of 30 meters, the average water depth is above 10 meters, and it can dock ocean-going giant ships with a draft of 5 meters, so it is an excellent port."

Eric briefs Sun Bin on the hydrographic data of the port of Pelotas.

"We are one kilometer away from the port, and the flour and meat products processed by the flour mills and meat processing plants can be shipped directly through the port.

The open space on the left side of the flour mill and meat processing plant can be planned as a large warehouse, through which the grain produced in the plains and the skins of farmed animals are stored in a centralized manner, and then sold to foreign merchant ships.

An animal trading area is set up on the right side of the factory area, and animals such as horses, cattle, sheep, and wild deer are managed and traded in different areas......"

The Kingdom of Prussia originated in the southern Baltic Sea, where the large landowners and Junker nobles dominated the kingdom, and the southern Baltic Sea was fertile and had a developed agricultural industry, so the Prussians were no strangers to agricultural development.

"Shizi dispatched 4,000 workers and 1,000 retired soldiers to participate in the construction, if there are any aspects that need to be dealt with, you can tell me directly, and I will arrange manpower to assist you in your work."

Professional things are left to professional people to do, Eric is an expert invited back from Prussia, and Sun Bin will meet his requirements.
