There are a lot of documents about the Ryukyus, and from the time they landed on the island to the present, it was at least four months, and in four months, 120 days and nights, they did a lot and recorded a lot of things on the island.

As a superior person, the simplest trade-off can still be done, many simple, daily accounts, are casually looked at by Zhou Chong, only things that are really related, will be focused on watching.

In this process of combining rough reading and intensive reading, Zhou Zhong finally turned to the last page of the diary, where there is a record of the last time and the last supply was sent to the Ryukyus.

In the Ryukyus, the original settlements have been completed, and at present, 3 barracks are being built, and they have begun to stock up on food under the premise of ensuring consumption.

Mainly dehydrated compressed food and canned food, so far, if all supplies are normal, these excess food are enough to attack 400 people alone for 2 months.

The food of the Ryukyus is not only these, because knowing that there are wild beasts around, and there are also a large number of wild fruits, the Dinghai Navy has prepared some maps of the past, which is a summary of some edible things in similar places.

These things are just for the unforeseen need, so they don't take much, and some of the main field exploration teams will watch them, and when they don't affect the mission, they will collect some to enrich the food.

In the same way, fresh food is always better than dehydrated food, and even after only two or three months, some people are tired of it, and the hunting never stops.

For other places in the Northern Song Dynasty, the more expensive salt is not an expensive thing in the Dinghai Navy, and the price of the salt in the Dinghai Navy is about one catty, and it is sent to the Ryukyus, which is more expensive, but in the goods that transport hundreds of tons of materials, 100 kilograms of salt are attached, which is not a problem at all.

Some of these salts are used to determine the daily consumption of the navy, and how much salt can be consumed by a team of 400 people, and most of these salts are used for other purposes.

For example, clean the wound with clean salt water, for example, use salt to handle food.

Most of the things hunted in the wild will rot quickly, and if you get more from hunting than you use, you can't store them.

With salt, it is very different, pickling is the earliest way to deal with food, after simple pickling, at the very least, meat and other foods, their preservation time, will be greatly increased.

With these game, the current grain reserves in the Ryukyus are about 30 days, and if they really run out of food, relying on gathering and hunting, and assisting in a certain amount of fish farming, they will be able to survive for more days.

When the camp was already basic, and had a complete barbed wire fence and a lot of protection, they began to go outside, and the vanguard had already surveyed the entire basin nearby.

It's a very good location, not only does it have a lot of land along the coast that can be used for construction, but also the bay, and even if the port is built on a large scale without construction, it can accommodate ships for a short time, as long as it's not the kind of tropical storm.

In itself, the location of this place is the Taipei of later generations, which is not a world-class seaport, and it is not the first in Taiwan, but compared to this era, this is already very good.

In the map formed by long-term exploration, many places are clearly marked, on the land, a basin that is similar to the Dinghai Navy, and the difference with the Dinghai Navy is that the area of the land here is quite vast, plus some relatively low mountains, the actual area used is larger than that of the Dinghai Navy.

At the same time, it is also described in detail about whether the island is inhabited or not, and some dangerous areas are marked.

The choice of location, and the careful relationship, only found the traces of the aborigines, but no contact, the closest aborigines to the settlement, almost 60 kilometers away, did not find the nest of the mountain tribe for the time being, but there were some dense areas.

This distance is a safe distance, 60 kilometers, which in the past was basically a 2-day journey without horses and other means of transportation, and it was completely on foot.

For the aborigines, unless there is a problem with food, the aborigines will not come so far when they are idle.

Even if there is a problem with food, they will venture into the deep mountains full of dangers, rather than going to the relatively rich plains, and the reason why the aborigines are called the high mountain people is that they are afraid of the sea.

The indigenous people have a simple inheritance, even if there is no written language, and it will be passed on by word of mouth through songs and the like.

Such a simple ballad may not record everything as recorded in history, but it can make them awe of the sea, which is a place full of dangers, which is why there are so many beast resources in the vicinity of their settlement, but there is no track of Gaoshan people's activities.

The kind of storm that is recorded in the song, because of the storm caused by the ocean storm, that is the power of the sea god, only the ancestral spirit on the high mountain can resist, rashly run to the sea, touch the sea god, will encounter nightmares.

In the era when science did not exist, the unexplainable, supernatural power could only be explained by the gods, and there was no way to find its roots.

To a certain extent, this erroneous view has helped the Dinghai Navy, and the Dinghai Navy's bridgehead plan has proceeded quite smoothly and has not been hindered.

The vanguard of the Dinghai Navy sent elite forces to probe the results, the more the primitive man's activity signs, the deeper into the mountains, the denser they became, and in the plains close to the mountains, there were few tracks of activity.

A series of news also strengthened Zhou Chong's thoughts, even if there are no more mineral deposits, but a simple basin, not only has the favorable conditions of a deep-water port, but also a vast land, the basin itself is almost as big as the Dinghai Navy, and there is a lot of land that can be used.

Zhou Zhong stayed in the secretariat for almost a day, not only carefully reading all the diaries, but also making some notes, for example, he tried to carry out some industrial layout, without considering the large number of dense residential areas, which was enough to accommodate the entire industry of the Dinghai Navy.

After knowing about Ryukyu and seeing the information here, Zhou Zhong has been very clear about Zhao Xin's purpose, Zhao Xin asked them to go before, and it was really for a purpose, in order to select a manager of Ryukyu.

Among the four people, he was already in the lead, because he had asked the personnel of the secretariat, and he was the only one who came over and looked through the materials, and the others did not realize that Zhao Xin was looking for the Ryukyu leader.

Zhou Zhong returned satisfied, and at the same time as he arrived at the secretariat, the news about his arrival and reading the information about the Ryukyus was also transmitted to Zhao Xin.

To be honest, this is also an assessment, if no one goes to the secretariat to look for it in a week, Zhao Xin will also give them some tips.

It's just that I didn't expect Zhou Zhong to be so spiritual and find the target so quickly, and on the balance of candidates, Zhao Xin leaned a little more.

Ryukyu is too important, and for a long time to come, Zhao Xin may not be able to find a real replacement for Ryukyu, unless he can land on the mainland.

The selection of the leadership of the Ryukyus is a long process, and it is still very early.

Large-scale development of the Ryukyus, that is a matter of the future, now, it is still too early, there are not enough transportation forces, rash development of the Ryukyus, maybe at the beginning, because of the relationship he cares about, will get a leapfrog development, but what about the future?

Without a large enough convoy of transports to support the consumption of the Ryukyus, the development of the Ryukyus, which will always be small-scale, makes little sense in such development.

Garrisons and settlements are always the least demanded, real industrialization, the materials needed are very terrible, a 300 square kilometers or so Dinghai needs such a large amount of materials, how much does a larger Ryukyus need, Zhao Xin will put some new industries in the Ryukyus, when the time comes, maybe the industrial output value of the Ryukyus will become 10 times, 20 times that of the Dinghai, such an industry, the demand for raw materials is terrible.

Ryukyu is a treasure island, with some natural mineral deposits, some of which are also very valuable for mining, but it does not have all the things that are produced by industry, and it must be shipped in large quantities.

In the same way, the Ryukyus are also a place where agriculture can be developed, and now the navy is very rich and can buy it on a large scale, but there is no agricultural stability, this sentence is not simply a statement, a power, if there is no place to grow food, itself, may be controlled by others.

For millions or even tens of millions of people, the daily consumption of food alone is an astronomical amount, and relying solely on purchase accounts for a very large proportion of transportation volume.

Especially under the premise that the equivalent change is transformed into a qualitative change, the increase in the population of the Dinghai Navy will cause problems with the labor force of the Northern Song Dynasty, and when the time comes, the Dinghai Navy and the Northern Song Dynasty may not be in that kind of harmony, if the Northern Song Dynasty controls it a little, such as the forbidden sea, it will make the Dinghai Navy unable to buy enough food.

If you can't buy supplies, it may only affect the output of various products in the Northern Song Dynasty, but if you can't buy food, it will be a terrible nightmare for the Dinghai Navy, which takes the island as the main body.

Ryukyu, more than 30,000 square kilometers of land, used for industry, only a small part, it is estimated that there can be two or three thousand square kilometers, which is already good, and the rest, the plains suitable for development, can be used for farming, which is significantly different from the Dinghai.

The vast majority of the land used for residential and industrial purposes is used for residential and industrial purposes, and even the greening is maintained at a relatively ordinary level, and some corners are used as much as possible for layout.

Even industrial land and residential land cannot be used openly, and the land of the Dinghai Navy is strictly controlled, of course, there is no large amount of land for planting, and the only land with 40 hectares belongs to the Agricultural Research Institute.

In the future, with the beginning of the development of the Ryukyus, this part of the research institute will gradually turn to the Ryukyus, and the future Dinghai will become a commercial center and a city dominated by light industry.

In the future, with infinite possibilities, especially when the card system is combined with the traverser, the development of the Navy will develop steadily in accordance with Zhao Xin's will, until it reaches the peak, which Zhao Xin is sure of.

Next, the entire Dinghai Navy was not shocked, Wang Xue also chose to read these materials a week later, looking at the two officials who were engaged in politics, they both looked through the information of the Ryukyus, Zhao Xin was also relieved, these two people's qualifications are good, and they are worth cultivating.

At that time, Sun Ji and Xue Yu, they were in the military, and they had more access channels than Zhou Chong, and it was even more convenient, but from beginning to end, they didn't expect that Zhao Xin still had the plan to develop Ryukyu.

Some things are really talented, and without this talent, forcibly mentioning that level is really not good.

Fortunately, Zhao Xin has already made a choice, using the military and the government to separate the family, and put the more trusted Sun Ji and Xue Yu in the military, which has a relatively small influence and is more independent.

At that time, the selection of Zhou Zhong and Wang Xue can only be investigated slowly, left and right, even if the Dinghai Navy goes all out to expand its shipbuilding capacity, it will take a certain amount of time, and they still have the kung fu to choose slowly.

This time, it is related to the candidates for the largest area in the future of the Dinghai Navy, so it has been buried, in the Dinghai Navy, the impact is not great, the development of the Dinghai Navy is still along the scope delineated by Zhao Xin, and it is developing steadily, even if it is a lot of industries, it has not been opened in the Dinghai Navy, but simply the scale of the Dinghai Navy now, there is nothing that can stop it, and the future must belong to the Dinghai Navy.

In more than two months, the monsoon will change, and when the time comes, the fleets of the maritime merchants will leave, and when the time comes to go home, there will be no reason to stop them from going back.

Hometown, for any wanderer who has left his hometown, is difficult to give up, even if there is no China, the tradition of the Lunar New Year is the same, any country and nation, there will be such a festival.

Such festivals are different in every country, but the purpose is to reunite their families, even if there is no festival, the simple reunion of family members is enough to support them to go back, not to mention, the materials obtained by maritime merchants from the Northern Song Dynasty, as long as they are transported back to their hometowns, they can obtain a large amount of income, which is much higher than these fixed freight.

Although the Dinghai Navy can use various methods, for example, to pay higher transportation fees to delay their travel, but at most, it is a month, because they also have to consider safety, once it is too late, the monsoon changes, at least for a year, they will not be able to return to their hometown.

With this in mind, the biggest task of the navy at present is not to develop the Ryukyus, but to build a large-scale shipyard to ensure the stability of the navy's supplies even after losing the huge fleet of maritime merchants.
