The Guarani, of course, did not react.

After learning that the Ping'an Coal Mine had taken thunderous measures, the group of natives who were severely shocked by the four corpses swaying in the wind on the gallows were so frightened that they were colorless. Some of the fellows who had committed a lot of crimes even packed up their things overnight and crossed the Gérard Mountains to the north and took refuge in the Paraná region. The remaining Guarani were much more honest, and not only were many of the stolen tools returned, but even a section of the track that had been demolished was quietly restored that night.

In the following days, the coal mine did not continue to expand the situation, and Baishui planned to accept it as soon as it was good. Since the Guaraní people are honest, there is no need to hold on to them, and there seems to be some kind of consensus and balance between the two sides.

When Xu Wenxuan took the coal transport ship the next day to return to Ping'an Fort, the nearby Guarani people even sent more than a dozen school-age children to Xu Wenxuan to go back to Ping'an Fort to study.

"It's a pity that the natives are afraid of power but not virtuous." Standing on the dock, Xu Wenxuan sighed. Later, he boarded an inland river transport ship full of refined coal, which was the first ship of coal to be transported from Ping'an Coal Mine in a few days.

After the matter of the coal mine was resolved, Xu Wenxuan hurried back to Ping'an Fort. Now that everything in Ping'an Fort is complicated, it is the time for him to earn credit and performance, how can he not rush back? More than a dozen Guarani children were sent to Ping'an Fort Primary School, and then he plunged headlong into the construction site of Ping'an New Town.

The construction of the city wall and factory buildings will not be completed in a short time, and it is still under intense construction. Correspondingly, the 20 textile machines that have been installed in the Ping An Machine Weaving Factory a while ago have been almost debugged at this moment. A group of seconded workers from East Coast's machine textile mill began trial production while taking time to train new workers.

Cotton gins, spinning machines and looms are not complicated, a worker who has never been in contact with them can basically master all the essentials of operation as long as he concentrates on learning for a few days, and all that remains is to brush up on proficiency. The workers of the machine textile factory of the original East Coast Company were also very careful, and some of the tips they had summed up in their work related to product quality, output and equipment maintenance were also broken up one by one and carefully explained to the new workers, so that they could avoid detours in production and enter the role as soon as possible. For their generosity and non-concealment, the General Administration of Textile Industry is not without saying that every worker who came to impart experience received a cash reward of five yuan.

At the end of October, at the end of the trial production of the Ping An Machine Weaving Factory, the first batch of 1,000 cotton cloth experience received the quality of qualified, and the new batch of 20 machines began to be installed and commissioned, the second batch of immigrants from the Ming Dynasty also arrived at Ping'an Fort after many tosses. For this group of "delicate and expensive" new immigrants, the Executive Committee, the Government Council, Ping'an Fort, Zhenhai Fort, and the Textile Industry Bureau have all made as reasonable and sufficient arrangements as possible.

It's not okay to be careless, these 900 new immigrants spent more than 30 yuan of money from the Ministry of Finance! Of this amount, $170,000 was spent by the Ministry of Finance, and the other $150,000 was again lent to the Ministry of Finance by the East Coast Company. As a result, the Ministry of Finance can be said to be heavily indebted, and now it has a huge debt of up to 350,000 yuan. Fortunately, there is no interest to be paid on this debt, otherwise the Treasury may be like Queen Victoria when she first came to power, and the annual revenue will only be enough to pay the interest to their Dutch creditors (the British debt could not be repaid in a normal way, but they later paid it off in an abnormal way). That's right, it's to rob the Spaniards, embarrassed! ）。

After paying the Portuguese a huge amount of money for immigration, there are still more than 20,000 yuan left in the treasury of the Ministry of Finance, and more than 60,000 yuan left in the treasury of the East Coast Company. When the Executive Committee and the Government Council learned of this situation, a group of people looked at each other and suddenly felt a lot of pressure. As the main product of next year's export earnings, cotton cloth seems to be bound to open the French market, otherwise, everyone will wait for bankruptcy.

Speaking of the group of immigrants in front of us, we have to say that the "good cooperative partner" of the East Coast Republic of China - Liu Xiang and Liu Da, the leaders of the South Guangdong. With the credit of hundreds of "immigrants" last year, Liu Xiang got a lot of muskets and cannons from the Portuguese, and this year's life is suddenly much better. In several skirmishes with Zheng Zhilong, he also took advantage of some advantages, which made him much more enthusiastic about "immigrating to Nanyang for the Francois people".

At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, Liu Xiang secretly bypassed the east coast of Taiwan twice and went north, avoiding the Wentai area, which had been guarded against because of last year's plunder, and went straight to Wusong, Nantong Prefecture and other places, plundering countless people and property, and shaking it for a time between far and near. Of course, he didn't always do things like this, and he also secretly sent his henchmen and some business informants to Nanzhili and some parts of Shandong to recruit displaced people in the name of reclamation, which also fooled many people for a while.

When Liu Xiang was in action, the Portuguese could not resist the temptation of gold coins, and they secretly went to Japan to recruit immigrants, and at the same time financed several groups of pirates to land on Jeju Island in Korea. The North Koreans have been at peace for a long time and are completely defenseless. The Kuha-Kha Wako even defeated several Korean forces on Jeju Island, taking many prisoners and exchanging money for the Portuguese.

By the time they set off in late spring, the three Portuguese migrant ships had brought in nearly 1,500 "migrants", either voluntary or involuntary. Of course, after a brutal and long ocean voyage, only 900 people made it to the east coast alive, with a mortality rate of 40 percent. Of the 900 people, Ming immigrants accounted for the majority, about 750, and about 100 Korean refugees and 50 Japanese immigrants from Kyushu remained. Their arrival also brought the total population of the East Coast Republic of China to 10,000 for the first time in history, reaching a record high of 10,759.

A considerable number of these Ming immigrants were weavers from Wusong, who were intercepted by Tao Chenxi, director of the General Administration of Textile Industry, and then directly pulled to Ping'anbao New Town, where they began to learn to spin and weave with hydraulic looms under the guidance of old employees. They themselves are weavers and have a certain amount of work experience, so they naturally get twice the result with half the effort, which makes Tao Chenxi quite happy, and he said that he didn't buy the wrong person.

While the work of the Ping An Machinery Weaving Factory was progressing in an orderly and steady manner, another ambitious plan, the Ping An Iron and Steel Plant, began infrastructure construction on the edge of a lush forest on the north bank of the Ping An River and the east bank of the Yakuyi River. Hundreds of recruited Guarani and more than 300 new immigrants worked their first steps as steelworks to build iron ore cargo terminals, factory buildings, iron-making blast furnaces and steel-making open-hearth furnaces.

At the same time, more than 300 new migrants were transported by boat to the Ping'an coal mining area, where they will build a honeycomb coal plant and a building materials plant (one wheel kiln, one cement kiln, one lime kiln). The few remaining immigrants were assigned to Zhenhai Fort, most of them were shipbuilders with experience in shipbuilding, and were directly assigned to Zhenhai Shipyard. Although most of the Chinese hard sailing boats they usually build are outdated in performance, the foundation is still there, and they can still come in handy after studying at Zhenhai Shipyard for a period of time.

Of course, steel mills and shipyards are all for the future, but at present, the top priority in the entire East Coast Republic of China is the commissioning and production progress of Ping An Machine Weaving Factory. Under extremely heavy financial pressure, the Executive Committee, the Government Council, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Trade, and the Ministry of Finance sent people to inspect and inquire in three days, which made Qian Hao, the chief official of Ping'anbao, and Tao Chenxi, director of the General Bureau of Textile Industry, who has moved their offices to Ping'anbao New Town, both of them have big heads.

To be honest, the two of them have really done their best for the official operation of Ping An Machine Weaving Factory. Whether it is the construction of the plant, the recruitment and training of workers, or the transportation and installation of equipment, they provide the best conditions to ensure that the production schedule of the machine weaving factory is not delayed.

The first batch of 1,000 pieces of cotton cloth produced by 20 machines has been sold to the La Plata region and the customer response has been positive. There is no significant gap between the quality and the previous cotton cloth, at present, this part of the staff has been in place, the equipment has been operating normally, one by one cotton cloth is produced, and then sent to the warehouse for storage, for next year's market in Gascogne, France to prepare sufficient supply. The second batch of 20 machines has been installed and debugged in the past few days, and the new workers are practicing and trial production, striving to run in to the best state as soon as possible and produce qualified goods.

According to the plan of the General Administration of Textile Industry, the third and fourth batches of 40 machines will arrive in November and be installed and commissioned, and the last batch of machines will be installed and debugged in mid-December at the latest. To this end, the craftsmen of the comprehensive workshop of the Dayuhe Arsenal in the Oriental Port began to work 24 hours a day, working overtime to produce textile machine parts, and then packing them and transporting them to Ping'an Fort before assembling them into finished machines.

It is expected that by the end of December, all the equipment and workers will be in place, and then they will be producing cotton cloth at full capacity. The French would probably have sent ships to pick up the first shipment at the end of March or early April, and by then the Ping An Machine Weaving Factory would have stockpiled more than 20,000 pieces of cotton cloth for the first sale.
