Chapter 141: The Newcomer and the New Town
That's when the problem comes in.
Qin Cang's ruling center was in Chijing, which was in the eastern part of the Crimean peninsula, and it was most convenient to cover the Sea of Kiazov. But what if it's on the western side of the Black Sea?
Along the Dnieper River to the north, there are now three colonies, which are Shuangbi County, Changjinwei County, and Jincheng County. But none of them are in the estuary area. The only Hazhongwei at the mouth of the river is not to mention that the Hezhongwei is also in the middle of the lower reaches of the Nambug River, not in the outright estuary.
"We need to build a port for dispatch at the mouth of the Dnieper."
To the southwest of Shuangbi County, it is not farmland, but a large desert, which should be described as a desert. This part of the south bank of the Dnieper River is such a desert-like place that makes people speechless. So it is also a matter of course to separate the mouth of the Dnieper River from Shuangbi County.
There is also a long bay at the mouth of the Dnieper. This is because the land on the south shore juts out to the west and makes the bay very long. And at the very end, an arc is drawn to the north, as if to protect the bay.
And on the opposite bank to the north of the bay, to the southwest of Hezhongwei, is the city of Ochakov, which is a descendant of the future, and the maritime trade is developed.
"Right here!"
Qin Cang pointed here and said, "We need a place where we regularly send boats to connect the river. When the population is insufficient and commerce is not developed, we can only do this. It was here that we set up the port of Kawazu. ”
This sentence almost laid the foundation for the main political events of January.
And it should be noted that this is the first time that the entire country has opened up new cities without relying on exchange.
After mobilizing 1,000 Greeks from Pingnan Province and 500 Han Chinese from Chizhou, this group of immigrants came to the port of Hajin along the sea.
The river guards brought their prepared food, and the nearby Tatar tribes celebrated the appearance of another city, and their lives would be taken to the next level.
There were 500 Greeks and 500 Han Chinese in the north, and 500 Greeks in the south, and the two-port model facing the sea reappeared.
With the help of the Tatars, Ukrainian wood was cut to make camps and ports, and February slowly came.
There is a street in Chijing, near the harbor area, called Funatou Street. It was the main gathering place for wealthy people in Chikyo. Agencies including agencies, intermediaries and government tenders and certification bodies are all here.
Huang Tianlong led the certificate that had just been issued and prepared to board the ship and head west. He spent money on investing in the Muzhiyev gold and silver mine, which is now called the place of gold and silver guards. So the reclamation circle he claimed was also very large. There are 5,000 acres. There were five hundred of the broken men who belonged to him.
Out of Chuantou Street, Huang Tianlong wiped the sweat on his head and went to Xishan Ranch.
The West Hill Ranch is now basically only responsible for the duties of the wool warehouse, and the specific grazing matters have been transferred to Hanmo Province. And continuing to call it Xishan Ranch is the official meaning, because you can't always open your mouth and close your mouth 'Xishan Military Camp', 'Xishan Camp', 'Xishan Fortress' or anything. Not low-key enough~.
Most of the people who belonged to the lords were here. Their strong men were trained to line up to set up their muskets, and they were trained to attack in a spear line. If you have your own horse, you will also be trained how to ride it offensively.
Huang Tianlong learned sword and shield skills here for two months. The reason, of course, is self-defense. He's the master of the tun, so don't rush to the front line in the end.
Today was the last day, and Huang Tianlong and more than 200 people who had already met him had their last meal in a restaurant in Chijing.
Early the next morning, Huang Tianlong came to the port.
"Number One!"
"Four!"
........
It was the officials looking for the master.
All owners are required to sign an equity agreement. Forty percent of each tun belongs to the tun people, 50 percent to the tun owner, and 10 percent to the government.
The government distributed muskets, swords, ploughs, hoes and other tools, and the tun owners had to prepare their own cattle and horses. At the same time, the government will also provide a Laojun temple in each tun to provide faith and support for medical care. In the case of tuners, they are responsible for cultivating the fields and responding to call-ups. The main task of this part is currently to build roads.
After making sure that everyone had signed the agreement, everyone got on board en masse.
This vessel is a new creation of the shipyard. It is a large soft-sail cargo ship with a deadweight of 50 tons. This success is also supported by the strong resources of good wood near the Black Sea.
Everyone who charters a boat needs to hand over 30% of the profits, and very few people buy a boat. Few people can afford such a large expense.
The 16 search ships set off with 16 teams of cantonment, and along the way they made supplies in Suzhou and Sezhou, and then stopped at Xisai Port to buy replacement goods. Then there is the newly established port of Kawazu.
There are now five pontoon bridges in Hejin Port, and there are no more than 16 search boats, so everyone is anchoring not far from the coast.
After taking turns to go ashore in small boats, the fleet continued to the northeast.
Shuangbi County is in sight.
Several ships were deliberately loaded with 30,000 refractory bricks. This is for Jincheng County. The excavation of the Kafbas iron mine was imminent, and Chen Zixuan decided to divert part of the population to the Kafbas iron mine and form the Iron Mountain Guard. This is for them to make iron and steel.
After Shuangbi County, it is Changjinwei.
Standing on the side of the ship, people watched in amazement as a large island in the distance stopped in the middle of the sea. This is the Horticha Island of Nagatsuwei, which is now called Nagatsu Island.
There is nothing to see about Changjinwei. Both on the island and on the shore are farmland, and the black soil, which is widely distributed, is the strongest economic driving force.
After Changjinwei, we went further to a river bay. Here the Dnieper River begins to move south. To the northwest of Hewan is Jincheng County.
Jincheng County is indeed the colony with the most support at present. Not to mention anything else, bricks and cement are transported in large quantities. A small port was built on the wharf by the river.
The fleet docked, and sixteen reclamation teams, six were on the west bank and ten on the east bank. Of course, most of this is in-house.
Huang Tianlong followed the crowd ashore, and the fleet left.
Under the service of Chen Zixuan's father and mother, they finally went to the reclamation sites they had prepared.
"Damn, how did the country call this group of uncles." Chen Zixuan wiped his forehead and burst into a foul mouth.
When the fleet went south to Shuangbi County, the fourth kiln ceramics were finally baked.
About sixty percent of the porcelain became white porcelain of exquisite style, and forty percent of the porcelain was of course defective. However, the embryos are all intact, indicating that the memory of the person who made the porcelain embryo has been guaranteed enough.
Armed with refractory bricks and china clay, the fleet headed south, passed through the port of Hejin, and returned to Chijing.
