Chapter Twenty-Seven: Unfortunately, there are no foreign enemies

Governor Gnawing Dog came to his senses, he really understood the management that Zhang Island Lord needed------ as long as he opened up the fundamentals of industry, agriculture and urban construction, and had a certain foundation, and then managed social security well, maintained the basic law-abiding, honest and fair, and he didn't have to worry about the rest of the things.

People don't have to worry about him going or staying at all, they will choose with their own feet!

If this is a place where there is no hope for development, people can only be retained unless guns and barbed wire are used------

There is no external threat here, and it can't scare others------ Squadron Leader Dai Weiming said that for decades, there is no need to think about external enemies here.

When he said this, he seemed to be a little disappointed, and he hoped that there would be a foreign enemy, and then he would be able to take a large number of prisoners.

Because of the heavy workload, some team members also had to participate in manual labor, which made him extremely dissatisfied.

They can support workers and farmers when they train, and now they still have to do it, and they will lose the majesty of soldiers!

Squadron Leader Davimin is still patrolling the coast of Australia, but unfortunately there are no more natives along the coast that he needs to save.

He had mapped the locations of more than a thousand islands throughout the region, and decided to take advantage of the winter season to visit that New Zealand island.

However, the Governor of the Gnawing Dog categorically disagreed!

It is true that the reclamation work throughout the winter does not need to be managed by his squadron leader, but the security of thirty or forty thousand people must not be taken lightly, and besides, the island master Zhang said that the Maori there are much more ferocious than the indigenous people in Australia, and the two are not at the same level at all!

Squadron Leader Davimin smiled and said:

"I've read that information too, and you think, if they're outstanding, that's really good labor! Look at the Tatars in our coal mines, the mining level is better than that of the natives and the Great Song Dynasty laborers! ”

This is a fact, the governor of the gnawing dog found an open-pit coal mine near Baisi City, which was the high-quality bituminous coal specially marked by the owner of Zhang Island, which was said to be better than the bituminous coal in Shandong and more suitable for coking.

The Tatars became the main force in digging coal, the Song co-laborers were responsible for coking, and the indigenous men were responsible for the simple work of washing coal.

This is still a selected person, who has a certain ability to understand, and the work efficiency is still slow.

Bringing back a shipload of 1,000 tons of coke can be worth more than coal------ but human resources limit their big development plans.

Those adventurers who came to pan for gold would not be willing to engage in the great cause of mining, and those people had long been carrying tents and tools, carrying dry food and salted fish and salted meat, and running far away to find their own gold mountains.

Almost overnight, Beth City seemed to be back to its original state, except that there were more little ladies------- who always came out and walked wrizzling down the street, and the Governor of the Dog looked upset, but he couldn't get rid of them.

There are no more fees and taxes to pay.

Squadron Leader Dai Weiming said: "Governor Wu, don't worry, I will definitely not bring firearms with me this time, and the personnel are all selected from the labor prisoners, so let them all bring cold weapons."

There are no beasts of prey on that New Zealand island, and there are no iron weapons, and it is a waste to bring firearms! ”

The Governor of the Gnawing Dog disagreed, what do you think, you have to fight with them for a spear, if we hurt one person, we will die at a loss!

In the end, the Doggnawing Governor had to take a step back.

He said that the owner of Zhang Island had given him two candidates, one of whom was named Zhang Hongfan, who was said to have been a member of the Tatar bandit group and a general, who could write and martial arts, understand city construction, and plant, and had certain leadership skills.

Why don't you train him to lead the team?

The other one mentioned by Zhang Daozhu, named Guo Shoujing, seems to have asked him to be in charge of farmland and water conservancy construction, and he can also teach part-time, and he is a qualified intellectual.

There is indeed a need for talents here, after all, agriculture still needs to be developed.

Squadron Leader Dai Weiming thought about it, this is okay, from the previous experience, it is not necessary to mobilize the team members to capture the natives, and the labor prisoners can deal with it.

Subsequently, Squadron Leader Davimin began to arrange this winter operation.

The Governor of the Dog Gnawing Dog wrote a copy of his experience to the owner of Zhang Island, and asked the returning mail ship to bring it back.

The stamps sold by the Australian Post Office are really not cheap, and it costs 100 yuan to send a letter!

The other ships that returned took some of the supplies produced here.

There were plenty of kangaroo skins and hardwoods and some struvite stones, as well as all the freshly produced coke and coal------ which were nowhere near as much as they had brought in supplies, but better than nothing.

He knew that the owner of Zhang Island did not focus on the output of gold and silver at all, but cared more about the output of various living and production materials, and at the moment he could only try to transport it back.

Yes, he knows, these are the real riches.

The Governor of Gnawing Dog knew how much wealth the owner of Zhang Island had paid to develop this place, and he had great hopes, and he was absolutely confident that he could double the compensation and go back------- the conditions here were much better than those in Shandong.

He no longer cared about how to keep the workforce, but began to design his own development plan.

All he had to do was expand the fundamentals of industry, agriculture, fisheries, and forestry to make it a safe place of hope and dreams, and that was the key.

Previously, Zhang Hongfan and Guo Shoujing were hurriedly taken to Badaohe City, but before they had time to observe the huge port in detail, they were caught on the sea ship, and heard that they were going to the west of Australia!

When they heard that they would have to travel all the way south at sea for more than a month------ they were very frustrated.

Maybe they won't be able to go back to their hometown in this life, what do they want to hate, but they can't hate, who makes them not the opponents of the Liuqiu army?!

Or is it that the owner of Liuqiu Island is also destined to return?

This thought flashed in Zhang Hongfan's mind and passed, how can a businessman have a destiny?!

The people who traveled with them were all happy, and they talked about gold and silver every day, and they did not think so------ if there really was such a place overseas, it would have been recorded in ancient books, but they had never seen it, so it must be a rumor.

The living conditions on the ship were good, they could often go up to the deck to let off steam------ in June and July, they saw that the sun could run in the north, and their shadow was facing south!

Guo Shoujing sighed and said: "The "Liuqiu Times" once said that the earth is on the earth, the earth is round------ when we are in the north, our shadow is facing north, and when we are in the south, our shadow is facing south, and it is true!" ”

Zhang Hongfan didn't care about these at all, but he still asked casually: "Is the earth round?" Aren't we going to fall? ”

"No, it won't! It was said in "Elementary School Physics" that we are all attached to the earth by gravity------ which is really a divine book. ”

Zhang Hongfan sighed and didn't ask anymore, he didn't want any divine books now, he just wanted a divine boat to help him return to his hometown!

Guo Shoujing became interested, he even asked the sailor for advice on the use of the sextant, and his attitude was extremely respectful------ people told him a few words, and let him try it himself.

Zhang Hongfan could only shake his head when he saw it, this is already the case, this guy still has the leisure to care about the useless thing.
