Hai Shuzu will not go to Jincheng with Shou Xuan this time,. x Due to the successful expansion in the past two years, the property of the middle and upper classes in Jincheng, including Shou Order, is in a state of explosive growth, but it is impossible for Shou Yu to take out as much silver as Hai Shuzu at once. Shou Xiang calculated it, a few thousand taels should still be able to come out, according to Hai Shuzu's meaning, he and Shou Xiang combined, in the company's equity must get more than 35% of the proportion, although it cannot reach absolute control, but at least can have the right of veto. Shou Xiang has a house, land and bonds in Jincheng, and he doesn't know how much these things are worth now, and he has to go to Nanyang Bank to ask when he returns to China.

Sanya Iron Ore Company will be a completely private company, and all assets including forts, garrisons, forts, military ports, and mining areas will belong to the company. Shou Xuan and Hai Shuzu discussed it together for three days, and the final result made him sigh. In addition to not having the right to declare war and peace, the Sanya Iron Ore Company was basically a copy of the articles of association of the Dutch and British East India Companies. Hai Shuzu learned a lot from Yangyi.

However, the form is not important to the order, as long as he can obtain the high-quality iron ore of Tian Du, he does not care about the name. After the negotiation was settled, Shou Xu initialed an agreement with Haishuzu.

The first phase of the Sanya Iron Mine and Port Project includes two round forts at the mouth of the Duhe River in Kong, a wharf at the Yulin Military Port, warehouses, iron-making blast furnaces, and roads connecting the port and the mining area.

Since the occupation of Taiwan, the volcanic ash of the Philippines is not necessarily needed to keep order, and Taipei can also provide it. If you can get 160,000 taels of silver in the end, the investment in the first phase of infrastructure is sufficient. The trouble is the issue of manpower and the food that feeds it.

Sanya will undoubtedly be a malaria-heavy area, pristine, low altitude, hot and humid, where fresh water and sea meet, which is a paradise for malaria parasites. Before the availability of reliable anti-malarial drugs and DDT, Sanya was simply off-limits to human activities. In the 50s just after the liberation of China, according to the relevant records of the Guangzhou Military Region, the most important logistical and health work in Sanya was the prevention and treatment of malaria and dysentery, and the incidence of malaria in Unit 0147 stationed in Hainan reached 28% in 1956. This is still the result of the presence of some modern drugs and equipment, and if it were not for the lack of choice, the order would not have tried to develop Tian Du.

Malaria goes with people, and now the malaria-stricken areas of the Americas, when Europeans first established their colonies, praised it as a paradise. This is because the mosquito does not have a large radius of activity, and it is humans who bring the malaria parasite into the newly established colony, and then spread the infection and become a severely infected area. In the experience of the Americas, this process takes years.

There are almost no people in Sanya now, and there will be no obvious malaria for the time being. Compared with the Americas, the spread of malaria in Sanya takes two to three years, even if it is shorter. Therefore, the speed of the first phase of the project is the most important for the order. It is important to lay a solid foundation for follow-up work before malaria spreads on a large scale.

If you want to produce results quickly, you need to invest enough manpower and animal power for the first time. It is impossible to raise horses in Sanya, and the only livestock that can be counted on in order is cattle. Fortunately, there is no shortage of cattle in Southeast Asia, where cattle are very cheap, and the trouble is more in terms of transportation. At the beginning of the founding of Jincheng, there was not enough cattle in stock, so I am afraid that I could only go to neighboring countries to find a way.

What happens when malaria spreads after two or three years? It has been two years since the cinchona tree was planted, and the first batch of medicinal herbs should be ready for use by then. Light medicine is not enough, after the construction period is completed and the iron mine is put into operation, some special arrangements may be needed. With mild thalassemia, Tamiflu-negative, and ovoid cell disease, Sanya will have to rely more on congenital antimalarial people who have been screened by Plasmodium. Because of the high level of resistance to malaria, the reintroduction of black slaves would be inevitable. The Ming government had always been wary of the presence of blacks along the coast of China, and they were always concerned about the slavery of the Portuguese in Macau. If in normal times, it is almost impossible for Shou Xuan to put black slaves into production on a large scale in Sanya, it will even attract the attention of the emperor. However, after two or three years, the Ming Dynasty should no longer be able to manage a barren mountain in the ends of the earth.

The cash was barely sufficient, and if he wanted to achieve the ideal situation of order, he had to keep the labor cost to a minimum. The Chinese are not suitable, the wages are too high. Therefore, the first problem for order is to obtain sufficiently cheap manpower and animal power.

A few years of war career has changed the order a lot, and the trip to North China brought him a greater spiritual impact by the displaced people. Whether it was a former landlord or a wealthy businessman, among the fleeing people, the wealth of the past was in the past. When he went out, he was still a rich man, but after a few hundred kilometers, he became a refugee who sold his sons and daughters and his wife.

It's a time of bastards.

The Orderly must admit that he needs slaves. Whether it was collaborating with the Dutch to intervene in the slave trade or plundering the population through war, Orderly had to do jobs that he had despised a few years earlier. It wasn't even a matter of choice, and he made a decision quickly.

The wedding date with Miss Haijia is scheduled for the second half of the year, and Hai Shuzu will come to Jincheng in person. Time is pressing, and the Sanya Iron Ore Company will complete the formation work before then, and Hai Shuzu will use this time to get the power of the Sanya Inspection Division and complete the Ming Dynasty part of the plan. The orderly needs to complete the fundraising and loan work in Jincheng, and obtain sufficient development manpower.

The spring breeze has risen, and the southerly season is coming.

Shou ordered to say goodbye to Haishuzu at the Bopu Inspection Division, and the Nanhai left Lingao and headed south along the coastline of Annam and Quang Nam. Make a short stop at the mouth of the Mekong River.

The Mekong River is also a vast drainage system downstream. In the vicinity of Dong Sari Lake, the Mekong River is divided into the Qianjiang and Houjiang rivers, which in turn divide into three main estuaries from north to south: the Meidi River, the Xianlong River, and the Guyu River. The Mekong River is the largest river in Southeast Asia, and the rolling sediment has created the most fertile land, and the plants that have grown for thousands of years have formed a thick layer of peat, which is one of the best natural fertilizers.

Today, it is still densely covered with swamps and woods, and barren forests coexist with tigers and leopards. The indigenous people of the lower Mekong River are Khmer people, and their agricultural production technology is extremely backward and the population is very small.

If there is no order, this land will be colonized by the army of 3,000 ministers belonging to Zheng Keshuang in the future. The Zheng family surrendered in Taiwan, but some of his soldiers in Guangdong were reluctant to bow down to the Tartars, and the last Ming army made an agreement with the Quang Nam Nguyen lords, one of the most powerful countries in Southeast Asia. Lord Nguyen gave the Mekong River area that was not controlled at that time to these Chinese people, Yang Yandi led the army to open up the United States, and Chen Shangchuan led the army to open up the right bank of the Saigon River. The strength of the 3,000 Zheng army had an overwhelming advantage over the Khmers. The Chinese, unwilling to submit to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, fled to the United States and another Chinese state in the Mekong region, Mo's Hexian Kingdom.

In less than 20 years, the Chinese transformed the Mekong estuary from a wild land into one of the richest provinces in Quang Nam. Chen Shangchuan later led the army to expand westward and beat the Zhenla Kingdom. Most of the generals of the Ming army also became hereditary nobles in Vietnam.

Because there was no direct border with the Manchus, the Nguyen regime could hold high the banner of morality, and their attitude towards the Chinese, towards the exiled Ming army and Ming ministers, had always been good. This also brought them good fortune, the Nguyen Dynasty was later destroyed by the Tay Son, the Chinese in the Mekong region became their last support, and the Gia Dinh area at the mouth of the Mekong River also became the base for the Nguyen Clan's recovery. The White Lotus Sect, the Heaven and Earth Society, pirates, and various anti-Qing forces in China gathered under the banner of Lord Nguyen to help them restore the country and successfully unify Vietnam.

It was foreseeable that after the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, there would be a wave of Chinese migration to the South Seas that would continue for many years. Historically, this wave of migration has been purposeless and not well organized. Now, as long as Shou Xiang relies on Jincheng, builds several intermediate ports, ensures the safety of shipping routes, and plans the land for immigrants, he will be able to obtain more people than in history. In this case, the Chinese state at the mouth of the Mekong River may not die.

There is not much room for expansion in the north and south, with Siam in the north and the Sultan of Johor in the south. Johor is an ally of the Netherlands, and Jincheng does not yet have the strength to turn against the Netherlands. To accommodate this wave of Chinese immigrants, the lower Mekong is almost the only option for order.

This land of great potential is currently legally owned by Chenla, but Chenla does not actually have any cities worth mentioning in this area, and has no actual control over it.

The attack on Chenla was not difficult militarily. Chenla is now almost like a piece of cake, at the mercy of Siam and Quang Nam. Even the Spaniards tried to conquer Chenla, but of course there were too few of them, and although they came close to success, they were eventually thrown into the Mekong River by the villagers of Chenla to feed the fish.

The situation was similar to that of the Spaniards, the army was overwhelmingly superior to Chenla, and the problem he faced would be more diplomacy.

Quang Nam was trying its best to expand southward, and Champa was actually a vassal state of Quang Nam, and the Nguyen lord only retained the state of Champa for some political reasons. The Zhan people, a glorious nation that was once warlike in history, is not far from extinction.

Quang Nam had just signed a treaty with Chenla and obtained the right to trade near the Saigon River. The Saigon and Vung Tau areas have been regarded as Quang Nam's pockets, and there is not much room for orderly intervention, and the Tieen Giang area is also a long-term target for Quang Nam.

Shou Xuan wants to get Houjiang.

If you take Taipei as the starting point, Sanya is just at the midpoint of the Jintai route. Get Shangxiachuan Island between Taiwan and Hainan, and get Houjiang between Hainan and Jincheng. Keeping the order will allow you to build a skeleton of a bastion line along the coast, and then step by step, fill in some secondary ports and merchants. In the end, just as the Portuguese controlled the Indian Ocean in the past, they could completely control China's Western shipping routes, and then control the sugar in the Pearl River Estuary and Leizhou, and obtain huge economic benefits and population replenishment.

This is the core strategy of the orderly planning for Jincheng,
