In the blink of an eye, by the end of April, the fleet that had transferred the garrisons of the Xingzhou and Ryukyu Prefectures to reinforce the Taiwan Governor's Mansion had already set sail for half a month, and this would have reached Ryukyu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The weather in eastern Liaodong is also warmer, and the river is not cold and biting. The Dongzhu Commercial Bank, which had been waiting for half a year, was impatient to organize ships and run to the Yalu River, Sumo Water and other rivers in eastern Liaodong that were rich in Dongzhu, and even sent 20 ships and 200 people to the Ussuri River and Heishui, which had not been captured for a long time.

Last year, the Dongzhu was transported back to the Central Plains, which made the Dongzhu Commercial Bank make a lot of money, and the managers in the commercial bank got a lot of commissions. This year, the addition of two rivers that can be mined from the East Pearl River and the Black Water, which had not been collected on a large scale before, made the stewards of the trading houses extremely excited, and they were counting this year's good harvest before they were mined.

Dongzhu defeated a small Nanzhu in one fell swoop with its roundness, fullness, and luster, which caused a lot of repercussions in the prosperous states and counties of the Central Plains. Naturally, it also attracted many people who dreamed of making a fortune to come to Andong thousands of miles away, just to go to the river to pick Shangcheng Dongzhu and sell it to dignitaries and dignitaries to make a fortune.

Anton's Dongzhu collection was monopolized by the Dongzhu Commercial Bank established by Li Yu, so as to seek huge profits to help military funds, how could the people tolerate private mining? Naturally, it was strictly forbidden, and the Tojo Trading House sent people to inspect the rivers rich in Tozhu, and when they found that the smugglers were immediately arrested and handed over to the government, the prisoners who were escorted to Andong with the Central Plains were sent to Hokkaido for cultivation.

The second colony fleet to Hokkaido departed earlier than originally planned for the fall of this year, with a total of five ships. Due to the need to transport a large amount of grain, agricultural tools and other materials for the development of Hokkaido, only more than 800 prisoners and 100 sergeants were carried, led by Wang Hu.

The five ships are all medium-sized seagoing vessels with a displacement of 500 tons built by the Liaodong Shipyard. It is the result of several years of hard work by craftsmen who have applied a variety of advanced shipbuilding technologies such as tenon and tenon nails, watertight compartments and putty twists, shipside wave plates, stern rudders, and long oars. And improved the sail technology, can come from all directions, in Li Yu proposed the soft sail technology is not yet mature, part of the use as the main sail hard sail auxiliary, so different from the existing sea ships of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yu named it the mixed yuan ship.

In addition, Jiaolong Hainan Airlines, which is responsible for the transportation of migrants, has successively reported on the completion of various aspects of the transportation of migrants in April.

First, starting from the second half of last year, the maritime transportation task of the relocation of the families of the Xuanwu Guard and the Chaos Guard, which was organized by the major commercial houses under the Yanwang Mansion, was completed in early April. Except for a few elderly people who did not want to leave their homeland, most of the soldiers' families arrived at the intended resettlement site under the arrangement of the Metropolitan Protectorate. Among them, the families of the Chaos Guards were adjusted from the original Xingzhou and Ryukyu resettlement places to all of them in the Taiwan Governor's Office.

Second, at the beginning of the year, two emigrant fleets from Chang'an and Luoyang successfully arrived in Taiwan, and after Li Yu's temporary adjustment, 2,000 people from each of the two fleets who joined the Andong Pioneer Group due to poverty and emigrated overseas were moved to Xingzhou and Ryukyu Prefectures, as the strength of the Tang Dynasty to stabilize local rule and assimilate the natives. Of course, as soon as the young men landed on the shore, they would be recruited by the governors of the two places as registered unity soldiers, issued with horizontal knives, trained for ten years in advance, and then sent back to the resettlement sites, and then trained intensively when the farms were slack. This is also one of the measures that Li Yu strictly requires the governors to do to the immigrants who move in, so as to prevent the local aborigines from rebelling and plotting to kill the Chinese. The second is to strictly prohibit the people who moved in to drink raw water and eat raw food (the Tang Dynasty was the peak period of eating sashimi in the Chinese dynasties, so it had to be prevented, and the Japanese in later generations ate sashimi or copied the Chinese customs of the Tang Dynasty), so as to prevent the soil from being adapted to cause epidemics.

By the way, Jiaolong Hainan Airlines also sent a bill for reimbursement, which made Li Yu happy and melancholy.

It was a bill of more than 300,000 yuan for Jiaolong HNA to purchase 100 large and medium-sized sea-going ships from the shipyards of various prefectures and counties in Jiangnan Province and Huainan Province. In addition, the trading houses are responsible for recruiting 5,000 shipwrights, which need to be announced.

Li Yu took out the seal of King Yan in distress, stamped the bill, and handed it over to Li Shu, the head of the palace, to allocate money from the treasury of the palace to Jiaolong HNA.

On this occasion alone, there was a quarter less money in the treasury that had just been accumulated.

"This year, the second phase of the Liaodong Shipyard project will be carried out, so that it can build 100 ships a year. Previously, craftsmen were dispatched with the reinforcement fleet to the Taiwan Governor's Mansion to carry out the construction of a freshwater shipyard. There are also plans to build three metropolitan offices in Nanyang in May......"

Li Yu thought about the plans he had made for this year before, and he couldn't help frowning. After four years of operation, high-profit commodities such as perfumes, soaps, and liquor have been operating slowly, and the operating interest rates are no longer as explosive as when they first appeared. The commercial banks are in a situation of opening up new markets, which requires a certain amount of costs, and they cannot expect to have a large amount of capital in a short period of time.

"It seems that the only way to put the idea is on the glass mirror that has just been developed and has not yet been officially launched."

Li Yu, who had made up his mind, searched his stomach and wrote a glass mirror sales plan, and after reviewing it, he sent someone to pass it to Cui Xuan and asked him to start arranging.

At this time, Li Yuan played for Anton's spring ploughing, and showed that many problems were exposed in the current prefectures and counties of the Metropolitan Protectorate when carrying out spring ploughing, and more than a dozen unjudicial officials were greedy for grain, agricultural tools and other materials issued by the Metropolitan Protectorate.

The annual spring ploughing is of great significance for the stability of Anton and the reduction of financial expenditure.

After Li Yu learned about the case, he sent several guards to arrest these short-sighted officials, and issued a document to warn the officials of various states and counties to be officials, urging them to encourage the people to open up the wasteland and sow seeds at this important moment of spring ploughing, and if there are any difficulties, they need to be reported to the Metropolitan Protectorate, and a reasonable Metropolitan Protectorate will solve them.

In particular, the first round of cultivation of the two prefectures of Meituo Lake and Heishui was more valued by Li Yu.

The two prefectures are part of the Sanjiang Plain, one of the three major black soil regions in the world, with a large area of fertile black soil. Although the latitude here is higher, the average annual temperature is only 1 °C-4 °C, but the summer is warm, the average temperature of the hottest month is above 22 °C, the rain and heat are in the same season, suitable for agriculture (especially high-quality rice and high-oil soybeans) growth, is the later Z country of the North cang, high-quality commercial grain base.

All kinds of farm tools needed by the people for cultivation were distributed to households by the local government, and Li Yu also prepared the grain needed for cultivation and gave them to the people for free. In addition to wheat, there are also oats, barley, rye, millet and soybean seeds that are suitable for cultivation in high latitudes and are cold and drought tolerant. Therefore, the land is still suitable for the growth of high-quality rice, so the special messenger found high-yield rice seeds from the south, and moved 500 rice growers to scatter and settle in the two governors' mansions, and the allocated land is also high-quality soil near the river.

Li Yu has high hopes for the governors of the two capitals, hoping that in the next few years, the thousands of miles of fertile fields along the Ussuri River in the north to the city of Boli in Heishui will be built into a rich grain-producing area in the Hexi Corridor, so as to provide a steady stream of grain for the future expansion to the inland of the northeast.
