Chapter 386: Intelligence Gathering
The ministers figured it out, and no one questioned it, "Huaxia Daqian Village" can exist in Daming generously!
Although Emperor Chongzhen was very poor, the Koreans paid tribute worth more than 100,000 taels, and they could not lose the face of the Heavenly Empire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Originally, Huang Sheng's operation of Xinhaijun had legitimacy in North Korea, and after the Ming Dynasty recognized and gave the correct name, it was a double insurance, and it was inevitable that the site of "Huaxia Island" would become an overseas base name.
Huang Sheng, who was thousands of miles away, was very busy, and the Huang family already had more than 1,200 large and small sea ships, and there were more than 30,000 sailors and gunners alone.
No matter what type of ship is shuttling between several islands of Huangjiawan, Huangjiawan Island has dozens of seagoing ships arriving and leaving the port every hour, fortunately, Huangjiawan Island has many natural harbors with ease.
There are two ready-made docks on Jeju Island, and the craftsmen and materials and equipment are completely received, and the Huang family also caught more than 1,000 Korean shipbuilders on Ganghwa Island, four adults stayed on "Huaxia Island" to work, three adults went to Daisan Island dock, and three adults came to work on Huangjiawan Island.
The construction of the ready-made dock for the Koreans before the "Huaxia Island" began in early November, and the Korean craftsmen worked under the leadership of the master master of the Huang family, who would always remain a foreign ethnic minority, whether in the territory or in any factory.
Huang Sheng knew the development trend and was unwilling to let the Han people become a minority in a certain area, and using such methods to consolidate the territory and eliminate ethnic contradictions was the fundamental way to solve the national problem.
Because the Han people have accepted the influence of Confucianism, there is no concept of bullying people at all, and making the Han people the absolute majority also avoids the possibility of being bullied by a small number of foreign races.
Except for Scorpion Island and Huangjiawan Island, which were producing warships, all the other docks produced ships and cargo ships, and there were too many materials, and the largest dock in North Korea was looted, and all the belongings there were transported to "Huaxia Island".
Dongjiang Town is not idle in the summer, taking advantage of the good opportunity to control the banks of the Yalu River, too many wooden rafts were transported down the river to Huangjiawan Island for food.
Zhao Shimin was already considering completing the construction of three 'battleships' and relocating all the warship manufacturing docks on Huangjiawan Island to "Huaxia Island."
Because the military and civilians on Huangjiawan Island are increasing, the territory is obviously stretched, and he will relocate the shipyard to give up a large amount of land for civilian use.
The place is more than 200 times the size of Huangjiawan Island, and the "Huaxia Island" has a coastline of 400 miles, and there are too many natural deep-water ports that can develop shipyards.
There is also a superiority that Huangjiawan Island cannot match, there is no harsh winter, so there is no possibility of freezing on the sea, saving the workload of breaking the ice continuously in the cold winter.
Zhao Shimin has personally visited the "Huaxia Island" and selected a natural deep-water port to build a large shipyard that should be the largest in Asia, and there will be more than 10,000 people working there.
The "Huaxia Island" is safe and sound, the Korean naval division has been beaten to pieces by the Huang and Li families, their army has been beaten all over the ground by Jiannu, and they have lost many excellent shipbuilders, and it is estimated that they will not be able to regain their combat strength in more than five years.
In five years, there should be 70,000 or 80,000 households on Jeju Island, more than 300,000 Han people will live on Jeju Island, the villagers will not be less than 50,000, the port will be built with a fortress and a regular army will be stationed for a long time, and the whole country of small Korea will not be an opponent.
Moreover, the Huang family found that the Korean sailors had signs of reconstruction, and they could go on to capture their warships and receive their docks.
This year, the dust has settled, and it should be rewarded for meritorious deeds, all the soldiers of the Huang family have received six months of double salary, too many soldiers have been rewarded for military merits, and most craftsmen have received bonuses of more than two months' wages.
Everyone was very curious when the silver arrived, and they were a little reluctant to spend the silver coins, because these shiny silver coins were so beautiful.
Of course, this is the product of the Huangjiawan Island Mint, gold coins, silver dollars, copper plates are all animal power, hydraulic mechanized large production of industrial products, natural quality and standard unity, these coins also have a well-known name "Huaxia Tongbao".
The people of the Huang family trusted the head of the family, and no one asked for the silver, and everyone was happy to use the new currency, "Huaxia Tongbao", because all the shops on Huangjiawan Island were told that they had to accept the new currency.
The Huangjiawan Island branch of Gu Ling'er's "Huaxia Big Money Village" prepared a lot of cash silver, and left a lot of staff who were ready to deal with the exchange.
After several years of accumulation, the Huang family's gold reserves have been 400,000 taels, and the issuance of currency has been a matter of course.
Basket Caier ended the tour of Nanzhili and wanted to take the crew back to Huangjiawan Island for the New Year, and on the seventh day of the lunar month, Huang Sheng sent five grass skimming ships and five No. 2 Fu ship merchant ships came to Wangjiangmen Wharf.
Yi Facai, who was on business in Nanjing, visited many good craftsmen, and they dragged their families to take a sea boat to prepare to serve the Huang family.
The fleet returned to Huangjiawan Island on the 18th of the lunar month. Due to the publicity in place in all aspects, Cai'er led the team to tour in Nanzhili for 150 performances and applauded, the venue was full, and the box office income reached 600,000 taels, and she earned more than 200,000 taels of silver by throwing away input costs and various expenses.
The Huang family owns a "Qinhuai River Grand Theater", a "Huaxia Daqian Village" Nanjing Branch, an entertainment club and dozens of shops by the Qinhuai River.
Lan Caier is not satisfied with such a result, she is preparing to rehearse a new play, and the creation of the script is nearing the end, and Bian Zhiming, Shang Muming, and He Xiang have all participated in the creation.
The background of the times is still the years when Jiannu was raging, and the protagonists are still the suffering common people of Liaodong, and the content is as usual to accuse Jiannu of atrocities and praise heroes.
Because of the name of the side, they saw the actual battle under the city of Jinzhou, the description of the plot is more vivid, there are a lot of martial arts scenes in it, and the scene of the Ming army killing a few Jiannu cattle should make the Ming audience happy.
Cai'er, who returned home, was elated and brought a lot of gifts to her mother and sisters.
Her "Xie Fuchun" cosmetics became popular in Nanzhili, and too many female relatives of official eunuchs gave each other pollen packaged in porcelain jars, hair oil and shampoo in glass bottles as fashionable.
"Xie Fuchun" has become the first brand of Daming cosmetics, the profit is too lucrative, the order volume has doubled, and the production plan has been arranged until the spring of the following year.
On the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month, Qian Meng, the person in charge of the safety and security of the new area of Wang Gongchang in Beijing, personally brought more than 3,000 displaced people to Huangjiawan Island.
Because he found that there were more and more displaced people, and the head of the family only asked them to find reliable homeless people to take in without an upper limit, he knew that the Huang family's territory was not large, and he was afraid that the Huang family would be unsustainable if he fancied a family, so he was ready to meet the head of the family to state the benefits.
When he came to Huangjiawan Island and met many of his former comrades-in-arms who had become officers, he found that he had done more than that. Today's Huang family has more than 100 times more territory than two years ago, and if you don't worry about building slaves and disturbing the western Liaoning corridor, you can just settle a million people there.
Huang Sheng met with Qian Meng and Yi Fa to increase their workload, not only to take in refugees and find good craftsmen, but also to secretly collect intelligence.
