Liu Duofu sat under the loudspeaker, listening to the announcer's report, and was worried from the bottom of his heart.

Because the Ming Dynasty intends to recover the municipalities and southern provinces, it will be built into the granary of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the immigrants from these two provinces mainly came from the coastal areas of the Qing Dynasty and the farmers and ethnic groups in Southeast Asia. They will grow grain and the land, and they are the best croppers.

In addition, Daming has planned to transfer a group of old Chinese immigrants and naturalized Australian natives from Northern Province, Linhai Province, and Mingjing City, so that they can work with new immigrants to jointly develop Guangfu City and Southern Province.

This vast wasteland will be built into a large granary of fertile fields.

As a result, Liu Duofu, the head of Baihe Village in Northern Province, actively responded to Daming's agricultural development policy. He came to the newly built Jinshan Town in the Southern Province and became the mayor of the town.

In later generations, Jinshan Town was the second largest city in Oceania and even Australia, Melbourne, a famous cultural and industrial center.

But now, it's just a town with a population of nearly 10,000 that has just been built for a year. On the opposite side of it is the island of Tasmania.

Just listen to the name, you know that there are many gold mines in Jinshan Town.

If it had been in the past, without the policy tilt of the Ming Dynasty, it would have been crowded with gold diggers who flocked here.

But after the outbreak of the Nanyang War, the Ming Dynasty announced that the gold mines would be nationalized. If you want to dig for gold, you can only become a hired worker in the Ming Dynasty and take a limited salary. Although there are bonuses and commissions to be obtained, it is too different from the previous situation of private mining and three-seven sharing.

It is for this reason that many gold diggers have changed careers under the arrangement of Daming.

In fact, before this, except for the gold mine, all other minerals in the Ming Dynasty have been nationalized and private mining is prohibited. Now taking back ownership of the gold mine is just a matter of course.

After all, after so many years of publicity, Daming has established a good reputation in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Europe and other places. Previously, gold was also used to attract immigrants. Now, the advanced management system, a good social atmosphere, and a free social environment have made many people yearn for Daming and spontaneously move to Daming.

Although Timor Province is far away from Jinshan Town, merchant ships from the South Seas must pass through Timor. Therefore, here in Jinshan Town, there are more than half of the merchant ships.

Most of the migrant ships and merchant ships from all over the world stopped at Melville Island in Mingjing City and were quarantined for observation.

The merchant ships in the Ming Dynasty were also strictly inspected when they docked in various port cities.

As a result, in a very short period of time, the trade and shipping of the Ming Dynasty has regressed significantly. Some factories also have a backlog of goods.

The economic situation has been seriously affected.

After listening to the radio, Liu Weiguo began today's inspection, first, to check the agricultural production of various migrant villages, and second, to implement the people's epidemic prevention measures.

The town of Jinshan is very small, with only one street. In less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Weiguo walked to the end of the street. By his side, he was followed by two entourage, responsible for recording the relevant situation.

At this moment, a policeman from Jinshan Town hurriedly ran over and said breathlessly: "Boat-ship-ship-ship has arrived!" ”。

When Liu Duofu heard this, he asked with a puzzled face: "What ship?" ”。

"Pseudo-disguise-disguised Dutch-Dutch ship." The policeman was hunched over, his knees propped up, and his chest and mouth rose and fell violently.

In an instant, Liu Duofu understood the meaning of his words.

An old farmer drove a ox cart past him, and his eyes lit up immediately. I couldn't help but 'borrow' it. With a scolding, he hurried to the dock in a cattle cart.

The police, the old farmer and the entourage who had not yet reacted were left behind, looking at each other.

Gollum, this ox cart is bumpy and can't be bumpy. He was in a hurry to leave, so he kept flicking his whip. As a result, the old wood-breaking cart fell apart with a few clangs under the extremely fast running.

So he simply rode on the back of the ox, hugged the ox's neck, and drove forward.

When they came to the dock, the people at the police station had already pulled up the separation line.

But the scalper had been driven mad by Liu Duofu's whip and rushed in.

As soon as the police officers at the scene tried to stop them, the scalpers flew the people up.

There are still people who are in a hurry and jump on the bull's head.

saw the scalper instantly lose control and crash into the anchored merchant ship, and Liu Duofu was also thrown out.

With a pop, Liu Duofu fell dizzy. Holding on to the nearby mast, he stumbled to his feet.

Only then did he find himself thrown onto the boat.

What shocked him even more was that it was still a ship full of corpses.

At his feet, a white rotting corpse lay down. I saw that my face, neck, and hands were covered with chickenpox with big eyes. Some of them cracked and ran with thick water. And on the deck, there are still a lot of corpses.

These people are also covered with chickenpox.

While he was secretly frightened, several tightly wrapped policemen had already boarded the boat.

Seeing Liu Duofu standing next to the corpse, the policemen all widened their eyes and stood in place dumbfounded. A young policeman shouted in a panic: "Liu-Liu-Liu-Mayor Liu--".

It was hard for them to imagine that the mayor of Jinshan Town would actually step on this ship in this way.

Even Liu Duofu himself didn't expect it. According to official internal sources, smallpox came from this ship. It is not an exaggeration to call it the source of the disease.

Fear is fear. In front of so many people, Liu Duofu didn't dare to be too timid. Therefore, trying to stabilize his emotions, he asked in a calm voice, "Is this the Dutch merchant ship that disappeared?" ”。

The officers nodded immediately, apparently acquiescing.

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. This Dutch merchant ship actually ran away from Daming to the far south.

Unfortunately, Liu Duofu is at risk of getting sick.

(Thank you for the recommendation votes of Xiaohong 028.) Sorry, I had a heat stroke yesterday, so I didn't have time to update. Will recover soon. )
