Those people hurriedly asked, "Mr. Chen has given up the idea of immigration?" ”

Jian Chen shook his head and said, "But I'm not just a businessman, I'm not just a director of a trading company, I'm also a member of a party, plus the consideration of the national interests granted by the council and the king. You're right, really, this settlement shouldn't be using the money of the trading company. ”

"Is Mr. Chen determined to build a settlement here?"

"Yes."

"But in that capacity did you make the decision?"

"Personally."

"Then we don't have the right to suggest either. But the company's employees and craftsmen will give the utmost support to Mr. Chen in everything he does, and that is guaranteed. It is even possible to lease employees on a temporary basis, and we will not make any objections. ”

"That's good."

Jian Chen thought about it for a long time, and he could only make this decision in his own name. The rest, no matter which side they are, will not support him.

People tend to fall into a strange mindset, longing for justice when they are poor and weak, and praising imperialism when they are strong.

Even if the party is progressive, it has not yet reached the point where it is for the benefit of all mankind. As Lan Qi said, domestic affairs have not been resolved, and there is no need to focus on others, unless there is any kind of internationalism as an ideology, it will not make sense, and the thinking will be confused.

With the news of the vast world coming back to China, with the completion of this round-the-world voyage, the ideology in China is really the coexistence of the left, the center and the right.

A large part of the factions of the Progressive League will quickly turn to the right, and even the Mexican Party will split again, and many of the things that Chen Jian wants to do are traitorous acts -- if everything remains unchanged, some parties in the republic will definitely prefer a Taqing of the Opium War to a China that has been reborn from the ashes, so Chen Jian can only be a "traitor" in the evaluation of some people in later generations.

When there is an opportunity to raise the country's strength through a war of aggression, massacre, and enslavement, I am afraid that some members of the Mexican Party will also vote in favor. Of course, there will also be some people who are regarded as "sick", "traitorous", "shameful", "worthy of gallows", etc., with republican, democracy, freedom, peace, the interests of the people, and other things they believe in, like Byron, who threw themselves into the Greek independence movement that had nothing to do with him, and was sacrificed before the war like Jaurès.

For the Republic, at this time, the countless lands around the Great Wilderness City are enough to accommodate the population of the country, this land is meaningless for the time being, and more can be done by focusing on the coast of the Great Wilderness City. Even if he has the mentality of competing for world domination, he will first focus on the coast of the Great Wilderness City and the Spanish American colonies.

For Nanyang Company, it is a very straightforward benefit. Rather than spend money on exploring a Pacific route from Minjun to the east, they would rather focus their energy on this side.

But since it was his personal act, the representatives of the parties in the fleet did not object, but supported it as much as possible, as a personal relationship or as a kind of respect.

The planks of the shipwreck are broken down on the shore, and the good planks in the hands of the carpenter can quickly complete the construction of the house.

There are also some low trees here, and with the surrounding rocks and mud, it is not a problem for more than 1,000 people to build a fort with a defensive function where 70 or 80 people live temporarily.

Cattle, sheep and horses purchased from Europe and Luanda, as well as some of the crop seeds and farming implements that had been carried long ago, were also unloaded from the ship.

Those who choose to stay are only here temporarily as employees. Jian promised to triple their wages and take them back after three years.

During these three years, all the land that was cultivated, the cattle and sheep that were bred, and the coins of vegetables, pigs and muttons, etc., which were purchased from them by passing ships, also belonged to them.

If you choose to stay here after three years, you can continue to stay. If you want to go back, you will exchange the land cattle and sheep here for silver coins according to the market price of Min County, and send them back.

Their role is only to be an outpost here, to survey the nearby land and rivers, and to establish good relations with the nearby aboriginal people, and to teach the local aboriginal people some of the language.

…………

The nearby brown natives who sounded like they stuttered expressed extreme curiosity about the fleet building houses here, but did not express hostility.

Chen Jian gave the nearby family settlement a convex lens that could ignite fire, a fire fold, and a white phosphorus match that was extremely magical at this time.

This friendly exchange also paid off enough to pay off the labor scarcity, and the aboriginal people's life was mainly gathering and hunting, and as long as they paid enough food, they were willing to communicate with the outsiders who came "in big ships with wings", and even carried stones in exchange for food.

Soon, several members of the fleet descended into the Aboriginal settlements, each with their own focus.

Lan Qi is concerned about these people's strange marriage customs system.

The marriage system here has obvious matrilineal and pre-patrilineal habits, and the men will not marry their sisters, but will marry the women of the rest of the settlements, but will stay in the women's settlements to help work for a while.

Coupled with the strange marriage customs or the status problems of some men and women in the rest of the settlements, as well as the wave of divorces of female employees of trading companies in Minxian County, Lan Qi pondered what caused these problems.

and the strange understanding of the concept of "ownership" here, both private and public, and even common ownership by all; Along with these people's incomprehension of money, exchange, and media, Lan Qi fell into curious thinking, considering the similarities and differences and internal connections.

After Lin Xi rested from the turbulence, she looked at the group with another eye, and used everything she learned to investigate the various behaviors of these aborigines in the friendly atmosphere created by Chen Jian, and wrote everything she saw and thought in her notes at night.

"Men here see women with plump buttocks as beautiful, and they see this beauty as beautiful as the bigger the buttocks. From an anatomical point of view, there is no doubt that a woman with a large hip can reproduce more easily. ”

"The establishment of beauty requires a process, whether spontaneous or artificially driven, at least the group's definition of female beauty validates the inference in the book "The Reproduction of Humans and Animals" - that the expression of human animality is to choose a mate who is more suitable for reproduction. Regardless of whether it is male or female, the survival of the next generation is the first element. ”

"For this group of people who lack prenatal women, medicines and forceps, the buttocks mean reproduction. However, since man is detached from a part of animal nature, beauty is used instead of violent competition, and beauty is the expression of human nature. Obviously, if I were in this group, I would definitely be considered an unhealthy, ugly woman. Fortunately, Jian Chen is not from this group. ”

……

"A strange bird, very large, like a little donkey, that runs fast, but can't fly. The locals love to eat their eggs, and these birds will fly away when they see the locals appear. ”

"These birds undoubtedly have an instinct to protect their offspring, but they may have been in contact with these people for a long time, and have learned that if they don't run, they will be killed by bows and arrows. It was obviously not their instinct to flee when the eggs were stolen, but those who did not run must have been shot. ”

"Is this act of running away just as a child learns not to touch a flame? Or has it been fused into their bodies and passed on to the next generation? ”

……

"A local woman took me to collect it, and I saw a turnip."

"Yes, you can't be mistaken, it's obvious from the leaves that it's a turnip. But after pulling it out, it was a big disappointment, and this radish looked like a ...... A little thumb. ”

"I never thought there would be such a turnip in the world, but it is a turnip. The woman was very hospitable and handed me a 'turnip' and washed it and I tasted it. Indeed, this is a turnip, a true turnip. ”

"It seems that my guess was correct. Turnips are not natural as we think, and that is not taken for granted. It has been chosen by the visible hand of man countless times. ”

"In the case of turnips, it should give priority to flowering and seeding, rather than enlarging its own rhizomes. Huge rhizomes are a burden to turnips, just as maggots and mole crickets, the most pesky in the farmer's garden, love our turnips. ”

"For the sake of their own reproduction, turnips do not selflessly prepare food for mole crickets and maggots. Then there is only one possibility, it is that people choose radishes with large roots, and the radishes themselves do not like them. ”

……

"Another nearby settlement, where the women have big buttocks. It seems that just like a bulging radish, the environment and people here need women with large buttocks, so women with large buttocks have more rights to reproduce, so they are getting bigger and bigger, more and more. ”

"I'm sorry I compare people to turnips, but presumably the women here don't care, they think it's a compliment."

……

"Goats! Real wild goats! ”

"The black head, though strange-looking, has long horns, is very timid, and runs fast. People don't like this kind of guy, on the contrary, the clumsy, not timid, and unfast runners in the flock are what people like. ”

"But nature is cruel, and people like it, and those who like it are those who like it, but not the goats."

"I am more and more convinced that the livestock that people raise are selective, and that this choice is often against the natural choice of no one."

"Without people, nature has no meaning to people. What is the difference between human nature, which exists and does not exist? ”

"Did the world choose me? Or did I choose the world? Does the world have a meaning in consciousness? Or does the world need consciousness to exist? Are these two worlds the same concept? ”

"No, no, no...... I shouldn't have thought about it, I'd go crazy. These things are what Lan Qi and these people like to do, let them think about it. ”

"Maybe she'll go crazy one day, maybe not, so I'm going to ask her."

……

"Hah! Sure enough, she has been sullen for the past two days, keeping her head down when she walks, and there are words in her mouth. ”

"Remember, remember. Lin Xi, Lin Xi, just need to consider the inner unchangeable and inhumane way of thinking. ”

"Let her think about these questions, she likes it anyway, as for going crazy, what about Zifei Fish Anzhi Fish...... I had to ask her more questions like that, but I couldn't think about it. ”

……

After staying for more than a month, apart from some strange incomprehensible but not difficult to understand thoughts, Lin Xi saw many things with his own eyes that he had not thought about before, and that slightly dazed thought gradually became clear.

This land with no settled population, and those pristine natural environments, made Lin Xi more and more convinced of his conjecture.

It's just that this process is artificially catalyzed - influenced by others, opinions are formed in advance, and then evidence is sought, and this influence is more due to a kind of psychologically unconscious, unaware blind belief that comes from proximity and trust.

She can't explain the origin of all things, but she tries to explain the changes and differences of all things. As for the origin, that requires the development of geology, which is one step behind, and a big one.

Before boarding the boat, he tore off the part of the content of Zifeiyu Anzhi Fish's Pleasure, and quietly buried it under a stone and sprinkled a handful of salt according to the habits of the tribe here.

When he returned, he happily called Lan Qi her sister and went to take care of the chicks of a few captured ostriches.
