The convoy carrying the envoys of the governor did not follow the instructions of the Spanish sailors who were familiar with the routes, and went straight west to Spain with the currents and trade winds. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Jian asked the fleet to follow the familiar route and sail north towards the Great Wilderness City.

This land is inevitably going to be explored, but it will take a long time to take root in this land, and Chen Jian is ahead of the rest of the people.

The gap between organized migration and unorganized spontaneous migration is too great, and no one in the world today is more familiar with the routine of planned migration than Jian Chen. In the previous life, I had done this kind of thing for decades, so I was already familiar with it, and everything that should be prepared was also prepared.

Using the advantage of technological monopoly to suck blood and go all out to develop this region is actually still a kind of implicit macroeconomic regulation and planning guidance.

A steady stream of capital investment will not pay off in a short period of time. Especially after getting out of the Nanyang Trading Company, the rich people in the homeland will keep an eye on Nanyang, and you can make a lot of money here.

After a year, when Jian Chen set foot on the Great Wilderness City again, it was already the third year that the construction of the Great Wilderness City began.

The vast majority of the people here were still nominally employees of the colonial company, and even the first employees to set foot on Turtle Island would take two years to terminate their employment contracts.

Under strict planning, the prototype of a planned city has emerged.

This is not the wisdom of the people of one county and one village, but the gathering of a large number of outstanding talents based on the party, coupled with the new-style school training model that has lasted for five or six years, there is no shortage of talents in all aspects.

In this era, if you want to be a "generalist" who is similar to a naturalist in science and engineering, you can still do it.

Under the planning of the engineers, a defensive fortress made of stone, wood and earth was formed, centered on the pier on the riverbank.

The four cannons left at the beginning were also placed on the batteries on the high ground, and if the number of cannons was increased a little more, equipped with six-pound field guns, it could completely contain or defeat the attacking force of 1,000 people.

This is the heart of the entire Great Wilderness City, and because of Jian Chen's judgment of form, it is believed that it will be safe within ten years.

Coupled with the long-term plan after the previous discussion of the party committee, the overall plan of the Great Wilderness City is based on the goal of 30,000 people, and the overall defense system is also based on a ten-year cycle.

Regarding the judgment on this point, Chen Jian is very sure.

No one will be able to reach here for ten years, not even the Europeans, they still have a bunch of on their side, and the focus is on Southeast Asia rather than here, at most the Dutch will go north to dig for furs and establish trading posts and so on after the fog is opened.

In a dozen years, the world does not know what will become chaotic, and then there may be a short-lived wave of immigration. But at that time, I must have gained a firm foothold here, and I got rid of the upper class of the aborigines, and the mainstream culture was still the mutated Chinese culture.

Returning here again, those who remained here prepared a special banquet for those in the fleet. The banquet was a completely different diet, it was like going to another country, but the overall taste remained the same.

Steamed buns have become corn nests, chicken has become turkeys, and there are no domestic animals such as pork, beef, and mutton that need to continue breeding, and there is a lot of fish.

Fennel peanuts, potato soup, roasted sweet potatoes and the like are not available in the homeland, and the taste of the dish is also developing in the direction of spicy.

Some Europeans in the same fleet were not accustomed to eating, especially the way some dishes were made.

But those who come from their homeland quickly get used to it. It is nothing more than rapeseed oil, soybean oil changed to peanut oil, dogwood changed to chili, chicken was slightly bigger, meat was slightly more firewood, batter batter became corn porridge, and nothing else made much difference.

The food purchase after this banquet can be regarded as the first silver coin income from the outside world obtained by the Great Wilderness City Colonial Company.

It's not a city yet, it can only be said to be a big rural area, with a slight hint of the city.

Something seemed to be being built in the distance, but the people in the fleet couldn't leave without permission, so they didn't have a chance to take a closer look.

Chen Jian met with the comrades who remained here, plus the rest of the factions that had been exiled here, and the internal welcome meeting was much simpler.

Nowadays, there are quite a few people in the Great Wilderness City who have become peripheral members of the party, and those immigrants are also accustomed to the atmosphere here, and they are in the period of rising and development of the party, lively and energetic.

Everyone in the Great Wilderness City knows that the group of people in the Mexican Party often holds meetings, and there will be a lot of them. Now that Jian Chen is back, it is inevitable that he will have another meeting.

However, before the meeting, it is always necessary to do an investigation based on facts, and Chen Jian does not have much time, so he can only stay here for about ten days, and if it is later, he will encounter the frequent period of hurricanes.

Early the next morning, I didn't rest, and I went around the Great Wilderness City with a few people for three days.

Beyond the fort are vast cornfields, with some remaining crops.

Although the planting method is rough, the maturity of ridge farming technology can still achieve an objective yield per mu. It is true that the yield of intensive farming is not comparable to that of Asia, but it is also impossible for Asia to have so much arable land per capita.

Hand threshers were ready two years before sailing, so corn could be used as a large-scale food or fodder crop.

With the addition of potatoes and sweet potatoes here, self-sufficiency in food is not a problem.

For the time being, Chen Jian relied on technological monopoly industries such as steel ingots, explosives, kerosene, and glass to absorb the blood of the country and the world, so he did not need to rely on agriculture to complete the accumulation.

In addition, the advantages of a stable and peaceful environment for a short period of time, and the fact that the world's industrialization was ahead of its own side also allowed for the necessary things to be carried out in a long-term semi-natural accumulation mode.

After the three-day inspection, a meeting of the party was inevitably held.

The meeting discussed three things: the future development direction of the Great Wilderness City, the relationship with the local indigenous ethnic groups, and listening to Chen Jian's report on the outside world that he temporarily knows, so as not to be bored and not know how big the world is.

Since it was a meeting within the party, some of the remaining factions who had been exiled here could not attend, and it was inevitable that there was some depression.

It was an enlarged meeting that was attended by the leaders of all party groups.

This is fashionable and still in the form of a company, and it will take two years to have the first batch of free people, and the members of the Mexican Party are basically organizers, basically this is the mold of the National People's Congress in two years, maybe there will be more people in the future, but it will not be too bad.

At the meeting, some people who stayed in the Great Wilderness City made some reports, and then Lan Qi made a summary speech and resolved a very important ideological conflict.

"The development of the Great Wilderness City at this time is deformed. This deformity is manifested in the fact that no workshop is freely accumulated, but is supported by Chen Jianyong's factories and stocks in Minjun. I hope that all the comrades attending the meeting can clearly recognize this point, what can be done in the Great Wilderness City, may not be able to be done in Min County, and the same cannot be copied elsewhere, and it cannot be copied in a rigid way. ”

"Regardless of the problem of coal and raw materials, a factory with a system of sulfuric acid, alkali production, glass, yellow blood salt, soap, explosives, and bleaching powder, excluding labor and ordinary turnover, requires at least 200,000 silver coins."

"If there is no investment from Jian Chen, starting from scratch, starting from the reclamation of the land, even if you don't eat or drink, it will take thousands of people to accumulate for several years."

"This is just one aspect of it, and what I mean by this is that I hope you don't apply the situation here to Min County or the rest of the country, so as not to make big mistakes in the future."

"However, if we complete the accumulation and build such a system factory, the annual income is very considerable, and if everything goes well, we can earn back all the money invested within a year."

Speaking of this, Lan Qi glanced at Jian Chen and said with a smile: "After reading the reports and statistics, I can be regarded as truly understanding how important the first pot of gold that Jian Chen said about the primitive accumulation. But I'm curious, how did Jian Chen's first pot of gold be completed? It seems that your father is not an incorruptible official either......"

Everyone laughed, and Jian Chen laughed too.

I really have to laugh, if only the money was really smuggled by my father's corruption.

He recalled the process of accumulating this first pot of gold, which caused dozens of people to die, more than a dozen people to become disabled, dozens of people to commit suicide without losing all their money, more than 30 people were disabled in experimental production, and eight people were left to breathe because of excessive inhalation......

It's just that these things are carried out secretly, and now that the accumulation is complete, he has become one of the top philanthropists in Min County.

After everyone laughed, Lan Qi continued: "Can this accumulation process be overcome?" It can be in the Great Wilderness City, because the Great Wilderness City now has only a few thousand people, and Chen Jian's factory sucks the silver coins of millions of people in the coastal counties and capitals. ”

"But for my homeland, it's not possible. We need to see the possibilities of the future after the land annexation and the guild break, and make a decision based on that. It is also a disagreement between us and some factions, although they are the closest to us psychologically, but they are doomed to have no way out. ”

"This process is inevitable, but are we doing nothing in the process? Go with the flow? If so, then what is the purpose of our coming together? ”

"Another example is the slave trade that Jian Chen said before. This is also an effective means to complete the primitive accumulation, can we do it? Is it possible to do this for our purposes? ”

"I would say, no. In that case, our party will have to change its name. It is no longer the Mexican Party, but renamed the National National Party. ”

"What's the difference? The difference is that we had already established at the General Assembly the year before that we could not represent the interests of all, only some. This is the foundation on which we have put down roots here and the cornerstone on which we continue to operate in the country. ”

"Before we discover the outside world, we are absolutely righteous, and the people who join the organization never have the slightest doubt."

"Why? Because the world we knew at that time was only us. What we fight for, what the world wants to fight for. ”

But now, the outside world has appeared, and doubts have also occurred. This kind of doubt is not one person, two people, but there are many of them within us, in the progressive alliance. ”

"Some people are starting to wonder what we are looking for, the 11-hour workday, workers' compensation, social adjustments, minimum wage, symbolic unemployment insurance...... Does it count as treason? ”

"Because when we're pursuing an 11-hour workday, others are doing a 15-hour workday, and there's no workers' compensation minimum wage, so it's easier to accumulate. In this sense, we are indeed traitors. ”

"Some people say that you pursue these things, but others don't. It's wishful thinking that others go forward, but you go backwards. ”

Lan Qi took a deep breath and said, "This matter is a question worth thinking about. At this time, there is no need for everyone to answer, and there is no need to discuss, but I just hope that everyone will think carefully. However, the Great Wilderness City must have the attitude and rules of the Great Wilderness City, and even if we fail, we have pursued what we think is righteous. ”

"The road has to be taken one step at a time. In the Great Wilderness City, our future factories, including the private factories that we will invest in in the future and are not collectively owned by us, must implement the 11-hour working day, and must implement various rules such as workers' compensation that we have established. ”

"Even if we fail, even if we are ridiculed by others, at least we work for what we believe in justice. I haven't tried it, how do I know I'm going to fail? If you haven't tried it, how do you know that raising the minimum wage and the 11-hour day system must be less efficient than slaves? ”

"The free hired hands with a little welfare are compared to the slaves. Our Great Wilderness City is to make a comparison, so that the world can see which one develops faster. ”
