Jeju Island was the largest island in Nambang in later generations, and was mainly formed by an undersea volcanic eruption 1.2 million years ago. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it is a volcanic island, the volcanoes on the island are all sleeping volcanoes, and they do not have that much sulfur reserves themselves. However, over the years, a large number of birds have inhabited there, and the reserves of saltpeter are still relatively high.

The key is that there is fresh water here, which is suitable for human habitation, and it is near Yandu County, Guangling County to the west; To the north is the Korean Peninsula, where Gongsun Kang once set up Obifang County in history; To the east, it will pass through the Tsushima Strait to the Kyushu Island area of Wakoku.

After obtaining a large amount of precious metals from Jinguashi, Li Yu became more and more interested in overseas precious metal deposits. Relying only on a golden gourd stone, there is no way to meet the needs of the huge market in China. In order to maintain the stability of the currency, more and more new coins have begun to be invested in the market, which has slowly become urgent.

Li Yu even felt that it was enough to simply issue banknotes, but later he reluctantly found that due to the earlier currency crisis, people had a great deal of resistance to the currency that was not in good condition. As for currency, a piece of paper represents a certain degree of precious metal or something, and there is no way for the people to accept it for the time being.

He can be regarded as self-inflicted, and he has indeed made a fortune by making counterfeit money, and he can even play counterfeit money again to earn more benefits. However, in this way, the people's sensitivity to currency will be further enhanced, which will hinder the issuance of paper money.

To promote banknotes, it is also necessary to have enough precious metals as reserves. With the current reserves, it is too early for paper money to be issued. This involves overseas precious metal deposits, and Li Yu needs more gold and silver as reserves!

The new session of the people's congress was held, and unlike in the past, with the arrival of 194, the deputies to the people's congress from all over the country were also changed, excluding the military, the political side, and Li Yu, the head of state. Most of the deputies to the previous people's congress have already resigned from their posts at the end of their term of office, and most of them have been relieved of their posts, except for a few who will be re-elected for one term.

According to the provisions of the Constitution, deputies to the people's congress are elected for a term of five years, and may serve two consecutive terms at most. New people's deputies will be selected from the newly occupied areas, and even ethnic minorities such as Wuximan, who had relocated earlier, will also be elected to the people's congresses.

As a result of the discussions, the Hwa Republic sent 2,000 troops to establish the Jeju Island Naval Base on Jeju Island. Of these, fifteen hundred were navy, five hundred were border guards. At the same time, military personnel are allowed to bring their families to come there, and the land contract fee will be waived for five years, and at the same time, each family member in the past will be allocated a homestead of 60 square meters.

Ships from the country can dock at local commercial docks and receive food and fresh water supplies locally. In the end, it was decided to set up a shipyard in the area to specialize in ship maintenance.

Using Jeju Island as a transit point, expedition teams can explore deep into the Korean Peninsula and trade with the local people. You can also go directly to Liaodong County and Lelang County in Youzhou, or even Bohai County in Jizhou to trade; To the east, it can even be used as a forward base for exploring the island of Kyushu.

Li Yu privately investigated the information, and there were nearly a dozen gold deposits on Kyushu Island alone, many of which were still being mined in later generations. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were a lot of these minerals and even on the surface, and no one mined them at all.

The Wa Kingdom did not use gold and silver as the mainstream currency, and even because of the backwardness of smelting technology, there was no way to purify it. Gold and silver did not have much value in the Wa Kingdom at that time, and it was impossible to say that a better iron kitchen knife could be exchanged for more than 30 catties of gold ore or silver ore.

In April 194 AD, the expedition returned again and discovered the islands east of Jeju Island, between the Korean Peninsula and Kyushu Island. Li Yu didn't even need to look at the map to know that it should be Tsushima Island.

Happily, there are also fresh water resources on Tsushima Island, and the expedition team also found a piece of dog's head gold weighing 20 catties in the river, which was also sent back as a trophy for display. As for the fate of the dog's head gold, according to the regulations of the Huaxia Republic, it belongs to the explorers, and they can directly take it to the bank or jewelry store, exchange it for equivalent gold coins, and divide it.

There are gold mines on Tsushima Island, and the first thing Li Yu thought of was Yanyuan Jinshi City, which did not seem to exist in the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, since it is called Jinshi City, it is impossible to say that there are gold mines around the city.

As a result, the state sent a geological exploration force to explore Tsushima. But I guess the next time I come back, it will be around 195. If gold is discovered, the expedition that discovered Tsushima will receive 10% of the value of the ore mined in that year within three years.

Don't look at one percent, if it is a hundred tons of gold per year, then there are ten tons of gold. If the technology is further improved in three years, and the mining volume increases, then the income will be further increased, and in three years, there will be 50 tons of gold ore income.

Even if there is a crew to divide it, fifty tons of gold ore will be exchanged for gold coins, which is enough for them to live a good life!

Expeditions are so lucrative, and Li Yu wants to create this kind of atmosphere, so that they can be encouraged to explore and help the Huaxia Republic discover overseas territories and resources. Besides, in the end, the money they earn is actually consumed within the Huaxia Republic, which will not only return to the treasury through taxes, but also promote local consumption and economy.

At the National People's Congress, the "Exploration Law" was even passed. This law can be complied with regardless of whether it is for undeveloped areas in the country, or for exploration abroad or even overseas. At the same time, it is also stipulated that the island explored overseas can be named by the explorer, and the latter is named by the explorer.

So Jeju Island became Pansang Island, and it was named after the leader of the expedition that discovered the island; Tsushima Island was also named Li-Ning Island, because the deputy leader of the expedition team called it.

With this expedition as a model, more than a dozen more expeditions began to be formed and began to explore north, east, or even south. With more advanced and larger ocean-going vessels, explore those uncharted territories.

A few people directly got the world map, which was actually secretly sold by Li Yu. Since they had the coordinates of many ports, they also roughly estimated the coordinates of the eastern and southern islands, and then began to sail for exploration.

More people want to go to sea, but they don't have this condition at all, not to mention that sea ships are worth a lot of money, just to say that sailing skills are not a skill that can be practiced in a day or two. Fortunately, the market in the land of China is not completely saturated, and there is no need to be in such a hurry to develop extraterritorial territories, so it is not in a hurry to go out.

As time passed, the craze for going out on adventure began to fade away, and every time I went to sea, it was full of unknowns, and it was largely a matter of luck. It can take months, even a year or two, to go back and forth, so it doesn't really attract the attention of most people.

Through the propaganda and education of the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda, the people of the newly occupied territories have settled down and begun to rebuild their homes. Guan Yu and Huang Zhong's attack this time has avoided destroying the living environment to the greatest extent, but the direction of the troops will inevitably have some impact. Not to mention that with a large number of families going north, there have been a lot of vacancies in the market, and many problems have appeared one after another.

At this point, the stabilization work is almost over, and the higher-ups turn their attention elsewhere. For example, in the case of education, the newly occupied area is too vast and many departments do not have enough manpower to fill it. This year's and next year's college graduates don't even need to take the civil service exam to be able to arrange jobs directly.

This group of college students includes many historical celebrities, such as Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu; Cai Yong's disciple Gu Yong; At the same time, Lu Su will also be exiled as Nanyang Taishou; Zhang Jiao's eldest son, who is pseudonymous as Huang Chao; and Pan Fang's son, Pan Lin.

There are many other names that do not exist in history, and their grades are good and bad, and they will be arranged for different levels of positions according to their grades after graduation. Some side effects are also being considered, and both the Ministry of the Interior and the Public Prosecutor's Office will implement supervision.

At the same time, civil servants who passed the provisional civil service examination last year and became prefectural officials will also face a promotion next year. The county officials with excellent work ability and excellent assessment will be promoted according to their results, and many people may be directly promoted to the director or county officer. Of course, this part is certainly a very small number of people.

As the finances began to become more affluent, Li Yu began to consider opening schools and hospitals in the newly occupied areas to meet the local enlightenment and medical needs. As far as the need for pure enlightenment is concerned, there are already many old night schools that have opened branch campuses in the local area, which has greatly alleviated the local educational needs. Many people with a little wealth have signed up to study and strive to get rid of illiteracy as soon as possible.

There is nothing that can be done about medical care, and the shortage of doctors in these years is a problem that cannot be denied immediately. The medical school has graduates every year, but there are no internships for three years, and no one dares to let them take charge of themselves.

Fortunately, with the increase of territory, Li Yu's maximum reputation value has also increased, and it has reached 20 million. The improvement of science and technology has also caused the exchange amount of various black technology products to decrease, and even the maintenance fees of time and space barriers of many technologies have also decreased a lot.

After spending more than 10 million reputation points, Li Yu exchanged for the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" in the form of a book. The book was well suited to medical manuals used in the southern region, and later even a northern version appeared.

The book Li Yu purchased is a perfect version, which can fully meet the medical needs of all regions of the entire Chinese land.

This book contains not only traditional herbalism, clinical diagnostics, but also simple surgery, as well as a full range of knowledge such as diet therapy and nutrition. Of course, the final author of this book has also become Li Yu.

He then handed over the book to the General Bureau of Printing, which by now had begun to switch to steam movable type printing, which greatly improved the speed of printing the book. In order to print this book, the printing progress of other books was appropriately delayed.

Fortunately, the practicability of this book has been tested by Hua Tuo, although he can't understand many things immediately, but the existing prescriptions and medical methods have been proven to be effective after he has checked them. even said that he wanted to learn from Li Yu when he had time, but it made the latter smile bitterly.

Since it is indeed effective, and considering the level of medical care in the country, the state naturally allocates funds to print a large number of books and distribute them to local governments, so that a group of 'barefoot doctors' can be studied and trained locally. It was not until August 194 that the printed books met the needs of various places, and it was only by this time that the subsequent printing of the books began to be sold to the outside world.

Unsurprisingly, as long as there is some ability, people have purchased this book as a reference for home health care. Its popularity is so popular that almost every house has to have a copy. As the book became a hit, Li Yu once again gained a great deal of prestige, and more people became his admirers, or at least followers.

This book is even more popular in the land of China, and even along with the Silk Road, it was transported abroad...... (To be continued.) )
