Chapter 258 Cayenne Meeting

"I hate storms, I've been bumped by the waves a dozen times, can't you hurry up to the southwest land?"

"I can't help it, it's always been yin day now, it's difficult to position, I've been driving in the southwest direction, and I'm definitely going to sail to Nanchizhou, I just don't know how long it's been from the coast now,." Li Fei looked at the sky, and he looked uneasy.

Four days and four nights

Since leaving the Green Horn Harbor, the ship has experienced four days and four nights of wind and rain, almost all of which have been spent in heavy rain, torrential rain, light rain and yin days. I don't see the sun during the day, I don't see the stars at night, and I don't know my latitude and longitude at all with manual primitive equipment. If you only know the direction and speed, you can basically get to the destination, which is the advantage of a straight route.

"I see the land, and the black oppression is the land."

"It's finally time to get rid of this damn bad weather. Hurry up and get ready, and drop anchor when you get to the shore. ”

Three days later, the traversal finally ushered in a sunny day. "This is Nan Chizhou, and we are lucky to have arrived in this new continent. According to the latitometry, we are near Cayenne (the name of the old space-time place, which is still undiscovered by the colonists), which is 04°51′n, 174°16′." Li Fei pointed to the edited and revised internal secret chart of the high degree brought from the old time and space.

"We now have two options, one is to go west, along the coastline to the Isthmus of Panama, and walk a few tens of kilometers to our supply point on the Pacific side to take a scientific expedition ship back. One is to go southeast and make a large circle along the coastline, passing through most of the coastline of South Chizhou, sailing five or six times the distance, bypassing Tierra del Fuego and then heading north to the Pacific side of the Isthmus of Panama. Now min zhu voted, please raise your hand if you agree to visit Tierra del Fuego. Li Ji pointed to the chart and drew a circle, and finally pretended to ask for advice.

Seeing that no one raised their hand, Li Ji knew that everyone was frightened by the turbulence of the storm, "Since no one wants to go far, then we will choose a short route, and this ship may not be able to hold out to Tierra del Fuego." Since you all want to try this tropical trip, we need to take care of our bodies and eat back the vomit we vomited a few days ago. Let's rest for a few days before setting sail, let's set up our tent first. ”

After everyone set up their tents, Li Ji and the others began to sleep, and the bumps for several days made everyone have no way to rest well, even if their physical fitness was different from ordinary people. After sleeping for a day and a night, the hungry people began to eat and drink.

This is the case in this rainforest, where there is no shortage of timber and no shortage of fresh water. There is also a great surplus of all kinds of stored food because of the shortened routes. Taking a hot bath every day, eating all kinds of delicious food, and playing all kinds of games on the beach, the people who had a lot of tanned skin were urged by Li Fei to board the ship and set sail.

The children and grandchildren are having fun, and the people who cross the crowd are not idle. The Chizhou development plan, which had been shelved for a long time, was put on the table of tents, and Li Ji and others first circled the best coastal Yinong plains on the map, and roughly divided the administrative divisions and road construction in the initial stage of these places, which took three days, and how to settle the resettlement and land distribution of the aborigines was decided on the beach while basking in the sun.

At this time, there was no real state in Chizhou, all the indigenous people were primitive tribes, and in addition to the tropical areas in North Chizhou, the most advanced aboriginal organizations were only tribal alliances. At this time, there was no shadow of what Aztec and Inca were. There are only three civilized countries that have come into contact with the Chinese Empire, namely the Mayan city-state alliance (not yet a federation, but it can be regarded as a confederation of states), the Toltec Kingdom, and the Qimu Kingdom. These three civilizations are only about the same as those slave tribal alliance countries in Xuanzhou.

Not to mention feudalism and standing armies, even the Iron Age has not entered. In the eyes of most of the explorers and colonists of the Chinese Empire, the only difference from the primitive tribes was that they did not migrate and relied on nomadic hunting for a living. This kind of civilization, whose combat effectiveness can be ignored, cannot be regarded as an adversary at all, and it does not even have the value of establishing diplomatic relations. If it weren't for the strict prohibition of large-scale immigration to develop Chizhou, these civilizations would have become historical terms like the Mongol tribes.

If you want to talk about why the Crossing Crowd strictly forbids the Empire from entering Chizhou, this is to mention the harrowing biological invasion of microorganisms. The frenzied reproduction of animals and plants without natural predators and diseases in the new environment will lead to serious ecological damage and economic losses, and invasive species such as snails, crayfish, fire ants, and water hyacinth are weaker than viruses such as smallpox and measles.

The invasion of animals and plants is at most a loss of money and endangers some agricultural industries, while the invasion of microorganisms will cause a serious plague in human history. The Old World was relatively exchanged, and tens of millions of people died in Europe during the Black Death, and a third of the population died from the plague brought by the Mongols' westward expeditions. And the inhabitants of the New World, who have not communicated with each other for nearly 10,000 years, have long been doomed to have no resistance to the infectious diseases of the Old World. Once a sporadic explorer enters the coastline and has physical contact with the indigenous people, some powerful microbes can cause great plagues.

Before the crossing was ready for full contact and development of Chizhou, many explorers who arrived in Chizhou could only enter the coastline of no more than 20 kilometers, and were strictly forbidden to communicate and contact with the local aborigines. Every time the ships and personnel departing and arriving at the temporary expedition base along the coast of Chizhou were subjected to strict inspection and quarantine, and even in some tropical strongholds, there were strict concentration camps to isolate seafarers with colds and other diseases. Only three ships with 200 places were allowed to go to Chizhou a year, and in the more than ten years since the first discovery of Chizhou, the perverted examination and quarantine system has achieved the miracle that not a single flea has landed on the Chizhou continent.

As long as there are sufficient vaccine reserves, the New World will be able to retain the vast majority of the population and provide a sufficient human base and consumer market for the future imperial industry and various industries. The traversers will never engage in genocide for the sake of some worthless land and gold and silver mines, and any brain-dead methods such as massacre and spreading plague are simply burning money. Such a loss-making business can only be done by uneducated religious lunatics and feudal and illiterate landlords who have not experienced the market economy. A slave international population of more than 10 million, no matter how poor, extracted hundreds of times more wealth through trade and investment than a Potosi mine. Pizarro's idea is as stupid as the United States to kill all the Chinese with a nuclear bomb for a little dollar foreign exchange cash deposit, and then rob the bank banknotes.

The first step was to make the aborigines dependent on the abundant dumped goods through friendly trade and establish basic mutual trust and economic ties, and the second step was military assistance to fund the expansion of the investment-worthy regime into a feudal regional power, and to infiltrate and control these puppet states in all directions. The third step is to tilt towards investment in the real economy, turning the vast and sparsely populated Chizhou into the sixth colonial and investment hotspot (the first five are Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, India, West Asia, and Xuanzhou).

In addition to the prototype of the Chizhou Development Act of the Chinese Empire, there was also a prototype of the Decision Xing Act that would determine the human development index for hundreds of years to come, that is, the New World Aboriginal Medical Allowance Act drafted by Wu Qi. In order to compensate for the value of the land, which was the largest wealth of the indigenous people, at a low price, the full subsidy of free medical treatment for common diseases for the tribal people and their descendants who sold the land was the core of the law. According to the estimates of the traversal people, even if the empire that encircled these lands paid for the basic medical expenses of tens of millions of people for a hundred years, it would not cost half of the value of these lands.

Most of these lands will only be rented out after being acquired by the Empire, and the annual rent collected is enough to cover these additional costs. Anyway, the Universal Health Care Act will be passed in the future, and this preferential policy for indigenous people can be regarded as an important auxiliary channel for wealth redistribution. The increase in the value of the land was sufficient to cover the huge debts, which extended the life of the empire several times for the establishment of a credit standard for the national debt after the abolition of the gold standard.

The results of the Cayenne Conference are not only the main driving factor for the demise of many indigenous civilizations in Chizhou, but also an opportunity for Chizhou to quickly enter modern civilization in the future. A meeting in a small tent can decide the fate of tens of millions of people on a continent, and only the traversal can do it.

As everyone knows, the zhèng fu of the power group also needs financial resources, and it is impossible to survive to the era of national welfare by taxation alone. In Li Ki's conception, among the three groups that constitute the core of domination, the capitalist group, the scientist group, and the politician group all have the right to speak in society and the source of funds.

As the largest trinity group, Chenji Group is naturally the boss of the balance of these three groups. The annual adoption of the Board's budget allocation would allow the three groups to be balanced. However, in order for politicians not to rely on the control of the capitalists, it is necessary to establish a source of funding for the activities of the party, and as an era of party politics that will inevitably appear in the future, in order to ensure the party of the party, the fixed allocation of the zhèng fu has become the main source of funds for the activities of the party. This expenditure is difficult to pass through the budget meeting of the Senate, and can only be listed as the Du Li system of additional revenue and expenditure of Zhèng Fu, and the Land Management Committee under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission is the largest source of income for this Du Li system, and the rent of these Chizhou land will become a source of economic confidence for Zhèng Fu and the Senate to fight against each other.

The many colonies and local lands that have been privatized long ago are the source of confidence for the capitalist group, and the most sophisticated assets of the Chenji Group will naturally focus on supporting the scientist group, becoming a fashion-leading giant group with scientific and technological innovation and the sale of patents as the main source of income, and professionally speaking for scientists and cultural and academic groups. The three pillars of the ruling group will be transformed from the three groups of warlords, bureaucratic landlords, and nobles in feudal society into these three groups that are more competitive.
