On the white sand, a specially made parasol sways gently in the wind. The moist sea breeze whipped up the gentle waves, washing the yellow sand grains smoothly and delicately. The shadow of the mangrove forest was stretched by the setting sun, and Zhang Guanghua and the beautiful and sexy queen were lying quietly on the beach chairs, enjoying this beautiful time.

"Hey, that's boring!" A sigh accompanied someone's lazy waist blowing from the sea breeze seriously affected the quiet atmosphere.

Zhang Guanghua stretched his waist and stood up with a front flip, he put his finger in his mouth and whistled, and a five- or six-month-old little yellow dog ran over from the beach with his tongue out.

"Haha." Seeing a sea crab between the puppy's mouth, Zhang Guanghua laughed, he ripped the crab off, and the painful puppy screamed. Seeing Zhang Guanghua's hand stretched out again, the puppy dodged and ran to Li Xinlan for comfort with his tail wagging.

"Rhubarb, don't pay attention to that weird millet guy." Li Xinlan comforted while petting the puppy.

From May to early June, Zhang Guanghua and his group have been playing on Xiamen Island for almost a month, from the initial novelty, then to numbness, and then to the final boredom, Zhang Guanghua is idle, and he is eager to do something.

Seeing that the sun had set, he said hello and returned to Chenjia Village with his wife and "Rhubarb".

"Childe, Anxi has replied!" As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Carpenter Liu, who was sitting under the tree and enjoying the shade, said to him.

"Oh, what is written? Take a look. He reached out and took it.

Unfolding the letter, Zhang Guanghua only said two words: "! ”

When he first arrived in Xiamen, he was ready to build Xiamen City in the name of the palace, so he sent a letter to Li Da and Shen Li asking for financial support, but he didn't expect the two of them to reply as if they had colluded in advance.

Li Da: Does it cost so much silver taels to build a palace? If you don't give it, you can give it up to 20,000 taels.

Shen Li: Chairman, the profits of the Chamber of Commerce have all been invested in expanding reproduction, and now there is no money! Although you are the largest shareholder, the dividends at the time of the dividend are more than that, but you will have to wait until the end of the year to get the money. However, I heard that you are also preparing to open a new factory, and the equipment and raw materials in your laboratory and factory can be provided by the Chamber of Commerce, and the fixed assets will be used as shares. As for the cannons in the port, you will have to spend real money to buy them, although the flintlock pistol can give you a discount, but it also needs to pay both money and goods.

"Your sister!" Zhang Guanghua dropped the letter and suddenly became depressed.

But no matter how angry you are, you can't solve the problem, there is no way, Zhang Guanghua has been worried about a white hair in the past two days. Tearing off the gray hair in the mirror, he suddenly relented. I have technology, I have advanced ideas, this is my advantage, am I still afraid that I can't get money? I can use this advantage to attract other people to join the shares, whether he is from the Yuan Dynasty or a foreign country, as long as he can give me money, it is God.

He first wrote a business plan to plan Xiamen as a world-class city, and described the prospect beautifully. In fact, the sales of goods before the "empire" were very limited, and the cement, mirrors, clocks, bicycles, ball bearings, pulleys, soaps, flush toilets, compasses, screws, glasses, toothbrushes, toothpaste, pencils, glasses, scissors, thermometers, honeycomb coal, coal stoves, and white sugar, cotton cloth, tea, and porcelain, which had been traditional and powerful export materials since the Song and Yuan dynasties, were all secretly smuggled to Quanzhou's Amiliddin for sale, and Amiridin made a lot of money just by changing hands.

And his plan this time is to directly open a port in Xiamen, and persuade the imperial government to implement a port duty-free policy, which will be used to export new materials from the empire, and import ores, coal and other raw materials by the way. In his description, if the duty-free port is successfully operated, the island's ports, warehouses, and shops will be able to earn money every day, and the collection of merchant ship parking fees, warehouse lease fees, and shop façade fees can be receiving, not to mention that a successful port can also strongly promote the export of domestic goods.

Zhang Guanghua arranged for Zhao Hui to return to Anxi to establish the "Xiamen Development and Construction Chamber of Commerce", which attracted investment from the domestic government and businessmen by the way. He himself is going to disguise himself to go to Quanzhou to meet Amiriddin, he and Amiridin are old partners, I believe he will not be moved when he sees such a big piece of cake in his mouth. In fact, he also hid one thing from everyone around him, that is, he was not only going to build a port city, but also planning to build a heavy industry research and production base, so the funds he needed were very large. The construction of the city alone requires at least 400,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to 200 million yuan in vouchers. If it also includes shipyards, steam engine factories, electric motor factories and supporting research institutes, I am afraid that the cost will be doubled.

Setting off by boat, seeing Quanzhou City for the first time, Zhang Guanghua was stunned by the scene in front of him, the whole Quanzhou Bay was full of large and small Chinese fortune boats, Arabian dhow and dhows, there were thousands of them, and there was no end in sight from afar. When the ship approached, it was found that the wharf was even more lively, densely packed with workers carrying goods back and forth between the merchant ship and the warehouse, and the Persians, European whites, blacks and yellow people rushed on the wharf, which was even more prosperous than Guangzhou in later generations.

"This way!" A fishing boat approached them, and a handsome man with a Middle Eastern appearance waved and shouted at their boat. This must be the man sent by Amiridin to answer it.

Zhang Guanghua and Lu Yishan looked left and right before jumping to the fishing boat, there was no way, they didn't bring flintlock pistols when they went out, so they could only be more careful.

"Rest assured, it's safe." Everyone who came looked nervous and reminded them kindly.

In the chat with this man, Zhang Guanghua learned that after the Yuan army withdrew from Quanzhou, he found that the imperial army did not occupy Quanzhou, so he carefully sent troops back to take over, which was a great credit from God to them to recapture Quanzhou. However, their courage is very small, the Yuan army sent to garrison is less than 2/3 of the original, and all that is left are small shrimp, just used to collect taxes and maintain law and order, and Barbed Sha and other big officials are hiding in Fuzhou.

The largest courtyard in Quanzhou City, Ami Liding is waiting anxiously. In fact, since the defeat of the Yuan army last time, he vaguely felt that the rebels' supplies would no longer go out of his hands, and he was very anxious about this. Originally, he was at the end of his rope half a year ago, and it was with the surprising and unimaginable new commodities in Anxi County that he re-emerged and became the largest merchant in Quanzhou again. At present, he monopolized half of the maritime trade between the Yuan Dynasty and Arabs, Indians, Persians, and some foreigners such as Goryeo, Japanese, Dayue, Laos, Chenla, Siam, Luzon, Boni, and Java.

As soon as Zhang Guanghua arrived, Amiridin immediately invited him to a seat, served delicious food, and after a full meal, everyone began to discuss business.

Amiridin was very excited to hear Zhang Guanghua say that Xiamen City would be built on Jiaheyu Island in the near future and continue to carry out bilateral trade with him. But as soon as he heard that he needed to be allowed to buy shares, pay money to buy land, and not give him the right to trade, his heart suddenly became cold. If Xiamen City develops, the local owner will indeed make a lot of money, but where there is trade, the money will come quickly. However, when Zhang Guanghua promised to give him carte blanche for all the traditional goods such as sugar, cotton cloth, tea and porcelain in the empire, he finally relented and agreed to inject capital. With deep pockets, he directly subscribed for half of the land on the island, and purchased the corresponding sewers, roads, docks, forts and water towers and other shared areas, and also invested in Zhang Guanghua's shipyard.

Zhang Guanghua, who had achieved his goal perfectly, dragged a cart of gifts and left happily, but when they left, they didn't notice that a carriage on the corner of the street lifted the curtain, and the former Wanhu Saiptin of Quanzhou City watched them silently, and then quietly lowered the curtain......

Zhao Hui came back, and he also brought a large number of red-coated cannons, machine tools, and raw materials. He was followed by Anxi merchants who came to conduct field trips, so the rest of the land was snapped up in an instant, and Zhang Guanghua staged a perfect white wolf with empty gloves.

The Imperial troops protecting the caravans also settled on the island, began to build walls and forts, and after the fortifications were repaired, they also stayed behind and came under the direct jurisdiction of the island's officials.

After the completion of the inspection, the chambers of commerce immediately began to build shops in the planning area, and Zhang Guanghua also used all the funds he had returned to build sewer pipes that extend in all directions and run through the entire island, a four-lane road with two horizontal and two vertical directions, and a reservoir and waterworks on Yunding Rock and Wulao Mountain in the south of the island. Of course, he didn't need to do this, he drew the planning drawings and directly had the construction team from Anxi to complete it, and they provided one-stop service for surveying and mapping and construction.

What really kept him busy was the heavy industry base on the shore of Tong'an County, where he needed to build a research institute and establish basic industries such as steel mills, cement factories and machinery factories. Although the name of Xiamen Island is to develop maritime trade, he hides another purpose, that is, to dominate the ocean!

The secret research institute on the shore of Tong'an County went hand in hand at the same time.

Carpenter Liu took the drawings of the "Watt steam engine" and began to develop, the steam engine is composed of a safety valve, a boiler, a double-acting piston cylinder, etc., with a total of more than 1,000 parts. The safety valve uses an adjustable spring-loaded valve, the air pressure indicator is used to indicate the steam condition, and the water level drop alarm valve chirps when the water mark is low. Zhang Guanghua initially used a two-way cylinder, which allowed steam to enter and exit from both ends to push the piston in both directions, and the cylinder had to be completed by a boring machine that rifled the cannon; Use throttle valves and centrifugal throttles to control air pressure and smooth operation of steam engines; A three-link set is used to ensure the linear movement of the cylinder push rod and the air pump.
