After three months, Li Guang set foot on Datang Island again.

In just a few months, Datang Island, especially around Vladivostok, has begun to change dramatically. The city is still a small port town built during the French colonial period, just like the original. There are just a few factories and a few more chimneys around.

But in the towns and villages around Vladivostok, there has been a radical change.

Vladivostok is located in the northern part of Datang Island. However, because Datang Island is located in the southern hemisphere of the earth, the climate is just the opposite of Chinese mainland. The north is tropical, but in fact it has a tropical maritime climate. If we compare the geography of China, Datang Island is almost equivalent to China's Hainan Island to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. And Vladivostok is basically not much different from the climate of Hainan Island.

The most distinctive feature of the Haitang Kingdom is the planning of the countryside, and the architecture and agricultural structure are more similar to those of Fujian, Guangxi, and Guangdong in China.

Datang Island is nearly 600,000 square kilometers, and the Tang people plus the indigenous people are less than 4 million at this time. Among them were three or four hundred thousand indigenous captives.

If you look around, you can find a region that can support the scale of townships (Haitang has set 5,000 people as township level). As for the scattered small plots that can support hundreds of people, they are not considered to be developed at all. The Kingdom of Hadivostok has initially planned four resettlement areas, but the area around Vladivostok is still the most important area.

In the vicinity of Vladivostok, more than 200 agricultural towns and villages have been planned in convenient places with convenient transportation, which can accommodate more than one million people. However, now Haitang Kingdom is not short of materials or territory, but only people.

In order to absorb immigrants from the country, the Haitang State not only recruited a large number of landless peasants from the country, but also recruited a considerable number of agricultural soldiers. One of the most influential propaganda slogans in China has penetrated into many provinces in just a few months. This propaganda slogan has a fatal attraction for the Chinese people: "Thirty acres of land is a cow, and the wife and children are hot on the kang." ”

Field. Li Guang was not worried at all. Before the war, Madagascar had a population of about 4 million, and although the French colonizers did not count the number of fields, it was estimated that it should be around 12 million acres. The war has caused economic devastation, a large number of people have been depleted, and there is now a lot of abandoned farmland. Even if the Haitang Kingdom does not have a large number of pioneers and resettles a population of 1.8 million, it is not very difficult.

However, for the means of production such as cattle, it is not so easy to buy in China. Originally, the government introduced such conditions, but Li Guang thought that he was suspected of fooling. But when he saw. There is no problem that a family of immigrants can really provide a cow here.

The indigenous people here in Datang Island have an excellent tradition of cattle raising, and a purely primitive agricultural economy makes them attach great importance to cattle, and every family raises cattle. The inexhaustible pasture resources make it very abundant here. It is an excellent foundation for the economy of Datang Island. In that sense, it's really rich. It's much better than the domestic economy.

In a word. According to the estimation of people in the government who have a considerable understanding of the domestic economy and people's hearts, such preferential conditions can attract enough people.

Among the agricultural towns of Haitang, the most eye-catching building, or almost the only one, is the circular Fujian tulou.

Tulou. It is a certain proportion of sandy clay and clayey sand mixed into the soil, with the sandwich board rammed to form the wall, columns and beams and other structures are all made of wood building, in short, it is to build a wall with raw earth plate as a load-bearing system house.

Li Guang once participated in tulou cultural tourism in the 21st century. I know a little bit about this thing. The ancients created this kind of building out of the need to defend against wild beasts and robbers in the mountains and forests, and of course because of the low cost of construction.

According to the tour guide at that time, this kind of architecture also embodies the Confucian ideal of a large family living together.

However, the idea of building a large number of tulou buildings did not come from Li Guang, but was the judgment made by the government's National Development and Reform Commission personnel after research. This kind of building is most suitable for the current condition of the Haitang Kingdom.

First, raw materials are abundant, and clay and sand can be used locally. And wood is everywhere, and there is no need to buy it.

Second, this kind of tulou is sturdy and durable, not only can shelter from the wind and rain, but also can avoid floods and beasts, and it has considerable defense capabilities to the outside world. You must know that although Datang Island has now been cleared of French forces, the indigenous people have not yet been completely included in the rule, and some areas are still quite dangerous.

Third, there are many people from Fujian and Guangxi in the Haitang Kingdom, and there are quite a few veterans of building tulou. Building a tulou may seem simple, but it actually requires considerable skill and experience. Haitang has no shortage of such technical strength.

Fourth, this structure is more conducive to centralized management, and the primary education that Li Guang attaches the most importance to can be carried out on the spot in the walled building. The government management model at the township level is very Haitang characteristics, and the government of each township is actually a school, and three or two people with some education are not only government employees (not official officials) but also play the role of teachers. These personnel, some of whom are old-style literati, and some are students who have attended new schools, are not necessarily very capable, but there are almost no chores in the towns and villages of the Haitang Kingdom, and the management is not difficult. His main job is actually very simple, he doesn't even have the task of collecting taxes for the time being, and the main thing is to be a primary school teacher.

The criteria for the evaluation of these workers are also simple, with only two items: food production and the number of people who have graduated from primary school. I have to say that in the minds of the Chinese people, the attraction of being an official is great enough. The incentive given by the government is that those with excellent grades can become official officials in the county.

Haitang's human resources are in short supply, not to mention elections, or even appointments, and there are not enough grassroots government workers.

With the encouragement, these people's enthusiasm for work is still quite high, and they are all looking forward to becoming an official Haitang official in the future.

Li Guang wanted to build a high-rise building, but that thing was too unrealistic. There is only one cement plant in Datang Island, which has just been put into operation, and the output is small, and the products can only be used for critical purposes. In the 21st century, Haitang will not produce steel bars, which do not need to be produced at all, and can only be purchased from the United States or Australia. The United States controls the export of many types of steel, and there are not many restrictions on this kind of civilian steel, otherwise some buildings that must be made of reinforced concrete in the Haitang Kingdom would not be able to be built.

In short, to put it bluntly, only manual and rudimentary tools are needed to build tulou. The Naval Resistance Army had hundreds of thousands of prisoners, and the human resources were sufficient. Tool. At the beginning of '42, the government bought a lot of tools. Grain, at present, Haitang is also purchasing on a large scale, and there is no shortage of it.

Seeing all this, Li Guang was extremely surprised.

The development progress of Datang Island has a bit of a subversive taste of economic concepts for Li Guang. In just a few years, more than 1,500 tulou buildings have been built on Datang Island in November, which can accommodate a population of 500,000. Don't say that this kind of building is backward, such a project is nothing. You must know that this is all built by manpower, and there is almost no modern machinery.

Thinking about real estate in the 21st century, Li Guang can't help but vomit. Li Guangcong built the tulou project. Draw a conclusion: in the real estate industry, if the government does not control the land, the house itself is simply not worth a few dollars.

According to estimates, if built in this way, such a tulou will house a million people, and the total investment will only be 100 million Tang Yuan. That's $2.5 million. In other words, the cost of living is only $2.5 per person.

Of course, at this cost. Nothing is included. Profit or something. In fact, it is almost purely the cost of food and tools.

Vigorously expanding the construction of this kind of tulou is the political achievement of Hu Bofeng, Minister of Pioneer of the Government. Hu Bofeng played a special role in the Haitang Kingdom, he managed a large number of prisoners, and the military, government and civil affairs were grasped.

In fact, he has also taken on the functions of the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the Ministry of Mining. There are political achievements. With power and ability, Hu Bofeng's status in the government of Haitang has skyrocketed, and now he can almost rank in the top five.

The construction industry can also form an assembly line. This is Hu Bofeng's initiative. In the ranks of captives under his control, all kinds of jobs and trades related to the construction of tulou have now all formed specialized teams.

For example, there is a professional building foundation processing team. There is a professional construction tool team, a mud firing team, and a cutting team.

With such a large team, Hu Bofeng managed it in an orderly manner, and he didn't even use too many troops to ensure safety. In fact, the army assigned to Hu Bofeng had only one armored regiment of more than 4,000 people, and the regiment commander Yuan Mao.

Moreover, this armored regiment only exists as a deterrent by force, and almost all the miscellaneous tanks of the Naval Resistance Army belong to this armored regiment of Yuan Mao. Of course, the quality of personnel and combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the armored regiment led by Qin Zhan in Ceylon.

The economy of the Haitang Kingdom has always been strained, and the maintenance and operation itself is the top priority in the training of the armored regiment, even more important than battlefield tactical training. Therefore, all the tanks were equipped with bulldozer shovels, and they were trained to open up the land and open up roads. In the process, fuel and mechanical consumption is produced, as well as operational and maintenance capabilities are improved.

For the management of prisoners, Hu Bofeng has his own set of mature experience, and the core connotation of captives is to govern prisoners.

In October, the great victory of the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Army in the Ceylon battlefield provided Hu Bofeng with more than 10,000 Japanese prisoners. Not only that, how can these devils also have military training, don't look at the small size, it is really not difficult to manage ten or eight indigenous captives. Especially in the management of the French white captives, the devil captives were cruel and cunning, and the tall French had to bow down.

Hu Bofeng adopted a lot of management methods, cruelty and mercy at the same time, and the effect was extremely significant. Even in some professional ranks, such as coal digging, even the managers were prisoners of the Japanese army.

It was also from this period that Hu Bofeng's pioneer department entered a period of rapid development.

Hu Bofeng has developed rapidly here, and tulou have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

According to the plan of Haitang Kingdom, the Ministry of Pioneer will be able to complete the plan of 20 million mu of farmland within two years with the existing manpower, bringing the total number of farmland on Datang Island to 30 million mu. At the same time, it can also complete the tulou inhabited by at least three million people.

One of the features of Haitang's planning is that the future capital Chang'an, because it is located in the middle of Datang Island, has not been included in the development plan for the time being. The only project that started was to select a beautiful feng shui treasure site around it, and an extremely magnificent martyr's cemetery - Lingyan Pavilion was being built. All the martyrs of the Maritime Resistance Army will be placed there to rest for future generations to pay respects and enjoy the incense offerings of all generations.

The reason why the vast majority of the new immigrants from the Tang Dynasty are used for farming is also the conclusion reached by the scientific analysis of the Haitang government. The structure of agricultural products in Datang Island is very similar to that of southern China, and the staple food is also rice cultivation.

People in the 21st century, as long as they were liberated in advance, all people have the impression that they are backward. But China's backwardness is not all-encompassing. At least in terms of agricultural technology and cattle raising technology, Chinese farmers are not a notch above the indigenous people of Madagascar.

In fact, Li Guang found in Uruguay that the agricultural technology of the Chinese is definitely no worse than that of the white people in Uruguay. It's just that the white people own a lot of land, and production can be scaled up. The Chinese, because of the lack of land, adopt intensive farming.

This is especially true in Datang Island, where the indigenous people who are still in the era of slash-and-burn cultivation grow grain, and the yield is not even half that of the Tang farmers.

Therefore, under the unified guidance of the government, the peasants who have no culture and no skills are still engaged in the old profession - agriculture. And this is also the most practical approach, and it is also the most suitable deployment of the national policy for immigrants. (To be continued......)
