Chapter 284: The Great Cause of Island Building
The sun hung high in the sky, radiating a faint warmth, and the air was steaming with a moist, earthy scent.
This is a wilderness, the river called the Ruifeng River turned a bend here, the riverside is covered with velvet grass, the velvet grass has begun to turn yellow at this time, and from a distance, it is a large area of yellow-green. It's the end of August, and even during the day, the weather is a little cold, indicating that the harsh winter will soon arrive.
A few improvised log houses were built on the hillside, and a fence was built around them. Ma Xiang and Ma Fat were lying on the crossbar of the fence at the moment, Ma Xiang's big eyes were staring straight ahead, not far away, there was a sudden roaring monster, Ma Xiang had been popularized by science, Issain called the monster a tractor, the tractor was emitting black smoke, the wheels were spinning and rolling, rolling forward, behind the tractor, a ball of black soil was turned up.
The tractor drove to the end, turned around again, and drove in the opposite direction, leaving behind the same stacks of wavy black soil, ridge by ridge, looking from a distance, it was very neat.
Although Issain patiently explained to Ma Xiang, Ma Xiang still felt that it was extremely magical, and Ma Fat was even more fascinated. Ma Xiang is better, he has seen a steam-powered ship at sea, and he will no longer associate it with gods and demons about the kind of thing that generates power out of thin air. I saw that he was staring at the tractor almost instantaneously, including the sudden roar, including the smoke, and the soil waves raised by the plough, Ma Fat felt very strange, and even his usual active habits were also restrained, Ma Fat looked like a good boy at this moment, and the only disharmony was the string of snot hanging on his face.
Muta and a few natives squatted not far away, these spectators were also staring at this rare thing to see the strange, they all looked surprised, they only felt that these visitors were too godly, and many things brought by them were so incredible, the previous divine fire was already very evil, and the monster in front of him was so violent, it would have such divine power, it was so tireless, it was too subversive of imagination. Mutta's eyes were a little glazed, perhaps stunned, or perhaps he was struggling to wonder why these visitors were driving such a monster to turn the land upside down.
At most, the natives here will slash-and-burn, and perhaps not even the concept of slash-and-burn, and they will probably just throw a few seeds down and wait for the harvest.
Of course, the traverser cannot leave the fertile land uncultivated like the natives, and this large area is a rare treasure with three rivers flowing through it. Since the pioneer team came here, the land reclamation has already begun, but the use of artifacts such as tractors to reclaim the land is only officially opened today.
Issain and Bakeri were in a wooden hut at the moment, and they were sitting by the window, with one side looking up to see the ploughing in the distance. Ba Kaili was wrapped in silk all over her body, and she wore an improved version of the Da Song silk autumn dress on her body, adding a bit of beauty, in the past, this was something that Ba Kaili couldn't think of, but now, this luxurious silk costume that only European nobles could afford to wear was worn on herself, and Ba Kaili felt very happy. She was also curious about the baby at the moment, looking out the window, her eyes drawn to the body of the magical tractor, while Issain only occasionally glanced at the ploughing, and from time to time she kept an eye on Ma Xiang's movements.
Liu Wenbin sailed and left Ba Kaili behind, both of whom were women, and Isa Yin felt that it was her responsibility to let Ba Kaili integrate into the life of the traverser as much as possible, so she would pull Ba Kaili on many times.
It had just rained two days ago, and today was a rare sunny day, taking advantage of the fact that the land was wet and soft, and it was just right to plow, and Ishayne felt that she could help Ma Fen take care of farming, after all, farming is also very important. Because yesterday, the natives who responded to Ma Fen's prize activity sent more than a dozen pieces of coal, Ma Fen took a pinch of black and shining coal, and his eyes were bright and his expression was excited. Obviously, there was a coal mine nearby, and Ma Fen was very encouraged, and led people to follow the native to find a coal mine early this morning.
According to the plan, Tianqing had to let the tractor try to plow, since Ma Fen was going to explore the coveted coal mine, Isa Yin took the initiative to arrange the machine farming, and easily pulled Ba Kaili with her, even if she was an overseer, she was idle anyway, and Isa Yin needed to get something to do for herself.
It was Niu Meng who drove the tractor, and Fan Biaoyong had a lot of things to do, of course it was impossible to drive the tractor, but it gave Niu Meng a chance. Niu Meng drove the No. 1 tractor of the library, followed by a man named Wan Yuankui, and began to plow the land in the land circled by Wanjia, preparing to plow this piece of land again.
Wan Yuan Kui is Wan Youhong's housekeeper, it should be noted that Wan Youhong still went with Lu Wenjie, leaving the housekeeper, Wan Youhong before leaving, took a fancy to this piece of land by the riverbank, Ma Fen saw that this land is five or six miles away from the center of Dongrui Town, I am afraid that there are as many as four or five hundred acres, and he did not hesitate at the moment, and directly granted it to Wan Youhong.
Two hours later, Issain asked people to measure the ploughed land, and after two hours, more than ten acres of land were cultivated, well, not bad, Issain was very satisfied, at the end of the day, relying on machine farming, it was not a problem to reclaim sixty acres of land. If you work overtime, you can complete the reclamation of this land in five or six days.
The next day, Han Huanzhang and Long Jiu arrived, along with Lin Gui's more than 30 ships and Cai Jianwen's five merchant ships.
Ma Fen explained that Meng Qi unloaded the goods at the dockside and arranged the personnel who arrived, this kind of thing Meng Qi had done a few times and was already very familiar with it. Lin Gui and Cai Jianwen cared about their people and goods, and also stayed at the dock. Cai Jianwen listened to Wen Yuan's words and came to Sakhalin to collect fur and aquatic products, and at the same time wanted to see if Sakhalin had room to do a lot of work. Former pirate Lin Gui has been reformed for the past two years, and he has not been a pirate for a long time, but this time he came to Sakhalin Island, and by the way, he did another pirate business, robbed a handful in North Korea, arrested more than 400 North Koreans, and prepared to come here to show off. Lin Gui has made a lot of money from transporting coal from Halong Bay in the past two years, but recently there are too many cargo ships that have joined the coal transport, and the profits are not so lucrative under the competition to lower the price.
Long Jiu and Han Huanzhang got on the four-wheeled carriage and soon came to the command post of Ma Fen's pioneering team.
Ma Fen picked up a piece of black coal from the basket and told the two of them in a gesture of sharing joy that he had found the coal mine, which was not far from Dongrui Town, less than twenty miles.
"Dongrui Town? Who came up with the name? How did you come up with that name? Sounds a little awkward. Han Huanzhang thinks that the current coal mine is not a big deal, it is said that Sakhalin Island is full of coal mines, but the name of this Dongrui town is a bit awkward.
Ma Fen was not happy, and immediately protested:
"I got it, what's wrong! Liu Wenbin also thinks this name is good. Isn't it the Switzerland of the East? Oriental Switzerland, referred to as 'Dongrui', is almost in the city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk in the future, damn! Maozi's place name is awkward to pronounce, Maozi is called South Sakhalin, and the Japanese call it Fengyuan City, it should be this area. Let's call it 'Dongrui', how about it, at least with a Rui word, auspicious! Ha ha! ”
After Han Huanzhang handed over the matter of Kra Isthmus rail transit to Hadek, he set off to Sakhalin Island, arrived at Jeju Island, and when he arrived at Longjiu, he came with the fleet, Han Huanzhang was talking to Long Jiu along the way about the plan to build Sakhalin Island into the Pearl of the Orient, Long Jiu knew that this old man was a typical paranoid, and it was best not to disobey him when the two of them were two, so Long Jiu simply became a qualified listener, I don't make any comments on Han's cowhide.
At this moment, Han Huanzhang was a little confused, and when he heard what kind of Oriental Switzerland he was going to build, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he was really a little jealous in the face of Ma Fen, his mouth opened for a moment, and closed it again.
There is also a certain reason for the traversers to build Sakhalin into the Switzerland of the East.
It is said that Sakhalin Island has an area of nearly 80,000 square kilometers, while Switzerland has an area of only 40,000 square kilometers, and Sakhalin Island is almost twice as large as Switzerland in terms of area. All modern people know the core competitiveness of Switzerland, the first is precision manufacturing, such as the world-famous watch industry, most of the corrupt officials in later generations are wearing Swiss watches, the second is the banking industry, the Swiss banking industry is the international money laundering choice, even Saddam Hussein has to deposit money in UBS.
Mao Geng and the travelers studied it and decided that Sakhalin Island in the future would be built according to the Swiss method. In addition, Switzerland has the famous Alps, which is the world's snowy tourism mecca, and Sakhalin is no worse than the Alps in terms of snowy resources, so tourism is also worth looking forward to.
Long Jiu couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart that Ma Fen, this guy is really direct.
"That's a good name! Captain Ma did a good job here, too! Long Jiu saw that patches of buildings were being built, and even coal mines were found, and Ma Fen's achievements should not be underestimated.
"Where, where! It's just that a few houses have been built and hundreds of acres of land have been reclaimed, and there is really nothing to boast about. It's up to you in the future, it's still a long way to go to build the Switzerland of the East! "Modesty is modest, in Ma Fen's heart, there is still a sense of achievement. Ma Fen immediately remembered the matter of the tractor ploughing, and boasted: "The tractor sent by Mao Geng is really not built, one machine can reclaim fifty or sixty acres of land in a day, next time Mao Geng is asked to transport ten or eight more units, and two tractors cannot be arranged at all, so I am embarrassed to say." ”
Long Jiu smiled and said:
"Be content! Maudt has made a lot of money this time, and this time he has transported a lot of materials, as if there should be two tractors among them. But I've heard that the best thing to do in winter here is not a car, it's a reindeer, right? ”
"Hehe, I'll take you to see the reindeer."
When Long Jiu saw the reindeer, he was a little surprised, this thing has two antlers full of branches, and there are small branches on the big branches, and there are so many branches that it is a bit of a snake. The reindeer is not tall, not as eye-catching as the giraffe, but I really didn't expect the reindeer's physique to be very strong, Han Huanzhang tried to twist the antlers of the reindeer that looked a little complicated, but he was stunned by the reindeer and broke free with a little effort, and he was almost injured.
"I believe it, this reindeer can pull carts, oh no, they can pull sleds." Han Huanzhang had only seen the sight of reindeer pulling a sled in the snow on TV, but now he is looking forward to the time of riding the reindeer sled.
"I tell you, raising reindeer is the most promising business in the local area, and I plan to raise reindeer here, and the long-term plan is to raise at least tens of thousands of them."
Han Huanzhang smiled and thought it was very funny.
But Long Jiu frowned and said:
"Captain Ma, I'm afraid you won't have time to think about raising reindeer anytime soon, according to the plan we discussed in Kaohsiung, your brother will have to take command again."
"Oh, I know. I also have a plan on my side, as soon as you arrive, I will go out and take Holmsk, which is what the Japanese call the port of Moka, which is the only ice-free port on Sakhalin, of course, I can't let it go, I don't need to remind you of this. Ma Fen felt that he had to thank later generations for their patriotic education, which told us that Maozi's two ice-free ports in the Far East, one was Vladivostok and the other was Homsk, both of which robbed China. Of course, this so-called ice-free port means that the port is not frozen, and the outside of the port will still freeze when it is cold, but the ice is not thick, and ordinary icebreakers can move unimpeded.
At this time, Ma Fen was completely well-informed, and his demeanor was very inadequate.
But Long Jiu shook his head, and said in his heart that this is not what we are talking about.
Next, Long Jiu talked about the Sado Island plan, in the plan, Ma Fen's role is to find a way to capture Sado Island, of course, to outwit it, and then he can talk slowly with the Japanese government and the opposition.
When Ma Fen heard this, he was surprised at first, but after a little groaning, he turned to anger, and then roared:
"Shit! It's a blind jb mess! Whose bad idea is this, no! You can't do that! Whoever wants to do this, Lao Tzu beats him. ”
