The news from Hokkaido was transmitted to Kaohsiung in the form of a relay of carrier pigeons, passing through Tsushima Island.

The last time Tao Wenfu reached an agreement with the local Japanese aborigines on Tsushima Island to rent a supply point, and after a round trip, the flying pigeon biography between Tsushima Island and Kaohsiung has been passing information back and forth. Tao Wenfu left behind a dozen men and a ship on Tsushima Island, and these dozen people stayed alone on Tsushima Island for two or three months at a time, until Jin Ding led the fleet to arrive again.

The flying pigeon code for Hokkaido and Kaohsiung communication is different from the one used on Tsushima Island, and the code for communication with Tsushima Island alone is the same for Kaohsiung and Hokkaido, while the password for direct communication between Hokkaido and Kaohsiung is higher, which is done to avoid carrier pigeons being intercepted on Tsushima Island. In this way, even if the Japanese in Tsushima changed their minds halfway through, and even detained the Tai-Song employees at the supply point, they would not know what kind of information the flying pigeon messenger was transmitting between Kaohsiung and Hokkaido.

In addition to Tsushima Island as a transit point, Jeju Island is a backup transit point. Of course, so far, Jeju Island has only maintained a minimum of pigeon transmission with Hokkaido, Kaohsiung, and Tsushima Island, and the current pigeon communication is still mainly based on Tsushima Island transit.

There are three groups of pigeons on Tsushima Island, each of which performs its own duties and carries out round-trip communication between Tsushima Island and Hokkaido, Tsushima Island and Kaohsiung, and Tsushima Island and Jeju Island. After receiving the flying pigeon from Hokkaido, if Tsushima Island indicates that it needs to be transferred to Kaohsiung, it is only necessary to take the pigeon book and transfer it to the carrier pigeon flying to Kaohsiung, and vice versa.

Hokkaido and Kaohsiung rely on this method of carrier pigeon relay for communication, and within three days, one end can receive the pigeon book at the other end.

A few days ago, the good news from Hokkaido made Zhao Lian and Han Yanxuan feel indescribably excited, and today's news is even more exciting.

After reading the translated pigeon book, Han Yanxuan pushed everything at hand and explained:

"Prepare the car, I'm going to the national government."

The office building of Taiwan Song Haimao was originally more than a mile away from the Guogong line, and it was necessary to follow the rules of Lin'an, so of course it was to go by sedan chair. Nowadays, however, the SAR does not occasionally carry a sedan chair and sit in a sedan chair, but instead rides a horse-drawn carriage. Han Yanxuan's new carriage has not changed much in appearance, but it is no longer the same as the first-generation carriage in terms of riding performance.

The carriage traveled in a circuitous way, and soon arrived at the Guogong Xingyuan.

The guard at the door saw that it was Han Yanxuan coming, and hurriedly saluted:

"Lord Han, please! The country is riding a bicycle. ”

"Oh." , Mao Geng's side recently trial-produced ten new bicycles, and also sent one to Han Yanxuan's side, but Han Yanxuan was not interested in learning to ride a bicycle, but let his subordinates Xing Fu, who ran errands, learn, and now that he has a bicycle, this guy is faster to run errands.

When I got into the line, I saw Zhao Lian wearing a short suit, riding a bicycle in circles on the cement lawn, occasionally letting go of a hand, driving freely, and when he went around in a circle, Zhao Lian saw Han Yanxuan, waved his right hand, and said:

"Lord Han, what do you think of the style of cycling in your country? Don't lose to Xing Fu's house! ”

"Hehe, of course Guogong doesn't have to say anything about riding a bicycle, so that Xia Guan admires it a lot, you see, Mao Geng gave me a bicycle, Xia Guan just can't learn it, but it's cheap Xing Fu's house!"

Zhao Yan laughed, although he knew that this was Han Yanxuan flattering himself, but after all, looking at the entire Special Economic Zone, there were only a handful of people who could ride a bicycle, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

Zhao Lian jumped off the bicycle, threw the bicycle to his subordinate Chen Man, and asked:

"Lord Han, what good news do you have to tell me this time?"

"Guogong, this time it's news from Hokkaido, and when the lower officials received the news, they came to report the good news to the Guogong as soon as possible."

After handing over the translated pigeon book, Zhao Lian took it and took a look, good guy! I've found a treasure again!

"Chen Man, quick, go and invite Maote, well, invite Mr. 6 too, and ride my bicycle."

Seeing Chen Man's bitter face, he realized that Chen Man didn't know how to ride a bicycle yet, and waved his hand:

"Forget it, let's go in a carriage."

Soon after, Mao Geng and 6 Jiuyuan arrived. Mao Geng saw that Zhao Lian was still wearing a short bicycle riding clothes, hehe, this is the Zhongshan suit he gave him, it is obvious that Zhao Lian should have been riding a bicycle before. But after riding a bicycle, he didn't change into a Da Song formal suit, which is a little strange.

Zhao Lu's face was flushed, and he smiled:

"Jinding's luck is good, he has made a fortune in Hokkaido, and the ambergris alone is worth four or five million catties of cement produced in the Special Economic Zone! The luck of fishing is very good, more than 600,000 catties of fish, and the luck of Jinding is really too good to imagine. ”

Mao Geng smiled secretly in his heart, and said in his heart that Hokkaido is known as the world's largest fishing ground, of course, it is not in vain, and it is not worth making a fuss about catching such a few fish now. However, it is indeed good luck to be able to catch sperm whales.

After taking the pigeon book and reading it, Mao Geng was sure that whale oil and fish maw were what he valued the most, and these two were urgently needed industrial raw materials, as for making money, that was what Taisong Haimao was more concerned about.

"Jin Ding asked for someone, even if it was an exiled prisoner, they wanted it, Mao Geng, what do you think?"

Zhao Lu invited Mao Geng to come to listen to Mao Geng's opinion.

Mao Geng felt that the Xiang army raised by the Great Song Dynasty would consume state funds anyway, and Taiwan could digest part of it, and large government-owned enterprises like Minmetals Holdings could digest part of it, and in fact, it could also allow Hokkaido to digest part of it. Even some of the forbidden troops with low combat effectiveness can be sent to Hokkaido, because Jin Zhangzong of the Jin State has just ascended the throne, and it is impossible to attack the Song Dynasty at this time.

"The prince of the country, the lower official thinks, can ask the imperial court to send 10,000 troops to Hokkaido. Hokkaido's shape shì is so gratifying, it is only right to send more people there. ”

6 Jiuyuan shook his head when he heard this:

"Maote, don't forget, there is also a shortage of people here in the Special Economic Zone, in my opinion, you can't chew too much to chew, and Hokkaido has dispatched two or three thousand people to it, and it has risen to the sky. Here in the Special Economic Zone, there are not 12,000 people needed, and if the imperial court can send troops to the Special Administrative Region, it will naturally be as many as possible. Besides, Hokkaido is very far away, and it is very cold, and all the soldiers of the Xiang Dynasty are like old men, and they are afraid that they will never want to go there. If you come to the Special Administrative Region, the Xiang Army may still be willing, and the Special Administrative Region is now famous, anyway, whether it is the Xiang Army who came here before or the forbidden army, they are all very beautiful. With an example in front of us, it is enough to drive the follow-up officers and men of the Xiang Army to come to the SAR. ”

Mao Geng also knew that what 6 Jiuyuan said was reasonable, but Mao Geng did not want the proportion of the military in the SAR to be too large, and these guys who had been used to eating in a big pot of rice in the barracks for a long time still had too many problems. Moreover, Mao Geng did not feel that it was necessary to go to the crowd tactics at the beginning, and it was necessary to maintain a certain labor gap, which could motivate everyone to find a way to replace labor with machines, which was also one of the driving forces of the industrial exhibition.

Regarding the positioning of Hokkaido, Mao Geng felt that he needed to let Zhao Lian understand his own thinking as much as possible.

6 This is not unreasonable. However, the people needed in the next step of the SEZ are mainly craftsmen and young people who have the potential to become craftsmen, and of course some female workers are also needed. Nowadays, the focus is on planting sugarcane, sweet potatoes and cotton, and if some people want to grow rice, they will also listen to it, in short, there is no need to worry that the peasants will not come. ”

Mao Geng said this, I feel a bit exaggerated, of course, planting sugarcane, sweet potatoes, and rice can have high yields, but planting cotton doesn't seem to be very good, and the rain seems to be too much. Speaking of cotton, at present, the planting of cotton in the Great Song Dynasty is far from being planted in a large area, and there are sporadic cotton farmers near Quanzhou, including Fujian, and there are also sporadic plantings in Qiongzhou Island, Guangdong and Sichuan, but it is far from being on a large scale.

Mao Geng continued:

"When it comes to Hokkaido, it's different, and the people in Hokkaido don't need any skills at all, whether it's slaughtering, boiling whale oil, breaking fish, drying fish or smoking fish, everyone can do it. Therefore, it is just right to dispatch the box army over. ”

Zhao Lian nodded, it is not necessarily a good thing for those guys in the Xiangjun to come to the Special Administrative Region, but it is better to let them go to Hokkaido, no matter how it is said that it is better than the local Xia people.

"It's good to be cold in Hokkaido, but the temperature is minus six degrees, which is nothing, everyone provides a set of cotton clothes, and if one set doesn't work, there are two sets, and in my opinion, there is no need for eiderdown jackets." , Mao Geng felt that keeping out the cold was not a problem.

The year of the Great Song Dynasty coincided with the Xiaoice River period, and it was cold enough everywhere, Mao Geng initially thought that Hokkaido must be minus ten or twenty degrees at this time, but now it is only minus six or seven degrees, why be afraid!

The Great Song Dynasty gave the forbidden army a coat, and five sheepskins could make a set of military coats. Xiang Jun didn't have that treatment, nominally it was a silk cotton robe, but in fact, it was mixed with a lot of mess. The so-called silk cotton robe is a double-layer linen cloth filled with silk cotton and hemp fibers, which is called a silk cotton robe. The quilt at this time in the Great Song Dynasty was also filled with silk cotton, of course, this silk cotton is not as good as the silk cotton of later generations, the short silk of silk, including the cocoon shell of silkworm is the raw material of silk cotton, filled into a double layer of linen, it is a quilt. Of course, there are also high-grade silk quilts, which are filled with top-quality silk cotton with brocade as the surface, but this is by no means something that ordinary people can enjoy.

"After the Xiang army goes to Hokkaido, it is completely possible to raise horses, sheep and cattle, anyway, Hokkaido is sparsely populated, and the climate is suitable for animal husbandry, and the Xiang army will not be able to do anything else, it is not difficult to raise horses and sheep!"

Of course it's not difficult! When Han Yanxuan heard this, his eyes lit up, since the Great Song Dynasty lost the northwest and lost the place to raise horses, since then horses can only be smuggled from the Jin State, and then from Dali to buy dwarf Dali horses. Gangnam's climate is too hot for horses, but Hokkaido is not the same, Hokkaido has a cold climate and can be called a natural pasture.

"Mao Geng, you're saying that you can make money by grazing in Hokkaido, right?"

"Of course!"

"This is another good news, I'm afraid that the soldiers of the Xiang Army will not go so far." In Han Yanxuan's eyes, it is worth paying attention to the fact that a qiē can create benefits for the Taisong Company, but it is not easy to make people willing to go all the way to Hokkaido.

Mao Geng smiled:

"There will be brave men under the heavy reward, one of them, the monthly salary is doubled, six or even seven times a month, and the family also has a monthly salary for doing things, there will always be someone who will be tempted! Second, it rotates every three years, so you don't have to stay in Hokkaido for the rest of your life, and at least you don't have to go to the battlefield for three years. With such conditions, what is the difficulty of mobilizing 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and soldiers! Later generations will be stationed overseas, all of them will have overseas allowances, and there is no special policy, who can go all the way overseas!

Listening to Mao Geng say this, Zhao Lian felt that Hokkaido could be used as a place to raise horses, so it was worth talking to the emperor's grandfather about the conditions, but there were still some questions:

"Mao Geng, a person has seven money, who pays for the money, Taiwan and Song Haimao or the imperial court? If the Taisong company comes out, will it lose money? ”

Mao Geng said in his heart, if you want the court salary, can the court be motivated! Without hesitation, he said:

"The monthly salary of the Taiwan Song Company is good, anyway, if the imperial court wants to buy a horse, it will pay to buy it with the Taiwan Song Company. In addition, the price of mutton is high, so if you raise more sheep, you should also herd 200 sheep if you don't say anything. Coupled with whaling and fishing, the potential is endless, and it will never lose money. ”

The strange thing is that the Great Song Dynasty did not eat pork from time to time in this era, but it was fashionable to eat mutton, the price of mutton was particularly high, in the early days of Nandu, the price of mutton was actually the highest to 900 Wen a catty, and then the two Zhejiang gradually learned to raise sheep, the price only declined, but it is still the highest price in meat.

Another benefit of shepherding is that you can shear your sheep. The economics of shepherding are very promising.

Hehe! Zhao Lian now sees everything, and has an economic vision, well, only by understanding the economy can he be a good top leader. Not bad!
