Speaking of sea navigation in this era, there is really no safety guarantee, and sailing at sea must rely on the blessing of the Bodhisattva, in case of a storm, it will be very hanging. In the past year, the storm at sea has swallowed up seven ships of the Taiwan Song Maritime Trade Company, and three troop carriers have also been swallowed up.

And the Hatang Kingdom is known as advanced, a ship carrying the last 200 people who survived after the sinking of the Hatang Kingdom 6 returned to the Great Song Dynasty, but it also encountered a storm and sank to the bottom of the sea halfway, if it weren't for the mixed fleet of the Special Administrative Region, the only remaining elites of the Hatang Kingdom would have been buried at the bottom of the sea. It is said that the Hatang Kingdom suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea as a whole, and only more than 200 people survived the catastrophe, which is a strange thing, of course, this thing is very confusing, but all the returnees are unanimous, and the doubters will be skeptical, and can only accept this statement temporarily.

Well, no matter what, on their way back to the Great Song Dynasty, they encountered a storm and sunk ships, which is absolutely true. It is estimated that it is also because of such a narrow escape that there will be a cowardly person who has such an extreme pursuit of safety ship type, such a pursuit is a bit pathological, a little paranoid, but there is no doubt that it does cater to everyone's safety psychology, at least Han Yanxuan feels that this ship type is reliable, and it will be able to lose less ship cargo in the future, which is a good thing anyway.

Zhao Lian also likes it in his heart, after all, sailing on the sea is too insecure, and there will be a storm at every turn, if there is this kind of ship, am I still afraid of taking a boat! It is said that even if you take a boat to Taipei, you will be frightened in your heart, so let's do our best to build this kind of unsinkable ship.

In fact, Mao Geng is also in favor of building a few ships of this kind of safety first, which is like equipping the big leader with bulletproof cars in later generations, and the emperor and grandson like Zhao Lu set sail, of course, safety first, and it is still necessary to build three or four such "treasure ships". Besides, I am afraid of death, and it seems that the SAR should be equipped with one or two ships.

But according to Han Yanxuan's meaning, it is to use this ship to transport goods, which is outrageous. However, Han Yanxuan also has a point, the loss of a ship in the storm and even the people and goods can be calculated, not only the economic loss can be calculated, if the subordinates of the Taiwan Song Dynasty Haimao regard ocean shipping as a daunting way, then how can the team bring!

It is of course impossible to create such a strange ship type for transportation, no joke, in that case, it will inevitably greatly sacrifice the efficiency of loading and unloading.

It must be said that in the past year, Taiwan's demand for shipping has grown too fast. Because the new products of the Special Economic Zone have to be continuously exported, which all need to be transported tonnage, and the demand for raw materials in the Special Economic Zone is also very keen, such as the coal produced in Halong Bay, as well as pig iron, zinc and the manganese iron ore recently mined in Tanzhou.

There is also the fish produced by Natsu Island, which is also produced in Hokkaido, which also needs to be transported.

In addition, after Lao Qiu and his entourage arrived in the Special Economic Zone, a new transportation business was added. This new business is the transportation of struvite stones.

If you want to talk about struvite, the origin is of course Nauru, and the production of struvite in Nauru is the first in the world. However, Nauru is not the only place in the world where struvite is produced, and there are actually many places in the world that produce struvite.

Rodman is an Australian, this man is still a farmer, Australian farmers used to use struvite as fertilizer, because Nauru was once under the jurisdiction of Australia, in the more than 40 years under the jurisdiction of Australia, a large amount of struvite from Nauru Island was exported to Australia. In 1964, the State of Nauru became independent, and its main source of income was struvite sales, and its main customers were Australia.

However, resources will always be exhausted.

Prior to the eighties of the twentieth century, the State of Nauru exported 1oo0,000 to 150,000 tonnes of struvite. Since the late eighties, production has been declining year by year. In 2oo2, it fell to about 2o tons, and in 2oo3, it was less than 1o tons. The annual output of 2oo4 is only about 40,000 tons. Eventually, Nauru had dug all 21 square kilometres of the country, and finally there was nothing left to dig – nearly 40 million tons of struvite had been sold out of the country.

The question is, Nauru, which has always relied on resources to eat, what to do now! People have a way, and he really thought of a trick - to settle historical accounts. Nauru is suing Australia before the International Tribunal, claiming that Australia should be compensated for the ecological damage caused by the extensive exploitation of struvite in Nauru during its years of rule. Then, the lawsuit also paid off, and Australia finally reached an out-of-court settlement, and Australia agreed to pay 10.7 million Australian dollars in compensation.

Australia and Nauru have been fighting for four years, and Australia has been looking for evidence in their favor for four years, and soon, they found evidence, that is, during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan, all the struvite-producing islands around Taiwan were dug into the ground and struvite was mined. But people in Japan have picked it, and I haven't seen Taiwan claim compensation from Japan at all, you see how high Taiwan's style is! The country of Nauru is too undignified in comparison.

This matter was stabbed in the media, and the tabloids played it up, so Rodman knew one thing, it turned out that several islands in Taiwan were also rich in strobs. Among them, the islands of Cotton Island, Maoyu Island, Caoyu, Taiping Island and Dongsha Island used to produce considerable.

For struvite stone, Mao Geng had no concept before, and he didn't know that there was such a thing in the world that could be used as fertilizer, and he didn't know that Taiwan also produced struvite stone.

Stravertite is produced from the droppings of seabirds, which inhabit large numbers on some islands, excreting large amounts of feces and undigested fish bones, and finally turning into struvite after a very long-term reaction. Because struvite is rich in phosphorus, it is a kind of phosphate fertilizer, and after crushing, the effect of fertilizing the field is really not covered, and it can easily increase the crop yield by more than one percent.

After the trial in the Special Zone, the effect was really good, and the value of struvite increased greatly. Agriculture is the foundation of this era, and struvite is a natural fertilizer that cannot be let go, so Taiwan and Song Haimao immediately put it into action, organized manpower mining, organized transportation capacity, and was busy for a while.

According to the plan of Taiwan and South Korea, it is not only necessary to let the farmers here in Taiwan use struvite, but also to let Fujian, Guangdong and even more coastal areas use struvite.

Unfortunately, the capacity is obviously too bad, so we have to expand the fleet.

The problem is that struvite can't always be transported with the kind of strange ship type that puts safety first, and it is obvious that you can't use that kind of strange ship type to transport cement and coal, and that kind of strange ship type can be used to transport high-value goods such as silk, gold and silver, which is almost the same.

After a controversy, the public said that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law has the way, and the strange ship type that puts safety first has been approved by the outstanding safety, and it has been included in the shipbuilding project in Taiwan's five-year plan, but fortunately, it is not in the plan as a mainstream ship type.

I talked about shipbuilding for a long time, and then it was the turn of the whole island of Taiwan and the Xia Yi Island.

Some time ago, Guo Ni, Wu Xi and Yue Ju each led a thousand soldiers and horses to carry out a sweeping operation in Taiwan, and the progress of the operation was very smooth at the beginning, the indigenous people here are still in a semi-civilized state, the level of productivity is still at the level of slash-and-burn farming, and it is still a tribal system, and each tribe is only a few hundred people at most. Because of the low level of productivity and the sparse population density, the indigenous people are simply scattered. Therefore, at the beginning, it was all pushed all the way, and the three Great Song elite soldiers with artillery were simply invincible heavenly soldiers, and the resistance was very weak, which made Chen Yujie and Lu Yijian even feel a little redundant in the team.

However, after entering the steep deep mountains and old forests, the situation was different, the casualties in the Great Song army began to rise, and there were often a small group of natives, and the natives were fighting with the Song army in the mountains, making the Song army a little tired, and the key was that there was little harvest.

According to this situation, Chen Yujie and Lu Yijian proposed to let go of these deep mountains and mountains first, after all, the deep mountains are all some students, the number of people is very limited, and the harm can be ignored, it is better to open the plains and hills first, and then march to the deep mountains when the conditions are ripe.

Wu Xi and Guo Ni also agreed with Chen Lu's construction, after all, it didn't make much sense for the army and the small group to hide and seek in the mountains, and the elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were not doing this kind of mountain search.

Jian yì reported to Zhao Luan, and Zhao Luan also felt that it was impossible to wipe out the natives at once, so he stopped sweeping. On the other hand, dealing with Shen Shi, who was hiding on Luzon Island, was on Zhao Luan's schedule.

Zhao Lian Chunfeng was proud, and he didn't think that Shen Shi could escape the pursuit of the heavenly soldiers, as for this Luzon Island adjacent to Taiwan, Zhao Lian had already pocketed it.

Natsu Island is also Hokkaido, where Jinding is doing well, the territory is expanding, there has been a formal horse ranch, since the last time the tall and majestic Arabian horses were bought from Daishi and sent to Natsu Island, the horse breed improvement program is also going on in progress. In addition, the fishery exhibition on Xia Xia Island is very good, and the annual catch of Xia Xia Island will soon exceed 50,000 tons, coupled with the high income of whaling, Xia Xia Island is simply a treasure land. It is rumored that Xia Yi Island is an island of wealth, and it is full of wealth, although it is far away, there are more than 2,000 people who have gone to Xia Xia Island from all over the Great Song Dynasty. China's long-standing farming people are not very enthusiastic about cultivating the land, they brought seeds and cultivated farmland on Xia Yi Island, and it is said that the harvest will be very good. At present, there are more than 7,000 people from the Great Song Dynasty on Xia Island, including the personnel dispatched by the Taiwan and Song Dynasty Haimao, and the 1,000 soldiers and families of the 1,000 Xiang Army transferred from the Great Song Dynasty.

Xia Yi Island is naturally under the jurisdiction of Taiwan, which brings wealth to Taiwan and irreplaceable raw materials, including whale oil, whale liver oil and ambergris, which are the treasures of this era. After calculation, the output of Xia Yi Island alone has exceeded two million yuan, and such a political achievement is worth bragging about.

The problem is that the demand for manpower on Xia Yi Island is almost endless, and although most of the natives captured in this Taiwan sweep will be transported to Xia Xia Island as coolies there, it is clear that the more than 8,000 indigenous captives are a drop in the bucket compared to Xia Yi Island's manpower needs.

The point is that Taiwan itself has an endless demand for manpower, but no matter what, it has to continue to migrate to Xia Yi Island.

However, during this time, there was a new trend, it is said that Chen Liang also actively recruited people in the Great Song Dynasty, and immigrated to the Kra Isthmus, which can hardly be said to be a good thing or a bad thing, but at least it affected the immigrants to Taiwan and Xia Island, this matter has to be discussed.
