Chapter 282: Xanadu
The morning fog slowly dissipated, the sun shines through the mist, looking up, the sun in the mist is a little hazy, the sun brings a touch of soft warmth, unlike the Kra Isthmus, which is often a scorching sun, it is rare to see the sun here, rainy, cloudy and foggy.
At this moment, Ma Fen, Yi Shayin and Liu Wenbin were sitting on the rooftop on the second floor of the wooden house, chatting with each other.
This wooden house is built on a hillside, surrounded by barbed wire behind the mountain, arranged with a clear and dark whistle, the front is an open field, now it has become a military camp, and then in the past, it is a quietly flowing river, where the trees are luxuriant, the green grass is like grass, the eyes are all the original natural scenery, and there are no traces of farming, which can be called the real original ecological ** land. It's just that with the arrival of Ma Fen and the others, the tranquility here was broken.
It's August at this time, it's the hot season in the Kra Isthmus, but it's already very cold here, today is fine, the fog has dissipated a little earlier than the previous two days, it's rainy and foggy here, and you can hardly see the clear sky, but you have to admit that the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, if you don't consider the upcoming winter will be very cold, the three traversers can't help but revel in the natural beauty here, for example, now, under the warm sun, lazily do nothing, sit and watch the clouds rise, such days are also very good.
This is Sakhalin Island, Ma Fen and they landed on this island very smoothly, when they landed on the island, Ma Fen was still like a great enemy, but what they didn't expect was that the action of Deng 6 was like a spring, just scared away a group of animals, maybe someone in the forest has been paying attention, but Ma Fen released the observation post far away and there was no trace of the natives, and the natives just turned a blind eye and let this group of strangers step on the 6 places one by one, without any action.
It wasn't until Ma Fen's pioneer team landed 6 or two days later that the natives cautiously tried to contact the new visitors, who were white old men surrounded by animal skins, when Meng Qi under Ma Fen gave some small gifts to the old man very friendly, the natives began to come over to exchange goods, the natives had animal skins in their hands, and there was gold, in exchange for refined salt, candy, biscuits and cloth iron pots, and later, more and more natives came to barter, so there was an agreed mutual city.
The city is at the east end of the camp, and for safety, a chest-high fence has been built there, and those who come to trade are outside the fence, and the two sides are separated by the fence, at least it will be safer. So far, however, there has not been any armed conflict.
Think about it, the territory here is large enough, and the natives who live by fishing and hunting are still in the primitive tribal stage, and there is no strict concept of territory. The only crop here is buckwheat, and it is not clear whether it is wild or sown by indigenous people. Ma Fen led people to run for dozens of miles, and felt that the buckwheat was like a weed, and there was not much in the east, and the buckwheat that could be harvested looked very limited. Relying only on fishing and hunting and some poor buckwheat, a large area of land is difficult to feed a few people, coupled with the severe cold of winter, only a few people can survive in such harsh conditions, before Ma Fen and they came here, this island must be sparsely populated, I am afraid that a huge island, it would be good to have 10,000 natives.
The natives who first came to exchange goods have now learned to eat pasta, exchanging their furs for flour from the pioneers, and then learning to make all kinds of bread, eating meat with one hand and bread with the other, nibbling on it. Some natives have even learned to eat rice. According to Ma Fen and Liu Wenbin's estimates, if the natives can get enough rice from the pioneer team, they will not worry about food in winter, solve the problem of eating, and live in peace is not a problem.
The natives are not at all unaggressive, and the natives who fight with fierce beasts all day long are of course very strong, but the pioneer team has bright steel knives, sophisticated bows and arrows, and the natives cannot understand the divine fire - that is, the meteor bullet, according to the experience in the Kra Isthmus, as long as the meteor bullet is sacrificed, the natives will immediately be terrified, and worship Ma Fen's team as a god. It's about the same here, as soon as the pioneer team came ashore, they tested a few meteor bombs, and it is estimated that the natives were suppressed, anyway, so far, the natives have shown a rare peaceful attribute in front of the pioneer team, and on Sakhalin Island in the twelfth century, a very harmonious peaceful coexistence was staged.
Ma Fen thinks that this is the reason why our Great Celestial Dynasty wants to build a nuclear bomb by smashing the pot and selling iron, with nuclear deterrence as the backing, whether it is the US imperialist or Maozi, even if he hates you to the core, he has to talk to you about civilization in a fake way. It is believed that for the natives of Sakhalin, the meteor bomb is the level of the nuclear bomb of this time and space, and it is the nature of human beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so the natives of Sakhalin Island have to consciously improve their civilization and build a harmonious society with the pioneer team.
In the process of building harmony, one of the most joyful things is that Ma Xiang recognized an indigenous brother.
The first intimate contact between the natives and the pioneer team was opened by the old native, the old aboriginal man had a name that sounded similar to "Muta", when the old man Muta came to exchange furs again, he brought a strong boy, the boy was less than ten years old, he was tiger-headed, very restless, Muta was busy trading, and without paying attention, the boy climbed over the fence, and then met Ma Xiang, who was watching the excitement behind the fence. I don't know how many candy cookies Ma Xiang used as bargaining chips, anyway, this little boy and Ma Xiang are now like sisters and brothers, Ma Xiang even named the boy "Ma Fat", whenever the two are together, as long as Ma Xiang comes out of the syllable "Ma Fat", Ma Fat knows that something delicious is waiting.
"Look, Ma Fat is here again, what cute two little ones! One white and one black, one fat and one thin, look how energetic the two of them are! "Isa Yin's Chinese is a little out of tune, but it's already very good, Ma Fenxin said, girl, you don't know how to use Chinese idioms, that's called childhood sweethearts, two little guesses.
Ma Fen couldn't help but smile when he thought of this section, Isa Yin glanced at Ma Fen and felt a trace of tenderness in Ma Fen's eyes.
Liu Wenbin thought about it and said:
"Actually, this place is really like a paradise, natural, harmonious, and no one will compete for it for the time being. It's a little colder in winter, but you can ski, the snow is white, it's also beautiful, and there are mountain delicacies, salmon, these are all delicacies, you can eat whatever you want, even bear's paws are not rare! It's nice to be here, I'm happy here when I'm retired. ”
Ma Fen smiled:
"Hehe, your expedition is just the beginning, and you are starting to talk about retirement, let me tell you, you will retire at least thirty years later, thirty years later, do you know what will become of this place?"
"What? Isn't it the big rear of our traversers! Could it be that the Great Song Dynasty still wants to come with us for such a broken island with volcanoes and earthquakes! The Nanyang area is much better than here, even the Northwest Lea is better than this, the Great Song Dynasty can make a fuss in the Nanyang and Northwest Lea, don't hit the idea of Sakhalin, this Sakhalin Island should be our traverser's own place, our traverser does not compete with the Zhao family, but also helps him lay down a large piece of the country, after laying the country, he also retreats bravely, and comes back to operate his own land, we are heroes, and heroes can always have a piece of their own land! ”
"Reserved land, yes! This is a good statement, and I agree with it. However, Wen Bin, 80,000 square kilometers of self-reserved land, isn't it a little bigger! ”
Issain didn't seem to understand the word "self-reserved land", and looked at Ma Fen with some confusion.
Ma Fen then explained what self-reserved land is, let's tell you that self-reserved land is the product of the "people's commune" of the Celestial Dynasty in later generations. What the? You don't understand the "people's commune", okay, let me explain to you, the meaning of the people's commune is that all the land is returned to the commune - to the commune, and even once ate a big pot of rice in the commune canteen, at that time, the only little land left for the peasants was used to grow vegetables, and the scientific name was self-reserved land.
Issain finally understood, so she stuck out her tongue and said:
"Didn't you say that there would be no rebellion!"
Ma Fen laughed:
"No rebellion, no rebellion! Don't worry, when it comes to playing, Sakhalin will also be called a special zone here, just like Hong Kong in the future, ngkng, the country only garrisons troops, no matter the specifics, understand? ”
"You're saying that then this place will be like the NGKNG of the future, and we will manage it ourselves?" Issain kind of understood.
"Yes, that's it! Dear Isa Yin Meimei, there is always a way, we Chinese know how to be flexible. Liu Wenbin thinks that there are too many things she doesn't understand about Isa Yin in the cute state, she belongs to the cute family, and the questions are one after another, so let's stop, otherwise it will be endless.
Issain nodded, the Chinese seem to be like this, they can think of ideas that others can't think of. As a flight attendant, Issain has learned the power of Chinese in this regard on the plane.
Over time, after the pioneer team had built the camp, they began to expand the site further, and according to Ma Fen and Liu Wenbin's plan, in addition to the construction of wharves and basic roads, the planned industrial zone also began to be built.
During the month of August, the traversers organized two transports to Sakhalin Island, including cement and grain, and brought more than 500 mixed laborers from many countries from the Kra Isthmus.
Liu Wenbin is training his subordinates, forming an expedition fleet, and has begun sea trials of the Kuril Islands.
While supervising the work, Ma Fen is also offering a reward to the natives, hoping that the natives can provide information about the coal. Anyway, according to Ma Fen's meaning, as long as he finds a place with black stones, he can get ten bags of rice, one bag of refined salt, one bag of candy, and five sets of silk cotton clothes, which is a huge wealth for the natives.
Note: Chekhov's "Travels in Sakhalin" records that in 1858 the total number of Kyriaks (indigenous people of Sakhalin) was 3,270. About fifteen years later...... The number of Kiryaks in Sakhalin is estimated at less than fifteen hundred, and according to the latest 1887 materials, the total number of Kiryaks in the two districts is now only three hundred and twenty. (The Russians call Sakhalin Sakhalin)?
