Compared with the peers of this era, it took twenty or thirty years, or even longer, to establish a level of colonization overseas, and the colonization speed of Haihan is enough to be proud of its competitors of the same era.

From the early days of cross-sea colonization of the Black Earth Port and the Pearl River Estuary, the colonial planning of the Haihan Dynasty has been rapidly improved and strengthened in practice. How to choose and plan a settlement, how to build a colonial settlement from scratch, how to make it possible to achieve basic self-sufficiency in a short period of time and produce profitable output in the future, and how to effectively integrate it into the administrative system of Haihan have all been difficult problems for competitors in other countries, and Haihan has relied on the accumulation of nearly 400 years of experience to overcome them one by one.

How to quickly determine a suitable place to colonize in an unfamiliar overseas environment is undoubtedly Haihan's strength. Other competitors need to spend years of hard work, even countless possessions and the cost of many lives, before they can find a suitable place to settle in the vast unknown world, while the top management of Haihan only needs to look at the satellite map in the computer database, call out the famous port cities in the future one by one, compare them and weigh their own needs and actual operation difficulties, and then choose the most suitable place to diǎn.

Due to the limitations of natural conditions and means of transportation, the population of the early colonists who arrived in Diǎn was often very limited, and it took a long time to build a place to live on. During this period, the subsequent supply of materials is likely to be intermittent due to the long sea distance, which greatly slows down the construction process of the entire colony. Some colonists were even too far away from their base camps, and the immigrants who moved to the area were more like exiled prisoners, who could only rely on the most primitive farming, animal husbandry and fishing for a long time, without any additional output, let alone make a profit to expand the size of the colony through guò trade.

The planning and implementation of Haihan's ability to plan and implement it in the colonial process can almost beat the competitors of the same era, and every time before opening a new colony, the relevant departments have already made corresponding plans, such as the number of immigrants to be resettled in the early stage, the design and construction of infrastructure projects, the subsequent supply and supply, as well as security and regional functions, and so on.

(3) dǐng (3) diǎn (3) 小 (3) said, .⊕.∷os_ (); Because the Haihan has more detailed geographical information in his hands, the development of each new colonial diǎn is with a strong purpose, either the local area has rich developable resources, such as Heitu Port, Shilu and other places, or it is a more important waterway hub, such as Wanshan Port, which was occupied in the Pearl River Estuary in the early days, and Hong Kong Island, which was later controlled by Haihan, and there is also a very superior port conditions, and it is simply sorry for oneself if you don't occupy it first, such as Cam Ranh Port in Annan and Kaohsiung Port in Tainan, which is about to be developed.

This kind of colonial development process with a strong purpose is much more clever than the competitor's kind of colonization that spreads a net everywhere and most of the time is for the purpose of land occupation, and the concentrated use of resources makes the early construction process of Haihan colonization diǎn will be compressed to a very short period of time, and the immigrants do not need to worry about future livelihood problems after arriving in the local area, and the relevant departments have already made planning arrangements for them. Since it is an island like the Ambuna Islands, which is isolated in the South China Sea and does not have many natural resources to exploit, the Ministry of Agriculture has also prepared a wide variety of tropical cash crop planting projects for it, and the benefits brought by this output in the future are still worth looking forward to.

The problem brought about by the long sea voyage is not only the slow transmission of information, but also the misunderstanding and contradiction between the colony and the suzerain, the colony and the colony, and some irreconcilable problems will easily arise after a long time. The Haihan also has a unique advantage in this regard, the radio station is an artifact that is enough to allow the Haihan to maintain a relatively smooth information exchange system between the colonies, and in various fields such as politics, economy, and military, the colonies can use this means to maintain a sense of belonging and obedience to the Haihan.

Based on the technological advantages and the accumulation of geographical data that transcended the times, it is not difficult to understand the proud achievements made by Haihan in the development and construction of the colony. Although Li Nai has a limited understanding of the various black technologies in Haihan's hands, he has witnessed the continuous expansion of Haihan in recent years, and he also has personal feelings about it.

Not to mention the distant Annan, the Wanshan Port at the mouth of the Pearl River and the Zhennan Port after the two ports developed by the Haihan, the Li family was involved in it, and Li Nai went to these two places more than ten times and eight times, and he was already very familiar with how the Haihan people developed and built a port-based colony.

Li Nai had no choice but to ask a head-on question: "It's easy to say that you want to invest money and people in it, but you just blew the scale of the port development so big, can you give a rough range first, and how much you need to throw into it in the early stage to be qualified to play together on the table? ”

"It's good enough to be on the table this time...... There won't be more than five in one province!" Schneider casually said a number that shocked Li Nai, but he immediately continued: "But if you don't have enough strength, you can't participate, you can invest in the form of a group!"

"Set up an investment company?" Li Nai has been playing with the Haihan people for a few years, and naturally knows the most preferred operation method adopted by Schneider and others.

"That's right. Schneider said: "This port on Taiwan Island is different from that in other places, and since the Executive Committee has decided to open a port and build a port in the local area, it is safe to make a diǎn appearance." Because of the large scale of the local port, it is necessary to consider the convenience of future management from the planning period. It is also much easier for us to gather small and medium-sized businessmen together and manage them with a signboard. ”

In the form of a joint-stock company, the Ming businessmen were organized to invest in new projects in the new area under the rule of Haihan, which was nothing new. As for the investment effect, it can only be said that who uses it knows, just look at the current situation of more than a dozen shareholders of "Qiong Lianfa". After that, Haihan organized similar investments in Danzhou, Haikou City, Annan, Hong Kong Island and other places, and the ones who threw the most money into it were the "Qiong Lianfa" investors who first tasted the sweetness.

However, this model will still expose some institutional defects after a long time, such as after the emergence of new investment projects, they will often be fully covered by businesses like "Qiong Lianfa", and it is difficult for new investors who originally intended to squeeze out a position from it, and finally have to give up this kind of in-depth cooperation with Haihan. As a result, in some recent investment projects, Haihan has to clearly limit the amount of shares held by commercial giants like "Qiong Lianfa", and at the same time organize small and medium-sized businesses to set up new investment companies, so as to allow more businesses to participate in Haihan's projects.

Commercial organizations such as "Qionglianfa" mainly invest in large-scale plantations with stable income and long return periods, while infrastructure facilities such as exclusive wharves are basically invested by individual businesses themselves. The reason for this is also very simple, some businesses do not have their own shipping companies, and their own business is not mainly based on shipping, so the benefits of investing in terminal infrastructure are relatively small. A business like the Li family has involved all aspects of large merchants, and being able to have their own exclusive wharves in each port will undoubtedly bring great convenience to the transportation and trade of their own business.

However, the cost of building the wharf is huge, especially to meet the level required by Haihan port management, it is necessary to use a large amount of cement produced by Haihan, and it is necessary to assemble various large equipment produced by Haihan to load and lift goods, as well as lay rapid transfer tracks, etc., and the cost of the entire infrastructure project is not affordable for every business. If the merchants are pulled out separately, Schneider's statement is not an exaggeration, and there are not too many merchants who can afford the cost of building the wharf alone.

How the Haihan people change the rules of the game is secondary, Li Nai just needs to make sure that he can continue to play. The purpose of his rush from Guangzhou to Sanya this time was to make sure that he would not be left aside and unable to participate in the next game of Haihan. To be able to get a definite answer from Schneider, in fact, the specific investment measures and implementation steps are secondary, for the Li family, the question can be completely simplified into how much investment, the rate of return and the length of the return period, and the Haihan people have never treated the Li family badly in these aspects, Li Nai is very relieved about this.

When Li Nai was leaving, Schneider also wrote him a note and asked him to take the note to the Ministry of Communications to take a telegram back to Guangzhou. Li Nai took the note to the Ministry of Communications, and then drafted a long telegram and sent it out, spending him more than 100 yuan in circulation coupons. The idea was to ask the family in Guangzhou to quickly find the place needed for the newspaper in the local area, and then start preparing the manpower to participate in the new colony project that Haihan was about to begin. Of course, out of secrecy, Li Nai did not mention in the telegram where Haihan's new colonial project would be located.

After receiving Li Nai's telegram notification from the Guangzhou side, it was probably Li Jifeng who personally took over the matter, and only three days later received a call back, saying that the required newspaper office space had been prepared, just outside the east gate of Guangzhou, on the bank of the Pearl River, and only 100 meters away from the compound of the Haihan Office in Guangzhou. The Li family moved so quickly that Ningqi had wondered if they had quietly bought all the land and properties around the Guangzhou Office. After Li Nai received a reply from Guangzhou, he left Sanya with confidence and returned north by boat.

On December 11, a small fleet of eleven ships left the port of Sanya and headed north. Aside from the red and blue zigzag Haihan flags flying from the mast, the fleet looks like a merchant fleet sailing to and from the sea, but it is carrying about 700 immigrants who will be the first to settle on the island, and they will be the first to be resident there. In addition to carrying these migrants, the ballast cargo was full of various supplies so that the migrants could survive the difficult period at the beginning of the landing.

Three days after the departure of this fleet, another fleet also sailed out of the Causeway Bay Pier on Hong Kong Island, also destined for Tainan. Some of the passengers of this fleet were about 300 new immigrants recently recruited by Guangzhou, and the other part was a construction team of more than 80 people secretly organized by the Li family, whose task was to help build houses, docks, and other infrastructure in the area.

On 16 December, a flotilla of five combat vessels and two integrated supply vessels sailed out of Magong Port in Penghu and headed southeast in the name of maritime training. The flotilla's goal, like the first two fleets, was the port of Kaohsiung in Tainan, and its mission was to provide armed escort to the migrant camps in the early days of their arrival, while also maintaining law and order.

On the 17th and 18th, two fleets from Hainan and Guangdong, respectively, also arrived at the predetermined sea area one after another, and under the guidance of the warships that arrived in advance, they slowly sailed into the harbor of Kaohsiung Port. The last time the Haihan militia came here to investigate, they had already selected the main landing place Diǎn, which was located on the coast near the mouth of the Love River in Kaohsiung in later generations. The militia troops, who arrived early, have landed ashore and deployed several groups of patrols within a radius of about one kilometre on the perimeter to ensure that they will not be attacked by surprise from the outside. Although the terms had been negotiated with the local indigenous people during the last visit, no one could guarantee that the natives would abide by the agreements reached before, and the necessary deployment of troops was also to prevent trouble.

The settlers spent the first few days of their landing in large marching tents that could accommodate twenty people, and their task at this stage was to level the base, dig drainage ditches, water tanks, and build infrastructure such as toilets. It was not until the fourth day that the migrants, under the command of craftsmen, transported the prefabricated wooden planks and other components unloaded from the ship to the predetermined site of Diǎn, where they began to assemble and build houses. This kind of prefabricated house is mainly based on the previous ideas, taking the boat-shaped house of the Li nationality as the shape reference, and the structure is more improved, using a large number of prefabricated parts to simplify the process of building the house. Seven or eight skilled craftsmen can build a new boat-shaped house that can accommodate eight to ten people in a day or two.
