The transportation of the Qingshui River Basin mainly relies on inland shipping, and the Tianshu City, Tianxuan Town, Tianji Town and Tianquan Town that have been built show a strong demand for transportation, which is the biggest opportunity for the development of inland waterway shipping.

In the early days, inland waterway shipping was mainly used to transport personnel and materials to newly built towns, and it was a one-way transportation of materials.

In particular, Tianshu City has developed very fast, and has been able to steadily produce a large number of rice, vegetables and fruits, pork and fresh poultry products, coupled with the development of the offshore fishing industry, it can continue to provide the main and sideline food needs for inland development, and no longer need to be transported from the outside, not only can it be self-sufficient, but can even supply Longmen Town with sufficient supply of rice, vegetables and vegetables.

This fully demonstrates the huge potential of farming and plantation economy in the Qingshui River Basin, and agricultural products based on rice, coffee, and cocoa tobacco can not only supply the whole of Shangri-La Island in the future, but also be sold back to Australia to supplement the growing food gap.

Huge freight demand, this is the Qingshui River Basin Qixing Town development of inland shipping opportunities, in Tianxuan Town, Tianji Town and Tianquan Town has entered a period of stable development, is expected from June, will produce a large number of agricultural and sideline products and poultry.

The two-way flow of materials between cities and towns is bound to strongly boost the demand for inland waterway shipping, which is the basis for the prosperity of today's inland waterway shipbuilding industry.

At least for the next decade or so

With the continued influx of immigrants and the deepening of development, this strong demand for transportation will not abate.

It is this that is seen

A large number of private capital has poured into the inland waterway shipping industry, and a one-stop industrial chain from shipbuilding to ship spare parts has been rapidly formed in Tianshu City, and the business is booming and thriving.

Australia is still mainly based on animal husbandry, and tens of thousands of hectares of land near Songjiang Town are not enough to solve the food problem of millions of people in Australia, and can only meet half of the needs.

The standards required to eat potatoes, rice and beef and mutton are very different, and according to the current agricultural production capacity, if the staple food is rice, almost 12 acres (3 acres of land) of arable land can feed an adult, and if beef and mutton are the staple food, this figure will be multiplied several times.

The in-depth development of the Qingshui River basin is the fundamental plan to solve the problem of the increasingly large migrant population, so it has attracted more and more attention from the Red Fort and given strong support for policies and funds.

It won't take a few years

Shangri-La Island can continue to export rice, tobacco, natural rubber, cane sugar, coffee, cocoa, copper concentrate and other special products to Australia, while Australia exports beef and mutton products, machinery and equipment, gas cookers, dairy products, tractors and salt chemical products, forming a two-way stable trade pattern.

This has played an important role in the economic prosperity of the two places, strengthening the overall economic power led by Queensland, while the Borneo plantation economy is more export-oriented, and the world market is far broader than imagined, which can easily accommodate the size of a Borneo plantation economy.

Don't say anything else

The demand for tobacco, coffee, cocoa, spices, and cane sugar in Europe and North America is almost endless, on the one hand, because of the needs of economic development, and on the other hand, because of the need for a high quality of life.

End of the 19th century

The world situation is generally stable, the countries of the world are at the end of the first steam industrial revolution, and ushered in the second industrial revolution represented by diesel engines and electricity, while the productivity is rapidly increasing at the same time, the economy is developing rapidly, and the corresponding people's living standards have been greatly improved.

The emergence of a large number of middle classes in Europe and the United States has expanded the world consumer market, and the current world economic development background is a great blessing for the Queensland economy.

On a simple wooden trestle in the bend

A total of 11 inland river vessels docked one by one in order, a large number of personnel and materials were transported to the shore on the shoulders of people, and the unloading of the ships took place for two full days, and 30 tractors were finally transported ashore, and the front of the vehicle and the trailer body were connected on the shore.

On the blackened site of Yuheng Town, dense and neat tents have been erected, and the personnel of each working group have been dispatched, which is about to kick off the prelude to the construction in full swing.

The same scenario has been repeated several times, and everything is going according to plan. The development headquarters of Yuheng Town was successfully established, and Wu Xuewen, the general manager, did not even hold any position in it, he only needed to sit in the town.

A group of assistants under him have already grown up and are responsible for the development of Yuheng Town.

Early the next morning

All the builders gathered on the empty town site, and the red flags fluttering in front of the various working groups were like soldiers marching out.

Wu Xuewen, the chief manager, stood on a temporary wooden platform and delivered an enthusiastic speech through a brass speaker, the content of which was nothing more than encouragement, encouragement and incitement, attracting bursts of warm applause.

The end of the speech

Wu Xuewen waved his hand and said;

“……

Brothers, friends, compatriots, I believe that history will remember this day.

We have come to the fertile wasteland that has not been cared for for millions of years, and with our hands and hard sweat, we have held up a new Yuheng town that will become a paradise for Chinese immigrants and colonists, living and multiplying on this land, and having a large number of children.

As the first generation of builders, your great achievements will be recorded in the history of the town, and your reputation will be passed down to future generations.

While we enjoy all this, we should never forget......

As lord of this vast land, this is the refuge of the merciful Earl, a sacred and solemn promise that will always exist today, tomorrow, and infinitely long into the future, and will be passed on to future generations.

Let us caress our right hand on our chest, close to our burning heart, and give thanks with a sincere heart, for all that the Earl has bestowed.

Land, water, freedom, a carefree and beautiful life, and sincerely wish the blessed well-being of the noble Earl, and the blessings of the Blessed Lord. ”

"I wish the Noble Earl the Blessed Sacrament and a lasting blessing."

More than 2,600 builders shouted in unison, and the sound spread far away and floated into the sky, resounding through the wasteland.

It was an exciting time and everyone was enthusiastic.

The final procedure is the groundbreaking ceremony, the chief manager Wu Xuewen dug the first spade next to the granite monument site, and the scene immediately firecrackers, gongs and drums were noisy, and the lively dragon and lion dance began.

The groundbreaking ceremony is at the end

Wu Xuewen shouted with a wave of his hand; "Now I declare; The construction of the fifth town of Qixing Town in the Qingshui River Basin, the construction of Yuheng Town will start from now on, and each engineering group will start ......"

Under the leadership of the red flag in front of the working groups, more than 2,600 builders rushed out and quickly rushed to their workplaces, and the hot, busy and noisy construction officially began.

The tractor fleet roared into the construction area and took the lead in leveling the land in Yuheng Town, first turning the land with deep ploughing machinery, which alone took a week for several kilometers of land.

After a few days of exposure, the land will be broken, raked, compacted, and lime lines will be used to draw roads and culverts, commercial and residential blocks, workshop blocks, dock warehouse areas, agricultural products trading areas, and so on.

These urban areas will be built step by step as planned.

The logging team drove directly into the deep forest and began to cut down large trees, cut off branches and drag them to the timber factory, and cut them into planks, squares, and sticks of different sizes through disc sawing, which were dried in the shade after exposure to the sun for later use.

The carpentry team took the lead in building sheds for the timber yard, finished timber warehouses, kitchen warehouses, corrals and chicken and duck sheds for the logistics group, temporary workshops for the headquarters, and temporary sheds for everyone.

The construction team began to build brick cellars, lime cellars, and wood drying kilns with the bricks and stones they brought, so as to prepare materials for the next big construction.

It is also necessary to build a stove for the logistics group and a sewer culvert for the town......

The burners carved out safe passages along the edge of the forest, prepared flammable gasoline and dry grass and dead wood, and prepared to set fire to it.

In tropical rainforest areas, there is no need to worry about the destruction of forest vegetation, and under the existing productivity conditions, burning and reclaiming arable land is more in shrubland areas and lowland swamps with vigorous vegetation, and will not affect large areas of forest.

Trees grow vigorously in tropical forests, and big trees cannot be reclaimed into fertile land, because the developed root system of big trees is deeply rooted, and if you want to dig out a tree root, 5~6 strong laborers have to dry for 2~3 days, how many big trees are there in an acre of forest land?

It makes people's scalps tingle when they think about it, this account is easy to calculate, and reclamation is not cost-effective at all.

The bushes are different from the lowland swamps where the vegetation is vigorous, and after setting fire to the wasteland, as long as the roots of some shrubs and weeds are raked out with an iron rake, crops can be planted and waiting for harvest, which is simple and trouble-free.

Build earthen dams in lowland swamp areas to block streams, and over time the swamps will naturally dry up.

Then it's the same set, after burning the wild grass, the land is turned deeply, exposed to the scorching sun for a week, the roots of the weeds and shrubs are raked out, and then the land is broken and raked, and the seeds of the crops can be sown and waiting for harvest.

Generally speaking

The lowland swamp area, which has accumulated countless grass and trees and leaves for tens of millions of years, is extremely rich in nutrients, and it is the best fertile land when it is reclaimed, and the yield per mu is much higher than that of ordinary fields.

The wharf construction team began to widen and strengthen the simple wooden trestle, the construction of the inland wharf is much simpler than the construction of the harbor wharf, there is no need to worry about the erosion of the tide and the acid mist on the seaside, and the reinforced wooden trestle can be used for many years.

The focus was on widening and reinforcing to accommodate the installation of dock handling equipment, leaving plenty of space on the trestle to facilitate the transportation of horse-drawn carts, ox carts and tractors, and thickening the planks to meet the needs.

The key is that the wharf construction team should build a warehouse in the port area to meet the increasing demand for materials in the later stage, whether it is flour, grain or other materials, they need a good storage environment, and stacking them in tents is not a long-term solution.

The survey team was divided into several routes, east, west, and south into the jungle, and their work was the most important; on the one hand, it was necessary to plan the next burning area for the burning group and carry out the orderly burning work.

On the one hand, it is necessary to survey the topography of bridges and roads to lay a good foundation for the next step of building bridges and roads, which is also the main basis for applying for construction funds.

On the other hand, it is necessary to plan the villages to provide a basis for migrants to move in.

To use an analogy;

Yuheng Town plans to reach 2,000 migrants in June, so based on an average of 400 people per administrative village, at least five village-level reclamation areas (except for forests and hard-to-cultivate mountainous areas) must be planned.

Otherwise, when the immigrants arrive, there is no suitable land to be cultivated, will it be raised in vain?

That's more than 2,000 people, how much does it cost to raise them for nothing?

Once there is such a serious mistake, it can be said that it is a serious dereliction of duty of the construction headquarters of Yuheng Town, and it is also a serious dereliction of duty of the survey team, which will be recorded on the resume, which is related to future promotion, salary increase and development, and no one dares to take it lightly.

Therefore, the survey team was led by two deputy commanders of the construction headquarters, each team was accompanied by more than 20 armed militiamen, and various drugs to prevent tropical diseases were prepared, and they went deep into the jungle to conduct surveys first.

Everything in Yuheng Town is advancing in an orderly manner, and the development plan of Qixing Town in the Qingshui River Basin has entered the middle stage of high-speed development.
