The project of the Yinzhou Canal was finalized by Zhu Jingyuan, so a large number of subsequent matters that needed to be decided were directly transferred to Zhu Jingyuan to continue to deal with them.

The report written by Zhu Dijin was quite detailed, and Zhu Jingyuan could see that Zhu Dijin wanted to keep these workers.

Unlike the officials of the Ming court, the treasurer of the Huangzhuang system did not have a three-, six-, or nine-year term limit.

They have the opportunity to work in one position for more than 10 years.

The heart of Panama Huangzhuang is obviously the Yinzhou Canal.

But Judy Jin now has a million laborers and doesn't seem to be very satisfied with simply running the canal.

He wanted to do some farming and industrial projects in Panama.

That's why he wanted to keep these laborers.

Zhu Jingyuan instinctively wanted to refuse.

Among these laborers were mainly Hispanic Tessians, as well as Yin people who embraced Catholicism.

Zhu Jingyuan didn't want the Taixi people to stay on his land.

Hispanics, who are Catholics, are more conservative than those of English and Germans.

At the same time, I also know that the original historical Yinzhou Catholics were more radical than those of Taixi.

Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan did not want them to stay in the vassal country of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if you have to stay, you can't stay in Panama.

Panama is such an important place that the main population of Panama must be the Ming people.

Otherwise, this kind of place will not be truly stable in the future.

Now there are only more than 200,000 Ming people in the local area, but there are more than one million Tessians and Catholic Yin people in total.

The Taixi and Yin people of this world were very obedient under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming people of this era took it for granted that it would be very reasonable for 200,000 Ming people to manage one million other people.

The Ming people could all be officials and managers, and let the Taisi and Catholic Yin people be low-level laborers.

But Zhu Jingyuan's memories of his past life made Zhu Jingyuan instinctively worry about whether these people would cause all kinds of incidents in the future.

When the Ming Dynasty is strong, they shouldn't do anything out of the ordinary.

But when there are internal problems in the Ming Dynasty, they will probably not be able to keep to themselves.

In Zhu Jingyuan's view, if these people are left behind, they will become a stone under the tide of the current prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

When the tide of prosperity falls, it will be exposed, and then all kinds of problems will arise.

Based on the psychology of prevention before it happens, it is impossible for Zhu Jingyuan to allow all of them to stay.

After careful consideration, Zhu Jingyuan instructed his secretary to write a formal response to Zhu Dijin.

The 200,000 laborers who had already obtained the status of feudal nationals could stay, and all the remaining foreign laborers were evacuated.

In the areas around Panama, where there is a need for low-level labor, it can be dispersed and arranged.

It is not allowed to be sent to work in factories, and can only be used for outdoor engineering construction such as hydropower stations, waterway dredging, and dam construction.

However, their status was no longer prisoner of war laborers, but all of them were changed to foreign wage laborers, and they were given corresponding wages and treatment.

Those who could not be arranged were sent to Spanish Mexico in the north.

If the Panamanian region wants to develop its own industry, if it needs more laborers, it can hire the naturalized Yin people of Xintianfu, or the naturalized people of the vassal areas around the Ming Dynasty.

As much as possible, do not use Tessians and Catholic Yin.

Zhu Jingyuan's response was soon sent by telegram to the other side of the ocean.

In the treasurer's office in Panama City, where the Panama Royal Estate Management Office is located, Judy Jin received a report from the secretary.

Zhu Dijin sat at his desk and carefully read Zhu Jingyuan's telegram:

"Your Highness really doesn't want these foreigners to stay, and that Rausch monotheistic religion is really worrying......"

Zhu Dijin sighed softly, and then went to the opposite office to find the chief engineer Wang Jinpeng:

"Lao Wang, His Highness's response is here."

Wang Jinpeng asked directly:

"Your Highness shouldn't let those Xiyi and religious Yin people stay, right?"

Zhu Dijin handed the telegram to Wang Jinpeng:

"Yes, it is not allowed to stay, those who are in need of those projects around can now start to contact and arrange.

"The rest of the money that can't be used up, all the ...... give to Mexico"

Wang Jinpeng carefully read the telegram, and then looked up and asked Zhu Dijin:

"Big treasurer, don't you want to ask Your Highness for advice again?"

Zhu Dijin shook his head directly:

"We all know His Highness's character, and we all know that His Highness doesn't like to use Xiyi.

"When His Royal Highness has already made arrangements, it is really thankless to deliberately apply for the continued use of Xiyi.

"If you don't have any concerns, you can apply yourself, I can't ask again."

The two have been working together for more than five years and are already very familiar with each other.

Wang Jinpeng said very brilliantly at this time:

"I won't ask, my task is project naturalization and construction management.

"How to arrange the workers after the completion of the project, and it has nothing to do with me?

"Those are your own business, so I won't touch His Highness's mold."

Wang Jinpeng stood up as he spoke, and went to the workbench next to him to open his engineering drawings:

"Since most of the workers are going to be evacuated, the middle part of the river can be evacuated now......

"Hydropower stations are being built everywhere in South Yinzhou, and North Yinzhou will continue to dredge the waterways of the Honey River and the Great Lakes region.

"The 600,000 people we want to release look like a lot, and if we disperse, it will not be conspicuous."

Judy Jin sighed faintly:

"Hey, that's right, large hydropower stations have a long construction period, and these people can still use them for a few years......"

The two chatted for a while, and then began to formally plan and arrange the follow-up work.

Adjust the tasks of the workers in a targeted manner, and begin to transfer the surplus labor to the periphery.

The main ones are the construction of the hydropower station in South Yinzhou and the river repair in North Yinzhou.

Time flows forward unhurriedly, and the finishing work of the Yinzhou Canal project has been completed one after another.

Zhu Dijin and Wang Jinpeng's accounting and management were very successful, and by the end of June of the tenth year of Daming Ankang, the Yinzhou Canal was finally fully completed.

Hundreds of thousands of workers who did not have Panamanian national status have now been sent out.

The banks of the canal, which had been busy for five years, finally completely calmed down.

Only the workers who had attained the status of a vassal state in Panama were left to work in the fields on both sides of the canal and continue to work on the construction site in Panama City.

Zhu Dijin and Wang Jinpeng held a grand completion ceremony in front of the remaining tens of thousands of Ming and foreign laborers at the site.

At the same time as reporting to the Ming Emperor and the central court, it was also transmitted all over the world through radio waves.

From Daming to Taixi, all types of newspapers rushed to report after receiving the news.

Some Tessie newspapers saw this incident as a sign that humanity had finally conquered the seas completely.

The Western Sea Canal connects the Atlantic Ocean directly with the Little Western Ocean in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Yinzhou Canal connects the Daming Ocean with the Atlantic Ocean in the Northern Hemisphere.

The oceans of the northern hemisphere, where the core of human civilization is located, are finally connected.

At the same time, the spirit of the Ming people has also reached a new level.

However, Zhu Jingyuan himself didn't care much about this matter.

The information that Zhu Jingyuan handles every day is mainly the affairs of this area that he is responsible for.

In the western and northern parts of the Ming Dynasty, the construction of major cities such as Xianbei, Kazakh, Khiva, and Persia has been completely rolled out.

A large number of rural and small town populations are rapidly converging into several major cities.

The general examination pass system and the ticket purchase restriction system are being carried out in an orderly manner.

The Ming royal family and the royal family of Taixi jointly funded and jointly built two royal trading companies on sea and land have been formally established.

Rail lines in countries that are already very close to each other are also being connected at an accelerated pace.

It is expected that by the end of this year, the railway service across the entire Shenou continent will be officially in operation.

At the same time, after almost a year of construction and preparation, the development of the Tyumen oil field in the Xianbei Principality was finally on the right track.

Two major oil-producing areas have been identified and are entering the ramp-up phase.

With the support of Zhu Jingyuan, the construction of an oil pipeline from the Tyumen oil field to the northwest of Daming has also begun.

The Volga-Ural oil field in Lucia has also begun production.

On this side of the border between Lucia and the Principality of Daming Xianbei, the exploration team did discover the possibility of the existence of oil and gas resources.

However, the actual production results are very poor, and the wells drilled so far have not been able to recover their costs.

Zhu Jingyuan had long expected this, and in order to prevent Lucia's mentality from being overly resentful, he was investing in the construction of a petrochemical plant in the free trade zone on the border between the two countries.

It is ready to use the petroleum developed by Daming and Lucia as a raw material to produce various plastics and rayon.

In addition, a textile mill was built to produce clothing from synthetic fibers.

If the Lucia people make a big fuss in the future, they will merge some factories that do not involve key technologies into the name of the joint venture.

At the same time, Lucia has actually begun to be suspicious.

When the news of the completion of the Yinzhou Canal spread all over the world, Emperor Nicholas of Lucia looked at the news in the newspaper and once again thought of the border free trade zone and oil development business in cooperation with the Ming Dynasty.

Nikolai frowned and thought about it for a while, a little irritable, so he called Wademeyer over.

Again, the question that has been asked several times:

"The border between Daming and Lucia, the Daming side of the Urals, will there really be no oil?"

Wedemeyer has also been asked several times, and is now a little grumpy:

"Even if Your Majesty asks so, I can only say, not at all.

"At least a little has been dug up so far, but none of them are worth continuing to develop.

"But if you want to say that there is, that bit of oil can't recover the cost of drilling at all, it's a pure waste of money."

Nikolai was very entangled and said:

"However, as we all know, Prince Dashi is also known as the Prince of Oil.

"The places he circled were places where oil was very abundant.

"The Persian Gulf and the oil lake are the masterpieces of Prince Dashi, and now there are Tyumen oil fields in the territory of Xianbei country.

"So is there a possibility that Prince Oshi knows where there is oil, and he must know where there is no oil.

"A deliberate request to cooperate with us in the development of the Volga-Urals oil and gas region must also require a proportional distribution of proceeds.

"It's hard to believe that he didn't know there wasn't much oil in the area before he signed the contract.

"If he knows that there is not much oil in the area, he is deliberately cheating us of our oil resources and revenues......

"Shall we protest to Daming? Request to modify the cooperation agreement? ”

Wademeyer hesitated for a moment:

"I don't think there's a need to be in such a hurry, in the oil exploration industry, half a year is really not a long time.

"Daming has indeed found oil over there, but the amount is too small, so we have to continue to observe.

"My suggestion is to continue to wait for half a year, and by the end of the year, Daming still hasn't found enough oil resources, so we should propose to revise the agreement."

When Wademeyer said this, Nikolai was a little worried again:

"Will Da Ming accept it? Will Da Ming be annoyed and angry? ”

Wademeyer said:

"I don't think so, as long as we don't have to directly terminate the cooperation office, otherwise Daming shouldn't turn his face.

"We should have the opportunity to be compensated with some additional conditions."

Nikolai didn't dare to confront Daming now, so he had nothing to say now:

"Then wait a little longer......"

Time passed, and the end of the decade of health soon arrived.

Zhu Jingyuan began to summarize what he had done in the past two years and briefly summarized himself.

Not long after the New Year's Day, Zhu Jingyuan received a private telegram from the French Crown Prince Charles.

"My most sincere friend, I tell you now that I will officially succeed to the throne on the second day of February in the 11th year of the Great Ming Calendar.

"At that time, I will have a grand naval parade in France.

"I very much look forward to your participation in the celebration and parade with the Ming warship.

"Of course, I wouldn't mind if my best friend was too busy to come in person.

"Your sincerest friend, Louis Charles of France."

When Zhu Jingyuan saw this short telegram, he immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Charles has finally decided to officially succeed to the throne, and he will continue to suffer more than continue to suffer with your father

"But if you engage in this parade and let the Ming warship go, you may be dominant!

"Daming's 60,000-ton battleship has been commissioned at the end of this year, and it is just right to attend next year's ceremony.

"But if you look at it from another angle, I will arrange for the largest warship of the Ming Dynasty to go over, and I will also give you another identity platform.

"So it should be deliberately high......

"Besides, I was going to go directly to the Taixi countries to run a lap after the 60,000-ton warship was completed.

"It's a pity that I can't go myself, so I can only arrange for my secretary to go."

Zhu Jingyuan no matter what Xia Er thinks, the arrangement on his side is very simple.

Directly arrange two 60,000-ton capital ships, with four 40,000-ton capital ships, plus one cruiser.

Take the main battleship, which is larger than the entire fleet of France's own navy.

I went to visit the Tessie countries, and by the way, I also saw the actual situation of the new warships in the Tessy countries.
