A month earlier, April 22, 1866, the port of Dar es Salaam.

Today, the immigrants from the First Town and the governor of the colony came to the port of Dar es Salaam to pick up the goods, and today there are more people dispatched.

"Old Qian, why did Master Kilman call us here today, usually their own people come to this place." One immigrant asked.

"How do I know? This chief told us to just do what we wanted, what so much nonsense. Old Qian said.

"Aren't I afraid, I'm finally getting enough to eat in the first town, what if I send us back to the Qing Kingdom!"

"Don't think about it, Lord Kilman also wants us to plant crops for them, the land here is so barren, and those natives are clumsy, they can't even farm, and Lord Kilman can't farm the land himself! So what are you afraid of? ”

The two of them were chatting when they saw several large ships appear on the sea level in the distance.

"Look at this posture, it can't be a new immigrant! We were brought by the big ship last time. ”

Old Qian shook his head: "Who knows, you will know when the ship arrives on the shore in a while." ”

Soon after, the Dutch merchant ship docked at the pier in the port of Dar es Salaam, and the Dutch opened the fence next to the ship, laid the planks, and an unloading channel several meters wide appeared.

The German governor began to direct the migrants to board the ship to unload the cargo, and with the lead of the prefect, the migrants once again boarded the familiar ship, and the migrants finally saw the cargo on board.

"This is a horse, this is a cow!" The person who was talking to Lao Qian just now was surprised.

"Shall I just say? Such a good land should always raise some livestock, and the grass near the first town grows so well, these natives will not plant or raise livestock. ”

Lao Qian said in disgust: "The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, why are you still scolded!" That's called livestock. ”

"It's all the same, it's all the same, we can't say anything good, there's no culture, right? Haha......" laughed awkwardly.

"Don't laugh, don't come and take a hand, drive the cattle!"

……

After a busy meal, the cattle and horses were finally driven off the boat, and the immigrants of First Town began to drive them in the direction of First Town.

The German prefect seemed to have been prepared, and he did not know where to get the saddle and bridle and put it on a horse.

As a veteran European cavalryman, Del finally found the feeling of galloping on the field this time.

He took the horse imported from Russia and tried his skills on the open field, and the horse was docile and carried Del for two laps on the flat ground.

In recent days, because of Prussia's preparations for war, Prussian mules and horses have been regulated, and export is even more impossible.

Therefore, Ernst deliberately imported hundreds of horses from Russia, and horse farming is prevalent in Europe, so there are many horses in various countries, and the Eastern European part of Russia is already rich in horses, and there are vast steppes in Central Asia and the Far East suitable for raising horses.

Ernst sent men to Russia to buy horses, and then set off from the Baltic Sea and sent them to the East African colonies via Dutch merchant ships, and pulled a herd of cattle along the way.

The Netherlands is a big country in animal husbandry, which is the primary industry of agriculture and the second is flower cultivation.

At present, Ernst has no way to improve the mechanization of the East African colonies, and at present, Europe is still using animal power, and steam agricultural machinery is somewhat marketable, but steam agricultural machinery is expensive, large in size, and not very efficient.

So Ernst wanted to start some breeding in the colonies to provide some animal power for the future, there were no domesticated large animals in Africa, African animals were wild, and the natives lived on hunting, and the animals everywhere were the source of food for the natives, although it was dangerous, but the abundant resources made these tribes lack the consciousness to improve their productivity.

……

The immigrants drove the cattle and horses back to the first town, and so many cattle successfully attracted the attention of the townspeople.

The sheriff began to order the immigrants to build horse pens and cattle pens, and at the same time recruited some experienced immigrants to take care of the breeding.

The site of the farm is five or six miles from the town, between the first and third towns.

There is a meadow where the settlers set up camp and drove their cattle and horses into it with wooden fences.

"It's all good cows! In the past, the cattle in the hometown could only be raised by the landlord's family. ”

"This horse is not bad, I have seen a horse ridden by a big official in my life, and a fat-headed and big-eared official sits on it, and his soldiers follow him."

"You're talking about the court beating long hair!"

"That's right, that's what those soldiers said, before leaving, they robbed a few cows from the landlord's house in our village, saying that it was requisitioned by the imperial court, which was more ruthless than bandits, and the landlord's family can usually guard the Zhuangzi, and there is a bandit near us called King Ermazi, who usually doesn't dare to go to Wang Laoyezhuang, but the soldiers of the court came, and his family didn't even dare to let go of a fart, and he usually bullied and bullied us ordinary people."

"Phew, it's not a good thing, dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair, why doesn't God take such a beast, it's really eyeless!"

"Alas, fortunately, the year before last, Master Yang came to recruit workers, and there was no way to live at that time, so he thought about making a living, so he got on the boat, and I really didn't dare to think about it now!"

"Who's to say it isn't! My family is also a disaster, my two brothers are starving to death, I have to wait for Master Kilman, I survived, without those dog officials and landlord bastards, now life is better, Lord Kilman is talking and counting, really give food! ”

"If you want me to say that the Qing Dynasty is going to be finished, I have long heard Xiucai in the village say that the court can't beat the foreigners, and the land is ceded every year to pay compensation, these grandsons don't treat us as people, and someone will clean them up."

"Alas, it's hard to say, those foreigners, what are the British chickens, the flange chickens are on our land, and the official master doesn't eat and drink spicy food as well? The compensation we want is not apportioned to us! I heard that as soon as the south loses the war, it will have to raise taxes several times, what is it called war repayment, something like a dog, harmful to people! ”

"This is why we don't eat in the Qing Kingdom now, and we don't have those black-hearted lords on our heads, they all say that foreigners are terrible, this Kilman is usually a little fierce, but the intestines are cleaner than those black-hearted Qing officials."

"Alas, speaking of Ah, Feika (Africa) is good at everything, eats well, wears well, but there are too few mothers-in-law, and those indigenous black ones can't be seen, and so many of us bachelors don't know if we can get a daughter-in-law in this life."

"I know all day long, you can't even eat in the Qing Kingdom, which mother-in-law takes a fancy to you and lives a hard life with you?"

"Am I not thinking about the big things in my life? Think about it, after a few years of development, we can return to the Qing Kingdom, won't we get a daughter-in-law? When the time comes, the family will give birth to a litter of dolls here. ”

"That can't be! Can Master Kilman let us go back? ”

"You don't understand this, do you? I know that there is a governor from Kilman in the town, and he is also our Chinese, and he has a foreign name called Pierce Lee, and he can talk to people."

"He said that he is a graduate of the Black Heart Root Military Academy, and our land here belongs to the Black Xinggen Principal, this principal is terrible, and he is a relative of the emperor's family in the Great Qing Kingdom."

"I've also heard that Chief Pierce Lee was favored by Master Kilman at a young age and went to study at Kilman, so he was able to come to us as an official."

"That's what Chief Pierce Lee said, we are all Gu workers of Heixingen Company, that is, long-term workers, after working for 20 years, you can choose your life, whether you stay in Ah Feika or return to Qingguo, you can choose by yourself, and Chief Pierce Li also said that the few pieces of paper sent to us every month can't be lost, that is the Kilman Yinyang sent to us, and you can exchange money at the money bank in Qingguo."

"A few pieces of paper can be exchanged for money?"

"You don't understand this, do you? This is the money used by the foreign lord, it can be exchanged for silver in the Qing country, if the Qing country does not recognize the foreign lord, but it will beat those masters, a few years ago, the British chicken and the French chicken soldiers heard that they all entered the Forbidden City and sat on the dragon chair, and also burned the emperor's garden, what is it called the Old Summer Palace, and finally the queen mother and the emperor also lost a sum of money to the foreign lord. ”

"If that's the case, I'm going to keep those pieces of paper, before Master Kilman sent it to me, there was a foreigner's head printed on it, I thought it was something important and didn't dare to lose it, but I didn't expect it to be money, but I want to put it away, and use it to marry a daughter-in-law in the future."

"Wang Laohan, you are forty years old and still want to marry a daughter-in-law? Twenty years from now, how old you will be. ”

"What's wrong with marrying a daughter-in-law, I've never tasted it in my life! When you get old, find an old daughter-in-law, as long as you have money, you can't find anything. ”

"You're right......"

The immigrants talk about the past, the present and the future, and their eyes are full of hope for a happy life.
