Chapter 272 A wall that shields the wind and rain
August 15th is a day for family reunion, but in fact there are too many people who are not at home this day.
For example, Zhu Wo, he set out again for Nanyang.
Since its first trip to Southeast Asia, this is Zhu Wo's fourth time. Chinese hard sails can wind from all directions, and they are not as good as Western soft sails, which can only travel north and south while taking advantage of the monsoon.
Even if it was against the wind, Zhu Wo could still cross the vast sea road with two big red boats, at most it took more time. When the wind was smooth, half a month became one month, or even more than a month.
So it is not uncommon to travel three times in a year.
Even if it weren't for the fact that they needed to prepare enough time to process the goods - because they were new to the country and had no foundation in Nanyang, the goods needed to be sold a little bit, and the warehouse would take time to build it - it wouldn't be uncommon for Zhu Wo to travel four times a year.
Because they are now only involved in the business roads between Fujian and Guangdong and Borneo, and do not go to Malay, Little Luzon or Batavia.
This will of course greatly reduce their profits. After all, the price of buying spices in Pontianak is more expensive than that in Batavia.
Moreover, Lan Fang, who controls Pontianak, is all Chinese, and has to lower the price of the goods sent by Zhu Wo. This reduction of two or more will inevitably seriously affect the profits of the transaction.
However, the goods brought by Zhu Wo and the others are also quite popular.
Whether it is iron pots, axes, small hardware and other iron tools, or pens, inkstones, cloths, medicines, tea, etc., it is absolutely popular in Pontianak.
This is conducive to establishing a close relationship with Zhu Wo and Lan Fang, because the latter also needs to make money.
Zhu Wo and his friends transported domestic goods to Pontianak, with high quality and low price, which represents the interests, which is the interests that Zhu Wo and his friends took the initiative to give out. Whether the latter is used by themselves or bought in Batavia or Malay, they will benefit a lot.
Therefore, Zhu Wo bought land and established a store in Pontianak. Even when he arrived in Pontianak for the third time, he met Lan Fang's second-person Jiang Wubo.
Therefore, Zhao Liang asked him to build a plantation in Lanfang Land and was successfully completed.
The land in Pontianak is not worth anything at all. As long as you don’t want to buy cooked land, there are large open spaces outside the city waiting for people to develop.
During this fourth trip to Nanyang, Zhu Wo's team was no longer two big red single ships, but four big red single ships. All the profits of the sea trade were invested by Zhao Liang in shipbuilding and purchasing cannons.
But the cargo loaded by the four big red ships was no different from before, because they also loaded a lot of people.
The place in eastern Guangdong is truly crowded with few people. At the end of the Kangxi reign, the population was only 60 million, but by now it had exceeded 20 million. Not only did Yong Laosi’s contributions come here, but also the contributions of foreign species such as sweet potatoes and potatoes.
But no matter what, the situation of eastern Guangdong with many people and few land has forced countless people to make another way to make a living.
A trip to Southeast Asia like Luo Fangbo is an ordinary choice for the people along the eastern coast of Guangdong.
The four big red ships carried more than 500 people, all of which were young and strong men and women. They were the first batch of workers in Zhao Liang's Nanyang Manor.
Like Zhu Wo and others, these people do not have Mid-Autumn Festival.
Moreover, aren’t the situation they face more sad than Zhao Liang who left home to the north at the end of July? Not only do they have to be far away during the days of reunion with their families, but they also have to face countless hardships and hardships in the coming days.
Although the temperature in eastern Guangdong is warm, humid and rainy, it seems nothing compared to Nanyang.
Of course, the adaptability of these more than 500 men and women will definitely be far more than that of the north, but even so, it is inevitable that people will die of illness.
Of course, the people sent by Zhao Liang will strictly demand their hygiene and living habits? Even since these people are recruited? They have been receiving education from the preachers.
——In Nanyang, if you want to live safely? Strict and tidy hygiene and living habits are essential.
It's just doing your best.
Just to avoid such a thing as much as possible? But people are destined to be unavoidable.
In addition to learning a series of rules and regulations on the farm and living hygiene regulations, these men and women also need to do their best to speak Mandarin.
Otherwise? Everyone can speak dialect one by one, which is too unfavorable for future development.
Zhao Liang's arrangement for them is not just farm construction? That is a series of plans. For men and women, the importance of speaking Mandarin is no less than that of rules and regulations and living hygiene regulations.
The people of the Zhao family will also give scores to men and women one by one. Whoever has a higher score will be the grassroots leader after arriving in Pontianak, and whoever can choose a wife/husband first.
Ninety-nine out of the more than 500 men and women are unmarried men and women? Or are they without wives and husbands? It is inevitable to get married and start a family. But how to get married and get married, whoever comes first and who will come later is a big deal.
For example, those with high scores have the right to get married first, as long as they can see each other? Then they can get married. After marriage, the farm will have certain preferential treatment, just like a house? Can single dormitories be the same as single-household houses?
Just this one can pave the way for marriage.
In short, it is a purpose to mobilize the enthusiasm of immigrant men and women to the greatest extent? Mobilize their vitality so that they can better build farms? �
Taking over the magpie's nest? Or resurrecting the soul by borrowing a corpse.
Zhao Liang had great expectations for the Nanyang incident? Lan Fang was just a starting point for him and a key to his Nanyang plan to take off, but it was definitely not the final destination.
In the next ten years, Zhao Liang will migrate the population here little by little, reclaim the land, and expand his own strength.
When the time is ripe, he will use this as a point to radiate to the surroundings, such as Lijiapo, which is still desolate now.
The place had excellent geographical advantages, but was not valued by the natives at all. Even the Dutch and the British, these shrewd colonists were not careful.
This is Zhao Liang's opportunity to take advantage of it. He can use money to buy there from the Johor Kingdom.
It is entirely possible to build your own city, open up your own port there, and at the same time form your own armed forces to turn it into Zhao Jiapo, who belongs to Zhao Liang.
In this process, Lanfang's Zhao Manor will not only be a powerful logistics base, but they will also deeply interfere in Lanfang's internal power...
Whether it is Luo Fangbo or Jiang Wubo, they all have a large number of relatives in the mainland. They have ambitions but not intentions. Now, is it difficult to hold them silently in their hands with the weight of the Zhao family?
