The next day, the school’s student representatives, teacher representatives, crew representatives and Jin Sanduo held a small meeting to unify their thoughts - if there was chaos within, the Lushan number would be over.

As long as the Lushan is there, there is no problem that this nuclear-powered 50,000-ton ironclad ship will dominate the world's oceans for decades. Although there are only eighteen 20-mm machine guns that are anti-pirates as weapons on the ship, even if they are used to hit, none of the ships of this era is the opponent of the Lushan - they are all wooden ships, which will sink as much as they come. Moreover, the maximum speed of Lushan, which is up to 32 knots, will not allow any enemy to run away at sea.

The Ming Dynasty government may not be able to go into the sea when facing Lushan, but for Europe in the era of navigation, this armored ship is violent and cannot be cracked.

Jin Sanduo sat in front and listened to the report of the representative of the geography teacher.

"Because Jeju Island is a pure volcanic island, there are only three, many winds, many women, and many stones. In our era, we only developed its tourism resources, and there are no industrial coal mines and iron ore that we need to develop industrialization. At the same time, there are coal mines and iron ore. The closest location is North Korea to the north, to be precise, the mountainous area in northern Korea, which contains more than 90% of the resources on the Korean Peninsula, which was also used as a national-level mining resource base in that era.

However, there are two problems that cannot be avoided when going to North Korea to mine. One is the problem of the Korean court, and the other is that the distance there is too close to the Qing Dynasty, so the construction of a base there cannot be avoided when going to war with the Qing Dynasty. Although I know that everyone doesn’t like the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners of this era still have such a little combat power. The Eight Banners cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and the defense security of mining in northern Korea is the biggest problem.

Similarly, there are coal mines and iron mines on Hainan Island, but when you go there to mine, you will face military pressure from the Ming government. My opinion is that in North Korea, Ming Dynasty, Japan recruited immigrants to Australia to open land and mine. Jeju Island only retains its role as a military base. It is also a transit station for trade in the Ming Dynasty, North Korea and Japan. In short, there is no future in opening a factory here."

"Australia is a little desolate? I think the distribution span of Australian resources is also quite large. The coal mines we need are distributed on the east coast of Australia and the iron mines are on the west coast of Australia. We are not able to take care of two mine sites at the same time for the time being. So wouldn't Lushan be a coal transport ship?"

The geography teacher answered: "Although this is the case in most cases, there are exceptions. That is, the Huaiara area in southern Australia, where coal mines and iron ore exist at the same time. Because there is a large amount of high-grade iron ore, the government has prepared to build a new steel base here last year. There is Port Augusta nearby. After construction, you can stop at Lushan."

"Well, how long does it take to travel from northern Asia to southern Australia?"

"A maximum of one month," Captain Lodge replied, "This is calculated using economic speed. However, if you want to immigrate to Australia, it is impossible to bring too few people and goods. In addition, loading and unloading, it will take at least two months to travel back and forth."

Kim Sanduo said: "Then during the past two months, the security of Jeju Island is a problem. By the way, there is no need to take down Jeju Island so early. We can train a group of indigenous soldiers and let the indigenous soldiers help us capture the guards of Jeju Island. Five hundred of us have advanced weapons, so it is okay to capture anywhere, but guards and local administration are not enough. I think what we have to do is to declare the military power of the Lushan to all countries. Deterrence is sometimes better than war. For example, during this period, Japan and the Ming Dynasty needed a permit from the court, but we could force it with the Lushan. Everyone understands the rules of the Age of Discovery, naval guns open the way, and ship trade."

This denies the view that Jeju Island is now taking over as an outpost, but considering that Jeju Island cannot even be self-sufficient in food at present, it is indeed not a particularly suitable place - if the Lushan number cannot arrive on schedule, the left-behind people on the island will have to starve.

Captain Loger said: "Indeed, if we want to immigrate a large number of people, the Lushan will not always hide. It is very necessary to declare the force of our Lushan."

"How many immigrants can Lushan hold?"

Captain Loger said: "According to the diary of all generations, the Lushan was the year when it landed on the British mainland to fight. The ship was equipped with more than 1,400 crew members and more than 5,000 landing soldiers. If you don't consider the comfort, it's okay to install 10,000 people. The Lushan Tanshui can be built by itself. If you don't have to worry about the power, you don't have to worry about the reactor being used for the next century. Just load enough food. You can add some fish on the road. I'm talking about staple foods and vegetables and fruits."

After a while of discussion, it was decided to suspend the Jeju Island strategy. It was inevitable to recruit immigrants in Busan. Considering that recruiting immigrants from the same location might cause grouping problems, this is the first time that it is planned to recruit 3,000 Korean workers, 3,000 Japanese workers and 3,000 Ming Dynasty workers. Then, those who obey discipline and dare to fight are selected as military reserve personnel of the Lushan Army.

As for food, the food reserved on the Lushan is naturally not enough for everyone to drive from northern Asia to southern Australia, but there are goods on the Lushan. Guns and ammunition cannot be sold for the time being, but it is a good choice to sell a few dollars as a luxury product to make some money when it cannot be produced - those rooms that are ready to live for immigrants naturally cannot place the luxury fragile products of this era.

Of course, some people say that they can just rely on the Lushan force to rob directly, but most people do not agree with the mainstream view of this era of great seafaring - that is, the Sino-German United Empire also slowly infiltrated with trade colonization in the face of non-hostile countries. In those areas that were forcibly annexed through war, there were always various rebellions. Xiaobei originally wanted to build some factories in the British Isles, but the factories bombed by local guerrillas suffered too much loss - these guerrillas were unable to kill, and Germany had to deal with the British Isles as imperial farms.

Jeju Mun on Jeju Island didn't know that he temporarily escaped a quarter.

The 500-person meeting on the ship decided to use security chief Zhang Tiejun and all reserve soldiers to train the people on the ship. The morning exercises of the queue are practiced every day. What you need to learn now is to shoot. Only by being able to use weapons skillfully can you defend yourself. Jin Sanduo opened the container door of his private goods and took out enough weapons and a large amount of ammunition from it.

Now these things have been considered public. At the 500-person conference, all the rights and interests of the Lushan were distributed equally to everyone, with one vote per person in the meeting and one share per person. However, because Jin Sanduo made the most contributions to the weapons, as well as the shipowner and school director, they were elected as the first head of the Lushan. Below the head of the head of Jin Sanduo are representatives of all parties, such as Captain Luo Jie was elected as the crew representative, security chief Zhang Tiejun was elected as the military representative, teacher representative Qian Lele, and student representative two were respectively, boy representative Li Jun and female representative Su Xue.

The head of state Jin Sanduo did not have much privilege. It was also because of his rich foreign language and spoken language. As the head of state, it was easy to communicate with foreigners. The representatives of small matters will make decisions, and the 500-person meeting will make decisions. The position of the head of state is just a nominal leader. The only privilege is to announce the convening of the 500-person meeting to discuss a matter.

As the shooting training unfolded, the yellow bullet shells continued to fall on the deck. After each group of people completed the shooting training, they had to collect the bullet shells. Although there was a bullet-making machine, because they didn't know when they would be able to build the bullets, they kept the bullet shells and prepared to reload the bullets. The sky was pitiful, and the Central Army had never used it.

Zhang Tiejun selected excellent seedlings in it to enrich the team. The security team of more than a dozen people alone cannot guarantee the safety of the future base and future sub-base. This former retired captain of the Central Army is not a leader who can be an official - otherwise he would not have retired as a security guard at the age of 30, but he is a leader who can train troops. He trains the security guards on the Lushan No. 3 to death - he doesn't even have the energy to watch girls do morning exercises on weekdays, and Jin Sanduo is also very glad that he is not his subordinate.

As for the sea girl Li Yinhua, because she was not ready to tour Jeju Island for the time being, Jin Sanduo and Captain Luojie put him back with a lifeboat. In order to make up for the economic losses of the sea girl on this day, they gave Li Yinhua a bag of ten kilograms of rice as a reward. It can be seen that the food here is relatively scarce.

When getting off the boat, Li Yinhua asked, "Are you still here?"

Kim Sanduo said: "We are going to Busan to recruit some people to work for us. This place is not suitable for our development for the time being. Of course, if someone wants to follow us, we are welcome."

Li Yinhua asked, "What kind of work do you want?"

"Farming, building houses, building roads, fishing, mining, and working in factories."

Li Yinhua looked at the rice in her hand: "Do you all eat rice?"

"Of course, the rice has a little more calories."

Li Yinhua asked again: "Does women want children too?"

"If women can have children, children are our future. North Korean women can also go to the ground."

Li Yinhua said: "Of course, if you have such treatment, I think people from our village and nearby villages may also want to go there. Where can I find you? We are all sinners and cannot go to Busan afterwards."

Jin Sanduo asked Captain Luo Jie and promised Li Yinhua: "In ten days, our big ship will come to the nearby waters again in ten days. If you want to get on the boat, just be prepared."

After two days of military training, Lushan finally decided to go to Nagasaki Port for a walk, because I heard that the commercial business there is more developed, and materials such as mirrors can be sold at a good price. These days, except for the dormitory where everyone lives, mirrors are also retained, and other dormitories that are ready to be equipped with immigration have been removed - only electric lights are left inside, and without this thing, prepare to spend the dark while sailing.

The resettlement locations for immigrants have also been treated. There are three floors of living areas under the deck. The canteen on the first and first floors are used by 500 people from Lushan. The second floor below is used to accommodate immigrants. The engine room on the lower floor is usually locked, and the armed security guards are used between the first and second floors. Now it can only be achieved this.

May 14, 1628 was a big day for Nagasaki Port. On that day, a large iron ship the size of a hill sailed into the bay near Nagasaki. The nearby merchants were all frightened.

The city lord Kogoro Mori also received the news as soon as possible: "A large iron ship comes from the sea, and it is as big as a city."

No matter what, the other party had not fired the gun yet, Kogoro Mori decided to go and see if the iron ship was covered with a layer of iron armor, even if it was a big iron ship, as for it, it was as big as a city, and people like Westerners reported this way when they met the big ship.

When the Lord Maori saw the face of the big iron ship, he felt a little soft. Because it was much more shocking than the big ship of the Westerners, it was indeed like a city. This time, the subordinates did not use exaggerated grammar. The Lord Maori himself dared not go up, so he found the adviser Saigo Banbingwei to be a sampan to ask what they wanted. As long as some Nagasaki had to come up with him.

The Japanese were very open-minded. When Zheng He first went to the West to bring a large ship fleet and tens of thousands of soldiers to Japan, the great general Ashikaga Yoshiman immediately surrendered.

"I am the representative sent by the Lord of Nagasaki. If possible, please let me get on the boat to discuss." The Lord's Aide, Saigo Banbingwei, came to the big iron ship with a decisive mood, and explained his purpose in Japanese, Chinese and unskilled Portuguese. This aide who knows foreign languages ​​in both countries is also a talent for Nagasaki Castle.

The two crew members threw down the rope ladder and pulled the staff up. After checking that they did not carry weapons, they were sent to Jin Sanduo.

In order not to let outsiders see more of the internal structure of the Lushan, Jin Sanduo stood on the deck and met the representative of the Nagasaki City Lord.

Saigo Banbingwei, half-bing, lay on the ground and said, "You are here, I don't know what it means. If you send me, I will be satisfied with Nagasaki Castle."

Jin Sanduo said: "Since your city lord is so good, I won't talk nonsense. Originally, we should have gone to Tokyo to get a red seal letter to trade here, but it's so troublesome to go back and forth, so I think it's okay to do some business directly. If we have to have a red seal letter here, we don't mind going to Tokyo to get a trip."

Saigo Banbinge said: "The villain is panicked, and this rule is naturally set by the strong to obey the weak. If you have this big iron ship, you are the strong. Our Nagasaki Castle and even the Tokugawa Shogunate naturally have to obey your rules. If you have any dispatch, I will definitely be satisfied with the whole family of Nagasaki."

Jin Sanduo asked someone to find a mirror wrapped in white cotton, about two feet long and one foot wide. It was installed uniformly in the bathroom and the specifications were one size smaller than those in the dormitory. Jin Sanduo handed it to Saigo Banbinge: "We came this time to sell this treasure mirror. There are two in total. This time you take one to the shore to see the merchants of each shop. Then hold an auction on our boat, and the price is higher."

Xixiang naturally knew that traditional mirrors were made of bronze mirrors made by craftsmen. In recent years, Westerners in Nagasaki have been trafficking in some glass-made hand mirrors that can clearly reflect people's faces. Hand mirrors as big as palms cost hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver. In this way, some wealthy merchants and daimyos are also rushing to buy them as heirlooms.

The size of the mirror in front of me is more than twice the size of the largest mirror imported by Westerners. Saigo Banbingei understood why people were willing to trade instead of robbery. It turned out that they had the goods in their hands, so they were not afraid of not being able to sell them at a good price. It was hard to say whether the shops dared to come on board. If there were all the shops here and they could redeem the shops, they would have fun. However, the safety of Nagasaki in front of me was the first priority. Those merchants, anyway, they were hired shopkeepers, and the real bosses used to enjoy aristocratic life all day long, so they could settle accounts and do business.

This Saigo Ban Bingwei has a strong ability to do business. Within an hour of carrying a mirror, he went back to Nagasaki Port and invited all the willing and reluctant local merchants to the big iron ship. There was also a shopkeeper of the Portuguese merchant store who came voluntarily.

There was also a large table on the deck of Lushan, with chairs, wine, and other items to entertain representatives of these shops.

"This Australian treasure mirror is not easy to make. Although we may still sell it in the future, it will not be available in the short term. The treasure mirrors sold this time have two sides, the base price is 500 taels of silver, and those with the higher price will be." After the crowd arrived one after another, Jin Sanduo announced that the auction had begun.

Because I knew there was a second treasure mirror, the bidding scene for the first mirror was not fierce, and many people didn't even have a bidding price at all. This made Saigo Banbingwei very anxious and glared at these people fiercely. These were people from Saigo Banbingwei who came to the big iron ship with a knife with his neck. Of course, it was natural to not cooperate. Saigo Banbingwei was anxious that although the boat was not equipped with cannons, the small cannon and the muskets on the soldiers looked like they were not ordinary. If the other party was not satisfied, what should I do if he vented his anger on Nagasaki Castle?

However, the Portuguese businessman was very interested in the mirror. You should know that such a large mirror is just a luxury for Japanese merchants and daimyos, but the Portuguese knew that Venice could not make such a big mirror. Even if it was significantly smaller than this mirror, it was a sky-high price to sell. This mirror could be sold at a high price when sold in Europe. Because people there knew the maximum size and price of Venice mirrors.

After the first mirror was bought by a Portuguese merchant for 8,000 taels, the local merchants in Nagasaki realized that this was a good thing. Westerners also had no profits to get up early. If there was no profit, Western merchants selling mirrors would not buy this mirror at such a high price. The price of this second mirror soared and kept calling ten thousand taels of silver before stopping. No one had ever sold such a large mirror, and the Portuguese no longer asked for the price. What should I do if I had more compensation?

The two shops immediately sent someone to transport silver after taking a picture of the mirror. It was a surprise that they could sell so much. Anyway, the glass factory will be produced in the future, and the glass mirror will be produced like flowing water. Jin Sanduo picked up a glass of wine and said, "To be honest, we have to buy some goods. The largest amount is rice. I don't know which shop is doing this business."

Saigo Banbingwei immediately bowed and said, "If your ship needs rice, our Nagasaki Castle Lord is willing to donate three thousand stones of rice."

"No, no, no, we are still willing to complete the rice in commercial form." Jin Sanduo said to the city lord's aide: "But we have more important things to leave to the city lord of Nagasaki. We have many lands in Australia, many wastelands are not cultivated, and factories lack workers. So, I want to recruit some people here to open up land and work in Australia. Don't say there is no here."

Saigo Banbingwei's khan came down: "I don't know how many people you need, so we all over Nagasaki Castle will do our best to get it together."

"The goal this time is to recruit 3,000 immigrants. The best family can come together. We are welcome to stay here for a few more days. During this period, you can recruit as much as you can. We never force it. This place is not enough, so we can go to other places to go around."
