Chapter 431 Port

ps: The second update today, please support with genuine subscription!

In fact, when he decided to build a city-level starship as his own divine domain, Li Anran once thought about transforming the entire Liuqiu Island, or a part of it, into a starship. Unfortunately, this idea failed to win over Kota

Na's approval.

According to the other party, the amount of work required to transform an island into a starship is too great. Even though the island has ready-made soil and mountain peaks, and the spacecraft also has energy shield and force field shield technology, the transformation is still

It will be quite troublesome.

Needless to say, the unavoidable vibrations when such a large city-class starship rises from the sea can easily cause rocks to break apart. Unless Liuqiu Island or local areas are first lifted into the air, and then

Carry out further transformation.

But in this way, unless the island has been suspended in the air or space, once it enters a flying state, especially the vibrations caused by breaking through the limitations of the earth's gravity and flying into space, it will still have a great impact on the entire island.

To avoid this problem, all mountains and internal structures must be reinforced and modified accordingly. In this way, both cost and safety are far more advantageous than the later designed city-class starship Shendu.

As for the issue of greening, although it cannot be placed directly on the surface of the starship like a floating island, it can be placed inside an area such as a park or green belt. While beautifying the environment, it can also support life.

The role of the system.

Since he decided to occupy Liuqiu Island as the location of his shrine, Li Anran initially insisted that those who were willing to stay should stay, and those who were unwilling to stay should be given some money.

Send away attitude.

Anyway, there were not many people on Liuqiu Island in the early days of the Tang Dynasty. Even if no one wanted to stay and "work" for him, but all had to spend money to send them away, it was not a problem for Li Anran, who was extremely wealthy.

.

But in this process, it is not without encountering resistance. For example, some people are unwilling to leave their hometown where they have lived for a long time, some want to take advantage of the opportunity to gain more benefits, etc. However, this does not explain the whole matter.

Development has had no impact at all.

For those who just don't want to leave their hometown, Li Anran has made arrangements. Since you don't want to leave, then stay and work hard. Although you will have to accept control in the future, your living conditions will definitely be much better than before.

Li Anran didn't do anything cruel to those who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain more benefits. Don't you want to gain more benefits? No problem, you will all be sent to the Tachibana family to receive "transformation". As long as you are willing to work hard, you can always

Get more benefits on the battlefield.

As for those guys who simply did not want their original power and interests to be harmed, who were determined to resist, and even secretly conspired to cause trouble, they all disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead.

Corpses. No one knows where they went.

It didn't even take a month. With the help of low-Earth orbit satellites, the entire Liuqiu Island's aborigines were cleared away. Even the so-called hermits who had secluded themselves in the mountains and old forests for various reasons.

Experts have also been "digged" out.

After the entire Liuqiu Island was taken into his hands, Li Anran immediately abolished all the original administrative systems, and then sent people to manage the people left on the island while arranging various high-tech equipment to manage Liuqiu Island.

carry out transformation.

Although Liuqiu Island could not be transformed into a starship, and the God of War Palace only occupied part of the island's Yushan and the surrounding mountains, which was nothing compared to the entire area of ​​Liuqiu Island, Li

Enron has regarded this place as his own private territory.

However, Liuqiu Island, surrounded by the sea, is very close to Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Zhangzhou and Chaozhou in the Tang Dynasty. Originally, Liuqiu Island also belonged to the maritime route and was a common transfer station on the Maritime Silk Road. Except in winter.

In addition, in spring, summer and autumn, you can often see ships and even fleets docked at the original docks for rest and trading.

For Liuqiu Island, Li Anran really has no intention of completely closing it off. After all, Liuqiu Island has unique advantages in terms of maritime trade and military use. Moreover, it is so close to the Tang Dynasty. If it is really "closed to the country"

Although it is indeed possible to find peace and quiet, the value of Liuqiu Island is wasted.

Therefore, under Li Anran's arrangement, large ports were built in suitable areas on the four coastlines of the southeast, northwest and northwest of Liuqiu Island. At the same time, supporting the ports are corresponding commercial areas, living areas, and daily maintenance areas.

The port security brigade is responsible for public security and occasionally goes out to sea to fight pirates.

Although the manpower of these four port security brigades is actually not large, they only have a thousand people combined, but their equipment is quite sophisticated, and they have received systematic training and training to cope with small-scale operations.

It is not a problem at all to cause trouble or even armed (violence) (riot).

As for the problem of encountering a large-scale war, there is no need to worry at all. Not to mention the automatic turrets lurking around the key positions on the island, as well as the automatic turrets that patrol the waters around Liuqiu Island on weekdays.

A ball-shaped drone with optical stealth function. Just the snake-shaped mechanical body in the sea is enough to kill the invading enemies before they even get close to Liuqiu Island.

The size of these four ports is not small, enough to dock dozens of large merchant ships at the same time. The supporting loading and unloading equipment, transportation tools, and sealed warehouses with refrigeration and freezing functions are enough to support a large number of maritime merchants to repair and conduct transactions at the port.

Although these four ports all charge taxes on maritime trade, and the taxes are not low, compared with the services and various policies provided, as well as the safety of the routes, this amount of money is really not worth it in the eyes of those maritime merchants.

What.

Not to mention the Port Administration Bureau, which is referred to as the Port Authority, will also publish a list to the outside world. The slaves, craftsmen, minerals and other resources listed in the list that are useful to Liuqiu Island can all enjoy low taxes or even tax.

It is a tax-free treatment.

As for the prices of these resources, although they are not necessarily much higher than the market price, the good thing is that the port not only receives goods from outside, but also ships them out. And there are many types of goods shipped, ranging from all kinds of luxury goods.

There are all kinds of products, including the most common food, sea salt.

The most important thing is that the selling price of these goods is at least 20% lower than the market price. In this way, you only need to send a ship of the goods needed on the island, and then directly exchange the money earned for these goods and store them elsewhere, which will make a huge profit.

The goods are then sold back, and the profit generated between the sale and purchase is also extremely considerable.

It is precisely because of this that when winter passes and spring arrives, maritime trade begins to regain its vitality after a whole winter of recuperation. Soon, four ports appear on Liuqiu Island, and there are many cheap goods on them.

News of the purchase began to spread among the maritime merchant circles.

Now that we have established a port, there is no reason to give all the benefits to outsiders. To this end, Li Anran also transferred several merchant ships from Quanzhou Shipyard, plus those ships manufactured using high-tech processing technology, to form a

Three fleets at sea.

One fleet is specifically responsible for the offshore trade between Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Zhangzhou and Chaozhou and Liuqiu Island, while the other fleet goes far away on the Maritime Silk Road for long-sea trade. As for the last one,

He is specifically responsible for business dealings with various forces on Fuso Island.

As for the Tachibana family, there is no need to specially arrange a fleet. Firstly, the other party also belongs to one of the forces on Fuso Island. Secondly, it is because Zheng Chenggong actually got a fleet from his own family after uniting with the original Zheng family fleet manager.

A position specifically responsible for offshore business with Fuso, Liuqiu and various islands in the South China Sea.

As a result, the original plan to completely break away from the Zheng family has been temporarily shelved. After all, after so many years of business, the Zheng family's family foundation is not comparable to Zheng Chenggong's starting a new business. Not to mention, this position is not comparable to Zheng Chenggong's real status.

There is no conflict in the plan at all. If you don't take advantage of the existing advantages, you would be a fool.

However, Zheng Chenggong also knew that the reason why this appointment went so smoothly was definitely because of the actions of the mistress who had always regarded him as a thorn in her side. While sneering, he immediately took advantage of this good opportunity and used the excuse of missing his family.

He brought his mother to Fusang to reunite with him.
