Three hundred and fortieth chapters fresh blood (six)
Yes, that's right! These Saccaravas female slaves from New China are used to match those Italians!
In order to accelerate the development of Patagonia, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the East Coast Republic of China proposed that several large domestic textile enterprises (Dayuhe Machine Textile Factory, Ping'an Weaving Factory, Luoqie Textile Factory) and East Coast Company responded to the establishment of a wool washing factory in Linhai and Linhe settlements in Patagonia, and the wool spinning mill plan was quickly promoted. This plan aimed at improving the production and technical level of the wool textile industry in the East Coast Republic will definitely bring new variables to the increasingly competitive textile industry. If not, the textile industry pattern in the international market will also be impacted.
Due to Yang Mingyang's efforts, Huangyanggang received the first batch of investments, that is, four companies jointly invested, produced technology, and created people, and established a wool textile enterprise called United Textile Factory on the banks of the Huangyang River. The four companies each held 20% of the shares, and 10% of the shares were reserved for equity incentives (in the future, they were used to reward corporate management, technicians and model workers). The last 10% of the shares were given back to the general public and sold publicly in the Qingdao financial market to raise funds.
After the establishment of the United Textile Factory, except for some of the technical backbones selected by the local government, most of the workers were selected from Italian labor workers (The Italian textile industry has been in decline, so many textile industry practitioners have been unemployed in recent years and have no choice but to go to the New World to make a living). These people have more or less experienced in the wool textile industry. Therefore, it is quite good to be the first batch of workers after the amnesty. Moreover, their total number is as high as more than 600, divided into multiple types of wool washers, wool combing workers, weavers, dyeing workers, etc., which are relatively complete.
Yang Mingyang, who participated in the construction of the United Textile Factory throughout the whole process, always believed that these Italian workers were really lucky: many people have been in the East Coast for less than five years, but they were recruited into the United Textile Factory because of their skill and a rough Chinese. Not only did they have formal jobs, but they also became citizens of the East Coast. Now even women are about to have women. Although Malay women who are slightly discriminated against will live a relatively stable life in the future, what else are they not satisfied with? Humph, if you are not honest, and you have to listen to God's teachings, you will restrict immigration from Europe. You will all squat on that land of war and endure it slowly!
Of course, Yang Mingyang also knew that this was unlikely. In a country like the East Coast, which has large areas of uninhabited land in various regions of China, the demand for population is undoubtedly extremely strong. Not to mention that the leaders of the East Coast all have a sense of urgency that time is endless. The construction projects in China are one after another, and the whole country has almost become a large construction site, which is shocking. The British in North America have been here for decades, and the infrastructure is still messy. The construction operations that are not on the same level as the East Coast naturally require a large number of labor. The East Coast is currently mainly solved by slaves and non-national labor workers. Of course, the role of free people doing odd jobs during the slack season cannot be ignored, after all, they are large.
In such a situation where the labor force is infinitely hungry, any sensible leader may be difficult to make up his mind about things such as prohibiting immigration from Europe (of course it is another matter whether they are willing to come). This has led to a large number of Italian labor workers crossing the sea and coming to the east coast to work and eventually settle down. Of course, the main source of immigration on the east coast is still the official-led active immigration. This large-scale immigration movement has just begun at this time.
Part of the world's great colonial (immigration) campaign is so large that it is so large that it is immigrants. I dare not say that it is the last one. Anyway, it is definitely an unprecedented tens of thousands of immigrants from the old mainland leave their hometown for various reasons, either depressed and disappointed, crying bitterly, with a yearning for a new life, or looking forward to changing the old lifestyle, etc., and finally settle down, integrate with each other, and become identical, until they finally form their own cultural characteristics.
After carefully understanding the progress of the joint textile factory preparation, Yang Mingyang, the pioneering worker who was on the horse and on the army and dismounted the horse to manage the people, met with many guests from Yancheng Port in his office. Most of these people were technical personnel of the First Ceramics Factory (located in Yancheng Port, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is the main investor and technical provider, and obtained 70% of the shares, and Yancheng Port locally holds 30% of the shares). A while ago, Yang Mingyang requested, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce approved that a new ceramic factory would be established in Patagonia, called the "Second Ceramics Factory", so the First Ceramics Factory was required to provide some technical personnel to participate in the preliminary preparation and trial production activities. In order to increase the enthusiasm of the first factory, the new Second Factory will give the First Factory 30% of the shares (in addition, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce holds 50% of the shares, and the East Coast Company, as an important investor, holds 20% of the shares), so that they can do their best to help the First Factory start production as soon as possible.
Unlike the first ceramic factory, which mainly engages in industrial stoneware pipelines and small civilian pottery, the second ceramic factory will mainly focus on porcelain production. Because the personnel sent by the Ministry of Geology discovered a large amount of white clay in the west of the reservoir township when they visited along the Chubut River. It has a vast area and abundant reserves. It can be used for industrial use for a long time without any depletion. In fact, the Patagonia platform in Argentina has always been an important production area of white clay. Only a small part of the area explored throughout the country have 12 large white clay mines, especially
The three large mines connected to the west of the Amesino Dam are the largest (of course, people on the East Coast may not know where other mines are located at this time, and this requires continuous investment of funds and personnel for exploration). This eliminates the last obstacle for the East Coast Republic to promote the porcelain industry. The porcelain craftsmen who plundered from Shandong back then did not need to produce low-value pottery. They can turn to produce higher-value porcelain, making profits for the country while also increasing their income. This is really great!
The second ceramic factory is expected to officially start construction at the end of this month (February 1656). The location of the mine is located near the town of Laspurumas in Argentina. The State Administration for Development has officially named it Baitao Township and is preparing to move a group of Ming people to immigrate to the place in the near future. With the cooperation of technicians of the Ministry of Geology, the scope of the mine site will be determined, and then mining and mineral processing will be provided to provide production raw materials for the future after the porcelain kiln is established. As for whether the porcelain kiln is located in Baitao Township or Hai'an Port, it has not yet been concluded. However, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce prefers to set up Hai'an Port with convenient transportation.
But no matter what, for production reasons, it is inevitable to build a freight highway (or railway) from Hai'an Port to Baitao Township. This matter was not easy in the past. However, after the construction of the Second Porcelain Factory was included in the "Science Spring" plan led by Chairman Qiang Quanshengqiang, it seemed that the matter was not that difficult. Now, I heard that the Executive Committee plans to dispatch a group of Ukrainian serfs sold by the Tatars to come here, with a number of about a thousand people. These people will, together with more than a thousand Sakarava prisoners of war sent from New China, level the roadbed from the coast port to Baitao Township under the management of black supervisors in Xhosa, laying the foundation for the comprehensive construction of roads (or railways) in the future.
Before that, it could only be transported in small quantities by mules and horses. Who made the Chubute River unnavigated and the local terrain was rugged? However, some people pointed out that a batch of small inland flatbeds can be ordered from the local area, and they can use sails and use a large number of non-national labor workers to pull the fibers. The efficiency of this mode of transportation should be far greater than that of mules and horses. I don’t know where to find the huge number of boatmen. If it really doesn’t work, I still have to find the famous labor brokers Valentino and Mendes, and let them find ways to recruit some Northern Italians from overpopulated Piedmont, Milan and other places. Even if they give high wages, they are willing to give them high wages. The East Coast is really tormented by the painful labor gap.
The significance of this railway/highway that is under planning cannot be underestimated. Because when this road is built to the source of the Chubut River (located to the eastern mountain range of the Andes Mountains in the province of Rionegro, it is obviously between 41 degrees and 42 degrees south latitude), it is only one step away from the famous Cochamo Pass from here to west. The Manso River flows through the pass into the Pacific Ocean, with an altitude of only 400 meters. From here to the north, in the area of Lake Lacar and Lake Nahuelvapi, there are also the Van-Wen Pass (673 meters above sea level) and the Perez Rosales Pass (1010 meters above sea level). The former is the lowest altitude pass in Neuken Province with more than 100 passes. Later generations have frequent personnel and vehicles during the passage season.
But all the mountain passes have a common disadvantage, which is that they can only pass in summer and autumn. After heavy snow in winter, it becomes difficult or simply unpassable. This is the biggest disadvantage. Otherwise, the railway will be directly built to the small town of Cochamo in Chile in the west of Shanxi, and directly communicate with the two oceans in the same way as the old Nan Railway. Of course, now I can only think about the heavy snow in the mountains in winter (don't forget that most of the water vapor in the Pacific Ocean is blocked in the mountains, and the snow is not ordinary) will impress everyone who tries to build a railway here. It is impossible in the short term. Even after the road is built, it may require a lot of effort to maintain it every year.
