"The Spaniards are here to look for me again. This time I'm serious and it's not worry-free. Xiaobai, I'll arrange for you to go in the Niuzhuang Port area for investigation this time. Do you know what to do?" Zheng Yong, a foreign affairs committee member who ended the talks with the Spanish, found Bai Yutang, a senior assistant to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in his office, a Mesozoic official who was favored by many people in the diplomatic and trade system and is actively operating on the outgoing operation.

Bai Yutang is also forty years old this year, but his beard is shaved very quickly, his hair is smooth and smooth, and his appearance is even more good. In addition, this person is diligent in hands and feet and can speak. Therefore, although he has not been sent to the local officials over the years, he has slowly been promoted to the position of senior assistant to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has become a bureau-level official. Although he is not as dazzling as Liu Jianguo and Ma Wenqiang and other deputy ministerial officials, it is also quite good, and he is more than inferior to the superiors.

This time he spent a lot of effort and money on his mind to work in the Far East to serve an important position. Of course, what he wanted was to be able to further his career in the future. His father Bai Siwen was active in politics in his early years, but unfortunately he became increasingly unsuccessful and fell into the position of the literature and history department. In the end, he could only turn his focus to educating descendants and family business.

Bai Yutang embarked on the path of politics under such a background. Now his father has high expectations for his eldest son, because his brothers and sisters are either operating the family industry or engaging in ministries and commissions. It seems that the family revitalization can only be relied on him. Therefore, this time he went to the Far East, his father took the lead and found some old people from the law department. In addition, Bai Yutang seemed to perform well in their children, so everyone worked hard to find ways to get him out.

Of course, the competition for employment in the colonies in the outer space is very fierce, and it is still unknown whether Bai Yutang and even the law department can break through the siege and take the lead. Therefore, they also chose a backup plan, that is, once they fail to transfer to the Far East, they will settle for the second best and seek to work in South Africa, New China, Australia and even Pampa, first take down the pit, put a layer of gold on their resume, and then find a way to move it later.

Even if you work well in Pampa and other places, you might be able to follow the trend. You should know that the East Coast Republic of China currently has a population of more than 3 million and more than 100 counties. It is impossible for you to never set up administrative units (such as provinces) higher than the region. This is an opportunity.

At present, Bai Yutang's transfer is still in a fierce game and exchange of interests among the upper-level bosses. Therefore, as a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he still has to take on his own job and must do it well, so that others can't blame others for their mistakes, so as not to let people take advantage of the situation at this critical moment. That would be too worthy of being worthy of it.

However, the people in the department of this kind of affairs also knew the importance of it. Therefore, Zheng Yong arranged for Bai Yutang to show his face and have an easy task, which is to go to many East Coast settlements on the Pampa Plain for investigation, and then write a report to submit it to his superiors and then finish it.

Speaking of the investigation, it was something that happened after the Spanish ambassador Baron Sebastian and General Ovando, Buenos Aires, visited each other. No matter how arrogant the people on the East Coast were, they still had to do this superficially, so they sent a research team to go around and write a nonsense report, copy one and submit it to the Spanish to make excuses.

As for whether the Spaniards are satisfied with this research report, it is not something that the East Coast people should be in charge. Sometimes, don’t be shameless. Now the East Coast people still want some face and don’t want to make things too ugly. But if you don’t know what you are shameless and keep holding on, once the East Coast people become shameless, you will realize what you have missed before. Of course, as it seems, the Spaniards are still very good at grasping the position, especially in the dispute between the government and the opposition, their country has joined the alliance of Austria, United Provinces, Spain and other countries in the disputes between the government and the opposition. The future prospects are difficult to predict. Therefore, if you can not offend the East Coast people, don’t offend them. Both sides basically fight without breaking the illegal cross-border cultivation in the Pampa Plain, and just click to stop.

As a backbone official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bai Yutang is naturally familiar with the various things. Therefore, when Commissioner Zheng Yong and Zheng asked him at this time, he immediately understood and said, "I know what to do, Minister Zheng, Niuzhuang, Yinhai, Niulanshan and other places, have been left alone for a long time. The local people have neither paid taxes nor served. It is difficult to estimate how many people they have, what is the local economy, and what is the development trend. Therefore, I am going to take advantage of the situation.

This opportunity is a good study of the local area and strive to find out most of the issues we want to know so that the Executive Committee can be targeted when formulating policies. Of course, the Spanish will only get what we want them to know, and I will pay great attention to this. I will write two reports, one to the Ministry, the Bureau of Statistical Survey of Syphilis Patients and the General Administration of Development of the State, and the other to the Spanish Ambassador Baron Sebastian. This should be fine."

"Yes, Xiaobai, just be sure to be clear. Then I don't have much to say, just one thing, be careful to pay attention to your safety. Niuzhuang is OK. He Yuan has been in good governance in the past or two years. While maintaining production, he also established a small militia team, which is a bit surprising. But other places outside Niuzhuang are a little confused. The mixed places of dragons and snakes are mixed, and even the veterans of the intelligence department are very dangerous in the past. Therefore, this time you should bring more people here. Later, I will issue a document to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, asking them to lend us twenty police officers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to us and escort the people from your research team to conduct research. I will feel much more at ease. Okay, you should go back and do your business quickly, I'll wait for your report."

Bai Yutang nodded after hearing this, respectfully left the luxuriously decorated office, and then turned around and left.

On February 27, 1675, a group of thirty or forty people, a Pampa research team, who was riding the "Seagull" ship of the messenger liner company, finally set foot on the solid land of Niuzhuang Port after several days of storm and turbulence. He Yuan, the mayor of Niuzhuang Town, who had already received the news in advance, personally went to the dock to receive their group, and then cooperated very well to take out a large number of files and documents for the people of the research team to read.

In addition, He Yuan also talked with the people of the research team about the future development of many colonial sites in the Pampa area. Of course, there were also complaints to the local area to seek more support: "The permanent population of Niuzhuang has always been around 4,000, but there are many migrant people. During the peak production and sales season, there are even more migrant people coming here. Of course, the sources of these migrant people are very diverse and their identities are different. Among them are both Chinese citizens and foreigners, which are both large and large. The Chinese people are mainly those who come to the local area to engage in the bison industry. The number of people cannot be accurately counted, but we estimate that there are more than one thousand people. Foreigners are mainly non-national labor workers and they are generally employed by the cattle catchers Gao Qiao, and the Spanish are at least Indian indigenous people, such as the Crandy and the Quechua people, etc.."

"At present, Niuzhuang's main industries are wheat cultivation, cured meat manufacturing, fishing, cowhide processing industry, etc. Due to the major benefits brought by the French-Dutch War and the Borussia War, more and more processing workshops are now emerging in the city and in the suburbs, employed a large number of cured meat, cowhide water bags, belts, military boots, ammunition bags, armed belts, leather armor, skins, saddles, bowstrings, etc., and they are all exported to the old continent through various channels, achieving considerable profits." He Yuan continued.

In fact, as he said before, due to the combined consumption of 500,000 and 600,000 troops in many wars in the Old Continent, the military inventory of France, England, United Provinces, Spain, Austria, Ottoman, Poland and some German states plummeted, causing a large number of cheap and affordable commodities from the East Coast to pour into the above-mentioned places like a tide.

In the face of such a life-and-death war, even if the warring parties have various opinions and dissatisfaction with the East Coast, they will still eat these goods without hesitation, and then send them to the front line as quickly as possible, and devote themselves to one battle after another. Just like the French who were indifferent to the East Coast relations before, they could not end the war quickly in the short term. When facing a protracted tug-of-war, they did not hesitate to allow merchant ships from the East Coast to enter ports such as Marseille, Montpellier, Bordeaux, and Nantes to trade to supplement their rapidly declining inventory.

This is true for the French, the Spanish, the English, and the Ottomans. In addition to England's own strong production capacity and fewer orders, the other two countries basically buy as much as they want, and even orders are scheduled for the next year. This shows how amazing the hot sales of these products are.

Such a good sales situation undoubtedly caused market fluctuations caused by the "peerless fool" of United Province (a senior official from the East Coast Ministry of Industry and Commerce) tore up the procurement contract for wool and other commodities. Although the Dutch did not tore up the military procurement contract, the East Coast people would definitely not sell the goods to them with a cold face. The clay man is still three-point-fire, which has minimized it, which allows emerging towns such as Niuzhuang Port to still obtain enough profits to support the further development of cities and industries.

However, the development of the city has basically passed the extensive period and has begun to pursue fine development, because if it continues in such disorderly development, there will obviously be many problems. He Yuan has also been a cadre trained by the government for many years, so he has naturally seen these things, such as education, medical care and technology.

In terms of education, Niuzhuang Town needs local help to establish at least two primary schools to help residents and children outside the city to carry out the most basic primary education, otherwise the future development of the city will inevitably be limited.

Needless to say, the medical field is that a large number of people gather in small cities, and the possibility of large-scale outbreaks is extremely high. The damage that occurred in Niuzhuang before is proof (many people died that time). Now, due to the vague status of this city, it is difficult to solve even the most basic medical services. There are only two clinics opened by Ming Chinese medicine doctors in the city, which are far from meeting all needs. It was previously revealed that some fierce cattle catchers tried to kidnap doctors in the city to treat themselves because they got sick. This is enough to make people understand the importance of medical services, and this obviously requires strong local support.

Technical support is also easy to understand: the first requirement for He Yuan and He Da Town is to establish a central transmission system with a horsepower of at least 200 horsepower and an affiliated transmission system (through a large number of shaft systems), and then rent power for the craftsmen of the handicraft workshop to improve their labor productivity. Because Niuzhuang Town is still mainly composed of small handicraftsmen (self-employed) and small workshops, they do not have the ability to build a steam power system alone, and there is no corresponding technology for maintenance and improvement. Therefore, the government has established a central power workshop and then renting power uniformly, which has become an inevitable choice. This is also the method adopted by many towns on the east coast. Although more and more enterprises have begun to build their own power systems alone.

In addition, there are some other aspects such as equipment maintenance, machining, process design, ship maintenance, etc. This is also a problem that the poor and careless Niuzhuang Town cannot overcome and can only be solved by the government.

Bai Yutang carefully recorded all these one by one and prepared to submit them to his superiors for review after going back. He knew that with the current local attitude towards the Pampa Plain, He Yuan's above requirements should be met at least partially satisfied, but there is only one Niuzhuang. Other towns want to get local assistance like Niuzhuang. With the current situation where the Spaniards are jumping up and down, it is likely that it is impossible for them to rely on themselves.

After spending about a week in Niuzhuang Town, Bai Yutang and his group went to some small settlements inland under the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs police and guides. Bai, the head of the research team, planned to spend about two months to conduct a detailed investigation of these places, and have a certain degree of understanding of the local population, society and economic scale, otherwise they would not be able to go back and hand in the work.
