Shi Qinjie is a middle-aged man in his thirties. Before traveling, he was just an ordinary clerk of the Agricultural Bureau of a certain county. Later, he had been hiding in Jinkola's agricultural system and engaged in the planning and policy formulation of some agricultural production. This time, he developed the island of Gascar. I don't know who he had followed. In addition, many people have a fear of coming to this undeveloped tropical region, which actually made him become the crucial captain of the Madagascar Development Team and became one of the only two "frontier officials" in China (the other is Mo Ming, the captain of the South African Development Team).
After successfully obtaining this position, Shi Qinjie did not sit in the domestic office and wait for remote control, but took the initiative to apply to the front line. The Executive Committee met his requirements, so he took a Spanish merchant ship to help transport supplies from Dongfang Port to Hezhongbao. Then, he followed Li Yi's return to transport people and the fleet of transporting goods to arrive here.
After getting off the ship, Shi Qinjie didn't bother to find a place to rest to relieve the slightly severe seasickness symptoms after his long-distance voyage. Instead, he immediately convened several responsible personnel from the Anziranana colony to meet with him to learn about the current progress of the colony's construction.
"First of all, I want to officially announce it here. With the approval of the Executive Committee, the Anziranana colony of Madagascar was officially renamed the New China Colony. The city currently under construction has been officially named Xinhua Fort." Shi Qinjie, who had a pale face, sat on the only table in the house and said weakly: "The New China Colony is full of waste and everything is booming, and you still need to work together to create brilliance. Well, I won't say much. Now who will tell me about the situation here? I'm just a newcomer and don't know anything, who will come?"
Taoist Shou, Pei Suoning, Kyle and others looked at each other, and finally Taoist Shou cleared his throat and said, "Since we landed in the New China Colony on May 5 this year, we have completed a number of construction projects so far. There are wooden trests, simple port roads and other wharf facilities; 22 brick and tile buildings such as dormitories, warehouses, health centers, canteens, and bathhouses in Xinhuabao urban area; there are a logging camp, a small brick kiln, and a Coconut Tree Creek Reservoir project under construction recently, which is roughly so many."
After listening to Taoist Shou's introduction, Shi Qinjie closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he opened his eyes, squeezed a smile on his face, and said, "I did a good job. I will report your achievements to the Executive Committee truthfully. Now tell me, have you encountered any difficulties?"
"There are indeed many difficulties." This time, Taoist Shou came forward to answer. He opened a small notebook he carried with him, which recorded some things with symbols that he probably knew: "It is mainly a matter of personnel and materials. As for personnel, as of last night, 34 slaves, 3 supervisors and 1 soldier had died for various reasons. In addition, there were 20 slaves, 2 supervisors and 1 army platoon leader, who had been infected with malaria, 3 slaves were infected with dysentery, and 4 slaves were missing; a total of 68 people were found in total.
I lost my labor capacity. As for the materials, we have built a small earth kiln and initially solved the problem of brick supply. Next, we are also preparing to find opportunities to set up the lime kiln and cement kiln, and strive to produce these two crucial building materials as soon as possible. However, there are not many people here who understand this industry, and the second is that the manpower is tight, so there is no action yet. Captain Shi, can you see if you can react to your superiors and ask local technicians to support some building materials factories to increase our technical strength."
"Give the sick army platoon leader to treat it! Are the three slaves who have dysentery isolated?" Shi Qinjie asked. After receiving the affirmative answer from Taoist Shou, he continued: "I will write a letter to the local area to ask some technicians from the building materials factory to come over. However, far water cannot quench the near thirst, you still have to stay on your own, pick some clever slaves, teach them, and then you can relax. I also brought a lot of supplies and manpower this time, well, 400 short-term training slaves and 30 Eight Banner supervisors. The materials are mainly red bricks, cement, lime and grain. Of course, these building materials may not be brought in the future, which can save us a lot of valuable transportation tonnage."
"Ah, by the way, I almost forgot!" As he said, Shi Qinjie seemed to suddenly recall something important, and he said seriously: "There is another big thing. In a while, you will send someone to the navy ship to take down a batch of saplings. Be careful. These saplings are very precious. We have entrusted a lot of favors and spent a lot of money to get rubber trees from Brazilians. There are more than 500 rubber trees in total. The New China Colony has rich rainfall, humid and hot climate, and the soil is also slightly acidic brick red soil, which is very suitable for the growth and reproduction of rubber trees. Choose a place with a high terrain and smooth drainage, clean all the originally mixed trees there for me, and then plant these rubber seedlings. From now on, I will send a dedicated person to maintain it every day. If there is any problem, I will not spare anyone."
"I understand." Taoist Shou and others nodded, saying that they would pay attention to this matter.
"Okay, I have a preliminary understanding of the basic situation." Shi Qinjie said simply, "Now I will go to each site in person to go around. Taoist Shou, please accompany me! The others will go out for a meeting, everyone will be busy with their own things, hurry up!"
Within the next two days, Shi Qinjie, who took office as a new official, accompanied by Taoist Shou, carefully inspected the main urban area, logging camps, brick kilns, Coconut Shuxi Reservoir construction site, docks and other places. Then, surrounded by soldiers, he comforted more than 20 malaria patients in the health center, and promised them some blank checks that may never be fulfilled. After a preliminary understanding of the current situation of the New China Colony, Shi Qinjie's own mind was gradually clear about the construction and planning blueprint for this colony.
The most important thing is the Coconut Shuxi Reservoir Project. Taoist Shou and others thought it was good before. The reservoir must be built before the rainy season. This is not only of great significance for flood control and discharge, but also of great significance for agricultural production. After carefully examining the nearby terrain and environment, Shi Qinjie, who was born in the agricultural department, felt that a large rice planting area could be planned in the plain area along the coast. This rice planting area can be irrigated based on the irrigation network derived from the Coconut Shuxi Reservoir for irrigation. There is no problem in harvesting rice for two seasons a year. There is also a short-term crop such as sweet potatoes and potatoes in the middle of the rice season. In short, the agricultural potential is very huge. The only thing you need to worry about is that these brick red soils are generally acidic soil, but this is not a big problem. At that time, the soil can be improved with lime.
As important as the Coconut Shuxi Reservoir Project, the construction of lime kilns and cement kilns is naturally the construction of lime kilns. These two projects that are related to the development potential of the colony are of great importance, but fortunately they are not very urgent. Because the cement transported two times before was huge, the lime stock is enough for a long time to be used here. Therefore, Shi Qinjie felt that he could send most of his men to build the reservoir. As for building cement kilns and lime kilns, it only takes a few dozen people to stay, and there is no hurry anyway.
Apart from these two important projects, the urban construction that followed could slow down a little. With the current strength of the New China Colony (more than 80 musketeers, more than 50 armed supervisors and more than 600 slightly loyal slaves), there is really no force nearby except the Portuguese west of the strait that can pose a threat to this side. As for the Arabs, Comoros in the Marenga region of the West, and the European pirates on St. Mary's Island in the southeast, they really don't have much combat power. After all, at the critical moment, the more than 600 slaves in the New China Colony can also be armed. These slaves were told in advance that they would be free after a year and receive a large amount of money from the government, and then return to their hometown to reunite with their families. Therefore, they still have a certain degree of loyalty to the people of the East Coast.
In addition, the construction of logging camps outside the city is even more optional. They are not the focus of the near-term planning at all. They can only be used as a long-term plan. After the new China Colonial solved the above important projects, how to develop local rich wood - especially hardwood resources, may be put on the agenda. There are many red sandalwood in the local and southern mountains, and yellow sandalwood are precious hardwood resources. These trees are termite-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and can be used to make high-end furniture, musical instruments and shipbuilding. Although this tree is not as suitable as Brazilian suma and teak, it is not a problem to build warships, and is at least much better than the pine wood widely used by the Dutch. Given the current shortage of maritime transportation capacity in China, local wood resources can be vigorously developed in the future to feed back to the domestic shipbuilding industry.
In addition to the above, in Shi Qinjie's mind, in the future, this place will introduce Southeast Asian teak and lychee and other tree species with great economic value suitable for local growth; the southern mountainous areas will also find ways to introduce Chinese tea trees; the shrimp breeding industry will also be vigorously developed in New Huaxia Bay (Anzilanana Bay). If these plans can be gradually realized, then the hot land of the New Huaxia Colonial will surely become one of the richest lands in the entire East Coast Republic of China. After all, the environment here is too unique, and nature's gifts to it are too rich. In addition, the construction of logging camps outside the city seems even more optional, and it is not planned in the near future.
The key point is only as a long-term plan. After solving the above important projects in the New China Colony, how to develop local rich wood - especially hardwood resources - may be put on the agenda.
