Chapter 59: Unity River (18)

"The King of Yan is here!" The weather was a little hot in the afternoon, and the workers in the road construction team looked weak and slowly stammering. Even the supervisors who supervised them were almost the same, and they were hiding in the shade of the trees and chatting nonsense.

However, with the roar of the news, the situation suddenly became different. First, the supervisors jumped up, waved the whip in their hands in the road construction team's labor group, and kept scolding: "You lazy people, the cheap things, you are lazy and not staring at you for a while. Get up quickly, fuck, lazy people! Work!"

The Indians who were working slowly, the Mestiso suddenly wailed and their hands were involuntarily speeding up their movements. The weather was so hot that it was too hot that people could not bear it, their hands and feet were weak, and their bodies were tired. Generally, at this time, the supervisors would relax supervision "humanly" so that these poor workers could have some breathing opportunities. This was a tacit understanding between the two sides for a long time. But now there was no way. The leader was coming to visit, and the supervisors could not open their eyes and close their eyes anymore. The workers could only cheer up and do their best to work.

Soon, in less than ten minutes, Xiao Guang, director of the Tuanjiehe Regional Military Control Office, arrived at the construction site like lightning with a group of guards. "King Xiao Yan" quickly turned over and dismounted, threw the whip to the staff behind him, and then climbed into an observation post built on the high ground, overlooking the earth.

"How many workers are working here at present?" He asked the captain of the police squadron of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who is responsible for the security work here. The squadron has about 150 people, all of which have horses, and is extremely motivated. He is stationed on the periphery and does not undertake the task of supervising workers.

"There are about 4,500 people, more than half of them are Guarani from Paraguay. The rest are quite diverse, including Tupi Indians from the local area, Mestiso and Crandi people from the south, all of which are brought through various channels." The squadron leader replied honestly.

"How is the medical assistance system established?" Xiao Guang asked again.

According to regulations, even non-national labor workers have the right to enjoy the most basic medical services (of course, it is charged). Although these services are very poor and cannot treat any diseases at all, and the medicines prescribed are basically placebo, this is still very important for the large group of non-national labor workers, although most of them are reluctant to use money to treat the disease when they are in trouble and fever.

In addition, even though these doctors have average technical skills, they have received a certain level of relevant education and are not unfamiliar with health and epidemic prevention. Therefore, at this point, they are actually the saviors of many labor camps. Laborers do not understand epidemic prevention, but doctors understand that this helps them avoid many fatal diseases, especially infectious diseases.

"Not really." The squadron leader was a wonderful person. To be honest, "The newcomers are all medical students in their twenties, and their level is very limited. Even our people are sick and they don't want to see them. They would rather ride horses to the village. But it doesn't matter. The workers' income is too low and they can't leave the camp. They can only find these new doctors. This gives them a lot of mobile phone training and may be able to grow up early."

"Haha, it sounds like a large training base. In the future, when county-level hospitals expand and shortage of staff, they can take it over." Xiao Guang smiled and said.

His current location is Yangping County, a county newly established in the middle of last year (1700), with Yangping Town, Donglouzi Township, Songbo Township, Xingfa Township, Zeshan Township and Xiande Township. It is the 198th county-level administrative unit in the country, with a population of nearly 15,000. At the same time, there is also Huangya County, which is under the jurisdiction of Huangya Town, Maimang Township, Xilouzi Township and Fangyuan Township. It is the 199th county-level administrative unit in the country, and currently has a population of nearly 10,000.

The establishment of these two counties highlights the central government's emphasis on the Tuanjie River Basin. A small remote and poor area has established several counties in just a few years, and it can also have a considerable population, which is rare across the country.

There are also many gold mines in these two counties, as well as the output of mineral resources such as silver, copper, lead, tin, iron, jade, gems, diamonds, etc., and the ability to create wealth is quite strong. Perhaps this is the reason why the central government provides important support here. The investment of money is effective and the recovery speed is fast. In this difficult time of financial tension, it is of little significance.

In addition to these two counties, the State Administration of Development, under the instruction of the Executive Committee, also planned to add more than a dozen settlements in the Tuanjie River Basin in one go in the first half of this year (1701) to increase the development efforts of this area.

These settlements are: Lindong Township (near the town of Conseysand Matudentru), Jinhui Township (near the town of Diamantina), Pingpu Township (near the town of Pesania), Chungu Township (near the town of Itamarandiba Township), Fengzi Township (near the town of Maracasseta Township), Yongjin Township (near the town of Ojosdagua Township), Xinjin Township (near the town of Tourmalina Township), Zhongqiu Township (near the town of New Cruzero Township), Fujin Township (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (near the town of (in the town of (near the town of (in the town of (in the town of (near the town of (in the town of (in the town of (near the town of (in the town of (in the town of (in the town of (in the town of (in the town of (in the town of (in the town of (in the town of (in the town of (in the town of (in the town of (in the town of (in the town of (in the town of (in the town

Located near the town of Cristalia in later generations), Fushan Township (near the town of Arasuayi in later generations), Dongqu Township (near the town of Itaubin in later generations), Gaoding Township (near the town of Salinas in later generations), Luzhong Township (near the town of Jananba in later generations), Yongtuo Township (near the town of Saint Joónda Pence in later generations), Ling'an Township (near the town of Jaiba in later generations), Caoshan Township (near the town of Monte Azur in later generations), a total of sixteen settlements, and more than 20,000 immigrants are expected to be resettled.

Among the above settlements, there are those established purely for regional agricultural and animal husbandry production, such as Lindong, Chungu, Fengzi, Pingpu, etc.; some are established as transportation routes, such as Dongqu, Caoshan, etc.; some are also established as important places for gold mining, such as Yongjin, Fujin, Jinhui, Xinjin and other places. Each of these townships has large gold mines. Currently, militias have been stationed, mountains and roads are closed to prevent illegal gold miners from stolen from mining state resources. In the future, when the newly recruited employees of the East Coast Gold Company are completed, the company has experienced a terrifying rapid expansion over the years, and its personnel have been doubled repeatedly, but it is still insufficient to use these gold mines, which will be put on the agenda.

One thing to be noted is that among these sixteen newly set settlements, there are not only gold mines in Yongjin and other four places. In fact, more than two-thirds of these settlements have gold mines, but not big or small. There is no way, the Tuanjie River Basin is too rich, and the East Coast gold company can only focus on big and small gold mines, giving priority to gold mines with large reserves, low mining costs, and convenient transportation. Only after the personnel are expanded will it go to other ones. This undoubtedly gives private gold diggers a great profit margin, and it is also the main reason why the chronic security problems in this area are so difficult to solve.

As the highest official in the Tuanjiehe area and the director of the Military Control Office, Lieutenant Colonel Xiao Guang has always been famous for his iron-fisted rectification, and this has won him the nickname of "King Xiao Yan". However, as the public security of the older towns had just improved, sixteen new settlements were suddenly added, and most of them were rich in gold and gem resources. It is conceivable how much the public security will collapse.

How is the country short of money? Do you really want to make the annual gold production reach one hundred tons? Well, 100 tons of gold can indeed support the printing of more than 50 million fiat currency not afraid of compilation. But the problem is, will so much currency be placed on the market all at once greatly disrupt the economic order? Is the government no longer considering the inflation situation at all? Or are they already considering the possibility that foreign governments or merchants will store a large amount of gold coupons? East Coast fiat currency is about to officially become a global hard currency?

Gold is really something that makes people love and hate!

"Do a good job in security and protection. In addition, don't treat these non-national labor workers too harshly. The current mortality rate is a bit too high, try to improve it as much as possible." Xiao Guang said: "When the conditions are improved, people's hearts can be more stable, and the possibility of riots will be reduced."

Xiao Guang didn't say anything, that's the case, I could draw more armed police to solve the problem of public security. He didn't have much time in the Tuanjie River Basin. Because of his outstanding work in public security and gold production, he was recognized by his superiors and was about to be promoted to Army Colonel.

As for him, he actually hopes to return to the front-line field troops to lead troops instead of staying in the place to play hide-and-seek with the bandits. The director of the Military Control Office is usually the position where the army generals are adopted and retired, which is indeed a bit inappropriate for a young and powerful person like him.

He had previously expressed his request to lead troops to fight in Europe, but was rejected by the big bosses of the Army Department. Therefore, he settled down and decided to go to the Far East to take a look, and accumulate some experience in leading troops or even fighting. This time, the big bosses did not reject him anymore. "King Xiao Yan" would receive a transfer order within about half a year to go to the Far East to serve as the leader of a mixed regiment, and also serve as the local security commander.

Before leaving, the local monsters and monsters naturally had to clean up some, arrest and kill a group of people, so that those lawless people would be afraid, so that they could live up to his reputation as "King Xiao Yan". This undoubtedly requires sufficient troops, the trinity of armed police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, local garrison soldiers, and security regiment militias are indispensable.

In fact, they could even enter Portuguese Brazil in the name of clearing out bandits and cause some trouble. You should know that the Tuanjie River Basin borders Portugal, and some settlements established by the East Coast people have actually entered Portugal. Considering the bad records of the Portuguese reselling arms and black market transactions, the East Coast people seem to have enough reason to cross the border and punish them. As for whether they can still leave after crossing the border, that is another matter.
