The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas
Chapter 1676: Development in Alaska (1)
Looking north, there is an endless wilderness in the distance, mountains and lush forests, this is Alaska!
Looking south, there is an endless sea.
In front of me is a small patch of fields, planted with different crops. The temperature in the local environment is not high, but the crops are growing well.
Several people were busy in the field. They measured the length of the plants, recorded the growth of the crops, and then gathered them together with a middle-aged man dressed in common clothes and barefoot. He was not a farmer, but a member of the North American Development Corporation's Agricultural Affairs Group. Chief Agricultural Engineer Zhao Tianbao.
Zhao Tianbao has a dark complexion. He has been exposed to the sun frequently. He has a strong physique and likes to drink tea. He can make tea whenever possible. He is not addicted to tobacco and alcohol. He is clear-headed, shrewd and strong. He was originally from the Ministry of Husbandry and was based in Mobei. Senior agricultural officials organize agricultural production in places where the weather is cold and the birds are at the level of the bird, and they have achieved remarkable results. They have made a great contribution to the self-sufficiency of Mobei's food. They are a pragmatic and steady style.
Officials in both China and China are now treated well, but it is not easy to be an official. It is clear before that if you do not collect taxes when you become an official and do not impose agricultural taxes forcibly, you will be praised by the world, thinking that you do not win or compete with the people.
However, in the new dynasty, both virtue and talent are emphasized, and what contribution the officials make to the court determines the level of official position.
For example, in Mobei, the development of agriculture in such an area requires careful care and more attention than the Great Wall South to meet the hard target of food self-sufficiency, and Zhao Tianbao has done it.
The North American Development Corporation paid a high price to poach him away and became the commander of agricultural development in Alaska, with high hopes for him.
No matter how bitter the Alaska region is, it must develop agriculture and achieve self-sufficiency in food!
This is very important. This area is far away from China’s grain-producing areas by sea, and long-distance transportation is expensive. I’m afraid that it’s more expensive to transport to here, and if the wind and waves drove the food ship away, wouldn’t everyone be hungry and take long-distance transportation. The food tastes bad and it is very uneconomical. .
The southeast country created today is a country of immigrants, and the first thing to succeed is self-sufficiency in food!
Grainless instability is not built, Zhao Tianbao accepted the important task and asked him to be self-sufficient in food within three years.
The first year was mainly for trial planting. They brought a lot of seeds, including rye, bare oats, alfalfa, rapeseed, and even highland barley from Tibet, all of which are crops in cold regions. Let’s see how they grow. What's the situation, decide what to plant on a large scale in the second year.
The fleet to Alaska departed in 1656 and stopped in Vladivostok to spend the winter. In the spring of the following year, General Siberian Winter stopped for a while, and the fleet was dispatched and reached the waters of Bristol Bay in southern Alaska, blocked by the Alaska Peninsula. People on the sea route stopped moving, landed there, searched for a suitable place to establish a camp, and named it "North American New City."
They started building camps madly. Unlike before, they no longer pursue concrete and steel structures, but build wooden houses, because experts have found that wooden houses have ten times better thermal insulation performance than cement houses!
Dry wood is cold-proof and has good effect. It is convenient to build wooden houses, saves cement, and uses precious cement to build city defenses, ports and roads.
Everyone worked together, working on buildings, city halls, accommodation houses, warehouses, heating systems, etc., to strive for a decent camp when this winter arrives.
All people guarantee good accommodation conditions, after all, General Siberia Winter is not a vegetarian.
Don't give up anyone, everyone can live in a warm house.
In less than three months, a city capable of accommodating 10,000 people was initially established.
After stabilizing for a while, they stretched out their tentacles and sent personnel to hunt everywhere, explore the geology, and draw maps.
The resources here are very rich. Large tracts of virgin forests have never been developed. There are many animals. People hunted sea otters, blue foxes, red foxes, and sables in estuaries and forests to obtain their precious furs. After processing, they can be sent to you. Go back to China for profit.
There are so many furs available here, and people get tens of thousands of furs a year.
The fishery resources are even more abundant. There are large schools of swimming fish in the sea, which are quite dense. You will get a harvest if you just drop the net. As a result, the fishermen worry, the nets they bring are too large, and the catches are so heavy. It can't be dragged up.
The fishermen had no choice but to make the fishing nets smaller, and the fishermen cursed. Soon they didn’t need too many fishermen and they went ashore to do other things.
Because there are too many fish caught, there is no need!
There are also many whales, walruses, and seals in the surrounding waters. One island is full of walruses, and the other is full of seals. Whales spray water on the beach.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, everyone was watching the excitement on the beach. The two small boats were only 20 people. They worked together to hunt a 15-meter-long whale in the bay and stabbed a harpoon. Into the whale's body, it churns, the sea dyes it red.
People dragged the dead whale ashore, and then it was about to be divided, fat boiled, and the meat was marinated. Then there was lamp oil and meat. This way is for the new fishermen in Alaska.
That big whale was not the first victim. The whaling team continued to kill whales, killing 22 whales that year, and getting as much as 100 tons of meat!
The seashore has become a fish drying ground. People turn the dried fish, and then the unlucky ones are the seabirds. In that year alone, people killed 20,000 seabirds, and the seabirds in this sea area were empty.
For the seabirds: the two-legged beasts are drying their fish in broad daylight. Wouldn't they give them free rations and don’t have to go fishing in the wind and waves, it’s beautiful!
The seabirds happily lowered their mouths, but did not expect that there is a species called "Cantonese" among the two-legged beasts. Those seabirds ate dried fish in front of them. Wouldn't they give them free rations and could shoot and kill a large number of them without walking around? Seabirds are used to make soup, so cool!
The use of gunpowder guns wasted ammunition, and the Cantonese widely used crossbows, a reusable, low-cost weapon.
It is impossible to use a bow. Cantonese are not Mongolians. They don't have the ability to use a bow and have no time to train.
Because there is no need to pay attention to the shooting speed, the smart Cantonese carry the crossbow, and the hit accuracy is high. Many Cantonese have become master bird hunters.
Especially when using a telescope-style sniper bow to put the seabirds in the aperture, and shoot them one by one.
The smashed bird is simmered with nourishing red dates, wolfberry and sliced ginger. The soup is easy to carry. Cantonese people never lack this kind of soup. After simmering for a few hours, it becomes an old hot soup~www.wuxiaspot.com~It tastes delicious Very appetizing.
In addition to seabird soup, Cantonese people swim in the water except boats, those who walk on the ground except people, and those flying in the sky except clouds, birds and beasts, they can cook soup as much as possible, and boil the first-class old fire soup to increase appetite and supplement nutrition. .
Comrades from other provinces had to convince themselves: "We Chinese can survive everywhere in the world, but if we want to live well, we must bring Cantonese!"
Everyone agreed: "Give me a Cantonese and we can conquer the world!"
With Cantonese, this is the secret of successful immigration today. It is known as "I have a soup in my hand, I have the world!"
I am very proud that a large mine was found near the bay that year, containing resources such as gold, silver, and copper. It was also one of the locations in the treasure map that Yan Changwu sent to Wang Zhinan, the chairman of the Development Corporation.
The news was sent back by the clippers. In the second year, a full 8,500 people came by boat, too late to arrange for them to live in the city, and there were tents all over the beach!
