The mining areas of the Inca Empire have already implemented mechanized transportation. Because the excavator was not developed as scheduled, currently only a loader, that is, a forklift can be used to load the ore into the truck after the explosion point explodes. xqqxs8.
But it is enough for now. The first-generation excavator of the Academy of Sciences has been built, but it is still in the experimental stage and has not been mass-produced. It will probably take another three to five years, after all performances are stable, before mass production can be achieved.
Escondida, the largest mining area in the Inca Empire, had thousands of heavy-duty trucks operating at the same time. It was a prosperous and busy scene, but Poirot was very proud of it. This was also the place he was most worthy of showing off.
Most of the oil used in all vehicles comes from Dominican Guiana (formerly French Venezuela and Guyana) because it is easier to extract.
In contrast, for oil extracted from eastern Bolivia, the total cost of pipelines and road or rail transportation is higher than that of sea transportation.
Purchasing oil that clearly belongs to South America actually doesn't cost much, because Zhu Cihong has already reached an agreement with Poirot, and the two parties are bartering at market prices, and there is no need for either party to spend real money.
Poirot didn't even need to provide refined copper. He only needed to use saltpeter to pay for the goods. This was naturally great news for the Inca Empire.
In turn, the Ming Empire will also benefit from it. Today, the Ming Dynasty is the largest arms dealer in the world, and the saltpeter purchased every year is calculated in units of 10,000-ton merchant ships.
Guyana’s refined oil products do not need to be shipped back to the mainland at all, because the cost is higher than the oil provided by the Ottomans.
The Ming Dynasty could produce tens of millions of barrels of oil with just one second-hand battleship.
Just excluding the difference in cost, it is enough for the local population to last for a year.
In order to increase strategic backup, Zhu Cixiang had previously asked his second son to develop a giant copper mine in eastern California (Arizona) with reserves of more than 50 million tons.
The reserves of the Buena Vista copper mine in Madre Occidental Province are lower, but only about 28 million tons, and both mines are open-pit, making them very easy to mine.
The development of these two giant copper mines is conducive to the settlement of the people who migrated from the mainland. Zhu Cixiang is not asking the people to come and do hard work.
Letting slaves mine, and people can drive in the mine, or do catering and other industries in the surrounding area, is also very profitable, as has been proven in the grassland mining area.
The two copper mines can easily absorb 100,000 slave miners and create thousands of jobs for the people of the Ming Dynasty.
It can not only attract immigrants, but also boost the local economy and accelerate the development of the eastern and western regions. Why not?
However, the world's copper industry center is still in the Inca Empire, where not only the reserves are huge, but also the industrial chain is approaching maturity.
The empire got started quickly by using this thing, and with its reserve advantage, it will not be exhausted for hundreds of years to come.
The heavy trucks rushing back and forth in the Escondida mining area are like giant steel dragons.
Not counting saltpeter mines, there are as many as five copper mines with similar mining scales to the Escondida mining area, and there are a bunch of smaller mining areas.
Two of the large mines are located in the Atacama Desert, where there is almost no rainfall throughout the year, which means they can be mined every day.
The mining area also faithfully implemented the emperor's order, which was to stop people and vehicles, but mining could not stop.
Contract miners can take one day off per week, and their vehicles can be regularly inspected and maintained.
After adopting the rotating rest method, the mining area is extremely busy and busy every day.
Each mine is equipped with 120% of the manpower and vehicles as per the quota, the purpose is to rotate the rest without delaying the mining quota.
It can be said responsibly that every ironclad ship in the Inca Navy was purchased with carts of ore and even the hands of slave miners.
No one pitied the slave miners, because they were either the white people who exploited the Incas, or they were lackeys who relied on the white people in the first place, and they did not deserve sympathy at all.
Even though the last Inca emperor handed over a large amount of gold and agreed to be baptized, he was still executed by the Spanish in the end...
The Inca people who have turned over remember clearly that except for the white farmers in the La Plata area, the white people in other places were either female slaves or miners.
After the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force occupied the entire Mexico, most of the captured Spanish troops and their civilians were sent to the Inca Empire to "enjoy happiness"!
Poirot also knows right from wrong. Any soldier who has served in the Viceroyalty of Peru, once found out, will never be able to leave the mining area in his life...
Cruel?
Not cruel at all!
How did the other side treat the Incas back then!
How does Poirot treat these Spaniards now!
Those fair-skinned women on the advisory board will naturally receive special treatment.
Since the advisers liked this taste, Poirot would of course tolerate it and treat it as a favor.
In addition to those who had wives and concubines in the country, many officers and soldiers of the advisory group married Spanish beauties.
On the one hand, coveting the other person's appearance and body is on the one hand, but on the other hand, you no longer have to worry about your mother's family in the future.
The other party's family has to rely on me to survive, which can satisfy the addiction of being an uncle!
When Zhu Cihong was in Lima, he also told the advisory team to just do their jobs well.
Absolutely no things that turn against customers are allowed to happen, otherwise all participants will bear the consequences.
The Inca Empire was for itself
^0^ Remember in one second【】
As for mining, Zhu Cixiang doesn't plan to go into battle himself and swing the shovel.
Attacks on allies also undermine the majesty of the Ming Empire on a global scale.
Anyone who wants to be a landlord can go to Colombia or Guyana.
Apart from the garrison there, there are almost very few settled people there.
In northern South America, one thousand acres of fertile soil is enough to feed a family.
Even so, the local people are still not very interested in migrating to South America.
Even if you come to the East, the first three provinces are California, Texas, and Occidental Madre.
The east coast had been advertising for a while, and Zhu Xiangzhen and a bunch of his brothers also sent servants who had some relationship with him to bring their families to settle there, so that it didn't turn into a completely empty land.
So much so that after Zhu Cixi arrived in Long Beach, many of his sons accused their brother of evenly splitting the issue of moving to the east coast...
After hearing this, Zhu Cihong thought that the second son was right, because the actual situation required such behavior.
The Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force that originally landed in North America amounted to more than one million people. However, the whole number was Japanese troops and the king's division was only a fraction.
The full amount is only over 200,000 yuan. Even if it is 300,000 yuan, plus the family members who are being transported one after another, it will be less than 3 million yuan.
With this small number of people spread across the vast Dongdi, there would probably be less than ten people in a town...
It is possible to set up military camps, but the situation in the East is different from that in the mainland.
Military settlements meant that the garrison population still had to be dispersed, with one thousand acres per family, and the east land eventually turned into a super farm.
Farming can provide food and drink for the military dependents, but it is still far from Zhu Xiangzhen's goal of self-reliance.
Even if you have bumper harvests year after year, you can't export food to the mainland, which also has bumper harvests year after year? ? ?
There are two simple and feasible ways to increase Dongdi's financial income. One is to develop industry, and the other is more direct, and that is mining.
Business is not impossible, provided you have enough settlers.
How can a village with only 180 settlers develop its business?
Fortunately, Long Beach's economy has developed.
Although the various factories and companies are not very large in scale, they are small and well-equipped.
The imperial court would also give Dongdi a subsidy every year, and Zhu Cihong would also give his sons a sum of money to purchase daily necessities and production equipment. Thousands of things to do
Forget about silver coins, it is true that Dongdi is short of money, but many times, even if you have a bag of money, you may not be able to buy what you like.
Especially when you go to the Indian chief to buy cowhide and beef, it doesn't matter if you have money. It depends on what kind of daily necessities you bring...
After the two giant copper mines are developed, Dongdi will no longer need to pay taxes to the court, and will have no shortage of money at all. It can also spend money to purchase massive amounts of goods from the local area.
Zhu Cixi also made it clear to his second son that he and his younger brothers could keep 10% of the money gained from developing the copper mine, and the remaining 90% must be used to resettle the people and develop the economy.
Emperor Haojing didn't want to see a bunch of his sons, with copper mines as their wallets, not doing as well as Poirot in total.
The Inca Empire took off directly with a pile of copper mines.
If East China is still like this in twenty years, then some people should stop doing it.
Although the copper mines in the Eastland are not as large in quantity, reserves, and mining time as those in the Inca Empire, the population burden is also very small.
There are tens of millions of people over there, but there are less than 10 million here, so you can’t understand life and death. Isn’t this just imbecile?
How to resettle the people, how to develop the economy, and how to encircle and suppress the remnants of the white-skinned people.
Zhu Cixiang had already formulated the relevant procedures and contents, and all his sons had to do was follow them.
Now that the leaders of the Yingxi thieves have been killed, their sons have embarrassed everyone, and most of their subordinates have surrendered, which is completely out of control.
In the past, the focus was on military offensive, but now it can be transferred to economic construction.
Every family in Yimin has a gun, and the people who moved here are mainly military relatives. There are men in the family who have served as soldiers, so it is not a big problem to stay together and protect themselves.
After visiting the mining area, Zhu Cixiang will embark on a new journey, going to the new territory that Ming Dynasty transferred from Ou Huang, that is, Brazil.
Poirot couldn't help crying because of his reluctance, and Zhu Cihong had no choice but to comfort this old friend.
I will visit here frequently in the future, at least once in five to ten years.
Not only do you want to visit the Inca Empire, but you also need to travel around the entire East, so that you can have a good idea of what it is like.
However, Brazil only has troops stationed there, not even civilians...
The people are unwilling to come because it is too far away. At most, they are willing to settle in Colombia.
Brazil and the mainland of Ming Dynasty are almost half a world apart.
Geographically speaking, it should be equivalent to the opposite corner, indeed the farthest territory.
Not to mention ordinary people, even military families were unwilling to settle here.
The soldiers had no choice but to follow orders. After arriving, they stayed for a while and then gradually got used to it.
Apart from the many mosquitoes at night and the possibility of encountering snakes during the day, other difficulties can be overcome.
On the other hand, serving in Brazil will provide you with the highest pay.
Even if he is a recruit with no experience, his monthly salary can reach fifteen silver coins when he comes to Brazil.
But this kind of thing is not the turn of the recruits, because they have to take care of their families, all of whom are serving in the north and suffering from tracheitis,
^0^ Remember in one second【】
Veterans with bronchial asthma and old cold legs come to the task.
Zhu Cihong's intention in offering high salaries to these veterans with cold zone diseases was very simple, that is, to allow them to live a long life, which was considered a great favor from the emperor.
Children and the elderly can each receive 100 acres, women of appropriate age can each receive 200 acres, and veterans and their brothers of appropriate age can each receive 300 acres. In this way, almost every military family has thousands of acres of cultivated land.
Now everyone had the nerve to complain about the court, and they didn't dare to complain about Emperor Haojing.
After all, my family suddenly became a big landowner, and all they got was fertile soil waiting to be cultivated, which could be turned into fertile land after some plowing.
The problem that arises is that there are many people in the family, but they are still too busy.
As a result, queuing up to buy tractors has become a famous local scene...
Except for the Amazon River and its rainforest in the north, which accounts for nearly half of Brazil, the rest of the country, especially the central and southern regions, are plains suitable for livestock and farming.
Zhu Cixi also hoped that the military camp could succeed in Brazil, and sent his capable general Zhou Yuji to take charge of this matter.
Controlling such a large area is no easier than going to the Rocky Mountains to encircle and suppress the remnants of the British and Westerners.
Zhou Yuji's arrangements for the emperor were quite different at first, but when he arrived, he realized that this task was indeed not easy.
At the beginning, there were few people and a lot of wasteland, and there were not even enough troops to patrol, let alone colonize.
The first to take root in Brazil were the 15,000 Ming officers and soldiers from the 31st, 32nd, and 33rd armies that attacked California led by Zhou Yuji.
Everyone thought that the war was over and that the King's Division had an absolute advantage. The emperor should have transferred everyone back to the homeland to rest so that he could be reunited with his family.
Unexpectedly, a certain emperor ordered the fleet to transport everyone to a ghost place with no shit...
When I came to Brazil, a group of people were naturally full of complaints.
Fortunately, nearly a year later, everyone can be reunited with their families, but still in Brazil!
It has become impossible to return to the hometown. From top to bottom, we have to take root locally.
Seeing that his salary was higher than before, his family members also came to live with him, and he also received a large amount of settlement allowance. He was also allocated a large area of land, and supplies were not very scarce, so he felt dissatisfied. Gradually retreated. Thousands of things to do
With Emperor Haojing's permission, all Zhou Yuji's soldiers benefited.
Officers can be allocated land ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 acres, and generals can be allocated as much as 10,000 acres.
This is unimaginable in the mainland. A general has thousands of acres of fertile land. Once he is reported, he will have to live with nothing.
Regardless of whether they are civil servants or military generals, all those who serve the imperial court will have a certain amount of land according to their rank and merit.
There is no comparison with the period of Emperor Chongzhen. That is to say, my own land can barely grow enough vegetables for my own consumption, and that's it.
This strategy is to ensure that land is not acquired from farmers, to avoid drastic land mergers, and to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
In overseas territories, there is no such scruple at all. Within the scope allowed by the court, you can eat more and occupy more.
No one cares about you if you have a hundred concubines, as long as your kidneys can handle it!
Zhou Yuji returns to his homeland on an armored ship every three years to report on the relevant situation.
It’s easier this year because Emperor Haojing came over from the mainland...
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
