Chapter 62 New Era No. 16: Golden Valley
Jixiang, a disciple of Qitade, one of the founders of the Empire Machine Tool/Coal-Steel Complex, the son of Jeddah, a Turgutnogai native who has been serving as Minister of Industry and Mining. He is now a senior official in Gauteng Province, the governor of South Africa.
Mayor of Gobi.
Early this morning, Jixiang left Yigobi (Johannesburg), and took only a few guards and embarked on the road leading to Wanbo.
In the morning light, he kept looking back at this city full of his sweat and hard work, and his heart was full of pride.
Like his father, he has been in the industrial and mining industry. Now he is in his early thirties and has become a senior official in the governor's jurisdiction. It is not because of his expertise and qualifications in industrial and mining.
As soon as he arrived here, he was shocked.
With Yigaobi as the center, the area within a radius of about two hundred miles is full of various high-quality minerals, copper, iron, coal and gold. The reason why Yigaobi is famous is not because Tswana people gather here in gold rush
To.
After Wengketai took over the place, he did not first mine copper ore, but first mined gold, diamond ore and coal mine. Compared with the coal mines near Wangbu, the mining conditions here are better and the quality is better.

This is close to a tributary of the Fal River, the largest tributary of the Orange River. There is no shortage of water resources. The plateau is more than 1,000 meters high and the climatic conditions are extremely ideal. In addition to mining and smelting, agricultural production is also carried out in the valley.
A good place.
This measure of Onktei brought him many benefits. Now he has mined ten gold mines near Yigaobi, with an annual output of up to thirty tons of gold. Due to the large amount of use, he only needs to pay some cheap industrial products and cloth as a reward.
The Tswana people have a profit of more than 30%. With this one, they can earn nearly 700,000 silver coins every year.
In addition, although the diamond mine was the first to be mined in the empire and has just matured recently, jewelry made by combining this item and gold is now popular all over the world. With this item, the South African Governor's jurisdiction can harvest another 300,000 teru
Piano silver coins.
Added up to one million!
One million is enough to support the entire Governor's jurisdiction who needs financial payments.
In addition, the civilian industrial products, such as knives and kitchenware produced here are very popular among the surrounding black tribes. Even the blacks in Botswana and Zimbabwe have emerged as merchant groups, and they have come here to purchase. In addition to the accumulated ones in their hands
A small piece of gold and sand are animal fur.
The profits of this item are also very considerable, so Yigaobi has become a trading center again.
People are all subtly influenced. The Tswana people and the Shona people in Zimbabwe are all settled in agriculture and animal husbandry, and the degree of civilization is high. Seeing this, many people have flocked to this place to farm and work, so they will further
Intensified the prosperity of the Golden Valley.
Nowadays, the Governor's jurisdiction has gradually changed from paying only daily necessities and clothes to paying part of Truchen silver coins at the beginning, which shows that the Governor's jurisdiction's financial and financial capabilities have been greatly enhanced.
Although compared with the Indian Governor's jurisdiction, both population and food production are insufficient, due to the rich and convenient mineral resources here, it is not impossible to surpass India in time.
For a pre-industrial era place, the only disadvantage is that it is too far away from large ports. If a railway is opened, it will be equipped with wings to take off and it will be out of control.
The copper mine production here is second only to the east of the northern mountain range. It originally belonged to Paraboruwa in Mozambique, but Paraboruwa only has copper mines, and thermal coal needs to be transported from Wanbu. In comparison, the Golden Valley
It's a system.
Jixiang rode his horse all the way south in the morning light. It was the turn of summer and autumn in the Golden Valley (Southern Hemisphere), which was the most suitable time. In addition, the sky and the earth were far away, don’t be too relaxed and happy to ride on the spacious cement road.

After riding for about half an hour, a residential settlement appeared in front of me, which was also a small gold mine, and a group of people came towards me!
When Jixiang saw the big flag in the team, he was happy and quickly urged the horse to meet him.
It was naturally Qitade's inspection team. Jixiang got off the horse about thirty meters away from the team, and then trotted to Qitade and knelt down on one knee.
"My deputy, Deputy Chief Executive of the Governor-General of South Africa, and a senior official from Gauteng Province pays a good visit to His Majesty"
Qitad nodded and looked at the person with appreciation.
Jeddah and Suleiman brothers are all his personal disciples, and they are also the ones who tried to produce machine tools, guns, firebricks, blast furnaces, and various molds in the North Caucasus. Later, a Sangkun appeared, all of them were in these.
People who are very interested in things and have a special understanding.
He himself was a mining and smelting mechanical engineer in his later generations. If he had not been blessed with this skill, it would have been a question whether he could rise in Europe.
Fortunately, he was lucky. After Orlook took over the west coast of the Caspian Sea, he either massacred or drove away the Noga people there. Finally, they migrated to the north coast of the Black Sea. All the remaining craftsmen were craftsmen. Noga craftsmen were not only in the soil.
Erhut is famous and very famous in Russia. He has entered various Russian workshops to do work.
The Nogae people are not visible in the nomadic tribe, but they are unique in the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea area. After receiving the blessing of the knowledge of Qitade in later generations, they are even more powerful.
Jixiang himself also attended the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Truqin University. At the beginning, this department could only be taught by Qitade himself. Jixiang was one of the first graduates.
"Get up"
After Jixiang got up, he took Qitade's reins in his hand. While holding the horse, he introduced him to the settlements, farmland, mines, and workshops along the way.
Qitade nodded from time to time, and finally sighed sincerely: "It's really an amazing place, thank you all for your hard work."
After arriving at Yigobi City, Qitad and his party came to the mayor's residence. After a short rest, he immediately held a meeting. Before everyone could speak, he took the lead and said: "This place is really good, so the railway planning and construction should be done soon.
Implementation has begun”
"Once the railway is opened, this place will usher in a real takeoff"
Thinking of the things that happened in the future, "I need to vigorously immigrate here"
He doesn't want the fruit of victory to be picked by others.
"According to your words, the Tswanans and Shona are larger than the Zulus. From now on, they can only be absorbed on a small scale, and they must not pour in all of them."
"The Zulu and Basudans in South Africa must be controlled at the same scale after the war between the Swazilands ends. There are also many Tswana people here, and immigrants must exceed them."

"The investment in railways is carried out by the local government. Before that, you need to accumulate profits and use them for immigration"
At this time, Jixiang has completely relaxed.
"Your Majesty, you are also carrying a reorganized army. With such a large formation, you must not only come to South Africa. Although there are many natives here, the military strength in your jurisdiction is enough to cope with it."
Qitade gave him a blank look.
"That's natural. First of all, the reorganizer has just completed the training and needs to be trained to know what. Secondly, after our country received compensation from Russia and Prussia, the financial resources have been greatly enhanced. With the accumulation of experience, it is time for a new era.
It's time for a round of mass immigration"
"I didn't tell you in detail along the way, I can say it now"
"I received news when I was in Bogda that a coup occurred in Siam, and the country was in chaos. At the same time, Japan is planning actions against our country in recent years."
