Chapter 420 Exploration completed

Before departure, the executive committee had held a special meeting and had warned Qiao Zhiya about some precautions. Therefore, although Fu Li's persuasion seemed to have achieved certain results, Qiao Zhiya's attitude was still relatively cautious.

Qiao Zhiya warned: "We can provide them with a place to live and teach them to grow food or do other jobs to support themselves, but we will not directly give them money or land. You must make this clear to Huang Sanmu. As for the other things

The conditions, such as the supply of food, can be relaxed appropriately. Shizi Cave is our primary target. If this place is negotiated and dealt with, it will be relatively easy for us to contact other Li Cave."

After a good discussion, the few of them went back to their tents to rest.

In the next two days, the two parties began to negotiate some specific conditions. For example, the livelihood issue after moving outside the mountains must be detailed to how to solve the problem of everyone's residence. Before the harvest of the cultivated land can be harvested, everyone can

How much food subsidy he received, and whether Shi Zidong should be loyal to the Ming Dynasty or the Haihan Executive Committee in the future.

Some of these problems are very simple to solve, such as food supply. Feeding hundreds of people in Shizidong for a period of time will not cause too much of a burden. The number of new immigrants coming to Victory Port every month is at least thousands, and there is no such thing.

The logistics department will be destroyed. Once these people move out of the mountains and move to the area under the jurisdiction of the Executive Committee, they will naturally become immigrants during the inspection period. Financially, they will also receive special allocations from the Executive Committee, and their livelihood will definitely not be a problem.

.

But some things are more difficult to solve now. For example, the land policy implemented by the executive committee is somewhat unacceptable to Huang Sanmu. He believes that since the Haihan side’s relocation plan is to use other land to replace the existing Shizi Cave

In some jurisdictions, the new land acquired in exchange should belong to the Li people in Shizidong, rather than still belonging to the aloof Haihan Executive Committee.

Why does the Executive Committee have to be so stubborn about collective land ownership? Fu Li has also attended relevant training courses, but the theory he learned is too superficial, and the depth of understanding is also very limited. For people like Huang Sanmu who have never experienced

To the Li people who have been to the mountains several times, Fu Li's propaganda is tantamount to playing the harp on a cow, and once one of the parties accepts the dead end, it will be difficult to proceed with this kind of negotiation.

As a last resort, Fu Li had no choice but to change his explanation, saying that as long as the Li people in Shizitong were willing to be brought under the rule of the executive committee, then after obtaining the naturalized native place, the cultivated land they cultivated would also be

The protection and recognition of the Executive Committee - of course, this recognition is not land ownership, but the right to use it. But this kind of word-picking is a detail that Huang Sanmu will not notice at all. As for what he will do in the future

Fu Li was not worried about what would happen if he discovered something was wrong. When these people were truly incorporated into the Haihan social system, they would soon find that the power of an individual or a very small number of people was simply not enough to fight against this powerful force.

System. Even though there are hundreds of people in Shizidong, they are just a small screw in the huge machine in the Haihan social system and will not affect the operation of the entire system.

Regardless of whether it was persuasion or coaxing, with Fu Li's efforts, the special task force finally reached a preliminary agreement with Huang Sanmu. The Haihan Chamber of Commerce will provide Shizidong with a piece of cultivated land in three months.

There will be no less than 3,000 acres of living land, and houses and basic living facilities will be built locally in advance. In addition, after the Li people move to the local area, they will be taught more advanced food farming methods. Before the first harvest is obtained,

, the food and production tools of these Li people will be provided free of charge by the Haihan Chamber of Commerce.

What the Li people in Shizidong need to do is to cooperate with the Haihan Chamber of Commerce in the exploration and development of the nearby area within three months, and move away from the place when the agreement takes effect. The last and most important thing is naturally to enter the new area.

After settling in the territory, he swore allegiance to the Haihan Executive Committee.

Regarding the last point, Huang Sanmu still has some scruples. After all, the Li people have been unable to get out, largely because they could not defeat the Han court, and the image of the Ming court in their minds is still that of a giant, not the Haihan Chamber of Commerce.

Such a group of people whose strength is unknown can be compared. But Fu Li finally convinced him to accept this, because Fu Li implored him to send an envoy to go to Yazhou under the rule of the Haihan Executive Committee to see the local situation in person.

See which side's rule is more powerful.

Huang Sanmu thought about it again and again, and finally decided to send his most trusted nephew Huang Que to follow these people to see if the legendary Haihan area was really that powerful. Huang Que is now eighteen, one year older than Fuli. When he was a child, Huang Que

He was sent to Changhua and studied in a Han private school for two years. He was considered one of the few educated people in Shizidong. Normally, Huangque was fully responsible for organizing trips to Changhua City to sell local products and buy daily necessities.

.

As soon as Fu Li saw the candidate of the Huang Sanmu Sect, he knew that something big had happened. He himself had been there and knew that there were many things that fascinated people in the Haihan system. People aged 17 or 18 were the period when curiosity was strongest.

, as long as you go to the place where the Haihan people live, it is easy to get addicted to the bizarre Haihan culture and be unable to extricate yourself. Fu Li can now conclude that when Huangque returns to Shizidong in a month or two, it will definitely have become a Haihan people.

As a loyal supporter of Han Dynasty, Huang Sanmu will naturally have a lobbyist by his side.

Some words spoken by an outsider like Fu Li may not be useful, but the same words spoken by people close to Huang Sanmu should have a different effect. After Fu Li entered the Ministry of Justice, his main target was Li Miao.

The two tribes have accumulated a certain amount of work experience in this regard. After meeting Huang Que, he had already made it his next work target in his mind.

The special mission team paid a deposit of three hundred kilograms of salt, three hundred kilograms of sugar, twenty bottles of liquor and pig iron, and one thousand kilograms of rice each in exchange for the right to move freely in Shizidong in the near future. However, the special mission team did not carry so many supplies.

When entering the mountains, Shizidong had to send people to Changhua Fishing Village to carry most of the things in this transaction.

After gaining freedom of movement, the special team finally began to explore the veins of the Shilu Iron Mine on the fourth day after arriving in Shizidong. In the large database of information about the Shilu Iron Mine, there are detailed longitude and latitude records of the existing mining points.

, and there are satellite images as a reference. Although there is a time span of hundreds of years, it can still reduce the difficulty of the exploration operation led by Tian Yeyou.

The Executive Committee also specially used the stock of prospecting equipment for this operation. This equipment was used once when the Tiandu Iron Mine was developed, and then was sealed in the warehouse. With this good thing,

It is easier to determine the status of mineral veins near the surface without digging everywhere.

In addition, the special mission team also spent a "high price" of two hundred taels of silver to hire twenty young Li people from Shizidong to be responsible for digging out ore samples. Liu Shanxia was originally a little worried about this method. If this Li

What should I do if people refuse to move out after discovering the iron ore veins? But Fu Li gave a guarantee, saying that the Li people kept their promises. Since they had promised to move out of this area in the future, there was no need to worry about what would happen in the future.

Big changes.

The two hundred taels of silver were well spent. Not only did the young men they hired work very hard, they even took care of the heavy lifting in the process. This is of course directly related to their income level.

, Lidong village like Shizidong has only a small and unprosperous town like Changhua County within a hundred miles around. Don't expect to sell many mountain products. With this simple and primitive trading method, the entire village can make more than 100,000 yuan in a year.

The income is only three to four hundred taels of silver. The special team's action is almost half a year's harvest of Shizidong. Naturally, Huang Sanmu will not be stingy in letting his son-in-law have a little more strength.

In the past, Huang Sanmu had heard rumors that the Haihan people were spending lavishly, but he had no real experience. In his opinion, lavish spending was probably better than that of the Han merchants in Changhua County. For example, a deer skin could

From five cents of silver to eight cents of silver. But when the real Haihan people came to the door, he understood the meaning of the word "generous". The deposit for the agreement alone for Shi Zidong was already far more than theirs.

It is expected that the value of these goods is at least enough for all the Li people in Shizidong to struggle for several years.

After witnessing the generosity of the Haihan people with their own eyes, Huang Sanmu and his people also have more expectations for the various preferential treatments claimed by Fu Li. As Fu Li said, the people of Quandong can enjoy every opportunity.

Eating fragrant white rice every meal, no longer having to work for the Han government, paying taxes, and no longer worrying about being oppressed by the Han people, this is simply a dream that the Li people long for but have always been out of reach. Huang Sanmu's attitude

From the initial suspicion, they gradually turned into cooperation, and even took the initiative to send several old hunters in the village to act as guides for the special team in the wild activities.

With the right time, location, and people, the special mission team basically had everything covered, so the prospecting work went very smoothly. It only took five days to roughly determine the scope of the largest iron ore open-pit mining area in later generations, and explore

Understand the most convenient basic location for excavation. As long as the manpower and tools are in place, this treasure can be mined immediately. In addition, Tian Yeyou also roughly determined the location of several high-value metals such as copper, silver, and gold in the process.

The location of the mineral veins. Of course, Tian Yeyou deliberately avoided the young and strong laborers sent by Shizidong during the exploration work of these mineral veins. After all, wealth is very attractive. If these Li people knew that there were gold and silver mines here,

It’s not worth it to make something extraneous if it’s a valuable thing.

On May 20, after basically completing the exploration work, the special mission team finally embarked on their return journey. Along with them, more than 50 people from Shizidong walked out of Shilu Mountain, and they followed them to the beach to carry the agreement.

Deposit.

It took a group of nearly a hundred people two days to arrive in Changhua County. The special mission team asked the Li people to stay in the county to go through the handover procedures of rice, salt, and sugar with the people in the office, and the rest had to be taken to the beach.

It was moved on the boat.

After resting for half a day in Changhua, the group came to the seaside fishing village and delivered the last batch of goods. According to the rules of the Li people, this agreement has officially come into effect. If the Li people want to go back on their word, they must double the amount.

The deposits will be returned, and if Haihan goes back on his word, the deposits will automatically belong to Shizidong.

The Li people left carrying iron ingots and other goods in their backpacks. Only one person among them stayed, and that was Huang Que, the envoy sent by Huang Sanmu. Although Huang Que was only eighteen years old, it was probably because he had been in a Han school since he was a child.

Because of his experience, Huang Que, who single-handedly followed the Haihan people out of the mountains, did not appear nervous or at a loss. Of course, this was also related to Fu Li, who had been traveling with him. Fu Li was a man who was well versed in the cultural and cultural differences between the Haihan and Li people.

With the existence of people with values, the task force's work is indeed much easier. There is no need to bother slowly communicating with Huang Que, the representative of Shi Zidong. Everything can be left to Fu Li to handle it.

Although Tian Yeyou's main task has been completed, it does not mean that he can leave here immediately and return to Black Earth Port. Next, he has to follow the large team back to the Victory Port base camp. Firstly, he will give a staged report on the work. Secondly,

He still needs to be responsible for the analysis of these ores and the corresponding mining plans. If nothing else happens, he will have to stay on Hainan Island for at least half a year.

When Tian Yeyou received the transfer order from the executive committee, the work arrangements had been clearly written down, so he also made some corresponding preparations when he was in Heitu Port. First, he sent someone to deliver a letter to his father-in-law to inform him of the work.

Regarding the location transfer, the second is to arrange for his wife to pack up her belongings and prepare to move the family to Shengli Port. As for the place to live, there is no need to worry. For a core technical backbone like him, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has already reserved a welfare house for him, and he can stay at any time.

You can check in at any time when you come back.

On May 22, the special mission team returned to Port Victory and was immediately summoned by the Executive Committee for a face-to-face report on the operation. We need not mention the details of the mining plan. After all, analyzing the ore and formulating a plan still require a certain amount of time.

It will take time to complete. The executive committee is mainly concerned about the road survey from the Changhua coast to Shilu, and whether the local Li people in Shilu have accepted the conditions proposed by the party.

Fu Li was undoubtedly the number one contributor to the agreement with the Li people. Seeing that Fu Li had even brought back the Li people representatives from Shizidong, all the executive committee members also praised him. Gu Kai expressed his position on behalf of the Ministry of Justice on the spot.

, Fu Li must be given credit. Tao Donglai also said on behalf of the Executive Committee that a special contribution award will be awarded to Fu Li in the name of the Executive Committee at an appropriate time.
