Chapter 10, Population, Colonization, Industrialization.

"You all came from China to travel in Southeast Asia, but do you know the situation of the Chinese in Southeast Asia?"

Erluo looked at each other.

Daluo Luo Yuanshan raised his hands and said: "Reporting to the prison country, if we Chinese want to gain a foothold in Nanyang, most of us have to make a living under the hands of the Dutch. Even the villages of Luo, Liu, Ye, and Chen in Lanfang country have to be hanged by the Dutch.

flag."

"So, the Chinese Kapitan who are doing big business in Nanyang basically either sell mines or pigs."

"Selling mines? Selling pigs?"

"Selling mines means mining, selling ores to the Dutch, and selling pigs means selling piglets."

"Selling piglets" Zhu Daohua pondered for a moment, then nodded.

He was also a Cantonese in his previous life, and his hometown was also the hometown of overseas Chinese. Of course he knew what selling piglets was like.

They just have the same name.

Zhu Daohua asked.

"Can we do this business of buying mines and piglets?"

"Martin, Daohua Trading Company will invest 100,000 pounds in the early stage to build a steelmaking plant. You can invest in it with your technology. In addition to ensuring my steel needs in the early stage, another important thing is to train workers."

at the same time

He is more famous in history for being an important figure in improving the steam engine.

Among them, the Army and Navy Academy has the highest recruitment requirements.

But now James Watt is very depressed.

They all need people!

Whether it is industrialization or colonization.

He owns a machinery manufacturing factory.

Until he got investment from Matthew Bolton, a businessman in Birmingham,

Therefore, at this stage, Zhu Daohua can easily obtain iron ore resources from Borneo and Java Island by sea.

In addition to expanding the army.

For Zhu Daohua.

There is a lack of super large iron mines like Anshan.

Zhu Daohua is once again drawing a blueprint for the use of steam engines for Watt.

But this Martin is also a senior steel training expert.

And in this era.

Watt's long-term lack of funds led to a very bumpy road to the improvement of steam engines.

In Watt's opinion, Zhu Daohua is undoubtedly the best boss in the world.

A white man with only a few long hairs on his head but a thick brown beard and a body as round as a wine barrel nodded repeatedly.

At present, it is only used as a water pump in coal mines, iron mines and other mining areas.

"I'm in the business of big business. Ten thousand people are never too few, and one million people are never too many! Brothers Luo, can you please help me contact the Chinese leader of the piglet business and tell me that I need people very much. The more people I have, the more people I can get."

The better!”

"That's ok!"

Those under the age of sixteen must be proficient in writing and at least be literate.

Because Zhu Daohua is unswervingly optimistic about the future of steam engines.

This man is really brave.

Inventor, entrepreneur.

However, there is no shortage of various small iron ore resources.

Because there are too many natives in Nanyang, it would take too much energy to occupy them - wouldn't it be nice to have the energy to occupy Guangdong?

therefore.

"Well, Chinese mining is basically concentrated in Borneo, which is the territory of the Dutch. As for selling piglets, it is possible, but it is a bit unscrupulous. The piglets are sold to plantations and work like slaves all day long.

I only get one or two silver coins per month." Luo Dingshan interjected.

The interests of the Chinese in Southeast Asia are bound to the Dutch to a certain extent.

He only knew the name of the so-called open-hearth steelmaking, but did not know the specific process.

British.

Zhu Daohua asked.

But the current efficiency of steam engines is too low.

There was simply no big market for the steam engines manufactured by Watt.

Like most new inventions when they were first born.

Draw a pie.

Because the current steam engine can barely be put into actual production use.

Zhu Daohua knows only too well the importance of skilled technical workers in this era.

The requirements for the craftsman camp are young people under the age of twenty who are agile and agile.

Erluo was speechless.

Zhu Daohua did not have much territorial claims in Nanyang.

Erluo looked at each other.

If we want to continue to improve, we need continuous investment in research and development and improvement.

Zhu Daohua nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head and looked to the other side.

Population is the basis!

Watt received support from Zhu Daohua. With Zhu Daohua's support, Watt's research work has made great progress in recent years.

This is a strategic location and must be captured.

A preliminary metallurgical industry was established.

If there are not enough skilled workers.

But that doesn't mean he will leave this land to Westerners.

James Watt.

in history.

Zhu Daohua smiled.

Next to Zhu Daohua.

"No problem, Your Highness, as long as the supply of iron ore can be guaranteed, the steelmaking plant will be established soon."

This requirement is not high in modern times.

"Using vehicles and ships pulled by steam engines. If it can be realized, it will be a leap for human society!"

The Dutch wanted minerals and labor.

He is the technical director of a large steelmaking plant in France.

at the same time.

Zhu Daohua was also simultaneously preparing for the recruitment of the Army and Navy Officers Academy and the Craftsman Battalion.

But in this era where the illiteracy rate is 80 to 90 percent, not many can meet the standards.

The person in charge of the iron smelting project was a Frenchman named Pierre-Emile Martin.

Boss Zhu doesn’t know anything else.

Whether it is military expansion or production expansion.

Luo Yuanshan said: "If it makes more money than working, I will naturally do it!"

Zhu Daohua clapped his hands.

This enabled Watt to receive better equipment funding and technical support, especially in terms of processing and manufacturing technology.

Zhu Daohua has little research on steelmaking.

The "crucible steelmaking method" he mastered is also the most advanced steelmaking technology of this era.

besides.

Zhu Daohua will not take the land of Nanyang for the time being.

Nanyang is not an iron ore belt.

These Nanyang natives cannot provide that - although there are many Nanyang natives, they are quite lazy, and their output is not as high as that of the hard-working and involuntarily Chinese.

When I heard this name.

In other words, work can be output.

Ordnance factories, shipyards, iron smelting, steelmaking and other industries cannot expand in scale.

His territorial claim in Nanyang is just the Malacca Sea Knight.

Do you really have the ambition to regain your sight?

Recruiting troops was just the first thing Zhu Daohua did in Batam.

In 1776, he manufactured the first steam engine with practical value. After a series of major improvements, it became a "universal prime mover" and was widely used in industry. He opened up a new era of energy utilization for mankind and brought mankind into

"Age of Steam".

"I don't care whether they are ignorant of their conscience or not. Do you think these piggies are willing to serve as soldiers?"

"James, what do you think? I am very optimistic about the future of steam engines."

Zhu Daohua thought it was Pierre-Emile Martin who invented the open-hearth steelmaking method in history, but he quickly realized that Martin, who invented the open-hearth steelmaking method, was not born yet.

I am very lucky to be able to return from France as a steel-training engineer.

One million people is not too few

Could it be.

Dogs can do it.

"Boss, don't worry. If vulcanized rubber really has the properties you described, then the problem of the energy efficiency of steam engines will be solved."

James Watt beat his chest and confirmed.

Zhu Daohua nodded slightly: "We have purchased a large amount of rubber. The climate here in Nanyang is also very suitable for rubber growth. I think there is no problem with the source of rubber."
