It is true that Nuergandusi has a vast territory and rich products, but some things are so precious that they have to be cherished.
For example, the Siberian tiger and the sable are both treasures given by God.
Zuo Mengeng originally ignored the matter of animal protection, but it was someone from the northern legion who hunted a tiger and presented the tiger skin to him, which made him realize the hidden dangers and immediately issued an order.
Tiger hunting is absolutely prohibited, and the number of sables is strictly limited.
If we can pay attention to protection from now on, I believe that there will definitely be room for the king of beasts to survive in that vast land.
From the Siberian tiger, Zuo Mengeng even thought of the South China tiger that became extinct in the wild in later generations.
He specifically asked the cabinet to study and designate a protected area with a radius of more than 500 kilometers in the Yimeng Mountain area, and relocated all the people within this area to other places.
I believe that with such a pure land that is not disturbed by humans, the precious South China tigers can thrive and thrive.
In the future, when the territory of Xia Kingdom becomes larger and larger, more protected areas can be established for South China tigers.
From this perspective, large-scale immigration is the correct policy.
Only when the human population decreases will animals have enough space to survive.
"Everyone wake up, everyone wake up, we're here. Let's all get off the boat and have a good rest."
When Shitou and Shizi heard the shouting in the middle of Mimi Lake, they all became energetic and climbed up quickly.
Lying on the side of the ship and looking forward, I saw a lively and bustling port with countless people flowing in.
Shitou was really happy.
"Has this arrived in Jilin?"
The crew member next to him heard it and laughed out loud.
"This is Jeju Island, which is less than half way from Jilin Province."
Hearing this, the faces of the first-generation immigrants changed.
Although they had long known that Jilin Province was very far away, after drifting on the boat for nearly half a month, they only felt that everything was so long.
Especially when the sailboat is sailing on the sea, the sky is blue, the sea is blue, but there is nothing between the sky and the sea.
That feeling of emptiness and coldness is enough to drive people crazy.
The thought of having to endure a longer voyage made everyone feel a little desperate.
Fortunately, the ship docked at the dock on Jeju Island and they were allowed to go ashore and rest here for two days.
People were rocking back and forth on the boat, almost vomiting bile. At this time, being able to step on land with both feet was a nostalgic feeling.
Shitou admired the crew members even more.
How much courage do these people have to live on the sea for many years?
Jeju Island has already prepared shelter and food for immigrants.
Everyone didn't care about anything. After moving in, they had a good meal and then fell asleep.
At least half of the two days' rest was spent sleeping.
When they woke up again, everyone felt energetic. After taking a hot bath and changing into clothes, they felt like they were reborn.
The immigrants were called together.
The person who appeared in front of them was an officer of the Xia Army.
"While you're resting now, I'll teach you how to use the musket."
This statement surprised everyone.
Shitou showed his courage and expressed his feelings for everyone.
"Master Jun, we went to Jilin to farm, why are we still fighting?"
The officer's face was serious.
"There are not many people over there, and everyone is precious. If there is a war and the army lacks soldiers, it will have to recruit from among you. And there are many wild animals over there. If you don't learn how to shoot, once you encounter danger, you will
Dead."
After saying this, everyone felt at ease.
When they were in their hometown, they had already seen the army's reserves and militia.
As long as he wasn't forcibly drafted into the army, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Under the guidance of military officers, every immigrant, even a woman, learned how to operate a flintlock musket.
During the subsequent trip, some people also explained to them various common sense about living in Jilin Province. Finally, these immigrants no longer looked blankly, and somewhat gained some courage to live in a foreign land.
Unlike these farming immigrants, adventurers like Gu Dahu have more to learn.
Not only did they learn how to use muskets, but each of them was also given a weapon.
These include flintlock guns, knives, mountain axes, cotton clothes, leather boots, medical kits, compasses, lighters, and even needles and threads. Together, the backpack weighs twenty or thirty kilograms.
"These things are essential items for you to survive in the wild and must be properly preserved. Once they are lost, it is likely to cost you your life."
Every adventurer cheered up and memorized the knowledge imparted by the officers.
Duan Xiaokai, the person in charge of Jilin Province of Artistry Company, was also on the same boat with them. Only then did he show the sincerity of Artistry Company.
"This is an employment contract, which includes your benefits and obligations. Are you all literate? If not, I will read it to you. You need to sign this contract. You can keep it in your own hands or give it to your family. You are here
All the rewards received in Jilin Province will be sent to your homes."
These adventurers have learned a lot of words during their voyage and can understand the contents of the contract.
It can be said that there is no fairness in this contract.
Once an adventurer encounters an accident in the Far North and dies, Artistry Company does not need to pay any price.
In other words, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven.
However, the remuneration offered by Artistry is very gratifying.
In addition to the purchase price of the furs, Duan Xiaokai also conveyed the government's instructions.
"If you discover mineral deposits in the far north, you will all get a certain share. And what you capture in battle will be yours entirely."
Everyone knows how valuable the mineral deposits are.
At that time, Emperor Wanli sent mine supervisors to cause trouble in the world, which also laid the fuse for the demise of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that many people suffered deeply.
Now adventurers like them can get a share of the mineral deposits they discover.
There is no doubt that this will be a huge fortune.
Jilin Province is also preparing for the arrival of immigrants and adventurers.
Zuo Maodi and Xia Yunyi have already taken office.
Interacting with Zhang Chun.
"In one month, winter will come, and the route to Xinzhi City will be interrupted. Fortunately, this year's supplies have been sent, so you don't need to worry too much."
Knowing that Xinzhicheng was more than a month's flight from Sakhalin Island, Zuo Maodi was a little worried and wanted to see it in person, but Zhang Chun stopped him.
"I heard that there are several months in winter. If we can't contact Xinzhi Island for such a long time, won't there be an accident? Why can't winter pass?"
Regarding this aspect, Wu Jiang gave them some popular science.
"In winter, the waves on the ocean are very fierce and can easily tear our ship into pieces. Therefore, there are already regulations here that we cannot sail eastward after September."
People at this time did not know that the winter storm waves in the North Pacific were affected by the Siberian low pressure and the Aleutian low pressure, so the sea conditions were very dangerous.
But I’ve walked a lot in the sea here, and I’ve figured out the rules.
Even if Xinzhi Island is isolated offshore and there are only more than a hundred soldiers on it, we can only leave it to fate. We must wait until next spring when the sea conditions stabilize before we can go over and check it out.
After understanding this, Zuo Maodi and Xia Yunyi finally had some personal feelings about the hugeness of Jilin Province.
