Ming Zuo

Chapter 1059 The Road to Immigration
It is true that Nuergandusi has a vast territory and abundant products, but some things are so precious that they have to be cherished.

For example, Siberian tigers and sables are treasures bestowed by heaven.

Originally, Zuo Menggeng ignored the matter of animal protection. It was because someone from the Beishang Legion hunted and killed the tiger and gave him the tiger skin, which made him aware of the hidden danger and immediately issued an order.

Tigers are absolutely forbidden to be hunted, and the number of sables is strictly limited.

If we can pay attention to protection from this time, I believe that there will be living space for the king of beasts in that vast land.

From the Siberian tiger, Zuo Menggeng even thought of the South China tiger that became extinct in the wild in later generations.

He deliberately asked the cabinet to study and draw out a protection area with a radius of more than [-] kilometers in the Yimeng mountain area, and also moved all the people within this area to other places.

I believe that with such a pure land that is not disturbed by human beings, the precious South China tiger can thrive and thrive.

In the future, when the territory of the Xia Kingdom becomes larger and larger, more protection areas can be established for the South China tiger.

From this perspective, mass emigration is an even more correct policy.

Animals will have enough living space only if the population is reduced.

"Wake up, wake up, you're at your place. Get off the boat and have a good rest."

Stone and Shizi heard the shout while they were in a daze, and they all cheered up and got up quickly.

Lying on the ship's side and looking forward, I saw a very prosperous port with countless people.

Stone was really happy.

"Has this arrived in Jilin?"

The crew next to him heard it and laughed out loud.

"This is Jeju Island, less than halfway from Jilin Province."

Hearing this, the expressions of the first-generation immigrants changed.

Although they knew 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 sails on the sea, the sky is blue, the sea is blue, but there is nothing between the sky and the sea.

The feeling of emptiness and silence is enough to drive people crazy.

Thinking of having to endure a longer voyage, everyone was a little desperate.

Fortunately, the ship docked at the pier of Jeju Island, and they were allowed to go ashore and rest here for two days.

People were shaking back and forth on the boat, and they were about to spit out bile.At this time, the feeling of being able to step on the ground with both feet is really nostalgic.

Stone admired the crew even more.

How much courage is it that makes these people live in the sea for many years?

Jeju Island has already prepared accommodation and meals for the immigrants.

Everyone didn't care about anything, they had a good meal after moving in, and then fell asleep.

During the two days of rest, at least half of them were used for sleeping.

When they woke up again, everyone felt energetic.After taking a good hot bath and changing into a suit of clothes, it turned out to be like a new life.

The immigrants were called together.

The person who appeared in front of them was an officer of the Xia Army.

"Taking advantage of the rest now, I'll teach you how to use muskets."

This statement surprised everyone.

Stone relied on his courage to speak out for everyone.

"Master Jun, didn't we go to Jilin to farm the land? Why do we still have to fight?"

The officer's face was serious.

"There are not many people over there, everyone is very precious. If you want to fight, the army is short of soldiers, so you can only 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."

With that said, everyone is relieved.

When they were in their hometown, they had already seen the army reserve and militia.

As long as it is not forcibly conscripted into the army, it is nothing.

Every immigrant, even a woman, learned how to handle a flintlock under the tutelage of the officers.

During the subsequent itinerary, some people explained to them the common sense of living in Jilin Province.Let these immigrants finally no longer have black eyes, and have some courage to live in a foreign place.

Unlike these immigrants who farmed, adventurers like Gu Dahu had much more to learn.

Not only did they learn how to use a musket, but they each got a weapon.

These include flintlock guns, knives, mountain axes, cotton clothes, leather boots, medical kits, compasses, lighters, and even needles and threads. All these add up to make the backpack weigh [-] to [-] kilograms.

"These things are essential items for you to survive in the wild and must be properly preserved. Once something is lost, it is likely to kill you."

Every adventurer cheered up and firmly remembered the knowledge imparted by the officer.

Duan Xiaokai, the person in charge of ARTISTRY Company in Jilin Province, also sailed with them, and it was only then that he showed the sincerity of ARTISTRY Company.

"This is an employment contract, which includes your benefits and obligations. Are you all literate? If you can't, I will read it to you. This contract needs to be signed by you, and you can keep it in your own hands or give it to your family. All the rewards received from Jilin Province will be sent to your home."

These adventurers have learned a lot of words during the voyage, and they 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 extreme north and dies, Artistry Company does not need to pay any price.

In other words, life and death depend on fate, and wealth depends on heaven.

However, the remuneration given by ARTISTRY is very gratifying.

In addition to the fur purchase price, Duan Xiaokai also conveyed the government's instructions.

"If you discover mineral deposits in the extreme north, you will all get a certain share. And what you seized in the battle is completely yours."

Everyone knows how valuable the mine is.

At that time, Emperor Wanli sent mine supervisors to cause chaos in the world, which also laid the fuse for the demise of Ming Dynasty.It can be said that many people have suffered from it.

Now these adventurers can get a share in the mineral deposits they find.

There is no doubt that this will be a great fortune.

Jilin Province is also preparing for the arrival of immigrants and adventurers.

Zuo Maodi and Xia Yunyi have already taken office.

Handing over with Zhang Chun.

"In another month, winter will come, and the route to Xinzhi City will be interrupted. Fortunately, this year's supplies have already been delivered, so you don't need to worry too much."

Knowing that Xinzhi City is more than a month's flight away from Sakhalin Island, Zuo Maodi was a little worried, and wanted to see it for himself, but was stopped by Zhang Chun.

"I heard that there are several months in winter, and you can't contact Xinzhi Island for such a long time. Isn't there an accident? Why can't winter pass?"

Regarding this aspect, General Wu gave them a popular science.

"In winter, the waves on the ocean are very fierce, and our ship can be easily torn into pieces. Therefore, there have been regulations here, and we cannot sail eastward after September."

People at this time did not know that the winter storms in the North Pacific Ocean were affected by the Siberian low pressure and the Aleutian low pressure, so the sea conditions were very dangerous.

But I have walked a lot in this sea area, and I have also summed up the rules.

Even if Xinzhi Island hangs alone overseas, with only a hundred soldiers on it, they can only resign themselves to fate.You have to wait until next spring when the sea conditions are stable before you can go to check.

Knowing this, Zuo Maodi and Xia Yunyi finally had some personal feelings about the hugeness of Jilin Province.
