Chapter 1061 Building a City
"The center reported that the first batch of immigrants was only more than [-] people. Since this place is so fertile, it would be best to resettle them in a centralized manner in advance."

After investigating the situation on Xiayi Island, Zuo Maodi made a decision.

The same goes for other people's thoughts.

Xiayi Island has a very large area, and there are many places suitable for farming.In fact, the largest plain is in the northeast of the island. Due to insufficient population, it can only be temporarily shelved.

Miao Niansheng also agreed to resettle immigrants in the west of the island first.

Zuo Maodi thought about it and asked, "Does this place have a name?"

It really does.

"The local Ainu people call this place Sapporo, which means the land of big rivers."

Looking at the river with plenty of water and lush vegetation in front of him, Zuo Maodi nodded in approval.

"Then how about establishing Sapporo City here?"

Under the influence of Zuo Menggeng, Xia Guo's administrative system is generally the same as that of later generations.

Below the center are provinces, below the provinces are cities, which govern counties and districts, and further down are townships and towns.

Now the Nuergandusi area has been established as a province, and the provincial capital is determined to be Changchun.Naturally, other cities are needed in the entire region to improve the administrative system.

Xiayi Island is so big that it can accommodate a large number of people, so it is appropriate to build a separate city.

This proposal was not a sudden inspiration from Zuo Maodi.

On the way to Jilin, he discussed with Xia Yunyi and other provincial officials and reached a consensus.

Since the land in Sapporo is fertile and the plains are vast, a large number of people can be resettled, and a city-level administrative agency is set up, which is perfect for civil affairs to govern the entire island.

"According to His Highness's order, Yongning Temple has been renamed Miaojie City, and Lak Town will also be upgraded to Lak City. In this way, we have four cities in Jilin. With these four cities as the center, we will radiate around, gradually Take control of the surrounding area."

Zuo Maodi informed everyone of the central decision-making.

In the current planning of the hub, Sakhalin Island is divided into two cities under separate jurisdiction.Temple Street City has the largest division and manages all land territories.

Sapporo is the administrative center of Xiayi Island.

In front of everyone, Zuo Maodi began to announce the appointment.

"Approved by the Central Committee and appointed by the provincial government, Meng Zhiying is the mayor of Sapporo City, and Zhao Zishen is the deputy mayor of Sapporo City, who are fully responsible for the administrative work of Xiayi Island."

The two young men stood up quickly with excited faces.

Now Xia Guo's administrative system has been gradually improved, young people like them, if they are in the local area, with their age and qualifications, they will definitely not be able to be high-ranking officials.

Only in Jilin, where everything is newly built and the management population is sparse, did they give them a chance.

But in any case, becoming a city-level official is the greatest recognition of their ability.

"Do you have any ideas about the development of the entire Xiayi Island?"

In fact, Meng Zhiying and Zhao Zishen had already learned about the appointment and made sufficient preparations.

"According to the administrative division of our Xia Kingdom, counties and towns must be established under the city. It just so happens that there are still several places where settlements can be built on Xiayi Island. We plan to mix new immigrants and natives from next year, Settled in various settlements. Then based on these places, county-level administrative institutions were established.”

Meng Zhiying marked several places on the map.

One is Uskes at the southernmost tip of Xiayi Island, which means the end of the coast in Ainu language.

In the previous life, this place was the location of Hakodate Prefecture.

Apparently, Meng Zhiying knew very well that Xiayi Island, as the front line close to Japan, must deploy enough forces at the forefront to be able to play a warning role.

Even when necessary, it can become a forward base for attacking Japan.

The second place he pointed to was Kushiro.

This is also the only ice-free port on Xiayi Island.

It is conceivable that based on this condition alone, this place will definitely be very prosperous in the future, and it is necessary to build a county.

The third place is located in the northeast corner of Xiayi Island, on a peninsula extending to the ocean.

There are several islands that go deep into the ocean from here, which can be developed into fishing bases.

In addition, the north here can be connected with the Thousand Islands.

In other words, in the future, you can reach Xinzhicheng more quickly and safely through here, which is much safer than going from Sakhalin Island.

This place is called the root room.

It is just adjacent to the largest plain on Xiayi Island, and the fertile land is gathered together, which is very conducive to large-scale farming development.

Meng Zhiying didn't rush into it, and only chose these three settlements for the time being.

Although there are still many places suitable for settlement in Xiayi Island, he is more aware that immigration needs to be done step by step, and it may not be completed in a few years or decades.

What's more, it is impossible for all the immigrants from China to fill Xiayi Island, and take care of other places.

The development of Xiayi Island will be an extremely long process.

However, the products here are so rich, he has the confidence to build this place into a paradise on earth.

Busan.

Stones and pebbles were on board again.

This time they were told that the ship would not dock again for nearly a month.

In other words, they can only be trapped in this square inch and endure the most difficult and bumpy journey.

But this is also their final test.

As long as this time has passed, they have reached their destination.

Hundreds of sailboats are sailing on the sea, which is spectacular, but it also makes these new immigrants not feel lonely.

Dark clouds rolled in the southern sky, strong winds were blowing, and the waves over there were gradually turbulent visible to the naked eye.

But the sea in the north is very calm, and the setting sun shines on it, floating with bright gold, which is fascinating.

The sailors ran up and down the ship nervously, not daring to delay for a moment.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Spread the full sail and increase the speed of the boat. The storm is coming, and those who don't want to die, let me get busy."

Hearing the captain's yelling, the immigrants were all very nervous and trembling.

Only the crew, although busy, were calm.

They have been sailing in this sea area for a long time, and they already have experience.

Knowing that every year after July, there will be violent storms coming from the south, wave after wave, enough to destroy everything.

This situation will continue until October.

During this time, only the most experienced old sailors dared to take to sea.The rest of the people absolutely dare not step into the ocean.

Now they are heading to Sakhalin before the first storm of the year.

As long as their speed is fast enough, the storm will always be behind them and will not pose any threat.

When they arrived in Jilin, the ships entered the port, and everything was fine there.

The Chinese nation's current understanding of the sea has made them dare to challenge nature.
