Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 714 Eat Salmon to Extinction (Please subscribe!)

Zhu Kezang looked at the famous shipbuilder Huang Du, "I order: From now on, the Anping Armory will postpone other tasks and make every effort to build a hundred Yugong-shaped ships!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

This is only the first batch of shipbuilding plans, and there may be an additional [-] ships in the future.

"Everyone come with me to visit the boat."

While people were visiting the Tianzi Wharf (mainly official vessels, important for reception), at the Huangpu Wharf on the other side of Guangzhou, there was already an upsurge of immigration to Yinzhou (America).

Yinzhou is Daming's name for America.

After the University Scholars Conference was held in Guangdong, businessmen in Guangdong established Yinzhou Immigration Company and Yinzhou Development Company one after another.

They all support Zhu Kezang's decision.

The big cities in New Daming are beautiful, full of opportunities, but there are also dark places where the sun doesn't shine.

Now the development of Ming Dynasty is too unbalanced, the advanced places are very advanced, and the backward places are very backward.

People are either flocking to the Pearl River Delta or the Yangtze River Delta to work, or like the following family, they are being promoted by immigration companies to go overseas to survive.

Song Fugui was holding a rough hemp rope, carrying a tattered bag full of patches, supporting his mother-in-law, followed by his stupid son and ugly daughter, and the family of four were tied with hemp rope.

No way, this is also to prevent the family from getting lost. There are too many people, crowded around, and it will be troublesome to get lost with the family.

Now, the family finally arrived at Huangpu Wharf.

As long as you get on the boat, you can go to Yinzhou, which is full of gold in the legend.

clap clap clap!
It was the sound of a whip beating against the bluestone floor.

This voice sent chills down the spines of many Hunan landless farmers and mountain people who went to Yinzhou to make a living with Song Fugui.

The vicious company employee didn't beat anyone much, but kept urging everyone to hurry.

Unless some of these future Yinzhou immigrants make trouble, they will really start.

Song Fugui's family was very satisfied, because whenever it was time to eat, the staff of these immigration companies would drive everyone to eat, and those who got off the car slowly had to be scolded.

After all, if you don't eat actively, you have a problem with your brain.

"Go, go! Get ready to board the ship, and you will have a good day in the New World!"

"Then Yinzhou is good. I heard that it is a land comparable to Jiangnan! There are enough bison in the wild for many years!"

The staff of the immigration company saw that some people were hesitant when they boarded the ship. After all, if they went, they would leave the land of Huaxia.

So I started painting cakes, which were all hearsay, and I don’t know if it’s true or not.

The employees of this company heard that the land over there is so fertile that no one has ever cultivated it. The local aborigines even have very few iron tools, and they are very backward.

Anyway, they are all good words to attract people.

"Hurry up and follow."

Song Fugui hurriedly turned his head to look at his silly son and ugly daughter and said in a low voice, he must also know what kind of unpredictable fate awaits them.

They sailed across the ocean on an old-style large sailing ship, heading for a beautiful new continent.

Just on the way of this group of immigrants, in the first stronghold of the New World of Ming Dynasty: Jinshan Governor's District.

Along the eastward direction of the big river named Jinshan River (San Joaquin River), more and more houses have been erected, and these houses are reserved for subsequent immigrants.

Every autumn and winter in Jinshan River, densely packed salmon will flow upstream from the ocean along the mouth of Jinshan River.

These migratory salmon, or salmon, made a major contribution to the first wave of immigrants from the new Ming Empire.

Even in the New World, when there is a lack of food due to extreme weather, the delicious Jinshanhe salmon has become the staple food of the Ming immigrants.

It's a pity that Ming Dynasty doesn't have cold chain transportation technology yet, and Zhu Kezang, who is far away in China, can't enjoy delicious salmon sashimi.

The people of Daming have always been grateful, so at this time, in the square near the mouth of the Jinshan River, immigrants from the Ming Dynasty built a statue of salmon, and at the same time named the village Salmon Village.

At the same time, at the beginning of October every year, it is also a special festival for Ming people in the New World. The name is easy to remember: it is called Thanksgiving.

Pretty much the same thing as white people's Thanksgiving.

In 1620, more than 100 poor immigrants from England went ashore at Plymouth, Massachusetts, on the "Mayflower" ship to seek a living.

It was almost severe winter, and these people who lacked food were suffering from hunger and cold.

The owners of this land - the Indians sent turkey, duck, venison, wheat, pumpkin, corn, fruit, seafood and other food, and helped more than 100 people survive. According to the historical records of the United States, the second In November, the two sides held the first gratitude banquet.

Later, under the guidance of an Indian named Skontu, the British harvested corn and other crops, which saved them from desperation.

In 1623, white immigrants celebrated "Thanksgiving" (the dry land was moistened by rain, thank God).

But the feast of 1621 is still the main event, so it is celebrated every year, Plymouth has also become the birthplace of Thanksgiving, and Lincoln made it a legal holiday.

But then these whites almost killed the Indians.

It is also a reason why Ming people are grateful for salmon, because the migratory salmon in Jinshan River and Jinsha River in the north (Vancouver's Fraser River) were almost extinct by Daming!
The current Yinzhou colony of Ming Dynasty has not yet expanded to Vancouver, and the mother river of Vancouver is the Fraser River, which is the place with the most migrating salmon in the world, and it has not been "harmed" by the immigrants of Ming Dynasty.

Back to Jinshan City (San Francisco), its urban construction is now in shape, and a solid bastion has been initially established.

The current Jinshan City is based on these four large villages distributed in a square shape, and the surrounding walls enclose the villages.

These villages are basically the inner city of Jinshan City.

In order to reduce the transportation pressure, some civil construction materials are not transported to Yinzhou locally, so they can only be obtained locally.

The building materials used for the city wall here are also very primitive: the most common logs in the surrounding forests are used. Thousands of logs are tied together with iron wires. The rammed earth is filled between the logs, and a platform is built on it, and the paint mixed with shell powder and yellow mud is painted between the outer walls for fire prevention.

It is very strong, no less defensive than the brick-covered city wall, and it is inferior to the mainstream bamboo-reinforced concrete buildings in the Ming Dynasty.

On the outskirts of the city wall, immigrants from the Ming Dynasty also dug a trench that was two feet wide and one foot deep, and installed forts on the city wall. At the same time, several hot air balloons flew into the sky, watching the surrounding movement all the time. Jinshan City is currently impregnable. .

The Great Tomorrow Sun and Moon Flag is flying high above the city wall. If you look carefully, you will find that there are still red lanterns hanging on the city wall, because the New Year in 1692 is coming soon!
There are [-] strong men in the city, and only [-] women. The ratio of men to women is seriously out of balance!
As a result, the strong men here have reached the childbearing age and have to marry the local Indians who look like the yellow race.

No, Daming called them Yin Di'an people.

"I heard from the Governor that the Yin tribe is going to organize a bonfire meeting with us Daming people in Salmon Square to celebrate the New Year of Ming Dynasty. Are you going?"

"No, I'm tired of salmon!"

"There is a Yin girl."

"go!"
