Six days after Sun Bin arrived in Rio Grande do Sul, the first convoys carrying Cuban Chinese workers arrived at their destination.

Cuban Chinese workers arrived in Rio Grande do Sul for two days. On the third day, vessels at the exchange rate port loaded Chinese workers in batches and shipped them to various parts of the Principality of Rio Grande do Sul.

The first batch of Cuban Chinese workers mainly had three places to go. The first was to go to Pasu Fundo to participate in the installation and construction of the factory. This part has the largest number of about 15,000 people.

Second: The destination is Jovian, and the construction of the naval base of the National Defense Forces in the northern part of the Principality requires about 4,000 Chinese laborers.

Third: scattered throughout Rio Grande do Sul, engaged in agricultural and animal husbandry production.

When Brazil ruled the two southern states, it was limited by its sparse population and weak infrastructure, which led to slow local development. After the Chinese occupy the local area, roads, towns, agriculture, and industries need to be built from scratch.

Industry and agriculture are the two cornerstones to ensure the healthy development of the country. In terms of industry, Pasu Fengdu is the core industrial base under construction.

In terms of agriculture, the two southern states have a mild climate and abundant rainfall, making them ideal agricultural product production areas.

There are many areas suitable for agricultural development in the two southern states, but based on the current situation of the Chinese, the first agricultural area was finally decided to be established in Pelotas.

Pelotas is located at the south exit of Lake Patos, on the left bank of the San Gonzalo Waterway in the Atlantic Ocean, 244 kilometers northeast of Porto Alegre and 40 kilometers southeast of Rio Grande Port. The land and sea transportation is convenient and smooth.

The climate of Pelotas is mild and humid, and the terrain is flat and low. The coastal areas are suitable for planting rice. The inland Campos grassland has a developed animal husbandry and is suitable for the development of animal husbandry.

Coupled with the local seafront and excellent ports, the agricultural and pastoral products produced can be transported by sea to other parts of Rio Grande do Sul, or exported to European countries.

There are towns left by Brazilians in Pelotas. After the Chinese troops arrived here, some white locals fled to Uruguay, some Indians and black slaves were concentrated in custody and returned to the Brazilians as part of the Brazilian peace talks.

Several targeted policies have been implemented. The population of Pelotas has been reduced by more than half. The busy agricultural and port trade in the past was severely hit, and the number of vessels was less than one-third of the busy season.

Agriculture and animal husbandry trade is the main way for the two southern states to obtain overseas fiscal revenue.

The Chinese replaced the Brazilians and became the masters of the two southern states. After devoting most of their energy to the construction of industry and housing, they began to extract some energy to develop agriculture and animal husbandry.

Pelotas is a major agricultural development area. About 4,000 of the remaining 6,000 Cuban Chinese workers are assigned to Pelotas.

When the Brazilians ruled Pelotas, they adopted a stock-style management method. The agricultural land was scattered in the hands of local white people. The land was cut into small areas and different crops were planted according to the owner's preference.

Brazil is vast and sparsely populated. Even if land use is inefficient in large areas, local white people with vast land still have ample income.

The superior natural environment nourishes the fertile fields, and the lack of a life-threatening lifestyle also leads to the lazy character of the local residents.

Sitting in Baoshan, you can eat and drink without worry. After roughly planting a season of crops, you don't need to weed or water the plants. Once autumn arrives, you can just wait for harvest.

Argentina, Brazil, and Chile are called South American abc in later generations. They are the three major powers in South America. However, in addition to Chile's reliance on mineral exports to enter developed country tickets, Brazil lingers in the ranks of developing countries. Argentina's situation is even worse. At the beginning of the twentieth century, it was already among the top developed countries in the world, and its per capita income was higher than that of the United States in the same period.

However, in the second half of the twentieth century, Argentina's economic development stagnated and the country's situation was turbulent. In order to support the support of the civilian population at the bottom, the opposition parties left the responsibility for the stagnation of the economic development to the Argentine elite, which received a lot of recognition from the bottomless Shanshan, and then the opposition party came to power In power, the land wealth held by the elite class is nationalized and distributed evenly to the civilians at the bottom.

The land of the landlords and elites does not come out of thin air. Except for some people who obtained it through ingenious seizure, most people ’s land was acquired by their ancestors or themselves through hard work. The indiscriminate deprivation of their land by indiscriminate influence is a majority Blatant robbery against a few people.

The radical democratic revolution is similar in nature to the peasant uprising in the feudal period.

The long-term stable environment has led to a sharp increase in population. Wealth has accumulated in the hands of a few people during social development. The contradictions generated by the differentiation of social wealth have erupted to a certain extent. Uprisings have continued and wars have continued. Reduction, redistribution of land, relief of contradictions, part of the power at the bottom of the war, to become a new elite class, and then cycle the usual way.

The land of Rio Grande do Sul is not infinite, and Li Mingyuan will not arrogantly believe that with the help of more than 30,000 field troops to conquer the entire South American state, with the influx of Chinese immigrants, the total area of ​​403,000 square kilometers will not take decades. Will become a densely populated area.

The population increases and the land decreases. The Chinese originally grateful to Li Mingyuan will turn into dissatisfaction, and new contradictions will quickly erupt in the accumulation.

The environment changes the racial personality of people, Dutch descendants have developed a brave and ethical national identity on the South African plateau, and Portuguese and Spanish who have emigrated to South America have become lazy and romantic. It is also possible for hard-working Chinese workers to adapt to decades of comfortable life Being assimilated by the environment, blindly granting a large amount of land to Chinese workers without compensation is extremely harmful, which will seriously reduce the combat effectiveness of the Chinese troops and even endanger Li Mingyuan's dominance.

The Chinese who came from the Peruvian expedition have endured the test of war, and the 300 acres of land per person is their reward for their merit.

The Chinese workers who came by boat from Cuba are different from the Chinese soldiers. They have not contributed to the Principality of Rio Grande do Sul, and Li Mingyuan will not give them land for free.

It is not unreasonable why the monarchy existed for thousands of years, even in the later democratic republics, when there were still more than twenty monarchy countries.

The monarch is nominally the master and symbol of the country. In order to maintain the rule, they need to maintain the stability of the country, protect the interests of the people at all levels in the country, and establish a fair and just monarch image.

Li Mingyuan formulated a policy of allocating land based on merits. He can't undermine his own policy because there is a large amount of barren land now.

The first and subsequent arrivals of Cuban Chinese workers will not obtain their land within one year. After one year, the land that should be obtained is judged according to their merits in military service and construction work, ranging from 30 acres to 100 acres. Land area.

After the announcement of the policy on Chinese immigrants, neither Chinese soldiers who have obtained land nor Cuban Chinese workers who have just arrived have no opinion. The retired soldiers are proud to be able to allocate a large amount of land, and Cuban Chinese workers have been released from the place of death. Soldiers and laborers are also happy to be able to obtain a large area of ​​land.

Under the attraction of the land, the enthusiasm of the Cuban Chinese workers after the two days of repairs was enthusiastic. They all wanted to leave a good impression of hard work and gain more land in the eyes of the Chinese soldiers who supervised them.

In the coastal area of ​​Pelotas, more than two hundred Chinese workers felled the surrounding trees under the guidance of five or six retired soldiers. More than one hundred people cleared the vacant land left after the trees were removed. Two Brazilians remained behind them. The crushed stone and brick building was full of people. Outside the building, a group of machinery and equipment were dismantled into parts and placed on the open space. There were more than thirty blonde foreigners talking and talking around the machinery and equipment.

Pelotas is the source of grain, cattle and sheep animals. The grain produced and beef and mutton produced need to be industrially processed before being shipped out of the port. Therefore, a flour mill and a meat processing plant are shipped to Pelotas. Two buildings left in Brazil have been requisitioned for industrial use and are undergoing renovations to suit the installation of machinery and equipment.

Eric is one of a thousand Prussian technicians and experts, and planning and building Pelotas is his main job.

"Sun, the port of Pelotas is 500 meters long, the deepest area has a water depth of 30 meters, and the average water depth is above 10 meters. It can be a great ocean port with a 5-meter draught."

Eric introduced the hydrological data of the port of Pelotas to Sun Bin. UU reading books www. uukanshu.com

"We are one kilometer away from the port. The flour and meat products processed by flour mills and meat processing plants can be shipped directly through the port.

The open space on the left of the flour mill and meat processing plant can be planned as a large warehouse. The grain produced from the plains and the fur of farmed animals are stored in the warehouse and then sold to foreign merchant ships in a unified way.

An animal trading area is set to the right of the factory area. Animals such as horses, cows, sheep, and wild deer manage the transactions by zone ... "

The Kingdom of Prussia originated in the southern part of the Baltic Sea. The landlord Juncker aristocracy occupied the ruling position of the kingdom. The southern part of the Baltic Sea was fertile and the agricultural industry was developed. Therefore, the Prussians were no stranger to agricultural development.

"Shizi dispatched 4,000 workers and 1,000 retired soldiers to participate in the construction. If you need to deal with it, you can tell me directly, and I will arrange manpower to assist you in your work."

Professional things are left to professional people to do. Eric is an expert invited back from Prussia. Sun Bin will meet his requirements.
