Far East 1628 Chapter one hundred and seventy-eight Why are there so many people?

The large-scale relocation of Dongjiang Town has had a great influence on Far East Company in the near future. The unstable factors brought by food shortage and population explosion have consumed the company's resources severely, which has also disrupted the company's steady development strategy and brought some confusion to the company's recent development.

But from the long-term development of the company, the entry of hundreds of thousands of immigrants has also greatly promoted the development of the company. Tens of thousands of single Liao women eased the male-female ratio of Liao people. Over a period of time, nearly 20,000 craftsmen have been trained, and these new industrial workers have also injected a lot of fresh blood into the basic industries that have been making slow progress.

In addition, Liao people in Dongjiang Town can also develop Trudeau wild agricultural resources under the leadership of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Under the guidance of the railway department, the railway subgrade from Vladivostok to Atum will be built. Shorten the company's plan to go north from three years to two years.

After returning to Vladivostok, Li Ming began to prepare to set up a trading post in Ulleungdo. As for the commodities used for trading, the company now has huge reserves, including a large number of small commodities from modern society.

For example, women's make-up series includes some exquisite powder boxes, complete sets of eyebrow pencil, complete sets of lipstick, colored soap, eye shadow box, cosmetic mirror, vanishing cream and so on. , is classified as a large number. Each product is also equipped with high-grade packaging boxes.

Ladies jewelry box series, including all kinds of exquisite necklaces, bracelets, earrings, bracelets, ornaments, pendants and so on. , are made of artificial gem, zircon diamond, artificial pearls, acrylic and other modern industrial products. Of course, each product is also equipped with a beautiful packaging box.

There are also some exquisite jewelry boxes, storage boxes, shampoos, beautiful umbrellas, low-grade perfumes of various flavors, colored beads, artificial crystal ornaments, exquisite sewing boxes, cosmetic bags, rayon handkerchiefs and so on.

There are also some such as stainless steel tableware, artificial crystal cups, music boxes and exquisite glass oil lamps. Tin alloy ornaments, exquisite lighters and other modern industrial products.

In addition, there are some commodities, such as matches, soap, mosquito-repellent incense, umbrellas, eye ointment toothbrushes, sanitary napkins, low-grade paper towels, disposable lighters, reading glasses and other daily necessities and hardware tools. These are extremely cheap in modern society, and it is even cheaper to buy them in large quantities from manufacturers. But in this era, it is definitely a tight commodity.

These goods are purchased by the purchasing department of the company. Try to choose small and light commodities that do not take up space. Often a container can hold a lot, and the cost is small compared with other materials, but it plays a great role in this era.

These goods are forcing the commodity market. Specially customized for this era. From materials to quality requirements are relatively high. However, because the demand is huge, at least tens of thousands or more, and it is purchased directly from the manufacturer, the intermediate link is omitted. So the price is very low. The most expensive one is only tens of yuan. Cheap even only a few cents.

In addition to these small commodities in modern society, there are a large number of Japanese handicrafts such as fans, swords, lacquerware and screens plundered in Horai. A large number of spices, such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and pepper, as well as sandalwood, camphor and tin ware in Southeast Asia, were plundered from Manila. Persian and Indian textiles and carpets. Silk and ceramics in Ming dynasty.

Grab something from the Hirado Dutch Pavilion. Such as sugar, deerskin, venison, antlers and various rattan products in Taiwan Province Province. Dutch metals, medicinal materials, European armor, Batavia spices, pepper, amber, flax, cotton, tin, lead, China silk, porcelain and pottery.

These goods are full of four Spanish galleons and ten Dutch merchant ships, and even three landing ships are full of them, which is only part of their inventory. Li Ming also packed a large number of silver ingots, a small amount of gold, and boxes of silver coins from various countries.

After everything was ready, Li Minghe Song Tao boarded the ship with the special command team and the Japanese death squad and left Vladivostok for Ulleungdo.

Because I want to set up a trading post in Ulleungdo and keep it for a long time, I also brought two -40 85mm anti-tank guns, two double-tube mm anti-aircraft guns and four 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns. Set up several artillery positions in Ulleungdo to prevent harassment by the North Korean navy and pirates.

The three landing ships are also loaded with an engineering team of the Construction Committee and some construction machinery, as well as building materials such as cement and steel bars, a simple floating dock, a crane, four forklifts and four four-wheeled tractors with Tuo Dou. There are also some trolleys and vans. The company will build a town with docks, shops, warehouses and trading centers there.

Ulleungdo is the trading base of Far East Company, where the company trades with merchants from Daming, Korea and Japan. After the fleet arrived in Ulleungdo, it began to carry out intensive infrastructure construction, building a 200-meter-long floating dock, installing a large number of steel structure warehouses and building prefabricated houses.

After ten days of busy work, the water pier and trestle bridge were completed, pieces of land were cleared and leveled, and the long slate produced by the building materials center was paved, and a street with a length of 100 m and a width of 20 m was built, with two rows of prefabricated houses on both sides of the street. Not far behind the side street are two steel warehouses.

The whole trade point is enclosed by a fence and barbed wire. There are four concealed gun positions on both sides of the dock and two maritime posts to ensure the safety of the trade point. Beside the pier trestle, there is also a row of assembled houses as a place for traders to rest.

After completing the infrastructure work of the Trade Point, landing ships No.1 and No.2 and a dozen sailboats returned, leaving only landing ship No.3 and two landing craft to be responsible for the maritime safety here.

Two days later, the first Ming fleet appeared. The owner of this fleet is not Song Shiping, and I don't know how to find out that the company needs women. I pulled a dozen girls, from seven or eight to thirteen or fourteen, more than 300. Li Ming asked Liu Handong to ask a girl and found that most of these children were from Henan, and many of them were from Shaanxi.

Li Ming is very happy with the opening of this business. Now it costs 1000 yuan to buy horse bones. He must make a name for himself as a trading point in Ulleungdo. So he deliberately took out a batch of Japanese high-end handicrafts to settle the bill.

The owner was overjoyed and the deal was a foregone conclusion. It should be said that it has a great advantage. When the ship mainly left, Li Ming grabbed the owner's hand and said with tears in his eyes, "Brother, don't pull people here next time." We need food, a lot of food. "

The shipowner frowned at once and said awkwardly, "Brother, it's not that my brother won't help you. It's not close for me to drift here. I'll lose money if I ship you a shipment of food. If I pull a shipment of grain from Huguang, I can sell it without Songjiang. " Why did I come to you? It takes a lot of effort and is worthless. "

Li Ming grabbed the shopkeeper's hand, led him to a meeting room, opened a curtain on the counter, took out some modern things, and then smiled and said, "Brother, if you pull vegetables, we will exchange them with you." What do you think of these things? "

The owner didn't understand for a moment, but when he saw Li Ming pull out a wooden stick from a small box and scratched it gently on the side of the box, the head of the wooden stick suddenly burst into flames.

Scared the owner almost sat on the ground, but his eyes suddenly lit up. After repeated teaching by Li Ming, he drew a few trembling strokes and finally drew a flame.

He stared at the flame in his hand and felt very excited. It was not until the match burned his hand that he threw it away painfully. Before he recovered, Li Ming demonstrated modern commodities such as soap, soap, mosquito-repellent incense, umbrella, disposable lighter and reading glasses. The ship owner was stunned by these dazzling things.

This time, he took Li Ming's hand and said excitedly, "Brother, can I really get this thing with rice?"

Li nodded and said, "Of course, how much you want to change depends on how much food you can pull. We have a lot of these things, and we can change them as we want. But apart from food, we don't exchange gold. "

The owner smiled and said, "Brother, you say yes, I'll go back to fetch food. By the way, brother ... can I take some samples first? Ah ... I give money ... "

Li Ming readily took out ten boxes of matches and stuffed another commodity into his hand. He smiled and said, "Brother, you just look down on me. You drifted all the way here. Can I still ask you for money? Believe ... Take it ... "

The owner was very happy and left with the boat. Looking at the sail shadow in the distance, Li Ming turned to Song Tao and said, "I hope he can bring more food back. If we can't get enough food, then I must go out and find a way. "

Song Tao also said with a wry smile, "Yes, if we really don't have enough food, we will have to rob it. Even if we rob the golden palace of Emperor Chongzhen, we have to gather food together. Paralysis, the company now has more than 200,000 people and how much food is needed. "

Just as Li Minghe Songtao was worried about the company's grain, the fleet of Daming ship owners began to arrive at Ulleungdo. But all of them were women, and more than 2,000 people were pulled in a few days. Moreover, a fleet arrived one after another, without exception, full of women.

Li Ming looked at the women on the island in tears and turned to Song Tao and said, "Brother, if I saw so many women last year, I would be so happy, but when I saw them this year, I suddenly wanted to cry ..."

At this time, the sentry's report came from his earphone: "Li Ming, there is a huge fleet in the distance."

Li Ming's heart suddenly cooled when he heard this.

"Let two landing craft go up and ask, it is estimated that Song Shiping is coming."

Say that finish, he prayed in his heart, eldest brother, you are not allowed to pull people here again. If you pull someone again ... I ... I'll run over. ...
