Xu Hao said helplessly: "They have already divided the mining area, so why are they still fighting?"
A large number of gold diggers poured into the Jinshan area. In order to stabilize the mining area, Xu Hao defined territories for these gold diggers in order to reduce their disputes. Unexpectedly, they ended up fighting.
The soldier smiled bitterly and said: "It is said that it was for a piece of nugget gold. Two people said they found it themselves, and then two groups of gold diggers started fighting! The chaos that followed became bigger and bigger, so that the entire mining area was in chaos. .”
When Xu Hao heard this, he was furious and said: "Send soldiers immediately to suppress these lawless gold diggers!"
The soldier said: "No!"
Xu Hao has lost weight since he came from the New World. This ghost place is completely different from Daqian. He is stationed in the Jinshan area. According to Kong Ming's calculations, the dimensions here are obviously the same as Jiangnan.
But even though spring has begun here, there will still be blizzards that freeze all the food grown by the local people to death. He has never seen such a harsh climate! The food just planted this year is gone again!
Such a harsh environment has led many people to propose that the governor's office of the New World should be located further south, where the climate is more stable and the population is larger. If one wants to develop, the south is a better place.
But Xu Hao thought for a while and still refused. Jinshan is the center of the New World. The distance is almost the same whether going south or north. Only by setting the Governor's Mansion here can we better control the New World. The most important thing is that Jinshan is here to rely on. With the financial resources provided by Jinshan, the New World Governor's Office can maintain sufficient expenses.
After the soldiers left, Zhuge Liang walked in and said, "The governor is angry about the Jinshan Mining Area again?"
Zhuge Liang is now the chief secretary of the New World Governor's Mansion, and he has entered the officialdom. Only in such a borderland, no one will care about Zhuge Liang's rise to the top.
Xu Hao said helplessly: "It would be difficult for the New World to develop without these gold diggers, but their lawless nature is also a huge trouble for our Governor's Mansion!"
Because of Zhang Bai's actions, hundreds of thousands of young men fled from Daqian to the New World, and most of them followed Xu Hao to the Jinshan Mountains in the central part of the New World. This can be said to be the place with the largest number of people in Daqian, and also The place where Daqian is most powerful.
But these gold diggers all want to come to the New World to make a fortune, and few of them are willing to obey the jurisdiction of their governor's office! After all, the New World is a barbaric land. For many people, it is a lawless land. They come here just to find gold. After getting enough gold, they returned to Daqian with the gold to enjoy their fortune. Anyone who dared to stop them from getting rich would be dealt with by them, even the governor Xu Hao did the same.
Of course, the lack of strength in Xu Hao's hands is also an important reason. Daqian has dozens of strongholds in the New World, but Xu Hao only has 5,000 people in his hands. In order to manage these places, Xu Hao can only disperse his troops and arrange them in important places. The troops suppressed the local area and continued to disperse. Xu Hao only had 1,000 people in the New World. It was really difficult to suppress tens of thousands of gold diggers with this manpower!
Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "The key is that our army in the Dudu Mansion is not strong enough, so these lawless gold diggers are not afraid of us! If we have 5,000 troops in our hands, those gold diggers will definitely not dare to violate the laws of the Dudu Mansion!"
Zhuge Liang is also dissatisfied with those gold diggers. Now that they control the coastal towns after the governor's mansion, it has become a lawless place outside the towns. This anarchic situation is something Zhuge Liang cannot accept.
Xu Hao said helplessly: "The New World is too big and we don't have enough manpower! And the temptation of gold has made those gold diggers crazy!"
Xu Hao also wants to exploit the financial resources of the Governor's Mansion in Jinshan, but judging from the current situation, he can't even control these lawless gold diggers.
Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "If the Dudu Mansion wants to find a way to improve the strength of the army, it is not without manpower in the New World. If we arm the local savages, it will be enough to suppress these gold diggers. After all, the savages are a minority group of gold diggers!"
There are also many savages here in Jinshan, probably more than 20,000. Some of them were originally captured by the first generation of gold diggers. Of course, after Xu Hao and the others came, the first generation of gold diggers were driven away by Xu Hao, and these
The savages also became farmers under the rule of the Dudu Mansion. Then Zhuge Liang found a way to recruit some savages from around him, and then he commanded these savages to fish and cultivate wasteland.
Zhuge Liang was not fooled by gold. He knew that gold was not the most important thing to them in the New World, but food was the most important thing in these barbaric lands.
Jinshan is tens of thousands of miles away from Daqian, and it takes half a year for sea ships to get here. This shows that it is difficult for the New World to get logistical support from Daqian, especially self-sufficiency in food, so their governor's office wants to station in the New World
Keep your footing, food is the most critical material.
So after Zhuge Liang settled down in the Dudu Mansion, he immediately recruited savages to cultivate land around the city to solve the food problem. The problem in the first year was not big. Although the savages were not efficient and the yield of farming was not high, there was a lot of land here, and the acres of land were not high.
The production was not enough, so they used land to make up for it. In the first year, they harvested millions of dan of grain, which greatly solved their food problem.
But something went wrong in the second year. Zhuge Liang did not expect that the climate in the New World would be so bad. It was already April, but there would be a snowstorm, destroying all the first batch of grain planted in the Dudu Mansion.
Fortunately, in addition to planting wheat to solve the food problem, Zhuge Liang also built a large number of cement boats and went to the sea to fish to solve the food problem. This is more stable than wheat, and sea fish is more stable. Before wheat planting was successful, Zhuge Liang had already asked his soldiers to use sea fish.
As a staple food!
But that doesn’t mean that land reclamation is useless at all. This at least gives the Governor’s Mansion tens of thousands more people. Now Zhuge Liang is trying to build and arm these barbarians who have taken refuge in the Governor’s Mansion to expand the military equipment of the Governor’s Mansion!
Zhuge Liang's proposal made Xu Hao a little hesitant. After all, the savages were entities that they could not trust. If they armed the savages with their power and rebelled, it would be difficult for them to gain a foothold in the New World. After all, they were the
Aboriginal people!
Zhuge Liang saw Xu Hao's hesitation and said: "These savages are not civilized. This year they have recognized the civilized Dagan people. Compared with the gold diggers, they are the real Dagan people. It would be difficult for the governor to control them without them." New World!"
