Li Tianyang naturally didn't know what the Dutch thought, and they actually didn't care about feeling the Dutch's thoughts now, because they were busy at the moment.

There were too many wounded, although it had been expected, Huang Youran had already rushed to Jilong Port with most of the medical staff in Bengang, as well as a large amount of alcohol, gauze and other medical supplies, but he still couldn't stand the continuous transportation of the wounded.

The jungle around Jilong Harbor is not very peaceful, and I don't know if it is because the continuous artillery exchange attracts the surrounding natives, or for some other reason, the Wu Jiete Battalion, which is responsible for guarding the security around Jilong Harbor, has discovered and reported that the number of indigenous teams within three miles of Jilong Harbor has increased suddenly.

There are also a large number of fallen soldiers, and there are also many undiscovered sailor corpses on the water, so that there are many sea predators such as sharks in the sea, which has brought a lot of trouble and hidden dangers to the Hongtang team members who participated in the sea search and rescue work.

After repelling the enemy, Li Tianyang and his men were still busy restoring their livelihoods, and most of the houses in Hong Kong had been destroyed by the malicious shelling of the Dutch, and only a few houses were spared.

Fortunately, the underground fortifications in the chicken coop harbor were stable, and during the three days of shelling, not a single case of people was injured by the Dutch shelling, but because of the poor environment in the underground fortifications, many of the fortifications had problems such as lack of oxygen and nausea, and the most serious elderly people fell into a coma.

After all, this underground fortification was built in a hurry, and Qixintang had no such construction experience and experience before, so it was inevitable that there would be a situation of poor consideration. Although vents were opened in the fortifications, the problem of crowding and poor air circulation in the fortifications was only noticed by Gan Dabiao and his colleagues after the situation occurred.

By the time the villagers emerge from the underground fortifications and see the light of day, the once familiar town has changed beyond recognition, and everywhere is in ruins.

Under the organization of Gan Dabiao and Li Tianyang, the villagers also actively responded to Li Tianyang's call, and the administrative staff of Jilong Gangzhong were also handy in building homestays. Soon, the reconstruction of Joncoong Harbor was in full swing.

War is indeed a matter of money, three or four days of fighting, visible and invisible, Qixintang has invested at least more than 30,000 taels of silver just in front of the station preparation and construction. Now that the war is over, more than 1,000 soldiers have been paid for the dead, the wounded and sick have been treated and settled, and the infrastructure has been rebuilt.

For the sake of concealed relations, Bengang cut off economic and trade early, and basically counted on making up for the blood transfusion from there.

Fortunately, the gold mine discovered in Jilong Harbor has made great progress in the past six months, and their mining work has not been interrupted because of the war in Jilong Harbor.

With the addition of gunpowder, dams and hydraulic mills, the gold mining volume of the Jilongshan mine has also risen steadily in recent months, from five or six taels per month at the beginning of the month, to more than two hundred taels of crude gold production per month.

It seems that the income of the Jilong Mountain mine is not significant, but these can be said to be a trickle, and with the low labor cost that Li Tianyang has been using indigenous captives to mine since they were raised, they don't have to do anything in a year, and Li Tianyang and them can also have an income of several thousand taels of gold, which is at least tens of thousands of taels of silver when converted into silver!

Coupled with the speed of mechanical decomposition, it is not to mention the superior layer shown by the ancient and backward all-manual mining and refining of gold.

You must know that in addition to the secret income of those private mine owners and the number of official mine officials who are greedy for ink, the total amount of gold mining and refining registered in the register every year at the end of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty is actually no more than 10,000 taels, and it can be imagined from here how amazing the production of the Jilongshan mine is.

Moreover, up to now, the Jilongshan mine is far from reaching the limit of their mining and refining gold, and the gold production is increasing every month, and when it finally stabilizes, Li Tianyang and they don't know how far the final output of the mine will reach.

The ocean-going fleet, during the half year that Li Tian raised their embankment to protect the Dutch, did not stop their sailing and trade. An ocean voyage lasted for several months and more than half a year, so that He Yong and Changsheng and their trading fleets were less affected by the Dutch fleet, as long as they made a little more detour when sailing, they could avoid risks to the greatest extent.

Not to mention, although the Dutch occupy the pigeon's nest and occupy the Penghu Islands, and the Hongtang shark and leopard are unwilling to provoke their tiger whiskers, this does not mean that they cannot provide escort support to their own Qixintang ocean-going fleet and let the Dutch do whatever they want.

There is also a part of Qixintang's chicken coop port, which has also continued to trade, and under the combination of several aspects, it has finally squeezed out the materials and money that Li Tianyang needs now.

The biggest part is still the compensation for the soldiers who died in battle, and the death of more than 1,000 soldiers is extremely heavy whether it is the loss of Hongtang's strength or the financial pressure on Qixintang.

Each soldier who died in battle received a pension of at least fifty taels of silver, and more than 1,000 people received more than seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver, and the land distribution was at least five acres or more.

In addition, for the families of the soldiers who died in the war, the children under the age of 16 are also responsible for providing basic living support every year. For his family, the situation is special and extremely difficult, and the government of Qixintang or Jilonggang will also arrange jobs for them to ensure that they can have basic living security.

As for the measures such as rent reduction and exemption, year-end benefits, etc., it is needless to say, it is precisely because of such generous pensions and security measures that the recruitment of Hongtang can be in full swing, and a steady stream of soldiers will risk their lives to join Hongtang and work hard for Li Tianyang to support them.

The cost of infrastructure construction is also not small, and the residential area is basically equivalent to rebuilding, which is much more troublesome than starting from scratch and now organizing people to clean up the messy residential area.

Even if they have just experienced the terrible war, even if there is still a lot of hesitation in people's hearts, but under the leadership of Li Tianyang's team members, everyone is united, and the construction work in the chicken coop port is progressing rapidly, and the changes in the team in the port are developing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
