Chapter 611: Borneo Plantation

After more than 20 young people got off the boat in Manila, after connecting with a few Chinese, they rode in a special carriage, without alarming anyone, quietly heading towards the plantation, more than 20 young people with a secret mission, they have long seen the map of Southeast Asia in the northwest, which is based on the original world map carried by Yang Yuanzhao, plus the investigation of unstable intelligence over the years, the more accurate map obtained, it can be said that the understanding of Southeast Asia is above, The Northwest is already ahead of the rest of the world.

A small number of the more important large cities in later generations have been developed, but most of them have not yet been developed, which gives the northwest the opportunity to have a harpy in front of them, and constantly establish plantations in the form of farms, and the main development area is on the island of Kalimantan in the later generations of Marimania.

Kalimantan, known as Borneo in this era, has a total area of 743,000 square kilometers and is one of the largest islands in the South Seas.

Harpy, such a world-class rich man, cultivating plantations here, can not only get income from buying land, but also have a fixed tax every year, which adds up to a lot, and the annual income is amazing, plus Harpy is an important rich man in Germany, and the Netherlands is such a small country, but it can't afford Germany's anger, and it turns a blind eye to many things.

The nearest plantation, less than 50 kilometers from the port, was in a specially built forest path, and after almost two hours of travel, the curtain covering the carriage was opened, and the handlebar in charge of the carriage said: "All right, we are at our place, you can breathe!" ”

The heart that has been hanging is finally put down, Borneo and Indonesia for the Netherlands The role of the Netherlands is self-evident, this is one of the few colonies of the Netherlands outside, and it is a steady stream of colonies that can generate income, they have understood before they came, this is the www.biquge.info of the Northwest to begin to meddle in foreign affairs, although I don't know why the Northwest does not expand in the direction of Beiyang and the ** Party, but it can open up a deadlock for China, which is for any young person, It's all temptations that are hard to hide.

The harvest is always dangerous, and if you move the interests of others, you have to guard against the rebound, and it is definitely not a good choice to attract the attention of the Dutch in the port and the big city, and now that you have finally arrived at your own people's place, the safety is greatly improved.

Zhu Hua looked at the land outside through the curtains, he was the person in charge of the 20 people sent to Nanyang, and he was also the deputy commander-in-chief of Nanyang appointed by the northwest, as for the commander-in-chief, it was Yang Shu, who had been handling the affairs of the farm on the Nanyang side.

This farm, is only 2 years of construction of the farm, almost 120 square kilometers, after more than 2 years of development, has been very good, a large number of farmers have immigrated there, now the whole farm has more than 20,000 young and middle-aged people, the total number of people has reached more than 60,000.

Similar farms, in Borneo is almost all sides of the flower, large and small there are more than 300 places, the smallest of which is about 20 square kilometers, the largest almost reached more than 700 square kilometers, the current northwest statistics, the area of the farm has reached more than 30,000 square kilometers, the cumulative reclamation of 37 million acres of arable land, the total number of workers who come to Indonesia to farm is as high as about 2.7 million, of which the young and middle-aged labor is about 800,000, the average of each middle-aged laborer, need to be responsible for more than 40 acres of land.

Of course, at the request of Yang Yuanzhao, the commander-in-chief and the harpy here have always been relatively restrained, and all Chinese laborers, whether they are working or resting, are strictly forbidden to go to the streets, and are not allowed to leave the scope of the farm casually.

Such a requirement, in a sense, is like a prison, the farm is almost completely isolated from the outside world, fortunately, Yang Yuanzhao was prepared quite well before, the farm has prepared a qiē, whether it is shopping, or eating, wearing, using, can be found in the farm, complex and unfamiliar environment, so that these farmers do not dare to violate the order of the northwest, the most important thing is that education, also with the arrival of teachers, penetrated into the hearts of these farmers, in their opinion, education and literacy, It's something that's far, far away from them, but Hanyu Pinyin and Simplified Chinese suddenly make it a lot easier for them and easier to learn.

I learned the knowledge, I knew what I didn't know before, especially what China is, what China is, what foreign powers have done in China, and more importantly, Southeast Asia, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, in the hundreds of years, countless Chinese have chosen Nandu and come to this barren land, with the help of their own hard work, cultivation and accumulation, they have accumulated a lot of wealth, and it stands to reason that they can live very happily.

But when hundreds of years ago, foreigners arrived in Southeast Asia, the nightmare of the Chinese appeared, for the foreign colonists, these individual people, they have no state support behind them, they are bullied, and even enslaved objects, especially the Dutch, they will urge the local natives every ten years, attack the Chinese, countless Chinese blood, become their wealth, the Chinese are like pigs being raised one by one, when the time comes, they will be harvested, their wealth, Their lives, even women and children, became trophies of the colonizers.

The common people are kind, especially these people who have left their homeland, they will not leave the land where they were born and raised until a certain distance, they almost empathize with this, and the peasants do not want to fall to such a point in the future.

A small group of troops specially transferred from the northwest quietly arrived in Nanyang as early as the beginning of the plantation development, and at first it was the factory protection team, and later it was the regular army, and a total of about 1,200 regular troops were dispatched, and they selected a part of the suitable young and middle-aged people, and set up a factory protection team with the workers' and peasants' self-defense force as the main body, and they trained with the regular army, stationed in each farm, and were responsible for the safety and protection of the farm.

Especially after 1909, some education teachers were specially transferred, and under repeated mobilization, in the end, most of the people recognized that for the Chinese people, who gave them food and who let them live a good life was their food and clothing, and in Nanyang, they had enough to eat, lived a good life, and most importantly, they obtained the land, although it was still two years before they could finally get it.

According to the agreement signed at the beginning, after coming to Nanyang, after working for 5 years, they can obtain the right to purchase the land, and now the earliest is only more than 3 years, less than 4 years, but there is always a hope, but the entire Nanyang, dense jungle, all kinds of fertile land, a certain way, let them believe that as long as they continue to work hard, it is inevitable to obtain land.

One by one, plantations, from the initial 400,000 acres, step by step expansion, Nanyang plantations, under the accumulation of funds, gradually expanded, 5 marks an acre, which is unimaginable in Europe, this is not Europe, is a barren Southeast Asia, in addition to the mature fields that have been developed, here is full of devastation, there is no at all, except for a small part of the mining, will choose, here a circle of land for mineral exploration, the real farming of one is not, otherwise the whole Nanyang, It will not be barren and devastated after such a long period of time by the Western colonizers.

At this time, just entered the farm area, is a farmland and rubber groves interlaced area, in the South Seas of these plantations, only part of the cultivation of grain, the rest of the majority, almost three-quarters of the land, are growers rubber trees, this is the most important resource in the South Seas, but also an important resource in the future world, the role of rubber, in the northwest after the construction of a large number of automobile city and a variety of automobile factories, particularly prominent.

These rubber trees, only a small part, are planted over the years, because even if the rubber tree is scientifically cultivated, it will take a few years to grow into a talent, fortunately in Southeast Asia is the production area of rubber, there are still a lot of in the field, in the Harpy sent a large number of personnel, many of them hired local people, found enough rubber trees, the larger ones, directly spent effort to transplant them, the smaller ones, are also transported, rubber trees, in the agricultural science, there is a set of systematic things, Yang Yue and Harpy, Passing through the United States and the United Kingdom, respectively, they got something systematic, which was enough for the South Seas, where rubber trees are extremely easy to grow.

Through rows of dense rubber forests, the periphery is newly planted, but inside, gradually see the rubber forests that are being harvested, tapping rubber, Zhu Hua has a number of jù on hand, the northwest of 30,000 square kilometers of plantations in Borneo, last year produced more than 7,000 tons of rubber, although compared to the huge, full 20 million acres of rubber plantations, it is only a minimal, but it has greatly supported China, rubber has become the focus of many because of the emergence of automobiles, Otherwise, there would not have been the rubber crisis of a few years ago, and plantations far away in Brazil and Africa would have been impossible to get in the northwest.

This situation will be greatly changed in one or two years, when the five-year planting period is reached, when the rubber enters the vigorous period of production, only 20 million acres of plantations will produce hundreds of thousands of tons of rubber and gradually improve, to the peak, even one million tons.

The carriage came to a slow stop, and a large number of houses appeared in front of it, similar to ordinary houses in Baotou, which were reinforced concrete brick structures, because of the rain in Southeast Asia, most of them were not square, but the roofs of tiled houses. R1152
