On the river surface, a steamboat burning firewood was slowly sailing, loading with a large amount of supplies upstream, approaching the pier not far upstream. There are farmland on both sides of the river, and lush forests in the distance, which looks green.

At the bow of the boat, several people gathered together to chat, one of them held a newspaper, reading and reading:

"The large amusement park has thrilling amusement facilities such as roller coasters, building jumpers, pirate ships, etc. It will be opened in Xiyang, Huangzhou in the near future. Please stay tuned...

He raised his head and looked at his companion: "Oh, you guys say, can this pirate ship be as exciting as the sea boats bumping on the sea?"

Another answered: "That's a big deal. Isn't this a pirate ship the steam shaking boat we were sitting on when we were training? It swung back and forth like a pendulum, so regular, where can it be bumped?"

"In my opinion, the roller coaster is strong enough. It is rushing down from such a high place, and it is spinning in circles and rotations. It should be very exciting. When I go back, I must sit."

"There is no hurry to ride the roller coaster. After I go back, I must go to the top floor of Yunxiao Pavilion for a meal!"

"Wow, what a big tone. I went to the top floor to have a meal. I heard that the minimum consumption starts at 300 yuan, which is not a small amount."

"Brothers, I will pay 30 to 40 guan each, so I will get it done? After dinner, everyone will have to blow it when they go back."

"Huh? Didn't you treat me? Why did you become a brother who gathered the crowd?"

"I'll treat you? Okay! When I find the mine veins and develop, please go to the top floor of Yunxiao Pavilion to have a meal!"

While chatting and laughing, the steamboat arrived at the dock and steadily approached the pier. After hearing the news, people rushed over and began to unload the goods.

All kinds of daily necessities, daily necessities and supplies were transferred to a carriage and then transported to the county town of Yanghe County, Jiazhou, not far away.

Yanghe City is a city with 2,000 households. The rammed earth wall protects the wooden houses in the city. All living facilities in the city are equipped, providing a stable residence for pioneers who travel across the ocean.

The pioneers settled here, cut down forests, reclaimed wasteland, built water conservancy facilities, opened up barren land into farmland connected by fields, planted crops and fruit trees, and after several years, they could be self-sufficient.

In Yanghe City, the magistrate Xie Wenqi looked at the materials transported and asked the officials to count them and put them in the warehouse. He took the newspaper and magazine subscriptions and several newspapers handed over by the person. He flipped through them and said with a smile: "This Xiyang amusement park is now overcrowded, right?"

"That's for sure. County Magistrate Xie returns to Xiyang in the future and you have to go and experience it." The men who came by the boat replied. After chatting for a few words, they all went to their own way.

Xie Wenqi handed the newspaper and the contract book to the clerk, and went to the warehouse to see that the workers processed the newly "arrived" iron farm tools and added wooden handles to the iron sickle, hoe, and shovel.

Reliable iron tools are needed to open up land and farm. No decent large iron ore has been found in Jiazhou area, and the iron output is not large, so we need to rely on sea ships to transport iron tools from the Central Plains in case of emergency needs.

Fortunately, the imperial court attached great importance to the development of the Jiazhou area and provided all kinds of materials very well. Although the sea ships only came in late spring and early summer every year, the ships carried a large cargo volume, and the various materials brought were enough to provide sufficient support for settlements in Jiazhou area.

When Xie Wenqi talked to the workers, the other party's tone of speech was a bit strange, with a strong accent. Not only did he say that he was far from Xie Wenqi's "Huangzhou accent" official language, he did not even look like the accents of various local dialects in the Central Plains.

These people's hairstyles are cut into hair. Although they are also black and yellow in skin, they look a bit special: there are a lot of tattoos on their faces and arms, and the tattoo patterns are strange and not like the Central Plains style.

The reason is very simple. As for this land, officials and civilians such as Xie Wenqi are outsiders, and these people are considered half of the locals: this is the west coast of North America, and these people come from Central America.

Originally, they were going to be killed by someone to sacrifice to the gods, but the Beiyang Trading Company used iron tools to exchange them from the local chieftains and city lords, and transported them to Jiazhou on the west coast of North America, taking on the important task of clearing the land.

The Central Plains pioneers from far away West were regarded as gods by the local Americans, so these slaves and prisoners of war who escaped from death obeyed orders, while the Central Plains pioneers treated them as good people and would not kill them at will.

They had clothes to wear and decent wooden houses to live in. As long as they worked hard and worked hard, they would have rewards. Many slaves and prisoners of war became reliable laborers in settlements and also became residents of the Jiazhou government.

Xie Wenqi walked out of the official office, climbed to the top of the city, looked at the lively dock by the river in the distance, and looked at the large area of ​​farmland outside the city, and felt a sense of accomplishment arises.

He and many officials responded to the call of the court, volunteered to go to America thousands of miles away to become officials, organizing pioneers to open up land and farm in order to build a new world and prove their abilities and abilities.

Jiazhou Prefecture, Dongping, was established by the expedition team when it first arrived on the west coast of the Americas (North America). It was located in a bay. Then people who came from across the ocean continued to explore the inland areas of the bay with Dongping as their base.

The bay has a large range, and a large river in the northeast enters the sea from east to west. The expedition team walked east along the river and found a "ya"-shaped fork: a river comes from east and a river comes from north.

The two rivers are named "East River" and "Bei River".

The expedition team first explored the "Bei River" and discovered a estuary area with abundant water and grass and a large amount of flat land in the upper reaches, so it set up a second stronghold.

In order to distinguish it from the first stronghold, we call the first stronghold "Dabu" and the Beihe River estuary stronghold "Erbu".

Later, when the expedition team explored the "Donghe", they also discovered a good settlement and set up a third stronghold, called "Sanbu".

When the imperial court officially established a prefecture (Jiazhou, meaning Jiahe) county in this area, the big port was named Dongping, the second port was named Yanghe (the mountains and rivers are named Yanghe), and the third port was named Donghe.

Trailblazers from the Central Plains arrived in Jiazhou by sea boat every year in late spring and early summer. A large number of Central American slaves came here, and they opened up land and farmed under the organization of the government and Beiyang Trading Company to explore and find ways.

Five years have passed, and with everyone's efforts, this barren area has begun to become lively.

Last year, the wheat fields around Yanghe City had a good harvest and achieved self-sufficiency in grain. The same is true for Donghe City. Poultry, livestock, such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, sheep, etc. transported from the Central Plains, also settled in Xintiandi and reproduced quickly.

There are also fishing boats fishing in the bay, providing sufficient sea fish for settlers, and several salt fields have also reached a scale, which can provide sufficient salt for settlers.

The first few years of the most difficult reclaiming land have been over. Although Jiazhou, which has a household number of 10,000, is isolated overseas, it has already initially possessed the basic self-sufficiency ability. Xie Wenqi thought of the hard times over the past few years, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Jiazhou was isolated overseas, but the imperial court wanted to operate it as a county in the Central Plains, so it did not set Jiazhou as an exile site. Instead, it organized a large number of pioneers to travel across the ocean to open up land and settle down in Jiazhou every year.

A large amount of supplies, equipment, and steam machinery were transported by ship to allow the pioneers to open up this land into a livable place as soon as possible.

This approach has initially achieved results. Jiazhou has changed from a trans-ocean fleet supply base to a self-sufficient prefecture and county, which has initially opened up the situation. In the future, Jiazhou area will be able to harvest more food to feed more and more immigrants.

When their group of officials returned to China, the Jiazhou area should have the prototype of the "new world" as the imperial court said.

As he thought about it, Xie Wenqi thought of his hometown of Xiyang, Huangzhou.

I thought of my wife and children living in Xiyang, and the large amusement park that should have been open now, as well as the Yunxiao Pavilion, which is known as the "No. 1st floor in the world" reported in the newspaper.

The consumption of Yunxiao Pavilion is too expensive and he can't afford it, but the roller coaster...
