Dayuan City is the name of the Dutch resident by the Ming Dynasty's maritime merchants and pirates. The Dutch map is not called Dayuan.

At the beginning, the Dutch called this Olenge Castle, and later it was renamed Gerlandzha City. When the fortress at the entrance of the bay began to be built, the Dutch called the fortress Gerlandzha Castle, and the Dayuan City changed its name to Chichi City.

In fact, Dayuan City is not a city, at least not at this time.

The Dutch only built a two-story high-rise building here as a shopping mall, while other places were military camps and warehouses, without even a city wall, and it was messy, like a small fishing village.

However, this place is indeed a good place, not only with natural shelter, green mountains, green waters, and plains.

Zhu Qizhe stood on Chi Chi Building, scanning the four directions with a telescope. The more he looked, the more he liked it.

This place is simply great. Not only is the water source abundant, but the climate is also quite suitable. More importantly, there is also endless fertile soil, and basically no one has opened up land and farmed.

The plain west of Dayuan City is really big. Even if you scan it with the most accurate telescope, you can't see the limit. According to Zheng Chenggong, this plain even extends to the vicinity of Bengang!

In other words, this is a large plain two or three hundred miles long and forty or fifty miles wide. Moreover, the weeds on it are quite dense, which proves that the land below is quite fertile. If it can be reclaimed into fertile fields, it will not be a problem to feed millions of people!

Such a good place, where to find it!

He wants to immigrate again.

Unfortunately, most of the victims in the northwest have rebelled with humans at this time, and few people have run around Yunyang again. Otherwise, more than 100,000 victims will be migrated a year and reclaimed land and farmed. In less than ten years, this place will be turned into a super large granary.

Alas, there is not enough manpower!

What to do?

There are only a total of millions of refugees under his command. If all of them are moved here, who will defend Zhejiang and Sichuan, who will defend Chongqing, Xuzhou, Bozhou, and Shuixi, who will defend huge territory!

Large-scale migration is unlikely, at least, it is unlikely in recent years.

However, it is impossible to put such a good place in vain and not develop it.

Zhu Qizhe put down his telescope, thought for a while, and then said to Ning Choudan beside him: "Brother-in-law, send someone to notify the princess, ask her to mobilize two hundred wheels and boats, and move 10,000 young and strong men and their families here in batches."

Ten thousand young and strong, plus their family members, there are 40,000 to 50,000 people in total. If you buy enough oxen and open more than one million mu of fertile land for them, it will definitely not be a problem. Then you will find a way to cultivate rice with the best choice. With the climate here, planting it for two seasons a year, and producing three to four million stones of rice is not a problem.

With this foundation, it would be easier to summon disaster victims to migrate here. After all, the main reason for the rebellion of the victims is that they have no food to eat. With this granary, they can have enough food every day. Who has nothing to do to rebel!

This place may become the fundamental solution to the Northwest disaster victims, so we must naturally protect it.

Zhu Qizhe raised his telescope and looked at the surrounding terrain, cities, forts, forts, ports, etc. plans came to his mind one by one. Unfortunately, there was not enough manpower at this time. I don’t know when the Rélanzhe Castle will be built.

The thousands of Dutch prisoners were simply helping the masters and soldiers. They were used to being masters and letting them work, but they couldn't do it at all, even if they were whipped.

Alas, it seems that I have to think of a way to speed up the progress.

Thinking of this, he quickly got off Chichi Tower, took a group of personal guards to the dock, attracted several wheel boats, and headed straight for the Relanzha Castle.

Soon, the huge castle construction site appeared before him.

According to the Dutch drawings, the entire Jelancha Castle is divided into three levels.

The first floor is actually to dig a dirt platform about three meters taller than the ground based on the terrain, and then build a city wall about five meters high around the dirt platform.

Before he occupied this place, the Dutch had already escorted the maritime merchants and shipmen to build it.

Next, dig out a three-meter-long earth platform on the first floor, and then build a city wall about five meters high around the earth platform.

This is actually based on the terrain, because the island where Jelanzha Castle is located is like a mountain with a relatively gentle slope. Building a three-story castle is like digging out three-story terraces on this mountain, and then building forts, barracks, and mail towers on the three-story "terrains".

These Dutch people are too lazy. They have a burly figure and work like they have not eaten. They are weak. At this moment, the outline of the second-floor soil platform has not been dug out.

If they were allowed to continue to work so hard, they would probably not be able to complete the work in a year or two.

What to do?

He really didn't have many people under his command at this time. The young and strong he brought this time was just enough to control the more than 20 tower ships and gunboats and more than 300 wheel boats. It would take at least two or three months for the next batch of ten thousand young and strong people to transport them in batches.

In other words, if he wants to complete the work within two or three months, he must find an additional person.

Question, where did he find someone?

He stood on the construction site of the bastion and pondered for a while, and soon came up with an idea.

Zheng Zhilong has someone under his command!

This guy gathered more than 100,000 victims from the coast of Fujian near Bengang, where they were clearing land and farming.

And it's only March now, and there is still more than a month before the sowing season.

If this guy is willing to borrow someone, it will be no problem to borrow 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Thinking of this, he ran back with the wheel boat.

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong was taking his men to repair the building ship gunboat in the dock left by the Dutch.

He was really excited. The seven tower ships had gunboats, and there were more than 300 guns alone. If all of them were repaired, the firepower of the fleet under his command would be doubled instantly!

Fortunately, the Dutch built a temporary dock in order to maintain the warships, otherwise he would have to find a way to bring these warships back to Bengang for repair.

At this moment, he stayed in the dock day and night, personally taking the craftsmen under his command, forgetting to eat and sleep, and speeding up work, just wanting to repair these building ships and gunboats as soon as possible.

When Zhu Qizhe ran over to find him, he was nailing wooden boards with a hammer. His strength was like taking medicine.

Isn’t this guy just a few gunboats? As for being so excited?

Zhu Qizhu walked over and said laughing and crying: "Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, take a break first, I will discuss something with you."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhilong put down the hammer in his hand with some reluctance and asked anxiously: "Brother Zhu, what's the matter?"

Zhu Qizhi admitted: "Are we going to the north to clean up the Spanish in two months? I want to find some people to repair the castle of Rará within two months, so that I can leave with confidence."

You also know that you will go to the north to clean up the Spaniards in two months, and I will have to repair these gunboats within two months!

Zheng Zhilong replied subconsciously: "I'm short of people too. I want to find some people to fix these gunboats quickly!"

I'm so dizzy. You're repairing a boat. What you need is an experienced carpenter. I just find someone to dig soil and build walls. As long as you are a young man, you can basically get started.

Zhu Qizhuo said helplessly: "The main purpose of building the Relanzha Castle is to dig soil for time. Don't you have more than 100,000 civilians under your command? Can you summon 20,000 to 30,000 young and strong people for me?"

Oh, dig the soil.

This is a job that you can do as long as you know how to farm.

Zheng Zhilong was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "I can help you recruit people, but those people are not my subordinates, and I can't force them to work. At that time, it's hard to say how many people are willing to come over. After all, it's so comfortable to rest at home, who would be willing to come to do this cool work?"

This is not simple, money can make the devil push!

Zhu Qizhe said generously: "Go and tell them, two taels of silver a month, you can eat it, and you can eat it with fullness."

Damn, you rich man!
Chapter completed!
