Chapter 1220 Heading to the terminal
Of course, Tan Juren and the others didn't really come here for hunting. For them, hunting was just a new activity they hadn't tried before, not a real hobby. If it was a senior general from the military, maybe they would be interested in this kind of activity. have different interests.But for civilian officials like them, this is just a taste of something new. Going to the wild environment to relax and relieve the pressure before taking office is the biggest purpose of this trip.
Besides, killing such things is a relatively unfamiliar experience for them.This is not the daily experience of slaughtering chickens, ducks and fish for the sake of appetite, but simply killing for the sake of killing. To be honest, not everyone is willing to enjoy the pleasure of killing.Tan Juren himself was one of them. In fact, his mind was not on hunting animals. After firing a few shots indiscriminately, he simply handed the gun back to the guards and concentrated on chatting with Zhang Yun.
At the back, the hosts and guests were all interested in riding horses to enjoy the scenery, and all the hunting was left to the followers.However, in order for these soldiers to kill more and cause too many unnecessary killings, Zhang Yun also specially ordered them not to use rifles, but to use cold weapons.In addition, the scope and time of activities were limited to prevent these people from running too far after being released.
Han Zhengshan had been waiting for this opportunity to perform, so he rushed out with his horse and whip.He is not a bloodthirsty person, and after staying in Haihan for so long, he also understands that the chiefs above are not keen on killing. Otherwise, a person like him who knows too much about Haihan's inside story, I am afraid that he would have been shut down because of the need for secrecy. It was sunk into the Qiantang River, so don't even think about going to Zhoushan Island.However, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to show his abilities right now. At least he had to let his boss know that it wasn't luck that he was able to get the headhunter in the Hangzhou government.
After some tossing, Zhang Yun ordered the scattered guards to gather up, and the sharp whistle immediately sounded repeatedly in the wilderness, calling the hunters who were active outside to return to the team.After doing some counting, it turned out that Han Zhengshan had the most fruitful results. Apart from smaller targets like pheasants and hares, he even shot and killed a sambar by himself.Although it was not an adult deer in size, there was only such a large prey among the prey that everyone shot.
After everyone watched it, they naturally had to laugh and comment. Congratulations to Tan Juren for finding a competent person.Tan Juren agreed with his mouth, feeling more or less radiant on his face, and nodded to the expectant Han Zhengshan to show his encouragement.Han Zhengshan could naturally understand the expression on his boss's face, and felt a lot of relief in his heart, secretly thinking that all this hard work was not in vain.
Naturally, these animals that had been hunted and killed would not just be discarded like this. Zhang Yun ordered them all to be transported back to the resort, and prepare a feast for the tourists as soon as possible.According to their schedule, they had to board the boat and head back after lunch.
Tan Juren looked at the sambar that Han Zhengshan shot dead, but Zhang Yun saw his thoughts, and immediately comforted him: "Don't worry, this deer will not be wasted, the venison will be given to you Eat, the deerskin is peeled off to tan the leather, and the deer bones are slowly processed to make bone specimens, which are useful for the whole body."
As a biologist, Zhang Yun naturally had a plan for how to deal with these hunted animals, and Tan Juren's worries were indeed a bit excessive.There is a small museum under construction next to the resort, which will be used to store and display various animal specimens in the future. Of course, it will also sell peripheral souvenirs made of animal fur, bones, head horns and other body parts to tourists.The full use of animals from birth to death was originally part of the commercial development of this project.
The practice banquet at noon was naturally very rich, and everyone ate their mouths full of oil and enjoyed it.Such fresh game cannot be enjoyed even in the bustling Port of Anbuna, which is dozens of miles away.Everyone patted their chests and said that as long as there is an opportunity in the future, they will take the initiative to promote Zhang Yun's good place under his management.
After this lunch, everyone is about to end this short vacation and rush back to Ambuna Port to report.Zhang Yun sent everyone all the way to the pier, so he regretted saying goodbye.In fact, there are very few time travelers coming here to visit him. Even Mu Xiabo, who is also guarding the island, is busy with his own business, so he can't see each other a few times a year. After a long time, he still feels a little lonely. Accompanying Tan Juren and his group all the way this time was not all out of politeness.
After Tan Juren boarded the ship, he also stood on the side of the ship until he was far away from the pier and could not see the people on the shore clearly. Then he returned to the cabin and asked the secretary to call Han Zhengshan over.
"You performed well just now, did you practice bow and arrow?" Tan Juren asked while pointing to the seat in front of him, motioning him to sit down and answer.
"Chief, before entering the yamen as a humble worker, I also worked as a hunter in the countryside. I know a little about bows and arrows. I haven't practiced for a long time, and my hands are rusty. The chief laughs at me." Han Zhengshan answered carefully and humbly.
Tan Juren nodded and said: "I think you also know that in addition to managing local security, the magistrate also has another task, which is to cooperate with the military to train the militia. I think your skills should be useful at that time."
Han Zhengshan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said modestly: "This is all about flamboyance, it can't be taken seriously, but this is the responsibility of training soldiers, I will definitely do my best to not let the chief down."
Since Haihan has always followed the route of elite soldiers, the size of the army has always been relatively limited, and the training and use of the militia has become a means of public security that the government attaches great importance to.It can be used to maintain local law and order in peacetime, and it can also be used as a reserve army to respond to emergencies when armed in wartime.Especially in overseas colonies with relatively small populations and limited military garrison scale and defensive measures, training a certain number of militias has become an effective means to maintain combat effectiveness while saving military expenses.
This work is generally led by the army. If the magistrate has certain military literacy, or even a retired professional officer from the army, then the local police organization will often participate in this plan. Some colonies simply use the armed police as the militia. part.
Although Han Zhengshan was not born in the army, his personal martial arts and combat experience are still far superior to ordinary people, and he also knows a lot of things in the world, so he is indeed an excellent candidate for the local magistrate.However, Tan Juren didn't realize how strong his subordinate's personal ability was before this, so he hadn't talked to him about the militia training arrangements.Originally, these matters were to be discussed with the military after arriving at the destination, but after seeing Han Zhengshan's wonderful performance in hunting, Tan Juren decided to explain this matter to him first, so as to make mental preparations in advance.
Han Zhengshan wholeheartedly wanted to strive for fame and fame, so naturally he would not feel that the burden on his shoulders was too heavy, so he quickly expressed his determination to his superiors, lest this hard-won opportunity to perform slipped away from him.
Tan Juren nodded, and then said: "But you are a bow and arrow. You can play in your spare time. You should practice your marksmanship after taking office... Well, I'm talking about a rifle that shoots bullets, not a red-tasseled gun. You know, we The Haihan army is equipped with flintlock guns, and the only cold weapon is the bayonet on the rifle, and it is rarely used. If you are not familiar with this rifle, it will not be easy for you to become a militia instructor in the future."
Han Zhengshan quickly responded: "This subordinate understands that during the training in Sanya, there were also rifle shooting exercises, but there were very few class hours, and this subordinate did not dare to pretend to be proficient."
"When we get to the place, I will arrange for you to go to the military to train for a few days first." This is a trivial matter for Tan Juren, as long as he greets the garrison chief.A few days of special shooting training for newly appointed sheriffs is also a simple task for the military.
Han Zhengshan had been in the yamen for so many years, so of course he would not underestimate these arrangements of his boss. It was obvious that his boss appreciated him and was willing to give him more opportunities. He quickly thanked him and then bowed out.
A group of people boarded the boat safely and returned to Anbuna Port before dark, and exchanged ideas with their companions who stayed here.The two groups of people have different interests. Those who stay are those who like excitement and material enjoyment. The group who go to see animals yearn for freedom and love outdoor activities. So after the two-day exchange of experiences, both of them still feel that they are The choice is right.
The group of people who stayed in Anbuna Harbor basically spent the past two days enjoying the town, enjoying the so-called decadent lifestyle, surrounded by wine pools, meat forests, and beauties.However, their days of enjoyment have basically come to an end. After leaving Annabuna Island, there will be no gold-selling caves of this scale and grade in the South China Sea. In the future, they can only experience this taste of enjoyment in their memories. .
The ships damaged in the previous storm have basically been repaired. Two of the sailboats with damaged masts could not complete the repairs in Ambana Port, and could no longer continue southward at a slow speed. They had to turn back first and head to Cam Ranh Port. The shipyard completes repair work.
However, the fleet will still stay in the port of Ambuna for one day, because Mu Xiabai will also arrange for them to inspect several plantations in the north of the island.This is not only to attract them to invest in the island, but also to let them know as much as possible about the planning and operation of the plantation, so that they can promote similar plantation development plans in their own jurisdiction.
The next day, Mu Xiabai took the group to visit several plantations about five miles north of Ambina Port.This area is dominated by rubber trees and spice crops, but some crops such as rice, vegetables and fruits are also planted in the fields at intervals. Each plantation is actually an independently operated farm. In addition to planting cash crops, there will also be Livestock such as horses, cattle and sheep, poultry, and even large fish ponds constructed using groundwater are raised.
"Before we came, there was no such rich agricultural form here. The Dutch didn't want anything but spices, so they used all the reclaimed land to grow spices, and the food consumption on the island was mainly purchased from outside." While leading the way, Mu Xiabai introduced the development situation here: "But at present, our food production can meet most of the needs of the island. Although the population has increased by nearly ten times, the amount of imported food has decreased compared to the previous two years. half."
In addition to the neat planning of the planting area, everyone also noticed that most of the laborers here are not Han Chinese. There are many foreign youths with dark eyes and tall noses or dark skin who are working, but the foremen who direct them are almost all Han Chinese. .
"They are all slaves who were sold here." Mu Xiabo quickly revealed the identities of these aliens: "Those who are hardworking and willing to work will stay to take care of the plantation, and those who want to steal and play tricks will be thrown into the Logging crews or quarries, where the labor intensity is much greater than on plantations.”
After hearing this, everyone understood that the logging team and the quarry were the standard facilities for hard labor camps in Haihan. The more lazy they were, the more difficult they would be assigned to.
Mu Xiabo went on to say: "In the place where you will rule in the future, there should be many foreign slaves. I think you might as well refer to our practice here. Also, remember to give these slaves Chinese language training courses so that they can accept them as soon as possible. The status quo should be integrated into Haihan. Intermarriage among different ethnic groups should also be encouraged to eliminate the barriers of racial differences as much as possible.”
There is no ethnic division in the Haihan Kingdom. No matter what country or ethnicity a person is from, after naturalization, they only have the identity of Haihan nationals.This is also a decision made by the Executive Committee after learning a lot of historical lessons. If an immigrant country like Haihan still distinguishes between ethnic groups, it will undoubtedly create official obstacles for the integration of citizens. It deliberately downplays the diversity of ethnic groups in the country, and wholeheartedly promotes the integration of different races—of course, such integration must be based on the Han people, absorbing and accepting other foreign ethnic groups.In the final analysis, Haihan is still a Han regime, and it is impossible to sit back and watch fundamental changes in the population structure.
After a short one-day inspection, Tan Juren subscribed for a [-]-acre plantation from Mu Xiabo as his first overseas investment.Of course, he can also wait until he arrives at the destination and get a piece of land in his administrative district for agricultural development, but in line with the principle of not putting eggs in one basket, he thinks that investing in a farm in a place like Ambuna Island is also a good idea. Good choice.Anyway, the plantation investment here can be directly entrusted to the Ministry of Agriculture, and I only need to collect the dividends every year, and the procedure is just a matter of signing a few documents.
There are quite a few people who think like Tan Juren, and in the end almost all of them have more or less subscribed for a plantation here.That night, Mu Xiabo held another dinner party to practice for the companions who were about to embark on the last journey.After departing from Ambuna Island, the fleet divided the troops into several groups and sailed to their respective terminals.
