After visiting the small urban area, everyone found a nearby restaurant for a brief lunch, and then went to see the local farming situation.
The Sasebo River is the main water vein near the port, so the government used the river valley along the Sasebo River as the current agricultural land when planning the land use.Immigrants who are naturalized locally can apply to the government for a piece of land for farming, and obtain grain seeds, agricultural tools, and basic agricultural technology guidance provided by the government to ensure a minimum livelihood. This has also become an attraction for Japanese immigrants. A great weapon.
"You have also seen that the terrain here is not too open, the area that can be used as arable land is relatively limited, and there is not enough labor. It is difficult to engage in large-scale agricultural development by forming collective farms like other places. So the local agricultural products basically have no advantages at all, and the current output is mainly to supply the local market, reducing dependence on foreign countries as much as possible.”
When it comes to agricultural development, this is not Amakusa Shiro's strong point.Although the Ministry of Agriculture has also sent officials here to guide production, due to local objective conditions, it is not easy to take the path of characteristic agriculture or industrial deep processing. At present, we can only focus on food production as the main direction , and strive to ensure the local food supply, so that at least the cost of external procurement can be saved.
Rice, corn, and potatoes are the main food products in the area, supplemented by fruits and vegetables, poultry farming, and fishery, and the output can basically meet local needs.When the production capacity of food crops is higher, some processing industry chains such as wine making can be gradually developed to obtain more economic benefits.
In fact, in the final analysis, the problem lies in the shortage of labor force.The existing labor force is simply not enough to implement the various plans of the government, and the Sasebo authorities must prioritize the operation of the base and port, and the demand for agricultural construction can only be placed in a second place, and food self-sufficiency can be realized locally. Self-sufficiency is good enough.
Zhu Zian, who was accompanying him all the way, was thinking that Haihan had built such a large-scale port and military base in just a few years, and with the supporting subsidiary industries, the operation efficiency was not low. .With such a mature mode of operation, it is no wonder that Wang Anguo and his son dared to go to the other side of the ocean thousands of miles away to open up territories in foreign countries for Haihan Kingdom.
Whether Japan is far or close to China is not far away, but no matter how prosperous the dynasties were in the past, they failed to achieve the level that Haihan is doing now. More than 200 years ago, the Mongols organized two expeditions across the sea, which ended in haste.From this point of view, Hai Han is indeed much stronger than his predecessors.
However, it has only been more than twenty years since the founding of Haihan. If this trend continues, perhaps one or two generations later, the vast territory of Haihan will be beyond the reach of all dynasties.
Although Zhu Zian is a son of a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty, he has not even been officially naturalized in Haihan so far, but when he thinks that he is in the process of creating history, he can't help feeling a little emotional.If it is said that he had a preliminary understanding of Haihan's strength when he was in Hangzhou and Zhoushan, then after this mission to Japan and Korea, he has a more real understanding of Haihan's influence in overseas countries.The attitudes shown by the two neighboring countries in the East China Sea towards Haihan seem to be far more submissive than they were before Daming. This may be due to the difference in strength.
After all, Sasebo is just a small place that has not yet formed a climate. After a day, I basically went shopping inside and out.It's just that the handover of the troops' garrison was not completed so quickly. Both Shi Chengwu and Wang Anguo had to participate in it, and the mission couldn't leave.Amakusa Shiro was afraid that these young people would be bored, so he asked his two sons to take them into the mountains to hunt to pass the time.
On the fourth day after the mission arrived in Sasebo, Shiro Amakusa invited them to the headquarters of the base, saying that someone from Nagasaki Port had come and hoped to meet with the mission.
To receive such attention from Amakusa Shiro, the identity of the visitor is certainly not ordinary civilians.According to Amakusa Shiro, the visitor was Ozaki Seijiro, a trusted retainer of the Nagasaki local official Ozaki Yuta.As for why they came to Sasebo to seek an interview with the mission, it was obvious that they had received relevant news and came here to find out.
The distance between Sasebo and Nagasaki is not far, and the two sides must maintain a certain degree of communication, and a huge armed fleet suddenly arrived from Sasebo, and it is normal for Nagasaki to react after receiving the news.
Kozaki Seijiro didn't beat around the bush, and immediately stated his intentions straight to the point, hoping to confirm Haihan's purpose of suddenly increasing his troops in Sasebo.Amakusa Shiro probably wanted to win the trust of the other party, so he specially invited the embassy out, and let them explain the purpose of the trip to the other party.
Haihan's decision to send a mission to visit Japan within this year had been notified to the Japanese authorities a few months earlier, but he did not mention that there would be a large armed fleet accompanying him.Shi Chengwu told Ozaki Chengjiro that the fleet was not hostile during this trip, but mainly to protect the safety of the mission, and took this opportunity to complete the ocean training. At the same time, he also expressed to the Japanese shogunate the willingness of Haihan to defend international peace.
"According to what this lord said, this fleet may pass through Nagasaki Port next?" Ozaki Chengjiro keenly grasped the main points in Shi Chengwu's words.He didn't care about the bells and whistles, but if this armed fleet was going to visit the port of Nagasaki, it would have to be handled with care.Therefore, he was very cautious when asking questions, and specially used "via" instead of "visit".
But Shi Chengwu didn't care about such details. He nodded and said, "After we finish our rest in Sasebo, we are going to visit Nagasaki Port at the next stop. Surely Lord Ozaki won't welcome us?"
Kozaki Chengjiro's face changed slightly: "Nagasaki Port's capacity is limited, I'm afraid there won't be enough docks for your country's fleet to dock at the port!"
When he entered the port just now, he paid special attention to the berthing of the Haihan warships in the port, and it was indeed consistent with the information he had obtained before. The fleet that came to Sasebo even far exceeded the fleet that was originally stationed.If this group of people lingers after breaking into Nagasaki Port, no one will be able to invite them out.
Shi Chengwu heard what the other party meant, and responded with a smile: "Your Excellency, there is no need to be nervous. Our visit to Nagasaki Port is not malicious. On the contrary, our visit will bring several trade cooperation projects to Nagasaki and establish a number of The plan to fix transnational trading ships should be of great benefit to the future development of the local area!"
