The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

　　 The development of Taipei is methodical, opening up wasteland, clearing out tribes, setting up camps, and building roads. That's a lot of work!

Those tribes who have surrendered have shown their talents in the process. Whether they are soldiers or developers, they are more able to adapt to the local environment. When Tainan soldiers and people wrap themselves like steamed rice dumplings, they can walk like flying in the jungle, as if Not affected by malaria in general!

　　 So they have become the vanguards on the battlefield and on the construction site. Their active work has also been rewarded generously. Rice, meat, oil, sugar and eggs are provided for them and their families to eat and drink, and salary bonuses are awarded.

　　 summoned artisans to develop gold mines, many of them were from the mainland. When everyone arrived, they were required to fill in the "specialty". After verification, they were conscripted and conscripted for one month of free labor and then converted to market-priced employment.

The (Jinguashi) gold mine discovered by 　　 is an extra-large mining area. Its formation is related to volcanoes, forming an extra-large gold vein. The natural gold nugget is very large, and the largest gold nugget of fifty-two weights is presented to the Southeast Mansion! There is also a "golden bag". Its size is very small, usually only a few meters in diameter, and it is more than ten meters to tens of meters long. In a mine measuring hundreds to thousands of meters, the gold-clad The size is like a sesame seed falling on the table, it is not so easy to find.

However, although the so-called rich gold bag is small in size, its characteristic is that the gold content is very high. According to many miners, the richest part can wash out nearly half a bowl of gold in a bowl of ore. "Bao" can usually produce one ton or more of gold!

The upper part of the 　　 ore vein is rich in gold, and there is a large amount of copper ore in the lower part. There are even many shallow ore bodies whose gold is washed into the river by the rain. Therefore, traces of placer gold can be found in streams near the gold mines, and even in the Keelung River further away. . . All the gold, Yan Changwu shamelessly took possession of it!

　　The river sand gold panning took a lot of manpower and used a screen to wash out the gold particles.

　　 In addition to tools for mining gold, burning wood is used to burn the ore, and then poured with cold water. The ore expands and shatters when it heats up and shrinks. The gold miner grinds it into powder and sifts it with water in a bowl. This gold mining method was the main method used by ancient people to mine gold.

　　 This method is inefficient. The Southeast Mansion mines gold, uses explosives to open the way, explodes the mine, blasts the veins, and forms the mine.

　　 After mining gold ore underground, people put the ore into the basket and lift the basket out with a roller wheel like water.

　　 The first process is ore grinding: first put the ore into the water tank, pulverize the large pieces of ore through hydraulic action, and then grind it into powder with a stone mill, and grind it into a coarse and fine powder like cornmeal.

　　 The second process is panning. It is to wash the ore powder in water to remove the ore-free part, leaving behind the powder with more gold. The jargon is called concentrated ore powder.

　　 The third process is called sintering. That is, gold-containing powder and rice are mixed together to form pellets, which are layered with charcoal to form piles to remove sulfur from sulfides and sinter them into crispy ore pellets.

　　 The fourth process is called lead reduction smelting. The lead ore mass is mixed and smelted and chemically replaced to form lead masses containing gold and silver.

　　 The fifth process is called soot blowing. That is, the gold-containing lead block is smelted on the plant ash, and oxygen is blown in to remove the lead from the lead block. Blow away the grass ash and you can harvest high-purity gold.

　　 The last process of gold smelting is called the fire, which is also the most critical step in gold smelting! That is, the gross gold is turned into gold nuggets, and when the fire is turned into a fire, the crucible is first burnt red with a strong fire, and when the smelted gold water is purified to a certain degree, it is poured into the gold mold, and the gold smelting is completed.

　　The fuel used is coal. There is coal in the southeast prefecture, which is transported from Tainan to Taipei by cargo ships.

　　 The stone mill uses animal power to move it, and it uses cows, donkeys, and mules to work.

As for the manpower for mining, the Southeast Province became a slave owner and imported a large amount of indigenous work from Batavia and the Philippines. Buying and selling).

　　 Well, what, indigenous people, lazy?

　　 It was discovered that some Dutch and Western supervisors had a good deal of dealing with the indigenous people. They were able to teach "a bear must be recognized as a rabbit", and then even the supervisor would import it together!

　　 Tens of thousands of natives worked and hired hundreds of Hong Mao Fans as supervisors. Three years later, the Han people learned the slave training skills of Hong Mao Fans, kicked the Hong Mao Fans back to the South China Sea and managed them on their own!

　　 The number one in work output is meat, and the last one is whip!

Of course it is not that simple. The style of the Southeast Mansion is to have both hands hard. In addition to compulsory measures (mining is not a treat for dinner), it also gives the slaves hope. For example, every year, hundreds of well-performing slaves are naturalized into the Southeast Mansion and become common people. Enjoy the benefits!

　　 Miners who had worked for another fifteen years were sent back to their hometowns, and the Southeast Government sent a small amount of silver dollars as compensation. As a result, they had this silver dollars, which was actually higher than their hometown income!

　　 The news came that many indigenous people wanted to become slaves to the Han people. . .

　　People say that Yan Changwu is a very kind god!

Gold and copper are developed together. Chinese people have rich experience in copper mining. They have adopted a combination of shaft and inclined shaft, inclined roadway and flat roadway, and used various technical means to solve the problem of underground ventilation, drainage, and ore supply. And roadway support and other complex technical issues. A number of copper smelting shaft furnaces were built with reasonable structure, including ventilation ditch, hearth, golden gate (placement of copper liquid and copper slag) and vents, and continuously smelted copper ingots.

　　 Fortunately, the mining of copper mines yielded 1,000 tons of harvest, and it has steadily increased since then.

In this way, with copper, the Southeastern Government issued its own coined copper coins. Because of their high composition and exquisite shape, they were very popular in the mainland and Wadao~www.wuxiaspot.com~ they were collected as much as they put on the market, often No shadow.

　　 But copper, the most important thing is to cast guns, which will be mentioned later.

In addition, the Keelung Chuanjin placer gold mine, Ruifang gold mine, and large-scale rich gold mines were discovered in Mudankengshan. Adding up from multiple gold mines, fifty thousand taels of gold enter the Southeast Fukuoka in almost a year. !

　　 These golds are imported or exported. There are 200,000 taels of gold in five years, which is equivalent to 5 million taels of silver in Europe. It is really terrifying. Yan Changwu's economy can be said to be a wealthy country.

　　 Yan Changwu looked at the report of the mining area and was so happy that he shouted "I have money at the start!"

Money is the guts of men, and gold is the spine of the dictator. With a steady stream of mainland silver, shogunate silver, Spanish silver, Dutch silver, and British silver, the money from the southeast prefecture flows into the silver vault like a flood, allowing the southeast The government can expand its armaments and prepare for war, build ships and artillery, strengthen its strength with violence, and show his muscles like a boxing champion. Yan Changwu's carriage number is 00544 (I try to move it)!

　　Development and operation, giving welfare to the people to buy people's hearts, and their people's hearts are attached.

　　 Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian at the time, was very depressed when he heard that the Southeast Mansion had shipped a large amount of gold and copper. He asked, "Is this kid (Yan Changwu) really the reincarnation of gold and copper under the seat of Mazu?"

　　 especially pointed out "Gold and Copper" instead of "Jin Jiatong". He is a big man. Once his words are spread out, many people will call Yan Changwu the reincarnation of gold and bronze in the future!

　　 Everyone said that Yan Changwu didn't introduce himself wrongly. We heard him wrong. It should be the reincarnation of the golden and bronze boy, not the golden boy!

　　 Later, in the folk worship, Yan Changwu became a "golden glitter" and was turned into a glittering boy next to Mazu, and was enthusiastically loved by the people!

　　He is the **** of war, or the **** of wealth!
