Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 199 The Development of Wutou Island

The next day, the immigration operation on Wutou Island began. Three hundred refugees who had just arrived on Jialan Island boarded the ship in an orderly manner under the command of Jialan officials and sailed towards Wutou Island.

By the time they arrived at Wutou Island, it was already afternoon.They originally thought that a barren land was waiting for them, but they did not expect that when they got off the boat, what they saw was an entire community and neat fields divided into squares.

"For the first three years, you will pay [-]% of your harvest. After three years, the divided farmland will be your private property, but you still need to pay agricultural taxes..." Hemingway looked down at the document and read each word carefully.

This agricultural policy of Wutou Island was not written by Huang Jiang, but was organized and compiled by his subordinates. The central idea was the equal distribution of fields envisaged by Huang Jiang.Theoretically speaking, as long as Huang Jiang wants to, the land on Wutou Island can be privately owned by him without considering the feelings of the people below, just like other deacons in the Federation.

In the current federation, there are almost no farmers with personal fields. They are all professional farmers who work for the deacons. They do not have their own land. Most of the harvest every year is handed over, leaving only enough food to survive. If the harvest does not happen that year, At best, they often even go hungry.

And even the land owned by individuals does not belong to farmers. Generally, wealthy businessmen who return to their hometowns to retire will buy land from deacons and give it to their tenants for farming.

This situation will definitely lead to the inaction of the deacon group, and even the oppression of the people at the bottom, but they will not squeeze it so hard that they will complain. After all, the deacons are different from the traditional land aristocrats, unless they have powerful sea soul troops and successors. The people are equally good, otherwise the deacons will not inherit, and often the new deacons will take over the entire island after retirement. This sometimes leads to the embarrassing situation of changing orders from day to day, but it also protects the interests of the farmers to a certain extent.

In any case, when they heard that the land would be theirs to own in three years, everyone looked in disbelief.

Hemingway also found it difficult to understand why Huang Jiang made such a decision, but no matter what the deacon did, it was legal in this land, as long as he did not attack the parliamentary investigation team, other than that, even if he was in his own territory Attacking other deacons without reason is not expressly prohibited by law. Deacons cannot criticize each other with real swords and guns. In fact, it is an unspoken rule among deacons in private.

However, sometimes the unconsciousness of this group is even more binding than the law. There are many such unconsciousnesses, most of which are manifested as morals, and in some places they are called rules on the road. Even Sartre's bombardment of Dogwood Island this time was also Not directly towards Bronte.

Although there are a lot of discussions on the Sea Soul Forum now, all of them are accusing Sartre-Andrew of his ridiculous behavior, but judging from the number of posts, the Sea Soul Masters of the Merchant Alliance have entered the battlefield.

Huang Jiang, who had experienced countless floor-washing tricks in his previous life, could see these childish floor-washing remarks at a glance. The caliber of their floor-washing was very uniform:

"Sutter-Andrew suspected that there were mirages on Dogwood Island that had not yet been cleared, so he bombarded Dogwood Island for the safety of Deacon Brontë."

A smart person can see through such unfounded charges at a glance, and the federal deacons with islands behind their names are all the elites of the deacon academy. Although they are sometimes constrained by the vision of their own class, it is very simple to see through these simple words. .

But unable to bear the three men becoming tigers, some people gradually began to believe that Sutter-Andrew was really trying to help Deacon Bronte.

Huang Jiang could only express: "???"

Sure enough, no matter where you go, speaking without restrictions will lead to a decline in the IQ of the group, no matter how high the quality of the group is.

Huang Jiang patted his head. He always had the feeling of watching a fight on the Internet in his previous life. However, in comparison, the melons in his previous life were better looking. After all, the reversal and reversal were very dramatic. Although he was a little tired from watching it, It is still performing the truth that reality is more fantastic than fiction.

Huang Jiang had no intention of participating in this war of words. He went to be a bystander just to find out why Sartre wanted to bombard Zhuyu Island.But now, there is no clear answer in the forum, and Sartre himself has remained silent. It seems that he will not explain what happened on Dogwood Island without the big boss.On Wutou Island, farmers still did not dare to specify that the land under their feet would be property in their name, and the officials who took Jialan to confirm it continued.

Fortunately, this group of immigrants from Wutou Island had all received basic literacy education in Jialan. There was no problem in understanding Jialan's policies, so after explaining it, Hemingway directly posted the document on a glass window. , there is also a reclamation order posted at the same time.

In one winter, a construction team of more than 100 people only reclaimed about a quarter of Wutou Island's land, and Huang Jiang did not intend to waste precious construction manpower on the remaining part.According to calculations, this part of the land is enough to supply the current food needs of the three islands of Jialan.

However, Wutou Island was not built as a food producing area for the three islands. Its ultimate goal is to supply enough food for half of the governor's territory. For this reason, the Huangjiang River must remove nearly four-fifths of Wutou Island. The land is cultivated as fields, while a fifth of the forest on the east side is reserved for windbreak use.

In order to ensure the irrigation of the fields, a medium-sized reservoir is under construction in the middle of Wutou Island, and it will be able to store water by the end of the year.However, the Jialan area has always had sufficient rainfall, and the reservoir is just a precautionary measure and a fresh water reserve.

As a maritime country, fresh water has always been a concern for every deacon. In comparison, islands with their own fresh water resources are definitely more popular.

Among the three islands in the Yellow River, only Jialan Island has a freshwater lake. Although there is a river on Iris Island, it is a saltwater river that runs through the island. There are no lakes or rivers on Wutou Island.

Under Hemingway's command, the immigrants entered their divided houses one after another and started a new life.

Saratoga crossed her arms and looked at the streaming crowd.

"Is there only that much?" Gaga asked calmly.

"This is just the first batch. Deacon means to be as unobtrusive as possible." Hemingway explained.

Saratoga didn't say anything extra, just nodded, yawned and walked back to where he was stationed.Her reconnaissance planes were still circling in the sky.

Today, there is still no sign of the mirage.

How boring.

Jia Jia was a little sleepy.The submarines went to play in the sea early in the morning. The big mackerel and archer fish seemed to have discovered some magical landscape under the sea that day, so they summoned all the submarines and ran over there today.

On the Jialan side, in addition to the immigration work on Wutou Island, Huangjiang also has a very important thing to do.
