But the destination of the immigrant fleet is not the mainland, but the Zhoushan Islands.

To be precise, it is the archipelago that goes south from Daishan Island and borders the mainland.

Among them, one-quarter of the ships stayed on Daishan Island, two-thirds of the ships docked on Zhoushan Island, and the remaining ships went to Jintang Island, which was closer to the mainland.

In ancient times, my ancestors lived in the Zhoushan Islands. They belonged to Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period and were called "Yongdong". During the Tang Dynasty, they were separately established in Wengshan County and later abolished Yin County. In the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi further set up Zhoushan Islands as Changguo County.

From the Southern Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, sea trade flourished, and Zhoushan was also promoted to a prefecture due to the "sea road danger" and "household registration is twice as many as 10,000 yuan".

But in this dynasty, Taizu strictly enforced the sea ban and Zhoushan suffered a devastating blow.

In the 19th year of Hongwu, Tang He requested the residents of the island to be moved to the mainland on the grounds that the Zhoushan Islands were "hanging in the island, and the robbers were easy to produce robbers" and the powerful men were incorporated into Ningbo Guards. How many tragedies happened on earth.

But Zhoushan is located in a very good location, with developed fishery resources, and it is a natural maritime trade transfer station, which is within easy reach of the mainland. People who cannot survive can even pass by the door panel.

So in the next hundred years, the Zhoushan islands gradually regained their population. Shuangyu, located on Liuheng Island, became the East Asian maritime trade center and a maritime paradise for smugglers.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Maritime merchants and pirates often had two sides. While commuting and trading, they would also plunder the coastal people, so the "Japanese trepidation" rekindled.

In the 26th year of Jiajing, Zhu Wan, the governor of Zhejiang and the military affairs of Fujian and Guangdong, came to the Japanese to deter the Japanese. After taking office, he found that the Japanese pirates at that time were no longer Japanese pirates like Guochu. Although there were indeed a large number of Japanese roninmen among them, they were just hired thugs. The maritime merchants and most of the sailors who hired them were their own people on the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang.

So Zhu Wan implemented the Baojia joint position system along the coast, vigorously rectified the coastal defense, and sent a large army to conquer Shuangyu the following year, and executed all the captured criminals of the Japanese. In the end, he even blocked Shuangyu Port at all costs to prevent future troubles.

However, because of the small land and a large population, maritime trade has long become the most important means of livelihood for residents in the southeast coast, and almost every household is directly and indirectly involved. Moreover, the backend of the maritime businessman was originally a powerful family, so Zhu Wan was impeached and killed without authorization and dismissed from office for interrogation.

Zhu Wan had a noble character and committed suicide after hearing the news. Before her death, she said, "I am poor and sick, and I am arrogant and can't stand the humiliation of the court. Moreover, even if the emperor does not want to kill me, the people of Fujian and Zhejiang will definitely not let me go. If I die, I will solve it myself and don't need others."

After Zhu Wan's death, Wang Zhi tried to rebuild the glory of the Shuangyu in Zhoushan again in Ligang. As a result, in the 32nd year of Jiajing, the governor of Zhejiang Zhi, Wang Jun, ordered Yu Dayou to capture Ligang again, and Wang Zhi was defeated and left Japan.

Later, after Wang Zhi surrendered and was captured, his remnants were still entrenched across Zhoushan, but were completely wiped out by Qi Jiguang in the Battle of Cengang in the 36th year of Jiajing.

The experience of being wiped out by the court again and again has exposed the Zhoushan Islands too close to the local area of ​​money and grain, which is difficult to accommodate the court, and is easily attacked by the sea. Since then, sea merchants and pirates have avoided Zhoushan, and the noisy Zhoushan Islands have completely silent.

Until the end of Longqing, a man who was determined to be a sea king ruled the sea border of the Ming Dynasty and unceremoniously took the Zhoushan islands into his arms.

However, Zhao Hao was unwilling to re-enter trade and open a port in a sensitive place like Zhoushan. First, the history here is too easy to cause criticism, and second, both Shanghai, Ningxia and Hangzhou are under his control. Why bother to leave the distance and establish a trade center on the island? Isn’t that a waste of time?

So in the first few years, Zhoushan had the only Jiangnan Security Group Training Base on Shengshan Island, except for the meteorological stations that provided typhoon warnings to the mainland.

It was not until the century-old immigration kicked off that the Zhoushan islands finally had their place to use their skills again, becoming the group's northern immigration distribution center and the group's largest immigration transfer base.

Except for the immigrants from Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou who are transferred to Hong Kong, immigrants from other provinces across the country must first concentrate in Zhoushan and then be distributed to various overseas administrative regions.

Due to the speed of transferring immigrants overseas, a large number of immigrants are inevitably stranded on Zhoushan Island, and they have to wait three months on average before they can set off, or even half a year.

Because the group's sea boundary is too vast, the speed of sailing ships is limited, and it is restricted by climatic factors such as typhoons and monsoons, this is difficult to improve at present.

Jiangnan Group, which emphasizes scientific management and is accustomed to calculating carefully, naturally has to take advantage of the situation to arrange some things for these prospective immigrants, so that they cannot waste time and eat food in vain.

So we simply upgraded the Zhoushan Immigration Distribution Center to an immigration training center directly under the Immigration Commission. After the original immigration was allocated, the immigration education conducted by various administrative regions was concentrated in the Zhoushan training center.

This not only allows immigrants to receive more professional training, but also allows them to devote themselves to their new life in a more relaxed and better state. It also reduces the burden on various administrative regions, but also allows them to obtain higher quality and more adaptable to the management of the group. It is a win-win situation.

After 16 years of construction, Zhoushan Training Center has become larger and larger. Currently, a total of twelve training detachments and 240 training brigades have been established on the island, Daishan Island and Jintang Island, which can provide three-month training for 480,000 permissible immigrants at the same time.

When the country no longer harms the sea and when the government no longer sets its own restrictions, people soon discovered that the Zhoushan Islands are completely integrated with the south of the Yangtze River. It is close to Shanghai, Ningxia and Hangzhou, with extremely low transportation costs and extremely short transportation distances.

With the unprecedentedly strong production capacity of Jiangnan region, as long as transportation is not a problem, there is no pressure to maintain the operation of such a super base. Moreover, the island's quasi-immigrants, training cadres, group employees, and security forces totaling more than 500,000 people. Such a strong consumption demand directly led to the economic takeoff of Ningbo Prefecture, which is closest to, and the area around Shaoxing and Hangzhou also benefited a lot.

This is also the most incredible thing about traditional scholars and officials. Zhao Hao and Jiangnan Group spent money like soil and made great efforts, but they never waste money like Emperor Yang of Sui and Master Cheng of the People. On the contrary, they made everyone richer and more prosperous, and the market became more and more prosperous, which is really unbelievable.

But the miracle happened before my eyes. After more than 20 years of watching it, even the most stubborn old stubborn person would not accept it.

After arriving in Zhoushan, the prospective immigrants were handed over to the training center for management.

The training center completely broke up the prospective immigrants into different training teams based on small families, allowing them to adapt to living with their companions from all over the world from now on.

Li Shouzhong and Gundam were assigned to the 58th Training Brigade, with the brigade stationed in Wang Qing'ao on Zhoushan Island.

Ao is a coastal area of ​​Fujian and Zhejiang, and it is called the plains of the mountains.

The Zhoushan Islands are actually a sea of ​​islands that surface. Therefore, there is a lot of mountainous land, less flat land, and less land suitable for cultivation. Most of them are coastal areas at the foot of the mountain, with severe salinization.

Even if you barely plant crops, the sea water will flow backwards when the typhoon comes.

Moreover, the Zhoushan Islands cannot escape the islands lack stable surface water and it is difficult to retain the defects of rainfall. So it is really not a blessing from heaven.

But how can we leave our will to fate a nation that never bows to nature?

Our early ancestors lived on the mountains and carried out fishing, hunting and salt production. They built ponds and dams around the mountains, and built land through the "long grass to surround the dikes and build gates around the mountains", built ponds and storms to build land, turning the sea into mulberry fields, and gradually changing their living environment.

Similar to the situation on Chongming Island, the Zhoushan Islands are located at the intersection of the Yangtze River, the three rivers of the Yongjiang River and Qiantang River. A huge amount of mud and sand rushed into the sea with the water of the Sanjiang River, dyeing the entire Hangzhou Bay yellow-brown.

Therefore, the Zhoushan islands actually stood on mud flats deposited by silt. Especially during the Tang and Song dynasties, Chongming Island formed at the estuary of the Yangtze River, which further increased the siltation rate of mud flats along the coast of Zhoushan, making large-scale polder fields possible.

Moreover, in the Song and Yuan dynasties, the government organized the people to reclaim the land, which greatly improved the efficiency, and a total of 100 square kilometers of land and more than 100,000 mu of arable land were added.

However, after this dynasty forced the dynasty to move more than 30,000 residents of the forty-six islands of Zhoushan into the mainland, a large number of seawalls built during the Song and Yuan dynasties gradually collapsed due to disrepair, and a large number of gentle slopes and dry land was also deserted due to no one to cultivate.

Although the island was later restored to population, large-scale projects such as seawall construction require government organizations and sufficient labor to carry out. This is obviously not within the capabilities of Xu Dong, Wang Zhi and others.

But Jiangnan Group can be called an infrastructure maniac, and has free labor after another. Moreover, it has accumulated rich "sea coating reclamation" technology on Chongming Island, and no one in the world can build fields better than them...

In the past decade, the captains and teachers of various training brigades have led wave after wave of quasi-immigrants and have built moisture-proof seawalls for the entire Zhoushan Island.

Then expand outward one by one. The purpose of building seawalls is not to prevent moisture, but to reclaim and promote silt like Chongming County!

Today, the training center has reclaimed a total of 300,000 mu of arable land, far exceeding the peak of the Song and Yuan dynasties! A series of water conservancy projects such as reservoirs and water diversion canals have been built, which has basically solved the irrigation problem.

In addition to the terraces on the mountain, sweet potatoes and potatoes that have begun to be cultivated on a large scale, the center has basically achieved self-sufficiency in food...

So when Wang Qi, a captain in his forties, came to Wang Qingao with two thousand prospective immigrants from the 58th Brigade, what Li Shouzhong and Gaoda saw was a scene where there were layers of seawalls outside to resist the sea tide and thousands of hectares of fertile fields inside. The village with pink walls and black tiles was built along the mountains, and several rivers meandered between the village fields...

If it weren't for the sea outside, it would almost make people think that this was the Peach Blossom Land that the native of Wuling, Jin, had accidentally entered.

However, there is really a Peach Blossom Island next to Zhoushan Island...

The prospective immigrants were stunned. This was the paradise they imagined.

"Brother, if we can live here for the rest of our lives, what else can we do?" Gundam said with a slutty saliva.

"Look at your promising prospect!" Li Shouzhong snorted, but a bright thread flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Wang Qi looked at their reaction with satisfaction. This was also part of immigration training, and it was more convincing than drawing any big cake...
