Chapter 799 Oceania (Part 2)

"Bang~" With a gunshot, a running beast fell to the ground and thrust a few times and then disappeared.

"Di'er, your marksmanship is getting better and better!" Zhu Youshuo walked out of the grass that was taller than a man and said with a smile.

At this time, Dier walked out of the grass with a hunting rifle, and her face was full of smug smile. She didn't know how to use a gun, but considering that it might be dangerous to come to Oceania, she followed Zhu Youshuo to learn how to use a gun when she was on the boat. After coming to Oceania, she even came out to hunt. Now her marksmanship is very good.

At this time, a guard rushed forward and brought the prey he caught. He saw that it was an animal that looked like a wolf and a dog. There was a very strange bag on its abdomen, which could store cubs. This is also a feature in Oceania. Many animals will have such bags.

"It's this kind of thyragon again. Unfortunately, there are no rabbits here, otherwise you could have a few braised ones." Dier was not very satisfied with the prey he had hunted. This thyragon was also the name given by the Han people after coming to Oceania. It is a very common carnivore in Oceania, but its meat itself is very thick and not very delicious.

"Don't, brother said that the ecology of Oceania is different from that of the Ming Dynasty. Rabbits have no natural enemies here, and there are grasslands everywhere. If there are rabbits, they will breed, which will have a serious impact on the ecology of Oceania." Zhu Youshang shook his head and smiled.

Rabbit is the biggest ecological disaster in Oceania in later generations, and Li Jie has always remembered this incident, so before Zhu Youzhu set out, he specifically told the other party not to take Rabbit to Oceania. Zhu Youzhu and Dier are also people who have learned biology, so they can naturally understand the reason.

It was getting late, and Dier asked someone to clean up his prey, and then rode back to the port with Zhu Youzun. This landing site has been officially named Zikan Port by Zhu Youzun to express their longing for their son Zhu Zikan.

The port is still under construction, and the project progress has accelerated a lot compared to before. After all, Zhu Youshuo brought a lot of manpower this time, which greatly alleviated the lack of employment. However, even so, the port is still very short of people. After all, to build such a large port, the manpower and material resources are not a small amount.

Zhu Youzun and Dier's residences are also very simple, but they are located in a small courtyard next to the pier, with three main houses inside. After all, the port is still under construction, and many officials can only live in temporary wooden houses, so it is very rare to have a built house.

While it was not dark, Zhu Youshuo recorded his experience today. He and Di Er went out these days, not just for hunting and playing. The real purpose was to understand the situation around the port, such as terrain, hydrology, animals and plants, etc. These things are also extremely important for the future development of the port.

The supper was made by Dier himself, and it was made of the prey I caught today. Although it was not as good as the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the Ming Dynasty, it also had a unique flavor.

After dinner, Dier helped Zhu Youshang handle today's official business. Now the port construction package was given to private merchants. In addition, they had just arrived, so there was not much business. At most, they were to place fleets and prepare to send fleets to the east along Oceania to find a more suitable place to build a city.

"Husband, although the construction of the port has accelerated a little, it is still a little different from our expectations. If we don't find a way to solve it, the entire construction period may be delayed." Dier sighed after reviewing a document.

"Yesterday I personally inspected the port and found out that the merchants had some information about the situation. I found that the material problem was not big. All stones and wood can be used locally. Cement workshops have been built. Our own cement will be produced in a few days. However, the manpower is still too different. Although we bring many people, each has its own uses. It is too much for them to do coolies." Zhu Youzhu said helplessly at this time.

This time, Zhu Youshang brought thousands of people, and this was only the first batch. There will be seven or eight batches in the future. Tens of thousands will come to Oceania. Apart from the soldiers, the rest of the first batch of people were officials and craftsmen. For example, the cement workshop was built by these craftsmen.

So before Zhu Youshuo just sent a team of soldiers to work, which alleviated the human resources problem. However, the gap in manpower is still very large, and Oceania is too far from the Ming Dynasty and cannot recruit workers to work.

Dier also knew very well about the matter of the port. After thinking for a while, she looked up and said, "Most of the merchants use natives as coolies. Can't they bring more natives to work here?"

"I asked, and the merchants said that there is work everywhere in Southeast Asia now. For example, the Uncle Dai Wang, who we met before, is also building a large-scale construction, which has also led to the increase in the value of the natives, and they may not even be able to buy it if they have money." Zhu Youshuo explained patiently again.

"If you can't buy it, we can only grab it ourselves!" Dier suddenly spoke after thinking for a while.

"Snatch? Who's the one you snatch?" Zhu Youzhu was shocked when he heard this. This was the first time he said the word "snatch" from Dier.

"Of course we are robbing the natives. We have soldiers and generals, and warships. There are so many natives in South China, and even many in Oceania. If we lack people, just go and rob directly." Dier said with a serious expression at this time.

"This..." Zhu Youzhu was still a little hesitant when he heard this. It was not because of his kindness. It was just that years of Confucian education made him feel a little unhappy. Although the natives at the port were also captured, it was captured by others, and it was still very different from his own.

"Husband, this is not the Ming Dynasty. We have to change our minds in some things. Moreover, my elder brother has taught me since he was a child that his heart will be different if he is not my race. These natives are now weak, so they can only let us slaughter. If the situation turns around, when our strength is weak, do you think these natives will be kind to us?" Dier persuaded again.

Compared to Zhu Youshuo, Dier was most influenced by Li Jie and was extremely hostile to these alien races, so she had no psychological burden to conquer and loot these natives with force.

Zhu Youzhuo thought deeply again after hearing this, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, that's what we do. With our little manpower, we don't know when to use it to annex Oceania. We must also use these natives!"
