Regarding the issue of resettlement of sacrificial households, Wang Quan and Chen Xinyuan could not make the decision, so they had to write all the proposals in a letter and sent them to Nanjing by Feige. Soon after, Zhao Peng replied, who said in the letter: "It is not a good idea to resettle sacrificial households in the port area. After all, we have to recruit a large number of local people as port workers. If they know that we have resettled a large number of sacrificial households in the port area, it may cause them to be dissatisfied, so the best way is to resettle them on an unmanned island."

The idea of ​​discriminating against the sacrificial family has been formed over the past two thousand years. After the Western Han Dynasty conquered the Nanyue Kingdom, some locals fled to live in the water. From that time on, people who moved in from outside began to discriminate against these sacrificial families. This concept has lasted for more than 1,700 years. It is not a matter of one day or one night to change the ideas of the locals.

What Zhao Peng considered was that if they were moved to a deserted island far away from the land, the survival of these people would become a problem. After all, they needed to trade with the locals and exchange fished seafood for daily necessities such as food, vegetables, salt, cloth and other daily necessities. If they were far away from the mainland, their trade with the locals would become a problem.

As for the treacherous households in Guangdong and Fujian, the resettlement is simple. There are many islands along the coast of Fujian and on the Pearl River that can be used to resettle treacherous residents, and these islands are not far from towns.

However, the resettlement of gangsters in Qiongzhou is a problem. According to what Wang Quan said, building artificial islands is not a good way for this era. This era does not have the advanced engineering machinery of later generations, and the cost of building artificial islands is too high. Therefore, the solution that Zhao Peng thought of was large-scale immigration.

Zhao Peng's plan was to place these gangsters on an island called Ap Lei Chau, a small island at the mouth of the Pearl River.

Ap Lei Chau, with an area of ​​only 1.32 square kilometers, is a very small uninhabited island. However, in later generations, it has become the world's highest population density and is connected with Hong Kong Island. It is definitely a good place to resettle nanners.

So Wang Quan and Chen Xinyuan changed back to the clothes of the Jinyiwei, took a group of Jinyiwei to the bay where the Tan people lived, and met with the tribe leader of the local Tan people.

"Move to Ap Lei Chau? Where is it?" asked the patriarch.

Wang Quan opened the map of the Pearl River Estuary, pointed to the location on the map and said, "It's right here."

The patriarch shook his head: "If you don't go, it's not the nest of the sea bandit bandit Liu Xiang. Since Liu Xiang was wiped out by the government, those places have become desolate places where birds can't shit. Even on the big island opposite, there are not many people. Let's move there and who will we sell the seafood we're fishing? No one comes to buy our seafood, and we can't buy food. Isn't it that our tribe members will starve to death?"

Wang Quan replied according to the content of Zhao Peng's letter: "Please rest assured, the clan leader is located in the mouth of the Pearl River, opposite the big island. Our Marquis named it Hong Kong Island. The Marquis will build large ports and cities on the island. In the future, Hong Kong Island will become one of the most prosperous cities in China. It will not be inferior to Nanjing, Suzhou and other cities, and it is much more lively than Qiongzhou Prefecture."

"But that's the future. Now that we're going to go hungry?" said the patriarch.

Although the sausages have endless seafood every day, people cannot eat seafood as food. If there is no food and eat fish and shrimp as food every day, they will not eat for long, and people will feel vomiting when they see seafood.

Wang Quan said: "Ap Lei Chau is located in the prosperous place at the estuary of the Pearl River, not far from Guangzhou, Haojing, Dongguan and Huizhou. As long as you have a little hard work, you are afraid that your seafood will not be sold? Our Ming Dynasty will soon play Hong Kong Island opposite, and a large number of immigrants will be immigrated. When there is more population, your seafood will not be enough to sell in the local area, and you are still worried that you have no income? Whether you are willing to immigrate depends on your voluntary. If you are willing to immigrate, our Jinyiwei will help you move. If you go there, you can live in the house built by the Shangguanfu for you. If you are unwilling to go there, we will find another place to settle it."

The patriarch said, "Let's do this, I'd better tell the clans the people about your government's proposal and see who would like to go."

Soon, the gang residents living in the bay near Qiongzhou Prefecture received the news. Although there were many people willing to go, more people were unwilling to go. So the Jinyiwei could only make other arrangements for those who were unwilling to go. Some people who were unwilling to go stayed in the bay of the port of Qiongzhou Prefecture; some people who were unwilling to go were arranged on some continental islands on the Pearl River; only a very small number of people who were unwilling to go were placed in the port area of ​​Qiongzhou.

Several years later, the descendants of the sacred households who stayed in Qiongzhou secretly scolded their ancestors for not having any vision and missed a great opportunity for their descendants.

The descendants of the Tan family who immigrated to Ap Lei Chau were later all millionaires. Within a few years, Hong Kong Island was built, and in less than a hundred years, it became a large port like Shanghai and Guangzhou, which was later turned into the most prosperous free port in the world.

The descendants of the Tan family who immigrated to Ap Lei Chau were not only in short supply of seafood, but also the territory they lived in became very valuable. Once the government seized land, everyone became millionaires. The dilapidated houses on the island were taken away by the government, and the government exchanged them for a new house on the Hong Kong island opposite them, and there was still a lot of money left.

In contrast, the descendants of the gangsters who stayed in Qiongzhou wanted to live on Hong Kong Island, but they could only live in high-rise residential buildings that were as depressing as cages. The living environment was like the dilapidated houses of the parents of young and dandy parents in later Hong Kong films. The family of five and six were crowded in a small house of only six or seven square meters. It was crowded and the rent was so expensive.

The problem of resettlement of the sacrificial households was solved, and the next step was the start of construction of Qiongzhou Port Industrial Group. The Steel and Chemical Group needed a large amount of coal, and the source of high-quality coal closest to Qiongzhou was naturally Annan, which required someone from the Ming Dynasty to develop coal mines.

For Annan Jiaozhi, it was only a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty used troops, but it was not now. With the current military strength of the Ming Dynasty, the first thing to do was to block the Qing Dynasty's attack, then counterattack the north, and recover lost territory. Therefore, the conditions for using troops against Annan are not yet met.

According to Zhao Peng's plan, we are now going to carry out economic colonization of Annan first, sending people to Annan to start a company, developing coal mines in Annan in the name of the company, building ports and buildings, and opening silver numbers in Annan. We use silver numbers to absorb the blood of the Annan people, and then plunder the resources of the Annan people by developing coal mines. Finally, we have to sell weapons to Annan, and squeeze out the last little silver for the Annan people, so that they can use the guns and cannons sold to them by the Ming Dynasty to attack other countries on the Indochina Peninsula.

"Give us the right to develop Annan coal mine?" Zhang Yuanwai was stunned for a moment, "It is naturally the best to open a coal mine in Annan, but we Caomin has no soldiers, so how can we suppress the locals?"

Wang Quan smiled and said, "If the local Annan government promises you to start mining locally, it depends on your ability. I believe that Zhang Yuanwai has this ability. As for the local local tyrants, you can recruit private soldiers from the company, the court can sell you weapons and ammunition at a low price. As for the candidates, you can choose from the captives in Qiongzhou."
