Chapter Sixty-nine Abraham(2/2)
What he has to do now is to embed himself in the south and encourage both the north and the south to continue the fighting.
Dong Shuheng, who was on the ship, wrote some orders, sealed them, and asked someone to forward them to Liu Mingyuan.
The next thing is still carried out by Lao Liu.
The fleet continued to sail downstream along the Lancang River.
The original Luang Prabang now belongs to Lan Xang Province.
Because the three rivers, Nankang River, Nansen River and Nanwu River, flow into the Mekong River here.
So Dong Shuheng named this place Sanhe Mansion.
Sanhefu is the capital of Lancang Province.
The Fucheng was built on the basis of the original royal capital, and no new walls were built.
Instead, a new city was built on the riverside based on the newly built dock area.
From a long distance away, Dong Shuheng saw some brick and stone buildings. There were some small buildings of two or three floors in the core area.
Pang Bo, the governor of Lancang Province, was already waiting at the dock with a group of people.
Pang Bo is very young, only in his early thirties this year. He started his career step by step from the Huai Navy Government. He is a young official who knows how to do things.
"Hello, President." He saw Dong Shuheng getting off the boat.
Pang Bo led the people to greet him.
"Pang Bo, you are a lot of trouble." Dong Shuheng held his hand with one hand and patted his shoulder with the other.
"Hehe, yes, President. The sun here is so poisonous that it doesn't even get dark even if you don't want to."
Dong Shuheng shook hands with the attendants behind him one by one.
Almost all the people standing here are young officials.
Although the work in this newly developed place may be harder and more tiring, it is the best place to train young officials.
Behind the team, Dong Shuheng also saw several monks wearing cassocks.
Most of the Indochina Peninsula believes in Theravada Buddhism, and the power of Buddhism is deeply rooted here.
When the Renaissance Army stationed here, they reached an agreement with the temple here.
The Renaissance Army allowed them to continue preaching, but abolished many of the temple's privileges. For example, the temple was no longer allowed to control large amounts of land.
These temples are responsible for the ideological work of the remaining local indigenous people.
It turns out that these temples are doing very well.
Dong Shuheng politely put his hands together and bowed to these great monks.
The capital city is not big, after all, it is just a newly developed province.
At present, there are only two to three million Han people who have migrated here.
Because it is close to southern Yunnan and connected by waterways.
Therefore, most Han people migrated here with their families.
They brought their families and their families over on a government ship, and then disembarked near the assigned villages.
Each family has to build its own house and reclaim wasteland when it reaches its own place of residence.
One good thing about Lancang Province is that many places have been developed.
The local people were all kidnapped by the Holy Army, leaving many villages vacant. In places like these, after the immigrants settled, there were still simple houses and some reclaimed land.
According to the rules, they still relied on government subsidies in the first year.
Now most of these villages are on the right track.
The climate here is warm all year round, and the land can be cultivated all year round.
This is much better than immigrants from outside the customs.
Many villages can enter production mode after several months of preparation.
Dong Shuheng followed Pang Bo and soon arrived at the provincial office building. It was a three-story red brick building. Inside was not only Pang Bo's provincial team, but also the administrative team of Sanhe Prefecture.
Fortunately, there are not many people in both government offices.
Entering a conference room that had been prepared, Dong Shuheng first held a meeting with the officials here.
Small pineapples, lychees, papayas and other local fruits were also placed on the conference table.
Colorful and very beautiful!
"Is this your own fruit?" Dong Shuheng asked, pointing to the fruit on the table.
"Yes, President, you said that we rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. We don't have much flat land here, most of it is mountainous. Fortunately, these mountains are very steep and very suitable for planting fruit trees."
"Well, but Pombo, have you thought about what to do with these fruits when there are more fruit trees?"
The population here is so large, and we can’t eat fruits as food. The local consumption in Lancang is certainly not large, and we must rely on the external market.
But fruits are not easy to store.
In fact, Dong Shuheng knew that fruits were very important for improving people's dietary structure.
Dong Shuheng has always wanted to change the original single dietary structure of the Chinese people, which was mainly based on grains.
"President, if we grow more in the future, we will definitely sell it elsewhere. The fruits we have here are not available in the north."
"Yeah, that's right, but have you ever thought about how these things are transported and how they are stored?"
"Uh...well, President, maybe we can make it into cans." Bloomberg obviously hasn't thought that far yet. After all, this is a new province for immigrants, and everything has just begun.
"There are two ways to transport fruits over long distances: one is to make them into cans. But this will increase the cost of things. To make cans, you need to have jars, at least a factory that makes clay jars or glass jars, and in addition
Specialized food processing plant.”
"Another way is cold chain transportation." Dong Shuheng said.
"President, I have seen this can, but what is cold chain transportation?"
"Haha, it's not your fault. You should know about electricity, right?" Dong Shuheng asked.
Pang Bo nodded yes. He was not engaged in scientific research, but he still read newspapers. I heard that people in Xinjing had already boarded the tram and had access to electric lights and telephones.
These things are not available in the remote Lancang Province.
"Our institute has built machines that can cool things down."
"Just transport the fruits that are not yet fully ripe in a cabin with a refrigeration machine or in a container, and then take them out and let them ripen naturally after arriving at the destination."
"After a while, you can apply to the Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of Industry to build a hydropower station. I think there are many places around Sanhe Prefecture that are suitable for building hydropower stations. You don't use much electricity now, so you can build a small one first. Then it will be like
This conference room can be equipped with an air conditioner. When the weather is hot, turn it on and the whole room can be cooled down."
The people sitting here are all government officials and can be regarded as cultural people, but many people were shocked by what Dong Shuheng described.
Human power can still do this!
With these air conditioners and refrigerators, southerners, especially those in Indochina and Southeast Asia, will have a good life.
