The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 1923: Sakhalin Island

Suha actually felt that he was not capable enough, so he recommended to Marin:

"Khan, Suha's talent is mediocre, and I'm afraid he won't be able to be the leader of the Saurons. But my three younger brothers are all smarter than me. Especially Muren, who is the smartest and has learned the language here. Three can't learn..."

Marin waved his hand and said:

"It's because Muren can speak German that I want to keep him for other purposes!"

"Is there another use?" A few people didn't speak Chinese very well, and some didn't understand it, so Marin had to explain it.

Suha asked:

"What is Da Khan's arrangement for Muren?"

The four brothers all looked at Marin with concern, and Marin felt that there was nothing to hide, so he said:

"I plan to hire thousands of Sauron warriors in the future, and then form an army, all commanded by Mu Ren, to conquer the Indian savages in the American jungle. Moreover, I plan to send the families of the thousands of Sauron warriors to Take it over and form a new Sauron tribe in the American forest. Then, let Muren be the Sauron Khan."

Hearing this, Su Ha nodded, and was very satisfied with Muren's arrangement, and Muren's eyes showed surprise. You know, there are thousands of khans. In the Daxing'anling area, there are thousands of tents under his command, and he is definitely a big boss at the overlord level.

Moreover, the clever Muren has also been to North America. He knows that the climate in North America is much better than that of Daxinganling. It is better to be a khan in this kind of place than to be a khan in his hometown.

At this time, Suha asked again:

"What about Balhu and Yadan?" He was about to leave Europe and return to his hometown, so he was a little worried about his younger brothers.

Marin thought for a while and said:

"Balhu will go back with you and assist you as the leader. As for Yadan, he will stay with me first, and be the leader of the falconers together with Baigeri. In the future, I will definitely recruit many falconers, Bai Geri and Yadan are the chief and deputy leaders of the falconers, and they are treated favorably."

The five bowed down to thank Marin together, and Marin accepted it frankly. Then, Marin ordered again:

"Back to the Northeast, the biggest problem is the problem of heating in winter. How do you survive the winter now?"

Suha said:

"The Saurons wintered,

They lived in a 'cuoluozi' wrapped in suede skin..." Suha made a gesture to let Marin understand that it was probably a tepee tent.

"Then, light a fire and set up a stove to keep warm. There is a lot of wood in the big forest, so it doesn't affect the heating."

At this time, Muren suddenly interjected:

"The reason why Cuoluozi is made into a conical roof is because the roof is afraid of being crushed by heavy snow. It is bitterly cold in Saibei, and it is winter every year for half a year, and there is a lot of snow. If it is flat, it is easy to be crushed by snow."

"However, when I humbled myself to go to the countryside of Beihai Country, I saw the adobe houses with heated kang made by Da Khan. They are very suitable for the bitter cold of Daxing'an Mountains."

It should be pointed out that, for the same adobe houses, there is a difference between the adobe houses in the urban version of Beihai and the adobe houses in the rural version. It is difficult to obtain firewood in the city, so there are no earthen stoves or heated kangs, and briquette stoves are promoted for cooking, and sheds are set up at the door for cooking.

As for the adobe houses in the countryside, because of the rich source of firewood, they have heated kangs. However, the North Sea country is not too cold in winter because of the influence of the North Atlantic warm current. For ordinary people, a little straw curtain made of wheat straw can also be used as a quilt to keep out the cold.

Of course, there are also people who bring a briquette stove into the room to heat a pot of water in winter. However, Marin has made mandatory regulations - the windows must be opened to burn briquettes indoors, which has avoided the death of many ignorant people.

After hearing Muren's words, Marin nodded and said:

"This is no problem. When Suha goes back, I will send someone to teach him the 'block-building method' of this kind of adobe house. By then, all the Saurons who follow Suha will be able to live in adobe houses with heated kang."

Afterwards, Marin continued to point to the map and told Suha:

"By the way, Suha, do you know this Sakhalin Island?"

"Sakhalin Island? Did you mean Kuyi Island?" Suha asked carefully.

Marin slapped his head, and it seemed that Sakhalin Island in the Ming Dynasty was Kuyi Island, and the people on the island were also called Kuyi. Later, the Qing Dynasty felt that the neighbors in the hometown called Kuyi Guan, and then changed the name to Sakhalin Island. After all, the word "Yi" was taboo in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. When Chief Qianlong revised the "Twenty-Four Histories", a large number of words about barbarians were deleted.

"Well, I just want you to control Kuyi Island. After all, Kuyi Island is very close to the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, and there should be rich mink resources on the island. You can send people to Kuyi Island to build a city and buy them there. Mink. As for the location of the city...have you heard of Iraqi City?"

Yidui is later Alexandrovsk, a town on the west coast of the middle section of Sakhalin Island. During the Jin Dynasty, Yidui City was built there, but with the demise of the Jin Dynasty, Yidui was gradually abandoned. Just like Nuer Gancheng in the Ming Dynasty, he was abandoned by the court.

Su Ha looked bewildered, and the other four also shook their heads not knowing. Marin slapped his head, remembering that after the Jin Dynasty, Iraqi pairs were all gone, so naturally they were no longer famous. Moreover, all five of them are Saurons, not Jurchens, so naturally they don't know Yi Dui.

Marin also learned about some things on Sakhalin Island after reading the posts on the End of the Sky. In fact, the Outer Northeast and Sakhalin Island have always been a thorn between China and Russia in later generations, which will never be removed.

But Marin felt that it was not safe to publicize things about Northeast China and Sakhalin Island on the End of the Sky. Because, the end of the sky lùn tán is the earliest position for fooling those public officials. It wasn't until Weibo appeared that those stupid liberal arts officials who had studied in Europe and the United States shifted their positions.

Frankly speaking, the matter of Outer Northeast and Sakhalin Island is indeed Maozi's problem. However, in the case of the old American situation, it is the best choice to deal with the affairs of the outer Northeast coldly. After all, Huaxia also needs to hug Maozi to keep warm. At this time, the issue of the outer northeast should not be overly publicized. Moreover, these guys jumped out to promote this when China united with Russia to fight against the United States, clearly sowing discord.

Although Maozi is not a good thing, in such an international environment, Lao Mei is the number one enemy. You're promoting Maozi's hatefulness at this time, just to benefit the old fisherman.

There are also a bunch of idiots, bragging about how good it is to run a farm in a foreign country every day on the horizon. Especially those who boasted about going to Australia to open a farm, Marin wanted to laugh when he saw it. why? Because you go to Australia to open a farm, you can't afford to hire labor...

Australia is a great place, but there's something wrong with the people there. Not to mention the two-faced and immoral things done by the descendants of these British prisoners in later generations, the labor expenses there alone are not affordable for ordinary people.

In Australia, the annual salary of a skilled cowboy is at least 70,000 to 80,000 Australian dollars, which is 30,000 to 40,000 soft sister coins. What is this concept? In China, an annual salary of 100,000 can hire a talented student. Even if the salary in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou is high, an annual salary of 200,000 is enough to hire talented students. In Australia, the annual salary is 400,000 to 500,000, just to hire a cattle herder...

mmP, spend hundreds of thousands a year to hire cowherds, and his brain was kicked by a donkey...

Therefore, the land in Australia is very good, and you cannot afford to hire Australians. Doing some small jobs requires wages that even top students from prestigious universities can't get, but what they produce are worthless agricultural products. Therefore, I went to Australia to open some farms when I was sick. Unless, it is a family farm that I personally cultivated. If you hire someone, well, all the money will be taken away by a few Australian cowboys, you'll make a lot of money...

...

Marin pulled his thoughts back and put his gaze back on the map. He pointed to the map and said:

"Yidui is probably in this area. You Saurons don't know it, but the Kui people on the island must know. At that time, you will build a seaport city near the ruins of the old city and buy mink fur from the Kui people."

"In addition, there is a coal mine near Yidui. I will send someone to find it. After finding it, you can dig coal and use it as a source of fuel for Nuergancheng and Yiduicheng." This is why Marin attaches great importance to Alexandrov Sk is the reason for this small place. In the article on the horizon, Alexandrovsk is an important coal mine and coal export port.

Suha objected:

"Khan, although the Northeast is a place of bitter cold, there are forests everywhere, there is no shortage of firewood, what kind of coal do you want?"

Marin smiled and said:

"I know that the development of coal is to prepare for the future..."

In the future, Marin will definitely have a steam engine-driven ship. At that time, Yidui will become a coal replenishment port for steam ships in the outer northeast, which is very important for transportation. Therefore, the development of the coal mines in Alexandrovsk is actually preparing for the age of steam.

By this, Marin ordered again:

"You send people to the northernmost area of ​​Kuyi Island, and find out where there are signs of black oil protruding from the ground. Well, I will send people to investigate when the time comes. You should establish a good relationship with the locals first, lest I send people were attacked."

In fact, what Marin really values ​​is not the coal mines in Alexandrovsk, it is just an auxiliary and transition. What he really cares about is the Oha oil field at the northernmost tip of Sakhalin Island.

The Aoha Oilfield was discovered at the end of the 19th century. At that time, there was no scientific theory of "finding water in synclines and oil in anticlines". Therefore, the oil fields discovered in the 19th century were basically places where oil seedlings were exposed to the ground. Including the Lucas well with the spindle top of the largest self-flowing well discovered in the early 20th century, it only attracted attention because the oil seedlings were exposed to the ground and emitted the smell of sulfur.

And Marin read it in that article, saying that Oha seemed to drill tens of meters deep to produce oil. For Marin, who currently lacks the technology to drill deep wells, this kind of shallow oil well is what is most needed, even if the output is not high...

Therefore, Marin decided-to develop the oil fields on Sakhalin Island...
