Speaking of sea navigation in this era, there is really no security guarantee. Sailing to sea depends on the blessing of Bodhisattvas. If it encounters a storm, it will be very hung. Over the past year, the sea storm has swallowed seven ships from the Taisong Hai Trade Company, and three ships of the troop transport ships. As for the private merchant ships sinking to the bottom of the sea, there are countless people.

The country of Ha Tang was known as advanced. A ship carried the last 200 people who survived the land sinking of Ha Tang Kingdom and returned to the Song Dynasty. As a result, it encountered a storm halfway through the journey and sank to the bottom of the sea. If it weren't for the mixed fleet of the Special Administrative Region, the only remaining elites of Ha Tang Kingdom would have long been buried at the bottom of the sea. By the way, Ha Tang Kingdom suddenly sank the bottom of the sea as a whole, and only more than 200 people survived the disaster. This is a strange thing. Of course, this matter is very confusing, but all the returnees are talking about it, and the skeptics will believe it and can only accept this statement temporarily.

Well, no matter what, it is true that they encountered a storm and shipwreck during their voyage to the Song Dynasty. It is probably because of this escape from death that a timid man created such a ship type that pursues extreme safety. Such a pursuit is a bit pathological and paranoid, but there is no doubt that it really caters to everyone's safety psychology. At least Han Tuozhou thinks that this ship type is reliable and can lose less ship cargo in the future, which is a good thing.

Zhao Han also liked it from the bottom of his heart. After all, sailing on the sea is too insecure. There will be a storm at any time. If there is such a ship, will my dignified Duke still be afraid of taking a boat? Even when I take a boat to Taipei, the dignified Duke will be worried and scared. Let’s build such a non-sinking ship as soon as possible.

In fact, Mao Geng also agreed to build several such safe-first ships, just like the future generations of people who want to equip major leaders with bulletproof cars. Of course, the emperor's grandson like Zhao Han will be the first to sail. It is still necessary to build three or four such "treasure ships". Besides, I am afraid of death. It seems that the special zone has one or two ships.

But according to Han Tuozhou's opinion, it was to use this ship to transport goods, which was too outrageous. However, Han Tuozhou also made sense. The loss of a ship in the storm and the cargo was not only calculated by economic losses. If the subordinates of Taiwan Songhai Trade regarded ocean shipping as a fear of their own, how could they lead the team?

It is of course impossible to create such a strange ship type for transportation, not to joke about it. In that case, speed and loading and unloading efficiency will inevitably be greatly sacrificed.

It is impossible not to say that in the past year, Taiwan's demand for shipping has grown too fast. Because the SAR's new products need to be continuously exported, they all require transportation tonnage, and the SAR's demand for raw materials is also very enthusiastic, such as coal produced in Halong Bay, pig iron, zinc, and manganese iron ore dug recently in Tanzhou. The transportation volume of these raw materials has been rising again and again, and the transportation volume has been rising. As a result, there are more sea boats needed.

There are also fishing catches produced in the Kasumi Island, which also require transportation capacity.

In addition, after Lao Qiu and his party arrived in the special zone, they added a new transportation business. This new business is the transportation of struvite.

When it comes to struzite, of course, the origin of Nauru is the first to be named. Nauru has the highest production capacity of struzite in the world. However, Nauru is not the only place in the world that produces struzite. In fact, there are many places in the world that produce struzite.

By the way, Rodman is an Australian, and this man is still a farmer. Australian farmers were used to using struvite as fertilizer because Nauru was once under the jurisdiction of Australia. During the more than 40 years under the jurisdiction of Australia, the struvite from Nauru Island was transferred to Australia in large quantities. In 1964, Nauru's country was independent. Its main source of economic resources was still selling struvite, and its main customer was Australia.

However, resources will always be exhausted.

Before the 1980s, Nauru exported struvita from 1 million to 1.5 million tons. Since the late 1980s, the output has decreased year by year. It dropped to about 200,000 tons in 2002, and less than 100,000 tons in 2003. In 2004, the output was only about 40,000 tons. Finally, Nauru dug all the 21 square kilometers of land, and finally there was no way to dig it - nearly 40 million tons of struvita were sold out across the country.

The problem comes. Nauru, which has always relied on resources to make a living, what should I do now? Someone has a way, and he really thought of a trick - to settle historical accounts. Nauru sued Australia in the International Court of Justice, claiming that Australia had been ruling Nauru for a lot of mining Nauru's struvite during the period of his rule, causing ecological damage and should be compensated. Then, the lawsuit also achieved results. Nauru finally reached an out-of-court settlement, and Australia agreed to compensate Nauru for 107 million Australian dollars.

Australia and Nauru have been in the lawsuit for four years. In the past four years, Australia has been looking for evidence that is, during the occupation of Taiwan, they dug three feet of the ground on all the struvite-producing islands around Taiwan and mined all the struvite-stones. But Japan picked it, and there was no Taiwan claiming compensation from Japan. Look at how high the style of Taiwan is! Compared with Nauru, it is too unconventional.

This incident was exposed to the media and the tabloids exaggerated it, so Rodman knew something. It turned out that several islands in Taiwan were also rich in struvite. Among them, the islands such as Cotton Island, Maoyu, Caoyu, Taiping Island and Dongsha Island had a considerable output.

Mao Geng had no idea about struvitae before, so he didn't know that there was such a thing in the world that could be used as fertilizer, and he didn't know that Taiwan also produces struvitae.

The production of struvita originates from seabird feces. Migratory seabirds live in large quantities on some islands. The massive amount of struvita and undigested fish bones are excreted. After a very long reaction, they eventually become struvita. Because struvita is rich in phosphorus, it is a kind of phosphorus fertilizer. After crushing, the function of fertilizing fields is really not a cover, and it can easily increase crop yield by more than 10%.

After trial in the Special Administrative Region, the effect was indeed good, and the value of struvite suddenly increased greatly. Agriculture is the foundation of this era, and naturally, struvite, such a natural fertilizer, cannot be spared, so Taiwan Songhai Trade immediately took action, organized manpower mining and capacity transportation, and was very busy for a while.

According to Taiwan, South Korea's plan, not only should the farmers here in Taiwan use struvitae, but also to Fujian, Guangdong and even more coastal areas use struvitae. The struvitae that was unwelcome in the past was upgraded and became a hot topic for the Song Dynasty to enrich the country and strengthen the people.

But unfortunately, the capacity is obviously too poor, so we have to expand the fleet.

The problem is that you can’t use the type of struvite that is safest, it’s obvious that you can’t use the type of struvite ship to transport cement and coal. The type of struvite ship is used to transport high-value goods such as silk, gold and silver, which is almost the same.

After a series of disputes, the man said it was reasonable and the man said it was righteous. The strange ship type, which was the first in safety, was passed with outstanding safety and was successfully included in Taiwan's five-year shipbuilding project. Fortunately, it did not appear in the plan as a mainstream ship type.

It took a long time to talk about shipbuilding, and then it was the turn of Taiwan's entire island development and Xiayi Island development.

A few days ago, Guo Ni, Wu Xi and Yue Ju each led a thousand troops to carry out a mobilization operation in Taiwan. The operation progress was very smooth at the beginning. The natives here were still in a semi-civilized state, and the productivity level was still at the level of slash-and-burn farming. It was a tribal system. Each tribe had at most hundreds of people. Because of the low productivity level, the population density seemed very sparse, and the indigenous people were simply a mess. Therefore, at the beginning, they were all flat and flat. The three elite troops of the Song Dynasty with artillery were simply invincible heavenly soldiers. Their soldiers were heading for the front and the resistance was very weak, which made Chen Yujie and Lu Yi even feel a little redundant in the team.

However, after entering the steep mountains and forests, the situation was different. The casualties in the Song army began to rise, and they often could not do anything to a small group of indigenous people. The indigenous people were dealing with the Song army in the mountains, which made the Song army a little tired, and the key was that they rarely gained.

Based on this situation, Chen Yujie and Lu Yijian proposed to let go of these deep mountains and ridges first. After all, there are some livestock in the deep mountains, and the number of people is very limited, and the harm can be ignored. It is better to develop plains and hills first, and then march into the deep mountains when the conditions are ripe.

Wu Xi and Guo Ni also agreed with Chen Lu's suggestion. After all, the army and small fans played hide-and-seek in the mountains, and the elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty were not doing such mountain search work.

It was recommended to report to Zhao Han, and Zhao Han felt that it was impossible to catch all the indigenous people in one go. At this point, he stopped sweeping. On the other hand, he arranged Zhao Han's agenda against Master Shen who was hiding on Luzon Island.

Zhao Han was proud and did not think that Shen could escape the pursuit of the heavenly soldiers. As for the Luzon Island adjacent to Taiwan, Zhao Han had already taken it into his pocket.

Xiayi Island is the Hokkaido. The golden tripod is developing well there, and the territory is constantly expanding. A horse farm has been officially opened there. Since the last time I bought tall and majestic Arab horses from Dashi to Xiayi Island, the horse breed improvement plan has been carried out step by step. In addition, the fishery development trend of Xiayi Island is very good. The annual output of Xiayi Island can exceed 50,000 tons. With the high income in whaling, Xiayi Island is simply a treasure land. It is rumored that Xiayi Island

The island is a wealthy island, with wealth everywhere. Although it is far away, more than 2,000 people have gone to Xiayi Island from all over the Song Dynasty. The enthusiasm for arable land in China, a long-standing farming ethnic group, is really not built. They brought seeds and reclaimed a piece of arable land on Xiayi Island. It is said that the harvest will be very good. At present, the Song people on Xiayi Island, including the dispatched personnel from Taiwan and Songhai Trade, as well as the 1,000-box army and their families transferred from the Song Dynasty, have exceeded 7,000.

Xiayi Island is currently under the jurisdiction of Taiwan. It brings wealth to Taiwan and irreplaceable raw materials, including whale oil, whale liver oil and ambergris, all of which are the treasures of this era. In short, the output on Xiayi Island alone exceeds two million yuan, and such political achievements are worth boasting about.

The problem is that the demand for manpower on Xiayi Island is almost endless. Although most of the indigenous people captured by this Taiwan mobilization operation will be transported to Xiayi Island as a coolie there, it is obvious that more than 8,000 indigenous prisoners are really a drop in the bucket compared to the manpower on Xiayi Island.

The key is that Taiwan itself has endless demand for manpower, but no matter what, it has to continue to immigrate to Xiayi Island.
