The thick fog from the morning is slowly dissipating, and the sun shines on the earth through the mist. Looking up, the sun in the mist is a bit hazy, and the sun brings a hint of soft warmth. Unlike the scene where the Isthmus of Kra isthmus is often the scorching sun. It is rare to see sunlight here, rainy days, cloudy days and foggy days.

At this moment, Ma Fen, Yishayin and Liu Wenbin were sitting on the rooftop on the second floor of the wooden house, chatting one by one.

This wooden house is built on a hillside, surrounded by barbed wire, with open and hidden whistles and a wide area on the front, and now it has become a military camp. Then there is a quiet river. The trees are lush and the grass is green. There are natural scenery in the eyes. There are no traces of farming. It is a real original ecological place. However, with the arrival of Ma Fen and his people, the tranquility here is broken.

It was August, and it was the hot season in the Kra Isthmus, but it was already very cold. Today was pretty good. The thick fog dissipated a little earlier than the previous two days. It was rainy and foggy, and there was almost no clear sky. However, you have to admit that the mountains and rivers are beautiful here. If you didn’t consider the coming winter, it would be very cold. The three travelers couldn’t help but be intoxicated by the beauty of nature here. For example, under the warm sun, you are lazy and do nothing. You can sit and watch the clouds rise. This is also a good day.

This is Sakhalin Island. Ma Fen and the others successfully boarded the island. When they landed on the island, Ma Fen was still facing a great enemy, but what they didn't expect was that the landing operation was like a spring trip, and it was just a group of animals that were scared away. Perhaps someone in the forest was paying attention, but Ma Fen released the observation post from afar and found no trace of the indigenous people. The indigenous people ignored it and let the group of strangers step onto the land one by one without any action.

It was not until two days after the pioneering team led by Ma Fen landed that the natives carefully tried to contact the new visitors, a white-haired old man surrounded by animal skins. When Meng Qi, under Ma Fen, gave the old man some small gifts friendly, the natives in groups of three to three began to exchange items. In addition to the animal skins, the natives also had gold, and they exchanged them with fine salt, candy, biscuits and cloth iron pots. Later, more and more natives came to exchange goods for goods, so there was an agreed urban area.

Hushi District is at the east end of the camp. For safety reasons, chest-length fences were built there. People who came to trade outside the fence and traded between the fences, at least it would be safer. However, so far, no conflicts of force have occurred.

Think about it, the territory here is large enough. The indigenous people who live by fishing and hunting are still in the primitive tribal stage and do not have a strict concept of territory. The only crop here is buckwheat, which cannot be determined whether it is a wild or a seed that the indigenous people are actively sowing. Ma Fen and his people ran a few dozen miles apart and found that buckwheat is like wild grass, and there are not many in total. The buckwheat that can be harvested looks very limited. Just relying on fishing and hunting and poor buckwheat, a large area of ​​land is difficult to support a few people. In addition, in the severe cold of winter, only a few people can survive under such harsh conditions. Before Ma Fen and his friends came here, the island must be sparsely populated. I am afraid that a huge island would have 10,000 indigenous people would be good.

The natives who first came to exchange items have learned to eat pasta. They exchanged fur for flour from the pioneer team, and then learned to make various types of pasta cakes. When eating, they ate meat and bread with the other hand. Some natives also learned to eat rice. The most reserved rice in the pioneer team is rice. Meng Qi and the others have been luring the natives to fall in love with rice. According to Ma Fen and Liu Wenbin's estimate, if the natives can exchange enough rice from the pioneer team, they will not worry about the food in winter. If they solve the problem of eating, they will not be a problem of peaceful coexistence.

The natives were not invasive at all. The natives who deal with beasts all day long were of course very fierce, but the pioneer team had bright steel knives, excellent bows and arrows, and divine fire that the natives could not understand - that is, meteor bombs. According to the experience in the Isthmus of Kra, as long as the meteor bombs were sacrificed, the natives were immediately frightened and regarded Ma Fen's team as gods. It was almost the same here. As soon as the pioneer team got ashore, they tried to fire the meteor bombs several times. It was estimated that the natives were suppressed. Anyway, the natives showed a rare attribute of peace in front of the pioneer team. On Sakhalin Island in the twelfth century, a very harmonious and peaceful coexistence was staged.

Ma Fen felt that this is why our great dynasty was going to make a nuclear bomb even if we were selling the blame. With nuclear deterrence as a backing, whether it was the US or the Russians, even if we hated you to the core, we would have to talk about civilization with you in a fake way. I believe that for the natives of Sakhalin Island, meteor bombs are at the level of space-time nuclear bombs, and seeking profit and avoiding harm is human nature. Therefore, the natives of Sakhalin Island had to consciously improve their civilized quality and build a harmonious society with the pioneer team.

In the process of building harmony together, the most funny thing was that Ma Xiang recognized an indigenous younger brother.

The first intimate contact between the natives and the pioneer team was started by the old native man. The old native man has a title similar to "Muta". When the old man Muta came to exchange furs again, he brought a strong boy. The boy was less than ten years old and was very restless. Muta was busy trading. If he didn't pay attention, the boy climbed over the fence and then met Ma Xiang who was watching the fun behind the fence. I don't know how many candy biscuits Ma Xiang used as bargaining chips. Anyway, the little boy and Ma Xiang are now as close as siblings. Ma Xiang even named the boy "Ma Pang". Whenever the two were together, as long as Ma Xiang issued the syllable "Ma Pang", Ma Pang knew that there was something delicious waiting.

"Look, Ma Pang is here again. What a cute two little guys! One is white and one is black, one is fat and the other is thin. Look at how excited they are to play!" Isayin's Chinese is a little out of tune, but it is already very good. Ma Fen thought to himself, "You girl, you can't use Chinese idioms, you are called childhood sweethearts, and you have no guesses."

Ma Fen couldn't help but smile when he thought of this festival. Isa Yin glanced at Ma Fen and felt a hint of tenderness in Ma Fen's eyes.

Liu Wenbin thought about it and said:

"Actually, this place is really like a paradise, natural and harmonious, and there will be no one to compete for it for the time being. It is a little colder in winter, but it can be skied, covered with snow, and it is quite beautiful. There are also mountain delicacies and game, salmon, these are all delicious food. If you want to eat it, you won't even be afraid of bear's paw! It's so good here, I'll enjoy it when I retire."

Ma Fen smiled and said:

"Haha, your long-distance adventure is just the beginning, so I started talking about retirement. Let me tell you, you will retire at least thirty years later. Do you know what this place will become?"

"What? Isn't it the rear of our time travelers? Is it the Song Dynasty court still going to ask us for such a broken island with volcanoes and earthquakes? The Nanyang area is much better than this, even Northwest Lisia is better than this. The Song Dynasty can make a fuss in South Ocean and Northwest Lisia, so don't make the idea of ​​Sakhalin Island. This Sakhalin Island is regarded as our time travelers' private land. We time travelers do not compete with the Zhao family, but also help him build a large area of ​​land. After conquering the country, they retreated bravely and returned to operate the private land. We are heroes, and it is okay for meritorious officials to have a private land!"

"Private land, yes! The statement of private land is good, I agree. But Wenbin, is the 80,000 square kilometers of private land a little bigger?"

Isain seemed to understand the word "limited land" and looked at Ma Fen with some confusion.

Ma Fen then explained what private land is. Let me tell you that private land is the product of the "people's commune" in the later Celestial Empire. What? You don't understand the "people's commune". Well, I explain to you, the meaning of the people's commune is that all the fields and soil belong to the commune - the commune, and even once ate the big pot of the commune canteen. At that time, the only thing left for farmers was to grow vegetables is called private land.

Isain finally understood, so she stuck out her tongue and said:

"Didn't you say you won't rebel?"

Ma Fen laughed:

"If you don't rebel, of course you won't rebel! Don't worry, just talk about it. At that time, the name of a special zone is also listed here in Sakhalin Island, just like Hong Kong in later generations, ngkng. The country only garrisons, regardless of the specific matters, do you understand?"

"You mean, then, this place is like ngkng in later generations, and we will manage it ourselves?" Isain understood a little.

"Yes, that's it! Dear Isayin, beautiful girls, there are always ways. We Chinese know how to adapt best." Liu Wenbin felt that Isayin in her cuteness had too many things she didn't understand, and belonged to the cute clan. One problem after another, so let's stop it, otherwise it would be endless.

Isain nodded. It seems like this is the case with Chinese people. They can think of ideas that others can't think of. As a flight attendant, Isain has experienced the excellence of Chinese people on the plane.

As time went by, after the pioneer team built the camp, they began to further expand the territory. According to the plan of Ma Fen and Liu Wenbin, in addition to the construction of wharfs and basic roads, the planned industrial zone also began to be built.

In August this month, the travelers organized two transportations, transporting a large amount of material to Sakhalin Island, including cement and grain, and brought more than 500 mixed laborers from many countries from the Isthmus of Kra.

Liu Wenbin is training his subordinates and crafting an expedition fleet, and has begun trial flights to the Kuril Islands.

While supervising the work, Ma Fen was also offering a reward to the indigenous people, hoping that the indigenous people would provide information about coal. Anyway, according to Ma Fen's intention, as long as he found a place with black stones, he would get ten bags of rice, a bag of fine salt, a bag of candy, and five sets of silk-faced cotton coats. This was a huge fortune for the indigenous people.

Note: Chekhov's "Travels of Sakhalin" records that in 1858, the total number of Sakhalin Kiriaks (indigenous people of Sakhalin Island) was 3,270. About fifteen years later... the number of Sakhalin Kiriaks was estimated to be less than 1,500. According to the latest 1887 materials, there are only 320 Kiriaks in the two districts in total. (The Russians call Sakhalin Island Sakhalin Island)?
