    The sun hangs high in the sky, radiating a little warmth, and the moist earthy smell evaporates in the air.

    This is a wilderness. The river called Ruifeng River turns a corner here. The riverside is covered with velvet grass. At this time, the velvet grass has begun to turn yellow. From a distance, it is a large area of ??yellow-green.  .  It is already the end of August, and even during the day, the weather is a bit cold, indicating that the cold winter will soon come.

    Several simple log houses were temporarily built on the hillside, and a fence was built around the wooden houses.  Ma Xiang and Ma Pang were lying on the crossbar of the fence at the moment. Ma Xiang's big eyes were staring straight ahead. Not far away, there was a roaring monster. Ma Xiang had already been popularized by science. Ishain didn't care about that monster.  It's called a tractor. The tractor is emitting black smoke, its wheels are turning and rolling, and it is rolling forward. Behind the tractor, balls of black soil are turned up.

    The tractor drove to the end, then turned around and drove in the opposite direction, leaving behind the same wavy black soil, ridge after ridge. From a distance, it looked very neat.

    Although Yishain and Ma Xiang patiently explained it, Ma Xiang still found it extremely magical, while Ma Pang was even more fascinated.  Ma Xiang was a little better. He had seen steam-powered ships on the sea, and he no longer associated things like gods and demons with the idea of ??generating power out of thin air. In comparison, Ma Pang was still the kind of bumpkin with no knowledge.  I saw him staring at the tractor moving almost for a moment, including the sudden roar, the smoke, and the waves of soil stirred up by the plow. Ma Pang found it extremely strange, and even his usual restless habits were strange.  After restraining himself, Ma Pang looked like a good boy at this moment. The only discordant thing was the string of snot hanging on his face.

    Muta and a few natives squatted in a field not far away. The onlookers were also staring at this rare thing. They all looked surprised. They just felt that these visitors were really amazing.  Many of the things he brought were so unbelievable. The previous divine fire was already very evil, but the monster in front of him was so fierce, had such divine power, and was so tireless. It really subverted the imagination.  Muta's eyes were a little dull, maybe he was stunned, or maybe he was thinking hard about why these visitors drove such a monster to turn the good land into a mess.

    The indigenous people here know how to do slash-and-burn farming at most, and maybe they don¡¯t even know the concept of slash-and-burn farming. They probably just throw some seeds casually and wait for the harvest.

    Of course, travelers cannot leave fertile land uncultivated like the natives. There are three rivers flowing through this large area, which is really a rare treasure.  Since the pioneering team came here, land reclamation has begun long ago, but the use of magical tools such as tractors to reclaim land is officially opened today.

    At this moment, Yishain and Bakali are in a wooden house. They are sitting by the window, and they can see the plowing in the distance with their heads to one side.  Bakeli's whole body was wrapped in silk, and she wore an improved version of the Song Dynasty silk autumn dress, which added a bit of beauty. In the past, this was something Bakeli could not even think of, but now, this outfit is only available in Europe.  Bakeli felt very happy to be wearing luxurious silk clothes that only nobles could afford.  She was also curious like a baby at the moment, looking out the window, her eyes attracted to the magical tractor, while Yishain only occasionally glanced at the plowing situation, and had to pay attention to Ma Xiang's movements from time to time.

    Liu Wenbin went sailing, leaving behind Bakali, both women. Yishain felt that she had the responsibility to let Bakali integrate into the life of a traveler as soon as possible, so she often pulled Bakali along with her.

    It had just rained a lot two days ago, and today was a rare sunny day. Taking advantage of the wet and soft soil, it was time to plow the fields. Yishain felt that she could help Ma Fen take care of farming matters. After all, farming was also very important.  Yesterday, the indigenous people who responded to Ma Fen's prize-winning activity sent more than a dozen pieces of coal. Ma Fen's eyes shone and he looked excited when he weighed the black and shiny coal.  It was obvious that there was a coal mine nearby. Ma Fen was very encouraged and led his people to follow the native to find the coal mine early this morning.

    According to the plan, the tractor would have to plow the land when the weather was fine. Since Ma Fen was going to explore the coal mine he had dreamed of, Yishain took the initiative to arrange the mechanical plowing, and she took Ba Qili along with her, so she could be regarded as a supervisor.  , anyway, it¡¯s idle time, and Yishain needs to find something to do for herself.

    The tractor driver is Niu Meng. Fan Bioyong has a lot of things to do. Of course, it is impossible for him to drive the tractor, but he gives Niu Meng a chance.  Niu Meng drove the Ku No. 1 tractor and followed a man named Wan Yuankui to start plowing the land designated by Wanjia, preparing to plow the entire land.

    Wan Yuankui was Wan Youhong's housekeeper. It should be noted that Wan Youhong left with Lu Wenjie and left the housekeeper behind. Before Wan Youhong left, he took a fancy to this piece of land near the river. Ma Fen took a look and saw this  piece of landThere are five or six miles of scenery in the center of Dongrui Town, and it is feared that it will be as much as four to five hundred acres. Without hesitation, it was directly granted to Wan Youhong.

    Two hours later, Ishain had someone measure the plowed land. In two hours, more than ten acres of land had been cultivated. Well, it was not bad. Ishain was very satisfied. At the end of the day, she had cultivated sixty acres with the help of machine plowing.  Acres of land are not a problem.  If you work overtime, you can finish cultivating this land in five or six days.

    The next day, Han Huanzhang and Long Jiu arrived, together with more than 30 ships from Lin Gui and five merchant ships from Cai Jianwen. When Ma Fen heard the news and rushed to the port, the port was already unprecedentedly lively, and the pier was packed with goods.  A mess of goods.

    Ma Fen told Meng Qi to unload the goods at the dock and arrange for the arriving personnel. Meng Qi had done this kind of thing several times and was already very familiar with it.  Lin Gui and Cai Jianwen cared about their own people and goods and stayed at the dock.  Cai Jianwen listened to Wen Yuan's words and came to Sakhalin Island to collect fur and fishery products. At the same time, he also wanted to see if there was room for big things in Sakhalin Island.  Lin Gui, a former pirate, has changed his ways in the past two years and has not been a pirate for a long time. This time he came to Sakhalin Island and engaged in another pirate business. He also robbed North Korea and captured about 400 North Koreans.  , ready for great development here.  Lin Gui has made a lot of money transporting coal from Halong Bay in the past two years. However, there have been too many cargo ships joining the coal transportation industry recently. Due to the competition to lower the price, the profits are not so huge. As a result, Long Jiu was fooled, and Lin Gui followed him to the warehouse.  Page Island, prepare to make a fortune here.

    Long Jiu and Han Huanzhang got on the four-wheeled carriage and soon arrived at Ma Fen's pioneering team command post.

    Ma Fen picked up a piece of dark coal from the basket and told the two of them with a gesture of sharing his joy that he had found the coal mine, not far from Dongrui Town, less than twenty miles away.

    "Dongrui Town? Who came up with this name? Why did you come up with this name? It sounds a bit awkward." Han Huanzhang didn't think it was a big deal to discover coal mines. It is said that there are coal mines all over Sakhalin Island, but this is the name of Dongrui Town.  A bit of a mouthful.

    Ma Fen was unhappy and immediately protested:

    "I named it myself, what's the matter! Liu Wenbin also thinks this name is good. Aren't we going to build this place into Eastern Switzerland! Eastern Switzerland, or 'Dongrui' for short, is almost in the city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk in later generations, damn it!  Maozi¡¯s place names are awkward to pronounce. Maozi is called Southern Sakhalin, and the Japanese call it Fengyuan City. It should be this area. Let¡¯s call it ¡®Dongrui¡¯. How about, at least add the word auspicious, auspicious! Haha!¡±

    Han Huanzhang didn't know about the idea of ??building Eastern Switzerland in advance, but Long Jiu knew about it. After Han Huanzhang handed over the Kra Isthmus rail transit matter to Haddock, he set off for Sakhalin Island. When he arrived at Jeju Island, he waited until Long Jiu arrived.  , came with the fleet. Along the way, Han Huanzhang was talking to Long Jiu about the plan to build Sakhalin Island into the Pearl of the Orient. Long Jiu knew that this man was a typical paranoid, and it was best not to rebel against him when the two of them were together.  , so Long Jiu simply acted as a qualified listener and did not make any comments about Han's Cowhide.

    At this moment, Han Huanzhang was a little confused. When he heard that he was going to build an Eastern Switzerland, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes. However, he was a little scared when facing Ma Fen. He opened his mouth and closed it again.

    It makes sense for travelers to want to build Sakhalin into the Switzerland of the East.

    It is said that Sakhalin Island has an area of ??nearly 80,000 square kilometers, while Switzerland only has an area of ??40,000 square kilometers. In terms of area, Sakhalin Island is almost twice that of Switzerland. In terms of resources, Sakhalin Island seems to be better than Switzerland.  All modern people know the core competitiveness of Switzerland. The first is precision manufacturing, such as the world-famous watch industry. Most of the corrupt officials in later generations will wear Swiss luxury watches. The second is the banking industry. Swiss banking is an international brand.  The first choice for money laundering, even Saddam Hussein wanted to deposit money in UBS.

    After some research, Mao Geng and other time-travelers decided that the future Sakhalin Island would be built according to the Swiss approach.  In addition, Switzerland has the famous Alps, which are the world's snowy tourism mecca. In terms of snowy resources, Sakhalin is no worse than the Alps, so traveling is also worth looking forward to.

    Long Jiu couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Ma Fen was really straightforward.

    "That's a good name! Captain Ma did a good job here!" Long Jiu saw buildings being constructed one after another, and even coal mines were found. Ma Fen's achievements should not be underestimated.

    "Where is it! Just built a few houses and cultivated hundreds of acres of land, but there is really nothing to boast about. From now on, it will be up to you. We are still far from building the Switzerland of the East!" Humility is still modest, in  Ma Fen still felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.  Ma Fen then remembered the tractor plowing and praised: "The tractor that Mao Geng sent is really not built. One tractor can cultivate fifty or sixty acres of land in one day. Next time, ask Mao Geng to transport ten more tractors."  It¡¯s impossible to arrange eight or two tractors, which is embarrassing to say.¡±

    Long Jiu smiled and said:"Just be satisfied! Chief Mao spent a lot of money this time. There are a lot of materials transported this time. It seems that there should be two tractors among them. But I heard that the best thing to use in winter here is not vehicles, but vehicles.  It¡¯s a reindeer, right?¡±

    ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ll take you to see the reindeer.¡±

    When Long Jiu saw the reindeer, he was a little surprised. This thing had two antlers full of branches. There were small branches growing on the big branches. There were so many branches that it was a bit superfluous.  The reindeer is not tall and is not as eye-catching as the giraffe, but I didn't expect the reindeer to be very strong. Han Huanzhang tried to twist the reindeer's antlers, which looked a bit complicated, but the reindeer struggled to break free and was almost injured.

    ¡°I believe it, this reindeer can pull a cart, oh, no, it can pull a sleigh.¡± Han Huanzhang had only seen the scene of reindeer pulling a sleigh in the snow on TV, but now he was looking forward to the time of riding a reindeer sleigh.

    ¡°I¡¯m telling you, reindeer raising is the most promising local business. I plan to raise reindeer on a large scale here. The long-term plan is to raise at least tens of thousands of them.¡±

    Han Huanzhang laughed and thought it was funny.

    But Long Jiu frowned and said:

    "Captain Ma, I'm afraid you won't have time to think about raising reindeer soon. According to the plan we discussed in Kaohsiung, your brother will have to lead the expedition again."

    "Oh, I know. I have a plan here. As soon as you arrive, I will go out and lead a team of troops to capture Kholmsk, which is what the Japanese call Moka Port. It is the only place on Sakhalin Island.  Of course we can¡¯t let go of the ice-free port. You don¡¯t need to remind us about this.¡± Ma Fen felt that he wanted to thank later generations for their patriotic education. Patriotic education told us that Mao Zi had two ice-free ports in the Far East, one was Vladivostok and the other  Even Holmsk is robbing China.  Of course, this so-called ice-free port means that the inside of the port does not freeze. The outside of the port will still freeze during severe cold weather, but the ice layer is not thick, and ordinary icebreakers can sail smoothly.

    At this time, Ma Fen looked completely knowledgeable and looked very in need of a beating.

    But Long Jiu shook his head and said to himself that this is not what we are talking about.

    Next, Long Jiu talked about the Sado Island plan. In the plan, Ma Fen's role is to find a way to capture Sado Island, of course, by outsmarting it, and then he can slowly talk with the Japanese government and opposition parties.

    When Ma Fen heard this, he was surprised at first, but after pondering for a while, he turned to anger, and then roared:

    "Bullshit! This is nonsense! Whose idea was this? No! You can't do this! I'll beat up whoever wants to do this."
