- Chaling in the Persian Gulf.
The Li family has occupied this place for almost half a month. The entire relocated Li family, from Li Zhaofan and Li Zhaochun to the ordinary Li family members, are very busy.
Build ports and wharves that can berth ships, build a place to live, explore the geography of Chaling, and find out everything here so that you can carry out colonial activities.
"Brother, the original local tribes have expressed their willingness to submit to our Li family, but these Arabs must be dissatisfied. It is not easy to make them truly surrender to our Li family."
"We suddenly occupied this place by force and killed many of their people. They must have a grudge against us."
"And they regard us as heretics and are cursing us to go to hell. There will definitely be many troubles in the future."
Li Zhaochun came to Li Zhaofan's room and drank some water. He felt very comfortable.
The weather here is hot and fresh water is very scarce. It is absolutely comfortable to have a sip of sweet fresh water.
"It doesn't matter if we hold grudges. As long as we have swords in our hands, I don't believe there are people who are not afraid of death."
"Now we still need to use them to help us build ports and cities. When we stabilize, a large number of immigrants will come from our Ming Dynasty. Then we will find a way to sweep them out."
Li Zhaofan smiled and didn't care about these things.
There are not many locals here. There are less than 30,000 locals on the entire peninsula. They are also divided into different tribes. They used to be enemies of each other and competed for pearl fishing, arable land, and fresh water resources. Kill each other.
Li Zhaofan didn¡¯t take them seriously at all. What he really cared about was the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire.
The Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire are the behemoths in this place that can really threaten the Li family Chaling Mausoleum. Of course, behind the Li family is the Ming Empire. If they attack the Li family, they have to consider whether they will suffer retaliation from the Ming Empire.
"What do the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire say?"
ãá reduce .com ãá. Thinking of this, Li Zhaofan also asked.
¡°Neither the Ottoman Empire nor the Persian Empire has made any statements yet, but they have always not cared about the place we occupy, and they will probably acquiesce in our colonial activities here.¡±
Li Zhaochun replied.
"They don't dare to do anything to us either."
Li Zhaofan nodded slightly and said confidently.
The powerful deterrent power of the Ming Empire is no joke.
The Persian Gulf is not far from Nanyun Province and Hezhong Province of the Ming Empire. The Ming Empire has troops stationed here. If necessary, the Ming Empire¡¯s army can fight all the way to the Persian Gulf at any time.
In the Red Sea to the south, the Ming Empire also has a Red Navy. The warships of the Red Navy not only patrol the Red Sea, but also patrol the Persian Gulf from time to time, and they can also provide support.
In addition, in the Aegean Sea of ??the Mediterranean, the Ming Empire also has colonies and a Mediterranean fleet stationed there, which can be fought all the way from the west.
牺如 xindingdianxsw.com 牺ࣳ 4&# 12290 To the east, the entire Tianzhu was divided up by the vassal states and colonies of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Li family spoke, they would be happy to help.
This is the reason why Li Zhaofan was confident, because he had a powerful Ming Empire behind him. Therefore, as soon as he occupied this place, he immediately sent people to notify the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire, announcing to them the Li family's colony here.
"I have basically figured out the situation here."
"There isn't much arable land here, but there is enough arable land for our Li family to live. We don't have to worry about food, and we can also buy it from Tianzhu."
"The only thing we need to worry about is fresh water. There is really too little water here. There are 20,000 of us here, and the population will definitely continue to grow in the future. If the water problem is not solved, it will be difficult for us to develop. "
Li Zhaochun took the map and began to talk in detail.
"According to what we have obtained from the locals, fresh water is mainly obtained from springs in the oasis, and the amount is very limited. In addition, they also obtain fresh water from the sea."
"Sea water gets fresh water?"
Li Zhao??As soon as he heard it, he asked in surprise.
"Yes, it does get fresh water from the sea."
¡°There is a very peculiar phenomenon in the Persian Gulf, which is the phenomenon of sea within a sea. The seawater from the Arabian Sea wraps up a large amount of fresh water emerging from the bottom of the Persian Gulf. The local people can get some fresh water from the sea by taking boats and using bamboo poles. "
¡°If I hadn¡¯t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn¡¯t have believed it.¡±
Li Zhaochun nodded and said: "It is precisely because of the intersection of salt and fresh water that the pearls, corals, and fishery resources here are very rich."
"As for pearls, there are a large number of natural mother oysters in Chaling and the surrounding islands and reefs. There are several types. The quality of the pearls produced is very high. There are two collecting seasons every year. In the future, we will If the Li family wants to gain profits from the colony, the pearl mining industry must be monopolized in our hands."
"In this way, we can rely on our monopoly advantage to control quantity, raise prices, and obtain more generous profits, just like Nanyang United Trading Company and the Zhang Brothers."
Li Zhaofan listened carefully. Now the Li family is extremely poor and owes a lot of debt. They urgently need resources that can bring a steady stream of wealth to the Li family.
Pearls seem to be the only thing here that can hope to bring wealth to the Li family.
"However, the scale of pearl collecting here is limited, and the quantity collected each time is not large. Moreover, pearl collecting is also very dangerous. Someone will die due to pearl fishing every pearl fishing season."
"Our Li family wants to monopolize the pearl trade here. On the one hand, we want to control the source. Next, we want to annex the Bahrain Islands to the west and monopolize all pearl sources."

"The second aspect is to find ways to increase the production of pearls. It is best to try to see if artificial cultivation can be carried out. The price of natural pearls is high, but the output is too small, not much in a year."
Li Zhaochun shook his head as he spoke.
Even if there are resources like pearls, the output is too low, and it is still difficult for the Li family to satisfy their huge appetite.
¡°Let¡¯s try to breed it artificially first.¡±
Li Zhaofan nodded slightly. To be honest, he didn¡¯t really expect this pearl. The output was too low, and there were many pearl-producing places around the world.
Nanyang, Japan, Australia, and Ceylon Island all have natural pearl production. In addition, Hepu County in Guangxi Province during the Ming Dynasty has a long history of pearl cultivation.
Before the Ming Dynasty did not have large-scale overseas colonization, pearls were still relatively valuable. At that time, whether they were princes, nobles, wealthy gentry, or landowners(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
