Chapter 2825: Nanyang Surname

However, Luo Fangbo and Chen Lanbo, who founded the Lanfang Republic, have not yet come to Borneo. Chen Lanbo's background is no longer reliable, and Luo Fangbo should still be studying in Shishan Town, Jiaying Prefecture, Guangdong.

Luo Fangbo practiced boxing and reading while working since he was a child, and he developed a good martial arts. At the same time, his studies were quite good. Working as a poor teacher in his hometown, until he was thirty-four years old, there was an upsurge in the local area to go abroad to open up Jinshan. All fellow villagers took a boat from Humen, Guangzhou to Pontianak, the "Golden Mountain" in 1772.

Although Luo Fangbo did not come now, there are quite a few Chinese people living in Borneo. The most lacking thing for Shen Long to develop his career now is the population. They met a large number of Chinese people living in Nanyang.

They either had to go to Nanyang to find a way out because of their poor family circumstances, or they were forced to live in Nanyang because of the influence of the Tiandihui and other parties like Luo Fangbo’s partner and the founding king of the Dai Yan Kingdom Wu Yuansheng in the future. That kind of people, their loyalty to Man Qing is almost non-existent, these people are definitely natural human resources suitable for Shen Long.

It’s just that people live overseas, life is not easy, coupled with the harassment of the natives, the lives of these people are very difficult. After Shen Long stopped the ship and docked, he found that the local people lacked food and clothing, and were tortured by various diseases, so they could barely survive. , Most of them are bound by clan or fellow countrymen, and they are completely scattered. Without powerful people like Luo Fangbo and Wu Yuansheng to unite them, they will have no way to fight against the local aborigines.

At that time, Luo Fangbo gradually established his prestige by teaching and literacy in the local area, adjusting conflicts, and then through mining gold mines, the life of these Nanyang Chinese improved day by day, and he gained supreme prestige by quelling bandits. Director Datang, this series of methods may seem simple, but when you think about it carefully, they have a lot of meaning.

Reading and literacy can make these loose forces that usually gather with clans and fellow villagers realize that they are all Chinese, belong to the same race, and are different from the local aborigines, and can unite more people; and gold mines can allow them to obtain economic benefits , and strengthen cohesion in the cooperative production of gold mining; the final fight against bandits proved Luo Fangbo's force, money, people, and force are all available, so it is a matter of course for him to be superior.

When Shen Long landed from Sanfa, the local people were still in a panic, thinking that pirates were coming. Although they didn't know what to grab in this poor place, they still started to run away habitually, but when they saw Shen Long and the others They didn't disembark with weapons, but took out food to trade with them, and they came back slowly.

Shen Long exchanged grain for the sporadic gold mines they found. Because he valued reputation and honesty when doing business, he quickly won the favor of the local people, and then sold them various mining tools so that they could be better. Efficiently mine gold, slowly increasing the size of the transaction.

The local port has gradually become prosperous, but this has also aroused the coveting of the local kings and bandits. The local people can't help but panic when they find all kinds of signs. The king has always been cruel, if he was killed by them, he would be dead, what should he do now?

Soon someone thought of Shen Long, didn't he have a big boat? There are many guns on board, and he is a kind person, even if those bandits and local kings are driven away, he will not embarrass himself, right?

So these people sent representatives to find Shen Long for help, Shen Long smiled and said, "It's easy to drive away these bandits and local kings,

But my boat won't stay here forever, if they come over when I'm not around next time, what will you do? "

"Uh, this..." Several representatives looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then asked in a low voice, "I wonder if the king can sell us some guns, so we won't be afraid of those natives and bandits if we have guns! "

"The price of guns is not low. You can sell a few of them at most right now. It won't work if you don't have less of them!" Although Shen Long gave them new mining tools, the scale of production had just expanded, and they paid back the purchase price for these tools. Not enough, let alone mass purchases of guns.

"Besides, guns can't be used just by buying them. If no one teaches you, you can't learn them! The method of killing on the battlefield is used here, and it's not enough to just throw guns around!" Shen Long continued.

"In this case, the king is not willing to help us!" The representatives showed dejected expressions, "then we will have a dead end!" When a guest died in a foreign land without a complete body, these people felt sad and couldn't help crying.

"They are all sons and daughters of China, and they should be tied together overseas. Why would I not want to help you, but how to help you, and in what name, we still need to discuss it!" Shen Long said.

Those who are so smart immediately understood Shen Long's meaning, yes, he was just here to do business with us, why should he help us for nothing? So what does he get from us poor bastards?

"I think it will take some time for those local kings and bandits to come over, why don't you go and see what's going on at my place!" Shen Long didn't force them to agree immediately, and chose a few representatives to come to Treasure Island with him After taking a look, these people were immediately tempted to see the happy life of the criss-crossing fields and houses on the island. We went to Nanyang through all kinds of hardships. Isn’t this what life is like?

There are vicious enemies outside, but there is such a happy life in front of you. Isn't it easy to choose which one to choose? So after returning to Borneo, these people spread the happy life on Treasure Island, and the local Chinese finally found support, and they came to Shen Long one after another to express their loyalty and willingness to submit to Shen Long.

Shen Long accepted their request, brought the local area under his rule, brought them enough food, more mining tools, and sent people to guide them in reclaiming land and planting good seeds, building houses and cities, and teaching them to read. Literacy helps them mine gold in a more scientific way.

As for those bandits and local kings, they were completely resolved with only a few rounds of volleys, and Shen Long's name was thus established in Nanyang.
