America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Fish frying is indeed too profitable in this day and age.

As one marine fishing company after another was established in Vladivostok, the port city of Vladivostok also developed and grew rapidly.

Vladivostok, which originally had only a few thousand people, quickly amassed hundreds of thousands.

Fortunately, a portion of the fishing catch could be used to buy food, which would solve the problem of feeding everyone.

However, the food problem in the Far East was also exposed.

In this situation, the general convened all his subordinates and came up with a new decision.

They contacted merchants to buy land and establish farms.

It's a pity that the general's method seems good, but it's already August or September, and no one can clear land in the Far East during that time.

After all, even if the land is cleared now, it's impossible to plant anything there anymore.

In order to gather more refugees and people in a short period of time

So he consulted with his generals and allowed merchants to establish logging camps, mines, and other processing plants for wild game and mountain products in the Far East.

As a result, many more merchants came to cooperate with the general, handing over 10% of their forest mining profits to him. In return, the general gave them the green light, allowing them to choose their own forests and explore the mineral veins themselves.

By the time winter was approaching, the number of Han Chinese in Vladivostok was already close to one million.

However, it did not stop even at this point.

As the general relented, Li Changsheng's clones were all deployed to the Far East.

In a month, they created more than 100 clones, each of whom either established a fishing company or a logging camp, and planned to turn the logging camp into a farm next year.

Some who discovered mineral deposits became mine owners.

As a large influx of people arrived, the clones, after making money, built shops in Vladivostok and the surrounding areas where they owned forest farms and mines.

Seeing that the Far East was becoming prosperous, the general called his family members over one by one.

They also began to divide up the interests of the Far East, along with Li Changsheng's clones.

Meanwhile, the other officers were not idle either.

They also called upon their family members who could be summoned, asking them to help develop the Far East, and the soldiers did the same.

Even opening a small shop can make them a fortune.

Victor acted as the agent for the explosives business in the Far East, and during this period he made a lot of money just by selling explosives and detonators.

Whether it's fishing with explosives or mining, detonators and explosives are needed.

Even Far Eastern generals became Victor's clients.

Victor successfully transitioned into an arms dealer.

In order to produce weapons, he also specifically purchased rifle production lines and bullet production lines.

At the same time, he also made grenades using explosives, but he did not take them out.

If the general is willing to continue cooperating like this, then of course it's a win-win situation for everyone.

This gives us time to develop and gradually build up our strength.

But if the general is unwilling to cooperate, it doesn't matter, since Li Changsheng already has more than a dozen clones infiltrated the navy and army.

Because they were willing to spend money and become the general's front men, setting up companies and mines for the general, their positions rose rapidly.

It can be said that these dozen or so men who infiltrated the navy and army have become the general's trusted followers.

If the general really doesn't cooperate, you can get rid of him and let your clone take over.

However, Li Changsheng was not in a hurry.

Apart from giving a portion to his family, the rest of the general's assets were all in the hands of Li Changsheng's clones.

After all, a general can't put all his eggs in one cage.

and so.

Using Li Changsheng's clones, the general not only made money in the Far East but also began investing the profits in other places.

This included the concessions of the Qing Dynasty.

According to the general's plan, the business would then be expanded to Europe and America.

And those in charge of these industries are all Li Changsheng's clones.

Therefore, Li Changsheng could keep all of the general's affairs under his control at any time.

The general seemed to have grasped some things, but he didn't know that Li Changsheng had already taken control of everything.

Give him some more time, and Li Changsheng will be able to take control of the Far East's navy and army.

Of course, things haven't been without incident in these past few months.

The Chinese people recruited by Li Changsheng's clones were quite well-treated, as they were all arranged by Li Changsheng's clones.

They may be a bit busy and tired, but they eat well, dress well, and can live a good life.

But other merchants and the families of soldiers and officers, naturally, also needed to recruit people from China if they wanted to make money.

However, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, they would always contact the Qing Dynasty Immigration Bureau when recruiting people in China.

So Li Changsheng had his clones assign some troublemakers, problem people, and other problematic individuals to these people.

These people were not good people to begin with, and naturally they became unruly when they were under the command of these merchants and soldiers.

These soldiers and merchants completely disregarded the civilians who had been relocated.

They eat poorly, dress poorly, and still have to work hard every day.

So a number of problems arose not long afterward.

Some fishing boats were sunk by bombs after setting sail due to riots by soldiers, with the crew barely surviving.

Some mines experienced riots, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries on both sides.

Some people, unable to bear the oppression, simply killed the merchants and became bandits.

Faced with this situation, Bickley went directly to the general.

"The Far East needs a plan to develop."

"First of all, General, if you want to establish a foothold in the Far East, you must make the people who come here grateful to you."

"If they still can't live a good life when they get to your territory, then they won't support you."

"At the same time, bandits in the Far East must be banned, otherwise others will follow suit in the future."

"Then it will be very difficult for the Far East to develop."

"The general can take this opportunity to establish a Han Chinese army."

"This army doesn't need to be very powerful, but they need to be able to suppress bandits."

"At the same time, safeguard the security of newly established villages and towns surrounding Vladivostok."

"Of course, if this army were to be maintained entirely by the general and the taxes from the Far East, it would be a considerable drain on resources."

"To reduce consumption, this Han Chinese army can be divided into numerous small squads. These squads can go up the mountain to hunt, and the prey they obtain can improve their lives."

"In history, the general did not spend much money, yet he was able to eliminate bandits and even have his own new army."

"If unforeseen circumstances arise in the future, it will provide more security."

The Far East General did not agree immediately this time.

After such a long time, he had come to his senses.

Although his subordinates were right, his family was now growing rapidly.

But he always felt that the Far East was becoming increasingly out of his control.

In less than half a year, the number of people has exceeded one million. If this continues, will the Far East belong to the Russian bear or to Russia itself?

Seeing the Far East General's hesitation, the clone Bickley knew that now, a drastic measure had to be taken.
