Walking on the hardened road from the dock to the Youth City, Zhang Tiejun said: "That's because some things are more important than bricks. For example, water tanks..."

Zhang Tiejun talked little by little about the development history of the Eighty Days Youth City that left Lushan.

After Lushan left, there was no need for so many laborers, so we started to build the Youth City, which was of course also the home of these immigrants, and they were scheduled to work for three years. There was a lot of wood for building the house, but there was no cement or asphalt for paving the road at all. Finally, it was decided that the Youth City would first use the hardened pavement of loess and white stones - the hardened pavement of this structure can be directly paved on it after it was hardened.

The houses were built one by one. However, the living facilities were still far from each other. You should know that this is Australia in the Stone Age, and the indigenous tribes were almost poor and had nothing. It was not a solution to always pick up river water, and it was not hygienic. Therefore, the construction team used a very precious section of plastic pipes that were hundreds of meters long taken from the Lushan River to build a water tower and a fountain leading to the city center.

This fountain is not for viewing the scenery, but for the water intake of Youth City. Now the travelers are not able to use tap water for every house. Whether it is water pipes or faucets, it is a problem. The construction of the water tower has already used a lot of modern materials.

The excess water gushed out of the fountain formed a gentle artificial stream leading from the city to the seaside, where housewives were washing clothes.

Due to the shortage of supplies - such as kitchen knives, iron pots and water basins, the entire Youth City is still eating big pots. This time, Lushan has brought a lot of such daily necessities. Last time, I didn’t bring them, but it was not enough for each household to divide them. However, the total amount of this kind of ironware is also out of stock in many places in the state of extremely low productivity in feudal society.

These are still something that can be purchased and carried, and water tanks cannot be purchased. This takes up too much space. So after the adobe brick kiln was built with fire several times to harden its structure, the first furnace started to burn the pottery water tank and pottery water basin. It should be noted that according to archaeologists' discoveries, ceramic products appeared at least 10,000 years ago, and some of them were more advanced painted pottery products burned than those in the Australian Youth City.

But even though you know you have to burn it, otherwise it will be useless. Each household must have two pottery basins and one pottery jar. And in the future, everyone wants to use ceramic products instead of sewer systems in Youth City. This is quite convenient. As for cement, don’t think about it in a short period of time. Although you have read a few YY novels back to the past and started boiling cement and glass-floating technology trees within one or two years, but due to insufficient labor, the construction of this cement factory and glass factory is still in line.

It will never be earlier than coking plants and steel plants, nor will it be earlier than gunpowder plants or weapon plants, or even earlier than salt drying plants. Everyone has long had an objection to the black salt bought from the Ming Dynasty. This black salt is not private salt, but a lot of sand mixed with official salt. The color of the official salt is black compared with the fine salt of Lushan. It is not about the difference in quality, but the price is very expensive. When the salt drying plant is built, it will definitely be used in Australia in the early stage. In the later stage, if it becomes bigger, it will naturally impact the official salt market of the Ming Dynasty.

We must first meet social needs and safety before talking about other things. These immigrants are not NPCs in the game. If you reward some money, you will be full of loyalty. Besides, Australia is still eating big pots, and there is no market for them to be formed. They can’t buy things with silver for the time being. They all adopt a rationing system.

Take this salt drying field that is about to start construction. It should have been a salt drying pond laid with a water truck and cement. But there is no cement at present, but there is a way to replace it, that is, use stones. The Mayans in South America once dug a large piece of salt drying field near a salt spring. It is said that it has a history of thousands of years. After the salt field is dug, you can get a large amount of salt without any manpower.

Among the first batch of immigrants from the Lushan number, a stonemason in later generations, were selected to build a salt field on a stone ground by the sea. In order to speed up the progress, their nephews were also selected to be their apprentices.

But even if we use steel hammers and steel brazers, the progress this month is far from keeping up with the progress of the mechanization era. In this regard, Zhang Tiejun said that we will be able to eat our own salt in a few months. As for the black salt of the Ming Dynasty, it was not so easy before the emergence of cement.

There is naturally no electricity at night in Youth City, and most people don’t use luxury goods such as candles or oil lamps. Today, Youth City still maintains the tradition of working at sunset and sunrise. Except for a few departments, rainy weather is holidays.

The *-grade materials Zhang Tiejun asked about were copper. For the current Youth City, there are too many things that copper can do. Water pipes can be made into copper, and some tools can also be made into copper, and they can melt at a less high temperature. Before the coking plant is coking, the Youth City must first transition to the Bronze Age.

After the Lushan No. 2, the military team that occupied two crucibles was immediately called to make guns and cannons, but instead processed a batch of steel tools for the Youth City, including steel plows, steel shovels, steel forks, steel hoes, and kitchen knives. The people in the agricultural team didn't think it was like that before, and they used this heavy and thankless iron guy to clean up the land to know how hard the farmers were. In the 1960s, those who did not have multi-functional combine harvesters had used steel guys. Not to mention these iron guys bought from the Ming Dynasty, they had to use too much loss after using them for several months. They were already in a state of going back to the furnace again. Only then did everyone understand why the novel says that a few kilograms of iron was added to the blacksmith and let the blacksmith beat it again.

In fact, the high salt price in the Ming Dynasty was also because of this. Most salt-producing areas in the Ming Dynasty still used the method of boiling sea as salt. This method and the loss of iron pots were used. In a few months, a few kilograms of iron were added for the blacksmith to beat them again, but iron was not cheaper than salt.

The new immigrants moved into dozens of large houses originally built, where they will go through the safety quarantine period and organize some simple physical work, mainly to unload freight from the docks - Australian rice is not for nothing.

However, in the end, the Lushan people responsible for running business and recruiting immigrants were not able to see even a single brick was released - the brick kiln is now making water tanks and basins for new immigrants, but the good news is that two new brick kilns have started construction one after another. In the future, there will be many places to use bricks and pottery in Australia. In the future, it is estimated that such brick kilns will be used to burn cement in the future. A small brick kiln is not enough. As for the damage to the environment by burning bricks, as long as you don’t want to be a savage, you won’t consider it now.

The people who stayed in the Youth City and the people on the boat talked about the changes in the Youth City from scratch. What the personnel of the Lushan City can say here is the naval battle in Macau. To be honest, that time it really scared the left-behind personnel of the Lushan City. If it weren't for the big difference in the generation, that meticulous plan might have been successful.

Five hundred people gathered together and held several plenary meetings. The issue of strengthening the security of the Lushan was passed at the conference. The local military team in Youth City was very busy, either dealing with venomous snakes and insects, or driving away the nearby indigenous people. Of course, the most important thing was to train troops - this was also the most tiring thing for Zhang Tiejun. According to what he said, it was not easier than training troops at a small station in Yuan Shikai, although most of the military households he trained were still military households that escaped from the Ming Dynasty.

The military households established by the Ming Taizu can be understood as hereditary professional soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. In theory, they should have such a basic foundation, but it is not the case at all. It took them more than a month to distinguish between the left and right. You said straw sandals and cloth shoes. Where did the lack of supplies in Youth City come from so many shoes? Besides, it is really unsafe to wear straw sandals everywhere here.

Everyone understands that this is caused by low quality and low culture, but if you want them to recognize some words, they dozed off at the blackboard in class, but few of them could continue to learn. The original intention of the people in the Ming Dynasty to study was to become officials to make money. Hai Rui was exceptional. Many people think that since they cannot become officials, what's the use of learning it? Although these people came for the treatment of servants, no servants in any family could read. It was not easy to read in ancient times. Most people were often regarded as lacking this talent over time and they also felt that they were not the fate of literacy.

According to Zhang Tiejun's words, after so many years of training, he has not been so tired. It is better to find a group of dolls to start training since childhood. Now everyone is opposed to handing over the weapons to them before the training is completed, otherwise it may be possible to cause a lot of trouble.

Relatively speaking, Jin Sanduo picked up some advantage. Those Japanese warriors have been educated in military art since childhood. Small military art refers to swordsmanship, fighting, archery, iron cannons and other martial arts. Large military art refers to strategy and military strategy. In addition, they also need to learn Chinese poetry and tea ceremony. Basically, the standards in the Ming Dynasty are all high-end talents - of course not eight-legged essays or something. Learning too much can only make people stupid. Jin Sanduo will understand everything that he taught once or twice.

If you don't understand twice, you will beat and scold, corporal punishment, hunger and close your food, and even the most tolerant Japanese samurai did not think there was anything wrong with this, because they believed that a person's mistake on the battlefield was enough to cause an army to be defeated, and sometimes it was enough to change the fate of a battle or even a country. Of course, this was also because Jin Sando told them the story of a nail and an empire. A broken nail on the horse's hoof made a horse's leg numb, a broken horse's leg fell to death, a general died and a general lost a battle, and a battle defeated an empire.

In view of this, the security of the Lushan can only temporarily believe in the Japanese iron artillery teams beyond the military forces of the traversing crowds, especially the samurai iron artillery teams whose family is small, who are in Youth City.

In early November, the materials and most of the food were unloaded. During this period, the crucible of Lushan was not idle. After leaving a large amount of steel tools for the Australian Youth City, he left the port again to Asia to find more materials, tools and labor. According to the human resources group calculation, it would take a total of one million people, which is equivalent to 200,000 households to meet the current labor demand of the Youth City.

Even if the Lushan City immigrates in three months at a time, it will take 10,000 people per immigrate, and it will take twenty-five years to bring back all the population needed by Youth City. In fact, twenty years will be a generation. Perhaps the Youth City will not need so many immigrants at that time, but the whole of Australia needs it. If the Lushan City does not open three or five sub-bases in twenty years, the Lushan City will be too courageous.

This number of immigrants was nothing in the 17th century. During the Age of Discovery, Europe immigrated to the Americas for 200 to 300 years, and this immigrant also included tens of millions of black slaves. The Americas were not without native people, but the American natives, both the Mayans and the Indians, developed a high degree of civilization - at least much higher than Europe and Africa in the same period, and several American pyramids were built. These Americans with high civilization and self-esteem did not bow to the barbarians of this era - the European invaders, which resulted in the European invaders using smallpox as weapons to kill a large number of indigenous people while also immigrating from more backward Africa to the Americas.

The Lushan ship left the Qingnian Port and headed north to Nagasaki. Originally, we could stop in Manila for a while, but considering the attitude of the Spaniards in Manila towards the Chinese, everyone decided to conquer Manila by force in the future. Therefore, the Spaniards in Manila could not see the Lushan ship. What should I do if the Lushan ship scares them out? It is said that if they are scared out, it will be delicious. For the nations that dare to massacre, the only way to deal with them is to fight against them for tooth and for tooth.

This time when I arrived in Nagasaki, I accidentally met the envoy of the Shimazu family. After the Tokugawa shogunate unified the world, there were only two relatively large local forces left in Kyushu, namely the Shimazu family and the Maori family. The Shimazu family, which were both Western Army, also had a dislike with the Tokugawa family, and had a good relationship with the Maori family - they were all ally of the Western Army back then.

The Shimazu family knew nothing about it. The Maori family got the new fast gun and steel cannon, and immediately sent people to Nagasaki Port to guard it, waiting to trade with it. The two companies never forgot about the reversal, especially after the Tokugawa family produced a third-generation general, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was more ruthless than Tokugawa Ieyasu.

After the third generation of general Tokugawa Iemitsu came to power, the non-Tokugawa pro-spian Daiming in various places was considered unlucky. After a little mistake was caught, it was dealt with by extreme means such as changing the seal and expulsion. For a time, the unemployed ronin reached hundreds of thousands, but this was indeed beneficial to the Lushan. The most who stayed in Japan to pick up their families last time brought back one or two hundred samurai who brought their families, and the few brought forty or fifty samurai who brought their families to Australia.

With Australia's current salary level for the Iron Artillery Team is equivalent to a slightly higher than the level of a samurai who is slightly lower than the level of a samurai who is unemployed and laid off in Japan, there are so many unemployed and laid off in Japan, so there is no room for picky choice. It would be good to have a bowl of rice. Many samurai are not allowed to go up the mountain to become bandits or do odd jobs for others. The street sells umbrellas and calligraphy and paintings and sets up small stalls for small businesses, and five or six of them are from samurai.

The Shimazu family’s meaning is very simple, buy some quick guns and cannons from the Lushan. Of course, it’s enough for everyone to understand the matter of reversal in their hearts, and there is no need to talk about it openly.

The Lushan name itself is known as opening the door to do business, so there is naturally nothing that cannot be sold, especially the arms that can already be produced by raw materials from the 17th century - it seems that it is good to see Japan continue to enter the Warring States Period in her lifetime.

The messenger of the Shimazu family did not pay any price, but fortunately the price of copper collected by Lushan was not bad. At this time, the Tokugawa shogunate also explicitly prohibited gold, silver and copper from flowing out, but it was not enough to control the high mountain of Kyushu. For Australia, copper is a good thing. In addition to industrial use, it can also suppress auxiliary coins in the future and create shell shells. The wires are also copper-of-the-line-of-rubber. Of course, rubber is still a problem.

After the iron artillery team composed of Japanese samurai expanded again, it reached as many as 900 people, most of whom were going to Australia to be a retainer rather than a short-term worker. If these 900 people were equipped with Type 1628 rifles, it would be a very powerful force for Australia.

However, this amount is not enough. At this time, the Ming Dynasty often fought wars, tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of people started filming. If you say you brought a thousand people to the war, you would be embarrassed to speak. Another decision at the 500-person conference was to join the Ming Dynasty's war against foreign races when necessary - a process of changing history that can be controlled based on the love of time travelers.

In this regard, everyone decided to change history first, Mao Wenlong, the general of Dongjiang Town, Pidao. In history, this man had a year of life and was able to survive. It would be less easy to rescue him from the cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty. The smaller the number of times the Later Jin Dynasty went south, the weaker the national strength was, and it would be easier to get rid of it. Although the time travelers of the Republic had no good feelings for the feudal dynasty, their feelings for the Qing Dynasty were undoubtedly negative. This principle is the same as the Qing Dynasty tampered with the history of Ming Dynasty.

Open the draft of Qing history and Ming history, it turned out that Tartar emperors were diligent in their work and loved the people, and the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were extremely poor. This is one of the purposes of Quan Qing, making people think that it made sense for Quan Qing to replace the Ming Dynasty - but don't forget that during this period, many foreign countries carried out constitutional monarchy and became stronger. Quan Qing lagged behind the world's powerful country because of the diligence of the emperor and the diligence of Chongzhen. In addition, Chongzhen's diligence destroyed the Ming Dynasty, it can be seen that sometimes the emperor's diligence is also a bad deed. As the saying goes, one person has a short plan and three people have a chief plan. It is much smarter to make a decision in the cabinet than the emperor. The results of negotiations between a group of people may not be the best, but they are definitely the least bad.
