Chapter 81 Ship Schedule and New City

Before you know it, the traveler has occupied the big man for seven days.The seven-day time was extremely tense: five or six different ethnic groups crowded on this small sandbar. If it weren't for the superior force of the Transcendents, the inferior sand boat visitors would not even dare to sleep these days.

There is no such thing as Class B and Class C workers anymore.All the laborers brought in from Hangzhou "raised the flag" overnight - all of them joined the party and became official "employees" of the company with wages.

The villainous leaders of the beggar gang are now doing their old jobs: daily overseers with whips and clubs.Other honest farmers and homeless people are responsible for repairing the infrastructure of the business hall, cleaning, storing drinking water, and cooking.

The Dutch are usually driven to the island to set fires. At one point, there was a gang of redheads who made a bet on whether anyone would run away.However, the red-haired people are still very clear about what they have done when they ruled here - the gallows made of good wood outside the business hall is proof.The gallows, built on the order of Gerald Weiss, the second chief of the sergeant, taught many slaves and natives to be human.

The travelers found regretfully that the red-haired people would rather be smoked to death or burned to death than to go to the remote aboriginal villages.It seems that Christians are still very resistant to hanging their skulls on other people's door frames.

The Banda slaves also had a much better life.At least crossing the force will make everyone under the rule fed and clothed, which has nothing to do with identity.

The Fujian fishermen found the new short-haired man to be very easy to deal with.

Regardless of their anger, the fishing boats they stole were returned afterward.Hire a boat to ferry people, buy fish and give money, and the price is fair.Fish tax is not high, much less than when the red-haired master was in power.

The short-haired gentleman also has good medical skills. He can go to the ground with a sew of a bloody wound. However, the medical fee is too expensive, and the money saved will be spent on the next illness.In the past few days, a bald man surnamed Feng is inviting people to join the team, and he promises a lot of benefits: monthly pay, three meals a day, and all injuries.If it hadn't been for a haircut before joining, I'm afraid all the men from Fujian would have already joined the occupancy.

The sand on Dayuan Island is warm and pure, and the surrounding scenery is amazing.The traversers who have just arrived at the treasure land have not yet cultivated to the realm of immunity to natural scenery.So sitting on the sand dunes in the evening, blowing the salty sea breeze, lighting a cigarette, and having a small meeting has become a reserved program for some upper-class people recently.

"Is the Dog's Eye ready?" Xia Xianze sat under the sand dune with his back against the sand pile, stretched his legs comfortably, and asked Liu Zhe, who was sitting on his left.

"Just move in a little sandalwood and ivory, and it's essentially an empty boat, ready to go any time."

"Well, then leave early tomorrow." Xia Xianze paused and continued to ask, "How long will it take to return to Hangzhou?"

"It's totally possible." Liu Zhe shook his head: "This is going to be a headwind, let's go. It's not uncommon to climb to Hangzhou in ten days and a half, and if something happens, it's possible for a month. Fortunately, there is a radio station, so you can track your whereabouts. ."

"Well, speaking of the radio, where are Mr. Cao and the others?"

Liu Zhe looked at his watch: "The telegram two hours ago said that the boat has reached the mouth of the Danshui River."

On the third day of occupying the officers, as soon as they felt that the situation was initially under control, the officers sent a telegram to inform the two long-prepared sand ships in Hangzhou to set sail.One of the two ships has added navigation and power equipment, and now Chairman Cao is on that ship.

"Just go to the near shore." Xia Xianze breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm afraid that there will be problems in the open sea. If you go along the coast, you will break through the sky and hit the rocks, and President Cao can return to 'over there'."

"Think too much, Lao Xia, if you have equipment, how can it be so easy to hit the rocks."

"Well, that aspect of the ship is OK."

After discussing the issue, it was almost dark, Xia Xianze patted his butt and got up: "Come home, Lao Feng Lu will tell me about the new town planning."

"The general plan has been made." Feng Guanjie, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, replied with an elegant demeanor.Then, as he walked, he stretched out his hand and gestured toward the southwest of the business hall: "The new city is built in this area, and it will be done by building a small city alone."

The existing business hall was built in a hurry by the Dutch, and the wall is a wooden plywood rammed-earth wall - a dry base in the local dialect.The wall soil was dug from the mangroves on the opposite bank, and there was only sand on Dayuan Island.Whether the foundation, walls, or wooden buildings and layout of the old business hall, all did not meet the standards of travelers from later generations.

However, the old building is now full of people and goods, and it cannot be renovated at all, and it is not cost-effective: it is easier to build a new city.

The Europeans built a fort in the wilderness, and it must be a multi-functional fort that integrates military, government and business.However, travelers do not need to: in the future, all industrial and commercial activities will be carried out on the other side, and most of the population will live on the other side.With that little size of the Dutch, they couldn't bear to go to Chikan to build a city in the later stage, and the crossing forces that were always trying to explode the population would naturally not take detours.

The military aspect accounts for a small proportion of the design: the traversing force with a huge range advantage does not need to build the castle in the dock area. On the contrary, building the castle in the center of the island can also block the waterway.Moreover, Chuanzhong can easily swept all the landing troops to death on the one-kilometer-long sandy ground while chatting—if any fools dare to land in the future.

Therefore, the new city does not need the design of the bastion, as long as the weapons brought by the later generations can be placed.As for the dock area, it is entirely possible to build a gun tower to assist in defense, saving labor and materials.

For a force that will leave the senior officials in a few years and go to the vast world, the political and commemorative significance of the new city is even more important: hold a general meeting of shareholders, meet foreign envoys, and engrave XX on the wall. this trip
In short, a small, concise, and characteristic castle is the most suitable building for the style of the traversers.

After listening to Feng Guanjie's report, it's already a matter of time. As far as Xia Xianze himself is concerned, he still agrees with this plan. He knows that he will move in a few years.
However, he cannot decide this matter alone. Not to mention the existing personnel, Chairman Cao and some left-behind people will soon arrive at the senior officials. There are still many major issues to be discussed, and the construction of the city can only be resolved together when the time comes.

In the evening of the second day, all the non-traversing people who could move freely on Dayuan Island came out to watch the fun: two sand boats slowly passed the channel and entered the dock in the Taijiang Inland Sea.These days, the "pirates", "Ming Dynasty adults" and "Short-haired gentlemen" who do whatever they want are all concentrated on the pier. The AK rifles without flash suppressors spewed 1-meter-long celebratory fireworks to the sky.

The founder of the company, local tyrant, live-action robot cat, and powerful plane traveler - Chairman Cao Chuan Cao was taken from the sand boat.I saw that he was wrapped in a thin quilt, and there were faint traces of vomiting beside the pillow.

　I woke up early and had a power outage, turned it on at 5:[-] p.m. and saw: It's actually a short stop!Category recommendations next week!Oh my god, it's all tears, it's so hard for a newcomer!
　　Originally, I could only update one chapter today. If it is like this, I can only update it tomorrow. I will save two chapters a little. Sorry everyone, the manuscript will be gone the day before yesterday.
