The water baby and the fire baby got off the boat and looked at the strange world in front of them, the wharf and port here do not look as big as the port and wharf here in Tianjin, and the cement paved playground has already been seen in Tianjin, which is not very new.

The mountains in the distance, the trees are luxuriant, and here in Ryukyu Castle not far away, there is a scene in full swing, and the huge city walls have been repaired for a long time, and it is estimated that after a while, the walls of this Ryukyu Castle will be repaired.

In Ryukyu Castle, some tall buildings can already be seen, just like here in Tianjin, they are all made of reinforced concrete, and the glass windows are very beautiful.

He dreamed of whether he could have a house made of reinforced concrete, so that he would no longer have to worry about water leakage and crushing the house when it snowed heavily in winter.

"This is the Ryukyus?"

The water baby and the fire baby looked at everything here with their own curious eyes.

Fortunately, I have passed through Tianjin and seen the prosperity of Tianjin, otherwise I would be like Yang Dalang and them, and I don't even know the cement road.

"Bell~Bell~"

Soon, with the arrival of newcomers, the entire Ryukyu Castle became busy.

Just like recruiting people from Quanzhou, Shuiwa and them were also divided into squads, and followed the captains of their respective squads to build Ryukyu Castle.

"I'm your squad leader Yang Dalang~"

Yang Dalang said in a somewhat broken official dialect to the nine members of his team.

He knew that this group of people was recruited from the north, and the northern region was different from the south, most of the people could understand the official language, and they could all speak the official language, unlike the south, where there were different sounds for ten miles and different customs for a hundred miles, and there was a big difference.

As the team leader, his first challenge was how to speak Mandarin so that the team members could understand it.

Shuiwa, Huowa and the others looked at the person in front of them who was about the same age as themselves, although the other party's official words were a little lame, they could still understand it.

"Everyone come with me first, presumably you must be hungry, I will take you to eat first, before eating, there are some rules to explain to you~"

Yang Dalang looked a little nervous, sweat gushed out on his forehead, he was the first time to be a team leader, and on such a formal occasion, he felt that his brain was in chaos, so after thinking about it, he could only learn from his old captain Liu Mingqi, while taking them to dinner, he slowly talked to them about some of the rules here.

The nervous team leader, the team members who seemed a little strange and timid just now, are all seventeen or eighteen years old, and their learning ability is very strong and plastic.

In just a few days, this group of 5,000 people from the north quickly adapted to everything here, and the people who came here first gradually became familiar with it.

After everyone got acquainted, Li Yuanshan's side began to disrupt the people from the north and south according to Liu Jin's original instructions, and there were people from the south and some from the north in each team, everyone spoke with different accents, got along with each other day and night, and eliminated the estrangement between regions.

More importantly, Liu Jin is foreshadowing for the future, since ancient times, in the land of China, under the barrier between regions, blood, clansmen, fellow villagers, classmates, etc. are easy to form small groups.

And the existence of such a small group is very disadvantageous to the future Ryukyu Castle, because the small group first considers the interests of its own small group, and rejects everyone else.

Just like the party struggles that slowly formed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, they were all represented by regionality, such as the Chu Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Donglin Party, etc., and these small groups represented by the region fought endlessly with each other, even to the extent that they disregarded the danger of the imperial court.

Of course, this is not the most important, the most important thing is that the clan power in the place of Daming is very strong, and it has been a rule since ancient times that the right not to go to the countryside.

In the most basic rural areas, what the law says does not count, what the clan elders say is counted, and the law is not a fart in front of the clan rules, and this phenomenon of clan forces controlling the place still exists even in later generations.

Ryukyu City is the back road left by Liu Jin for himself, and naturally he will not allow the existence of clan forces, nor will he allow the existence of fellow township forces.

Because it is an immigrant city and place, Liu Jin can solve this problem from the root from the beginning.

The immigrants recruited are very particular, they don't recruit too many people in the same place, and they all try to recruit young people as much as possible, and at the same time, after arriving here, they will have to mess up these and break down the barriers between regions, and this strategy will also be used in the large-scale recruitment of immigrants in the Ryukyus in the future.

With people, money, efficient organization and planning, and infrastructure such as cement, the construction speed of Ryukyu Castle is rapidly improving at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

The walls of Ryukyu Castle, the buildings in Ryukyu Castle, and even the entire Ryukyu Castle are constantly pouring out of this wild land as if mushrooms.

In the second month, that is, in July of the twelfth year of Hongji, the outermost wall of Ryukyu Castle was built, and the tall walls were all built with cement and quarried stones, and the speed was not worse than the walls of any city in the Ming Dynasty.

If it weren't for the savagery here in the Ryukyus, Liu Jin didn't even want to set up a city wall at first, because the city wall would restrict the development of a city.

However, considering the importance of Ryukyu Castle, it was finally decided to build a castle wall, and based on this Ryukyu Castle, it slowly expanded to the entire Ryukyu Island.

The closure of the tall city wall also made Li Yuanshan breathe a sigh of relief, with the city wall, the entire Ryukyu City would be much safer, and with artillery, Li Yuanshan felt that even if these local barbarians on Ryukyu Island came to 100,000 people, they would not want to take Ryukyu City.

In addition to the city walls, many important buildings in Ryukyu Castle have also begun to be built one after another, and groups of people from the north, Fujian, and Zhejiang have been recruited.

In just two months, there are already more than 30,000 people in Ryukyu Castle, and such a huge population makes the entire Ryukyu Castle extremely lively.

More than 30,000 people, in addition to some people continuing to build Ryukyu Castle, Li Yuanshan also began to organize people to reclaim, with Ryukyu Castle as the center, the surrounding large areas, large areas of originally wild land, began to slowly appear one by one.

Because it is a new place of immigration, all the land and wealth here belong to the Ryukyu Castle established by Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao, and Zhang Mao, and it has not undergone changes over the years.

Therefore, all the reclaimed land is planned and reclaimed in a unified manner, and the fields are very large, which is convenient for unified management, and it is more convenient to use some simple machinery to cultivate as much as possible to save manpower.

All the fields in Ryukyu Castle were planted with sugarcane in the first time, and the planting of sugarcane can be divided into two seasons, the spring is from February to April, and the harvest can be from May to July, and the autumn is planted from August to September, and it can be harvested in December, and the planting period is three months.

It's July of the twelfth year of Koji, so it's a little late, but this is the Ryukyus, with plenty of sunlight and heat, so it's the best place to grow sugar cane, so it's okay to be a little late.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too late, Li Yuanshan would have even wanted to grow rice, and the climate here would also be very suitable for rice cultivation.

In addition to planting sugarcane, Li Yuanshan did not forget Liu Jin's words and planted vegetables and fruits in a large area around Ryukyu City.

Fruits do not need to occupy fertile land, and the surrounding freshly cut down mountain forest areas can be used to grow fruits, of course, it takes several years for fruits to bear fruit, and there will be no benefits for a while.

But vegetables are different, it's July now, and in a few months, the northern region will start to get colder, and as soon as the weather is cold, there is no way to grow vegetables, and even the magnates here in the capital will find it difficult to eat a fresh meal.

This is not the case in the Ryukyus, and even though there is little ice and frost in winter, the temperature is still very high, making it ideal for growing vegetables.

Now sow seeds, when it comes to the cold winter wax moon, these vegetables can almost be harvested, and then these vegetables will be transported to Tianjin and Beijing, and the storage can be bought back by rich people who are tired of eating meat.

Sugarcane and vegetables, which are planned by Liu Jin and can bring certain benefits this year, must let the shareholders of Ryukyu City see the benefits of investment, so as to stimulate them to continue to invest in Ryukyu City, continue to recruit more people to Ryukyu City, cultivate more land, and plant more sugarcane and vegetables.

After all, interests are the most powerful source of power, and not many people have done things without interests since ancient times, and even if someone does, it is absolutely impossible to do it in the long run.

Only profitable things will be done by people all the time, and they can also do it bigger and bigger.
