When the Beijing-Tianjin area was crazy because of the gold and silver of the Golden Continent, the entire Ryukyu Castle, thousands of miles away, was also extremely busy.

More than half a year has passed, and the entire Ryukyu City has also undergone earth-shaking changes, with the existence of cement, an infrastructure artifact, in just over half a year, a huge city stands on this wild land.

In the bay of the Tamsui River, the wharf is also getting bigger and bigger, and at the same time, a spacious cement road is built between the wharf and Ryukyu Castle, which is extremely convenient.

In Ryukyu Castle, all the buildings are made of reinforced concrete, the buildings are neatly distributed, the streets are dotted, and all the roads are paved with concrete roads, which is very clean and spacious.

Outside of Ryukyu Castle, it used to be a barren land, but now, after several months of reclamation, the area around Ryukyu Castle is full of fertile fields.

In this fertile field, a large area of sugarcane and vegetables are planted, one after another, and when you look at it, there is no end in sight.

Spacious cement roads are also planned here in the field, and all the ditches built are made of cement, which is very pleasing to the eye.

At the foot of the mountains, there are also rows of pigsties, cattle and sheep pens, which raise a large number of cattle, sheep, pigs and other domestic animals, and the mountains are planted with various fruit trees, which are still seedlings at this time, and it takes time to grow slowly.

Today is the third day of the 11th month of the 12th year of Hongji, and with the sound of bells, figures emerge very quickly from all corners of Ryukyu Castle.

The figures quickly gathered in the open space, and then, as usual, plunged into the busyness of the new day.

The planted sugar cane is finally harvest time.

Like the rest of the immigrants, the water babies went to the fields outside the city to harvest sugar cane with scythes in their hands.

When I came to the sugarcane field, I couldn't see the end at a glance, and as far as the eye could see, all of them were sugarcane, and the teams of squads under the leadership of their respective captains also came to the sugarcane fields assigned by their respective captains.

"Brothers, let's do it~"

Yang Dalang looked at the No. 7 brother under his hand, picked up his sickle and took the lead and began to do it.

The others didn't have the slightest intention of being lazy, and they all began to work hard.

It's not been a day or two since I came to Ryukyu City, and everyone has already understood the rules of Ryukyu City.

In addition, when you come to Ryukyu Castle to do things, not only do you eat and live well, you can live comfortably, but you also have money to take, where to find such good things in the world.

For those of them who come from poor backgrounds, this is paradise, and everyone cherishes everything here, so they work very hard.

With the swing of the scythe, the sugarcane is constantly cut down, the unsweetened parts of the head are removed, and then the sugarcane leaves are trapped into bundles and bundles, and then the sugarcane is carried to the concrete road.

On the cement road, horse-drawn carts and ox carts are constantly pulling sugar cane, pulling these sugar canes to Ryukyu Castle to squeeze juice and boil sugar.

"This sugar cane is so sweet~"

has been working for more than an hour, Yang Dalang is also tired and has a sore back, so he motioned to the brothers to rest first, and also cut a section of sugarcane and ate it.

While eating, Yang Dalang also sighed.

He is a native of Quanzhou, Fujian, and Fujian has a tradition of planting sugarcane, so he has seen a lot of sugarcane and tasted it.

But the sugarcane I have eaten in the past is not at all comparable to the sugarcane here in Ryukyu City, the sugarcane grown here in Ryukyu City is not only large, one sugarcane can top two sugarcane others, the key is that the sugar is very sufficient, the water is also more, and it tastes very sweet.

"This sugar cane is so delicious~"

Shuiwa is also gnawing on a section of sugarcane, he is from Henan, before coming to Ryukyu City again, he has never eaten sugarcane, and because his family is poor, he rarely eats sweets since he was a child.

It's different here in Ryukyu Castle, the fields outside the sugar cane are everywhere, and everyone wants to eat sugar cane, eat whatever you want, as long as it's not deliberately destroyed, just eat, you can eat as much as you want.

So the water baby also fell in love with eating sugarcane and liked the sweet taste.

Similarly, when I first came, Shui Wa always felt that there were too many and too many discomforts here.

There are a lot of mosquitoes here in Ryukyu Castle, and a big bag will be raised when you bite it; There are also barbarians here, and in just half a year, the barbarians have launched several attacks on this part of Ryukyu Castle, but they are only cannon fired from afar; There are also too many rules here in Ryukyu Castle, there are rules for eating, sleeping, and even going to the toilet.

In short, when he first started here, he was very unsuitable, and at one point regretted immigrating here.

But soon, he slowly adapted to life here and gradually fell in love with it.

The roads, streets, etc. here are very clean and tidy, the application of tap water, so that life here becomes very comfortable, plus you can eat well, live well, and take the silver for nothing, what reason is there not to like here?

"If it's delicious, eat more, and when the sugar is boiled out, go home and bring a few catties of sugar back during the New Year."

Hearing Shui Wa's words, Yang Dalang smiled and said.

"Brother Yang, how much sugarcane do you say we can receive this time, and how much sugar can we boil?"

The water baby smiled, and then said with a big grin.

"How do I know how much sugarcane I can harvest, but I can still roughly calculate, looking at the appearance of this sugarcane, it is definitely no problem to conservatively calculate 10,000 catties of this acre of land."

"We have planted more than 30,000 acres of sugarcane outside the entire Ryukyu City, and if you do a simple calculation, there is no problem at all if you can harvest 30,000 catties of sugarcane this time."

Yang Dalang used to be illiterate, he couldn't read and write at all, and he only knew how to do arithmetic very simply.

But when I came to Ryukyu Castle, because of my hard work, I was selected as an excellent individual and became the captain of the team.

The team leader is also a low-level manager here in Ryukyu City, so after working during the day, he also has to participate in night classes here in Ryukyu City at night, and he also learned to read and write in the night classes, and he also learned some arithmetic.

The fields in Ryukyu Castle are very neatly planned, and all the fields are as square as possible, one acre of land by one, and wooden signs are erected on the edge ridges of each field, with the number of the field on it.

Liu Jin also applied his experience in business management to Ryukyu City, and the management model here is no different from that of many industries under Liu Jin's command.

"30,000 catties of sugarcane?"

When the team members around Yang Dalang heard this, they couldn't help but open their mouths wide, and they didn't know how to describe this number in their minds.

"How much sugar cane, how to eat it all~"

Someone sighed.

"These sugarcanes are used to squeeze juice and boil sugar, do you think you can eat it directly like this~"

Yang Dalang said with a smile.

"Brother Yang, how much sugarcane do you say, and how much sugar can it boil?"

Shuiwa thought about the numbers in her mind, 30,000 catties of sugarcane, and then looked at the cement road next to the field, and the team members kept carrying bundles of sugarcane to the side of the road.

The sugar cane was piled high on the road, and the ox carts and wagons were so full that the cattle and horses pulling the carts seemed to be very difficult.

A bumper harvest of sugarcane~

So much sugar cane, all of which is used to boil sugar.

"I don't know about that."

Yang Dalang smiled and shook his head and said.

"Okay, it's almost time to rest, it's time to work~"

Then he looked at the other squads who were working hard, and they also picked up their scythes and continued to chop sugar cane.

The sugarcane fields were extremely busy, and the sugarcane fields were constantly harvested and began to be transported to Ryukyu Castle.

Inside Ryukyu Castle, it's also very busy.

The harvested sugar cane needs to be juiced immediately and then boiled into sucrose, otherwise the sugar cane will rot very easily.

Once the sugarcane is rotten, the sugar boiled out will not work, with some peculiar smell, the cane sugar will not be sold at a high price, sugar in this era, but belongs to the ranks of luxury goods, ordinary people simply can't afford to eat, only really rich people can afford to eat sugar.
