"It's good that you can understand, the Tamna people have also lived on this island for hundreds of years, and they are all natives of this island like you, and it would hurt Tianhe to kill them all. As for the Goryeo general Wang Shoucheng, although this person is very good, but after all, he is a Goryeo, and killing him will definitely cause a fierce counterattack by the Goryeo, our career has just begun, this is not the time for war. Chao Gai said.

Xu Guanzhong next to him was also very happy and said: "Brother is relieved, the owner of MCA Ma Zhuang understands the righteousness and can understand his brother's hard work." ”

Ma Hua led Chao Gai and others into the village, which was still the old rule, the soldiers did not disturb the people when they entered the village, and Chao Xiong led the soldiers of the navy to help the people repair the houses lost due to the war and clean the streets.

MCA's family is not bad, because in the middle of the village, there is not much loss, watching the tea and pouring water, and the two sides are seated. Chao Gai, Ma Hua, Xu Guanzhong, as for Jiao Ting and Lu Fang, they are all standing.

Ma Hua looked embarrassed and said: "Chao Tuan Lian should have killed chickens and ducks to entertain guests, but the Goryeo people have besieged the village for nearly a month, and the chickens and ducks in the village have been eaten. ”

"It doesn't matter if these are any, there are a lot of baggage in our army, so you can divide some of your villages. Let's first discuss the future development. Chao Gai said.

Ma Hua said: "Oh, after so many years of small wars, and I am not proficient in how to develop at all, so this village has developed like this, and the people can only eat enough." ”

"Let's talk about the aid to the village first." Chao Gai said.

Ma Hua said: "Haven't you already assisted 50 ploughing cattle? ”

"That's the scientific research fund paid by the owner of the horse farm, that doesn't count. What I mean is that before the beginning of spring, 2,000 sets of hoes and 2,000 sets of shovels will be given to Guizhuang. In addition, 300 ploughing oxen and 300 sets of ploughshares were sold on credit. ”

MCA was taken aback, such hoes and shovels are acceptable, but it is not okay to sell 300 ploughing oxen and ploughshares on credit, and there is no money in the village.

"That Chao Tuanlian, the village is barren, and there is not so much money to pay for three hundred ploughing oxen and ploughshares." MCA said.

Chao Gai smiled: "You don't have to worry, don't pay a penny, you only need to return the young animals, or return the grain in five years." In addition, I see that the land in your village is mainly dry land, and the yield must not be high, so I will divide 5,000 catties of Tianwang rice seeds, how about planting them for you? ”

Xu Guanzhong said: "Brother Ma may not know that this Tianwang rice is very high-yielding, and it is resistant to barrenness and drought. After harvesting wheat, it is planted, and it is harvested after the Mid-Autumn Festival, with a yield of almost 1,000 catties per mu. One mu only needs five catties of seeds, and this Tianwang rice is carefully cultivated by Chao Tuanlian, and the seeds are still very scarce. ”

Ma Hua said: "In this way, on behalf of the village fathers and elders throughout the year, I thank the Chao group for training. ”

"It doesn't have to be so, this king rice seed is not given away for nothing, it is sold on credit, just wait for the autumn harvest of king rice after a pound of seeds to return ten catties of grain, my kind of sub-business house still earns, haha." Chao Gai said.

Ma Hua said: "It is a kind of kindness that the owner of such a high-yield crop is willing to recommend it to us. ”

Chao Gai also said that he would send a few technicians to the village to teach new agricultural techniques, such as fish farming, cattle raising, sheep raising, and Tianwang rice planting techniques, and promised to make Majia Village a wealthy village within two years. MCA was very moved, tears in her eyes.

Majiazhuang experienced the war and was poor in materials, so Chao Gai distributed thousands of catties of salted fish from the Tamna people to the Zhuangli people. He also brought wine and meat to cook, and invited Ma Hua and other important people in the village to eat.

After the meal, Chao Gai took out a dense sketch of several lengths and handed it to Ma Hua: "Look at this picture." ”

MCA is proficient in machinery, but this drawing has never been seen, and after seeing the time when there is a stick of incense, MCA said solemnly: "This seems to be a kind of machinery driven by steam, but I have never heard of it, and I don't know if it is feasible." ”

"It's called a steam engine, and I can assure you that it's absolutely doable, it's very easy to use, it's very powerful, it's very powerful enough to drive a big sea boat, it's very useful. His schematic drawings have already written it clearly. Chao Gai pointed to the drawings and said to Ma Hua, "This is a big stove for fire, but because it contains a lot of water, the pot and the stove are together, so it is called a boiler." After the water is boiled, steam will be generated, and the steam will reach the machine through the steel pipe, and there is a precision piston device that can make the steam work repeatedly, and the piston will drive a huge flywheel through the connecting rod, so that the force will be generated, and the machine will be completed. ”

The layman looked at the excitement, the insider looked at the doorway, and the words made Ma Huamao pause, got up and bowed: "Chao Tuan Lian is really a god and a man, such a delicate thing can be designed, and this thing will definitely shock the world as soon as it comes out." ”

Chao Gai said: "How about leaving this thing to you to design and produce?" ”

"It's a great honor, it's just that this exquisite machinery is unparalleled in the world, and I can't do it alone, I need to transfer ten assistants in the village, and I also need to send exquisite blacksmiths and carpenters to assist me." MCA Road.

Chao Gai said: "Compared with Xu Guanzhong, I also mentioned to you, there are many skilled craftsmen in Yuncheng, and Tang Long, the master of forging, is a rare blacksmith in the world. The carpenter Lu Tam, is a very ingenious carpenter, and Ye Chun and Meng Kang, who are also proficient in machinery and shipbuilding, are rare skilled craftsmen. It would be best if the owner of the horse farm could go to Yuncheng, of course, this is just my opinion, and everything is based on the principle of the convenience of the owner of the horse farm. ”

Ma Hua thought for a while and said: "It's definitely okay to go to Yuncheng, but I have experienced this ordeal in my village and haven't recovered yet, so I'm afraid I will be distracted when I go to Yuncheng." It would be better if we could set up a workshop on this island, and there are hundreds of craftsmen in my village who are proficient in machinery, and they are all very good people. ”

Chao Gai said: "Okay, just Yima Zhuang Master, but in this way, the top carpenter and blacksmith can't be transferred, I will send you ten good carpenters, ten good blacksmiths, plus ten assistants in your village, and I am transferring twenty strong men to your command." A new factory, called the New Jeju Machinery Factory, was formed to develop and manufacture various types of machines. As long as the steam engine research is successful, other equipment can be manufactured in large quantities. ”

"Thank you for the love of the owner, MCA dares not to do his best." MCA Road.

Chao Gai and MCA read that the new Jeju Machinery Factory was built at the port where Chao Gai and the others landed, and the port is now named New Jeju Port, and there is a river that flows into the sea six miles away from the port, just where the New Jeju Machinery Factory was built.

There are many people who can work, and Xiao Rang led Zhuang Ding to set up a temporary farm residence.

After the discussion of Gongsun Sheng and Xiao Rang, it was decided that the first batch of 3,000 strong men would develop a farm-style agricultural economy. The winters on Jeju Island are not harsh, the island has abundant rain, fertile land, and excellent agricultural conditions. The plains near the river are dominated by wheat and rice. Every 500 people formed a farm and cultivated 20,000 acres of land. Although the land has not yet been cultivated, the lines have already been drawn. The farm is intensively managed, with new farming methods such as horses and mules. One farm is equipped with one farm at the same time, so the benefits of recycling are realized.

Xiao Rang commanded a group of Zhuang Ding to cut down arm-thick branches and enclose the walls of the farm village, so that the farm village was formed, and there was no need to bother to come up with a name, just arrange it according to the numbers, farm one village, farm two villages, and when the first batch of people all came, they would arrange six to six villages.

These refugees had made the long sea journey to get here, and although it was deserted, there was still hope, fertile land, good farming tools, and the coming mules and horses. One by one, they mustered up their energy, overcame thorns and thorns, reclaimed the land, built canals, and so on. All farm work is done in an orderly manner.

When Chao Gai, Ma Hua and others arrived on horseback, waterwheels had already been built by the river, and huge overturned trucks were constantly lifting up the water.

"Xiao Rang, come over here." Chao Gai beckoned Xiao Rang over.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Xiao Rang asked.

Chao Gai said: "This is the master craftsman Ma Hua, the owner of the Ma Zhuang, now you need to trim a simple shed, as a temporary workshop of the new Jeju Machinery Factory, you send someone to help." ”

"Okay, the strong men have all recovered, they are in good spirits and full of energy. Hu Cheng and Ruan Xiaoer have already returned to pick up the next batch of immigrants. "MCA Road.

"Okay, let's start building today, and then build a permanent workshop when we settle down." Chao Gai said.

The temporary workshop is nothing more than a requirement to shelter from the wind and rain, build it with wooden pillars, and build a fence wall, which is not complicated. With Xiao Rang's assistance, it took only two days to set it up. There happened to be carpenters and blacksmiths with the army, who were supposed to do other work, but Chao Gai only left a few, and all the rest were sent to MCA. The new Jeju Machinery Factory was opened, and because the amount of steel needed to develop the steam engine was large and the boilers were not yet complete, the first task of the new Jeju Machinery Factory was to continue to renovate the repeating giant crossbow.

With the cooperation of the best steel pieces and the delicate blacksmiths and carpenters, MCA is also full of confidence, saying that the improvement will be completed soon.

Gongsun Sheng has also been busy with immigration in the past few days, and he is relieved to see that the conditions here are very good.

Gongsun Sheng said: "Why did my brother ask for a thousand women from the king of Tamna? How to settle them when they arrive? ”

"Look at these strong men, there are still a lot of people in their twenties. Although a few people have wives at home, many more people do not have wives. If you don't have a wife, you have to marry a wife, and if you marry a wife, you need a woman, and there are many women in the Tamna people, so I asked them for a thousand women. It's just that we don't do arranged marriages, that's too inhumane. Isn't there a big shallow sea next to the new Jeju Port, so let these Tamna women catch kelp, touch shells, and touch sea cucumbers. ”

"W-is this going to work?" Gongsun Sheng worried.

Chao Gai smiled: "Don't you know, these Tamluo women are very water-based, and a fierce man can run far when he gets into the sea." ”
