Chapter 24 Accelerating the Transition to Civilized Society
The supplies brought back from Batavia have been moved ashore one after another, and the simple wharf north of the Chang'an base has just played a role, although the wharf is not yet able to dock a large ship like the Perfect, but it is still more than enough to provide docking and unloading for two Western sailing ships.

With the increasing number of materials being moved, the development of the Chang'an base has officially entered a fiery state, with construction sites everywhere and dust raised everywhere.
The logging team, the mountain gravel team, the mining team, the agricultural team, and the various working groups were quickly established under the high unified command of the Executive Committee, and the relevant responsible persons were elected.
The formation of each group made everyone realize a serious problem for the first time, labor shortage, after the 500 people were divided into dozens of groups, each group ranged from a few people to a maximum of 100 people, of which the construction production team was the largest.
All the people who have almost no skills in the crowd have been thrown into the construction team, no matter how strong you are, as long as you can do the work.
Even so, the construction team still revealed a serious shortage of manpower, one is the lack of manpower, and the other is that those young people who have no technology and rich theoretical knowledge feel unfair to the tasks assigned by the executive committee, and always think about cheating, so the final result is that the completion rate of the task indicators of the entire building is not high.
The person in charge of the construction team is called Ren Jianjun, who is said to have been a small contractor in the past, who has contracted the construction of road hardening, building construction, subway tunnels, etc., in short, he is an experienced old construction worker.
Of course, this is only in the relative lack of talent through the crowd, if this is put in modern times, in fact, it is a small contract foreman on the construction site.
Lao Ren's main task is to build a wharf and ground hardening, and other public facilities are built, the most important is ground hardening, from the Chang'an base to the 51 area of the ten kilometers of this ten kilometers must be hardened, which for the two bases of material transportation and construction has played an important role.
A proposed brick-burning plant is currently being built in Area 51, with about 1,000 bricks per day, and most of these bricks are transported to the Chang'an base for the construction of important defenses.
The brick factory must be expanded, the number of workers is still too small, our construction team can be said to be a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, so it seems that there has always been work, in fact, it has a very big impact on the progress of the work, I personally suggest that a large brick factory is set up directly in the Chang'an base, and the construction of the cement plant should also be built as soon as possible, otherwise many of our problems can not be solved.
Ren Jianjun is here to propose and complain, there are too few people, there are one hundred and ten people in the construction team, looking at the number of people, in fact, there are not many people scattered at all, so the manpower is still very lacking, although the dozens of pirates have been replenished to various bases, but it is a drop in the bucket, for a newly built city, the demand for labor is very huge.
After the first shortage of manpower became apparent, the Executive Committee attached great importance to it and convened all members to meet again to discuss ways to solve the problem.
In fact, the best solution to the manpower problem is to bring in immigrants, bring in a large number of immigrants, and at the same time free up a group of laborers to do more important things.
"Why don't you go to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty in 1640 is not very good, we can go there to recruit immigrants, as long as the conditions given are good, there will definitely be people who can't eat."
Yang Yuzhou, a new celebrity in the foreign trade group, has always wanted to go to Daming to see the fireworks world there, it is said that the famous prostitutes in Jinling are all talented and beautiful, how can they not see such a good thing, not so much to recruit immigrants, but to say that he wants to see the world of flowers in Daming.
The issue of immigration is urgent, and the number of laborers who are lacking in each group to start construction is too large, and it is almost impossible to rely on these hundreds of people to achieve various indicators, so Yang Yuzhou did not mention that in fact, several committee members also have this plan in their hearts.
Of course, whether the Perfect has enough fuel to support a long-distance voyage is a big question, and as the former captain of the Perfect, Comrade Wang Tiehammer actually knows best.
"Lao Wang, can you still support a long-distance voyage, the task to Daming is more important than Batavia, and the situation in Daming is different from here, will we be arrested as widows if we are not familiar with life."
Yang Yi asked with a worried face, Daming is a place that everyone is familiar with and unfamiliar with, and it must not be viewed and thought about from the perspective of the 21st century, so it must be more cautious than Batavia.
"There is no problem with fuel, what I am thinking about now is that once the fuel runs out, the Perfect will completely enter the era of no power, and this problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it can only become a pair of scrap iron soaked in the sea and rot."
For the Perfect, the giant ship that took everyone through this time and space, it is not only a guarantee of everyone's safety, but also an important bridge for Australia's development, and its carrying capacity is incomparable to other ships.
The problem raised by Lao Wang is very serious, and I think that Lao Wang will take the lead in setting up a perfect number to tackle key problems and transform them to discuss the current situation, and they cannot wait until they are completely unmotivated.
"Okay, I'll do this, but how to solve the problem of manpower shortage now, we must solve the current problem."
"Actually, I have an idea, not long ago we found the indigenous tribe in the upper reaches of the Swan River, these people are free labor, we can catch and use them." Billy Zhou, a young man, deserves to be a scout, and as soon as he came back, he had a clear understanding of the surrounding situation.
"Hehe, isn't this good, isn't it a little inhumane?" Yang Yuzhou asked with a wicked smile, in fact, he already had an idea in his heart, in his opinion, the natives of Australia, these people are still in the primitive society and tribe period, and they have not developed their own civilization at all, and they are no different from the savages, so it is appropriate to catch them.
"I think we can think about it, we can arrest people, which may be a good thing for them, and it can speed up their entry into civilized society, what do you think?"
Yang Yi is worthy of being the youngest member of the committee, and he is very close to Zhou Billy and others ideologically.
It's just that the brows of the two female commissioners are slightly furrowed, and they seem to be a little unhappy, no matter how you look at this matter, it's not a good thing, and I'm saying, isn't it the same as the Western colonizers if you really want to do this!
"I think it's okay, the development of civilization must make sacrifices, as long as we build this place well, the descendants of those natives will thank us in the future." Xu Renguo, an upright soldier, also made such a tune, and basically this thing can be done.
