Chapter 131: Reducing Subsequent Killings

In July of 1265, the Badaohe area ushered in a double robbery mission, and everyone had to participate in the harvest and seeding. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Previously, they only brought a pound of high-quality traditional rice seeds from the other side of the world, and they could only plant about half an acre of paddy fields after raising seedlings, but it was the first to mature, because this 60-day maturity variety was earlier than the varieties of the Great Song Dynasty.

Its yield surprised the Song people, this is only half an acre and there are more than two stones?!

Zhang Guoan said: "This is a good breed of Yindi'anguo, in fact, there is a higher yield, but there is no taste------

The peasant pointed to the corn in the distance and said, "That jade --- rice is also from Yindi'anguo?" ”

"Yes, there are some vegetables you haven't seen before!"

The farmer smiled and said, "Little favorite tomatoes, sweet and sour." ”

The vegetable seeds they brought were all well developed in this time and space, and after a round of planting, they can basically be on the table in the canteen now.

A large cafeteria is a no-brainer, but this form is necessary for large group activities.

In the period of double robbery, this form strongly supported the work.

As a result of the three-meal system, everyone's physical strength has increased, especially when they can only eat meat as the main dish, which they have not had in the past.

Their bodies are indeed much better than in the past due to their large intake of protein.

In other words, whether it is a nomadic or a maritime people, their health is basically better than that of agricultural peoples.

They have cultivated a total of more than 3,000 acres of paddy fields, in this time and space, those rice matured, continuous water to dry the field, and then re-soaked the field and planted seedlings, which can make everyone tired, but everyone is happy, this harvest shows that they no longer have to worry about food.

Hundreds of acres of wheat were also harvested.

Twenty and a half children have not yet come out of the fun of organizing a large hunt, and they are reincarnated to do what they used to do again.

They had to get busy again in the seedling base.

Wang Zheng whispered quite dissatisfied: "We are soldiers, Lord Wu's family often says this------"

Company Commander Bao Wei also whispered: "So all our actions are under the command!" ”

Wang Zheng was speechless for a while, they could only obey the orders of Zhang Guoan's master's family.

In this hot July, everyone is sweating like rain, including Zhang Guoan and Jing Jing.

They take the lead in labor, but they don't have the slightest sense of showmanship.

Because all this is doing things for themselves, not for others, and without a lot of food, even if they have a lot of dried fish in their hands, they always have a little uneasiness.

Perhaps this is the norm for agrarian peoples.

However, Zhang Guoan also has the means to do some work to prevent heatstroke and cool down.

He used the principle that nitric acid/potassium absorbs a lot of heat when dissolved in water to make ice.

He found a shady cave and built several pools with Romanesque cement two meters long, one meter wide, and twenty centimeters deep.

He spread nitric acid/potassium at the bottom of the pool, then put an iron pot on it, first add water to the iron pot, cover it, and finally have people fill the pool with water until the nitric acid/potassium is completely dissolved.

After about three hours, the inside of the iron pot can be iced, and it is ready to use.

Nitric acid/potassium can be regenerated, and finally the solution is sucked into the reaction kettle with a hand-cranked pump, repeatedly steamed with warm fire, and then cooled and crystallized to obtain nitric acid/potassium again.

It can produce hundreds of catties of ice a day, and later people called it an ice cave.

Zhang Guoan's iced saline may really help everyone prevent heatstroke and cool down, and there were no cases of heat stroke after the whole double robbery work.

Of course, they also wake up early to work and avoid the sun's best at noon.

Deputy Company Commander Huang Zu also returned.

He found a sulphur mine and came back with dozens of tons of sulphur at a time, and he said he saw everything there.

Zhang Guoan was very happy, he knew that there would be tens of millions of tons of mineral deposits in the entire northern part of Liuqiu.

He doesn't have to worry about the sulfur mine, but if he can't do it, he will go to Iwo Jima, and the distance of 2,000 kilometers at sea is nothing.

The island was covered with a thick layer, like struvite stones, dug up at will.

However, Zhang Guoan asked Captain Cai Eryang, who claimed to have been to Persia, that he did not know that there was such an island in the east that was always smoking.

At that time, Zhang Guoan didn't care, forget it, I'll talk about it later.

What made Zhang Guoan even happier was that Deputy Company Commander Huang Zu also brought back a group of people, and the interesting thing is that they turned out to be from the Great Song Dynasty!

Deputy Company Commander Huang Zu said: "I told them to come with me, next year I will give you 300 acres of good paddy fields, one cow per family, is it not better than cultivating dozens of acres of dry land here?" And beware of native theft? As soon as they heard it, they came------hehe! ”

There can be more than 100 families here, Zhang Guoan is happy that they are more than 100 households!

In addition to itself, that is, the base began to have a population in the form of a home, and this is the real beginning of development.

Zhang Guoan took a closer look, and it turned out that they came here when they fled from the north, and their location was probably in the mountainous area between the first river and the second river, where they made a living by growing upland rice, and usually fished in the river.

They also dug for sulfur, but it was difficult to transport it back to the Great Song Dynasty due to the lack of large sea vessels.

I have also arranged for someone to send it out before, but there is no follow-up, I am afraid that I will be shipwrecked.

So their life is very hard, but they can eat------ but they also have to resist the robbery of the natives!

Zhang Guoan said to the twenty and a half children: "Now we see how powerless individuals are in front of nature without the power of the collective!" ”

Captain Bao Wei said sincerely: "Master Zhang's family, if it weren't for the cooperation of our companions, where would we be able to hit so many sambars?!" ”

Zhang Depei immediately interjected and said: "That is, we are divided into several teams, and we are definitely more useful than a few people with the shooting------ and in the end, even knives, guns and sticks were used, and not a single sambar deer escaped------

Their hunt was indeed a bumper harvest, with hundreds of sambar in hand.

However, they didn't expect that when they came back, they would still have to do farm work!

Fortunately, the arrival of more than 100 families still solved some labor problems.

As soon as these more than 100 families saw the pile of salt piled up like a house under the big shed of the salt field, they were happy.

They had already seen those big ships, if it weren't for this, they might not have believed the words of Deputy Company Commander Huang Zu------ they had really let the natives bully enough!

Here, they were no longer worried, because they saw that there were still indigenous people working.

Zhang Guoan's bow arranged a bamboo building for them, the men went to work in the farmland, and the women went to the quiet seedling raising base to work------ as for the remuneration, the previous promise of Deputy Company Commander Huang Zu was valid, and now, three meals a meal will also be eaten in the canteen, and the salary of each adult man is the same as that of others, and the salary of women is halved.

In this way, when their harvest was brought into this batch of grain and new seedlings were planted, this double rush season came to an end.

Their granaries are also bamboo-style, which is conducive to preservation.

Zhang Guoan decided to go to the Great Song Dynasty, and all kinds of metals were going to run out.

Regarding iron ore, Song Ziqiang made a plan, and he suggested that Zhang Guoan use iron ore directly.

In that time and space, probably in the thirties and forties of the 20th century, the riverbed iron placer mines in the rivers in the northern part of the river were once very famous.

More than 3 million tons of high-grade iron ore were removed by magnetic separation in the riverbeds of major streams in the northern region......

Riverbed iron ore is generally of higher grade than natural iron ore through stream erosion.

The highest grade can reach 70 percent!

This is now, some natives collect iron ore on the river beach, and then carry out simple smelting, of course, the quality of the product can be imagined.

However, it is also a sign of civilization...... The archaeology of that world has proven this.

Most of the local natives now use this method to obtain iron tools, but this production is not to mention.

The riverbed iron ore in this area generally has two colors, the yellow one is generally ferric oxide, and the black-red one is generally ferric oxide.

It is still relatively easy to recognize compared with river sand on the riverbed and beach.

The best way to collect iron ore from the riverbed is to suction the pump and then magnetic separation, however, they do not have it, and can only use the gravity method of the wooden trough.

Wash it with water, and the heavier iron sand will sink down by itself, and the lighter river sand will be washed away.

It's a little lower, but it's better than nothing.

Riverbed iron ore is generally found in estuaries and estuary areas, especially along the eastern coast of the northern part of the stream.

This matter still has to be handed over to Deputy Company Commander Huang Zu to solve.

This wooden trough gravity method still needs manpower to transport river sand to the top of the wooden trough, but they still lack manpower------ Huang Zu, deputy company commander, went out, but did not recruit natives, so this simple manual work can only be solved by his own people.

Deputy Company Commander Huang Zu grinned when he heard this arrangement, he looked at the tall wooden trough he was going to use, and said, "Captain Zhang, how much iron ore can be selected in a day by this wooden trough?!" ”

Zhang Guoan estimated and said: "The best result is to select four or five tons a day, and it depends on whether you find a rich mine area." ”

Deputy Company Commander Huang Zu grinned again and said, "It's so little?!" ”

Zhang Guoan said: "No, when you start to do it, when I send you supplies, I will send you more wooden troughs!" ”

Deputy Company Commander Huang Zu made a request and said, "Then I will use Xiaoliu to beg the prisoners on the island------

"Well, no more than a hundred ------"

Deputy Company Commander Huang Zu said happily: "Being an overseer is better than sifting sand!" ”

The captives on the island of Koryuku also had a heavy job.

Now they keep burning lime, and they have to keep burning sulfuric acid.

Only then will they be able to exchange their supplies back.

Wu Dapeng's previous judgment was correct, none of them dared to run, and they still supervised each other.

Zhang Guoan still followed Wu Dapeng's previous practice, and obviously supplied Yao Mai's group of people better than others.

The advantage of this is that Yao Mai is more attentive.

In their group, since there were no Tatars, the Han became the main force, and those Arab sailors were at the lowest level, and they did all the dirty and tiring work.

Zhang Guoan clearly saw the formation of upper, middle and lower forces on Xiaoliuqiu Island.

This structure is the most conducive to being managed, with stability.

Therefore, he will also strengthen the stability of this structure by providing different supplies.

Of course, he can also extract a part of the people from the middle to prevent a certain level of personnel from being overwhelming.

Deputy Company Commander Huang Zu got the manpower he wanted, but Zhang Guoan still told him seriously that he must find a way to let the natives also work, as long as they are paid normally.

A native who has learned to trade his labor in return can lead a tribe; When a tribe drives, it can lead a region.

In this way, there will definitely be fewer killings in the future!

Zhang Guoan finally wants to go to the Great Song Dynasty again------
