The second report from the logistics department was sent to Yang Wenli on the way to Sapporo, which was just a necessary procedure, and Yang Wenli was not familiar with the situation of the troops, and there were three countersignatures from the commanders of the troops, so he made a royal approval without saying a word: he was allowed to play, and he summoned the clerks to seal it, and this roster of officers would have legal effect.

The procession was quite large, men, women, and children, all on foot, and the march was surprisingly slow, like a snail crawling.

After more than ten or twenty days of recuperation, everyone's discomfort has already been recuperated, everyone is full of energy, and they are talking loudly along the way.

The topic of building a capital city is very large, and everyone expresses their opinions and says how it should be, and one by one seems to have become amateur planners.

Also, when we arrive in Sapporo, everyone is about to open up the wasteland and farm, and some people are also concerned about what to plant this year, and there will be a little harvest.

There is also a team that moved north, went all the way, took the sea route north to Sapporo, that is, the huge sailor team of the Black Armor Army, among which there were more than 20 shipowners, they originally wanted to return to the Central Plains, Yang Wenli also agreed, and also promised to send warships to escort them, but because the road was too far, many people died on the way to come, and they were afraid, because they had family members on the same ship, and they did not dare to compensate for the taste of long-distance sailing, so they had to go north again.

"Wow! Daddy, you see, there are a lot of fish, and they can be sent out as soon as they go down the net. The young son of a shipowner pointed to the schools of fish in the sea and said to him.

The shipowner didn't answer, but stroked his long beard, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and nodded in acknowledgement, this place is indeed a heaven-sent treasure place for recuperation, at least there is no need to worry about hunger.

Indeed, the Hokkaido fishing grounds were one of the top few important fishing grounds in the world in later generations, and in this era, Hokkaido can be said to be uninhabited, and this fish is more perverted, dense, and people with dense phobia will definitely have a numb scalp when they see it.

No matter how slow, the two places were so close that after three days of long-distance travel, the army of migrants arrived in Sapporo.

Yang Rentian led the commanders of all units to collectively welcome Yang Wenli's arrival. They don't have to kneel down to greet them when they have armor on them, they just have to bow down to greet them.

"Greetings to His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness! Long live your majesty, long live, long live! Queen Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

"No courtesy, flat!" Yang Wenli stretched out his hand to support him, and said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers gave another salute and thanked them before they straightened up.

"Rentian, is it difficult to fight the Ainu?" After the ceremony, Yang Wenli asked the lord Yang Rentiandao.

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't find it difficult, the equipment of the Ainu people is too backward, and they can't break the armor protection of our soldiers at all, and the strength of the melee combat is inferior to our army, so the soldiers will use the round shield to smash their heads and finish the matter, it's very simple."

"Hahahaha! This is really one thing to one thing, and the Ainu people, whom the Japanese fear like tigers, are so vulnerable? I'm afraid it's too much! ”

"No, Your Majesty, the Ainu people still have their merits, they are short and strong, and their strength is not small, that is, they are not as good as my black armor army, they are better than other races, and they are all good at shooting, and they can also ride horses, they are indeed the best source of soldiers in our army, but they are not able to understand the language, and they are not very good at carrying out military education and training."

"Hmmm! This is a problem, so we can only teach Chinese while training, take our time, and concentrate on teaching if the translation is not enough, and always come up with a solution! ”

"Your Majesty's lesson is that the ministers will do as they are told."

After gossiping, Yang Wenli brought up the matter and said: "Our army must conquer the entire Ezo Island this year, the task is not light, let Renxuan lead the troops to stay here to train, Rentian, you continue to lead the main force to conquer the rest of the Ainu tribes." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister also knows the seriousness of the matter, but there are too many prisoners, and the minister is afraid that Renxuan and they only have more than a hundred people, and they can't do it, so they want to wait for Your Majesty's army to arrive before setting off."

"Hmmm! You're right, now that the army has arrived, leave the job of escorting the captives to Renxuan and Renhong! As for the many Ainu people, leave it to the government department! They are just civilians, and it is too wasteful to guard them with troops. ”

"Obey the order!" Yang Rentian immediately bowed and promised.

……

After Yang Rentian handed over the prisoners to various departments, he led his troops north on the same day, but the large army that had just arrived in Sapporo had to set up camp, and the day passed so busy.

The next day, Yang Wenli held the first construction meeting in Sapporo in the marching tent, and there were not many participants, except for the three chief officials of the government department, only Wang Rucheng was the attendant, to say that the entire black armor army, and Yang Wenli was the most with Wang Rucheng, he was Yang Wenli's scientific assistant, and he couldn't leave for a moment.

After some etiquette, everyone knelt on the left and right, supplemented by thick blankets on the ground, and there were no chairs, only kneeling and sitting cross-legged, but because Yang Wenli sat cross-legged, the courtiers all learned to kneel and sit in the Japanese for respect.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the task of building the capital is huge and arduous, not overnight, and it is related to the long-term development of future generations, and the lonely people are divided into two parts, those who have land or their slaves still mainly go to open up the wasteland and farm, and the remaining common people lead the newly captive Ainu to carry out the previous work of urban construction, such as burning bricks and lime, storing timber, mining stones, paving bridges and roads, etc., while a few of us mainly plan the construction of the city.

Ladies and gentlemen, we should not only look at the immediate situation, but also take a long-term view and anticipate what the situation will be like in a hundred years.

The construction of some infrastructure projects must be regarded as a century-old plan, such as: roads, sewers, flood control levees, etc.

To carry out such a large project, must use binders, we in China generally use Sanhe soil or higher grade glutinous rice soil, glutinous rice soil is too high-grade, the cost is too high, not suitable for large-scale engineering construction, but the adhesion of Sanhe soil is not very good, I thought of a good adhesive material, I call it cement.

Cement is made of limestone, clay, gypsum, slag or pozzola and other materials, mixed in a certain proportion, grinding, calcined at high temperature, and then cooled and stood for a period of time, the new building materials made, its advantage is that it is convenient and easy to use, add water and mix some sand and gravel can be used, and durable and strong, relatively cheap, our only difficulty is how to grind it, the quality of cement and the fineness of grinding also has a lot to do, is the finer the better, to be as fine as the gray surface, slippery to start.

This work is in charge of Ru Cheng, you remember, Lone only knows all kinds of materials, but the proportion, as well as the calcination heat, grinding method, Lone doesn't know, this depends on you to lead your men to experiment.

In addition, the tiles are still only glazed tiles, and the green tiles are not durable, and they often have to be renovated, and the time and money spent may be more expensive than burning the glazed tiles.

There are still windows that still have to be made of glass, and this Rucheng is also relatively clear, and you are also responsible for firing.

Besides, we are here, just a temporary residence, and we will eventually have to return to the Central Plains, so we don't plan to build the city wall, so we will build it as an ordinary town.
