Chapter 138: Building the Island of Java

The situation on Java Island made Ming Jian very relieved, and the arrival of the Han people was bound to turn the entire Java Island into the power of the Great Song Dynasty.

All 5,000 Han Chinese were formed into an army, first adapted to the local climate, and then began high-intensity jungle combat training. This place is still hot in December, very hot and humid, and occasionally it rains, and it doesn't take long to get hot again.

When the Han people first arrived, they were really a little uncomfortable at first, but these people have lived in Lingnan for so long, and they can still resist this hot and humid climate, at least very few of them are physically ill.

Ming Jian personally formulated the infantry drill code.

The main thing is to train them in accordance with the characteristics of the modern army, and to cultivate in them the spirit of being able to endure hardships, strictly observe discipline, and the inertia of fighting in a coordinated manner.

Insist on queue training and field training every day, although it is not as exaggerated as in the show of survival in the wild, but it is not bad.

Ming Jian believes that as long as he persists, he can create an iron army, and in this way, it will be very advantageous, and such an army will be more than enough to deal with the savages.

This place is not suitable for cavalry, but Ming Jian still drew out 500 people to form an elephant cavalry, elephants are huge, and the lethality of charging is very large, and there are many elephants domesticated by humans.

The army was quickly formed, which made Zhao Tianba also ready to move and become a unified king of Java, which was Zhao Tianba's greatest wish.

However, Ming Jian told him to calm down, and it was best to induce other tribes to attack, consume the living strength of other tribes, and then counterattack in a big way.

Zhao Tianba followed Ming Jian's advice, and he began to send rumors that the Javanese tribe had received a huge fortune.

Although the news spread, there was still no movement, and we could only wait. It is estimated that there are very few men in each tribe, and everyone will not be able to gather people to fight for a while, although there is the temptation of huge wealth, but the heart is more than enough and the strength is insufficient, which is also very pitiful.

While training the army, some Han Chinese habits also began to be implemented in the Javanese tribes.

Farming had to begin, and the Javanese tribal-occupied areas began to reclaim wasteland, burn forests, and establish villages.

Only in this way can the locals be transformed into a force. At first, the locals were confused, but not everyone was stupid, and within a few days, some people figured it out and started working actively.

Subtly, the thinking of the local people changed very much, and they saw the hope of a new life, and everyone began to work hard.

The wild fruit trees on the mountain have also been transplanted to the specified places in large quantities, Southeast Asia has a hot climate, there are many fruit trees, there are many bananas, pineapples, coconuts, mangoes, etc., as well as coffee trees, these things are planted intensively, which can form an industrial chain.

Animal husbandry has also been taken seriously, and livestock pens have been built to keep bison and other animals that have been caught in captivity, and they will gradually become domestic animals.

Of course, with the help of the army, the success rate of hunting this thing is still very high, and in just half a month, the number of bison in captivity has exceeded 1,000, not including other small animals.

This also made the relationship between the military and the people harmonious, the Han people brought by Ming Jian are all men, and men naturally need women, and the Han people are good-looking, which is too attractive to local women.

In addition, there are too many leftover women, which makes married life simpler, and it is considered that a Han man marries three local Javanese women, and some even marry more than a dozen.

Ethnic integration, this is the basic strategy of the Ming Sword, the strong blood of the Han people, the strength of the genes, enough to melt the locals.

However, this is also a long process, and it cannot be completed in a year or two.

At the same time, the construction of the capital of Java was also put on the agenda, and it was not possible to live in a cottage, and in order to become a strong country and a great country, Java must build a large capital.

Zhao Tianba gave an order, and all the local men were called together to build the capital of Java, which was still in accordance with the system of remuneration according to work, but the salary could not be paid according to the standards of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the local men are still very happy, they can eat enough and have money to take, that is definitely a good thing, the food from the Great Song Dynasty makes them like it very much, and the clothes from the Great Song Dynasty also make them very satisfied, with clothes to wear, the body always has to be more comfortable, saying that although the bark and leaves are original, but see too much, it is still very dazzling.

Ming Jian liked the seaside, so he suggested that Zhao Tianba build the capital by the sea.

Zhao Tianba naturally obeyed his words, and a Javanese capital city with a length and width of 3,000 meters and a height of about 15 meters began to be built by the sea, and the main structure was just behind the wharf.

The walls are mainly made of stones, and there are still stones in this Java island, and huge stones are dragged to the construction site by the locals with logs, and then piled up piece by piece.

And in the process of searching for stone mines, several iron mines and a gold mine were also discovered.

This is definitely great news for the state of Java, which means that the country can establish its own industry.

Ming Jian ordered heavy troops to protect the iron and gold mines before mining and smelting began, and the progress of mining was slow due to the shortage of manpower. It's just that Mingjian is not in a hurry, and the slow construction of this place is also in time, although the pace of the Great Song Dynasty is very fast, but it is impossible to completely stabilize the country without ten years.

Ten years later, the island of Java was naturally developed.

The quality of the iron smelted is not bad, and the quality of the weapons created by Ming Jian tried to receive it in the system arsenal has also passed.

It is very large in consumption, and it takes 50 kilograms of steel to build a simple knife. Therefore, Ming Jian felt that it was better to let the Javanese build it themselves, the consumption would be smaller, and such a weapon would be enough to deal with others.

Weapon building is secondary, farm tools building is the top priority, from the Great Song Dynasty brought farm tools down, it is no longer enough, so the smelter next to the construction of a processing plant, specializing in the production of all kinds of farm tools.

With the guidance of the Han people, the models of various farm tools were quickly released, and the next thing was logical.

The fineness of the gold is also quite sufficient, and Ming Jian simply asked Zhao Tianba to build a mint to turn gold into gold coins, and build them according to the face value of 1 wen, 5 wen, 1 tael, 5 taels, 10 taels and 100 taels, and the monetary system of Java was also determined.

The population of Java is now small, and the circulation of gold coins can meet the demand, and when the population increases, other materials of currency will be added.

With this system, it can facilitate people's circulation, which is very helpful for social and economic development.

Ming Jian also thought that after going back, it was time for the Great Song Dynasty to implement monetary reform, using gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins with paper money, which is a monetary system in line with modern society, and under the condition that anti-counterfeiting technology cannot reach modern society, gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins should occupy a major position.

Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, Ming Jian received a notice from the system again.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the task red envelope: successfully recovered the three northern towns, now reward three red envelopes, please pay attention to the host!"
