The winter of 1276 seems to have been a little longer than usual, and there was so much going on this winter that was too chaotic.

In the end, the Great Song Dynasty government launched the battle of Dali------ they bought more "malaria powder" from Liuqiu Island, and Liuqiu Island complied; They also had to buy rockets, artillery and other firearms, and Liuqiu Island still complied.

Fortunately, other business exchanges are still a situation of both purchase and sales.

The most gratifying thing is that Liuqiu Island can hire laborers in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty at will, and the exchanges between people on both sides of the strait are still free, and the paper money issued by Liuqiu Island and the Liuqiu ferry tickets can still be circulated in the Great Song Dynasty.

Liuqiu ferry tickets can be exchanged for gold and silver coins directly in Liuqiu money, and it is cheaper to buy kerosene and sugar, etc., taking advantage of the fact that the Great Song Dynasty government still does not understand the monetary theory, Zhang Island Lord is cheeky to take advantage of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, they felt that the Great Song government had changed a little belligerently, and the families of Zhang Daozhu and Wang Defa were happy and a little worried.

Who knows what kind of tricks they will make after they get bloody!

Jia Laogou is using his interests to divide the forces that overthrow Jia, but who knows if he will betray Liuqiu Island because of his own interests?!

Of course, interest groups will always be there in any era, and at some point, they will certainly short-circuit their brains.

There are two forms of interest groups, one is extremely greedy and has no bottom line, they disregard the people's livelihood, disrupt the market, kill the country, or take refuge in the new master, or run away with money.

The second is limited, will compromise, and know that when the time is right, they will release the water to raise fish.

But I can't put hope on someone else------

The three of them have re-set the hard goal of development, they can no longer develop naturally, they must quickly immigrate, and while completing the development needs of Liuqiu Island, they can quickly develop the Philippine Islands and Borneo Island, even if it is in the form of sprinkling seeds------ of course, the names of these two islands are only understood by the three of them.

In response to the Great Song Dynasty, they greatly increased the wages of hired laborers, gave great favorable conditions to the people whose families came to the island, and gave them small long-term loans with low interest rates!

In the widely advertised column of "Liuqiu Times", he almost said the words "I beg you Great Song people, come to my Liuqiu Island".

As mentioned above, the social welfare of the Great Song Dynasty was the best among all dynasties, and each of their states had residential homes and Anjifang for the poor, sick and homeless, Juzicang and Salesian Bureau for abandoned babies or minors, and Leaky Gardens for the burial of poor and deceased.

The teeth sent by the island of Liuqiu have infiltrated the nursing homes and anjifang in various states and counties to select people who can work, and as long as they can work normally, they will also employ people under the age of fifty.

Of course, what they value most is the Juzicang and the Salesian Bureau, where as long as there are healthy children, both male and female, all of them are adopted at a high price.

Of course, the managers of the Great Song states also like to pay money to adopt human teeth, and they have reduced their burden.

For Korea and Japan, they also stepped up their hiring efforts.

The Goryeo Kingdom has always been in a situation at both ends of the first rat, and they cannot see the result of the battle between the Tatar bandit group and the island of Liuqiu, so they simply do not offend anyone.

They turned a blind eye to the behavior of the people hired by the people of Goryeo.

Due to the fame of the goods on the island, the Goryeo people still have a good impression of it, and there are even some Goryeo laborers or samurai who secretly return to their hometowns to visit their relatives, and they don't know what kind of prosperity the island has blown about.

The situation in Japan was peculiar, as they mainly dealt with the Kankura shogunate and other local lords------ so they could directly hire more Japanese laborers.

However, due to the appearance of Liuqiu Island, it would lead to the early arrival of Japan's Warring States Period, which was not expected by the owner of Zhang.

More on that later.

For Tianzhu and Xilan Island, Liuqiu Island has also increased its employment efforts.

In particular, the human resources in the southern part of the Tianzhu Continent are still relatively abundant, and people can be hired for a small price.

The blacks in the eastern part of the continent, the white slaves captured by the Crusaders, etc., all increased their purchases.

The language barrier on Liuqiu Island is basically not big now.

Zhang did not want to pursue the transformation of Liuqiu Island into an ethnographic exhibition island------ but, in fact, he could not do it.

In this era, for Zhang Islander, manpower is an important productive force.

Even the prisoners captured by the Great Song Dynasty during the attack on Jiaozhi Kingdom, he sent people to find a way to buy them.

Throughout the winter of 1276, the Great Song Dynasty attacked the Dali region wholeheartedly, and the two sides fought happily, but the casualties were not large.

The name of the Great Song Dynasty to launch this war is good, and it is necessary to repeat the Dali Kingdom; There were not many Tatar soldiers left behind in Dali, and the battle mainly relied on the puppet army led by Duan.

It was often the Great Song army that fired a few cannons, and the puppet soldiers ran away, and those Tatar soldiers were often coerced and ran.

The whole situation is in favor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhang Daozhu saw from the newspaper of the Great Song Dynasty that the Great Song army often sang triumphant songs all the way, from one victory to another------ he didn't care about them, and instead concentrated on developing himself.

Zhang Island Master and Wang Defa's family discussed, if the diesel engine can be made, even if it reaches a new stage, Wang Defa's family can go to Borneo to concentrate on development, the Philippine Islands, just concentrate on mining.

However, until the whole winter passed, Wang Defa's family said apologetically: "I really can't do diesel engine and gasoline engine technology, not to mention that the lathe is not precise enough, and I can't do it technically------ if Song Ziqiang can come back, it won't be a problem." ”

The two of them were worried about the pot camel power transport vehicle, this guy is extremely inefficient------ maybe he is a treasure in the eyes of the Great Song people, but in their eyes, it is simply a waste.

The maximum horsepower is twenty-five horsepower, and if the horsepower is larger, there is no cost performance, and the weight itself is too large!

It has a payload capacity of only 500 kilograms!

The top speed is four kilometers per hour!

Zhang Daozhu is far inferior to Wang Defa's family in machining, he comforted his old friend, saying: "As long as it is better than the pot camel machine, its weight is too big!" ”

The two turned to the direction of the gas engine, which is a primary internal combustion engine, which is much smaller than the pot camel engine, and the power output can be larger, and it is not as precise as the diesel engine that relies on compression ignition to start.

The structure of the gas engine is simple.

The engine replaces the steam of the pot camel steam engine with a mixture of gas and air, and uses a battery and an induction coil to generate an electric spark, which ignites the mixture and explodes with an electric spark.

This engine also has cylinders, connecting rods, flywheels, etc., but the slider of the pot camel machine has been changed to a piston.

After proper pressurization tests, this kind of engine is indeed 30 percent more powerful than the pot camel machine, and its dead weight is half lighter.

Hu Zhenbei's face was full of surprise, and said: "I thought that the pot camel machine was already a god, but I didn't expect it, I didn't think of it, there is a better power source than it!" ”

Wang Defa's family had nothing to be happy about, he instructed: "The gas generator and pipes must be closed, the piston and cylinder must be finely processed------ when the operation is started, a bird cage must be hung next to it!" ”

Director Hu Zhenbei nodded hurriedly to show that he understood.

In April 1277, the Great Song Dynasty finally occupied the city of Yang Tho Baa in Dali------ and the Great Song government pretended to accept the so-called Duan descendants' refuge, changed Dali to Dali Road, and the Duan descendants became the lifelong governor of Dali Road.

In April 1277, the population of the island reached more than 700,000.
