When everyone heard that Wu Tianxiao would let all the children go to school, they were elated. Wu Tianxiao continued to explain: "On the south side of the school is the eight-zhang wide East and West Street, and across the East and West Street is a warehouse and private houses. The west side of the school is the North and South Streets, and the North and South Streets are also a granary from the North Gate Iron Yard, and the granary is a reserved vacant land, and some management institutions are ready to be built in the future, such as the council hall to deal with public disputes, and some office space. And then there's the medicine shop......"

Wu Tianxiao's planned pharmacy will have a pharmaceutical workshop, so it is very large. Wu Tianxiao knew from the mobile phone information that loquat can clear the lungs, banlan root can cure typhoid fever, and he also knows that dried longan is a very good tonic. Loquat, banyan root, and longan trees can all be grown on the farm, so prepare to manufacture these medicinal supplements in batches in a pharmaceutical workshop.

To the south of the granary is a square, which covers a wide area and is paved with bricks, and each village will have a square in the center of the village. The square can be used as a gathering place for discussions, and it can be used as a threshing field. There is a newspaper reading booth on the side of the square, which is equivalent to a storytelling stop, which will be used to promote news and notices to the public. More importantly, it will serve as a place to spread Wu Tianxiao's nationalist patriotic thoughts. To the south of the square is the largest building complex in Tamsui City, the Gunpowder Match Workshop.

On the west side of the medicine shop, it is the north-south left road. On the north side of the north-south left road are large grass huts stacked with various mineral materials, and there are two large workshops reserved for the construction of a brewery and a vegetable processing plant. The brewery must be built because Dongfan Island has abundant agricultural resources, and the grain production will be very high in the future. Once there is a surplus of grain, it can be used to make wine, and the distillation technique can be used to refine the alcohol. Alcohol is the best choice for disinfection and wound cleaning. In the future, if there are more fights, there will be more wounded, so alcohol, the best disinfectant, is naturally indispensable.

And the vegetable processing plant is also very necessary to build. In long-distance sailing, the crew needs to replenish their body with plant fiber to prevent septicaemia, and the use of vegetables is very necessary. In this day and age, it's normal for a long voyage to be as little as a few days or as long as a whole month. Therefore, dried radishes and pickles that can be stored for a long time are indispensable materials for the crew. Although it is also possible to soak mung beans in fresh water to obtain bean sprouts, one more option is one more to rely on. Therefore, vegetable processing plants must also be built. At this time, a large number of local crops and various vegetables have been planted in the hills of Wujiazhai, so there is no shortage of materials. Later, there were two more rows of houses and shops on both sides of East and West Streets. Finally, there is a reserved empty workshop and a warehouse of refined concentrate raw materials. For example, wrought iron, copper metal warehouse, sulfur warehouse, etc.

The line of defense from the north gate to the west gate is still a three-meter-high tree sharpening the siege wooden fence, and there is also an arrow tower every 100 steps, and the outside of the wooden fence is defended one after another with horses and rejection groups. Because the northwest side is a mountain forest, the one-zhang wide horse is dug a trap and buried wooden thorns. A hundred-pace-wide clearing will be cut down to prevent the view from being blocked.

The line from the west gate to the south gate is connected to the Tamsui River, and the defense is still to sharpen the wooden fence of the city with three-meter-high trees, and there is also an arrow tower every 100 steps. Outside the wooden fence, it is also defended by horses, and outside the horses, there is a natural freshwater river bank that has not been built, and it is difficult to walk. Towers are built on this line, and their greater role is not to be a vigilance, but to observe the situation on the surface of the Tamsui River.

Within Freshwater City, each street is flanked by two-foot-wide and two-foot-deep gutters that lead directly to the Tamsui River. And in order to prevent flooding, each house will be two feet above the road, and each house will have four steps. From the west gate, there is a small road leading directly to the south gate of Guanhai Village, and the west gate of Guanhai Village leads to the lighthouse, and there is a large salt field on the north side of the lighthouse.

Everyone looked at the plan and praised it again and again. Najia Youshi asked again: "It's really well planned." Is it too wide to be a street that is only eight or five feet wide? ”

Wu Tianxiao came to later generations, and naturally knew that the city would be easy to expand under the great development, but it would be troublesome to demolish and widen the streets when the time came. It's better to reserve a wider one now. So he smiled and said, "It's not troublesome." In the future, this freshwater city will prosper, and this width is still a little small. Now we will reserve a wider one, first, to make the road smooth, and second, to avoid the trouble of demolition in the future. Then there are the houses in the city, and in order to make it easier to record, each house has to write the street number. One house with one number, which street? Which way? Which number? In this way, it is easy to record. ”

Shen Cheng also asked: "It takes a long time to build on such a scale, which part should be built first?" ”

Wu Tianxiao said: "We urgently need ships now, so the shipyard and the ironyard should be built first. The second is to put up the fence first, firstly for safety, and secondly to prevent harassment by wild animals. ”

Then they took a long deliberative time. Due to the large amount of timber hoarded in Wujiazhai at this time, the shipyard and fence could be built quickly. And because of the urgent need for ships, it was finally decided that after the shipyard was completed, Shen Cheng would first build three two or three hundred sloops for Sanzhai to use, and then renovate four other sea ships. After the completion of the renovation of seagoing vessels, we will continue to build three ferry ships with a single mast of 3 to 400 materials, and finally consider continuing to build seagoing ships with sealed cabins of more than 2,000 materials. Therefore, Shen Cheng's task is very heavy, and basically the shipbuilding order has been arranged until the end of next year. As for the wood used in shipbuilding, it will be processed from now on. And the sea vessels will not be built until the end of next year, when the processed wood will be ready for use. Even if the wood is not enough, you can still transport the new wood to Daming to buy and exchange with the timber dealer.

In the following time, because enough supplies had been hoarded, the number of trips to and from Zhoushan was set twice a month, and Jia Youshi, Wu Dayou, Jiang Zhuang and others took turns driving the Tamsui back and forth.

Before the arrival of the Spring Festival, the preliminary outline of Tamsui City has been completed. Wu Tianxiao opened a warehouse to make everyone in Tamsui City eat and drink, and gave everyone a festival fee of one or two silver, and the person in charge of the belt was less than ten taels and more than one hundred taels. and asked Jia Yuan to send gifts to Chen Qianhe, Tang Xianyao and others.

At this time, Jia Yuan and Lu Zheng were basically in charge of Zhoushan's affairs, and Wu Tianxiao was mainly in Dongfan Island. Twice a month, the ships went to Zhoushan to deliver matches and furs, and when they returned, they brought with them all kinds of supplies that Wu Tianxiao had asked Jia Yuan to procure. As for how Jia Yuan dealt with the Ming officials, Wu Tianxiao was too lazy to care, and when there was something, he exchanged letters to discuss. However, due to the lack of stability in the defense measures of Tamsui City, everyone did not dare to be careless, and everyone began to be busy again in the third year of junior high school. At the end of January, shipbuilders will be able to start building ships. Early February. The ironworks also opened furnaces for smelting, and small-scale copper mining began.

Because Wu Tianxiao purchased a lot of materials from Daming, including iron ingots. As soon as the blacksmith opened, weapons such as spearheads and swords began to be crafted. And in order to have the function of alarming at night, Wu Tianxiao also asked Zhu Guoxiong to build four bronze bells, which were hung in the center of each walled city to set alarm bells and long bell notices. The rapid sound of the alarm bell indicates that there is an enemy attack, and the long bell indicates that something is coming, so that it can act as an alarm at night and can also call everyone together when something happens. Wolf smoke and alarm bells have become two ways to guard Tamsui City.

The completion of the blacksmith can make many copper and iron tools. Therefore, Wu Tianxiao asked Shen Cheng to install three two-meter-long ramming angles on the bow of the Tamsui, and each ramming angle was wrapped with copper three feet long and five miles thick. The bow sail was hung up, and a large piece of copper armor was nailed to the hull of the ramming corner for protection. He also stated that all seagoing ships built in the future were prepared to have this kind of equipment and develop in the form of armed merchant ships. With ramming angles it is possible to ram enemy ships, while the bow sail increases the vessel's steering speed. If iron plates are added to important parts, or even artillery is installed, it will be a sea force that cannot be ignored. Half-warship, half-merchant ship, this kind of armed merchant ship will be the trend of this era.
