Zhen Ping left Fountain Island.

"This Zhen Ping is a bit interesting." Lin Bei secretly said in his heart, because Lin Bei heard what Zhen Ping meant, these forty big ships were given by Zhen Ping in his name, not in the name of Zhen's family.

This means that Zhen Ping is more optimistic about him, but the Zhen family or Zhen Rong, the head of the Zhen family, is not optimistic, or not the most optimistic, Zhen Rong values the Yuan family more and thinks that Yuan Shao has the best chance to win that position.

"I have to say that Zhen Rong's vision is not very good."

What is Zhen Ping's vision Lin Bei doesn't comment, because Lin Bei himself doesn't dare to believe that he has that ability, but Yuan Shao, Lin Bei dares to be convinced, this guy is really not good, Yuan Shao was so beautiful at the beginning, sitting on the land of Sizhou, but he was defeated in the battle of Guandu, and his character determines his achievements, Yuan Shao is at best only a talent in the history of a state, no matter how high he is, he can't.

"In addition, the Zhen family is not a harmonious group, at least Zhen Ping and Zhen Rong have differences, could it be that Zhen Ping was sent to the South Vietnam border by Zhen Rong? If that's the case, Zhen Ping can be used. ”

The more wealthy the family, the more ruthless the infighting may be, if the real situation is true, then Lin Bei is not surprised at all, Zhen Ping knows the feelings, and knows a lot about the customs and people in various places, he is indeed a talent, if he can, Lin Bei does not mind pulling him to Wanghai City, with the help of the Zhen family's power to find out the news for Wanghai City, and accumulate wealth, but for the time being, Zhen Ping is still loyal to the Zhen family, even if he is a little biased towards Lin Bei, it is impossible to defect, he can only slowly figure it out.

In mid-January, the rice in Wanghaicheng matured again, and this time the yield of rice was not high, perhaps only one-third of the previous yield, although it proved that it was possible to harvest three times a year, but Lin Bei still ordered An Zhongzhi. The next year the paddy is sown only twice, so as not to do more with less.

At this time, the aborigines made a fuss and rebelled, led by the natives of the tribes that were broken by Cui Lan with fire, and the funny thing is that this rebellion was reported by the natives. It was the natives of the Wabo tribe who were the first to be arrested, so this rebellion was brutally suppressed by the Dragon God Army before it was completely launched, and more than 500 natives were killed, and these natives were the ones who were arrested later.

After suppressing this indigenous rebellion, Bian Ji came up with a plan to let the 6,000 natives who already had some sense of belonging to Wanghai City rest for three days, and each meal had meat, and the work became the newly captured more than 3,500 natives, and starved them for three days. Only give some thin porridge every day, hungry to these natives screaming, this kind of difference in treatment comparison, suddenly the aborigines to be completely divided, the first six thousand natives to be captured back to the dragon god is grateful to Dade, but also took on the responsibility of monitoring compatriots, some of the newly captured natives hate the Wanghai people even more, but they transfer this hatred to the aborigines. There are also some who have been honestly corrected this time, and they are eager to learn from their compatriots in front of them. Strive to get closer to Wanghai City.

"Zhongzhi, you tell the sergeants to pay attention, if there are good people among the natives who work very hard, why not promote them and make them overseers. Let the Indigenous people spy on the Indigenous people. Lin Bei mentioned another Jianyì, and An Zhong bluntly said that the adult was wise.

Afterwards, An Zhongzhi asked the sergeants to tell the natives, saying that they would promote some of them to be overseers, so that they would not have to work, and they might be blessed by Lord Ryujin. Make an exception to allow him to join Wanghai City and become a member of the Wanghai people, just a few small profits, which will make the natives crazy, and for a long time, Wanghai City will not have to worry that these natives will rebel again.

This incentive has really stimulated the indigenous people, and they have to work harder and harder.

Wanghai City is still building roads.

From Linbei to this era, the road is built in Xishan Township, and the road is still built when it comes to Wanghai City, and the road is repaired when there is no cement, and the road is built on a large scale when there is cement, and the road is now wider and wider, from the beginning of the five-zhang road to the current seven-zhang road, the reason why it is necessary to repair it so wide, has a lot to do with the rhinoceros incident some time ago.

Some days ago, some rhinoceros began to gather in many sections of Nanshan Road, these rhinos will not take the initiative to attack people, they just like to lie on the road to bask in the sun, even if they are driven away, they will come back, and then not only rhinoceros, but also some bison herds and deer herds actually followed, and even some sergeants reported seeing some crocodile traces, and then there were proboscis beasts also passing by Nanshan Road, annoying not to mention first, some steam car drivers are easy to hit if they do not pay attention, thus causing car accidents

For this matter, everyone still attaches great importance to it, first considering whether to make some wooden fences on the side of the road, and then was vetoed by Lin Bei, with the strength of the wooden fence, it is impossible to stop these tank-like beasts, and finally simply plan to use cement to build a cement wall to block both sides of the road.

Then Lin Bei raised a question, that is, how high should the cement wall be? This question made Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi retreat directly, and they had to admit that at this stage, Wanghai City simply did not have the energy to do such a thankless task, unless Lin Bei ordered the soldiers to kill these beasts, as long as they hunted on a large scale a few times, these beasts would naturally be scared away.

But obviously Lin Bei will not give this kind of order, in Lin Bei's opinion, this is actually a good thing, the storage of the highway zài, attracting the gathering of wild beasts, the number of wild beasts on the road, you can even roughly know the number of wild beasts in the forest, when there are many wild beasts, you can surround and kill more, when there are few wild beasts, hunting will stop for a while, this is much more cost-effective than establishing a beast observation station, so the wild beasts want to come to the road, then give them some space, and make the road a little wider.

In the long run, the width of the road surface of five zhang is definitely not enough, so I simply took this opportunity to build the road wider, so the road became seven zhang, of course, the width of the road surface of Nanshan Road will not change, and the road width of seven zhang wide is from the dense forest transfer station to start repairing.

This time to build the road, the project will be more vast, Lin Bei is preparing to build a road network full of forests in the dense forests on the east and west sides of the Mekong River, and has been extended to the farthest part of the river that Wanghai City can control, that is, Vientiane City, the capital of Myanmar in later generations, the road has not been repaired, Lin Bei has given the names of these two roads, which are Wanjiang East Road. Wanjiang West Road to distinguish the location of these two roads.

These two roads will be used as the main road between Linjiang City and Vientiane City in the future, and the length of each road should be more than two thousand miles, plus the surrounding branch roads, as well as the bridge road connecting the two roads, it is normal to exceed six or seven thousand miles. It may even reach thousands of miles.

This length is impressive, of course, but if the road is built, the benefits are enormous, because it means direct access, and the resources of any part of the forest can be used to any city on the main road through the two main roads, and in the event of war, the two main roads can be quickly supported.

Through the plan to build these two roads, Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi also thoroughly understood the development strategy of Lin Bei. That is, relying on fast traffic to control the jurisdiction, where to hit, the road has to lead.

This strategic policy has become fast and stable under the premise of cement and steam cars, and there are now more than 10,000 natives in Wanghai City, Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi are very careful to calculate, and they are very surprised to find that relying on these natives, these two main roads are expected to be completed within half a year. Together with the road network around the main road, it is not more than six thousand miles long. It's almost all done in about 10 months, which is an amazing speed.

In ten months, a road nearly 10,000 miles long and seven zhang wide was built, and if there were no cement and steam cars, only 10,000 or 20,000 people could be mobilized. And it's still in the forest, and it is estimated that it won't be able to be repaired for hundreds of years, but now, it will be done properly within a year, and the efficiency has increased hundreds of times.

"A year? In just one year, we can have a good road of thousands of miles? "Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi both felt very dreamy.

Lin Bei disagreed. I think this is normal, and this is where to go, not even Dali has arrived, Bangladesh and the country of poison are also far away, if you build them all, you have to at least more than 50,000 miles, and only one-fifth of them are repaired after 10,000 miles, which is far from the goal.

During this period of time when Lin Bei came to Fountain Island, the road repair naturally did not stop, the progress was quite fast, under the enthusiasm of the indigenous people, the cement road of more than 100 miles can be paved every day, which is already the fastest speed, after all, although the cement is simple, but it really can't be made too much, often do a day's work to have to rest for a few days and wait for the cement to be made.

The road had been paved to the Haka tribe, and the two roads had been paved at the same time, almost for nearly a thousand miles, faster than the start of the construction of the Nanshan Road, because there were more steam cars and steam ships, and the transportation capacity became stronger.

Huang Yueying, who Lin Bei values the most, is a little silent during this time, she is still trying to absorb the principle of steam, Lin Bei believes that as long as this girl understands the principle of steam, with her smart brain, she will be stronger than the craftsmen in Wanghai City now.

Time is almost the end of January, Lin Bei has been on Fountain Island for nearly 20 days, on this day, in the craftsman workshop of Wanghai City, a big ship drove out of the dock.

If Lin Bei could see it, he would be able to find that this big ship was at least more than three zhang longer than the previous big ship in Wanghai City, reaching ten zhang, and after being pushed out of the dock by the craftsman and entering the water, the hull of the ship shook a few times and then floated smoothly on the sea.

Ying Yueying lost some weight, her little face lost some luster, her hair was dry, her eyes were bloodshot, and she obviously hadn't rested well for a long time, so she took a small boat to the side of the big boat, circled around the big boat, and muttered in her mouth: "The hull has reached one and a half feet into the water, and it seems that the keel is very heavy with steel, and I don't know if the wooden planks inside can bear this weight, if the bottom of the boat is replaced with steel plates, the weight will increase, do you need to increase the hull?" ”

Huang Yueying came to Wanghai City, first figured out the principle of the steam engine, and then immediately realized the importance of the big ship to Wanghai City, this big ship is Huang Yueying's first work in Wanghai City.

Huang Yueying has certainly not learned about dynamics and water pressure, but the working people of ancient times can summarize the usefulness of this knowledge, and a clever craftsman can know from the subtleties whether the items he made are reasonable or not as long as he looks at them a few times. Huang Yueying is slowly moving towards the peak of the master craftsman. (To be continued......)
