But after turning around the street, Pang Yu realized that he was happy early. Textbooks do state that brick houses have become popular, but Hainan is clearly behind the times - most of the houses here are still closer to the Song Dynasty, and are still dominated by wood, bone and mud walls. The load-bearing elements are made of wooden columns, while the dividing elements, the walls, are mostly made of branches to form a fence and then plastered with earth.
There are also houses on stilts in the style of ethnic minorities, made of bamboo, which look quite lightweight, insulated from moisture and heat. Pang Yu plans to follow suit when he has time, but the locals are used to keeping pigs in the space below the floor slab, and God knows how they can stand the smell.
The city is very small, and it will come to an end if you go around casually, and it seems that except for the county yamen, the county warehouse, and the Confucian Temple, there are no brick houses in the whole county. The county warehouse is living by itself and plans to strengthen it, and the county Yawen Temple does not seem to be easy to demolish, Pang Yu does not want to cause public anger because of a toilet.
When he finally walked to the city gate, Pang Yu finally found what he wanted - city wall bricks! Although most of the city walls in Lingao County are adobe structures, in the section near the city gate, the walls are still covered with some masonry.
"It's decided, there's really no way to demolish the city wall, no one should stop it......"
Of course, the gates are long gone, and the fragments of the wooden fence that were knocked down by the Humvee are still scattered in the gates, and there are still a few native soldiers guarding the gates, as if in ancient times they had to pay for entering the city. However, since the arrival of the crossers, they have to go in and out of the city gate dozens of times a day, and every time the soldiers at the gate see them, they have fled far away, and now the city gate is simply unguarded.
After leaving the city, he found a kiln, which was near the southern suburbs of the county. It is mainly used to make pottery and pottery. However, Pang Yu also saw that there were fired finished bricks. There are not many of them, the specifications and sizes are very messy, and some of them are obviously city bricks and tomb bricks, but it doesn't matter, just know that bricks can be burned here.
How to get these bricks didn't have to worry about Pang Yu - he went back just to say hello to Tang Jian, and without saying a word, these two took the group of howling little guys who had been drilled these days, and pushed two flatbed trucks out. It didn't take long for two carts of messy bricks to be dragged back, and even the tomb bricks were not spared, and it seemed that the inventory at the kiln mouth had been emptied.
Of course, Xie Xi Yan said that they definitely didn't engage in the Japanese devils, and they paid for these bricks, how much did they pay? A dollar - a shiny one-dollar coin brought from modern times.
However, Pang Yu was very unkind to guess that most of the people were willing to sell it not because of coins, but because of the bright bayonet on Tang Jian's Type 5 or 6 semi-automatic rifle - these guys specially got on the gun and ran to buy things, and they knew at a glance that they had bad intentions.
In fact, on the first day of crossing the crowd, he killed so many people, and even robbed the warehouse, even if he grabbed another car of bricks, what would it do? I want to play the trick of red and white face...... Pang Yu was a little unimpressed, but Xie Xi was very excited, saying that this was the second successful step in communicating with the locals, and he would not be able to pour cold water.
The problem of bricks is solved, and the plaster is relatively much simpler - find some clean limestone, smash it and burn it thoroughly, and it will be quicklime. Mixed with sand in proportion, it is the standard cement mortar. As for the limestone...... Just found a vein.
Comrade Huang Jiancheng, a technician, returned to the camp two days ago, and he and several comrades familiar with exploration and mapping conducted a general survey of the mining resources around Lingao County. Although there is a copy of the "National Provincial Mineral Resources Planning Atlas" in the hands of the traverser, the latest edition of 07 years introduces in detail the important mineral resources throughout the country. But when it comes to the small place of Lingao County, it is still necessary for manpower to explore and understand it personally.
Pyrite, limestone, miscanthus, coal...... The young man named Shu Zhong in the exploration team was full of excitement, and took out one piece of ore after another from the specimen bag, Lingao County is really a place rich in mineral resources. Although the mineral resources are not large, at least it is enough to meet the initial development.
"Everything is there......"
Huang Jiancheng was fascinated by the iron ore, and the all-important coal, which had ore and fuel, and he was finally able to do his job as an excellent technician at Shanghai Baosteel.
"What shouldn't be there is still no ......"
Xie was disappointed to note that there was no saltpeter in the ore specimens, which meant that the main raw material for the production of explosives, which was currently crucial, was still lacking. Before finding high-quality saltpeter mines, they had to continue to rely on compost** to obtain soil nitrate, which was inefficient and devastating to people's noses.
"We'll keep looking, saltpeter isn't a rare mine, it's everywhere in the country."
Shu Zhong knew what Xie Xi was thinking, and comforted him very understandingly. This young man majoring in mineral and oil and gas exploration has been running all over the world since he started working, and he is very suitable for drilling deep in the mountains and old forests. It has been more than a month since everyone came to the Ming Dynasty, and he has been in the city for no more than ten days, and most of the rest of the time is soaked in the wilderness.
"Know...... Thank you for your hard work......"
Xie Xi nodded to him in thanks, and then shouted outside:
"Chemistry team, come in and identify the ore, you can get to work!"
…………
The veins have been found, but coal mining is an authentic hard work, although these minerals are basically in the open air and there is no danger, but it is still too wasteful to let modern white-collar workers do such things as miners.
It was almost time to use the captive laborers.
The captives had been raised for more than twenty days, and some of the minor injuries had almost healed. As for the seriously wounded, with the medical conditions of this era, the seriously injured basically did not survive. Even if there are modern doctors to help with the rescue, it is useless without modern drugs.
In the past 20 days, they have had to fight almost every day, and Ade, who is in charge of managing them, will certainly not stop it, but will intentionally or unintentionally add fuel to the fire. In Ade's words - if these people are huddled together, then we are in danger ourselves.
Now in the captive ranks, the pirate faction and the government army faction have been completely opposed, and both factions see each other as mortal enemies, and they have a good opinion of the people who manage them. It is no wonder that the traversers treat the captives with modern humanitarian ideas, treat the wounded, and eat a little less and the quality is not bad, basically the traversers eat whatever the captives eat.
This equal treatment almost caused chaos on the first day, and when the captives saw that the staple food they were given was actually white rice, they were immediately agitated. Many put on a desperate posture, but scared Huang Xiaodong, who delivered food to them.
Later, Wang Haiyang and others rushed in with big guns to calm down the situation, but when they asked the reason carefully, they couldn't laugh or cry -- these people could only eat white rice during the New Year's holidays in the original place where they lived, and they usually nibbled on bran cakes. When I saw that the guards actually gave them white rice, I thought it was a severed head meal.
"**, didn't you make multigrain rice?"
Pang Yu is actually very meticulous and has taken care of this matter. He didn't think about anything else, but he felt that he couldn't let the captives eat too well at first, lest Ade would have no means to trap them later. As a result, when they traced down to the kitchen, Chef Li was very aggrieved and told them that the multigrain rice had been eaten by our own people, and there was only white rice left......
So I won't be too lazy to treat it differently in the future, it's not that there is no rice bran in the hands of the traversal, but I really want to give people the bran to eat, not to mention anything else, Jack, a foreigner, can't pass this level. Although this old man has been in Iraq, and everyone usually says that he must have participated in the mistreatment of prisoners, his strong humanitarian spirit is quite admirable when it comes to real problems.
In addition to being spiritually appeased, in terms of ideological transformation, the masses have also deeply inherited the consistent specialty and means of a certain party. In the future, as laborers, these captives will definitely have to communicate with the traversers, and in order to communicate, they must first be able to communicate with each other, right? But Hainan is a place with different tones, not to mention the captives and guards, even these captives may not be able to understand each other's words. In the ears of modern people, they speak like birds, and even locals such as Huang Xiaodong and Ye Mengyan are difficult to understand.
The traversers come from all over the world, and they don't have any language talent, and there is no hope for them to learn the local dialect of Hainan in this life, but people must have reverse thinking, right? Modern people can't speak the local language, so can't these Ming Dynasty natives learn to speak the modern language? Mandarin, as the standard Chinese promoted by the state, should be a relatively acceptable language. Robinson alone can teach Friday to speak English, so why can't so many of us teach a few Hainan indigenous Mandarin?
When Pang Yu proposed this idea at an internal meeting, it really thundered a group of people. Everyone thought it was unbelievable at first, but when you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense.
"And who's going to teach them to speak, yourself?"
Ling Ning asked with a smile, now the principle of "whoever mentions it will implement" is basically implemented among their group of people, if anyone thinks that they can do something, no problem, you just let it go - as long as you have the ability to move others to help, otherwise you can go it alone.
However, Pang Yu obviously had a plan. When he was sorting out the supplies, he made a special investigation: among the group of travelers, including himself, there were about 20 people with laptops, and there was a recreation room on the ship, which contained many DVDs, plus a projector, and a large white cloth for a screen, wouldn't this be a good movie theater.
"Movie for the captives?"
Once again, everyone was struck by the architect's unbelievable mind, and how strange ideas came true.
But in the end, this mention yì still got a tongguò, and it was nothing if it failed anyway.
Pang Yu put a lot of thought into the choice of the first film, to be able to give the group of soil buns a big enough shock, to fully mobilize their enthusiasm for learning Mandarin, and preferably to make them feel awe of the crossing crowd...... The conditions are quite demanding, but he just has a film on hand that fully meets this requirement.
"The City is Full of Golden Armor"! Director Zhang Da's masterpiece, there is nothing to say about the visual and color effects, although the plot is a little older from the perspective of modern people, but those captives must not have watched "Thunderstorm", so there is no need to worry about them applauding. And some of the elements involved in this one: imperial power, father and son, man and woman, intrigue and betrayal, and of course, the famous deep cleavage...... What will be the consequences of putting these things in the Ming Dynasty to see? Even the lowest level of soldiers and pirates, Pang Yu was curious about their reactions.
