Chapter 112: Winter is coming
On the 201st day of the new calendar, Lin Yue returned to Yuancheng. Long before returning to Yuancheng, someone had already rushed over to report the matter to Lin Yue, so as soon as Lin Yue returned to Yuancheng, he immediately asked Zheng Hai for the details of many things.
After learning the whole story, Lin Yue roughly understood, but in fact, he didn't know Ge Ye as a person, because he had never heard of it in the rain in his previous life.
The development of the world today is completely different from the development of the world in the previous life. Not long after the Great Crossing began, Lin Yue was still able to make a lot of predictions with his knowledge of his previous life, but now it was becoming more and more difficult, because of the occurrence of the butterfly effect, there were many things that Lin Yue had never heard of at all.
But Lin Yue was very concerned about what everyone said about Ge Ye having adopted three ratman cubs before.
Because not long after the Great Crossing began, Lin Yue had caused the three ratman cubs to escape due to negligence, and now speaking of which, the three ratman cubs adopted by Ge Ye are very likely to be the three that Lin Yue let go.
"Can't find them at all now?" Lin Yue asked Zheng Hai.
"It's still searching, but the chances of finding it are very slim!" Zheng Hai said: "I'm worried that after they are released, they will run away to other places and continue to gather the rat people. Lin Yue nodded and said, "I'm also a little worried, but don't worry, although the intelligence of the rat people is good, it is at most equivalent to the level of primitive people." And no matter how many rat people there are in the new world, there will be no more than humans. Ge Ye and a few nezumi want to go to other places to gather nezumi to attack, but they will inevitably be hindered by other forces. This is indeed a good statement, but neither Lin Yue nor Zheng Hai can completely rest assured, after all, this is a great hidden danger.
"If you can search, you can search, if not, then put it down." Lin Yue said: "The person in charge of the rat man knows that we won't let him go, so he should have gone far. Zheng Hai nodded, and after a long pause, Zheng Hai asked Lin Yue: "Now there is another problem, that is, the coexistence with the many forces in N City. Lin Yue was stunned when he heard this, and he reacted after thinking about it for a long time.
"You mean the handling policy in the face of the many forces in N City?" Before Lin Yue left Yuancheng for Yancheng, the handling policy for N City was to deal with it peacefully as much as possible, but any opportunity to enhance exchanges could not be missed.
Therefore, Zheng Hai has been cautiously handling the relationship with the many forces in N City. This incident of the rat people is the biggest opportunity for Yuan Cheng to enhance communication with them.
When Sangzhen was slaughtered, those forces had been asking Yuancheng for assistance, and Yuancheng had already done it and gave them the greatest support.
The encirclement and suppression army of 3,000 people, Yuancheng directly dispatched fifty percent. Now that the rat man incident has passed, what will happen to the attitude of the many forces in N City towards Yuancheng, Zheng Hai can't figure it out for the time being.
They have been trying their best to guard against Yuancheng before, but now they are still on guard, or will there be a change?
"We remain the same, focus on peace, and then seize every opportunity we can to cooperate with them and use cooperation to get them to integrate into us." Lin Yue had also thought of using force to conquer the area of N City before, but if he really did this, he would pay great consequences.
Because in the face of such a big force as Yuanchen, no matter how many grievances there are between most of the forces in N City, they will definitely unite against Yuancheng in order to preserve their power.
Even if Yuancheng succeeds in conquering them all in the end, it will suffer heavy losses. Moreover, the forces after the conquest will not necessarily be completely submissive, and it will take a long period of pacification to stabilize the order.
With these in mind, Lin Yue decided to use a peaceful way to face the many forces in N City. This will not only enhance communication with them and facilitate trade, but also ease the conflict and prevent some desperate forces from sneaking up on the residents of Yuancheng.
"We don't need to acquire more land and people through conquest, but we continue to develop ourselves and be ourselves, so as to attract more forces to ally with us and trade with us." On the second day after Lin Yue returned to Yuancheng, Lin Yue held a meeting in Yancheng to discuss how Yuancheng should develop in the future.
"Military action will no longer be the main theme of Yuancheng, our focus will be on the development of internal affairs, and during this period, we will try our best to make friends with all the forces that can promote the development of our internal affairs, and make deals with them. But if there are forces that deliberately want to endanger the development of our Yuan City, we don't mind using military force to eradicate all threats to Yuan City. At the meeting, Zheng Hai made an important speech.
After setting a general direction for the development of Yuancheng, it is time to discuss the development of many details in Yancheng's internal affairs.
One of the most important points is the study of gunpowder, although Yuancheng has found natural potassium nitrate and sulfur ore in the Yuanshan area, but these quantities are relatively small and are mixed with other ores, which has caused a great obstacle to the purification of saltpeter and sulfur.
Although the relevant knowledge is not a problem at all, the relevant purification instruments are very accurate, and some purification will cause a certain amount of pollution.
So far, the purity of saltpeter and sulfur purified by Yuancheng is not very high, which has caused great trouble for the manufacture of gunpowder.
So far, the gunpowder researched by Yuancheng belongs to the category of crude production, and it is okay to use it to make firecrackers, but if you want to make cannonballs, it is absolutely impossible.
So the study of gunpowder is still in its infancy. In addition to gunpowder, there is another tool that is also being studied, and that is radio communication.
Yuancheng is not like Yancheng, there are some communication soldiers who may conduct research on radio, so Yuancheng is still a step slow to research radio.
But after a certain amount of research, it is not so difficult to make a radio. One of the biggest difficulties is the transmission of signals, because in some vehicles there will be some radio configurations, which can be used to receive signals after modification, and as long as the difficulty of signal transmission is solved, it is not difficult to build radio communication in Yancheng.
Moreover, when Lin Yue came back from Yancheng, he also asked Qiu Chen for a radio transmitter. Therefore, Yuancheng's research progress on radio will be accelerated a lot.
Lin Yue believed that in less than a month, it would not be a problem to establish a radio communication network in Yuancheng.
"Another thing is that the weather is getting colder and colder, which also means that the rice seeds we planted more than half a year ago are almost ready to be harvested!" At the meeting, Lin Yue looked around at everyone and said, "No matter whether the rice we sown is fully ripe or not, it must be harvested quickly." "Less than half a month after the big crossing happened, Lin Yue and they planted most crops such as rice in Yuandong, and now the planting of vegetables has been spread out in Yuancheng, potatoes and sweet potatoes have been harvested not long ago, and now they have been stored, waiting for the seedlings to start in the spring of next year.
After the rice is harvested during this time, it is possible to store all of them in storage and then wait for the spring planting to be planted in the spring of the next year.
The rice harvested now will not be used for food, but will be used as seeds for next year's expansion.
However, the development of the rice planted there in Wondong is not as good as expected, and the rice that has actually been harvested is not as much as previously estimated, but it is still enough as seeds for planting next year.
Once the rice is harvested, it's time to think about how to survive the winter. The seasons of the New World are not very different from those of the Earth, so it is relatively difficult to adapt.
According to Lin Yue's ten years in the New World in his previous life, winter is actually extremely difficult, because the winter in this area will be relatively cold, and they lack cotton clothes and other clothes, so they have to survive the winter.
Especially in the first winter, this is the most difficult, in the previous life, there were many people who froze to death in the winter.
So now Yuancheng must prepare for the winter, so that this winter will not be too difficult. ...
