In just one morning, this vacant land has been piled up with timber, Jiang Quan looked at all this in amazement, Lin Jue was also taken aback by this efficiency, the original blank site is now more like a timber wholesale market.

The rest of the soldiers worked here to process the timber that had been transported, holding saws in both hands, sawing the logs in the middle and splitting them in half. These half-sawn timbers, the smooth side can be used for flooring. In order to speed up the construction speed, it can only be roughed like this at present.

"Well, it was still not planned. Lin Jue said helplessly: "I feel like this is a waste of wood, but unfortunately there are no bricks here." ”

Jiang Quan sighed with emotion: "If all this timber is used for shipbuilding, it seems that it will not be as difficult to form a fleet in three years as imagined." ”

The first use of the wood was to build docks and warehouses to empty the ships of supplies. With the help of all the soldiers, it only took one day to complete the task. Don't look at the crooked images drawn by these planners, but the pier that was personally supervised and supervised is very rigorous. Lin Jue was very curious now, how they could understand the crooked lines they drewn.

When the wharf and warehouse were completed, construction began on the houses where the first settlers lived. Due to material constraints and in order to speed up construction, all houses will be built in a uniform style, with the exception of some buildings with special functions, which are double-storey wooden buildings, neatly arranged along the planned streets.

Soon, a month is about to pass, the small wooden building has covered a large piece of land, the villagers who were still alive under the attack of wolves in Duer Village have joined this colony, and at the same time, there are some immigrants from other countries who have come here one after another, there is already the scale of a small port city, in addition to the nearly 4,000 immigrants brought by Lin Jue, there are more than 100 immigrants who have joined one after another.

Small cities are beginning to take shape, and some of the governing bodies in them naturally need to be established in a timely manner, the most important of which is the governor's palace.

In Lin Jue's planning, the Governor's Office of the Ollante Kingdom in the Eastern Continent is the largest administrative body in the entire colony, Lin Jue has been appointed to the position of Governor, and Lin Jue is responsible for all military and political affairs of the entire Orlante Kingdom in the Eastern Continent.

The second is the War Department, Bi Fang, who followed Lin Jue to come, naturally served as the commander of the War Department, although there are only 3,000 soldiers available for deployment at present.

At present, there are only two institutions in the colony, after all, there are not many people here, and they are enough for the time being. Other institutions are on the agenda and will not be established until the second group of immigrants arrives. The second group of immigrants are all ordinary people, and they should be halfway to the Eastern Continent at this time.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the vacant room is now large enough to accommodate the second group of immigrants. Bi Fang said to Lin Jue with the information in his hand. Due to the establishment of the Governor's Palace, Lin Jue already had an official position, and his title was naturally changed.

Lin Jue rubbed his sore shoulders, this period of time was the day when the colony had just been established, and the construction of various large-scale construction projects and the establishment of the Governor's Mansion took him a lot of effort.

"It's not been an easy month. Fortunately, all development is on the right track, so I will personally go to Dawning City early tomorrow morning. The second batch of migrants arranged in Oasis City is estimated to arrive in half a month, and a permanent office must be arranged in Twilight City to receive the transfer of migrants. ”

Lin Jue couldn't wait to go to Dawning City now, not only to register the newly established colony, but also to dig up a few brick-making craftsmen in the past. All the houses built in the colony are now made of wood, and it is nothing that the colony has just been established, there are enough materials and the construction speed is fast, and the building can be started quickly without waiting for the building binder to form.

However, if the forests around this area are cut down in the future, what will be used for shipbuilding in the future? The key point is that most of the buildings in the Orlante Kingdom are made of large stones or clay bricks, and there is no brick craftsman in the original contingent of immigrants.

Lin Jue stood up straight, stretched his waist, and said to Bi Fang: "Bi Fang, during the time I went to Dawn City, I will leave it to you here." The construction speed of the house can be delayed, remember to dock with Jiangquan and build the dock as soon as possible. ”

Lin Jue naturally doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the colony, a city mainly established by the army, which can be said to be prohibited, and everything operates with great efficiency. Lin Jue was sure that even if he wasn't there, the city would be able to operate normally in its current state.

Early the next morning, the ship to Dawning City was ready. There weren't many people who went, and there were a dozen or so staff members who needed to be stationed in Dawning City, and in addition, it was Phoenix, Lin Yue, and Gloria and her direct subordinates.

What made Lin Jue a little depressed was that there were many logs piled up in the cabin that had been emptied. The reason is that the draft of the ship itself is not enough, and without these log ballasts, it is easy to capsize. Lin Jue saw this situation, and at this time he began to consider a problem, that is, the future trade between the Eastern Continent and the Central Continent.

The newly established colonies in the Eastern Continent naturally lack everything, and all materials are needed, and they can be pulled over one by one without any scruples. But what should I do when I go back? First, there is not enough cargo ballast, and second, I can't import everything and pull nothing back, right?

Now I can still transport wood, but wood is not worth a few dollars, and the days when there is no wood in the Kingdom of Orlante have passed for hundreds of years, and a large amount of wood may not be needed in the future, so it is not a long-term solution.

"I have to think about it, in fact, I can refer to the infamous Black Triangle trade, when navigators transported processed industrial products from Europe, went to Africa to trade slaves, and then transported slaves to the Americas in exchange for gold and silver mines, cotton and tobacco and other cash crops, and finally shipped these raw materials back to Europe for processing, making huge profits. ”

"But this set of trading rules does not apply to this world, this is not the earth, there is no industry, there is no Africa, there is no black slaves, it seems that my plan was still too impulsive at that time. ”

According to current intelligence, the Eastern Continent, like the Americas in the past, is still a producer of raw materials, lacking labor to support the strong demand for raw material production, and there is no place in the world where a large number of cheap labor can be traded like Africa.

In fact, not to mention that there was no slave trade, the world did not even develop light industry, production is still dominated by handicrafts, and in the case of more and more people coming to the Eastern Continent, the demand for raw materials for various handicraft workshops in the Central Continent is far less than before.

The reason why people are full of yearning for the Eastern Continent is because they can't survive in their original homeland, so they will consider coming to the Eastern Continent to develop. But how do you live in the Eastern Continent when you come here? This question has led many people to starve to death in the Central Continent rather than embark on a journey to the Eastern Continent.

Plagued by these unsolvable problems, Lin Jue was extremely bored, and if he continued to develop like this, even if it was just to transport immigrants over, his young Eastern Continent Trading Company would have to go bankrupt sooner or later, let alone make a profit. In the future, to develop a strong navy, there is not enough money to support it, and there is no point in that.

"What should I do?" Looking at the place where the sea and the sky met in the distance, Lin Jue thought about this question in a depressed mood.
