Looking at Wu Yi, who had dark skin in front of him and a tiredness that could not be concealed in his expression, Wen Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's hard work." ”

Wu Yi was excited, although it was only a short three words, he knew that he was finally recognized, and his hard work these days had been rewarded:

"The Lord has entrusted me with a great responsibility, and I can only repay it if I die effectively."

Chai Ben praised on the side: "Master Wu is a practical person, after coming to the island, he has been busy inside and out, and he only sleeps less than two hours a day. ”

"My old chai is ashamed of himself, and the lord should reward him well."

Wei Ran, Ma Yibai and others also spoke out one after another to express their recognition of him.

Wu Yi was moved to bow to everyone again and again, and said words of thanks in her mouth.

After pacifying Wu Yi, Wen Yi said to Chai Ben and the others: "You have also worked hard to conquer Yizhou Island, and everyone will be rewarded." ”

"Tomorrow, you will send the military merit book to Mr. Xue, and after carefully checking it, I will reward everyone together."

Everyone said happily: "Thank you, lord." ”

When he returned to his residence, it was already dark, and Wen Yi was welcomed by the Langhu immigrants again, and everyone gathered together to visit him regardless of fatigue.

He naturally comforted and praised everyone, and gave them a vision of the future, and then everyone dispersed.

After eating, Wen Yi forced Wu Yi to rest, and he held a brief meeting with Chai Ben and others.

I didn't discuss anything important, just chatted casually, mainly talking about the attack on Yizhou Island and some interesting things.

It's also a tradition that they sat down and talked about every goal they set on their migration last year.

So everyone is not restrained, and they can speak freely and say anything.

Through chatting, Wenyi has a comprehensive understanding of this battle and what follows.

We chatted until about ten o'clock in the evening before everyone went to rest.

The next day, instead of rushing to work, everyone gathered for a formal meeting.

First of all, Chai Ben made a campaign report on behalf of the military, in fact, the details are already clear to Wen Yi, and this report is more of a formality.

The focus is on Wu Yi's report later, which first talked about the current situation, then talked about his own development plan, and explained why he made such a plan.

Finally, Wen Yi expressed his recognition and praise for everyone's work, and said that there will be generous rewards in the future.

After the meeting, Wen Yi first went to the barracks to meet his soldiers and stayed with everyone for more than two hours before leaving.

Then I went to visit a thousand Langhu immigrants, talked with everyone, and drew a big pie for them again.

On the third day, all the village leaders, village elders and other managers from all the surrounding villages came to meet him, the lord, to express their gratitude and loyalty.

On the fourth day he went to see the natives captives, and promised them in public that if they were willing to submit and work hard, he would give them back their freedom before the beginning of spring next year.

At the same time, they will also be given houses, farmland, farm tools and other items.

But it's not so easy to really reassure them, now it's just giving them a hope, and once people have hope, it's not easy to go to extremes.

Sure enough, after that, these natives became much more honest, and the number of people who wanted to escape was significantly reduced, and they were more active in their work.

Zhao Zhengzhi, who got the news on the sixth day, also returned, reported the exploration to him, and took out a more detailed map of Yizhou Island.

After that, Wen Yi took a few more days to walk around the villages and have a more detailed understanding of the forces under his control.

After completing all this, he made certain adjustments to Wu Yi's plan and sent a thousand people out to do other work.

Wu Yi and the others were very puzzled, they were going to plough in the summer in a few days, why didn't they take advantage of the last tail to reclaim some more land and transfer so many young people?

Wen Yi explained: "The land we have cultivated is enough to feed everyone, and there will be no essential change if we continue to concentrate on land reclamation. ”

"Our next step is to build real houses for everyone, and we need enough bricks to build a house...... It is necessary for us to build a kiln to burn bricks and tiles in advance......"

"And the wood, too, should be cut down in advance...... In this way, the construction of the house can be started immediately after the completion of summer ploughing. If we wait for the summer ploughing to finish before we start doing it, there will be too much time to lose......"

Wu Yi said convincingly: "The lord is wise, and his subordinates admire him." ”

Wen Yi divided the 1,000 people into 10 groups of 100 people, four of whom looked for suitable places to build brick kilns in four directions.

The reason why so many brick kilns are built is to consider the inconvenience of transportation, and try to build one in each direction, so that you can take bricks nearby.

Five more teams were assigned to chop wood, and he himself led a group of people to work on some 'black technology'.

First he built five waterwheels to stand in the river, and then began to study the water-powered saw.

Hydraulic saws are indeed black technology for this era, and they are too useful.

Building a house requires wood, building furniture and the like also requires a lot of planks, and shipbuilding requires a lot of planks, and having a hydraulic saw can save a lot of manpower and time costs.

When he was in Langhu, he wanted to build a few, but he didn't take them out for fear of attracting the attention of others due to technology leakage.

Yizhou Island is its own territory, and there are no such worries at all.

He will definitely come up with more black technology in the future...... If he didn't have some 'black technology', how would he dare to aspire to change this era.

Fortunately, the technology of the hydraulic saw is not complicated, it can even be said to be very simple, you don't need to see it with your own eyes, and you can build it with a little mechanical knowledge.

Wen Yi led people to work for seven or eight days, and after several failures, he finally built the first hydraulic saw.

When they saw that the big tree, which took two people to be busy for half a day, was neatly cut into planks in just a few minutes under the hydraulic saw, everyone present couldn't help but cheer.

After this incident spread, the mystery on Wen Yi's body became a little stronger.

After the hydraulic saw was built, a steady stream of wood was transported and processed into planks, beams, bricks, etc., and then stacked outside to dry.

Before I knew it, Xia Geng had arrived, and all the people knew that it was related to their own survival in the next year, and they all worked hard.

The summer ploughing was completed by the end of June.

At this time, the four brick kilns built in advance were also ready to be put into use, and the people who had just finished their work could not take a break, turned around and began to take soil and burn bricks, busy for their houses.

This is a great test of Wu Yi and other administrative officials' ability to coordinate and cooperate, and they need to come up with a plan for where to build a house first, where to build a house later, and how to divide the labor of personnel.

Wu Yi and the others did not collapse, and came up with a plan that had been prepared a long time ago, and handled all the work in an orderly manner.

Wen Yi is very relieved that he finally has a group of administrative officials who can handle it.

Then he didn't bother with building houses, but sent in a dozen or so carpenters to build a printing workshop.

It's time to get down to work.
