After determining his next goal, Liang En contacted some people through the Internet to help him find clues to the Lost King when he routinely returned to the modern world, and he returned to the ancient world with a batch of materials purchased before.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also handed over the small leaf red sandalwood and a small part of the remaining spices that he had successfully sold with Mr. Huang, and obtained 1.2 million US dollars.

The most important thing to bring back to the ancient world was a complete set of sacrificial vessels, which Liang En had prepared for the Whale Sea Temple, because after a busy winter, the Whale Sea Temple had been successfully completed in the villages and towns.

The Whale Sea Monarch Temple is a Chinese-style courtyard structure, and in the lobby of the temple, there is a statue of the Whale Sea Monarch carved by Liang En from a single piece of wood.

The interior of the idol is empty, and various items are packed through the ritual of dirty, including the "classics" representing wisdom, the "bronze mirror" representing the ability to perceive, the "almanac and grains" representing the wind and rain, the "spices" representing the "spices" representing the evil spirits, and the five-colored silk threads representing the "five elements". "Gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin" represent wealth and auspiciousness, and "spiritual talismans and incense ash" represent divine powers.

After the exquisite bronze sacrificial vessels customized from the modern world were in place, Liang En finally completed the consecration ceremony, and what was shocking was that as soon as the ceremony was completed, the statue of the god glowed dazzlingly in the field of spiritual power.

This light represents the blessing of the gods, and under normal circumstances, this level of blessing can only be obtained by a settlement of at least 10,000 people, and the situation encountered by Xiang Liang En can only be said to be an acquaintance's favor.

With the protection of a powerful god, everyone's affairs are obviously much higher, and with this momentum, the construction of a new settlement, which is also the most central settlement in the planning, began to be built.

After all, although the snow and ice are now starting to subside and the ground is no longer as hard as steel, the low ground temperature also makes it impossible to carry out spring ploughing, so it is just right to carry out infrastructure construction.

Especially according to the Feihong biography received before, the first batch of immigrants has already set off from the mouth of the Yangtze River, so Liang En's side must now be ready to welcome newcomers.

Soon, all the people were organized by Liang En and began to build new settlements, and for the local natives and Yingzhou serfs, they received a lot of Liang En's favors in winter, so they were naturally willing to contribute at this time.

According to the plan, the new city will initially be a series of civil forts, and only a stone bastion will be built on the terrace near the river to serve as the core of the defense of the entire area.

Of course, in this transcendent world, Liang En can't just rely on manpower, and he also manipulates all the lamp gods in his hands and the magic props that can turn into elephants into the construction site.

In addition, there are 20 giant bugs summoned from that tropical cave every day.

It must be said that these extraordinary powers are much more powerful than ordinary labor, at least these extraordinary props invested by Liang En and the work done by the lamp god every day is equivalent to 700 strong men who work without sleep and work in the best condition for 24 hours.

In particular, these lamp gods have mastered some simple spells that greatly improve the construction process, such as using the power of magic, they can easily cut or shape rocks, and using the power of water to carry heavy objects.

Even Liang En made these transcendent beings twice as efficient at the cost of 150 taels of silver per day, and for him, modern industrial silver allowed him to speed up his construction at a low cost.

He also transformed several steam engines in his hands into steam cranes and put them on the construction site, and temporarily asked Ao Lei and the practitioners in the tribe to quickly learn how to operate them and put them into work.

So after three weeks, the prototype of a city appeared on the banks of the river.

It was a series of defenses that could hold two or three thousand men combined, with a core bastion and three smaller fortifications, surrounded by farm-based land.

Each fort was surrounded by a moat that brought water from the river around the perimeter, and the earth excavated from the trenches had to be used to strengthen the wooden façade of the fort.

A structure of mud and wood is formed.

So when a dozen ships slowly sailed into the port, it was not only the wilderness that was shown to those new immigrants, but also a building that represented the light of civilization.

"2,731!" After looking at the people who came down from the ship one after another and the list handed over by Lin An, Liang En's eyes widened. "How did you get so many people, you can't just pull people from the street, right?"

"Of course not, everyone here is a real volunteer." Lin An raised his chin proudly slightly, then turned his head to look at Liang En and smiled.

"Thanks to Master Liang, you led the army to participate in the punishment war to Malacca in the South Seas last time, so there are a large number of volunteers willing to join the immigrants now—"

It turned out that such a big change in the recruitment situation was related to the last war, in which two of the more than 100 people brought out by Liang En were not lightly injured, but all of them were paid handsomely and abnormally.

At the same time, the injured family, as well as the injured person, received the promised compensation. And the money was safely delivered to the people they had previously designated.

Through this incident, we all established that Liang En was a good pioneer - he was able to achieve his goals with the men under my command, and he was generous and fair in the distribution of benefits, and at the same time there was kindness in his heart.

Therefore, many immigrants who originally planned to go to Nanyang chose to follow Liang En, so after a period of training, they embarked on the migration road with 600 mountain ghosts.

Interestingly, however, in addition to the traditional bows and arrows, almost all of them carried one or even a few obviously carefully selected firearms.

"People always have to adapt to the times, don't they?" Seeing Liang En's doubts, Lin An lifted his robe slightly and showed the two pistols that he had inserted in the holster on his waist, and continued.

"Firearms are obviously able to keep us fighting longer than bows and arrows, which require a lot of effort to use, so considering the efficiency of the battle, almost everyone now has a gun, and some have more than one."

In addition to these men, the ship was accompanied by food, cloth, saltpeter, bronze cannons equivalent to 12 six-pounder guns, 12 12-pounder guns, a total of 24 cannons, 1,200 heavy flintlock pistols, and a large number of cold weapons.

"These gunpowder weapons are most of the new gunpowder weapons produced by the Gusu Weapons Bureau during this time." Looking at the weapons that were removed from the boat by the lamp god, Lin An introduced in a low voice.

"Considering that this is a new development area, according to the order of the superiors, these items will be directly given to you for actual combat testing, I just hope you can summarize the theory of how to use these new gunpowder weapons."

"Of course, this job does not require you to do it alone, the Mo family has sent five apprentices who will assist you, the inventor of the new artillery, in completing the theoretical summary in this regard."

"It would be great if that were the case." Liang En nodded in satisfaction.

With the arrival of the new immigrants, what he lacks most now is all kinds of supplies and technicians, so he naturally welcomes these goods and materials to his frontier.
