143 Pioneering
Spring tends to come late in the north, and it's not as bright as in the more south, and even when much of the south is already alive, there is still snow on the land.
But in the vicinity of the settlement that Liang En is building, everything is in full swing. With the large number of people and materials entering the development site, the development speed of the entire land has finally increased.
For the people of the Frontier, in addition to processing the various prey they had obtained before and sending them to the returning ships, Liang En's most important job now is to carry out spring ploughing-
After all, it is not a long-term solution to rely solely on foreign aid obtained in various ways, so it is important for all the people in the pioneer area to grow enough food crops to ensure food security.
In addition, Liang En also handed over the tin ingots and teak he had captured to the returning fleet, and ordered a 27-long, 200-t, 10-gun brig from the modern world in return for about 150 taels of silver.
Yes, Liang En is indeed from the modern world, and he knows that what he is doing now is actually to make a lot of money from industrial and agricultural scissors and forks, and he also knows the importance of industry, but the problem is that the population of the entire region under his command is now more than 4,000 people, and it cannot support any industrial system at all.
In this case, if you force an industrial project to be launched, you will only want everything but you will not be able to get anything, so it is not a bad thing to take a step back at such a time.
Therefore, he thinks that at least in the initial stage, it is better to farm, at least to be able to eat and clothe first, and as for other things, it is necessary to wait for the gradual development of the whole area.
Compared with those seemingly tall industrial projects, Liang En is still willing to lay a solid foundation from the ground step by step, only in this way can every step be stepped on, and the fatal problem will not suddenly erupt one day.
In addition to farming, Liang En also has a very important job to teach everyone how to fight, after all, this place can be called a wild land, and the whole environment is not safe, so everyone must learn to fight.
Of course, this kind of battle does not mean that everyone is required to be able to wear a strong and sharp face, and the expression will not change in the face of thousands of iron cavalry, but at least they can stand behind the fortifications and be able to listen to orders to fire their guns, so as not to run away when they see the enemy.
Fortunately, Liang En finally didn't have to start from scratch one by one, and after having a group of militiamen who had been trained in actual combat, it was obviously much easier to train more armed personnel than before.
Not to mention that except for half of the group of mountain ghosts who were sent into the surrounding camp to search for the future, the other half had stayed in the camp to help with the work, so they happened to be invited by Liang En to guide the group of farmers under him.
Unlike the farmers, the overall level of education of the mountain ghosts is not low, at least everyone can listen, speak, read and write, and at the same time, the long life span also allows them to learn a lot of knowledge.
These mountain ghosts quickly became the best gunsmiths in the settlement, working with the experienced militiamen to train the new immigrants when they had free time.
Of course, everyone's quick learning is not simply because of the guidance of famous teachers, but also because of the weapons they choose - Liang En does not plan to train everyone into an elite cold weapon unit, but intends to fully heat weaponize.
Compared to those methods of using cold weapons, the method of gun operation is obviously easier to learn. Even a group of barely literate farmers trying to master the use of firearms is not a particular headache.
In just two weeks, most of them have learned how to load, how to aim, how to shoot, and some have even learned how to maintain these guns.
As time passed, new canals and arable land appeared on the ground, and the first potatoes were successfully planted with the support of a large amount of fertilizer.
It's not an easy thing to do, after all, for those farmers they prefer to grow familiar crops rather than these odd-looking round lumps.
In the end, Liang En still succeeded in convincing everyone by relying on the sufficient food stored in advance, after all
The land is Liang En's, and when you don't have to worry about starving to death next year because of the harvest, everyone is still willing to listen to his orders.
"This is the land of hope." Liang En smiled a rather unpretentious smile as he watched the water flow down a river channel that had just been dug out of the lamp god through a reservoir and turn the hundreds of acres of surrounding land into irrigated land.
"Yes, I've never seen this land so full of life." Ao Lei, who had just used the talent of the dragon clan to travel clouds and rain, had completed watering the land far away from the irrigation canal.
"Thanks to your work, at least I've been here for so many years to change this land, and now I finally have time to take a good rest."
"Yes, it's time for a rest." Liang En stretched, this kind of spring ploughing during the day and looking for opportunities to go to the modern world to do his own work at night is too tiring-
During the previous period, Liang En would return to the modern world every night and do a live broadcast of jewelry making, and after his efforts during this time, his live broadcast room was watched by three or four thousand people every time it was live.
As for the reason why he chose to live broadcast, it is not for money, but because he hopes to spread his reputation in this way, so that he can contribute to his royal lamp production plan in the future.
After all, the royal lamp god needs 10,000 witnesses in the production process, and after thinking about it carefully, Liang En suddenly found that 10,000 witnesses did not require that group of people to be present at the scene, so he naturally thought of using the Internet to complete this work.
But it's not easy to get people to want to see you, which is why Liang has recently made an effort to become an influencer — the only way to ensure that you can actually find 10,000 viewers when you need to.
Fortunately, it is not difficult for him to reach his goal, but on the first day of the live broadcast, he managed to obtain thousands of collections, which is naturally related to Liang En's ability to use a little money, but more importantly, the content he broadcasts is really attractive.
Although it seems that there are millions per capita in XX books, Xhu, and Xbo, there are still very few people in any country who actually own their own manors and castles, so everyone will naturally be interested in this kind of thing.
On the other hand, Liang En's level in his hands is indeed good, especially after winning the Spectrum Award, everyone will naturally have a certain aura when they look at it.
But even if Liang En really likes to make jewelry, spending three or four hours a day here is tiring, so after listening to Ao Lei's words, he also had the idea of taking a break.
"Where do you think there's any fun nearby?" He turned to Ao Lei and asked, "After all, you've been in this place for years, so I think you should know what's fun."
"There's a nice lake to the south, it's beautiful, and there's hot springs around, but it used to be more than 300 miles away, and I'm going to go there for a few days to recuperate—would you like to come along?" A few seconds later, Ao Lei sent an invitation to Liang En.
"Okay!"
Liang En nodded vigorously, no matter what, two people are always better than one person when traveling for various things, let alone traveling with an acquaintance with whom he has a good relationship.
"Then it's decided." Ao Lei said as she turned around and walked towards her quarters. "I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the village tomorrow morning."
"Don't worry, I'll be there on time."
Liang En smiled, and then suddenly thought that many girls in another world like sweets, so he said.
"By the way, I'll prepare all the snacks when I go out on a trip tomorrow, so you don't have to be busy."
