Xiao Ming's New Deal was to develop this ancient Indian kingdom into a kingdom with a developed agricultural civilization, so it was necessary to reclaim a large amount of farmland, and he provided them with a higher yield of crop seeds, that is, wheat and rice, in comparison, the yield and cultivation of wheat may be more acceptable to the people of the kingdom, so the popularity of wheat is very high.

Of course, this is Xiao Ming's matter in a few months, the Grizt Kingdom is very backward in the use of tools, many tools are bronze, so the progress of their cultivation and mining is very slow, Xiao Ming is a little anxious, but now people have not entered the Iron Age! There is no urgency, it is better to help them smelt and use iron tools more practically.

But whether it is road construction, agriculture, or ore mining, the Kingdom of Grizt is facing an urgent problem, that is, there is a shortage of manpower! Because a large number of slaves were basically passive and slack off when they worked, while the average commoner was willing to work his own crops, but did all other things hard.

So Xiao Ming decided to carry out one of the most important decisions of the New Deal, that is, the "abolition of slavery" in the entire Grizt kingdom to abolish slavery, which was a far-reaching event, from the day the "abolition" was promulgated, the difficulties and resistance were not ordinarily great, but Xiao Ming's requirement for Arum was to insist.

This is a necessary social change that the entire Grizt Kingdom will not be replaced by the Asterk Kingdom in the future, if it can't be held on now, then the future is still uncertain, although Arum doesn't know why Xiao Ming must insist on abolition, but he still obeys Xiao Ming's words.

The economic center of the entire Grizt Kingdom is actually in the east of the entire kingdom, close to the entire Gulf of Mexico, where agriculture and fishing are very developed, but Xiao Ming landed from the lower and the coast, and the entire mountainous area is composed of some tribes composed of fishing and hunting, which is relatively backward, and a large number of mineral resources are important distributed here and in the south.

In order to increase the agricultural cultivation area and the development of mineral resources throughout the kingdom, "abolition" is imperative! The slave was freed on the spot, and then the officials of the kingdom would give him a parchment to prove his identity, stamped with the red seal of the kingdom, and these people were basically proletarian and landless destitute people, many of whom were captured captives, and now they were a little confused after the fierce freedom.

As a slave, although they are not free with shackles, their lives are not guaranteed, and they will even be chosen as sacrifices, but they can finally survive for a long time, and now they are free, but they have no source of support to live, which is also the reason why they are confused, so the next decree of the kingdom followed.

That is, the kingdom needs a lot of manpower to reclaim farmland, build roads and mine mines, and if you want, you can go directly to where you want, take care of the food on the work ground, and have wages after doing it, and many female slaves are found by the cotton weaving workshop organized by the kingdom, where manpower is also needed.

There were also slaves who were warriors from outside tribes, others who were dragged with their families, and these people could voluntarily join the kingdom's army and go to the periphery to reclaim their own wasteland, while a third of the new fields were owned by the king, and in exchange the kingdom would give them seeds and farming tools on credit!

It was a new deal that stabilized the population of the whole country, but it also touched the fundamental interests of some people, but the lessons of the past were there, and many people dared to oppose it again, and they soon found a workaround, which was to free all the slaves in their hands, but let them rent their own land, but the rent was a little more than others.

There are also people who sell their land and slaves at a discount, or even sell them directly to the king, while they go to buy a certain mine, fishery, forest, etc., and after going through the normal judicial process, once the place is developed in the future, they can get higher profits, which is just one of the dozens of ways they can adapt to the New Deal!

In any case, the New Deal continued in the midst of opposition, and after the turmoil of society, it gradually stabilized, and the people were highly motivated to produce and work, and the whole kingdom began to develop in a prosperous direction.

Only then did Arumu know the true purpose of Xiao Ming's so-called New Deal, the prosperity of the country is obviously not measured by how much wealth those few aristocratic princes have, but by how much wealth the majority of ordinary people have.

After the kingdom increased the economic development of the whole Gulf, some new industries were gradually established, such as fishing and agriculture in the alluvial plains of the rivers, as well as shipbuilding, Xiao Mingzhen had the intention to go south to the Panama region, and then open a canal to connect the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and he could also go to the Caribbean seas to see.

But at this time, the connection between Central and North America and the whole of South America is all stretching from the primeval forest, and the difficulty of digging a canal is unimaginable, so Xiao Ming is just an idea about it!

Time flies quickly, in a blink of an eye to November of this year, but this place is located in the tropical region of Central and North America, there is no chill at all, and the Indians believe in the solar calendar, which is still very different from the Great Song calendar currently used in China, so many people do not know that it is winter.

But the crops have been harvested for two seasons, which makes Xiao Ming feel as if two years have passed, he has been paying attention to the mining of the mine every day, and has instructed the local craftsmen to initially smelt a lot of iron, although it is not comparable to the ironmaking technology of the Great Song Dynasty, but it is much more advanced than bronze tools.

With the help of iron tools, the kingdom's undertakings were raised to a stage of rapid development, and the tiger guards were responsible for holding down the large number of captives from the royal city to the base on the west coast, and finally carved a road that could run donkeys, which crossed the coast, mountains, and forests, and led to the door of the coastal camp.

And of all, Antao was the most fulfilling, and he was now called another: "Tilda Gumu!" "He was respected and loved by all the people of the whole kingdom of Grizt, because he was able to cure diseases, not only did he heal a large number of sick people but also improved the health of the whole kingdom, and after he cured the diseases of many nobles and princes, he also eased the contradictions between these people and the king of Arum and Xiao Ming.

As large quantities of mined coal continue to be transported to the seaside camp, "the Thunder is finally free to move!" Everyone is excited, counting the days and waiting for the next summer! At the same time, the saltworks by the sea also transported large quantities of snow-white table salt to the city of Grizt, where they exchanged large sums of gold.

Due to the development of mineral resources in the whole kingdom, a large amount of gold has flowed into the market, and the function of gold as currency has been realized, so Xiao Ming asked Arum to stipulate that gold should be used as currency, which also promoted the development and use of metallurgical mineral resources in disguise.

Xiao Mingkong gloves white wolf, using low-cost sea salt in exchange for a large amount of gold in this kingdom, but everyone only knows this "Tilda Ancient Mu!" "The invention of iron-making for the entire kingdom has made all kinds of production in the kingdom develop rapidly, and since his camp base is close to the Pacific Ocean, Xiao Ming considered a bold idea.

That was to let the Thunder continue to sail south, over the junction of the two Americas, and continue south along the coastline, just looking at the Andes in search of the legendary Peruvian silver mines and intellectual copper mines, but the fundamental purpose was to need this detailed chart, and this task was entrusted to the captain for two months.

In less than a month, the captain returned, and the Thunder returned with a full load, not only some common ores, but also many other local specialties, and they told Xiao Ming that the local people there were friendly, gave them a large number of rare treasures and native products, and welcomed them to go again.

Xiao Ming looked at it, the rare treasures were countless, there were indeed a lot of South American specialties, and there were a large number of strange plants, dried plant stems that had been sunburned into pale yellow, Xiao Ming carefully identified, "I'm damn!" It's tobacco! Take these things to the Doctor of Tranquility, he's now researching how to use them to heal his illness! ”

But the "Thunder Dragon" did bring back a large number of strange gems this time, this is a kind of tumor stone, which is also a kind of gemstone, fortunately, these tumor stones are colorful, listening to the captain's description, where the natives seem to have a lot of such things, and the salt brought by the Thunder Dragon is basically replaced with this kind of thing.

South America is not only a huge source of gold, but also a major source of various colored gemstones, Xiao Ming wondered if he should go more? To be honest, Xiao Ming's interest in gold is greater than that of gemstones, but human beings are born with a love for some rare treasures, looking at those colorful gems, Xiao Ming's greed has to be mobilized again.

Moreover, it is impossible to draw all the charts of the entire American coast in just one trip, so it is necessary to compare it many times, so the "Thunder" once again loaded half a warehouse of salt and set off to explore the South American coast for the second time! And this time, even the captain himself does not know how far the "Thunder Dragon" has run.

That's because South America originally belonged to the boundaries of the southern hemisphere, and the latitude and longitude were completely different from those of the northern hemisphere from the direction, and the correspondence between cold and heat was also different.

Fortunately, he finally came to his senses, and sailed back along the coastline, and finally returned to the base after more than two months, but this time the harvest was even richer, not only with all kinds of gems, but also with a strange animal that they pulled back, Xiao Ming looked: "Am I not relying on grass and mud horses?!" ”

The grass mud horse is actually the alpaca of South America, a specialty of the Andes Mountains, and the South American Indians have been domesticated domestic animals since ancient times, able to carry things and cultivate farmland, which is still very practical for the Grizt kingdom that still uses donkeys and semi-wild cattle as livestock!

The time soon came to the summer of the second year, where to find the Great Song Dynasty has always calculated, it should be the end of May, Xiao Ming ordered the Xiaolong to fill up the coal, prepare the supplies, and everyone was ready to return home, but the local base that they had worked hard to build could not be lost, and they didn't know how to choose after thinking about it.

At this time, An Daoquan said that he was willing to stay temporarily, he hoped to establish a school of traditional Chinese medicine here, and considered popularizing the entire culture of the Great Song Dynasty, and Arumu also had this idea, not only that, but he also sent dozens of young talents who were willing to follow Xiao Ming back to the Great Song Dynasty to study.

After being settled in this way, some of the tiger guards and craftsmen who stayed temporarily formed a left-behind staff with An Daoquan, while Xiao Ming took dozens of people from the "New Song Kingdom" to prepare to set off and return home, and at the same time, the tiger guards and sailors were also eager to return home.

But what he didn't expect was that at this moment, there was a sudden tsunami on the entire west coast, and Xiao Ming's base was flooded, according to his analysis, this must have been caused by an earthquake, because a priest of the kingdom had predicted before this, Xiao Ming didn't take it seriously at that time, but after the tsunami, the "Thunder Dragon" ran aground!
