Chapter 55 Next Step (II)
The previous situation was not easy for Xiao Lin to expose his ambition to annex them. At that time, the Yanhuang Trading Company had not yet been listed, and Xiao Lin's forces were too scarce, and they could only deal with one or two thousand warriors at most. At that time, the pressure of the Addams family had always existed, and with the Adams family's troops and the warriors of these dozen tribes, Shawlin and they had to face nearly four thousand enemies. Because of the late appearance of the Medium Formal Rifle, these tribes had already obtained enough compound bows to still be able to inflict some damage on Xiao Lin and them.
Now, though, it's a different story. First of all, the Addams family and the small town of Pandey have been crippled, and in the short term, it is impossible to organize a large army to retaliate. After suffering so many losses in weapons and equipment, even if you want to come, it is likely that you will only come after upgrading your equipment. This matter should not be able to produce any high-tech weapons and equipment in the colonies on the American continent, and it will be more than half a year since they had to buy them from the mainland.
Moreover, another 4,000 people from the Yanhuang Trading Company joined, and Xiao Lin selected 500 strong men from them, and together with the previous reinforced company, they formed the second and third battalions of the Yanhuang Company's escort team. Not to mention three months of military training, only one month of training is enough to deal with the indigenous Indians. If you fight, you can completely annihilate it in one fell swoop. In the end, after thinking about it, Xiao Lin still felt that this bazaar could be opened. There was still a month left before the market opened, and it was just the right time for Sholin to consolidate his rule.
Even if some of the supplies were exchanged for furs by these Indians, it would be profitable for Sholin. Moreover, when he conquers these tribes, this part of the things will become his trophies. It has to be said that the Indians can't beat the whites, and the lack of unity and dispersion is also a very important reason. Even if it is a race, they are divided into tribes of different sizes to fight each other. More than a dozen small tribes were scattered, scattered within a range of three hundred kilometers, and Xiao Lin attacked without any pressure.
Of course, that's all for later. Now Xiao Lin's most important job is to preside over the expansion of Yanhuang First Town. Four thousand people joined at once, and the population under Xiao Lin directly doubled several times. With the exception of the dwellings, the rest of the facilities had to be expanded because they were too small to meet the needs of everyone. In the case of a small grocery store in a small town, which used to be large enough to handle many people, now it has to be tripled to accommodate everyone, otherwise you will have to wait in a long queue to buy a bag of salt.
Fortunately, Xiao Lin brings some daily necessities with him every time he comes back from the 21st century, and there are still a lot of things to sell in the town, so it is no problem to support them for at least three months. Moreover, the good news is that when the mysterious sun strengthened Xiao Lin's body before, it also made the gold coin evolve again, and the previous full energy could only allow a large truck with a load of 25 tons to pass, but now under Xiao Lin's calculations, it is enough to accommodate a large truck with a load of 40 tons, and this time Xiao Lin drove a newly bought 40-ton large truck.
With an additional load capacity of fifteen tons, more supplies can be transported. As far as the staple food is concerned, 15 tons are enough for nearly 6,000 people to use for more than two months. Of course, the town has to start cultivating the world. Rice, wheat, and vegetables can be grown just by planting, and if Xiao Lin were to purchase them from the 21st century, the cost would be too high. With the excellent seeds that Xiao Lin bought from the 21st century, as well as a variety of modern planting techniques, there is no problem in supplying the daily needs of these nearly 6,000 people.
The wheat seeds purchased by Xiao Lin can produce 600 kilograms per acre of land, although that is achieved with the help of various advanced machinery and fertilizers in the 21st century, but the land on the American continent is now very fertile, and no one uses the soil power, so that even if the land here does not reach the level of black soil, it does not need too much fertilizer. According to preliminary estimates, one acre of land can produce almost 400 kilograms of barley. 100 acres is 40,000 kilograms, and 500 acres is 200,000 kilograms, enough for white people to make bread.
Sholin and the Indians preferred rice. The rice seeds in Xiao Lin's hands are expected to yield 500 kilograms per mu of land, but there are not many places where rice can be terminated, and only 200 acres of rice fields can be reclaimed at most. Fruits and vegetables can also increase the yield by about 10% if they are directly cultivated from the American continent. These things are not very demanding on the land, and you can plant a lot of them. Now, the excrement of 6,000 people a day is also useful, and it is directly used as fertilizer and then poured into the ground.
In addition to being a vegetarian, people still have to eat meat. Sholin plans to set up a farm near the town, where he plans to feed wild boars, pheasants, and hares. These three animals are very common in the American continent, and Shotin sent out his Indian warriors who were experienced in hunting, and in a week, they caught thirty of them each. When he slowly cultivates it, he will be able to let Xiao Lin ask for the trouble of purchasing meat in the future.
Originally, the small river Xiaolin near the Eagle Tribe was also planned to be used, although it was not very large, but it could be used to dig a lake around it to divert water to raise fish. However, this is a big project, and it can only be done slowly. For the time being, Xiao Lin does not have the spare time to pull a batch of modern construction machinery, if there are excavators and other things, this is a small cass.
In addition to food, more houses, public toilets, and new roads were to be prepared. None of this can be done overnight.
Of course, there are many more important things. This time, Shotin brought in two machines to fill gunpowder for empty bullets and one for plastic grenades. Equipped with three high-power diesel generators, the large truck was directly stuffed, and there was only a little space for other supplies. The combination of the three machine tools and generators will allow the production of bullets and grenades from smokeless gunpowder and 21st century bullet and grenade casings.
This is related to the maintenance of the combat effectiveness of the Yanhuang Trading Company's escort team, so it can't be sloppy at all. Through the previous training in the firewood processing plant, Xiao Lin also has 130 workers who can skillfully operate machinery and equipment. Fifty people were dispatched out, and Xiao Lin personally trained them according to the instructions, and they should be able to get started in a month. It just so happened that Xiao Lin had to bring the bullet casings and grenade casings over next time.
In addition to this, there is the construction of a new barracks, which is no less important. The current 500 recruits are all crammed, and they can cope with it for the time being, but they can't keep it this way forever.
After a month, when the second and third battalions are formed, they can launch an attack, sweep the radius of 100 kilometers once, get more labor, and speed up the construction. Until these constructions are completed, Xiao Lin does not intend to leave the range of 300 kilometers. Only when the number of troops can reach two thousand, that is, two regiments, will it be expanded.
After summarizing these, Xiao Lin took a few of his former Tony's stewards and began to make overall plans. Speaking of which, Xiao Lin also found that there were too few people under him who could be qualified as co-ordinating officials. Only a few petty civil servants were capable of these whites and Indians who had not received much education, and Xiao Lin, who was busy, felt that he had to hold a cadre training course and select some loyal young people to train them to become capable officials.
While Sholin and the others began to get busy, Babu also set off. Sholin gave him 100,000 pounds (counterfeit money made in the 21st century) and asked him to sneak into the colony to help him recruit some talent, especially those with management experience, and directly offered a high price. In addition to the management staff, there were doctors, carpenters and blacksmiths, etc., and Shawlin was in dire need. However, Sholin could also foresee that Babu would not be able to recruit many good talents. Most of this money is still used to purchase some supplies. It's best to be able to buy some antique oil paintings, and ship them to the 21st century auction Xiao Linke to make a lot of money.
After a month of feverish work, the long-awaited bazaar fair of scattered Indians opened again. With a thousand warriors in the town, no one dared to make trouble in the bazaar this time. There are still a lot of things that have changed in this bazaar trade, first of all, there are fewer bows and arrows and knives. Even if these are cold weapons, they still have a certain threat ability to the Yanhuang Guard, which does not have sharp weapons such as assault rifles, submachine guns, and machine guns.
Moreover, in the last transaction, a lot of these things have been sold, and there are not many people who are still missing. If it weren't for the sudden cancellation, someone would have caused trouble and exposed Xiao Lin's action plan, which would have been bad. Instead, the number of luxury goods in the lifestyle category has become larger. Crafts and furniture made in the 21st century do not have much benefit except for a good look, and it is the right way to exchange them for something really valuable.
It was true that things did not go out of Sholin's expectations, and this time the bazaar trade sold the best. Basically, these luxuries are all about instant noodles, canned food, and beer and liquor. Xiao Lin watched it for three days and left. Since there will be no problems in the bazaar, he doesn't need to keep an eye on it here, and it is best to go back and bring over the bullet casings of the new equipment as soon as possible to strengthen the company.
Back in the 21st century, it is rare for Shawlin not to encounter a lot of trivial matters. Except for the reception of more than 70 veterans who came to work, there was nothing for him to be responsible for. Because of the improvement of the situation in the factory and Xiao Lin's various heavy rewards, his people are like chicken blood, Xiao Lin only needs to control the general direction, and the specific affairs will be handed over to his subordinates. How to say, now Xiao Lin is also a big boss, and the big boss should have the appearance of a big boss.
