However, after walking around the streets, Pang Yu realized that he was overjoyed. The textbook did say that brick houses had become popular in the Ming Dynasty, but Hainan was obviously lagging behind the times - the style of most houses here was still closer to that of the Song Dynasty.

It is still mainly composed of wooden bones and mud walls. The load-bearing components are made of wooden pillars, while the dividing components, the walls, are mostly made of branches woven into fences and then plastered with soil.

There are also houses on stilts in the ethnic minority style, made of bamboo. They look quite light and are insulated from moisture and heat. Pang Yu plans to imitate them when he has time, but the locals are used to raising pigs in the space under the floor slabs, which smells bad.

God knows how they could bear it.

The city is very small, and just wandering around would be the end of it. It seems that except for the county government office, the county warehouse, and the Confucian Temple, which are relatively important places, there are no brick houses in the entire county. I plan to live in the county warehouse by myself.

As for the reinforcement, it seems that the County Government Confucian Temple is not easy to demolish, and Pang Yu does not want to cause public outrage because of a toilet.

When he finally reached the city gate, Pang Yu finally found what he was looking for - city wall bricks! Although most of the city walls in Lingao County are made of adobe structures, in the section near the city gate, the wall is still covered with bricks.

of.

"It's been decided. If there's really no other way, we'll demolish the city wall. No one should be able to stop us..."

Of course, the city gate has long since disappeared. The fragments of the wooden fence that was knocked down by the Hummer that day are still scattered in the city gate hole. Originally, there were a few soldiers guarding the gate - it seems that in ancient times, you had to pay to enter the city. However,

Since the arrival of the warriors, they have entered and exited the city gate dozens of times every day, and every time the soldiers at the gate saw them, they fled far away, and now there is no one guarding the city gate at all.

After leaving the city, he found another kiln entrance, near the southern suburbs of the county. It was mainly used for firing pottery and pottery. However, Pang Yu also saw some finished bricks. The quantity was not large, and the specifications were very messy.

It's obviously city bricks and tomb bricks, but it doesn't matter, just know that bricks can be fired here.

Pang Yu didn't have to worry about how to get these bricks - he just said hello to Tang Jian and the others when he went back. Without saying a word, these two brought the group of squealing little guys who had been drilled these days.

, pushed two flatbed trucks and went out. Not long after, the two large trucks of messy bricks were dragged back, even the tomb bricks were not spared. It seemed that the inventory at the kiln entrance was emptied.

Of course, Jie Xi solemnly stated that they were definitely not acting like the Japanese. They paid for these bricks. How much? One yuan - a shiny one-yuan coin brought from modern times.

However, Pang Yu unkindly guessed that most of the people were willing to sell it not because of the coins, but because of the bright bayonet on the Tang Jian Type 56 semi-automatic rifle - these guys specially used the bayonet to go shopping, and you could tell at a glance.

Bad intentions.

In fact, they killed so many people on the first day they came here, and even robbed the warehouse. So what if they robbed another cart of bricks? They had to play the trick of red and white faces... Pang Yu felt a little disapproving.

However, Jie Xi was very excited and said that this was the second successful step in communicating with the locals, so he could not throw cold water on it.

Now that the brick problem is solved, mortar is relatively simple - find some clean limestone, smash it and burn it thoroughly to make quicklime. Mix in sand in proportion to get a standard cement mortar. As for the limestone... I just found a vein.

Technician Comrade Huang Jiancheng returned to the camp two days ago. He and several comrades familiar with exploration and mapping conducted a general survey of the mining resources around Lingao County. Although there was a "National Provincial Mineral Resources Planning Atlas" in the hands of the passers-by

", the latest edition in 2007, introduces in detail the important mineral resources across the country. However, in a small place like Lingao County, it still requires manpower to explore and understand it in person.

Pyrite, limestone, thenardite, coal... The young man named Shu Zhong in the exploration team looked excited as he took out one piece of ore after another from the specimen bag. Lingao County is really a place rich in mineral resources.

.Although the amount of mineral resources is not large, it is enough to at least satisfy the initial development.

"I have everything I need..."

Huang Jiancheng caressed the iron ore and the crucial coal with ecstasy. There was ore and fuel. He, an excellent technician from Shanghai Baosteel, was finally able to do his job.

"What shouldn't be there is still not there..."

Jie Xi was disappointed to notice that there was no saltpeter in the ore specimens, which meant that the currently crucial zha medicine production still lacked the main raw materials. Until high-quality saltpeter ores were found, they had to continue to rely on compost** to obtain soil saltpeter.

, and this method is not only inefficient, it is also a kind of destruction to the human nose.

"We will continue to look for it. Saltpeter is not a rare mineral. It can be found everywhere in the country."

Shu Zhong knew what Jie Xi was thinking and comforted him in a considerate way. This young man majoring in mineral and oil and gas exploration has been traveling all over the world since he started working, and he is very adaptable to drilling into deep mountains and old forests. Everyone came to Ming Dynasty

It has been more than a month since he returned to the country. He has not stayed in the city for more than ten days. Most of the other time he spent in the wilderness. If he hadn't been contacted by a walkie-talkie, it would have been really worrying.

"I know... thank you for your hard work..."

Jie Xi nodded to him to express his gratitude, and then shouted outside:

"Chemistry team, come in and identify the ore, you can start work!"

…………

Mineral veins have been found, and coal mining is truly hard work. Although these minerals are basically open-air and there is no danger, it is still a waste of talent to let modern white-collar workers work as miners.

It's almost time to use that group of captive laborers.

The prisoners had been raised for more than 20 days, and some of the minor injuries had almost recovered. As for the seriously injured, given the medical conditions of this era, the seriously injured would not survive. Even if there were modern doctors to help rescue them, there would be no modern drugs to cooperate.

It's all in vain.

In the past twenty days, they have been fighting almost every day. Of course Ade, who is responsible for managing them, will not stop it, but intentionally or unintentionally contributes to the situation. In Ade's words - if these people stick together and become monolithic, then we ourselves

But it's dangerous.

Now in the prisoner team, the pirate faction and the government military faction have completely opposed each other. Both factions see each other as mortal enemies, and they have a more favorable impression of the time-travelers who manage them. It is no wonder that the time-travelers use modern humanitarian ideas

Treat the captives, treat the injured ones, and feed them even though the quantity is small but the quality is not bad. Basically, the captives will eat whatever the travelers eat.

This kind of equal treatment almost caused trouble on the first day. When the prisoners saw that the staple food given to them was white rice, they became restless. Many of them showed a desperate attitude and turned to Huang Xiaodong, who had brought the food to them.

Startled.

Later, Wang Haiyang and others rushed in with big guns and calmed the situation. When asked carefully what happened, it made people laugh and cry - in the place where they used to live, they could only eat white rice during the New Year and holidays, and usually ate bran cakes.

When I saw the guards actually giving them white rice, they thought it was decapitation rice.

"**, didn't you make multi-grain rice specially?"

Pang Yu was actually very meticulous and took special care of this matter. It wasn't that he was thinking about anything else, he just felt that the prisoners should not be fed too well at the beginning, lest Ade would not be able to win over them later. As a result, he traced the matter to the kitchen and found that Chef Li was very

I told them aggrievedly that all the multigrain rice had been eaten by us, and only white rice was left...

So I won’t bother to treat them differently in the future. It’s not that the time travelers don’t have rice bran in their hands, but they really want to eat the bran skin. If nothing else, foreigner Jack can’t pass this level. Although this guy has been in Iraq,

Everyone usually booed him and said that he must have participated in the torture of prisoners, but when things really happened, his strong humanitarian spirit was quite admirable.

In addition to providing spiritual comfort, the traversers also deeply inherited the special methods of a certain party in ideological transformation. As laborers in the future, these captives will definitely have to communicate with the traversers. To communicate, they must first be able to communicate with each other in language, right?

There are ten different pronunciations in Hainan. Not to mention the captives and guards, even the captives may not be able to understand each other. To modern ears, their speech is similar to the language of birds. Even locals such as Huang Xiaodong and Ye Mengyan find it difficult to understand.

.

The time-travelers come from all over the world and have no talent for languages. There is no hope of learning the local dialect of Hainan in this life, but people need to have reverse thinking, right? Modern people can't speak the local language, so why can't they be allowed to do so?

Did these Ming Dynasty natives learn to speak modern languages? As the standard Chinese promoted by the country, Mandarin should be a relatively easy to accept language. Robinson alone can teach Friday to speak English, why can't so many of us teach him?

How many Hainan indigenous Mandarin speakers?

When Pang Yu proposed this idea at an internal meeting, it really shocked a group of people. Everyone thought it was unbelievable at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make some sense.

"Then who will teach them how to speak, yourself?"

Ling Ning asked with a smile. Nowadays, among them, the principle of "whoever proposes it is implemented" is basically implemented. If anyone feels that they can do something, no problem, you can just go ahead and do it - as long as you have the ability to persuade others.

Help, or you'll have to fight alone.

However, Pang Yu obviously had a plan. He made a special investigation when sorting out the supplies: Including himself, there were about twenty people in this group of time-travelers who brought laptops. There was also an entertainment room on the ship.

There are many DVD discs, a projector, and a big white cloth as the screen. Isn't this a good cinema?

"Show a movie to the prisoners?"

Once again, everyone was shocked by this architect's incredible mind, which was full of bizarre ideas.

But in the end, the proposal was passed, and it didn't matter if it failed anyway.

Pang Yu put a lot of thought into the choice of the first film. It should shock those country bumpkins enough, fully arouse their enthusiasm for learning Mandarin, and preferably make them feel awe of the time-travelers...

...The conditions were quite harsh, but he happened to have a film on hand that fully met this requirement.

"A City Full of Golden Armor"! Director Zhang Da's masterpiece, the visual and color effects are beyond praise. Although the plot is a bit old from modern eyes, those captives must have never watched "Thunderstorm", so they don't need to

Worried about their boos. Moreover, this film involves some elements: imperial power, father and son, men and women, conspiracy and betrayal, and of course the famous deep cleavage... What will be the consequences of showing these things to the people of the Ming Dynasty? Even some

Pang Yu was also curious about the reactions of the soldiers and pirates at the lowest level.
