The addition of more than 70 strong labor forces has greatly alleviated the human resources shortage that Chuanchuang was facing. Iron ore, limestone, coal... a large number of minerals were sent to where they were needed. After enough ore was dug, Pang Yu returned

He took them to brick kilns outside the city to learn brick making, and used the standard mold method to bake a large number of modern standard 240X120X60 standard green and red bricks. With standard bricks and cement mortar, Pang Yu could finally design according to the modern architectural methods he was used to.

House.

After the bricks were fired, it was time to build the house. Pang Yu spent a lot of time explaining bricklaying techniques, mainly to Ding Heshun. Not to mention those ancient people, even ordinary engineering team members who were modern people did not do it.

I have experienced this. In fact, Pang Yu has never done it himself. He just stayed on the construction site for a long time and watched the craftsmen do it before. When he came to operate it himself, it felt quite unfamiliar.

The high-end toilet requested by Ms. Hu Wen has finally been completed. Even though this small toilet is supported by a complete set of modern building systems, the completion of this toilet means that the time-traveling crowd has been able to preliminarily reappear in the Ming Dynasty.

Some simple modern building structural systems are crucial to their next construction work.

The final product is a rectangular building. It is three meters high, with a single-sided sloped roof, and the roof is still covered with thatch. On this issue, Pang Yu encountered strong protests from several lesbians. But he said he had no choice: on the sloped roof

Laying tiles evenly and firmly is a highly technical job. It is said that in ancient times, master craftsmen often separated their apprentices when doing this work. In modern times, only the masters of the garden engineering team probably still master this craft.

But for Pang Yu, an office animal who was only used to drawing pictures in front of the computer, he didn't understand this craft.

He could only assure the lesbians that the sloping side of the toilet roof faces the entire yard. If someone climbs on it and tries to peek into the entire yard, anyone can see it. In addition, in the future, when the relationship between the travelers and the locals becomes more relaxed,

You can also hire local craftsmen to do the job - if there is someone local who can do it.

The sewage pit behind the public toilet is dug very deep and can store a large amount of green and high-quality organic fertilizer. Two comrades, Wu Nanhai from the agriculture group and Li Jingcheng from the chemistry group, have booked the fertilizer here in advance, and they are still fighting for it.

Finally, we used extra bricks and stones to build a wall in the yard to separate the work area from everyone's sleeping area (living area). Originally, there were not many people living in the city and there was no need to separate functional areas.

However, as the construction of the green zone gradually improved, more and more people on the ship chose to move to the city. Together with more than 70 captive laborers, there were at most more than 150 people living in the green zone.

, the entire county warehouse compound was packed to the brim.

The addition of this group of local workers also promoted another development - communication and interaction with the locals became smoother. After confirming that these people would not escape, the Chuanchuang people gave them a certain degree of freedom and allowed them to travel in the city.

Activities here.

Someone once asked what would happen if someone really escaped... Adze smiled and pointed to a chart on the wall, where the names, place of origin, family members and addresses of all seventy-eight workers were recorded! This is

The investigative skills that the guy developed in the detention center are indeed not lies. Through several pleasant individual conversations or warm and frank group chats, those simple and innocent Ming Dynasty country bumpkins have honestly mastered all the matters they can master.

The truth was fully explained. Of course, the imperial officers and soldiers from Danzhou were natives of their hometown, and even the pirates gave a clear introduction to the conditions of their lairs, fearing that the guards did not understand them in detail enough.

For this reason, Ade even boasted proudly: If there were any government officials in the Ming Dynasty who were half as capable as him, Liu Xiang, the great pirate leader, would have been uprooted long ago, and not even the scum would be left.

This information has been thoroughly grasped, and those workers have to consider the consequences even if they want to escape. The Travelers have given them a promise: work here for three years to bear the crime, and then they will be released home. But as a collective, if

If someone escapes early, all workers will be punished together.

The joint sitting system is very effective in this situation. The workers automatically monitor each other. Even if someone really has the idea of ​​​​escape, the companions who live together day and night will immediately stop him. The power of the masses is always huge, and Ade does not have to worry at all.

To guard someone, he only needs to set up rules and win over several labor leaders, and the rest will be taken care of by the group itself.

As these dozens of locals can freely enter and exit the "Green Zone" gate, they naturally become a bridge of communication between travelers and locals. Purchasing items has become more convenient, and now you can often see some sea fish on the dining tables of travelers.

and wild game in the mountains, all bought from nearby fishermen or hunters.

After trading a lot with local people, of course, we can no longer use modern coins to deceive others like Jie Xi did, but we can no longer do stupid things like fifty taels of silver to buy a pig. The currency most commonly used by Chuanzhong in daily transactions is

Rice - polished white rice processed by a threshing machine, mixed with a little whitening agent, looks white and translucent, has excellent quality, and is extremely popular in the local market. Every time you go to the market, you only need to push a cart of rice out, and it is basically

You can get enough meat and non-staple food in exchange. It's also good to go to the beach to find fishermen. One pound of this kind of polished rice can be exchanged for two pounds of fish, which is still the freshest.

However, this will greatly increase food consumption. If we continue to waste food reserves like this, I am afraid that it will not be able to support the next harvest period, and Wu Nanhai's farm will not see any benefits for a while... Pang Yu Jiexi and others

We held several meetings, hoping that everyone would be more restrained and not go to the warehouse to steal rice every three days. I specially named a few girls - Wang Jiaojiao, Zhu Yueyue, Su Muxue, Zhuo Yuan...etc.

, have actually been eating dried fish fillets as snacks recently, and it is obvious that there is a major shady suspicion in the material transaction process they are responsible for.

Of course, these girls refused to admit it and insisted that the fishermen uncles voluntarily gave them to them for free because they were cute.

But if we don’t trade, and we have to face the dry pickles mixed with radish strips after everyone is used to it, the temper will certainly not be good. Chef Li in the kitchen was criticized several times, and he became very angry.

Li threw the spoon several times and shouted that he quit.

This dilemma of life continued for a while, until classmate Wu Nanhai applied to build a salt farm on the beach.

The original purpose of setting up the salt farm was just to meet the needs of the travelers - the salt they carried on the ship was about to run out, and because the perverts in the chemistry team could not find saltpeter mines, they had recently started tossing around with chlorate medicine.

A lot of sodium chloride - table salt - is needed.

It is not difficult to build a salt farm by the sea. Pang Yu has visited the Xuwei Salt Farm in Lianyungang City before, and is still a little impressed with the modern salt production process and site requirements. After discussing with a few knowledgeable comrades, the salt farm drawings were quickly drawn up.

It was drawn.

Evaporation pond, regulating plate, crystallization plate, crystallization pond...the terms sound complicated, but in reality they are nothing more than cement ponds of various sizes. However, the location during construction needs to be carefully selected to ensure that enough seawater can be poured into the reservoir during high tide.

, and the salt flat itself cannot be affected by tides or storms.

There was no power supply at the beach, and the water pump could not be used, so we had to build several pedal-operated waterwheels to lift the seawater in the reservoir to the evaporation pool, and then pump the regulating plates (also known as regulating grids) and crystals step by step.

plates (also known as crystallization lattice), and finally enters the brine pond. The salt brine is clarified by the brine pond and then poured into the crystallization pond. On a sunny day, the brine in the crystallization pond can condense into coarse salt in just twelve hours.

In modern saltworks, the entire process is operated by machinery. Chuanzhong has no conditions and can only use manpower to do it. Fortunately, the amount they require is not too large. The saltworks do not need to start work every day and start preparations once or twice.

The salt should be enough for this group to use for a long time - Pang Yu considered this when he first designed it, but soon, he found that he was wrong.

And it's dead wrong.

Those natives of the Ming Dynasty must have become very tough after joining the group of Chuanchuangzong. Because they will face all kinds of incredible "miracles" anytime and anywhere. In addition to movies, electric lights, walkie-talkies, various

Such modern machinery... and even the two large glass mirrors hanging casually on the walls of the cafeteria are rare items that they have never even thought of in their lives.

However, all of these combined did not have as big an impact as the first time the salt was produced from the salt farm. This was something that no modern person present had expected. When the white salt soil was gathered into baskets by wooden shovels,

When they were carrying out the crystallization pond, many indigenous laborers actually burst into tears. Some even jumped out of the salt pond, took a handful of coarse salt blocks and stuffed them into their mouths regardless of the danger. If Ade hadn't rushed up with a stick in time to disperse the people, this would have happened.

A bunch of country bumpkins probably had to have their stomachs lavaged due to salt poisoning.

"***What's going on? How many times have I told you to calm down! Calm down! Don't make a fuss about everything!"

In front of most of the time-travelers, including all lesbians, these aboriginal workers' gaffes made Ade, who was responsible for managing them, feel very embarrassed. In addition to being responsible for the daily management of the workers, Ade, the leader of the "Human Resources Group", also

He is responsible for teaching them some daily knowledge, but judging from today's reaction, his teaching does not seem to be very successful.
