In the following day, Zhu Long did not go anywhere. He sat in his study and thought about the order of building the city.
First, before starting the construction of the city, he had to make preparations, including the construction materials listed on the blueprint and the labor required to build the city!
Only then could they start building the city.
The construction materials had to be produced by themselves, so the number of workers was the most important and the first problem to be solved.
Zhu Long calculated the maximum number of laborers he could provide in detail.
Han civilians: 8000 people in total, 1000 men in their prime could participate in the construction, and the rest were women, children, and the elderly, who were not suitable for such physical labor.
Han soldiers: 5000 in total. Military training can be temporarily suspended. 500 will be left to patrol the shores of Lake Baikal. The remaining 4500 can participate in the construction of the city.
[Menggu people: 8000 people in total. These people must all participate in the construction of the city without any consideration.]
There were 1019 people in total. There was no need to consider them. All of them would participate in the construction of the city.
There were about 200 people in the Residence of Vermillion Dragon. Except for Vermillion Dragon, Changle, and the four chefs, the rest were all palace maids and eunuchs. They were usually responsible for serving Vermillion Dragon and Changle's meals and daily life. They were not required to participate in the construction of the city. Even if they were allowed to participate, the eunuchs and palace maids did not have much strength, so there was no need to consider it.
Adding up all the laborers who could participate in the construction of the city, the total number was 14519.
In other words, the maximum number of people he could mobilize now was 14519!
He then looked at the building materials he currently had:
Sand: 0 tons
20 tons of cement
Steel bars: 30 tons
[Hollow Bricks: 500,000]
They were all pitifully few, almost negligible compared to the construction materials required on the list.
Basically, every material needed to be produced on a large scale.
From the looks of it, the current labor force of 14519 people was far from enough!
He had to continue increasing the population!
It was more like having a labor force of 30000 people!
In other words, Zhu Long had to find a way to increase the labor force by more than 15000 people!!
"15000 people, this is not a small number…"
Zhu Long frowned slightly and lowered his head in deep thought.
Siberia lacked nothing but population.
In the north, north of Lake Baikal, the weather was often below zero degrees Celsius. There were many exiled Russian criminals. Zhu Long had sent six Russian criminals out to search for them. It had been more than three months, but there was still no news. They could not be counted on for the time being.
After thinking about it, Zhu Long felt that it was better to make an issue out of the Menggu people in the south.
Ever since Zhu Long's assistance with advanced weapons, the strength of the Menggu people in the Cong Mountains of the Western Regions had increased. However, compared to the Menggu people in the Mobei region, the advantage was still not obvious. This was because the Menggu people in the Mobei region had the support of the Qing Dynasty. They were evenly matched, and neither side could do anything to the other. Therefore, the scale of the battle between the two sides was very limited.
In this case, the number of captives that could be obtained was very small. 5,000 was almost the limit. 15,000 was simply impossible.
If the Menggu people in the Cong Mountains of the Western Regions had an overwhelming advantage over the Menggu people in Mobei, they would naturally send out all their troops to attack the Menggu people in Mobei. This way, the scale of the battle would naturally expand, and the number of prisoners would also increase. The labor force that Zhu Long lacked would also be settled.
Zhu Long thought about it seriously for a while and felt that this idea was feasible.
"Yes, for this idea to succeed, the key is to find a way to help the Mongolians in the Cong Mountains of the Western Regions increase their strength. It is a good idea to provide them with advanced cold weapons. However, it is obvious that just providing weapons is not enough, because the last time we provided weapons, we only managed to get 5,000 prisoners.”
Zhu Long lowered his head again and pondered. After a while, a bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind!
If Zhu Long personally went to the Cong Mountains in the Western Regions to meet the Menggu people, he could use his global navigation ability to guide them during the war. It would definitely give them a great advantage!
