After five months of hard work.
The entire army and the people tightened their belts. Fortunately, these survivors of the Shang Dynasty did not rebel. They were hardworking and did not complain.
They worked during the day and gathered together in the evening. Scholars taught them to study the Four Books and Five Classics, read Chinese, and learn Chinese characters.
In five months, the outline of the new city had already taken shape. The first batch of corn and sweet potatoes that had been sown could already be seen harvesting.
The potatoes would have to wait for a while.
After the new city's outer walls were completed, the construction of the inner city was also on the right track.
With the organized and disciplined production and construction, the number of survivors of the Shang Dynasty gathered around the new city had reached 300,000.
Among them, there were some who joined the new army formed by the survivors of the Shang Dynasty.
Zhu Xiong Ying gave them the title of the 5th Army Governor's Office, the garrison of the rear army area.
40,000 people were distributed steel knives to train, learn, and participate in the big project of cutting mountains and forests.
Five months, just five short months.
With the development of high-end technology and abundant manpower and material resources, these survivors of the Shang Dynasty could already speak the official language of the Ming Dynasty fluently.
More importantly, they worshiped Zhu Xiongying as if he was a god.
This imperial grandson who brought technology, productivity, and advanced culture did not kill them and treated them equally.
These five months were also crucial for Zhu Xiongying.
He learned how to farm, how to make mud bricks, and how to deal with the relationship and conflict between the survivors of the Shang Dynasty and the people of the Celestial Dynasty.
Ming Dynasty Hongwu 22nd year, 3rd of April.
New city, outer city wall.
Zhu Xiong Ying looked at the outline of the city wall in front of him. The city wall was 150 feet tall and 45 feet wide. The tall and majestic city wall stood on the ground.
"This is the first city built by Great Ming in the East Victory Divine Continent. Big brother, name it.”Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.
"Nephew, we've already made a clear survey. There's a mountain range about 90 miles east of this city. Your Uncle Fifteen and I want to use this mountain range to divide the east and west!”
"This city is the main city in the east, and the state capital is set up there. To the south, there is a river that is neither too big nor too small, separating the north from the south.”
"In this area, according to the plan, we should build three county cities and two pass cities to protect the government!”
Zhu Quan said.
"Great Ming built the first city here and divided it into prefectures, counties, and prefectures, but this will not be the last city!”
"Since Gao Chi has already named the mountain in the east as Amethyst Mountain and the river in the south as Dingyong River, then this city will be called Purple River City!”
"The area under its jurisdiction will be called the Purple Calming River Prefecture Administrative Commissioner Division.”Zhu Xiongying said casually.
However, he would never have thought that the Ziding River Prefecture's Administrative Commissioner Division would become the world's number one port trading city in the next thousand years.
"The construction of the county can be slowed down. Let's hurry up and build the port. Once the port is done, the corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes here will be harvested!”
"We can bring a batch back when the time comes. As for the investigation of the mine, are there still no results?”
Zhu Xiong Ying gritted his teeth. His memory told him that there were many mountains of gold and silver in the East Victory Divine Continent, but why couldn't he find a single one?
"The exploration of the mines still needs time to accumulate. In a short period of time, it will be difficult to make progress. At present, we have only found five iron mines and one copper mine.”
" However, these mines have huge reserves. We didn't bring enough things with us. It'll be difficult to mine them," Zhu Gaochi sighed.
"We have to overcome the difficulties. Miao Jin and I have already decided on the date. It is now the 22nd year of Hongwu, April. The preliminary date of return will be in the 24th year of Hongwu, August.”
"Which of you three will stay?"
Zhu Xiong Ying looked at Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Quan, and Zhu Zhi.
Zhu Zhi quickly said," Nephew, didn't you say that you would give Japan to me? I won't stay. I have to go back!"”
"Sigh, if I don't go, the old man will kill you. Nephew, don't mess around. I want to go back too!”Zhu Quan said.
Only Zhu Gaochi was left. At this moment, he shook his big ears and said with a smile,"Then why don't I stay?”
"When the time comes, big brother will bring a letter back.”Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.
He had a good impression of this East Victory Divine Continent. Looking at these hardworking and hardworking survivors of the Shang Dynasty, Zhu Gaochi wanted to stay.
"But I promised Fourth Uncle that I would bring you back.”Zhu Xiong Ying was in a dilemma as he looked at Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi, who was smiling foolishly, just waved his hand and said,""It's okay. My father won't care about me. Big brother, you can go back by yourself!”
"What's the rush? There's still two years and four months left. Build the palace."
"In addition to the cargo distribution warehouse, the port also needs to build a shipyard. The wood cut down in the mountains is selected and sent to the shipyard.”
"In addition, we have to hurry up with Tonghua. Next time, we have to send more teachers over!”
Zhu Xiong Ying had already treated the Ziding River Prefecture as the core province of the Ming Dynasty, striving to develop it.
There was no lack of basic facilities.
Zhu Quan said," You're already here. Nephew, why don't we go out hunting? I've been eating fish for half a year now. I feel like puking whenever I see fish."”
Zhu Zhi strongly agreed." Yes, bring some musketeers and a group of defense troops. It won't be dangerous."”
"I know it's not dangerous. You guys go on your own. I'll go back and take a nap later. I was busy the whole night yesterday and didn't sleep.”Zhu Xiong Ying turned around and walked into the inner room.
Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan looked at each other. Zhu Zhi said,"Hunting?"
"Let's go!"
The two brothers left.
