"Why do you lack everything?" Zhu Xiongying gritted his teeth. He had brought so many things with him when he came. He had thought that it would be enough.
After coming here, their preferential policies and powerful army made the survivors of the Shang Dynasty within hundreds of miles come to seek refuge.
Three county cities and one prefecture city, the population was about to reach a million.
" Ask the Association Defense Army to increase their efforts in exploring the surrounding areas. We must find iron ore. As for the river, use wooden tools and dig by hand. We must dig out eight coal washing pits and two waste water pits within two months.”
"Diversion from the Eastwood River. Dig."
Zhu Xiongying really couldn't think of any other way. Anyway, he had a lot of people under him. The distance from Xihe to the coal mine was only a few dozen miles.
However, Zhu Xiongying said it lightly.
However, it was really not an ordinary task.
However, Zhu Xiongying didn't want to see any of this. After confirming the plan, Zhu Gaochi would recruit migrant workers, and Feng Cheng would lead the army to guard it.
As usual, Zhu Xiong Ying and Xu Miaojin became the two most idle people in the entire Ziding River Prefecture.
Of course, this was only relative.
The days that they were glued to each other always passed by so quickly.
Time flew by and it was the middle of April in the 23rd year of Hongwu.
Zhu Xiongying brought Xu Miaojin to the coal mine construction site in a carriage.
Houses that stretched endlessly, trees that had been cut down, and high-quality wood had long been sent to Ziding Harbor. It was the second small project after Ziding River Prefecture City, the harbor where the Ming Navy was stationed.
There were piles of things that would follow the Ming Navy and Zhu Xiong Ying back to Ming.
The seeds of the crops were carefully cultivated, and many of the seeds of the fruits and vegetables were still being cultivated. It was still unknown whether they could take them away this time.
When Zhu Xiongying appeared at the coal mine.
Zhu Quan, who was completely black, revealed a mouthful of white teeth as he smiled and said,"Nephew, you're finally willing to come. We've dug it out and have already started to draw water. According to the plan, we can wash the coal tonight!”
"Take out the washed coal and send it to the alchemy furnace at the Kobold Mountain. Then, you can start melting the gold!”
Zhu Quan had a smile on his face.
Zhu Xiong Ying also smiled and said," Seventeenth Uncle, what are you doing? Hurry up and go in and wash the coal before it goes into the water!"”
"Come on, if you don't work, I have to work. I still have to go to the Kobold Mountain in a while to see how much Kobold Gold they have piled up!”
Zhu Quan had never felt so carefree before. This group of survivors of the Shang Dynasty knew their place very well. Naturally, this was also because the teachers had taught them well.
However, Zhu Quan's actions had greatly moved a large group of survivors of the Shang Dynasty.
His Highness was working, so how could they be lazy?
Zhu Xiongying said," Alright, that's enough. There's still a year left. This time next year, we'll be returning."”
"Try to melt five large ships of gold bars within this year. The training of the soldiers has stopped, but the food here has to be supplied!”
After Zhu Xiongying finished speaking, Zhu Gaochi, who was at the side, said,"Big brother, don't worry. During this period of time, hundreds of warships have been going out to sea to fish. The fish and prawns here are big and the meat is delicious. As long as the seafood is not stopped, there won't be any problems!”
"How many commoners have you recruited?"
Zhu Xiongying pointed to the resting shed at the side. It was really endless.
Zhu Gaochi said," We don't have enough ironware. We've allocated more than 50,000 laborers here. There are still 70,000 laborers left on the Kobold Mountain. The rest are repairing the city walls and farming!”
Zhu Gaochi had gradually taken over the entire Ziding River Prefecture from Zhu Xiong Ying's hands. With Zhu Xiong Ying's tacit approval, Zhu Gaochi began to build this new continent according to his own thoughts.
Zhu Xiongying had to return to the ship eventually. If he didn't give up his power and let Zhu Gaochi familiarize himself with the situation here in advance, it would be too late to say anything when he left.
Zhu Xiong Ying nodded slightly and said," Alright then. Let the soldiers perk up. Those who are tired can rest for a while. Those who lead the trouble will be punished on the spot. There is no need to report!"”
The last year was the only chance for him to make a breakthrough. If something were to happen at this time, then Zhu Xiongying's hard work would go down the drain.
Zhu Gaochi stepped forward. He pulled Zhu Xiongying's hand and walked into the distance.
When there was no one on either side, Zhu Gaochi said,""Big brother, recently, the people below said that they found three mines, a silver mine, an iron mine, and a coal mine.。”
"If you have a mine, dig it up. After you dig it up, use the furnace to melt it. This time, you can't take too much away.”
"Let's talk after we've dug up the gold mine in the Kobold Mountain. After I leave, you can start digging over there bit by bit.”
Zhu Xiongying calculated in his heart. There were enough civilian workers, but there was still pressure on the skills. Fortunately, there was still some time.
In a year, he should be able to refine a lot of gold.
"Big Brother, according to the current production, I feel that we can still recruit more commoners. Moreover, can we let Uncle Fifteen and Uncle Seventeen, or Chen Zhao, go out and publicize it?”
"I don't know how big the East Victory Divine Continent is, but I feel like we're still at the tip of the iceberg.”
"If I can use them all, the efficiency of mining will increase greatly.”Zhu Gaochi said with certainty.
At first, he felt that there were too many people and he could not afford to take care of them. Now, he was short of manpower. It seemed that all the people in power were like this. The kind-hearted Zhu Gaochi even wanted Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi to go out and look for them.
"Ask them what they mean. If they're willing, it's naturally good. You guys go ahead…" Zhu Xiongying took a look.
There was nothing worth waiting for anymore.
