The demand for 150 big ships
After passing through the abaca forest and passing through a small forest, the place is considered to be reached, and then, it is weeding. They need to open a place to build a camp here first. Nowadays, there are a lot of labor here, and things start quickly. Li You asked people to chop down a lot of trees to lay a trestle bridge near the river. Even if the river is not deep and not suitable for large boats to travel, it is possible to use small boats to transport materials, so the trestle bridge must be laid.
In the afternoon, the fleet came over. It seems that the depth of the water here is sufficient for sailing. Fortunately, the boat here is not more than 40 meters. Otherwise, if you want to turn around in the river less than twenty feet wide. Can't do it.
As the fleet arrived, the talents began to move all the materials that accompanied the ship, most of which were the raw materials and utensils used for construction, as well as carts and cattle. With the carts, work here will also be faster. . As for the fleet, they will go to Guangzhou tomorrow to open up a route. Although it is 2,000 miles away from Guangzhou, it will be only four days away. This time Li You intends to transport more basic materials from Guangzhou to repair the city, and does not intend to find these materials here.
Because most of the raw materials are in the mountains, and there are many aborigines in the mountains, he doesn't want to have any conflicts with the other party at this time.
The next day, they began to work in full. The small woods by the camp and the two woods by the river became the objects of felling. The mature trees were left behind, and the others were all burned into carbon. Some people dig river sand and clay by the river, while others start to find a place to build the mouth of the kiln, but they do it very quickly.
Li You had nothing to do, so he took people to go deep into the grassland to hunt and check the terrain. Here he planned to build a big city, so he had to check this place completely, but he brought people a hoe and a shovel. After walking a mile, he would ask someone to dig a deep hole in the ground. Although everyone was puzzled, he still did what Li You meant.
The soil here is deep, and no gravel has been dug out. It is not a sandy land. This also made Li You clear. This time they walked a little far, and they walked directly for ten miles before returning, and this distance was the length of a wall of the city.
If you want to build such a big city, this number of people is obviously not enough. It needs to wait for the aborigines of Liuqi to move over next month. There are not thousands of people. If you want to build such a big city, you don’t know how to build such a big city. It.
In the settlement in the north of Liuqiu, there are already 3,000 people who came to Luzon in the early stage. These 3,000 people are specially selected. They now not only regard Li You as a leader, but also as a blessing. Great God, this is faith, and it is the credit of Ono Maro. And these people still know a few Da Tang words more or less, so they were selected here. For the tens of thousands of indigenous people in Liuqiu, it seems that it is better to go to Luzon than stay on the island of Liuqiu. It can be seen that Ono Maro has spent a lot of thought. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
In the next few days, Li You was still walking through the grassland with people. He didn't stop until the fleet arrived again eleven days later. This time, the task of the fleet is to transport people to the northern settlement of Liuqiu. It takes two trips of the fleet to transport the people. This also makes Li You feel that it is time to build a bigger ship. He has to take a trip to the Gulf of Siam.
Two days later, he sailed away with the fleet, but his destination was the Gulf of Siam, not Liuqiu. It is far away from the Gulf of Siam. Even his high-speed sailing boat takes eight or nine days to go.
When Li You arrived here, it was already mid-January, and Siam City had only started construction for less than a month. A wall more than 300 meters long had been built. It was a battle thick and five feet high. Li You really looked at the city wall and shook his head. It seemed that there were many people and power. At this rate, this city wall can be built in less than a year. New Bayi Chinese website first released https://https://
In a simple house in the camp, Nangong Yi smiled and gave Li You a salute before asking, "A Lang is so worried, so he came here to take a look?"
"I'm here not to see how your city is built, but to look for Jiang Chun, to ask him about teak."
Gouzi poured a bowl of water for Li You and said, "Young master feels at ease. In the mountains sixty miles northwest, Jiang Chun has found teak. Our people are leading people to chop it down, but this teak is too tall to be possible. When it was shipped out, Chen Yu was taking people around to catch elephants, hoping to transport the teak wood with elephants."
Li You shook his head and said: "If there are few elephants, they can't be shipped. Good teak is too thick and thicker than one person. If you want to haul it out, I'm afraid it will have more than ten elephants!"
Nangong Yi said: "Although hard bamboo is reliable as a roller, it also requires a lot of manpower. Now this place is full of women and children, and this method is also difficult to work."
"Then stop here for a while. I need a lot of teak to build ships. Now our sea-going ships are not suitable for ocean going, and the transportation capacity is not large. Now eight ships are going to transport people to Luzon, and it takes two. Go, oh! I am now determined to build an ocean-going ship."
Nangong Yi asked: "This is no problem, but how many people can you ship on the ocean-going ship you built? If it is less, it would be better not to build it."
"Less? One ship can carry thousands of people for a month without replenishment. Do you think this ship is small? If it is short-distance sailing, one ship can carry two thousand people. If it is to transport food, one ship can carry tens of thousands stone."
He was also saying that everyone was a little surprised. There were big ships in the river, but they weren’t that big, let alone sea ships. If such a big ship were built to transport materials and personnel, it would really be. One time is enough.
"Then how long does it take to build this ship?" Nangong Yi asked.
"Even in the Zhuhai Garden Shipyard, only two ships can be built a year. This ship is too big, nearly four feet tall, and the hull is more than thirty feet long."
Nangongyi said, "Well, work here will be suspended tomorrow, and everyone will be sent to the mountains. In this way, more than ten pieces of wood can be transported back at one time."
Li You nodded. He really wanted to accomplish this this year. As long as more than ten pieces of wood were transported back this time, two ships could be built, and these two ships would be enough. In the future, there will be an increase of two ships per year, and within a few years, the capacity will no longer be an annoying matter.
The next day, more than 3,000 people started to move. They first found a bamboo forest at the bottom of the mountain and cut down a lot of bamboo to lay on the ground. In addition to bamboo, they also cut down a lot of small trees to use as rolling logs.
After all these were prepared, each piece of wood was pushed by two hundred people and transported to the river twenty miles away by manpower. Finally, the wood was transported to the seaside by special personnel through the river. (End of this chapter)
