    Shui Wa and Huo Wa got off the boat and looked at the strange world in front of them. The docks and ports here didn't look as big as those in Tianjin. He had already seen the cement-paved playground in Tianjin.  Not too new.

    The mountains in the distance are lush with trees. The Ryukyu Castle not far away is a bustling scene. The huge city wall has been repaired for a long time. It is estimated that in a while, the Ryukyu Castle wall will be repaired.  .

    In Ryukyu City, you can already see some tall buildings. Like those here in Tianjin, they are all made of reinforced concrete and have glass windows, which are very beautiful.

    He dreams about whether he can also own a house made of reinforced concrete. In that case, he no longer has to worry about water leaks or the house will be crushed when there is heavy snow in winter.

    "This is Ryukyu?"

    Shui Wa and Huo Wa looked at everything here with their curious eyes.

    Fortunately, I have passed through Tianjin and seen the prosperity here. Otherwise, I would be like Yang Dalang and others, not even knowing about cement roads.

    ¡°Dang~dang~¡±

    Soon, with the arrival of new people, the entire Ryukyu City became busy.

    ¡°Same as recruiting people from Quanzhou, Shuiwa and the others were also divided into teams, and they followed the captains of their respective teams to build Ryukyu City.

    "I am your team captain Yang Dalang~"

    Yang Dalang said to the nine members of his team in somewhat lame Mandarin.

    He knew that this group of people was recruited from the north. The north is different from the south. Most people can understand and speak Mandarin. Unlike the south, where the pronunciation is different and the customs are different.  ,big difference.

    As the team leader, his first challenge is how to speak Mandarin so that the team members can understand.

    Shui Wa, Huo Wa and others looked at the man in front of them who was about the same age as themselves. Although his Mandarin was a bit lame, they could still understand him.

    "Everyone, come with me first. You must be hungry. I will take you to eat first. Before eating, I have some rules to explain to you~"

    Yang Dalang seemed a little nervous, with sweat pouring out from his forehead. It was his first time as a squad leader. In such a formal occasion, he felt his mind was in confusion, so after thinking about it, he could only learn from his old captain Liu Mingqi.  , while taking them to eat, he slowly explained to them some of the rules here.

    The nervous team leader and the team members who seemed a little strange and timid just arrived are all young men aged 17 or 18, with very strong learning ability and high plasticity.

    In just a few days, this group of 5,000 people from the north quickly adapted to everything here, and gradually became familiar with the people who came here first.

    After everyone got familiar with each other, Li Yuanshan followed Liu Jin's original instructions and began to divide people from the north and south. There were people from the south and people from the north in each team. Everyone spoke with different accents.  Get along with each other day and night and eliminate the barriers between regions.

    More importantly, Liu Jin is foreshadowing the future. Since ancient times, in the land of China, due to the barriers between regions, blood, clan, fellow villagers, classmates, etc. have easily formed small groups.

    The existence of this kind of small group will be very detrimental to the future of Ryukyu City, because the first thing a small group considers is the interests of its own small group, and it excludes others first.

    Just like the party struggles that gradually formed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, they were all represented by regionalism. The Chu Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Donglin Party, etc., these small groups represented by regionalism were endlessly fighting each other.  The battles even reached the point of disregarding the danger of the imperial court.

    Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the clan power in the Ming Dynasty is very strong. It has been a rule since ancient times that power should not go to the countryside.

    In rural areas at the lowest level, the law has no say but the elders of the clan have the final say. The law has no say in the face of clan rules. This phenomenon of clan power controlling local areas will still exist even in later generations.

    Ryukyu City is the escape route Liu Jin left for himself. Naturally, he will not allow the existence of clan forces, nor will he allow the existence of fellow countrymen forces.

    Because it is an immigrant city and place, Liu Jin can solve this problem from the beginning.

    The immigrants who are recruited are very particular. They will not recruit too many in the same place, and try to recruit young people. At the same time, after arriving here, they will have to recruit as many young people as possible.These have caused chaos and broken down the barriers between regions. In the future, Ryukyu will also use this strategy to recruit immigrants on a large scale.

    With people, money, efficient organization and planning, and infrastructure artifacts like cement, the construction speed of Ryukyu City is constantly improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

    The walls of Ryukyu City, the buildings in Ryukyu City, and even the entire Ryukyu City seem to be springing up from this wild land like bamboo shoots.

    In the second month, which is July of the twelfth year of Hongji, the outermost wall of Ryukyu City has been built. The three-foot-tall city wall is all built with cement and quarried stones. It is very fast.  It is no worse than the walls of any city in the Ming Dynasty.

    If it weren¡¯t for the wild nature of Ryukyu, Liu Jin didn¡¯t even want to set up a city wall at first, because the city wall would limit the development of a city.

    But later, considering the importance of Ryukyu Castle, we finally decided to build a city wall. Based on this Ryukyu Castle, we will slowly expand to the entire Ryukyu Island. Since it is the foundation, it is natural to build a city wall.

    The closing of the tall city wall also made Li Yuanshan breathe a sigh of relief. With the city wall, the entire Ryukyu City would be much safer. Coupled with the artillery, Li Yuanshan felt that even if 100,000 people came to Ryukyu Island, these local barbarians would not be able to take it.  Lower Ryukyu Castle.

    In addition to the city walls that have been built, many important buildings in Ryukyu City have also begun to be built one after another, and batches of people are constantly recruited from the north, Fujian, and Zhejiang.

    In just two months, there are already more than 30,000 people in Ryukyu City. Such a huge population makes the entire Ryukyu City extremely lively.

    There are more than 30,000 people. In addition to people continuing to build Ryukyu City, Li Yuanshan has also begun to organize people to carry out reclamation. With Ryukyu City as the center, fields are slowly beginning to appear in the surrounding large areas of previously wild land.

    Because it is a brand new place of immigration, all the land and wealth here belong to the Ryukyu City founded by Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao, and Zhang Mao, and it has not experienced the changes of the years.

    Therefore, all reclaimed land is planned and reclaimed in a unified way. Each field is very large, which facilitates unified management and makes it easier to use some simple machinery for farming as much as possible to save manpower.

    All the reclaimed fields in Ryukyu Castle were planted with sugar cane as soon as possible. Sugar cane planting can be divided into two seasons. Spring is carried out from February to April, and harvest can be done from May to July. In autumn  It is planted in August-September and can be harvested in December. A planting period is 3 months.

    It¡¯s July of the twelfth year of Hongji¡¯s reign, so it¡¯s a little late. But this is Ryukyu, with plenty of light and heat. It¡¯s the most suitable place for growing sugar cane. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s a little later.

    If it weren¡¯t for it being too late, Li Yuanshan would even want to plant rice. The climate here is also very suitable for rice cultivation.

    In addition to planting sugar cane, Li Yuanshan also did not forget Liu Jin's words and planted vegetables and fruits in a large area around Ryukyu City.

    Fruits do not need to occupy fertile land. The surrounding forest areas that have just been cut down can be used to grow fruits. Of course, it will take several years for the fruits to bear fruit, and you will not see any benefits for a while.

    But vegetables are different. It's July now, and in a few months, it will start to get cold in the northern region. Once the weather gets cold, vegetables will no longer be grown. Even the rich and powerful here in the capital will find it hard to eat.  to a meal of fresh vegetables.

    But there is no such problem here in Ryukyu. Even if there is rarely ice or frost in winter, the temperature is still very high, which is very suitable for growing vegetables.

    Sow seeds now, and by the twelfth lunar month of winter, these vegetables will be almost ready for harvest. At that time, these vegetables will be transported to Tianjin and Beijing, and they will be kept so that rich people who are tired of eating meat can buy them back.

    Sugar cane and vegetables are things that Liu Jin has planned to bring a certain amount of income this year. The shareholders of Ryukyu City must see the income from their investment, so that they can be stimulated to continue investing in Ryukyu City and continue to recruit more people.  More people come to Ryukyu to cultivate more land and plant more sugar cane and vegetables.

    After all, interests are the most powerful driving force. Since ancient times, not many people have done things without interests. Even if some people have done it, it is definitely not possible in the long run.

    Only those who do profitable things will continue to do them, and they will be able to do them bigger and bigger.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
