Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 527 Jump
It has been more than a month since Taichang rushed to Sula, and the entire city of South Lakota, or the entire Scott Department, has completely changed its appearance.

At this moment, the tens of miles of city walls around the city of South Lakota are almost completed. The walls with a height of more than ten feet, together with the gate towers, watchtowers and arrow stacks, look very spectacular. It is estimated that there are not many such magnificent cities in Europe.

The residential houses in the city have also been built at this moment—a street, which is directly five or six miles long. The styles of the residential houses on both sides are exactly the same, with a square wall and a There are two or three hundred square meters of brick and tile houses with herringbone eaves.

This kind of dwellings even looks better than the dwellings in ordinary county towns in Daming, not that the dwellings here are larger than those in ordinary counties in Daming, mainly because they are neat.

Because the dwellings in Daming are generally built by the common people themselves, some are big and some are small, rich people may occupy an area of ​​more than ten mu or even tens of mu, while poor people may not have the size of one mu.

In this way, it does not look as beautiful as this uniformly built house.

A street five or six miles long is full of identical yards, what does it look like?
Standing on the gravel-paved street in the middle, Taichang looked at the identical courtyards on both sides, and couldn't help asking: "Yanru, have you ever thought that if this person is careless, he might not be able to find his home after going out?" .”

Well, this question was indeed overlooked.

Peng Bin said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, otherwise, we will nail a number plate to the gate of each courtyard like a test shed."

It is a very good idea to nail a number plate on the gate of each yard, but the number plate of the test shed cannot be used.

Because the number plates in the examination room are all arranged according to the celestial stems and earth, and the Indian tribes don't even know the words at the moment, how can they tell the number plates clearly.

Taichang smiled slightly and said: "Let's just use the number plates instead of the heavenly stems and earthly branches. If you use numbers, tell them a little bit and they will understand. If you use the heavenly stems and earthly branches, they will probably be confused, because they Right now, I can’t understand such complicated words at all.”

Hearing this, Peng Bin couldn't help but suddenly said, "I understand."

Taichang nodded slightly and said, "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

After finishing speaking, he took Concubine Su into the nearest courtyard and wandered around.

The layout of the yard is pretty good. There is a large flat in the front and several vegetable fields in the back. The room in the middle is a lobby. There is a large dining table and four long benches in the middle of the lobby.

There are wing rooms on the left and right sides of the house, and there are a set of simple wooden beds, wardrobes and small tables and chairs inside.

At the back is the kitchen, firewood room and hut, all pots and pans are also prepared, and there are even wooden buckets and large pottery water tanks.

Concubine Su Su Yi walked around with great interest, and then she couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, this courtyard is so beautiful, why don't we move in as well."

Uh, this is called beautiful?
You have never been to the Imperial Palace in the capital, and you don't know how beautiful it is inside.

Taichang smiled slightly and said: "This house is for ordinary people to live in. The place we live is called the imperial palace or the palace. The palace in the capital of the Eastern Yin Dynasty is not very beautiful because we don't live there often. When you return to the capital, you will know that the palace has How beautiful."

Oh.

Su Yi could only sigh with a little regret.

It seems that Concubine Su really likes this kind of small courtyard.

Seeing this, Peng Bin hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, why don't we let two hundred households from the Scott tribe move in first?"

Hearing this, Taichang thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "This is not enough, the bed must be equipped with quilts and pillows, and the kitchen must also be equipped with oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and food. Otherwise, how do people cook and sleep?"

Uh, this is a bit difficult!

Peng Bin thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, we don't seem to be short of oil and salt, but the sauce and vinegar Weichen seems to have never seen a merchant ship pull over. Also, the bedding and pillows are stuffed with cotton. There is only cloth but no cotton!"

Ok.

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Let's forget about the sauce and vinegar first, let the Western merchants bring more next time, as for the quilts and pillows, we can send a boat to the Spaniards to buy a few shipments of cotton.

This time we are not just building a house for people to live in, we are going to let them live a life similar to ordinary people in Daming.

This seems to be very simple for us, but it is not so simple for them.

You have to understand that they used to live basically the life of primitive tribes. Many things, which we seem to be very ordinary, they have never seen before.

Moreover, it is impossible for us to stay here and teach people these most basic things.

So, this time, we have to spend more time and think carefully, you know? "

Oh, it turns out that it is not just as simple as building a house for people.

Peng Bin hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

There is also a reason why Taichang made such a generous move.

Near the San Francisco stronghold in the west, there will be secret reports every few days. It is either a large gold mine or a small gold mine.

At this moment, several large gold mines have been discovered there, and more than ten small gold mines have been discovered.

If every gold mine was mined like Iwami Yinshan, it would not be a problem to mine tens of millions of taels of gold a year!
Not to mention that there is gold all over the place, it will definitely not be a problem to mine it wildly for decades.

In other words, the gold mines discovered there can at least cover the income of Daming for decades, so what is this small amount of money?

Besides, he really wanted the Indian tribe to develop quickly, not to mention one step at a time, to catch up with Daming's current level, at least, the daily life of ordinary people had to catch up with Daming's current level as soon as possible.

At the moment, the entire city of South Lakota is in full swing, and there are soldiers from the Shenwu Battalion and young and strong Sioux busy everywhere, some are burning bricks and tiles, some are chopping trees, some are building ports, and some are using Saw machines to create simple household items and simple flat wagons and more.

In short, all kinds of construction skills and simple life skills are taught by the soldiers of the Shenwu Camp to the young and strong of the Sioux tribe.

The young and strong of these Sioux tribes also learned quite quickly, especially building houses. With experience in building city walls, and what they built at the beginning was bungalows of uniform specifications, their proficiency and construction speed were all the same. Cengceng up.

The streets in the city are taking shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within a few days, there will be a brand new residential street.

All kinds of daily necessities were also continuously transported here by Spike warships, and less than ten days later, the first batch of civilians from Scott's department moved into the brand new courtyard.

They simply reached the sky in one step, and entered the modern society from the primitive society in one leap!

What did they have before?
They lived in thatched huts made of branches and dry grass. It would be good to have a few simple pottery and a few animal skins at home.

Now, not only do they live in brand-new brick and tile houses, they also have tables, chairs and benches, beds and wardrobes, pots and pans, bedding and clothes, oil, salt and soap horn, and other daily necessities.

It has to be said that only Daming can help them achieve this kind of leap-forward development, but not all European countries.

Because Daming is the only one that can produce and provide such a complete range of living materials at this moment, it is estimated that ordinary people in European countries do not have such a complete set of things in their homes.

Besides, European countries are not so kind.

They are invaders, colonists, they are robbers.

They are here to grab things, to help people with construction and development, that is impossible!
