Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 743 The Wood Problem

The people of the Giant Horse Tribe began to migrate, and no one would dare to disobey the order given by the chief.

A Suzu didn't even need to explain the reason, he just gave the order.

As for why, it is very simple, because the great chief is the messenger of God.

Without the guidance and protection of the envoy, it would be impossible for the giant horse tribe to develop into such a large scale. What the envoy said is the will of God, and it must be correct, beyond doubt.

If anyone dares to disobey the words of the envoy, everyone will really kill him!

Taichang really didn't expect that the people of the Giant Horse Tribe would be so straightforward and move as soon as they said they wanted to. When they returned to the mouth of the Sancha River, Wang Chong's hundreds of teams of Spike warships had basically pulled people back.

It's a pity that they didn't bring many people back.

Because the giant horse tribe didn't have a map, even the great chief didn't know where each tribe was distributed.

They can only follow the method of the giant horse tribe. After finding a tribe, let the people of this tribe lead them to other nearby tribes, and then let the people of other tribes go to the tribe farther away from the big river.

It takes a lot of time to find it like this, and people migrate slowly in places where the Spike warships cannot go. Walking in the jungle is not like sailing in the river, not to mention that they are migrating with their families. To be able to travel thirty miles through the jungle is considered a feat.

After listening to Wang Chong's report, Taichang looked at their latest map of the location of the tribe, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Migrating like this doesn't seem to work.

The first day should be the fastest, but less than 5 people were pulled over, and there will definitely be fewer and fewer people in the future.

After all, those who are close to the big river and easy to migrate basically migrated on the first day, and the rest must be far away from the big river.

If the giant horse tribe has 50 million people, it may not be able to migrate in a month.

Taichang stared at the map carefully for a while, and then said decisively: "Zhongyong, divide your Spike warships into four groups.

There is one on the south bank of the Amazon River, one in the middle of the two largest tributaries, and one on the north bank of the Giant Horse River.

I will send [-] Aegis ships and [-] armed merchant ships to take turns to transfer. The Aegis ships on the Juma River side can go out to the bay and then enter the main Juma River, and the transfer speed will not be affected.

You set up a few more assembly points near the big rivers in these four places, and then leave a little food and meat, so that all the people of the giant horse tribe can gather at these assembly points.

After they have assembled themselves, you can send Spike warships to pull people over non-stop, try to transfer about 10 people in one day, and complete the migration in five days. "

This is indeed much faster.

Wang Chong hastily cupped his hands and bowed, "The general will understand."

Early the next morning, Taichang took A Suzu, Li Shuchu and others and less than [-] Juma tribe civilians who had migrated to Xinma City.

At this time, the pharmaceutical factory in Xinma City had already built many factory buildings and stilt buildings for drying medicinal materials, and even the construction of places for employees to live.

The barracks alongside the city walls have also been built.

If they officially move in, nearly 20 soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion and the young and strong of the North American Indian tribe will have no problem living in it.

If you just stuff people inside, it is estimated that another 50 million people will not be a problem.

The people of the Giant Horse tribe used to live in thatched huts and sleep on rattan beds. The conditions were quite difficult.

Now let them live in a clean, tidy, ventilated house on stilts without any humidity. It's really nothing to squeeze a little bit.

After all, even if they slept on the wooden floor, it was much more comfortable than sleeping on the rattan bed.

As for food, the Indian tribes in North America sent over millions of stones, tens of thousands of cattle, and even as much fish as they wanted.

Therefore, even if all the people of the Juma tribe migrated here, they would not have to worry about their food and housing.

Of course, this is not the point.

The focus now is how to get them to burn the branches all over the ground into charcoal as soon as possible, and how to store the wood piled up like a mountain to avoid getting wet and soaked by the rain.

These are all money, just the branches all over the ground, if they can be burned into charcoal, the value is tens of millions of taels.

And those woods are even more terrible. If you count the mahogany inside, the value is simply inestimable.

As for how to store wood and how to burn charcoal, Taichang is not very good at these.

He left these problems to Peng Bin to figure out a solution.

To be honest, the former Ministry of Industry was equivalent to doing odd jobs. Among the six yamen, it was the lowest status, and they were basically responsible for all messy jobs.

Just like burning charcoal, the Ministry of Industry was originally responsible for making gunpowder, and making black powder required a lot of charcoal.

These charcoals for making black powder were not given to them to burn, and they had to do everything by themselves.

Therefore, they are also experts in burning charcoal.

When Taichang recruited Peng Bin, he even brought some blueprints with him.

Does that mean ready?
Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help asking: "Yanru, have you figured out how to store wood and burn charcoal?"

There are not many ways to think about this, it mainly depends on which method you want to choose.

Hearing this, Peng Bin quickly put the blueprint in front of Taichang respectfully, and then introduced in detail: "Your Majesty, I have thought of three ways to store wood.

The first, the simplest, is to dismantle the tents brought by Shenwuying and the North American Indian tribe An Qingzhuang, and use them as rainproof cloth.

In this way, it is only necessary to nail four inclined shed-style wooden stakes on the ground, then tie the tarpaulins made of these tents to them, lay a few rows of bricks on the ground, and then pile up the logs.

The second way is more troublesome, that is to let the young and strong of the giant horse tribe build a grass shed, and then put a few rows of bricks on the ground to pile the logs on it.

Although this is troublesome, we don't need to bother to teach it. They must be experts in building thatched huts.

The third, the most troublesome, is to build warehouses directly in our planned shipyard area and timber storage area, just like the military equipment city.

This is the most time-consuming, because we still have to put cement on the ground and repair ditches.

However, in this way, the warehouse in the timber storage area is equivalent to being built, and the timber warehouse in the shipyard is also built by the way. In the future, we only need to build some docks and wood processing workshops, and dig more than a hundred waterways. That's it.

Your Majesty, which one do you think is most suitable? "

This is of course the third most suitable.

Just kidding, I demolished the tents brought by the Shenwu Camp and the North American Indian tribe Qing Zhuang. They may be fighting soon. What if there are no tents?
As for the construction of thatched sheds, it is a waste of time. Not to mention the trouble of building them, they will have to be demolished at that time.

Taichang said without hesitation: "Let's choose the third one. If it's a little troublesome, it's a little troublesome. Let's try to get it right in one step, and don't go back and forth repeatedly demolishing and building, building and demolishing.

And what about burning charcoal? What do you think about it? "

This is up to you to decide.

Peng Bin asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, how much charcoal do you want to spend a day?"

Taichang said without hesitation: "The more the better, of course, you have seen how many branches there are on the ground, if you don't burn tens of millions of catties of charcoal a day, then it is estimated that these branches will not be burned for several years."

Tens of millions of catties a day?
Peng Bin asked again: "Your Majesty, have you thought about how to store these charcoal?"

Uh, this, I really haven't considered it.

Taichang thought about it carefully, and then said decisively: "Well, the charcoal burned every day is transported to the capital of the Western Yin. A merchant ship can transport millions of catties of charcoal, tens of millions of catties, that's only a few Ten merchant ships are enough.

Anyway, there is a gunpowder factory in the capital city of Xiyin, which uses a lot of carbon, so just let them grind it into toner and store it.

If it can't fit there, it will be shipped to North America.

Isn't it the winter in North America, and it's still very cold, so it's definitely best to use charcoal when grilling or grilling meat.

Each of the dependent countries should be able to consume some, if not, let them transship to the southeast of Sula.

Isn't there a large desert there, and it is basically unlikely to rain. Find a place next to the desert where the wind and sand cannot blow, and then ask the people of Sula to build some simple sheds for storage.

At that time, let the Daming Western Company contact the buyer and sell it slowly. "

Well, the emperor has many ways.

Peng Bin thought about it carefully, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, if tens of millions of catties of charcoal are to be produced a day, at least tens of thousands of charcoal-burning kilns that are about ten feet high and can be reused must be built.

And this kiln must be able to ensure continuous use, and steel bars must be added inside.

In this way, it may cost some steel bars. "

Isn’t it necessary to have steel bars? If you spend a little, you need to spend a little. You know, this is charcoal worth tens of millions of taels!
Taichang nodded without hesitation and said: "Then add steel bars, it's okay to spend some steel bars, anyway, the capital of Xiyin can produce steel bars, if there is not enough to build a house here, just send a boat to the capital of Xiyin to pull them. "
