    In the next few days, we will mainly organize and rest.

    The busiest thing is the original more than 30,000 people in Three Kingdoms City Oh, no, it should be said to be 40,000 now, because in the half year we left, Yamazaki Xianyun and others went to the mountains in the west of the central part to move.  More than 10,000 people came back.

    Among the 40,000 people, 20,000 went to Shaijiri Island and Tenke Island to build ships, and there were also 10,000 people at the rock salt mines. We took out another 12,000 people, so there were only close to 40,000 people left here.  Thousands of people.

    Fifty thousand people are busy building houses, busy cooking, and buying various quilts, furniture, clothes and other appliances for the new families to make them feel more at home.

    The new people are not evil people. After a day or two of rest, they started to help build houses, make furniture, cook meals, etc., which greatly alleviated the problem of manpower shortage.

    As for our group of high-level people, we are naturally engaged in higher-level busyness.

    We wrote down all the gains and losses of our trip in a booklet and gave it to Lauren's father, two mothers, a Spanish macho uncle, and a group of elders. Then they also told what happened at home in the recent period, as well as the accumulated belongings.  It was also written into a booklet and showed it to us.

    The development of Three Kingdoms City, relatively speaking, has entered a period of rapid development.

    The biggest achievement is the increase in population, not only the increase in the migrant population, but also the women of our Three Kingdoms City. In more than half a year, more than 500 babies have been born. This is great news.

    As the stable days continue in the future.  I believe that more waves of births will come, and it will not be that difficult for the population to double or triple in twenty years.

    Then in winter, the village not only dug ten more large ice cellars that could hold 10 million kilograms of frozen food, but also filled them with ice and snow. Now that spring is coming, dozens of small boats are already being used to capture the food.  Fish began to fill the ice cellar.

    Winter is the most boring season. Rich people can light a heater at home and eat hot food.  Watching the dancing girls singing and dancing is a great way to spend the winter.

    But for the poor, there is no such good thing, so every day, people will work as usual, but the time is reduced to four hours. In addition to daily work, they also work on the southern coast of Liuyin River for half a year.  time.  Tens of thousands of acres of fields have been opened up again, and we are going to start sowing some vegetables this month.  By the way, this land will also be fattened.

    In fact, for now, the land in Three Kingdoms City is definitely sufficient. For them to prepare in advance to develop the land and be so far-sighted, I can only sigh that Father Lauren is indeed extraordinary.

    Since fishing has almost stopped in winter, fish resources have not increased much, which is okay. Anyway, from now on, there will be a fishing season of about half a year.  With more manpower, it may not be a problem to fill up another twenty or thirty super large ice cellars by then.

    In addition to fish, my family has achieved great results in the breeding of five kinds of animals.

    First of all, there is the herd of horses. Although horses almost only give birth to one child a year, they can¡¯t stop us from buying and selling a lot.  More than half a year later, more than 800 horses were added, bringing our total number of horses to more than 8,000, almost reaching the level of the previous Takesaki family's cavalry regiment.

    ?Then comes the raising of domestic pigs.

    With the continuous adaptation to the environment and climate.  Coupled with the fact that we continue to capture wild boars and domestic pigs from outside for mating and breeding, the number of domestic pigs has directly exceeded 2,000, and this is just the beginning. As a large number of sows mature, there will be two births a year, with each birth being five.  Once ten piglets are produced, it will not be a problem to double or triple the number in a year.

    Then there are the cattle and sheep introduced from the Zongduan Mountains. The purchase of tens of thousands of cattle and almost 100,000 sheep has made the nearby mountain areas covered with traces of cattle and sheep. However, due to the problem of adaptation period  , in almost a year, their population has only increased by about one-third, and even hundreds of sheep froze to death due to the cold winter.

    In the end, the three types of poultry, chickens, ducks and geese, are naturally the most fulfilling.

    When I left in September, I remembered that there were 900,000 chickens, ducks and geese. But when I came back, the number became 1.6 million. This is still 300,000 eggs, slaughtered and frozen every day.  The result of the death of ten thousand roosters, ducks, and geese.

    Originally, chickens, ducks and geese were doing well in the "Hare Forest", but they couldn't help but their numbers continued to increase, so they came up with diversion measures to divert many chickens, ducks and geese to the hills next to the residential area. However, because there  Without bamboo groves to protect them from the wind and cold, thousands of them would freeze to death every day in one winter.

      The increased supply of poultry eggs has directly improved the health of the elderly, children, and even middle-aged men and women in the village. Throughout the winter, no one has died from frostbite due to lack of enough food.

    Even if everyone eats two poultry eggs every day, there is still a lot of surplus. Apart from the ones used to hatch small poultry, the rest can be made into salt eggs or preserved eggs Anyway, they can be made and preserved in different ways. Now  More than five million pills have been stored. In fact, the 250,000 people who bought them in the past few days are frightened: What a waste. If you eat eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs every day, will you suffer any consequences?  God's punishment?  !

    In addition to poultry and animals, our other major source of income, the mining of refined salt, is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

    Transportation in winter is more of a problem, so the daily output there is limited to 50,000 kilograms, and dozens of huge warehouses have been built on the spot to store the mined refined salt in good conditions, and in  At the beginning of spring, when the roads became passable, a steady stream of people began to be transported back.

    Now, our storage capacity in Liuyin Harbor has reached 5 million kilograms of first-class refined salt, which will be sold when we set off next time.

    Another most important harvest comes from the shipbuilding craftsmen on Tenke Island and Shaijiri Island.

    Under the coordination of Uncle Yibei Lie, they went through a lot of manufacturing and accumulation, and they did not stop during the winter. They even stationed a large number of people at Liuyin Harbor before winter, that is, after we set off.  With the passing of labor and materials, the population there increased to 20,000.

    With 20,000 people to coordinate the work, and enough materials such as wood, iron, tung oil, etc., Uncle Yibelie and the shipbuilding craftsmen built thirty large ships in one go in seven months.  , twenty medium-sized ships, and fifty small ships came out, which is equivalent to more than double the large ships we have now!

    When we went out to sea and saw this brand-new large ship, which was built according to the second-class warships of the Jiangnan Shipyard of the Song Dynasty, as well as sturdy and durable small and medium-sized ships, we were finally relieved for the most part.

    Not to mention whether we have so many naval officers to drive the ships, just talking about the number of large and medium-sized ships, we are on par with the Namada Army and Tsugaru Army. Even if the Fujiwara and other family members leave, we don¡¯t need them.  What are you afraid of?
