Struggle in the Steam Age

After a simple inspection of the grain warehouse, Lawrence walked out of the warehouse area located in the mountainside and began to check the surrounding ancillary facilities. In addition to the stone hill of the warehouse itself, this granary also has a series of auxiliary facilities, such as docks, walls, and fortifications.

However, because the entire warehouse plan is a long-term plan, many construction projects are just beginning. For example, the imaginary Hehai Lianyun Port now has only two small core trestle bridges that are unloaded by animal-powered machinery. As the most important fortifications, only half of the core river defense turrets located in an independent cave on the mountain have been fully constructed and equipped with artillery. The other series of defense facilities are just some simple field defenses. .

However, the construction progress of these buildings is still completely under control. After all, according to Lawrence's long-term plan, this area will not only be a granary in the future, but will also become the most important satellite port in the port of New Sauer. Area, to prevent possible foreign enemies from rising along the river mouth comprehensive fortress group.

Obviously, such a magnificent project cannot be fixed in just a few months. At the same time, because the farming is now in a busy period, a large number of migrant workers who have been organized by various manors to work in the opportunity of farming have returned to the farm. So Lawrence also saw that many construction sites are now in an extremely slow construction state, and even have stopped.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway." Lawrence comforted after seeing the embarrassed look on the face of the escort. "Seriously, many of the projects in the plan are long-term plans. They are planned for the development of the island in the future. So it is enough to say that those facilities are now being built slowly according to the plan, unless the situation changes. Our direct order, otherwise it’s better not to change the construction progress here privately."

Lawrence said that this was not without a target. In his previous life, he had seen a lot of various political projects from top to bottom and various political projects to please the superiors, and the bureaucracy was not even a change in the world. Big. Therefore, he feels that he needs to hit the bottom at this time, so that they don't think about it in order to please themselves, and finally come out with a lot of pat on the head policy.

As Lawrence said before, this overall plan was prepared for the future development of the island. In his previous life, he had been fed up with the practice of demolishing, repairing, and tossing repeatedly because of the poor level of early urban planning, so he made a long-term plan in urban planning.

Therefore, Lawrence's planning for these facilities is also carried out in stages. If the construction is too fast, in addition to the additional consumption of precious resources now, the various facilities built are also easy to be idle because there are no supporting facilities after they are built. For example, the current two ports are sufficient for the transshipment of grain. If they are blindly expanded, it will have no meaning other than allowing more berths to be vacant.

After all, there is no civilized world in the upper reaches of the river except those tauren tribes, and the only human settlements are only under planning. At the same time, the Port of New Sauer has just begun to develop. Therefore, there are not many goods and personnel to exchange in this place, and naturally, there are not so many facilities related to shipping.

After completing their inspection of the granary, Lawrence and the others boarded a ship that transported supplies and food to the tauren tribe in the hilly area and went upstream along the river. A few hours later, they successfully reached the small river port belonging to the Tauren tribe and got off the boat.

Unlike the last time Lawrence came, the tauren rebuilt the port under the guidance of engineers sent by Lawrence. Only because the wharf built by the elves was a cultural relic, the engineers sent by Lawrence chose to rebuild a new wharf in another place.

The only difference is that unlike the port of New Sauer or even the pier where the river enters the sea, there are basically no auxiliary tools on this pier. This is because the frequency of use of this pier is not high and the physical strength of the tauren far exceeds that of human beings. However, Lawrence can see that the foundation has already begun to be built next to it to build a warehouse.

"How's the situation here?" Lawrence and the others shook hands with the Lanhua who came to greet each other. After shook hands with the iron hoof, Syfiel asked a little eagerly. "I see that the letter you sent me specifically stated that the tea pickers who were sent to you before have had problems of this kind. I want to know what happened to this group of personnel."

"They were a little uncomfortable at the beginning, because the forest is indeed a bit hotter than the seashore." Lanhua said as they walked towards the place where the tribe was. "Fortunately, you paid enough plus this. The batch of people are basically all volunteers, and our shaman prepared some herbal soups for them to cool and relieve the heat. So they persevered. Now they seem to have basically adapted to the climate here. "

"It's fine if you can adapt." Lawrence smiled and nodded when Lanhua said. Because the tea picking and frying work here is related to the important financial resources of the island in the future, the smooth operation of the tea picking work here can be said to be the top priority of the work on the island, so he can't help but care.

Of course, these people did not come here to pick tea. The peak season for tea picking on the island is March to September. Now the time has passed. In this off-season, in addition to top extraordinary people like Nora who can also pick a part of the tea through the sea of ​​extraordinary power, most people simply Can't get much tea.

They came here for only one purpose, and that is to adapt to the environment here as early as possible and learn to cooperate with the tauren so that nothing happens when they are officially picked in the future. At least judging from the series of problems they have raised before, this approach of paying more for advance drills seems to be very worthwhile ~ www.ltnovel.com~ At the beginning, Lawrence and the others planned to make the tauren comprehensive Responsible for the two processes of black tea picking and subsequent withering and rolling. But it turned out that after the tauren people tried it, it was very unfortunate to find that their stubby fingers were really not suitable for picking tea leaves, so this process can only be done from outside human labor.

Similar to the method of letting Nora pick and dispose of tea leaves, it is used for emergency now, let alone the problem of how many jobs are involved. Under normal circumstances, golden-class transcendents like puppets should not spend their energy on this kind of work. Therefore, it is very important to cultivate a group of people who are involved in tea picking and processing.

As a result, various problems have arisen after this move, even if Lawrence specifically selected some of the new immigrants who had previous experience in tropical island life. However, the difference in climate and environment between different islands still creates a series of problems. Fortunately, the shamans here have some traditional herbal medicines to treat these problems.

On the other hand, the tauren has repeatedly dropped the chain before this. Withering, the work of spreading the tea leaves for the sun is not a big problem, but the work of kneading, which requires some skill, is a bit more difficult for Tauren. They often knead the leaves so much that they cannot be used at all.

Fortunately, after repeated practice, most of the tauren women learned how to complete this process, and finally solved a troublesome problem. As for the tauren male, it seems that there is really no talent in this direction, fortunately. There are still many dangerous creatures and goblins wandering around this area, so they can just be responsible for the safety of the surrounding area.
