Chapter 740 Late Spring (Additional update for the Alliance Leader’s ‘Fantasy Helplessness’)
In the following days, Zhou Xu casually handled some internal affairs in the Old Continent.
However, it is obvious that he cannot stay here forever. It is almost time to leave for the New World again.
As for the lizard people, I don’t have enough time, so I won’t go there.
The main reason is that the current core project there is the southern development.
It is said to be a core project, but in fact it is just a matter of sending a few groups of immigrants as labor force to slowly carry out some construction there.
Taking into account regional issues and various development factors, it is estimated that by the time the New World is almost fully developed, the southern development there has not made much progress, so there is nothing interesting to see in this trip. Yes, the road is so far, there is no need to waste this time.
There was nothing Zhou Xu could do about this situation.
These waves of their great Zhou Dynasty were forced by the situation. Their population and territory expanded too fast, and they were unable to develop at once.
This food must be eaten one bite at a time, and development must be carried out piece by piece. As for the order of priority, it is definitely not possible to follow the order of occupation. It depends on which side has greater development value and higher benefits. Which side will develop first?
Once again, Zhou Xu's hot air balloon landed outside the garrison camp at the end of the mountains.
After that, they planned to leave the hot air balloon here directly. It would be troublesome to carry this hot air balloon all the time and travel through the energy channels. It was better to just stay here to save worry.
As for the hot-air balloon operators in the New World, they have new hot-air balloons for training.
As long as the first one is successfully made, it won’t take much effort to make the second and third ones. Zhuang Mengdie doesn’t even need to make it himself. It’s more than enough to leave it to her deputy. Zhuang Mengdie Die himself only needs to check it a little bit.
In response to this situation, when Zhou Xu returned to Black Moon City this time, he also specially transferred a group of people from the Ordnance and Equipment Department to the New World to assist Zhuang Mengdie in city defense crossbows and hot air balloons. Manufacturing of the project, lest there are too many projects and the few manpower in the New World cannot arrange them.
After passing through the energy channel, by the time Zhou Xu and the others returned here, the season was already approaching the end of spring.
Zhou Xu took the opportunity to inspect the situation in Huangsha City.
For now, Huangsha City is the city where he has made the most renovations. In addition to the city walls, basically all the internal buildings will be bulldozed.
Of course, he did not bulldoze them all at once, but divided the city into areas, and then bulldozed and rebuilt them piece by piece. After this side was completed, he moved on to the next piece.
Since the main labor force is recruited from the newly recruited population here, with enough manpower, the work efficiency is really quite high
At present, almost one-third of the area in Huangsha City has been initially renovated, and corresponding factories have been built. Coupled with the mines outside the city, it has provided a large number of jobs for internal immigrants in the New World.
It is no exaggeration to say that today's Huangsha City is the work area with the largest new population here.
The next busiest ones are Black Rock City and Green Forest City. The former relies on the mine and produces stone while mining, while the latter produces wood, which is needed for construction. basic materials.
In addition to being large in consumption, it is heavy in weight and large in size. If it is transported from the Old World, it will not only take time, but also the transportation cost will be high. Therefore, all these development materials are from the New World. collected and transported within.
It is precisely because of this that, under Zhou Xu's operation, the New World has formed such a supply and demand chain, so a large number of refugees in various cities have found jobs and obtained benefits. Got paid and got food.
From this point of view, for these refugees, Zhou Xu is equivalent to their reborn parent. During this period, Zhou Xu did not forget to ask about the new currency.
Since the establishment of Daxin Mint, in accordance with Zhou Xu's request, they have been working day and night to mint new versions of copper coins. Calculating the time, the first batch of copper coins should have been sent out. It’s time to go to Huangsha City.
“Replying to the king, the first batch of copper coins has been delivered. The wages were paid the day before yesterday, so I took advantage of the situation and distributed the new copper coins to the workers in the city, and by the way, they also replaced the old copper coins in their hands. , so far, everyone is very cooperative and there is no resistance.”
This result is relatively in line with Zhou Xu’s expectations.
For now, the currency replacement measures are only implemented in Huangsha City.
The newly minted currency is not enough to replace all the people. This is only one of the reasons. The more important reason is that the refugees who came to work in Huangsha City already have a limited amount of old civilization currency. not much.
Under this premise, when their Dazhou people pay wages, they must also pay their Dazhou currency. At the same time, the canteen they set up only accepts Dazhou currency.
Once currency cannot be used, it has no value at all. This is also invisible, paving the way for the subsequent replacement of old and new currencies.
During the inspection, Zhou Xu led the person in charge to an area filled with infrastructure materials.
These infrastructure materials were piled neatly, but not far away there was a pile of cars that were extremely messy, as if they were littering. They were dumped in that corner, which made them stand out.
At this moment, three workers were rummaging through the pile of broken cars. They didn’t know what they found, and they began to remove parts from the car.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu asked casually.
"What's the situation over there?"
"Report to your Majesty, the chariots piled there are all chariots from the original carriages here, and the sizes of their chariot parts are larger than ours. Zhou’s are different, so those parts cannot be used with our Zhou’s cars.”
Having said this, the person in charge said something respectfully.
“In response to this matter, my subordinates also wrote a report before. It was your Majesty who said that there is no need to produce parts of this size, so I asked people to leave the broken cars here that could not be repaired. Then people will remove the useful parts and use them as firewood."
When the person in charge said this, Zhou Xu remembered.
"I remembered, there was such a thing."
Thinking about it carefully, this should have happened in the early autumn of last year. It was essentially a small thing, Zhou Xu After approving the report, I quickly forgot about this matter and didn't think of it until now.
In fact, similar things happen in many places, not just in cars. Many things here have different sizes from theirs, resulting in parts that cannot be used on both sides.
Just like currency, these standards must be unified in the future, so these things on the other side can only be used as consumables. If they are worn out and cannot be repaired, they will be thrown away. There is absolutely no special purpose Something about adding a production line for them.
During this period, because Green Forest City and Black Rock City had to transport infrastructure materials to Huangsha City, there were a lot of scrap cars piled up in Huangsha City. He happened to see them today.
