Chapter 1133 Labor Transfer
Quietly, the season has entered winter...
In the palace, looking at the hot and bubbling hotpot in front of her, Yalvette looked slightly agitated. Appearing in a trance.
She has known about hot pot for a long time, and even after coming to Dazhou, she didn’t know how many times she had eaten it.
But after winter, as the weather gets colder and colder, the allure of hot pot continues to grow, and even doubles!
At the same time, before today, Yalvette had never thought that winter could be so comfortable.
After all, the winter in Mistila City is extremely cold. At the coldest time, it can even reach minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius.
On that land, in ordinary human countries, many people freeze to death every winter. Thanks to their female warrior clan having demigod blood and stronger physical fitness than ordinary humans, they can survive in that kind of Survive in harsh climate environments.
This was originally something that the female warrior clan was proud of.
But now, looking at the hot pot in front of her, feeling the warmth in the room, and recalling the days they spent in winter, Yalvette's entire mood at this time is more than complicated?
After finishing dinner comfortably, the female warriors under her command quickly packed up the tableware and placed it at the entrance of the courtyard. An attendant would come to collect it later.
After getting pregnant, on the one hand, it was to raise the baby with peace of mind, and on the other hand, Zhou Xu wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble for herself after the news spread.
So during this period of time, Yalvette has been staying in her courtyard honestly, basically not showing up.
Externally, it was said that they could not adapt to the climate here in Dazhou. After winter, they fell ill and could not blow the wind. All kinds of daily tasks were left to the female warriors who came with them.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Zhou Xu.
If Yalvette takes care of her baby honestly, then he can devote all his energy to the work in front of him.
On a new day, in the factory outside Black Moon City, accompanied by the clicking sound of the mechanical structure operating at high speed, the steam constantly spurting out was mixed with the smoke, causing the temperature in the factory to continue to rise. At the same time, it also makes the entire environment extremely choking.
Even in this severe winter, when they had opened all the ventilation windows and doors in advance, they still could not change the situation.
However, in this terrible environment, the expression on Zhou Xu's face was still filled with excitement.
Needless to say, the machine running in front of me is the first steam engine in their history!
At this moment, just as excited as him were the entire project team headed by Qin Fen and the technical workers in the factory.
Before giving the demonstration to His Majesty, in order to ensure that the steam engine had sufficient stability and working capacity, they specially used this steam engine for a long time and with high intensity.
After making sure that nothing went wrong, the scene before us happened.
But even so, watching the steam engine once again operate stably in front of their eyes, the research and development personnel could not help but cheer excitedly.
The one who was in the most excited state of mind during this period was Qin Fen, not only because of his own enthusiasm for steam engines, but also because with this steam engine, until this moment, he was finally in the big city Zhou proved himself!
The rest of the matter was left to the staff in the factory. Zhou Xu called Qin Fen and walked outside.
After experiencing the double baptism of steam and smoke inside, it felt particularly refreshing to take a few breaths of cold air.
After taking a few deep breaths, Zhou Xu quickly got to the point. "How is the progress at the Railway Bureau?"
Since it was confirmed earlier that their first steam equipment in Dazhou was a steam train, Qin Fen became a train and a railroad track , steam engine and other three major projects.
"The successful research and development of the steam engine has solved the biggest problem. As for the steam train, the railway bureau has already completed all the parts that can be done first, and the rest has been prepared and can start work at any time. If nothing else happens, it will be completed before summer next year."
At this point, Qin Fen paused.
“What is more time-consuming now is the laying of railways. After all, if you want to lay railways, you have to repair the road surface. This is a big project. There is not enough labor, and the time required for this project will be extended indefinitely. "
Zhou Xu also knows a lot about the railway laying.
"Okay, I understand the situation here. I'll think of a solution when I go back."
Needless to say, there are currently large-scale construction projects in the southern region of Dazhou and the volcanic island as an overseas region. Due to external reasons, large-scale construction has also begun in the Northeast region since last year.
There is too much land waiting for them to develop and build at this stage, although in recent years, with the continuous birth of new people, the internal population has been growing.
But those children are of no use! Not to mention babies who are still in their infancy.
This has led to the fact that although their total population has officially risen to 250,000 this winter, their labor force is still insufficient.
Here, by the way, it is worth mentioning that the New Taipei District and New South District have seen the largest increase in the number of newborns in recent years.
After all, since the war ended a few years ago, life in these two areas has become more comfortable. When the people have enough to eat and drink, they naturally start to get busy giving birth to children.
"Wait a minute, I remember that side of the rainforest area..."
As his thoughts flew, Zhou Xu quickly ordered someone to bring over the lizard people's population register.
As he quickly flipped through the pages, the joy on Zhou Xu's face quickly reached a level that was visible to the naked eye.
Since the end of the long war with the rat people on the southern border, the situation in the rainforest area has been similar to that of the New South District and the New North District.
During non-war periods, the reproductive efficiency of lizard people has always been higher than that of humans.
Although the incubation cycle is ten months, which is basically the same as that of humans, lizard people can give birth to several babies at a time, and they are considered adults at the age of six!
Counting from the time when he conquered the lizardmen, the lizardmen hatched in the early years had already grown up and joined the army, and many of them had even died in the war with the ratmen.
Excluding the impact of climate problems on the lizard people, due to the fact that the lizard people themselves have limited technical capabilities, their racial combat power is outstanding and has always been a high-quality combat power. Adult lizard people are They are mainly used as soldiers and will basically not be used as labor force.
But now in the southern border, the threat has been lifted, and the population of lizard people has begun to grow rapidly again. This made Zhou Xu quickly make a decision.
"Send my order and notify the Labor Bureau in the Southern Territory to use lizardmen to supplement the labor force in the Southern Territory and bring back the human labor force!"
