In the jungle, time flies, half a month later.

Fang Shiyu finally returned to Ziyincheng Mansion, with Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Quan, Zhu Zhi, Feng Cheng, and Chen Kui, the core management of this new continent.

Further down, those smaller officials, in the Ming Dynasty, were just scholars, and even Zhu Gaochi had no chance to see them, let alone Fang Shiyu.

At this time, Ziyin Cangfu had gradually been slowly stripped from the military control system, but before Fang Shiyu returned, the military power was in control, so these officials were still just Fang Shiyu's microphone at best.

Even if Fang Shiyu returns, they still cannot turn around. Feng Cheng will take over Fang Shiyu's position and continue to stay here, commanding the Ming army left behind and the auxiliary defense force composed of Indian natives.

At that time, the leader will also fall on Zhu Gaochi's shoulders.

"If the mined coal is directly used as fuel, it will not only be very efficient, but also extremely wasteful. In my opinion, it is to first open a warehouse dedicated to storing coal and mine the coal first."

"Or cut out another piece of open space at the foot of the gold mine and dig a large pit to store coal. When the rainy season comes, you can just clean the coals, and some of the impurities on it will be washed away."

"At this time, the furnace should have been built, and then you can start to melt the gold head."

Fang Shiyu frowned and said slowly. He looked at the mined coal samples, which were still somewhat different from the coals seen in later generations. They were directly used as fuel and could not be fully burned at all.

First, if the coal mined directly cannot be fully burned, it will lead to insufficient heat and greatly shorten the time.

Fang Shiyu tried many times. After washing the coal, it not only burned more fully, but also significantly improved the duration and heat released.

When Chen Kui heard this, he immediately asked respectfully: "Your Highness, King Tianlei, we can wash the coal directly with river water. There is no need to wait for the rainy season to come!"

"Yes, sir!"

"That's right, sir, it's so troublesome to build a warehouse or cut a piece of open space and dig a big hole! Besides, no one knows when this rainy season will come!"

Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi couldn't help but agree.

Zhu Gaochi also frowned: "Master, I also think it will be much easier to wash it with river water."

"You have not integrated into Dongsheng Shenzhou yet, and you are planning to make a fortune and you can't leave? Although half of the people will follow me back, half of the people will stay here! Moreover, Dongsheng Shenzhou will always be our Ming Dynasty territory in the future!"

"From the day when Ziyin City Mansion started to build a new city, and from the beginning of the little fat man's proposal to establish county and county prefectures, Dongsheng Shenzhou is no longer the new continent before, but an inseparable part of our Ming Dynasty."

"The Ming Dynasty will always rule Dongsheng Shenzhou, and the area under its jurisdiction will only become larger and larger, not limited to Ziyinchengfu. Our descendants of Yan and Huang started from the Mesopotamian Basin, but were destined not to end from the Mesopotamian Basin."

"It took us nearly a year, and HNA has reached this point. Don't you understand the importance of freshwater resources? Using river water to directly wash coal will indeed be much more convenient and quick, but the pollution caused to freshwater resources will be permanent."

"Cutting mountains, logging, mining and exploding mountains, and wanton hunting will cause great damage to the environment and will not appear in a short period of time. However, freshwater resources must be well protected. We cannot even drink clean water after we die, right?"

"Whether the warehouse or digging holes are for easier handling in the future and will not cause pollution to the environment. Although you don't understand, remember that we are a little more trouble now, and our descendants can be a little easier!"

Fang Shiyu waved his hand, staunched the opposition.

Dig a hole and wait for the rain to wash the coal. After using it, you will just backfilling it, which will be almost pollution to the environment.

When cutting mountains and logging, you can only plant it again, but freshwater resources cannot be regenerated by human resources. At least in this era, human resources cannot regenerate freshwater resources.

Therefore, Fang Shiyu did not hesitate at all about opening mountains and logging, but he strongly opposed the destruction of water resources.

"Master, this is not a small project. If you just wait for the rainy season to come, will you be too restricted... Oh my God!"

Zhu Gaochi was still a little unacceptable, and the words that he was controlled by others had changed to being controlled by heaven.

Zhu Quan also said: "Sir, according to your opinion, if the rainy season does not come for a day, won't we be able to start work in one day?"

Fang Shiyu was dry and couldn't help but drink a sip of water. Then he looked up and asked: "You can also think of other ways to clean the coal without causing pollution to fresh water resources."

Fang Shiyu was also helpless, so he naturally knew that it would be better to rely on himself than to rely on the sky and the earth. But the premise is that you must have this ability. The conditions are extremely limited now, and there is no other way until God rains!

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and suddenly said, "Master, if you remember correctly, there is a stream on the other side of Coal Mountain. Can we dig a channel to lure the water over? Dig a hole where you need it, and wait until there is enough water in the hole, and then backfilling the channel. Is this OK?"

"Is there enough time?" Fang Shiyu looked at the map of Coal Mountain. It was much simpler than mines. It had a flat area. If some bushes were cut down, a road was built, and a river was artificially built, it would not be too difficult.

Zhu Gaochi immediately returned: "Master, I will lead 30,000 people, 25,000 migrant workers are responsible for excavation of the river, and the remaining people are responsible for cutting books and building roads. If this is the case, the river does not need to be too deep. As long as the water can drain the flow, it is enough. If everything goes well, it will be guaranteed to be completed within two months."

When Feng Cheng heard this, he frowned and said, "Criminal Master, there is a very serious problem that you have ignored. After we came here, in order to reclaim wasteland and farm and log mountains, all the iron ore we brought from the Ming Dynasty was used to make axes."

"The Ziyin Cang Mansion is almost ten to twenty households per family. In this way, it is impossible to guarantee that one hoe and one shovel will be one. Even if we confiscate it and use it to build a river, it will be a drop in the bucket!"

Feng Cheng's words fell silently.

I have been to Dongsheng Shenzhou for more than a year, and there are only two mines I have discovered, one gold mine and one coal mine. The rest are basically all things that are not a single word.

The reclaiming of wasteland was quite smooth, thanks to Fang Shiyu's foresight, who prepared tens of thousands of farm tools early on, but after all, time was limited and the departure was relatively hasty. These farm tools were not enough after arriving here.

Nowadays, there are hundreds of thousands of Indian natives in Ziyin City. It is just a matter of time before they break through the million mark!

With so many people, there are only tens of thousands of agricultural tools in total. You can imagine the shortage. It is really a bit whimsical to even build roads and dig rivers.

Fang Shiyu sighed, thinking that what he prepared was enough, but after arriving in Dongsheng Shenzhou, he still found that there were many difficulties and difficulties.

They had extremely generous policies to the Indian natives and treated them equally. Therefore, the military's strength grew rapidly, and the Indian natives who fled to the nearby area increased day by day.

Just three counties and one Ziyin City have already accommodated nearly one million people.

"Tell me the order to expand the scale of the Defense Forces system, so that they can continue to increase the detection of nearby mountains, and be sure to find iron mines as soon as possible! As for the construction of rivers, if there is no handy tool, then make it! Use stones! Use wood! Use hands! I don't care what you think of, the rivers must be built within two months! There are six coal washing pits and wastewater pits each!"

"Set off!"

Fang Shiyu had no choice. There were many people here, and everything was in short supply. Fortunately, the distance between Coal Mountain and the stream was not too far away and the efficiency was not enough, so the number of people would be increased.

However, the command is light and difficult to execute.

However, there is no way to do this. Since the order has been issued, Zhu Gaochi will lead the migrant workers to work, and Feng Cheng will lead the army to guard the custody.

As for the gold mine, Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi were responsible for supervising it.

Everything was in order and proceeded step by step. Fang Shiyu and Zhu Ziyi suddenly became the two most leisurely people in the entire Ziyin Clerk again.

Sweet time is always short, time passes like a flash of time, and it is April of the 23rd year of Hongwu in the blink of an eye.

Fang Shiyu took Zhu Ziyi to the Coal Mountain Mine.

Looking around, there are endless simple houses, piled up like mountains of wood, among which the best wood has been transported to Ziyin Port, which is the third largest project in the entire Ziyin City, now the port where the Ming Navy stationed.

Countless materials that were not available in the Ming Dynasty were now sent to the warehouse of Ziyin Port one after another. They will be brought back to the Ming Dynasty together with Fang Shiyu's return.

These include seeds from various crops. As for seeds such as tomatoes, they are still being cultivated. It is still unknown whether they can be taken back together.

When Fang Shiyu appeared, Zhu Quan was the first to run over, his whole body was black and his big white teeth were exposed, and he smiled and said, "Sir, why are you willing to come here? Let me tell you good news! I dug it up! The river has been almost built and it has begun to drain the flow. If everything goes well, we can start washing coal tonight."

"When the coal is washed, we can transport the cleaned coal to the gold mine early tomorrow morning, and then we can start alchemy."

Zhu Quan smiled happily.

Fang Shiyu seemed to be infected, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiao Shiqi, do you know what you look like now? Hurry up, don't touch me, while the water is still clean, you can wash yourself first!"

Zhu Quan pretended to rush over and found that Fang Shiyu had not moved at all. He had to give up now. If he really did, Zhu Quan naturally had no courage. He has experienced Fang Shiyu's skills this year.

"Sir, what are you calling this? This is called standing without a back pain when you speak, this is called "Britain's wine and meat" and there are frozen bones on the road! You don't have to work, I still have to work! I will also have to go to the gold mine to see how many have been dug out!"

Fang Shiyu turned over silver, what are you?

My father and I have commanded my work, let alone you?

Your father was in my yard, and he had to stick his butt out his bills. What's so great about asking you to do a job?

Zhu Quan had no complaints at all. On the contrary, he was so happy that he had never had such joy when he grew up. These Indians were so familiar with Changshu and nobleness. It can be seen that those scholars were not useless. At least they knew what to teach first!

Killing is not scary, it is scary only if you kill your heart!

Not only did Zhu Quan do a lot of fun, but those Indian natives were also moved by Zhu Quan.

The prince has experienced it personally, so we should not add any more ideas and work hard?

Without saying a word, Fang Shiyu kicked Zhu Quan into the puddle.

"Wait! Why do you feel superior when you do a job? It's only been about a year since we returned. Next year, we're about to return."

"In the remaining year, the gold bars will be filled with at least five warships. The military training of Ziyin Cang Mansion has been stopped long ago, and everyone's food and salary must be managed!"

Fang Shiyu finished speaking, and Zhu Gaochi suddenly said: "Master, don't worry. For food, I have recently asked hundreds of warships to go out to sea to catch fish. The seafood here is all fat and delicious. As long as the seawater does not dry up, the food is not a problem, at least it is not a problem in a short period of time."

"How many migrant workers are now?" Fang Shiyu raised his head and looked at the shanty town where migrant workers were temporarily resting, without a glance!

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and immediately returned: "Master, we have built rivers here, built roads and logged roads and more than 50,000 migrant workers, and more than 70,000 people on the gold mine. The rest have been processed and built purple silver cities, as well as crop cultivation and harvesting."

Now Zhu Gaochi has gradually taken over Fang Shiyu's command power, and the entire Ziyin Citizen has gradually become Zhu Gaochi's world. With Fang Shiyu's tacit approval, Zhu Gaochi has begun to use his own ideas to plan and develop Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Although Zhu Gaochi is indeed a rare leader, if Fang Shiyu did not delegate power early and waited for him to return and Zhu Gaochi was not able to mature yet, everything would be full of variables.

Zhu Gaochi now has been busy for more than a year and is no longer as fat as before. He looks much more energetic.

He had some heroic posture of Zhu Laosi on his body.

Fang Shiyu nodded with relief: "It's not bad, I'm leaving it here to me. I'm very relieved. We must maintain order. As long as there is something wrong, we don't need to report the Dharma and just rectify the Dharma on the spot."

In one year, the army was about to return. Fang Shiyu would not allow any changes to happen in this last period of time, otherwise all previous efforts would be in vain.

Zhu Gaochi frowned, suddenly walked forward, pulled Fang Shiyu's arm, and walked towards the corner.

It was not until I could see anyone that I stopped.

"The ancestor, the spy came to report that he had discovered three more mines, one of which was a silver mine, one was an iron mine, and the other was a coal mine."

Fang Shiyu was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "If you find out, then go dig! After digging the melting furnace, just melt it directly. If you can't take it all away this time, then you will still focus on gold mines. When I return to the Ming Dynasty, you can dig slowly and melt it slowly by yourself."

There is no need to worry about the staff here. There are only more and less, but the efficiency is not too high. Due to the technical level and the shortage of tools, but fortunately, there is still enough time.

In a year, the gold that can be melted should not be a small amount.
