Chapter 1576 Overcoming Difficulties
If you want to get rich, you must first plant trees, but reality is not a game.
In the game, even with bare hands, you can chop down a big tree by just aiming at the tree and hitting it a few times. This is simply impossible in reality. Even with a sharp ax in his hand, it would take him a long time to cut.
In particular, the trees on these islands are probably hundreds of years old, and there are many people with thick waists. It is already the limit for two people to cut down two trees in one day.
what to do?
For the first time, Wang Bao was worried because he had land in his hands.
"I didn't expect it to be so bad. I'd better go home." Tang Xiucai was shaken. He couldn't stand still, and he couldn't help it.
After staying at the port for two days, someone proposed to go back to Treasure Island to recruit people. However, let alone whether the people could be recruited or not, the salary of recruiting people was not a small expense.
Although they all received an initial amount of capital for land reclamation, it was only for one year's food and drink expenses. If they were to recruit people, if there was no harvest one year, they would starve to death next year.
"Tang Xiucai, you are the most knowledgeable here. You don't want to go back to your hometown all the time. Can't you think of a way?" Having fought a life-and-death battle, Wang Bao didn't believe that he would be trapped on a deserted island. live.
"Actually, there is either no way, or it is against etiquette." Tang Xiucai said in embarrassment.
"What etiquette does he care about in this situation? Tang Xiucai, just say it."
"It's been two days since everyone arrived. What do you think of the local area?"
"It's hot, there are a lot of mosquitoes at night, and the food goes rancid after a long time after being prepared." There are really no pleasant memories.
"These are all, but haven't you noticed that there are many savages here besides us? When I got up last night, I noticed something moving outside the fence. The night watchman told me that these were savages."
"I've seen them too, and I wanted to talk to them, but they ran away as soon as they saw me approaching. I don't know how they live in the forest."
"What I mean is to capture these savages and use them as labor force." Tang Xiucai finally said his plan. It was indeed inconsistent with etiquette and even said it was a retrogression of civilization.
You must know that slaves have disappeared in the Central Plains for thousands of years.
But other people thought it was good when they heard it. It provided labor and didn’t cost money. These savages can't even speak Mandarin anyway, so it would be most appropriate to capture them and chop down trees.
"A scholar deserves to be a scholar."
But Tang Xiucai knew that if he suggested this, the savages on the island would be in trouble.
As soon as he said it, Wang Bao immediately organized people to catch the savages. As long as he had the labor force, everything else would be easy.
The savages on the island are still just tribes, and they only use spears, not even bows and arrows. Facing the Ming Dynasty immigrants with hot weapons, there was no resistance at all.
Except for the threat of poisonous insects and snakes when entering the woods, the encounter did not have any difficulty.
But the immigrants finally learned about the dangers of the forest. When they came out, their bodies were covered with red bumps and there was almost no intact skin. Some people even got sick and survived thanks to returning to the port in time.
But the first time I caught a dozen savages, the result was pretty good.
Nine male savages and six female savages.
Tang Xiucai suggested: "Don't rush to separate the savages now. Let's gather the savages first. We don't have to rush to open up our own land first. When we first arrive, we need to unite and gather everything. Then when the harvest is good, we can follow each other's land." grades will be distributed.”
It's like a commune.
Everyone agreed, and they all knew that we really couldn't disperse our forces now, and had to unite to open up wasteland as soon as possible.
So some people were responsible for going out to catch the savages, and some were responsible for guarding the savages to clear up wasteland.
The savages already have tribes and naturally know how to work. Although they cannot communicate, they can still understand gestures.
The immigrants from the Ming Dynasty told the savages that they would be fed if they worked, and if they did not work, caused trouble or escaped, they would be shot.
The savages had no choice but to work, but it was the first time for them to get such a sharp tool. They were all very curious and even hurt themselves.
There is nothing we can do about these savages, and they cannot communicate well, so there will always be errors in their gestures. But it can only come little by little.
Tang Xiucai was responsible for the daily record-keeping work, which was considered a clerical job, but he received a lot of work points.
Tang Xiucai also adopted an incentive policy for the savages. The more they did, the more food they would get.
The savages wore simple clothes and had regular meals. Apart from having to work, it seemed to be no worse than staying in the woods.
At first, the immigrants were worried that the savages would fight back if they got the axes. Unexpectedly, the savages were quite calm.
That's good, otherwise Wang Bao would have planned to catch two typical people to scare the monkeys.
More and more savages were being captured, and finally one day someone proposed that they could no longer be arrested. If they were to arrest more savages, there would be more people than immigrants. How would they manage them then?
Although Wang Bao has a gun and is not afraid of the savage rebellion, he will definitely suffer losses if something goes wrong, but how can they withstand even the slightest turmoil now?
"But the speed is still slow." Although there are fifty savages now opening up wasteland, they only cut down twenty trees a day on average, not counting the work of digging tree roots.
"I have an idea." The scholar had another idea: "We can promote two savages to take charge and use the savages to manage the savages."
"Is it possible?" Although Xiucai's method is pretty good, this method doesn't sound reliable.
"If you let the savages manage the savages, will they really be sincere? What if they form a group and make a sneak attack?" Wang Bao asked worriedly.
The scholar said: "Based on my observations during this period, I found that there are a few savages who work hard and like Ming objects very much, including our food, clothing, tools, and everything else. So I think these savages can definitely win over and promote them. After their positions, they can also increase their wages so that they can get more artifacts from the Ming Dynasty."
This analysis seems to make sense, but it is still very challenging to explain these issues clearly to savages who do not understand the language.
But Kung Fu is not afraid of those who are willing, so let’s promote two first.
The result is indeed very effective. These savages do not know what freedom is. They prefer Ming Dynasty things and clothes to freedom, and are envious of everything the immigrants have. Knowing that all of this is available to them if they work, they work even harder.
Anyway, even if we work every day, immigrants are not just going to do it every day. We will not let the savages just work without rest. We should combine work and rest.
Although the food given to them was actually food that immigrants did not like to eat, such as wowotou, and the immigrants ate rice and white steamed buns.
Of course, when they came to the desert island, the immigrants also learned from the savages and ate a lot of local fruits. Of course, they also hunted. In addition to the pigs, sheep and cattle brought from the mainland, hunting was also a source of meat.
Both sides are learning from each other.
Overseas, immigrants still care about the mainland. Many of them want to make money and honor their ancestors, and they also want to bring their families over. And Tang Xiucai did not forget to study. Although the weather here is very hot and it is not suitable for studying, he still keeps reading when it is cool in the morning and evening.
The only sustenance is the ship that comes once every half month, which will bring materials and new immigrants, as well as the new trends of the Ming Dynasty, and of course, letters from home can also be sent. A letter from home can make all immigrants cry, because when you read the letter, you know the situation at home. Although it is just a few innocuous sentences, it is the most touching.
The immigrants used their wisdom to overcome difficulties little by little and complete the mission of opening up the territory given by the Ming Emperor.
