Chapter 1100 Luo Chong's Plan
Gu Ji and Tian Hong followed Ye An to see the teaching building, and the group came to the playground on campus.
At this time, there were several classes of students taking physical education classes on the playground.
Some classes were practicing queues, some were playing football on the football field, and others were free activities.
There are still many sports activities in the Han tribe now, such as shuttlecock kicking, skipping rope, throwing sandbags, and playing football. These are the most common sports games in the Han tribe.
However, Gu Ji and Tian Hong have never seen them. This should be the first time they have seen so many children in the Han tribe.
After all, when they were in Qi'an County before, the place was under construction. Except for some adult workers sent by the Han tribe, there were no children living there. How could they see them?
The two watched the children playing on the playground and couldn't help but stop and watch. After watching for a while, Tian Hong suddenly pointed to the students who were practicing queues not far away and asked Ye An.
"What are those kids doing? They are standing in a neat line."
Ye An smiled when he heard this. "This is just a drill in the physical education class. It is mainly to cultivate the children's discipline and teamwork skills.
"At the same time, this is also a preparation for them to join the army when they grow up."
"Join the army? To become a warrior like you?" Gu Ji asked puzzled.
"Yes, to become a warrior like me, all the troops in the Han tribe are disciplined, and there is a set of military standards for walking, sitting and lying down.
"What they are practicing now is the most common drill for soldiers. Carrying out such training in advance when they are young will help cultivate their habits. In this way, when they grow up, if the tribe needs it, these children can be quickly mobilized directly.
"Of course, the tribe will not easily use such a big child. Even if they need to use it, they have to wait until they grow up."
Gu Ji and Tian Hong nodded, and then cast their eyes on the other side The children who were playing football, pointed at that side and asked.
"What are those children doing? They are grabbing that thing, why don't the adults care? "
Ye An couldn't help but laugh when he heard this question, "Because it was originally a game. The thing they kicked was called football, which was originally meant to be snatched. There were ten people on each side, and everyone competed for the football. The winner was determined by how many times the ball was kicked into the other side's defensive gate.
"This game called football is very common in our Han tribe. This kind of activity is often organized in various armies. This game can not only exercise the body, but also exercise command ability and tactics. It is also one of the rare skills on the battlefield."
Ye An introduced the situation of playing football, but Tian Hong saw some tricks from it.
"I always feel that they contact each other, cooperate with each other, and chase that thing called football. This activity is very similar to the hunting in our tribe."
Gu Ji was stunned when he heard this. Yes, isn't it? After listening to Tian Hong's words and looking at the playground, what else could this be if not hunting?
At first, the two of them thought about this problem.
They thought that the life of the Han tribe was too good. They could have endless food by planting crops, and they could have endless meat by raising livestock without hunting. They didn't dare to think about such a life before.
But if this kind of life lasts too long, will the people degenerate and forget the skills of hunting and gathering that their ancestors passed down?
Before, they envied the life of the Han tribe and had this worry, but now when they saw the children playing football, they suddenly understood that the Han tribe had transferred the hunting technology to other ways and did not completely abandon it. Although the people of the Han tribe lived a good life and no longer hunted and gathered, their skills of housekeeping were still being passed down.
After the two of them visited the school, Ye An took them away, and the group went to stroll around the city of Takuhai County. It was not until this time that Gu Ji and Tian Hong knew what it meant to have a lot of people.
Although they are both called counties, the population of Takuhai County is a world apart from that of Qi'an County.
After all, there are not many settled people in Qi'an County, while the people in Takuhai County have lived and operated on this land for many years. Compared with Qi'an County, the population structure here is obviously more complicated.
From the hunchbacked old man to the babbling, tottering children, there are also a large number of young and strong people who are either farmers or workers. Such scenes are simply not seen in Qi'an County.
When the three of them went to the market in the evening, there was a feeling of bustling and rubbing shoulders with people. There were really too many people. Gu Ji and Tian Hong had never seen so many people in their lives.
The two of them visited all the cities in Takuhai County in succession, visited several counties, learned about the people's livelihood here, and learned more about the policies of the Han tribe towards the people. For example, the taxation of the Han tribe, etc.
Gu Ji and Tian Hong would often discuss and calculate while eating. They calculated how much land the people would have under this taxation after joining their tribe and joining the Han tribe, how much they would produce each year, and how much output would be left after paying enough taxes and daily living expenses.
The two had never learned arithmetic, so they naturally couldn't figure it out, but fools have their own ways. They took advantage of their status and went directly to the people's homes to ask about their living conditions, how many acres of land they had, how many laborers they had, how many people they lived with, what livestock they raised, how their living standards were, and whether they could have any surplus in a year.
Moreover, the families they chose were all the most ordinary families, which could better reflect the living conditions of ordinary people at the bottom of the Han tribe.
But no matter how they inquired and asked, the results they got were almost the same. The Han tribe could really bring a good life to the people.
Especially in Takuhai County, the people here were also the population that the Han tribe pulled from the surrounding clans and tribes. They had only joined the Han tribe for a short time, and they could represent the situation of the Baiwu tribe.
After visiting Takuhai County, the two men wanted to go to other places, so they went to Luo Chong to ask for his opinion and got Luo Chong's permission.
After they arrived at the government office and had someone inform Luo Chong, Luo Chong came out and asked.
"Have you finished looking at Takuhai County? Do you want to go somewhere else?" Luo Chong looked at the two of them and asked.
"Yes, we have already seen the situation here in Takuhai County. I heard that there are many other territories near the Han tribe, so we want to go and see them again." At this point, the two paused again, and Tian Hong quickly spoke again honestly.
"In fact, we have almost made up our minds. Joining the Han tribe will definitely not be a loss, but we still want to know more about the Han tribe, so that we can also go back and convince other tribesmen.
"Another point is that I know that although the transportation in the Han tribe is very developed, there are still many inconveniences in travel. After all, the Han tribe is too large, so if there is no accident, after we go back this time, we will never have the opportunity to go to other places in the Han tribe, so I want to take this opportunity to walk more and see more."
Luo Chong nodded with satisfaction.
"You really should walk more and see more. It is good to know more about the situation in the Han tribe. After all, you are still young and have great potential in the future.
"If you are familiar with the conditions in various parts of the Han tribe and can learn to read and write Chinese characters after you go back, I can consider giving you two a position, so that you can manage your own people more conveniently and help me share some things.
"Since you have made plans and want to go out for a walk and see, then go and see. I support this very much. A person can be unproficient in some things, but he must have knowledge. It's good to go more and broaden your horizons.
"By the way, do you have a planned route for the visit?" Xia An asked again.
"Not yet, we want to ask the Han leader for his opinion." Gu Ji shook his head and said honestly.
"Then let's take a boat out to the sea. It's only a few days' voyage from here to Qiongzhou Island. On the way, you can appreciate the magnificence of the ocean and experience the lives of sailors and fishermen. After arriving at Qiongzhou Island, there are six counties there. You can see them all the way from east to west, and finally return to the mainland from the cross-sea bridge in the northwest of Qiongzhou.
"On the way, you can also see the bridge built by the Han tribe. When we return to the land, we will ride horses to the grassland and visit the three counties of Honghu to appreciate the vast grassland and the herds of livestock on the grassland. That is the main source of livestock for the Han tribe.
“After you have visited the three counties of Honghu, take a boat across Honghu to the east and arrive at the capital to see the world's largest city that the Han tribe is building. It will be the center of the Han tribe in
the future and the most important place for the Han tribe. “When you have finished your tour and seen the capital, I estimate that the railway from the capital to Takuhai County will be completed. By then you can take the train back here, and then I will let you visit the Tang tribe across the river. After visiting the Tang tribe, you will have almost seen the entire southern territory of the Han tribe. Tell me your plan then and you can go back.” Luo Chong thought for a moment and immediately arranged a travel route for them.
“Okay, we will follow the arrangements of the Han leader in everything. "Gu Ji and Tian Hong quickly agreed.
The travel route arranged by Luo Chong sounded very reliable. Basically, they could see almost everything they wanted to see, except for the north of the Han tribe, which was too far away. But it would be nice to travel around the south.
Luo Chong continued to arrange for Ye An to take charge of their itinerary and all expenses along the way, and then let them leave.
Gu Ji and Tian Hong prepared for another two days in Takuhai County, and finally packed up their things and embarked on this long journey.
As for Luo Chong, he returned to the new home prepared for him by Dashu and visited his little nest where he would live for about three years.
The yard of Luo Chong's new home is not very big. It can only be said that it is slightly larger than the house in Hanyang City, but not much larger. However, it still has all kinds of functions.
The yard where the servants live is also completely separated from the yard where the master lives. There are stables and livestock. The livestock pen has a special large kitchen. The main building where Luo Chong's family mainly lives is also a two-and-a-half-story structure, that is, a two-story plus a three-story balcony. The overall style looks like a modern antique two-and-a-half-story villa, but the floor area is much larger than that of a villa.
Xiaodie and Zhan Ying have been organizing servants to clean up the new home these two days, arranging rooms for the children, arranging a study for Luo Chong, and also relocating the messy things brought from their hometown in the new home. The two have been very busy for a few days.
Luo Chong naturally doesn't have to worry about such trivial matters. What he is worried about now is only the construction of the capital, the political situation in the entire south, and the industrial layout.
In the past two days, while listening to Dashu's various reports, Luo Chong drafted an industrialization list by himself. It mainly includes various factories that the Han tribe will build in the south in the future. Only by listing the goals first can we develop better and make them in advance. Prepare sufficient manpower and construction resources.
At present, because of the construction machinery, the train from Takumi County to the capital is also being built rapidly. It is estimated that it will not be long before this railway line can be connected, and it will be much more convenient to transport materials at that time.
Luo Chong thought about it for a few days and also preliminarily drafted a list of industrial projects in the south.
The heavy industrial factories planned to be built in the south include: steel mills, cement plants, coking plants, machinery plants, large shipyards, bicycle factories, and several rubber processing plants.
Among them, the rubber processing plant is the key. With the continuous advancement of industrialization, the Han tribe will need to use rubber in more and more places in the future. However, the Han tribe does not even have a professional rubber factory. The various rubber products currently used are actually privately produced by the rubber research and development team of the Lake Island Comprehensive Research Institute. It was not large-scale and felt a bit like a small workshop.
Now that Luo Chong has come to the south, to the origin of rubber, he naturally has to set up a rubber processing plant.
In addition, the light industry is mainly dominated by the food industry, including sugar mills, paper mills, spinning mills, textile mills, breweries, canning factories, vermicelli factories, sausage factories, soft drink factories, carton factories, and so on.
Among these light industrial factories, vermicelli factories should be considered a new industry. Luo Chong likes to eat vermicelli, but there has never been any raw material suitable for making vermicelli.
Although he made some with taro before, he didn't really like that kind of vermicelli. Now the Han tribe has potatoes. As long as it is promoted on a large scale in the future and the supply of potatoes is increased, won't potato vermicelli sell like hot cakes?
After all, potatoes are not easy to preserve, but vermicelli can be easily stored for several years. Needless to say, there are many benefits.
