Chapter 1059 Changes of the Baiwu Tribe
After writing down the new firearms to be developed in the future in a notebook, Luo Chong began to write a reply to Qubing again.
In the letter, he repeated his decision, which was to equip them with a batch of double-barreled shotguns and organize a bounty hunter system. In the future, any citizen who hunted a giant ape could go to the government to collect a reward of 30 yuan with the head of the giant ape.
The reward of 30 yuan is not small, it is as much as a worker's monthly salary, but even at this price, the Han tribe can definitely buy the giant ape to extinction.
Another thing is to let Qubing take the Shen Ce Guard back to Heyuan County first, and then organize the militia with Youye to conduct shotgun training. During the training, they can first practice with the eight-shot equipped by the Shen Ce Guard. After the double-barreled shotguns on their side are delivered, let Qubing lead the troops back.
In addition, Luo Chong specifically told them that the two thousand double-barreled spray guns should not be distributed all at once. According to the ten-five system, one gun should be distributed to every five households, and they should be used in turns. It is best not to distribute more than 1,500 guns, and the remaining 500 guns should be kept by the government.
One is to replace broken guns, and the other is to keep some in hand to prevent the people from rioting with guns. If the people are carrying guns and the government has no guns, the consequences can be imagined.
In addition, bullets must be strictly controlled. What each bullet hits must be recorded, so that the people with guns will not shoot casually. Even if some prey or beasts are killed in the forest, there must be physical evidence, that is, the corpse of the prey proves the consumption of bullets, and the prey must verify the gunshot wound, that is, whether it is really killed by a hunting rifle, to prevent someone from hiding ammunition.
With this set of strict control, even if the people riot with guns, the government can quickly solve it and prevent the overall situation from collapsing.
After thinking about it and finding no loopholes, Luo Chong asked the guards to return the letter, and then he drew some mechanical drawings at home every day, and wrote down everything he could remember as soon as possible.
On the other side, a large fleet heading south from Weishan County finally arrived at the Chengkang County Wharf in the middle and lower reaches of the Liuyang River after nearly a month of sailing.
In the floating berth of the wharf, a three-masted sailing ship that had been modified to transport trains had slowly entered it. The port staff on the shore immediately rotated the gate to close the sluice gate of the floating berth, and then asked people to start the steam water pump to start filling it with water.
Other port staff also took the rope thrown from the ship and tied the ship firmly to several wooden stakes. Then someone brought a square wooden fixing pin to completely jam the two sides of the ship and the pool wall of the berth, so that the rails on the ship were aligned with the tracks on the shore. After everything was ready, the four Endeavour steam locomotives loaded on the ship also slowly drove from the deck to the shore and drove along the track into the Chengkang County Railway Station that had been built long ago.
After the locomotive landed, the fleet behind also lined up to dock and unload. The gantry crane on the shore was busy lifting individual wheel frames and carriage beams onto the shore, and the accompanying craftsmen immediately began to assemble the carriage floor. It
must be said here that the locomotive must be transported as a whole because of its complex structure. The train carriage is large in size but simple in structure and relatively light in weight, so it is naturally impossible to transport it as a whole. Otherwise, it is unknown how many ships will be occupied to transport a train.
Therefore, when the Han tribe transported carriages, they only transported wheel frames and carriage beams. Each carriage had a total of eight wheels, four in the front and four in the back, four wheels in a group, installed on a wheel frame with steering and buffer springs, and two main steel beams in the middle, and it was formed after being fixed.
The remaining carriage floors, carriage walls, and carriage ceilings are all made of wood. They are produced by the local wood processing factory in Chengkang County according to the drawings, eliminating the trouble of transporting materials back and forth. In addition to wood, some other metal components are all shipped from Xingang County, after all, they cannot be produced here.
When all the parts of the four trains were transported to the shore, other ships loaded with heavy machinery also began to dock and unload. In addition to the four trains, four tractors, as well as the corresponding trucks and supporting agricultural machinery, two bulldozers and two excavators were also transported here, all for the construction of Chengkang County and Qi'an County. These vehicles are also divided equally between the two counties. After the basic construction is completed, they will be sent to the two mines for mining.
In addition to these, there are also iron ingots sent together, which are daily supplies for the two places to make tools and farm tools by themselves. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning, and a lot of tools will definitely be used to build two new cities.
After a whole day of busy loading and unloading, the materials transported by the fleet were finally moved ashore. The next morning, a train with simple paving set off from Chengkang County to Qi'an County with all the materials. There were also two tractors with buckets, a loader and an excavator. The four vehicles drove side by side with the train along the railway line. For a while, they were not slow at all and kept up with the speed of the train steadily.
The convoy set off at dawn, and at around nine o'clock in the morning, it was already far away from the train station of Qi'an County.
In Qi'an County at that time, the people of the Baiwu tribe were still working for the Han tribe under the leadership of Youfu. The men collected soil, cut wood, burned bricks, built houses and cities, and the women washed, cooked, picked up manure and planted vegetables. Even the children of the Baiwu tribe drove the sheep with branches and helped the Han tribe feed pigs, ducks and chickens. It can be said that no one was idle.
However, they did not dislike such working days, on the contrary, they were very happy. Not only did men and women get paid, but even the children who fed the pigs and sheep had three meals a day, either white rice or corn tortillas, and the dishes every day were both meat and vegetables. They also wore clothes exchanged from the Han tribe with their wages. In the past, they could not even imagine such a life of not lacking food and clothes, and not worrying about food. Unexpectedly, they also got it by working for the Han tribe.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Baiwu tribe learned a lot of advanced technologies in the process of working, such as firing bricks and tiles with clay, rammed earth plate-building technology, how to make beams with wood, how to make doors and windows with carpentry, and the technology of digging wells for water. They all did it in their hands and remembered it in their hearts, and tried hard to absorb various advanced knowledge from the Han tribe.
Even the women and children were trying hard to learn the skills of vegetable planting, steaming rice and cooking, and raising livestock and poultry.
They thought they had learned everything they wanted, but they didn't know that they had become no different from the Han people.
When you are used to eating rice, dishes cooked in iron pots, having the same hairstyle as the Han people, wearing the same clothes and shoes, and even speaking Chinese, what is the difference between you and the Han people?
However, there is a difference. The people of the Baiwu tribe do not have household registration issued by the Han government yet, but Youfu is not in a hurry. At present, the Baiwu tribe is developing very well under his leadership. After the city is built, he will invite them to join. I believe these people will definitely not refuse.
Since this routine was invented by Luo Chong, the Han tribe has always used this method to expand and grow. Youfu has long been accustomed to this routine. The reason why the routine has become a routine is because it works every time and succeeds every time. It naturally becomes a routine after being used many times.
