Struggle in the Steam Age

After finishing the ceremony of putting the two steam sailing ships back into service, Lawrence did not leave the port, but stood there waiting for something. Soon, a very burly figure walked over from the city.

"Good noon, Orchid." The big guy who came to Lawrence was the bull head shaman orchid. Iron hoof. Looking at the whole piece of freshly baked rice bread in her hand filled with salted fish and some vegetables, she knew that she had rushed over before lunch.

"Good noon." Lanhua said to Lawrence after swallowing the food in his mouth. "I am very happy to see that you are willing to accept the invitation of our tribal elders to visit my hometown. Will the two of us pass by in a while?"

"Of course not." Lawrence said, shaking his head. "Nara will go with the two of us in a while. For the situation in your hometown, I must not be able to check the situation alone, so I need to call Nora to go with her. If she is flying in the air, she can be specific to you. Have a more comprehensive understanding of the situation and draw a more comprehensive map by the way. In addition to Nora, there is also a small delegation of five or six professionals responsible for comprehensive negotiations with you."

"You humans always make one thing very complicated, but at least redrawing the map. I admit that we tauren are not as good as you humans." Lanhua said after listening to Lawrence's words.

"After all, all the surrounding conditions in our tribes are passed down by word of mouth among our tauren. No one even thought of drawing a map. After hearing what you say now, I hope Your professionals can bring us better changes in all aspects."

"Definitely." Lawrence patted Orchid's fluffy forearm and said, "Among our people are experts in agriculture and churches who are good at animal husbandry, and there is also one who can treat people and animals. Doctors who see a doctor. There are even professional settlement planners. I believe they can bring you enough help."

Soon, following a small green figure flying over from a distance, it stopped in front of Lawrence. Then Nara thrust in her waist and flew in front of Lawrence and said: "Sister-in-law Syfiel asked me to inform you. You can go to the tauren for inspection with confidence, and leave the matters to her. Up."

"It's really troublesome for her." Lawrence knew that Syfiel was the kind of personality that couldn't calm down. Although all the women's college taught her allowed her to deal with the current situation with ease, she did not like to do these things. For her, staying at the desk to deal with a large number of documents is almost like killing him. Compared with this, she is more willing to stand at the forefront of the pioneer team with her sword to make a **** way out.

But since she chose to become Lawrence's fiancée, she will naturally take on the obligations she should bear as the mistress of a noble family. So even if he doesn't like Syfier anymore, he will suppress his nature to deal with documents that are completely boring in his opinion.

Lawrence felt very fortunate to have such a childhood sweetheart fiancée. After all, someone had to be able to calm down the people here when he left the territory, and his father was not so suitable in many places because he was a clergyman. Therefore, only Saifeier can undertake this important task.

Not to mention that the materials needed for the construction of the island are imported from outside the island and produced by oneself. The materials that the astral plane can provide are also an important part of the material supply chain. On the other hand, the construction of the astral plane also requires Lawrence to continuously send in a lot of things from the outside to speed up the process.

Fortunately, now that the entire island is under busy construction, Lawrence can use this opportunity to hide all the accounts of the main plane and the astral plane in only Lawrence, Syfiel and Narasan. Individuals can see the entire island construction in the general account.

For this reason, the three people who can see the general account can only leave the port area for three or four days at the same time for a short time at most, and a one-week journey like Lawrence’s plan to leave here must leave one person at the port to handle these Material issues. This time, because Nora had to accompany her, Syfiel had to stay in the port.

A few minutes later, the team preparing to go to the tauren tribe also appeared on the dock. Then everyone boarded an inland river cargo ship anchored on the dock.

This ship was previously used to transport tauren people who entered the island and wanted to work out into the city and bring those things from the city back to the island. However, because the trade volume between the two sides is relatively small, the ship averages a week. Only run once. And today, this ship just has time to send Lawrence and the others into the island.

Because the vegetation on both sides of the river is well maintained, the river water is not very turbid. Among them, the water conservancy facilities on the side of the plain and supporting the river have all been repaired, and water can be seen flowing along the repaired ditches to some reservoirs, and then out of those reservoirs and watering along the irrigation canals. Land on the plain.

Standing on the boat, you can see that the rice in the paddy fields is growing vigorously. Some farm workers are busy with these crops in the rice fields.

In addition, Lawrence can see some capybara farms also built by the water. Unlike pigs, cattle and sheep, this rodent is a semi-aquatic herbivore, so even domesticated species must require a pond when they are raised.

However, because they are relatively cheap to raise, they are also very adaptable to the hot and humid local climate. So Lawrence still raises this animal as an important source of meat on the island in the future. For example, this time the gift from the Tauren tribe contained more than two hundred kilograms of dried capybara meat.

It's a pity that this animal can only give birth once every eight months and can only grow up a year later. So this time the capybara jerky was traded from the surrounding islands. But if everything goes well, the first batch of capybara meat produced on the island next year can be launched smoothly.

There are some red and white colored wooden **** floating on the river, where each wooden ball represents a shallow beach. This is a buoy for future navigation in the river. Because of the shortage of manpower and the lack of urgent demand for inland waterway navigation, it is only a short period of time that the river enters the sea.

In addition to the occasional contact with the Tauren tribe on the current river, ~www.ltnovel.com~, only a few farms close to the river rely on small wooden boats to transport people or things on short-distance routes, but the small boats that travel along the shallow shore are not. These markers are needed.

Not to mention that the development of marine fisheries has led to very low prices for various seafood products on the island. Everyone is often willing to spend a small amount of money to buy processed marine fish directly from the dock instead of spending a lot of time and energy on fishing from the river. So basically no fishing boats can be seen on the river. Only some children use their own fishing rods to fish by the river after finishing their studies and labor.

With the rhythmic roar of the steam engine on board, the small inland steamboat that Lawrence and the others took slowly left the plain where Niujiao Bay was located. The artificial signs on both sides of the river bank also slowly disappeared, gradually giving way to nature.

At this time, we can see that both sides of the strait have become lush tropical rain forests. The sounds of some animals came from the jungle, but because of the dense vegetation, they could not see what was making the sound.

Because both sides of the river have always been unchanging lush jungles, Lawrence returned to the cabin after watching for a while on the deck. He now needs to recharge his energy for the meeting soon.
