Three days later, Zhang Wei returned with his thousand crew members.
Among them were some people who were not used to living here, and they followed the boat back.
The next time we come, there will be 110,000 people arriving at the same time.
By then, the entire Dongzhou base will have expanded by more than ten times.
For now, the size of Li Min's base is less than one millionth that of Dongzhou.
It will take a long time to completely occupy the entire Dongzhou.
But now is a good start.
I believe it won’t be long before he takes over Dongzhou.
In addition, many places in Dongzhou are not suitable for planting, so there are not many places that are actually available.
But that really didn't have much impact on Li Min.
Here Li Min can fully display his talents and make Shengtang Group develop faster.
As for other core personnel such as Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang, they also carried out a new round of construction, planting and research activities.
Because things are newly assigned, what everyone does is purer and faster.
Become more efficient.
Mainly reflected in several aspects.
In terms of security, Xue Rengui's 1,000 men, armed with live ammunition, patrol the base closely 24 hours a day, and regularly dispatch helicopters to patrol the entire farmland.
They also inspected the areas around the base.
If anything unusual or dangerous is found, it will be dealt with as soon as possible and reported to Li Min.
Li Min will also give them the most timely feedback. If there is no feedback, everything will be handled by Xue Rengui.
No one dared to question Xue Rengui's handling of the matter.
Their range of activities spanned twenty kilometers and nearly fifty kilometers vertically, and a total of one thousand square kilometers was occupied by them.
More than 90% of such a large area is planted with crops.
These crops will be harvested in the summer.
These crops will produce more food for more people to eat in the future.
Crops have also become diversified.
As for Su Dingfang, he was thinking about how to expand the planting area every day, and he even flew people fifty kilometers away to check out the new planting base.
This search directly revealed that hundreds of kilometers of land can be planted.
Therefore, he asked Li Min for instructions.
"Sir, now our planting has reached a length of fifty kilometers. I found that there are still seven hundred kilometers up and down where we can plant. I want to develop there, but if we use this Jinshan as our base, it will be too far away for us. We may not be able to control the place. Therefore, I request you, sir, to build another base."
This is what Su Dingfang said.
Li Min thought for a while and said: "Don't think about it for the time being. The current land can provide food for nearly a million people for a year. Planting too much is not good for us. We need to build more granaries for storage." , This will only slow down our construction progress."
"But hundreds of my two thousand people are currently idle. They need to be given something to do."
"Fruit trees can be planted in the nearby mountains and they will process them. The harvest will be ready in a few years."
Li Min said.
We cannot blindly expand now.
If you want to expand, you have to wait for the next group of people to arrive.
"Sir, why didn't I think of it? There is still a lot of space in the nearby mountains and forests that can be used." Su Dingfang said.
But the conversation changed.
"only……"
"Just what?"
Li Min asked.
"It's just that there seem to be a lot of savages nearby. We have encountered them a few times and been attacked by them."
"What? Let Xue Rengui do it." Li Min realized something was wrong.
Since there are savages around here, it's not a good thing for him.
With the increase in personnel.
Their range of activities will also increase.
Therefore, Li Min wanted to talk to them.
Keep them away from here.
Perhaps a solution can be found that suits both parties.
Soon Xue Rengui arrived in front of Li Min.
"Sir, are you looking for me?" Xue Rengui asked.
"Yes, do you know about the appearance of savages in the nearby mountains?" Li Min asked directly.
When Xue Rengui heard this, it turned out to be this.
"Yes, sir, we have driven away several groups of savages. They were too close to our base, so I had people drive them away, but the effect was not good."
Xue Rengui said so.
"Looks like I need to talk to them."
There's nothing that dialogue can't resolve, and if anything, it's the lack of sincerity on both sides.
Li Min believes that his sincerity will let the other party know his determination.
As long as there is dialogue, then prosperity can be shared.
This is what Li Min wants to do.
He does not want war and wants everyone to develop together.
Of course, we don't want a political power to emerge here, but more development centered on the Shengtang Group.
At this time, Xue Rengui said: "The language they speak is incomprehensible. Moreover, they have many feathers on their heads and their postures are strange."
This was still too difficult for Xue Rengui. How could he know what the other party said.
Even if the other party gestures, he doesn't know what they want to do.
And this kind of language barrier can easily cause some conflicts.
After all, cultural differences can lead to misunderstandings on both sides.
Sometimes a simple gesture can make the other person angry.
However, Li Min knew that these people were Indians and aborigines from Dongzhou. It's Indian.
Li Min will be able to learn this language after a while.
Therefore, he thought of communicating with them.
Perhaps they could be allowed to join the Shengtang Group and Li Min would provide them with food.
Let them work for Shengtang Group.
This may be a way.
Of course, they still have to make their own choices.
But if you want to live a better life, joining the Shengtang Group is the only option.
"It's okay. Where did you find them? I'll go meet them." Li Min said.
"In the mountains to the northwest."
"Okay, let's go by helicopter!"
Li Min said immediately.
"But they are still too dangerous." Xue Rengui said.
He was right to worry, the unknown was the danger.
"It's okay!" Now that Li Min has decided to do something, he will not give up.
We all know.
"Sir, they have spears and bows and arrows. You'd better wear some protection here." Xue Rengui added.
Since you can't persuade Li Min, let him wear protective clothing.
"Sure!" Li Min agreed.
After all, meeting them this time might be an adventure.
If Li Min is gone, it will be a fatal blow to the people here.
No one can bear such a blow.
Maybe in the future, when Zhang Wei's ship comes again, everyone will also want to go back.
Without Li Min, everyone would have no direction, and it would be meaningless to stay here.
