The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Since training as a telegraph operator, Liu Sheng's days in Tianmu Mountain and North America have become busy and stable.

He still gets up early every day and does morning training with his guards.

After breakfast, we inspected Huachu Camp or the surrounding Hebian Camp, Huazuo Camp, Huaxi Camp, Coal Field Camp, and Hexi Camp, and assigned some construction and production tasks.

Although the weather in North America has become colder and production in the fields has basically been suspended, the production in various workshops and factories has not stopped.

Even the Qingtian production team will organize young and strong men to cut trees.

As for hunting and fishing, they are still going on, almost rain or shine.

Because the consumption of meat by tens of thousands of people is a huge number.

In particular, the Yibu now advocates eating more meat (mainly fish) and eating less to reduce food consumption. Each camp consumes more fish and animal meat daily.

Fish and meat are transported from the fishery camp and the salt farm camp. In addition, it is easier to fish on the Xinluo River, so there is not much shortage.

But animal meat has become a scarce commodity.

Because several camps are located in the plain forests of the Central Valley, not in the prairie - if you are in the prairie, you can hunt bison, and beef, tendons, hides, and horns are all easy to obtain.

The most common animals in the Central Valley forests with a Mediterranean climate are American rabbits and turkeys, followed by coyotes and black bears, and not too many other animals.

After several months of hunting, the number of animals in this large swath of forest was significantly reduced across several camps, making hunting more difficult.

Before the arrival of winter, hunting teams could still catch many passenger pigeons with nets, but now the passenger pigeons have also gone south.

In order to solve the problem of animal meat shortage, Liu Sheng mentioned the work of raising six livestock when inspecting various camps.

In fact, major camps had previously raised large livestock such as mules and horses, as well as chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep. However, they were all obtained incidentally during the transfer. In addition, it was not the season for chickens and ducks to hatch, so the scale of breeding was not expanded.

In the spring of next year, major camps will prepare to follow Liu Sheng's guidance and try to establish small farms integrating pig, chicken, and fish farming.

Then raise ducks and sheep by the Xinluo River - because it is a plain forest area, the scale of sheep breeding is not expected to be too large for the time being.

However, by next year, if Weibu expands its power to the central and southern parts of the Central Valley, it should be able to find pasture there.

Liu Sheng remembered that although there are Gobi and deserts in the southern part of the Central Valley, there are also large areas of grassland that can develop animal husbandry during the dry season.

Even most people’s first impression of North America’s natural bounty: herds of bison, may be found there.

Liu Sheng also plans to set up a racecourse there in the future.

However, the best horse farms in California should be the meadows in the surrounding mountains - alpine meadows are often the cradle of outstanding horses.

There are still too few people in Kueibu, the development time is too short, and the foundation is weak.

It will take a few years to really make use of some of the good natural resources around us...

In the afternoon, Liu Sheng basically spent all his time training 23 telegraph operators.

In the future, the office of the Kueibu Telecommunications Office will be set up in Liujiazhai - after the Telecommunications Office receives the information, it can immediately send someone to deliver the telecommunications content recorded on the paper to the first floor of the villa, and Li Xiangyun will hand it through the door.

(When handing something over, you don’t have to reach through the door and just hand it over.)

Taking advantage of this period, Liu Sheng also further standardized the military and political classes and normal classes established in Hua Chuying.

These two classes are recruited from all camps in North America through selection and testing, and are currently in their fourth phase.

Moreover, these two classes also have formal schools, located next to each other. When the scale is further expanded next year, related schools will be established.

Adult schools and primary schools are also the focus of Liu Sheng's daily inspections.

People have more free time in winter, which is a good opportunity to study in adult schools.

In addition, Liu Sheng also sent out the family members of the standing army in Tianmu Mountain, Queshan, Suiping, Ruyang and other places one after another to reunite them with their families for the New Year.

And encourage these military dependents to settle outside.

For one thing, now that the foundation of Weibu has been established and the people are at peace, there is no longer any need to vaguely use military families as hostages to ensure the loyalty of soldiers.

Secondly, we are no longer afraid that these military relatives who have gone out will reveal the secrets of North America.

Hostile forces such as the Ming Dynasty may not believe it, and even if they believe it, there is nothing they can do.

After all, Ruyang City was occupied by the rebels.

Third, it is to facilitate soldiers and soldiers to visit relatives and reunite with their families during festivals such as the Chinese New Year.

Soldiers are all humans, not machines. Even if they are the most elite troops, soldiers will miss home after fighting for a long time.

If this emotion is not properly resolved, it may evolve into some bad behaviors that corrupt the discipline and morale of the army.

As the top leader of the Wei Department, Liu Sheng had to consider this issue.

Of course, family members are encouraged to migrate out on a voluntary basis.

The land exchanged for military work points, as well as the land for soldiers' military merits, can be redeemed in Runing next year, and the amount will be slightly more than in North America.

Because when the Kuei tribe confiscated the property of the evil gentry and bullies, they had already obtained a lot of land.

When the Ebu officially takes over the entire Runing next year, there will be even more fields that will be officially managed by the Ebu - only a small amount will be obtained from the seizure, and more will be abandoned fields that will be taken over by the Ebu as public property.

In order to prevent North American immigrants from wanting to move out, the relocation project will only be carried out for military dependents.

And this will definitely encourage young men from major camps in North America to enthusiastically join the army!

However, in the next few years when the Weibu conquered the world, he would raise the conditions for young North American men to join the army very high, in order to limit the large-scale migration of North American immigrants.

After all, he moved the people in to develop North America using outside manpower. If he recruited a large number of soldiers from these people and then let the military relatives migrate out, it would not only cause trouble for himself, but also seriously affect the development progress of North America.

As for the recruitment of soldiers from several major camps in North America in the past, it was because the Weibu did not have a stable territory outside at that time. Even if it occupied Queshan County, the soldiers recruited were not as reliable as the North American immigrants.

But as long as the Wei tribe can occupy the entire Runing Mansion as planned next year and hold it, it will be regarded as having a solid territory on the Ming side.

In this way, there is no need to recruit a large number of troops from North America.

···

When people are busy, they always feel that time passes quickly.

December 25th arrived in a blink of an eye.

It has been half a month since Liu Sheng returned to Tianmu Mountain and North America.

On this day, Liu Sheng was teaching telegraph coding knowledge to the female English class in the living room on the first floor of the villa, and Zou Runniang used a walkie-talkie to contact Li Xiangyun.

"Commander, Mr. Li has sent you a letter."

Liu Sheng nodded, "Let the guards in the village send it over."

Soon, a personal guard delivered the letter.

Liu Sheng opened it and looked at it, smiling happily.

Li Changwen said in the letter that he went to Queshan yesterday to propose marriage to the matchmaker on Liu Sheng's behalf, and the matchmaker readily agreed.

The wedding date of the two has also been set, which will be on the fifth day of the first lunar month next year!

In addition, Li Changwen also asked him in the letter where the wedding would be held and what scale it should be held on.
