At the foot of Tianshan Mountain, a villa area has become a villa area.

Yang Fan's army was stationed here. On the plain below, the Heshuote people had begun to mobilize to start logging and transporting the stones that had exploded by the engineers.

It is winter now, and the Heshuote people cannot go to the south of the desert, as they will freeze to death. They can only wait for the beginning of spring before leaving. Yang Fan decided not to let them stay idle, so as not to have any trouble. He simply started to build Dihua City.

Now we go to the Tianshan Mountains to log wood, and the engineers blasted stones. They were responsible for using livestock to pull sleds to transport them to designated locations. They started building a city in spring. Dihua is the central city of northern Xinjiang. Building a city here is of great significance and will have a profound impact on the next few hundred years.

Yang Fan also hit a place and occupied a place.

The specific method is to build a city, and then join the railway and highway. Wherever there is something wrong, the army will arrive by train and steam truck in a blink of an eye. The railway is the backbone. The places with different trains on both sides are transported by steam trucks. The speed is very fast.

For places where roads are blocked, there are also camels and war horses, and ox and Sharmara's seven-ton caravans. In this way, as long as the Yang family conquered, it is difficult for local people to successfully rebel. Because of the dimensionality reduction of traffic, the army can quickly arrive to quell the rebellion.

Currently, 20,000 troops are stationed here. This is a small highland, and a wall is built with logs around it. Inside the wall, 1,500 small wooden houses have been densely installed. There are three-story villas, warehouses, livestock houses, etc.

Villas are generally used as barracks. A three-story wooden villa can accommodate forty or fifty people, and all soldiers can live in upper and lower bunk beds. Two small buildings can accommodate a squadron with more than a hundred people.

After the establishment of the Pegasus Special Division, it is still the end of winter. Although the mainland has become warmer, it will be colder here for a while.

Didn’t it mean that the spring breeze does not cross Yumen Pass? The southeast monsoon has to walk five or six thousand kilometers to the point where it reaches here.

Moreover, the impact of the western monsoon in Gansu is very small. This era is the Little Ice Age, and the impact of the monsoon on Xinjiang is even smaller.

It was not until the 21st century that with the warming of the climate, the monsoon gradually covered the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. In recent years, precipitation in desert areas increased a lot, and even many lakes appeared.

But it was not possible in the late Ming Dynasty. The drought here was extremely heavy. It was all due to the melting water of snow mountains and irrigating the pastures.

The army was actually very hard to fight the west. There was no way to march, so they could only live in a tent. Once it settled, it was necessary to prevent frostbite and loss of personnel. The winter here was very cold.

This kind of wooden house that can be assembled temporarily can now be widely used. Because it is so convenient and it is comfortable to live in. The wooden components are soaked in lime water and chemical potions. They not only prevent insects and fire, but also difficult to ignite. The safety is greatly improved.

Most importantly, the insulation performance of wooden houses is four times that of masonry. It is especially warm in winter and cool in summer.

In modern times, we don’t live in wooden houses, mainly because wood is much more expensive than cement. Now a set of solid wood furniture costs tens of thousands of yuan at any time. If you use solid wood to make a house, it will be great. Ordinary people can’t afford it.

In North America, it is because of its special national conditions, and the wood is cheap.

Now, in Vladivostok, the biggest business is a factory that manufactures wooden components. There are hundreds of workshops that specialize in this. The largest one is the Yang family, which employs more than 7,000 people.

Most of these carpenters were local savages. After they were caught, they were forced to go to the city to learn Chinese and labor skills. They gradually became workers.

Of course, there are many problems with this kind of forced naturalization. For example, there are always those who are arrogant and those who are guilty of crime. However, overall, after the policy of carrot and sticks, they have adapted to a new lifestyle.

Once they enjoy the convenience of modern material civilization, they will no longer be willing to go back to be savages.

After finishing her work as a maid in the Yang family, Bu Xiya went to school and graduated with excellent grades in one year. Then, she used the property she rewarded when she left and registered a wooden component workshop.

She brought in her relatives and people from her tribe.

She and his father went to the mountains to find the tribe.

The tribe is still the same, and it is hard in the shaft in the winter. One by one, who is frozen and hungry, is half dead. This is the case in winter. If you can survive, you will live for another year. If you don’t survive, you will be finished.

They drove the horse to pull the sled and brought hundreds of kilograms of rice and frozen whale meat.

The people in the tribe were boiling. In the middle of winter, they actually delivered food to them. The elderly and children were crying.

The rice was poured into a huge cast iron pot and cooked. The tribe fellow villagers threw a lot of dried vegetables, mushrooms, and frozen meat into it. Bu Xiya took out a small bag of salt from her arms. After struggling for a long time, she threw a small piece in it.

When they saw salt eating, adults and children were so excited.

Bu Xiya's family has been arrested for more than two years. The tribe thought they were gone. I didn't expect that they were so well in the Han territory. Everyone was envious.

Buxiya said to everyone: "If you go down the mountain with me and come to my workshop to work, you can eat rice porridge and salt every day."

Smelling the fragrance of rice porridge, they were in a state of turmoil, and they could not stand this temptation. However, their ancestors lived on the mountain for generations and were full of fear of life at the foot of the mountain.

This year is particularly sad. There were few wild animals last year, and they did not accumulate enough food to survive the winter. They were worried that Buxiya's family was here and brought much-needed food.

His father finally convinced the elders that more than 500 people in the entire tribe went down the mountain and went to the workshop run by Buxiya. He learned to be a carpenter skillfully and went to log in as a stupid person. The old and weak were responsible for the grilling room.

After all, the workshop makes wooden components in 24 hours and three shifts, and it is not stopped. There is no time to wait for the wood to dry naturally. Although the wood that is naturally dry has better performance, no one will wait for three or four years before using it. They are all baked in the grill room.

The wood in the Northeast is everywhere, full of primeval forests, so how much you need. The biggest advantage of opening a wood component workshop is that the raw materials are basically free of money, as long as the wages of the loggers are paid.

They usually go all out in winter, go up the mountain to log wood, and then tie the logs that have removed the branches on ropes and pull them down from the snow-covered mountains. Ice and snow can reduce resistance, making it very labor-saving to pull.

If summer is gone, it will be over. The thorns are everywhere and cannot be moved at all.
