Chapter 18 Section 2 The Birth of a New Town

Le Corgi started working immediately, and the vast majority of people who participated in the labor were voluntary.By everyone's agreement, they were divided into groups, led by a foreman.Some people went to build roads to connect Liberia with the new town, and some people were sent to demolish the messy houses and reorganize them rationally.Le Corgis designated a new address. But the problem comes right away, there are no tools for the job.Due to various reasons, the immigrants had to give up farming in the fields, and they did not think of bringing them back when they left.In order to have the tools to work, most people have to go back and find them.

They had to travel long distances again.At that time, returning to Liberia was purely to avoid disaster.But this time the mood was completely different, they didn't feel tired at all.From winter to spring, they are no longer short of food and clothing, and now there is always a way to get enough to eat. When they think of this, they feel excited.Within ten days, the last group of people also returned.The construction site was in full swing. In a short period of time, the road lengthened a lot, and houses were erected harmoniously.Large open spaces were left around each house.It can be used as a garden later.The road is wide and there are houses on both sides. Liberia does have a bit of a city flavor, and it no longer looks like a temporary transitional barracks.At the same time, people began to clean up the garbage, sweep the streets, and remove the piles of dirt that had been littered randomly for a long time.

The first to be completed, and the first to be completed was Lewis.The house where Doric used to live.Despite its size, it didn't take much effort to tear down this lightweight home and rebuild it in another location.Sure, there are finishing touches to be done, but the foundations are dug, the house is hoisted, the walls are plastered, the partitions are repaired, and there's nothing left to wait for but to move in and live in. Moved on November 7th.The layout of the house is simple.The middle is used as a warehouse for temporary storage of goods.There are several interconnected houses surrounding the warehouse.They open their doors facing east, west and north respectively.Only the south facing side is a dead wall with no exit, so to get out you have to go through other rooms.

Write a few large characters with paint on the wooden board to explain the purpose of the room: government, court, and police are hung on the north, west, and east doors in turn.As for the last house, there is no indication of its purpose.But word quickly spread among the crowd: this is a prison. From now on, Le Corgi will not only rely on intelligence and intelligence to manage people; he will also have more reliable weapons: political power, legislation and law enforcement, and his authority will be based on these three pillars.Long-term hard thinking made him finally compromise and go to the other extreme, he must act in accordance with the law.Throughout history, human beings have always had too many shortcomings. Without it, the civilization and progress of society would come to a standstill.

The place and its signage tell people exactly what they are for.In short, it forms the framework of the government.Only civil servants are needed to carry out their duties.Le Corgis appointed civil servants without hesitation.Among the married men, forty were selected after a rigorous selection process, and Altleble directed them.As for the courts, Le Corgis offered himself to be president.But the day-to-day affairs were left to Ferdinand.Beauval handles. The second appointment caused an uproar.But it's not the first of its kind.Just a few days ago, Le Corgi made an astonishing move. Paying workers and selling food is meticulous work.Although the exchange of labor and food is simplified to only through currency, a complete accounting system must be established, so an accountant is required.Le Corgi handed over the position to John.Ram.This gentleman used to spend a lot of time drinking and drinking, indulged in excesses and became penniless, and joined the ranks of immigrants after being depraved and bankrupt.As for the purpose, he himself certainly doesn't know.He just believed in the rein, and imagined that he could easily survive in a fabricated, mirage, and chaotic land.Instead, things were worse here, and it was a miracle that this frail fellow survived two winters on Khost Island.Due to the pressure of life, he has participated in road construction projects since the establishment of the new government. He has tried his best, but with little success.That very night, he had to give up.Not only did he feel exhausted, but his white and tender hands were blistered by the stone.Therefore, when Le Corgi asked him to work as an accountant, he accepted the job with unspeakable excitement.Since that day, his humble character has never been seen again, he has become one of the immigrants, his bad reputation has become smaller and smaller, and almost no one talks about him anymore.

The ability of the government to maximize the use of human resources it has may just show that it has a wise leader.It is impossible for the leader himself to cover every aspect of everything, and he must have a group of competent people who can make suggestions.The talent and instinct of the leader are just manifested in Bole's knowledge of horses and deployment of troops. Le Corgis was a natural talent.And fate pushed him to the position of leader, he had to do his best and exert his greatest strength.His purpose is only one: to make the best use of people.Beauvaler was invaluable as a lawyer, despite his inability to do otherwise.He understands and is competent in legal affairs better than anyone else, and can supervise the leader who is often whimsical and whim when necessary.

As for John.Ram, who is considered the most incompetent among immigrants, has finally found a suitable job to do.If he has no strength, no thought, no thought, he is useless. Le Corgi's approach to forming a government on Khost Island was unusual.And he made a third astonishment. He moved from New Town to Liberia, medical equipment, books and medicines were all shipped to the government Lewis.Doric's old house has been given a new name. He only sleeps here for a few hours a day. The rest of the time, he patrols around.He not only encouraged the workers, but also helped them solve their problems on the spot. He firmly grasped the social order and coordinated the relationship between people.No one quarreled or fought anymore, it was a busy scene everywhere, and everyone was working hard.

He is leading these sad people to a better future.But the vast majority of people obviously don't know how much pain he has caused before making up his mind to take responsibility.How would they know?They are not psychologists, and they have no ideals. They don't think about his conflicts and traumas at all. They value material interests, while he is very different. He is concerned with spiritual things.As long as you observe their leader carefully, it is not difficult to find that he always seems to have an indescribable pain.Never showing emotion, Le Corgi looked even more icy now.His unpredictable face is unsmiling.If it was time to speak, he would only say a few words, and then immediately shut his mouth.Maybe it was because of his seriousness, maybe it was because of his physical strength, maybe it was because he commanded an army that people were in awe of him.However, even though people were afraid of him, they still praised his intelligence.People loved him because they knew he had a kind heart behind his cold face.Because people have received his care and help many times, and are still receiving his care.

Although there are so many things to do, Le Corgi seems to have endless energy.Moreover, he is both a leader and a doctor with excellent medical skills.He has to visit the sick and treat the wounded every day. Now, this kind of work is less and less.Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, the earth is recovering, and people are refreshed and energetic.Due to the influence of these several factors, public health has been significantly improved. Among all the wounded and sick, Le Corgi regarded it as the most important, and the most precious one was of course Algier.No matter what time of day, no matter how tired he was, he would visit the Indian's bedside twice, morning and evening.Graziina and her mother never strayed away, and he was delighted when Algie stabilized and the wound on his lung began to heal.On November 15th, after almost a month in bed, Algie was able to move around.

On the same day, Le Corgi visited the home of Lordes. Hello, Mrs. Lords!Hello, children!He came in and said. Hello Le Corgi!They answered in unison. Only in this friendly and harmonious atmosphere will he restore his smile and lose his coldness.Edward and Kernelly came running to him.He hugged the little girl like a father, and stroked the boy's head. Here you are at last, Le Corgis!cried Mrs Lordes, I thought you were gone. Too much work, too busy, Mrs. Lords. I know, Le Corgis, I know.Mrs. Lordes did not contradict him.It's all right, it's a pleasure to see you I hope you've brought me news of my husband.

Your husband is away, Mrs. Lordes, that's all I can tell you. Thank you for telling me these things!However, I wonder when he will be back. Not soon, Mrs. Lords, you will have to live alone for a while Mrs. Lords sighed regretfully. Don't be sad, Mrs. Lordes, said Lecurgis, bear with it a little longer, and everything will be all right.In addition, I found something for you to do, which can also be said to pass the time.Are you going to move, Mrs. Lordes? move place? Yes to live in Liberia. To Liberia, my lord, what shall I do? Do business, Mrs. Lords.You will be the most respected businesswoman in the country, firstly because no one is in business on the island yet, and secondly because you have an astonishing amount of goods and substances. To be a businessman?my product?Mrs. Lordes repeated in surprise, Le Corgi, what are you talking about? Ali.Lords' department store merchandise.I don't think you've forgotten that you have a department store like no other, and it's time to open it. how!Mrs Lordes protests, you wish me to be alone and my husband is away The kids can help, Le Corgi cuts in, they're grown up and ready to work.And everyone has to work here, I don't want anyone sitting idle on Khost Island. Le Corgi's voice became serious, but he was offering advice as a friend, not as a leader giving orders. And Doria.Cerrone and her daughter, he added, would come to help as soon as Algee recovered from his illness.Moreover, these things are useful, but it is not appropriate to let them sit idle for a long time. However, they are almost all of our property.Mrs. Lordes, impulsively, protested, What would my husband say if he knew I was risking my business in a troubled country?and the security situation here Very well, Mrs. Lordes, Lecurgis took the lead, very well.I assure you, it is safer than any other country. So what exactly do you want me to do with these items?asked Mrs Lordes. sell them. Who to sell to? people who come to buy. Will anyone come to buy it?Do they have the money to buy it? You don't believe it?You know, everyone took money with them when they left the US, and they're making money now. Can people make money on Khost Island? That's exactly what happens, they work for the government, I hire them, I pay them. So does the government have money?This is something new! The government has no money at the moment, Le Corgi explained, but it has food, and it can make money by selling these things. Since your family is also spending money to buy food now, I think you will understand something. Yes, Ali.Mrs. Lordes admitted that this is just an exchange, and the immigrants should hand over their labor income in order to feed their stomachs.However, I still don't understand how they come to buy my stuff. Don't worry about that, Mrs. Lords.Also, I have set prices that will give the immigrant a small savings. So who is the balance of the difference? Leave it to me, Mrs. Lordes. Then, Le Corgis, you will be rich. It seems so. Mrs. Lordes looked at the other party with surprised eyes, but he pretended not to see it. Mrs. Lordes, I think this matter is very important, he said firmly, your store will be able to open in the near future. Take it at your convenience, Le Keji.Madame Lordes agreed listlessly. Five days later, the store opened.It was November 20th at this time, and Calori was returning in the Valjet, just in time for the opening of Mrs. Lords' department store. Caloli put Mr. Lordes behind Penta Arras and returned alone.Mrs. Lords was very anxious, and he couldn't answer the questions she kept asking.She went to Le Corgi and asked him to explain, but it was in vain. But Calori was stunned by what he saw.In less than a month, the changes have been earth-shaking.He no longer recognized Liberia, and only a few rooms remained in the old place, most of which were built around the so-called government offices.The 40 closest ones are the government police, and the head of each household has a gun. The remaining guns are kept in the homes of Le Corgi and Altleble, and they are guarded 24 hours a day.Gunpowder was hidden in a warehouse in the middle of the house, and there was no direct exit to the outside. In the distance, is Ali.Calori was particularly surprised by the Lords department store.Although the Indian had seen department stores in Penta Arras, in his eyes, there was no other store as rich as this one. Farther away, everywhere, people are working in full swing, people are digging foundations and building new houses.Work is going on in all directions, and some wooden and stone houses are breaking ground. The house layout is rigorous and reasonable, and the roads criss-cross.The road is spacious enough to drive four cars side by side at the same time.To be honest, the road is still a bit uneven and soft, but over time, people walk on it, and it will become flat, firm and hard. The road from Newtown runs across the plain like a diagonal straight line to the river.Countless stones are piled on the embankment to build a stronger bridge to replace the current small bridge. There are hardly any homes left in Newtown.With the exception of the four sailors on board the Jonathan and three other settlers who intended to fish for a living, the original inhabitants had all left and moved into Liberia's new home.The new town has completely turned into a fishing village. People leave early and return late, and every day when they come back, the cabin is full of fish. Despite the decrease in Newtown's population, all housing construction remains static.Such was the decision taken by Le Corgi, and the Caloli house was preserved.When the Indian returned home, he was very happy to see that Algie had recovered from his illness. But he was also very sad to find that Le Corgi had moved away.From the time they started living together until now, they have never been separated, and the years of common life are over!It's such a big change, but Le Corgis smiles instantly whenever he sees his faithful companion, and he's sure to stop what he's doing for a few minutes to talk to him. One day, as usual, Le Corgi went early in the morning to inspect various projects under construction, and then inspected the entire colony.And confirmed the government's expenditure and the food in stock, and finally came to the road construction site. Everyone was resting, shovels and picks were thrown all over the ground, and most of them were lying on the edge of the ditch, taking a nap and resting, with their clothes pulled back, exposing their hairy chests to bask in the sun.Others ate casually and said something neither salty nor bland.As soon as Le Corgis appeared, those lying down stood up, the gossipers shut up immediately, everyone took off their hats, and gestured for welcome and respect. Hello Governor!The workers greeted him one by one. Le Corgi walked on, only gesturing in reply. On the way, he found a hundred or so immigrants surrounded by women, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.Suddenly, the sound of a violin sounded from the crowd and reached his ears. violin?Since Frieze.After Gross' death, it was the first time a violin sounded on Horst Island. He walked into the group, and people automatically made way for him.In the center of the crowd were two children, one of whom was playing the violin, but rather clumsily.Another put rush baskets and bouquets of wild flowers on the ground.The varieties of flowers are nothing more than Senecio plants, heather, holly, and holly. It was Dick and Sandler Corgi who, because of the sudden change of circumstances and the turbulence of the situation, forgot both of them.But why only think of them?There are other kids here.They also had a home, and they lived in the loyal and kind Altleble's house.Sander really didn't waste his time, since he took over Fritz.Gross's violin is less than three months old now, and it takes a rare musical talent to improve so fast and reach his current level.He has no mentor and no books, and he has reached the level he is today entirely by groping.Obviously, his skills have not yet reached the point of perfection, and he is not even considered an excellent performer.His basic skills are not solid, and he is full of mistakes, but the things he plays are accurate in expression, and there is no need to deliberately pursue them. What he shows is a kind of nature, a kind of simplicity, a kind of innocence, and a melody of lightness and joy. , he conveyed them one by one with firm and happy notes. The sound of the piano stopped, and Dick had just finished arranging things and spoke: Dear Citizen of Horst, he said in an exaggerated and comical tone, held himself up despite his diminutive stature.My collaborator, the person in charge of the Art and Music Division of Dick Company, a famous music master, and the violinist of His Majesty the King of Horst, is very honored to greet you and welcome you. He stopped, took a breath, and then said , and speak faster. Dick yelled again: Dear citizens of Khost, the concert is free, but other merchandise costs money.With all due respect, these items are built to last.Today Dick's sells flowers and baskets.In the future, there will be a bazaar on Khost Island, and it will be very convenient to go shopping with a basket. A bouquet of flowers costs five cents!Five cents a basket!bring it on!Dear Citizen of Khost!Quickly pay for it!Please do it wow! While Dick was talking, he circled around and showed the samples to everyone. At this time, in order to heighten the atmosphere and stir up emotions, the violin began to play elegant and melodious melodies again. The audience laughed heartily.Le Corgi heard them talking a lot, saying that he hadn't seen such a scene for a long time.Dick and Sander must be using people's rest time to come to the construction site to do this special business.It's a miracle he never found out. Now Dick looked at the remaining flowers and baskets. Ladies and gentlemen, there is only one basket left, he declared, and this is the best one ever made!The last one is perfect and a dime! A woman hands over a dime. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much!Made a total of forty cents!Get rich!shouted Dick, taking a step and doing a dance. But the foot came back immediately, for Le Corgi pinched the little dancer's ears with his hands. What is this for?he asked sternly. He looked at it out of the corner of his eye, trying to figure out if Le Corgi was really angry, he immediately put his heart down, and replied in a very serious tone: We're at work, Governor! You call this work?Le Corgi let go of him and said. He just turned around and faced Le Corgi face to face. We've figured it out, and he said with great pomp and complacency, Sandra, I sell flowers and baskets, we've made money a few times, we can sell shells, I can dance and spin around, that's a job, Governor! Le Corgi couldn't help laughing. Yes, he admitted, but what do you want money for? To your accountant John.Mr Ram, Governor. how!Le Corgi exclaimed, John.Ram is asking you for money! He didn't ask us for money, Governor, Dick explained, we gave him money for food. When Le Corgi heard this, he was completely stunned, and he repeated mechanically: For food?You also spend money on food?Don't you live with Mr. Altleble? Yes live together, Governor.But this does not prevent Dick puffed out his cheeks, and in spite of his small stature he imitated Le Corgi perfectly.He said in a funny, deep voice: Work is the first law. Are you laughing or getting angry?Le Cocoud chose to laugh, and he laughed very heartily.Dick had absolutely no intention of laughing at him.And why blame these two self-reliant kids?There are plenty of people much older than they are who want to get something for nothing. he asks: So, what do you get to eat in exchange for working like this? That's what I think.Dick answered very positively that he would earn sixty cents a day, seventy cents if he was lucky.We earn so much just by working, Governor!This money can feed a person.He added in a more serious tone. Feed a man!The audience roared with laughter.Exasperated, Dick stared at the laugher. What's wrong with these idiots?He gritted his teeth and said with a look of exasperation. Le Corgi brought the conversation to the point. Sixty cents is indeed a lot.He admitted, but you'd make more if you built houses or repaired roads. Impossible, Governor.Dick retorted. Why is it impossible?Le Corgi asked. Sander was too young to have any strength.Dick explained that the tone of his speech was very gentle, and there was absolutely no sign of contempt. how about you? oh!I! Listen to the tone!He, he certainly has power, but to do so would be to mistrust him, to be unfair to him. Yes, how about you? I don't know he's thinking and stammering, I don't know either Then suddenly he said: I, Governor, I love liberty! Le Corgi looked at the little guy with great interest.He was bald, and the breeze ruffled his hair.He stood upright, with his head raised, his eyes bright.He saw his shadow in this child, generous but persistent.He once loved freedom so much, regarded it above all else, and hated all kinds of shackles, so he would fight against any artificial shackles.But experience proves that he has gone astray, and the facts are overwhelming. Human beings can completely give up the freedom he invented, which is difficult to achieve.On the contrary, as long as human beings have food and clothing, even if they put on shackles, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.And, whether it's an adult or a child, sometimes it's not a bad thing to have a teacher to guide you. He explained: Freedom, my child, must be obtained first. The principle of life is to benefit others and self. To achieve this goal, one must first learn to obey.As I said, go to Mr. Altleble and tell him to find you some work as he sees fit.Also, I have to think about how I can get Sander to continue studying music, go ahead, my boy. This encounter with the two children reminded Le Corgis of another matter, that there was an important problem to be solved, and the children were running about the camp, jumping and jumping.Parents have no time to care about them, so they have to let them wander the streets from morning till night.To transform human beings, the next generation must be nurtured.Therefore, it is imminent to establish a school. But he doesn't have superpowers, even though it's a big deal, he has to wait until he returns from the hinterland.He had planned this tour for a long time since he came to power, but had to postpone it again and again because of too many things, and now he can go away in peace, because the government machine has enough momentum to make it in the short term. keep the country running. Calori has been back for two days.Just as he was about to go out, another incident happened, and he had to postpone the plan again.Early in the morning, he heard a fierce quarrel and couldn't help walking there.There were a hundred or so women screaming and yelling with emotion, for in front of them a great plank barred their way, which was Padson's yard, fenced in with logs and improvised by a plank Make a gate to keep people out of the yard.Moreover, just a few days ago, it seemed that the position of the door should also be set back a few meters. People immediately surrounded Le Corgi and sued him. Since last spring, Paderson has devoted himself to planting vegetables, working hard to obtain abundant fruits.The man who never feels tired will have a good harvest this year.After the fall of Beauvale, almost all the residents of Liberia came to him to buy fresh vegetables. Much of his success so far can be attributed to his picking the right location.By the river, there is no need to worry about irrigation water, and it was his trump card that caused the conflict. The Padson vegetable field covers an area of ​​two to three hundred square meters, and the shortest road from Liberia to the river happens to pass through here.Downstream, on the right bank of the river, is an impassable swamp.Therefore, we have to make a detour and pass through the small bridge at the entrance of the river, which means we have to go 1,500 meters to the west.On the upper reaches, there is a section of more than one mile long with steep embankments protruding abruptly. The women of Liberia, then, had to cross Padson's yard to get their daily drinking water.But the owner of the yard had forced a line of demarcation, cut off the way with a fence, and finally went so far as to declare that to walk through his estate was a violation of his sovereignty, and cost him a great loss.Therefore, last night, with the help of Long Jie, he found a thick board and nailed the door shut.The next morning, the women fetching water were all disappointed and angry when they saw this situation. As soon as Le Corgi appeared, the crowd immediately returned to calm.People want him to do justice.He patiently listened to both the pros and cons and then made his verdict.To everyone's surprise, the verdict was in Paderson's favor.In fact, the closed door ordered by Le Corgi should be removed immediately, and an area of ​​20 meters should be set aside as a public road. At the same time, it should be recognized that the landowner has the right to demand compensation from the government. He lost a piece of cultivated land for the public interest. .As for the amount of compensation, it should be settled through normal channels.There is a lawyer on Host Island, and Padson can consult directly with him. The verdict was delivered that day.This is also the first case accepted by Bovale.After much debate, he ordered the Horst government to pay fifty dollars, which was cashed on the spot.The Irishman beamed as he took the money. Opinions vary on this case, but generally applaud the way it was handled.People have formed such a concept that no one will dare to plunder their private property from now on.So everyone is more confident that this effect is exactly what Le Corgi expected. After the matter was settled, he immediately hit the road.In three weeks he traveled to every corner of the island, he went to the northwestern tip, to Dumas and the eastern part of the Bud peninsula, he visited all the pioneer families, the lands abandoned by winter and the upheavals He didn't miss one of the homes he drove out. According to the final results of the investigation, there are 42 families with a total of 161 people still living in the Mainland.These forty-two families should all be counted as successful, but the results have been mixed.Some families just fill their stomachs; while some families plant more and reap more because of the more labor at home. The other 28 families, a total of 117 people, had to go to Liberia to take refuge during the turmoil.These lands are still uncultivated, but they seemed to be thriving before people gave up. In the end, there were one hundred and ninety-seven pioneers who ended in failure.Among them, more than forty heads of the family have already died in Huangquan.The rest returned to Liberia for the winter and joined the seven hundred and eighty. Le Corgi inquired about many situations and was warmly welcomed and received warmly by the people.When the people heard that a new government had emerged, there was excitement.When they learned that the new government had also made careful arrangements for them, they became even more emotional.After he left, everyone felt that they had a bright future, and they were more enthusiastic and motivated. Le Corgi kept detailed records of what he saw and heard along the way.At the same time, according to the different conditions of each farm, a corresponding plan has been formulated. These materials will come in handy when he returns to Liberia.Within a few days, he drew a map of the island, a topographic map, with each farmstead marked out in detail and accurately.He then selected one hundred and sixty-five families, assigned them to the island, and issued land certificates to them. Land is the most solid foundation, and now it is distributed to individuals and becomes private property. This is a complete revolution, and in his ideal kingdom, he hopes to implement the land equalization system.He personally issued the eternal land certificate, and those who received the certificate were overjoyed. These simple pages are the land.So far, they have been living in turbulent, uncertain days.But a few pages changed everything.They became the masters of the land, which can be passed down from generation to generation.The fallen leaves return to their roots, they now finally have roots and can live and work in peace and contentment, they are no longer immigrants, they have become real Khost people. Le Corgi first issued certificates to the forty-two families who had been farming and farming; then he issued certificates to the twenty-eight families who were forced to leave their families under the threat of rioters. Five families were screened, and although they failed, certificates were awarded to them as long as they were deemed capable of doing well.As for the others, do not give them land. This measure is by no means aimed at any one individual.If there is unfairness in the distribution of land, most people will scoff at the decision.Those families who have planted crops have relatively less land allocated to them.As for the families who go to reclaim wasteland, they can get more land.But all decisions are based on a legal standard, and the interests of the government are above all else.Those who are the wisest, the most intelligent, the strongest, and the bravest get the most land, while those who do nothing get nothing.There is no need to think about making them proletarians, or giving them only a little land and making them work all their lives. Also, Khost Island had to form a workforce.There are a few former land reclamation operators, such as the four families headed by Li Weili. The manor is large and the business is prosperous, and they really need to employ hundreds of workers.Therefore, whether it is in the countryside or in the city, there are plenty of jobs to do. Liberia was empty again.As soon as the owner of the land received the certificate, he immediately set off with his family and, of course, a large amount of food.The food issue Le Corgis promised will continue to be sent in the future.Some people who have not been allocated land are not far behind, and go to the countryside to find work and sell their labor. By January 10, there were only about 400 people left in Liberia, of which 250 were of working age.There are more than 600 people in the interior, including women and children.Le Corgis had already ascertained from this trip that the actual population was less than a thousand, for many died, nearly a hundred during the first winter, and a few more in massacres.In short, Khost Island is relatively deserted. Although there are fewer workers in Liberia, the work continues.Le Corgi showed no signs of anxiety, and it soon became clear why he was so calm.A few days later, that is, on January 17, a steamer stopped in New Town opposite. It was a large ship of 2,000 tons.The unloading took place the next day, and the residents of Liberia were pleasantly surprised by how many things had been unloaded.First cattle, sheep, horses, and even two sheepdogs; then agricultural products: plows, threshing machines, mowers, seeds of all kinds; countless foodstuffs; large wagons and small carts, And metals: lead, iron, steel, zinc, tin, etc.; and tools: hammer, saw, chisel, setback, and a hundred others; Metal drills, and many, many other things. In addition, the ships brought not only materials, but also labor: 200 workers and 200 farmers each.As soon as the cargo was unloaded, they joined the immigration procession.With a strong workforce of 450, the project progressed rapidly. The roads in the new town were built in a few days, some people built bridges, some people built houses, and the second road leading to the interior began to be built. To the farm, deliver living materials.This is the main arterial road, the main artery, from which any outlying area can be reached in this area. But there's more to Liberia's residents than that.On January 30, another ship came in, which came directly from Buenos Aires.Like Kamijou, he brought many things.In addition, a lot of goods were delivered to Lords Department Store.The variety can be said to be readily available, even for some small things: feather hats, lace, net buckles, belts.Horst women can dress up beautifully from now on. Another two hundred laborers got off the second boat.On February 15th, the third boat arrived, with another two hundred people.From that day on, there were eight hundred laborers.Le Corgis estimated the numbers, and there was more than enough to carry out his grand plan, starting with the construction of a dam at the outlet of the river, and the cove of Newtown would later become a safe port. In this way, under his guidance and with everyone's efforts, various tasks have been preliminarily completed, various projects have begun to take shape, and the entire business is full of vigor and prosperity.In this way, step by step, from scratch, a new type of city was born suddenly.
