The sea is wide and the fish leaps, and the sky is high and the birds fly. Finally, he left Zhao Guangyi's nose. At this time, Zhao Weiji finally felt relieved.

San Francisco is very easy to find because it is located in a huge bay on the west coast of the North Mainland. The fleet entered the bay along the mouth of the bay, and then sailed deeper into the water and found a river, which is strictly two rivers. This location happens to be where the two-day rivers converge into the bay.

They got off the boat here and prepared to build a city. Zhao Weiji named the new city Xinhua City, which means that this place is the new Chinese land.

After the place name was named, the entire advance force was ready to start the pioneering journey.

The first problem facing pioneering is whether the advance team of two thousand people is willing to devote their own labor to a new life in this strange continent.

Fortunately, the first group of people Zhao Weiji mainly brought the poor people who lost their homes in the Central Plains. From the moment they climbed to the New World, they had already received Zhao Weiji's promise that you can own as much land as you can. This is like a paradise for these simple farmers who have always longed for land.

In addition, Zhao Weiji's location was quite good. The two rivers hit a large plain, and there was a vast forest in the south, and there was no shortage of supplies. What's more, the fleet also brought enough grain reserves for half a year. As long as corn can be harvested smoothly for one season, food will never be a problem.

Since these people who arrived in North America first were basically willing to open up land here, the action began.

"Come on, everyone, let's tie the tent first, and then send someone to the nearby area to investigate." After getting off the ship, Zhao Weiji began to command the group of people to tie the tent.

"I'll take people to the nearby area." Seeing that some people had already started to build tents, Tie Zheng came over and volunteered to take people to the nearby area for a while.

"Okay, you go."

"Come on, get some weapons, let's go around nearby and find some prey." Tie Zheng left with a dozen people.

After Tie Zheng left, the work of building a tent here was also progressing smoothly.

"You have to do this here." Seeing that several students from academy were not very good at setting up tents, Zhao Weiji went to help decisively. "Did you see clearly? Try again."

After reading Zhao Weiji's demonstration, the students quickly mastered the key points, "Thank you, we understand."

The entire tent lasted about two hours, and a huge camp was built.

After the camp was established, Zhao Weiji summoned everyone to the open space in the middle of the camp, and then said something:

"Today we gather here to open up a new home on this new land. When each of us set foot on this land, there is no longer any status. From now on, we rely on our own labor to make a living, and no one exploits you anymore. There is land here for everyone to reclaim.

Everyone here is their own master, and your destiny is not decided by me, but by you. In three months, I will prepare a ship to return to the Central Plains. If any of you feel that you want to return to the Central Plains, you can return. However, if you want to stay here, please show off all your passion to build it here. I think you will definitely not regret staying here.

Next, let’s decide how to take the first step. In the future, I will only propose plans for everything, whether to follow my plan, or whether you have better proposals, and decide through voting, and the minority obeys the majority. Everyone has the right to choose, and no one will force you to do anything you don’t want to do.

If you agree with my proposal, please raise your hand."

After listening to Zhao Weiji's speech, everyone below was confused except for the people from the academy and those around Zhao Weiji in the past.

Deciding one's own destiny and voting to decide what everyone wants to do is not simply following the commands and being their own masters. These things are simply fantasy for those who obey the genes.

They couldn't believe what was in front of them, and they didn't know what to do.

Until a thin hand trembled and raised it: "I agree."

Everyone's eyes were focused on him at this moment, and everyone in the crowd revealed different emotions, such as confusion, praise, anxiety, etc.

But when everyone saw the firmness in the eyes of this thin young man, more and more hands were raised until everyone agreed, and then they would decide their destiny by voting.

Zhao Weiji knew that it was not easy to do this. He did not expect to establish a so-called civil-cooking society now. But he needed to sow a kind of civil-cooking seed.

The first step is to establish a society that I will give you direction, and you will choose whether to go in this direction. He hopes to build an experimental field in this new continent to see if it is possible to transform this society.

At this time, Tie Zheng also led the expedition back to the camp. They had a lot of harvest and hunted a lot of bison. So after arriving in North America, everyone had meat to eat at the first dinner party after arriving in North America.

...

A month has passed in a blink of an eye.

The land reclamation is in an orderly manner. The day after Zhao Weiji made that speech, everyone passed the first law of Xinhua City, which is division of labor and cooperation.

Each performs his or her duties, farms, logs, and builds.

Under the guidance of this law, the first two thousand people found their own jobs.

So, in the past month, a large number of farmland were reclaimed. Many trees fell down and many bricks and stones were burned out.

The first house appeared in Xinhua City, and Zhao Weiji did not use it as his residence, but named it the Municipal Hall. All the laws and policies will be issued here in the future, and everyone will also vote here.

When everything started, Zhao Weiji had to make the next plan, which was to go to South America to find potatoes, peppers, and sweet potatoes.

"Huanzhang, is the ship ready?"

"That's natural, you can set out anytime, Prince."

"Okay, then let's go."

Since everything is ready, Zhao Weiji, Wang Dayuan, and Snow led dozens of people to South America to find Lake Titicaca in the Andes, because it is the origin of potatoes. Xinhua City was temporarily handed over to Jiangyu Dali. Anyway, it is still under construction, and nothing will happen.

The boat walked south along the coastline, and the hotter it became. At this time, Wang Dayuan had already taken off his clothes and shirtless.

"Isn't this February? Why is it so hot?" Wang Dayuan, who was naked and thought it was not cool enough, complained while fanning the wind with a fan.

Snow, who has lived in a cold area since he was a child, had never experienced such a hot time? At this time, he had already suffered heatstroke and was directly carried into the cabin to rest.

Zhao Weiji, who was also so hot that he might have told Wang Dayuan that he was close to the equator, so he could only explain that he might understand: "Have Huanzhang ever been to Jiaozhi Siam in winter?"

"Yes, I have."

“Is it hot there?”

"It's hot, although it's not as hot as it is now."

"Actually, this is the south of Jiaozhi and Siam, so it's the same hotter than it is even hotter than there."

"Oh, it turns out that the more south you go, the hotter it is."

Since people in this era do not understand the relationship between the earth and the sun, Zhao Weiji can only use a similar rather than a method to explain why it is so hot.

After more than two months of heat in the sea, they finally arrived at the Peru country in South America, and only went up. Just when Zhao Weiji landed in search of potatoes, something happened in Xinhua City.

"It was clearly agreed that thirty kilograms of corn would be exchanged for fifty kilograms of firewood, why did you only give me thirty kilograms of firewood?"

"The corn you looked at was so wilted. Even this one dared to open fifty kilograms of firewood?"

"How good is my corn? Why isn't it worth fifty kilograms of firewood? You see, your firewood has not dried, there is so much moisture inside."

"You're cheating."

"You're just cheating."

The two of them started to fight as they quarreled, and you punched me, so big that it was so big.

After about five minutes of fighting, two soldiers finally came to separate them.

"What are you fighting?" These soldiers-like people are the guard system established by Zhao Weiji, which is responsible for general public security management and resolution of some disputes.

After being separated, the two men with blue noses and swollen faces told the cause of the incident, the guards had no choice because they could not tell who was right, because Xinhua City is basically in a barter stage now.

Everyone's supplies were not very rich, and no one brought many copper coins when they set off, so no one used them. However, the problem arose. Without money, how can the value of the commodity be measured? So the scene just now appeared.

The two guards who had no choice but to send them to the city hall to find Jiang Yu to see if there was any way to deal with this problem.

After arriving at the city hall, Jiang Yu fully understood the cause of the incident, and then he fell into the same conflict with the two guards. How to judge it is reasonable.

Fortunately, at this moment, a Tsinghua Academy graduated from business in the city hall was helping Jiang Yu deal with Yuchang's tax problems, so he stood up.

He looked at the farmers' corn, looked at the woodcutter's firewood, and then he said to the two: "Your corn is sold for about twenty cents per pound in the Central Plains, but I think your firewood is only fifteen cents per pound in the Central Plains. Do you think it's right?"

Both of them probably knew the market price in Zhongyuan, so they nodded.

"Since that's the case, then your thirty kilograms of corn are worth 600 cents. You can buy about 40 kilograms of his firewood for 6,000 cents. Do you think what I said is reasonable?"

The two nodded again.

"Then you give him forty kilograms of firewood, and then take the thirty kilograms of corn home, can you see?"

Although there is still a gap from what I said at the beginning, basically everyone took a step back. In addition, it was basically reasonable according to the Central Plains families, so the two of them gave up and exchanged things and went home.

Although the matter is over, the problem begins to become prominent. Before Zhao Weiji comes back, Jiang Yu must come up with a feasible plan, otherwise Xinhua City may collapse directly.
