Chapter 882: The establishment of Panama City

Marin has always been suspicious of raising horses. Rather than worrying about the inefficiency of pulling horses, he was hesitant to promote horse farming in the American colonies.

From an economic perspective, it is best to promote horse farming in the Americas. After all, the American colonies lacked population, but the land was very large and fertile. If you use the horse, you can cultivate more land.

However, Marin has been worried that if horse farming is promoted in the Americas, the strategic resources of horses will inevitably be obtained by the Indians. If the Indians also made cavalry, how terrible?

Marin had seen many Western American movies in his previous life. Although the Hollywood movie was very sabbey, and the American slaughtering Americans were described as positive characters, I have to admit that the Indians in the Western America are really Tough. If it is as easy to conquer as the Eastern Indians, the United States now estimates that there are no Indians. At that time, the most powerful force of the American Indians was the Indian Cavalry.

The Indians were brave and warlike, and if the weapons were not too backward, they might not be able to beat the whites. You know, Indian men are basically tribal fighting power. If you let them get the horses and get the cavalry ...

Therefore, Marin has been hesitating whether to engage in horse farming in the Americas. After all, if cattle farming is promoted, even if the cattle are snatched by the Indians, the Indians will never create cattle cavalry.

After thinking for a whole day, Marin finally came up with a solution, that is-if an excellent breed of horse-drawn horse similar to the Berschulen horse is cultivated, it will be first promoted and applied in Europe. Then, the replaced cattle are sent to the American colony for application. Then, the early horses used on the American continent all used castrated gelding. Or simply use a mule to pull the cart. In this way, there is no fear of the Indians getting horses to grow. After the Cossack cavalry recruited by Marin was in place, he slowly expelled the local Indians. Wait for the Indians to be expelled, then slowly introduce normal horses. At that time, the Indians had been expelled, and they were not afraid of getting horses ...

After figured it out, Marin slept beautifully and slept until the next morning. After waking up, the refreshing Marin played a downloadable version of the "Yi Jin Jing" in the courtyard of the palace. Marin found that while practicing the Yi Jin Jing, although it can't develop any internal strength, like Wu Qin Xi, it is no problem to keep himself healthy.

Then he came to the restaurant, ate 5 beef buns, and drank a large glass of milk. As a beef bun for Ma Lin, this bun has a thicker skin than dumplings. It's wrapped in beef filling with **** and spring onions, and it tastes great. Of course, the cost is also high. The steamed buns sold in restaurants under Marin are very thick.

Speaking of which, Marin discovered a very interesting thing-when reading novels in previous lives, some historical novels that traversed the Tang Dynasty used sodium hydroxide (that is, sodium carbonate) as an artifact. Said what steamed buns use soda, it will remove the sour taste, and the effect of noodles is very good. Otherwise, the noodles made with old noodles will be sour.

For this, Marin has also experienced. This is because their home made noodles and cakes are also made of sodium chloride, and the effect is really good.

But after traveling across Europe, Marin found that in Europe, people do n’t use soda, and the bread made from the noodles does not have sour taste. At the beginning, Marin was a little puzzled and dreamed of using sodium carbonate to save the European diet.

But in fact, after the actual contact with Marin, I learned that the noodles fermented by Europeans with beer yeast did not taste sour at all. Even better than caustic soda. Because, adding caustic soda, Marin remembers to control the amount. Otherwise, it will affect the taste of pasta. But beer yeast is added, but there is no limit, and it is fine to put more ...

In other words, even without the use of caustic soda, Europeans can use high-quality yeast powder to ferment high-quality bread. It's just that beer yeast doesn't seem to be cheap. Because it is yeast made with more expensive materials, the price is not cheap, and most people cannot afford it. Nowadays, Europeans make pasta. In order to save costs, many poor people either don't make noodles, make hardcakes directly, or eat rye porridge directly, even without rye skin, just cook porridge ...

In fact, Marin didn't know that later on, Huaxia's pasta shops also began to use yeast powder instead of caustic soda. Because the use of sodium bicarbonate for pasta, once the amount is not controlled, it is easy to make the food taste bad. Using yeast powder is safer, and it can make the fermentation better. However, Marin is not a northerner, nor does he often eat pasta at home, and hasn't had much contact with these. Therefore, he did not know that later Chinese people made pasta, and they gradually replaced yeast with the yeast powder bought in the supermarket. Only old-school aunts still use soda for pasta. Also, those old noodles that have failed fermentation and have a sour taste need to be neutralized with caustic soda. The new noodles are fermented, only yeast powder is enough.

...

After eating a delicious thin-skinned delicious beef bun, Marin came to work in the front yard of the palace with satisfaction. At the same time, I also answer questions about Da Vinci who is studying physical chemistry in the middle school next door. If it is really impossible to answer ... it will stir up and distract Ada's attention ...

Soon after arriving at the office, about 9 o'clock, there was another news from Emden Port-Governor Gorard, who was responsible for opening the road of the isthmus of Panama, sent an emissary to take a boat back to report the results to himself ...

"Gallard? Reporting results?" Marin was taken aback. Because, in his calculations, the concrete road of the isthmus of Panama cannot be repaired. After all, it is purely manual road repair now, and there is no road roller to lay foundations, which is very troublesome and cannot be so fast ...

It wasn't until the messenger arrived later that Marin knew what Gorard reported ...

It turned out that Gorard sent someone to report this time, not to build a cement road. Even, it is not his own business. He reported to the bald arbon who was responsible for building Panama City.

The bald arbon is on the Pacific side, and if you want to send the ship back to Europe, you need to let the ship bypass the entire South America, which is not cost-effective. Therefore, he asked Gorad to send people directly from the Caribbean Sea to report back to the mainland.

Last year, bald Aben was ordered by Marin and led a fleet to bypass the Magellan Strait, the southernmost tip of South America, and travel north along the west coast of South America to reach Panama Bay, first in Tavo, not far from the future Panama City. On the island of Canada, a temporary base was built. Then, send someone to land and cut down all the big trees near the location where Panama City is scheduled to be built to make room.

It was n’t until June this year that the area near the construction of Panama City was cleaned up, and Aben also bought several local tribes with property according to Marin ’s instructions, to ensure that the locals would not mess up, and they were at the predetermined location. Construction of Panama City started.

Of course ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The first step in building a city is not to build the city much better, but to ensure safety first.

Therefore, Abben's deputy architect Storm, first ordered the 1000 black slaves Marin equipped them to build a large wall at a predetermined location. After the wall was repaired, construction of the city's buildings began.

This so-called "Panama City" is actually not as big as a community in later generations. Strictly speaking, it is just a dock-like building similar to the Huaxia Haoqiang family. However, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as the dock is completed, let Aben and his team stand in Panama, and then they can slowly plot.

In the process of building Panama City (or Panama Fort), Aben and his team met Gorad's men. Gorard's men had already cut down all the trees along the road where the cement road was to be built. Then, Gorard sent people to contact Aben and his party to confirm the end of the cement road on the Pacific Ocean. After all, this cement road was originally intended to connect Port Cologne on the Caribbean Sea with Panama City on the Pacific Ocean. If you do not confirm the end position, subsequent road repairs will be troublesome. Therefore, Gorard sent someone to confirm the location.

And the Panama Fortress of Aben has been built almost, and it happened to meet the people of Gorard. So, he asked Gorard to send the ship back to the mainland to report on the construction progress of Panama City and wait for Marin's next instructions ... ()
