Chapter 181: Helicopters
Due to the gathering of the strength of the major tribes, the construction of the bazaar was faster than Xiao Ning imagined.
In less than half a month, the first version of the bazaar was built.
Of course, the reason why it was built so quickly was also because the market was very simple, after all, the conditions were limited, and it was impossible to build the same kind of market as a modern city.
After the construction of the bazaar, all the major tribes brought their belongings to their stalls, and there was an endless stream of people visiting the bazaar.
Xiao Ning specially discussed with Yi Linfeng and asked him to send some people to sell dried meat or something in the bazaar.
Some tribesmen come to the market from far and wide, and it is impossible to go back after a look, and sometimes they stay for lunch.
Xiao Ning kept an eye on it, animals and meat products were not allowed to be traded in the bazaar, so this was also a guarantee that the dried meat could be sold in the bazaar.
After the bazaar was completed, there was actually a big problem, and that was the currency.
As more and more tribes joined the monetary system founded by Xiao Ning, the materials that could be used to make currency were already stretched.
Xiao Ning must find a way to get some copper materials, otherwise the currency will not be enough for so many people.
In addition, Xiao Ning also has to limit himself in this aspect, and he must not make currency without authorization, otherwise he will be chaotic.
Xiao Ning handed over this point to Jiang Fei and asked him to be in charge of supervising it to see if anyone was secretly making currency in private.
The operation of the bazaar has basically stabilized, Xiao Ning is about to start a new journey, he has already inquired, where there is a copper mine, he plans to take a look.
Two hundred kilometers north of the Yilin tribe, there is a Kamon who, like the Mais, is also a tribe skilled in mining.
In that place, there are a lot of copper mines, and the copper artifacts of the Kemeng tribe are second to none on a desert island.
It took Xiao Ning four days to rush to the Kemeng tribe non-stop.
The patriarch of the Kemeng tribe, Kemeng Xin, has a certain friendship with the patriarch of the Maisi tribe, Max Gao, and Xiao Ning also asked for a letter of introduction from Max Gao.
With this letter of introduction, Xiao Ning successfully met the Kemeng patriarch Kemengxin, and was warmly invited.
"Patriarch Kemonsin, I have come here to mine your copper mines, and if there are any conditions, if you mention them, I will definitely meet them. ”
After being full of wine and food, Xiao Ning did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Hahaha, don't be in a hurry about mining copper mines, I heard that you will build a city wall, you just need to build me a strong city wall, and you can mine copper ore as you like!"
"Well, no problem. Xiao Ning nodded.
"The walls I want must be as strong as those of the Irin tribe, okay?" said Kemonsin, squinting.
Xiao Ning also narrowed his eyes, and then said, "As long as the price is reasonable, there is nothing that can't be done." ”
"Looks like you're going to open your mouth?" asked Kmensing.
"High quality, of course, comes at a high price. Xiao Ning spread his hands.
However, Xiao Ning felt that something was wrong, it was obviously him who came to do business, how could it be that Kemengxin was a businessman?
"Well, you can mine the copper mines, but you'll have to give me some of the currency you'll have to make. Kemonsin said.
Xiao Ning smiled, this Kemengxin's appetite is really big, but in order to be able to mine copper ore smoothly, Xiao Ning had to agree.
"Don't think you're at a loss, or I'm taking advantage, I'll let my people mine for you, and don't need your people to come all the way. ”
"I want you to give some money to pay my people. Kemonsin said.
Xiao Ning was stunned, and then nodded, if he calculated it like this, he really didn't lose.
If the people of the Yilin tribe are allowed to come here to mine copper ore, not to mention that the current adult strong men of the Yilin tribe are not enough, most of them are mining iron ore in the Maisi tribe, if some more people are brought over, the defense force in the Yilin tribe will really be almost gone.
"In that case, it's time to bother the Patriarch Kremunsin. Xiao Ning said.
"Hehe, no trouble. Kemonsing said with a smile.
Xiao Ning didn't leave immediately, although it had been negotiated, he still wanted to stay.
First, he wanted to see if Kemonsin really sent someone to mine the copper ore, and second, he wanted to see how much he produced every day, and when he had accumulated a certain amount, he had to send someone to transport it back.
There were not many copper miners sent by Kemonsin, a thousand men, which was considered to be all the young men sent by a medium-sized tribe with only 7,000 men.
"The amount on the first day is not very optimistic. ”
Xiao Ning looked at the output of the first day, far from the output of the iron ore on the side of the Maisi clan.
Xiao Ning thought that it was probably the first day, because everyone was not familiar with the mining process.
But the next day, when he calculated, he found that the amount was still very small, only one-tenth more than yesterday.
This mining speed is really a bit slow!
Xiao Ning frowned for a while, according to his estimate, the mining speed would be increased by at least another twenty percent, and it would be considered okay.
Because there is an urgent shortage of currency there, he needs a large number of copper mines to meet the emergency.
Xiao Ning discussed with Kemonsin, and Kemonxin sent another two hundred men, including some more mature teenagers.
After adding two hundred people, the mining speed finally reached the standard, and Xiao Ning was also relieved, preparing to go back to the Yilin clan first.
According to calculations, after he returned to the Yilin tribe, in three days, he would be able to let people set out to retrieve the mined copper ore.
Xiao Ning followed the marks made along the way and returned the same way.
Xiao Ning's mark was done very carefully, because this time he didn't bring the little wolf cub Dumb, if the mark was missing, he might get lost halfway.
Xiao Ning thought that he would be dull along the way, but the appearance of a small black dot made him not calm.
On the second day of Xiao Ning's return trip, he suddenly heard a strange sound overhead, which seemed to be the sound of a howling wind.
Xiao Ning, who had just woken up, immediately stood up, looked up at the sky, and then found something that made him unbelievable.
That's a helicopter!
On this desert island, there will be a helicopter!
Was it someone from outside who came to the desert island, or was there a helicopter on the desert island that was owned by people like Chen Bailian and Zheng Cheng?
Because he had seen the locomotive team owned by the mysterious big man Rafite before, Xiao Ning didn't dare to greet the helicopter in the sky now, for fear that the owner of the helicopter was a bad guy.
The helicopter flew very slowly, heading towards Xiao Ning's left rear, and Xiao Ning vaguely saw that there were about three people on the plane.
Xiao Ning hesitated for a while, planning to follow and take a look to see who the owner of the helicopter was.
