Yang Yun was worried about the lack of manpower.

Back in Datang, it was a quarter of the afternoon Shen hour, and there was still some time before nightfall.

He was going to rest for a while, and when the sun rose in South America, he would take Yarou over and explore the terrain, preferably to find the Inca or Mayan settlements, and see if there was a way to get a group of laborers to come over, which was the best solution to the shortage of manpower at present.

Lying on the bed, I was about to close my eyes and rest, when a voice came from the door, but it was a subordinate who came to report, and Henan Yin Liu Hengzheng personally came to visit.

"Is there something wrong with Liu Fuyin?"

Yang Yun came to the study, and soon Liu Hengzheng came, and as soon as he entered the door, he bowed his hand.

Liu Hengzheng said with a smile: "I have seen the national teacher before, you have some goods in the market that are in short supply, which are worth a lot of money, and the petty official came to ask Mrs. Xia if he could buy some from you." ”

Yang Yun remembered that when Liu Hengzheng went to visit the laboratory, which was the house presented by Mrs. Xia, he saw the silver mirrors, glass beads and other things he had made up, and he didn't pay much attention to it at that time.

He had never thought of doing business with Liu Hengzheng before, and he was not ready to cooperate with Mrs. Xia.

But Liu Hengzheng suddenly came to inquire about it, and Yang Yun realized that there might be something to be done.

"It's all a little bit of a thing, what's ...... Mrs. Xia is interested? Yang Yun asked with a smile.

Liu Hengzheng had a deep smile on his face, and said: "The national teacher has an inconspicuous gadget here, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is a shocking good baby...... Mrs. Xia is very strong, if she can use the power of the national teacher to do a little business, it is also very good......"

Yang Yun had long known that Mrs. Xia's background was very unusual, and now was the time when he was short of manpower, if he could borrow a group of laborers from Mrs. Xia, he could solve his urgent need.

He is not afraid that the people sent by Mrs. Xia will turn against him, the key is that he is the only one in the Americas who has the passage to go, as long as he sends people over, he will listen to him after all.

"Those things are just something I made casually in addition to alchemy, if Mrs. Xia is interested, she can go back and talk about it in detail."

Yang Yun didn't refuse, but he didn't seem too positive.

Talking back, he said that he was not very optimistic about this matter.

Liu Hengzheng heard some signs, and said with a smile: "Why don't you invite her to a place, how about you discuss it yourself?" Even if they can't talk, she also has generous gifts. ”

"Do you need to be in such a hurry?"

Yang Yun frowned, looking impatient, deliberately hanging Liu Hengzheng's appetite.

Liu Hengzheng hurriedly said: "Even if we meet, the national teacher will not have any loss, right?" Wangguo Shi gave the junior official this thin face. ”

Yang Yun bowed, "Okay, I'll bother Liu Fuyin to lead the way." ”

……

……

Liu Hengzheng really took Yang Yun to meet Mrs. Xia.

Mrs. Xia's demeanor is still the same, the only difference is that she became much more cautious after seeing Yang Yun, obviously knowing that Yang Yun's status at this time was extraordinary, and she treated Yang Yun as an immortal.

"I heard that Madame wants to buy my goods? Are they all trivial gadgets? Why bother to alarm Madame to go on a trip herself? Yang Yun's smile revealed an evil aura? The old and spicy Mrs. Xia was stunned? couldn't judge what Yang Yun really thought in his heart.

Mrs. Xia smiled and said, "Merchants are highly profitable, since you have a high-priced in-demand product?" Can slaves profit from this? How can you not be tempted? ”

Said and threw a wink? Yang Yun couldn't bear to look at it directly.

He is not interested in a woman like Mrs. Xia? The idea is to recruit enough people to colonize the Americas.

Yang Yun said: "This is just something I made casually after alchemy?" I didn't have a plan for mass production? If Madame wants? Why don't you allocate a group of people to me? I instructed them to make it? You just take it and sell it. ”

"Manpower?"

Mrs. Xia is very strange.

Yang Yun had never shown any interest in her and the forces behind her before, but now he actually offered to cooperate and ask for someone with her, which is simply the best thing.

With her people by Yang Yun's side, everything is easy to do, so that she can keep an eye on Yang Yun at any time, know what Yang Yun is doing, and even learn the progress of alchemy, and find Yang Yun's flaws from the clues.

"What, is Madame in trouble?"

Yang Yun frowned slightly, showing impatience.

Mrs. Xia couldn't ask Liu Heng the reason for the politics in person, so she smiled and nodded: "The slave family can't ask for it, but there are not many people with the slave family, only sixty or seventy people......"

"Let them all come to my aid."

Yang Yun didn't think about it, so he asked Mrs. Xia to transfer people.

"This ......"

Mrs. Xia didn't understand Yang Yun's intentions, so she had to ask Liu Hengzheng with her eyes.

With Liu Hengzheng's shrewdness, he would not casually make suggestions to Mrs. Xia in front of Yang Yun, he smiled, turned his head to the side, and pretended to be innocent.

Mrs. Xia said: "Then the slave family will go and allocate manpower...... Can they really help you make silver mirrors, glass balls and other in-demand goods? ”

Yang Yun stiffened his face: "I'll know when they arrive." ”

……

……

Yang Yun is very straightforward.

Mrs. Xia originally wanted to send someone to spy on and use him, but he naturally made the best use of it to make the other party steal chickens and rice.

The group was instructed to report to the workshop outside the city by the water.

Because Mrs. Xia's manpower was very scattered, it took time to summon and assemble, and it was not until the second watch drum beat that the assembly was completed, and then they rushed to the destination together.

When he arrived at the place, Yang Yun came out of the empty workshop gate, looked at the black people in front of him, and was very satisfied.

"May I ask if you are the national teacher?"

A sturdy man in his thirties stepped forward, his eyes were blazing, and he looked extremely shrewd, most likely the leader of the group.

Yang Yun counted it, there were sixty people, and what Mrs. Xia said was correct.

It is expected that even if these people are not Mrs. Xia's descendants, most of them are willing to act as Mrs. Xia's meticulous work.

"Come in."

Yang Yun didn't answer the other party's question, and led the way directly in front and brought people to the workshop.

Inside the huge courtyard, the lights were bright, but except for Yang Yun, no one was seen.

These people were surprised, looked around, and followed Yang Yun inside.

"This is the place where I recruit people to work, there are alchemy furnaces and the equipment needed by craftsmen, you see if you have any handy, take one."

Yang Yun pointed.

The sturdy man who spoke before came over and asked in surprise, "National teacher, aren't you smiling?" Why is there no one here? What is the point of our visit? ”

"Aren't you sent by Mrs. Xia to help me make silver mirrors and glass beads?" Yang Yun asked rhetorically.

The sturdy man's face was flushed, and he didn't know how to respond.

"If it is, do everything according to my instructions, take what you have in hand, and go straight inside." Yang Yun pointed to the dark-looking gate in front of him.

There was no light coming out of the door, just like a ghost gate.

Immediately, the men began to look for tools in the yard.

Some people choose chisels, some choose shovels, some choose axes, and some people take a broom and go inside.

Yang Yun let them enter in turn, waiting for one to enter, and the next one to enter.

And as the number of people entering gradually increased, there was no sound at all from inside the door.

The follow-up people felt very weird.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and go in and work, it's best to have results tonight, make something to send to Mrs. Xia. Yang Yun urged.

More and more people are coming in, still quietly.

Of course, this group of people passed directly through the space door, using the cover of night, and it was difficult to find clues.

Since Mrs. Xia asked this group of people to come, she would definitely not notify more people.

And Yang Yun sent them to an island.

This is an island in the Pacific Ocean, not far from South America.

In this way, Yang Yun has a third base overseas.

Yang Yun prepared some food here in advance, and as for Tamsui Island, he will provide a batch of daily necessities in the future, which is quite like the variety show of survival on an isolated island in later generations.

After Yang Yun brought the people over, he was going to leave them idle for two days first, grinding off their edges and corners, and if this group of people did not obey the call, he would abandon them on a desert island, and he had the ability to build a small boat to cross the sea......

……

……

"Master, are you back?"

Zhang Jingyan and Wu Yuan waited in front of the space door.

Yang Yun returned to the No. 2 base, and the barracks here already had a certain scale at this time.

In the end, it is not thieves living in the second base, but a group of ordinary people, who find that only by listening to Yang Yun's words can they have the opportunity to return to Datang, and they can only build a settlement according to Yang Yun's orders, especially when they find that the surrounding area is full of dangers, they work harder to save their lives.

"How? Is there a house built here? ”

Yang Yun saw a circle of wooden houses set up on the left and right, and he didn't know much about the surrounding situation, so he took a few apprentices through the alley and came to the open space outside.

Yang Yun said before that the camp will not be able to be self-sufficient in a short period of time, but there is no problem at all in growing some vegetables.

"The place where they live is almost built, but so far they have not built a kiln, and without the guidance of skilled craftsmen, it is a little difficult to open the furnace by relying on them to explore."

Zhang Jingyan informed Yang Yun of what she knew.

Yang Yun nodded and said, "The purpose of building a city here is to mine and refine metals on a large scale, but now people are needed to build, open up wasteland and open mines, and there is a serious shortage of labor, so it is best to recruit more people to come over." ”

Wu Yuan shook his head and said: "These people are not easy to control, if more people come, I am afraid that there will be chaos." ”

Yang Yun understood Wu Yuan's worries, bringing the people of the Tang Dynasty to a foreign land, no matter how much money he gave, he couldn't let them work with peace of mind, it seemed that only recruiting natives to work locally was the most practical, but how could he lead people to search for and persuade the local natives?

"Have you spotted wild people these days?"

Yang Yun had asked Wu Yuan to inquire about the people in Camp No. 2 before.

Wu Yuan shook his head, meaning that he had not seen any natives approaching this camp for the time being.

The terrain here is open, and if you don't find the indigenous people, either there is really no indigenous activity around, or the indigenous people have already discovered them and are still secretly observing.

Yang Yun said: "I'll explore the surrounding environment well when I go back and see if there are any wild people, if there are any...... Grab a few and come back, you should be able to do something. ”

……

……

Just do it.

Anyway, Yang Yun doesn't have to worry too much about the situation on Datang's side now.

The relationship between Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan is going very smoothly, as long as Yang Yuhuan is smart, he can completely play Li Longji in the palm of his hand.

Yang Yun seized the time to explore the terrain and strive to find the Incas who could work as soon as possible.

But it may be that the population of the American continent in the eighth century was too small, coupled with the nearby tropical rainforest climate, the living environment was extremely harsh, and trying to find humans from the surrounding area was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I've tried with Yarou a dozen times, but I still haven't found any signs of human activity.

Yang Yun was about to give up.

"Master, what are we looking for?"

Yarou followed Yang Yun to a higher place, Yang Yun took a telescope and carefully observed the surrounding environment, Yarou looked around and blurted out.

At this time, the temperature outside was in the thirties, but Yang Yun and Yarou were wearing thick clothes.

In the rainforest, it is necessary to ensure personal safety, in addition to being vigilant against wild people with spears and sticks in their hands that may appear at any time, but also to prevent jackals, wild beasts, poisonous snakes, poisonous ants, leeches, etc.

Yang Yun's state was okay, but Yarou, who had been wearing thick clothes for a long time, was a little unbearable, and her bare forehead was sweating profusely.

"Of course they're looking for people, and if they can find someone here, they can bring them back and help us work." Yang Yun said his intentions.

Yarou asked puzzled, "But there are people here...... Master don't say it, is this the heavenly kingdom that leads to heaven and earth? Shouldn't all the people who live here be lonely ghosts or gods with magical powers? ”

Yang Yun was very speechless for this answer, and it would not work at all to explain it at this time, and several apprentices recognized what Yang Yun said to those craftsmen and Lifu.

"There will be people here, but they don't know where they are hiding, probably they are afraid of being found by other tribes, so they hide themselves, we have to find them, and then conquer them...... Be careful and try not to make noise. Yang Yun searched the surroundings and found no traces, so he could only give up for the time being.

"Let's go, let's go to the next place!"

……

……

Yang Yun and Yarou went to three or four places through the space door, and after exploring around, they didn't find anyone.

Until the afternoon, Yang Yun was about to go back to Datang to sleep for a while, and suddenly in a dense forest, Yang Yun found that there were human spirit waves nearby.

This is not feedback from a superpowered person, but a mental fluctuation that naturally emanates from an ordinary person, who instinctively realizes that there are likely to be people around.

"Get down!"

Yang Yun whispered to Yarou, Yarou became nervous when she heard this, lowered her head and looked at the front nervously behind Yang Yun.

Yang Yun led her through a bush, and to his excitement, he finally saw the indigenous South American Indians of this era.

The men were clearly engaged in a hunting operation, and they were carrying a large game like a wild boar on their way, and they did not notice that there were two pairs of eyes watching them.

And one of the pairs of eyes was very dangerous for them, because Yang Yun was ready to capture them back to serve as coolies.

"Who are they?"

Yarou leaned into Yang Yun's ear and asked softly.

Yang Yun didn't answer, he was carefully observing the route of these people, it seemed that these people had left special marks in the extremely complex dense forest, so that they could easily find their way.

When these people arrived in a place where the forest was not very concentrated, they could finally see their appearance and clothing clearly.

Black-eyed, black-haired, yellow-skinned, with a broad face, dressed in traditional Indian dress, with no upper body, animal fur around the waist, woven from grass like knee pads, and a strange kind of straw sandals on their feet.

They were holding wooden weapons with bronze tips in their hands, which looked extremely rough and almost deadly, but Yang Yun knew that this group of people should be experienced hunters, even large animals could be killed, and they naturally had the ability to kill enemies who invaded the territory.
