Chapter 399: Familiar with the Road (Part I)
Although the two of them are used to this kind of laughter and scolding, but Duanmuqi wants to leave, Zhu Xiaobao is still a little reluctant, mainly because he has already become an official when he is the shopkeeper, and now as Duanmuqi leaves, he has to think about it himself, and he is still a little nervous and uneasy.
Originally, Zhu Xiaobao wanted to find out his life experience, and he planned to leave without any important identity. But now it seems that she can't leave, if she leaves, Yu Qianrou will be able to support herself for another two or three years at most. And he still has a very good feeling for this sister, which is the kind of sister-brother affection! So Zhu Xiaobao must stay to help Yu Qianrou.
In addition, there is another very important reason, that is, the inheritance land of the White Tiger clan is also very attractive to Zhu Xiaobao, because when he arrives in Zirui Country, he can faintly feel some kind of call from the inheritance land, and this feeling can only be felt by those of them who have the blood of divine beasts.
"In addition, the person who should also pay attention to is Princess Wen, Zhu Rong of the Vermilion Bird Clan, this woman is not simple, and what purpose she has, I haven't figured it out yet, maybe it's some secrets in the bloodline!" When Duanmu Qi left, there was no need to say much else, but for Zhu Rong, he once again reminded Zhu Xiaobao to pay attention!
"Got it, when do you estimate when I want 10,000 female warriors to arrive here, our mother-in-law won't object, right?" Zhu Xiaobao nodded, and then asked again.
"Hey, hey! Since the Lingyue clan is a branch of the White Tiger clan, Yu Qianhe will definitely not object! Besides, the land of inheritance is also very attractive to them! I estimate that in a short period of one month, in two months, 10,000 female warriors should be able to arrive! Duanmuqi smiled and nodded, in fact, if it weren't for Yu Hui's joy, Duanmuqi really didn't want to leave Zirui Country, he had a hunch that the situation here would become more and more exciting!
In the end, the merchant ship called by Duanmuqi finally set off, Zhu Xiaobao looked at this very dilapidated and simple dock, and shook his head helplessly, it seems that the first thing to solve is to build a new dock, as for the place where the ship docks, there are several very good places. Because he wants to control the sea and land first, that is to say, build the warship first! He has a lot of advantages in this area!
This time there were so many people of their own, and they were all familiar with them, which made Zhu Xiaobao suddenly full of confidence, and the current temporary residence was originally a small family, so not only the houses and sites were ready-made, but also many people were taken over by Zhu Xiaobao, in addition to letting most of the people continue to farm or do chores, Zhu Xiaobao also asked Mu Junyi to choose some of them who were more clever and quick-witted, because he had to use a lot of labor next!
The four Du brothers, as well as the two hundred people who came with them this time, were very excited to see Zhu Xiaobao, they now have a kind of worship for Zhu Xiaobao, no matter whether the conditions here are difficult or not, as long as they can hold Zhu Xiaobao, they are very satisfied!
With so many people at once, Zhu Xiaobao began to build a large-scale processing workshop, and also planned the roads and warehouses between several processing workshops, because he planned to build a processing workshop for burning knives, soap, and toilet paper, anyway, the four Du brothers were already familiar with the road, and there was also Mu Junyi by his side, and the data and formulas of all products, as well as the processing steps, etc., she recorded them clearly, which saved Zhu Xiaobao a lot of time!
What particularly surprised Zhu Xiaobao was that this time there were dozens of bags of saltpeter delivered by ship, which was sent to him by her sister Ye Qinghong! With these things, Zhu Xiaobao's heart will be more confident, and those powerful gunpowder can show their skills again!
However, Zhu Xiaobao started construction at the same time in several places, and the amount of silver required was also astronomical, and the rest could be handled, but the construction of the dock and the subsequent construction of the warship required a large number of building materials, and the most lacking in the middle was the iron embryo.
Zirui Country does not produce iron and stone, the only two iron and stone mines are still in the South Zirui Country, and now there is a small iron and stone mine in the southernmost part of the North Zirui Country, which is still privately owned by the Qin family, and the mining volume is low, basically only half of it can be supplied to the outside world, and half of it is used for its own weapons and armor! And the reason why Yu Qianrou has been able to supplement and update the weapons and armor in recent years is that there was an armament warehouse in the North Zirui Country, which had a lot of iron embryos and weapon armor in reserve, but it has been almost consumed in the past few years!
At dinner in the evening, Zhu Xiaobao and Ha Chitu were drinking and discussing together, Ha Chitu did not leave immediately, he also wanted to go to Nanzirui Country to see if there was a suitable business to start directly, he wanted to bypass Luofeng Island, and he could also save a lot of expenses, and at the same time earn more price differences!
"Old ha! According to my observation, the horses here are all locally produced, and their speed and endurance are not as good as your Western war horses, so they should be able to make a lot of profits! Zhu Xiaobao ate the roasted whole sheep carefully roasted by Hachitu's subordinates and said, not to mention, Hachitu will not treat himself badly anywhere, and even brought dozens of sheep and fourteen cows here. His aim is to sell the best, and if he can't sell it, he can enjoy it himself!
"Huh! Brother, I have already found out, brother, I will go to South Zirui Kingdom tomorrow to see what kind of business can be cooperated with for a long time! Hachitu drank wine, one hand came to hold a Western beauty, this guy does not forget to enjoy everywhere, in his words, life is short, to enjoy in time!
"Hmmm! Nothing else, if you can find me someone to do the iron and stone business, when my dock here is built, I should be able to cooperate for a long time! Again, I used burning knives, toilet paper, soap and other expensive goods in exchange for what I needed. Now it seems that iron and stone are the most scarce! Zhu Xiaobao watched Ha Chitu unscrupulously put his hands on the body of that Western beauty, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, Zhu Xiaobao has been abstinent from sex for two months when he came here! Now Ying Xiuxiu and they have just arrived, but they haven't had time to make love yet, so it's important to talk about serious things first!
"It's still not bothersome, it's all on me, you let me run all the goods produced, you just sit at home and count the money!" Ha Chitu didn't look busy with his hands, but his brain was spinning fast, and he wanted to exclusively underwrite these goods of Zhu Xiaobao.
"Huh! No way, you don't have any strong background here, if you do too well, hehe, I'm afraid disaster will follow! Just do your own business! Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said.
"Oh! I'm a little greedy! Hehe, thank you brother for the reminder, I will go to Nanzirui Country tomorrow, you can rest assured, I still have several friends in Nanzirui Country, I will let them sell the iron and stone here as soon as possible! Ha Chitu was shocked, and immediately understood the hidden risks, he was not from Zirui Country, if he made a big fortune in a short period of time, he could only bring disaster to himself, and those local merchants probably wouldn't let him be too presumptuous!
Temporarily got the source of iron and stone, although it will take a while, but during this time Zhu Xiaobao is not idle, he has to look for another place for volcanic ash, because the cement he is using now is produced with volcanic ash as the main raw material.
I asked a few people who were a little older, but they quickly found a place, but they didn't expect that when Zhu Xiaobao arrived there with the guards on horseback and whips, he was a little surprised! Because this is the territory of the Vermilion Bird clan, I didn't expect Zhu Rong to be waiting there with someone!
"Huh! I've seen the Lord during the inspection! I don't know what the patrol envoy is doing when he comes to us? We've always been law-abiding! Zhu Rong is still wearing a costume full of silver jewelry, indescribably charming and enchanting, she looks much younger and more active than the original Princess Wen!
"This is your territory? Why do you want to live here? As far as I know, this is an active volcano, maybe it will erupt someday? Zhu Xiaobao asked a little surprised.
"Hmmm! Let's go, I'll show you there! But it doesn't seem like there are so many people following, right? Zhu Rong smiled before saying, but when she saw the thousand iron horses behind Zhu Xiaobao, she was still a little reluctant in her heart.
"Of course, I just need to bring a few followers!" Zhu Xiaobao nodded, and now he has a close relationship with Zhu Rong, so there is no need to bring too many guards.
Originally, I thought it was very close, but when I ran with Zhu Rong and Zhu Rong, Zhu Xiaobao understood the allusion of Wangshan running a dead horse, and it took half an hour to run to the foot of the mountain, and the air here had a very hot atmosphere. Further on, even the horses were a little reluctant to go any further.
"You live here? Don't you feel hot? Zhu Xiaobao asked curiously.
"The people of our Vermilion Bird clan prefer to practice in such an environment, which can often play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort, which is also the unique physique and talent of the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast bloodline!" Zhu Rong's face was also flushed, but there was still some pride in her words!
"No wonder! These people are meditating and practicing, so that's what happened! "Zhu Xiaobao's heart moved, so what kind of way should his divine beast bloodline get twice the result with half the effort?
"Hmmm! Xiaobao, don't think about it, your way is too extreme, you won't like it! The best way for you to cultivate is to kill! The White Tiger is the main killer! That's why you were able to unify Zirui Kingdom back then. Zhu Rong looked at Zhu Xiaobao with a little awe, although Zhu Xiaobao was not ruthless, but because of his bloodline, Zhu Rong was still a little jealous!
"That's it! Forget it, I don't like to kill! Zhu Xiaobao was also taken aback.
"Actually, if you want to get twice the result with half the effort, I think Zhu Xin's approach can still be used for reference!" Zhu Rong whispered a little hesitantly.
"Double cultivation? And you? Zhu Xiaobao asked in surprise.
"Get out!"
