After the two brothers of the Lin family came out of the mobile house of the port authority, they glanced at each other, and they both saw the excitement and excitement contained in each other's eyes.

Professor Luo loaned out pearls and silver with a total price of about 5,000 taels at low interest, which immediately solved the urgent needs of the brothers. In this way, it will be much easier for them to raise funds after they go back, and as long as they go to Fuzhou and sell the pearls, the brothers will be close to getting rid of the family shackles and having the dream of starting their own first cargo ship!

The Lin brothers' opinion of these people has also changed a lot...... If the ass is crooked, the view will naturally be crooked. Now in the eyes of the two, Professor Luo has become the elder brother of Song Gongming who fights for righteousness and squanders money, and the Chihkan New District has also become Liangshanbo where good people gather together, and these people have no shortcomings except for shorter hair.

......

After going back and summing it up, the two found that everything had been done, and now they were waiting to visit the kiln area and take a boat home in a few days.

The goods transported by the Xing'an Ping have been delivered in the warehouse, and the Lin family has also purchased two of the four coarse goods that can be exported at the moment for the return trip.

These four types of coarse goods are: wood, red bricks, salt, and clay cement.

The brick Lin family does not need it, and the local production of green and red bricks in northern Fujian is made. Although the red bricks produced by Dayuan are straight and neat, and the quality is higher than that of the local adobe bricks, but northern Fujian is a poor mountainous area of the 18th line to put it bluntly, and there are not so many rich households to consume luxury goods, and it is far less cost-effective to transport bricks than to transport salt.

Not to mention the timber, in the Ming Dynasty, the fir produced in Fujian was the most important source of construction and ship materials in the Jiangnan region.

Lin Baoquan chose salt and cement.

The salt goods produced in the kiln area are being loaded today. A small part of the salt is coarse salt produced in the salt factory, and the rest is fine salt produced in the kiln area.

Both coarse and fine salt are of much higher quality than the miscellaneous salts that the brothers are accustomed to. There is no difference between the industrially produced fine salt and the supermarket salt in small bags in later generations, white and delicate, without impurities, pure saltiness, and sweet aftertaste. After Lin Baoquan tasted the salt sample for the first time, he decided to fill the warehouse with salt packets on the return trip.

However, after two days of wandering around Chikan, he suddenly found that the cement on the construction site was also relatively easy to use, so he added a little cement to the warehouse.

In fact, there is not much soil in earth, and all the ingredients, including lime, clay and slag, are no different from later generations. The Tainan Plain lacks mineral resources, and the only thing that can meet the standards of industrial mining in later generations is limestone resources. The cement ingredients that cross the public are actually quite conscientious, and the lime ratio must be more than the small cement factory products of the county magistrate's brother-in-law's family.

However, no matter how good the ingredients are, it is useless if the equipment can't keep up. The kind of rotary kiln that was used to roast cement in later generations, and which rotated like popcorn, is not planned to be imported by the Ministry of Industry at the moment - the volume is too large and there are too many supporting facilities.

Without a rotary kiln, the old-fashioned stacking method can only be roasted, and the raw materials are heated unevenly in this roasting method, so the finished product is not satisfactory.

Of course, even if it is old-fashioned cement, the effect is enough to shock the indigenous people like Lin Baoquan, so when the Xing'an Ping returns home, it will take dozens of bags of soil cement back to the port for sale.

These crude goods, together with arquebuses and two small cannons, have completely exceeded the brothers' expectations. In addition, the heroes of Liangshan are conducting surprise training on some crew members of the Xing'an Ping in the past few days, and the gunpowder left by the Dutch is used to fire guns and train trainees how to kill people and set fires...... To tell the truth, there is no one who has such thoughtful service through the forces.

......

Two days later, the Lin brothers finally got their wish and were allowed to visit the kiln area.

The effect of the visit is naturally quite strong, and the old man who sang the Qin dialect watched Aunt Li Zhenxian's fan dance for the first time, and the shock was nothing more than that.

Everywhere there was a loud roar and a sharp whistling, craftsmen with cloth on their faces, grinding wheels spraying sparks, and large logs cut by large iron saws in an instant.

There is also a steelmaking workshop that looks like an underworld...... The huge iron furnace devoured the iron, the iron claws sliding above the head, the red molten iron spit out by the iron furnace, and the blue steel ingots......

In ancient times, there were many workers who needed to be hired in the iron works: "There were those who drilled mines, those who burned charcoal, and those who incited furnaces, and the rest of the furnace patrols, ore transporters, rice sellers, and wine sellers also had dozens of people, and hundreds of people often gathered in one furnace." ”

The Lin brothers couldn't understand this mysterious way of refining steel ingots without adding carbon, stirring the oven, pulling bellows, and only a few idlers who seemed to have done nothing. When the brothers came out of the steelmaking workshop, their legs were soft - the combination of the wild steelmaking process and the extreme scarcity of furnace workers struck them as strange and terrifying.

Professor Luo, who accompanied the visit, was empathetic and hurriedly took the brothers to the less shocking brick kiln to relax.

The brick kiln effect is good, at least the brick machine driven by electricity is not noisy or noisy, watching the workers shovel the brick mud into the brick machine, and the other end keeps spitting out neat bricks, Lin Baoan really can't hold back the question in his heart: He wants to know now, how do these mechanical irons move?

Professor Luo naturally couldn't introduce Comrade Faraday to the two, and when he encountered this kind of inexplicability, he could only explain it with the tried and tested Dongfang Tianyuan immovable mountain Dafa - pointing to the sky with one hand, smiling mysteriously, and shaking his head slightly.

Oh...... Now the Lin family understands in seconds, it seems that this iron windless automatic method is the secret of the people, I can't complain that these people are here to open a mountain and set up a cabinet, it turns out that there is a secret method in hand!

Lin Baoquan and the clan brother have always had different perspectives, the clan brother is microcosm, and he belongs to the macrocosm. So when the clan brother was asking about other people's secret methods, Lin Baoquan had already run to the side, looking at the endless stream of bricks and the endless red brick stacks on the brickyard.

In Lin Baoquan's eyes, the giant trees that are sliced in minutes in the woodware factory will be warships in the future; The steel that can be smelted in half an hour in the iron yard will be guns in the future......

His mind was floating far away at this moment, and he finally knew now why Master Xiong in Hangzhou and Master Luo in the senior were all indifferent when they lent him money...... How can these people be willing to live here with such secret skills? This generation will definitely gather troops to go out of the mountains in the future, who will dare to owe them money at that time, and are they not afraid of raiding their homes and destroying their clans?

Lin Baoquan had a clear mind at this moment, and no matter how doubtful he was, he turned his head to look at the back of the clan brother who had already run to visit the salt boiling pool, smiled slightly, and followed.

......

Four days later, the Xing'anping, laden with cargo, left Taijiang.

The Xing'an Ping set off with the Gouyan as the pilot ship, and through the crowd of ships, it finally returned to Hangzhou without an empty cabin, and in addition to salt, wood, red bricks and cement are now all exports.

The Lin brothers stood at the bow of the boat and kept waving. In fact, when they came to Dayuan this time, they gained something far more than the value of the goods themselves, not only goods, but also loans and something more important: hope.

No natives would be indifferent after seeing the steel factory, and the same was true of the Lin brothers, who were standing on the bow of the Xing'an Ping at the moment, looking at the Dayuan Island that was gradually moving away, and their feelings became more and more complicated.

......

Someone goes, someone comes. A few days after the departure of the Lin brothers' fleet, the girls who had attracted the attention of ten thousand wolves finally came......

In this era, there is no divorce when the two places are separated, and it is too common for men to go out to take the exam to work as an official, and not return to their hometown for more than a few years.

Nearly half a year has passed since the crossing of the occupation officials. During this time, the girls who were purchased from Hangzhou in the early stage of the crossing always stayed in Tangzhuang, not out of the gate, and did not step out of the second door, just like those women who were filial piety at home. It's just that they don't learn to be popular, they learn to count.

Most of the girls are bought from the Hangzhou market, and there are no free girls among the homeless, or in other words, before they become homeless and beggars, the family will sell the girls...... It's at least a way to live.

In fact, the vast majority of the "high-end population" needs to be purchased. This includes girls, including children, including some local craftsmen who are pawned as slaves, and the Hangzhou station needs to be bought first - the homeless beggars who don't want money will only be bankrupt farmers.

In order to cooperate with this population transfer work, which will always belong to the "highest level", the comrades of the Hangzhou station not only poisoned two official teeth before and after, but also spent a lot of money to buy dental stickers from the Yamen of the Political Secretary to help their own people ascend to the top position, just to buy some "high-end population".

After these poor girls are bought by the crossers, they will be recorded a small video showing their body and appearance, and then the hard drive will set off with the fleet. There is now a special "pomegranate community" on the big forum to show the image of the girl, and each traveler has an opportunity to use his "concubine funds" to select the girl.

Every once in a while, a small video of a new girl will be uploaded, and if someone has a crush on a certain girl, they can use their only "concubine funds" opportunity to make a decision. If someone has a crush on the same girl at the same time, then in the event that the negotiation fails, a brutal ROLL sieve mechanism will be activated to resolve the dispute.

Since the day it was founded, the Huamei community has been one of the forum sections with the highest attention, and people comment on the forum every day. Whenever there is a situation where many people compete for a certain girl, it is a popular program for everyone, and it will immediately lead to a large number of dog-headed military advisors, with comments and coaxing, and abuse.

Including Master Miaoshu, the initiator of the "concubine funds", some of the people who crossed earlier and had already bought a girl in the early stage have no chance to choose a new girl: the concubine fund is only once per person, and now the resources are tight, and only monogamy is allowed for the time being...... So these people are more depressed.

The new comrades are not having a good time, and they are often caught up in a painful tangle: there is always a feeling that a better girl will appear in a few days.

While telling themselves to wait, they were afraid that after the girl's luck, if they hadn't picked a satisfactory one at that time, wouldn't they have to go to the neighbor's house in the middle of the night to listen to the corner?

This tangle did not exist after the big office officially announced the departure of the next wave of fleets.

Overnight, all the pending girls on the forum were swept away.
