It has only been a month and a half since Shen Lang's 2,000 people landed on the Tide Forcing Islands, and everything can be described as surprisingly smooth.

After landing on the island, there was no resistance, because there was no one here.

Many years ago, it was a mine of the Russo family, specializing in iron smelting, and now there are many caves and abandoned smelting workshops.

But a few years ago, Duke Debos abandoned the mine.

Why? Because the iron ore here has too high sulfur content, and the iron smelted is too brittle.

Of course, even so, after all, it is a mine, and even smelting domestic iron can have huge profits, but then the Russo family found an iron ore with a higher taste, so they abandoned the mine.

So Shen Lang's 2,000 men easily occupied this place and began to cast the city.

That's right, it's the city!

How long does it take to build a city, even a castle?

It took more than ten years to build the castle of the city of the angry tide, the ducal castle of the Russo family took more than twenty years to build, and the palace of the queen city took twenty-seven years to complete.

How long will it take to build this city in Shenlang?

Shen Lang's goal is to build a city of 100,000 people in half a year.

When he said this goal, everyone below was stunned, thinking that he was talking in his sleep.

How big is a city of 100,000 people? Even if it is crowded, it will take about 10 square kilometers, and a city that stretches six miles and is built with 2,000 people, and it will take about two or three years to build with only wood, and about five years if it is made of stone.

Half a year, it's really like a fool's dream.

But it's like a magician, bursting out with the same new thing, which is simply dizzying.

First, he discarded wood and stone, two building materials.

These two things are good, but they are too wasteful.

The first thing he took out was cement.

Some people may say that cement is not slower, and it has to be calcined and crushed, and it is a completely labor-intensive industry.

This is half true, but who let Shen Lang find a piece of feng shui treasure.

Not far away is an island of fire with an active volcano that erupts every few years. So what is the most popular on the volcanic islands?

Volcanic ash.

When it is added to lime, it becomes pozzolana cement. It sounds very primitive, but the cement is already very strong.

All you need to do is send a ship to keep bringing back the volcanic ash, and as for the lime, there are several lime mines on the Bichao Peninsula where Shen Lang is located.

So almost from the very beginning, the production of cement was already very high, and it all depended on the capacity of his fleet.

As for the second thing, it is even less rare, and that is bricks.

He mobilized thousands of people to burn bricks and erected brick kilns one after another.

As soon as the bricks were burned, they were immediately built into houses.

The two-storey building, which is all the same, because there is no steel bar yet, is built with bricks and cement at most.

Even later, Shen Lang felt that the speed of building a house was too slow, so he simply made cement bricks on a large scale, so that it would be faster to build a house.

Therefore, the development of the Bichao Peninsula is simply changing with each passing day.

One house after another has sprung up.

........................

Now, just a month and a half later, a medium-sized and large town has taken shape.

Shen Lang has not only 2,000 people, but has skyrocketed to 5,000 people, and the remaining 3,000 people are all slaves, he spent money to buy them, of course, after buying them, they were all given the status of free people.

But it seems that the slaves were not particularly happy, and remained unkind, but when they moved into the new house, the ecstasy could no longer be suppressed.

Almost all the slaves live like a pigsty, even if they are slaves of the nobility, they are dozens of people in a room, and when they come to Shen Lang, they are all two people in one room, and twelve people live in one house, and they are so happy that they want to cry.

And these brick flat-roofed houses were like palaces to these slaves.

However, the work efficiency of these slaves is really much slower than that of the army, not that they do not work hard enough, but because they are too stupid, and most of the slaves can only do the simplest and most repetitive tasks, such as burning bricks, such as burning lime, and then making cement according to a fixed ratio.

But after buying these slaves, they finally freed Shen Lang's 2,000 troops from boring work, and they could go to more advanced jobs.

..............................

Shen Lang had already opened the box that Jiang Li had left behind.

It was opened very early, because when the moonlight shone on it, a series of Roman numerals and Latin letters appeared on the surface of the chest.

This is still a lockbox, Shen Lang was indeed a little surprised at that time, there is no doubt that this is another product of an ancient civilization, and there must be a nightmare stone in it as an energy source.

So what's the password for this box? There are nineteen of them.

It was impossible for anyone else to open this box, but Shen Lang could see its password almost at a glance.

It is too obvious that the surface of the box has a circle, so there is no doubt that it will be pi.

So Shen Lang pressed the Roman letter 3.141592653589793, and the box was opened directly.

It was full, with five bottles of pills, five volumes of classical books, and all kinds of information recorded by Jiang Li, with more than hundreds of thousands of words.

After Shen Lang finished reading it, he was really breathtaking, this is simply a huge treasure.

In particular, many of the materials recorded by Jiang Li are key secrets of the entire Western world.

But the embarrassing thing is that this box of things is not for Shen Lang, but for Princess Helen.

Shen Lang loves his daughter, and Jiang Li is of course no exception, but when Princess Helen was just born, he left the New World and returned to the Great Yan Dynasty, so he left the most precious thing for his daughter.

In the past month and a half, Shen Lang spent most of his time studying these treasures left by His Majesty Jiang Li.

It was simply too important, and it was completely Shen Lang's guiding light to open up the situation.

Here are a few examples.

Jiang Li told Helen in the information that there was a huge coal mine. The so-called fire oil, of course, is oil.

Where there are large gold mines, there are iron mines of the highest taste.

None of these count, the key is that he also marked the location of two ancient ruins, as well as the history and taboos of the Amazonian female warrior tribe, as well as their many secrets.

In short, the box left by His Majesty Jiang Li was simply a huge treasure for Shen Lang, and he studied it every day.

..................

And in this month and a half, Zhang Chunhua was really tired and vomited blood.

Shen Lang, as the sovereign, really didn't do anything, just ordered to do this and that, and all the deployments were handed over to Zhang Chunhua, as well as the Tianya Haige students she brought.

The internal affairs of the 5,000 people have already made her anxious, and she sleeps no more than three hours a day.

Because everything is starting from scratch, God knows how hard it is.

Fortunately, the shelves had been set up at this time, and she finally didn't have to do everything.

"Shen Lang, we have no money. ”

Zhang Chunhua walked in, sat down directly in front of her, and Niu drank a cup of tea.

"No money?" Shen Lang said in astonishment, "When we left Queen City, didn't we bring more than 300,000 gold coins with us?"

"It's spent. Zhang Chunhua said.

Shen Lang was surprised, it took so fast?

"We have bought more than 100,000 men of food, we have bought a lot of cotton, we have bought a lot of pig iron, we have bought a lot of blacksmiths, we have bought a lot of seeds, we have bought 3,000 slaves, and 20,000 slaves are on the sea. ”

"Half a month ago, you swiped your pen to buy thirteen sea boats, even if you let me sell them, I wouldn't be able to make so much money. ”

"Also, Your Excellency Shen Lang, can I ask, what are you buying these things for?"

Shen Lang said, "What is it?"

"Thirty gold coins a piece of silk, you bought one hundred and fifty horses, all kinds of colors, why?"

"And this gold and white jade belt, you bought ten at once, why is that?"

"The most expensive sturgeon caviar, and a hundred and fifty live deer, and three hundred dairy cows, two hundred and seventy cattle, fifteen-year-old red wine, white wine, sweet, semi-sweet, dry red, dry white five hundred and thirty barrels. ”

"All kinds of flower essences, a total of three hundred and fifty-six bottles. ”

"There are also more than 100 combs, horn combs, ivory combs, and jade combs. ”

"There are all kinds of gemstones, you bought more than 300 catties, and it was the first time I saw someone who bought gemstones. ”

"My Imperial Majesty, may I ask what you are buying these things for?"

Shen Lang said: "Use, eat, drink." ”

Zhang Chunhua was about to cry, and he couldn't wait to pick up the stool under his ass directly and smash the future emperor in front of him to death.

As a monarch, you lie down and read every day, and you still have to live a princely life.

We're struggling to start a business, and the things you use to buy luxury and enjoyment are more than tens of thousands of gold coins.

Are you really going to fight back to the Great Yan Empire?

Suddenly, Zhang Chunhua said solemnly: "Shen Lang, you are my sovereign, so I must admonish you, it is hard to start a business, how can you be so extravagant and wasteful, we are an overseas exile regime, we have a blue thread, what qualifications do we have to waste? You are so extravagant and invincible, worthy of your ancestors and ancestors, worthy of your people......

Zhang Chunhua's words were not finished before he stopped.

Because Shen Lang brought a glass of semi-sweet wine to her mouth and fed her directly.

Then, cut a piece of five-ripened steak and feed her into her mouth.

Finally, he put on a jeweled necklace and brought her a gorgeous dress.

"It's really ......fragrant," Zhang Chunhua said: "This skirt is so beautiful, there is still a brooch missing, the jewelry in Mengluo City is the most exquisite, next time we can go to buy those brooches and head flowers." ”

In this way, Zhang Chunhua went back in a daze with a lot of gifts.

But after a while, did she come back again, this time she did not reprimand Shen Lang's wasteful loser, but said bitterly: "Shen Lang, we really have no money, last time we placed an order for thirteen sea ships for pirates, they have already brought the ship, and it will be docked soon, pay the money with one hand and hand over the ship with the other, if there is no ship, we will not be able to transport enough volcanic ash, and the output of cement will be greatly limited." ”

Shen Lang said: "How much does it cost this time?"

"One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins. Zhang Chunhua said.

Shen Lang was stunned and said, "Why don't they rob it? A sea ship costs more than 10,000 gold coins?"

Zhang Chunhua said: "This ship was indeed robbed by them, from thousands of miles away, the price is very expensive, but it is also exchanged for human life." The profits at sea cannot be compared with the business on land, and the life of licking blood should be more profitable. And each ship has its own sailors, which is not expensive at all. ”

Some people say that the people of the Black Pearl are pirates, so why don't they rob them themselves?

Absolutely not!

Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, and Shen Lang must rely on normal trade if he wants to vigorously develop his own city.

As long as others can make money from you, pirates and maritime merchants will continue to ship things to you to sell.

This is the most effective way to obtain resources, and once your credibility is ruined, no one will do business with you.

"How many gold coins do we have?" asked Shen Lang.

Zhang Chunhua said: "Twenty thousand." ”

Shen Lang was a little embarrassed, he was really ruthless, and once he had money, he couldn't help but spend it all the time, all the time.

These thirteen ships were so important that they were needed not only to transport the ash, but also to transport saltpeter.

It can be said that sea ships are Shen Lang's lifeblood, and more than 10,000 gold coins seem expensive, but how much time can be saved for Shen Lang.

"How long will it take for these ships to dock?" Shen Lang asked.

"It's been less than ten days. Zhang Chunhua said.

Shen Lang said: "That's okay, I'll go out." ”

Zhang Chunhua said: "Where are you going?"

"Go to Jacques City. Shen Lang said: "Go and make money." ”

Zhang Chunhua said: "You, don't you really want to sell your body?"

Shen Lang snorted and said: "Look at what you said, how is it possible? No matter how I say it, I am also the future human emperor, how can I sell my body? This kind of thinking of yours is very dangerous, as soon as you lack money, you think about it, but in response to that sentence, women become rich when they become bad." ”

"I reaffirm that I am the future emperor of men, I am the most noble person in the world, and my personality must be flawless, and it is simply an insult to the emperor to say that I have sold my body. ”

Zhang Chunhua bowed and saluted: "I was wrong, Your Majesty the Human Emperor." ”

..................

Two and a half days later!

Shen Lang appeared in the Jade City in disguise.

It's an ordinary house, but once inside, it's magnificent.

It can be seen that the owner of this house is very wealthy, but because the blood is not high, the appearance of the house cannot be too high-profile.

This is the sorrow of the Vida tribe, even if you have money, you can only be in the middle and lower classes of the Xilun Dynasty, you can only live under the mountains of Bijin City, while those poor white people can live on the mountainside, even if you have no money, you can step on the top of your head.

"Honey, you...... Are you really coming to me? I miss you so much. ”

A beautiful woman pounced on her and immediately kissed Shen Lang.

After a few moments, the two of them rolled together, and all their clothes were gone.

Meng Luolan, who was protecting Shen Lang outside, heard this, and her scalp tingled.

This...... Is this the monarch to whom we are allegiated?

She could hear it clearly, before Shen Lang kept saying that he was a noble human emperor and must be flawless.

As a result, in order to ask for money, I really slept with a beautiful female maritime merchant.

This, isn't this a betrayal of his body?

It's simply bottomless, not like a human king. Her previous allegiance to Queen Medusa, how noble, how high.

Why is there such a big gap between people and people?

..................

More than half an hour later.

"Love, weren't you in Queen City a few months ago? Aren't you Queen Medusa's husband? Why have you come back to see poor and despicable Ciel?" said Black Widow Ciel.

Has she missed Shen Lang in the past few months?

But lovesickness?

No!

Hill is a very independent woman who unleashes her passion when she is with the man she loves.

But after separation, she will go back to her own life, and she can live well without a man.

Shen Lang said: "My dear, I want to do a business with you." ”

Hill's beautiful eyes trembled, she didn't want to hear this word, she said before that she wanted to marry Shen Lang and share all the wealth with him, she was completely sincere, once she got married and had children, she would be a family, and everything would be family property.

But at the moment, Shen Lang is obviously impossible to marry her, she can give Shen Lang a lot of gifts, even the most precious gifts, to express her love.

But just give money? That's not okay! It violates her rules as a maritime merchant.

Hill pulled away from Shen Lang's arms, put on silk pajamas, and said, "My dear, I love you so much, I am simply fascinated by you." But love belongs to love, and business belongs to business. If you want to do business with me, then I can only do it according to the rules of the maritime merchants. ”

Shen Lang said: "Of course. ”

Hill said: "Then what business are you going to do with me? My beloved man, are you going to sell your body to me? That's fine, ten gold coins at a time, this is already the highest price." ”

Black Widow Hill felt that his words were too serious just now, so he added another sentence provocatively and affectionately.

Shen Lang said softly: "But Hill is priceless to me, every time I am with you, I feel like I am sinking in heaven, I am willing to give everything in exchange for a night of joy with you." ”

As he spoke, he carefully opened the box and took out a bowl and a wine glass.

Hill's eyes suddenly lit up, and he trembled, "Porcelain?"

Doing business in the West is completely different from doing business in the East, and there are some things that are not worth anything in the Eastern world, but are very valuable in the Western world.

In the past, when the East and the West were not completely cut off, silk, tea, and porcelain from the Eastern world once entered the Western world, and like the ancient times of the earth, they caused a huge popularity.

Later, after the exchanges between the East and the West were completely severed, some people from the Eastern world entered the Xilun Dynasty, found wild silkworms in the wild, and began large-scale captivity, and reluctantly cultivated the silk industry of the Xilun Dynasty.

But even so, the price of silk in the Xilun Dynasty was still more than five times that of the Great Yan Empire, because their production was much lower.

Tea is simple, once the tea strain is discovered, large-scale transplantation, now the Xilun Dynasty has a piece of tea plantations, and the price of tea is only one and a half times that of the Dayan Dynasty.

But porcelain is difficult, people who fled from the Eastern world to the Xilun Dynasty are either soldiers or nobles, who will burn porcelain?

The history of the earth is the same, although the Western world bought Chinese porcelain very early, it was not until modern times that it began to produce its own porcelain. For thousands of years, silver and pottery were used extensively in Europe and Central Asia.

The same is true of the Xilun Dynasty today, where the wealthy and nobles use gold, the rich use silverware, and the common people use pottery.

With the interruption of trade, porcelain has long become a masterpiece. Only a few nobles have porcelain in their homes, and every aristocratic banquet, if you don't have porcelain in your house, you will definitely be ridiculed.

In the entire Xilun Dynasty, porcelain was the highest-end ware, and below it were gold and silver. Scarcity is always right.

Hill shines on the porcelain set by the lamp.

It's simply amazing, smooth as jade, thin as paper, and there are gorgeous patterns on it, not painted, but fired.

These three pieces of porcelain are even more precious than the porcelain of Duke Debos's family.

Of course, Shen Lang had lived in the Duke Debos Mansion for a long time, and knew that she had dozens of sets of porcelain in her home, which was simply a top wealthy family, and these porcelains were considered treasures even in the Great Yan Empire.

However, it is not as good as the three samples that Shen Lang took out.

Shen Lang's three pieces of porcelain are simply the culmination of thousands of years of porcelain craftsmanship on the earth, and they were fired.

In fifty days, thousands of pieces were fired, but only a few dozen pieces were produced, and the rest failed.

How can such a treasure not be stunning?

How not to be shocked?

Shen Lang pointed to this small bowl and said, "How much is this bowl worth?"

Hill looked at the light, and then her delicate body shuddered, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Because this bowl of white jade is flawless, thin and transparent, it looks as if there is no pattern, but under the strong light, you can see a delicate pattern, and even some like a watermark on a banknote.

And this pattern is Hill's portrait. It's amazing, it's so subtle.

"It's priceless to me. Hill said, "I want to pass it on from generation to generation." ”

Shen Lang said: "How much can such a bowl sell for in the outside market?"

Hill: "Is it a large-scale sale, or is it a small-scale luxury item?"

Shen Lang said: "Large-scale. ”

Hill thought for a while and said: "Because the trade between the east and the west has been cut off for a long time, there is one less broken porcelain in the Xilun Dynasty, and the price is already abnormally high, and a good porcelain bowl is probably more than a few dozen gold coins." And this porcelain bowl far exceeds the level of the existing porcelain bowls of the Xilun Dynasty, so it should be able to sell for a high price. But consider that once it is supplied on a large scale, scarcity will decline. But it will definitely sweep the entire Xilun Dynasty, and even when the time comes, it will be a shame for the nobility to have no such porcelain. ”

"So, I think it's a very reasonable price for fifteen gold coins for such a bowl. ”

This Shen Lang's estimate is almost the same, because what is sold is not a living utensil at all, but a status symbol, which is completely a luxury.

Fifteen gold coins is already an absolute profiteering.

Shen Lang said: "In the future, I will provide you with 4,000 sets of porcelain every month, how about you sell them exclusively?"

Hillmei's eyes widened and she trembled: "Then I can abandon all my business and multiply my assets several times in a few years." Even I can't imagine how my family could take on such a huge business. ”

Shen Lang said: "I don't care how much you sell, each set of porcelain is five pieces, and a set of five gold coins is sold to you, how about it?"

Hill said: "Then I will be one of the richest women in the whole South." ”

Shen Lang said: "But I need to advance 250,000 gold coins in advance, do you have it?"

Hill said: "I have a lot of money, because my family has accumulated a wealth of hundreds of years, but the 250,000 gold coins you want are more than half of my existing gold. ”

Shen Lang said: "This requires you to give me huge trust, if I am a liar, then you will lose half of the family's gold." I certainly hope you can believe in my personal charm, but as a business partner of the city, I can invite you to visit my base. ”

"No, I'll promise you first, and give you the money, and then I'll visit your base. Hill said: "My gold is hidden in a very secret place, you give me the address, and I will transport the gold over." ”

Shen Lang said: "A word is a certainty, and the cooperation is pleasant." ”

........................

Seven days later!

Hill's ship appeared on the dock of the Bichao Peninsula and brought 250,000 gold coins.

She didn't board Shen Lang's base, as if this was the trust in him.

But Shen Lang boarded her sea boat and came down for more than an hour.

When he came down, his legs were a little weak.

With him disembarked, there were 250,000 gold coins, a full 100 boxes.

Zhang Chunhua was stunned.

Is the future human emperor so valuable?

Sell your body once, and you can earn so many gold coins?

No wonder you Shen Lang spent so much money, your money came too easily.

But who is the one who spent money to buy Shen Langchunfeng, could it be an old and ugly woman?

A moment later, she saw the woman who had spent a lot of money.

He is a member of the Veda tribe, but he is very beautiful and has a good figure, which makes most Oriental women jealous.

The key is that her gaze at Shen Lang was full of affection, as warm as fire.

A handsome man, once he is shameless, he simply does whatever he wants.

Hill's fleet was gone, leaving behind two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins.

Shen Lang and Zhang Chunhua looked at the mountain of gold coins.

"Shen Lang, you are so shameless that you really went to sell your body. ”

Shen Lang couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, "I didn't sell my body. ”

Zhang Chunhua said: "I don't blame you, you can sell 250,000 gold coins at a time, then it's worth everything, why don't you sell it again?"

Me, my day!

Fairy, if it weren't for the fact that I was really exhausted, I would let you feel what two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins were at a time.

I'll let you bleed once.

..................

Meanwhile!

In the Devil's Triangle, a powerful fleet has appeared.

This is the combined fleet of Tianya Sea Pavilion, Zhutian Pavilion, and Futu Mountain, after half a year of preparation. This adventurous fleet was finally formed, and it was completely modeled after the large ship of the Kim family.

In particular, the lightning protection measures are exactly the same.

Because the ship designed by Shen Lang is difficult to keep secret, although it was designed by Shen Lang, it was built by the Heavenly Dao Society.

For example, today Yahai Pavilion has already obtained complete drawings, and even learned the principle of lightning protection.

The most terrifying thing about entering the Devil's Triangle is lightning strikes, because countless lightning bolts have no pattern at all, and they can't be avoided at all.

Any ship that enters will soon be shattered by lightning.

After obtaining the drawings of the Shenlang mine-protection ship, they transformed five large ships and conducted many experiments, which completely proved that this new type of ship can protect against mines.

Originally, the six transcendent forces had already interrupted their plans to explore the Devil's Triangle.

But now it's different, the Jin family may have entered the Devil's Triangle, and Shen Lang also flew into the Devil's Triangle with that huge ball.

That's right, until now, the people of the entire Great Yan Empire thought that Shen Lang had also entered the Devil's Triangle.

In the end, the scene where the tornado swept him away was too far apart, and it was dark night and the tornado was blocked, so I didn't see the process of Shen Lang's hot air balloon being swept away at all.

"Your Majesty has a will, Jiang Li's son Shen Lang still has his family, he wants to see people in life and corpses in death. ”

"Enter the Devil's Triangle!"

With Princess Ning Han's order, the combined fleet of the three major forces suddenly sailed into the forbidden area of the human race, the Devil's Triangle!

..................

Note: Today's two more are nearly 16,000! Defend the third place in the monthly pass, and you will help!
