Zhang Qi left happily. Because he found something different in his twenty years in business. He can hide his arrogance with humor, but for the first time, he uses his actions to make himself lower.

How to make yourself greater? The answer, of course, is to allow yourself to stand lower and be able to withstand more humiliation.

The gold mine is back in operation. The current output is not large, maybe more than a dozen grams of gold a day, but the Nuggets are very confident that they can reach tens of grams or hundreds of grams a day in the future. If this is the case, it means that two or three kilograms of gold can be produced here in a year, that is, about three kilograms. According to the current standard of 3.5 grams of a gold coin, this is about seven or eight hundred florin gold coins, which is converted into more than 2,000 gold coins of Hyperen. And this is far from the end of this gold mine. When the mining technology improves, the production will be even greater.

It has to be said that gold mining is really a no-brainer. At a time when trade has not improved much and is stagnant due to the war in Constantinople, there is a gold mine that can help with a lot of things.

February had almost passed, and Qin Cang had temporarily dropped what he was doing and concentrated on accompanying the three mothers.

With the constant delivery of cement, lime, and iron products to the court of Bakhchisaray, the connection between Bakhchisaray and Chizhou has become even closer. But it is a long, long mountain road from Bakhchisaray to the cement factory of the Kalayim fortress, and if you go far along the steppe, it is not only easy to get lost, but also through the territory of Mengus, which is unsafe and very remote.

So this incident became something that Hadji Glay was always angry about. Just last month, he wrote a letter to Qin Cang.

"Your father, what a man he can't hold. If you like it, you absolutely want it, and if you don't like it, you can't hide your anger. Alas......" Qin Cang shook his head at Sophia. The letter came with a letter from home. The letter was quite strong and asked Qin Cang to come up with a good solution, otherwise he would be very unhappy.

That's right, Haji Gelley just wrote that I'm upset, and you're going to solve it for me. An old naughty boy's style.

But Qin Cang knew that this was the temper of the grassland people, and he couldn't stop it. Haji Gelley is complaining now, and I'm afraid that he will make trouble again in the future.

"Then you will satisfy him. As long as you satisfy him, he will give you a lot of things. "Sophia knows her dad well. One has the means, but in fact it is still very steppe people's style.

"Well, let me think about it."

Qin Cang's gaze turned to the map. After traveling for so long, Qin Cang has long become a person who is unprofitable and cannot afford to be early. Haji Gelley gave him a chance, so don't blame Qin Cang for having nothing to do.

After looking at it for a long time, Qin Cang found a place.

Sevastopol! That's right, the largest city on the Crimean peninsula, one of the economic centers of the Black Sea, and the home port of Russia's Black Sea Fleet.

Of course, the current Sevastopol is not much developed. The region came under the possession of the Empire of Lopizon after the sacking of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade in 1204. Later, after the Genoese ceded the southern coast, they established a Duchy of Theodosius in the interior, centered on the mountain city of Theodosius, and their second largest city was in Inkerman, at the foot of the mountains east of present-day Sevastopol.

This small city is now called Calamita. Basically about equal to Sevastopol. Because Sevastopol is on the southern side of the bay, and Kalamita is in the deepest part of the bay.

The Duchy of Theodosius, a kingdom established by rich landowners hidden in a ravine, has always been of the type that no one cares about. Genoa looked down on it, and the Crimeans did not want to go over the mountains to the shores of Lake Scholna to rob some poor Greeks or other peoples of the Hellenistic hills.

The city of Theodosius is actually very close to Bakhchisaray, but because Bakhchisaray is a basin, the Crimeans have no way to go south. Unless you are willing to climb high mountains to conquer the mountain city of Theodosius on the other side of the mountain.

Further south of the mountain town of Theodosius, over a small mountain range, is Lake Sholna, the largest lake in the region, from which the Sholna River flows northwest into the Bay of Sevastopol.

This is the condition of this tiny little country, horribly poor.

"You don't want it here, do you?" Qiao Su walked over and touched Qin Cang's forehead, and compared himself and said, "Nunu doesn't feel that you have a fever?" ”

"Backcountry!" Bao Yin said disdainfully.

"There's no need. It's poor and nobody to go here. And across the mountains! Sophia didn't know what Qin Cang was thinking.

"No, you don't know! It's a wonderful place! Sevastopol! A world-class port! The water depth of the port is more than 70 meters! It can be used as a dock without any rectification! And here, and the triangular peninsula to the south of it, is a rare plain, and there is a lot of precipitation. We can propose to your father that we take control of the area, then transport the produce here to unload it, and then head north through the mouth of the mountain into the Bakhchisaray Basin! That's right, that's it! Let Wei Yang and Chen Jia come over! Sophia, write to your dad! We're going to make a lot of money! ”

Qin Cang's excitement was not unreasonable. O Sevastopol, super good port! You can also break through the Sea of Azov and enter the Black Sea hegemony circle! Coupled with the merchant ships that they are constantly adding to their fleet, as well as the large warships, regardless of whether Constantinople has fallen or not, the Genoese do not want to compete with themselves on the northern shore of the Black Sea!

Although the three women didn't understand Qin Cang's thoughts, they were still very happy to be able to let their country break through the Sea of Azov, enter the Black Sea, and establish a new colony.

Wei Yang, after coming here, basically carried out activities in the connecting port. He was in charge of colonial expansion there. According to Zhang Qi, Wei Yang is doing very well. The port of connection has formed a residential area that is largely self-sufficient, guaranteeing food and labor.

And Chen Jia, of course, is the boss of the ship supervisor and the owner of the fleet. So Qin Cang sometimes jokingly called Chen Jia "Admiral".

"Here! Prepare to take this place. Let Chen Hanlin lead the troops to assist! Is Ham Green still around? Later, let him go to Victorious County, no, the Karaim fortress is ready to see what the Genoese are doing. Qin Cang said to Chen Jia, and after saying that, Chen Jia rushed back.

"Wei Qing, I'll give you three thousand! Make sure this is the base from which my great man will control the Black Sea in the future! This will be the military port of the future, a commercial port! Crucial! ”
