The news spread that someone had collected a large amount of charcoal and counted money in front of them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The mine owner was really responsible, and he told the people who had started the mine and some people who might have been involved in the mining.

All of a sudden, people seem to have found a way to make money, and a lot of people poured in for a while.

The captain likes people to take the initiative to send them to the door to serve, which is better than recruiting, and saves a lot of things.

Of course, there can't always be a popular person coming, and the captain of the Feng Zheng has long been prepared for such a person.

This place is special, it is just at the junction of Zhiteng County and Zhiyi Prefecture, and both sides have the power to collect taxes.

In fact, except for the captain of the feudal dispute, all the other coal mine owners have already taken the initiative to go to a certain government office to register and then pay taxes.

The Tatar bandit group actually didn't like the Han people to open mines, they hated the Han people gathering together.

But the local government doesn't allow mining because only when the people are allowed to open the mine can they collect more taxes.

The local governments on both sides of them sent tax inspectors to see if there were any loopholes in tax collection, and I heard that the place was starting to be lively.

The captain of the Feng Zheng originally brought an army of 1,000 people, but he didn't attract the attention of others!

The reason is very simple, no one thinks that they are the army, because they themselves are still doing manual work, and they are digging holes when they have nothing to do!

It is very common for a real army to do this work, at most it is a family member or a slave.

They came just in time, and the captain of the feudal battle asked them all to be arrested, and then each sent two hundred people to collect their states and counties!

Their two states and counties are small places, inconspicuous, and there is no decent city defense at all, which is why the captain of the feudal battle is not in a hurry to occupy it, but preemptively cokes it.

The captain of the feudal battle ordered the two places to be directly under military management, cancel all taxes, and told the people there that if they want to make money, they should come and dig coal!

The public property in the treasury of Zhiteng County and Zhiyi Prefecture first became the materials advanced by the captain of the feudal battle, as a kind of feedback, and of course, they would also get supplies from the Shandong Peninsula later.

When Captain Feng Zheng was busy with these, Captain Zhang Depei's team also came.

He brought a lot of labor, dozens of two-wheeled carriages, and a few supplies, and he almost brought everything in the Yizhou City Treasury.

The captain of the feudal battle frowned and said, "You don't have to give back to the locals? ”

"No old ways. I told them to either go to the Michigan dock to earn money or follow me.

The layout of Yizhou City is too small, you don't look at the poor there------"

You can get rich through labor, but it depends on what kind of system------ with a system like the Tatar bandit group desperately looting people's money, you are tired to death, and you can't compare with the speed of his looting, and you may even attract even greater looting!

What's even more terrible is that they will cause you to have no chance to work, but the mobile social resources will become theirs, and they will all use them to do their own things.

Therefore, Zhang Guoan's methods used by the owners of the island were learned vividly by his half-sized children, you work, I will give you a reward that meets the results of your labor, this kind of disguised feedback, it has produced a beautiful win-win situation.

Maybe the half-sized children didn't think about it that deeply, but they subconsciously agreed with this.

In fact, they can no longer be called half-sized sons now, and have become more outstanding young people in this time and space------ but they still affectionately call them Zhang Guoan, my half-sized sons.

The captain of the Feng Zheng said: "It will take at least half a year to build the Mizhou wharf, and now winter is coming soon, and this winter will be difficult!" ”

Their task is indeed heavy, they have to build brick kilns, repair roads, and most importantly, expand the amount of mining------ their way of digging holes in coal is not enough to meet the demand.

The island is now like a giant beast, devouring all kinds of energy, and always can't get enough to eat.

Captain Zhang Depei suddenly made a gesture at Captain Feng Zheng, meaning that he wanted to rest assured, and he had his own Island Master Zhang to worry about!

Captain Feng Zheng couldn't help but smile, this was a gesture between their friends, even the owner of Zhang Island didn't know, and he couldn't forget it for many years.

In the winter of 1273, Xiao Er and Wang Zheng's fleet, a total of five large ships, finally arrived on the west coast of Madagascar.

The two of them were grateful to the returning merchant who had accompanied them, even though he didn't know where the island of Madagascar was.

It was another man who gave them a guide at sea, a small merchant from Cairo.

The merchant said, "Since the lord of Zhang Island asked me to take you to build a golden sea route, it is impossible for me to stay in Cairo and make a fortune by myself, and let you go to unpredictable places."

That's a touching statement.

Wang Zheng gestured casually to express his appreciation for the words of the returning businessman.

Xiao Er looked at it and understood that Wang Zheng was saying that this person wanted to find a way to make a fortune with us!

Xiao Er also gestured inadvertently, meaning to go with him.

It's winter in the Northern Hemisphere at this time, and summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

Wang Zheng and Xiao Er had heard Zhang Guoan's island master say in advance that the season here was just the opposite of Liuqiu, and they didn't know what the reason was.

The two of them looked up together, and sure enough, between the bulging sails, the sun seemed to be hanging overhead!

Our island owner doesn't have to go out to know what the world is going on!

At first, they decided to land directly, because the small Egyptian merchant had said that there was no dock at all, and they had to be transported by boat.

So they chose the first estuary they came across, wanting to get as close to the beautiful coastline as possible.

The color of the beach here is different from the black and gray of the river that flows through the river, and it has a golden glow, which reflects the calm and tranquil feeling of the tall jungle on the shore.

But the small Egyptian merchant said it was better not to go ashore here, because the river didn't seem to be wide enough or deep enough.

Well, head south, and there will be big rivers!

During this period, Wang Zheng and Xiao Er have been observing the beach, but they have found no traces of human activity.

The little Egyptian merchant had said that he had been there several times, and he had sworn that only the western coast was suitable for landing, and that the eastern part was basically high sea cliffs.

He had never figured out how many people there were on this big island, he had come into contact with at least five tribes, three different kinds of people!

They also let the second estuary pass, and they chose to trust the guide completely.

Sure enough, the third estuary was much wider, and after measuring the water, their big ships could sail into it!

Finally saw people------ they saw a few black people at the mouth of a river, rowing a few hollowed-out tree trunks? Tying a fish with a wooden pole?

Wang Zheng and Xiao Er put down the monoculars together, rubbed their eyes, and looked again.

See clearly, it's a trunk canoe, it's really a fish!

The trunk canoe had a pole on it, and there were a lot of big fish hanging from it.

The Egyptian merchant shook his head and said, "They have no oxen or big birds, they only eat fish and fruits, and further up they are the steppes, and they will meet lighter-skinned people, called the Vizos, and the steppes are full of cattle ------."

Wang Zheng and Xiao Er didn't seem to be afraid when they saw the few black people rowing the trunk-type canoe, but excitedly pointed to their sailboats and said something to each other!

After a while, they all rowed towards themselves, and the speed was quite fast!

There was no crew to fear, there were only five of them in all, and there were no weapons.

Everyone lay on the side of the boat, smiling and waiting for the black men to row over. (To be continued.) )
