Captain Guo Beyu immediately ordered people to survey the temporary residence by the river, and sent a reconnaissance team to observe everywhere. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The last news he received was that there were no people within a radius of 100 kilometers.

They looked out to sea from the coast, and even passing merchant ships were extremely rare, and even if they did, they were far from here, after all, as the number of islands increased, so did the number of reefs near the shore.

For fear of running aground, experienced captains will stay away from such places.

Captain Guo Beyu began to organize a group of people to build a slab house, which they had experience, and those Tan people were arranged to excavate the working face of the coal.

The owner of Zhang Guoan gave them explosives, but Captain Guo Beyu thought that they could not use it now, and a thin layer of soil could be stripped off by manpower.

He set up a bamboo tower-style sentinel on a hill in the distance, and he could detect changes in the situation within a 10-kilometer range.

The supplies they brought with them worked, and soon a temporary residence was established, so that everyone did not have to stay on the ship, and everyone was more spacious.

There is no suitable dock here, so you can only use small boats to shuttle back and forth.

Their most practical solution was to build a long, simple wooden trestle, even if it was not strong, and it would be repaired if it was damaged by the wind and waves.

In this way, they are divided into several work project groups, which is exactly like mimicking their entrepreneurial process in the Badaohe area.

The Ryukyu prince and his guards also participated in the labor, because they saw that everyone except the sentries was hands-on, and there were no bystanders in the work place.

Therefore, he and his guards also used small boats to help carry all kinds of supplies.

He said to the guards: "This is the secret of their construction of the Badaohe region from scratch, I have gained too much this time, and there is no such thing in the world that can be achieved overnight." ”

The guard said, "Your Royal Highness, you don't have to do it yourself, we can deal with it......"

"If it's not hands-on. If I could know the hardships of their construction, it would be a rare experience. ”

In the following days, they rushed to dig out a few boats of charcoal and asked the Zhancheng maritime merchant to bring it back first, which was a surprise for the Zhang family.

After waiting for the several merchant ships that came with them to unload their goods and load them with coal, they rushed to set off.

When he returned to the Badaohe area. They found themselves still not as fast as the people on Jeju Island...... The harvest is not as great as others.

Jeju Island sent hundreds of stone of copper, dozens of large animals, and if you add the family that Yao Mai recruited from Huangdao, the population here, especially the difference in the proportion of women, has been narrowed even more.

All that Halong Bay brought back was coal.

But Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, is equally happy, although there are only a few hundred tons of coal, but he can see that this will become a new type of coal-iron composite base.

There are some costs associated with sea freight, however. Far more money and time savings than land transportation.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, discussed with Zhang Laoshi, and both of them found that the current ship type is not suitable for large-scale transportation of bulk cargo, for example, Zhang Guoan also has to transport high-purity quartz sand from the west of Liuqiu Island.

Many places in the western part of the island have purer quartz sand or purer quartz sandstone from the strata, which are good raw materials for making glass; On the eastern shore of Liuqiu Island, many natural white quartz pebbles can often be seen, most of which come from quartz veins in metamorphic rocks, but they need to be crushed, which increases the cost.

So. Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, can only find a way to mine and transport natural quartz sand from the west coast.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "You see that the old lock ship is obviously better than the sea ship with a watertight compartment can load cargo, so it is not as good as this." If it is to transport a large number of bulk goods, it is better to go to it, and the construction time and cost saved will be destroyed even if it is broken...... As long as the personnel safety is done, those bulk goods are not needed, and then spend some effort to dig. ”

Director Zhang Laoshi put his palm on his forehead and said, "What's the matter...... If the sailors were to have safety suits, everybody would have them. I'm really not afraid of the ship's sinking...... Charcoal and sand are not worth much. ”

Therefore, they hurried to process this type of ship that does not have a watertight cabin, but has a large space and depth, which is specially used to transport bulk cargo.

Its advantages and disadvantages are equally prominent...... Sometimes sailing is also a matter of luck.

Zhang Guoan's two-move move came into play. In December 1266, they were able to maintain trade relations with the Great Song Dynasty, but also opened trade with Goryeo and Japan, and also established their own energy base.

Of course, how long it lasts, that's another matter.

At this time, the sea ship they went to Tianzhu came back!

Almost a full year, the first ocean-going merchant ships returned.

The second captain and vice captain Wang Zheng have lost weight and their skin is dark, but they are tall, as if the sea is a place where people can take the initiative to mature.

The two of them, the second captain, plus the old captain Cai Erlang, happily handed over their shipping manifests and said, "Master Zhang's family, I have made a lot of money on this trip...... Look at the manifest. ”

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, casually put the bill on the table and carefully asked about the situation of the personnel.

The captain of the second team reported a little gloomy: "Several team members suffered from fever in Tianzhu, and two of them did not survive...... One of them was seriously wounded on board, and the others were fine, and even after a few encounters with pirates, no one was injured......"

"Fever? Tell me about the situation......

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, immediately asked about the illness, which was a serious illness that caused the loss of two team members with ocean experience.

Captain Cai Erlang said seriously: "When I waited, I was just in time for this epidemic to spread in Tianzhu, and by the time I wanted to withdraw from that place, it was already too late......"

He talked about the symptoms.

The sick crew members and sailors suddenly developed high fever, sweating, liver and spleen enlargement, and severe pain in the joints.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, suddenly remembered that this damn egg is the "cloth disease" caused by brucellosis!

He said bitterly, "You have touched those livestock......

Captain Cai Erlang said: "Exactly, when I found that the buffaloes were unhappy, I pushed them down into the sea, and asked everyone to wash their hands and feet with soap and scrub the wood vinegar in the place where the buffaloes were kept...... Anyway, the buffalo there is so cheap that you can replace one with two needles......"

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said in surprise: "That's enough?!" And then what?! ”

"I waited and went elsewhere to find out if there was any disease there...... In the end, it was decided to pick a few calves that were very happy and had very white eyes and brought them back.

If I hadn't said it earlier, I wouldn't have noticed that the buffaloes there are tall and produce a lot of milk......"

Zhang Guoan's island lord couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and said, "You really healed yourself on the way back?!" ”

"yes...... However, the two members of the team who were unconscious did not make it through, and for the next few months, nothing happened......"

Well, what a blessing...... (To be continued.) )
