Wang Defa's family settled the first settlers on Belitung Island, and according to the information they bringed, it is estimated that this island will be able to produce cassiterite for 500 years!

In fact, this means that Belitung Island will be the territory of Liuqiu Island. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He left a total of 20 plank houses for the laborers who settled here, as well as the corresponding living materials and labor tools, and let them plant flags with the two big characters of Liuqiu.

In front of their house was a flagpole five feet high, and the Liuqiu banner fluttered on it.

This Liuqiu flag has been to many ports and wharves in the maritime trade, and it is believed that passing merchant ships may be able to recognize this as the symbol of Liuqiu Island.

He left eleven natives and corresponding armaments here, who were to be responsible for the security and defense of the place.

In the end, Wang Defa's family left a total of more than 200 people here, most of whom were black and white slaves he bought.

Their job is simple: to mine cassiterite and transport it to the banks of the Xi River to pile up.

The Tin River is the widest and deepest river on Belitung Island, but it is only 30 meters wide and about 2 meters deep on average.

It is impossible for Anjiang-class ships to enter the inland, and they can only transfer ore by mooring ships.

When Wang Defa's family left Belitung Island, they took with them more than 600 tons of cassiterite.

He estimated that the cassiterite of this batch of Belitung Island contains at least 60% tin, which is the most common tin mineral here.

They have a high hardness and a large specific gravity, so the volume of those 600 tons of ore is really not large.

Cassiterite has strong resistance to chemical weathering, so it is often rich in placer ore, also known as sand tin, so it is also easy to mine, and engineering explosives are not used at all.

Cassiterite comes in a wide range of colors, from bright off-white and dark brown to yellow and black.

They also have a diamond or adamantine luster, which can be less transparent or more transparent------ and if you pick it well, you can also pick out gem-quality cassiterite.

Pure cassiterite is colorless and transparent, but can take on different shades of brown or brown depending on the mixture.

If you could pick out a cassiterite crystal with beautiful color and transparency, it would be a rare gemstone with a high refractive index that can be faceted to give off a diamond-like fire.

It would be a pity if it was only smelted into tin, it would be better to make expensive jewelry and sell it to the Great Song Dynasty or overseas big merchants, who had money and money were particularly fond of stones, which could just recover more money.

When Wang Defa's family returned to the Wenlai estuary with the fleet, it was just in time for the Liuqiu Qian Bank to establish branches in Boniguo, which was the eighteenth branch of Yazhou, Halong Bay, and Champong in addition to the 14 branches of Liuqiu Qian Bank in Jeju Island, Shandong Peninsula, Ryukyu Kingdom, Jiankang, Yangzhou, Mingzhou, Lin'an, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, and Ezhou and Xiangyang in the interior.

Wang Defa's family was happy when they saw the president and vice president of the Bo Ni branch, because he didn't expect that two girls would come together!

President Shen Qianqian said indifferently: "It was Gu Jianshan who begged Zhang Island Master to let me come, he doesn't have the right talent in his hands------ I have seen this money bank, it's a very simple job!" ”

Vice President Nana smiled and said, "Wherever Sister Qianqian goes, I will go!" ”

Well, Wang Defa's family thought about it, and felt that it didn't matter if the woman was in charge, it was normal for a single woman to travel thousands of miles alone to do business in this time and space.

Their branch is located directly in the Bo Ni Merchant Station, where it is very safe.

After all, now Boni Country is where merchants gather, and the wharf here is a prosperous place.

Wang Defa's family can see that sooner or later, this money-seeking company will go all the way to Europe with the so-called golden sea route!

He deliberately pretended to be serious and said: "You two only care about one money, it's too wasteful, and you have to divide your energy to worry about the affairs of Wenlai Estuary!" ”

Shen Qianqian pouted and said, "More work, more reward!" Then you're going to add more money to me and Nana!! ”

Vice President Nana immediately nodded in agreement.

"Little girl, what do you want so much money for? Don't be in such a hurry to save for a dowry! ”

President Shen Qianqian shook his head and said: "The quiet master has said, this is not a matter of money, women can only have real freedom when they are financially independent!" ”

Of course, Wang Defa's family could only agree to their conditions.

In this way, he handed over the job to the two of them to manage before leaving, and then he was busy contacting other Great Song merchants in Boni.

He hoped that before he left, he could communicate more with other businessmen, and everyone would unite to fight against the Great Song Dynasty government's dumping business from time to time, so as to avoid damaging everyone's interests.

Don't look at the many magical commodities on Liuqiu Island, but in terms of the output of ordinary commodities, it is far from being comparable to the Great Song Dynasty.

The chickens and the gnawing dogs were so happy, they never thought that Nana would come here!

They began to circle around Nana together, like two puppies wagging their tails out of a pattern------ and this one went to pick a bunch of beautiful wild flowers and put them in a bamboo tube and gave them to her; After a while, the one went and found the sweet wild fruit, washed it, and gave it to her; Even two guys picked and picked in the cassiterite ore pile, picking out the most beautiful cassiterite to give to her!

Chicken rice and gnawing dog obviously have no experience in chasing women, in front of two girls, only good to one girl, that is a great insult to the other girl!

Especially this girl thinks she is a better girl!

These two guys have never received a good look from President Shen Qianqian, and they have been assigned many unexpected jobs.

For example, if you manage the transplanting of wild fruit trees, you will have your own orchard in the future, and the reason is that if you can find such beautiful wildflowers in the wild, then you will definitely be able to find more fruit trees------

For example, if you go and pick all the 600 tons of cassiterite ore, what is the use of picking out gem-grade cassiterite, there are also reasons, you are really suitable for selection------

The point is that the two guys haven't woken up yet, and they're still like that!

Nana didn't know what to do.

She didn't know who to choose among them, the two of them were similar in all aspects, but Jimi was originally optimistic because he talked a lot and was more fluent.

But Sister Qianqian said that a boy who can talk too much must be attentive!

Okay, then the gnawing dog that talks less and speaks slowly is immediately favored.

But Sister Qianqian said again, the boys who don't like to talk are full of bad intentions in their stomachs!

So what to do!

Nana was about to cry in front of Qianqian.

Shen Qianqian pretended to be a love veteran and said: "The quiet master said that girls should be reserved, you have to test them well!" ”

Vice President Nana immediately nodded in approval and said, "Okay, okay, to test!" ”

Of course, none of the four of them affected their normal work, but their spare time began to become full and ------ miserable.

In fact, none of the four people can be happy in their hearts.

Wang Defa's family really didn't notice the change in the mentality of the four of them, on the one hand, he didn't have much experience in this area, and on the other hand, he was now twisting the Great Song merchants stationed here into a rope, and the communication work was very effective.

However, something that no one expected happened again. (To be continued.) )
