Chapter 462: Did It Hear? (280 votes)
"You're going to scare me to death! With such a big man, why don't you walk silently! And food and weapons? You are your uncle and I and pull food, right? No, love expedition is not far away, it deserves it! Luo Youde looked at Swan's face covered with pimples, how annoying he was. This guy knows all day long that he wants food and equipment, and then he doesn't care about anything, he doesn't show up for ten days and half a month, and when he shows up, it's still like this.
"That's what you said, don't let me find it without black oil, I can't go hungry to grab it!" Swann was scolded, but he was not in a hurry, and took out a small glass bottle from his pocket with a hippie smile.
"Alas, this kindness is too, steelmaking is steelmaking, why don't you use black oil to practice, what's so good about this thing!" Seeing what Swan was holding in his hand, Luo Youde's expression immediately softened. Everything is good here, the land is fertile, there are mountains, rivers and seas, there are endless trees, endless prey, endless gold and silver, you don't have to worry about eating, drinking and Lazar, but you can't find the oil that Hong Tao said.
Since the departure of Hong Tao, Luo Youde has been committed to finding a place to produce oil in the past few years, and Swann has not been idle, every time he annexes a new village, the first thing he does is to take the oil specimen and ask those captives who has seen it. Whoever can find this divine oil can go directly to the kingdom of God to live a good life, without being a soldier or mining. It's a pity that after three years, there is still no trace of oil, and no one here has ever seen this stinky black oil.
"You don't understand this, it's called science! Kindness said that black oil must be used to make good steel for muskets, and if it is made of coal, it must be heated and forged thousands of times, and a pound of iron cannot make two taels of good steel, even if there is a big hammer driven by a waterwheel, it will not be able to make much. Moreover, this black oil can not only be used for steelmaking, but Bush also shouts all day long to get it, without it, your heavenly fire that pretends to be a ghost will not be able to burn! Swan continued to dangle the small bottle of oil in front of Luo Youde, he really didn't feel that oil would be so useful when he was in Jinhe Country before, anyway, if he wanted to cast a cannon with copper and if he wanted to build a weapon with steel, there was no shortage of anything.
After everything started from scratch here, I realized how solid the foundation Hong Tao had laid back then, and almost all the useful resources were occupied. Compared to this oracle, everyone is indeed mortal, there is no oil, and they can only watch the well-built open hearth become a rat's nest.
Others didn't care if they were in a hurry, he was very anxious, because he had five muskets left by Hong Tao in his hand, which were still rifled. After several years of use, he has fallen in love with these muskets, and has always wanted to have more of them in his army. But there wasn't enough good steel on the Kindness side to make these guns, so I managed to make a little one, and then I didn't have to make two.
Hong Tao didn't say anything when he left to make muskets in large quantities to equip the troops, so Cixiang wouldn't have to spare too much energy to meet the needs of the army with good hand-forged steel, and he had more to do. For example, the production of agricultural tools and daily necessities is the main trade product of God's kingdom's outward expansion, and it cannot be delayed. The rest of the time had to be spent casting copper and iron fittings for the shipyard and mining tools for the mines, leaving no time to devote to Swan. Besides, Swan's army could win a battle without muskets, and muskets were even less in a hurry.
"Go, don't wait for tomorrow, let's go now, I'll give as much food as you want!" Luo Youde is also anxious, Hong Tao has been gone for more than three years, and the development speed of the tribe is not slow, but the development is very uneven. The shipbuilding industry was able to make do with agriculture and whaling, but the two most important industries, smelting and chemicals, were stagnant due to a lack of raw materials. Since he has already abandoned his family and business and come here, Luo Youde regards this place as a part of his family, which is an inheritance that will be left to his children and grandchildren in the future, even if it is not as good as Jinheguo, he is not happy.
"If the whaling ship comes back, will I have to wait until now? I've asked, I'll have to come back tonight at the earliest, and it's still a question of whether I'll be able to leave tomorrow, so you can't let me go in a canoe, right? Swan pursed his lips, disdainful of Luo Youde's practice of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles.
"You say that this charity is too, so you can't build a few more ships? Tomorrow is tomorrow, don't waste much time this time, I'll come back as soon as I find it, I'll have all the barrels ready, just waiting for your good news. Alas! You said that your Emperor Hong thinks about it like this, he doesn't even want his own son, and he doesn't know how to come back and see after three years of leaving! "Swan's problem Luo Youde can't solve it, it's not that the charity shipyard doesn't want to build big ships, but there are too few skilled craftsmen, and they have been practicing with whaling ships. The construction of the first Salmon-class armed cargo ship began only a few months ago, and all the manpower was occupied.
"Hey, hey, Your Majesty had better not come, he has to reprimand me for killing too many people all day long. Now I have so much freedom, I can fight whoever I want, where there is so much attention. Si Wan grinned when he heard Hong Tao's name, he was like a child who was used to playing like crazy, and he didn't want to go when he heard that school was restricted.
"I said your mind is empty! What's the use of it? If Your Majesty doesn't come, who will make steel for you? Who gives the production of guns? You can't even get a fucking bullet, so you're embarrassed to say it! Last year, who complained to me, saying that if each person could be given a pistol that His Majesty carried, then many fewer people would die in another war. I don't count on him, I count on you? Sharpen some wooden guns for you, and you can take them to war! Luo Youde scolded Hong Tao because he was in a hurry to wait for Hong Tao to deal with the problem, and he couldn't pee in the same pot as Swan's little Jiujiu.
“…… That's right, Your Majesty will stay for a few months when he comes, and then he has to leave. Let him make the steel, and he will be able to make guns, and if all my soldiers have muskets, and enough horses to ride, I will be able to reach the capital of the Trotskys in a month!" Hey, hey, hey...... Uncle Luo, you are still cunning, yes, yes, Your Majesty, come quickly! Swan asked Luo Youde to scold him like this, and suddenly figured it out, feeling that Hong Tao was still more beneficial than not coming.
"Dangdangdang...... As ......soon as Swan's words fell, a hurried bell rang from the watchtower in the east.
"Go quickly, how can anyone dare to attack us? Who is so bold! This is an alarm bell, indicating that the lookout post has discovered the enemy's situation, Luo Youde stabbed Swan, who was stunned with his face up, and urged him to quickly assemble the team to meet the battle.
"Uncle Luo, you said that Your Majesty wouldn't really be an immortal, right?" Swan didn't move, but asked Luo Youde a question without a head, and his eyes looked at the mouse head made of pure gold on the top of the pyramid, how to look at it, how to think that the mouse was smiling at himself, not a normal smile, but Hong Tao's bad smile.
