081 Studying is very tiring
The emir's boat was not able to pull away too much of the goods, in fact, what Zhao Xiang prepared for him was a large pile of modern industrialized porcelain, which was definitely not a treasure, but compared with the porcelain in the maritime Silk Road trade in this era, it was already a first-class cargo.
Then there are mirrors and cotton and silk.
These things filled two containers - the warehouse of the board house where the tractors were used to be sold on the wasteland.
Eating these two containers of goods in one go was a little difficult for the emir. Seeing these goods, his beard was almost about to explode, but he only had one sea ship, or a 400-stone sea ship eight zhang long, according to Zhao Xiang's algorithm, it was loaded with thirty tons of goods, and these thirty tons also included ballast goods, if there was nothing to ballast the bottom of the ballast, he could only take stones, which had to be deducted several tons.
The emir was very melancholy, the sea trade was hugely profitable, but the time cost was also huge, and he didn't know if the goods would be waiting for him here when he came back in a year, so he hoped to be able to pull them all away at once.
Regarding his confusion, Zhao Xiang spread his hands and could only say that he couldn't help. Of course, the modern side can get an ocean-going giant ship of 10,000 tons, not to mention 10,000 tons, it is 5,000 tons, and it can sweep the world in this era. The key is that those have to be operated and maintained by the appropriate sailors and technicians. Can Zhao Xiang buy a boat? OK! After all, the modern Chinese shipbuilding industry has overcapacity, and it is not difficult to buy a ship, but what about operation and maintenance? The ancients didn't know anything, so could they learn all of them and then train them one by one?
Not to mention ships, tractors, which are very basic modern industrial products, Zhao Xiang can't promote, not to mention maintenance, spare parts supply, the supply of diesel fuel alone will make him tired like a dog.
Learning is a very tiring thing, especially those things that need professionals to do in modern times, Zhao Xiang wants to move to ancient times, and he has to learn all of them by himself and then change teachings, which is even more tiring. Some time ago, when the elevator was built, after Xiaozhishan finished measuring, he had to go to Hyundai to find the elevator company to design, and then he had to learn to install it from beginning to end, and finally when he actually installed it, it was so cumbersome that he almost gave up. When it comes to the commissioning stage, it is even worse, if there is a small mistake, you have to go to Hyundai to find the engineer of the elevator company to ask, and then run back to try.
The engineers wondered: why didn't they let us go? More than 20 million high-end goods, you as an amateur want to eat it yourself, what kind of jokes.
Zhao Xiang just wanted to say, tired!
"You can buy another sea boat." Zhao Xiang proposed.
"Buy? Zhao Xiang, do you know how long it takes to build a 400-stone sea ship like mine? One year! A whole year! Originally, I wanted to have a shipyard in Nanjing, and sell the green jade for a sea ship......" Speaking of which, the emir stopped, the stone had been sold to Zhao Xiang, and the shopkeeper of the jewelry store had also identified it as a fake jade.
"Can the shipyard buy ready-made sea vessels?"
"Quanzhou can't help it, the establishment of the City Shipping Division, which has been called the largest port in the East together with Guangzhou, and the construction of sea ships has been scheduled for three years, Nanjing may be able to, it depends on luck."
"Can't you find a fleet to partner with a ship?"
The emir shook his head: "There are too few people in a boat, and they have no ability to protect themselves. Follow the fleet, and before you can get halfway, you will all go into the sea to feed the fish. ”
Zhao Xiang couldn't help asking: "Your maritime business circle is so dark?" Don't even have someone you can trust? ”
The emir sighed: "Yes, but I owe him money. ”
Emir had a cousin, the owner of the fleet with whom he had partnered, and after arriving in port, he led someone to loot his cousin after settling the accounts, and according to Emile, he still owed him twenty taels of golden sands, and he could not return to his hometown with him if he did not pay this money.
Zhao Xiang doesn't have this thing in Jinsha, after all, modern gold is too expensive, but Zhao Xiang has this thing in silver! And it is also a high-quality pure silver grain, a full ten kilograms in front of the emir, the silver light flashed so that the emir tears rained down, and he went directly to the ground to lie down is a five-body bow.
With money and goods, the bearded emir is in high spirits again. Zhao Xiang admires such a person very much, he has reached a desperate situation but is still full of fighting spirit, even if such a person does not have a great success in the end, he will not have a bad life.
The sea ship left Zhangzhou, and Zhao Xiang did not go to see him off, only hoping that this big cannibal would not make his first investment in the Southern Song Dynasty into a pit. If it weren't for Li Yuanguang's last mention of it, it would not have been the turn of the emir to do such a good thing, after all, maritime trade takes a long time and is risky. Zhao Xiang casually took out the goods in hand, which could be digested on the spot, and there was no need to transport them thousands of miles away to cheapen those foreigners.
can Li Yuanguang, the fat man hasn't appeared again for a few months, so he guess he was just joking.
Damn*, in this era when communication is basically based on roaring, people say that it will disappear, and the black fat man will disappear, anyway, he has no friendship with him, but the old Taoist priest of Chunyang has disappeared, and even Wangcai has disappeared!
Zhao Xiang returned to the top of the mountain and saw Zhang Wen holding the broken sword repaired with wood in front of Li Qijin and Li Laoliu, so he was angry and shouted: "You three have nothing to do and go down to dig the river!" ”
Zhang Wen complained: "Sir, there is no shortage of water now, the river has been cleared last time, there is no need to clear it again, right?" ”
Zhao Xiang said: "Did I say the requirements of the moat, you can talk about it." ”
"The outer ring river should be dug to six zhang wide and one zhang deep, and the inner ring river should be dug to three zhang wide and one zhang deep......"
The three teenagers went down the mountain, and not long after, the roar of an excavator sounded at the bottom of the mountain.
Since the villagers of Wutian began to build new homes for themselves, the large machinery has hardly been used anymore, after all, things like leveling the land and laying the foundation can be done by manpower.
The final fixed height of the stone wall at the top of the mountain is one zhang wide and three zhang high, that is, ten meters high and more than three meters thick. This is also a forced and helpless approach - the stone cave project is carried out, and more and more stones are mined below, and there is no place to pile them up but to build them on the wall - so high-quality stones can't be thrown directly down the mountain, and they will be ruined.
After the stone walls were built, the stones were still being pulled out, so Zhao Xiang had to place them on the hill behind the building. As a result, the backlog lasted for a while, and the hill was a lot higher than the stone wall, but it was bare and ugly. The entire top of the mountain has only been completed, and all the details are meticulous work, if you really want to do it well, it is estimated that it will not be possible in a few years, so Zhao Xiang can only do it little by little, which is also a way to pass the time.
As soon as Zhao Xiang went up to the wall and blew the wind for a while, Zhao Di ran over: "Sir, sir, the old Taoist is back, and he brought two people with him......"
"Shouldn't you bring a dog, at most Wangcai hooked up with a little outside, that's also two dogs, how can it be two people?" Zhao Xiang asked.
"No kidding, sir! I really brought two people, and one of them looked like my sister! Because of the excitement, Zhao Di's face was already flushed.
