Chapter 343: A Tricky Woman 2
Mobile reading
Guo Hao's idea is actually very simple, since you have decided to come over and be a little wife here, no problem, you will send them to Dongfang Port, what is lacking there is a woman, there are more than 200 women here, as long as they are sent over, in the Dongfang Port of tens of thousands of men, the waves will not stir up a little, the only tricky thing is that they have to learn cultural knowledge from scratch.
For the Senate, the large number of these women is tantamount to injecting a shot in the arm, making the singles of the Oriental Port like a long drought and a rain, although the number is far less than the demand, but it effectively demonstrates to the singles of the Oriental Port the determination and practical deeds of the Senate to solve the problem of their singleness. Although the counterinsurgency operation in the north was officially said to be in accordance with the invitation of the Emperor Wu Dynasty, almost all the naturalized people got the news in private, and they all knew that this time they were actually going to the north to fish people from the Central Plains - especially to find women to match the wives of the singles and naturalized people, although this statement was criticized as discriminating against women and treating women as men's appendages under the scornful attitude of the female elders, but they had no way to refute this theory, because this was indeed the truth.
These women are from many nearby islands, and they know how to sail a boat, and at the same time, because of their low status, they can only do housework and serve people in the past, so they don't need to worry about seasickness during sea shipping at first, and they can also be more extensive in their work arrangements, and it is more suitable to devote themselves to work as a new workforce after arriving at Dongfang Port.
This group of women immediately quieted down, in fact, they didn't think of going so far away from the island, they thought that they were just going to the sea for a spin and could often come back here, when they heard Guo Hao and a few elders tell them about the policy of the Senate and the naturalization conditions of naturalized people, their faces began to be a little wrong.
"Are you planning to sell us as slaves somewhere else?" One woman shouted loudly, and many of the women next to her nodded their heads in appreciation. Of course, Guo Hao didn't understand, and after waiting for the translator to translate the words, he hurriedly shook his hand and said loudly, "No! We, the Senate, never traded slaves, we are a strong and democratic country, and we have the same freedom for naturalized people, ordinary people, even us senators, and we will not use slavery to force labor! ”
The translation was difficult, let alone the translation, this sentence could not be found in their native language at all, and even he could not understand the meaning of it at all, so he opened his mouth wide for a long time and did not say a word. Seeing the translator's expression, the women below were even more uneasy, some turned their heads and left, some people were there shouting something they didn't understand, and more people just stood there waiting for the interpreter to speak.
Guo Hao didn't know what was going on, so he lowered his head and asked the translator next to him, who hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, it's not that the small ones don't want to translate, it's just that there are many words in this sentence that the small ones don't understand." ”
This time it was Guo Hao's turn to make a mistake, looking at the man before, the man looked at him and smiled weirdly, which made his heart twitch, and he was about to ask a question, but saw the man come over and say, "You want to take these women away, right?" ”
Guo Hao shook his head, but after thinking about it and nodded, the man asked again, "How much are you willing to pay?" ”
"How much do you want?" Hong Jie next to him knew that if the price was offered by his own side, the initiative would be in the hands of the other party, so he hurriedly interjected, the man glanced at Hong Jie in a blue military uniform, and his heart suddenly swelled up with the senate soldiers standing on the city wall under the city wall of Zhancheng Port, and a sense of fear welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but take a step back, and said with a smile on his face, "It's easy to say, these women were originally slave girls in our place, and now they are sent here, and they were originally meant to be sold. Only a few have been dismissed as slaves by their masters, and if you really want to, I'll be the master and exchange some food and cloth and tools. ”
Guo Hao couldn't help but be stunned, and almost blurted out, what? These are almost 200 women, and they are all over in exchange for some food and cloth tools? Isn't that too unequal? Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "Then how to change it, how many people to change?" ”
The enemy of the land is the only one by the cold secret
"Well, your house-sized grain, four hundred pieces of cloth, and ......," said the man, pointing to the temporary containers in the distance that had been used to carry the Foreign Legionnaires, "two hundred sets of iron tools, and it would be better if they could be replaced with knives, and the number could be reduced by half." ”
"Huh?" "It's so cheap...... "Is this okay?" Guo Hao, Hong Jie and Zhan Jie spoke out almost at the same time, which made the man feel a burst of regret. You must know that according to the plan they had discussed before they went to sea, if the other party used it as a temporary tool to vent their desires, then five pounds of food each time, and at the same time they had to pack the woman's food for a day; If the other party is willing to pack the women and take them away, then each woman counts a hundred pounds of grain plus a piece of cloth and an iron tool. The reason why he shouted out that price just now was originally to open his mouth as a lion, shout the price up first, and wait for the other party to lower the price layer by layer to reserve space. You must know that the rectangular iron house can hold at least more than 40,000 pounds of grain, and the grain alone is far beyond the expectation of the overall value. Who knew that the other party was so honest and honest, and he was such a tyrant, and someone shouted such a cheap word, could it be that his price was lower? He hurriedly added, "And ......" He quickly found that the people in front of him didn't regard his words as too much trouble at all, and didn't pay attention to this side at all, but instead laughed together and talked. He didn't know the bottom of his own heart, he looked around left and right, and several native men hurriedly came over and muttered something, and finally made a decision, the man settled down, and said with a long breath, "We hope to establish a trading point here for a long time, and you can often come here to do business." ”
Sun Dike was reluctant to learn after Sun Cha received the moon secret
"No problem!" Hong Jie hurriedly won the battle, suffocating Guo Hao so much that he almost didn't have his back on his back, he hurriedly pulled Hong Jie to the side and said, "Are you stupid?" How many things can be exchanged in this poor country? What are you going to change for when you come here? You don't have to change wood for coconut, do you? ”
"Of course not," said Zhan Jie next to him, "I did see some good things!" You see. As he spoke, Zhan Jie said to the man, "You go and call that woman up, I'm going to check it." ”
The man was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled the woman Zhan Jie pointed at. This woman is no more than one meter five tall, her skin has become a bronzer because of being exposed to the sun for a long time, her hair is a tawny formed by malnutrition, her eyes are large, double eyelids, awl face, she is wearing a garland on her head at the moment, and the dress made of straw all over her body is more suitable, but probably because long-term nutrition cannot keep up, so the chest is relatively flat, but the waist is very thin, and the legs are not thick, which is quite in line with the aesthetics of the patriarchs.
Of course, Zhan Jie didn't plan to choose a woman to have sex with him right away, he walked up to this woman and carefully looked at her chest, this "presumptuous" action made Guo Hao's eyes widen next to him, "I'll go!" Zhan Jie, if you take a fancy to her, take her on the boat, I have to help you pull Hong Jie and prevent him from going in to watch the live broadcast. ”
"Look what you're thinking about here! Dirty! Zhan Jie glanced at Guo Hao and said, "I don't really want this chestless and buttless, I'm looking at this." ”
As he spoke, Zhan Jie stretched out his hand to the woman's chest, and suddenly Guo Hao's eyes widened again, "You still said that you will do it if you hit your chest!" ”
However, Zhan Jie didn't touch the woman, but only took off a small string of rope from her neck, and then several elders noticed that there was a small string of stones hanging around the woman's neck, these stones were of different shapes, colorful, and looked quite interesting, but after being nurtured by various luxury diamond and precious metal necklaces in the old world, these small stones could not enter their eyes at all.
"There are many different mineral deposits of these stones, you see, these green peacock patterns are copper ore, this is saltpeter ore......" Zhan Jie's words immediately resonated with Hong Jie, "Sister! There are saltpeter mines! ”
Indeed, the manufacture of propellants in the Senate is basically based on carbon, saltpeter and sulfur, and carbon can be obtained through the processing of wood from trees, although there are no mineral deposits nearby, but there are special circulation channels in Guangxi that allow them to smuggle and obtain, although the quantity is not large, but ordinary training is still sufficient. But saltpeter is a troublesome thing, there are no saltpeter mines in several provinces near Annam, so saltpeter can only be smuggled through Guangxi or Guangdong, but saltpeter is different from sulfur, saltpeter is a controlled material of the Wu Dynasty, and the amount of smuggling can not meet the needs, so at this stage, the nitrate in gunpowder can only be obtained by the most outrageous method - collected from the toilet.
As we all know, there is a certain amount of nitrate in human excrement, which will be slowly precipitated out after excretion into the septic tank, forming small pieces of white saltpeter crystals on the wall of the toilet or by the side of the manure pit. At this stage, the saltpeter needed in the industrial system and military system of the Senate - basically comes from these nitrate crystals scraped off the wall, not only the amount is small, but also no one is willing to scrape, even the soldiers usually complain that they can always smell a smell of urine in the smoke after launch, which makes people a little unbearable.
As for the work of scraping nitrate crystals, they are basically directly attributed to Sun Wenbin's Committee of Agriculture to collect, because they are responsible for septic tank emptying and composting work on weekdays, and scraping crystals is of course a matter of effort, but now Sun Wenbin has also received a lot of complaints from naturalized people, digging dung and lying on the side of the dung pit to scrape the wall skin are two different things, and the naturalized people who are responsible for digging dung are not willing to do this kind of convenient thing now, so now the amount of nitrate has begun to decrease and decrease, plus the start of the chemical plant, The demand for nitrate is rising gradually, and then scraping the wall skin by the manure pit is far from satisfying the needs, so the mining department specially sent several prospectors to go out to carry out prospecting work within the scope of the Oriental Port Zhancheng Port, not to mention, but not a single ore site was found, and now saltpeter is still an important search target of the Senate.
However, now the shiny little stone crystal hanging around this woman's neck turned out to be saltpeter, which made Hong Jie almost not jump, and snatched the small necklace with his hand and looked at the sun, but he was not a mining person, so he couldn't see what it was at all, so he could only give up after looking at it for a while, and put the small necklace back into Zhan Jie's hand.
Zhan Jie shrugged his shoulders, "You can't understand grabbing a hair?" As he spoke, he pointed to a few other small stones on it, "Although I can't tell what kind of mineral deposits these are, I can be sure that they must be metal minerals, and if I can find a place, there must be mineral deposits there, but I don't know how many reserves there will be." ”
"I see what you mean!" Guo Hao hurriedly said loudly, "Do you want them to dig these ores, and then we will buy the ores directly?" ”
Sun Kedi's ghosts knotted Mo and hated the cold
"No," Zhan Jie shook his head, "I mean to say that we can directly send personnel and equipment to excavate ore directly on these indigenous lands when the reserves are determined, buy land from them, sell tools, and let them take the initiative to work for us." We can transport the ore back to the Oriental Port for processing, and even directly set up a primary processing plant overseas, and send the processed primary materials directly back to the Oriental Port, which can be immediately supplied to the industrial sector for production and processing. ”
"That's right, that's right!" Guo Hao slapped his face, "This is a good thing, win-win!" As he spoke, he discussed with the elders next to him how to discuss with the natives the matter of sending prospectors and buying land.
The ship is far away from the hatred of the Duhou Shu, and the Yang Tong is hateful
Hong Jie sighed, looked at the woman in front of him who didn't know what was going on, and said to Zhan Jie beside him, "You return the necklace to others, you are already planning to go to the ancestral grave of the eighteenth generation of your ancestors, don't take her necklace." ”
"No problem!" Hong Jie hurriedly won, suffocating Guo Hao so much that he almost didn't lose his breath, he hurriedly pulled Hong Jie aside and said, "Are you stupid?" How many things can be exchanged in this poor country? What are you going to change for when you come here? You don't have to change wood for coconut, do you? ”
"What? What's the same thing? Zhan Jie was not happy, "I'm not doing something bad, I'm bringing light to them!" So saying, he dug into his pocket, took out a copper coin from his pocket, and motioned to the woman, who looked timidly, and reached out to take it. Zhan Jie smiled and nodded, turned around and handed the small necklace to the military medical officer beside him and said, "You go and put this away, and prepare to let the returning ship take it back and submit it to the Senate Industrial Committee to see how pure these ores are, and whether they are worth mining." ”
