Chapter 257: Decision

On the Langyue Peninsula, only a dozen wooden houses have been built on the beach, all of which are occupied by hundreds of workers who have been transferred from the iron ore mine. The island is mostly forested and has very little flat land, so if you want to build a port here, you need to develop the mountains and forests near the beach.

"It is also beneficial to build the warehouse halfway up the mountainside, at least in the event of a tsunami, you are not afraid that the goods in the warehouse will be destroyed by the sea" Lin Ruhai looked at the hillside that had been cut down a lot of trees.

"My subordinates also think so, our wharf is too far from the shore, and it is very inconvenient to transport goods, but we can ensure the safety of the warehouse, and the tax and silver extracted will be lowered, and there will be many merchant ships willing to dock here to do business." Old Shadow said.

"Actually, this delivery of goods is not necessarily much worse than those deep-water docks, if they rent our warehouse, we can provide them with some small boats and carriages, so that they don't have to worry about transportation, and they can save a lot of freight, why not" Jia Min said.

The old shadow glanced at Lin Ruhai and hesitated, "In this way, we will have to invest another sum of silver, and we will lose a lot of silver to transport the goods."

"Uncle Shadow, take a long-term view, our main purpose now is to attract merchant ships to our Langyue Peninsula to dock and do business. There are more merchant ships coming and going, and there will be more tax silver, will you still be able to see this small profit when the time comes, besides, putting the transportation of goods in our hands is only good for us" Lin Ruhai said.

The old shadow frowned and said, "My subordinates don't understand"

Lin Ruhai gave Jia Min a look, and Jia Min took Lin Lang to the side to see the trees on the mountain.

"Uncle Shadow, do you say that the Cao Gang is powerful, why do they have such a big power as a ninth-rate gang?"

"Master, you mean that you want to cultivate a gang like the Cao Gang on the Langyue Peninsula."

"Yes or no, I want to have some people who can walk in the merchant ship openly, these people must be under my control, I think those aborigines who work for us can be used, they have been doing things for the Lin family for so many years, how much will they think about the Lin family, you pick a few people to train, it is the best spies." You don't have to be afraid that they will betray Lin Jia Dao, they have seen how powerful we are, and they have a heartfelt awe for us, as long as they are used well, they will be more powerful and more reliable than the Cao Gang."

After thinking about the village for a while, the old shadow knelt down and saluted Lin Ruhai and said, "It's a subordinate who is confused, and he didn't think so far-reaching."

"After all, the number of people on our island is limited, and you can't be here all the time in the future, to ensure the safety of the port and wharf, you still have to rely on these people to come Another point is that our Linjia Island is not easy to be exposed to people, and the appearance of too many Daming people here will cause others to suspect and investigate."

"The subordinates understand what to do, and the subordinates will let the third child select some aborigines to train in the mountains and forests here, and these people will be handed over to the third child in the future."

"Well, the Langyue Peninsula will be handed over to you and the third uncle in the future, and the two of you must ensure that one of you is here to watch. There is no major event on Linjia Island now, and with the Tai Fifty Master guarding it, nothing will go wrong. As for the account office in the port, it was originally said that Grandpa Thirty-Seven would come, but then I thought about it, and it was better to use younger people on the Langyue Peninsula as much as possible. Just let Uncle Twenty-Six come over, he has been helping Grandpa Thirty-Seven to sort out the accounts all these years, and it should be no problem to deal with the accounts here. Also, you can choose a few more uncles to come here to guard the town, I'm afraid that if someone comes here to look for trouble. ”

"There are now ten people who have followed their subordinates to the Langyue Peninsula, it is better for the subordinates to summon ten more people, there are twenty people, plus the hundred or so aborigines, even if someone does not make trouble with long eyes, the subordinates are confident that they are all scared, it is really not good, don't we still have cannons and firearms?"

"Have you installed all the cannons that were brought from our island?"

"Master, all of them are placed, the four long-range ones are set up on the reefs in the east and north places, and there are six gun wagons now in the wooden houses over there, if anyone dares to try to attack us from this side of the beach, the six cannons will be pushed to the beach so that they will not return."

"Have you ever been disturbed by pirates in this month?"

"I've been here for a few groups of pirates, all of them left when they saw the flagpole we had erected on the beach from afar, and it seems that the prestige of our Lin family has terrified them," the old shadow said with a smile.

"Hehe, maybe last time our ships used cannons to deter them, so they didn't dare to test them again," Lin Ruhai also laughed.

"Daddy, daddy, what do you see here" Lin Lang ran to Lin Ruhai's side and raised his little hand to let Lin Ruhai see what was in his hand.

Lin Ruhai looked at the two small round black balls in Lin Lang's hand, "What kind of seed does this look like?"

"This is the seed of the soil agarwood tree," Jia Min also walked over at this time and said, "You only know that red sandalwood and huanghuali are very valuable, but you don't know that this soil agarwood is all treasures, and this mountain forest we bought, I don't know other places, there are large soil agarwood trees in the mountain forest near the beach."

"The master mother is saying that those white trees are earth agarwood, and the subordinates really don't know it" The old shadow was surprised, he didn't know the earth agarwood tree, but he had heard that agarwood is a traditional Chinese medicine, and the key is that it can not only be used in medicine, but also made into spices. The main mother is really a big lucky star, and as soon as she arrived on the Langyue Peninsula, she found a good thing to make money

"This soil agarwood tree will only exist in the mountains and forests of a hundred zhang high, and it is estimated that there will be one here, and there will be no one in the depths" Lin Ruhai Road.

"Daddy, just now my mother and I saw a lot of big bumps on the trees over there, and my mother said that it was not a pimple, it was called agarwood" Lin Lang didn't want to be ignored by adults, took Lin Ruhai's hand, and looked up at his father.

"Husband, agarwood is very common in the Lingnan area of Daming, I heard that Western countries like to use agarwood to make what perfume, I think that the mountains and forests are to be used to build warehouses, those agarwood will be cut down, it is better to cut off those agarwood, let our sea ships take to Western countries to sell, it is estimated that it can be sold at a good price." Jia Min proposed.

"Okay, just listen to Min'er's Uncle Shadow, you clean up all the agarwood you have cut, and after I will be Mingming, I will arrange for someone to come over at that time, and let them directly give you the silver that sells agarwood" The content of the chapter is being restored, please visit it later.
