Chapter 222: In Search of History

At this time, on Lyre, Harmon was very busy.

The three million taels of gold left by Boss Lu have to be put to good use.

Money needs to be spent on the cutting edge! Moreover, it is necessary to make Tianqin Island as much as possible to sit on the name of the China Sea Cargo Transfer Station!

So, Harmon has been working hard for a few days.

Many large handicraft workshops were set up, and then the docks and shipyards on Lyra Island were directly advanced.

In order to increase the speed of the exchange of goods and the throughput of the port, Harmon took great pains.

The island area of Tianqin Island is not small, as large as five or six Jiangzhou Mansions, but the degree of economic development is not as high as that of Jiangzhou Mansions.

Why? Because of the supplies!

Jiangzhou Mansion faces the sea, backs to the mainland, and is located in the East China Sea, along with the three states!

The sea is vast, the official road on the land is unimpeded, and the East China Sea is a treasure of feng shui in this place, which is connected to the river and the east and Zhongzhou on the left.

In recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, the agricultural development has been excellent, and the terrain is suitable for cultivation and grazing, in terms of basic materials, but I don't know how many times better than Tianqin Island.

Since this natural resource Lyra Island is not dominant at all, then he Harmon will use the manpower advantage!

The island group in the middle sea is the most important thing to lack is labor!

Although the inhabitants of these islands have no culture or cultivators, they have a brute force!

Moreover, it is very easy to feed, as long as the food is enough, any job can be done well for you!

This kind of cheap and affordable labor is simply a blessing for Lyra!

Don't look at the fact that the place on Lyra Island is not very big, but the yield of this crop is not low.

Nearly half of the land on Lyra Island is fertile and produces very good wheat and corn!

The wheat and corn on this island are completely different from those found on land, and due to the island's climate, crops can be cultivated for a short period of time.

Crops are planted only for two months of the year, and the rest of the time is mostly spent growing vegetables or oil crops.

This method of rotational cultivation was also learned by Hamon from the descendants of Mara in the open sea, and it has to be said that it is indeed relatively easy to use.

"Mr. Harmon, I need more people to help me make parts. ”

Mo Lin, who stayed on Tianqin Island, didn't know how to write the word polite at all, since Lao Lu told him that he could call these people casually, then, he Mo Lin naturally did it.

The reason why Harmon has set up several large craft workshops is specifically for Morin's needs to make parts for the Trap Beast!

Although they can't help at all with the production of complete trap beasts, these islanders do a very good job of polishing and processing parts!

After all, their handiwork is very powerful, there are many skilled craftsmen here, and people who come and go by boat are naturally very good at polishing their skills.

So, under the command of Morin, the handicraft workshop on Lyra Island set off a vigorous work frenzy.

So much so that within three days, Merlin had assembled the parts of ten trap beasts and fifteen trap finch.

This was completely unthinkable to Morin, the production power of Tianqin Island could reach such a height, which was equivalent to giving Morin the opportunity to experiment with unlimited times!

In this way, he will be able to create something more practical by using the Mojia Technique!

Just when Morin was intoxicated by the world of mechanical arts, Lao Lu and the others returned smoothly from Banbu Island.

Yang Ming had already woken up, and seeing everything on Tianqin Island made him feel very curious.

This Tianqin Island is much more interesting than Banbu Island! All kinds of snack restaurants on the island gather the essence of this Zhonghai Island!

Yang Ming said that people who had never been to Zhonghai naturally wanted to try all these things.

Hamon respectfully welcomed Lu Cheng to the office of the Zhonghai Branch of the Siren Society, and after making a pot of excellent tea for Lu Cheng, he began to report to Lu Cheng on the use of his three million taels of gold.

After all, the current Lu Cheng is his Hamon boss, and all Harmon has to do is to manage it properly, and not let Lu Cheng's investment go down the drain.

Although the Kraken Society is a pirate organization, they are also a huge alliance of chambers of commerce!

Doing business, although with a bit of pirate business, but in the final analysis, they are still a group of traders.

Selling force is also a kind of business!

"What do you think of this development?"

"I think it's possible to develop slowly, Hammon, haven't you calculated, how long will I be able to recoup my costs if I follow your method?"

Harmon was stunned, the cost of the 30 million taels of silver could not be recovered for a while.

Moreover, if the Kraken at this time will fully use the money invested by Lu Cheng and increase his efforts to engage in business.

It is estimated that it will take at least five or six years for Lu Cheng's money to be recovered.

"At least, it will take five or six years, and this is still in good weather. ”

"It's been too long, and I think it's a little too slow. ”

This Lu Cheng, who has experienced the blessing of the fortune of the high priest of Kozan, is hard to speak!

He is a man with five years of good luck, if it really took five years to get back the money he invested, then wouldn't his good luck be in vain?

"I think it's a big gamble directly! I'm going to recover all the 30 million taels of silver in a year!"

"Moreover, if I recover the cost of 30 million this year, I can once again divide half of it in my own name to increase my investment in the Kraken Society!"

This directly surprised Harmon a little.

Does this mean that Lu Cheng is preparing to be a major shareholder directly in the Kraken Society?

If what he said was really reliable, in one year, he Lu Cheng would have 45 million taels of silver in the Kraken Society!

That's enough to account for half of the current share of the Kraken Society's East China Sea Branch!

In other words, if Lu Cheng is really ready to do this, the Zhonghai Branch of the Kraken Society is already equivalent to his Lu Cheng's private institution!

In addition to providing some supplies to the Kraken Society's headquarters every year, he can use the Kraken Society's ships, manpower, and resources almost at will!

Of course, the money he paid was fully worthy of such a service.

"But...... 30 million taels of silver a year is still a little too difficult for China Shipping. ”

"Yes? I didn't say my goal was just in the middle of the ocean. ”

After speaking, Lu Cheng got up directly and walked to the north wall of the office hall, on this wall, the sea map of the entire Zhonghai was drawn.

The location and size of the 300 islands in the middle sea are clearly marked on the map, and the deep sea area, reef area, and fishing area are clearly marked on this map.

Below the Middle Sea is a continent marked with a skull, and that's where Lu Cheng is going to go.

Oving Continent.

"My goal this time, to tell you the truth, is actually here. ”

"Oving Continent?"

Harmon asked, somewhat confused.

Although he knew that Lu Cheng's true qi cultivation had reached a relatively high level at this time, it was still a little too reluctant to go to the human forbidden area of the Owen Continent.

Not to mention anything else, there are countless giant spirit beasts in the sea off the coast of the Owen Continent alone.

Those huge whale sharks, tiger sharks, and giant squid can overturn ships close to the Irving continent in minutes.

Those giant spirit beasts in the sea seemed to be in order to protect the Aowen Continent, forming a natural biological barrier in the offshore area of the Aowen Continent.

In the past, the Kraken Society also tried to get close to the Irvine Continent, but when they saw the outline of the Oving Continent, they were attacked by a huge deep-sea squid.

Those huge tentacles are comparable to the Kraken, the giant demon of the deep sea recorded in the mythology of the North Sea!

It was only after gunpowder and cannonballs that the giant squid stopped attacking the ship, and the Siren's crew was ordered to pass the news back.

"While I have to say that it was a good place to make money, it seemed too dangerous. ”

"Dear Harmon, you have to understand that danger represents profit!"

Lu Cheng smiled, not to mention anything else, it was just those strange sea spirit beasts in the coastal waters of the Aowen Continent, if they could be captured, they would be a lot of income to circulate to the market.

The legendary giant squid, the giant tiger shark and the giant whale shark were all things that lived on the legends of sailors, and no one had ever actually seen them now.

If he can capture such a thing alive, then his research value is immeasurable!

Even, there are many rumors that the flesh of these deep-sea spirit beasts has magical effects!

Prolonging life is an inevitable thing, and if this kind of thing really circulates on the market, someone will pay for it as much as it is estimated.

Those rich masters, who don't want to live two more years?

Even in a place like the Cloud Empire, not all rich people are cultivators, and it is not a problem for cultivators to live to be a hundred years old, but what about ordinary people?

Those ordinary people are already very rare when they live to be seventy years old!

Being able to prolong life, this kind of good thing, who wouldn't want to?

"So, are you sure you're heading to Owing?"

"That's right, I'm going to open the first channel of the Oving continent and break through the barrier guarded by the so-called deep sea beasts!"

"Then, set up an observatory and camp off the coast of the Irving Continent!"

"I need a lot of supplies, Hamon, and that's a very important task. ”

Lu Cheng looked at Harmon's eyes with great attention, as if he wanted to entrust Harmon with a heavy responsibility.

"This is the first time that people of this era have traveled to that unknown and mysterious continent, and I hope we can do more than just make money. ”

"We should be remembered and written in the annals of history!"

"This is a small step for us, but a giant step in exploring the history of our human civilization!"

"Harmon, would you like to take this step with me?"

I have to say that Lu Cheng's demagogic set is really slippery, and just a few words make Harmon completely unable to refuse.

If he refuses, then he Hamon has become an enemy of mankind!

"Boss Lu, I'm willing to serve you!"

Harmon knelt down deeply towards Landing City, declaring his loyalty and courage directly to him!

"Very well, Hamon, then we'll rest for two days, and then head straight to the Oving continent. ”

"Let's clear the fog together and find the history hidden deep in the mysterious continent. ”

Lu Cheng smiled, a smile of satisfaction and confidence.

If he didn't take advantage of the blessing of his lucky power to go to the Aowen Continent to have a look, I'm afraid he would never set foot in that weird place in his life.

Of course, he certainly couldn't put himself in a situation of being isolated.

Harmon, this is a great helper!
