Chapter Fifty-Three: The Evil Tadpole Trade
The two people who were going to report to work only remembered that these days, it seems that they haven't seen Ushiida?
In the shipyard, Xu Ping'an has lost a lot of pounds, and at the same time he commanded the blacksmiths to make iron parts, the timber factory broke the wood, and he had to squat in the shipyard to write and calculate, and he also fought hard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Guan Renxiu: "Strange, why can't I find this guy anywhere?" Also, Brother Xu, why did you stay here?"
Tersfil: "Wow! What a beautiful ship! So big, there are four poles alone!"
"I've been building ships here for the past few weeks, and Ushiida ran back to transport supplies, probably, I'll be back in the next few days, right?"
Guan Renxiu asked a question: "Why do you want to build such a big ship? Now there is not even a passing merchant, and it is useless to build it!"
Xu Ping'an was stunned: "That's right! What is the use of building such a big ship? Why did I build it without asking?"
Here in the Thousand Caves and Hills, it is very smooth to find trees, and there are mountains to the east.
There was a delay in the camp for a while.
"King Wang, a lot of humans have been drilling into the hole recently, we are afraid of Wang~" The old acquaintance 012 Double Twelve hurriedly came up and cried.
"What? Aren't there signs at the door, these fools, telling them we're going to the harbor?"
"They're coming to our kobolds!"
"Ahh
"No Wang, they can't get into our little hole, but they lost two arquebuses......"
"Understood, this is to steal technology! Forget it, there are a lot of front-end technologies, you can't learn by stealing a gun. Remember, in the future, there will be more holes, leaving only a small opening that the kobold can walk. Also, you must be optimistic about gunpowder and cannons, these two things cannot be lost!"
After thinking about it, he commanded a few more words: "You have raised so many demon spiders, do you have a good personality? If not, take a few out, and let someone out to bite him when they come!"
Double Twelve's eyes lit up: "Is it okay? Tesfil is a bad teacher, he has already taken away a lot of Wang, all of them are the most beautiful! The rest are hidden by 017 Lin Shenhe, we are not allowed to play, and we have to give him a lot of tadpole Wang if we touch it!"
"That's a lot of tadpoles? That's enough! You two are messing around behind my back! Forget what you like to raise, the old man doesn't care!"
Ushiida snorted angrily and returned home with the fleet and wooden platoon.
On the other hand, as spring warms up, a team from the town of Saka also set off, aiming for the Samri Harbor.
The leader, the mercenary captain Siva.
Humans take the land route, which is still a passage developed before the Demon Calamity, so the speed is relatively slow.
Along the way, mosquitoes were rampant, the team was tired to the beach, and the well-informed old captain Hu Ge, who happened to return from the sea, sent the 'eighty percent full' to the shipyard for maintenance, and greeted the team enthusiastically:
"Long time no see, my old friend! You look fat, you look like you're having a good winter, hahaha!"
"I'm relieved to see that you're okay, old captain, you've lost a lot of weight!"
The two bearded old men hugged each other and said a lot of sweet words before settling down the team.
"I don't remember, the last time I left, there was a wooden fortress like this, and besides, on the other side of the river, how could there be a large area of farmland?
"Well,"
Hu Ge gradually restrained his smile:
"It's all the lizardmen, the ones you mentioned in the letter, and they took a few days to build. After that, they abandoned it again and left suddenly. The time was just in winter, shortly after you broke the siege in the Black Swamp.
Then they came and built a new camp across the river, and then they started farming, and then they came and went, and now, there should be two thousand.
"We, the survivors, didn't want to continue to live in the bushes, so we moved here. ”
Siva nodded, looking around in silence.
The camp looks good, the wooden fence is a little thinner, but a few watchtowers are simply erected, the number of survivors is small, various materials are used to build sheds in the camp, chickens, ducks, and yellow dogs run around in the camp, and a few fields have been opened up outside, which has a bit of a pioneer smell.
Of course, it's nothing compared to the new green river on the other side of the river.
Siva asked, "What do you think of those neighbors, the ones who call themselves kobolds?"
Hu Ge hesitated, looked around, and then pulled Siva to a place where no one was around: "They...... It's kind and helps us a lot. At least, survivors don't have to worry about demons. However, there are too many of these little guys, and they are also very united, even if they go out, they have to line up, which is completely the style of an elite army. Everyone is a little scared, if they suddenly become enemies, these little guys are much more difficult than demons......
"Moreover, these little ones are very clever in their work, and they have already started to build their own boats, and I took the initiative to try their boats, and I was invited to be captains...... Of course, I just want to try out what is so special about these alien ships...... It should be said that the overall situation is not worse than ours, and many places seem to be a little better......"
He also gave a detailed account of what he had seen in the shipyard and the 'special pirate ship'.
At the same time, Ushiida also returned to the Lizard Fortress.
"I'm exhausted! I've got everything you want, wood, wood tar, all kinds of long and short barrels, iron ingots, and ten six-pounder cannons, and I won't mention the miscellaneous ones, there's nothing else, right? I'm going to eat......"
"Wait!"
Xu Ping'an, who has been staying up late, has been troubled by a question for a long time, and if there is no answer, I am afraid that I will go crazy:
"I put so much effort into building such a large-tonnage ship, what do you want to do with it?
"It's not me, it's us, we're a team, and we've always supported you! ”
"Getting to the point!"
"Well, I just asked about the price of the ship, I don't necessarily have to buy it, what if it's very cheap? Unexpectedly, you suddenly burst into energy! As a team, we have to support it! Besides, if it is built, ......"
Xu Ping'an rolled his eyes and fainted.
Brother Long has been traveling around these days, doing nothing, and occasionally going out to the sea, and he has a very happy life.
This time, the mercenary captain visited, and he also patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I have the final say here, welcome!"
However, his brain is not empty after all, he just took a few people to hang around the shipyard, this is the place where the kobold has the most technical shortcomings, and he has been watched by Hu Ge for a few months, and he is not afraid of leaks.
Back at the survivors' camp, Hu Ge began to lose his hair again: "Two small brigs...... It's not easy! Give me five people, no, three people, I'm afraid you can drive away! Give me ten people, and you can run a foreign sea trade! That four-masted ship...... I can't see anything yet, but the carrying capacity alone is already the largest level of sea ships of all countries......"
