The next morning, when Iyun woke up, he found a manifestation charm on the bed, the same one he had drawn last night. It seems that the Death Girl is still gone, and she left this thing before leaving, and there is a bit of goodbye in it, but Yi Yun is not afraid, he knows that this woman will not leave, and she will never be willing to get the treasure of changing jobs.

He walked into the courtyard and saw a group of girls sitting in the courtyard, chatting. Chen Yuanyuan sat in the middle, her decadence yesterday had been swept away, washed cleanly, wearing a beautiful silk dress, raising her hand, throwing her feet, smiling frequently, beautiful as a fairy. She was talking about her experiences in the desert these days, such as how to avoid poisonous scorpions and snakes on the road, to be blown down by sand winds, and to find directions...... When she arrived in Suzhou, how did she find water and get clothes from peasant women...... Later, she took a ride all the way, almost ran into a bad guy, and she blackened her face herself, etc.

This story is really a bit like "Robinson Crusoe", or "The Adventures of Tintin", anyway, it almost tastes like that.

Everyone laughed for a while, and suddenly someone came in to report that the merchants from Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and others had arrived, and this group of merchants had come to cut down trees.

The country is surrounded by deserts, forest resources are very scarce, and most of the oases are forbidden to be cut down. There are only a few poor trees in some oases, who dares to cut them down? Is that looking for death? In this case, the wood of the Great Meng Country is incredibly expensive, and any wooden table is worth a hundred taels of silver, and the better rosewood or something is even more expensive to fly up and bite people. In the whole Dameng country, the most abundant forest resources are Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and most merchants can only purchase wood in these three places to make furniture.

It is a pity that in Yunnan and Guizhou in recent years, there have been rebels who have made trouble, and it is no longer possible to transport timber. Guangxi is also the territory of wolf soldiers, and it is very risky to cut down trees there, so I wonder if the trees are still being cut down today, and tomorrow they will be cooked and eaten by a wild man.

So, when the merchants heard that Yiyun's new oasis allowed them to cut down trees for free, they were immediately excited to death. Gathering towards Jiashan County, in a short period of time, dozens of big businessmen gathered, each of them with a logging team and a transport team, a total of more than a thousand people.

Yi Yun was overjoyed, and did not wait for these businessmen to have a good rest, and immediately led the team to set off and march towards the Shanghai Oasis.

After arriving at the very center of the Shanghai Oasis. Yi Yun first drew a huge map, and then drew a circle in the center of the map, which was so large that it included the later Xuhui District, Changning District, Jing'an District, Zhabei District, and Huangpu District...... The whole is a bit like a rectangle. This area is thirteen kilometers from east to west and eight kilometers from north to south. The total area is about 100 square kilometers, which is basically enough to build a city, and if it is to be expanded in the future, it will be the second phase of the project.

Yi Yun stood on a high platform, and under the stage were the merchants and the logging team and the transport team they had brought with them. He showed the map to everyone, and then said loudly, "Merchants, let you cut down the trees in this area." Whoever cuts is whoever's. The roots of the trees are all yours, but the trees outside of this area are not covered by this plan, and if anyone cuts out of bounds, I will confiscate all the trees he has cut and forbid him to continue to participate in my free tree cutting team. ”

"Wow!" the merchants were startled. He said in unison: "We don't dare to go out of bounds." ”

"It's good if you don't go out of bounds, let's go and cut it!"

"Oh!" the merchant quickly turned around and shouted at the lumberjack behind him, "Rush!

There was a loud bang, thousands of people rushed to the woods, and the lumberjacks hurriedly began to cut down the trees, hundreds of logging axes were waving, and the sound of clattering sounded in all directions. ...,

The convoy in charge of transportation now has nothing to transport for the time being, so it started the whole road first. These people who are engaged in transportation know the importance of roads best. Without a good road, it is impossible to transport timber back quickly and steadily to make money.

It didn't take long for a large area in the woods to be vacated, hundreds of trees had been brought down, and the lumberjacks began to clear the branches of the trees, sawing them down and arranging them into piles. It can be used as firewood, and thick branches can be arranged into a pile, and these thick branches can be used to make table legs or something. The huge and round trunk of the tree is the most valuable thing, and it can be used to make anything, such as building ships, cars, and houses...... Omnipotent.

"Money, these trees are money!" The merchants' eyes lit up, they didn't need to do it themselves, they gathered around Yi Yun, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, you are really a good person, you actually gave us so many trees to cut down for free, this is really ...... I'm so embarrassed. ”

Yi Yun laughed evilly twice and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't be in a hurry to grab the trees, let the workers build a few wooden houses first." Anyway, hundreds of square kilometers of woods are not cut down in a day or two, and the workers have a wooden house to rest at night, so that their motivation can be maintained, otherwise the workers do not rest well, and the trees will not be cut down quickly tomorrow. ”

"Ah, yes! The merchants hurriedly ordered the workers to build makeshift sheds.

Yi Yun laughed and said, "When you finish cutting down the trees and leave, these sheds are not allowed to be demolished, keep them for me, I still have a use." ”

The businessmen hurriedly said: "It is also appropriate to leave something for the prince, of course we will not dismantle it." ”

In the second half of the day, the lumberjacks and transport workers all built wooden houses, they were ingenious, this year to build a house is not like the later generations, it takes a long time to lay the foundation and pour cement or something, anyway, put a few pieces of wood up, put on the board, it becomes a wooden house, it does not require much effort, thousands of people work together, the speed is very fast, quickly build enough wooden houses for thousands of people to live, row by row, neatly arranged.

Yi Yun secretly calculated in his heart that after these merchants withdrew, the row of wooden houses left behind would allow him to settle many immigrants, haha, and make a lot of money.

A few days later......

A huge flat field was cut out of the woods, the roots of the trees were dug up and taken away, the land was turned so softly that the fertile soil made all the workers drool, and they seldom saw such good land anywhere else.

Two long gravel roads were also built, one extending from the center of the Shanghai Oasis to the Jiashan Oasis and the other to Suzhou...... The location of Shanghai Oasis is perfect, not only close to Yiyun's territory of Jiashan, but also close to the prosperous Suzhou, through which there will be a lot of business opportunities in the future.

Large quantities of logs were bundled into camel carts and transported from two newly paved roads to Jiashan and Suzhou, and then to various cities for trading. Since the logging area is close to the Huangpu River, Yi Yun thought of a new way to make money, and he asked Luo Legmao to transfer the boat from Jinshan Wharf, enter the Yangtze River through the Huangpu River, and transport the timber to Nanjing...... This can reduce the transportation pressure of merchants coming from Nanjing. Of course, shipping is much faster than trucking, and taking this opportunity, Yiyun made a lot of money on transportation.

A few days later, Li Huamei and a group of Ningbo maritime merchants arrived, and some of them also joined the work of transporting timber and made a fortune from transportation.

The maritime merchants, all of whom were experienced men, sailed along the coastline of the Shanghai Oasis for a while, surveying the coastal conditions, selecting the most suitable place to build a port, and finally choosing to build a port a little north of the mouth of the Huangpu River. ...,

Of course, the naming right of this port was in the hands of Yi Yun, and Yi Yun did not hesitate to name it "Wusong Port".

Because Yiyun allowed the merchants who financed the construction of the port to berth here for free in the future, and had the right of first refusal to purchase and sell, many maritime merchants paid out of their own pockets and contributed money and manpower to build the port, and it did not take long for a huge port to be built. This port is built very magnificently, the coastline of the wharf is more than 200 meters long, many floating platforms have been built, various types of docks, there are special docks available for large ships and small boats, and hundreds of sea ships can be berthed at the same time and do not seem crowded.

No one knows better than the maritime merchants what kind of wharf is most suitable for businessmen, the port they built themselves, more professional than the official port in Ningbo, not only wide, but also sturdy, large trucks will not have problems moving on the wooden bridge of the wharf, there is a special small commodity trading area and a large commodity trading area, saving the trouble of relying on intermediaries to introduce business like Ningbo wharf, everyone goes directly to the trading area, you have to find the corresponding goods.

In the trading area, it is divided into categories according to the type of goods, such as silk products trading area, ceramic trading area, tea trading area...... All sorts of things were categorized, which greatly facilitated the activities of merchants.

A few days later, the port was finally completed, although there is no commodity circulation in this port for the time being, but Yiyun knows that it will soon develop here, in the history of another world, Westerners have always wanted to open a few more wharves along the coast of the Ming Dynasty for trading, but because of the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy, there are only three ports at most, and only one in Ningbo at the least.

Now although the world has changed, this is the big Meng country, and their own world is a little different, but the direction of the big to will not change, Westerners hope to have a few more ports in the big Meng country is certain, their own new port will soon attract a large number of merchants, and Shanghai is closer to Suzhou, Nanjing, more convenient to transport, the goods in these two places can no longer go to Ningbo, will definitely give priority to their own here.

The port, which is still deserted for the time being, has become a den for Li Huamei and her gang, her Dafu ship and the robbed ironclad ship have been anchored in the port for many years, and occasionally go out, and when she comes back, she brings back a lot of Fusang goods, needless to say, she went out to rob again......

Yi Yun also simply moved his Jinshan Wharf here, allowing Luo Lemao to use Wusong Wharf as a new stronghold.
