Chapter 115: Graphite !!
Returning to the tribe on a bamboo raft, Yan Zheng was actually a little unhappy in his heart.
Not only did he get a discount this time, but he couldn't slaughter those two dog traitors with his own hands.
It's just that this little unhappiness quickly disappeared, because among the ransom money obtained this time, there were about 1,000 catties of graphite, 500 catties of lead, 50 catties of bauxite, and 10 catties of mercury.
There are also arsenic and realgar 200 catties each, ten calves, five donkeys, 20 puppies, 20 piglets, 200 eggs, 200 duck eggs, and 200 goose eggs.
The most rare thing is that there is no shortage of 1,000 catties of seed grain, and there is no shortage of vegetable seeds.
Yan Zheng guessed that it might be someone who did this, so he wanted to pick a cheap one to meet it.
After all, graphite in the Ming Dynasty was called soft gangue, also known as daishi, and it was usually used by women for thrushes, which was already very common.
As a professional pig farmer, he is even more satisfied with these 20 pigs, and these 20 pigs know at a glance that they are Taihu pigs.
The biggest advantage of Taihu pigs is that they have strong reproductive ability, and once released a sow in a certain period, and gave birth to a satellite of 64 piglets.
Although this is an exaggeration, according to reliable records, the highest record of Taihu pigs is that a litter has given birth to 42 piglets.
As long as we have this batch of Taihu pigs, we can quickly improve the pig breeds on this island, and even use the wild boars on the island to crossbreed to see if we can make pigs that are more suitable for the environment here.
As for these ten calves, it is even more Yan Zheng's heart!
Not only did he have to find a few special people to eat and live with the cows, but he also had to take care of them himself every day.
No way, cows are so important!
If he opens the way to trade with Daming, his first large-scale purchase will definitely have cattle!
Without the powerful animal power of cattle, it would be many times more difficult to cultivate the great cause.
As for puppies and donkeys, donkeys are at most used to carry things and grind, and if the dogs are dogs, Yan Zheng plans to give them to the clansmen as pets.

"Wang, are you looking for a villain?"
After arranging these precious animals, Yan Zheng summoned Li Haigou in the Red Room.
"Sit down first!" Yan Zheng waved him to sit down.
After thinking about it, Li Haigou knelt down with his body bent: "The king knows everything?" ”
Yan Zheng nodded, looked at him and didn't speak.
Li Haigou smiled bitterly and said: "King, this time it is the villain's greed to cause trouble, if it weren't for the villain's troubles, he could bring back a lot of villagers to the king!"
There is also a mind that should not be had, the villain knows that the king treats the villain with sincerity, but he was really dizzy at the time! ”
"Villain, I ......"
"Needless to say!" Yan Zheng sighed: "I can understand you doing this, but you can actually tell me directly about this." It's also because you and I haven't known each other for a long time, if you knew who I am, I wouldn't have done this! ”
"Lehi dogs! I compromised with the Yang family today, but I didn't take them seriously at all! They are just businessmen who collude with pirates and pirates, and what I want to do is far from being as simple as making a few bucks! ”
"It's just that I have to pay attention to them, because even if they are businessmen, they have some real power. I won't move until I can't shake it! But one day, I will destroy all of these people, one by one! ”
Li Haigou lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded heavily: "The villain understands!" ”
"It's good to get it!" Yan Zheng smiled faintly and said, "Get up!" Your daughter is very smart, she knows a lot of words now, in a few days, she will be able to write and count, and when there are more people here, she can become an official! ”
"This ......" Li Haigou raised his eyes and looked at Yan Zheng, and said in a daze: "How can a woman be an official?" ”
"How can the rules of the Ming Dynasty be applied to me?" Yan Zheng said disdainfully: "He Ming doesn't let women be officials, I just want to let women be officials, not only women will be officials in the future, I will also let all children be literate, and all lowly registrations such as Tanhu will be abolished!" ”
Li Haigou was even more surprised, and he muttered, "What does the king mean that in the future, when he comes to Dongfan Island, the children will be able to read and write?" Can a woman be an official? Don't have a pariah yet? ”
"Exactly! To be precise, even when I come to Dongfan Island, I am all my people, and they are equal in personality, maybe they are rich and poor, but I will never allow the distinction between high and low! ”
"This ......," Lehi Dog smiled, "this ...... How can there be no distinction between high and low? ”
Yan Zheng pointed to his face and said, "My face is a human face, is your face a human face?" Since they are all human beings, why must someone be more noble? If you can't punish a doctor, you can't pay a courtesy, where is there such a reason? Is it true that if you are born a pariah, you deserve to be oppressed, and you are not worthy of being a human being? ”
Li Haigou didn't have the concept of human rights in his mind, but he had just returned from the Yang family, and since he had been wild on the day of the fight, he had faintly thought about why they were born to be despised and oppressed.
The tanmen had never done anything, but their fathers had left no fields and houses, so they were born to live on ships.
"The king's words are heartwarming!"
Yan Zheng continued: "But you also have to understand that if you can't get a broom, the dust won't fall off!" Those who are on the top, if you don't knock them down, they won't obediently step down from the high platform!
Only if you smash their dogs' heads, they will no longer oppress you, and only if you let them be like you, bound by the law, will they not dare to do anything wrong! ”
As a person who had resisted once, Li Haigou immediately nodded heavily: "What the king said is right! This time, the villain is in the Yang family, if he hadn't been stubborn, I'm afraid he would have ...... a long time ago ...... long ago"
"You betrayed me a long time ago, didn't you?" Yan Zheng said with a smile.
Li Haigou smiled innocently, and Yan Zheng said again: "Those dead folks of yours, I have also written down this blood feud!" Although I have no intention of killing them, but they have died because of me, if I do not take revenge, I am sorry for this unjust soul! ”
Lehi Dog sighed and said, "This is also fate!" If they can come to this Dongfan Island, then they will be able to live a good life! I just hope that they will have a good birth, and don't throw it into the Tanhu family again. ”
"It's not fate! It was the Ming Dynasty from top to bottom that did not treat the untouchables as people, but as tools! Yan Zheng said coldly: "One of the accomplices who killed them, there is also the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Li Haigou was stunned, and suddenly glanced at Yan Zheng in surprise, the word rebellion flashed in his heart, but he didn't know how to describe it when he thought that it was not a Ming person in front of him.
Seeing this, Yan Zheng chuckled and said, "It's just that now, our strength is still very weak!" So I want you to help me train my men how to handle boats! I hope that in a few days, you will be able to take a boat to Fujian! ”
"Little ...... The villain obeys! ”
"Still kneeling? Hurry up! Yan Zheng said with a smile.
Li Haigou glanced at himself, only to realize that he had been kneeling, and then quickly stood up.
