The Qin Nu people led by them had a flattering and surprised look on their faces, and the fleet of the suzerain's country came over once every six months.

And every time I come over, I bring a lot of things.

The people on the ship were also kind to their own people, and from time to time they would reward them with something.

As long as they can offer enough things, they can even get the "bamboo express" used by the "envoy".

For them, it is something like an offering.

Of course, the bamboo kuai used by that Xu Envoy Ling was precious to ordinary people like them, but it was not as good as another thing.

If anyone could be looked at by the people on the ship, he would be taken as a "slave".

As the private slave of the Qin people, he can leave the Qin slave island and follow the master to the Qin country.

Serving the Sect Master in Heaven and living a life that is many times stronger than the current one is an eternal dream for the people on Qinnu Island.

But the people on this ship will not easily accept private slaves, and even if they do, they will only accept some Qinnu people in the custody of this silver mine.

Therefore, taking care of those who mine in the silver mine is a very good job for the Qinnu people, and only the Qinnu lord can do it, and only the relatives and valued people who have been given the title of "Qin Nufu" by the god-like First Emperor can do it.

In the distance, the army dressed in iron armor and black clothes had already come to the vicinity of this mine, and the Qinnu tribesman Yamamoto Kiichiro hurriedly crawled in front of them.

"The Qinnu clan, the Iwamiyama silver mine caretaker Yamamoto Kiichiro has met the envoy."

Ignoring the dirt on the ground, he knelt down and bowed.

The people led by Qin Jun were not surprised or even cared, as if they were used to it.

"Alright, get up."

He waved his hand and said, "How much silver ore has been produced in the past six months?"

Kiichiro Yamamoto lowered his head and said, "Envoy Qiqi, a total of 3,000 mining slaves have been recruited this time, and a total of 330,000 catties of silver ore have been mined."

330,000 catties?

Fu Ya raised his eyebrows slightly, this number was beyond his expectations.

Normally, it is good to be able to open 200,000 catties of silver ore in half a year.

For example, the last time he came to collect it, the caretaker only took someone to dig out 180,000 catties of silver ore.

This number is already more than average.

It seems that this Kiichiro Yamamoto did not make any less effort.

Fu Ya looked around slightly, and didn't see any Qin Nu people who were resting and moving.

Immediately nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you are very good."

He looked at Kiichiro Yamamoto and said, "This time Ben will give you a name, and the next time Ben will come to fetch ore, if you can produce more than 350,000 catties, Ben will be able to take you as a private slave."

"Would you?"

Fu Ya's tone was lofty, and his tone was full of rewards.

When Yamamoto Kiichiro heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and then he threw himself on the ground and said, "I have seen the master, and I ask the master to give him a name."

Fu Ya pondered for a moment, then looked at him and said, "You haven't made any merits for me now, so you can't use my Heavenly Empire surname."

"Take the poultry as your last name."

"From now on, you will be the dog thirteen."

Fu Ya looked at Dog Thirteen and said, "Dogs are loyal birds, and they can be guarded by others."

"I hope you don't live up to this last name."

Dog Thirteen immediately knelt down and said gratefully, "Dog Thirteen thank you for the name!"

Fu Ya nodded slightly, and then let Dog Thirteen stand up, and Dog Thirteen stood behind him, watching the soldiers of the Qin Army pull the silver ore away after counting it.

When Fu Ya was about to leave, Inu Thirteen knelt on the ground and waited for Fu Ya to leave.

A moment later, Fu Ya had already walked away, and Inu Thirteen immediately stood up.

At this time, a Qinnu tribesman ran out of the mine: "Eldest brother, the lord is gone?"

Inu Thirteen nodded slightly, "Yes."

There was uncontrollable surprise in his eyes: "The Lord has given me the name "Dog Thirteen"."

"And said that as long as I can hand over more than 350,000 silver ore when I hand over the ore next time, the lord will take me as a private slave and take me away from Qinnu Island!"

Inu-Thirteen looked at the mine in the distance, with a hint of madness in his eyes.

"Go, tell the miners."

"From today onwards, everyone must dig up more than thirty-five pounds of ore!"

"Whoever can't dig more than thirty-five pounds is not allowed to eat!"

"If you dig under forty-five pounds, you are not allowed to sleep!

！」

"Starting today, the mining time has changed, and everyone must mine for ten hours a day! Otherwise, you are not allowed to go to the mine!"

Penglai Chau

A seaside

A large number of soldiers followed Chen Ke and Fusu outside, and the sound of the waves in the distance was surging against the boulders around them, making a crackling sound.

It's very lonely.

Chen Ke walked on the seaside, and the big sun above his head was still a little spicy at this time, but it made people feel very comfortable shining on people's bodies.

Fusu looked at Chen Ke and asked, "Teacher, what are you doing here?"

Chen Ke touched his chin, he looked at the flat seaside around him, and then looked up at the sun overhead.

Plenty of sunshine, a mild climate, and a large area of flat beach.

This is the place to be.

He exhaled, with a slightly relaxed look on his face, and then looked at Fusu beside him and said, "Penglaizhou relies on the sea, of course, it depends on the sea for food."

"Maybe I don't understand when I say this, but in fact, if every place wants to develop, it must first develop the "economy"."

"Only when the economy grows can the rest of the things develop."

"Then how to develop the economy becomes a problem, and the best way is to adapt it to local conditions."

"Penglaizhou is close to the sea, which can develop the sea economy, but any fisherman can catch these things, which cannot form a special economic pillar unique to Penglaizhou."

Chen Ke turned his head to look at Fusu, changed the topic and said, "Fusu, do you know where all the salt in my Great Qin came from now?"

Salt?

Fusu was a little dazed: "Teacher, the disciple doesn't know."

Chen Ke chuckled lightly and looked at the ocean as if looking at countless riches.

"Most of today's salt production is made by drenching and frying."

"After the ashes are bred, the ashes and salt are stirred together at noon, and then they are drenched and fried."

"But this method is too cumbersome and difficult to make."

"Now, if I have a way to make salt in large quantities, not even coarse salt, but snow-white salt."

"You say, can this 'Penglai Salt' become a pillar of Penglaizhou's economy?"

Penglai salt?

Fusu frowned slightly: "Teacher, do you want to support the merchants here?"

"Salt is too important here, it can only be in the hands of the imperial court, if it is controlled by those merchants, I am afraid that it will become more and more rampant."

Chen Ke smiled and said, "Of course it's in our hands."

"Have you forgotten the "Manufacturing Department" and the "Municipal Property Department"?"
