Chapter 274: Luha Island

Thinking of this, he had some curiosity,

If in the West. A man and a woman fancy everyone will be able to blend in quickly, to be honest, this matter is very simple, every banquet will promote several couples, even if everyone is married, they can do so. It can be regarded as a lover's relationship, but being a lover in the West is not a shameful thing, but an honor.

Even for many dignitaries, they flaunt their charm by the number of lovers. But here is the implicit Orient of the East, and this kind of thing in the East is definitely looking for death

The man can be said to be a romantic woman, so he has to dip in the pig cage, although it is too strange for Andrew, and even some are incomprehensible. But he spoke cautiously

Chen Zhang immediately spoke as soon as he heard this

"What's wrong Andrew, do you have any good advice?"

He breathed a long sigh of relief

To be honest, he would rather face thousands of troops than face Qian Ruxue, Qian Ruxue

Sometimes you don't need to speak, you just need to look at the tenderness in his beautiful eyes and look tightly, and all his defenses will be broken.

The conscience of heaven and earth, if it weren't for the fact that he had a family in the real society, maybe Qian Ruxue alone would be able to keep it in this world

Andrew swallowed his saliva and said cautiously

"My lord, if you say you want the origin of gunpowder, I have a suggestion."

"You have a suggestion"

Chen Zhang was stunned for a moment, and instantly showed a look of surprise

He also knew that the one in front of him Andrew knew at least more about the West than he did

Although the things and maps he wrote about what the West knew were not detailed, Chen Zhang was able to have a general understanding of the West after reading them

Only then did he stay in the barbarian army, and he was appointed as a general, which can be regarded as an idle position, and he was not given to lead the army for the time being.

Andrew nodded emphatically

"Your Excellency, there is an island in the west not far from the Carros Islands, and that island is called Lyha."

"There is a volcano on the island of Luha, which can produce a lot of sulfur sulfate all year round, which is a good place to make gunpowder, and we export a lot of gunpowder and various materials from there every year."

"What, Luha Island"

Chen Zhang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said

"Show me this island"

Saying that he opened a map, it was made that many people listened to Andrew's words, and collected a map of the Carlos Islands and drew it

After spreading it out, Andrew carefully pointed out an island in the place of the map

Chen Zhang touched his chin at this time.

It was discovered that the island was indeed not too far from the Carros Islands. If it is a voyage, it is estimated that it can be reached in two or three days, and it should be regarded as a relatively close island

Look up

"How much do you know about this Luha Island?"

"There's a volcano up there, it's dangerous."

Andrew frowned slightly and spoke

"This Luha Island is called the island of fireworks, because they have been exporting fireworks for many years, mainly because it is a geological volcano, the place where they can farm is not too much, and the food is relatively scarce, so most of them use fireworks for export trade in exchange for a large amount of food."

Listening to Andrew's words, Chenzhang's brows jumped slightly, and his eyes showed a look of consternation

He suddenly remembered a certain country in reality, although it was the first invention of gunpowder, but they did not attack the invention of gunpowder, but made fireworks that did not represent festivity, and finally ushered in the West using gunpowder to open the country.

"Luha Island"

Chen Zhang's fingers tapped slightly, and the cold light appeared in his eyes. Turning his head to look at Andrew in front of him

"Then you can know if there are enough raw materials to make gunpowder on this Luha Island."

Andrew shook his head

"My lord, I don't know how much gunpowder there is, but they export quite a lot of fireworks every year."

"I see"

Chen Zhang nodded, his finger tapped

"In that case, it seems that we have a chance to go to this Luha Island and see what this Luha Island is like. Of course, if we can, we can take this girl island for ourselves."

"What, will the island of Luha be completely your own"

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, especially Andrew's mouth was wide open

Heaven and earth conscience, he really doesn't know what this is all about. The handsome man in front of him just said a few words, and what he thought of was to take the entire Luha Island for himself, which is also too incredible

In a way, this is simply impossible, and it is too urgent

Chen Zhang raised his head and smiled

"As the saying goes, what belongs to you must fall into your own hands, this is the most important thing, we all know very well, if you want to continue to develop gunpowder, you must have gunpowder, but whether it is the Coral Islands or the Carlos Islands today, there is not much storage of gunpowder, so we need a stable base to provide"

"In contrast, since this Luha Island can have a large amount of gunpowder, we must get it into our hands."

Chen Zhang knew very well that he could not expect anything from others. After all, if you casually count on others, others will directly jam your neck, and it will be too late for you to regret it

.. In particular, things like gunpowder are strategic materials, and cowboys must also be owned by themselves.

Chen Zhang's voice just fell

Liu Fucai, Wang Degui and others were stunned at the same time and nodded heavily

"Your Excellency is right, ours. A large amount of gunpowder is needed, so of course the production base of gunpowder must be owned by us, and cannot be owned by others."

Zhao Zhi said word by word

Now that he has passed through the battle of the Carlos Islands, he attaches great importance to gunpowder, and his eyes are shining

The same is true for stones

"Haha, what the lord said is very right, no matter what you want to do, I will be willing to follow the lord, this is absolutely no problem"

"My lord, I'll do whatever you say."

Qian Ruxue's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of essence

He didn't speak, but her face said it all

You know, once there is no gunpowder, the musket battalion she leads will probably be completely reduced to a waste

"Okay, in that case, let's prepare a little, and we'll go to Luha Island in three days' time, Andrew, and you will follow us as a guide."

Andrew hurriedly said when he heard this

"My lord, I see."

Three days later, a merchant ship sailed back and forth from the Karaos channel, which was not too much concern for many people in the Carlos Islands, after all, even now that it had changed owners.

But life still needs to go on

In contrast, in the port, all the porters in the port are now owned by the Freedom Gang, and all the bosses with the Freedom Gang can be regarded as finally getting ahead

However, unlike in the past, everything he did needed to be in the Karos Islands, not precisely under the command and control of the barbarian army.

Luha Island is an island in the middle of the ocean, and from a distance it doesn't look too big, but it has a volcano and billowing smoke from time to time

This is the most famous volcano on the island of Rüha, which has not erupted for hundreds of years. But some of the smoke that flows out every year moistens the earth, so a large amount of sulfuric acid and some other ores and minerals are formed

The island uses ores and resources to trade with foreign countries, so although it is an island in the sea, their living conditions are not really bad

People from the north and south gather here to buy some supplies, and the most popular natural person in this Luha Island is food.

The caravan led by Chen Zhang slowly moved forward

When we arrived at the port, we found that it was not too big, and there were already seven or eight ships parked here

Chen Zhang's people just got off the ship, and someone will soon greet them, these are the people in charge of the port.

Their job is simple, in addition to managing the ships, but also to ask what kind of goods can still be sold, or what kind of goods are needed, and they can thread the needle through them, and in a way, they also act as an intermediary."

Of course, once the transaction is successful, they will also earn a fee from it. Although it costs some money

But this reduces the hassle of finding and collecting information for many businessmen

I have to say that it is still more cost-effective

"My lord, this is Luha Island."

Andrew lowered his eyebrows and raised his head, the port of the entire island of Luha showed a strange beauty and the subtlety of the East, and the buildings here seemed to be dressed up in a very festive manner

The clothes he wore were completely different from those in the East, and he was stunned and dumbfounded when he looked at everyone

To be honest, if they hadn't come to this overseas site, they would never have thought that the original house could be built like this, and people could wear such clothes, one by one, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.

"This is Luha Island, it looks quite prosperous, but, to be honest, it really can't be compared with our Dachang Empire."

"Of course, it's just an island."

Andrew hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly

The crowd continued to walk forward, and suddenly, there was a commotion coming from them.

When I looked up, I saw a man in a splendid costume with blond hair and blue eyes and bared teeth, grinning loudly.

Several of his men quickly grabbed a young girl.

The girl had a frightened look on her face, and her blonde neck showed her fair skin and delicate countenance.

Obviously, this is also a beautiful woman

An old man in the back shouted desperately, but was soon kicked to the ground by the guard.

The man laughed

"What's the matter, don't you know who young master I am in the entire Luha Island?"
