Chapter 268: Coal Mines and Iron Mines
There is a reef ahead, and small puddles have been washed out by the sea.
Under the protection of the tanned Shen Zhongyi's personal soldiers, Shen Qingyu and Zhao Yuzhu ran to the small puddle to catch the small fish that rushed up.
When the mother and daughter returned to the house to have fun, they heard Qi Yunxiao's new decision: "I'm going to go to Liuli Island." ”
Liuli Island is the new name they gave to the future Liuli Workshop.
Shen Qingyu also wanted to go, but Qi Yunxiao and his father and mother disagreed: "You are pregnant now, you can't run around." ”
Thinking about it, space and spiritual spring water are not omnipotent in the end, otherwise they would not have been the object of their worries again and again before.
That's it, and I won't go.
Qi Yunxiao said that he would go, ordered twenty hidden dragon guards, brought the spiritual spring water given by Shen Qingyu and various small pills and bottles of jerky, and set off.
Then Shen Qingyu began to study food with her mother while exploring the resort-like life of small seaside pleasures at the beach.
Shells in the shallows, crabs under the sand......
There's always something unexpected to get your hands on.
When the tide is high, the soldiers and the remaining Hidden Dragon Guards will make traps and catch fish......
The huge octopus was hooked into a long bamboo tube, and when the bamboo tube was pulled out, many octopuses were harvested.
Just right, a small barbecue is arranged.
When the octopus and oysters are grilled fragrantly, the children are the first to can't help it.
And the pro-soldiers and the hidden dragon guard next to them had a "learned" expression on their faces.
Although they didn't have the honor to eat the small barbecue grilled by the county lord himself, they could also buy the seasonings used by the county lord, and it would not be difficult to go back and roast some to eat.
Shen Qingyu ate to the fullest, and the children even had a round stomach.
Erbao's face was still unsatisfied: "Mother, I still want to eat tomorrow!" ”
Shen Qingyu looked at her with a smile: "Okay, let's see what seafood we can catch tomorrow, and I'll make it for you when the time comes." ”
At this time, there was not so much industrial pollution, and the way of fishing was very backward, so there was an abundance of seafood in the coastal waters.
Just when Shen Qingyu was worried about what to eat for three meals every day, Qi Yunxiao had already gone to Liuli Island.
When I went to the island, Qi Yunxiao found that this place was really backward enough.
Teenage children are still running naked on the beach!
Thanks to the fact that the weather here is not cold, the children do not feel that there is anything wrong with running bare, and they become a group of black loaches!
Adult men wear only calf-nose pants, and women even wear only a belly pocket and knee-length shorts to go out.
And just like that, the light clothes of many people were still patched......
Seeing the handsome Qi Yunxiao and the gloomy Hidden Dragon Guards, their eyes were full of surprise and envy!
Why do they have so many clothes? So long?
They're rich!
This one piece alone can make them a few belly pockets and knee-length shorts!
A daring fisherman came up and asked, "What are you here for?" ”
There was a hidden dragon guard named Tan Wanchun who knew the local language, and he came forward to negotiate, and after a while, Tan Wanchun brought the fishermen to report to Qi Yunxiao: "This person knows where we are going, I ask him to show us the way and give him a tael of silver." ”
Qi Yunxiao bowed: "Yes." ”
The man could understand Qi Yunxiao's nodding appearance, and immediately became overjoyed, and then listened to Tan Wanchun's language confirmation, and smiled so much that his face turned into a chrysanthemum.
The group followed the man into the mountains, and after walking for only two miles, they saw a black lump.
Qi Yunxiao's eyes lit up: Coal blocks!
On this black coal, there are reflective sequins, shining with fine light.
Qi Yunxiao remembered that his father-in-law said that this is the best quality coal!
It is resistant to burning, has a light taste, and has a high temperature.
"This is it." Qi Yunxiao stopped and pointed to the coal.
Tan Wanchun then asked the fisherman, "Where did this thing come from?" ”
The fisherman explained: "It's at the foot of that mountain. A lot. ”
Qi Yunxiao looked at the terrain around and pointed to the gentle slope recessed by the mountain: "Then our workshop will be built there." ”
Everyone looked over there, it can block the wind, and it also has a certain height, so it is not afraid of flooding the workshop at high tide, it is a good place!
Then Qi Yunxiao began to divide the labor, and asked the Hidden Dragon Guards to find their own people, first build wooden houses that can live in people, find blacksmith shops that can make iron, and find places where they can buy food, vegetables and fruits......
But Qi Yunxiao looked at the fisherman and said to Tan Wanchun: "You tell him, I want to see the person in charge here." ”
When the fisherman saw this group of people starting to do things separately, he was also puzzled, and then when he heard Qi Yunxiao say that he wanted to see the person in charge, he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
It was Tan Wanchun who smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, it's a good thing!" Blessed are you, folks from the neighborhood! It's going to make a lot of money! ”
Workers are always more cost-effective to use nearby.
You don't have to worry about food and housing, and it's close to home.
The person in charge here is the patriarch Bu Yuanhai, who is wearing clothes, although the clothes still have patches, they are neat.
Seeing Qi Yunxiao and his entourage, who were obviously richly dressed, they were stunned for a moment, and then they stepped forward to ask the reason.
Tan Wanchun smiled and explained the intention of his group, and then took the initiative to introduce the identity of his group.
Because it is no longer the boundary of Daqi, Tan Wanchun only said that his group is from Whale Island, and Qi Yunxiao is the young owner of Whale Island.
Whale Fall Island?
Bu Yuanhai hadn't heard of it.
But the sea is vast, there are more islands, and there are more islands that have never been heard of.
Bu Yuanhai didn't care where the whale landed on the island, just judging from the clothes and demeanor of these people, they were not ordinary people!
People are rich and capable, and they look burly and powerful...... If you can't afford to provoke it, then talk well.
So Bu Yuanhai soon knew what Qi Yunxiao and his party thought: they spent money to ask local fishermen to help with things and pay them.
After listening to this, Bu Yuanhai frowned: "Can you not pay the salary?" Give grain cloth or something? ”
After Qi Yunxiao and Bu Yuanhai talked, they quickly understood: Dare to love the inconvenient transportation on this island, and it is not easy to buy some cloth and daily necessities to come in, and it is naturally expensive.
If Qi Yunxiao could pay his wages with things like cloth and food, they would be very happy.
Qi Yunxiao was naturally willing.
If their ships come to transport glass products in the future, and send their own people's daily necessities for food and lodging along the way, and then bring some as their wages, it will be more economical!
So soon, the agreement was reached.
There are blacksmith shops on the island, and iron tools are quite abundant.
Qi Yunxiao learned the reason after an in-depth understanding: there is actually an iron mine on this island!
That's a ...... What a surprise!
In landlocked countries, iron ore has always been controlled because it can make weapons, who would have thought that there would be iron ore on this lonely island?!
