Chapter 753: Plan Drought Shipbuilding
The reason why Jiang Xingchen wooed the Wang family was to explore overseas, and this time the horse found rubber was completely unexpected. His plan was to take over the sap island first and get the rubber.
Jiang Xingchen knew that it was not so simple to receive overseas islands, and those overseas forces would definitely stumble in the middle. He hadn't wanted to do it so early. At the very least, we had to wait until enough bombs were made and ballistas were installed on the ship...... But now with killer whales, it's different, with this ocean overlord following, I don't dare to say what I will do to receive those islands, at least the rubber should be able to be safely transported back.
Wang Yan was a little excited when he heard Jiang Xingchen's plan, Jiang Xingchen had not given any tasks since he had formed an alliance with the Wang family. If it was a few days ago, he must have been very worried about receiving the Flowing Sap Tree Island, although the grenade was powerful, but after all, the number was limited, and it would definitely be quite dangerous if the other party obstructed it. But now with killer whales, everything is different, as long as this ocean overlord follows, it is absolutely foolproof.
And being able to command killer whales in battle is an exciting thing for anyone who runs long distances at sea.
"Don't worry, sir, our Wang family will definitely handle this matter!" Wang Yan finally promised.
Jiang Xingchen nodded, and roughly told Wang Yan about the method of taking rubber. In fact, he didn't understand it, he just knew that he just cut a hole in the trunk and catch the juice.
After explaining Wang Yan, Jiang Xingchen walked out of the cabin, jumped on the back of the killer whale again, and sent out several clusters of gathering vitality in a row, and then explained that it followed Wang Yan.
The killer whale was not happy to leave Jiang Xingchen at first, and the attraction of gathering vitality was too great for him. Leaving means having no vitality to eat for a long time.
However, Jiang Xingchen told him that as long as there were more benefits after completing the task, this guy nodded very undisciplinedly!
Finally reached the closest sea area to the Cursed Lands. Since there was no port, cargo ships had to be parked at a great distance from the shore. Han Xiaowu had already received the news and had prepared a small boat in advance to wait here.
When Han Xiaowu and some of the private soldiers saw the behemoth cruising in the distance, their state was no different from that of the sailors on the ship, and their jaws dropped in shock.
Everyone knows that Lord Jiang can domesticate demon beasts, and there are many star collars. But even the killer whales of the sea overlord can be tamed, which is really somewhat unexpected.
If it is said that they can accept the killer whale Han Xiaowu, they can still accept it. After all, everyone was brought out of Xingchen and knew Jiang Xingchen's ability. When they saw the 520,000 yuan stones piled up like a hill, they were all shocked and speechless.
"Five hundred and twenty thousand. This is more than 500 million citrine coins, do you want to be so exaggerated......" Han Xiaowu's eyes straightened, and he was speechless for a long time. At the beginning, Lord Jiang only transferred 50,000 yuan, and this change of hands was more than ten times. It's too ...... Han Xiaowu thought for a long time. I couldn't find any words to describe the mood at the moment. With so much Yuan Shi in cash, no one has ever seen this scene.
Under everyone's horrified gaze, piles of Yuan Stone were loaded onto small boats, transported to the shore, and thrown into the Cursed Lands.
It took a long day of busy work before all the yuan stones were transported. Wang Yan and the others said hello to Jiang Xingchen and started their return journey. The killer whale reluctantly swayed with Jiang Xingchen for a long time, and grinded three more pieces of vitality. Then they followed the ship away.
The old man was also very bored, and he hadn't really ridden a killer whale once until now.
From the sea to the land. Jiang Xingchen had a feeling of two worlds, and was silent for a long time before asking Han Xiaowu about the progress of the land of curses.
Han Xiaowu's description made Jiang Xingchen very satisfied, the excavation of the river is going very fast, and the progress has exceeded half, and it seems that it will definitely be opened before October this year.
"Now we are not short of funds, if we can speed up the progress, we will try to speed it up, and the sooner in advance, the better!" Jiang Xingchen said. It's not that he's in a hurry, the main thing is that cement, glass, and paper all need limestone. With the development of the star collar, the demand for limestone is definitely increasing, and it is best to develop it early.
In addition, the agent of the paper has been sent, and many merchants on the road are waiting. This is also the bulk of the profits of the stars in the future.
Han Xiaowu nodded and said, "With so much money, it must be no problem to speed up the progress...... But ......"
Seeing that Han Xiaowu was a little hesitant, he chuckled in his heart and asked, "But what, is it something else?"
"There are no other difficulties, mainly since last year, there has been no rain here, the water level of the river has dropped very quickly, although it does not dry up, but almost all the irrigation canals we dug are useless!"
"Drought!" Jiang Xingchen frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart.
"The year before last was a blizzard, last year it was a heavy rainstorm, and this year it was a drought. What's wrong with this world?" Jiang Xingchen looked puzzled.
"Is it okay to grow grass and grain in the Cursed Land?" Jiang Xingchen asked, the irrigation canals were all abandoned, and there was no way to divert water from the river, so there must be a problem with the planting.
"It's okay for the time being, but it's hard to say in the future. These days, the orcs work the hardest, and many areas far away from the river are irrigated by them!" Han Xiaowu explained.
"That's good, go back and pay those orcs more...... The rainy season is coming soon, and the drought problem will be solved soon!" Jiang Xingchen said in his mouth, but for some reason, he didn't have any bottom in his heart.
"I think so too!" Han Xiaowu nodded.
"The speed of the project needs to be accelerated, money is not a problem!" Jiang Xingchen patted Han Xiaowu on the shoulder.
Due to the news of the drought, Jiang Xingchen didn't speak much all the way back, and his previous good mood was gone, and he was a little irritable.
When he was about to reach the cursed land, the old man came over and talked about those Yuan stones.
"Boy, according to me, don't use Yuanshi for the time being! The consumption of yuan stones is getting bigger and bigger, and it will definitely be more difficult to exchange yuan stones in the future. Now it's better to save the more than 500,000 yuan of stone first, and when you use it in the future. ”
"That's right!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, he had already noticed this problem. To be honest, he was reluctant to move these yuan stones, and he realized from the time he fired the molten glass that the future development was likely to consume a large amount of yuan stones...... However, money is now needed in all directions, and if you want to pull up the shipyard right away, there is no rich money available.
"Boy, I didn't say you, what you have in your hand is something of value! more than enough to exchange for funds!" said the old man.
"You mean...... Technology!" Jiang Xingchen frowned and pondered.
"Technology is one thing, papermaking can make a lot of money, you don't have to put it out. But what about cement, your current production is not enough for your own use, and you still want to sell it, how many years will you have to wait...... And the formula is sold, and the limestone is not easy to find, who can come and grab your limestone?"
The old man paused for a moment and continued: "In addition, you still have hundreds of catties of level 27 demon beast meat in your hand, how long do you want to keep it?"
"Demon beast meat, I am going to set up a guard team, and I need a master to explore the ocean in the future...... As for the cement, I promised the Duan family that I would give priority to supplying them in the future, and I would not pass on the secret recipe for the time being!" Jiang Xingchen was also a little helpless.
The old man shook his head speechlessly, and said, "Even if you forget about cement, you can't lose your trust in others!" But there is no need for you to keep so much demon beast meat...... The strength of your private soldier itself is not high, and a few pieces of demon beast meat are enough for everyone to absorb. If you have to give one pound per person, it is a complete waste.
"Makes sense!" Jiang Xingchen thought about it, it was really like what the old man said, it was completely unnecessary to keep so much demon beast meat.
"In this way, I will leave a start-up capital of 100,000 yuan stone for this side first...... When I go back, I'll start selling some demon beast meat!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"Hehe, it's your own business! Don't tell me, I don't understand!" the old man waved his hand and left.
"This old fellow!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head helplessly......
After returning to the Cursed Land, Jiang Xingchen immediately found the young master of the Mu family and proposed a plan to build a shipyard.
"This ......" The young master of the Mu family hesitated a little, and did not immediately nod as Jiang Xingchen imagined, but said: "Sir, it's easy to talk about building a small boat, but a big ship ...... Design, raw materials, transportation, everything is ......"
Jiang Xingchen waved his hand and said, "It's not a problem, I'll arrange the raw materials and transportation...... As for the design, what do you think this is?" As he spoke, Jiang Xingchen put the design of the seven-story treasure ship he took from the Wang family in front of the young master of the Mu family.
"It's ...... The design of the seven-story treasure ship!God, sir, you actually got this ......" The young master of the Mu family exclaimed, the seven-story treasure ship is only available overseas by big forces, and a small island like their Mu family does not have such technology.
For people who are at sea all the year round, the boat is life, and the young master of the Mu family is the same, holding the design and can't put it down.
However, after a while, the young master of the Mu family put down the design drawings again and said, "Sir, I still don't dare to guarantee it." You know, our group of people are all young people, almost no more than twenty-five years old. If you can build a small boat, or build a small dock, and build a seven-story treasure ship, I'm afraid ......"
Jiang Xingchen smiled and asked, "What if I can find you a few old shipbuilders?"
"Can you find the old craftsman?" the young master of the Mu family widened his eyes.
"Of course!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, before He Yunxuan was calculated by Hei Lang, Hei Lang was sent to Nanjiang to receive a group of overseas slaves~ subordinates, including many old craftsmen!
"Sir, I'll try it, but I can't guarantee it!" said the young master of the Mu family.
"It's not a try, it's a sure success! I'm not afraid to sue you, I've already had a grudge with Hei Lang, you can't build a seven-story treasure ship in a day, we can't enter overseas!"
"What, you have a grudge against Hei Lang?" the young master of the Mu family exclaimed, his face full of surprise!
Jiang Xingchen didn't speak, just looked at the young master of the Mu family quietly.
For a moment, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the young master of the Mu family, and he stood up and bowed and said, "Sir, I will definitely go all out!" (To be continued......)
