In fact, they themselves could not tell where the three major fleets that had been busy in the East China Sea had arrived, but they had arrived at the same place twice before and after, and the way of arrival was similar. Except for the signs of death in the sky...... Beyond the Polaris is still shining, all in pursuit of a family of humpback whales.

Unlike the profits of gold, silver, copper and iron, which are a sudden riches, the stable income of the China Resources at sea, in addition to normal trade, is the whaling industry.

Not a single part of a giant whale is wasted, not even rotting internal organs, which are special fertilizers. Although the smell is quite bad, it has a significant effect on the increase in soybean yield.

As for whale meat, it is the most popular meat supplement in the Northland Factory. Not only is it cheap, but it also guarantees a large supply. In a primary coal and steel industry like the Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant, the daily consumption of meat is very huge, and the traditional large livestock is not enough to ensure the supply of slave laborers.

Meat protein supplementation is a mix-and-match model, in which whale meat occupies a very important part.

As for whale oil, it goes without saying.

On two occasions, however, the whaling ships crossed the vast expanse of the sea, one of which was more risky and pursued them directly from the warm current south of Fuso. By the time I found something wrong, I was already far away, and finally I stubbornly relied on canned food, bean sprouts, whale meat, and seafood all the way to the end of the East China Sea.

After arriving at the end of the East China Sea, he chose to go north to chase the North Star, and then found that the star map and sea conditions actually matched the information of the expedition team that arrived in the Ghost Country earlier. It then headed north, encountered another current, and headed west. After less than eight days, I finally saw the island where the Tatar people were entrenched.

And this island is an important timber base of the China Resources.

After finding the port wharf and getting rest and supplies, the whaling ship finally returned to Fuso, and finally handed over the navigation materials along the way to Wang Wansui.

Unlike this thrilling crossing of the ocean, the other fleet was much safer. Because the earliest purpose of the fleet was to exchange gold and meteorite iron from the Wandering Ghost Country, and then continue eastward into the polar circle to hunt polar bears. However, after the discovery of the Dwarven tribe on the narrow peninsula in the east, the fleet gained the "friendship" of this tribe after exchanging several slaves from the Dwarven tribe.

After staying for ten days, he learned that this dwarven tribe was at war with another tribe. The fleet was mostly made up of combatants, and soon because of their "friendship", they helped the dwarven tribe defeat their opponents.

This defeated dwarven tribe made a living by hunting cattle, and also hunted brown bears and wild wolves.

Recorded on paper, it is "30,000 Dingkou and 2,000 victorious soldiers".

Because of this operation, the "end of the East China Sea" was inadvertently discovered, a large number of seals and fur seals were marked, and there were more than 10,000 wild herds, these resources, in the eyes of China Resources, are far more precious than gold and silver.

After Wang Wansui collected this information, he quickly spread the news to Jiangyin, which quickly passed the news to Wuhan. The live calf was sent to Luoyang in the form of "tribute". At the end of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, it can be said to be an extremely inspiring thing.

After Lao Zhang read the information from the East China Sea, the only thing that is certain is that the fleet successfully arrived at the east coast of the Pacific Ocean, and it may still be at the intersection of the North Pacific Current on the east coast, which is probably the junction between Canada and Ah Mei.

The Dwarven tribe slaves they bought were most likely a branch of the Eskimos, and the other Dwarven tribe they defeated was most likely the Eskimos living in southeastern Alaska.

As for those bulls, Zhang De can directly conclude that they are North American bison, a close relative of the Siberian bison. This bison, which is huge in size and shoulders higher than hips, can basically be said to be extinct in the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty. The local tyrants who were able to pay tribute to the cattle every year were often the Sai people who came from the west, or were vassals of the Western Turks.

After the Tang Dynasty rebuilt the Silk Road, there were people from the Flynn Kingdom who brought their oxen to Dunhuang. In other words, on this continent under Lao Zhang's feet, the calf should still be in Europa......

"If I'm not mistaken, walruses should be in the millions, and the bison should be in the tens of millions."

As an engineering dog that has been wavering on the offshore oil drilling platform, Lao Zhang has dealt with his peers who have seen Ah Mei, including a canine engineering dog produced by the country, and the ancestor is the master who has earned the "Indian scalp bonus".

However, Lao Zhang can't confirm that the North American bison is really huge, but judging from the information transmitted from the East China Sea, at least the walruses must be a huge number.

The number of walruses obtained by the fleet returning to the voyage was quite large, and the walrus ivory was even full.

Judging from the walrus tusks alone, this adventure is quite rewarding.

Because walrus ivory is also known as tusks, like ivory, rhino horn, and bull horn, it is a special material or luxury item with a considerable price.

Lao Zhang judged from the number of walruses, maybe the engineering dog you saw should not be blown, it is very likely that the North American bison really has a population of more than 10 million.

Judging by the cowhide beef jerky beef bones and horns alone, it was enough for the fleet to carry out this big adventure.

"It seems that the price of lumber is going to rise again."

Lao Zhang's judgment is accurate, and some people bought out the original agreed price of timber in the first month at a premium of two or even three times. Some madmen in Yangzi County even paid a premium of five times or six times, and in the lunar month when the New Year was approaching, Li County Commander of Yangzi County got more than a dozen applications for the construction of a wharf for the coming year in just a few days when the seventeenth year of Zhenguan was about to pass.

Just looking at these dozen or so applications, you can ensure that at least about 200,000 yuan will be invested next year. These investments alone will allow Yangzi County to absorb more than 20,000 laborers.

During this period, there is no tax levied, only the profits from the construction of houses and farmhouses, and the financial revenue of Yangzi County can ensure that it will not lose to Runzhou on the other side of the river.

"At present, there are many wharves and ports being built on the Yangtze River in the East China Sea, and the Ministry of Industry should take this opportunity to take advantage of it."

"In the old years, I wanted to buy a port authority, but the rank was undecided, and some people were not convinced, so I gave up. According to this year's market, you have to accept it if you don't accept it. The Ministry of Industry has to meddle not only in port affairs, but also in shipping, and the benefits of this are needless to say. The most important thing is that since we are officials in the court, if we can share the worries for the monarch, are we afraid that we can't be in the emperor's heart? ”

"Anyway, the city division is not going to be, where is there enough manpower, now they are all recruited from outside, and they are not afraid of accidents."

"Afraid? As long as you can hand over the money, no matter how big the matter is, you can suppress it. I have entrusted someone to go to Wuhan to inquire about the news, and Zhang Jianghan also revealed the tone, and it is expected that shipbuilding will be regarded as a career in the past few years. Since shipbuilding is booming, and the Ministry of Industry is in it, how can it be cheap for nothing, and let the Ministry of Civil Affairs show its face in vain? ”

"It's just...... The Ministry of Industry still lacks some access in the local area. ”

"What are you afraid of? Danyang County Duke has a son, isn't he a county magistrate in Yangtze County? As an official in the same dynasty, if there is something under the alley, why not? Yangzi County is different from other counties, the Ministry of Civil Affairs can not give any benefits, our Ministry of Industry, there are always a lot of famous craftsmen, and there is a construction team, which is currently the most suitable for the governance of Yangzi County. ”

"When will you be contacted?"

"This situation is not good, you still need to go to the book, and there will be a plan after the New Year."
