In the eyes of the big shopkeeper of the Lu family firm, the importance of whale oil does not need to be said, and the flow of cotton cloth is too useful. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Previously, the Lu military group distributed 4 horses and 2 horses of hemp silk to the sergeants every year, which was equivalent to 52 meters and 26 meters in that world.

Because hemp silk and the like are not durable, they must be distributed every year.

Later, after changing to Jibei cloth, that is, cotton cloth, you can only send two horses, if you change to Liuqiu cotton cloth, one horse is enough, and you can also report according to the military salary of two horses, which is saved, but it is your own.

So, they had to buy it themselves, because they could send out their ships.

As long as it is said to be a naval exercise, as soon as the military flag of Lu Zi is hung out, which checkpoint dares to stop the collection of taxes? ! Who would dare to search on a warship?!

Therefore, the chief shopkeeper of the Lu family firm decided to go and see it in person, so he asked Lu Wende, the head of the Lu family, the envoy of Jinghu Manufacturing, for instructions.

Lu Wende was full of joy at this time, and the **** Liu Quan no longer dared to go out of the water village easily, relying on the heavy bed crossbows and stone cannons on the shore fortress to defend, so that Lu Wende's warships did not dare to approach easily.

Of course, he must also obey Pingzhang Jia's instructions, and he can't start a war lightly, so he can't force him too much.

Lu Wende now has a hot relationship with Wang Wan, the commander of the Ezhou Naval Army, and the two sides frequently move around on armaments, and almost become a military brother unit, but the Great Song Dynasty has never liked the phenomenon that the generals of the army have too close personal relationships, and the two of them have to avoid it.

The old shopkeeper arranged by Lu Wende has been around for many years, and he has followed him since he started selling charcoal, although he is older than himself, but. But he has always been loyal and considers the Lu family everywhere, so Lu Wende obeys his suggestions.

Lu Wende said with concern: "I have been going to more than 3,000 miles of waterway------ I don't know if my body can withstand the bumps of the wind and waves?" Why don't you let a small one go! ”

The name of the big shopkeeper of the Lu family trading house is Liang Xin, and he said with a smile: "I have heard before that the goods there are extremely easy to sell. And it seems to be more suitable for my Lu family------ the dried whale meat and the things that beg for fans, I heard that it can be stored for several years without rotting!

There are also the Liuqiu leather goods and the Liuqiu cotton cloth------ and sea salt are secondary, and they only want iron, cotton, and cold water and stones, I dare not say that they are everywhere, but it is also a breeze for us.

So, the master, how about a river and sea drill? ”

Lu Wende said nonchalantly: "It's okay, by the way, I will send some things to Pingzhang, his birthday is coming soon." So, you can do it together. ”

In just a few days, twenty sand boats with two thousand materials and the goods needed were prepared, and along with Guo Ziren's sea boats, they went all the way down the Yangtze River.

Guo Ziren memorized it attentively, from Ezhou City to the mouth of the Yangtze River. They took only four days while going up. But it took a full month!

He had been away from the island for more than two months, and he missed his companions very much.

He wasn't worried at all that there were too many goods on the twenty two-thousand-gauge sand boats, which would make Liuqiu Island unable to exchange it------ and he wouldn't be able to figure out what monster pieces the master would come up with, and it was very useful, so that the merchant had to take more goods in exchange.

Liang Xin, the chief shopkeeper of the Lu family firm, is in his fifties. Not only did he have a lot of experience, but his body was still strong, and after passing through the strait, he arrived at Liuqiu Island in a few days.

Along the way, it was really like what the young man said before. There were no pirates at all, and there were still a lot of merchant ships coming and going.

The young man said that his master sent his team to fight pirates everywhere, so that there was peace here, but in Liang Xin's opinion, it was the flag of the navy hanging on the ship that made the pirates retreat!

They traveled south along the west coast of Liuqiu Island, and in a few days they came to the Badaohe area.

Along the way, that Liang Xin sighed that the beautiful scenery of this Liuqiu Island is really very different from the two sides of the Yangtze River, and it is a pity that the population is too sparse.

When he arrived at the so-called Badaohe area, the scene was immediately different, he saw that there was a large area of water on the seashore, and then he looked up, there were more than twenty large windmills constantly driving the water to the water above, and then above there was the third water surface, where thousands of people seemed to be pushing the white sea salt with wooden clippers!

Pile after pile, it's really white sea salt!

Liang Xin built a pergola and looked carefully in the sun, no wonder they could sell sea salt so cheaply, it turned out that it was really not to bring down the well salt in Sichuan!

At that time, it can be used as ballast.

At the top of that large expanse of water, there are rows of houses, but I don't understand why such a high chimney was built, is it a blacksmith shop?

No, there are those who emit black smoke and there are those who emit white smoke.

After sailing for a while, he came to the mouth of the Badao River, Liang Xin couldn't help but be surprised, the wharf here is not small, although it is not as good as the wharf in Ezhou City, but it is far larger than the ordinary county seat.

There are also 100 large sea ships docked on the dock, and all kinds of strange objects on the dock are swinging around with long arms, and they can even lift goods!

There was still labor pulling behind the strange object, and it kept turning, and the people on board looked straight at it------

Guo Ziren was there to care about them strangely at this time, he stood at the bow of his boat, stretched out his arms at the observation post on the fortress at the mouth of the river and made various movements,

This is designed internally by the partners themselves, in fact, the main reason is that Zhang Depei always keeps comparing and showing to everyone, and slowly, everyone is familiar with each other.

Guo Ziren could barely see someone at the observation post, and there were flashes of light in the sun, and he knew that Zhang Depei must be looking at him with a telescope.

Zhang Guoan's family officially set up a team integrating reconnaissance and communication, so Zhang Depei was the team leader, and he also gave him a telescope!

Since then, he has been treated as a treasure, and no one else will give him a play.

At the observation post, Zhang Depei happily put down the binoculars and happily said to his teammates: "Go and report to the master's house, Guo Ziren is back, and all of them are carrying good iron, cotton and cold water stones, adding up to thousands of tons, go quickly!" ”

Then, he observed the people who were approaching the dock.

Hehe, he likes to watch other people's movements from a distance away, which gives him a sense of superiority.

He saw that the people were just as strange as the others were to the ground of the dock, and some were also crouching on the ground and touching it.

As mentioned earlier, when they were able to excavate volcanic ash, they used a certain amount of lime and gypsum to make porosine cement------ which is a type of cement that is particularly suitable for humid environments, and like Romanesque cement, when they are hardened, the wetter they are, the stronger they become.

In this way, the mass production of cement has surged all at once.

Buildings that had been suspended for construction began to be built at a rapid pace, and the original bamboo-and-wood houses were only used to accommodate new workers.

Moreover, Zhang Guoan also understood why ancient China did not invent cement first, so that in the 19th century, the method of adding glutinous rice juice to Sanhe soil was still used.

The reason is simple, not close to the volcano. (To be continued.) )
