Chapter 315: A Meaningless Voyage

To be honest, Elder Li is a complete "nautical idiot"! But it's a miracle that he came back alive from two consecutive voyages!

For a long time, Wang Dafu was very curious about a question, how did Elder Li return to Lvliu Town unharmed twice in a row? Is it really just luck?

With this question and full of resentment, Wang Dafu was invited to Lijia Village, and the origin of resentment does not need to be wordy, right?

The environment of Lijia Village is actually very good, although it can not be called a mountain and a river, Lijia Village is on the seaside, there are no mountains around, but it can be called surrounded by water.

Elder Li deliberately chose the location of his village on a seaside plateau, with a high cliff to the south and a rough sea at the bottom of the cliff.

The east side of Lijia Village is also the sea, but the terrain on this side is much more relaxed, with a very wide and beautiful sandy beach, and Wang Dafu's "Hope on the Water" was built here by the Green Willow Dock and Ligang Wharf presided over by the shipbuilding master Liangshan Haohan Jade Pole Meng Kang;

Not far to the north of Lijia Village, is the Hesong River, originally according to the normal development, Lijia Village must reach at least a fifth-level village, and its actual scope can be next to the Hesong River, but Elder Li played a big trick here, he took advantage of the characteristics of the terrain here that is high in the north and low in the south, and dug a small canal, so that this small canal passes directly from the west of Lijia Village, and then obliquely intersperses with the highlands in the south of Lijia Village, causing an artificial waterfall. At the same time, Lijia Village was completely surrounded by rivers and the sea, and according to Wang Dafu's words, it created an isolated island on land!

There is also a small story in this, when Elder Li just proposed to dig this small canal, Wang Dafu once asked: "Elder Li, what is the purpose of this small canal?" At most, it can have a certain defensive effect, and given the size of the canal, this effect may not be as good as an ordinary moat! Isn't that a waste? ”

As a result, Elder Li replied angrily, "Mayor Town, this is just my personal hobby!" Besides, I dug the canal and didn't let you pay for it, why are you in a hurry? I used the funds for the construction of my own village! ”

"Damn! Your construction funds are not yet from me! Elder Li's answer made Wang Dafu roll his eyes vigorously, and he was slandered in his heart, but he immediately remembered another question: "By the way, Elder Li, the canal you dug is very close to the village!" So what will happen when Lijia Village grows bigger and bigger in the future, beyond the scope of this canal? ”

Elder Li showed a natural expression on his face: "Of course it's to dig a new artificial canal...... Wang Dafu heard this, he fainted directly, and he couldn't get up for a long time. Later, when people visit the city of a thousand rivers, they can't help but marvel at Wang Dafu's generosity in unison, and some people will even scold Wang Dafu for luxury, every time at this time, Wang Dafu will always look up to the sky and sigh: "Wronged, I am innocent, I am so wronged~~~"

The current Lijia Village naturally does not have the momentum of the City of a Thousand Rivers, in fact, Wang Dafu can't imagine that this inconspicuous small village will become a famous City of a Thousand Rivers in the Eastern Continent in the future, the only thing he thinks about now is to talk to Elder Li, there is a question about Lijia Village's delay in coming up with decent results!

When Wang Dafu established the first batch of four affiliated villages, there was a very clear development goal plan.

The short-term goal of Qingchou Valley is to become a small demon settlement and medicinal herb planting area, and the short-term goal is to become a small demon settlement and a small and medium-sized medicinal herb planting base; The medium-term goal is to become a refuge for large demon clans and the main cash crop planting base in the green willow area; The long-term goal is to become the main large-scale demon clan gathering place in the Eastern Continent and the cash crop planting base in the Green Willow region!

The short-term goal of Lijia Village is to become the processing center of water-related things in Luliu Town; The medium-term goal is to become a major base for water affairs; The long-term goal is to become a maritime base in the Greenwillow region.

Yuejiazhuang's immediate goal is to build a small military base; The medium-term goal is to become a common cereal production base and militia training center in the Greenwillow region; The long-term goal is the brewing raw material base and large military base in the green willow area!

The short-term goal of the Tongye tribe is to become the animal husbandry center of Luliu Town; The medium-term goal is to become the main livestock base in the Greenwillow region; The long-term goal is to become the center of influence of the Green Willow region in the Dangentropy Mountain Prairie.

Among these four plans, the short-term goals of Qingchou Valley and Yuejiazhuang have been fully completed, and the second medium-term goal has basically begun to take shape; The short-term goal of the Tongye tribe has also been completed, and the medium-term goal has been a little deviated in the process of being realized, but this deviation has moved closer to the long-term goal in advance, although it is unlikely to become a real animal husbandry base, but because of the emergence of the market, it is very likely to become the commercial center of the Dangentropy Mountain Prairie in advance, which is also a good thing for Wang Dafu!

According to Wang Dafu's original idea, Lijia Village should start from the most basic, first produce the lowest level of small fishing boats, pay attention to the development of freshwater fisheries and inland transportation in the Hesong River, and on this basis, appropriately develop some small-scale offshore fisheries, offshore shipping, marine aquaculture, and various other related industries, etc., so as to gain rich experience and developed economy in the future, and then develop in the ocean-going business.

But because of Elder Li's inexplicable dream, the development of Lijia Village has begun to come to an inexplicable and serious deformity! Lijia Village is still an agricultural village that relies on farming, but it blindly develops large ships, and Elder Li himself is constantly trying to sail again and again, but this kind of voyage is neither for military, nor for trade, or even for exploration, it can be said that there is no clear purpose at all, it is simply for the sake of sailing!

What Wang Dafu couldn't tolerate the most was that Elder Li's long-distance voyage could not bring any gains! Yes, there is no gain, not even such a thing as establishing a waterway, because Elder Li is a pure "nautical idiot", so he never knows what a logbook is, nor does he know what to record in the process of sailing, the most ridiculous thing is that every time he arrives at the place, the second time he consciously looks for it, he will never find it, because he doesn't know which direction his ship drove last time......

In his plan, the basic mission of the affiliated villages should be to become an important part of the main town, supplementing the various functions of the main town, rather than uncontrollably consuming a large number of resources of the main town.

Originally, Elder Li pulled Wang Dafu to Lijia Village today, because he was going to make a third voyage and invited Wang Dafu to watch the ceremony, but Wang Dafu's plan was to talk to Elder Li, and now he is discovering more and more, I don't know why Elder Li, who was not too much wrong except for being a little verbose in the era of Luliu Village, can be called an old man who is stable and even very wise, but after coming to Lijia Village, he has become very crazy!

Elder Li's voyage was very crazy in itself, and there was no clear goal in the first place! Elder Li just heard that somewhere in the sea, there was a group of beautiful women who liked to dance hula, so he had the idea of going to watch the hula, but where should the destination be, what dangers might be there along the way, and how long it would take, Elder Li didn't know anything about this kind of basic questions! The most unbelievable thing is that Elder Li doesn't even know what hula is!

"This is a waste of the town's gold!" When Wang Dafu knew about this situation, he said the above words expressionlessly.

To be honest, Wang Dafu had already felt angry at Elder Li's actions at this time, because Elder Li's voyage was not only aimless, but also full of danger! Elder Li is a "nautical idiot", which is not only reflected in the voyage, but also in the preliminary preparations, Elder Li does not know what kind of preparations to make to ensure their needs during the voyage, every time he is to pull a boatload of food, vegetables Fortunately, he also knows to bring fresh water! And then set off aimlessly!

"It's not a voyage, it's suicide! Or take someone else with you to commit suicide! Although Wang Dafu respected Elder Li very much, he also reached the limit of tolerance for this kind of crazy behavior, he didn't know the first voyage, the second voyage was because he was negligent and gave the wrong order, this third voyage, Wang Dafu was not ready to approve it anyway!

The whole day was spent in the argument between Wang Dafu and Elder Li, and according to the words of the bystanders, it should have been spent in the quarrel between the two of them!

Wang Dafu did not agree to Elder Li's request for the third voyage in any case, and ordered that no one should go to sea without his permission!

And after Elder Li heard this order, he was like a rooster pinched by the neck, and he yelled with a red face: "Mayor Town, you can't do this! I am very well prepared for this voyage! There will be absolutely no risk! ”

Hearing Elder Li's defense, Wang Dafu glanced at him coldly, and countered disdainfully: "Fully prepared? Elder Li, it's not that I underestimate you, do you really know what kind of preparations need to be made for a long voyage? ”

Hearing this, Elder Li immediately seemed to be blocked, and it took a long time before he said, "This~~ This, Mayor Town, I admit that I don't know much about this stuff!" But ......"

Wang Dafu asked with a sinking face: "But what is it?" ”

Elder Li argued, "Mayor Town, this time is different! This time I recruited several master sailors in a row, and although I didn't know what to do, they did! ”

"Hmph~~ What about the master of navigation, at your level, do you really know what kind of person is a master sailor?" Wang Dafu was full of slander in his heart, but when he said it, he still saved some face for Elder Li: "Elder Li, it has nothing to do with this, the problem is that even if your fleet can come back safe and sound, what is the point of your voyage?" ”

Elder Li didn't understand what Wang Dafu was talking about, looked at Wang Dafu puzzled, and repeated unconsciously, "What's the point?" ”

Wang Dafu immediately continued: "Yes! Elder Li, what's the point of your voyage like this? Are you for trade, or for conquest, or for a new shipping lane? You have to have a reason, right? ”

Elder Li finally understood what Wang Dafu meant, and immediately shouted feverishly, "Ideal! Mayor Mare, my voyage is for the ideal! Isn't this reason enough? ”

Wang Dafu slapped the table excitedly, and said equally loudly: "Not enough, of course it's not enough!" Is that any reason? As he spoke, he stood up, waved his hands and said loudly: "Elder Li, the residents of our town have paid a lot of taxes, and it is not for us managers to squander them wantonly!" Ideal! What is the reason for this? After a slight pause, he continued: "In order to take one person's ideals, we have to make all of us pay the price, wantonly squandering everyone's property, you are a crime, a crime, you know! ”

Elder Li twisted his neck and said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of crime, what kind of crime I am spending is not other people's money, I am spending my own construction funds, this is my own money!" ”

Wang Dafu showed anger on his face and said loudly: "......"

In this way, the two of them argued for a whole day, but neither of them could convince the other party, although Elder Li as a subordinate could not force Wang Dafu, but Wang Dafu was not willing to embarrass Elder Li too much, after all, in the era of Lvliu Village, Elder Li provided a lot of help to Wang Dafu and silently made a lot of contributions to the development of Lvliu Village.

To be honest, Wang Dafu really didn't understand why that wise old man had become so crazy now, and Elder Li didn't even worry about the construction of Lijia Village at all now! In fact, among the five affiliated villages in Luliu Town, Lijia Village is second only to the Tongye tribe, and there are even more than 40 households at the beginning, which can be promoted to second-level villages as long as they develop a little, but now even Yuejiazhuang and Novice Village, which only have more than ten households at the beginning stage, have developed to second-level villages, but Lijia Village is still a first-class village, and the population has even declined!

Because it was getting late, Wang Dafu saw that he could not convince Elder Li, so he simply decided to stay in Lijia Village for one night and talk to Elder Li in detail tomorrow, but he didn't seem to notice that when Elder Li heard that he planned to pay attention to the night, a trace of extremely strange light flashed in his eyes, and his eyeballs seemed to become bright red......
