Volume 1 Lonely Island Shipwreck Chapter 133 Dockyard and Light Armored Warship
Ye Mo arranged for Lin Fei to lead a team to explore the resources of the surrounding wild islands.
As for Ye Mo himself, he went to the Immortal Inheritance Hall in Qingyun Immortal City, preparing to buy a design drawing of a sea ship, and hired a shipbuilder to go to Ye's Immortal Village to build a dock.
The shipyard building cannot be delayed any longer.
Ye's Immortal Village currently has only one light pirate ship.
If the surrounding immortal villages sent a few sea ships to cut off the sea route between the Ye clan's main island and the affiliated islands, then no matter how many sub-islands the Ye clan occupied, it would be useless.
Moreover, once a naval battle broke out, one of Yecun's pirate ships was too weak, and once the pirate ship was damaged, it would be difficult to move an inch. Not even repairs can be carried out.
Ye Mo had already clearly felt that once a naval battle broke out, the lack of a dock would become a fatal weakness for the Ye Clan's Immortal Village.
Ye Mo spent most of the time in the Immortal Courtyard Inheritance Hall to buy a sea ship blueprint with two thousand spirit stones.
Of course, drawings alone are not enough, there must also be mature shipbuilders to build sea ships in a short time.
Subsequently, Ye Mo went to a Lu family shop in Xiancheng and found the shopkeeper Lu Tong. Lu Tong is a local monk in Qingyun Immortal City, he is familiar with this place, and he can help find a few suitable shipbuilders.
"City Lord Ye, you want to hire a shipbuilder?"
Lu Tong pondered for a moment and said, "This is not difficult, as long as you can afford the salary, there are still many shipbuilders in Qingyun Immortal City, and the old man also knows a few, so you can send someone to contact you." If you stay with me a little longer, you'll see."
He gave a few words to a fellow, who nodded and hurried away.
Afterwards, Lu Tong said to Ye Mo, "I don't know Ye Village, how is the situation recently?" He was very interested in the situation in the Aolai Islands.
"Preparations are being made to occupy a few more sub-islands, but it is inconvenient to lack sea-going vessels, so we need to build a dock as soon as possible.
Now in the Aolai sea area, there are few fairy villages and many spirit islands, and in a month or so, after all the villages have built the main island, they will definitely take action to grab the other sub-islands, and the battle is very fierce. ”
Ye Mo smiled bitterly and helplessly.
He did not hide it, and briefly explained the situation in the Aolai Islands.
"There must be a few more islands, and the more islands there are, the more resources there are. When your Immortal Village has resources, it will definitely attract a lot of casual cultivators to your Immortal Village. By the way, Ye's Immortal Village should need a lot of related supporting building facilities, are they all ready?"
Lu Tong's merchant Ben xìng had a seizure, and found that it was profitable inside, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't I build the dockyard just to build supporting facilities?"
Ye Mo said.
"Providing ships to and from the sea is only the most basic need, but a fairy village, and many shops, pill shops, magic weapon shops, and grocery stores for purchasing materials, etc., are always essential.
These three things are complete, and the scattered cultivators are willing to go to your Ye Clan's Immortal Village to go to sea to hunt the Kraken Beast. Otherwise, the supplies will not be replenished, and you will have to return to Qingyun Immortal City, how troublesome will it be?
Your Ye Clan's Spirit Island is too far away from Qingyun Immortal City, and if you teleport once, the cost will be as high as two spirit stones, and this spirit stone is also a great consumption in the eyes of scattered cultivators."
Lu Tong shook his head again and again.
"What's the matter, Lu Guan is interested in opening a shop in my Ye Village?"
Ye Mo couldn't help but say.
"Hehe, there is a refining pavilion in Ye Village that has this plan, and now it can only refine the first-order red fire sword armor, and there is no first-order equipment from other departments, and you don't have higher-level equipment.
You won't be able to open this spiritual artifact shop yourself. The same is true for the pill shop, which needs to be complete with all kinds of pills. Ye Cun didn't have the strength to refine it himself.
My Lu family has all the goods, and I can open the store to Ye Village. Of course, the tax burden is as preferential as possible, and you can't earn much spirit stones just in the past. ”
Lu Tong looked at Ye Mo with a smile.
"Okay, you open all kinds of shops to Ye Village, and I will exempt you from all taxes for one year, and even the rent of the shops in Xian Village will be exempted for you.
Ye Mo nodded lightly, "When the dock is built, after having a sea ship, Sanxiu can also go to sea to hunt demons." In this way, it is estimated that it will attract a lot of casual cultivators to participate in the fairy village. ”
Ye Mo is happy to see the Lu family open their shops to Ye Village, and there are merchants in the Immortal Village, so that they can provide the most basic spiritual objects for the villagers and casual cultivators.
"Good"
Lu Tong immediately smiled, this was the purpose of his friendship with Ye Mo. As a family of immortal cultivators who are in business, they can get a lot of convenience by making friends with the city lord.
The two chatted for a while.
Soon, a man from the Lu family's shop led over a dozen people dressed as shipwrights, and three of these dozen people were Qi cultivation period cultivators.
Ye Mo looked over.
"City Lord Ye, the old man will introduce to you, this is Mo Yun Shipbuilder, who can build all kinds of low-level sea ships. He is a shipbuilder from Qingyun Senyuan, and he is currently working in a large shipyard in Xiancheng.
These two are Master Mo's apprentices, one is named Li Zhao and the other is Hao Yan, both of whom are shipbuilding apprentices. As for the dozen or so shipwrights, they all have experience working in the dockyard, and you should be able to use them."
Lu Tong hurriedly introduced Ye Mo.
"City Lord Ye is the new city lord who has just passed the graduation assessment of the Immortal Academy this year?
In addition, my salary is at least fifty spirit stones per month, and ten spirit stones per month for two apprentices. For less than that, I won't go. ”
Mo Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Ye Mo so young, and looked at Lu Tong with a little doubt in his eyes.
"This ......"
Lu Tong looked at Ye Mo.
"Row"
Ye Mo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. He handed Mo Yun a copy of the design of the sea ship that he had already bought.
It is impossible to recruit a skilled shipbuilder to build a shipyard in Ye's Immortal Village without offering a sufficiently attractive wage.
This is the lightest standard warship, high speed, but low armor. This is a ship dedicated to the naval battle of Senmura. ”
Mo Yun took the drawings of the sea ship and looked at it, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
This is the Qi training period that can only be used in the Immortal Village. When you arrive in Xianzhen, you basically won't use this kind of sea boat.
"Hmm"
Ye Mo nodded.
Soon, Mo Yun readily agreed and went to the Ye Clan's Immortal Village to build a ship.
Of course, these fifty spirit stones are not paid in vain, and Mo Yun must ensure that he produces a light sea ship every month.
As for the martial artists, Ye Mo promised, showing that he could reward the first-order Yuan Qi Pill. With this as a temptation, these warrior shipwrights are not afraid of danger and go to his newly built immortal village.
Return to Ye's Immortal Village.
In the port, Chang Fei has already taken some villagers to build a dock in a hurry.
After Mo Yun arrived with two apprentices and more than a dozen shipbuilders, he immediately carried out corresponding transformations according to the drawings of the light warship and the actual requirements.
The dockyard was renovated and could be used to build sea vessels.
A large amount of spiritual wood is needed to build a sea ship, and the demand for spiritual wood has increased suddenly.
After Ye Mo weighed it, he reduced the number of miners who were mining and transferred them to the Spirit Wood Farm to cut wood, which was barely able to supply.
In fact, the output of black iron ore and red fire ore on the Red Fire Mine Island has always been surplus. Every three days, a batch of raw ore is transported to Ye's Xian Village.
Wang Hu and Yang You of the Refining Pavilion, as well as many refining boys, couldn't use them up at all. Ye Cun also does not plan to sell cheap ore raw materials, which are stored in the village warehouse.
"City Lord Ye, this kind of light-armored warship is very suitable for the waters of the Aolai Islands. Although the defence of the sea vessels was weak, they were extremely fast and easy to travel to and from the affiliated islands.
This kind of light-armored warship is at least twice as fast as a sea-going ship, and this ship can be equipped with copper artillery, and it can also play a great role in naval battles.
This ship can also be used as a cargo ship, and although the cargo volume in the ship is not large, it can already meet the needs of Ye Village. ”
Mo Yun carefully looked at and studied the drawings of the light armored warship, and looked at Ye Mo in surprise and said.
"Of course, I have also seen a lot of information on warships in Qingyun Immortal Academy, and I have studied the Battle of Xiancun. This is a drawing of a warship that I specially selected. ”
Ye Mo chuckled.
Chang Fei also leaned his head over, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise, "City Lord, this kind of sea ship should be better than our current pirate ship, if it is built with third-order spirit wood, no matter how bad the defense is, it can resist the attack of three thousand catties of strength, it is very practical, and it is enough for us."
"How many ships can you build in a month?"
Ye Mo nodded lightly and asked Mo Yun.
"It depends on the number of people in the dockyard, the more people, the faster the shipbuilding will be. Light-armored warships are relatively easy to build, and the craftsmanship is not too complicated. The situation in this Aolai Islands is very complicated, it is not suitable for the construction of large sea ships, firstly, there is a lack of high-grade spirit wood, and secondly, it may be too late."
Mo Yun nodded.
When they first met at Lu's shop, he knew about the situation here and had been prepared for a long time.
"I'll bring in all the manpower you need. Twenty martial artists, plus the ten experienced shipwrights you brought, can only provide so many manpower for the time being, and when there are more people in the Immortal Village, I will transfer some more people over."
Ye Mo thought about it for a while, nodded and settled, and said again.
"Thirty warriors is enough, as long as the spirit wood can be continuously supplied, I guarantee that two qualified light armor warships will be issued every month."
Mo Yun stood up and said with a smile.
Ye Mo let go of the dock and handed it over to Chang Fei and Mo Yun to catch up with the light armored warship. Mo Yun was responsible for building ships, while Chang Fei trained sailors and crews and staffed warships with combat members.
Ye Mo was tired for a day, returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and entered the Ancient Painting Immortal Village.
Ancient painting fairy village.
"Boom"
With a loud bang, Ah Li jumped out of the Alchemy Pavilion with a dark face.
Just now, it didn't pay attention and blew up again.
"I'm so angry, my alchemy success rate has reached five out of one, why do you want to blow up the furnace?"
Ali shook her body, and her dark face and messy fur returned to her previous appearance.
The pheasant in the distance glanced at it with disdain, then turned his head away and ignored it.
"Hmph"
Ah Li glared at Ah Pheasant, and then stretched out her claws and scratched her little head and pondered, "Alchemy is much more difficult than refining, and the refining tool fails, and the material can be recycled; The elixir is refined, so you can only wait for the new elixir to come out, it's really troublesome to look at "Alchemy Basics" again, is there anything you have overlooked?
Ah Li took out the thin introductory book again and studied it.
