Chapter 744 Discovering New Islands ([-])
"Yes, the persimmons are soft. If the result of the test is that this mainland country is easy to bully, then I will come here often. After successful success again and again, the psychology from the ruler to the ordinary people will inevitably expand, and then the mobilization A war of aggression, thinking that with the strength of an archipelagic country, it can annex a continental country with a vast landmass.”

"Because they often do slave trade with the Longgu tribe in the south, they have a certain understanding of this mainland country. Maybe they have heard that this country has recently been affected by natural disasters and its internal affairs are unstable."

"For speculators, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, if he can succeed in the past, he will definitely succeed this time. Don't take advantage of the bastard."

"It turned out to be a loss this year, unfortunately."

"If the pirates are really related to the ruling class, then even if we find their lair, don't snatch them. The movement involved is too great. I don't want to have a causal relationship with the national fortunes of other countries. Planting fields on uninhabited deserted islands, cotton is the most important thing, and it will be cold when the autumn tiger is over, so I will ship a few boats of cotton to make padded jackets for everyone."

"it is good."

Zhaolin quickly adjusted the instructions, letting the scout scan and record islands and islands according to the original order, and draw a map of the archipelago.

"Also, the follower has to continue to do it. Let's find ours first, pick out suspicious islands, and then compare them with the final destination of the pirate ship to see if it is within the range we picked." The plan can't keep up with the changes. , I thought yesterday that I finally didn't have to follow the pirate ship, but I didn't expect to find out that it is a big archipelago today. I should do less of such self-slapping things in the future.

"clear."

Qi Ke didn't bother Zhaolin's work anymore. She went back to Qianhejing and asked the deputy housekeeper to make a piece of land to plant cotton and collect cotton seeds. After Zhaolin picked out a suitable desert island, the first thing to build was a cotton plantation.

Watching the deputy housekeeper adjust the planting plan, Qi Ke also went around the farmland, and came up with an idea in his mind, let the deputy housekeeper collect duck and goose down, and then study how to make down jackets and duvets without running down.

After returning to Zhuangzi, Qi Ke and Zhao Lin also mentioned the matter of the down jacket, and Zhao Lin arranged it casually, collecting feathers when killing ducks and geese, but the production process of down jackets is different, and it will definitely have to be tailor-made. The business of the wealthy will only be able to sell ready-made garments when a garment factory is built in the future.

The two of them were busy going back and forth, and things were going well on the beach side. Eight boats took forty people in one trip, and half of them were sent on board by noon. The sailors who wanted to go back to Dong'an Mansion took a step first, and not long after, the small boat on the sea returned, picked up a new batch of 40 people and set off again, and those who were still resting in the military post included General Bai and Bai Qing the last group of people.

Qi Ke took a short nap after lunch, took the time to get up, wash his face and dress up, and went to the military post with the two village chiefs to see him off. At this time, General Bai handed out the rewards for his meritorious service, both to the village and to Qi Ke. 500 taels each, and then everyone drank tea and chatted in a relaxed atmosphere. Hearing Qi Ke talk about the abundance of fish in the sea, the general asked on a whim if there was any way to send fresh fish to Dong'an Mansion.

With the way of transportation these days, let alone Dong'an Prefecture, the people in Donglin County don't have fresh seafood to eat. First, it is not easy for fishing boats to bring live fish back from the sea, and then they have to use large buckets filled with seawater to raise the fish. , in order not to let the fish suffocate, only a few fish can be put in a large bucket, and only a few buckets can be put in a boat, so the cost keeps rising. When the price of fish in the county is only rich people can afford it. People can't even see a fish scale.
