Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 727
In the southwest corner of Xinmacheng Pharmaceutical Factory, above the newly built watchtower.

Taichang was turning the binoculars to constantly scan the situation on the construction site.

At this moment, the research institute and factory buildings of the pharmaceutical factory are basically completed, and the rest are the sheds where the medicines are dried and the houses where the employees of the pharmaceutical factory live.

It's a pity that there are not enough manpower at the moment, and there are only [-] young and strong North American Indian tribes left in the pharmaceutical factory to work there, and the construction progress is more than twice as slow as before.

It turned out that the Indian tribe civilians here were all pulled to the other side of the river to deal with the felled timber.

It's a pity that they are seriously short of manpower. They can only use ten modified trailers to move piles of mahogany to the stilt building next to the pharmaceutical factory to dry. Other wood is still piled up like a mountain range. Not to the end.

Alas, if it's the rainy season, many of these woods will probably be soaked.

There are also those cut branches on the ground, many of which are as thick as arms or even thighs. If there are enough people, these branches can be processed a little bit, and then burned into charcoal, which is at least tens of millions of tons of charcoal!
At the moment, even the worst charcoal is worth one tael to a thousand catties, and the best charcoal costs four to five taels of silver to a thousand catties. Calculated in this way, these charcoals are worth at least 3000 to [-] million taels!
The problem is that he doesn't have enough manpower to burn charcoal. Once the rainy season comes, these branches will definitely be soaked.

At this time, he really wanted to call Wang Chong back, or let the Shenwu Camp stop, stop cutting it, and deal with the wood and branches first.

The problem is, if Wang Chong doesn't finish exploring the Amazon River Basin quickly, the herbal medicines here at Daming Medicine won't be able to supply them. plant.

He even thought of transferring another 10 people from twenty dependent countries in North America.

The problem is that there are only 60 to [-] young adults in total at the moment. Moreover, they have to raise livestock, cultivate land, and organize manual mining. It is already the limit to draw [-] young adults. The loss on the side is estimated to be tens of millions of taels.

Alas, entanglement!
He was sighing secretly, Cao Huachun suddenly walked beside him, cupped his hands and said softly: "Your Majesty, Wang Chong is back."

Why is this kid running back?

Taichang couldn't help being surprised and said: "Quick, pass him over."

After a while, Wang Chong walked in quickly, bowed his hands and said, "The last general will see the emperor."

Taichang nodded slightly and said, "What's the matter with you?"

If there is nothing wrong, why do people come back after exploring for a few days?
Sure enough, Wang Chong immediately clasped his hands and explained: "Your Majesty, it's like this, when I was exploring the south bank of the Amazon River, I found a tribe, and it turned out that that tribe was a sub-tribe of a super large tribe.

That super large tribe is called the Juma tribe, and it is said that there are several 10 people.

In the end, the general wants to invite the great chief of their tribe. The problem is that their chief still lives in the jungle four to five hundred miles away from the south bank of the Amazon River.

For such a long distance, it would take more than ten days to walk through the jungle, and it would take more than a month to go back and forth.

However, a hundred households sent by the end general to investigate the situation of the tributaries found that there happened to be a tributary of the Amazon River that was straight to the south. Moreover, the chiefs of that tribe also said that there was a very large river near the place where their great chief lived. Big, big river.

If we follow that tributary and go all the way to the south, it is very likely that we can reach the place where their great chief lives by water.

However, the early task of the general is to explore the main stream, not the tributaries. If you explore south, you don't know how much time you will waste.

At the end of the day, I feel that this matter is very important, so I am here to ask the emperor to make a decision. "

How many super tribes of 10 people?

That's great, this is a timely help!
As for the tributaries and main streams, they have to be explored anyway, and it’s okay to delay for a few days. The key problem now is that he is extremely short of people!
If he can bring these large tribes of tens of 10 people over, he won't have to worry about having no one to work on.

Thinking of this, Taichang said decisively: "It doesn't matter if the task of exploring the main stream is delayed for a few days, the key now is to quickly find enough people to deal with the timber on the ground.

How about this, I will bring more things over there, and try to recruit people from the giant horse tribe. "

Ah!
The emperor wants to follow?
Hearing this, Wang Chong couldn't help being taken aback.

Taichang then asked, "How deep is the water in the tributaries of the Amazon River? Have you checked it?"

Of course this was detected.

Wang Chong said without hesitation: "The depth of the Amazon River's tributaries depends on the size. Generally, the depth of a tributary that is more than ten miles wide is more than three feet deep. If it is one or two miles wide, the depth is generally about two feet."

The two-foot-deep river Aegis ships and large-scale gunboats will definitely not be able to enter, but large fishing boats and armed merchant ships will have no problem entering.

Taichang thought for a while, then said loudly: "Zi Ru, send someone to call Yuan Fang over."

Cao Huachun hurriedly clasped his hands and said "Compliance", and then walked out quickly.

Not long after, Zhang Yuanfang walked in quickly, cupped his hands and bowed and said, "The final general will see the emperor."

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Yuanfang, I'm going to the south to recruit a large tribe, so you quickly mobilize ten large fishing boats and ten armed merchant ships.

Then put ten cows on each fishing boat, and twenty thousand catties of grain on each armed merchant ship.

Bring some pots and pans, spices and seasonings, dried fruit cane sugar, herbal tea Guiling jelly and so on.

Ship quickly and be sure to have it ready today. "

Uh, how much is a dot?
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanfang couldn't help asking cautiously: "Your Majesty, how many pots and pans, spices and seasonings, dried fruit cane sugar, herbal tea tortoise jelly are appropriate?"

Well, if there is no specific quantity, people don't dare to install it indiscriminately.

Taichang thought for a while, and then estimated: "It's enough to bring pots, pans, and pans for thousands of people. For spices and seasonings, it's enough to bring ten packets of each, for dried fruits and sucrose, it is enough to bring one hundred packets each, and for herbal tea. Take one hundred packs of the sample, and ten packs of the medicine for boiling Guiling jelly."

Zhang Yuanfang hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I will understand." Then he bowed and walked out quickly.

Although there is still more than an hour before dark at this moment, it is definitely impossible to set off today.

Taichang thought for a while, and then asked, "How is the map? Do you have a detailed map of the vicinity of the giant horse tribe?"

Wang Chong nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the general has carefully searched the area around two hundred miles away, and the map has been drawn. However, the map is too big, and the general did not bring it with him."

Taichang nodded slightly and said, "Very well, let's go, I'll go to your flagship to look at the map."

Wang Chong hurriedly led Taichang and a group of expert guards to the pier.

Not long after, the group arrived at Wang Chong's flagship.

Looking at the cobweb-like rivers on the map, Taichang couldn't help saying, "Are the rivers near the mouth of the Amazon so complicated?"

Wang Chong nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the river channel near the mouth of the Amazon River is in a mess, and it took three days for the general to investigate it with thousands of Spike warships."

Taichang then asked again: "Where did you find the giant horse tribe?"

Wang Chong quickly pointed to a tributary and said, "Your Majesty, it's right here."

A small circle was drawn at this location, with five characters written in the middle, which proves that there are about 500 people in this tribe.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked again: "What about the tributary leading to the south?"

Wang Chong quickly pointed to the tributary next to him and introduced, "Your Majesty, this is the one."

Taichang looked at the width of this tributary, and then looked at the scale of the map. He couldn't help being surprised: "How wide is this tributary?"

Wang Chong nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the entrance of this branch is more than 20 miles wide, and it is about ten miles wide in the hundred miles ahead.

However, after the first hundred miles, it will be divided into two forks that are three or four miles wide.

The General estimated that it would take two or three days to come back and report to you, so he left [-] Spike warships there and let them continue to explore south along the two forks.

It is estimated that if they just explore this tributary river, they should be able to explore about [-] miles south in two or three days. "

Very good, this kid is really reliable in his work.
