Chapter 57: Countryside Villager (Part 2)
Fatty Dong’s words are not fake. Every word he said is true. Zhang Shun and his friends really don’t have enough reserves.
Since entering here, Zhang Shun has always relied on digesting the materials he seized to maintain what he needs. After all, it is unrealistic to want to mine to be released immediately. The best way now is to melt all the enemy's armor, and then slowly melt it and use it.
But these things have been basically used now. The reason is very simple. This kind of machine is too powerful. It is like a monster that I don’t know how to catch, constantly swallowing all the supplies. No matter how many things will disappear in the fastest time. The things they brought before and the results of the first anti-encirclement and suppression cannot resist the use of this.
The most important thing is that the Yuan army had too low requirements for armor, so Zhang Shun and others did not get much. Most of them were scrap copper and iron, and the things they got after melting these things were not that good. More importantly, Zhang Shun also had to make a large amount of Zhang Dao, so he had to temporarily stop the work here.
The blast furnace pointed out that there were not so many steels coming from. Because there were not many prisoners of war, Zhang Shun had already encountered the problem of hiring people. The raw materials were shortened all of them, so he had to use them all on the blade of Zhang Dao. The most hateful thing was that Chen Qiyitong Baitong also made a special machine to make that, so he didn't even dare to do that. Now everything can only maintain a speed, otherwise he would really not know what these people were going to do.
"How are you going to sell this kind of armor?" Jiang Wanzai finally understood that these people didn't know how to deal with the government. It seems that although they could make shocking things, they could not change the inner small peasant consciousness of these people. For them, good things must be sold at a good price, otherwise they would lose.
"Hehe, the price is easy to say. Thirty-two taels of silver per piece, this is the most reasonable price." Fatty Dong's face immediately showed an expression that only a profitable businessman could have.
Jiang Wanzai snorted coldly in his heart, then slowly said, "This price is a joke. I think it's at most ten taels of silver per set."
"Ten taels of silver? Haha, then you'd better not buy it. We're not enough for ourselves. We'll sell it when others want to buy it in the future."
"Don't worry about money. I want to ask you if you accept barter?"
"What product should I use for?"
"Of course it's what you need. Don't you have any ore? But the imperial court has it, not only it has it, but it's also piled up like a mountain. You can bring it back at any time as long as you are willing." Jiang Wanzai said lightly.
"Pull it back?" Fatty Dong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, as if he suddenly heard something very funny. He smiled for a long time before saying, "You are not kidding, we no longer have a dock here. If we transport it from land, how much manpower and material resources are needed? So what can we do if we pile up like mountains? We won't fly either."
"Why don't you? How do you think I came from? Isn't it still a boat? As long as you go around a big circle, you can reach the place I told you. When you pull it back, you can use a boat to pull things back. How about it? This strategy should be worth some money, right?"
"There is still such a place?" Fatty Dong's mouth was already wide open.
"There is really such a place? Why don't we know it all the time?" When Zhang Shun heard the news, he grew up. He didn't expect that he had been here for half a year, but he didn't know that there was a small dock nearby.
"Really!" Fatty Dong shook his head gently, "I have sent someone to go, and I did see that place. It is called Baishitan. It is said that it was a relatively large pier in the past, but who knew that during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Han River flooded once, causing the river to divert and flow to other places. This also made it quickly turn into shallow water, and the big ship could not go, so that place was abandoned."
"It's really useful?" Zhang Shun confirmed again.
"Yes, it can be used. I have sent someone to see it. It can be used." Fatty Dong was also very excited. Although this place called Baishitan is not big, it can definitely be used as a temporary dock and there is no need to fight head-on with the enemy.
Zhang Shun finally sat upright. Although he had already made the order to prepare for an attack, he was unable to make up his mind because he knew that the enemy he was facing was not simple.
Zhang Hongfan had been confronting the Song army several times his own in Xiangfan area for nearly ten years. Lu Wenhuan had no way to do anything when he was the strongest, and even lost consecutive battles was a proof that this guy was definitely a first-class general. In history, he personally commanded the Battle of Yashan and was considered a real gravedigger in the Song Dynasty.
The words of General Zhang Hongfan of the Yuan Dynasty destroyed Song Yu here have been engraved on the huge rock at the end of the world, and were not erased until the Ming Dynasty. This is an indisputable fact, so even Zhang Shun, who already possesses explosives, dare not underestimate the other party.
Now he finally found a dock that he could replace, which means that they could easily enter and exit Shennongjia, so he didn't need to fight against the enemy at all. This is a huge good thing.
"Let Zhang Yunjie come to see me immediately. It seems that our navy army is about to be established to improve the agenda."
Zhang Yunjie also came from Shijie Village. When he was selling private salt with Zhang Gui and others, he was responsible for ships. Later, he naturally joined Zhang Gui and others in the team to fight the Tartars. However, he was very good at fighting on the water, so he was better at fighting on the water. When Zhang Shun defeated the Tartars on the water, he was responsible for the coordination of all ships, and now he is specialized in Zhang Shun's naval army.
"Stern brother, are you looking for me?" Zhang Yunjie walked in and Zhang Shun was closing his eyes to rest. He was too busy, but Zhang Yunjie seemed to have not seen it. He looked at Zhang Shun and asked in a muffled voice, "Stern brother, why are you looking for me in the middle of the night? I am so busy that I can't find North every day. I still have to go back and see if the acre of cotton I planted has a good harvest?" After that, he sat opposite Zhang Shun, not even looking at him.
When Zhang Shun heard this, he immediately knew that this guy was complaining in a different way. After all, everyone has been very busy recently, but his navy army has not improved at all. Who can I not get angry?
