Chapter 49 Prelude to Takeoff
The first thing Qu Mao did when he returned to the territory of Yi Village was to announce the disbandment of the army, and the two small captains took all the soldiers back to the residences in the territory to rest in order to restore everyone's fatigue.
Su Nan also returned to the lord's hut to report to Qu Mao and Su Yan on the development of the territory during the week they left.
Everything was as Qu Mao expected, without any accidents. After Sunan was arranged to leave, Qu Mao and Su Yan stayed in the lord's hut to discuss the key to the next development of the territory. I bought a bamboo chair, so Su Yan now has a place to sit.
Su Yan reported to Qu Mao the current amount of resources in the territory of Yi Village, as well as the development priorities.
During the seven days of exploring outside, Qu Mao has repeatedly and fully communicated with Fuzhi and Lai Dima about product information. It is estimated that he will still have to purchase about 1,000 gold coins, but this time the items are mainly architectural drawings. .
Fuzhi has absolutely nothing to say to Qu Mao, no matter what Qu Mao chooses, all rations within 3,000 gold coins will be doubled, and he will pay double the money.
There are some architectural blueprints that Qu Mao urgently needs, such as the realization blueprints of the military port, but Lai Dima does not have them now. The more critical issue is that Qu Mao did not purchase gold coins for Lai Dima's goods for the second time, including the first purchase All the gold coins are borrowed from Su Yan. Now Qu Mao basically understands the purchasing power of gold coins in the Continental Hegemony. It is hard for him to believe that Su Yan still has 1,500 gold coins to lend him.
While taking out the beast carcass in the backpack, using the system to decompose it into fresh animal meat and complete animal skin, Qu Mao was also communicating with Su Yan.
"Su Yan, I can still decompose more than 1,100 pieces of animal meat here, including the previous ones. It is estimated that I can get a total of about 600 pieces of various animal skins..."
Su Yan said without raising her head: "My lord, give me all the complete hare skins. My subordinates see that you are still barefoot. I just asked Qiaoer outside, although I have never made shoes before. But it’s okay to try, see if you can make a pair of shoes for adults.”
Qu Mao smiled wryly. Bare feet had no other effect on him, so he changed the subject and said, "Su Yan, after seven consecutive days of exploration and hunting, we have obtained a total of more than 3,000 pieces of animal meat. Use your backpack and mine to keep it fresh. Make sure that there is no problem eating the territory for seven days.
A total of 120 units of corn were harvested in the first season, not even half of the normal yield. Jia Sixie and Franklin left 3 units for you and me to try. The rest have been converted to seeds for re-sowing, and a total of 20 low-quality cultivated land were sown.
So after 21 days, the food problem you are worried about will no longer exist. The meat can be eaten for seven days. I haven't considered the meat in the territory itself.
Starting tomorrow, all the beast carcasses obtained from hunting will be put into our backpacks by you and me. If this cycle continues, the food crisis will be completely resolved in three weeks, and during this process, we will even experience animal meat rotting.
So starting tomorrow, I will continue to conquer all the remaining 15 resource points, and recruit 10 ordinary citizens to guard each one.
It takes up to three days, and I can conquer all the resource points. "
Su Yan nodded, and said: "Sir, I think the food problem will take 21 days, but the problem should not be too big now. Even if we add 150 people at once today, there will be no problem.
Qu Mao nodded and said, "I'll recruit 20 people to come out in a while. After searching all the way, I didn't find a safe place for us to release the sea-going ship, so I went to Yancheng Port to buy living tools and living things. The planning of supplies and production tools has to be postponed for a period of time.
Although this problem is urgent, maybe we can consider adding some buildings to the territory of Yi Village first.
I got in touch with my friend who is also the chosen one, and now he has some blueprints on hand, such as first-order market architectural blueprints, zero-order market architectural blueprints, zero-level civil wharf architectural blueprints, blacksmith shops, tailor shops, wooden houses, etc. Workshops, construction drawings of the zero-level barracks, etc., but they are not cheap..."
Su Yan's eyes lit up, and she immediately dragged Qu Mao to the yard, picked up a branch, began to write and draw on the ground, and said, "My lord, buy them all. Even resource and resident recruitment coupons, soldiers Recruitment coupons, we can all purchase some more.
By the way, buy some paper and pens to save us from planning under the hot sun every time. "
Qu Mao rolled his eyes and said, "Su Yan, I already owe you 1,500 gold coins, and I have to pay back 3,000 gold with interest.
Now it’s mainly because I don’t have money. Just like last time, the purchase amount of at least 650 gold coins can be delivered to the door. "
Su Yan ignored Qu Mao, and said while writing and drawing on the ground, "Quote the price!"
Qu Mao had no choice but to tell Su Yan the prices one by one. Basically, the price of a zero-level architectural blueprint ranges from 10 gold coins to 50 gold coins per piece, and the price of a first-level architectural blueprint varies from 50 gold coins to 100 gold coins per piece. etc. Military and technical buildings are slightly more expensive, and functional buildings are cheaper.
Su Yan quickly made a list on the ground, and said: "My lord, there are one blueprint for the market construction, one for the zero-level and one for the first-level, with a total of 75 gold coins; one blueprint for the civil dock construction, with a total of 95 gold coins; , tailor shop, carpentry workshop, pharmacy workshop, animal stables, leather goods manufacturing workshop and other zero-level ones, a total of 245 gold; runestones of each department need 100 units, a total of 700 gold, a total of 1115 gold, the rest you See for yourself to increase."
Qu Mao looked at Su Yan in astonishment, and said, "Su Yan, I have no money."
Su Yan rolled her eyes to Qu Mao, handed Qu Mao a money bag, and said, "I will lend you another 1,500 gold, and when the time comes, I will pay back 10,000 gold coins with the principal and interest."
Qu Mao's hands trembled, and he almost dropped his purse on the ground. He asked, "How did you settle this account? Last time, you paid back 3,000 gold with principal and interest, and this time you borrow another 1,500 gold. 6,000 gold, why is it 10,000 gold?"
Su Yan stood up and walked towards the lord's hut, while saying: "Do you want to borrow or not? Love to borrow or not!"
Qu Mao looked at Su Yan's back, the little girl had no intention of taking the money bag back, it was obvious that she borrowed it by force.
At this stage, usury can be regarded as nothing, as expected of a talent for financial management.
If there are too many lice, don’t bite, and if you have too many debts, Qu Mao shook his head. Instead, he felt that this was a prelude to take off. As long as Lai Dioma delivered the props purchased this time, he would prepare the resources himself, wouldn’t he? The rhythm of taking off every minute?
The outbreak continues today, the long holiday is coming to an end, book lovers remember to collect this book.
