Chapter 61 The Civil Wharf Completion
After explaining clearly to Su Yan the usage rules of the first-order market and the price of life essence, Qu Mao slept beautifully in the lord's cabin for a night.
In fact, although the first-order market only provides 5 item sales slots, the sales price is not limited to gold coins, and items can also be listed for sale in the amount of one or two resources. However, Qu Mao is not short of resources at this stage, but is short of gold coins. Of course, all life essences will be listed for sale in gold coins. 15 gold may not seem like a lot, but it is a considerable amount if accumulated over time.
The next morning Qu Mao didn't delay too long. After breakfast, he gathered 10 second-tier archers, 10 second-tier sword and shield soldiers, and 10 second-tier throwing ax fighters and walked into the forest.
This time, Qu Mao spent 5 cheating points to let the cheating system indicate the location of the beast. Yesterday, he recruited more than 200 people. In order to prevent the happiness and loyalty of the people from collapsing, Qu Mao had to pay the price.
Order Yi Village and Mingang Village to provide enough food for all the citizens tomorrow, so Qu Mao can only spend 5 cheating points on hunting, and must ensure that the harvest from hunting today is enough to feed all the citizens tomorrow. pause.
Zhai Feidel once again applied to Qu Mao to go to Mingang Village, but Qu Mao asked Zhai Feidel to divide the 15 hunters in Yi Village into 5 groups, each with a part of the second-level long-range fighters and first-level guard fighters and divide them into five groups. A team of 20 people went hunting in five different directions in Yi Village's territory.
Like Mingang Village, Qu Mao asked all the residents of Yi Village to eat three meals tomorrow, which is a death order. Now that the number of residents has increased to 730, the long-term accumulated public anger has reached a certain level, and even the sense of happiness on the territory has disappeared. Red line warning.
As for food deliveries and patrols within Yi Village, there is now a large area of open space around the territory of Yi Village, and most of the time the open space is safe. Qu Mao does not want to waste precious troops on patrol and food deliveries, and ordinary citizens will do it. Just bear it.
Originally recruited 30 well-qualified citizens in Mingang Village, Qu Mao assigned 15 Huiyi Village territory, some of them with skills have successively undertaken work tasks in the functional buildings or shops corresponding to their skills.
However, these leaders did not actually trade or operate, because the leaders are currently Qu Mao’s private property, and the leaders have no money in their own hands, and there are no tools in the functional buildings.
From the point of view of popularity alone, the territory of Yi Village has shown signs of prosperity, but in fact it is just a false prosperity.
After hunting for a whole day under the instructions of the cheating system, the 30-man army led by Qu Mao gained a lot. Qu Mao’s backpack already contained the corpses of 32 tigers, 11 black bears, and 72 wild wolves.
As for small beasts like hares, Qu Mao didn’t even stuff them into his backpack. He basically killed them when they encountered them. After killing them, he basically used them as lunch for an army of 30 people.
Fortunately, Qu Mao found a herd of elephants in a valley in the forest. It was estimated that there were nearly ten elephants, and one elephant was bigger than four or five tigers. Although the cheating system reminds Qu Mao that the strength of elephants is between the third and fourth ranks, which is stronger than tigers and black bears, but before setting off for Yancheng, Qu Mao still wants to kill those elephants, lest he will be caught when he goes to sea. The people starved to death.
Back to the small village of Minggang, Qu Mao asked Wang Ping to accompany him to disassemble the corpses of wild animals into animal meat and animal skins using the system. Qu Mao took the animal skins by himself, and handed over all the animal meat to Wang Ping.
Qu Mao said: "Wang Ping, tomorrow we must ensure that all sailors and citizens have enough to eat three meals a day."
Wang Ping asked in surprise: "My lord, do you already know that our civilian pier can be repaired tomorrow?"
Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, and said, "I really don't know about this!"
After dinner, Qu Mao lay down in the famous residence in the territory. Qu Mao was actually very tired from a day of hunting.
It's a pity that the civilian dock was not completely built until noon the next day.
When you come to the beach, a wooden plank road extends from the cliff on the coast to the sea for more than 50 meters, and the plank road is about 30 meters wide.
Last night, Qu Mao had sent someone to light a torch overnight to Yi Village to inform Sunan to come, so in the morning, Sunan had already arrived at Mingang Village, waiting with Qu Mao for the construction of the civilian pier.
Su Yan stayed in Yi Village to arrange work in the morning, and this meeting is also on the way here.
On the plank road of the civilian wharf, Qu Mao directly took out three sea-going ships, and the three sea-going ships parked steadily on three sides of the plank road of the civilian wharf.
Seeing a sea-going ship by the pier, Sunan immediately beckoned the sailors to board the ship, and shouted loudly: "Board the ship quickly, lower the sails, lower the anchor, and tie the cables!"
"Yo ho! Yo ho!" The sailors cheered excitedly, jumping onto the three ships.
Being oppressed by Qu Mao to rush to work for more than half a month, all the sailors seemed to be on the verge of rebellion, with their heads drooping and listless every day.
But today they had a full meal for breakfast and lunch, and with the appearance of the ship, the sailors instantly forgot the pain that Qu Mao had brought them before. The energy accumulated in the two meals is completely consumed.
Su Nan commanded the sailors to fix all three ships on the side of the pier, and then began to walk towards Qu Mao.
Until this time, Qu Mao had no time to observe the appearance of the ship carefully.
The three ships are all of the same standard, about 20 meters long and 5 meters wide, and the height above the sea is about 3 meters, which is just at the same level as the plank road of the civilian wharf. As for the depth of the draft below sea level, Qu Mao is not familiar with Chu, and he has not considered boarding a boat to take a closer look.
There are two masts on the deck, one tall and one short, which should be the masts used by the mainsail and the jib.
Su Nan stepped off the boat, came to Qu Mao, and said, "My lord, if there are five such sea-going ships on the mainland, they can all form a small maritime trade caravan."
Qu Mao said with a smile: "We have six ships, and now we lack talents who are proficient in trade, otherwise we can form a trade fleet."
Sunan pointed to the ship and said, "My lord, this ship has two and a half layers of cabins below the deck, and the bottom half is full of ballast stones. The two layers of cabins can hold more than 30 tons of cargo. Under normal conditions, it can carry 50 tons, but then the side of the ship is less than half a meter away from the sea surface, and it will be over with a little wind and waves.
We are only carrying personnel and some supplies. According to the purchase list provided by the princess, the total weight should not exceed 20 tons, so it will not be a problem to add more people. "
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Get ready in advance, and we'll see when the time comes. If the draft is too deep, I'll put heavy things in the backpack."
