Ye Qing smiled and said:

"A piece of windproof cloth, 150 copper coins, his copper coins are not enough, what should I do?"

"It doesn't matter. He can temporarily save these five copper coins. If he sells another tuna seeds the next day, he will have ten copper coins."

"It's still not enough, so save it again!"

"If he sold ten dans of tung seeds in total and obtained 50 tung seeds, it would still not be enough to buy a windbreaker, but the tung seeds are gone."

"He can sell something else."

"For example, a goose, a goose can be exchanged for thirty copper coins. In this way, he has 80 copper coins."

"It's not enough, so keep saving, or exchange it for something else until one day, he has 150 copper coins and can exchange it for the windbreaker he wants."

"Look, isn't this much more convenient? He stores the copper coins and will not break for various reasons. The tung seeds will sprout and rot, and the goose needs to be fed or even died. The copper coins will not be exchanged. He can exchange them whenever he wants."

The great witch exclaimed:

"It's really convenient, but this is no different from Beicoin!"

The Great Witch's mind is very clear.

He changed the subject and asked about the stronghold.

He always felt something was wrong with the stronghold, but he couldn't say it.

It’s not that he was reluctant to take over the territory of Youlu Kingdom, but he didn’t care about the big territory.

He instinctively felt that after the establishment of a stronghold, his own interests would be lost.

Ye Qing said to him:

"The stronghold is open to everyone's transactions. In this way, people from Lu no longer need to trade Fengfeng's goods from you."

The witch's eyes lit up.

It turns out that it is not appropriate here.

If Chinese people no longer trade Fengfeng's goods from their own hands, they will not be able to make any profit from it.

"This will cause you to lose a lot of benefits. Therefore, in order to make up for the losses you have suffered, I will teach you the silk reeling technology. You can use this to build a silk reeling factory. The benefits this silk reeling factory brings you are enough to make up for your losses."

"What is silk reel?"

"Aren't you worried that the cocoon would be bitten by the hatched silkworm moths just now, and that the cocoons could not be intact? With silk reeling technology, there would be no such worry."

Ye Qing explained the silk reeling technique in detail.

"I will sell you dozens of wire reeling machines. After you build a wire reeling factory, buy dozens of slaves and you can start construction."

"You buy the cocoons from the Chinese people, process them into raw silk at the silk reel factory, and then sell them to us Fangfeng."

"If there are as many people from Lu, and if there are a large number of silkworms, the final transaction will be very large, and you can get a lot of wealth."

The great witch's eyes shine.

This is a long-term transaction.

Moreover, this silk reel factory belongs entirely to itself and is not constrained by the Chinese people. It can even control the Chinese people in reverse.

After the Chinese people raise a large number of silkworms, the disobedient Chinese people will not buy their cocoons. They will watch the cocoons they have harvested with great difficulty in their hands. I believe the Chinese people are very desperate!

At that time, who dared not be obedient?

The great witch immediately said happily:

"Good stronghold, good stronghold, when will we start building? I can't wait."

Ye Qing was also very happy.

"The construction of the stronghold is naturally faster, the better. However, in terms of manpower, the great witches need to help summon people from Lu Kingdom to participate in the construction."

"Of course, there are people from Lu who are involved in the construction of the stronghold. I will pay them wages. They come to work and they will charge ten copper coins a day. However, I don't care about the food issue, and they need to bring their own meals. There are not too many people. There are about 200 young and strong people."

"Okay, I will summon 200 people for you tomorrow."

...

The next day, construction of the stronghold began.

The great witch of the Lu Kingdom is very efficient in doing things, and I don’t know how he encourages the Chinese people. All the Chinese people who come to work are very energetic.

The construction location of the stronghold is chosen near the dock.

One is convenient for transportation, and the other is that it will not interfere with the inherent order of Youlu Kingdom.

The most workload of building a stronghold is to build artificial terraces.

There is no way. In this era, floods are too frequent, and Ye Qing can only build a platform according to the experience of this era.

The workload of building thatched huts on the platform is much smaller, although Ye Qing is preparing to build many thatched huts.

Ye Qing grouped the people of Lu, and asked the Fengfeng craftsmen who came with the fleet to serve as the leaders of each group.

The vigorous construction project began.

When there were people from Lu, they were very curious when they took the bronze pickaxe, axe and shovel distributed to their hands.

This is their first time seeing this bronze tool.

When they started working, they were shocked.

This bronze tool is so sharp.

When they found out that after the base was built, these bronze tools could be bought at the base, and they were completely crazy.

No one doesn't know the importance of tools.

But when they learned about the price of the tool, they were very disappointed.

Too expensive!

They don't have copper coins, they can't afford it.

A pickaxe, 600 copper coins.

A shovel, 600 copper coins.

An axe, 400 copper coins.

...

However, after being disappointed, they reacted, they also had copper coins.

They do a day's work, ten copper coins...

Buying an axe only requires 40 days of work.

Too worth it!

This axe is not like a stone axe, but it will not be damaged. It can be left to your son and grandson, and passed down from generation to generation.

It only takes 40 days to get such a sharp and inheritable tool. It’s so cost-effective!

So, some people from Lu were as enthusiastic as if they were injected with chicken blood.

This made the great witch of Youlu Kingdom puzzled.

When did these troublemakers work so hard?

After the first day of work, people from Lu were lined up to receive their wages.

There was a man from Lu who received the wages in front of him, holding copper coins in both hands, like a treasure, for fear of falling and touching them.

The Fangfeng clan who gave the money was very funny and said:

"Don't worry, copper coins are not so fragile, they can't even be broken even if they fall. Look..."

As he said that, he grabbed a handful of copper coins and threw them away.

Copper coins were scattered one after another, and fell back into the basket containing the copper coins.

The first person from Lu Guo who received his wages laughed embarrassedly.

However, he still held the copper coins in both hands.

This is his first time receiving wages.

Before this, he never knew that there was a reward for working.

In the past, I either did it for myself or for the great witch. After I finished it, I would be finished. What’s the reward?

The ten copper coins in his hand made him intuitively realize the value of doing a day's work.

A concept formed vaguely in his mind...

Working is valuable!
