To the south of Pernambuco, in a farm closest to the Silla River.

The cages where the black slaves were originally imprisoned had been cut into firewood. The main house was surrounded by Ming army camp tents, and tens of thousands of soldiers from the Shenwu camp were waiting for him.

The corn planted in the farmland was already ripe, but the Ming soldiers ignored it.

This little food is nothing to them. It can be given to people from nearby primitive tribes for a few days to eat.

When people from the primitive tribes around him received the news, they all ran over happily and happily purged the corn.

Luo Sigong sat in the temporarily renovated study room, frowned and looked at the map in front of him, with questions in his mind.

This anti-Habsburg alliance army is probably crazy, and it is actually driving away the black slaves and cutting down the woods frantically.

According to the news sent back by twenty scout teams, he roughly drew an area.

The anti-Habsburg Alliance army had actually driven the black slaves to cut out a clearing space of two or three hundred miles in radius!

Moreover, these guys were also crazily arresting the people from the primitive tribe, both men, women, and young.

The people from the primitive tribe here were so scared that they fled north wildly. The population of the primitive tribes within fifty miles of the south bank of the Silla River soared four or five times.

Nearly 40,000 people gathered in more than thirty primitive tribes!

Of course, this population is nothing to them. Just use the wolf-tooth warship to pull it to the port south of Olinda.

There is a lot of food there, which is enough to support this little person. Even if it is not enough, just send a merchant ship to pull it.

A merchant ship can bring in millions of kilograms of food. Even if people from these primitive tribes can eat, they can still eat for about half a month.

He just couldn't understand what the anti-Habsburg alliance army wanted to do.

Prince Kong Dai’s idea is actually very simple, that is, grab money, grab people, and grab resources!

Now he really robs everything, and he is very crazy.

Because he needs a lot of money, a lot of people, and a lot of resources to build his own country.

Originally, he thought that there were some gold or silver ores here, and even if it was not good, copper ores would be fine.

Unfortunately, there is no gold, silver and copper here, only iron ore.

It’s okay to smelve iron ore to create weapons by yourself. If you sell it for money, you probably won’t make a fortune by deducting the freight.

Fortunately, there are jungles and trees everywhere.

The profits of wood are relatively high, especially wood such as mahogany and teak that can be used for shipbuilding. If you take a boat back to the continent, you can earn at least a few thousand pounds of silver.

Other woods can be used to make hundreds of pounds of silver when you pull a boat back, and those that are not valuable can be cut into charcoal and can be used to smelify iron.

Prince Kong Dai took Ba Yinya and fell in love with the wood here. This is not a forest, it is just a pile of silver!

However, he didn't have enough ships in his hands.

Because what they drove here was either a building ship, a gunboat or a warship, and they were not specially used to transport goods.

This problem is easy to solve.

They don't have enough ships. The Dutch have too many Dutch armed merchant ships.

Moreover, at this moment, the Dutch had taken over the Gold Coast and the Slave Coast, less than ten thousand miles from Bayinya.

More importantly, his younger brother Miuyinte is a Dutchman, and even this guy is a little famous in the Netherlands.

The three of them all decided to let Minuyonte lead the fleet to the Gold Coast and discuss the timber business with the Dutch there.

There are five or six hundred shipyards in the Netherlands, and the demand for wood is so great that no matter how much it cuts, the Dutch can eat it!

So, the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

The Dutch sent a boat to collect it. No matter how much wood he cut, the Dutch collected it, but the price was 10% cheaper than the price on the market, which offset the freight.

Soon, their timber business started.

However, when the business became big, he discovered another problem.

He doesn't have enough labor!

There are no trees and logging machines in Europe, so they still have to rely on manual cutting trees now.

A tree with a waist-thickness, several people had to cut down for half a day. Although Ba Yinya had more than 100,000 black slaves, they still had to farm for them. They couldn't draw much labor to cut down the trees.

This means that he doesn’t have enough people to move the money there!

What to do?

This happened just by chance. The Dutch slave trade had just started, and there was not much room for selling slaves after they caught them, so they were anxious!

There is no way, 80% or 90% of the world's colonies are controlled by Spain, and it is impossible for them to buy black slaves from them.

They were split from Spain and were traitors. The Spanish kept catching them and beating them. After they developed, they also beat Spain.

The two sides are already in the same situation, so it would be strange if people would buy their black slaves.

As for the continent, it is already crowded and many locals have no work to do.

If the black slaves pull them over, they can do some heavy physical work such as digging and mining, and the demand is not large at all.

Suddenly, there was a Prince Kong Dai who was in urgent need of black slaves, so the Dutch were naturally overjoyed.

Once the two sides decided, another agreement was reached soon.

The Dutch merchant ships directly brought slaves from the Gold Coast and the Slave Coast, and then pulled the wood back.

No matter how many black slaves were pulled over, Prince Kong Dai accepted them all.

In fact, black slaves are not very valuable at this moment. Even the strongest black slaves can be sold for dozens of francs, and a pound of silver can be exchanged for hundreds of francs.

In other words, a pound of silver can buy more than ten black slaves, and a ship of mahogany and teak can be exchanged for tens of thousands of black slaves!

This was a joy to everyone. The Dutch made money from freight and sold slaves, and also avoided the empty ship coming from Africa every time and wasting transportation capacity.

Prince Kong Dai was working more and more, and his timber business was getting bigger and bigger, making money soared.

As for what to do if the forest is cut down.

It doesn't matter, he just wants to cut off all the forests and plant corn, sugar cane, cocoa, and even coffee.

Corn can be used as military rations, and the leaves of corn, rhizomes, corn cobs and sugarcane, and the rhizomes can also be used to feed cattle, sheep, and slaves.

This is the most suitable place to grow corn, and the corn yield is simply too high.

Moreover, the Portuguese here had already figured out the technology of corn cultivation. He just needed to threaten and tempt them and let them take their slaves to plant. There was no cost at all, and the food produced was quite amazing.

There is also sugar cane. The sugar sugar in the jurisdiction of the Brazilian Governor is a popular product in Europe, and you don’t have to worry about sales if you grow it.

Moreover, it is particularly suitable for the growth of sugarcane, and the Portuguese have long understood the sugarcane planting technology.

The same thing is true, just coercion and inducement.

Do you do it or not? If you have a salary, you will become slaves. Not only will you not have a salary, but you will still eat something that livestock eat every day!

The Portuguese here had no choice but to follow him.

There is cocoa and coffee, which is even more amazing.

Cocoa beans are used for chocolate, but they are valuable in continental Europe and are very popular.

Moreover, the Portuguese have long tried to plant cocoa in Bayinya, and there is no problem with the transplantation technology.

As for coffee, it is known as black gold, and its value is almost equivalent to gold. The Portuguese have also started to try coffee in Bayinya, and the effect seems to be pretty good.

All this is cheaper.

He frantically drove the black slaves to cut down forests, and then used the cut down wood to exchange for the black slaves, and then asked the black slaves to cut down trees and farm, so as to make money for him.

There is another advantage in deforestation. By cutting down, you can discover the gathering places of local primitive tribes.

If these Indians from the primitive tribes were hiding deep in the jungle, he would not dare to provoke them.

However, when others were exposed to him, he would naturally not be polite and would directly put the iron chain around his neck, and that would be his slave.

Men, women, young and old, men can cut down trees and plant land, young and young women and children can peel corn, pick up branches, burn charcoal, etc.

Anyway, these people only consume some corn rhizomes and corn cobs, so there is no cost at all. The more people they make, the more they earn.

Moreover, after all the people of these primitive tribes can eliminate hidden dangers and make Ba Yinya truly his country.

Prince Kong Dai just robbed, chopped, and sold it like this. The money and food he had was growing, and more and more.

In just over a year, he actually gathered hundreds of thousands of slaves and opened millions of acres of fertile land.

This is also the reason why he did not attack Pernambuco in a crazy way.

The infantry under his command are precious, and they have to use guards and drive hundreds of thousands of slaves.

The ships under his command are also busy, and he has to go to the continent to recruit craftsmen and soldiers.

After all, Continental and Bayinya are tens of thousands of miles apart, and it is impossible to do without ships.

Now he is not short of money or food, so he has long started recruiting craftsmen and soldiers.

The purpose of his recruitment of craftsmen was naturally to build ships, guns, and swords, and to create a bunch of weapons and equipment.
