Yang Hu arrived and looked at the vast open-air coal yards, feeling somewhat ashamed. This kind of thing required the charlatan to discover it himself, and he, as the chief of the branch, had seriously neglected his duty.
"You haven't been in Qiuhai City for long, so I don't blame you. Just try to be more careful in the future." Ma Yue didn't blame Yang Hu too much. Yang Hu was quite capable. Who hasn't made mistakes?
"My idea is to build a village here..." Ma Yue talked about his idea. Yang Hu is the person in charge of Qiu Haicheng, so of course Yang Hu will be responsible for it in the future.
"No problem. Qiu Haicheng has two instructors with good abilities. I will send one." The coal yard is so important that Yang Hu must pay attention to it. What's more, it involves the new crop winter wheat.
"You're a little short on personnel. I'll send you two instructors and a few hundred cavalrymen later." Qiu Haicheng only had seven or eight hundred men, which was quite pitiful. Things were different now. There was a large open-air coal yard here, and its value was enormous. "When winter comes, I'll send another thousand cavalrymen to increase the transportation of coal."
It would be a shame not to use such a large coal yard to supply Haifan City. In winter, the amount of snow and ice transported by truck is large, so it is very convenient to ship it to Qiuhai City and then to the sea.
"In this case, I will contact some able-bodied men from other tribes to increase mining and transportation capabilities," said Yang Hu.
"Yes, that's right." It's appropriate to give the people of the surrounding tribes another way to survive. "Haifan City consumes a lot of coal, and we need a lot of coal. As for the salary for cooperating in transporting coal, don't worry. Just bring some more sweet potatoes and potatoes."
The sweet potato and potato production in the Hai tribe is high, so they have the money.
The rest is up to Yang Hu. Ma Yue only wants coal and winter wheat.
This time the harvest was good, and Ma Yue withdrew with his guards.
After returning to Haifan City, Ma Yue found Cai Ji. Cai Ji took people from the Ministry of Agriculture, two instructors from Haifan City who were sent to reinforce Qiu Haicheng, and 500 cavalrymen and went out to sea.
Qiu Haicheng was planning to build a new village, and the people were mobilized. The nearby Tian Tribe enthusiastically helped, harvesting large fields of wheat, with the plump grains used as seed. The Hai Tribe would take most of the wheat, leaving some for the Tian Tribe.
With the arrival of Cai Ji's troops, summer wheat planting began. Qiu Hai City had copper plows and shovels, and with the addition of 500 large livestock, the arable land area increased rapidly. Most of the people in Qiu Hai City and almost all the able-bodied people in the Tian Tribe were actively participating in the farming.
As for the corn, we have to plant it tomorrow.
If the coal is to be shipped by sea, it has to be packed in bags. It's okay, we're all just weaving straw bags anyway. The people in this area are so poor, they don't even have many thick fur underwear. Since they're counting on a big winter production, almost all of them are able-bodied men.
It doesn't matter, we start digging coal and packing it in bags a month or two before winter. More and more people gather around the Sweet Tribe, and before winter, they dig coal and bump into the grass bags, and they also give food.
Want a sheepskin coat? Sure, it'll be included in your salary. Hired laborers are very accommodating in the Haibu area. With a thick sheepskin coat, you can continue digging and hauling coal in the winter, and still earn a salary.
As for which 'salary' model is more cost-effective, you can discuss it among yourselves. Anyway, as long as you dig and transport coal, you can get food, salt, thick fur coats, and even simple pottery pots. Our Sea Tribe has everything you need.
With the arrival of winter, a thousand cavalrymen from the Hai tribe arrived, bringing with them a large number of sweet potatoes and potatoes. Covered with ice and snow, a large number of ice and snow trucks began to transport coal. It was only two days' journey from the seaside of Qiu Hai City, very close.
"Finally, there is no shortage of coal." As the first batch of twenty sea-going ships of the navy squadron transported coal to Haifan City, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The output of the Tiantu coal yard in Qiu Haicheng was really huge.
As for the next batch, it will be much smaller (it is cold in winter, so there are fewer people who can participate in mining and transporting coal). It doesn’t matter. The coal from these twenty ships is almost enough for Haifan City to use for half a year.
"I have sent a letter from Red Feather to the North Branch. This year, Haifan City does not need to transport coal." Chunwu said.
"Well, it's better to keep more coal in reserve at the North Branch." Since it's close by, it's easier to control. Ma Yue certainly had no objection. "How's things going over in Thunder God City?"
"The climate in Xiaoshan Valley is suitable for farming. It covers a large area, and the Star Tribe has a good harvest. Their population is not large, less than 5,000 people, so they don't pose much of a threat to us." Chunwu said.
Almost all the people in the Thunder God City area have fled to the warm area. The few remaining population have been reorganized by the Star Tribe, and most of them live in the Howling Mountain Valley. After all, the Howling Mountain Valley is not very cold.
As for the threat? The northern and southern branches both have over ten thousand people, how can they compare to the current Star Tribe?
It would be best if everyone could live in peace.
"It's good to be alive." Ma Yue nodded.
"Yes, with population and food, we can maintain the mining of spirit stone mines. Then the representatives of Shenshan will no longer think about our Haifan City, haha!" Chunwu laughed. He understood what the charlatan meant.
The Sea Tribe doesn't want a major conflict with Shenshan either; it's not worth it! Similarly, if you can maintain the mining of the Spirit Stone Mine, Shenshan won't want to clash with the massive Sea Tribe either. It's just as unworthy, isn't it?
Ma Yue's biggest worry was that the many sacred mountains would unite against him. So, even when faced with the tempting fire-type mid-grade spirit stone mine, Ma Yue chose not to participate. If it wasn't his business, wouldn't the chances of the sacred mountains causing trouble for him be lower?
Ma Yue's space bag already held a large reserve of spirit stones. Aside from the spirit stones collected from city taxes, the Sea Tribe barely purchased any more. The Sea Tribe had two sources of spirit stones: Sea God City and Spirit Fruit Island. Even if the Bing Yueyue sisters and Tie Lin advanced to the Martial Master stage, the Sea Tribe still had more than enough.
There is no need to buy spirit stones. It is shameful to waste salt and food.
"So the Blue Tribe's salt mountain was taken over by the Star Tribe?"
"Yes! The population of the Star Tribe is small, so there's generally no shortage of salt. We're quite self-sufficient."
"That's great!" Ma Yue didn't want to have anything to do with the Star Tribe. Besides, the fire-type medium-grade spirit stone mine was probably controlled by many messengers of the Divine Mountain, and the Star Tribe had no right to get involved.
There are no major forces left in the Thunder God City and Sun City regions. As for where the original Thunder God Tribe, Moon Tribe, and Breeze Tribe have gone, Chun Wu has no information yet. Mainly, since you've all fled, you're no longer a threat to the Sea Tribe, so your concern is low.
"Spirit, there were no heavy rains and floods in Sea God City and Sun City this year, but it was very dry. Although the yield per mu of potatoes we planted was very low, we still harvested a lot after all. This winter, the number of sweet potatoes shipped there from Lingguo Island was much less." said the second priest.
After the autumn harvest, winter is the time to review the year's work. This year, the Sun City and Poseidon City branches at least had some harvest, which is better than nothing, right?
It's been a drought over there, but they planted a single crop of potatoes, and they actually managed to survive. Potatoes are known to be very drought-tolerant. A yield of 200 to 300 kilograms per mu is quite a lot. Even the Sun City branch, with fewer large animals, has over a thousand wildebeests. With tens of thousands of mu of arable land, that means a yield of 2 to 3 million kilograms of potatoes, right?
How much is too much? What kind of bicycle do you want?
