Chapter 571 Landing on the Island
"Sixth brother's wife, what is this... machine? Can I use it?"
There was eagerness in Gu Yanjing's eyes, and Ran Qingxuan smiled and nodded when he saw it.
"Why not? I'll actually try it out first, and you'll understand."
After taking off, he was only taught once how to move forward, backward, left and right, and Gu Yanjing couldn't wait to get started.
After trying to operate it, Gu Yanjing simply couldn't put it down.
"Then I will try to fly forward and see if I can see the bulge in the distance."
The drone is equipped with night vision goggles, so when Gu Yanjing operates it, he can observe the situation around the sea in real time.
"Sixth brother, you try to drive the boat forward. I will control the drone to fly forward. If we see a larger island, I will tell you which way to go."
"good."
With the cooperation of the two brothers, Ran Qingxuan would have no problems. While she had free time, she controlled her mind to enter the mall. She still had more than 10 million gold coins left, so she had to buy some food while she had time.
However, she had almost bought out all the food stores in the mall, but still hadn't bought enough rice for five million yuan.
When I was at a loss, a red dot appeared in the chat history that had been cleared in the background. When I clicked on it, I found that it was the [Treasure Hunter] who I hadn't contacted for a long time.
[Shopkeeper, can you still find the thing I need? 】
It has been some time since the treasure hunter looked for the hat. After Ran Qingxuan told everyone about how he had just settled down, he asked tentatively.
[I want to purchase a batch of food. I wonder if you have any connections? 】
After Ran Qingxuan sent the message, she waited for a long time but did not see any reply from [Treasure Hunter]. Ran Qingxuan thought that the message could not be sent out. When she was about to send another message, [Treasure Hunter] replied to her again.
And those three short words gave her hope.
How much do you want? 】
[About five million tons of grain, including rice, flour, millet, broken rice, old rice, noodles, vermicelli, anything edible, I want it. 】
......
[Isn’t there a war going on over there?] 】
Ran Qingxuan smiled and replied: [Almost. The fighting hasn’t started yet, but we have to provide food for 60,000 to 70,000 people, and it will last at least half a year. 】
The money she gave Duan Yi could buy as much as he could, which should be enough to feed 50,000 to 60,000 people for a month or two.
Together with the surplus food stored in Beiguan when there was no fighting, it would be enough to feed the 50,000-strong army for some time.
In addition, the food she took from the City Lord's Mansion and the Salt Gang was enough to feed the 50,000-strong army for seven or eight months.
If these grains are Qi Jing's last resort to usurp the throne, then they can be fully supplied. After all, war is imminent, and who would want to usurp the throne for several years?
But the situation is unstable, so we have to fight a protracted war. Five million yuan can buy three million kilograms of food at most, but it is only enough to feed 50,000 people for more than a month, so we can save it for two months.
In fact, it is enough, but I am afraid that the Yigui people will not launch an attack from one place. If Hancheng is also attacked, with an army of 100,000 and 100,000 mouths, a year's food can be divided by two, which is enough for half a year.
So now she basically buys as much as she can, and as long as she can hold on until the potatoes and sweet potatoes are harvested, she can basically last until the next quarter when the products are ripe.
[Five million tons of pure food is not easy to get, but if you need other food, I have a way, such as instant noodles, self-heating rice, hot pot, and marching rations. 】
When Ran Qingxuan saw this, he almost jumped up with excitement. These were simply must-haves for traveling, so why not want them?
[Okay, just buy the 5 million one. When you have bought it, send me a message and I can see it in the background. 】
[Treasure Hunter] replied with an "OK" and then there was no further movement.
Ran Qingxuan thought about it and found two sets of exquisite-looking tea sets from the belongings she brought out of the palace, as well as a number of porcelain pieces that she thought were pretty but not practical.
After painfully spending 10,000 gold coins to open a private sale, she directly listed the price at one cent. The backstage reminded the [Treasure Hunter], and she received a thank you reply from the [Treasure Hunter] before she exited.
Now she felt comfortable buying food, but when she saw that there were only tens of thousands of gold coins left, she suddenly became unhappy again.
With tens of thousands of dollars, she might have to rely on the existing food and items in the space to survive. After the [Treasure Hunter] puts the food up there, she will still have to rely on this buyer with strong purchasing power.
"It would be nice if this person could buy everything..."
Just as he was muttering to himself and dreaming, Gu Yanjing, who was controlling the drone on the upper level, exclaimed in surprise.
“I see, it should be this.”
"Sixth brother's wife, come up and take a look. This island should be about 20 kilometers away."
Ran Qingxuan came out of the middle room and was almost blown back by the cold wind from the sea.
Seeing this, Gu Yanchen stepped forward and held her in his arms, then went to the control room on the third floor and slowed down the yacht.
As the distance was very long, the sea was very rough and people could hardly stand steadily, but Gu Yanjing still relied on his interest in drones to find the island.
After confirming that the last mile recorded on the nautical chart was about a day's distance, the three looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.
"If it's Dad, we might bring him home this time. That way, we can be together and have a happy New Year."
Gu Yanjing's eyes were full of excitement, and Gu Yanchen was even more excited. He picked up Ran Qingxuan and stumbled around twice.
"Luckily you..."
The coldness coming from his neck made Ran Qingxuan feel distressed for him. Gu Yanjing couldn't help but shed tears upon seeing this. He turned around, pretending nothing had happened, and sped up towards the island.
"Okay, don't make fun of me, Third Brother. You're already married, why are you still crying..."
"Who is crying? I am not..."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes... No, no, it's just the wind..."
"I..."
It had been a long time since Gu Yanchen had been treated so harshly by Ran Qingxuan. For a moment, it seemed as if he had returned to the day when they first met.
But he is no longer the Gu Yanchen of the past. Looking at his little wife with a smirk on her face, he feels warm in his heart.
Half an hour later, the yacht was steadily parked on the shore. It was pitch black all around and Gu Yanjing was not sure whether he should get off directly.
Gu Yanchen gritted his teeth, held Ran Qingxuan in his arms, and landed on the shore at the bow of the boat.
Seeing this, Gu Yanjing followed. After landing, Ran Qingxuan took the cruise ship back to an open space a little further away, and Gu Yanjing handed the night vision goggles in his hand to the two of them.
"To avoid being discovered, let's wear this night vision and not light the torch."
"Okay, it's best to find the freshwater lake that Jintang mentioned first, so it will be easier to find the cave entrance."
Ran Qingxuan thought about it and felt that using manpower was a bit slow. With a wave of her hand, she released Yuanbao, who was resting in the space.
Yuanbao howled when suddenly exposed to the cold air and crawled under Ran Qingxuan's cotton robe to avoid the cold wind.
"This guy, I haven't seen him for a while, how come he has become so heavy?"
