041 Trip to Lingnan 3
The next day, when everyone started logging, Li You followed the beach to the low mountain to the east. Although it was not high, it was still possible to see the huge dense forest on the beach. What Li You has to do is to map here as much as possible, so that it will be more convenient for what he wants to do here in the future.
There is a river on the left that merges into the sea. It is not too small. It is still feasible to build a hydraulic workshop on the river. The river is close to the sea and it is also suitable for building docks. The whole sea is very suitable for building piers. After finishing the drawing, Li You went down the mountain.
After returning to the camp, Li You looked at the dense forest that was being felled. In less than a morning, he had already advanced tens of meters. The men cut the trees and the women dug the roots. The collaboration was very tacit. As for the group of people, They are training more than one hundred new recruits.
At this moment, Yao Ping brought a person over. This person was Jiang Chun. As soon as he arrived at Li You, Jiang Chun clasped his fists and said to Li You: "Little Jiang Chun pays homage to the Patriarch."
"Are you busy?"
"Patriarch, there are mostly fir in the forest, which can be used for shipbuilding. Seeing that they divide the giant tree into sections, the younger one will come over and inform the Patriarch."
Li You suddenly asked: "You can build ships?"
"Yes, the younger and eldest brother have been working with his father since he was a child, and later learned how to build ships from his father. Before coming here, the younger and elder brother were still building ships at a shipyard in Yangzhou. Because the owner was too demanding, he came here. Go here."

Li You loved what he said, and he also said with a smile: "Well, I was looking for someone to build a sea boat, so you came, but what a chance, can you build a sea boat?"
"Patriarch, when we were in Yangzhou, we built sea-going ships, but the biggest one was only a sea-going ship of thousands of materials. No matter how big it is, we have never built it.
"Hehe, in the future, you will have a chance. If you build a new shipyard here in the future, you and your elder brother will be useful. If you have the ability, in the future, the shipyard can be handed over to you."
Jiang Chun naturally would not refuse, and he also said, "Everything is subject to the Patriarch's instructions. If Patriarch needs it, my brothers will do their best."
"Okay, Jiang Chun, you go with Steward Yao to see what is useful, so that they don't cut it off and leave it in the shade for later shipbuilding."
The words of Li You also mean that Jiang Chun frowned. The wood used in shipbuilding was dried in the shade, so that it would not be deformed or cracked, and the built ship would be usable. Most people really don’t know this. When I heard Li You By the way, he estimated that Li You knew some of the doorways inside.
Looking at Jiang Chun's leaving back, Li You was really happy. He didn't expect that this group of people is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. There are everyone. In fact, it's just that Li You doesn't know it. Most of these low-ranking households are craftsmen, who do everything. If he knows, he will surely wake up with a smile when he falls asleep.
In the afternoon, Li You had already asked the dog to take people to build the trestle bridge in the sea. Otherwise, it would be a hassle to transport some goods. As for the construction of the trestle bridge, it was very simple. Come here this time, Li You asks the blacksmiths A lot of claw nails were created. Just drive the one-foot-thick wooden piles into the sea sand in two rows, fix a log on it with claw nails, and lay a layer of planks on it, and the trestle is simply used Do not extend too much into the sea, only more than ten meters is enough.
At the end of the evening, Hongwu brought the tools he bought. Now, the work can be fully started tomorrow. It won’t be long before this dense forest will no longer exist.
"Hongwu, how is the recruitment situation in the city?" On the trestle bridge, Li You asked Hongwu, this is a big one. If you want to clear this place quickly, you can rely on the more than a thousand people on your own. It took a lot of time.
"Young Master, this matter is still in progress. It just started today. There are not too many people working. It is estimated that more people should be employed in the next two days."
"Well, I see. After the cargo is unloaded, you should leave as soon as possible. It is not too early. Oh, when you come over tomorrow, bring some pork and mutton. The more the better, there are a lot of people here." Li After your explanation, Hong Wu left afterwards. What we are doing here now is heavy on physical strength and must have adequate nutritional supplements.
In the next few days, Hongwu successively transported hundreds of people here. With the addition of these people, more and more trees are being cut down every day. The craftsmen even found a place to start burning charcoal, and built a brick kiln not far away, anyway, these can be obtained locally.
Due to the relatively high wages given by Li You, naturally this person also came a little more. It was not until more than a thousand people came here that Li You asked Hong Wu to stop recruiting workers and started buying a large amount of construction materials to ship here. Especially the stone strips and sacks, there are already a lot of people anyway, and the construction can be started slowly. The most important thing is the wharf. This must be done quickly. Once completed, large ships can be used to carry materials.
In March, construction has started here for more than a month. Now the dense forest between these two mountains has been cut down from the seaside and advanced for about 600 meters. After all, it is two kilometers wide. It can be advanced so far. It’s not easy, and the wharf can already be used. Although the construction period is short, it is still quite large. Large ships can dock six ships at a time. Not far from the wharf, several warehouses have been built. Still under construction.
As for the manor, it has begun to lay the foundation and is ready to be built. As for the residential buildings, they are also under construction. The location is behind the manor. According to the layout here, all the more than 800 people brought here will be arranged here. Someone else came and continued to advance into the dense forest. Anyway, in this early stage, Li You only intends to drive about two kilometers in depth. After all, there are too many things to do in the early stage, and he is not allowed to vigorously open up here.
Now that it’s sorted out here, there is no need for Li You to come here to greet everyone on what to do. As soon as he is free, Li You thinks about pepper. If you want to say that you use seeds to grow saplings and wait for the flowers to bear fruit, Li You is not right. Think about it, because there is absolutely no harvest in five years. You can only use the method of intrusion, and there will be a harvest in three years.
Although the idea is feasible, this matter is really not so easy to handle. Hong Wu has already inquired clearly. There are pepper plantations in the gardens of some family members, and there are few pepper trees in these plantations. They would definitely not agree to Li You's pruning.
Nowadays, not only Hongwu has sent some people to search, even Gouzi has also sent people to search. Anyway, it has been five days, and there should be news soon. Li You doesn’t believe that you can’t find pepper in other places. There must be trees, depending on whether you can inquire about them. (End of this chapter)
