Chapter 356: Is There Really Such a Good Thing?

They had not gone too not far into the sea this time and had already caught so many fish. If they had enough freshwater and food to travel into the deep sea, they would definitely be able to catch more fish.

Of course, the reason why they could casually catch so many fishes was also because of the good natural environment in the southern frontier. No human had ever cast a large-scale net.

They originally thought that it was only about 10,000 catties. After some rough calculations, there was actually 50,000 catties of seafood!

Their total population was less than 200,000, and they had caught so much seafood on just one trip. Everyone could eat a few prawns that night. Everyone immediately cheered and became determined to build a few more fishing boats.

Although they could catch a lot of fish, there was still a problem with this fishing boat.

It was very inconvenient to unload the goods. When they were fishing, because there were too many fishes caught in the net, the waves. .h.i.t them and they almost capsized. It was very dangerous.

In addition, the speed of the fishing boat was a little slow. If they encountered big waves, heavy rain, and lightning, it was very likely that they would not be able to return in time.

Although there was basically such a risk in every fishing boat going out to sea, the captain still reported to Bai Wutong honestly what needed to be improved

Bai Wutong really knew nothing about shipbuilding, but the information about human civilization was stored on the computer in her s.p.a.ce to prevent human civilization from disappearing forever after the apocalypse.

Bai Wutong thought through in her mind and modified to give a blueprint of a fishing boat that was more suitable for this world.

Its structure and the principles behind the operation of the ship were recorded and ill.u.s.trated in detail.

It was much more advanced than their current big fishing boat, but with existing technology, it could still be built.

However, if they wanted to increase the speed of the ship, they needed iron to make propellers and a large amount of coal or oil as energy.

They could dig for iron on the spot and slowly. But the issue was forging required coal. It had not been discovered in the southern frontier yet.

The coal they used along the way was all transported from the Central Plains.

Although there was no coal, they found petroleum.

But there was another problem.

It was really a long way to dig up petroleum and transport it over.

If there was a road, it would definitely be much faster.

However, they did not have the manpower to build the road yet, and no one knew much about building roads.

Bai Wutong really wanted to build the southern frontier with a whoosh, but she knew that she could not rush it. Even if the fishing boats were not improved now, they could actually catch a lot of fish.

Suddenly, she saw Duo holding the red-faced Huang Zhong and watching everyone carry the fish. A thought flashed across her mind and she asked someone to call Song Benhua over.

Song Benhua had been appointed to manage the local tribesman. He was very respectful when Bai Wutong summoned him.

He had already seen the situation of the team clearly. Bai Wutong was the core figure in the entire team.

She had methods, plans, and the ability to completely control Duke Ling. She was the only one in the entire team whom everyone obeyed, as if she was the queen of the southern frontier.

Song Benhua was used to seeing women in the southern frontier as a leader. He had no objections to Bai Wutong leading the entire team.

However , he subconsciously felt that Bai Wutong was extremely ambitious and needed to be dealt with carefully.

Song Benhua bowed respectfully and lowered himself.

Bai Wutong placed a box of coal in front of Song Benhua. “You’ve been local for many years. Have you seen coal?’

If Song Benhua had seen it before, it meant that there were also coal mines around Baye. There was no need to wait for the road to be built before they could transport the petroleum over to modify the fishing boat.

Song Benhua saw the silver carbon in the box and immediately nodded. “A tribe on the east coast had used carbon to exchange for black gold stones with our tribe previously.”

As soon as he said this, Bai Wutong’s eyes lit up.

She had just thought of asking casually. She didn’t expect there to be one.

Coal was one of the three main sources of energy for industrial development. Whether it was forging iron, burning gla.s.s, or building other factories, they all needed coal as the basic fuel. Coincidentally, it was what they needed the most now.

Bai Wutong said happily, “Lord Song, can you bring the people to this tribe?’

The tribe was definitely unwilling to hand over the coal mine. Bai Wutong planned to ask politely first. If that tribe did not agree to join their Carefree City, they could only fight for their territory and chase them away according to the old rules of the locals.

Song Benye instantly understood what Bai Wutong meant. He knelt down and said, “I’m willing to go.”

It was naturally best if Song Benbao could go. After all, he was the only interpreter who had mastered many local languages.

Bai Wutong asked Song Benlai to bring 2,000 people and gave him many silk, satin, cotton clothes, porcelain, and so on that the locals liked. She asked him to bring the items to negotiate first.

Song Benbao walked along the coastline from sunrise to sunset and finally met this tribe.

When the tribe leader, Ah Mi, saw that he had brought so many people, he immediately gathered all the young men in the tribe to resist Song Benlai.

This tribe was a little larger than Duo’s tribe. There were about 700 to 800 people.

However, Song Benlai had brought a total of 2,000 people. Even if all of them attacked together, they would undoubtedly be like eggs. .h.i.tting a rock against a well-trained soldier.

The tribe leader, Ah Mi, said angrily, ‘Why did you bring these Central Plains people here?”

He was about 17 or 18 years old. He was tall and had long curly chestnut hair and royal blue eyes that shone like the sea.

Song Benhua held the gorgeous silk and said, “We’re not here to s.n.a.t.c.h territory. We’re here to invite you to join us. ‘

How could Ah Mi believe it? He raised his weapon even higher. “We swore to never become slaves!”

Song Benhua was not in a hurry. He got someone to place the things he had brought on the ground. “No one in our tribe is a slave after joining Carefree City. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look.”

Ah Mi was skeptical. The eyes of the clansmen behind him shot lasers as they looked at so many exquisite cloth and ceramic items.

Song Benhua continued, “If we really wanted you to be slaves, would you still be standing here safe and sound?”

Ah Mi sized up Song Benhua and the others. Indeed, with their excellent equipment, 2,000 people could directly defeat their tribe.

He frowned and said, “Why do you want us to join? Don’t you want our territory?’

Song Benhua smiled gently and said, “We won’t take your territory. Join our Carefree City. You’ll still be the tribe leader. We can even build houses for you, teach you how to farm, and treat your illnesses.”

Ah Mi’s eyes widened. The other party could have killed them, but he had gone to so much trouble to arrange everything for them. He did not think that such a good thing would happen in the world.

As expected, Song Benhua said, “You just have to allow us to mine for coal.”

Ah Mi’s expression suddenly changed. ‘You want us to keep digging coal?”

He didn’t think much of handing over the coal if they couldn’t defend their territory, but letting them keep digging was no different from being slaves.

Song Benhua shook his head. “It’s noisy mining the coal mine. When the time comes, the surrounding prey will be frightened away. If you want to stay here forever, you have to not mind it. If you want to move to Carefree City, that’s fine too. We’ll send someone to dig for coal. If you want to dig for coal, you can also get a monthly salary.”

Ah Mi was stunned. “What’s monthly salary?”

Song Benhua smiled and said, “If you take the initiative to mine, you can obtain the silver from the Central Plains. This silver can be exchanged for satin, ceramics, tea leaves, and so on.”

Ah Mi’s eyes suddenly widened. It sounded quite good.

He double-checked. “Is there really such a good thing?”

Song Benlai’s smile deepened. ‘There’s no need for me to lie to you. Besides, we came with sincerity..”
