Ironwood naturally exists in the territory of Ming Dynasty, but only in places like Yunnan and Guangxi, there are only a small amount. This kind of tree likes heat but not cold, and grows fastest in places with hot precipitation and abundant rainfall, so most of them are
Grows in Southeast Asia.
The Ming Dynasty had just captured Yunnan last year, so Tang He had never heard of it, which was normal.
Tang He's question made Han Du's mind clearer.
Not being able to act like he knew everything in front of Tang He, Han Du made an excuse and explained: "We also read in a book that there are a small number of people in Yunnan and Guangxi and other places.
Iron pear wood. On the contrary, there are many such precious woods overseas."
"Precious?" Tang He was puzzled. Although the requirements for shipbuilding wood are quite high, they are far from precious.
Han Du glanced at Tang He with a smile and explained to him: "Look, sir, the inside of these woods is bright red, the texture is fine, and it has a golden sound when struck. This is iron pear wood, and it is the best shipbuilding wood in the world."
"most?"
When Han Du saw that Tang He didn't believe it, he smiled and said: "Yes, it is the best shipbuilding wood in the world."
Seeing Han Du's seriousness, Tang He believed that Han Du would not tell lies on this matter. He looked up at the iron pear trees in his eyes and murmured to himself: "How many ships can be built with so many iron pear trees?"
No one knows how many ships can be built with so much ironwood. Anyway, Han Du knows that even if he is building new warships, he should be able to build quite a few.
The group of people continued walking inside, and found that this was indeed a shipbuilding place. Soon everyone found wood shavings and pieces of wood cut into pieces all over the floor.
Seeing this, Han Du couldn't help but cursed fiercely, "These damn things are a group of people who waste natural resources violently."
"What's wrong?" Tang He wondered why Han Du was so angry.
Han Du pointed to the cut wood on the ground distressedly and said: "These people don't have the ability to build bigger ships. They can't fully utilize the iron pear wood, so they cut it into several sections."
Tang He was speechless for a while. These woods originally belonged to other people, so they must do whatever they want. Why did Han Du feel more heartbroken when he looked at them?
But in Han Du's view, the good things in this world have been inhabited by virtuous people since ancient times, and he is a virtuous person. Since these woods have been encountered by him, they are naturally his, even if they were wasted by those people before, Han Du
Du also felt heartbroken.
Ignoring Han Du's unprovoked mischief, Tang He continued to walk forward. When he came to the pond, he looked at the pond that was already filled with water and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jiang Ming saw the plank road extending into the sea and walked forward thoughtfully. When he saw the deep marks on the pillars, he understood that a ship must have parked here for a long time.
He reached out and touched the strangulation mark gently, and felt that there were sharp fine hairs pricking his hand. Jiang Ming was quite surprised when he touched it under his nose and smelled it, and immediately shouted loudly: "Master, uncle, we will eventually find something."
Han Du Tanghe hurried over, and Han Du couldn't wait to ask: "What did you find?"
Jiang Ming carefully rubbed the fine hair-like thing on his hands and dropped it. He said with confidence: "Based on the general's experience, it will take no more than three days for the ship here to leave."
"Is this true?" Han Du asked quickly.
Jiang Ming nodded confidently, "I will be sure of the end."
"Then do you know which direction they left?" Han Du suddenly grabbed Jiang Ming's arm and asked expectantly.
Embarrassment suddenly appeared on Jiang Ming's face, and he said flatteringly: "This, this sea is so vast, how will the general know which direction they are leaving?"
Jiang Ming didn't know everything. The reason why he knew that the ship left within three days was because he liked to pay attention to the wooden stakes that tied the ropes. They were everywhere in the vast sea, and they would not leave any traces.
How do you know which direction those people are going?
Han Du stared at the sea. After a moment, he immediately ordered, "Jiang Ming."
"The end will be here."
"Everyone gather and board the ship."
"Follow orders."
Jiang Ming was about to turn around to deliver the order, but was stopped by Han Du.
"Wait a minute," Han Du thought for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the temptation and ordered: "Go and dig out those crystal tiles for Uncle Ben. Be careful when digging so as not to damage them."
After Jiang Ming heard Han Du's words, he looked at Han Du in disbelief. Seeing Han Du glare at him, he quickly lowered his head.
Tang He was also speechless about Han Du's actions, but he thought of those precious crystal tiles. Han Du's actions may be inappropriate, but it can't be in vain, right? After all, it's nothing.
"Ahem, after taking out the tiles, repair them." Tang He couldn't help but tell Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming turned around and bowed to Tang He, "General, I will obey your order."
As long as Han Du looked at Tang He strangely, Tang He smiled and explained: "It would be a pity for such a good house to be ruined like this. You also said that this is a treasure land, and everything is there."
It’s ready-made. If the Ming Dynasty can occupy this place in the future, these things can be put to use.”
This is true, Han Du agrees with Tang He's statement in his heart. If the Ming Dynasty occupies this place in the future, it will be so convenient. There is no need to cultivate the land, and food can be grown directly. And such a treasure land, Han Du
I made up my mind to take it.
In this case, there is nothing wrong with repairing the house. After all, these will be Ming Dynasty things in the future, and they will still be useful.
Han Du returned to the warship, got into the cabin, and looked at the map on the desk.
Tang He followed in and couldn't help but ask: "Do you want to chase them?"
Han Du didn't even raise his head. After hearing Tang He's words, he just nodded and said: "These people are so rich that they can even give up precious crystal tiles easily. This shows how rich they are. They don't know how to install it on their ships now."
How many gold and silver treasures, such a big piece of fat, even if there is an unexpected opportunity, we can't let it go."
Tang He didn't mind chasing them if they had a chance to make a fortune. Tang He was confident that Han Du's warships would have no rivals at sea, but how to find them was a huge trouble.
So, Tang He continued to ask: "This sea is so vast, do you know which direction they are going? How do you pursue them?"
Hearing this, Han Du raised his head and laughed, pushing the map in front of Tang He and said: "Master, please look. We are coming from north to south. If these people are going north, then the three of them will
If you leave a few days ago, there is a very high chance that you will bump into us."
