After the ceremony of recommissioning the two steam sailing ships, Lawrence did not leave the port, but stood there waiting for something. Soon, a very burly figure came from the direction of the city.
"Good afternoon, Orchid." The big guy walking towards Lawrence was the bull-headed shaman Orchid and Iron Shoe. Looking at the whole piece of freshly baked rice bread she was holding in her hand, which was filled with salted fish and some vegetables,
I knew she had rushed over before lunch.
"Good afternoon." Lanhua said to Lawrence after swallowing the food in her mouth. "I'm glad to see that you are willing to accept the invitation of our tribe elders to visit my hometown. Can we just go there in a while?"
"Of course not." Lawrence shook his head and said. "Nora will go there with the two of us in a while. I definitely can't check the situation in your hometown by myself, so I need to ask Nora to go there with me.
If she flies in the air, she can have a more comprehensive understanding of the specific situation on your side and draw a more comprehensive map. In addition to Nora, there is also a small delegation of five or six professionals responsible for comprehensive negotiations with you.
"
"You humans always make things very complicated, but at least when it comes to redrawing the map, I admit that we tauren are not as good as you humans." Lanhua thought for a moment after listening to Lawrence's words.
"After all, our tribes rely on word-of-mouth communication among us tauren to learn about the surrounding situation. No one even thought of drawing a map. After listening to what you say now, I hope
You professionals can bring us better changes in all aspects."
"Definitely." Lawrence patted Orchid's plush forearm and said, "Among our group of people are experts from the church in agriculture who are good at animal husbandry, and there is also an expert who can both treat people and animals.
Doctors who treat patients. There are even professional settlement planners. I believe they can give you enough help."
Soon, a small green figure flew over from a distance and stopped in front of Lawrence. Then Nora flew in front of Lawrence with her waist full of energy and said: "Sister-in-law Saphiel let me."
I’m telling you, you can go to the Tauren’s place to investigate without any worries, and just leave the matters here to her.”
"It's really troublesome for her." Lawrence knew that Saifei had a character that couldn't calm down. Although everything she had learned at the women's college allowed her to handle the current situation with ease, she didn't like to do these things.
For her, staying at the desk to deal with a lot of documents is almost like killing him. Compared with this, she would rather stand at the front of the pioneering team with her sword and fight her way out.
But since she has chosen to become Lawrence's fiancée, she will naturally shoulder the obligations that a hostess of a noble family should bear. So even if she doesn't like Saphire, she will suppress her nature to deal with those who are in her opinion.
It's a completely boring document.
Lawrence felt very lucky to have such a childhood sweetheart as his fiancée. After all, when he left the territory, someone had to be here to calm people down, and his father was not so suitable in many places because he was a clergyman.
Therefore, only Saphiel can shoulder this important task.
Not to mention that in addition to the materials needed for the construction of the island being imported from outside the island and produced by ourselves, the materials that the astral plane can provide are also an important part of the material supply chain. On the other hand, the materials in the astral plane
Construction also requires Lawrence to constantly bring in a bunch of stuff from the outside to speed up the process.
Fortunately, because the entire island is currently under busy construction, Lawrence can take this opportunity to hide all the accounts for communication between the main plane and the astral plane. Only Lawrence, Saphiel and Nora are there.
Individuals can see the entire island construction in the general ledger.
For this reason, the three people who can see the general ledger can only leave the port area for a short period of time, at most, for three or four days. And if Lawrence plans to leave here for a week, one person must be left at the port to handle these matters.
Material issues. This time, because Nora had to accompany her, Saphiel had no choice but to stay at the port.
A few minutes later, the team preparing to go to the Tauren tribe also appeared on the dock. Then everyone boarded a river cargo ship moored on the dock.
This boat was previously used to transport tauren who entered the island and wanted to work out into the city and brought things from the city back to the island. However, because the trade volume between the two parties was relatively small, this boat took an average of one week
It only makes one trip, and today the boat is just free enough to take Lawrence and the others into the island.
Because the vegetation on both sides of the river is well maintained, the river water is not very turbid. All the water conservancy facilities supporting the river on the plain side have been renovated. You can see the water flowing along the repaired ditches to some reservoirs.
It flows through the reservoirs, and then flows out from those reservoirs along the irrigation canals to irrigate the land on the plains.
Standing on the boat, you can see the rice growing vigorously in the paddy fields. Some farm workers are busy tending to the crops in the rice fields.
In addition, Lawrence could also see some capybara farms also built near the water. Unlike pigs, cattle and sheep, this rodent is a semi-aquatic herbivore, so even after domestication
The species must also need a pond when breeding.
However, because they are relatively low-cost to raise and are well adapted to the local hot and humid climate, Lawrence still raises this animal as an important source of meat on the island in the future. For example, this time it was a gift from the Tauren tribe.
There are more than 200 kilograms of capybara dried meat.
It's a pity that this animal can only give birth once every eight months and can grow up after a year. Therefore, the capybara jerky this time was exchanged from the surrounding islands through trade. But if everything goes without any accidents, the capybara jerky will be available next year.
A batch of capybara meat produced on the island can be successfully put on the market.
There are some red and white colored wooden balls floating there, and the place where each wooden ball is represents a shoal. This is a buoy set up for future navigation in the river. Because of the current shortage of manpower and the demand for inland river shipping
There is no urgent reason, so now we have only explored a short section of the river's mouth.
Apart from the occasional contact with the Tauren tribe, there are only a few farms on the river that rely on small wooden boats to transport people or things over short distances. However, those small boats traveling along the shallow banks do not need these markers.
Not to mention that due to the development of marine fisheries, the prices of various seafood on the island are very low. People are often willing to spend a small amount of money to buy processed marine fish directly from the dock instead of spending a lot of time and energy to fish from the river.
So there are basically no fishing boats on the river. Only some children are fishing by the river with fishing rods they made after finishing their study and work.
With the rhythmic roar of the steam engine on the ship, the small inland river steamship that Lawrence and the others were riding slowly left the plain where Niujiao Bay is located. The artificial signs on both sides of the river slowly disappeared, gradually giving way to the big river.
nature.
At this time, they could see that both sides of the bank had turned into lush tropical rain forests. Some animal sounds came from the jungle, but because of the dense vegetation, they couldn't see what was making the sounds.
Because both sides of the river were always unchanging green jungles, Lawrence returned to the cabin after watching for a while on the deck. He now needed to recharge his batteries for the upcoming meeting.
