  Chapter 287 The Stallion Arrives on the Island

  It has been a week since the second wave of sea-going ships went to Yancheng. If it wasn’t for Xinping’s regular remote communication with Su Yan, Qu Mao was really worried that something would happen to the sea-going fleet going to Yancheng.

   After all, Yancheng is within 400 kilometers from the small roof of the lord of Yidao Yi Village, which is within 400 kilometers. It has not exceeded the effective communication distance of 1400 kilometers of the top-equipped communication crystal, and a connection can still be established.

  Going to and from Yancheng, including the purchase of goods, usually takes only five days. Now, in the past week, the second wave of sea-going ships has not yet returned, which makes Qu Mao a little worried.

  Early this morning, Su Yan asked Qu Mao to accompany her to Mingang Village.

  Hearing Su Yan's invitation, Qu Mao immediately knew that the second sea fleet was about to return to the civilian wharf outside the small village of Mingang.

When Qu Mao and Su Yan arrived at the civilian pier, eight sea-going ships were moored beside the civilian pier. Maffei Trani, Su Qiaoer, and Sylvia Ocean were standing on the pier of the civilian pier with Sunan and Li Qi chatted.

  Seeing Qu Mao and Su Yan walking on the trestle of the civil dock, Sylvia Ocean came up to meet him and chose to trade with Qu Mao. A total of 8,000 gold coins were lying in the trading column.

   Qu Mao agreed, put 8,000 gold coins into his backpack, and asked: "Sylvia, you can still bring back 8,000 gold coins. The number of people you purchased will not be too small, right?"

  Sylvia Ocean said indifferently: "My lord, you should talk about this topic with Lord Maffei and Lord Su Qiaoer.

  The tasks of the subordinates have been completed, so there is no need to waste time here. The subordinates are going to the navy barracks to see the naval recruits under them. "

   After speaking, Sylvia Ocean turned around smartly and walked directly towards the naval barracks.

  Qu Mao had no choice but to turn around and ask Su Qiaoer who was holding hands and chatting with Su Yan: "Su Qiaoer, I bought three sea ships and brought back 8,000 gold coins. Is it because the leaders bought too little?"

  Su Qiaoer smiled wryly, and said: "My lord, a total of 2,700 people have been purchased, and each of the three newly purchased sea-going ships has 100 more people.

  The three sea ships were confiscated by Jack Twain from other caravans, saying that there were contraband, and then sold to his subordinates at a price of 400 gold coins each. The three sea ships only cost 1,200 gold coins.

  2,700 citizens only spent 3,000 gold coins, and other living materials, living tools and production tools are really not much to buy! "

  Maffei Trani said: "My lord, five stallions and ten mares came back from this purchase.

  Subordinates suggest directly changing to a sea ship and transporting it to the empty island immediately. After all, we plan to breed our war horses on the empty island.

In Yancheng, my subordinates bought five groomers and ten horse herders by the way. These are technicians. There are 47 people including their family members. The subordinates hope that the adults can transport these horse technicians and their families together and place them in the empty island. "

   Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Then change to an empty sea ship, as there are three new sea ships here, let's choose one of these three to go to the empty island.

  Su Yan, thank you for making a trip to Sky Island yourself.

  The infrastructure of the Muma Village on Kongdao has been built, but there are no fixed residents and household registration records for the residents. Su Yan, please finish these things together by the way.

   Discuss with Franklin King whether the current pasture is sufficient to feed these fifteen stallions, I guess it should not be enough.

  So after the five stallions and ten mares were transported to Sky Island, they had to be raised in captivity, fed with thatch, soybeans and egg whites, and were not allowed to eat pasture. "

  Su Yan said: "Yes, my lord!

  Wait for the subordinates to settle the 2,700 citizens who came back from Yancheng in Mingang Village and Gangdong Village, and then go there. The subordinates will give a speech to the villagers from Yancheng. "

   Qu Mao nodded and said: "Su Yan, you go, call Qiaoer or Sunan to go with you.

  Li Qi, you first arrange for the villagers to transfer five stallions and ten mares to the Xinhai ship, and at the same time transfer the horse breeders and their family members. "

   "Yes, my lord!" Li Qi nodded.

   Qu Mao followed Su Yan to Mingang Village, and Maffei Trani, Sunan and Su Qiaoer naturally had to follow.

   "Su Yan, remember that after arriving at Sky Island, Franklin King will be asked to expand the range of pasture planting.

  A few days ago when I was on the outlying island, there was a light rain in the sky. The distance between the empty island and the outlying island is so close. In theory, it should also rain. The water in the reservoir should be able to expand the planting range of pasture. "

  Su Yan said: "My lord, this subordinate will go to Sky Island in person, please don't worry, my lord!

   Your subordinates will make arrangements for pasture planting issues that you are concerned about, and will cooperate with Franklin King Island and conduct careful research. "

Qu Mao nodded, and suddenly found that Maffei Trani, who was halfway up behind him, seemed to hesitate to speak several times, so he asked in astonishment: "Maffei, what's wrong with you? What's the matter with you?" Say, don’t you guys know my style?”

  Maffei Trani hesitated again and again, and finally said: "My lord, as the trade officer of the territory of Yi Village, I don't want to wait until I go to Baigang City in two months before sailing. I still want to continue to open up new sea routes.

  The subordinates plan to continue sailing to the northeast of Baigang City for about 1,000 kilometers, try to open up at least one new trading city before going to Baigang City, complete a transaction and return. "

   Qu Mao turned around, looked at Maffei Trani seriously, and said, "Maffei, I very much agree with your idea, but all the animal skins we hunted earlier were taken to Yancheng to sell.

   The animal skins heading to White Harbor City in two months are not ready yet. You need to open up a new sea route now, and you will probably only be able to sell some food or blank rune stones.

  Blank runestones are strategic resources, and if they are sold too much, they will definitely attract the attention of interested people. "

  Maffei Trani laughed and said: "As long as you agree, my lord, to open up a new sea route, my subordinates can set off a week or two later.

   And in the seaport city in the northeast, the subordinates believe that there are sales markets for grain, cured meat and sea salt. "

   Qu Mao said: "Well, animal skins are very popular in Yancheng, but we can't finish the corresponding animal meat in Yi Village, so they are all pickled with sea salt, and now there are at least a million units.

  The salt drying field outside the small fisherman's village has expanded two more salt drying pools, and the stock of finished sea salt has exceeded 200,000 units. However, the sea salt cannot be stored in the grain storage, but can only be stored in the material warehouse.

  If you only bring grain, sea salt and cured meat, you can go to sea in advance. "

  Maffei Trani thought for a while, and said: "My lord, that subordinate will leave in three days!

  At that time, the subordinates will discuss the direction of the new route and navigation requirements with Sir Sylvia in detail. "
