Chapter 71: The Walking Caravan

Time passed by one by one day, and it could be said that it was soon early April.

The weather is much warmer than in early March.

Because the weather is warm and various fish have gradually started to move, we have added three fishing boats and gradually expanded the fishing range to the sea outside the gap, and the fishing volume has increased day by day, and the average daily can reach 100,000 kilograms.

With more people, we dug two more in our ice cellar. In addition, the snow that had been prepared long ago can store at least 12 million kilograms of fish.

In fact, we do not plan to fish all day long. As long as the storage capacity reaches more than 5 million kilograms, we can reduce the fishing boats and increase the training of warships. After all, the strength of maritime power has always been the pursuit of Baye and the guarantee of our safety.

The population of Sanguo Village has gradually increased to 4,701 people. Among them, because of the acquisition of all the bandits and bandits and the selection of some strong men in the village, the Sanbao increased by 1,500 again, reaching 1,500 people.

Among them, there were 1,000 soldiers on land, and 500 were prepared for Baye's navy. This did not include the 300 people in the security patrol. The total number of soldiers in the 1,800 people has exceeded one-third of the total population. The burden on our logistics is really heavy.

Take food as an example. Each of the 1,500 soldiers had to undergo a lot of training every day, and even started running in armor. Many of them had grown taller. Such a large amount of consumption naturally led to a sharp increase in appetite.

According to Chen Xiaoxuan's calculations, a soldier of three to eat ten kilograms of food every day. Although it is mostly fish, the food consumed by three to three to reach 15,000 kilograms per day.

The remaining people consume about 25,000 kilograms a day, and the total amount is at least 40,000 kilograms a day, which shows how much food they consume.

From this we can see why the master said that he had to save enough 5 million kilograms of fish to reduce fishing and develop the navy with all his might.

Of course, there is no benefit. At least our three-way soldiers have been trained into a group of elite soldiers. The three-way soldiers, including 120 veterans from the former Sanguo Village, were firmly controlled by us and divided into three brigades: the spear team, the big sword team and the cavalry team.

Shimosuke Wada Yuro's blacksmith shop has long been expanded. They brought more than 20 apprentices, and the stove never fired all day long, creating various weapons for us. Although they are not as sharp and solid as those in the Great Song and Great Liao countries, they can be called the first-class product on the Hokkien Island.

The soldiers have become much stronger and have strict discipline. It can be said that if they encounter the original "Ten Thousand Beasts Group" and they will probably not have much problem taking them one-on-one.

Xu Zhenniang, who I bought for a lot of money, has better medical skills than we imagined, such as fever, headache, joint pain, and old illness. She either uses acupuncture to help relieve symptoms or use various herbs to treat them slowly, which has helped many people recover their health and made the three fathers shout that it is worth it.

In fact, Xu Zhenniang is not as greedy as she said. When we gave her one hundred taels of gold, she didn't want it at all, saying that since everyone treated her as a family, she could not collect this money.

Not only that, she also called her sister, Jeon Mi-yeon and several girls in her teens and twenty years old. Following her, she started learning some simple medical skills. Even my friends and I were learning simple bandages and injuries, which made everyone admire them even more - in this era, whose skills are not treasures? Many people don’t even pass on their daughters, but only to their sons, let alone outsiders.

The only thing that makes me feel itchy is that we still have too little contact with the outside world now. We have met a few small traveling merchants, but never a large traveling caravan comes to stay in Yinhai Harbor, so many of the things we want cannot be bought.

I don’t know if I have been reciting for a long time. On the sixth day of the April 1st, I was taking a group of friends to make bamboo guns. I heard that a large group of people arrived on the banks of the Liuyin River. Seeing the posture of dozens of large and small caravans, they were mostly large caravans.

When I heard this, I put down the bamboo gun in my hand, flew and ran out of the hare forest.

The bamboo gun is a new javelin invented by Dad Lauren and me. It is made of two-year-old tender bamboos and dried. It is about one meter long and has a small iron gun tip on the top, which can be thrown. Although its power is not half of the authentic iron javelin, it is better because it is easy to obtain materials and is cheap. The cost is less than one-tenth of the iron javelin. And it can be used to take out thousands of thousands of them at any time. If it is broken, just take off the iron gun tip and rebuilt it.

For example, now, we have reserved 30,000 bamboo guns, long spear teams, big sword teams and cavalry teams for training, and the effect is very good. Seeing the bamboo guns thrown into the ground into forests, it is really a very lethal weapon.

As my thoughts turned around, I had already followed my friends, and followed me to the small bridge blocked by the river. When I saw the caravan with hundreds of people, I felt excited.

Of course, the caravan was not just merchants and friends, but also fifty or sixty fully armed bodyguards. They were well-equipped and could tell with just looking at them that they must have fought a war.

At this moment, Ba Ye and the others rushed over and were talking to a fat middle-aged man in the lead.

The status of a businessman is very low, so the fat middle-aged man looks very easy to talk to with a smile on his face.

But we all know that this is an illusion. These caravans are very unwilling to buy and try hard to lower the price when they buy and raise the price when they sell. But they also have the source of goods, so there is no way. Many villages can only be slaughtered by them, even our Sanguo Village was the same before.

Listening to their words, the fat middle-aged man's name is Shiqiulang, who comes from Qiansui. The caravan brought a large number of various goods to ensure that we are satisfied.

There are a lot of things that Sanguo Village needs to lack, but what we need most is war horses.

The cavalry team had only 178 horses, which made the cavalry team 300 people, all of which were replaced with horses to train. One person and one horse could not be guaranteed, let alone the Daliao Kingdom's two horses and even three horses during the battle.

So Baye said at the beginning, "We need five hundred horses. What price do you need to get it for us?"

Shiqiulang's expression of confidence was immediately hit. His little eyes were wide open and he almost screamed, "Five hundred horses? Master Xiangdao, what are you going to do?"

"It's nothing, it's just for self-defense." Ba Ye was very satisfied that his arrogance was suppressed, "Didn't you say you can buy anything? Is this OK?"

"Impossible!" Shiqiuro's head shook quickly, "The entire Chitose City only has more than one thousand horses, and the largest number of Sapporo City is less than two thousand. They want to sell 500 for you. What do they use for themselves?"

After a pause, a light flashed in Shiqiulang's eyes, "Master Xiangdao, why do you want so many horses for a small harbor? Do you want to conquer the entire Eagle Island?"
