History’s Strongest Husband

It has only been one and a half months since Shen Lang's 2,000 people landed on the Tidal Islands, and everything can be described as surprisingly smooth.

No resistance was encountered after landing on the island, because there was no one here at all.

Many years ago, it used to be a mine of the Russo family, specializing in iron smelting. Now there are many mines and abandoned smelting workshops.

But a few years ago, Duke Dibos gave up the mine.

why? Because the sulfur content of the iron ore here is too high, the iron produced is too brittle.

Of course, even so, it is a mine after all, and even smelting domestic iron can have huge benefits, but later the Russo family discovered a higher-grade iron mine, so they gave up the mine.

So Shen Lang's 2,000 people easily occupied this place and began to forge the city.

That's right, a city!

Generally speaking, how long does it take to build a city, even a castle?

It took more than ten years for Qiu Tianwei's big castle in Raging Tide City, more than twenty years for the Russo family's duke's castle, and twenty-seven years for the palace of the Queen's City to be completed.

How long will Shen Lang's city be built?

The goal Shen Lang set was to build a city with 100,000 people in half a year.

When he said this goal, the people below were stunned, thinking that he was talking in his sleep.

How big is a city of 100,000 people? No matter how crowded it is, it still needs about ten square kilometers. A city of six miles in length and width can be built with 2,000 people. If only wood is used, it will take about two or three years to build, and if stone is used, it will take about five years.

Half a year is really like a dream come true.

But just like a magician, one new thing after another broke out, which is simply dizzying.

First of all, he abandoned the two building materials of wood and stone.

These two things are very good, but too waste of time.

The first thing he brought out was cement.

Maybe someone will say,

Isn't cement this thing slower? It has to be calcined and crushed, which is completely labor-intensive industry.

This is half right, but who let Shen Lang find a treasured land of geomantic omen.

Not far away is Fire Island with an active volcano that erupts every few years. So what is the most volcanic island?

volcanic ash.

When it is added with lime, it becomes pozzolanic cement. It sounds very primitive, but this cement is already very strong.

You just need to send a ship to continuously transport the volcanic ash back. As for the lime? There are several lime mines in Bichao Peninsula where Shen Lang is located.

So the output of cement has been very high almost from the beginning, it all depends on the capacity of his fleet.

As for the second thing, it is even less rare, and that is bricks.

He used thousands of people to burn bricks, and erected one brick kiln after another.

As soon as these bricks were fired, they were immediately built into houses.

All two-storey small buildings, because there is no steel bar yet, relying on bricks and cement to build up to two floors.

Even later, Shen Lang felt that the speed of building a house like this was still too slow, so he simply manufactured large cement bricks on a large scale, so that building a house would be faster.

Therefore, the development of Bichao Peninsula is changing with each passing day.

One after another, houses have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

……………………

Now, just one and a half months have passed, and a medium-to-large town has taken shape.

Shen Lang has not only 2,000 people, but has soared to 5,000 people. The remaining 3,000 people are all slaves. He bought them with money. Of course, after buying them, they all gave them the status of free citizens.

But these slaves didn't seem to feel particularly happy, they were still numb, but when they moved into the new house, the ecstasy could no longer be suppressed.

Almost all the slaves live in a pigsty, even the slaves of the nobles, there are dozens of people living in one room, but when Shen Lang comes here, there are two people living in one room, twelve people live in a house, and they are so happy that they are crying.

And these brick flat-roofed houses are like palaces to these slaves.

However, the work efficiency of these slaves is really much slower than that of the army. It is not that they are not working hard enough, but that they are too stupid. Most of the slaves can only do the simplest and repetitive work, such as burning bricks, such as burning lime, and then For example, cement is made according to a fixed ratio.

But after buying these slaves, Shen Lang's 2,000 troops were finally freed from boring jobs, and they could go to more advanced jobs.

………………………

Shen Lang has already opened the box that Jiang Li left behind.

It was opened early, because when the moonlight shone on it, a series of Roman numerals and Latin letters appeared on the face of the case.

This is still a password box, and Shen Lang was really amazed at that time. There is no doubt that this is another product of an ancient civilization, and there must be a nightmare stone inside as a source of energy.

So what is the password for this box? There are as many as nineteen in total.

It would be impossible for other people to open this box, but Shen Lang could see its password almost at a glance.

It's too obvious that there is a circle on the surface of the box, so there is no doubt that it will be pi.

So Shen Lang pressed 3.141592653589793 in Roman letters, and the box opened immediately.

It was full, including five bottles of elixir, five volumes of ancient books, and various materials recorded by Jiang Li, totaling more than hundreds of thousands of words.

After Shen Lang finished reading it, he was really amazed, this is simply a huge treasure.

In particular, many of the materials recorded by Jiang Li are key secrets of the entire Western world.

But the embarrassing thing was that this box was not reserved for Shen Lang, but for Princess Helen.

Shen Lang loves his daughter very much, and Jiang Li is no exception, but when Princess Helen was born, he left the New World and returned to the Yan Dynasty, so he left the most precious thing for his daughter.

During this month and a half, Shen Lang spent most of his time studying these treasures left by His Majesty Jiang Li.

It is simply too important, it is completely the guiding light for Shen Lang to open up the situation.

Give a few examples.

Jiang Li told Helen in the file where there is a huge fire oil mine. The so-called kerosene, of course, is oil.

Where there are large gold mines, there are iron mines of the highest grade.

These are not counted, the key point is that he also marked the location of two ancient ruins, as well as the history and taboos of the Amazon female warrior tribe, as well as their many secrets.

In short, the box left by His Majesty Jiang Li is simply a huge treasure for Shen Lang, and he spends sleepless nights studying it every day.

………………

And during this month and a half, Zhang Chunhua was really tired and vomited blood.

As the lord, Shen Lang really didn't do anything, he just ordered to do this and that, and all the arrangements were handed over to Zhang Chunhua, as well as the Tianya Haige students she brought.

The internal affairs of 5,000 people have already made her exhausted, and she does not sleep for more than three hours a day.

Because everything starts from scratch, God knows how difficult it is.

Fortunately, the shelves had already been set up at this time, and she finally didn't have to do everything herself.

"Shen Lang, we have no money."

Zhang Chunhua walked in, sat down directly in front of her, and drank a cup of tea.

"No money?" Shen Lang said in astonishment: "Didn't we bring more than three hundred thousand gold coins with us when we left Queen's City?"

"The flowers are over." Zhang Chunhua said.

Shen Lang was amazed, how quickly did he spend?

"We have purchased food for more than one hundred thousand people, we have purchased a large amount of cotton cloth, we have purchased a large amount of pig iron, we have purchased a large number of blacksmiths, we have purchased a large amount of seeds, we have purchased 3,000 slaves, and there are 20,000 more slaves at sea. on the way."

"Half a month ago, you swiped a pen and wanted to buy 13 sea-going ships. Even if you asked me to sell them, I wouldn't be able to make so much money."

"In addition, Your Excellency Shen Lang, may I ask, why did you buy these things?"

Shen Lang said: "What is it?"

"You bought 150 pieces of silk for 30 gold coins, in various colors. Why?"

"And this gold and white jade belt, you bought ten at once? Why is that?"

"The most expensive sturgeon caviar, and one hundred and fifty live deer, and three hundred cows, two hundred and seventy cattle, fifteen years of red wine, white wine, sweet, semi-sweet, Five hundred and thirty barrels of dry red and dry white."

"All kinds of flower essences, a total of three hundred and fifty-six bottles."

"There are also combs, horn combs, ivory combs, and jade combs, totaling more than a hundred."

"There are also all kinds of gems. You bought more than three hundred catties. This is the first time I've seen people who buy gems by catty."

"My lord, what are you buying these things for?"

Shen Lang said: "Use, eat, drink."

Zhang Chunhua was about to cry, wishing he could just pick up the stool under his buttocks and smash the future emperor to death.

This, when is this? As a monarch, you are leisurely lying down and reading books every day, and you still live a life like a prince.

This is a difficult business for us. What you use to buy luxury enjoyment is more than tens of thousands of gold coins.

Are you really planning to fight back to the Great Yan Empire? Why do I feel that it is unreliable to follow a monarch like you.

Immediately, Zhang Chunhua said solemnly: "Shen Lang, you are my lord, so I have to advise you, starting a business is hard, how can you be so extravagant and wasteful? We are an overseas exile regime, and we are in trouble. What qualifications do we have to waste? You are so extravagant and invincible. I am worthy of the ancestors and the people who are loyal to you..."

Before Zhang Chunhua finished speaking, he stopped.

Because Shen Lang brought a glass of semi-sweet wine to her mouth and directly fed her to drink it.

Then, he cut a piece of medium-ripe steak and fed it to her mouth.

In the end, she put on a gemstone necklace and brought a gorgeous dress.

"It's so fragrant..." Zhang Chunhua said: "This dress is so pretty, but I still need a brooch. The jewelry in Monroe City is the most exquisite. Next time we can go and buy those brooches and hair flowers."

Just like that, Zhang Chunhua went back in a daze with a lot of presents in his arms.

But after a while, did she come back again? This time she didn't reprimand Shen Lang for his wasteful prodigal, but said bitterly: "Shen Lang, we really have no money. Last time we sent 13 ships to the pirates." They have already brought the ship, and they will be docking soon, and the ship will be handed over with the money. If there is no ship, we will not be able to transport enough volcanic ash, and the output of cement will be greatly limited.”

Shen Lang said: "How much money do you need this time?"

"One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins." Zhang Chunhua said.

Shen Lang was astonished and said, "Why don't they go grab it? A sea ship costs more than 10,000 gold coins?"

Zhang Chunhua said: "It is true that they snatched this ship from thousands of miles away. The price is very expensive, but it is also bought at the cost of human life. The profits at sea cannot be compared with the business on land. Life should be more profitable. And every ship has its own sailors, the price is not expensive at all.”

Some people say that the person who owns the black pearl is a pirate, so why don't you go and snatch it yourself?

Absolutely not!

Rabbits don't eat grass by the side of their nests, Shen Lang must rely on normal trade to vigorously develop his city.

As long as others can make money from you, pirates and sea merchants will continue to ship things to you to sell.

This is the most effective way to obtain resources. Once your reputation is destroyed, no one will do business with you.

"How many gold coins do we have?" Shen Lang asked.

Zhang Chunhua said: "Twenty thousand."

Shen Lang is a little embarrassed, he is really a bit ruthless in prodigal, and once he has money, he can't help spending it all the time.

These thirteen ships are really important. Not only are these ships needed to transport volcanic ash, but also a large number of ships are needed to transport saltpeter.

It can be said that sea boats are the lifeblood of Shen Lang, more than 10,000 gold coins may seem expensive, but how much time can it save Shen Lang.

"How long will it take for these ships to dock?" Shen Lang asked.

"It's less than ten days away," Zhang Chunhua said.

Shen Lang said: "That's fine, I'll go out for a while."

Zhang Chunhua said: "Where are you going?"

"Go to Bijin City." Shen Lang said: "Go to make money."

Zhang Chunhua said: "You, don't you really want to sell your body?"

Shen Lang bared his nose and said: "Look at what you said, how is it possible? No matter how I say it, I am the future Emperor, how could I sell my body? Your thoughts are very dangerous. Whenever you are short of money, you will go in that direction." Thinking about it, I followed that sentence, if a woman turns bad, she will have money."

"Let me reiterate that I am the future Human Emperor. I am the most honorable person in the world. My conduct must be flawless. To say that I betrayed my body? It is an insult to the Human Emperor."

Zhang Chunhua bowed and saluted, "I was wrong, Your Majesty the Emperor."

………………

Two and a half days later!

Shen Lang in disguise appeared in Bijin City.

This is an ordinary house, but after entering, it is magnificent.

It can be seen that the owner of this house is very rich, but because the blood is not high, the appearance of the house should not be too high-profile.

This is the sorrow of the Vida tribe. No matter how rich you are, you can only be in the middle and lower classes of the Xilun Dynasty, and you can only live at the foot of the Bijin City, while those poor white people can live on the mountainside, even if they have no money. Step on top of your head.

"Honey, you...you really came to me? I miss you so much."

A beautiful woman rushed forward and immediately kissed Shen Lang.

After a while, the two rolled together, and all the clothes on their bodies disappeared.

Meng Luolan, who was protecting Shen Lang outside, felt his scalp tingle after hearing this.

Is this... is this the monarch we want to serve?

She could hear it clearly, before Shen Lang kept saying that he was a noble Emperor, and he must be flawless.

In the end, in order to ask for money, he really slept with a beautiful female sea merchant.

This, isn't this a betrayal of his body?

There is simply no bottom line, not like a gentleman. Queen Medusa, whom she had served before, was so noble and lofty.

Why is there such a big gap between people?

………………

After more than half an hour.

"My love, weren't you in Queen's City a few months ago? Aren't you the husband of Queen Medusa? Why did you come back to see poor and humble Hill?" Black Widow Hill said softly.

Did she miss Shen Lang these few months? I miss it so much that every time I think about it, I feel like I'm drunk.

But lovesickness? Can't do without him?

no!

Hill is a very independent woman, and when she is with the man she loves, she will unreservedly release her enthusiasm.

But after separation, she will go back to her own life, and she can live well without a man.

Shen Lang said: "Honey, I want to do a business with you."

Hill's beautiful eyes trembled, she didn't want to hear this word, she said before that she would marry Shen Lang and share all the wealth with him, it was completely true, once married and had children, it would be a family, everything would be family property.

But right now it is obviously impossible for Shen Lang to marry her. She can give Shen Lang many gifts, even the most precious ones, to express her love.

But give money directly? That won't work! Going against her principles as a sea merchant.

Hill pulled away from Shen Lang's arms, put on the silk pajamas, and said seriously: "Honey, I love you so much, I am so fascinated by you. But love is love, and business is business. If you want to do business with me If not, then I can only follow the rules of the sea merchants."

Shen Lang said: "Of course."

Hill said: "Then what business do you want to do with me? My beloved man, do you want to sell your body to me? That's fine too, ten gold coins once, this is already the highest price."

Black Widow Hill felt that what she said just now was too serious, so she added another sentence provocatively and affectionately.

Shen Lang said softly: "But Hill is priceless to me. Every time I'm with you, I feel like I'm sinking in heaven. I'm willing to give everything in exchange for a night of happiness with you."

As he spoke, he opened the box carefully, and took out a bowl and a wine glass from it.

Hill's eyes lit up immediately, and he tremblingly said, "Porcelain?"

Doing business in the West is completely different from the East. Some things are not worth much in the Eastern world, but are very valuable in the Western world.

Before the East and the West had not completely cut off communication, the silk, tea, and porcelain from the Eastern world had entered the Western world, causing a huge fascination just like the ancient times on the earth.

Later, after the communication between the Eastern and Western worlds was completely cut off, some people from the eastern world entered the Xilun Dynasty, found wild silkworms in the wild, and began to raise large-scale captivity, barely cultivating the silk industry of the Xilun Dynasty.

But even so, the price of silk in the Xilun Dynasty was still more than five times that of the Dayan Empire, because their output was much lower.

Tea is relatively simple. Once the tea strains are discovered, they are transplanted on a large scale. Now the Xilun Dynasty has already had a large number of tea gardens, and the price of tea is only one and a half times that of the Dayan Dynasty.

But porcelain is difficult. People who fled from the Eastern world to the Xilun Dynasty were either soldiers or nobles. Who would burn porcelain?

The history on the earth is the same. Although the Western world bought Chinese porcelain very early, it was not until modern times that it began to produce its own porcelain. Over thousands of years, silverware and pottery were used extensively in Europe and Central Asia.

The same is true in the Xilun Dynasty today. The wealthy nobles used gold, the rich used silver, and ordinary people used pottery.

porcelain? With the interruption of trade, it has already become a masterpiece. Only a few aristocrats have porcelain in their homes. Every time you have a noble banquet, if your family does not have porcelain, you will be ridiculed.

In the entire Xilun Dynasty, porcelain was the most high-end vessel, and gold and silver were below it. Rare is more expensive, always true.

Hill shines the china set up to the lamp.

It is simply amazing, smooth as jade, as thin as paper, and there are gorgeous patterns on it, which are not painted, but fired.

These three pieces of porcelain are even more precious than those of Duke Dibos's family.

This is of course, Shen Lang lived in Duke Dibosi's mansion for a long time, and he knew that her family had dozens of sets of porcelain, which was a top wealthy family, and these porcelains were considered treasures even in the Great Yan Empire.

However, they are not as good as the three samples that Shen Lang took out.

Shen Lang's three pieces of porcelain are simply made from the culmination of thousands of years of porcelain craftsmanship on the earth.

For fifty days, thousands of pieces were fired, but only a few dozen pieces were finished, and the rest failed.

How can such a treasure not be amazing?

How not to be shocked?

Shen Lang pointed to the small bowl and said, "How much is this bowl worth?"

Hill shone carefully at the light, then her delicate body trembled, and tears welled up.

Because this bowl of white jade is flawless, so thin and transparent, it looks like there is no pattern, but under the strong light, you can see an extremely delicate pattern, even a bit like a watermark on a banknote.

And this pattern is the portrait of Hill. So stunning, so ingenious.

"It is priceless to me." Hill said: "I want to pass it on from generation to generation."

Shen Lang said: "How much can such a bowl sell in the outside market?"

Hill said: "Is it sold on a large scale, or is it sold on a small scale like a luxury?"

Shen Lang said: "Large scale."

Hill thought for a while and said, "Because the trade between the East and the West has been cut off for a long time, there is only one piece of broken porcelain from the Xilun Dynasty, and the price is already abnormally high. A good porcelain bowl probably costs more than a few dozen gold coins. .And this porcelain bowl far exceeds the level of the existing porcelain bowls of the Xilun Dynasty, so it should be able to sell for a high price. But considering that once it is supplied on a large scale, the scarcity will decrease. But it will definitely become popular The entire Xilun Dynasty, even if there is no such porcelain at that time, it will be a shame to the nobility."

"So, I think fifteen gold coins for such a bowl is a very reasonable price."

This Shen Lang's estimate was about the same, because what was sold was not a living utensil at all, but a status symbol, which was completely a luxury.

Fifteen gold coins is already an absolute huge profit.

Shen Lang said: "From now on, I will provide you with four thousand sets of porcelain every month, how about you selling them exclusively?"

Hill's eyes widened, and she tremblingly said, "Then I can abandon all my business and multiply my assets several times in a few years. I can't even imagine how my family can undertake such a huge business."

Shen Lang said: "I don't care how much you sell, five pieces of porcelain for each set, and a set of five gold coins for you, how about it?"

Hill said: "Then I will become one of the richest women in the entire South."

Shen Lang said: "But I need to pay 250,000 gold coins in advance, do you have any?"

Hill said: "I have a lot of money, because my family has accumulated wealth for hundreds of years, but the 250,000 gold coins you want are already more than half of my existing gold."

Shen Lang said: "This requires you to give me great trust. If I am a liar, then you will lose half of the family's gold. Of course I hope you can trust my personal charm, but as a business partner of the city, I can invite you Visit my base."

"No, I promise you first and give you the money before I go to visit your base." Hill said: "My gold is hidden in a very secret place, you give me the address, and I will transport the gold there. "

Shen Lang said: "It's a deal, it's a happy cooperation."

……………………

Seven days later!

Hill's ship appeared on the pier of Bichao Peninsula and brought in 250,000 gold coins.

She didn't board Shen Lang's base, as if that was the only way to trust him.

But Shen Lang boarded her sea boat and took more than an hour to get off.

When he came down, his legs were a little soft.

Those who disembarked with him also had 250,000 gold coins, a total of more than 100 boxes.

Zhang Chunhua was stunned.

Is the future emperor so valuable?

Can you earn so many gold coins by selling your body once?

No wonder you, Shen Lang, spend money like dirt, your money comes so easily.

But who is it that paid for Shen Lang's Spring Breeze? Could it be an old and ugly woman?

After a while, she saw this woman who spent a lot of money.

He is a member of the Vida tribe, but he is very beautiful and has a body that is so good that most oriental women are jealous.

The key point is that she looked at Shen Lang with affectionate eyes, as hot as fire.

Once a handsome man is shameless, he can do whatever he wants.

Hill's fleet left, leaving behind 250,000 gold coins.

Shen Lang and Zhang Chunhua looked at the mountain of gold coins.

"Shen Lang, you are too shameless as a human emperor to actually sell your body."

Shen Lang couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't sell my body."

Zhang Chunhua said: "I don't blame you, if you can sell 250,000 gold coins at a time, then everything is worth it, why don't you sell it again?"

Me, my day!

Fairy, if I hadn't really run out of strength, I would let you experience what two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins are once.

I'll let you bleed hard once.

………………

at the same time!

A powerful fleet appeared in the sea area of ​​the Devil's Triangle.

This is the joint fleet of Tianyahai Pavilion, Zhutian Pavilion, and Futu Mountain, after half a year of preparation. This adventure fleet was finally formed successfully, and it was completely modeled on the big ship of the Jin family.

Especially the lightning protection measures are completely copied.

Because the ship designed by Shen Lang is difficult to keep secret. Although it was designed by Shen Lang, it was built by Tiandaohui.

Now Tianyahaige has obtained the complete blueprint, and even learned the principle of lightning protection.

The most frightening thing about entering the Devil's Triangle is the lightning strike, because the countless lightning bolts have no rules at all, and there is no way to avoid them.

After any ship enters, it will be crushed by lightning soon.

After getting the blueprint of Shen Lang's mine-proof ship, they transformed five large ships and conducted many experiments, which fully proved that this new type of ship can protect against mines.

Originally, the six detached forces had already interrupted the plan to explore the Devil's Triangle.

But it's different now, the Jin family may have entered the Devil's Triangle, and Shen Lang also flew into the Devil's Triangle on that huge ball.

That's right, until now the entire Great Yan Empire thought that Shen Lang had also entered the Devil's Triangle.

In the end, the scene where the tornado swept him away was too far away, and because of the darkness and the tornado's cover, he didn't see the process of Shen Lang's hot air balloon being swept away at all.

"Your Majesty has a decree. Jiang Li's son, Shen Lang, and his family, must see people when they are born, and corpses when they die."

"Enter the Devil's Triangle!"

Following Princess Ning Han's order, the combined fleet of the three major forces suddenly sailed into the forbidden area of ​​human beings, the Devil's Triangle!

………………

Note: Today's two is closer to 16,000! Defending the third place in the monthly ticket, all benefactors will help!
