……………………

Lin Zhensheng slowly scrolled down one by one, looking at it for a while.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that more and more people were talking on the channel, and various opinions were filled with it, as if... the game company had merged many servers.

This feels very strange, but I can’t tell for sure.

That’s all.

Better take care of yourself first.

"Dang Dang Dang~"

Lin Zhensheng heard someone knocking on the door, raised his head and said: "Please come in."

A citizen opened the door and came in front of him. He was respectful and said: "Your lord."

Lin Zhensheng knew that he worked in the Tu Kiln, so he couldn't help but ask: "What happened to the Tu Kiln?"

"Lord, the earthen kiln needs coal to burn, but..." The citizen shrugged and spread his hands.

Lin Zhensheng raised his eyebrows. He had just given them a large amount of coal some time ago, and the quantity was quite large. If he remembered correctly, it was ten tons of coal.

Running out so quickly?

Then this earthen kiln can be very powerful!

The citizen knew at a glance that Lin Zhensheng had misunderstood, and immediately explained: "Lord, at least three tons of coal are needed for each kiln firing."

"Now we have coal, but the quantity is not large. It is probably enough to burn it once."

"Of course, although the amount of coal is large, the harvest is also full, and overall it is very worthwhile."

"So Lord, I am not here to ask for coal this time, but to ask for coal in the future."

Lin Zhensheng and everyone were dumbfounded.

For the future?

Why don't you come here to ask for coal?

Oh my god, three tons of coal are used to burn the kiln at one time!!!

This is not a cave dwelling, it is simply a bottomless pit.

Regardless of whether the price of coal goes up or not, it has remained at around 2,000 tons. If the price goes up, how can we afford such a big business?

But the citizens are right, the role of the earthen kiln is irreplaceable.

Even if three tons of coal are burned at one time, it is still worth it.

Lin Zhensheng was about to go to the trading market and scan it, but suddenly he remembered that there was a coal mountain nearby, and now that the snow and ice had melted, the road was open, so it should meet the conditions for mining.

Instruct the citizens' association to continue working in the kiln. At this time, the countdown of the workbench is cleared and the stone dock is completed.

He can install the new dock.

There is no ice on the Dongliang River, and small wooden boats shuttle back and forth on it as if they are in a deserted land.

Lin Zhensheng did not rush to set up a new wharf, but took fifty or sixty people across the river to Meishan.

[Lin Zhensheng: Dongdong, what is the situation in the territory opposite Meishan now?]

[Shengdongdong: Same as before. There are basically no people in his territory, just like there is absolutely no one around.]

[Lin Zhensheng: Is there smoke from the chimney?]

[Shengdongdong: This is really hard to see clearly.]

[Shengdongdong: Brother, if you want to deal with him, take me with you.]

[Lin Zhensheng: I’ll go over and take a look first, and we’ll make a decision then. You keep an eye on him first.]

[Shengdongdong: Understand.]

The time came to noon, and Lin Zhensheng’s people finally gathered together.

Small wooden boats are really too slow, but it’s a pity that medium-sized wooden boats still need some time to build.

Go all the way east, through the dense forest to the Funnel Lake, walk along the edge of the lake, until the water inlet goes south, and reach the easternmost side of the Zhongshan Mountains.

Everyone arrived at Meishan, which is more than 500 meters high.

Meishan is still the same, but without the ice and snow, the half-red and half-black mountain is exposed.

This was Lin Zhensheng's third trip to Beishan. He led everyone to the top of the mountain, looked at the territory on the opposite side, and suddenly clucked his tongue and said: "This mess is too miserable!"

The few scattered mud houses were loose and miserable, and there was no smoke in the chimney.

The temperature is not as low as it was some time ago, but it is still around minus 20 degrees Celsius, which is very freezing. It freezes indoors without lighting a fireplace. Normal people can't bear it if they live in it.

Unless...

Lin Zhensheng frowned slightly, looking at the deathly silence on the other side, as if there was no life, as if there were no living things inside.

"Tsk, can't he be dead?"

He had serious doubts, even without any evidence.

"Whoever takes advantage cannot take advantage of others."

"Since he's done with this territory, it makes sense for me to go over and dismantle a workbench."

Lin Zhensheng nodded wisely and gave himself a thumbs up.

The problem now is that there is a Dongliang River between them. They don’t have a boat and people can’t get across.

Not to mention the small wooden boat, the water under the Beishan cliff is so fast that it cannot pass that level, let alone reach the foot of Meishan Mountain.

It seems that we can only wait until the medium-sized wooden boats are finished.

This is the only way now.

Lin Zhensheng immediately took out his shovel and shoveled hard.

"Hang~"

There was a sound of metal colliding.

The half-black and half-red unknown ore was poked out, revealing the pitch-black ore underneath.

There is no problem with the coal mine and it can be opened!

Lin Zhensheng endured the ecstasy in his heart and forced himself to calm down.

This is just the beginning, what comes next is the most important.

Transportation.

How to transport coal from the top of the mountain to the base camp is a problem.

There are two solutions.

First, just let the winter come over, and the coal will be mined and stored directly in the warehouse. This is convenient, fast and effective, but it will have to be stored at the Zhongshan Iron Mine.

No.

For the current territory, iron ingots are much more important than coal.

Even if Lin Zhensheng has no coal now, he can just buy it for just a few dollars on the market, two thousand and one tons.

If not, you can still contact Zhan Botong downstream and ask her to deliver the goods to your door for a cheaper price.

But that's not the case with iron ingots. They are expensive and not cost-effective to buy.

Second, build a road on the coal mountain, use vehicles to transport it to the foot of the mountain, and then transport it back to the base camp by medium-sized wooden boats.

This seems possible, but it requires a lot of manpower and living supporting facilities.

As for material security, it is not a problem. It only takes a medium-sized wooden ship to transport the materials back and forth.

The problem is that this is equivalent to opening a new sub-territory, and the citizens will be divided into parts again.

Hmm.

Just divide it and do it.

Lin Zhensheng pursed his lips and said nothing. After careful consideration, he found that he had no reason to stop himself.

It was already late at night when we returned to the base camp. Lin Zhensheng did not sleep, but sat in front of the workbench.

He needs to wait for the medium-sized wooden boat to be built, and he also needs some other preparations.

Two days later.

There is a boat parked next to the East Road Pier.

Medium-sized wooden boat, very large.

The total length is 110-120 meters, the width is 23-26 meters, the full load weight is 6,000 tons, and the draft is 3 meters.

This is too fierce.
