422 Awesome master Tian lang! Exploring the Devil’s Triangle!

It had only been one and a half months since Shen Lang’s 2000 men landed on the blue Tide Peninsula, and everything was surprisingly smooth.

They didn’t encounter any resistance when they landed on the island because there was no one there.

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

But a few years ago, Duke dybosse had given up on this mine.

Why? This was because the sulfur content of the iron ore here was too high, and the iron that was refined was too brittle.

Of course, even so, it was a mine after all. Even if iron was used for smelting, there would be huge benefits. However, the Russo family later found a higher grade iron ore, so they gave up on the mine.

Therefore, Shen Lang’s 2000 men easily occupied this place and started to build the city.

Yes, it was a city!

How long would it take to build a city, even a Castle?

Qiu Tianwei’s furious tide city castle took more than ten years to build, the Russo family’s Duke Castle took more than twenty years to build, and the Queen’s city’s Palace took twenty-seven years to complete.

How long would Shen lang need to build this city?

Shen Lang’s goal was to build a city that could accommodate 100000 people in half a year.

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

How big was a city with a population of 100000? No matter how crowded it was, it would still take about ten square kilometers. A city that spanned six miles and was built by two thousand people would take about two to three years if wood was used. If stone was used, it would take about five years.

Half a year’s time was really like a fool’s dream.

However, like a magician, he revealed one new thing after another, which was too much for the eyes to take in.

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

These two things were good, but they were too time-consuming.

The first thing he took out was cement.

Some people might say, ” isn’t cement even slower? ” It was a completely labor-intensive industry to burn and crush them.

He was half right, but Shen lang found a good place with good feng shui.

There was an Inferno Island not far away. There was an active volcano on it that would erupt every few years. Then what was the most common thing on the volcano Island?

Volcanic ash.

When it was mixed with lime, it would become volcanic ash cement. It sounded very primitive, but in fact, this kind of cement was already very strong.

All he needed to do was to send ships to bring back the volcanic ash. As for the lime? There were a few lime mines in the blue Tide Peninsula where Shen lang was.

Therefore, the production of cement was already very high from the beginning, and it was completely dependent on the transportation capacity of his fleet.

As for the second item, it was even less rare. It was a brick.

He had used up to a thousand people to make bricks, setting up brick kilns after brick kilns.

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

They were all two-story buildings. As there were no steel bars, they could only build two floors with bricks and cement.

In the end, Shen lang felt that it was still too slow to build the houses like this. He decided to mass-produce cement bricks and build the houses faster.

Therefore, the development of the blue Tide Peninsula was simply changing with each passing day.

One by one, houses were built up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

……………………

It had only been half a month, and a medium to large town had already been formed.

The number of people under Shen Lang’s command had increased from 2000 to 5000. The remaining 3000 were all slaves that he had bought with money. Of course, after he bought them, he gave them the status of free people.

However, the slaves did not seem to be particularly happy. They were still in a daze. When they moved into the new house, they could no longer suppress their ecstasy.

Almost all the slaves lived like pigsty. Even the slaves of the aristocrats lived in a room for dozens of people. When they came to Shen Lang’s place, they lived in a room for two people. 12 people lived in a house. They were so happy that they wanted to cry. It was much more convenient for them to settle their private matters.

To the slaves, these flat brick-roofed houses were like palaces.

However, the work efficiency of these slaves was much slower than that of the Army. It was not that they were not hardworking enough, but that they were too stupid. Most of the slaves could only do the simplest and repetitive work, such as burning bricks, burning lime, and making cement according to a fixed ratio.

However, after buying these slaves, the 2000 soldiers under Shen lang were finally freed from their boring work. They could now do more advanced work.

…………………………

Shen lang had already opened the box that Jiang Li left.

It had been opened a long time ago, because when the moonlight shone on it, a series of Roman numbers and Latin letters would appear on the surface of the box.

It was a password-protected box. Shen lang was shocked. There was no doubt that it was a product of an ancient civilization, and there must be a nightmare stone as the source of energy.

What was the password to the box? There were a total of nineteen of them.

It was impossible for anyone else to open the box, but Shen lang could tell the password with one look.

It couldn’t be more obvious. There was a circle on the surface of the box, so it was undoubtedly Pi.

Therefore, Shen lang pressed 3.141592653589793 in the Roman alphabet, and the box opened.

It was full of five bottles of elixirs, five ancient books, and all kinds of information recorded by Jiang Li. There were more than hundreds of thousands of words.

After Shen lang finished reading it, he was in awe. This was a huge treasure.

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

However, the awkward thing was that this box was not for Shen lang, but for Princess Helen.

Shen lang loved his daughter dearly, and Jiang Li was no exception. However, not long after Princess Helen was born, he left the New World for the Great Yan Dynasty. Therefore, he left the most precious thing for his daughter.

In the past one and a half months, Shen lang spent most of his time studying the treasures that Emperor Jiang Li left behind.

It was simply too important, and it was the guiding light for Shen lang to open up the situation.

To give a few examples.

Jiang Li told Helen in the information that there was a huge kerosene mine. The so-called kerosene was, of course, petroleum.

There were large gold mines and high-grade iron ores.

That was not all. The key was that he also marked the locations of two ancient ruins, as well as the history, taboos, lifelines of the Amazons, and many other secrets about them.

In short, the box left by Emperor Jiang Li was a huge treasure to Shen lang. He studied it day in and day out.

………………

Zhang Chunhua was so exhausted that she almost vomited blood during the month and a half.

As the leader, Shen lang did not do anything. He only gave orders and left all the arrangements to Zhang Chunhua and the sky-Sea Pavilion disciples that she brought.

The internal affairs of 5000 people had already left her overwrought. She did not sleep more than six hours a day.

Because everything had to start from scratch, and only God knew how difficult it was.

Fortunately, the frame had already been set up, so she finally didn’t have to do everything herself.

Shen lang, we have no more money.

Zhang Chunhua walked in and sat down in front of him, gulping down a cup of tea.

“You don’t have money?” “Didn’t we bring 300000 gold coins with us when we left the Queen’s city?” Shen lang was shocked.

“I’ve spent it all.” Zhang Chunhua said.

Shen lang was shocked. It was spent so quickly?

“We’ve bought food for more than one hundred thousand people, large amounts of cotton, pig iron, large amounts of blacksmiths, large amounts of seeds, and three thousand slaves. We still have twenty thousand slaves on the sea.”

“Half a month ago, you wanted to buy 13 ships. Even if you asked me to sell them, I wouldn’t be able to make that much money.”

also, Mr. Shen lang, may I ask why you are buying these things? ”

“What is it?” Shen lang asked.

“Thirty gold coins for a bundle of silk, and you bought 150 bundles of all kinds of colors. Why?”

“And this gold and white jade belt, you bought ten of them at once? Why is that so?”

the most expensive sturgeon caviar, 150 live deer, 300 dairy cows, 270 yellow cattle, and 530 barrels of 15-year-old red wine, white wine, sweet, half-sweet, dry red, and dry white wine.

“Various flower essences, a total of 356 bottles.”

there are also more than a hundred combs, such as the ox horn comb, the Ivory comb, and the Jade comb.

there are also all kinds of gemstones. You bought more than 300 pounds. This is the first time I’ve seen gemstones being measured by pounds.

“Your Majesty, may I ask what you are buying these things for?”

“Use, eat, and drink,” Shen lang said.

Zhang Chunhua was on the verge of tears. She wished she could just pick up a stool and smash the future human Emperor to death.

W-what time was it now? As a monarch, you have to lie down and read books leisurely every day, and you also have to live a noble-like life.

We’re having a difficult time starting a business. The things you’ve used to buy luxury and enjoyment are more than tens of thousands of gold coins.

Are you really preparing to fight your way back to the great Yan Empire? Why do I feel that following a monarch like you is very unreliable?

Immediately, Zhang Chunhua said in a serious tone, ” Shen lang, you are my King. Therefore, I have to warn you. It’s hard to start a business. How can you be so extravagant and wasteful? we are an exiled regime overseas. We have worked hard. What right do we have to be wasteful? ” How can you face your ancestors and your people who are loyal to you?”

Zhang Chunhua stopped before she could finish her sentence.

That was because Shen lang placed a glass of half-sweet wine in front of her and fed it to her.

Then, he cut open a medium-rare steak and fed it to her.

In the end, he gave her a gem necklace and a gorgeous dress.

it’s so fragrant, ” Zhang Chunhua said. this dress is so beautiful, but we’re still missing a brooch. The jewelry in Meng Luo city is the most exquisite. Next time, we can go and buy those brooches and headbands.

Just like that, Zhang Chunhua went back home in a daze with a huge pile of gifts in her arms.

However, she returned after a while. This time, she did not reprimand Shen lang for being wasteful. Instead, she said bitterly, ” Shen lang, we really don’t have any more money. We ordered 13 ships from the Pirates last time, and they have already brought the ships over. They will dock very soon. We will hand over the ship and the money at the same time. If we don’t have a ship, we won’t be able to transport enough volcanic ash, and the production of cement will be greatly limited.

“How much do you need this time?” Shen lang asked.

“150000 gold coins.” Zhang Chunhua said.

Shen lang was shocked,”why don’t they just Rob?” A ship costs more than 10000 gold coins?”

“This ship was indeed robbed by them from thousands of miles away,” Zhang Chunhua said.”They exchanged it with their lives. The profits from the sea could not be compared to the business on land. A life of bloodshed should be more profitable. Moreover, every ship has its own crew, so the price is not expensive at all.”

Some people said that the people of the Black Pearl were Pirates, so why didn’t they go and Rob them?

Absolutely not!

A rabbit would not eat the grass near its burrow. If Shen lang wanted to develop his city, he had to rely on normal trade.

As long as other people could make money from you, Pirates and sea merchants would continuously ship things to you to sell.

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

how many gold coins do we have? ” Shen lang asked.

“Twenty thousand,” Zhang Chunhua replied.

Shen lang felt embarrassed. He was a prodigal, and once he had money, he could not help but spend it.

These 13 ships were too important. Not only did they need to transport volcanic ash, but they also needed a large number of ships to transport saltpeter.

It could be said that ships were Shen Lang’s life. 10000 gold coins for a ship might seem expensive, but it could save Shen lang a lot of time.

“How long will it take for these ships to reach the shore?” Shen lang asked.

“Less than ten days.” Zhang Chunhua said.

“Alright, I’ll go out for a while,” Shen lang said.

“Where are you going?” Zhang Chunhua asked.

“Go to Jade Gold City.” “To earn money,” Shen lang said.

“You … You’re not really going to sell your soul, are you?” Zhang Chunhua asked.

Shen lang snorted and said, ” what are you saying? how is that possible? ” No matter what, I’m still the future human Emperor. How could I sell myself out? Your way of thinking is very dangerous. You think in that direction when you lack money. It’s true that a woman will be rich when she’s bad.”

let me make it clear again. I am the future human Emperor. I am the noblest person in the world. My character must be flawless. To say that I sold myself out is an insult to the human Emperor.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty,” Zhang Chunhua said with a bow.

………………

Two and a half days later!

Shen lang appeared in the Jade City in disguise.

It was an ordinary house, but after entering, it was a luxurious one.

It could be seen that the owner of the house was very rich, but because of his low bloodline, the appearance of the house could not be too high-profile.

This was the tragedy of the Vida race. No matter how rich you were, you could only live in the lower-middle class of the xilun dynasty and could only live at the foot of the mountain in Jade Gold City. On the other hand, the poor white people could live halfway up the mountain. Even if they had no money, they could still step over their heads.

“My dear, Yingluo, did you really come to find me? I’ve missed you so much.” A beautiful woman pounced on Shen lang and kissed him.

A moment later, the two of them were rolling around together.

Meng Roland, who was protecting Shen lang outside, felt his scalp go numb when he heard this.

Is this Yingluo the monarch we are supposed to be loyal to?

She had heard it clearly. Previously, Shen lang had said that he was the noble human Emperor and that he had to be golden and flawless.

In the end, for the sake of money, he really did fool around with a beautiful female sea merchant …

He simply had no bottom line and didn’t seem like a ruler. Queen Medusa, whom she had been loyal to before, was so noble and high above.

Why was there such a huge difference between people?

………………

Half an hour later.

“My dear, weren’t you in the Queen’s city a few months ago? Aren’t you the husband of Queen Medusa? Why did you come back to see the poor and lowly Hill?” Black Widow Hill said in a sweet voice.

Did she miss Shen lang for the past few months? He really wanted to.

But lovesickness? Can’t I live without him?

It wasn’t!

Scheer was a very independent woman. When she was with the man she loved, she would unreservedly express her love.

However, after they separated, she would return to her own life. She could live well without a man.

“Dear, I want to do business with you,” Shen lang said.

Scheer’s beautiful eyes trembled. She did not want to hear that word. When she said that she wanted to marry Shen lang and share all her wealth with him, she meant it. Once they got married and had children, they would be a family, and everything would be the family’s property.

However, it was obvious that Shen lang would not marry her. She could give Shen lang many gifts, no matter how precious they were, to express her love.

But to pay directly? That won’t do! It was against her principles as a sea merchant.

Hill pulled himself away from Shen Lang’s arms and put on his silk pajamas. He said seriously, ” “My dear, I love you very much. I’m simply head over heels for you. However, love was love, and business was business. If you want to do business with me, then I can only follow the rules of a sea merchant.”

“Of course,” Shen lang said.

“Then what business do you want to do with me?” The man I love, are you going to sell yourself to me? That’s fine, ten gold coins each time. That’s the highest price I can offer.”

Black Widow Hill felt that her words were too serious, so she added another sentence in a teasing and intimate way.

Shen lang said gently, ” however, Hill is priceless to me. Every time I’m with you, I’m extremely happy. I’m willing to do everything in exchange for every moment we have.

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

Hill’s eyes immediately lit up, and he said with a trembling voice, ” “Porcelain?”

Doing business in the East and the West was completely different. Some things were worthless in the East, but they were very valuable in the West.

Before the East and West had completely cut off all contact, silk, tea, and porcelain from the East had entered the West. Just like ancient times on earth, they had caused a huge wave.

After the communication between the East and West was completely cut off, some people from the East still entered the xilun dynasty and found wild silkworms in the wild. They began to rear them on a large scale, barely managing to develop the silk industry of the xilun dynasty.

Even so, the price of silk in the xilun dynasty was still five times that of the great Yan Empire, as their production was much lower.

The tea leaves were simple. Once a tea plant was discovered, it would be transplanted on a large scale. Currently, the xilun dynasty already had many tea gardens, and the price of tea leaves was only 1.5 times that of the Great Yan Dynasty.

However, it was difficult to make porcelain. The people who had escaped from the eastern world to the xilun dynasty were either soldiers or nobles. Who would know how to burn porcelain?

The history on earth was the same. Although the Western world had bought China’s porcelain a long time ago, they only started to produce their own porcelain in the modern era. For thousands of years, Europe and Central Asia had used a lot of silver and pottery. For a long time, China’s porcelain was extremely precious in the West.

It was the same in the xilun dynasty. The rich used gold, the rich used silver, and the common people used pottery.

Porcelain? With the interruption of trade, it had long become a peerless product and was extremely rare. Only a few noble families had porcelain. At every noble banquet, if you didn’t have porcelain in your house, you would be ridiculed.

In the entire xilun dynasty, porcelain was the most high-end vessel, a symbol of purity and luxury. Below it were gold and silver. The rarer something was, the more precious it would be. This was always correct.

Hill shone the light on the set of porcelain.

It was simply too stunning. It was as smooth as Jade and as thin as paper. Furthermore, there were gorgeous patterns on it. They weren’t drawn on, but burned.

These three pieces of porcelain were even more precious than the porcelain from Duke dybosse’s family.

Of course, Shen lang had lived in Duke dybosa’s mansion for a long time and knew that she had dozens of sets of porcelain. She was definitely from a top-tier family, and these porcelain pieces were considered precious even in the great Yan Empire.

However, they could not compare to the three samples that Shen lang took out.

Shen Lang’s three pieces of porcelain were made by combining thousands of years of porcelain craftsmanship on earth.

Over 50 days had passed, and thousands of them had been baked, but only a few dozen had been completed. The rest had all failed.

How could such a treasure not be stunning?

How could he not be shocked?

“How much is this bowl worth?” Shen lang pointed at the small bowl.

Scheer shined her body against the light, and then her delicate body trembled, and tears poured out.

This was because the White jade bowl was flawless. It was so thin that it was transparent, and it looked as if there was no pattern on it. However, under the strong light, one could see an extremely exquisite pattern, which even looked like a watermark on paper money.

And that pattern was Hill’s portrait. It was too stunning, too exquisite.

“It’s priceless to me.” “I’m going to pass it down for generations,” Hill said.

“How much can a bowl like this be sold for in the market?” Shen lang asked.

“Do you want to sell it on a large scale, or do you want to sell it on a small scale like a luxury item?” Hill asked.

“Large-scale,” Shen lang said.

Hill thought for a moment and said, ” because the trade between the East and the West has been cut off for a long time, the porcelain of the xilun dynasty is missing one piece every time it is broken. The price is already abnormally high. A good porcelain bowl is probably worth more than a few dozen gold coins. This porcelain bowl was far beyond the standard of the current porcelain bowls in the xilun dynasty, so it should be able to sell for a very high price. However, he considered that once it was supplied on a large scale, the rarity would decrease. However, it will definitely be popular throughout the xilun dynasty, and it will even be a shame for the nobles if they don’t have such porcelain.”

so, I think it’s a very reasonable price to set a bowl like this at fifteen gold coins.

Shen Lang’s estimation was about right because they were not selling household utensils at all. Instead, they were selling status symbols and were completely luxurious.

15 gold coins was already a huge profit.

“From now on, I’ll provide you with 4000 sets of porcelain every month. You’ll be the sole seller, how about it?” Shen lang said.

Hill’s eyes widened and she said with a trembling voice, ” then I can abandon all my businesses. I can double my assets in a few years. I can’t even imagine how my family can take on such a huge business.”

Shen lang said, ” I don’t care how much you are selling it for. Each set will have five pieces. I will sell it to you for five gold coins. How about it? ”

“Then I’ll become one of the richest women in the entire South,” Hill said.

“But I need 250000 gold coins in advance. Do you have it?” Shen lang said.

I have a lot of money, ” Hill said, ” because my family has accumulated wealth for hundreds of years, but the 250000 gold coins you want is more than half of the gold I have now.

Shen lang said, ” this requires you to trust me. If I am a liar, then you will lose half of the gold of your family. Of course, I hope you can believe in my personal charm, but as a business partner of the city, I can invite you to visit my base.”

“No, I’ll promise you first and give you the money. Then, I’ll visit your base.” my gold is hidden in a very secret place, ” Hill said. give me the address. I’ll ship the gold over.

it’s a deal, ” Shen lang said. happy cooperation.

……………………

Seven days later!

Hill’s ship appeared at the pier of the blue Tide Peninsula with 250000 gold coins.

She did not enter Shen Lang’s base as if that was the only way she could trust him.

However, Shen lang boarded her ship and only came down after two hours.

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

There were 250000 gold coins, more than 100 boxes, that followed him off the ship.

Zhang Chunhua was stunned.

Was the future human Emperor so valuable?

Could he earn so many gold coins just by selling it once?

No wonder Shen lang was so extravagant. Money came too easily.

However, who was the one who paid for Shen Lang’s one night stand? could it be an old and ugly woman?

A moment later, she saw the woman who had spent a huge sum of money.

She was a member of the Vida race, but she was very beautiful and had a great figure, which made most of the eastern women jealous.

The key was that she looked at Shen lang with love.

Once a handsome man was shameless, he would do whatever he wanted.

Hill’s fleet left, leaving behind 250000 gold coins.

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

Shen lang, you are too shameless. You actually betrayed yourself.

“I didn’t,” Shen lang said through gritted teeth.

I’m not blaming you, ” Zhang Chunhua said. if you can sell it for 250000 gold coins in one go, then everything is worth it. Why don’t you go and sell it again? ”

I’ll kill you, you Vixen.

………………

At the same time!

A powerful fleet had appeared in the Devil’s Triangle waters.

This was the result of the joint fleet of the sky-Sea Pavilion, the heaven-killing Pavilion, and stupa mountain after six months of preparation. This adventurer fleet was finally formed successfully, and it was completely modeled after the Jin family’s big ship.

The Thunderbolt-proof measures were exactly the same.

This was because the ship that Shen lang designed could no longer be kept a secret. Even though it was designed by him, the Heaven’s Will society was in charge of building it.

Now, the sky-Sea Pavilion had the complete drawing and even knew the principle of lightning protection.

The scariest thing about entering the great Devil’s Triangle was being struck by lightning, because there was no pattern to the countless bolts of lightning, and it was impossible to avoid them.

Any ship that entered would soon be destroyed by the lightning.

After they obtained the blueprint of Shen Lang’s lightning-proof ship, they modified five large ships and conducted many experiments. They proved that this new type of ship could withstand lightning.

Originally, the six great transcendent powers had already suspended their plans to explore the great Devil’s Triangle.

However, it was different now. The Jin family might have entered the great Devil’s Triangle, and Shen lang had also flown into the great Devil’s Triangle on that huge ball.

That’s right. Until now, everyone in the great Yan Empire thought that Shen lang had also entered the great Devil’s Triangle.

The scene where the tornado took him away was too far away. Furthermore, it was dark and the tornado blocked him. He did not see the process of Shen Lang’s hot air balloon being taken away.

“The Emperor has ordered that Jiang Li’s son, Shen lang, and his family must be seen alive and dead.”

“Enter the great Devil’s Triangle!”

Under Princess Ning Han’s command, the joint fleet of the three major forces suddenly sailed into the Forbidden Zone of mankind, the great Devil’s Triangle!
