The Black Duke of the Pirate

Chapter 38 038. Construction of Armed Forces
After the liquor blending was completed, Lixiao took the time to go to Yeku Town and explained some important things again. Most of the garbage piled up in Yeku Town has been completely cleaned out, and after more than ten days of uninterrupted After reclamation and irrigation, the soil finally reached the basic planting requirements.

Wild Cave Town used to be a huge farmland a long time ago, because after the former farmer was executed by the nobles, the farm was abandoned and finally occupied by refugees, becoming a small town with piles of rubbish. As long as the soil is re-cultivated, it will naturally not Worried about problems with the grown products.

The seeds provided by the nobles have been planted under the guidance of experts. As the saying goes, spring grows in summer and grows in autumn, and winter is stored in autumn. Polkaya in March is the time when all things grow and life resumes. This is the perfect time to sow seeds.

The first batch of seeds planted were exactly the five kinds of sorghum, corn, rice, wheat, and sweet potatoes needed for Lixiao wine making. By the end of 1509, they would basically be available. Before that, these raw materials had to be supplied to Purchased outside.

After explaining a few words to Harvey, Li Xiao walked towards Chengfang Town.

As early as a few days ago, Clovis had completed the authorization he needed, and after further learning through Barron that the wine he brewed was a rare item, he also asked for a share, and made an appointment with Dorag before leaving. Therefore, Lixiao proposed to use the shareholding system to share the implementation.

People in this world naturally don't know about the shareholding system, but it is not difficult to understand that the transaction is initially completed after signing an equity agreement and a series of related rights with Dorag and Clovis respectively.

Drago provides a natural devil fruit, occupying [-]% of the shares of the dawn brewery. This devil fruit will be completed within a year. Of course, the prerequisite is that his brewery can make a profit of one billion within a year. Above Pele, this deal has an effect.

The profit is too low, small troubles, as a revolutionary, Drago has no interest at all, and the natural devil fruits are placed in underground auctions, and a few of them are worth billions of Baileys.

Clovis occupies 5.00% of the shares. At first he wanted to exchange money for the shares, but was rejected by Liming. Liming is not short of money at present. The one billion Bailey paid by Clovis has [-] million left, plus the The additional [-] million Baileys paid by Lowe, [-] million Baileys are enough for the start-up capital for the construction of the first batch of factories. Once the wine goes on sale, the funds can be revitalized, and by the end of the year, after the self-planted winemaking materials are harvested, It is completely possible to expand the scale of operation.

Lixiao was not short of money for the time being, so he made a suggestion to Clovis. Although he was strongly opposed by Clovis and Holt Barron at first, he finally agreed to the temptation of Lixiao to draw the blueprint of the future factory.

Clovis supplied one hundred flintlock muskets, two hundred polkayan sabers, and forty special sabers.

These weapons, besides being used to arm the private guards he organized during the riots and the pirates led by Mozel, are planned to be used by the expansion of the team in the future. As the saying goes, don't panic if you have a gun in your hand. It is a wise saying.

In Chengfang Town, the residence of Blatter, Lixiao was playing with an exquisite musket in his hand, which was specially presented by Clovis.

Although it is also a flintlock musket, it is much more advanced than the musket snatched from Ge Fu before dawn. The flint added to the hammer and the toughness of the spring of this musket can pull the trigger three times at most, that is, Say triple burst flintlock.

The gun looks like a traditional sniper rifle, with a length of 48 cm and a muzzle diameter of about 2.8 cm. The handle is made of black iron and covered with animal skin. Inlaid with the polkayan noble coat of arms.

With his shooting level, not to mention three shots, there is no possibility of hitting even thirty shots, let alone this kind of sniper rifle.

The case of dawn secretly shook his head, but saw Mozel looking at him with piercing eyes: "What?"

"I...I want to try my hand." Mozel said in a daze.

"Take it." Li Xiao laughed, and casually threw the refined musket to Mozel. Seeing Mozel's excited expression, he smiled again and said, "If you like it, I will give it to you."

"Really big brother?"

"Nonsense, it's useless for me to want this thing, I can't even kill a chicken with it in my hands." Li Xiao nodded.

"Come on, let's go out and try."

At dawn, Roentgen, Blatter, and Mozel walked to the excavated fermentation tank together.

The fermentation tank is five miles southeast of Chengfang Town. There is an open plain. The plain is not big, but it is most suitable for building a brewery, because there is an underground spring nearby. Before dawn, I specially studied this kind of cold and sweet wine. Spring water with a delicious taste, and found that the interior of the island is the only place with this quality of water.

This discovery is a huge fortune. The most important thing in winemaking is the quality of the water source. Not only does it need a good water source during fermentation, but it also requires higher water quality during distillation and blending.

This is one of the reasons why he planned to build the factory here.

After about half an hour, several people finally came to this location. Hundreds of workers were busy not far ahead. One of the young people saw Li Xiao coming over and said respectfully: "Boss, the fermentation tank has been dug. The warehouse is also built."

Liming nodded, first went to the built warehouse to check for a while, dozens of workers were busy, and then came to the excavated fermentation tanks, the fermentation tanks were 5 meters, 8 meters, 10 meters and 15 meters He asked people to excavate four fermentation tanks with different depths because the raw materials for winemaking will produce different flavors due to the different underground temperatures during the underground fermentation process. He needs to use four or more Among the deep varieties, experiment to find out the most suitable temperature for fermentation.

"Good job, Anubi!" Li Xiao smiled in admiration, and Anubi nodded happily.

Anubi is 22 years old this year. He is nearly two meters tall and has explosive hair. He was one of the [-]-member escort team formed during the riots before dawn. Because of his tenacious fighting will, he was promoted to the guard team by dawn team leader.

Facts have proved that this young man named Anubi did not disappoint. Lixiao handed over all the affairs here to Roentgen. Roentgen was in charge very well, and he was able to cultivate talents like Anubi.

It can be seen that Anubi is a talent worth cultivating.

It seems that it is also very wise for Roentgen to lead the 20-member armed team. Roentgen is calm and good at analysis. Naturally, there is no need to worry about major mistakes due to details.

He attached more importance to Roentgen than Blatt in his heart. He had imagined that Roentgen's position in the future team would be second only to himself in importance.

Anubi is naturally also very happy. He is a native of the southern border of the Polkaya Kingdom. Because of the death of nobles in his family, he joined the riot team without any hesitation during the Dawn riot. Finally, because of his outstanding performance in combat, he was recognized by Dawn and promoted to a guard. team captain.

Following Lixiao is not only popular and spicy, but also can quickly improve his strength. In just a dozen days after joining the guard, under the deliberate guidance of Lixiao or Roentgen, Anubi's physical skills have improved by leaps and bounds, not only him, but also the guards. This is true for twenty members.

At dawn, those young people were carefully selected. The most important thing for these young people was their personal will to fight. Physique is no better than swordsmanship. It does not require super talent as a foundation. Pressure can increase rapidly.

It is true that this group of young people has this quality.

He had thought about it, and when the factory was built and finished the first batch of brewing, he would spare time to focus on guiding the cultivation of these 20 people.
