Pirates: From the Planet to the Starry Sky

Chapter 3 Ways to Make Money

The main purpose of fighting in the forest is to clean up the powerful beasts in the forest and open up an area for development.

Although farming in the mountains is more troublesome and requires reclaiming land on the pile of rocks, there is no problem in planting fruit trees.

For the development of Shanlin Island, Rich had already had an idea.

If you want to develop the forest island, you need money. The money Rich saved from childhood is just an introduction, and it is far from enough to develop an island.

Although Rich hadn't been exposed to affairs before, it didn't mean Rich was unprepared.

A long time ago, Richie began to collect various information about the forces around the Rock Mountain Kingdom and the world.

Except for an island with a naval base not far from the main island of the Rock Mountain Kingdom, there are two countries and several large and small deserted islands within a five-day journey.

Because the Rock Mountain Kingdom is too remote, and there are not many products that can be sold.Therefore, after handing in the heavenly gold every year, there is not much left.

The business of Rock Mountain Kingdom is still very weak.However, Rich has long been prepared. The first step is to mobilize the enthusiasm of the residents, and then to recruit people to develop businesses.

As for the first commercial production, Rich has already prepared it, and now clearing up the beasts in the mountains and opening up orchards is the second.

Shanlin Island, a reef beach, has now become pools like paddy fields, and under the sun, each pool is filled with sea water.

Looking around, the whole beach is like this, and the large pool can't be seen at a glance.

And between the pools, there is a road made of stone strips, separating each pool, and teams of soldiers walk on it to patrol.

Outside the pool, on the sea surface, there is a circle of dikes that can be used for patrolling, and there are only a few openings to guide the inflow of seawater.

On the shore, there are outposts and several forts, and there are soldiers stationed here, responsible for defensive tasks.

Here is the salt pond made by Richie, but it was made by Richie during his rest time.The flat slate salt pond is like waving hands to Richie, who is an Earth Fruit user.

In the process of investigating and understanding the whole world, Richie found that although the world has enough salt, it is not a supply of tons.

Supplied by the salt ponds of several great kingdoms and by salt mines on the Redlands of the World Government.

Therefore, on the first day when Rich came to Shanlin Island, he built a salt pond, and started drying salt on the second day.

At this time, the person in charge here is Richie's second uncle, Carnegie Karl.At this time, looking at the salt pond, a layer of salt has already appeared on the bottom of the pond.

As soon as a large amount of salt began to appear, Karl immediately strengthened the garrison here, and personally sat in charge.

A full brigade of troops was deployed to station here.

Standing beside the salt pond on top of the stone tower built by Rich with his abilities, and looking at the large salt pond, Karl also smiled wryly.

"My nephew is really amazing. He will make a big deal for me as soon as he arrives."

A salt pond, this sun-salting method looks very simple and only requires some labor.

But a simple process can bring huge wealth to the Rock Mountain Kingdom.The salt in Pirate World is monopolized by some big forces, and now Yanshan's salt can definitely make a lot of money.

Moreover, this is still a steady stream of income, enough to raise the taxation and wealth of the Rock Mountain Kingdom by several levels.

"Let the patrols be strengthened, work in two shifts, and not allow any irrelevant personnel to enter." After thinking about it, Karl ordered again.

According to the current situation, the salt produced can be packaged and sent to the main island the day after tomorrow.There, give it to the kingdom caravan, and then go to sell it in the cities of other kingdoms in exchange for wealth.

Richie handed over this matter to his second uncle.The wealth from buying salt, except for paying taxes, is all reasonable. Of the remaining money, [-]% is used as military expenses, allowing Karl to prepare for military expansion.

As for the rest, Rich is going to exchange all of them into materials for the development of Shanlin Island.

"bump."

In the forest behind Shanlin Town, beast roars resounded from time to time.

In front of Rich, there was a huge wild boar that was as tall as a man and fell to the ground.In the team behind, there were already two bears, three wild boars, and a tiger.

These ferocious beasts are used to dominating in the mountains and forests, and when they see humans, they rush up directly without fear at all.But this time, they met Rich and were directly killed one by one.

Rich's method is also simple. Put the rock compressed by Rich on his fist, smash the skull of the beast with one punch, and obtain a complete corpse.

The island itself is not big, and the number of carnivorous beasts is actually not many. On the first day, Ricky basically hunted and killed half of them.

When going down the mountain, every soldier is carrying prey on his body.These prey were handed over to the residents of the town for disposal.

The furs were tanned for sale, and the meat was food for Ricky and the soldiers.

"Hella." Walking on the street, Richie was thinking, and suddenly said.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Hila stepped forward and asked.

"You go to recruit people now and form a caravan. The second uncle will go back to deliver the goods the day after tomorrow. Let's take the caravan and prey to the main island to sell. The number of caravans doesn't need to be too many, just enough."

"Ok."

Hella has followed her since she was a child, not only has the strength of a major in the Navy branch, but also learned a lot of knowledge. Now following Rich and doing nothing, it is really a waste.

In the mountains and forests, there were beasts that had been cleaned up for another day, so that there were no traces of powerful beasts in the forest town.

At this time, the residents of the two hunting villages began to cut down the trees in the forest, level the land, and plant fruit trees according to Rich's order.

"Not enough manpower."

Among the 3000 people on the entire island, all the free laborers are busy for Rich and have their own jobs. However, according to Rich's plan, the speed is still too slow.

Regarding this, Richie also had to secretly sigh, thinking about how to get a batch of people.

The next day, Rich meets with a businessman recruited by Hella.This businessman was originally a grocery store owner in the town, so he had some experience.

Except for the businessman himself, there are two deputies, and Rich and Hela themselves are the simplest caravan.

With the fur hunted in the past two days, I returned to the main island with the boat.

On the fleet, there is a squadron of soldiers escorting them, while the tax collectors carry bags of sun-dried salt into the warehouse on the ship.

"Second uncle."

On the boat, Rich saw the second uncle who personally led the team.

"You kid, you made a big fight for me without making a sound." Carl said with a smile. "This time, I'll report to my elder brother in person. It's you, what are you going to do when you're not on the island?"

"Isn't it because I got a little fur from hunting in the past two days, and I'm going to sell it, and then look around." Richie also said with a smile.

"That's fine, we're going all the way."
