Ye An

Negotiations between Ye An and the merchants are still going on.

After he threw several thunderstorms, there was a brief silence in the tent, and everyone had different thoughts, but without exception, they had a better understanding of the owner of the delta.Some people even suspect that Ye An has something to do with the disappearing Haicheng.Otherwise, why would he be so familiar with the things in Haicheng between the lines in his words.

Sensing everyone's emotions and capturing the thoughts that flashed by quickly, Ye An raised one corner of his mouth, not intending to explain further.

Whether it is a misunderstanding or a guess, one of his purposes is to deter and pave the way for the next thing to do.Since there is no difference in the result, why bother talking.

Seriously speaking, he does have some relationship with Haicheng, and the link is Xiao Yun.

Ye An didn't speak, and quietly sipped the juice in the glass.

The sweet pulp is completely melted, and the transparent warm water is dyed a layer of pink, which looks very beautiful and tastes quite attractive.

Ye An didn't make a sound, and Zhao Weng didn't intend to speak. He turned around and opened the wooden cabinet, took out an oval box from inside, lifted the lid, and filled it with round wooden cans.

The jars are polished very smooth, the size and shape are the same, only the pattern is engraved on the lid to distinguish them.

Zhao Weng took out five wooden jars, all of which were pickled fruits, which tasted sweet and sour, and some were a little spicy, which can be used as snacks or side dishes.

"Try how it tastes."

Zhao Weng opened two jars and handed them to Ye An.

In the jar are fruits similar to red bayberry and yellow apricot. Soaked in special sugar water and marinade, the surface of the yellow apricot appears wrinkled, while the red bayberry is still plump and its color is very fresh.

In the harsh environment, only mutants like Zhao Weng and Lily of the Valley have the ability to gather together different types of fruits, and can prepare marinades for long-term preservation.

Ye An put down the water glass and took out the fruit from the jar.

The bayberry is sweet in the mouth, without any sour taste.Yellow apricot is sour beyond imagination, but after the sourness fades, the aftertaste has a little sweetness.

"Zhao Weng, good stuff!" Ye An gave Zhao Weng a thumbs up.

Zhao Weng stroked the beard on his upper lip, smiled and said that all the fruits in the box were given to Ye An.

"It's not a big deal. I taught Lily Lan how to prepare the marinade. Her skills should be better than mine." Zhao Weng said modestly.

Zhao Weng's move is to show his attitude, so that the businessmen can see clearly, so that they can easily measure the gains and losses, and don't make decisions that they regret.

As it turned out, his actions worked.

After a brief silence, the merchants spoke one after another, willing to cooperate with Ye An to build a fleet capable of going ocean.

Ye An has no shortage of ore manpower, but the more materials that can be used, the better.Businessmen have their own channels, and the materials they put forward will not disappoint.

"I know better shipbuilding materials are in the west of the wilderness. Every two dry seasons, I will lead the team to pass by there. This year is just the time, I will gather a group of people and bring back as much as possible. When the time comes, Lord Ye You can see for yourself which material is more suitable.”

There are merchants who provide ore, and naturally there are people who provide manpower.

However, Ye An said beforehand that the people who are sent to the delta must be willing and cannot use the method of arresting slaves, otherwise not only will the cooperation be abolished, but the businessmen who do such behavior will no longer be welcomed and will not be allowed to set foot on the isolated island.

"Lord Ye, don't worry, we know what to do."

Businessmen have brains, know how to maximize their profits, and also know how to avoid Ye An's taboos, so as not to cause trouble for themselves.

One of the important reasons why Ye An wants to cooperate with businessmen is to expand the influence.

He already has plans to build a city.

Along the waters of the delta, the westbound can directly enter the sea, and the eastbound can lead to Hunter City and several other cities.

When the fleet is established, it will be able to connect the rivers and go to the ocean. The delta, which was originally regarded as a desolate place, will gradually become a transportation hub, laying a foundation in the wasteland and becoming an indispensable part.

Zhao Weng knew about Ye An's shipbuilding plan, but he didn't know about his plan to build a city.Xiao Yun knew more and was very happy to be a part of it.

After Ye An settled the tone, the businessmen quickly worked out a comprehensive plan with each other.

After everyone assigned tasks, they confirmed with Ye An again, and wrote on the animal skins to clarify their respective tasks and rights, so that the entries were clear, and each item had rules to follow.

Ye Anben planned to write the pen himself, but was embarrassed to find that the merchants communicated with each other, but they used different characters.

In the end, Zhao Weng could only write three different characters, and put them side by side on the animal skin scroll one by one, and then everyone copied them separately, and each kept a copy.

"If there is a problem, it is best to bring it up immediately. If everyone agrees, we must act in accordance with this agreement in the future. If anyone violates the above terms, we must bear the corresponding consequences." Ye An's expression was solemn, and his voice was no longer gentle. It clearly makes everyone feel the pressure.

The businessmen nodded one after another and made promises on the spot that they would act in accordance with the agreement.

Ye An scanned the crowd and could clearly capture their thoughts.He could predict that in the near future, among the businessmen present, some people were likely to break the rules.But the matter has not yet happened, and everyone has vowed that he does not intend to expose it immediately.

The merchants rolled up the animal skins, put them away close to their skin, and got up one after another to say goodbye.

It was getting late, and while the rain was still light, they wanted to leave the isolated island as soon as possible, get out of the delta, and head to the next place where they could camp.

The curtain was raised and lowered, and after the last businessman left, only Ye An and Zhao Weng were left in the tent.

Zhao Weng picked up the kettle and filled the glass in front of Ye An again.

Ye An picked up the cup, and through the dense water vapor, he could clearly see the old man's insightful eyes.Knowing that the other party had already guessed his plan, he immediately smiled, raised the water glass and drank it down, and showed Zhao Weng the empty bottom of the glass.

"Lord Ye is brilliant." Zhao Weng said with a smile, without any other intentions, pure admiration and admiration.

Ye An's smile deepened, and he invited: "I plan to build a city, is Zhao Weng willing to join?"

"join in?"

"Yes."

"Lord Ye intends to follow the model of the merchant city?" That's not very clever.

"Not all." Ye An shook his head and said, "I don't know what to say now, you might as well witness it with your own eyes. If everything goes well, how about making a decision?"

Zhao Weng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I will consider it carefully."

Don't look at him leading the team with ease now, traveling unimpeded in the wasteland, after a few years, his body will gradually age, even if he is a mutant, he cannot escape life, old age, sickness and death.

Before that, there is no one who can continue to lead the team, and he must find a way out for the team.

Ye An is undoubtedly a pretty good choice.

After thinking about all this, Zhao Weng became more and more interested in Ye An's plan.

Ye An didn't hold back, nor deliberately vague, and answered all the questions raised by Zhao Weng.

When the conversation was over, Ye An walked out of the tent, looked back at the fallen curtain, and scanned the empty camp, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, stretched his waist vigorously, and raised a smile to cheer himself up.

The steps have just been taken, and there are many things to do next, and the days will become more and more busy.

But if you are busy, the snapping tortoise must be dealt with first.

Regarding the location of the calcination and the choice of guards, he already has a secret case.
