Chapter 821 When the work is in progress
"Lord City Lord, why are you here? If you have anything to do, just say it and I will come over. How can I bother you to make this trip in person?"
Only Seeing that the minister, who could keep his composure in any situation, was trying his best to catch his breath, and then he was smiling and entertaining the city lord in front of him.
Ignore the cold sweats one after another, judging from the fact that the other party speaks fluently, this minister is indeed more capable than Xiao Zhang.
Zhang Xiaoshan is also a busy man, so naturally he cannot spend too much time here.
This time, if His Majesty had not issued an order to make this shipbuilding project a key project, he would not have made this special trip.
"Minister Wang is so polite..."
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan was about to speak, but a worker from the side ran over quickly.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoshan stopped talking and looked at the other party.
The worker immediately understood and hurriedly reported it.
"Report to the Lord of the City that this batch of goods has been unloaded."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, go and do your business."
Hearing this, the man The workers also called on their fellow workers to resign immediately.
During this period, Minister Wang, who was standing on the side, subconsciously fell on the goods after hearing those words.
Before he could think more, Zhang Xiaoshan’s voice rang out first.
"Minister Wang, I have delivered all the supplies you applied for yesterday to you today."
"..."
Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's words, Minister Wang felt confused.
They, Dazhou, are now a big business, so the process of applying for funds and supplies will inevitably become more cumbersome. In addition, after passing the approval, it will take time to mobilize supplies, and it may even be possible. Need to wait in line.
Under normal circumstances, if some supplies can be transferred to them within a week, the efficiency is considered high.
This is also the main reason why they are not in any hurry these days.
The material funds have not yet been received. Although there is some remaining material funds for the previous construction of the Pioneer, there is not much left. What are they busy with?
And now, the supplies you applied for the day before were delivered to you immediately the next day, even in one step, all supplied? Something is very wrong!
"Lord City Lord, what are you doing?"
In this regard, Zhang Xiaoshan did not mince words with him and went straight to the point...
"Your Majesty has given an order to list the shipbuilding project as the top priority project."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaoshan patted Minister Wang on the shoulder. There is no need to say anything more. The minister naturally understood what this meant.
“Come on, work hard and work hard, don’t let me down.”
After seeing off Zhang Xiaoshan, Minister Wang could not feel the slightest bit of relief. Instead, he was under pressure. Doubled, walked back to the dock, looking at the members who were still standing there, not knowing what to do, he suddenly felt out of breath.
“What are you doing standing there in a daze? Work! Just standing there stupidly, will you finish the work by yourself?!”
"..."
Here in Black Moon City, from this moment on, the shipbuilding department is obviously saying goodbye to their leisurely days.
At the same time, the Pioneer, which also received the order, continued to carry out their exploration mission.
They docked briefly at the lakeshore near Green Forest City, and after replenishing their supplies, they observed the surrounding environment.
After arriving at the big lake here, to the west is their frontline camp of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and to the south are the mountains. To the north is where they have to go back. The only choice left for them now is to go East.
There was nothing to worry about. After determining the direction, the Pioneer set sail again, heading east and down the river.
With continued sailing, they soon left the big lake and came to a spacious river.
I didn’t have much idea after that, so I just drove down the river between the two mountains, ready to confirm where the end of the river was. The rapid flow of water in the river between the mountains made them move very efficiently. When they were about to successfully cross the river and reach the other side of the mountain, the soldiers standing on the watchtower made a new discovery.
“Wait a minute! There is thick smoke rising in the area outside the river!”
"Could it be the primitive tribe making fire?"
After receiving this news, the crew subconsciously made a guess.
The soldier standing on the watchtower quickly shook his head.
"Impossible, the smoke is quite large. A few fires of primitive tribes cannot achieve this effect."
They sailed down this journey, but they collected many primitive tribes. Tribes, they all know how much smoke will be produced when lighting fires in primitive tribes, and they can basically tell it at a glance.
This discovery undoubtedly does not mean that there is some unknown force on the other side of this mountain.
After arriving at this result, the Pioneer quickly furled its sails and pulled over.
“We don’t know what the situation is on the other side now, so it’s better to be cautious in our next actions.”
“The distance is not far now, so we might as well send a few soldiers. Move over on a bamboo raft and observe quietly. If something goes wrong, pull back quickly."
In a few words, the exploration team had already discussed a result and implemented it.
The rapid river current makes the light bamboo raft move very fast, but it is also a bit thrilling.
Fortunately, the remaining river channel was not long. The exploration team on the bamboo raft crossed the last section of the river without any danger and arrived at the other end of the mountain.
Without the cover of the surrounding mountains, the billowing smoke rising from the distant shore suddenly became more conspicuous.
Stabilizing their bamboo raft, they quietly rowed to the edge to stabilize it. No need to say more after that, the only observer on the bamboo raft who had the 'Eye of Insight' activated the mantra.
The moment I saw the scene on the other side clearly, I made a habitual report.
"There are many buildings connected together on the other side. It is not small in scale. It feels like a town..."
While watching, the observer described everything he saw so that the recorder on the side could analyze the information. Information is recorded.
During this process, the observer's eyes moved...
"There are people! They are humans. They are fetching water from the shore. They have burning utensils and they should be wearing linen clothes. It seems that it has developed to a certain level."
The expressions of everyone on the bamboo raft sank when this conclusion was reached.
According to the observer's description, it is obvious that such an unknown force cannot be dealt with by just one of their exploration troops.
There is a high probability that they will have to retreat first, and then report the findings here and wait for His Majesty to make a decision.
While they were thinking this, the observers whose eyes continued to scan made new discoveries.
"Wait a minute, there's a flag!"
The observer said, narrowing his eyes.
The distance was already far, and it was impossible to see things very clearly. Now that the flag was fluttering in the wind, it looked really difficult.
"The words on the flag, it seems, it seems to be Zhou?"
"..."
"Holy shit! It seems to be the flag of our great Zhou Dynasty!"< br>
“…”
