Chapter 152 A Ship of Fortune

The day before, I sent everyone to go out by boat first, and called seventy or eighty people from the Guzhu tribe to intercept timber in the big river near their village.

Piles were simply driven in the river section, and the timber was intercepted and carried ashore.

In order to prevent the timber from slipping through the net and going down the river if the interception is not in place, another interception was made in the lower section of the river, and people were also sent to guard it.

Everything is ready, only the wood is left.

One by one, or two people hugging each other, or one person hugging each other, or smaller timbers were slowly put into the water one by one, half-floating and half-submerged slowly drifting down the current, everyone was very excited.

"It's okay, it's okay, move it!"

"Hey, this idea is really good!"

"Yes, yes, it will save you trouble."

After all the logs were put into the water, Zhao Liya and the others slowly followed by boat.

At the beginning, there was no problem in this section of the river, because the speed of putting down the wood was relatively slow. Five or six pieces of wood were put down one by one, counted as one batch, and another batch would be released after this batch drifted at least 20 meters away. , and so on.

In this way, it will appear orderly, and all the wood will not be crowded into a pile, you tripping me, I tripping you, in a mess, no one can go.

However, during the whole process of placing logs, you will definitely stumble. For example, in some river bends, many logs will slow down due to the turn. stuck with each other.

At this kind of river section, seven or eight people must be left standing in the water to deal with it specially, pulling out and pushing out the jammed wood one by one.

Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng traveled the entire river section by boat, leaving people to handle it manually in five places.

The two finally arrived near the Guzhu tribe, went ashore, and joined the Guzhu tribe who intercepted the wood.

The wet logs, large and small, were carried to the bank and piled up on the river bank in an orderly manner. All of them were money.

Zhao Liya smiled and said, "We've finally reached this point, it's not easy!"

Zhou Hansheng also nodded with a smile, "This batch is quite a lot. Another batch can be shipped back. Let's go back then. It's time for Zhong Jing to go back. Let Zhong Ming, Zhao Nan and the others take care of it. Can."

Zhao Liya nodded. These two are the right-hand men of Zhong Jing and Zhou Hansheng. They can do it. Things have been straightened out, and they can handle the rest.

They've been out for so long, it's time to go back.

Spring plowing will begin soon.

This trip was considered smooth, and it has not been a month yet!Much better than they expected.

Zhao Liya was thinking in her heart, when Zhong Jing came next time, she would come again to bring Li Ying and the others
It took two days to get all the wood out.

Zhao Nan also followed, organizing manpower, hiring ox carts, and donkey carts to transport the timber to the port of Wanning Town for shipment.

Although it is only thirty or forty miles away, timber is a heavy thing, and it is not an easy task to get it to the port for loading. It must start early so as not to delay the time.

Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng lamented their good luck again: Fortunately, the Guzhu tribe they met were all good people!Otherwise, with the dozens of people they brought, how could they be busy?

Don't spend a year in the deep mountains and old forests.

Unlike now, there are as many people as you want.

salary?That's not a problem at all!

After arranging the transportation of timber, Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng returned to the mountains.

Zhong Jing still arranged for everyone to cut wood.

This large piece of huanghuali wood is at least thousands of acres, so don't worry about cutting it all down. I'm afraid they won't be able to cut it all down in a year.

Besides, there is not only one place of huanghuali wood on the island, there are many of them.Even in this Yanluo Mountain, there are still other mountains, forests and valleys, but they haven't found them.

They cut down only the mature trees, and leave the small ones untouched.

Zhao Liya probably walked around, and tied a red rope to some tall, straight, beautiful trees, telling everyone not to cut them down, but to keep them.

It is not easy for big trees to grow up to now, so some of them must be left behind.

Anyway, they would never cut it down. As for which generation of these big trees can be kept for future generations, that is not something they can guarantee.

I hope it will last forever, as long as possible.

Ten days later, the big ship at the port of Wanning Town was fully loaded with timber and was ready to sail back.

Zhao Liya, Hu Ling, the reluctant Yu Xiaofang, Zhou Hansheng, Zhong Jing and thirty soldiers left with the boat.

Lizhu and the others were reluctant to part.

Especially Li Ying, holding Zhao Liya's hand tightly, her eyes were red when she opened her mouth: "Sister Xiaoya must come again, I still want to learn how to cook from you!"

Zhao Liya was reluctant to give up and wanted to laugh. When will her poor cooking skills be able to be a teacher? It's really gratifying!

"Don't worry, I will definitely come again, and I will bring you good things when the time comes, just wait for me!"

"En!" Li Ying nodded vigorously, and then felt a little better in her heart, and smiled through her tears: "I must be waiting for you, sister Xiaoya must come."

"of course!"

On the morning of sailing, Lizhu and Liying took dozens of tribesmen to see them off at the port, waved goodbye, and reassured them that they would continue to do well in logging.

The big ship left the port and drifted on the sea for a day and a night. It will arrive at Guangzhan Port at noon tomorrow.

When the time comes, Zhong Jing can just arrange for the soldiers in the barracks to unload and transport the cargo.

Distribution is of course Zhou Hansheng's business. He has connections in Jiangnan, and the left side will help him with everything.

Before leaving to board the boat, Zhou Hansheng specially sent someone to buy four baskets of seafood from the fishermen who had just arrived at the port, and smiled at Zhao Liya: "This time I was in a hurry, and I didn't eat seafood well. Taste slowly, let's come again when we have a chance, let's go together, um, catch the sea, okay?"

Zhao Liya was taken aback, although she was in Hainan Island this trip, but she was busy with business, Zhao Liya didn't eat any seafood that she was thinking about, let alone catch the sea that she was thinking about, not even once.

She said it with a slightly regretful smile, but Brother Zhou actually remembered it.

These large baskets of seafood include sea crabs, sea prawns, hairtail, abalone, scallops, oysters, scallops, squid, and other unnamed sea fish of all sizes. You can enjoy it slowly on board.

In this way, the fresh seafood that has just been caught ashore does not need too much seasoning. It can be boiled or steamed with a little salt and Jiang Shi.

"Yeah, brother Zhou said yes, brother Zhou has a heart!"

Anyway, this trip was not a loss, Zhao Liya was sweet and happy in her heart.

Brother Zhou is too careful!
Zhou Hansheng smiled, his eyes were soft where she didn't pay attention.
