The final result was that Elder Eucalyptus wanted everything, but she was still able to prioritize clearly. In the early stage, she mainly needed building materials and tools.
After the two finished picking things, they saw Hongshi and Wuyun still pushing a cart in the mining area.
Many soldiers were just watching the fun, and some were betting on how long the two could last.
"Do you want to go back now?" Tang Ping asked.
"Yeah!" Elder Eucalyptus nodded and said, "Otherwise, the people in the clan will be worried."
Tang Ping nodded and asked people to pack the weapons sent to them first, and then started to load the food into the car. Of course, this was paid for them in advance.
Tang Ping and the others will immediately start building miners’ dormitories next to the mining area. Otherwise, they can’t let those tribesmen walk over for two days to mine and then walk back. ?
At that time, they can live here temporarily. The mining area will give them as many mining vouchers as they dig, and then these tribes can take the vouchers to the Eucalyptus Tribe to exchange for food.
The Eucalyptus Tree tribe can take the vouchers they received and exchange them for food from Tang Ping, or for various supplies that the Eucalyptus Tree elders began to propose.
If they exchange these materials for their own use or exchange them with other tribes, Tang Ping has no control over them.
He is only responsible for the safety of the foreman, and has given the foreman enough benefits. He can just ask his foreman to lure him more workers.
Digging iron ore now is just the first step. There will be coal mines in the future, and then people can be hired to herd cattle. Australia's unique natural conditions make it suitable for raising cattle, sheep and horses here.
It can even be said that the entire Australia can become Datang's largest logistics base in the future.
And because Datang now has unique hegemony at sea, such a logistics base can be protected from other forces for many years.
This time, just drive the steam truck back from the mining area. It will load three trucks of food and several large pots for cooking rice and noodles.
"Red Stone, Dark Cloud, get ready to go back." Tang Ping looked at the results of the two of them and found that they had already loaded almost half a cart of ore. He said with a smile, "You are planning to steal all my food."
Then he asked Lao Cui to bring another bag of rice and several cans of cans.
"Supposedly, I should give you a bag and a half of rice and a can and a half, but I think you like to eat this can, so how about replacing the rice with these cans?"
Both of them nodded vigorously. They didn't expect that they could earn so much food in such a short time. This was something they never dared to imagine in the past.
Elder Eucalyptus is also very happy. It seems that as long as more people come, his tribe will soon become the richest tribe nearby.
After driving them back to the Eucalyptus Tribe, it was getting dark again, and the Eucalyptus Tribe held another bonfire party to thank Tang Ping, but this time the food was all replaced by noodles and rice cooked in a large pot of water. Tang Ping and others were dumbfounded.
Early the next morning, Tang Ping and the others returned to the camp and began to speed up the construction of the miners' dormitories.
More than twenty days later, the first batch of miners' dormitories were built, and Tangping's iron mine also welcomed its first batch of workers.
These workers were brought by Hongshi and Wuyun, and it is said that they were introduced by the Black Mountain tribe.
There are a total of eighty workers, but looking at their clothing, etc., it can be seen that they are people from many tribes, and only a few from each tribe can come.
Tang Ping also knew that these tribes must not believe that there would be such a good thing, so he sent some people to test it out.
After the people of these tribes arrived at the mining area, they looked around curiously. They had never seen such a scene before, and everything was full of wonders.
Tang Ping took them directly to the miners' dormitory and told them some rules.
These people felt it was a bit untrue when they heard that they could live in such a good place by digging rocks here. In addition to receiving corresponding vouchers after meeting the daily workload, they could also eat three free meals a day.
Two of the bald heads shouted: "What if we dig out so many rocks and you don't give us anything to eat?"
Tang Ping said with a smile: "Look at this mining area. I need all the red stones in it. If I don't give it to you and you leave, who will help me work?"
Seeing that many people still didn't believe it, Tang Ping said with a smile: "Everyone is here. Otherwise, I will take care of enough food for today. If you do it for a day, you will know if I am lying."
The bald man thought for a while, if Tang Ping cheated
At least he would have food for one day, so he would not lose much, so he nodded and agreed.
The others seemed to listen to the two bald heads, so they all agreed.
Tang Ping added: "After a while, ten people will be divided into a group. As long as the stones are transported to the car in the transfer area, they will be counted. Each car can receive three vouchers. Finally, the people in your group will go to the Eucalyptus Tree Tribe to exchange the vouchers. Just food.”
At first, he thought of settling accounts one by one, but he didn't expect that each of these tribes only had a few people, so he had to ask them to group themselves. If each person was responsible for one truck, there weren't that many trucks in the transfer area.
After saying that, they asked someone to take them to get the tools.
Then he grabbed Hongshi and asked, "How many tribal people are there? Who are those two bald heads?"
"There seem to be three more tribes than ten in total. Those two bald heads are from the Stone Spear tribe. Their tribe is the largest tribe around here, so everyone is willing to listen to them."
One of the two bald heads of the Stone Spear Tribe is called Shi Quan and the other is Shitou. Although they doubt Tang Ping, they are still unambiguous when it comes to their work.
They formed a group with people from two other familiar tribes. In one morning, ten strong men filled three trucks and received nine bronze medals.
"Can this one buy you two or three days' worth of food?" Shi Fist held the bronze medal and looked at it over and over.
"Whatever, it's here. Let's go eat first and then work for a day." Shitou said.
A group of people came to the place where Tang Ping talked about eating. A shed was set up here with wooden tables and wooden stools fixed to the ground.
After they were seated, Tang Ping led people to drag two cars over.
"Everyone takes a dinner plate. What's on this car is rice, and what's on that car is vegetables. You can eat as much as you like, but you can't waste it. If there is any waste, we will deduct your voucher."
The people of these tribes have never eaten rice, but they can still smell the aroma of rice. Just smelling it makes them feel hungry.
Then everyone filled a large plate with rice and other vegetables and ate them deliciously.
While eating, Shi Quan whispered: "Even if we don't provide additional food, it won't be a loss if we come to work when the tribe is short of food and eat what they give us."
