The sales of the fashion store were rising steadily. At first, other nobles were jealous, but after learning that the major shareholder of this store was Tang Ping, the Duke of Ping from the Tang Dynasty, they all stopped.
They dare to mess with people that even their Visigoth kings can't mess with?
Now who doesn't know that William offended Tang Ping and lost his title and territory.
Not to mention offending Tang Ping, now that they have met the residents of Waiteanhoupu Island and know that they have lived with Tang Ping for a long time and are still under Tang Ping's care, no one dares to regard the residents of those islands as Ordinary civilians.
When a noble gentleman meets someone, he must say hello politely.
Tang Ping calculated the time and found that the time for the recruitment advertisement he had posted in Datang was about to come.
I went directly to Dongyue Port, but I didn't expect that so many carriage craftsmen came at once.
Of course, judging from the current demand in Europe, the supply of these carriage craftsmen is definitely in short supply, but Archduke John's factory and dormitories need to be expanded a bit.
After sending these carriage craftsmen on the ship and returning to Europe, news came from Egbert who had gone to South Africa to mine.
The last batch of ships carrying people to South Africa arrived at Sewicks, and then sent a letter to Tang Ping, saying that the minerals Tang Ping mentioned had been discovered in South Africa.
Tang Ping didn't expect it to happen so quickly, so he simply asked Li Siwen to sail with these ships to South Africa.
Anyway, fashion stores in Europe have their own management.
It will take some time to build the carriage factory, and it will take several months for workers to come from Datang.
I might as well go to South Africa and see it, I have never been there before.
Call Egbert, a baron named Paul, who came back to transport people this time.
No, this man followed Egbert to South Africa to open up a new kingdom, and is now an earl.
"Count Paul, can you tell me about the current situation in South Africa?"
"Well!" Count Paul was respectful to Tang Ping and stood straight with his hands behind his back: "A few months ago, the craftsmen from the Tang Dynasty arrived, and then after they arrived..."
Paul hesitated before saying: "After we arrived, we started to open up some farmland and started growing vegetables."
Tang Ping suppressed a smile. This is a racial skill. It is said that when Chinese people dig soil on the moon and come back, the first thing they think about is whether they can grow vegetables.
When those craftsmen arrived in South Africa thousands of miles away, they would definitely find the local food unaccustomed to it, so they must have brought some seeds such as rapeseed from Datang and planted the vegetables first before working on them. There was nothing wrong with it.
"Then what?" Tang Ping asked.
Seeing that Tang Ping had no doubts, Paul finally imagined what the people of the Tang Dynasty said about the fact that even if Duke Ping came, he would have to cultivate the land first, and then said: "Then we will use your various smoke-emitting machines. Construction of the mine has begun.”
Paul's eyes were full of admiration and yearning when he said this.
Those machines are so amazing. One person can use the machine to do the work that can be done by several or even dozens of people.
When pulling things, one cart can easily pull away the things that seven or eight horse-drawn carriages used to pull.
At first, they thought it would be difficult to rebuild the mine and build houses when there was nothing left in that place.
But after seeing Datang's machinery, I realized how wrong they were.
They all say that God spent many days building this world. Now in their opinion, God may be the construction team hired by the Tang Dynasty to build the world.
It was so fast, a row of bungalows was built for you in just a few days. Then those Datang craftsmen were not satisfied, saying that the houses built with prefabricated panels were not suitable for living because they were cold in winter and hot in summer, so they could only live in them reluctantly.
You must know that even their ordinary knights could not live in this kind of brick house in the past.
There are also things like building bridges and paving roads, which look exactly the same every day. A road that is dozens of kilometers long to the dock was repaired by the Tang Dynasty people in a few days, and it can still run their kind of cars.
And they volunteered to build a few kilometers of road on the other side, but the road hasn't even been dug yet!
In addition, those people from the Tang Dynasty always say that what they are doing now is called infrastructure, and those people from the Tang Dynasty are too devoted to their work, as if they are obsessed with it, even to the point of being indifferent to other things in the outside world. Gradually, in South Africa, , Datang people have a new nickname: Infrastructure Maniacs.
After listening to Count Paul describe some preliminary work done by the craftsmen sent by the Tang Dynasty with an envious tone, he also laughed.
Didn't you expect that the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty at this time would already have the title of infrastructure madman?
I am also beginning to look forward to the South Africa that these Datang craftsmen are building now.
After the fleet crossed the equator, it started to get hot. After arriving in South Africa, it was summer in the southern hemisphere and it was extremely hot.
When Tang Ping arrived, he got off the boat in the bright sun and found a group of people queuing in the distance.
Paul went to arrange for the last batch of residents coming to South Africa to disembark, while Tang Ping took Lao Cui and the others over.
Grabbing a foreigner who ran over to queue, Tang Ping asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
"Magic! Magic!"
The foreigner pointed to the queue over there and said: "The weather is too hot. Many people have suffered from heat stroke while working. Those Datang infrastructure maniacs really know magic. They can make ice in this weather!"
"Then use a green magic bean to make a magic potion and add ice to it for everyone to drink. After drinking it, it will be less likely to suffer from heat stroke."
As he spoke, he shook the hat in his hand: "They also use straw to knit hats to block the sun. It's really awesome."
After saying that, I ran directly to the back and stood in line.
Tang Ping took Lao Cui and the others over to take a look, what a magic bean!
Isn’t it just iced mung bean soup?
With this thing to relieve heat, it is indeed not so easy to suffer from heat stroke.
The main reason is that the place where these people from Wessex used to live was not so hot in the summer, so it was a bit unbearable all of a sudden.
Tang Ping did not disturb the craftsmen who distributed iced mung bean soup to others. Instead, he walked around and found Egbert, who was also wearing a straw hat.
"Egbert, I really didn't recognize you like this!"
"Don!" Egbert looked at Tang Ping in surprise, then came up and hugged him: "I'm so glad to see you."
"Me too." Tang Ping said straight to the point: "But I think you want to see my money more. I heard that you have found a mine."
"Yes!" Egbert excitedly pulled Tang Ping into a nearby tent.
This seems to be his temporary residence, and the guards are tighter than other places.
He dug under his bed and pulled out a cloth bag.
"You mentioned that there is a mine that looks like broken glass and is very valuable. Let's see if it's the same."
