Small farmers dominate the desert island

At night on the tower, Chen Yu made Qi Lili cry and scream until she was as tired as a soft-legged shrimp.

"You are the person in charge here, Gu Xiaole." Chen Yu asked, looking at the young man standing in front of him.

Gu Xiaole looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, with piercing eyes, she was definitely a clever little Huo'er.

"Yes, Lord God." Gu Xiaole replied neither humble nor overbearing.

Ye Chunfang took out two flares and handed them to Gu Xiaole, "I heard from Di Eryu that you once used the gunpowder in the two flares to blow up a lot of coal. Try it again and show us."

"Well, good!" Gu Xiaole took the two flares, found a piece of animal skin paper, quickly took out the gunpowder inside, and then ran to a point where he added some coal powder.

After a short meeting, a simple small detonator was manufactured and loaded with a fuse.

Chen Yu pointed to the mining area not far away, "Go over there and try, keep the workers away, don't hurt anyone, pay attention to safety."

Gu Xiaole responded and ran over to evacuate the miners, and then dug a hole to bury the detonator.

Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Yu asked Ye Chunfang suspiciously, "What's so special about adding coal to the gunpowder?"

Ye Chunfang replied casually: "The main components of coal are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus. The direction of blasting with the power of these elements in gunpowder will change subtly. Some gunpowder is linear. For blasting, some gunpowder is blasting horizontally. For example: firecrackers, the fuze of firecrackers is blasting in a straight line..."

"Stop it, I just want to understand, don't understand. Just know something." Chen Yu felt a headache when he heard this, and Gan Yuan was an ignorant and incompetent mediocrity.

With the sound of "boom", Gu Xiaole's test explosion was successful.

Chen Yu and Ye Chunfang hurried forward to check, and he really blasted out a deep pit and a lot of coal.

"You do have some talent, how about this, you will live in the Di Clan from tomorrow, and go to the courtyard every morning to learn the characteristics and blending methods of gunpowder from me. The hole you blasted is very messy, both vertically and horizontally. If After you have learned it well, you can fry whatever kind of kang you want in the future, and you can fry it as deep as you want." Ye Chunfang was very satisfied with Gu Xiaole's performance, and nodded slightly.

Chapter 419 Great Harvest!

Gu Xiaole was very moved, nodded in haste, and patted his chest to promise that he would study hard.

"I accidentally discovered a genius. It seems that God treats us well." Chen Yu smiled proudly, and patted Gu Xiaole on the shoulder with great admiration, "Young man has a future, study hard, work hard, I am optimistic You."

Afterwards, Chen Yu selected some miners and asked them to follow Di Eryu the next time he came by boat.These miners will be sent to mine copper mines.

After returning home, Ye Chunfang immediately took action, and asked the two sisters of the Luo family to help, and drew a lot of pictures, all of which were some pictures of the explosive power of gunpowder.

Gu Xiaole is illiterate, Ye Chunfang has an ingenious plan to teach him with pictures, which is intuitive and easy to understand.Of course, some things are marked with words, and I believe he can learn to master some simple words.

A few more days passed in a blink of an eye, and Di Eryu set off to the island with a large amount of supplies and dozens of miners.Chen Yu didn't give them the materials he brought over on purpose, but he bought them from the three clans himself, and sold them to the miners when he brought them over.

Since the copper mine resources are only available to Chen Yu and others for the time being, Chen Yu decided to pay those miners wages.

Chen Yu and others will not just sit and eat. Their salt and various seasonings can be sold at very good prices, and sometimes there are shortages of rare goods that exceed supply.

In addition, their schools also have income.

Chen Yu and the others have never lacked financial resources, and they are also the richest people.He also said with a smile: "In a while, taxes should be collected, collected from the people, and used for the people."

One of his jokes was recognized by all the beauties, and Yan Jie and others have already started to write the tax law.They all want to develop the Yu clan into a country and grow gradually.

Only when the country is strong can it better protect the people.There must be many other survivors on this island, and many other primitive tribes.

A battle between primitive tribes could break out at any time, if it broke out in an area they hadn't set foot in yet.

The battle between countries is also a matter of time.They are farming and developing here, and there is reason to believe that other survivors are doing the same.

Sure enough, Ye Chunfang did not misunderstand the person. Not only did Gu Xiaole's performance not disappoint her, but she was greatly surprised and pleasantly surprised.His learning ability is very strong, and his memory is also very good. He can understand and master some advanced things only after she has said them once.

In the early morning of this day, Ye Chunfang said to Gu Xiaole: "After studying for so many days, I will give you a test. But I searched for materials, prepared gunpowder, and then blasted out a pit with a diameter of half a meter and a depth of five meters. Here it is for you." In three days, come to me when you are done."

Gu Xiaole took the order and left, Chen Yu joked with Ye Chunfang, "Do you think that kid can finish it?"

Ye Chunfang was not sure: "It should be possible. If he finishes it, he can be sent to the island to blast and mine. If he can't finish it, he needs to study for a while. Some things are not only about talent, but also about luck and hard work. Study. He is much better than you, unlike you who are ignorant."

Chen Yu laughed and said: "I know a lot of things, I'm a versatile brother. Go out for a walk and find a place to have fun. I haven't done that together for a few days."

"Gunqiu, I'm very busy and I don't have time to accompany you. You can find a sister." Ye Chunfang gave Chen Yu an angry look, then got into the laboratory and locked the door behind her.

Ye Chunfang's laboratory was recently remodeled with a spare room, and it was full of bottles and jars, various ores and plant specimens in a mess.

Her laboratory is like a military important place, without her permission, no one is allowed to enter, including Chen Yu.Occasionally, a small fish would go in to help clean up, and that was with permission.

Ye Chunfang is indeed very busy. If she wants to develop the Yu Clan quickly, she needs to design a lot of things.

The rice and wheat harvests will be bumper again, and the three clans will plant these two crops on a large scale by then. Irrigation of the terraced fields in the mountains is a long-standing problem that needs to be solved immediately.This meant that Ye Chunfang wanted to design a waterwheel, which would save manpower for pumping water, and it would be much faster.

It is obviously unrealistic to manufacture water pumps under their current conditions, but it will not be long before copper can generate electricity, and it will be a matter of time before electric water pumps are manufactured.

The cotton harvest was bumper, and the cloth coming out of the textile factory was of a single color. Ye Chunfang also wanted to mix some dyes so that people could wear colorful and beautiful clothes.

Manufacturing copper wires not only requires equipment, but also needs to solve the insulation problem of bare copper wires.

Wait, there are too many things Ye Chunfang wants to design and research, so much that she has filled her work schedule recently, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.

Seeing Chen Yu staring at the door of the laboratory in a daze, Sister Bai stepped forward and said worriedly: "If this continues, I'm worried that her body will not be able to bear it."

"Yeah, that's why I proposed to take her out for a walk just now, combining work and rest. But she ruthlessly rejected her, what a workaholic." Chen Yu shook his head helplessly and smiled wryly.

Not only were they worried about Ye Chunfang's health, but the other sisters were also worried about her hard work.Lin Weiwei often makes some medicinal meals to nourish her body.

"Fortunately, she insists on going to the beach with us for morning exercises every morning. It's more or less a combination of work and rest. Hey!" Sister Bai shook her head and left with a sigh.She, Xu Qian and other sisters persuaded Ye Chunfang more than once that there was no need to work so hard, but she just refused to listen.

As Chen Yu said, Ye Chunfang is a workaholic.

Having nothing to do at home, Chen Yu and Yu Yutong went hunting in the mountains and forests together. With their abilities, as long as the prey was willing to appear in front of their eyes, they would never be able to escape.

Yu Yutong suggested: "There are fewer live animals in the house, we have to find a way to catch more."

Chen Yu nodded slightly in sympathy and said, "Yes, we are engaged in poultry farming. It would be great if we could meet Feilongniao again."

Yu Yutong smiled and said, "It's not so easy to meet flying dragon birds. But we can raise some pigeons, and now we can train and raise some carrier pigeons."

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "It's easy to catch pigeons alive, but it's even more difficult to train pigeons. We don't know how to do it either."

"Stupid, you forgot one person, Lan Lan. She has lived with the barbarians for so long, and she has learned some animal training skills. Although wild animals are not the same as pigeons, they can definitely learn from each other. She and I After chatting with her, she said it shouldn’t be too big, and it will take time to explore.” Yu Yutong said with longing.

Chapter 420 Workaholic!

"That's right, what the ancients could do, why can't we do it, go catch pigeons alive." Chen Yu is a vigorous and resolute person, he does what he says, and immediately pulls Yu Yutong through the mountains and forests.

They have been hunting for months in the nearby mountains and forests, and they already know which game will appear and where.

Yu Yutong scolded with a smile: "Why are you so anxious, there is no cage for pigeons, how can you raise them if you catch them?"

Chen Yuxin said yes, he still needs to build pigeon coops, but he insisted: "I didn't say to catch them and raise them now. Your husband wants to eat roasted pigeons tonight, can't he?"
