Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

Chapter 851 Tapping rubber. (4 for support)

In the southern part of the Kingdom of Yingluo, on a tributary of the Youshui River, a large ship is advancing.

"It should be almost there." Niu San stood at the bow of the boat, his face was a little tired, and when he saw the port appearing in the previously unchanged river, he smiled.

"Slow down and get ready to dock." Niu San shouted loudly.

"Yes." Everyone on the ship moved quickly and came to their respective posts to stand by.

Because ahead is their destination, Gahu City, and ahead is the port of Gahu City.

The port is not big. After all, Jiahu City is only a small city, and there are only two or three small boats in the port now.

"Slow down, lower the sails!"

"Sail down!"

"Huh la la la..." The ship slowly approached the port, and the speed gradually stopped.

"anchor!"

"anchor!"

The boatman shouted, and with a huge splash, the iron anchor sank into the river.

"Build a boat ladder."

With a cry, the ship's ladder was lowered and firmly fixed on the port.

"It's finally here." Niu San moved his stiff body and began to disembark, followed by No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 of the third wolf warrior team, and a group of soldiers. The others stayed on the ship to guard the cargo.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

As soon as Niu San got off the boat, a group of 833 people greeted him at the port, and looked at Niu San with a smile, "This is Mr. Niu San, right? I'm Moss."

"You are Moss." Niu San frowned, the man in front of him was wearing linen clothes, he belonged to the top class goods in Xiyang City.

Moss is a businessman. I once bought linen in Xiyang City, and then sold it in the south.

Before Niu San set off from Xiyang City, An Li had written a letter to the letter courier and sent it to Moss, asking him to help talk about the rubber trees in Jiahu City first.

Of course, there are benefits for him, as long as he can negotiate to lease this kind of land with rubber trees to Xiyang City, then when he goes to Xiyang City to buy goods, Enli will give him a certain discounted price.

"It's me." Moss nodded, looking a little embarrassed. In fact, he is not very old, he looks like a young man in his twenties.

"What's the matter, this land is leased..." Niu San went straight to the point.

"It's done. I have rented out all the land where there are trees of that kind. The lease term is 30 years, and the rent is 100 gold coins a year. This is the lowest price after I have worked hard. Originally, the other party wanted a year One hundred and fifty gold coins." Moss touched his head, looking a little shy.

Niu San opened his eyes slightly, his eyes were full of surprise, he didn't expect that the unattractive young man opposite him had this ability?

This one-year lease is one hundred gold coins, is it expensive?

For the current Xiyang City, it is really nothing, and it will cost 3,000 gold coins in 30 years. As far as he knows, rubber is of great importance, and it is indispensable in the transportation reform of Xiyang City.

"Let's go, take me to see that piece of land." Niu San nodded, showing no expression on his face.

"The mountain forest is not far from the port, just a little ahead, and the Jiahu City is next to it..." Moss introduced as he walked. He had stayed in the Jiahu City for seven or eight days.

While listening to his introduction, Niu San observed him and nodded secretly. This young man is a talent, maybe he can be recommended to the young master.

Niu San suppressed his thoughts, because the mountain forest was here, as Moss said, it was really not far from the port, and it only took about ten minutes to walk.

When Niu San saw the mountain forest, he became more certain of his inner thoughts, one hundred gold coins this year is worth it!

The mountain forest is very large, and there is no end in sight. It is covered with three-leaf rubber trees. Every tree is tall and lush, and it can be seen that it has aged.

From what Moss said, no one has paid attention to this mountain forest for a long time, because no one knows what these trees can do.

A long time ago, there were people who chopped it down and used it as firewood, but those who did it later gave up.

As long as these trees are damaged, they will bleed out some juice, which sticks to clothes and utensils and is difficult to clean. After a long time, no one cares about it. This is one of the reasons why Moss can rent it so cheaply.

"Master Niu San, I will take you to find the city lord here to sign a lease certificate." Moss said with a smile on his face.

"Okay." Niu San nodded and followed Moss into the city.

Under the recommendation of Moss, he soon met the lord of Gahu City, a thin old man,

When the old man saw that the rightful owner was coming, he took out the parchment scroll with the rental voucher written on it, and directly stamped it with the official seal, for fear that Niu San would go back on his word.

The corners of Niu San's eyes twitched, and he took out the official seal exclusive to Xiyang City and stamped it on it. So far, the land outside Jiahu City has belonged to Xiyang City for the past thirty years.

"Huh... It's done, it's not difficult." Niu San breathed a sigh of relief, the first step of this task was perfectly completed.

"Go, move everything down." Niu San ordered No. 1, he didn't plan to live in the city, and started building a house directly in the forest.

"Yes." Number One left with the people.

On the same day, Niu San spent money to hire people in Jiahu City, and began to build a fence around the forest. No outsiders are allowed to enter here in the future.

When Niu San did this, although the people in Jiahu City were very curious, they didn't bother to ask, but were very happy.

After all, if they are hired, they will make money, which is much more than working for nobles.

"Be careful, this seed is poisonous and cannot be eaten." Niu San recalled what Liu Feng said, and then warned his subordinates.

"Yes." Everyone responded, and then began to divide and cooperate.

Niu San led the members of the Wolf Warrior Team into the forest to find a tree, took out the knife he carried with him, and slashed directly at the tree, cutting a gap.

After a while, a milky white liquid oozed out from the gap. Niu San rubbed it with his hands, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Don't waste it, take the clay pot and continue." Niu San ordered.

"Yes." Number One took out a small clay pot from the sackcloth bag he was carrying, and tied the pot to the tree trunk with hemp rope. Then insert a small piece of wood into the gap, and drops of milky white liquid dripped into the clay pot along the wood piece.

"From now on, without my order, no one is allowed to step into the forest." Niu San said in a deep voice, he was about to start tapping rubber, this word was taught by Master Liu Feng.

"Yes." The seven members of the Wolf Warriors team responded at the same time.

Niusan employs a lot of people, and the fence can be built in about seven or eight days. During this period, we can first teach the workers how to cut rubber, when is the best time to cut, what weather can’t cut, what trees can be cut more, and what trees need to be cut. Cut less, it takes time to remember.
