Chapter 820: Connecting the North and the South (Extra Chapter for 900 Monthly Tickets)

After a brief moment of confusion, Zhou Xu's heart was filled with an irrepressible ecstasy.

The Pioneer, which departed from the port of Black Moon City, appeared here after a long voyage. What does this mean?

This shows that from south to north, this large lake directly connects the New World and the Old World!

This is really important to Zhou Xu.

Now, due to the terrain and environment, their Great Zhou has a big problem, that is, transportation.

Between the New World and the Old World, the transportation of materials must cross the mountains.

In this mountainous area, even the mountain people who are familiar with the mountains need half a month to cross, let alone transport goods.

This also greatly increases the transportation cost between the two areas, and the same is true for population transfer.

In response to this situation, Zhou Xu's response method has always been to make the two areas operate as independently as possible, reducing the interaction of materials and even population.

This is obviously not conducive to the development of their Great Zhou, but Zhou Xu has no choice. The terrain is there. Not to mention in this era, mountains like this are a big trouble even in modern times.

But now, as long as it is confirmed that the big lake is connected, they can directly open a water transport route in Great Zhou!

The efficiency of resource transportation and population transfer will not only be greatly improved, but also the expenditure in this area will be greatly reduced.

A water transport route can directly connect two areas that were originally difficult to form a linkage! How can Zhou Xu not be excited?

Sitting in the Qinzheng Hall, looking at the report in front of him, Zhou Xu couldn't calm down for a long time.

Taking a deep breath, after waiting for his emotions to calm down, Zhou Xu's first thing was to order shipbuilding and continue shipbuilding!

The entire shipbuilding project was directly upgraded to the highest priority level, and domestic funding resources were tilted towards this project.

After it has been confirmed that this side can allow Green Forest City and Black Moon City to unlock the water transport route, the value of this project has been soaring like a rocket in Zhou Xu's place.

In his opinion, the transport capacity of a Pioneer is not enough.

After all, the Pioneer is mainly a ship built to open up new areas and explore them. In essence, it is not a cargo ship.

And now, what Zhou Xu needs is undoubtedly a cargo ship with stronger transport capacity!

At the same time, build a port in Green Forest City to facilitate the subsequent docking of ships.

"Pass my order and let Liu Jiefang start training pigeons that can travel between Green Forest City and Black Moon City."

In the past, they thought that the distance between the two sides was too far, and training was not only troublesome but also very difficult, but now the situation is different. They suddenly found that Black Moon City was not that far away from them.

This distance can be communicated efficiently through pigeons.

"As for the Pioneer, let them continue to explore the waterway and draw a waterway map."

Excited, but Zhou Xu's mind was still clear. At present, the most important thing is to explore all the waterway areas that can be explored and improve the map.

Equipped with crew members and survival supplies, the Pioneer itself has little transport capacity, so there is no need to rush.

The relevant orders were quickly issued directly from the Qinzheng Palace.

At the dock of Black Moon City, after successfully building the Pioneer, the members of the shipbuilding department received rewards and took a long vacation before returning to their respective posts.

After all, in order to drive out this big ship, they had not rested since the project officially started, except for eating and sleeping.

Zhou Xu never liked idle labor. The shipbuilding plan here was not to build just one ship.

This lake is so large, and there are many islands in the lake. In the future, when it develops internally, at least three or four large ships will be needed to provide them with transportation.

So the members who had taken a vacation also started the construction of the second ship slowly.

"According to the requirements of the plan, starting from this second ship, we will focus on improving transportation capacity. If you have any ideas, please share them. Let's discuss it while everyone is here."

In the office of the dock, the director leaned on the office chair at the main seat of the conference table, blew the boiling hot tea that had just been brewed in the cup, and leisurely announced the agenda of the first meeting after the official start of work.

During this period, the state of the department members was also comfortable, and it was obvious that they had not yet adjusted from the state of the long vacation.

If nothing unexpected happens, they can open for a whole morning.

Even later, some department members began to think about what to eat for dinner after get off work.

Just then, a noise came from outside the dock, which attracted their attention.

Hearing the noise, the director casually pointed to someone.

"Xiao Zhang, go out and see what's going on."

Xiao Zhang, whose name was called, responded and ran out to confirm the situation.

The location of their office inside the dock is basically facing the main gate. As soon as you leave the office, you can see the situation at the main gate at a glance.

At this moment, workers were moving boxes of goods into their dock.

Xiao Zhang was a little confused by the scene, and then he hurried over here. Just when he was about to catch someone to ask what was going on, a figure walked in from outside.

Xiao Zhang's face changed instantly after seeing the other person's appearance.

During this period, the other party apparently also saw Xiao Zhang, and then waved to him.

"I remember you, Xiao Zhang, right?"

Seeing that the other party remembered him, Xiao Zhang was immediately flattered.

"Yes, yes, I am Xiao Zhang. Why are you here, City Lord?"

At this moment, the person who walked in was Zhang Xiaoshan.

Since Black Moon City was upgraded to a city, Zhang Xiaoshan has also been promoted to city lord, and his every move has become more calm and sophisticated.

Looking at Xiao Zhang who looked nervous and stuttered a little when he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan was not surprised and instead asked with a smile.

"Where is your minister? I'm coming to find him."

"Lord City Lord, please wait a moment. I'll call the minister over right now."

While he was talking, Xiao Zhang ran away quickly and rushed into their office as fast as possible, startling everyone inside and even spilling a little of the tea in the minister's hand, making him frown. Wrinkled, slightly unhappy.

"What are you doing? I'm so frizzy and not calm at all. Is there an extraordinary creature chasing you behind me? Look at me, Minister. I can keep my composure no matter what happens."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhang panted and quickly shook his head.

"Cheng, the Lord of the City is here!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zhang felt his eyes blurred. When he came to his senses, their minister had already rushed out. As soon as he turned around, he was the only one left in the office.
