Chapter 174 Shipbuilding is a must

Chapter 174: Shipbuilding is a must

The hair bun on the plate represents an adult, put a hairpin on it and looked at the mirror. He stood up and walked two steps. He saw the hairpin pendant swaying in the mirror of the wardrobe, and then walked out of the room with satisfaction. The maid who served him shouted: "My aunt!" Yuzhu's smile even more.

After a walk in the front yard and back yard, I returned to the back yard with satisfaction amid the greetings of "Aunt Gu Niang" and the sun had already climbed up. The opponent in the opposite yard had not yet risen. Yuzhu snorted in disappointment and returned to the room with her chin. She was busy and had to do a lot of things. The master earned a lot of money. I have to pay attention to the one I should take care of. Don't let the vixen in the opposite yard compete.

Manager Gu brought four little maids in. He was not old, but he was twelve or twelve years old. He stood in a group of people in a regular manner. Lao Gu stood at the steps and smiled and said with a pity: "Aunt Gu, if you like these four maids, you will stay. If you don't like them, I'm going to change them. These maids are all selected according to your wishes, transported from Jinan, and they are all literate, and they are of good origin."

Yuzhu raised her chin, nodded calmly, walked to a row of maids and said, "Raise your head."

The four maids raised their heads and were so timid that they dared not look at them. On this tender face, it seemed that they had seen the man who was sent to the man's hands by his father. Yuzhu rubbed her eyes and sighed, "Let them all stay. How old is that, I asked my parents to buy them, it's a sin!"

Several maids are all good-looking, and all the beauties are out of their young age, but Yuzhu is not worried about this. The master and the ones who are favored by him are all capable of doing things. They may not be able to eat this. Besides, when they are young, they are only the master's appetite, so I am afraid that they don't think of them. Thinking of this, Yuzhu feels fresh. Who doesn't just take small and tender mouths? Mr. Chen just falls away, and he specializes in picking cooked ones.

"They are lucky. The master is a bodhisattva and Aunt Gu is also a kind-hearted person. The scenery this year is getting worse and worse, and the ground in Dengzhou is still good. I heard that in Jinan, you can buy a girl of seven or eight years old for only five taels of silver."

Half an hour later, Yu Xun got up and sat in the yard to admire a bed sheet painting. She was in a good mood, but she didn't have any strength on her body. Her voice was a little hoarse. Did she scream too ruthlessly last night? She blushed when she thought of it. No wonder Yingniang, the vixen, always ran into the village without any trouble. Otherwise, she reconciled with Yuzhu. She was so powerful that she was alone. I was afraid that she could not compete with Yingniang and the foxes under her hands.

When I woke up early, I didn't see the master. Yu Xun, who felt that she was almost distant, struggled to get up. She left the yard and asked someone to ask him, saying that there was a report from Qishan in the morning, asking him to see a workshop.

The road was repaired, and two horses were running fast with four-wheeled carriages. Within an hour, they arrived at the beach of Qishan District. There was a military camp here, which was finally completed half a month ago. Chen Xie looked down on the original garrison. He simply built a new camp himself, and the land and this seat were needed. Those hundred households and general flags, as long as they were planting high-yield grains according to the instructions, they could not control their lives or death.

The red brick wall is ten feet high and the project is not small. Thanks to the refugees in Liaodong, they can work hard to eat three meals a day, and they don’t need any wages. The wharf is almost formed, and there is a small wharf here, which is used for patrols of seven or eight small boats. The dock next to the wharf has been erected, and the guard Zhang Biao and his subordinates stood outside the camp gate to greet him.

Getting off the carriage and watching a group of subordinates stand attentively salute, Chen Xie nodded with satisfaction. In the important area of ​​the military camp, any carriage must be stopped. Chen Xie himself set the rules, so he naturally has to take the lead in observing them. What does it mean to drive into the military camp?

"Thank you for your hard work, Weihaiwei and Ninghaizhou have not caused trouble for you, right?" Chen Xie's question came to Zhang Biao without complaining at all. It is said that the men in these places are not so easy to deal with. They dare not cause trouble for Chen Xie, and they dare not cause trouble for Zhang Biao?

"Go back to the chief master, a commander came to Weihaiwei. After walking around, he went back and took away a lot of seeds of potatoes and sweet potatoes. In Ninghaizhou, no one saw a shadow. Instead, he went to the original ward and collected summer taxes. It turned out that there were some green-skinned gangsters coming to pound it on the ground. They were all carrying the work on the dock."

Chen Xie was very satisfied with this answer. Mr. Chen’s soldiers could not suffer any loss no matter where they went. This was what Chen Xie emphasized repeatedly.

Following the cement road, passing through the military camp, and walking forward. Liu Qing, who was following behind, pointed to the high platform on the sea and said, "Our home, that's the dock, a new ship has been built."

Chen Xie couldn't help but be excited and his pace accelerated. This new ship was made by Liu Qing dug the corner of the Dengzhou Navy, and brought dozens of craftsmen to come here. He opened a dock here. The first small lucky ship he built was said to be only 200 materials, equivalent to 60 tons. Just this, Chen Xie was already very satisfied, after all, he built it himself. Looking back at the improved version of the Galen ship drawings from modern society, it was not a dream to use Portuguese and local craftsmen to build large ships.

Without a navy, Chen Xie would never accept it. This era belongs to the sea and cannot be mixed with it. I am really sorry for myself. Don’t say it, just think about the gold and copper mines in Southeast Asia, Chen Xie would like to occupy all those places. The magnificent Ming Dynasty and the Zheng He fleet, which traverses the seven seas, actually promoted the prestige of the country, and went all the way to compensate. The biggest irony from ancient times to the present is nothing more than this.

Anyway, those natives can't bear to see their belongings and are always robbed. If Europeans rob, it's better to rob them yourself. If you rob Southeast Asia, you can rob India. That place is really rich. This is an era of robbers!

A group of craftsmen knelt all over the ground. Chen Xie is now an official, which is etiquette. He quickly went up and helped him up one by one, showing his most kind face, shook hands one by one and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" Then he handed some older craftsmen cigarettes and lit fires. They were so grateful that they burst into tears. This was the end.

The gate rose under the power of the winch. When Chen Xie saw the winch, he couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of the people. The sea water poured into the dock, and the rope pulled the wooden boat slowly towards the sea. In the end, the wooden boat became a small dot on the sea.

"This is a small boat with two hundred materials. The grass people and others have discussed it. To make the dock bigger, the next big boat with five hundred materials." The old craftsman Wang Laowu, who was responsible for the construction of the ship, had a pleat on his face, but his eyes were very energetic. Later, Chen Xie realized that the old man was only forty years old and looked sixty years old.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. This ship is well made. Each person is rewarded with one pound of pork for fifty cents and three pounds of white flour. Each person is rewarded with one pound of silver, two pounds of pork, and ten pounds of white flour." Mr. Chen made a handful of "Boys with money", which caused cheers.

More than 200 craftsmen worked hard on the dock for almost three months before they built a boat. The big workers earned three ounces a day, and the small workers earned one ounce a day, and they did their work with quality and quantity. To be honest, Chen Xie felt guilty. But these craftsmen didn't think so. Who gave the wages when they worked for the Dengzhou Navy? Two meals of sorghum a day, and ten pounds of sorghum were given after work. Mr. Chen worked here, and he ate three meals of millet and white flour every day, and every meal was either a fish or a piece of meat. He also received the wages. What else do you want to do? If you don't work hard, then you will be ate your conscience.

The Ming Dynasty sailboat was a hard sail, which was quite different from the mainstream in Europe now. Chen Xie was not dissatisfied with this. How long did it take to be talented from scratch? With the ability of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the future is promising.

Looking at everything here, Chen Xie felt that he was just a spider. He slowly weaved a web and gradually became bigger. The sense of accomplishment was very strong. In the future, this sea area would definitely belong to China.

At noon, I had lunch with a group of old men, millet porridge, corn flour and a little white flour. The steamed rice was essentially steamed buns. A fish was fresh and fried into golden brown with flour. Mr. Chen played the role of the Virgin Mary again, calling the manager in charge of the logistics to scold him, saying that the food was too bad and the physical work was heavy.

The manager dared not defend himself, so he quickly admitted his mistake. Chen Xie then said to great craftsmen such as Wang Laowu: "I went to the capital to fight a war at the beginning of the year, and the expenses were quite high. I'm sorry, everyone has made everyone suffer. I hope everyone understands and will make sure to compensate before the year."

A group of simple craftsmen kept wiping their tears, saying that Mr. Chen was good. If they hadn't called Long Live and violated the ban, they would have called him. After a successful show and winning people's hearts, Chen Xie returned to Dengzhou.

When entering the city, the car was stopped and the sergeant at the door reported carefully: "Please invite the governor."

Chen Xie, a general in Dengzhou camp, is really a bit unfaithful and can't see anyone all day long. Sun Yuanhua has no choice but to take it upon himself, basically letting himself go. Chen Xie is lucky. Sun Yuanhua is a technical bureaucrat and doesn't like to play tricks, which saves a lot of trouble. Otherwise, there will be many means for the boss to make trouble in the immediate future.

When he arrived at the Governor's yamen, he got out of the car and wanted to go in. The gatekeeper told him that the Governor was not at home and was with his concubine. The Ming Dynasty officials were officials in other places and had a very fucking rule that they were not allowed to take their wives. Zhang Yao was a case of individual cases, which was very rare. He could not be an official in Dengzhou, and he had to go to Jinan Prefecture even if he was not good.

If you can't take care of your family, you have to keep an outdoor room or play with your husband, because officials are also illegal. Therefore, the officials of the Ming Dynasty gradually turned playing with your husband into a fashion.

Chen Xie hurried over. The outer room was in an alley next to the yamen. He walked over for two minutes. The door put him into the yard and saw Sun Yuanhua worrying when he arrived at the backyard.

"Sihua is here, I haven't figured it out. I'll give you an idea." Sun Yuanhua didn't get up, and he was still thinking hard at a stack of papers. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
