The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 623

Facts have proved that as long as the saint is willing, he can be very reliable.

Looking at the rudimentary military port in front of him, Chu Xu had to admit that although the sage was a bit stingy about money, he was unambiguous about war preparations.

This port is called Antarctic Port by Chu Xu, with the Antarctic Mountains behind it, surrounded by continuous mountains on both sides, it is really a natural sheltered harbor with mountains and sea!

Not only that, the South Sea coast is surrounded by twists and turns, the Antarctic Port is hidden, the sea is deep enough, and the land behind it is wide enough, it is indeed a good place for warships to park, repair, supply, and shelter from the wind.With such good natural conditions, it is naturally much easier to build breakwaters and water gates.

Therefore, Chu Xu's "Fierce Dragon" fleet is anchored here, just like a bird's egg has fallen into a nest, so feel relieved!
And, lo and behold, they built barracks and officers' family houses, and lined them up neatly in the barracks behind the military port.Is there anything more popular than this? !
Different from Chu Xu here, Shi Chuying and the others are faced with all kinds of surprises!

Shi Geer raised his face and pointed at the solemn and heavy general's office, and shouted: "Didn't you mean the tidal flats?" Is there such a high tidal flat?
Who said it?It is said that the Admiralty's Office was built on a former tidal flat?What is going on with this towering Antarctic mountain in front of you and the hillside at your feet? !
Is it a legend? !

Shi Chuying also took a visual inspection. The Antarctic Mountain in front of me is at least four or five thousand feet high, and the mountains on both sides stretch for tens of miles. Well, it seems that hunting and gathering herbs can be done here, and there is no need to use it anymore. Worried about eating seafood every day.

Shi Chuying led people into the yard and walked around to look at it. However, facing the General Administration compound that didn't have much similarities with the plan, Shi Chuying understood that there should not be too many "pre-sales" or something. Looking forward to it!
One is flat land and the other is hillside. It's fine that this location is different from what was mentioned in the previous "pre-sale", but what about the agreed military camp?What about the family home?And what about the three-entry house and the ground fire dragon that were agreed upon? ? ?
The person who came to greet him was Liu Qingshan, one of the advance stewards. He was about 50 years old, and his eyes flickered occasionally.At this time, he took a step forward, bowed slightly, and replied: "Madam, only the family members of the general and the two captains live here, and the staff brought by the general." , he took half a step back slightly.

Shi Chuying couldn't help but cast a glance at him, and asked, "Where are the others?"

Liu Qingshan twitched the corners of his mouth, bowed again and replied: "...It is said that the sage changed his mind and built another barracks and yard on the side of the military port in order to surprise everyone."

"Surprise?!" Shi Chuying chewed these words slowly, it was really a surprise!It's just that it seems to be more surprised and less happy.

People disembark before luggage.

Since the luggage hadn't arrived yet, Shi Chuying took people to visit the inner house of the general's office first, to familiarize themselves with the environment.Perhaps the sage changed his mind, or it was because of military considerations. In short, there are only horizontal and vertical rows of north-south rooms, and rows of wing rooms. There are no inverted seats, and no side rooms...

What's more, the whole courtyard follows the slope of the hill, which is higher in the north and lower in the south, but the slope is not exaggerated.If it rains, you don't have to worry about water in the yard.

Thinking of this, Shi Chuying looked back at the wall of the back mountain. Well, the distance from the Antarctic Mountain is far enough, and the wall is high enough. If there is a mountain torrent or something, it will not be easily affected.However, she also has to find time to check and check before she can rest assured...

"Is there a fresh water well here?" Shi Chuying suddenly thought of a question. This place is at the foot of the mountain, so there should be no shortage of fresh water.These days on the boat, if you can't take a good bath, everyone is suffocated.

Sure enough, Guanshi Liu stretched out the corners of his mouth quite proudly, and replied: "Mrs. Hui, there is a fresh water well at the front and back, and spring water is also brought in from the mountain."

This is good, and many people are relieved, even the sticky sea breeze blowing on the face feels a bit wonderful!
"Mother, look!" While talking, Yoyo suddenly pointed to the distance and whispered.I only saw some dark, short and thin men and women standing timidly in the yard.Seeing them, a group of nobles with bright clothes, they were stunned for a moment.

Shi Chuying glanced at Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan knew it well, and hurriedly said: "The general said before that we are afraid that our people will not be able to slow down after disembarking from the boat for several days. We need to hire some local handymen to work so that we can settle down as soon as possible."

Shi Chuying nodded, this is really good.After swaying in the sea for so long, as soon as I landed, my feet felt like I had stepped on cotton. It was really unrealistic to work immediately.Chu Xu's arrangement was very considerate, and Shi Chuying also praised him!

However, facing the empty yard, a group of people could only rest their feet first, and the girls and women went to clean up first, and they had to wait for the luggage to be unloaded before doing anything else.

Fortunately, half an hour later, soldiers began to carry their luggage from the ship to the general's office.

There is no shortage of strong men in the barracks, and they are serving the generals. There are naturally a large number of people scrambling to carry their luggage to this place, and the courtyard is filled with piles in a short while.

Shi Chuying brought a lot of people. Except for the main house, she assigned five to ten extra people to each child. Even Shi Feng, Shi Dian and the staff also sent people to help, and let Brother Zhao and Brother Shi are responsible for checking the luggage items against the checklist when boarding the ship.

The men have all gone to the military port barracks, and the family can only rely on them, the women and children.

It's just that when those local handymen can't communicate with this group of people from Beijing and can't communicate at all, things are not so wonderful.

Brother Zhao put on a serious face, raised his hands behind his back, and summoned Liu Qingshan, "Is this what you call 'handyman who can speak Mandarin'?" Brother Zhao has always been a relatively calm child, only occasionally being mischievous , but in the face of this situation, he couldn't help being angry.

Liu Qingshan secretly thought, this Eldest Young Master really looks like a general, he quickly replied: "So that Eldest Young Master knows, there are not many people who understand official language in this place, our family first searched for some, but, before It was borrowed by the port barracks..."

Brother Zhao's cold star-like eyes swept across Liu Qingshan's face, even in the hot and humid weather of Nanwaihai, Liu Qingshan felt a chill rushing towards his face.
