Blood from Daming

Chapter 276
Everyone laughed while watching Uncle Wu chasing and beating Wu Yang, and no one stepped forward to dissuade him. This posture should usually happen frequently. When Wu Yang was hiding behind Yan Sanniang and Master Jiang, Master Jiang watched Uncle Wu step forward. Come and say: "Master Wu, this is the first time Master Yan is meeting everyone, it's a bit out of order for you to do so."

Hearing Mr. Jiang's words, Uncle Wu remembered that today was the new owner's first meeting, and he was messed up by himself, so he stood in the air with his shoes in his hands and didn't put them down for a long time.

Mr. Jiang said with a straight face: "Master Wu, the sailing boats of the Westerners are indeed very fast. If it hadn't been for the strong winds in the black ditch and the darkness when they were caught up by the Western sailing boats when they went out to sea early last year, I am afraid that these two big ships would have died sooner or later." It's gone."

When Uncle Wu heard Mr. Jiang mention that escape at sea, it was like a deflated rubber ball that could no longer inflate. Only then did Yan Sanniang know that Mr. Jiang's ship was chased by a Western sailing ship, and speeded up the ship in order to reduce the weight. He fled for his life and threw away most of the cargo on the two ships. The last two large ships came back, and were killed and injured dozens of people by Western artillery. Powerless and in a situation of waiting to die slowly, the sea-going ships on Changtu Island never made long voyages again.

Yan Sanniang said gently: "Uncle Wu, sit down, everyone is discussing something, maybe we can come up with a way to deal with the foreign devils."

Seeing Yan Sanniang's words, Uncle Wu took advantage of the opportunity to go downhill and return to his seat, then lowered his head to put shoes on his feet.

Yan Sanniang said: "Western sailing ships are fast, do you have any good ideas?"

The bosses sitting there chattered and discussed, even if no one came out to speak, it is no wonder that these people have never seen Western Sailing Boats have any ideas to come up with. Wu Yang lost face in front of everyone, so he hung his head and kept silent. After a while, it was Uncle Wu's second son, Wu Dahai, who spoke.

Wu Dahai said: "Among the people sitting here, Yoko and I have seen Western sailing ships. The two of us have thought about it for a long time, but we really can't think of any good way. If Changtu Island still wants to eat a bowl of rice at sea, we have to fight poison with poison." , we changed the Daming ship from a single sail to a multi-sail ship, and the ship is lighter than a Western sailing ship, so that the ship can go fast. If you want to leave as soon as you want, then who are you afraid of?"

Wu Yang said: "It would be great if we could have a three-masted sailing ship for us to ponder over."

Yan Sanniang said: "We can think of ways to do this. Let's try to get a three-masted sailing ship to imitate it. Uncle Wu, you old man, let's build our own warship first."

Uncle Wu said suspiciously: "Young Madam, do you still insist on building this warship that can't beat others?"

Yan Sanniang said: "Uncle Wu, since it is a Western sailing ship, it came from a very far away place. If you think about it, there shouldn't be many of them. Those Westerners want to grab merchant ships, and what we go to sea are also military ships. This kind of head-to-head Westerners may not be able to do such things, and if we have many more ships, it will be difficult to determine the outcome.”

Hearing this, Uncle Wu's spirit improved a lot and he said: "Yes, it's what Young Madam said, we fight more and fight less, and more boats will pile up these gangsters to death."

Yan Sanniang said: "Uncle Wu builds the boats first. The [-]-material seagoing ships, warships, and even sailboats you always need are left to the younger generation to figure out a solution. In the future, we will also build Ming Dynasty sailboats on Changtu Island."

Then Yan Sanniang announced that Lou San was the director of Changtu Island, Wu Bo was in charge of the Changtu Island Shipyard, and Wu Bo was in charge of overall shipbuilding. Wu Dahai and Wu Yang were still the captains of the big ship, and the rest of the people still took their positions. , Yan Sanniang ordered Lou San to organize the logistics leaders present to build a batch of houses, and new personnel will arrive on Changtu Island soon.

Because Yan Sanniang proposed the overall planning and unified construction of Changtu Island, the participants raised several questions. First, Yan Sanniang proposed that the first phase of construction should be [-] small courtyards. Xue’s logistics did not have so many people to repair it. Most of the newly attached residences of Erxue’s family are dilapidated and need to be improved. The third island does not have enough main wood and accessories for building houses, as well as corresponding construction tools and so on.

Yan Sanniang was silent for a while and said: "The housing is still based on the standard of building [-] small courtyards in each phase, [-] for the new people on the island, and [-] for the people on the island to move into new homes. Those who have contributed a lot and whose houses are particularly dilapidated will be relocated first, but everyone can rest assured that all of them will have new houses, and the houses will be repaired better as they go to the back.”

All the people around the meeting laughed. At first, some people were considering whether to squeeze into a small courtyard first, but after hearing Yan Sanniang say that the future will get better and better, most of the thought of taking advantage of it disappeared. , I also understand that Yan Sanniang hopes that the leaders like herself have a higher style.

Yan Sanniang went on to say: "This time, the official brought 100 million catties of rice, which is enough for the entire island to feed for a year and there is still a surplus, but those islanders who are not Xue's family need to use their labor in exchange for food and silver." , I believe that many people will come to work on the construction site of our Xue family, so don’t worry about the labor force. What you need to worry about is that these people don’t have the skills to repair the house well. You must strictly control the logistics, and you must pay attention to quality rather than speed. , As for the main wood, accessories and construction tools for building the house, the fleet brought a lot this time, and when the ship is unloaded, we will make a list, and the fleet will send it to the island next time."

The leaders at the meeting were very excited when they heard how good the boss was. In the end, Yan Sanniang briefly mentioned that in the future, he would open up wasteland and farm on Changtu Island and buy dried seafood from the islanders and sell them on land to help the islanders improve their lives. , The Xue family has sufficient goods on the island, and the islanders have purchasing power. At the same time, it also reduces the number of fishermen on these islands to go to Daishan Island to sell fish and buy goods, so as not to arouse the court and interested people's ideas prematurely.

It was almost noon when the first meeting of Changtu Island hosted by Yan Sanniang ended. Yan Sanniang gave each of the new recruits a box of expensive gifts, each worth more than a thousand gold. It's a meeting gift for the newcomers, these dozen or so people all left after receiving the gifts, and these people went to do what they should do.

Mr. Jiang was the only outsider in Yan Sanniang's small courtyard. Mr. Jiang was about to speak to Yan Sanniang when the subordinates sent by General Banner Liu Ben reported to Yan Sanniang: "Master Yan, Mr. Liu Zongqi has already A bucket of rice was distributed to nearly a thousand islanders. Liu Zongqi asked those who were willing to do things for the Xue family to sign and pledge according to the adults. Only more than 100 people just took a bucket of rice and a piece of cloth and left. Now Dachang Tu There are not many people from the island to pick up food and cloth, but only the fishermen from Xiaochangtu Island, Liu Zongqi asked if the adults still recruit people."

Yan Sanniang said: "Recruit, why not? Go back and tell Zongqi Liu, as long as you are willing to work with the Xue family, regardless of gender, age or age, all are welcome. Do you understand?"

The messenger said that Yan Sanniang's message flew away, and Yan Sanniang said to Master Jiang: "Master Jiang, it's already Xiangwu, why don't you eat some food here."

Mr. Jiang said: "No need, I have a place to eat. I just want to know whether Mr. Yan is waiting for the opportunity, or if he is ready to go all out."

Yan Sanniang paused and said, "Master Jiang, why do you insist on knowing these things that you shouldn't know?"

Master Jiang: "Master Yan is really good at tricks. In less than a day, he subdued the subordinates who had been under him for nearly 20 years, and his handwriting was so big that even today's imperial court is hard to look forward to. Your Excellency's back. I am very interested in the future of adults."

Yan Sanniang smiled: "Master Jiang, you are an official at best, and you are a traitor at worst. My Xue family is a family of loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and the pillars of the country. You just know that nothing can do anything to my family."

Master Jiang: "Master Yan misunderstood, I just want to know whether the Xue family is really a master that can be entrusted to."

Yan Sanniang: "How can I trust you?"

Mr. Jiang: "It depends on Mr. Yan's eyesight."

Yan Sanniang said after a while: "After thinking about it, I decided to take a gamble. I hope Mr. Jiang can keep this secret, otherwise the Xue family's revenge will be very tragic."

Mr. Jiang: "Xue Yun's reputation as the "God Slayer" is well known in the world, but he never spares any enemies, and the lower officials know the priorities. "

Yan Sanniang said: "The results of all families of military generals are very miserable. My family's husband intends to pacify and build captives for the millions of people in Ming Dynasty. However, the court officials vowed to be enemies of our Xue family. The minister stayed in peace and prepared for danger. He came to the south to open up a sea retreat. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty reused the Xue family, and the Xue family was loyal and good for generations, and he was supposed to be the leader of the Ming Dynasty. If he was killed by a traitor, although the prince is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, he will not be a stormy Yue Fei. He is willing to lead the Xue family's subordinates far away from Nanyang , without losing the dignity of a different king.”

Mr. Jiang: "If Ming loses his deer, how will your lord and General Xue treat him?"

Yan Sanniang met a guy who broke the casserole and asked the bottom line, so she decided to slash at Master Jiang Yueba'er: "I and the general will hunt in the Central Plains with the heroes of the world."

As soon as Yan Sanniang finished killing Master Jiang, she knelt down and kowtowed three times to Yan Sanniang. Master Jiang said: "My minister, Jiang Yang, came late, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
