Chapter 1419 Recruitment

Long Jicai was so frightened that he stood up: "If Grandpa Guo really says that, he is really ashamed of Jicai." The prosperity of the three islands today was brought to us by Grandpa Guo when he ruled the two Zhejiang. ”

"Guogong is the reborn parent of the people of Mishima. The old friend said that it was the kindness of the prince of the country, and he would never dare to accept it. ”

Zhao Xiaoyi put down the tea bowl, stretched out his hand and pressed it twice: "Sit down and sit down, Lao Long, if you do this, everyone can't chat." ”

When Long Jicai sat down, Zhao Xiaoyi stretched out his hands in front of the flat jar: "Since they are all acquaintances, there is no need to hide it...... This, the eldest son of the Duke of Shu, the courtier's invitation to the official family, Su Yi and Su Zichao. ”

After speaking, he waved his hand at Wang Yanbi: "This is the judge of the Heavenly Supervisor Chen Bachelor, the prince of Huarong County, Tong Zhilang, Chen Tong and Chen Ziming." ”

"I am Zhao Xiaoyi, who is benevolent to the official family, and has given my father the shade of King Cao, and now I am leading the Puzhou regiment to train the envoys."

Long Jicai was not afraid, only endless joy remained: "Sure enough, he is the son of the country's family, and he feels like it when he first sees him!" ”

After speaking, he began to recall: "The first time Guogong went to the island was in Xining for seven years, and he was twenty-six or seven at that time, which seems to be only a blink of an eye, and even the son is so old...... Childe is seventeen or eighteen this year, right? ”

Bian Jar has a good impression of this chattering Zhizhou, and it can be seen that the old man really likes himself and his father: "Hui is too obedient, he is thirteen this year." ”

"Yikes!" Long Jicai expressed surprise: "It's only thirteen, it's so high...... Ah yes, Guogong's ancestral home is Zhao County, and the northerners are born tall. By the way, have you eaten? Why don't I take the three sons around the island? But our island's honored guests. ”

Bian Can couldn't help but feel funny: "Don't bother, it's too guarded......" After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Xiaoyi: "Don't hide it, we still have a task to do." ”

Only then did Long Jicai remember what Haisheng had just said: "I heard that a few sons came over on a boat? I can sail without sailing, it's my big Song baby self-ship, right? ”

Bian Can nodded: "Long Gong, we stopped this time to replenish water and food to prepare for the next sea trial." It is also hoped to recruit sailors who are familiar with sailing ships and waterways. ”

The chair hurriedly added: "Of course, we will pay for the cost." ”

Long Jicai asked, "Dare to ask the three sons where are they going?" ”

"This is to test the performance of the new sailboat," said Biancan...... Therefore, our ships do not engage in freight, but only need to be fully equipped with all kinds of supplies. ”

"And we only have eleven people now, and I want to recruit twenty more, and the provisions will be prepared according to thirty-one people for half a year to nine months. Fresh water will be doubled. ”

The Kuizhou type has a load of two hundred tons, and the boiler and lathe have used up more than a dozen tons, in addition to six thunderbolts and several base ammunition, and the remaining load capacity is more than enough.

Long Jicai patted his chest and promised: "No problem, the affairs of the three sons are all the affairs of my three islands, just leave it to us." ”

"So that Childe will know that the canning industry on the island is also thriving now, mainly to provide supplies for the big ships, which are all cooked trades."

"This man's hand...... Marine! Go and inform the third lady, quietly, choose twenty good players, those with four-way backgrounds, by the way, you also need to understand words! ”

Haisheng asked, "Uncle, I'll go too, okay?" ”

Long Jicai said: "I can't run away from you!" It's best to be like you, first follow the grandfather of the country to fight the South China Sea! ”

Haisheng was excited: "Look at it! Three young masters, I'll come when I go! ”

Haisheng went, Long Jicai called the master over again, and ordered to load the levovolt first, and then said: "The three sons may not know that the first batch of sailors from the Jing Navy came from our island. ”

"Later, the Great Song Dynasty became famous in the South China Sea, and the children made great military achievements, and the official family order was changed to the Nanyang Naval Division, according to the reward of the new army, and the richness of the award, one by one they came back and became rich people, and some of them even won the official body!"

"Now the children of Mishima have gone out to join the army from generation to generation, and many of them are from our Mishima in the Great Song Dynasty. Even if they came back from the army, many of them were still sailing, serving as sailors and captains, running from Penang to Goryeo. ”

"So Mishima doesn't have much else, and when it comes to the old way of boating, that's a lot!"

Bian Jar asked: "Is the third lady I just mentioned the manager of the Sitong Firm on the island?" I heard my father say that when she was alone with several children, she was self-reliant, and the dried oysters and shrimp she made were hygienic and clean, and the oyster sauce was delicious and delicious. ”

"Now it's bigger, and it's selling well in Beijing."

Long Jicai was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "That's it, the third lady is now majestic on the island, and she takes care of Sitong's business very well." ”

"The island's large quantities of yellow fish, dried oysters, squid, hairtail, kelp, oyster sauce...... In short, seafood processing accounts for more than half of it. ”

"Last year, we were in Changguo alone, and there were as many as 50,000 stone of yellow fish in the supply country! One pound is fifty Wen, and the harvest of this alone is more than 200,000 miles! ”

If Su Oil is here, he will pout and say that this data can only be regarded as average, and in the most powerful years of later generations, the output of large yellow croaker in this area was as high as an astonishing 160,000 tons a year.

However, that kind of practice is a predatory resource exploitation, and it will soon encounter bitter consequences.

The output of 50,000 stone of dried fish, even if it is calculated as 250,000 stone when it is fresh, is only more than 10,000 tons, and it is already so proud that Long Jicai is not wanted.

However, it is not to blame the old man of the dragon for being arrogant, the yellow fish is delicious, and the price in Beijing is not cheap, and now there is even a saying that "pawn accounts buy yellow croaker", and the retail price of a pound is as high as 200 Wen.

This is just an entry item on the island, and the real big head is still sea trade.

All of this was brought to them by Su You, so Long Jicai talked about this, and he was both grateful and admired for Su You.

After chatting for a while, Long Haisheng and a woman led more than a dozen men over, and when the woman saw the flat jar, she took a few young people in their teens and twenties to bow down: "The people's woman Long Liu, meet the young master of the Su family, when Meng Guogong was kind, it was difficult to repay ten thousand deaths, so I could only bring the whole family to kowtow to the young master." ”

"This time, the young master is going to sea, no matter what, he has to take my two boys with him, and he can serve one or two on the way."

Bian Jar hurriedly helped Long Liu up: "Auntie is serious, I don't dare to be such a big gift to my aunt, if my father knows, I'm afraid he will punish me, hurry up." ”

After helping Long Liu up, Bian Can smiled again: "Auntie, I have heard of it a long time ago, and I can still receive salted duck eggs made by my aunt at home every year." ”

"My father had the best bite in the morning, saying that the seawater duck that grew up eating snail shrimp on the beach of Changguo, and its duck eggs were made into salted eggs, and the egg yolk was more fragrant than crab roe."

Long Liu suddenly smiled: "Ouch, the woman is just thinking about it!" I really can't find anything to honor the young people. It turns out that Shao Bao has become a national prince, and he really eats salted duck eggs from the people's women's house? ! ”

Bian Can was also very moved: "Of course I want to eat, it's a good thing, my brother and I often eat it." ”

Long Liu said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the method was still passed down to our island by the Duke of Guo!" When the stars come down in the sky, the taste of this food on land and water is different from that of other people's cooking! ”

Speaking of Grandpa Guo's greed, everyone smiled, and Long Liu continued: "The three young masters are going to be officials in the capital, and it is rare for them to come to our poor country. There is nothing else on the island, but the aquatic products are abundant, so the women will cook a table for the young masters! ”

The Changguo seafood banquet did make the three local buns from Bianjing City gain a lot of knowledge, and the flat jar understood why his father had to run to the island every year when the sea was opened.

I heard that the ghost claw snails in the South China Sea are even more delicious, and the flat cans can't imagine what it will taste like.

The ship supply is a special matter, and the ship of the prince of Shu must be loaded first.

Ham, sausage, pork and mutton bacon, canned fish, large jars of luncheon meat, canned fruits, jams, preserves, tea, dried lemons, flour, noodles, rice, beans, potatoes, all kinds of medicines, wine, and even live pigs, live sheep, live chickens and ducks.

At Haisheng's suggestion, a few cats were also added.

Because of the huge space and abundant fresh water, Long Haisheng also made hundreds of wicker baskets on the deck, which were filled with soil and planted with fresh vegetables!

At the suggestion of the Chang Guk sailors, ballistas, harpoons, fishing nets were also placed on the ship.

The goods were loaded for a whole day, and they did not stop at night, and they were not finished until dawn the next day.

In a word, these hanging accounts are four-way accounts, let Uncle Shi Fu pay, and then hang up the sails and slip away.
