Chapter 940: Li Chongyi's Thoughts

"Ready!" A roar!

On the sea in front of me, a 'fountain' suddenly appeared. The sailors in charge of the lookout immediately shouted, and after searching for many days, they finally found their target.

The roaring sailors skillfully turned the rudder and removed the sails, and countless people carried steel forks in their hands and prepared their crossbow arrows, their eyes red and their eyes as sharp as swords.

Shopkeeper Xiao shouted so loudly that his throat smoked: "Don't be excited, don't be excited...... Let's talk about it when we get closer, let's talk about it when we get closer, let's settle down, don't shout, who is it to scare the whale away? ”

Li Chongyi held a giant spear in his hand and walked back and forth. After the last fight, he found that the axe in his hand was not very useful to deal with whales, so when he returned to the shore, he found the best blacksmith in Yangzhou City, and gave him a giant spear of one hundred and eight pounds, the shape of a trident, and carried it in the hands of Li Chongyi, and escaped the birth of a sea king.

With the experience of the last time, this time I encountered whales, I was not so flustered, everything went according to plan, and everyone knew what to do.

The entire ship went into battle and instantly transformed into a battle monster.

This is the second whale they have found after three days of searching at sea. This time, without fear, the whale is no longer an invincible nightmare in their eyes, on the contrary, it is a mountain of gold.

The last whale caught, in the end, each person got twenty yuan, and he used to wander on the sea for several months, and he couldn't get this amount in nine deaths. Now that everyone is together, there is almost no risk in catching whales on a 10,000-stone boat, isn't this the same as picking up money?

The bolts were finally fired.

At the same time, countless steel forks were projected like a rain of arrows.

Immediately after, all the staff grabbed whatever they could hold on to and greeted the storm.

What is this called? Hou Ye said it, and I couldn't remember it for a while. Shopkeeper Xiao muttered, suddenly patted his head, and remembered. Hou Ye said, this is called an actual combat exercise! , face the strongest opponent at sea, and when you encounter the enemy in the future, you will definitely have a handle in your hand.

It works, it does! Look at this high morale, look at this spirit of not fearing and not flinching, more than 200 people are like an arm, like a person, almost no gaps in close cooperation, calm in the face of danger, all show the potential of this sailor, let him see hope.

This is a strong soldier in a hundred battles, if Nanliang could have such sailors back then, at least he could be separated from Li Tang and ruled by the river...... That's right, Shopkeeper Xiao was a commander of the Nanliang Water Division back then, but time has passed, and the past has gone with the wind.

But he knew everything about water warfare. Li Mu didn't break it, but just let him be responsible for training sailors, and the project was also stipulated, that is, to go to sea to hunt whales. Whales are full of treasures, and no too much.

I saw that the giant whale was fluttering in the sea with a huge momentum, and at this time, the helmsman had experience, and he would try his best to adjust the rudder through a slight rudder, relying on the current wind direction and wind force, as well as the strength of the wave, and try his best to avoid the damage caused by the giant whale to the Chang'an before he died.

The helmsman had a chicken leg in his mouth that didn't have much meat anymore.

It was his prerogative because he was the helmsman. The helmsman of the Wanshi ship is not something that anyone can do, this is a scarce talent.

On the ship, only he has chicken legs to eat, which is the preferential treatment of talents.

Therefore, although the meat has been almost gnawed, this skeleton must be kept at all times, and it is taken out and licked from time to time, and the skeleton is a symbol of glory, highlighting the difference between the helmsman and the ordinary poor people.

It's not fair, isn't it? It's so unfair, but no one dares to fart, not for anything else, because this ship is in his hands, and people have the ability to do it, you can do it!

After a huge wave of churning, the whale finally stopped fluttering, and the sea gradually returned to calm.

The screaming shouts and the sound of scolding the mother finally stopped.

This time the record is an hour and a quarter of an hour! I don't know how much faster than the first time!

"Homecoming!"

The happy sailors whistled and prepared to return home.

Occasionally, someone was slammed on the side of the ship by Shopkeeper Xiao, pointing out the mistakes made in the battle just now. Shopkeeper Xiao always raised things to the level of life and death, although the sailors were a little unimpressed, but Li Mu's order was to obey the arrangement of Shopkeeper Xiao, and they also listened very carefully.

After the Wanshi ship returned to the port and arrived at the port of Yangzhou the next day, the giant whale no longer had to be taken care of by the sailors. Gu Sizhi's logistics support work is still very good, and now Yangzhou Port has a complete team responsible for dealing with whales. From peeling, cutting meat, refining oil and making wax, there are people in charge of every link, and an assembly line operation has been formed.

They recruited hundreds of people to skin the whales, which can be used to make clothes, and now in the market, many people are asking for them, on the one hand, to show their status, and on the other hand, to wear them comfortably. The residual feces in the whale's belly are also treasures, which can be used as fertilizer, as long as they are taken out, there are many people who carry the burden to fight, although it is a little smelly, but it is better not to have money, isn't it?

Grease can be refined, not only into candles, but also as soap, and soap made from whale oil is smoother to use. The heart, liver, and internal organs have a unique flavor, and there are special people who take this bite, and the price is more expensive than whale meat. As for the most substantial whale meat, it is needless to mention. Since Li Mu announced the recipe of Liu Sanscoop, whale meat has replaced the meat of large animals on the market and has become a must-have delicacy on the table in Yangzhou Port.

With the renovation project of Yangzhou Port in Suizhou and the advancement of the port construction project in Mingzhou, the number of craftsmen recruited has begun to be huge day by day, and people with a little craftsmanship have begun to stop farming, but live around the wharf and lease the fields in their hands. This is cheaper for a big family like the Gu family, and they can also have a part of their income by relying on large-scale farming. In the past, this was a good opportunity for land annexation, but under Li Mu's supervision, the contracts were signed on an annual basis, there were no loopholes to exploit, and the interests of the people could be protected.

Returning to Yangzhou Port, after a short day of rest, the routine drill resumed, the roosters crowed, the drums beat together, and the sailors with big shoulders and round waists, full of energy, each gathered on the deck with their weapons, and began to practice. The shouts of the drill on the deck are mixed with the noisy cries of the port bazaar.

In just a few months, because of Li Mu's arrival, Yangzhou Port has become different. It seems that a pool of stagnant water has been stirred up and injected with infinite vitality, everyone is full of energy and working hard for their own tomorrow, what Li Mu brought to them is something called a dream.

At this time, under the scorching sun, the sailors practiced the 'Three Talents Formation', which is the family heirloom formation of the Zhu family in Wuzhong, which has been inherited since the Three Kingdoms period, and is the essence of the final harvest after countless actual combat tests. Originally, it was not passed on by the children of the non-family, but at the request of Li Mu, it was also contributed.

Among them, the big three talents are divided into large and small, the big three talent formation is to turn the formation of the two teams into a horizontal team, the captain holds the card in the center, a hook sickle on the left and right, and the hook sickle is two spears with a card, and the short soldiers are behind...... At the same time, countless small formations, wolf fangs intertwined, forming a long snake-like horizontal plane.

The so-called hook sickle is a special blade, similar to a long scythe, with blades on both sides, which is specially designed to deal with the enemy's lower three ways, and it is impossible to prevent it. At the same time, spearmen are waiting for opportunities to attack, supplementing them, and licensed soldiers are acting as defenders.

When the Zhu family presented the formation, it was fully demonstrated. But Li Mu didn't understand it very well, but he believed that the formation that could be inherited must have its huge lethality. As long as you practice hard, you will definitely be able to achieve results. In line with the principle of employing people without suspicion and not using suspicious people, Li Mu handed over the matter of training sailors to Zhu Tai, the second son of the Zhu family lord, and asked him to set up a team with Xiao Shopkeeper to form a combat effectiveness for the Chang'an.

In the affairs of the sea, the main shopkeeper Xiao is in charge, and Zhu Tai is in charge of the drills of the big three talent formation and the junior talent formation. Although he is a lot younger than Shopkeeper Xiao, his rigor is far beyond Shopkeeper Xiao, he is meticulous in everything, like a robot, the same action, let the sailors practice a hundred times, a thousand times, he carries a whip in the queue at any time, even if the sun is scorching, sweating profusely, sweat sticking to his eyes, very uncomfortable, he doesn't care, he leads by example, he carries it to the end.

The sailors held their spears and scythes again and again, shouting until their throats smoked, and the shieldmen raised their shields again and again, lowered their shields, and raised their ...... again and again

Such an exercise was physically demanding, but the sailors did not complain in the slightest.

They have the most simple concept that whoever supports themselves should work hard for whom. The treatment they enjoyed was already excellent, and even if the training was hard, there was nothing to complain about compared to what they received.

Their skin was scorched by the scorching sun, and their bodies were as if they were in a steamer, greasy and drenched.

But in these eyes, there is a determined light!

They want to earn money, they want to feed their families, and more importantly, they want to conquer the sea of stars as Hou Ye said!

……

At this time, Li Mu would stand on a cliff and watch the rolling waves under the cliff! When looking at the sea level in the distance, there is always a bit of indescribable melancholy.

At this time, Li Mu likes to be alone and doesn't let anyone follow, and only when it's time to eat, Li Chongyi will come up to him. Li Mu sometimes changes places, but Li Chongyi can always find him accurately.

"Big brother, it's time to eat."

"Oh." Li Mu replied and did not look back.

Li Chongyi was silent for a while, and then said, "Big brother, should ......"

"I see." Li Mu waved his hand, suddenly pointed to the sea in front of him, and said, "Big man, you said that the world is so big, it is really beyond people's imagination." Let's just talk about the sea, do you know what is at the end of the sea? ”

Li Chongyi shook his head, of course he didn't know.

Li Mu sighed again and said, "You said that our brothers, can we finish this world in this life?" ”

Li Chongyi still didn't answer, maybe he didn't think about this question. He was silent, his tall body fell under the sunset, a huge figure fell, he looked up, looked at the sunset, felt the waves under his feet lapping against the cliff, thought for a while, and said: "I don't know if I can finish walking, but where the eldest brother is, I am there." ”

"Do you miss your family?"

"My family, it's dead."

Li Mu stood up, his clothes were blown up by the sea breeze, he smiled and glanced at Li Chongyi.

"Hiding your eyes from your eldest brother, aren't you? The woman you brought back, isn't she going to explain it to your eldest brother? ”

Li Chongyi seemed to have been touched by something suddenly, his eyes suddenly seemed a little silent, and he seemed to be a little confused, and said: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know how to say it-big brother, in fact, I should have killed her, but I can't do it." ”

"Tell me more."

"She's my wife."

"Yo he! It turned out to be a younger sibling! Li Mu was about to say a few words, but he heard Li Chongyi say: "But if it wasn't for her father betraying my father, my father wouldn't have died in the hands of my uncle!" ”

Li Mu's words were held back, this bloody plot, Li Chongyi's IQ really can't be handled, no wonder he returned to Chang'an, and after placing the woman, he never met again. Li Chongyi still didn't answer, maybe he didn't think about this question. He was silent, his tall body fell under the sunset, a huge figure fell, he looked up, looked at the sunset, felt the waves under his feet lapping against the cliff, thought for a while, and said: "I don't know if I can finish walking, but where the eldest brother is, I am there." ”

"My family, it's dead."
