The honest man of kindness kneels and begs for support. Brothers who are familiar with the ship know that there should be no mention of the renewal of the ship.

Now the new book period can't be too much, and when it hits the shelves, the ship will give everyone a big surprise.

Kneel and beg for all kinds of support ....

~~~~~~

In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed quickly, and the time has come to June 12 of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

With Xu Changqing's hands-on efforts, the framework on the island has gradually stabilized.

In the past few days, Xu Changqing not only asked people to ride a war horse to Ningyuan City to purchase a lot of firewood, rice, oil and salt, but also bought a lot of various medicines, and also dragged Li Changyou's relationship and invited two down-and-out Langzhong.

And with the hard work of Zhang Mo and 'Miss Xu', two literate members of Xu Changqing's family, more than 2,000 people on the island have all been registered.

This time, Xu Changqing also understands and controls the structure under his command at this time more thoroughly.

At this time, the population of the island had reached 2,231!

Among them, there are 567 adult strong men, 821 women in the prime of life, and more than 300 or nearly 400 girls who are about to become adults.

In other words, more than seventy percent of the population under Xu Changqing's command at this time were laborers or quasi-laborers!

What made Xu Changqing most pleased was that the group of young women he had rescued from the Tartars before, even if they did not have Xu Changqing's guidance to speak, they were extremely conscious of taking on many affairs, not only helping to clean all kinds of fish on the island, but also helping with cooking.

Moreover, he helped Xu Changqing to publicize almost anytime and anywhere, publicized Xu Changqing's benevolence and bravery, and publicized Xu Changqing's liver and gallbladder Qingzhao, which made Xu Changqing's already lofty prestige on the island almost have a tendency to be deified.

Xu Changqing thought about it carefully for a long time and did not stop it.

If it is placed in the future life, this is definitely unhealthy and has ulterior motives, but at this time, for Xu Changqing, this is an excellent means.

It must be known that these ordinary people under Xu Changqing's command basically have no culture, even if you tell them the truth, they don't understand, but it is not as good as the reincarnation of this Bodhisattva and Buddha, which makes them feel more secure.

Soon, Xu Changqing also began to get used to his identity with divine light, and he became more and more comfortable.

Thinking about it the other way, this is really a retribution, and what cause is sown will bear fruit!

At that time, I was just an unintentional move, I felt that these women were pitiful, and I couldn't bear to let them fend for themselves, and in this short period of time, I reaped this huge reward!

It also made Xu Changqing understand a truth more, no matter when, it is never wrong to be kind to the people!

…

In the morning, he personally stared at Wang Anshan, Zhang Long, and Zhang Hu, and they caught seventeen or eighteen net fish one after another from several fishing spots, which was enough for today's consumption, and Xu Changqing relaxed slightly.

Beckoning people to put these lifelines in their hands. The fresh fish was packed up, and Wang Anshan, Zhang Long, and Zhang Hu were allowed to rest, and they sent someone to summon Li Changyou, who had just arrived yesterday morning, and Xu Changqing came to the dock to inspect it in an orderly manner.

At this time, the simple pier had been expanded several times, stretching for hundreds of meters on the left and right, occupying almost a quarter of the circumference of the island.

In the past few days, a large number of young people have been resting under the simple grass huts here.

Although Xu Changqing did not explicitly prohibit these young men and women of Liao people from camping separately at this time, the camps of the female dependents and children were all connected, even if these young men wanted their wives and children, they could only say a few words during the day, and it was very difficult to be intimate.

But even so, the current environment is undoubtedly thousands and hundreds of times stronger than the environment before them, and there is no need to worry about the wives and children parents starving to death.

Compared to those of personal desires. Hopefully, it's a trivial matter.

"Master, little old man Li Changyou, knock to see a thousand households!"

While thinking about it, Li Changyou's smooth hoarse voice resounded in his ears.

Xu Changqing looked back, Li Changyou was wearing this wide green robe, his old face was obviously a lot rounder than before, and even glowed with a faint oil, looking at himself excitedly and flatteringly.

Obviously, with its own support, this old thing has been living a very moisturized life lately.

However, Xu Changqing is also happy to be like this, as the so-called 'daughter buys horse bones', this kind of small means Xu Changqing has already matured and cannot be cooked.

smiled and scolded: "Lao Li, you old boy has grown a lot, you look like a dog." ”

"Hey, hey."

"Master, isn't this all a blessing that dragged you down. If it weren't for your care, I'm afraid I'd have starved to death a long time ago. Master, you are really the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, specially to save a hard-working person like Xiao Lao'er......"

Li Changyou was even a series of dazzling sycophants, but Xu Changqing blushed slightly when he heard it.

This old boy is really a wonderful person.

When he saw himself before, he always called himself 'adult', for fear of losing his reputation, but now, knowing that he has been promoted to deputy Qianhu, he changed his name to 'master' again, highlighting a closeness.

Although it is just a simple name, don't underestimate this, many people may not be able to touch the profundity in their lives.

In the Ming Army, only the official positions of more than 100 households can be called adults, and others, such as small flags and general flags, can only be called 'heads', even if they are deputy hundred households.

It can also be seen from this that Li Changyou was so depressed before, not because he was incapable, but because he didn't find a suitable stage.

At this time, on his own side, this guy has a place to play.

"Okay, Lao Li, don't pat the master's ass. I'm still young. How about it, do you dare to accompany me to the sea today? ”

Xu Changqing smiled and kicked Li Changyou's ass.

Li Chang was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Xu Changqing meant, and flattered the old face and opened his mouth again: "Wonderful, wonderful." Master, you are really a person who does great things! This vision, this decision, I can't reach the little old man! It's just crossing the sea, so why don't you dare? Master, you are the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, and the Dragon King will give you face. ”

He's not exactly sycophant, he's mostly sincere.

To tell the truth, as an old soldier in Liaodi, he has been mixed in the army for 30 years, even if he has not been mixed with an official and a half-position, but ~, people of his age, how many people can survive in this kind of almost bloodbathed waves?

This is actually a testament to his ability!

Xu Changqing nodded, and his face became solemn: "Lao Li, how much do you know about that big island, and what do you say in detail?" I've been watching the waves for the past few days, and it's not a big problem at noon, the wind and waves are very stable, and our bamboo raft will definitely be able to pass. ”

Li Changyou saw that Xu Changqing was talking about the topic, and the whole person was also clever, so he didn't dare to be slippery, so he hurriedly said: "Master, although I haven't been to Shark Island, I have been in contact with the salters over there in my early years, and the environment should not be bad." Moreover, there should still be a lot of preservation of the facilities of the salt works of that year. When I was a child, when Emperor Xian was prosperous, not to mention these small islands in the sea, even in southern and eastern Liaoning, there were salt farms everywhere, and they were all the people under our Changlu salt farm......"

Ginger, after all, is still old and spicy.

Li Chang may not have much knowledge, but when it comes to the ins and outs, he is familiar with them and tells them eloquently.

Xu Changqing also nodded unhurriedly.

With Li Chang's supplementation of these materials, he is also more confident in his future planning.

…

After noon, about eleven o'clock, Xu Changqing ordered more than a dozen bamboo rafts that had been overhauled and reinforced, and took Zhao Zengjin, Ergou, Zhang Long, Zhang Hu, Zhao Qiliang, Wang Hongyang and other more than 100 young people, slowly went to sea, and went straight to the 'Shark Island' in the northeast.

In the past few days, Zhang Long, Zhang Hu and other Liao people have gradually adapted to the control of the bamboo raft.

Although the deep sea is different from the offshore sea, the waves are more powerful and majestic, but they are all young and strong, and these days they are full of food and drink, although at first a little thrilling, but quickly adapted.

The group did not hurry and went straight to the direction of Shark Island.

About three or four miles away from Pig's Trotter Island, there are far fewer large reefs and bulges that resemble small islands, and under the light of the noonday holy sun, the whole sea is blue and golden, and it is indescribably magnificent.

Xu Changqing stood at the bow of the boat, and sometimes he could clearly see a large number of fish floating by.

Although the effectiveness of the bamboo raft was very poor, and most of the shoes and pants were soon wet by the seawater, Xu Changqing did not feel the slightest discomfort, and his eyes were full of ambition!

Gently hummed the popular tune of the later generations: "Dare to ask where the road is, the road is under your feet?!" ”

Not long after, Xu Changqing and his party saw the shadow of Shark Island.

It's not just a big island, it's a group of islands!

There are also more than a dozen small islands and large reefs scattered around.

Even if it was so far away, Xu Changqing could easily find a few fishing spots where he could comfortably set up fishing nets.

The only unfriendly thing is that there are many fierce fins on the surface of the sea near this shark island, which is obviously not a good sign.

In later generations, Bohai Bay was a treasure trove of sharks because of its unique geographical advantages, even if it was overfishing and logging in later generations, Xu Changqing went to sea here several times, and he encountered sharks, let alone at this time.

Fortunately, these shark schools should not be large, there is no such giant level horror thing, and they should be used to domineering in this area, Xu Changqing's arrival did not arouse their interest.

Soon, the fleet bypassed several reef formations and landed on a gentle beach without any danger.

Scanning the surrounding scene, Xu Changqing's spirit suddenly lifted up!

The open space on this island is dozens of times wider than that of Pig's Trotter Island, and the rest of the island is flat except for a few mountains in the north and northeast.

Moreover, there are not only many verdant bamboo forests on the island, but also more than a dozen stone buildings left over from the early salt works.

With a little repair, these stone houses can be reused.

It must be known that the people of the salt works must have spent a lot of effort to build such a sturdy stone house on such a deserted island, because it is difficult to find this kind of stone on the island, and eighty percent of it is transported from outside.

Of course, Shark Island is good, but it's not perfect.

First of all, the terrain on the beach is too low, once the tide rises, I am afraid that it can spread to a third, and besides, there is not much land on the island, it is all sandy, so it is nothing to boil salt and raise some bamboo, but it is a little difficult to grow some vegetables and be self-sufficient.

However, the surrounding bay is surrounded by reefs, and there are a lot of wild kelp, seaweed, and sea celery, which are definitely good things!

And the picking is not very difficult.

Xu Changqing personally surveyed the topography of Shark Island, and asked Zhao Zengjin and Ergou, who already knew some knowledge of mapping, to lead people to draw a map of the island in detail, and he came to a stone house, checked it, climbed to the upper roof, and condescendingly looked at the surrounding scenery.

Although Shark Island has some imperfections, it is definitely a rare treasure for Xu Changqing at this time, and it is an important foundation for Xu Changqing to develop and grow!

It's a pity, Xu Changqing's silver at this time has bottomed out, even though it doesn't cost too much silver to feed the brigade at this time, but~, many big things you want to do, it is difficult to do without silver.

After Xu Changqing thought about it, he could only suppress this burning ambition first, step by step!

In particular, I need more elite talents in all aspects!

For example, there are all kinds of craftsmen who are extremely worthless in Ningyuan City.

Another example is more professional knowledge of Langzhong, chefs, fishermen, and even veteran farmers who are familiar with various crops.

Especially the veteran who has more knowledge in the army, is skilled in arching horses, and has spirituality!

But before that, Xu Changqing had to make some merits and earn some money and capital!
