Early in the morning of the fifth day, Xu Lang, Li Shuang and others came to the place where they disembarked as agreed with the purchased materials and more than a dozen women, waiting for the arrival of the No. 777 speedboat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info This time, there are not many iron and cotton arrangements, mainly grain, more than 10,000 catties, in addition to buying more than a dozen big fat pigs. The travelers in Yulin Bay are all from modern times, belonging to high-protein, high-fat carnivores, and the ration for more than a month is basically no oil and water, which makes many people feel that their physical strength is constantly declining. Of course, because in the end he paid 50 taels of silver to the shopkeeper Huang, the silver left by Xu Lang selling salt was far from enough, in order to show his friendship to Xu Lang for giving him the monopoly of refined salt for free, Li Shuang used his own silver to bear the rest of the shopping money, Xu Lang repeatedly said that this silver is considered an advance payment for the next purchase of refined salt.

Sun Jiayi was wearing new clothes, bouncing around Sun Tianhao along the way, and never left for a moment. The little girl showed joy and joy that she had never felt before. Sun Tianhao's head was full of chrysanthemums picked by the little girl, and regardless of the secret laughter of others, he smiled silly, his face was full of satisfaction and relief.

"There's nothing more fun than that." Xu Lang thought in his heart.

No. 777 has not yet arrived, and Xu Lang and Li Shuang are talking for the last time before breaking up.

"Brother Li, let's say goodbye for a while, I hope Brother Li will bother more about the fundraising."

"Brother Xu is polite, Li should do his best, Brother Xu can give all the refined salt in Qiongzhou, this great kindness, Li doesn't know how to reciprocate. It's just that Brother Xu's conditions Li thinks are a bit too high, and now I'm in the Ming Dynasty, I'm ashamed to say that it's not easy to eat a full stomach. With all due respect, recruiting craftsmen should be a person who recruits craftsmen, and no matter how bad they are, they are also strong people, but Brother Xu seems to want them regardless of men, women, and children, and the more a family, the better, this Li is extremely difficult to understand, not to mention anything else, a family of five or six, only one or two people can work, and the rest are old and young, can Brother Xu not be able to raise it in vain? ”

Xu Lang's recruitment conditions for Li Shuang are quite generous, he is full every day, meat once every 5 days, and there is no less than 1 yuan of silver per month. And there are many people who want to get married, and it is best for the whole family to come to Yulin Bay, which makes Li Shuang puzzled.

"Brother Li." Xu Lang explained, "In our homeland, everyone has a role to play. Like them. Xu Lang pointed at the women, "They can also sew clothes and cook, and they can also support themselves." ”

"Besides." Xu Lang smiled again, "Men and women are matched, and they are not tired of working." Brother Li, take a long-term view, we will not only cooperate on salt in the future. ”

"Even so, Li doesn't ask much, just try his best to do it." Li Shuang now feels that Xu Lang and these people always seem to have some thinking beyond ordinary people, and they are unpredictable, and they don't think about it anymore.

Xu Lang hugged his fist to Li Shuang: "Please." ”

"The pie has been drawn, and only God knows if it can be delivered. I don't think I'm a cheater. Xu Lang smiled bitterly in his heart.

No. 777 arrived as scheduled, and after everyone moved the supplies to the ship, Li Shuang took the people to say goodbye and return to his hometown. Lu Tianxiang didn't come this time, and the old man couldn't bear the bumps of the speedboat, and it was Jiang Beiming, Zhang Guodong and Sun Dalei who came to pick up Xu Lang.

With the experience of the last time, Zeng Guangxian didn't say a word, and directly asked the navy soldiers to escort those Ming Dynasty women who did not dare to get on the ship directly to the ship and put them in a cabin with only one wooden barrel. Sun Jiayi enjoyed the privilege once, and was not imprisoned, but stayed alone with Sun Tianhao.

The four committee members held an ad hoc meeting and each gave a briefing.

When talking about Sun Tianhao and Sun Jiayi, Xu Lang said: "When we first landed, everyone was very busy and tired, and no one had the heart to pay attention to these problems, but now we are slowly getting on the right track, especially when it is about to be August 15, this problem is very tricky, I think the committee should come up with a solution." ”

"yes." Sun Dalei said, "According to the sentinel's reaction, there are often people secretly crying at night in Yulin Bay, and it is estimated that they are also homesick, and if this problem is not solved, I am also worried that it will suddenly break out on August 15." ”

"But what can we do, can we travel back in time?" Jiang Beiming said.

"Actually, I'm homesick too." Zhang Guodong sighed, "My son will take the high school entrance examination next year, and I don't know what school he can be admitted to. ”

"Forget it, let's discuss this issue collectively after we go back." Zhang Guodong touched the corner of his eyes, "I'll tell you about the situation at home." ”

Five days ago, after No. 777 sent off Xu Lang and his people, he returned to the agreed place and received two people, Lin Chao and Lu Xing. This time, Lin Chao and Lu Xing did not come alone, but also brought a few people, the first one was about 40 years old, and his conversation and demeanor revealed a sense of wealth and wealth, and what made the traversers even more unexpected was that this person spoke the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty.

As part of "rebuilding China", Zhu Yuanzhang's edict revised the "Hongwu Zhengyun", which was based on the Yayin of the Central Plains of the Song Dynasty, and in fact based on the dialect of Nanjing, which was the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty. The official dialect of the Ming Dynasty later formed the Xiajiang official dialect of later generations, that is, the Jianghuai official dialect. When Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, he brought a large number of people from Nanjing and nearby areas, which was the foundation of the Peking people in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty has always been based on the Xiajiang official dialect of Nanjing instead of the Beijing dialect, so in fact, the Beijing dialect of the Ming Dynasty is relatively close to the Nanjing dialect. And Nanjing's dialect is understandable by most travelers.

There is no longer a need to rely on words as a means of communication, which saves Professor Lu a lot of trouble. According to the person's self-introduction, his name is Gao Pengju, a businessman from Qiongzhou Mansion, and he is a family friend of Lin Lu and the two families. This time, many of the small objects brought back by Lin Lu and the two of them were all for Gao Pengju, and Gao Pengju was very interested in the glasses and mirrors. Gao Pengju has been running to Guangzhou all the year round, and knows that the price of a set of Western glasses in Guangzhou is far from being as high as hundreds of silver, and this kind of such a clear mirror is unseen. Especially when I heard that there were 2 iron boats without sail oars, there were oil lamps on the iron ships that did not need to be lit and were as bright as day, Gao Pengju said that he would come to see for himself, so he took a few family members to follow Lin Chao and Lu Xing to Yazhou.

In the past few days, Gao Pengju has been wandering around in Yulin Bay, and he has only had a shallow conversation with Lu Tianxiang. Because Sun Tianhao is now the head of the trade group, the committee decided not to make any transactions with Gao Pengju until Sun Tianhao returns.

In addition, Liang Chengdong and Gu Yunkun's agricultural team have not yet returned, and according to the agreement 15 days before departure, the time has not yet arrived. The rest of the construction and production are proceeding in an orderly manner. Pham Thuyminh's scientific and technological group is stepping up time to develop iron-smelting, steel-making, gunpowder, cement and glass. Shen Daxing's iron-striking work was stopped again due to the problem of raw materials, and Shen Daxing had to cut down trees again, which made him extremely depressed. According to the current situation that the scale of construction in Yulin Bay is getting bigger and bigger, safety has become a very important issue, and the sentries have reported more than once that some people of unknown origin have peeped at Yulin Bay from afar, but unfortunately the distance is too far, and the sentries do not dare to go out to investigate. The Commission is of the view that if there is any armed conflict, the guns in the hands of the traversers will not be sufficient, especially the bullets. Moreover, each of the outing groups took with them a lot of weapons, so the committee decided to develop a musket, even a flintlock pistol or an arquebus, as soon as possible.

After introducing the situation at home, Zhang Guodong finally said: "We now have a long way to go." ”

"The future is bright, but the road is tortuous." Sun Dalei said, "You must have confidence. ”

"I'm afraid that the future is bright and invisible, and the road is tortuous and incomplete." Xu Lang laughed, "Just kidding, kidding." ”

No. 777 anchored in Yulin Bay. The traversers built a simple dock out of wood, and the 777 could be docked directly without having to change to a rubber boat.

Seeing more than a dozen women from the Ming Dynasty getting off the boat in turn, Cheng Yiyi jumped to Xu Lang's side: "What? Becoming a human trafficker? You can't stand it without a woman? ”

Xu Lang laughed: "You go and ask Sun Tianhao about this." Hey, I can't stand it anymore, so 。。。。。。 you ”

"Shut up. Dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths. ”

Sun Tianhao pulled Sun Jiayi to stand in front of Lu Tianxiang and He Yun: "Jiayi, in the future, this will be your and your brother's home, called grandparents." ”

"Grandpa, grandma." Sun Jiayi called out obediently.

Lu Tianxiang and his wife already knew about these women in the Ming Dynasty, and He Yun ignored the isolation regulations and caressed Sun Jiayi in his arms: "Good, Jiayi is really good." Lao Lu, our Lulu is also so old, it's just 。。。。。。 He Yun choked up.

"Okay, okay, don't be like Xianglin's sister-in-law." When Lu Tianxiang said this, the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

"Jiayi, follow grandma in the future, grandma loves you." He Yun said.

"Okay, I'll follow grandma and serve grandma."

"Okay, you're a little girl, if you have a grandmother, you don't want a brother." Sun Tianhao said with a smile on the side.

The little girl tilted her head, completely without the timidity of the previous days: "Grandma wants it too, and my brother wants it too." ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

These women of the Ming Dynasty, except for Sun Jiayi, are all 2,30-year-old women. The Women's Federation took responsibility as a matter of course, and after discussing with Tan Jing, He Yun categorically rejected the request of some traversers to be assigned to the group, but set up a garment group to make clothes for the traversal group first.

At the request of Dr. Ouyang, these Ming Dynasty women and Xu Lang, who came back, were quarantined and inspected, bathed and changed. The last time Li Shuang and the others came to Yulin Bay, they were not quarantined and checked, but after they left, they found lice, a small insect that is rare in modern society. This has aroused great attention from Dr. Ouyang. The committee has temporarily formulated quarantine regulations, and all returnees and outsiders must be quarantined and inspected before entering Yulin Bay.

Originally, the relatively safe quarantine time should have been about a week, but now is the time when there is a shortage of people everywhere, so these people who came back were allowed to enter Yulin Bay the next day.
