Li Shuang stayed in Yulin Bay for five full days. The Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info travelers did not have too many restrictions on Li Shuang's people, except that they could not go to the machine gun position and get on the two ships, all other places were open to these Ming Dynasty people, of course, the process of coarse salt purification was still secret to Li Shuang now. Even so, Li Shuang was shocked. Seeing the salt pan made by Xia Yang, Li Shuang finally believed in the supply guaranteed by Sun Tianhao patting his chest. And when he saw the two iron boats parked in Yulin Bay, Li Shuang couldn't figure out why the iron boats could float on the water, and they had no sails or oars, and they didn't know how to start.

The committee had a long talk with Li Shuang, and Lu Tianxiang asked a lot about the current situation of Ming Dynasty society. In the face of Lu Tianxiang's rich historical knowledge and extremely high literary accomplishment, Li Shuang finally believed that these people were indeed the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty who were exiled overseas, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a deep understanding of Chinese civilization. But Li Shuang still couldn't understand why these people had been living overseas for hundreds of years, and they actually knew more about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty than he, a native of the Ming Dynasty.

"Brother Li." Xu Lang arched his hand at Li Shuang, "What does Brother Li think of me in Yulin Bay these days?" ”

"Brother Xu." Li Shuang replied, "These few days have been an eye-opener, and it is unheard of and unseen." However, there are still some doubts below, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

"Brother Li, it's okay to talk about it, Xu Mou listens to it."

Li Shuang thought about it, since he would definitely have to deal with these descendants of the Song people for a long time in the future, it would be better to present a letter of nomination first: "Looking down, you mean to live here for a long time, I don't know if Li's guess can be accurate." ”

Xu Lang looked around at the surrounding committee members and said, "Yes, I have drifted here from the sea, tens of thousands of miles away from my homeland, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to return for a while, so it is necessary to stay here for a long time." I wonder what Brother Li has to teach you?"

"That's right." Li Shuang said, "This place is the territory of my Ming Dynasty, even if the government does not know your arrival at this time, it will always know in the future, I don't know what you plan to do about this matter, this is one of them." Second, although you are highly skilled, there are always not enough people, and there are some places where you are quite unskilled, such as the city wall you have built, and I don't know what you should do about it. Li's class got an axe, and everyone laughed. ”

Xu Lang glanced at each other again, and this Li Shuang hit the nail on the head.

Shi Xianyang answered on the side: "Brother Li is so refreshing, we don't hide it, these two points are indeed our current shortcomings, I don't know what Brother Li thinks." Through the observation of Li Shuang's words and expressions in the past few days, the committee felt that this person was bold and had no intentions, so he decided to cooperate with him further, hoping that Li Shuang could become a link between the crossing group and the Ming Dynasty, so these problems would not be hidden from Li Shuang.

"Takami doesn't dare to talk about it." Li Shuang said, "But Li lives here, and he knows a few words, and he can't say that he has a deep friendship with the government, but he also has some contacts. However, I am afraid that this is a bit difficult to deal with when it comes to personnel. ”

"Li Gongzi." Sun Dalei said, "I don't know if Li Gongzi is willing to recruit some craftsmen for us, we can hire them, the conditions are not bad, Li Gongzi's benefits, naturally there are also them." "Although it has been less than a month since the landing, the lack of manpower is now increasingly becoming a bottleneck for the crossing group. Relying only on the crossing group itself, the construction of Yulin Bay was too slow, and some people at the crossing conference proposed to exchange salt for silver to buy people, anyway, during the Ming Dynasty, there were still more human trafficking, and some people even proposed to go directly to kidnap tickets. In the end, with the intervention of the Committee, it was decided to use the more civilized method of employment as far as possible.

"This. Li is not unwilling to help with this, it's just," Li Shuang looked at the traversers present with some hesitation, "It's just that you are from overseas, and the customs of food and clothing are different from my Ming, I'm afraid 。。。。。。 ”

"Of course we know that." Xu Lang said, "Brother Li doesn't have to worry too much, it's still Brother Li's words, it's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen, and Brother Li will do his best." It's just that there is one more thing, Xu wants to hear Brother Li's opinion. ”

"That's good, that's good." Li Shuang hurriedly replied, "Brother Xu has something to say, please speak." ”

"Brother Li also saw that our refined salt production is huge, but since then, there is no feasible way to the north, this time Brother Li brought these grain iron tools, although it has solved our urgent needs, but it is quite troublesome to transport, and Brother Li will increase in the future, I am afraid it will be even more inconvenient."

"Exactly." Li Shuang replied, "I don't know what Brother Xu has to say?" ”

"I don't dare to be taught." Xu Lang stared at Li Shuang and said, "How is the ship?" ”

"This?" Li Shuang hesitated.

"What's the difficulty, Li Gongzi said it's okay." Zhang Guodong interjected with Zou Zou.

"Shipping is naturally time-saving and labor-saving, and the volume is sufficient, but Li has been on the road to eat this bowl of rice all these years, and the waterway is not involved. And now the sea surface of Yazhou is not very peaceful. Especially last time, you helped Li and He Lao Liu, and they formed a bond. The He family has something to do with those people at sea. Moreover, I don't hide it from you, Li has been going back and forth all these years, and Li's next home is in Yazhou, but Li is not familiar with the water village in Yazhou, so this waterway is quite difficult. ”

"I think it's still like this." Lu Tianxiang spoke, "We will send someone to Li Gongzi to Yazhou to help Li Gongzi open up the joint as much as possible, as for the problem between the He family and the sea, we will be responsible for this." ”

The two sides talked about the time of holding the lantern, and finally agreed that Xu Lang and others would go to Yazhou together with Li Shuang. In addition to exchanging the grain and iron tools brought by Li Shuang this time, the crossing group also gave Li Shuang 1,000 catties of refined salt as the funds for this trip to Yazhou. And the crossing group sent the No. 777 speedboat to serve as the transport mission.

Li Shuang stayed in Yulin Bay for a few more days. During this period, Ding Laosan took away a batch of salt and brought back some grain. Ding Laosan is the subordinate of Li Shuang, who was defeated by the traverser, the Ming Dynasty people had no name, he was the third, so he was named Ding Laosan. The Crossing Group is now in dire need of expanding its trading volume, and this kind of day of eating the last meal and looking for the next meal has worried the entire committee. At the same time, Liang Chengdong and Gu Yunkun also set off to Lizhai with the people of the agricultural team carrying refined salt on their backs.

Yulin Bay is less than 100 miles away from Yazhou, and the No. 777 speedboat can reach it in less than 2 hours. The committee calculated the date, and after sending Xu Lang and Li Shuang to Yazhou on the 777th, they picked up Lin Chao and Lu Xing on the way back, and the day agreed with these two Da Ming Xiucai was approaching. These days, everyone has stopped what they are doing, and the 24-hour rest of refining refined salt, even the crossing meeting, which was supposed to be held on the first day of each month, has been postponed by unanimous resolution. The day before departure, all 5,000 catties of refined salt were loaded.

The sun is rising. Lu Tianxiang, Xu Lang, Li Shuang and others stood on the deck, a long whistle sounded, and No. 777 started slowly again after stopping for a month. After these Ming Dynasty people got on the ship, they all looked east and west like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, and finally stood collectively in front of the 37mm naval guns covered with gun jackets and pondered what was under the thick canvas. Jiang Beiming had to order the navy soldiers to drive all these Ming Dynasty people except Li Shuang into the cabin and lock them up, but fortunately, it was only a few hours, and it was not illegal detention.

This time, the traversers who went to Yazhou with Li Shuang were Xu Lang, Zhang Hai, Liu Jun and Sun Tianhao. The four of them changed into the Daming clothes brought by Ding Laosan, and pointed at each other and couldn't help laughing. Li Shuang clung to the railing tightly and didn't dare to move. This ship has no sails and no oars, but at this speed, Li Shuang didn't dare to look down, the sea surface was split by the bow of the ship, and the waves splashed. Li Shuang was dizzy for a while, it was better to be locked in the cabin with those men.

No. 777 landed in a harbor not far from Yazhou, and these Ming Dynasty people stood on the beach before settling down a little. The journey just now made these people who had never been on such a fast boat vomit, which made Zeng Guangxian very annoyed, and it took a lot of time just to clean the cabin.

"Brother Li." Xu Lang asked Li Shuang, "Is it still dangerous to go to Yazhou here?" ”

"Nope." Li Shuang still feels that his feet are fluttering, "This is the ground in Yazhou, turning that mountain beam, it is the official road leading to Yazhou, and when you get here, no one is allowed to do anything else, because the salt merchants in Yazhou need salt." ”

Li Shuang beckoned his subordinates who were still dizzy to load the salt bags onto the wheelbarrow and start to set off for Yazhou, and No. 777 saw Xu Lang and them landing safely, so he turned around and returned. On the return trip, the two sides agreed to meet here again after the 5th.

Xu Lang and the others followed Li Shuang into Yazhou City with a familiar car, and the soldiers guarding the door looked at Xu Lang and the four people very strangely, and after Li Shuang secretly stuffed a piece of broken silver, he didn't say anything, but waved his hand and let the group enter the city.

Ding Laosan took people to sell goods, Xu Lang and others did not want to follow, but followed Li Shuang to an inn. It is said to be an inn, but in fact, it is a broken yard and a few thatched huts.

The ancient city of Yazhou to the Ming Dynasty, on the basis of the Song and Yuan dynasties, add bricks and stones, build the enemy tower on it, dredge the moat outside, add the moon city, make the city area reach more than 1,000 acres, and have the grand occasion of "the sound of string recitation Li Minwushu, the eunuch tour of the capital of the small Suzhou and Hangzhou". According to the record of "Sanya City Chronicle": In the 20th year of Qianlong, Yazhou had Dongguan City and Xiguan City, and there were more than 30 cloth shops, hotels, jewelry stores, and bookstores on the old street. But after all, it is still the Ming Dynasty, and in the eyes of these modern people, it is still dilapidated.
