Chapter 116: Grinding Spirits

Guo Jintao asked, "Mr. Zhao, how many boats are we going to?" What about the scope of the inspection? ”

Zhao Zi thought about it again and said: "Let's go to the four boats, the scope of your inspection is the entire sea east of the Sanjiang Estuary in Mingzhou, and if you encounter a boat that is not pleasing to the eye, stop it and inspect it; If you see pirates, you will fight to the death, the bed crossbow on our warship is not an ornament, you must let the guards participate in the actual battle as soon as possible, and we will go whaling in two months! ”

An Dalang was happy, "Brother, don't worry, Lao Guo and I will definitely clean up all the pirates in this sea area, and those merchant ships and fishing boats that disobey discipline will also be detained, and we will let everyone know our majesty in a short time!" ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically and said, "Da Lang, you are the inspection of the inspection department, and Lao Guo is the deputy inspector of the ninth grade." The two of you should cooperate well, find out the situation in this sea area, and draw a detailed chart. Each island should be surveyed, written down how many people there are, what specialties they have, and how many pirates they have, and if they encounter pirates, they will all be killed. ”

The two men agreed to come down and take the assembled guards to maintain order. After tidying up the ranks of the homeless, more than a hundred guards led the team of homeless people towards the camp.

Zhao Zizhong and An Dalang walked at the back of the team and came to the open space outside the camp. Cui Zhaorong was waiting for everyone, and after seeing Zhao Zizhong, he came over and said anxiously: "Mr. Zhao, now the wooden house can only fit more than 400 people, but there are more than 700 displaced people, what should I do?" ”

Zhao Zizhong comforted him and said, "Steward Cui, don't worry, there must be a way." Today, let's squeeze as much as possible and make room for the homeless to live in. The canteen and school can also be temporarily occupied, and it is estimated that the homeless people can live. Tomorrow you take the new homeless people to build some shacks, and deal with them for a while, anyway, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and you shouldn't be able to freeze those homeless. ”

Cui Zhaorong's face turned from gloomy to clear, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, you still have a way, you can make me anxious just now." I'll arrange it now. ”

At this time, some servants came out of the camp carrying a dozen cauldrons, and the homeless people smelled the aroma of seafood porridge and began to stir, and many people crowded in front.

Zhang Hong didn't wait for Zhao Zi to give an order, and immediately shouted loudly: "Brothers, call me!" Then he rushed to the ranks of the outcasts. The guards followed one after another, punching and kicking the homeless people who rushed in front, and for a while the homeless people let out the sound of ghosts crying wolves, many of them were knocked to the ground, and those behind were all hugging their heads and running around.

Zhao Zizhong said with relief: "Zhang Hong, this kid is very clever!" It's a good material, Da Lang, and you have to focus on cultivating him in the future. ”

An Dalang asked, "Brother, don't you remember who Zhang Hong is?" ”

Zhao Zizhong was puzzled, "What's the matter?" What did he do? ”

An Dalang explained: "Brother, do you remember that when the first batch of displaced people arrived, five of them refused to obey the discipline, were severely beaten by us, and then locked up in a small black house for three days? ”

"There is such a thing, but what does it have to do with Zhang Hong?"

An Dalang said with a smile: "Zhang Hong is one of those five people!" He later joined the Escort and did well, and was promoted to squad leader. This kid has a smart brain and black hands, so he's a good material. ”

Zhao Zizhong suddenly realized, "No wonder he immediately rushed up to beat those homeless people, it turned out that he was scared by us!" ”

At this time, the guards forcibly lined up the homeless people, came up in turn to serve porridge, and then asked them to go to the open space to squat and eat.

For a while, the open space was filled with the sound of snoring and eating, and the homeless people were all drinking porridge, and no one spoke.

Cui Daoshu and Du Dalei walked over from the west with a group of people, and when they saw Zhao Zizhong, they quickened their pace and walked over.

Zhao Zizhong asked, "How did you meet together?" ”

Du Dalei said: "Boss, I met Xiao Qi when I came back from work, and I came back together. ”

Cui Daoshu added: "I have been watching the spirits workshop today, the speed of construction is quite fast, Hu Shuiyang's workers are now working very quickly, it is estimated that the workshop will be put into production in a few days." ”

The brothers chatted, and when the homeless people finished eating the porridge, Zhang Hong and Cui Zhaorong led the homeless team into the camp with the guards and arranged for them to find a place to rest.

Zhao Zizhong and his brothers walked to the cafeteria, entered the gate, and saw Boris sitting with Wei Hongye and Na Zhe eating together. There were several girls sitting at the table next to her, including Fang Juniang, Wanqiu, Fu Hongyu, and four women who came together.

The brothers walked over and sat down, Du Dalei's eyes kept looking at Fu Hongyu, with a gentle smile on his face.

Na Zhe shook his hand in front of him a few times, and was slapped away by Du Dalei impatiently. Wanqiu, Fang Juniang, and a few girls couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, Fu Hongyu didn't hear it, and ate the rice in the bowl intently.

The servants brought the food, and the brothers ate it, Du Dalei was a little distracted, pulling the rice in the bowl, and his eyes were still staring at Fu Hongyu. Fang Juniang gently pushed Fu Hongyu, she raised her head, and Fang Juniang pointed at Du Dalei.

Fu Hongyu couldn't help frowning when she saw Du Dalei looking demented, and then continued to eat with her head down, as if nothing had happened.

At this time, Wei Hongye said to Cui Daoshu: "Old Seven, your sister has often gone to the kiln factory these days and sent me a lot of food to eat, what is going on?" ”

Cui Daoshu said with a smile: "Second brother, listen to my explanation, my sister saw a small mirror at the auction, so she played with it." She pestered me all day and asked me to find one for her, but where do I find it? ”

Na Zhe immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, there is such a thing." Cui Xiaoniang also asked me for a few times, but I didn't have it! Now when I see her, I will hide away, or I will be tortured by her. ”

Wei Hongye asked a little puzzled, "What does that have to do with me?" ”

Cui Daoshu explained: "The relationship is big! I said to my sister that the mirror must be gone. However, the second brother may make a mirror, let her wait patiently, maybe in a few years. ”

Wei Hongye said helplessly: "Daoshu, you are leading to trouble!" I said why your sister always runs to the smoky kiln factory, it turns out that there is a purpose! Are mirrors so easy to make? I'm convinced. ”

Cui Daoshu hurriedly made amends, "Second brother, I'm sorry." I really can't help it! My sister is a grinder, I'm about to collapse, so you can take care of it more. ”

Na Zhe also said; "Yes! When I was in Cui's house, I was also tortured enough by her. Lao Wei, you are the elder brother, I guess she is embarrassed to grind you, so she has to bribe you with things, don't you promise her that it will be over? As for when the mirror will be made, that's another story. ”

Zhao Zizhong also persuaded: "Lao Wei, Cui Xiaoniang is also the sister of all of us, although she is a little pestering, but her personality is not rude, she is still very kind, you can take care of some." ”

The brothers all persuaded Wei Hongye to be as patient as possible, and he had no choice but to agree. Cui Daoshu smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that things are going well, and he has to tell Ah Mei to step up the attack.

After eating, the women said goodbye to their brothers and walked out of the cafeteria. Du Dalei returned to his usual appearance and began to eat.

Zhao Zizhong talked to everyone about the establishment of the Inspection Division, and said that An Dalang could go to sea with the fleet to inspect tomorrow. The brothers had a heated discussion and came up with some ideas.

Boris thought about it and said, "Boss, I also want to go to sea with them." ”

"Oh? Is there something you can do? ”

Boris said a little embarrassed: "Boss, I've been drying salt for the past few months, and I really feel a little bored, and I want to go to sea to relax." ”

Wei Hongye asked, "What about the salt drying thing?" Who's going to care when you're gone? ”

Boris replied: "I've trained a couple of foremen these days, and there's nothing to do when I'm not there. ”

Zhao Zi thought about it again and said: "I think it's okay, Boris squats on the beach every day, and he should rest." You arrange the matter of drying salt, and you will go to sea with Dalang tomorrow. ”

Du Dalei shouted: "Boss, I want to go too, and I haven't rested." ”

Zhao Zi glared at him again, "Don't follow the coaxing, now you have to keep an eye on the production of bed crossbows, didn't you promise me to install all the warships on bed crossbows within a month?" When the bed and crossbow are ready, I will let you go to sea. ”

Du Dalei sat down unhappily and pulled the rice in the bowl. An Dalang persuaded with a smile: "Lao Du, you can bear with it for a few days." Make a bed crossbow as soon as possible, install it on the ship, and when the guards are familiar with the operation of the bed crossbow, we will go to sea to hunt whales! Then you will come with us. ”

"How long will that be? It's boring. ”

Wei Hongye thought about it and diverted the topic: "More than 700 homeless people are here today, let's think about how to distribute them?" ”

Zhao Zizhong said: "Now the escort team has a total of 160 guards and 90 crossbowmen. I will choose a hundred and fifty men, a hundred guards, and fifty crossbowmen. ”

Boris thought about it and said, "I'll do whatever I want, you pick the rest and give it to me." ”

Du Dalei said: "I want carpenters and carpenters, and I want fifty more." ”

Wei Hongye thought about it and said, "I want a hundred people, and blacksmiths and masons. ”

Zhao Zizhong calculated, "Then the rest of the people, excluding women and children, will be less than a hundred, all to Boris." Tomorrow, let Cui Zhaorong lead the homeless people to build a shack first, and then build a file for them. Then the craftsmen are selected and distributed to various workshops. In a few days, the members of the convoy will be selected first, and finally the displaced people will be divided according to the number of places. ”

The brothers had no objection and agreed. Zhao Zizhong took out Altan's letter from his arms and let everyone watch it. He opened his mouth and said, "Altan has a letter, let's take a look." ”
