Chapter 106: Meeting

Cui Daoshu asked, "This warehouse is almost more than 100 square meters, right?" ”

Hu Shuiyang replied: "There are 200 square meters, and a total of three rooms have been repaired. It will continue to be built in the future, and now the output of mainly cement and red bricks cannot keep up. ”

Cui Daoshu walked around, and then walked out of the warehouse with Du Dalei. By this time, the homeless people had already disembarked and gathered on the beach, a large area of black oppression.

Du Dalei asked, "How many people are there in this group of displaced people?" ”

"There are more than 300 people in total, and because of the Chinese New Year, the businessmen who cooperated with our Cui family did not go all out to collect the displaced people, so this time there were a little less."

Du Dalei nodded, "We have to continue to build wooden houses, otherwise the next batch of displaced people will arrive, and the houses will not be enough to live in." Hey~, our stall is a little too big, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere! ”

"It's okay, there are always more ways than difficulties, and our brothers will work together to get through. You are busy here, I'll go see my mother myself, and we'll meet again in the evening. ”

----------------- ------------------------- -------------------

After dinner, the six brothers gathered in the conference room, and Cui Daoshu told about the meeting with Qian Hongyi and An Dalang's interception of Liu Yan's father and son.

Everyone was shocked, Wei Hongye said: "You said that Qian Hongyi wants to set up an inspection department on Qishan Island? Is it settled? ”

"It has been confirmed, he wants to write a letter to Hangzhou to inform him of the matter. It is estimated that the approval will be given soon, and he will be able to issue an official document, and we will become a legal organization. ”

Zhao Zizhong sighed: "It's still money that touches people's hearts!" The Cui family gave up Wu Yueguo's liquor market, and handed over the method of brewing wine, in exchange for this official robe, which is a big enough price. ”

Du Dalei said proudly: "Then we can walk sideways on this sea in the future, and we can clean up whoever we want." If you see a guy who doesn't like your eyes, you can collect heavy taxes, and if you can't do it, you can detain the boat and arrest people, and see who dares to disagree! Hahaha! ”

Cui Daoshu said: "I want Da Lang to be the inspector and let him command the current eight warships, by the way, I brought five more warships today, and now we can form a small fleet." ”

Everyone is very happy, with a certain scale of sea power, it is very helpful for the defense of Qishan Island, in addition, it can also escort merchant ships, and it is completely possible to go to Liao, Korea, and Japan to do business, and there is no need to worry about the threat of pirates.

Du Dalei said excitedly: "In a few days, when enough bed crossbows are produced, I will install every warship, and then I will go to sea to hunt whales, how majestic it is!" ”

Na Zhe poured cold water on him: "Now that the ship is available, do you have enough bed crossbow operators?" If you still want to go whaling, I think it's better to train a group of qualified crossbowmen first. ”

Du Dalei immediately deflated, and he asked Zhao Zizhong eagerly: "Boss, how many crossbow operators do you have in your hands now?" ”

Zhao Zizhong said: "I only recruit thirty people now, let Zhai Xiaoshan take them to train." However, they are now training on land, and if they want to skillfully operate the bed crossbow on the warship, they have to go on the ship to train for a while, and it is estimated that it will take a month or two. ”

Boris interjected: "There are still too few people! I don't think each ship needs thirty crossbowmen, and it won't work if it's missing! ”

"Then recruit more homeless people, get more than 200 of them, and ensure that each boat is equipped with at least thirty crossbowmen." Du Dalei suggested.

Zhao Zi thought about it again, and said: "It's not okay to recruit more than 200 people at once, now there is a shortage of people in various projects, and you can't recruit so many people, let's find sixty people first, let Zhai Xiaoshan take them and mix them with the crossbowmen who have been training for a while, and then go to sea to train as soon as possible, so that the fleet can form combat effectiveness in a short time." ”

Du Dalei rolled his eyes and continued to ask, "Boss, shouldn't the hundred guards also learn the operation of the bed crossbow?" They will definitely go on board to fight in the future. ”

Zhao Zizhong explained: "Now the guards are training in the Mandarin Duck Formation, after a while, I will definitely let them learn the operation of the bed crossbow, it is not easy to fight on the ship, long-range weapons and hand-to-hand combat are equally important, everything must be excellent." ”

Wei Hongye proposed: "Our advantage is *weapon, shouldn't we immediately study how to tie the *bag to the crossbow arrow and then launch it?" Then we will be invincible at sea. ”

Everyone looked at Du Dalei, and he immediately said: "No problem, I'll let the craftsmen do experiments right away and get it out as soon as possible." ”

Boris also said: "Lao Du, can you ask the craftsmen to improve the bed crossbow, so that the bed crossbow can directly fire the * package?" That would increase the range, and the * pack would explode directly on the enemy's deck, which would definitely be much more powerful than a crossbow arrow. ”

"I'll try, it shouldn't be difficult."

Zhao Zizhong said solemnly: "That's not necessarily, * is very dangerous, you and the craftsmen must be very careful, try to use substitutes when testing, you can't use * bags immediately, the craftsmen are all treasures!" ”

Du Dalei agreed, and Wei Hongye said: "Not only explosive weapons, but also research and development*, which is more powerful than a simple * bag!" If * hits an enemy ship, there is now no means to extinguish the flames, unless the ship is loaded with a lot of sand, do you say it is possible? ”

Everyone talked about it, and they all said that * is an absolute big killer, and it must be done as soon as possible.

Cui Daoshu said: "I have already sent someone to buy fierce fire oil, but there are very few of them, and the price is very expensive, so it is not very cost-effective!" ”

Wei Hongye thought about it and said, "How about alcohol? If the spirits workshop further purifies the alcohol from the high-grade liquor, can it be used as a raw material for *? ”

Cui Daoshu shook his head and said, "That's not cheap!" The price of food is very expensive now, and even if you make alcohol, you can't afford it! ”

Du Dalei interjected: "I still have to go whaling!" Made with whale fat*, it's definitely much cheaper. ”

Zhao Zizhong said: "We can't be in a hurry, let's advance step by step, train the crossbowmen first, and then go out to sea to hunt whales in June and July when the weather is warm." ”

There was no objection to this, and it was decided that the selection of crossbowmen among the homeless people would begin tomorrow. Cui Daoshu continued: "I am going to stay on the island for a period of time this time, and there are several main tasks, and I hope that the brothers can cooperate vigorously. ”

Everyone said that there was no problem, and Cui Daoshu said: "The first item, I want to build a spirits workshop. ”

Zhao Zizhong immediately said: "I asked Hu Shuiyang to accompany you to the site selection tomorrow, and when the warehouse is completed, the construction will start immediately." ”

Cui Daoshu continued: "Second, I have brought a few senior bookkeepers, and the bank and supermarket can be ready to open. ”

"That's a good thing! You immediately choose a few empty houses in the camp, prepare as soon as possible, I will let Na Zhe assist you, and ask Cui Zhaorong for anything if you are missing. Zhao Zizhong immediately said.

Na Zhe asked, "What about the banknotes?" We can't write by hand, can we? ”

Cui Daoshu said with a smile: "I have brought a few engraving craftsmen, and I can start engraving tomorrow, and it is estimated that simple banknotes will be printed in a few days." ”

He continued: "Thirdly, I brought the seeds of potatoes and corn, and the farmers who planted them, and when it was warm in a few days, I planted the corn and potatoes. ”

"And chili!" Du Dalei shouted.

"You're a big foodie!" Na Zhe hit him and said.

"What's so bad about being a foodie? History is driven by foodies. ”

Wei Hongye saw that the two of them began to quarrel again, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk about it, there are still serious things to discuss." ”

"What's more important than a spicy hot pot? We Sichuan people don't have chili peppers to eat, but how can we survive! ”

Everyone ignored him, and Wei Hongye said: "In addition to women and children, there are more than 260 men in this group of displaced people, how can they be distributed?" ”

Zhao Zi thought about it again, "The escort team will pick sixty people first, and then there will be two hundred people left, let's talk about how many people we want." ”

Boris said: "I can give me as much as I want, I don't have a problem. ”

Wei Hongye calculated, looked up and said, "I want them all!" But you can't look too ugly, can you? ”

Everyone laughed, and Du Dalei hurriedly said: "Why do you have to give me fifty people, otherwise the output of bed crossbows will definitely not go up." ”

Wei Hongye said: "In this way, I want 100 people, 50 people each for Boris and Xiao Du, do you have any opinions?" ”

The brothers all agreed, and after discussing some details, the meeting broke up and went back to rest.

Cui Daoshu returned to his house, and Shen Shi greeted him and asked, "Husband, why did you come back so early today?" In the past, when you brothers had a meeting, it would end very late. ”

Cui Daoshu took off his coat and said, "There is nothing important to solve today, so the meeting will be dismissed early." Did the mother sleep? ”

"I have fallen asleep, and now my mother's life is very regular, I go to bed early and get up early every day, and I often go to raise chickens and ducks during the day, and my complexion is much better."

Cui Daoshu was very happy, and asked again, "What is Ah Mei busy with?" I didn't even see her today. ”

Shen smiled and said: "Ah Mei is very free now, the girls you brought have all gone to teach, Ah Mei has nothing to do, she plays on the island every day, or she paints the scenery on the island, and she is happy every day." ”

Cui Daoshu sat down, drank tea slowly, and asked, "Lady, have you found that Ah Mei is interested in which brother?" ”

Shen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Your brothers are very busy, they have nothing to do with Ah Mei, and no one takes the initiative to pursue her. ”

Cui Daoshu frowned, "This is a bit troublesome, my mother urged me to find my sister-in-law's house today, and I was perfunctory." But it's not a long-term solution! Ah Mei is still like an innocent child, she has never thought about the relationship between men and women, and she can't be forced to marry! ”

Shen peeled an orange for Cui Daoshu, gave it to him, and said softly: "I once asked my mother, which brother she values more, guess who she is talking about?" ”
