Sun Jingting heard this, looked at Han Lao Liu and said, "If Lao Liu is sincere, the iron workshop here really needs manpower." Of course, this side is not as important as Lingqiu and Zunhua...... This side is mainly for the iron parts on the sailing ship, unlike in Lingqiu, grassland, and Zunhua, where the iron production is important. ”

Han Lao Liu grinned and said: "Whether it is important or not, the needs of the military department are important, I think there are more shipbuilders to build here, and of course there are many iron tools needed, all waiting for the finished products on Li Zhuang's side is too time-consuming, and the big ships are transporting fine iron, and we are using them while building them here, isn't it beautiful?" ”

Everyone laughed, and people on the Taiwan side also looked at Han Lao Liu...... Of course, there are many acquaintances among them, the military secretary has been transferring people to Taiwan, there are Datong and Liaodong, but there are not many people who don't know Han Laoliu, this is also a special chess piece when Hutchison was developed in the early years, not him, I am afraid that Zhang Han has no way to easily fight over the famous governor Han Qi at that time......

This is all in the past, but it has not lost its luster with the passage of time, on the contrary, under the deliberate promotion of Zhang Yongan and Wu Bohe and others, there are many means to publicize it, such as scripts, operas, shadow puppets, etc., among which Zhang Han has become a legend, and even with Han Lao Liu and other little ghosts, he has also become an immortal, and he has become a legend.

At this moment, everyone looked at Han Lao Liu and smiled, Han Lao Liu did not have the consciousness of a legend, he still looked at the surrounding scenery in a daze, and it was not surprising that people from Lingqiu were fascinated by the sea scenery here.

Sun Jingting said with a smile: "Since you are serious, there is also a shortage of people here, I will be in charge of this matter, you will stay with Song Suozheng this time." ”

Han Lao Liu thanked him, Chang Wei was the happier one, he and Han Lao Liu were also old acquaintances, and said with a smile: "If we win this battle, Lao Liu, you will have to work hard in the past two years, we have silver and I don't know how many more ships to build, you have to go to the top, don't shout and be tired when the time comes!" ”

"Let's do things, young master Chang can rest assured." Han Lao Liu patted his chest and said: "I used to love to gamble and drink two cups, since I followed Lord Zhang, we are now a big family, for the sake of future generations, our Hutchison matter is done, the grassland in the north is ours, and the sea here is also ours, I will definitely not hope for the princess in the future, Lord Zhang will give me a brocade guard hereditary thousand households, I am here to guard the sea for Lord Zhang, and it has been the case for generations." ”

Everyone laughed when they said this, Han Lao Liu is a bureau-level official, Zhang Han will be called the king and emperor in the future, and it is estimated that the real prince and uncle will not be able to seal him, but a fourth-grade hereditary guard commander really has hope, not wishful thinking.

For a while, many people were thinking about themselves...... Sun Jingting didn't think that no matter what title Zhang Han felt, he must be first-class, even if he was crowned a king with a different surname, he must have one, so Sun Jingting thought very little about this, and Chang Wei too, anyway, he is not a prince or a marquis, so he doesn't worry about it.

However, Li Shouxin and the others had some gains and losses on their faces, and they got better in an instant...... It's still very early, Zhang Han didn't even want to rebuild the old middle school, which obviously showed his attitude, at least a few years without having to think about too many things to be self-reliant, this kind of thing is not enough to have strength, but also to come to fruition, when it will come to fruition, this is something that no one knows.

At least from the current point of view, Zhang Han still has to look forward to ...... People in the world now know a lot of Hutchison, even Guangdong knows that there is a big businessman Zhang Han in the north, who is rich enough to rival the country, but this image is the same feeling as Shen Wansan at the beginning of the country, I have never heard of a businessman who can stand on his own, what if Shen Wansan is rich enough to rival the country, Emperor Taizu Gao said that this person went bankrupt and broke his family.

So it's still very early in terms of image alone, not to mention anything else.

The roads on Taiwan's side are also very well built...... This is also a tradition of Hutchison, no matter what, the road is repaired first, just like playing chess, and building a road is to connect the dots and the surface...... At this point, whether it is the grassland, Kuandian, or Taiwan, they all do it according to Zhang Han's idea, and the effect is actually excellent.

More than 100 riders galloped on the repaired road, with rice fields, sugarcane fields on both sides, corn or sorghum fields in some corners, green mountains and green waters everywhere, and the sea and sky on one side, the scenery was excellent, and people's emotions gradually became flying and relaxed.

In any case, the general trend on Taiwan's side has become a success!

Along the way, we passed several tunpu, and then encountered a river that meandered down, down the mountain, and went straight into the sea.

Li Shouxin stepped forward and said to Sun Jingting: "Lord Sun, this river is called Huaxi, and the Fujian people here call it very strangely, it is obviously a river, but it is called a stream." ”

Zhang Xuwen said with a smile: "It's not strange, several streams come down from the mountains, and the water along the way eventually becomes rivers, in fact, when these rivers gurgle down from the mountains, they are just streams." ”

There are many streams that do enter the sea in this area, and the establishment of Beigang is to have Beigang Creek, a freshwater river, which can establish a port and operate a village, Yan Siqi picked a good place......

"We went down the river from Huaxi." Chang Wei pointed at the stream with a horsewhip and said: "The bottom is the real big article, and it is also the basis for us to dare to go to war this time." ”

"Jiang Kui is nowhere to be seen." Sun Jingting asked with a smile: "It must be related to what you said, right?" ”

"Exactly." Chang Wei said: "This place is very important, so it seems that no one is calm around, but in fact, there have always been cavalry patrolling back and forth, and it is forbidden for idle people to approach." In addition, there are several tun forts and military forts on the periphery to prevent the destruction of the natives...... Jiang Kui is in charge of these things, Jiang Kui is the commander of the 11th Regiment, the 11th Regiment is just a shelf now, the soldiers and horses are not complete, Jiang Kui has fewer things than before, so he is here full-time. ”

Jiang Kui was the leader of the guards when he first arrived in Taiwan, and he was also the head of the guards by Zhang Han's side, and he was also Zhang Han's personal guard when he was in Xinpingbao, and he was very old and diligent and careful in his work, so he was very trusted by the high-level, but he never really led the troops to fight, and only fought a few bandit battles and small-scale encounters, so Li Shouxin's fourth regiment has been strengthened, and Jiang Kui's eleventh regiment is still just a shelf regiment, and I don't know when it will have to be made up.

The stream in front was very gentle, the water and grass on both sides were dense, and it was very lush, and not far in front began to appear a large number of barracks, and there were a large number of slipways, many of which had already set up keels, were laying decks and making hulls, Sun Jingting was shocked when he saw it......

Originally, I thought that the shipyard that had just landed in Bengang was already all that of Taiwan, but I didn't expect that there were still a large number of shipyards here, which was really strange.

"Brother Xiaozheng must wonder why the shipyard is divided into two places, and this one is so sneaky?" Chang Wei said with a smile: "This is the place where the schooner is built, and it is the confidence that we dare to take the initiative to fight with the Dutch this time, all the mysteries are close at hand, please Brother Xiaozheng move forward, and you will know the bottom at a glance." ”

The front is really a piece of mast, at least more than ten ships have been built and launched, but far away, Sun Jingting can not see clearly, and he is not an expert in this area, many ships have only seen the atlas and text description, at first glance the real thing is not easy to identify, now Sun Jingting can recognize at a glance is the ordinary Fu ship merchant ship and Galen ship battleship, because these two ships have a high degree of recognition, you can know at a glance. The so-called schooners have changed in the form of hull and sail rope, and it is normal for Sun Jingting not to see it.

I can't see it, but it doesn't mean I don't know, Sun Jingting said: "If the schooner fleet can be formed, it is also good news, this ship I know, although there are fewer artillery, but the victory is faster, whether it is to seize the upper hand or pursue the enemy's merchant ships are a good hand, very good, let's go and see together." ”

Everyone walked downstream along the stream, and soon a team of cavalry came up, seeing that Chang Wei brought people to come and still asked for the password, and only after getting a clear answer did they let go, Sun Jingting and others did not care, this is the normal state of Hutchison.

To the shipyard area has been surrounded by a wooden fence, occasionally the hunters or fishermen who have missed the net can not enter here, the same is to ask the password after opening the door to release, as soon as you enter the shipyard inside is a smell of wood, everywhere is a mountain of big wood.

"These are all fine oaks." Gan Hui pointed to the wood, and said with emotion: "The difficulty of logging in Liaomin is unimaginable, it is really to help me Taiwan with blood and sweat, although the family does not speak two words, but what should be said still has to be said." ”

Gan Hui said that he and the others were bald when they were about to leave Phi Dao, and everyone in the Taiwan Marching Division was moved, and Chang Wei said: "We must remember this situation, in the future, there will be needs in Kuandian, and of course my Taiwan side will not say a second word." ”

"It's for the best." Sun Jingting was quite appreciative and said with great relief: "The overall situation is grasped by Lord Zhang and the military department, but your marching military departments must first have this kind of mind to help each other. ”

Everyone nodded. So they went all the way in, and the horses were tied directly to the tethered stones outside.

The workshop was full of piles of wood, all of which were large logs hugged by several people, and the place was so narrow that it was impossible to walk on horseback. The ground is full of sawdust flowers, the wood fragrance is very obvious, most of these wood were sent last year, if it is naturally dried for at least three or four years before it is used, but it can be used for more than half a year to dry. The water in the wood has been dried and dehydrated, so that the boat can withstand the sea bubbles, of course, it still needs to be maintained after each long-distance voyage, and there is a lot of knowledge here...... Chang Wei walked and slowly explained to Sun Jingting.

In the blink of an eye, I arrived at the slipway area, where there are all semi-finished ships, sure enough, they are mainly schooners, Sun Jingting looked at these semi-finished ships very attentively, each ship is about forty meters long, all of them are big ships that are not in the Chinese ship, the Fu boat is more than ten steps long, and there are five or six steps of small boats, and the so-called Chinese military ship of the Fujian Navy Division is only less than 30 steps long, which is already a rare big ship. As for the small sentinel ships and the ordinary fishing boats, the slightly larger merchant ships, in front of these schooners, they were like children standing beside strong men, the difference was too far.
