Chapter 18: Turf
"Shet! Yatan you deceive me! I hope you don't come to me! ”
Isabel. Lan Meili angrily pounced on Ye Tan, but Ye Tan easily dodged her.
"Bone worship!"
Ye Tan waved his hand, as if he didn't take away a cloud, and walked out of the cave in a dashing manner.
At about 6 o'clock the next morning, the two wounded Marines who woke up found that they were half better.
Cape Lobos is about 22 kilometres from Mont San Bruno and takes at least two and a half hours to walk.
Ye Tan bought 6 two-horse carriages, carrying his family and belongings, the wounded, and more than a dozen people who had recently joined, and left together.
An hour and a half later, Ye Tan and the others came to the northern foot of the mountain on the north side of San Bruno.
Receiving the news that Ye Tan was coming, Liu Juliu was quite a general, and brought a group of brothers to greet him.
Waiting for Ye Tan to get off the carriage, Liu Juliu excitedly introduced: "Brother Tan, let me introduce to you, what is this expensive, 28 years old, Xiao Hong, 23 years old, from Xiangshan; This is Yang Kaishan, 23 years old, from Jiangmen; This is Lu Guoxiong, 19 years old, Qin Kai, 21 years old, from Foshan; This is Zhang Changgong, 25 years old, Deng Zhi, 23 years old, from Jianghang; This is Tian Fengzu, 22 years old, a Kaiping person. ”
Ye Tan clenched his fists with both hands, bowed his hands, and said approachablely: "You are all my fellow countrymen, I hope you will work together to make a career in the United States!" ”
"Brother Tan, according to your request, yesterday afternoon, we recruited a total of 1,298 people."
Liu Juliu said with a sense of accomplishment.
"Sixth brother, after the barracks and camps are tidied up, I will give you an assessment plan."
Ye Tan said as he walked.
With his parents and family, as well as Uncle Yu's family, Liu Juliu and them, climbed to the highest point of San Bruno Mountain. More than 10 square kilometers of mountainous land, as well as Silicon Valley and other places in later generations, will belong to their own territory in the future. Ye Tan's heart was surging, and he raised his eyes to look southeast, and the Bay Area and Silicon Valley, which were familiar to future generations, flashed through Ye Tan's mind like a glimpse of light.
There is a reason why Ye Tan chose here. In later generations, Mont San Bruno, cool in summer and warm in winter, was a resort mecca.
"Brother Tan, this is our territory?"
Liu Juliu, who was standing at the top of the mountain, seemed to have a feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance, looking at the undulating mountains of dragons and snakes, and said incoherently excitedly.
More than half a year ago, Liu Juliu would never have imagined it.
"Sixth brother, this is just the beginning. Then you will know that following your brother Tan is the wisest decision in your life! ”
Patting Liu Juliu's shoulder heavily, Ye Tan said in high spirits.
"Brother, my parents have worked hard for half their lives, you have to build a manor to make them live more comfortably."
Ye Qingqing is a filial girl, innocent and consistent, and she will say whatever comes to her mind.
"Sister, what kind of manor do you think is better?"
Ye Tan smiled, and his sister Ye Qingqing said.
"Brother, I heard that the Heavenly King's Mansion is very beautiful, it would be great if my brother could build one here too."
Where did Ye Qingqing understand this, thinking of the legendary Heavenly King's Mansion, he opened his mouth and said.
"Qingqing, you can't talk nonsense."
Mother Ye saw that her daughter said something arrogant, and hurriedly reprimanded.
Ye Tan looked at his sister dotingly, and explained: "Dad, Mom, America is not like the Qing Dynasty, there are not so many taboos here. As long as you have money, even if you build a palace here, no one will say anything about you. This is the right of the individual in a capitalist society. It is rare for Qingqing to have this filial piety, so start from August, I am ready to build a Ye's Villa here, a combination of European and Chinese styles, with small bridges and streams, flower pavilions, an area of more than 150,000 square meters, divided into five phases of the project, completed within three years. ”
Yu Han and his wife were well-informed, and when they saw Ye Tan's ambition to show their ambitions, their hearts were shocked again. Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at his two daughters, stunned.
Back at the foot of the mountain, there is a busy scene in full swing. All are leveling the land. Ye Tan looked at this swarm pattern, and he didn't have to think about it to know that even if everyone was busy until midnight, the house would not be able to stand up.
Seeing Ye Tan, a legendary figure, everyone saluted Ye Tan and shouted in awe: "Ye Ye." ”
"Which of you is the foreman?"
Ye Tan asked loudly.
"Ye Ye, the contemptible person is the foreman knife beam, proficient in carpentry. What did Ye Ye command. ”
A middle-aged man about forty years old with a hideous centipede scar on his left forehead stopped from his busyness, rushed to Ye Tan's face, and said nervously.
"Knife beam? Skilled in carpentry? Hmm, that's good! I remember you! Also, in the future, everyone should not call me Ye Ye, just call me Mr. Ye! You immediately tell someone who knows how to carpenter to cut the wood according to the dimensions, work in an assembly style, and nail the plank frame. Typhoons are frequent in San Francisco, and the pile shaft must not be less than one meter eight deep. When the pile shaft is laid, you can erect columns and beams and pave the ceiling. Let the people who know how to dig piles dig piles and dig drainage canals. Let those who know how to dig wells dig wells. Let the masons build the stove and the well. In addition, let a few people who know how to cook carry water for cooking. Let the loggers who know how to cut wood. Whoever does the best job will be rewarded with a gold eagle. The quota is 50. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Tan suddenly slapped his palm on the door of his head, then pointed to a position in the back mountain, took out a drawing, and said to Liu Juliu: "Oh, that's right! If you have enough manpower, you will immediately send 300 people to build me a courtyard with a construction area of more than 1,000 square meters on the halfway point of the back mountain, and I will use it for research experiments. ”
"Brother Tan, I and Danghong, Liwu, Liangji, Weigui, and Xiao Hong personally brought people over, and here we will be handed over to Xue Lun and their brothers to be responsible."
Liu Juliu said solemnly.
Under Ye Tan's scientific arrangement, coupled with the promised bonus, everyone was like a chicken blood, and they worked hard, and the progress of the project suddenly accelerated by more than 5 times. In particular, the Iron Bull did the coolies of 5 people by himself. In less than an hour and a half, the assembly line mode of division of labor and cooperation achieved remarkable results, and the first 300-square-meter wooden house rose from the ground.
And Mother Ye, with her daughter and Yin Hong, as well as Yu Hongluan, Yu Qingluan, Shangguan Ying and others, are all helping with dinner.
At more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, 16 three-row wooden houses with a total of more than 18,000 square meters stood between the barren mountains and mountains.
There are about 20 dormitories in each wooden house. Each dormitory has more than seventeen or eighteen double-layered single wooden shelves, and a table with dishes and chopsticks at the door.
Ye Tan also built a watchtower at each of the four corners and the gate, and arranged sandbag defense belts to ensure the absolute safety of the dormitory area.
The courtyard on the mountainside, with a "concave" structure, plus the courtyard, has 3,500 square meters and has been built. And at a height of 60 cm above the ground, wooden strips are first laid and then wooden planks are laid to prevent moisture.
At more than 6 o'clock in the evening, after dinner, Ye Tan summoned Liu Juliu and his brothers, as well as Yuan Fei and seven or eight of them.
With the increasing prestige of Ye Tan, his personal awe of Ye Tan has penetrated deep into his bone marrow.
"Now our situation, even if I don't need to say more, everyone understands it in their hearts. It is possible that while we are still on our footing, they will do something tonight. In order to ensure everyone's safety, starting from tonight, Tie Niu, Yuan Fei, Liang Guangchao, He Weigui, Xiao Hong, Qin Kai, Yang Kaishan, Tian Fengzu, 8 of you, with 45 people, are divided into 5 teams, responsible for the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and the patrol work in the middle of the night in front of the gate. The extra 3 people are responsible for supervising the situation of each patrol team. Li Danghong, Dong Liwu, Xue Lun, Fang Jingyuan, Zhang Liangji, Long Yue, Han Liang, Su Yi, Lu Guoxiong, Zhang Changgong, Deng Zhi, Zeng Xiaoying, the same is true for the 12 of you, with 45 people, divided into 5 squads, responsible for the patrol work in the second half of the night in five directions. The extra 2 people are responsible for supervising the patrol team, and their role belongs to checking and filling in the gaps, and special attention should be paid to whether there are any spies mixed in. Liu Juliu is responsible for specific matters. ”
"What about me?"
Shangguan Ying raised her hand and said.
It's not that Ye Tan spits on himself, as a super traverser, although he doesn't know the woman in front of him, Ye Tan still disdains to put a woman in danger.
He shook his head and said solemnly, "Miss Shangguan, it's not that we look down on women. But if you insist on doing so, how will we get along with these big men? Of course, if you do want to help, wait for the brothers to teach them cultural knowledge after their work training. When I have time, I will personally compile the teaching materials so that the brothers can learn more comprehensive knowledge. ”
Regarding Ye Tan's arrangement, Shangguan Ying didn't care whether she was satisfied or not, she just nodded lightly to show her obedience.
"Starting tomorrow, in addition to training security personnel, we will continue to recruit a large number of Chinese to enrich our security team. It would be great if you introduced your fellow countrymen. That's all for today, everyone is tired today, so you can do whatever you have to do. ”
Turning his head, Ye Tan took out a piece of information and handed it to Liu Juliu, "Sixth brother, this is tomorrow's training plan, screening those who are willing to join Aegis security, and you will lead the team to train." ”
After everyone left, Ye Qingqing brought Yu Hongluan and Yu Qingluan over and complained: "Brother, this place is too desolate, and at night, it is the sound of wolves, which is too terrifying." ”
"Brother Tan, I want to learn kung fu and learn to shoot."
The tall and thin Yu Qingluan pulled at his clothes and said shyly.
"Brother, San Francisco is too messy, I have to learn too!"
Ye Qingqing saw Yu Qingluan opening her head, pulled Ye Tan's arm, kept shaking, and begged coquettishly.
Only Yu Hongluan, who was more than 1.6 meters tall, blushed, looked directly at Ye Tan, her smart and talking eyes, full of anticipation.
Ye Tan was cautious again and again, and felt that there was nothing wrong with girls learning martial arts to protect themselves. Especially in San Francisco, the emerging city of sinful chaos.
Turned around and went into the bedroom, took out 6 Browning GP35s, 9mm caliber black pistols, and 18 boxes of Balabylum pistol bullets, and called the two old guys out by the way.
"Tan, although a gun is a murder weapon, in San Francisco, it is better than being unarmed."
Ye Shengde is used to fighting and killing, so he naturally knows the importance of guns, and he can't wait to say.
Since ancient times, men have loved knives and guns. Ye Shengde and Yu Han are no exception.
"This is the GP35 pistol I bought on behalf of someone, and it belongs to the most advanced secret weapon in the United States. Under normal circumstances, it is easy not to let people know, otherwise it will invite death. In addition to one of you, Dad and Uncle Yu also have one hand. Each box has 16 rounds, three boxes per person. If you hit it accurately, within 50 meters, you will be killed with one shot. ”
Ye Tan said with a serious face, handed the gun to their hands, and explained the shooting essentials in detail for a few people.
"Brother, I want to try a gun."
Looking at the delicate pistol, Ye Qingqing couldn't wait to say coquettishly.
In front of others, he is Ye Ye who is high above. In front of Ye Qingqing, he is an elder brother who shelters his sister from the wind and rain. For his sister's request, Ye Tan responded.
Ye Tan was busy for more than 10 minutes, built a sandbag wall in the yard, set up a target, installed a silencer on the pistol, and then came to a shooting demonstration.
Seeing that the eldest brother hit the bull's-eye with one shot, Ye Qingqing also had a competitive heart. took the pistol from Ye Tan's hand, held the gun with a straight arm in his right hand, and held it with his left hand, aiming at the bullseye according to the shooting essentials.
The gunshot rang out, and Ye Qingqing's slender arm was shaken. The bullet hit the edge of the plank outside the 0 ring and almost missed the target.
"Sister, when shooting, your heart should be as calm as water, if you forget to breathe, it will be better. Even if there is lightning and thunder in the ears, it can't interfere. Also, remember the four-three intake method, take 4 deep breaths, and exhale a quarter of the breath on the fourth time, which is the best state for shooting. ”
After everyone tried to shoot a shot, they realized that shooting was not so easy.
They may not know that if it weren't for Ye Tan, who quietly added Lingquan to their meals, their physique was improved, and the first shot would not be like this.
In order to improve everyone's marksmanship, Ye Tan made a few wooden pistols on the spot, and once again used the trick of hanging bricks in later generations for everyone to train.
