After that, Zhang San began to recruit immigrants from Fujian Road, of course, it is still mainly craftsmen, and the food on the island is still enough to eat at present, but if it is a large-scale immigration, it needs to be purchased from other places, and now the coastal areas of Fujian are not very peaceful and do not have the conditions for large-scale immigration.

This morning, Zhang San was planning a new shipyard at a fork in the Tamsui River, which is close to the estuary, the place is large enough, and more importantly, there are two natural long ponds that can be used as Wanshi docks after cleaning, which can save at least a month of digging dock time.

So the new Danshui River shipyard is built here, compared to the small shipyard on Sea Shark Island, the scale here is undoubtedly much larger, even larger than the shipyard in Hangzhou, because it is not only shipbuilding, all shipbuilding-related supporting workshops will be built here.

The first batch of shipyards to be built were brick kilns, charcoal kilns, wood baking workshops, steaming wood workshops, blacksmith workshops, carpenter workshops, and cable workshops...... And so on, in the later period, there are sails, rubber mills, tung oil mills, rudder workshops, anchor chain workshops, and ship nail workshops...... And so on and so forth, some refinement workshops need to be built.

Even if Zhang San brought in a lot of craftsmen from Sea Shark Island, and a group of them from the coast of Fujian, many workshops in the shipyard are still facing a shortage of manpower, which is also a matter of no choice, Zhang San wants to build a large shipyard here, I am afraid that it may not be enough to fill in all the fifty or sixty thousand people in his hands to do related work.

No need to compare anything else, just look at the shipyard in Hangzhou to see it, so Zhang San's goal now is to start shipbuilding here first, establish as complete a workshop system as possible, as long as a ship is built, then you can follow this model to gradually change and improve in the future.

Zhang San was discussing the layout of the dock with Lao Chen, and the soldiers came to report that a sailboat at the mouth of the Tamsui River was about to enter the inland river, claiming to be from Penghu Daijiazhai, Zhang San was stunned for a moment, and looked at the direction of the estuary a little speechlessly.

Zhang San also heard from the Zhang family and the Du family, saying that it was a group of fierce pirates who would come over every season to collect a batch of grain and leather.

This so-called Penghu Daijiazhai is only more than a thousand dings, seven or eight hundred pirates, such a scale Zhang San completely ignores, if it weren't for the fact that there are too many prisoners and a little indigestion now, Zhang San doesn't mind exterminating them.

Originally, Zhang San planned to wait for the second batch of sea ships to be completed on Sea Shark Island, and there were enough ships to block the Ryukyu Strait, and then to carry out a thorough clearance of the pirates in the strait and complete the full control of the Ryukyus.

It's just that now there is still more than half a month before the second batch of ships are built, and with the time to familiarize themselves with the ships, it is estimated that it will take at least a month and a half to attack these pirates, but the arrival of the people from Daijiazhai had to make Zhang San change his plan.

Zhang San took a warship to the mouth of the river, and sure enough, he saw a sand boat of several hundred stones parked at the mouth of the river, and on the opposite side of the sand boat was Zhang San's Donghai type warship was swimming, and the two boats obviously went through a battle, because there was a large burning hole in the sail lowered by the sand boat. The deck was also a mess.

Zhang San's boat came over, Li Jun leaned up and briefly said what happened, it turned out that Li Jun was patrolling near the mouth of the Tamsui River, and happened to see this sand boat, and asked him to stop the boat for questioning, but he didn't expect that the opposite side not only did not stop the boat but also tried to come up and snatch their boat.

The next thing is simple, a pirate ship of several hundred stones went to grab a warship of two thousand stones, or when the warship was prepared, so Li Jun used two fire oil bombs, and a few stone bombs hit the opposite ship crying dad and mother, when the sail was ignited by Li Jun, the opposite side had to lower the sail and surrender.

After Li Jun asked the other side clearly, he went to send someone to call Zhang San, Zhang San looked at the ship on the opposite side and didn't bother to go up to Li Jun and asked, "Brother Li Jun, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

Li Jun thought about it and said: "There's nothing to say, how can you let him be allowed to grab our heads, if the third brother can trust my brother, give me a boat, and I will take this Penghu Island for you within three days." ”

Zhang San smiled and said: "Now is the time to employ people, the ship is really unable to be transferred, but don't worry, we will definitely take him down in two months, you go and bring them to this ship, let's talk about it." ”

After a while, a gorgeously dressed young man was brought over, this is the young master of Daijiazhai, he is the one who proposed to rob the ship, he is a master who knows the goods, and he robs good things when he sees them, which is also in line with his pirate behavior, but this time he did kick the iron plate.

Zhang San was not interested in listening to his twists and turns behind the story, and when he saw this young village master, he bluntly said that there was already a brotherhood building a village here, and the Dai family was not allowed to appear in the waters here in the future, and it would be sunk next time.

Dai Shaozhai master is not a pure stupid lack and the second generation, the pirate den grows in nature knows the powerful relationship, just these two ships are not his own Dai Jiazhai can deal with, he grabbed the ship at the beginning purely because he didn't know that this was a warship, thinking it was just a beautiful new ship, just grab it.

I didn't expect that the ship couldn't catch up with me, and I couldn't beat it, so I chased it for a long time, and a few eggs flew on the boat, and I knelt down, and this kind of play can only be seen by the official army fighting pirates.

After confirming that he couldn't beat him, it was naturally important to save his life, and he also said that he would do what Zhang San requested, and returned to his ship in a gloomy manner, and casually found something to mend the sails and began to flee towards the open sea.

This generation of family is not a giant pirate across the sea, nor is it a fierce and powerful overlord, maybe the pirates who can occupy Penghu in later generations must be a great force, but in the era of the Great Song Dynasty, when the sea ships still sailed along the coastline, Penghu was only the periphery of the waterway.

To put it simply, this generation of families is the master of getting a little scraps of cold rice, otherwise they would not have been mixed with the grain and leather on the island, and it is much more than hard work to get a sea boat from these villages.

After more than three months of hard work, the first batch of rice planted in the paddy fields began to tassel, the planted sugar cane will not be harvested until next year, the mulberry trees have just begun to grow, and the silkworm breeding will have to wait until next year, the hemp has already begun to harvest and soak, and other seedlings such as tung oil trees have just been transplanted.

The time has entered October, after the harvest of this batch of rice, the Ryukyus will enter a short winter, and new planting can start in January and February, and the rice fields have been prepared after several months of reclamation, but most of them have not had time to plant crops because of the late preparation.

Therefore, after the harvest is put into storage, Zhang San still has to buy a batch of grain from outside, but in the past few months, in order to build Tamsui City, Zhang San has invested a lot of manpower and material resources, so that it is a little difficult to come up with funds to buy grain now, so Zhang San has to open up more financial resources.
