It's a pity that the speed of the Ming warships can't keep up with the warships built by the Huang family, and they can't compare with the No. 2 Fu ship that has been transformed, so all the sailors of the Ming army are enriched to work on the Huang family's merchant ships and warships.

The Huang family has now built a port in Lingaojiao Bopu Port, and also built a large dock, although it is not a natural deep-water port, but it is only compared to the giant ships of 10,000 tons in later generations.

At present, the Huang family does not have more than 1,600 tons of battleships, and there is no problem with a 3,000-ton sea ship docked here, so the conditions can be completely met in a short time.

Bopu Port is located in the Beibu Gulf of Hainan, not far from the estuary of the Wenlan River, where the beach is gentle, the water is clear and the sand is white, the strange rocks are craggy everywhere, the scenery is beautiful, and it is the traditional offshore fishing ground of fishermen.

The Wenlan River originates from Ma'anling in Danzhou, runs through the whole territory from south to north, with a total length of nearly 200 miles, abundant water, and the first large reservoir built by the Huang family is upstream, and has now been put into use. In the future, large tracts of land can be guaranteed in drought and flood.

Due to the large drop of the Wenlan River and the abundant water, the Huang family built many hydraulic machinery, including as many as 200 crushers used to crush stones, and saved a lot of manpower and animal power with hydraulic drive.

The crushed stone is milled into powder, fired into block cement and then milled into cement products, the Huang family used a stone mill to grind the surface when producing the first batch of cement, and a donkey can only complete the production of 100 catties of cement a day.

Now the output of Huangjia Iron and Steel has doubled, and the steel mill is driven by water power, the efficiency has been greatly improved, and the impurities in the cement have been greatly reduced.

After several years of development, refractory brick technology has also progressed, and different products can be provided according to different needs, and the commonly used refractory bricks fired with kaolin containing alumina and silicon oxide can fully meet the general requirements.

It is too easy for the Huang family to obtain the temperature within 1,500 degrees of Portland cement and refractory bricks, and after five or six years of technological innovation, the quality of cement is changing with each passing day, which can be comparable to ordinary cement in later generations.

With hydraulic machinery to provide a large number of raw materials, coupled with the vertical kiln method to produce cement technology is becoming more and more mature, Lingao here such as clay, limestone, gypsum in the local storage of a large number of deposits, so Lingao's cement output is already the first in the Huang family, of course, also the world's first.

The thermal efficiency of the traditional brick kiln in the Ming Dynasty is too low, and Huang Sheng has seen an ancient thermal equipment wheel kiln for the production of bricks and tiles in later generations. It has the advantages of continuous production, high output, various fuels, low construction cost and high thermal efficiency.

Since the 16-chamber wheel kiln was put into operation in the Huang family system on a large scale, the cost of producing bricks and tiles was reduced by half compared with that of the Ming Dynasty, and the output was as high as four or five times that of the same amount of labor.

Now the master and technician are studying the use of hydraulic machinery to make brick embryos, it is said that they have entered the experimental stage, if successful, the most labor-intensive brick embryo making links will save too much manpower.

Ge Chengjie has built a five-zhang high lighthouse in Lingaojiao, which has become a local landmark building, and the structure is of course made of bricks, stones, steel bars, and cement, which is guaranteed to last for more than a century.

There are three more buildings like this, one forty miles apart, which not only become the navigation beacon of the Huang family's boats, but also benefit too many fishing boats, and will be built around Hainan Island in the future.

The Bopu dock has been put into production, and the technical personnel are mainly from Huangjiawan Island and "Huaxia Island", and they have also recruited many family craftsmen who use the soil method to build fishing boats.

The Huang family has been operating in Lingao for three years, and tens of thousands of people have migrated here, and they have achieved a unified language, script, and weights and measures in their own system. The people of the Huang family all speak the official dialect of the Huang family, which is the Mandarin of later generations.

Ge Chengjie and the staff of the Intelligence Department figured out the dialects of various parts of Hainan Island, and recruited people who could understand and speak each language.

As long as there is money and food, any kind of talent can be obtained in Daming, and those Li settlements with obscure language also need commodity circulation, although most of them are bartered, and there are also business opportunities in them.

The Han people are so shrewd that they can be said to have hollowed out their minds in order to make a living.

The small traders who walked through the villages carried heavy goods on their backs, endured endless exploitation, risked being killed by bandits and bandits, and went deep into the mountains and dense forests in the hope of getting enough food and clothing.

As a result, there are many small traders who know the language of several villages, and they also know who in the village can understand the Chinese dialects of different parts of Hainan.

Ge Chengjie did it seriously, and hired hundreds of local Han people who spoke several dialects to work at Lingao with a monthly salary of one tael of silver and four buckets of rice, learning languages and Chinese characters every day.

Such a monthly income is not worth mentioning in the Huang family, but in the barren Hainan Island, it is a coveted high income, and there is no danger at all, and too many locals with language talents have come to accept the selection.

The Huang family provided pencil books for free, and all civil officials and village warriors participated in teaching, and these people who were willing to learn a variety of dialects already knew how to have a lot of skills without pressing, and they were able to have a teaching to guide them to systematically learn a kind of official dialect, of course, they spared no effort, and studied hard one by one.

Not only that, all the Hainan locals hired received free education, and it was fashionable for the natives in Lingao to speak the official dialect of the Huang family, unless they were old or young.

After more than a year of outstanding educational achievements, the Huang family's official dialect has spread rapidly, and communication is no longer an obstacle to the complete seizure of Hainan Island in the future.

The Ming army in Guangdong was really vulnerable, and Guo Huaiyi's pirate group became more and more fierce, and his people immediately went ashore, waving the banners "King Guo", "Acting for Heaven", "Committing No Crime in Autumn", and "Guo Jiajun only robbed the government and did not kill the people, and did not pay for food".

He also made up a nursery rhyme that was widely sung: "Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine syrup, open the city gate to welcome King Guo, King Guo Dawang came and did not pay food." Eat his mother, her mother, and don't eat enough to have King Guo. If you don't pay for it, you don't pay for food, and the villagers have a happy life. ”

Of course, this is the method that Huang Sheng taught Huang Dongshan, and Li Duyan used this lie to deceive many poor people to be cannon fodder for him.

If you don't pay for food, what do Li one-eyed people and horses eat? They don't have Huang Sheng's vast commercial network and industrial system to feed back agriculture.

Li One-eyed's bandits only destroyed but did not produce, and it was obviously difficult to sustain themselves by robbing large households and robbing the imperial court alone. The court at the end of the Ming Dynasty was also so poor that it clanged! The big landlords, rich peasants, and yeoman farmers went bankrupt one after another, and in the end, the landlords' families had no surplus grain!

Huang Sheng spread this panic rumor ten years earlier, and he was very curious about how Li One-eyed's bandits would deal with it in the future? How can they deceive the common people?

In fact, Huang Sheng has been able to do such propaganda for three and five years without paying food. So it's really not a lie, it's just time-sensitive. Of course, it is not possible to never pay food, and how can a state apparatus be born without taxes?

Due to the propaganda in place, the common people were arrested by Guo's pirate group indifferently, and more than a dozen county towns were breached along the coast of Guangzhou, and 50,000 or 60,000 people were coerced.

The description of breaking through the county seat is not accurate, it should be a surrender from the wind, the county lord here has no soldiers in his hands, Huang Dongshan arranged to surrender the people and soldiers with high force value to take the lead in entering the city to publicize that King Guo's army will not kill the people, because the leader Guo Huai has great ambitions and is ready to tear the earth and seal the king.

The county magistrate and the officials fled one by one, and the individual magistrates who were ready to swear to live and die with the city did not get a chance at all, and often they were tied up by the hidden warriors and the common people who rushed up as soon as they appeared.

The Huang family also used the method of Jiannu to seize the Daming city, and used spy warfare to behead the city, no, it was not to kill the leader of the Daming city, but to capture it.

Guo Huaiyi's pirates did not kill people and set fires after entering the city, nor did they rob the small people of Shengdou, nor did they harass the female dependents when robbing large households, and gradually the reputation of the chivalrous pirate Guo Huaiyi spread out, and there were even fewer soldiers and civilians who were willing to resist when attacking the city.

Therefore, it is often heard that after the enemy breaks the city, many women choose to avoid humiliation and commit suicide, and the killing caused by the looting of Guangdong is very small.
