() Chapter 921: Part of the Autumn Harvest Has Begin

Many cannibals were captured one by one, and twenty-seven others were killed, leaving fifty-four prisoners.

In fact, it was 19 people who were really killed directly, and 8 people were seriously injured.

The medical staff on the team looked at the injuries and came to the conclusion that there was a chance that five could be treated, and three of them could not recover.

However, these five people have the opportunity to be treated, which does not mean that they must be treated, and the reason is that it is not worth it. If you change to Datang, you will go all out.

The seriously wounded who did not die were shot and thrown into the sea, and among the remaining fifty-four people were slightly injured, at first they were still screaming, saying that it hurts, saying that it is going to be done, and when they found that the eight seriously injured people had turned directly into corpses, they stopped all shouting, fear, afraid that they would be dealt with in the same way.

The battle ended quickly, and the one-sided situation ended. There were two people injured on Datang's side, one was nervous when he fired, the butt of the gun lost its position in the process of vibration, and his chin was bruised, and he could see a swollen piece, and the other was when he boarded the surrendered enemy ship, his hand accidentally paddled between the rope and the side of the ship when he grabbed the rope and climbed, and his three fingers were swollen.

These two injured people will be punished after they go back, don't look at your discomfort when you are injured, then you will also be punished, your injuries reflect your low combat quality, and your basic skills are not solid enough. If you are sent out to the rescue, a small mistake can put the hostages in danger.

The two injured people really showed worried expressions, sat next to each other, looked at each other, and did not say a word of sympathy for each other, and there was no one else to comfort them, and it was not a big deal to be punished.

The fishermen who rushed over were very satisfied with the course and result of the battle, but they were not satisfied with the number of cannibals, only more than fifty people, too few, five thousand people would be fine, the Fuzhou shipyard should be expanded, and there was no manpower to level the small hills and potholes behind.

"What about people? All of this? Chen Xihong grabbed a cannibal who was tied up and bowed his head to change boats and asked.

Fortunately, this person could understand the Tang dialect and replied: "It's a dead road, storm." ”

"Loser." Chen Xihong scolded, began to look at the two captured boats, looked east and west, and shook his head: "I don't need it, go back and change it, put it on the water next to the pier, and use it as a floating restaurant, the two boats are next to each other, and the board is laid on it, and it is used as a catamaran, and the dining place can be a little bit." ”

Chen Xihong's mind was lively, and he immediately found a good place for other people's boats, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his method was good.

After discussing with other fishermen, everyone agreed to get their hands on it, let their families help cook on the boat, and also increase their income, and provide some of the fish they caught to the restaurant, which not only has multiple sales, but also saves the restaurant the intermediate price increase cost of buying other people's fish.

For the current group of fishermen, Chen Xihong is the most knowledgeable of them and is willing to listen to him.

Chen Xihong negotiated with No. 576 again, wanting to buy a ship and not take advantage of the escorts.

Five-seven-six had originally planned to give the boat directly to them, the wood on the boat was not bad, and it was easy for them to dismantle it and rebuild the small fishing boat themselves.

Now I heard Chen Xihong say that he wanted to buy it, and it was still a negotiation, and the attitude of No. 576 changed.

"Are you sure you want to buy, not to want?" Five-seven-six asked for the last time.

Chen Xihong nodded, and suddenly felt that the words of today's 576th seemed to have been encountered, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Five hundred times, bring the money, and give it to you." Five, seven, six, give a price.

"Rob? Build a new one, two hundred is enough, but also include the mast and sails, you see that one, the mast is gone, if it is not dealt with in time, the ship is gone, the sail on the other ship is also broken, we have to cut the mast back, the wood is good, it is more than enough to make the girder of two rooms.

Now it's a second-hand ship, and we'll have to get it back, a hundred and twelve at most...... Ah, Guan, a hundred, yes, I want you to take it back and play with it yourself. ”

Chen Xihong almost opened one hundred and twenty times, thanks to the quick response.

"One hundred times for you, but when we go to your floating restaurant to eat in the future, you must give us a 20% discount, and it always has been." Five, seven, six counteroffers, with conditions attached.

"No, it's expensive, you have been coming to eat, taking advantage of it, fifty times, I will give you a nine-and-a-half discount in the future, but you can't order expensive dishes." Chen Xihong was preoccupied with the issue of price.

Five, Seven, and Six shook his head and said with a smile: "When it comes to doing business, you are too far behind, not to mention that you are better than Xiaobao Xiaogongzi, Xiaobei They are also better than you, and they will agree immediately if they are replaced by Xiaobei." ”

"Why?" Chen Xihong couldn't figure it out.

"Because of the 20% discount, you also have profits, we go to your place to eat, we have a lot of people, you will naturally earn more when you go, and at the same time it is for publicity, others see that the soldiers stationed in Fuzhou come to your restaurant to eat, and think that the food in your restaurant is good. You still bargain the price, and then say that I will sell the boat to others, one hundred and fifty yuan, we will go to dinner with a 20% discount, I believe there are many people rushing to buy it. ”

Five-seven-six was a little disappointed, although the fishermen on the opposite side were smarter than other fishermen, but their intelligence was limited, and their consideration of the problem was not comprehensive enough.

Chen Xihong slapped his thigh vigorously: "Oh, I think about it, no wonder I am familiar with it, the newspaper reported that between adults and children, if the child asks for it, he will give it if he can, and if he can't explain the reason, if the child negotiates, even if it is a penny, he must accompany the child to talk."

Let the children understand that family affection is affection, and agreement is agreement, just like when Xiaobei negotiated with Xiaobaojuan. I learned it again, and I did the same for my children when I went back, and I trained them, but there was a problem. ”

Five, seven, six looked at Chen Xihong and motioned for him to continue.

"The problem is that we can't come up with a hundred yuan of cash, we are building a new house, and now we are better, unlike before, when the money saved by generations could be used to build a house for the children who were going to get married.

It is easy for us to make money, we have to tear down all the small houses in the past, build a two-story small building, and add a big yard, grow vegetables in the front yard, raise pigs in the back yard, and use the aquatic plants washed up by the sea to feed the pigs. The money was taken out to invite people and buy materials, which was not enough to buy a boat, and there were also expenses for opening a restaurant in the future. ”

Chen Xihong showed a look of embarrassment, however, there was a faint happiness between his eyebrows, and it seemed that he was looking forward to the new house.

"Congratulations." Five, seven, six, clenched his fists and bowed his hands, and followed with joy.

Chen Xihong smiled shyly: "Hehehe, thank you, I want to say thank you, Xiaobao and Juan Juan's immortal tablet will never be removed, who is good and who is bad, we know it in our hearts, other officials have money in their families, we will suspect that Xiaobao and Juan Juan are rich, we think it is normal, we don't care about the rules that officials can't do business." ”

"Thank you." Five, Seven, and Six also thanked him, and the people praised his master's family, and then gave an idea: "You can tow the two boats back, and then go to the money village to use the two boats for a loan, your family runs the restaurant by a woman and an old man, right?" In their name, the bank will give a very low interest rate on the loan.

If you have people in your family who are not very healthy, the interest rate on the loan will be even lower than the interest on your deposit, and there is also the government's tax reduction and exemption policy. ”

"Two ships can borrow a hundred yuan from the bank?" Chen Xihong doesn't believe it, Qian Zhuang usually estimates the price of things very low.

"Can't be the latest chapter." No. 576 shook his head: "But you can lend 100 yuan to the restaurants of two ships, you use the restaurant to take out a loan, it belongs to the project, and the loan with the ship is a physical collateral, according to the risk ratio of the return on investment, the risk of the former is less than that of the latter, and the money bank will evaluate it." ”

"I have seen it for a long time, people often say that the people of the Zhang and Wang families are very powerful when they take out one of them, and today I agree with this statement, if you use all this mind to deceive people, your two families will definitely be invincible." Chen Xihong said gratefully.

Five, seven, six, still smiled, and said: "The highest level of deception is not how to deceive, nor who to deceive, but everywhere you go, there is no deception, my little lady said from a very young age, there are no liars in this world, they are all good people, hehe." ”

"Ugh! Hahaha, I've heard, I've heard, it is said that Juan Juan was still laughing at that time, and a maid said that there was a liar on the other side of the bridge, but Juan Juan said how could it be, good people, all good people, go, bring Xiaobao here, hahaha, I can't help but laugh when I think about it, I did as you say, no danger, right? Will the money bank think that we are not real? ”

Chen Xihong laughed happily for a while, then turned the topic back and became serious.

No. 576 said firmly: "Go, go, go, this is not a lie, because deception cannot be invincible, the real invincible is benevolence, the court has a policy of support, benevolence is what the people want." ”

Chen Xihong happily continued to discuss with the others, and then decided to send someone to watch the local area, and the other fishing boats would bring the prisoners back, and wait until the seaside hired a big boat to help pull the two boats back, if they dragged it themselves, it was too slow, and everyone agreed.

Chen Xihong told No. 576 about the things that had been discussed, and No. 576 proposed to use four new ships to help tow the ship back directly, without charge, just to see how the power system of the new ship was.

The fishermen were happy when they heard this, not that they were happy to save money, but that they could look at the boats that had been flying on the water before.

Li Qing, the county lord of Tongbei, introduced to the fishermen like a tour guide: "I don't know how many new ships the Ministry of Industry has built, I only know how many new ships have been sent to Fuzhou, four to Quanzhou, and maybe more in Luzhou, but people don't tell me that my county lord's power is not enough to inquire."

What I can learn is that there are small diesel engines behind the four boats, the workmanship is more detailed, and the failure rate is higher, especially the propellers placed below, which are calculated by Xiaobao and Juan Juan with great effort, yes, it is calculation, and the importance of knowledge lies in this.

Then the Ministry of Industry sent skilled craftsmen to grind a little bit on the lathe, almost had to do it again, not to say no, it was required by Xiaobao and Juan Juan, involving noise, thrust, etc., unqualified products are quite good for use on other ships, but they do not meet their requirements. ”

"County Lord Qing'er, we know that it is said that Xiaobao and Juan Juan want to build our own Datang Heavy Industry, and the requirements for craftsmen are very high.

At the end of the simplest course, you need to use a small hand file and an iron rod to make a multi-functional and beautiful hammer, because with this hammer you can make something better with the hand file, and then continue to do it together.

What we want to know now is, when will we be able to use this ship, hurry, as soon as this ship comes out, other ships will climb the same way, can the same thing be used on the big ship? ”

A fisherman had the courage to say what was in his heart to the county lord Li Qing, his hand was pinching his leg vigorously, nervous, he had spoken to the beautiful county lord for the first time in his life, and he had never dared to think of it before, he thought that he was very useless.

The county lord Li Qing noticed the other party's nervousness, and felt a little lost in her heart, she thought that she was not good enough, if it was replaced by Xiaobao and Juan Juan here, I believe that the fishermen would not be so nervous, but in fact, the status of others is much higher than herself.

Considering the question asked by the other party, Li Qing felt that saying it was not revealing a secret, so he replied: "Some ships in Luzhou are already in use, and they need something called diesel, which has been used in the military, if you want to use it, I guess it will take five years, five years later, more advanced technology will be researched and begun to be put into the military aspect, and civilian people will be able to lift the blockade." ”

"Are you afraid that we will buy it and leak the technology?" The man asked again.

"No, you can't imitate it at all, you can use it, you can take it apart and look at it, you have to spend money if you don't go back to the fashion, you can't let you use it now is not enough diesel, are you willing to spend 5,000 yuan to drive the same boat back and forth now? Unless you are a rich man, for fun, fishing, what fish do you have to catch to earn back the capital. ”

Xu Qing said that she actually didn't know the price of diesel, what she knew was that the production was not high, and it was used in military research.

When the fishermen heard this, they were deflated, and it was better to have money to buy a big ship with a steam engine in the future.

The cannibals who had come from afar were caught, and the news quickly made it to the newspapers. Many people complained about the storm, and there were not many cannibals who drowned a large number, otherwise there would have been more slaves to do things.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan knew the news earlier, when the fishermen had just discovered that there were many cannibals, the telegram was sent back, and other telegraph offices received the signal and sent it to the west at the same time.

"Everything is safe, now you just need to enter India from this side, and then pass through quickly, and attack the cannibals." Zhang Xiaobao put down the information and said to Wang Juan, who was walking next to him.

Wang Juan also had a copy of the content in her hand, and she was happy to know that the last thing to worry about had been resolved.

As for the situation of many cannibals encountering storms, she didn't care at all, she was glad that many cannibals survived and went to the near sea, otherwise they would all die, and their own side would always be afraid and waste a lot of manpower and material resources to patrol.

By this time their procession had passed through the Mongol tribe settlement, and the Mongol tribesmen did not show the slightest hostility, but prepared the sheep and placed them on the side of the 'road' where the procession was traveling, as well as practical leather, some cut into pieces, some cut into strips as straps.

There is even a person who can speak simple Tang dialect and wants to exchange things with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, especially salt.

Zhang Xiaobao thought about it, and did not exchange salt with the locals, but introduced the person surnamed Fu who came with him who was ready to be used as a translator, and let them trade with each other.

The team just exchanged some silk with the people surnamed Meng, as well as a little seed of crops, and told them to plant it well, and it would be worth a lot when there were more in the future.

The translator with the surname Ji was very complacent and told the people with the surname Meng that they had endless salt there, the price was cheap, and if you wanted to exchange, you could bring something over, and at the same time told the other party that you should not want to use force to rob it, because there are Tang people stationed in the local area, and the weapons are very powerful.

The person surnamed Meng couldn't believe it at first, and then got Zhang Xiaobao's confirmation, he seemed very happy, the simple Tang language person hadn't seen the real thing, let alone started the exchange, so he couldn't help but bargain with the person surnamed Meng, he pointed to a sheep, and said: "One for one skin bag salt." ”

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the sheep, the gross weight was estimated to be more than forty catties, which was not small. If the skin bag is filled with water, it is estimated that it can hold about ten catties, but the salt sinks, and it can have about twenty catties.

The man with the surname shook his head and smiled.

And the man with the surname said, "These." "He weighed half the place.

The man with the surname still smiled and shook his head.

The surnamed Meng thought about it, and lowered his hand again, about one-tenth of the water bladder, and looked at the person with the surname Meng.

This is still because he took into account what the other party said just now that there is a lot of salt, otherwise he would be willing to bring another sheep over, or so much salt.

The man with the surname picked up the half of the sheepskin next to him and said to the person surnamed Meng, "These sheepskins are exchanged for salt." ”

The man surnamed Meng began to be angry, he thought that the other party was lying to him, how could it be possible to exchange a little sheepskin for salt full of water bladders?

The person surnamed Jian hurriedly said in the other party's language: "Really, there is a lot of salt, dig it casually, dig it out, some of it can be eaten directly, and some of it has to be dealt with, it is not worth much, I also want to sell you at a high price, but I am afraid that Xiaobao and Juan Juan will be angry, and I promised it before, and it will be cheaper to give you salt."

You don't believe that you can find a few people to go back with me, I will let you see with your own eyes, how much salt there is, no matter how much you eat, you can't eat it all, but you have to walk when you bring it back, and your back is too heavy. ”

"We are not afraid of sinking, and we will immediately ask someone to go with you." Before the person with the surname Meng was confirmed, he still had worries, but he chose to go over and take a look.

The matter was settled, and then Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also confirmed by telegram through the people left behind that the person surnamed Meng was very happy, saying that he was willing to consider being included in the Tang Dynasty, provided that he could not be a slave after being included.

"Now we should speed up, continue westward, through the territory of the Six Edicts, and then turn northwest, over there is the Brahmaputra River, there is exactly a front of ours, specifically attacking the cannibals coming from India, and we will cooperate with them."

Zhang Xiaobao stopped, opened the map to take a look, and said to Wang Juan.

Wang Juan looked at the map and nodded: "Soon, India and Duoshi have now begun to harvest wheat and other autumn harvest crops in some areas, and I hope that the fleet that will attack the strait will not be able to let them collect the grain safely." ”

"Let's hurry up now, first question the small countries of India, ask them why they are helping the cannibals, and then talk to them about the purchase of food, if they say they will not sell, we can attack them on the grounds that they want to continue to support our hostile countries."

Zhang Xiaobao agreed.

"What if they say they're willing to sell?" Wang Juan asked.

"Impossible, buy ten catties of wheat for a penny, are you willing to sell it?" Zhang Xiaobao meant that he wanted to push down the price.

"Yes, you can exchange it for foreign exchange." Wang Juan said with a smile.

"Ugh! That's a hundred pounds, don't believe in this evil. Zhang Xiaobao said angrily.

Today's chapter, recommend a book, Late Tang Dynasty, you can take a look.
