On June 8, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Daishan Gaoting Port. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the wharf, Ren Siqi came to see off Mao 18 and others who went to Japan for trade.

A huge fleet of more than 50 sailing ships roared out of Gaoting Bay. Among them, there were 21 seagoing ships loaded with cargo, and more than 30 warships escorting the ship.

In order to enhance the combat power of the fleet, Ren Siqi gave his ship "Princess" to Mao 18.

With such a large fleet looking at the East China Sea, almost no one can beat it except for the Zheng family in Fujian! The Dutch, as powerful as they were, could not send so many ships to Japan.

Therefore, Ren Siqi is not worried about safety, the only thing to worry about is the wind and waves.

But going to sea is like this, going to sea and trade is to fight with the sky and the earth, and the unpredictable wind and waves, brave the unpredictable danger to cross the vast ocean, earn that endless wealth, this is the most addictive place to go to sea!

If possible, Ren Siqi really wants to personally lead the team to sea. It's a pity that there are too many things on Daishan's side that he needs to do in person.

For example, go to Shandong to recruit displaced people.

During his trip to Shandong a month ago, more than 3,000 Shandong refugees were recruited, and together with the original infantry, two battalions of 2,000 infantry were formed.

After this month's running-in, these Shandong immigrants have also adapted to life in Daishan. The cultivation of the land, the workmanship of the work. Of course, all men and women are soldiers.

The life in Daishan is many times stronger than that of Shandong, and you can eat enough food here every day, and you don't have to worry about losing your life at any time.

The strong men were paid a monthly salary as soldiers, and the women worked in the canning factory with an income every day, and each family rented dozens of acres of land and planted autumn rice. In more than two months, the autumn rice harvest will be handed over to the inspection department, and each family will have more than ten stones of grain left, and the days will definitely get better and better.

......

The Daishan Water Army has now formed a scale, but the number of infantry is too small, which is why Ren Siqi is in a hurry to go to Shandong to continue recruiting displaced people.

However, before going to Shandong, it is necessary to make preparations for the resettlement of displaced people.

There are now nearly 10,000 people on Daishan Island, and the development of cultivated land is almost the same. The number of displaced people who can be resettled is limited, and if they come again, they can only be resettled on other islands.

At present, there are dozens of islands controlled by Daishan Island, but there are not too many islands that can really accommodate a large number of displaced people.

Although the area of Changtu Island on the east side of Daishan is not small, the overall area is half of Daishan, but most of it is hilly and mountainous, and there is little area that can be cultivated, and it can accommodate hundreds of displaced people at most.

The area of Xiushan Island in the south of Daishan is not small, it is the abbot mountain of one of the legendary three immortal mountains, the scenery is beautiful and it is a good place for sightseeing, but unfortunately most of them are mountains, and the rest are mostly tidal flats, but there is not much arable land.

The larger islands also include Daqu Mountain to the north of Daishan, which is two-thirds the size of Daishan, and can also develop five or six thousand acres of cultivated land. What makes Ren Siqi even more excited is that there are salt pans with an area of more than 3,000 acres in the middle of Daqu Mountain, and if they are fully developed and the salt drying method is adopted, tens of thousands of stone sea salt can be produced every year. This will be another source of income for Daishan.

In fact, the most suitable for immigrants is Jintang Island, almost all the islands in the Zhoushan archipelago are mountainous and flat, but Jintang Island has a lot of flat land, and the cultivated land that can be developed reaches more than 20,000 acres, but most of them have not been developed.

There are more than 2,000 islanders on the island, most of whom belong to the military households of the Zhoushan Counselor's Mansion, so the more than 5,000 acres of land developed on the island belong to the Zhoushan Counselor's Mansion.

If Jintang Island can be occupied, more than 20,000 acres of cultivated land can be developed, and fruit trees can be planted in the mountainous areas, which is enough to accommodate 5,000 or 6,000 people.

But Ren Siqi's relationship with Zhoushan is really delicate now, and if he wants to settle the migrants on Jintang Island, he must obtain the consent of one person, and that person is called Huang Fengwu.

Through the meticulous work of Anthony's military intelligence department, Ren Siqi now knows the situation in Zhoushan well.

After Huang Binqing was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Jiujiang, Huang Fengwu did not follow him to Jiujiang, but stayed in Zhoushan.

During this time, Ren Siqi was busy with the internal affairs of Daishan, busy intercepting merchant ships going to sea, and fighting with the Ningbo gentry. And Huang Fengwu was not idle.

According to Xizuo, Huang Fengwu recruited a thousand new elites on Daishan Island, took out his own belongings, and began to train his troops. Huang Fengwu completely adopted the Daishan model, and everyone who was selected into the new army was immediately allocated 20 acres of land.

The land was completely owned by the soldiers, but 30% of the annual harvest had to be paid to the Zhoushan General's Office. This made the military households in Zhoushan very excited, and they signed up for the new army one after another.

Huang Fengwu also took out the property he had accumulated as the cost of training, participated in the training and took care of the food, and had a small amount of money to get every month.

As for the military system, Huang Fengwu completely adopted the Daishan model and trained the spear formation.

According to what Xi Zuo said, Huang Fengwu's training is very strict, and the elite of his soldiers is no less than that of Daishan infantry!

After listening to the report, Ren Siqi secretly pouted, this Huang Fengwu is really capable of doing it, I'm afraid it won't be long before Huang Binqing's money earned over the years will be ruined!

Once upon a time, the relationship between Ren Siqi and Huang Fengwu was so close, but because of Ren Siqi's secret plot against Zhoushan Island, there was a mustard between the two.

Now that Ren Siqi is back together with Zhang Pujia, he is even more reluctant to face Huang Fengwu.

But it is not possible not to face it, the Daishan Army wants to develop and grow, and Zhoushan is an obstacle that cannot be avoided.

With full thoughts, Ren Siqi returned to the Yamen of the Daishan Inspection Division.

In the back hall, Zhang Pujia was writing non-stop.

In the past few days in Daishan, in addition to not pretending to Ren Siqi, Zhang Pujia has been in good spirits all day long.

Teach the students of Daishan Academy and practice the preliminary algebra written by Ren Siqimo. Since the establishment of Daishan Academy, Ren Siqi racked his brains to compile a mathematics textbook.

Whenever he had free time, he desperately recalled the mathematical knowledge that belonged to another world in his mind, and whenever he got something, he recorded it and made it into a thin book, named "Algebraic Preliminary".

It's a pity that the knowledge in it is only middle school math knowledge, and as for the calculus and advanced math knowledge, he has long forgotten everything and can't think of anything.

But in this way, after Zhang Pujia saw it, she was like a treasure, and directly asked for the past exercises, which corroborated what she had learned.

"The math in your booklet is really amazing, it simply opens up another mathematical system." Seeing Ren Siqi walk into the room, Zhang Pujia raised her head and said to Ren Siqi with a gleam in her eyes.

"But I don't know where you learned this math?"

"Hmph, what's your mine, Sister Pujia, you can't do this. Shouldn't you call me a husband? Ren Siqi avoided answering Zhang Pujia's question, and pretended to be dissatisfied.

Zhang Pujia's face is slightly red, the two have not yet married, how can the word "Xianggong" be called?

"It's okay if you don't call me Xianggong, then call me Brother Siqi." Ren Siqi took a step back and said.

"I'll still call you Brother Siqi, and Brother Siqi have the same meaning." Zhang Pujia suddenly said mischievously.

"That's not good, we're not classmates in the same year, what's Brother Siqi? You either call me Xianggong, or call me Brother Siqi. Ren Siqi shook his head and said.

Zhang Pujia blushed, but refused to scream.

"Okay, if you don't scream, don't blame me for being rude!" Ren Siqi rubbed his hands and forced over. Zhang Pujia's blushing and shy appearance was so pretty, which made his heart flutter.

"Yikes!" Zhang Pujia screamed in surprise and retreated again and again.

"Don't bully Miss!" The finch bravely rushed up and stretched out her hands to protect Zhang Pujia behind her back.

"You!" Seeing the appearance of the bird's loyal protector, Ren Siqi couldn't help but feel angry, what an eyeless girl, didn't you see that I was flirting with your girl?

Hiding behind the finch, Zhang Pujia laughed "sneering".

Stretching out his hand and twisting it on the finches' bulging face, Ren Siqi gave up the persecution. Hey, it feels pretty good!

"Oops!" The finch screamed and covered her face.

Zhang Pujia glanced at Ren Siqi and waved his hand to drive the finch out.

"Tell me where you learned this math?" After an interlude, Zhang Pujia revisited the old words.

Ren Siqi just shook his head and didn't answer.

"Alright, alright. Am I still calling? Zhang Pujia looked around and saw that the finch was gone, and she and Ren Siqi were left in the house.

"Brother Siqi!" Zhang Pujia's voice was like a mosquito and a fly, and two red glows appeared on her face.

"What? Didn't hear me! Ren Siqi put his hand to his ear and motioned for a louder voice.

"Brother Siqi, Brother Siqi, tell me quickly." Zhang Pujia was bold, with flattery in her voice, and Ren Siqi was sour and crispy when she listened.

"Okay, let me tell you, in fact, I learned math from a Franciscan, his name is David."

"It was my first time at sea, and I encountered pirates at sea, and after defeating them with great difficulty, I rescued a Franciscan from a pirate ship, and it was David. David was a learned doctor, proficient in astronomical calendars, arithmetic physics, navigation, and even cannons. ”

Unable to explain how he knew math, Ren Siqi had to make up a story.

"The ship was adrift at sea for more than a month, and David taught me a lot of knowledge, and that's how my math came about!"

"There are also Hongru among the barbarians!" Zhang Pujia's face was full of longing.

......

"What the hell is going on with that yellow girl?" Just when Ren Siqi felt that he had passed the test, Zhang Pujia suddenly asked about Huang Fengwu.

Knowing that he couldn't avoid this, Ren Siqi gritted his teeth and told the matter.

"Take advantage of the kindness of other girls to rob her father's Zhoushan, you can also do this kind of thing?" Zhang Pujia looked at Ren Siqi with disdain.

"Zhoushan is the Zhoushan of the Ming Dynasty, not her family. Huang Binqing is greedy and cowardly, how can he be worthy of being the master of Zhoushan? It is of great use to me to seize Zhoushan, not for my own selfishness. Ren Siqi argued.

"In that case, why did you show mercy again? Do you like other people's girls so you stop? Zhang Pujia's eyes seemed to see through Ren Siqi's heart, and the words he said made him even more unable to answer.

"Since we have to do what we have decided with all our might, how can a husband be indecisive! If you like someone else's girl, you will marry her back, but if you hesitate, how can it be done by a man? Zhang Pujia's words smashed into Ren Siqi's heart like a hammer, shocking him to the core.

"You, what did you say? Let me marry her back? Ren Siqi stammered and asked.

"Why, you think I'm a jealous woman. If that were the case, I would have been by you many times over the years! Zhang Pujia glared at Ren Siqi fiercely.

"You are the only seedling of the Ren family, why not marry more wives and concubines, as long as you are not a fool, how can I be dissatisfied?"

"Pu Jia, you're so good!" Ren Siqi was extremely excited at this moment, and stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Pujia's hands.

"That Huang girl must also be devoted to you, go to Zhoushan earlier, go to reconcile with her, for her friendship with you, and for your career!" (To be continued.) )
