Wu Tianxiao said to the soldiers who came to participate in the burial and the families of the war dead: "Everyone. Buried here are heroes, martyrs. It is an infinite honor for them to fight to the death to protect us from the Japanese invaders. They died fighting to defend our home, to protect our loved ones. We should not forget such heroes. Therefore, I decided that in the future, all soldiers who died in battle will be buried in the martyrs' cemetery. In the future, a cemetery will be built here, and a hero's shrine will be built to worship the comrades-in-arms who died fighting to protect our homeland. ”

The people present are basically Ming people, and they have followed the concept of a good man not being a soldier since ancient times. In this era, soldiers are humble, and no matter how they kill the enemy, it is difficult to gain people's respect. In particular, some military households, even their commanders looked down on them very much, and only treated them as personal slaves, let alone being respected. This is also the saying that it will be successful for eternity. It is said that the glory of generals is piled up with the corpses of soldiers, and only a few people who have been generals have left their names through the ages, and soldiers will not be remembered.

At this time, Wu Tianxiao regarded the soldiers who died in the battle as heroes, and built an ancestral hall to worship them. This makes these poor people from poor backgrounds have a blood boiling in their hearts, which is the incentive of honor.

Wu Tianxiao looked at everyone's hard work, and announced: "In a few days, it will be the Qingming Festival." I declare here that Qingming Day will be the day for us to pay tribute to the heroes, and there will be a routine holiday every year on the Qingming Festival in the future to worship the heroic souls. I just want you to remember that without the bloody death of the warriors, we would not have a good life. Therefore, for the sake of our families, for the sake of our fathers and fellow villagers, we must fight to the death, fight to the death against any enemy who comes in, and never retreat. ”

The crowd was so inspired that they shouted in unison: "Fight to the death." Fight to the death. Never back down. ”

I don't know who was overly motivated, and blurted out and shouted: "Long live the city lord, fight to the death." ”

The crowd also chanted: "Long live the city lord, fight to the death." ”

That's it. Yongchunliao will build a martyr's cemetery, and the Qingming Festival has become the second holiday day in Tamsui City after the Spring Festival.

In 1538, in May of the seventeenth year of Jiajing, the population of Tamsui City increased to more than 4,000 people. The shipyard also began to enter the stage of transforming seagoing ships, and Wu Tianxiao also had people cast a huge disc-shaped serration, using a waterwheel to drive the giant disc-shaped serrations to cut wood, which greatly increased the speed of shipbuilding.

At the same time, the construction of the Enlightenment School has also been completed, allowing all children under the age of ten, including the aborigines, to go to school, with more than 300 schoolchildren, but the teachers are only Yang Jingchun and Jin Xuezeng, who are hired with high salaries. Nowadays, students are only taught Chinese, Chinese characters, and moral character education.

In fact, Wu Tianxiao would love to teach these children simplified Chinese characters, as well as decimal mathematics and geometry. It's a pity that I'm too busy now to spare time, so I want to look for opportunities in the future, whether to fool those few shows before learning and then teaching students.

In addition to treating the wounded, the pharmacy workshop also completed the initial construction, and in addition to treating the wounded, it also stipulated that people should be treated at a low price, and only the herbs and the doctor's own labor fee were charged. At the same time, in order not to overwork the doctors, the hospital is required to commute to and from work for five hours a day. They were also sent to the hospital as the first nurses to take care of the sick. And let the doctor Wen Shouyi, who was hired with a high salary, manage the hospital and the pharmaceutical workshop, and bring more than a dozen medical apprentices.

While repairing and casting weapons, the ironwork also began to try to cast copper cannons under the guidance of Wu Tianxiao. The match workshop was also relocated to produce matches and grenades on a large scale. Wu Tianxiao also asked Jia Yuan to hire some paper-making craftsmen from Ningbo Prefecture with high salaries to establish a paper-making workshop.

The sugar mill has also produced sucrose in batches, but in fact, the sugar mill is just a crude production of raw sugar. It is to let the stonemasons build multiple roller stone mills, and let the carpenters make the waterwheels. Then the sugarcane is cut into pieces and placed on the stone mill, and then the stone mill is pulled by the water of the Tamsui River, and the sugar cane is pressed into juice after the stone mill rolls, and the sugarcane juice is dried and cut into pieces to become sucrose. The bagasse that is pressed into slag has become the best raw material for paper mills.

However, due to the lack of personnel, the original brick and charcoal burning yards and salt drying yards had to be suspended. But even so, Wu Tianxiao's twice-monthly voyage to Zhoushan added cane sugar and a small amount of paper to the matches and furs he had exported. And this fur and cane sugar bring Wu Tianxiao an income of hundreds of thousands of taels every year.

The annual profits of matches, cane sugar, and fur can not only pay Wu Tianxiao's military salary and wages, but also bring him an income of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the silver hoarded in Tamsui City at this time has reached as high as one million taels. The export of cane sugar has made Tamsui City's income increase a lot. In order to attract more immigrants and make the soldiers work harder, Wu Tianxiao increased the salaries of all the sergeants, workers, and peasants by 10 percent. And let Jia Yuan recruit more landing talents, doctors, and various technical craftsmen. With the increase in population, the strength of Tamsui City has gradually increased.

June. Ji Nang invaded Xuanfu and commanded Zhou Mian to die in battle. Emperor Jiajing ordered the Ministry of Rites to discuss his biological father's gift of the Emperor's Zongqi Temple, and gathered the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in the East Pavilion. Yan Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the ministers did not agree with the emperor's wishes, the emperor was displeased, Yan Song was afraid, and said before he changed his mind. The emperor also instructed Yan Song: "Taizong is difficult, the merit is the same as the creation, and the ancestor should be called different." Yan Song then expounded the emperor's intentions and proposed, "The ancients father and son are different, and the brothers are the same generation." Yan Song played, and the ministers did not dare to object. Yan Song's currying favor with the emperor became more and more revealed, and he also gained the emperor's favor more and more.

At this time, Wu Tianxiao was worried about one thing. This is because of sugar, you know, before the appearance of monosodium glutamate, sugar was an extremely important condiment. And there are many uses of sugar, such as making pastries, making candy and so on. And this sugar does not need contraband raw materials to make like matches, so when the cane sugar in Tamsui City flows from Zhoushan Shuangyu Port into Ningbo Prefecture, it is out of control. Like butterflies smelling the fragrance of flowers, various merchants gathered in Shuangyu Port to order goods from Jia Yuan.

And the corrupt officials Chen Qianhe and Tang Xianyao had no idea what to do with Wu Tianxiao this time. The two watched the snowflakes of silver flowing to Shuangyu Port, and they thought about getting some more benefits from Wu Tianxiao. It's just that Tang Xianyao was afraid of Wu Tianxiao's force, and he didn't dare to use force, so he discussed with Chen Qianhe, and asked Wu Tianxiao to pay some more money to settle the government's mouth on the grounds that Wu Tianxiao had privately recruited people overseas. In this way, Wu Tianxiao was invited to Ningbo Mansion to discuss "big things" with Chen Qianhe and Tang Xianyao.

At this time, Wu Tianxiao's identity is no longer ordinary. Although his own force cannot be ignored, he is a master even in this era. But he has a lot to deal with on his own, and he can't be distracted everywhere. And Jia Youshi, Jiang Zhuang, Wu Dayou and others have now been promoted to the head of a hundred households. Therefore, Tan Lun, even Shen Nanshan, who took refuge, and the newly promoted Taiside, became Wu Tianxiao's personal entourage, and each took several fierce men to follow Wu Tianxiao all day long.

Wu Tianxiao came to Ningbo Mansion for a banquet, and Tan Lun and others naturally followed. When the group arrived at the most luxurious Yuelai Inn in Ningbo Mansion, Wu Tianxiao entered the Tianzi No. 1 Accord alone, while Tan Lun and others asked for two tables in the hall on the first floor, and waited while drinking.

Chen Qianhe saw that Wu Tianxiao was still the same brother blind date, and called Wu Tianxiao a brother and a brother with a smile. Tang Xianyao may have a ghost in his heart, but he is a little restrained.
