Chapter 174 Shipbuilding is a must

On the plate represents the adult's hair bun, insert the hairpin and look at the mirror, stand up and walk two steps, see the hairpin pendant swaying in the wardrobe mirror, and then walk out of the room satisfied. The waiting maid shouted: "Auntie, morning! The smile on Yuzhu's face was even worse.

After a trip to the front yard and the backyard, I returned to the backyard with satisfaction in the greeting of "Aunt Gu is in the morning". The sun had already climbed high, and the opponent in the opposite courtyard had not yet gotten up, Yuzhu snorted and returned to the room with his chin held high. Busy, there are a lot of things, you have to do it well, the family property earned by the master is not small, and you have to look good at this part that you should take care of. Don't let the vixen in the opposite yard go back and don't let it go.

The ancient steward came in with four little maids, who were not very old, and they were twelve or thirteen years old. Standing in a formal manner, Lao Gu stood at the foot of the steps, and said with a smile: "Aunt Gu, if you fancy these four maids, you will stay, and if you don't like me, I will go to Renyazi to change." These maids are all selected according to your meaning, transported from Jinan, all of them are literate, and they are from good families. ”

Yuzhu raised his chin, nodded calmly, walked up to a row of maids and said, "Raise your heads." ”

The four maids raised their heads, timidly afraid to face them. On this immature face, as if he saw that he was sent to the hands of the human tooth by his father, Yuzhu rubbed his eyes and sighed: "Stay." How old is this, so I asked my parents to buy it, and I did evil! ”

A few maids are good, and the young beauties have come out, but Yuzhu is not worried about this. The lord is favored in front of him. They are all capable of doing things. Looks are a thing that may not be able to be eaten. Besides, they are young, and with the appetite of the master, I am afraid that they will not be able to look at them. Thinking of this, Yuzhu feels fresh, whose master doesn't take the small tender mouth? Master Chen just dropped one by one, and he picked the cooked ones to eat.

"They are lucky, the master is a bodhisattva, and Aunt Gu is also a kind-hearted. The situation is getting worse and worse this year, and the ground in Dengzhou is still good. I heard that Jinan is over there. Five taels of silver can buy a seven or eight-year-old girl. ”

Half an hour later, the rain rose and sat in the courtyard admiring a painting of bed sheets. I'm in a good mood, but I don't have any strength in my body. My voice is a little hoarse. Did you scream too hard last night? Blushing at the thought of it. No wonder Yingniang, the vixen, always runs to the Zhuangzi when she has nothing to do. Or, reconcile with Yuzhu? Alone. I'm afraid I can't compete with Yingniang and a few foxes under her.

I didn't see the master when I got up early in the morning, and I felt that the rain weed, which was almost scattered, struggled to get up, and went out of the yard to ask someone, saying that it was an early morning from the side of Qishan to report that the master had come to see what workshop.

The road was repaired, and the two horses pulled the four-wheeled carriage as fast as they could, and the sound of rattling wheels came to the seashore of Qishansu in less than an hour. There is a barracks here, which was finally completed half a month ago. The original health center, Chen Xie also looked down on it. simply build a new barracks by yourself, and ask for land and this seat left and right. Those hundred households general banner or something, as long as they grow high-yield grain according to the instructions, they can't care about their life or death.

The red brick wall is one zhang high, and the project is not small, thanks to those Liaodong refugees, who can work hard without paying for three meals a day. The wharf is almost formed, and there is a small wharf here, which is used by seven or eight small boat patrols. The dock on the edge of the dock had been erected, and the garrison Zhang Biao and his subordinates stood outside the camp gate to greet them.

Getting off the carriage and watching a group of subordinates stand up and salute, Chen Xie nodded with satisfaction. The barracks are important, any car driving must stop, the rules are set by Chen Xie himself, so he naturally has to take the lead in complying with them, what is the carriage like when it enters the barracks?

"It's hard work, Weihaiwei and Ninghaizhou didn't make trouble for you, right?" Chen Xie's question was aimed at Zhang Biao who didn't complain once, and it is said that the old men in these places are not so easy to deal with. Don't dare to find trouble with Chen Xie, and don't dare to trouble Zhang Biao?

"Back to the sir, there was a commander from Weihaiwei, and he went back after a circle, taking away a lot of potatoes and sweet potato seeds. On the side of Ninghai Prefecture, there was not a single shadow of people. Instead, he went to the original guard and collected the summer tax. There turned out to be some green-skinned gangsters on the ground to pound it, no, they were all working on the dock. ”

Chen Xie was very satisfied with this answer. Master Chen's soldiers, no matter where they go, can't suffer. This is what Chen Xie has repeatedly emphasized.

Along the cement road, through the barracks, walked forward, and Liu Qing, who followed behind, pointed to the high platform on the sea and said: "Owner, that is the dock, a new ship has been built." ”

Chen Xie couldn't help but be secretly excited, and his pace quickened. This new ship is the first small lucky boat that Liu Qing dug the corner of the Dengzhou sailor, got dozens of craftsmen to come over, opened a dock here, and built himself. It is said that there are only 200 materials, which is equivalent to 60 tons. That's it, Chen Xie is already very satisfied, after all, he made it himself. It is not a dream to go back and get the blueprints of the improved version of the Galen ship from the British from the modern society, and to build a large ship with Portuguese and local craftsmen.

Without the navy, Chen Xie absolutely can't accept it, this era belongs to the sea, and he can't be mixed in, I'm really sorry for myself. Don't say anything, just think about the gold and copper mines in Southeast Asia, Chen Xie can't wait to occupy all those places. The brilliant Ming Dynasty, Zheng He's fleet across the seven seas, turned out to be to promote the prestige of the country, and he lost all the way along the way, the biggest irony of the past and present is nothing more than this.

Anyway, those natives can't look down on their belongings, and they always have to be robbed, so let the Europeans rob them, it's better to rob them themselves. If you rob Southeast Asia, you can also rob India, and that place is really rich. This is the time of robbers!

A group of craftsmen knelt on the ground, Chen Xie is now an official, this is etiquette. Hurriedly went up and helped them up one by one, revealing the most kind face, and shook hands one by one: "Hard work!" Then he handed some of the older craftsmen cigarettes and lit fires, and they were grateful to them with tears in their eyes, and then it was over.

The gate rose under the power of the winch, and seeing the winch, Chen Xie couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of the people. The seawater poured into the dock, and the wooden boat was pulled slowly to the surface of the sea, and finally the wooden boat became a small spot on the sea.

"This is a small boat of 200 materials, the grass people and others have discussed it, make this dock a little bigger, and build a big ship of 500 materials next." The craftsman in charge of shipbuilding, Lao Han Wang Lao Wu, has a wrinkled face, but his eyes are very energetic. Later, Chen Xie learned that this old man was only forty years old, and he looked sixty.

"Okay, thank you guys. The ship was built well, and each person was rewarded with one pound of pork, fifty cents, and three pounds of white noodles. Dagong will each be rewarded with one tael of silver, two catties of pork, and ten catties of white flour. Master Chen made a "wealth boy", which caused a cheer.

More than 200 craftsmen toiled in the dockyard for almost three months to build a ship. The big worker is paid three cents a day, and the small worker is paid one penny a day, so the quality and quantity of the work are done well. Speaking from the heart, Chen Xie felt sorry. But these craftsmen don't think so, when they work for the Dengzhou water division, who pays them? Two meals of sorghum rice a day, and giving you ten catties of sorghum after the work is done, it is considered a blessing. Master Chen works here, and eats three meals of millet and white noodles every day, and the dry meals are either a fish or a piece of meat. There is still a salary, just this treatment, what do you want? If you don't work hard, then your conscience will be eaten by dogs.

Daming's sailboat is a hard sail, and there is a big gap with the mainstream of Europe now, Chen Xie has no dissatisfaction with this, how long has it been since he started from scratch? With the ability of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the future can be expected.

Looking at the qiē here, Chen Xie felt that he was a spider, slowly weaving a web and slowly getting bigger. The sense of accomplishment is very strong, and in the future, this sea area must be Chinese.

At noon, I had lunch with a group of old men, millet porridge, cornmeal and a little white flour, and the essence of steaming out was Wowotou. A fish is fresh, mixed with flour and fried until golden brown. Master Chen played the role of the Holy Mother again, and called the steward in charge of logistics to reprimand, saying that the food was too bad, and the body was so heavy.

The steward did not dare to defend himself, and quickly admitted his mistake. Chen Xie said to Wang Lao Wu and other great craftsmen: "At the beginning of the year, I went to Beijing to fight, and the cost was not small. I hope you will understand, and we will compensate for it before the year. ”

A group of simple craftsmen, tearful and non-stop, are all talking about Master Chen's goodness. If it weren't for shouting long live and violating the ban, it would probably be shouted. After a successful show and buying people's hearts, Chen Xie returned to Dengzhou.

When entering the city, the car was stopped, and the sergeant at the door cautiously reported: "Your Excellency, the governor, please." ”

Chen Xie, the general of the Dengzhou battalion, is really a bit unprofessional, and he can't see people all day long. Sun Yuanhua didn't have a problem with him, he basically let him go. Chen Xie's luck is not bad, Sun Yuanhua is a technocrat and doesn't like to play tricks very much, which also saves a lot of trouble. Otherwise, the boss will still have a lot of means to find trouble.

When I arrived at the governor's yamen, I got out of the car to go in, and was told by the porter that the governor was not at home, but at the concubine. The officials of the Ming Dynasty were officials in other places, and there was a very fucked up rule, that is, they were not allowed to bring their wives. Zhang Yao's case is very rare. He can't be an official in Dengzhou, and no matter how bad he is, he has to go to Jinan Mansion.

If you can't bring your family members, you have to keep an outer room outside or play with your husband, because it is also illegal for officials to prostitute themselves. Therefore, the officials of the Ming Dynasty gradually turned playing with Xianggong into a fashion.

Chen Xie hurried over, this outer room was in an alley next to the yamen, and he walked over for two minutes. Menzi let him into the courtyard, and when he arrived in the backyard, he saw Sun Yuanhua worried.

"Sihua is here, there is something I haven't figured out, you give me an idea." Sun Yuanhua didn't get up either, and was still meditating on a stack of papers. (To be continued......)
