Yu Xiaotian was dealing with various aftermath matters after the war on Nanri Island, and at the same time stepped up urging the workshops everywhere to resume production as soon as possible, and through this battle of Nanri Island, he also felt that it was indeed not very easy to defend Nanri Island Dazhai.

This time, Chu Cailao led his troops to attack, although their ability to attack was not strong, but they broke through Dazhai several times.

Moreover, Nanri Island is too close to the land of Xinghua Mansion, almost under the nose of the government, and the government must have already known about this time, although it was not him who provoked the government, but the movement was so big, it was certain that the officials in Xinghua Mansion and Fuzhou Mansion would be wary of him.

So he can't predict what kind of attitude the court or government will take towards him in the future, so far the Ming Dynasty is still angry, and once it makes a big fuss, the court will not easily let him continue to grow bigger on Nanri Island, which is close at hand.

So what he has to do now is to move some workshop areas from Nanri Island as soon as possible, and move them to Jilongzhai or Tamsui Village, two places beyond the reach of today's imperial court, even if the government has any thoughts about his Nanri Island in the future and sends a large army to attack, he will have a big deal to roll up and leave, temporarily retreat to the base area of Taiyuan Island, and look back at the opportunity to make a comeback.

So after the end of this war, he began to make changes to the workshop area, and after thinking twice, he decided to divide all the workshops under the jurisdiction of the current ordnance office into three, and send two of them to the chicken coop village and the tamsui village for resettlement, and put them into production as soon as possible, even if there are changes in Nanri Island in the future, there are still those two places that can continue to produce ordnance for his subordinates to use, at least the line will not be broken.

In addition, in order to ensure that the glass production process and soap production process that he currently relies on to make a windfall will not be lost, it is obviously more dangerous for these two workshops to continue to stay on Nanri Island.

So according to the situation, Yu Xiaotian felt that it would be more appropriate to transfer these two workshops to the side of Jilong Village, Jilong Bay itself has an innate defensive advantage, and now three forts and a castle have been built, I dare not say that it is impregnable, but at least no matter who wants to capture it, it is not an easy thing.

And the sea off Jetch Bay itself is a natural fishing ground, soap production needs a lot of oil, at present their main way to obtain oil is whaling, Jellong Bay as a fishing port also has a unique advantage, where whaling and then oil refining, in addition to facilitating the manufacture of soap, can also develop related leather and meat processing industries, in the future as their main meat supply base for sea wolves is also a good choice.

Needless to say, Nanri Island itself has limited resources, far less abundant than the timber resources of Taiyuan Island, and now the shipbuilding industry is most inseparable from wood, and it is certainly more convenient to rely on transporting wood from the outside for shipbuilding.

And with the success of the construction of sloops and brigs, and the gradual mastery of construction technology, the Seawolf will definitely have to build in large quantities in the future, and may even build larger Galen ships or other ship types, and continue to build ships on Nanri Island, which is obviously no longer suitable.

So these days, Yu Xiaotian has been busy adjusting this aspect of things, starting to group the craftsmen on the island, and loading some of the existing equipment and materials to Tamsui Village and Jilong Bay.

It is not very difficult to build a workshop area in the two places of Taiyuan Island, this only needs to be sent by Yu Xiaotian to say hello to Heitou and Fang An, and the two of them will naturally immediately arrange for someone to build the workshop by hand, and set up all kinds of necessary stoves and other things under the guidance of the craftsmen sent in advance.

But in terms of personnel transfer, Yu Xiaotian encountered some problems, the craftsmen are used to living on Nanri Island, and how to say that this is still the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, not far from the shore, and you can see the land from a distance across the sea, even if they can't leave Nanri Island, but there is always a feeling of psychological comfort.

Now Yu Xiaotian wants to send them to Taiyuan Island, which is said to be a barren land and rampant with natives, and many craftsmen are not happy.

At first, Yu Xiaotian asked the craftsmen to sign up on their own, but after two days, there were very few applicants, so Yu Xiaotian had to ask about the matter, talk to the craftsmen, and explore their ideas.

These craftsmen all have a bit of Ah Q spirit, knowing that since they have arrived here, after learning the seawolf's cannon-making, gun-making, shipbuilding and other crafts, he will definitely not let them go, but they have to rely on a place closer to the land, and they will not go to Tamsui Village and Jilong Bay, which have better conditions.

In addition, because Taiyuan Island has never been a place that people pay attention to on land, people who have been there occasionally always bring back some messy information, either saying that it is a barren land, or that there are mosquitoes rampant, or that there are a lot of people eating there, and as a result, many people have a natural resistance and fear of Taiwan Island.

So Yu Xiaotian simply asked these craftsmen to take a boat to Tamsui Village and Jilong Bay in batches to go around, and go to see how the situation is there, and then decide whether they stay there to work, as for the problem of their families who are worried, this matter is easier to handle, all the craftsmen who are willing to go there to work, the family members will also be sent over together, and they will be given another home there.

After hearing that Yu Xiaotian allowed them to go to see first and then decide to stay in the problem, the craftsmen were relieved, in addition, there are more ships coming and going to Tamsui Village and Jilong Bay recently, and the people who have been there have also brought back some of the situation over there, according to the people who have been there, the two villages over there are very big, much bigger than the big village on Nanri Island, and everything is new, the pattern of the village is very good, and it makes people feel comfortable when they look at it.

In addition, the wall of the chicken coop bay has been built, the village is built by the mountain, it is like a small city, the city walls are made of stone, tall and strong, and I also heard the local sea wolf people talk about having a cannibal life, but I have seen a lot of local people there, often carry some local goods to the chicken coop village to trade with the sea wolf people, exchange some daily necessities from the sea wolf, get along quite well.

As for the Tamsui Village, the current wall is still under construction, it is also located on the hill, it is planned neatly and cleanly, there are two main roads in the vertical and two horizontal, and there are many auxiliary roads crisscrossing it, there is still a big empty place in it, and the surrounding environment is also quite good.

After hearing about these things, some of the craftsmen expressed their willingness to go over there to have a look, so Yu Xiaotian specially sent a few boats, loaded these craftsmen, and escorted them to Tamsui Village and Jilong Bay to have a look, just to let them take a few days off and decide whether to work there after they come back.

Of course, in addition to being busy with these things, Yu Xiaotian did not forget to let the sea wolf subordinates continue to act, although he had secretly decided to temporarily give up going south to Dongshan Island to find Chu Cailao to continue fighting, but he did not tell too many people about this matter, so that the fleet and soldiers in these days, after a little rest, they continued to start military drills on Nanri Island, putting on a posture of being a strong soldier and a horse to go out to do a big job.

Yu Xiaotian believes that such a scene will definitely be brought to Chu Cailao by some people, no matter whether he goes to find trouble with Chu Cailao or not, this tense atmosphere must still be maintained for a period of time, so that Chu Cailao can feel this pressure, otherwise, even if Chu Cailao agrees to negotiate with him, he will not be able to blackmail Chu Cailao with many things.

Sure enough, a few days later, Chu Cailao really sent someone to Yu Xiaotian to send a message, and Chu Cailao sent a message to Yu Xiaotian, saying that he was willing to negotiate with Yu Xiaotian, but the negotiation location could not be at sea, it had to be placed on land, and someone had to guarantee it.

Chu Cai was really scared by Yu Xiaotian, for fear that Yu Xiaotian would cheat again this time, trick him into bringing someone over to negotiate, and take the opportunity to do something to him and kill him.

Therefore, he asked to find a guarantor, to guarantee from the middle, and put the negotiation location on land or somewhere else, so that he was willing to meet and negotiate with Yu Xiaotian, otherwise he would not negotiate with Yu Xiaotian.

In this regard, Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh, feeling that Chu Cailao was really a cautious person, so he agreed to Chu Cailao's request, but who to find as a guarantor and where to negotiate became a problem.

This guarantor must know Yu Xiaotian and Chu Cailao, and the relationship must be similar, and there is considerable strength, there are two businessmen who are more suitable, one of them is a maritime merchant in Quanzhou, and the other is a maritime merchant in Fuzhou, both of whom are engaged in the business of running the sea.

And they all know Yu and Chu, and they all have dealings with them, so they can act as intermediaries, but the problem is that the strength of the two businessmen is average, once Yu Xiaotian or Chu Cailao cheats during the negotiation, these two businessmen are a little overwhelmed, so it is a bit inappropriate as a guarantor.

In addition, there are also certain problems in the choice of location, Yu Xiaotian and Chu Cailao are both pirate leaders, and they are both registered masters in the government, if the news of the location of their negotiation is revealed, if the government takes the opportunity to take them, it will be a bit troublesome.

So the land is obviously not very safe, this negotiation location is not easy to choose, the place designated by Yu Xiaotian, Chu Cailao may not be trustworthy, if Chu Cailao is allowed to choose the place, Yu Xiaotian can't trust the old guy.

So in the matter of choosing a guarantor and a place to negotiate, Yu Xiaotian ran into trouble, discussed with his subordinates several times, and did not choose a suitable place and a suitable intermediary.

In the end, Liu Laoliu proposed a person and a place, which made Yu Xiaotian's eyes light up, and he immediately agreed.
