"Sixth, do you say that the chief is not a bodhisattva?" Huang Shi, who was about to step into the barn, heard the sound of speech coming from inside, and he stopped to hear what they had to say about him.

"Xiao Jin, why do you say that?" It was Ma Qianzhi who answered, and he looked at Jin Keshou a little strangely.

"Look sir, not only did he not let us touch a single hair of the women and children, but he also wanted to bind the wounded of the wounded, and asked them if they had enough to eat." Jin Keshou scratched his head, it is said that it is good not to kill, and it is too good for this chief to treat prisoners like this.

"Hey, hey." Ma Qianyu laughed and didn't speak.

"Old horse, what are you laughing at?" Jin Keshou was a little annoyed.

"I said that you are still too young, and you think too simply, how do you know that there is no thunderbolt behind the Bodhisattva heart of the chief."

"I ......"

Listening to the two of them talking for a while, there was nothing new, and Huang Shi gently retreated a little outside, then coughed lightly, and then slowly walked in.

This livestock shed was actually divided into a small courtyard, and the original cellar was separated from it by a wall, which was used to store green in the past, but recently it was moved into a dungeon by Master Jiang.

Ma Qianzhi and Jin Keshou saw Huang Shi come in, and hurriedly saluted Huang Shi, this kind of behavior and habits are often strengthened, and it has become a part of their daily life, so it is natural to use it, Huang Shi gave them a salute in return, and asked, "Can the number here be counted?" ”

"Report sir, we have counted twice just now...... "The person who is reporting is Jin Keshou, he turned out to be a carpenter, and later repaired ships for the four seas, so he can do some simple mathematical calculations, otherwise if he can't even do this, then how can he understand the size."

Ma Qianzhi on the side looked at Jin Keshou blankly, he still didn't know a big word, so seeing that Jin Keshou could talk to Huangshi, the lack of envy in his heart was fake, but unfortunately he didn't have a good director in other aspects except for operating the boat, and he didn't listen to much of the training class that Huangshi did at night before.

After listening to Jin Keshou's report, Huang Shi was also a little frightened, he really didn't expect that in addition to the hundreds of tons of coarse and fine grain in the warehouse, the scale of this livestock shed is not small, there are 23 mules, and there are 15 horses, 34 donkeys, as for pigs, cattle and sheep, there are more than 200 heads, as for chickens and ducks, they are in another yard, they have no statistics.

Huang Shi was pleasantly surprised when he heard it, those mules, horses, donkeys and cattle can also be used to transport people and goods when they retreat victoriously, and those dozens of sheep can naturally be led away, but what should I do with these hundreds of big fat pigs, I can't go on the road together.

"Okay, yes, you guys look here for a while, and I'll take a look in the backyard." Huang Shi instructed Ma Qianzhi and Jin Keshou to take care of this place, and he had to go to another courtyard to see it.

……

"Sir, you see there are so many things." Wu Nanhai used a knife to break the padlock of a house.

"Well, let's click first." Huang Shi nodded, and it was really an eye-opener again, because there were four houses in the other small courtyard of the second courtyard, one room was where all kinds of cloth and silk were stored, and the other room was a neat and tidy warehouse of fine ceramics, and there was really no way to count such a large number of ceramics.

The third room is some good wood, not to mention those mahogany, even rosewood, sandalwood, and the last room, the inventory is spices, there are more than 200 bags of pepper alone, each bag has at least 60 catties, and a bag of bags is stacked there.

"Hey, sir, you see, we're still traveling all over the world." When Wu Nanhai was counting on the side, he suddenly pointed to the bag of spices he counted.

"How do you know that this is your original?"

"Sir, our spice bags all have the marks of our travels all over the world."

"Oh, then you can see if there are any similar markings on the other bags."

"Yes. Sir. Wu Nanhai happily picked up a few bags of spices and looked at them, "This bag is...... This bag is not ......"

After counting, I realized that the last spices of the four seas were all here, and there was no shortage of one package, but in fact, this only accounted for a very small part of the whole warehouse, and most of the spice bags had the marks of other trading houses.

"Sir, you said that this bastard dragon had to rob how many people's sea boats to save so many things!"

"Well, I guess it's not just him who grabbed it, he may also be the den owner of those pirates." Huang Shi estimated that there were not many opportunities for Master Jiang to play in person, and there were not many scenes like this entrusted to do a trip around the world, and it was more likely to provide a shelter for those pirates in the background, and then help others sell the stolen goods.

In Fuqing Datian not far to the south is Quanzhou, and further south is the Moon Port, and Quanzhou is the Chinese Maritime Silk Road, but also the extension of the land Silk Road, in the Song Dynasty has been famous in the world, in the Ming Dynasty has been declined. Yuegang came later, Yuegang, also known as Yuequan Port. In the Ming Dynasty, it belonged to the eight and nine capitals of Longxi County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, and was named "Moon Port" because of its "a moat in the water, surrounded by the glaive".

Under the sea ban policy in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Yuegang was further developed. First, the scale of breaking the sea ban and "going down privately" has increased; second, foreign merchant ships have begun to be lured to China's coastal areas for smuggling trade; and third, a large number of private maritime trade groups have emerged, and they are both armed and both businessmen and thieves.

Therefore, this sea route was a hunting ground frequented by pirates, and the remote ports along the coast became the supply ground for the pirates, and Ming officials such as Jiang Xunjian became the general backstage of some pirates, helping them to ventilate and hide and sell stolen goods.

But now that the Jiang family has all this been taken over by himself, and he has become a victor, Huang Shi's mood can't help but be happy, and he is thinking about getting some information about large coastal households from Su Minyou and them, and then sweeping all the way over, because in addition to getting a large number of assets, he can also coerce a large number of young and strong laborers.

"Sir, I've finished counting, this pepper is...... Nard...... Su He...... Rest...... Yu Jin ......", Wu Nanhai was sweating, he counted the word "positive" on the large piece of paper in Qiu Shulei's hand, and then said those spice stocks one by one, others are young, so after Huangshi gave them a few math lessons, he can already add and subtract simply.

"Well, I'll take a look." Huang Shi took a piece of paper from Qiu Shulei's hand.

"What is this?" Huang Shi pointed to the first line on the paper and asked, the first column on this paper is Wu Nanhai and Qiu Shulei with pencil to draw patterns, they don't know words, so they can only use patterns to represent each spice, and then followed by the word "Zheng", just now Wu Nanhai counted a bag in front, Qiu Shulei He drew a horizontal in the back.

"Sir, this is ...... Sandalwood. ”

"It's ...... Clove. ”

Fortunately, Wu Nanhai and Qiu Shulei cooperated to read the names of those spices again, and Huang Shi used a pencil to mark the text behind the most Lu after the most Lu, and the two of them were very eager to watch Huang Shi write simplified Chinese characters on the paper, thinking that the chief had said that he would give them a lesson in the next stage and teach them to read, and they could finally get rid of the trouble of not being able to read big characters.

Huangshi used a pencil on the paper in a column, so many varieties of spices, there are many that have never heard of, such as Duoduo, Heluo, Encephalar, Angelica Angelica, Duhuo, Jatamansi, Triadon, Gaoben, Galangal, Muxiang, Mother Clove, Asarium, Rhubarb, Frankincense, Canaan, Shuixi, Jatamansi, Suhe、......。

And pepper, rest, tulip, cloves, agarwood, sandalwood, musk, black agarwood, herb, fennel, rose petals, borneol these are known to the Tao, obviously some spices are not valuable in modern society, such as pepper, but other sandalwood, musk, black agarwood is still worth a lot of money if it is converted into RMB.

After reading this, Huangshi was ready to put them all away and transfer them to the modern era with a light door, but fortunately, the various rooms of the shipyard's office building had been cleaned up, and a lot of rat poison and insecticides were put in, and now it was just right to put these things.

So Huang Shi first asked Wu Nanhai and Qiu Shulei to go outside the small courtyard first, and then he closed the door and opened the light door again, the location of the light door is now also in a room in the office building of Shipbuilding Stone, this room has been piled up with the grain that Huang Shi moved from the Jiang family's granary in front of him.

The grain was also full of nine large rooms in the office building, and Huang Shi carefully walked out of the reserved passage, and he didn't know how long the two hundred tons of grain he had to eat, because the grain could not be stored for a long time.

Huang Shi also grew up in the countryside since he was a child, so he knew that this rice can be stored for 2 years in the south, and it may be stored for 3 years in the north, but the hulled rice is generally not summer, that is, the white rice added in the spring, if it is not kept well, it will be easy to have insects in the summer.

So this can be regarded as a kind of happy trouble, Huang Shi thought as he walked, because he was afraid of the food damp, so he did not choose the first and fifth floors of this five-story office building, that is, the six rooms on the second floor were occupied by his grain, and even the third floor also occupied three rooms.

Now it seems that the other three rooms will also be filled, and the spices, cloths, silk and silk and ceramics will also have to be placed here, and the fourth floor may also have to occupy some, and the high-grade wood will have no choice, because of the length and shortness, it can only be placed in the courtyard of the shipyard first, and I hope it will not rain in the next few days.
