This Spring Festival on Treasure Island is quite lively, Yu Xiaotian is generous to his subordinates, everyone gave a red envelope, which has a different amount of broken silver, and even the women on the island have also given red envelopes, so that everyone is a little happy.

Before the festival, with the joint efforts of everyone, a lot of thatched huts were set up in the village, and the personnel were arranged in the village.

In the new village in Xiaotian's planning, the houses are arranged in an orderly manner, everywhere is clean, in order to highlight some of the festive atmosphere, actually on the gate of the village, hang two red gauze lanterns, make Treasure Island appear jubilant.

The people on the island, young and old, were very happy after getting the red envelope, and even the newcomers did not fall behind this time, which also made these newcomers completely relieved, no longer worried, and worried about whether they would be bullied when they arrived here.

And this time, Yu Xiaotian brought back five prostitutes from outside, which fundamentally solved the problem of men's thirst for women on the island, and a special place was arranged on the island to hand over these five prostitutes to Li Gouzi to manage.

Yu Xiaotian also promised the five prostitutes that as long as they worked here for three years, if they wanted, they could redeem themselves, and then find a man to marry, if they were not willing to stay, they could do it for another two years, and then give them a sum of money and send them back to the land to find someone to marry.

These prostitutes were forcibly sent here by the Li family this time, although they were not happy when they came, and they were still scared, but after arriving here, they found that the pirates here were not as bad as they imagined, although they still had to be bitches here, but there were rules here, and they were not thrown to the minions to spoil at will.

Even this very man-looking boss took the initiative to make a time agreement for them, so that they had a hope, so these prostitutes were at ease and began to pick up customers, three years is not too long, and the time will pass, then they can be good, if they want to go back to the land, they can work for another two years, and they can take a sum of money to go back to Liang, which is a way out for prostitutes like them who are sold into prostitution.

On the whole, since Yu Xiaotian brought the people of Xiaohuangdao here, although they have experienced some setbacks on Treasure Island, they are still thriving on the whole, and the population of their island has reached hundreds of people in the past six months, and there are more than 70 people who can go on the ship alone, which is more than twice as much as they were at the beginning.

In addition, through Yu Xiaotian's efforts, the island has now also collected blacksmiths, carpenters, shipwrights, and smiths, plus a two-and-a-half tanner, and three full-time gunpowder cultivators, and there are more than a dozen people in total.

What made them even happier was that there were more and more women on the island, and now there were one or twenty women, plus five new prostitutes, so that they could finally smell the fishy smell, which made them happier than anything, and they were like flies seeing blood, and they wanted to smell the fishy smell when they had nothing to do.

If it weren't for Yu Xiaotian's rules, everyone could only be given two chances to get fishy for the time being, and merit could be rewarded, otherwise, it would be enough for those prostitutes to be busy.

So during the whole Spring Festival, Yu Xiaotian gave everyone a three-day holiday, so that they were all lively and relaxed, and took advantage of these three days, Yu Xiaotian himself was not idle, summoned Liu Lao Liu and a few soldiers, and told them about the conflict between the mixed river dragon and the shark.

Yu Xiaotian told these people that they were likely to be involved in this matter after the year, and for the sake of safety, they should hurry up the drills and prepare for war after the holiday, even if they just went to shout and cheer, this was also a rare opportunity to observe a large-scale maritime conflict, in case they needed to do it, they also had to have a little more ability to protect themselves.

After hearing this, although they felt that it was a bit thankless to help the shark Zhang Hu, they still accepted Yu Xiaotian's arrangement, and they were ready to work on their subordinates one by one.

Yu Xiaotian took the time to take a few boatwrights to choose a place outside the water village as a place for them to repair the ship after the year, and at the same time asked Guo Fu, a boatwright, to take his apprentice and son to inspect the bird boat taken from Zhou Cheng.

Guo Fu is indeed a bit level in ship repair and shipbuilding, and after seeing the broken ship, he said to Xiaotian: "Big boss, I have seen this ship!" Although the damage to the hull is not light, it has not yet reached the point where it cannot be repaired, and the hull, keel, rib and bulkhead plate on it are basically strong, and the injured places can also be repaired, and there is no problem in plugging the leaking gaps!

It is necessary to find a way to tow the ship ashore and fix it before the construction can start, but there is no dock here, and there is no slipway, so it may not be easy for such a heavy ship to be towed up! ”

Yu Xiaotian smiled after hearing this: "The geology here is quite hard, we can lay a slideway on the shore, and then use a winch and a pulley block, it won't take many people to drag the boat up, it's not too much of a problem!"

I think that when I was in Dahuangdao in the north with more than 20 brothers, I also repaired boats, and the boat I was using was the one we managed to tow ashore. As long as you can repair it, hurry up and repair the ship as soon as possible, as long as the ship is repaired, I will have a reward! ”

Guo Fu hurriedly nodded and said: "I can be taken in by the big master, and the little one is already grateful, how dare I still think about rewarding!" If the big boss can pull the boat up, then the rest of the things will be easy to do, a small guarantee, at most a month's work, as long as all kinds of materials are enough, the ship can definitely be repaired! ”

With the help of the carpenter on the island, they began to make all kinds of ship repair tools, even the blacksmith Zhang did not rest, and followed them to help make some ironware.

After Blacksmith Zhang arrived here, he is now in a good mood, his wife is pregnant, Yu Xiaotian takes care of them very much, there are a limited number of chickens on the island, and the eggs laid are given to his wife every day, according to Yu Xiaotian, that is, pregnant women should pay attention to nutrition, and they also promise to provide his wife with some fresh fish every day to let her nourish her body.

For Xiaotian's special care for their couple, Blacksmith Zhang was very satisfied, and could even be said to be grateful, such care, even when he was working as a blacksmith on land, it was difficult to do, not long after arriving on the island, his wife's body was obviously much better, and became much more moisturized.

Seeing that after the New Year, his wife was about to give birth, Yu Xiaotian also deliberately asked Zhao Mazi's wife, who had delivery experience, to be a midwife for his wife, ready to deliver for his wife at any time.

All this made Blacksmith Zhang feel at ease, and he worked very hard all day long, constantly creating all kinds of things needed for the people on the island, and repairing all kinds of weapons.

This time to repair the ship, Zhang Blacksmith also took his arms into battle, according to Yu Xiaotian's sketch for him, to build an iron pulley group, with this kind of thing, when pulling the boat ashore, it will save much effort, so in a few days after the year, all kinds of preparations have been prepared.

A double-track wooden slipway was laid on the beach, with skids added underneath to support the weight of the boat and ensure the stability of the slipway, including the slipway shelves to support the boat, which were quickly ready to be pulled ashore.

But at this time, Yu Xiaotian found a new problem that stumped him, that is, this time in order to ensure the smooth landing of the ship, and the geology here is not hard enough, can not be like the last time in Dahuangdao, using the way of laying rolling wood below to pull the boat ashore, for the sake of safety, in the end they can only use the slipway to pull the ship ashore, so that the first is that the ship is more stable when it goes ashore, and the rolling wood is used to go ashore, a little carelessness may damage the keel, and it is easy to make the ship roll sideways, and the second is after the ship goes ashore, The boat can be easily pulled to the simple slipway to facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of the bottom of the boat.

But it is precisely the things that seem to have no problems, but there is a problem, they want to use the slipway to pull the boat ashore, then the friction between the hull and the slipway will be very large, plus there are some sea creatures on the hull, it is not easy to do, generally under normal circumstances, you need to use a lot of grease to lubricate the slipway, and then you can pull the boat up, otherwise, the deadlift is likely to destroy the slipway, and because the resistance is too great, it will cause damage to the pulley block and the winch.

Therefore, if you want to pull the boat ashore, you need a lot of grease to lubricate the slipway, but what Treasure Island lacks the most is fat, and they usually eat here, basically using the boiling method, and rarely use cooking oil for frying and frying like later generations.

Moreover, oil is a relatively valuable thing in this era, and Yu Xiaotian has never thought of purchasing a large amount of cooking oil to improve his diet, so there is not much oil reserves on Treasure Island at all, so he can't lubricate the slide.

Looking at the slipway and simple slipway that everything was ready, after Yu Xiaotian heard Guo Fu's words, he also scratched his head, and wanted to deadlift, but he was afraid that he would break the slideway that had been laid up with great difficulty, and he was also afraid of damaging the pulley set and winch that he had finally made.

After Zhao Mazi learned about it, he suggested that he simply go to Dalian Island again and go to Li's house to purchase a batch of oil and come back, but this would cost a lot of money.

Yu Xiaotian stood on the beach, thinking about how to solve this problem as soon as possible, and he didn't have a clue for a while, when suddenly his eyes fell on the sea, and he saw a column of water mixed with water mist, spraying up from the sea, and then a huge body flashed on the surface of the sea.

Today, I saw my old friend Hu Lulu brother with a huge reward, I am really grateful! Thank you so much! ）
