After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, this Lei blacksmith was really frightened, and quickly kowtowed like garlic and replied: "The big boss spares his life, and the small one will never dare in the future!" The small ones will cast cannons, please rest assured that the small ones are not blown, when the small ones were done in Foshan in the past, all the small cast cannons, none of them blew up!

It's just that this cannon casting thing is very cumbersome, the small ones have to prepare a lot of things in advance, they have to do the mud fan first, and it takes one to two months to dry in the shortest, and the mud should use the best soil, but also charcoal ash, and the iron should also be the best fine iron of Guangdong, and the iron furnace should be built, which will take some time.

In addition, the small ones also need some helpers, at least a dozen people, and if there are few, the small ones can't do this job!

As long as the things are ready, the small ones can immediately start casting cannons for the big masters! ”

Yu Xiaotian frowned after hearing this, this guy is right, starting from scratch, if you want to cast a cannon by yourself, it is not a simple thing, a perfect cannon is established, it takes a lot of time, materials and manpower, and it is impossible to do it overnight.

He nodded and said, "I understand what you said, you can rest assured of these things, as long as you need something, you just say, I will make a list and prepare it for you immediately."

There is also the factory shed for casting cannons you want, I will start to let people build it for you tomorrow, how tall and how big it is, you say it yourself, it doesn't hurt to be bigger, as for the manpower, there is no problem, I will find a way to allocate a group of people for you, specifically for you, if you need a blacksmith to help you, I will ask people to find it for you on land!

In short, I will give you a month to prepare, and after a month, at least start to make cannon models for Lao Tzu, and let me tell you, I don't want those tattered bowl mouth guns, Baizi guns and the like, you make cannons for Lao Tzu, and you will directly make Western-style Hongyi cannons for Lao Tzu! Or just cast a thousand pounds of Buddha Lang machine for Lao Tzu!

In short, you kid don't want to use rags to fool Lao Tzu, don't think Lao Tzu doesn't understand, if you can't cast it, then what use do I want you to have, you weigh it yourself!

Alright, you go down! From today onwards, you remember, there is only one month of work, I will give you what you want, and after a month, if you can't start opening the mold for Lao Tzu, then it will be a waste of food to keep you! ”

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, this Lei blacksmith was so frightened that he agreed again and again, pouting his ass and being taken out of the gang.

In the following month, the entire Nanri Island became unprecedentedly lively, according to Yu Xiaotian's orders, the sea wolf's ship began to go to sea repeatedly, and every few days, Wang Hong would send back a boat man to the island.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian gave Wang Hong a special explanation, when kidnapping tickets, for those homeless people, it is not necessary to tie only young and strong men, if they have families, they can be brought back together regardless of age and age, so as to avoid separating their flesh and blood, and let these people settle on Nanri Island in the future.

At the same time, Yu Xiaotian also secretly ordered his subordinates to choose some reliable helpers among the sea wolves, so that they could return to their hometowns, recruit landless people from their hometowns for the sea wolves, and settle on Nanri Island, on the condition that the sea wolf gang provide them with free land reclamation, young and middle-aged men and women, each person will be given ten acres of land, and those who are less than fourteen years old will be given three acres of land.

In addition, he also sent a message to the merchants, asking them to buy cattle and mules on land in large quantities, as long as they are transported to Nanri Island, the wolf's den will buy them at a high price, and it is settled in cash, and there will be no arrears.

In short, now that there is a huge Nanri Island, such a deserted island is definitely not what Yu Xiaotian wants to see, and if you want Nanri Island to prosper, you need to immigrate to the island.

As for what means he used, it didn't matter if he was kidnapped or invited, as long as he tasted the sweetness on the island, he didn't worry that these people would not feel at ease to stay.

In this era, someone has everything, not to mention that Nanri Island is not his ultimate goal, his appetite is now getting bigger and bigger, the next step is to enter the island of Taiwan, how can no one succeed, this Nanri Island is just a springboard at most, so now he has to step up all the time to prepare.

Of course, he only knew about the invasion of Taiwan Island for the time being, and he didn't even tell Liu Laoliu, but he was secretly planning in his heart, otherwise, once it was made public, it would inevitably make the hearts of his subordinates fluctuate.

In less than a month, Wang Hong forcibly kidnapped nearly 500 people from all over the coastal areas.

After having these people, Yu Xiaotian also solved the problem of lack of manpower, and the progress of various construction projects on the island began to accelerate rapidly with the abundance of manpower.

On the construction site of the shipyard, nearly 300 laborers were divided into two groups and worked in two shifts on the construction site of the shipyard, and there were nine hours of rest on the site except for the rest in the middle of the night.

The two abandoned docks were gradually re-excavated under the shift cleaning of these laborers, and the dock door of one abandoned dock was also reinstalled in place with the efforts of craftsmen, and the bottom of the dock was re-tamped by the laborers and paved with stones, and the collapsed part of the side wall of the dock was also repaired and rebuilt with stones.

Some of the laborers were ordered to go to the nearest mountains to mine stone, and then load it on ships to be transported along the shore of the island to the dockyard for repairs.

There were also some laborers who were sent to other parts of the island to help build various sheds, and Nanri Island, which used to be peaceful and deserted, became very lively in the second half of the third year of the Apocalypse, near the northwest corner of Nanri Island, and at least it was full of vitality, even if it was not full of people.

All kinds of people are busy here, giving people a sense of prosperity, and this scene makes the sea wolf tribe feel as if their days are more hopeful.

The subordinates of Chen Jiu, the chaotic river dragon who were captured in the first war on East Itch Island, have now been screened and screened, and about half of them have been selected into the Sea Wolf Gang, retrained, and then assigned to various boats.

In addition, a small number of personnel were increased to the barracks, so that the strength of the barracks reached more than 170 people, these soldiers were organized into three detachments by Yu Xiaotian in the five-five system, each detachment has a sub-captain, a deputy sub-captain, three guards, a man, a detachment and five squads, each squad has eleven people, a ten-man commander, five people as a team, one of them is selected as a captain.

Although the military of later generations mostly adopted the three-three system, such an establishment was not suitable for this era, while the five-five system was more suitable for the requirements of this era.

Moreover, among these five men, two are equipped with muskets, two pikemen, and one knife player, who can attack from a distance and defend at close range, and can act independently when necessary.

Although Yu Xiaotian is not a genius, he understands far more things than the vast majority of people in this era, and he is standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, and he does not need to be tested by practice, so even if he has no experience in this area, he is still much stronger than many people in this era.

When a detachment cooperates with the fleet, it can also be crammed into a large ship, and is responsible for fighting the enemy after going ashore, which is not only more professional, but also far more effective than the team improvised by the sailors on board.

This point has been tested in actual combat on Nangantang, about 100 soldiers, easily defeated the enemy who exceeded their number of about double, and the casualties are very low, the effect is extremely obvious, which also makes the people who were not impressed by Xiaotian's formation of this war battalion at the beginning, and have to admit that Yu Xiaotian did this, it is indeed a very far-sighted thing.

The battle of East Itch Island and the Second Nangantang also pushed Yu Xiaotian's prestige to a high point, those who took refuge from the Shark Gang before, at first some people were still not convinced by Xiaotian, but after this battle, no one dared to doubt Yu Xiaotian's ability anymore, and even Ma Feng, who was quite unruly, had to nod his head again and again afterwards to praise Yu Xiaotian for being really powerful, and at the same time made Ma Feng a lot more honest.

This era and the environment they are in are to speak with strength, Yu Xiaotian has undoubtedly convinced most of his subordinates through the display of his personal strength, and has also completely stabilized the Sea Wolf Gang.

In short, after trying to clean up the mixed river dragon, the entire coastal area of Fuzhou became stable, and no one dared to come to trouble the sea wolf, and the sea wolf also became famous in this battle and became the absolute ruler of the Fuzhou sea, which provided a strong guarantee for Yu Xiaotian's next activities.

With the advancement of various affairs, after a few months on Nanri Island, the originally empty seaside, a number of merchant inns began to be built like mushrooms after a rain.

The commercial dock was also completed after three months, with three sturdy wooden trestles to provide convenient docking and unloading conditions for ships.

The first merchants who came were still a little uneasy, for fear that Yu Xiaotian would not keep his integrity and go back on his word, and they were also afraid that doing business under the nose of these pirates would be swallowed at any time, and there would be no bones left.

But after three months of trial operation, these businessmen gradually found that the new boss surnamed Yu of Nanri Island was much more trustworthy than the original Zhang Hu, and the planned commercial port was managed by him in an orderly manner, and even the sea wolf tribesmen who were most worried about them might harass them rarely appeared.

Usually the sea wolf people are in centralized management, not allowed to leave their ships or stations without authorization, only with permission, the sea wolf people will go to the commercial port around the area, but the sea wolf gang has a rule, all the sea wolf people who go to the commercial port to wander around, are not allowed to make trouble in the commercial port, violators will be heavily responsible, and at the same time shopping is also required to buy and sell, and must not use force on merchants.

Although some unpleasant things happened during the period, once the accident occurred, the Seawolf Gang immediately punished the troublemakers and escorted them to the torture hall to receive the crime, which fundamentally safeguarded the interests of the merchants.

In addition, the Seawolf Gang also purchased a large number of various materials from the land through these merchants, and the merchants were only cautious at first, but found that as long as the goods they provided met the acceptance of the Seawolf, they could almost immediately receive the silver from the Seawolf's council hall, and settle the full amount, and never default.

As a result, these merchants gradually became more at ease and began to concentrate on operating here, and the demand for sea wolves was even more satisfying, and at the same time, they increased their efforts to do business here.

Originally, at the beginning, it was good for these merchants to come to Nanri Island for one or two boats a day, and sometimes it took three or two days to come to a ship to load or unload goods, but after three months, this situation has begun to change greatly, and more and more people have begun to come here to trade with confidence and boldness.

In this way, the utilization rate of the wharf has been greatly improved, and at most at the end of October, there are actually eight ships a day, which has caught up with the number of ships entering and exiting Dalian Island, and the throughput of goods has begun to surge a lot.

(Ha Luha, I would like to give special thanks to the autumn Maple Grove Brothers for their tip, so that I have a good omen from the first day of this month!) Thank you so much! ）
