A brig undulated in the waves, bumping forward on the sea with the help of the wind, a group of people were busy on the deck, some were catching each other and yelling back and forth in the open space on the deck, some were packing up the rigging on the ship, and some were pouting and wiping the deck back and forth on the ship.

The original dirty condition of the ship is now long lost on this ship, and all the places have been wiped clean, including the cabins, and all the garbage that used to remain has been cleaned up, including the stains on the bulkheads, which have also been shoveled down and carefully polished with pebbles.

The floor of the cabin was completely abolished, and rows of hammocks made of hemp rope were suspended from the bulkheads, and divided into two levels, which were hung in an orderly manner in the cabins.

Everyone's personal belongings were also neatly placed in the designated position, including the straw sandals they wore, which were also placed in a row on the side of the cabin, and against the bulkhead of the cabin, there was a row of weapon racks, spears, knives, and sharp axes were polished and placed on the weapon racks in an orderly manner, and some fish oil was rubbed on them to prevent these weapons from rusting.

The whole ship has a new look, which makes people look much more comfortable, Yu Xiaotian lowered his head and wiped the corners with his hands on the boat from time to time, Liu Tong and the black head followed behind him, and there was a helpless expression on his face.

"Helm handle, can we make the boat as clean as a dog licking? Isn't it good to have a place to sleep? Why do you have to make such a hassle? With this kung fu, it is better to lie down and rest, and if something happens, you will have the strength to fight with others, right? The black head couldn't hold it back, and followed Yu Xiaotian to complain.

Yu Xiaotian ignored him, turned around and led them to the deck, and ordered them to blow out the candlesticks in the cabin, and when they returned to the deck, Yu Xiaotian reprimanded the black head: "You have too many complaints!" Didn't I tell you what I should have said a long time ago?

Why do some people say that running the boat is equivalent to handing over their lives to the Dragon King? Why is it that every time a boat runs on the sea all year round, someone dies on the boat?

People who beg for a living at sea are most afraid of hurricanes and waves, and they are afraid of encountering the hijacking of ships that do our business, but there are not many boatmen who really die in the hands of people like us in the wind and waves, you go and ask the sixth uncle how did the people who died the most at sea die? ”

Liu Lao Liu heard Yu Xiaotian mention him, so he turned his head and reprimanded the black-headed guys: "You guys don't know that the reason why the rudder of the road let you do this is for your good!" Nine times out of ten, those who come out to run the boat die at sea! ”

Yu Xiaotian took Liu Laoliu's words again, and said to the black-headed guys seriously: "Uncle Sixth is right, the people who died on the boat died of illness nine times out of ten!" But you only know that they are sick and dead, but you don't know why they get sick!

Now I will tell you again, I have a clear memory, it is because the ship is so dirty, mosquitoes and rats can spread all kinds of diseases, and there are fleas, which can kill people!

Uncle Six and Uncle Ma had encountered a boat at sea before, and all the people on board were dead, they were neither killed nor stormed, and everyone on board was still there, what was this for? It was because the ship was so dirty that the plague spread that before they could get back to shore, they all died!

I asked you to do this for the sake of the big guy's body, which of us doesn't want to live a little longer? Wouldn't it be better to clean up the boat? Do you say that it was comfortable to live on the ship before, or is it comfortable now? ”

The black head scratched his head and said, "That's right! Compared with before, it is still comfortable to live on the boat now, but at the beginning on the boat, there were many fleas to death, and the bite was full of pimples all over the night! Now that it's cleaned up and smoked, I can sleep peacefully at night! Provincial rats are scurrying around on their bodies and making them sleep badly!

But the helm handle asked us to clean up the cabin, why does this boat have to wipe like a dog every day, I don't understand! ”

Yu Xiaotian stood at the stern of the boat and glanced at the boat, looked at the smooth deck, and said angrily: "We rely on the boat to make a living, the ship is our home, we say something unpleasant, we are called pirates, but I have never regarded us as thieves!"

In my eyes, we should be soldiers! If you look at yourself as a thief, you won't have much hope in this life! Give birth to a son and be a thief in the future!

If we don't even cherish our own boat, don't expect to be able to get out on this sea in the future, after this deck is cleaned, once we start to move, it won't slip when we run, and it will save our lives at a critical time!

In short, you follow the rules I have set, and sooner or later you will know that I will only do good and not harm in doing so! Who's supposed to be on duty today? Why didn't you wipe the deck here? Blackhead, you go and ask, if someone is lazy, tonight's dinner will be free! ”

After hearing this, the black-headed did not dare to be verbose, so they hurriedly went down and found out one of the guys on duty, and asked him to knock the aft deck up to the sea, and carefully wipe it again.

After a while, I heard Yu Xiaotian scolding at the bow of the boat: "Bastard! I've said it a hundred times! Whoever it is, you must pee in the sea, and you are not allowed to pee on the boat! And who did this? ”

Meng Madman scratched his head and stood up and said with an embarrassed face: "Don't scold the helmsman!" It's me peeing, I was in a hurry to urinate just now, I forgot the rules set by the helm handle, I wipe! I'm rubbing! Can't I wipe it clean? ”

Yu Xiaotian's brain is full of black lines, this Meng madman is disrespectful to the old, he always can't control himself, and he violates the precepts at every turn, but he can't really beat him with a military stick.

"I said Uncle Meng, you are the commander of the ship, and I still rely on you to help me manage people! You say you can't control yourself all the time, so how can I manage other people? Today we can't do it anymore! According to the rules we set, the latrines on the ship will be old for you in the next five days! Yu Xiaotian grabbed Meng Maniac, who was about to run, and whispered to him angrily.

Meng Maniac's face was full of bitter melons, and he whispered: "I said that I am a big boss, aren't we all used to it!" Blame me! It's all to blame! I really don't dare in the future! Two days, two days? You raise your noble hand, I'm old, this appetite is not good, I work for five days in a row, and I can't eat! ”

Yu Xiaotian was angry and funny, raised three fingers and said, "Three days, no less!" ”

Meng Madman looked unlucky, shook his head and said, "Cheng!" Thank you very much! Three days is three days! You eight grandsons, all of you have told Lao Tzu that if anyone dares to mess around in the thatched toilet at the stern of the boat in the next three days, Lao Tzu will plug his groove with a plug! ”

After hearing this, everyone on the boat immediately laughed, and the descendants agreed repeatedly, saying that they didn't dare, but some bad ones said: "Uncle Meng! I've had a stomach trouble in the past two days, you can't blame me! Ha Lu Ha! ”

As a result, the guy who spoke was immediately kicked in the ass by Meng Maniac, and fled towards the other side of the boat.

After Yu Xiaotian glanced at the hull again, he breathed a long sigh of relief, now this boat, under his vigorous rectification, everywhere has become clean and tidy, the ropes that were originally messy on the deck have now become neat, the deck full of dirt has now been restored to the original wood grain color, much smoother, the railing and mast have also been polished smooth with stones, everything looks much more comfortable.

In order to achieve this goal, Yu Xiaotian worked hard to formulate a set of hygiene standards and a duty system, and personally led this group of people to clean the hull from the inside to the outside, and designated the placement of various items, as well as the drinking water and diet system on the ship.

These people were very unaccustomed to it at first, a dirty boat was not a big deal for them at all, and these people who were used to living in a nest made them clean up, which really made them unacceptable, especially Yu Xiaotian In addition to requiring hygiene on the ship, they were also very strict with their personal hygiene.

Everyone has to wipe their faces, rinse their mouths every day, wash their hair and bathe every day after going ashore, and change their clothes frequently, which is undoubtedly a kind of torture for these bachelors who have no wives, especially now that it is already cold, it is really difficult for them to take a bath and wash their hair every day.

In this regard, many people had to get by at the beginning, but Yu Xiaotian showed no mercy, and every day he had to conduct a thorough inspection of the ship and their cabins, and if he caught the violators, he would be punished for the first time to do 200 prostrate push-ups, the second time he would be beaten with five military sticks, and the third time he would have to beat enough twenty military sticks, if he didn't change it, he would not be allowed to go on the ship again to do things in the future, and he could only stay on the island forever to look after his family, and he didn't even think about marrying a wife.

The people on the boat were tossed and scared, and at first there were people who didn't care and even deliberately fouled, but after being cleaned up, they were all vigilant, and gradually had to do it honestly according to Yu Xiaotian's requirements, the boat became clean, not to mention, people have become much cleaner, and the guys who used to be unkempt and unkempt are now combed neatly, tied on the top of their heads, and their clothes can also be seen in the primary color. No longer let people smell their sweat from afar.

In this way, it also brought a benefit, that is, everyone began to look cheered up, walking seemed to carry the wind, the previous kind of casual temperament that everyone carried, for which it has changed a lot, coupled with every day whether on the boat or on the island, the exercise and the initial training of the queue, so that the mental outlook of these people has changed dramatically.

Although these people are still far from the military temperament that Yu Xiaotian wants to achieve, at least these people already know what obedience is and what it means to obey orders, so that everything among them has begun to become much more regular, which makes Yu Xiaotian somewhat comforted.

A team with a sense of discipline can play more combat effectiveness than a loose team, this is an unbreakable truth, although he has not yet built his subordinates into a group of iron-blooded soldiers, but at least he has made a good start at present, as long as he continues to walk along this road in the future, if he has no accidents, he believes that sooner or later, he will stand out among the many pirate groups and become the best among the pirates.

Looking at these busy subordinates on the ship, Yu Xiaotian began to like this kind of pirate life, three hundred and sixty lines, the best in the line, what can you do when you are a pirate? Now is the Age of Discovery, although he came a little late, but he knows better than anyone the future direction of this world, why can't he use this identity to achieve a career?

Yu Xiaotian turned around and set his eyes on the vast sea again, and suddenly felt that his heart suddenly opened up, and the depression that had accumulated in order to be forced to embark on this road before, at this time, looking at the vast sea, it was actually swept away, and it began to become much brighter.
