And the matter of recruiting manpower, after everyone discussed, Yu Xiaotian handed over this matter to Wang Hong to handle, pirates! To do things, you have to use the pirate way, and it is definitely not possible to go to the shore to set up a sign to recruit people, so extraordinary things must be done in extraordinary ways, and the only way to do it is to rob it.

Yu Xiaotian asked Wang Hong to choose a place, and the target was mainly to some villages and towns near the sea, and the personnel were mainly locked on the displaced people who had recently poured into Fujian, and went to the shore to forcibly kidnap the tickets and kidnap some displaced people, and at the same time, they should not cause too much loss to the local residents along the coast as much as possible, so as not to annoy the local government.

For the displaced people, the government is not so concerned, the influx of the displaced people, for the local government in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, is a headache, they have no financial resources, and they are not willing to come up with financial resources to help these displaced people, and the displaced people themselves are also unstable, the good and the bad are uneven, some of the displaced people along the way, they will do some things such as robbing houses, chickens and dogs, and disturbing the peace of the place.

Therefore, in Xiaotian's view, it is safer to select the targets of the kidnapping on these homeless people, even if the government knows the way, it will breathe a sigh of relief because there are fewer homeless people on its ground, and it will not mobilize people to find trouble with the sea wolves.

In addition to these manual laborers, Guo Fu also raised the issue of shipwrights, although Guo Fu has a few apprentices and two sons, but after all, the manpower is limited.

Ship repair and shipbuilding are not the same, if you want to build a ship, the division of labor is very fine, there are many kinds of division of labor in a shipyard, there are full-time responsible for manufacturing hemp rope, there are blacksmiths who are responsible for making reinforcements, nails, rivets and ...... for making ships, there are craftsmen who are responsible for weaving sails, there are rough carpenters who are responsible for cutting, and there are also joiners who specialize in fine work, and there are craftsmen who need twisting and sewing.

In short, if you want this shipyard to have its own shipbuilding capacity in the future, it is far from enough to rely on Guo Fu and a few apprentices he brought, and it will not be able to do much work, and it will not be able to meet the needs of Xiaotian at all.

Regarding the question raised by Guo Fu, Yu Xiaotian invited his subordinates to discuss together, and the final solution was still only one word, that is, robbed!

Their target was directly chosen on the boathouse located in Meizhou Bay, which He Guang secretly colluded with on the shore.

He Guang secretly colluded with the shopkeeper of this ship, monopolized the affairs of the Shark Gang to repair the ship, and sought benefits from the shopkeeper, so taking him down also made Wang Hong and others take a breath of their previous evil anger.

So this matter was also handed over to Wang Hong, and a fleet was assigned to secretly attack this ship, destroying it in one fell swoop, and at the same time, it was necessary to wipe out all the craftsmen in the shiphouse and pull them back to Nanri Island together.

Wang Hong had also gone to attack the shipwhack before, but because there was a light in the dark that should have reported to the ship, they didn't do it twice, but now the situation is different, and Yu Xiaotian is in charge, and there is no possibility that someone will ventilate the guy in advance, so there is no need to worry about the air this time.

So the problem of people was completely handed over to Wang Hong to deal with, if necessary, he could cooperate with Feng Xi, who was good at doing things on the shore, the more people the better, and after the matter was completed, Feng Xi could be given some benefits as a thank you, and it was estimated that Feng Xi would also be happy to help the sea wolf with this.

After solving the problem of people, the next thing is the problem of materials, repairing this shipyard, and at the same time expanding it, it requires a lot of materials, which requires a large number of ironware, in addition to buying ready-made finished products on the shore, they can also make some by themselves, which also requires the purchase of a batch of pig iron wrought iron.

In addition, there was no cement in this era, and there was no limestone for burning lime on Nanri Island, and the main building materials of masonry and timber Nanri Island had to solve the problem of stone on the spot, and a large amount of wood still had to be purchased from land.

This requires a lot of money, and after Yu Xiaotian listed the list of materials required, he immediately handed it over to Zhao Mazi for valuation.

Zhao Mazi estimated that it would take nearly two thousand taels of silver to purchase these materials, which was really a lot of money, but Yu Xiaotian didn't even frown, and immediately waved his pen to let Li Gouzi allocate these silver for the purpose of repairing and expanding the shipyard.

As for how to procure it, it's not a problem, now the sea in Fuzhou is already at home to the sea wolf, such a deal, as long as you send a message, there will be a lot of people rushing to do it for the sea wolf, and there is no need to be subject to Li Yi's family.

Therefore, as long as the funds are in place, within a month, these materials will be continuously transported to Nanri Island for unloading, which is enough to meet the needs of expanding and repairing the shipyard.

After sorting out the affairs of the shipyard, Yu Xiaotian threw the matter to Guo Fulai to be responsible, and ordered him to restore the shipyard as soon as possible after the manpower was in place, and put it into operation.

And before this matter could be settled, Yu Xiaotian recruited the Lei blacksmith who was brought back from Guangzhou by Zhao Mazi to his eyes.

After this Lei blacksmith arrived at Dalian Island, he almost lost his life because of his stomach upset and cold, and was left by Zhao Mazi on Dalian Island and entrusted to the Li family to take care of.

The Li family didn't dare to snub this guy too much, and specially found Lang Zhong from the shore to Dalian Island for his diagnosis and treatment, and this guy was relatively strong, and after a few days of recuperation, he basically recovered.

The Li family found that this guy was not a good person, and his health was just better, so they began to gather the Li family's buddies in the Li family's warehouse and gamble money in the warehouse.

And this guy is still a womanizer, just two days after his body, he molested the woman who was cooking and doing chores in the Li family's warehouse, but was immediately thrown on the ship by Steward Li and sent to Nanri Island.

This guy thinks that he has the skills in his body, and after he arrives in the pirate den of Nanri Island, he will also be treated preferentially, otherwise these pirates will not go all the way to Guangzhou to invite him, so after arriving at Nanri Island, he will not be at ease in the village.

But he didn't expect that the rules here were actually very strict, and he didn't toss it for a few days, and because he was molesting the woman in the village, he was dragged to the torture hall and handed over to Liu Laoliu, the master of the torture hall.

The result was that Liu Lao Liu didn't care who he was, and he directly let him beat him to the 20th board, and as a result, he was beaten by crying dad and calling mother, and lying in the village for a few days.

Liu Lao Liu said clearly to this guy, don't think that he has some skills, so I don't know what his surname is, what is this place, let him show his tricks and see clearly, the island is full of pirates, he can't help but come here nonsense, if you want to leave your head to eat, just be fucking honest.

After being beaten, this Lei blacksmith was completely honest, and after recovering from his injury, he was directly thrown into Zhang Blacksmith's blacksmith shop, and handed over to Zhang Blacksmith to take care of him, so that he could give Zhang Blacksmith a hand first and do some iron-making things.

This guy was honest at first, but after a few days, he began to regain his old ways and became dishonest, on the one hand, on the grounds that his craftsmanship was no worse than that of Blacksmith Zhang, he did not listen to Blacksmith Zhang's call, and on the other hand, he secretly provoked several apprentices brought by Blacksmith Zhang, and pulled them to gamble secretly.

As a result, he was sued by Blacksmith Zhang to Liu Laoliu, beat this guy again, and starved this guy for three days in a row, so that this guy was obedient and completely honest.

Yu Xiaotian didn't have time to entertain this guy some time ago, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about this guy, after all, this guy is related to his future military affairs, and he knows everything he does to Yu Xiaotian, so he also said to Liu Laoliu that he can't be polite to treat such a guy, and he must always be under a high pressure, so that he can completely converge, otherwise give him a little sunshine, and this kind of person will be brilliant immediately.

Now when Yu Xiaotian thought of this guy, this guy was obediently brought to him, kneeling on the ground and not even daring to breathe.

"Raise your head!" Yu Xiaotian sat on the chair and crossed Erlang's legs and said coldly.

This Lei blacksmith quickly raised his head and presented his Chinese face in front of Yu Xiaotian's eyes, Yu Xiaotian looked at this guy, and saw that this guy was strong, low in stature, his arms and wrists were very thick, and his palms were also very thick.

"I heard that this guy of yours is not an honest guy, after coming to my wolf's den, he has not committed any less crimes, is it true?" Yu Xiaotian was not polite to this guy, and asked him with a cold face.

Looking at Yu Xiaotian, who was tall and burly, and seeing his cold face, this Lei blacksmith was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed and pleaded guilty, and even said that he would never dare to do it again.

Yu Xiaotian sneered and then said: "I know all the bad things about you, I don't care what your character is, whether you are a good person or not, but I want you to do things for me, if you don't do it for me, I will be happy to let you try my methods!"

People like you, I've seen a lot, I'm not afraid that you won't do a good job, I can't help you here! But if you do what I tell me to do well, then I won't treat you badly!

Don't you like gambling and women? As long as your cannon is well-cast, I will not be stingy with money, here, you can live comfortably, without worrying about being arrested by the government again, and you don't have to worry about being bullied!

But before the ugly words, if you can't use the cannon you cast, and deliberately make trouble for Lao Tzu, you can count the objects on your body, I don't care if you take them off one by one!

Okay, people like you must not be stupid, I don't bother to talk nonsense with you, I called you today, just one thing, when can you start casting cannons for Lao Tzu? Can you make a good cannon for Lao Tzu? ”

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, this Lei blacksmith couldn't help but feel a little creepy, with a chill on his body, how many bits and pieces he had on his body, he naturally knew how many bits and pieces he had, according to the words of this Yu Da master, if he didn't do it well, this Yu Da Da was not a vegetarian, and the ugly words were said in front of him, and when the time came, it would be a little bit of a chop for him!

(Then go with the water!) Dizzy! There are still all kinds of pain all over the body! ）
