Chapter 258: Everything is ready

"Yo he, it's so lively!"

When everyone was sighing at Wang Lun's foresight, they saw Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu coming together, followed by a dusty man, Wang Lun saw this person, his heart was happy, and secretly said that everything was really ready this time, even the east wind was ready.

When the generals of the navy saw the three leaders coming, they all smiled and stepped forward to greet them, Ruan Xiaoqi smiled and said, "What kind of wind is it today, so that several brothers will gather on my duckbill beach?" It's been a long time since our navy Dazhai has been so lively! ”

Xiao Jiasui smiled, looked at this outspoken man and said: "This time I went to sea, it is related to the rise and fall of my cottage, where can we still sit still, no, come and see you with Brother Zhu Wu!" ”

Zhu Wu also smiled: "This time I want to cut the flesh on the leaders, I am afraid that you will not be happy in your hearts, so I have come to persuade you!" You don't know, my brother has spoken, and a big feast will be held at noon, which will surprise everyone! ”

"Master Zhu, you are underestimating our brothers in the navy! What's the name of the one my brother is talking about...... That's right! In your heart, we are so unconscious? Ruan Xiaoqi looked at Zhu Wu and smiled.

Zhu Wujian said, shook his head and smiled, and replied to Ruan Xiaoqi: "It's one thing to be enlightened or not, it's just that the brothers in the navy army have all been taught by you with great effort, and this time so many people are gone all at once, and they are not happy to put it on anyone!" My brother and I are afraid that you will feel uncomfortable, so I would like to express my heart! ”

Zhang Shunjian said: "Our water army can contribute to the cottage, which shows that we still have a status in my brother's heart!" The military advisor doesn't know, I will listen to the achievements of the Ma army today, and hear the victory of the infantry army tomorrow, our hearts, alas...... Do not say! I only said that the cottage can use us this time, but I don't have to say it, I want people to make people, and I want to contribute. Even if my brother orders me, I will never say anything! Longtan Tiger's Den is also going to break through! ”

Hu Cheng said with a smile: "Where is Brother Zhang Shun so scary, go to sea, it's not a knife mountain and a oil pot!" A few brothers don't know that it is only two or three days from our Laizhou to Goryeo's Ongjin! ”

When everyone heard this, they were very surprised and said, "So fast? So what is Tamna? ”

"That giant island brother has only been there once! Walking south along the shore from Wengjin, it is estimated that it will take five or seven days to arrive! Hu Cheng said with a smile.

Ruan Xiaoqi was surprised when he saw it, and sighed: "It's so close!" I'm afraid I won't have a year and a half. Brother Li Jun can't come back! ”

In fact, it's no wonder that Ruan Xiaoqi didn't know anything, but the Northern Song Dynasty's management of maritime trade was loose in the south and strict in the north. At this time, the Wa Kingdom maintained the national policy of closing the country to the outside world, limiting the number of times that Song Dynasty merchants could visit each year, and the Song Dynasty's contacts with the eastern and northern countries were relatively sparse. On the contrary, trade with the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean countries in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangnan is in full swing.

Because of this, the people in the interior know the distance of the nearby Fan country.

At this time, everyone laughed, and Ruan Xiaoqi scratched his head. Look at everyone and smile. Xiao Jiasui and others stepped forward to greet Wang Lun, Wang Lun looked at Hu Cheng and asked, "When did you come back?" Everyone's invited? ”

"The head of the program, the deputy leader, the direct warehouse, the miscellaneous affairs, the department leader, the head worker, the helmsman, the fire chief, the anchor hand, and the cable worker are all invited, these people are all familiar with private businessmen all the year round. It's just that everyone is reluctant to fall into the grass, saying that they are helping the cottage run a few times, and they have to quit! Hu Cheng said with some shame.

Leader and sub-leader. It is the captain and deputy captain, Naoku, also known as Zhuku, who manages weapons on the ship; Miscellaneous is also called Zhang Shi, who is responsible for daily affairs; The cable worker, also known as Zhang Fei, is responsible for the cable, the anchor, the helmsman, and the pinsmith are better understood, and the affairs they are responsible for are literal. Since he was preparing to go to sea in the cottage, Wang Lun had also made up for this kind of common sense, so he was not surprised to hear Hu Cheng say it at this time.

"What about the boatman? How many did you invite over? ”

Wang Lun asked, this boatmaster is an indispensable talent in the voyage, they know geography, the night is to observe the stars, the day is to observe the sun, and the obscure is to observe the compass. This talent is as important to the fleet as human eyes. Without them, the fleet would have been left to crash into the boundless sea.

"The younger brother knows a family, this family of five men are all doing this all year round, I have invited their whole family over, because the reputation of the cottage is very good among the people, they are willing to work for the elder brother!" Speaking of this, Hu Cheng had a smile on his face.

Wang Lun smiled when he saw it, and said in his heart that this Flying Tiger could speak. These people, like the Gangshou, Zhiku, and miscellaneous people who do not want to fall into the grass, live by the sea of Deng and Lai, and although they are not far from Liangshan, they are not close. If it is said that the surrounding people feel Liangshan's kindness and come to vote for their families, Wang Lun has no doubts. Only this family is willing to join the gang, I am afraid that Hu Cheng will do his best. Seeing him like this, Wang Lun didn't say anything at the moment, and said with a smile:

"As long as they are willing to go to Liangshan, the cottage will not treat them badly! In addition, you tell them that as long as you can train a qualified boatmaster for my cottage, the reward will be 100 yuan, and there is no cap, the more the merrier! I, Wang Lun, are the ones who say it, and tell them not to worry about the disciples of the church starving to death of the master! "An excellent boatman can often revitalize a fleet, and the development of Liangshan in the future will not be satisfied with just five boatmen, this account, Wang Lun can still be calculated.

The secret skills of the boat master are generally not passed on to outsiders, but are passed down from father to son and brother. Hu Cheng was afraid that Wang Lun would not understand these at first, so he forced them to teach them skills. It's just that this family is their own old acquaintance, for fear that they will be caught in the middle and not be good people.

But at this time, after listening to Wang Lun's meaning, he wanted to exchange the huge profits for them to take the initiative to pass on his art, and Hu Cheng put his mind at ease, after all, he had found a safe way to make money for them, so he was worthy of this friendship.

Seeing this, the three military advisors all looked at each other and smiled, since the owner of the village had thought it through so thoroughly, they had nothing to add. It's just that when I think of the prospect of going to sea this time, I am very emotional.

Nowadays, the number of cottage people is increasing dramatically every day, and the embarrassment of the lack of cottages has long changed, and now the primary problem has become worrying about too many people going up the mountain!

This kind of situation that is placed in other cottages and can't be asked for has now become a heavy burden on Liang Shan. In the past, it was barely able to deal with it, but after this battle of Zhujiazhuang, the captives who went up the mountain plus the farmers who voluntarily went up the mountain in Zhu and Hu Zhuang had exceeded 10,000 people, and the cottage was faintly unbearable.

At this time, if there is really a giant island that can divert and relieve pressure, wouldn't it really solve the urgent need? Not to mention the island. Other benefits that bring.

"Brother, when do you think the fleet will leave?"

At this time, I saw Li Jun asking. In the past few months, he has eaten and drunk well on Liangshan, and a miracle doctor like An Daoquan, who is begged to see him but can't, comes to treat his injuries every day, and Wang Lun also comes to visit him whenever he has time.

Seeing that Li Jun was eager to fight, Wang Lun patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Tell the brothers to take advantage of these few days to familiarize themselves with the sea ship and wait for two days." Let's ask Wen Junshi to pick a good day and an auspicious day, and then you can take Tong Wei and Tong Meng to the sea! ”

When Li Jun heard this, a smile appeared on his lips, and he nodded very solemnly, only to listen to Wang Lun's instructions: "I will send Jeju Shuangli to go with you on the boat, and if the brothers encounter any emergencies on the road, they will have a doctor to diagnose and treat them, and I will allocate 500 sets of leather armor, 1,000 sets of paper armor, and 50 war horses." A hundred Divine Arm Bows, two hundred bows and arrows, you have them with you, just in case! ”

Wang Lun thought for a moment. And he said, "You heard it just now." Invite the familiar hands who come to sea together, I'm afraid I won't be able to run two trips and have to go back. So the brothers called more clever sailors, followed them, and learned more real skills in them. So that we can go to sea by ourselves when we leave them in the future! In addition, these five boat masters also sent more apprentices to serve them, so don't be afraid of hardships and scolding. As long as they return from their studies, they will be of great use in the future! ”

"Brother, don't worry! The younger brother will definitely live up to his brother's high expectations! Li Jun arched his hand, and Tong Wei and Tong Meng also expressed their determination when they saw this.

"I wish my brother a smooth journey, and I will wait for you in the cottage!" Wang Lun smiled at this good man who went to sea in the future to become the lord of a country, and nodded very reassuringly. Wang Lun is still very confident in his ability.

"Good! Everyone is busy, I won't bother! Wang Lun smiled and said to the leaders of the navy. Everyone was busy clasping their fists in return.

Li Jun left Tong Wei and Tong Meng here to receive the personnel at this time, so he invited Hu Cheng to meet the familiar hands he invited, Wang Lun took a few military advisors, and also went to the Juyi Hall, everyone walked on the road, Wang Lun asked Hu Chengdao: "How is your sister now?" ”

"Thank you brother! There are several sisters-in-law who persuade each other, and they are much more cheerful. Last time, I also went to the village of the doctor to thank him for his treatment...... "When Hu Cheng said this, he suddenly hesitated.

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Wang Lun was a little puzzled and asked, "Isn't this a good thing?" Dare you want to go to sea and can't let go of your sister? ”

Hu Cheng sighed and said: "My sister doesn't like to dance knives and guns now, since that time I went to the Huitian camp of the Divine Doctor, I temporarily helped, and I got a few words of praise from the wounded and the Divine Doctor, and now I will go over there as soon as I am free, and I will be tireless in giving the Divine Doctor a hand or something!" Brother, you said that she was a woman who had never passed through the door, and she was always ......"

Wang Lun was stunned when he saw it, and listened to Hu Cheng's meaning, it seemed that Hu Sanniang had become a nurse, and he was still a little happy? Isn't the loss of a loved one and the stabbing fiancΓ© leaving a shadow in her heart? Do you need to rely on this to comfort yourself?

Wang Lun was also a little unsure of Hu Sanniang's meaning at this time, and secretly wanted to wait for time to go over and take a look, so he said to Hu Cheng: "The cottage is full of their own brothers, everyone treats her as a sister, what can you say?" Don't think about it, wait for me to see what's going on, and then we'll talk about it! ”

Hu Cheng sighed, according to what he thought in his heart, he didn't want his sister to show up. It's just that every time I talk to her, she is sullen, and when she sees her reaction, Hu Cheng is afraid that she will be stimulated and told her to return to the distressing state when she first went up the mountain.

Wang Lun was unhappy when he saw him talking about his sister-in-law, and persuaded him all the way, at this time Li Jun also opened his mouth to persuade him, and said: "It's just to help An Shen Doctor to fight, it's not a deviant thing, everyone is a child of the rivers and lakes, who will say anything about her?" Brother, it's better to relax your heart! ”

Hu Cheng sighed, nodded, the three military advisors also persuaded each other, and after walking for a while, Wang Lun saw that he was in a better mood, and opened his mouth to get down to business: "In the evening, I asked Brother Du Qian to take you to the warehouse to see, the porcelain, spinning silk and other goods that the cottage has moved back from the mountain in the past two years are piled up in it, and it has not been touched much, there is a scale of about one or two hundred thousand yuan, you see what goods can be brought out to sea, directly inform Brother Du Qian, he will ask someone to carry it on the ship!" ”

Hu Chengjian said, nodded in response, and just said: "If it is an old thing, the profit may be lower, and the value of the new product is not as high!" ”

Wang Lun smiled and said, "We're just exploring the way this time, and making money is secondary." Besides, these goods are also put away, brother, you can do it! When the time comes, when we gain a firm foothold on Tamna Island, we will be able to traffic goods to Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom in large quantities, and we are afraid that the profits will not come! ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and then everyone walked to a fork in the road, Wang Lun explained a few more words, and Li Jun and Hu Cheng took their leave. Wang Lun was about to return to the Juyi Hall with the three military advisors, when he suddenly heard a strong crossbow sound from the woods on the hillside, Jiao Ting subconsciously pushed Wang Lun to the side of the road and shouted: "Protect my brother!" Before he could finish speaking, he was seen rushing towards the woods. (To be continued......)
