On the main plane, the spring of 1535 came unusually early.

March has just begun, and a warm wind is blowing in the port of Tripoli.

"Why the hell is it so hot so fast! It's really hot to carry these hapless wool on your back. ”

"yes, it's hot! It's so hard work, I really want to sleep in a tent. ”

This warmth made the workers working on the docks feel irritable.

Although the cold was terrible, it was obviously better for the porters working on the docks to be cold.

The wool that is used as a cargo is even hotter on the back.

"Can you afford to buy a camel, a dowry, and a daughter-in-law when you sleep in a tent?!" Of course, hard work also comes at a price, and the foreman urged sternly, "Give me a good job!" When another big ship arrives in the port, whoever complains will not want to do a big job, but can only go and unload the small sailing ship. ”

Several workers hurriedly shut up and quickened their pace, trying to transport the baled camel wool onto the ship, and no one wanted to lose the opportunity to unload the big ship.

Because wages are given according to the number of unloaded, large ships are much more efficient than small ones.

The southern shores of the Mediterranean are covered with war clouds, but the port of Tripoli has unexpectedly prospered, and in the last month, there has been a constant flow of merchant ships.

However, diligence is not in the nature of most people, and there are still many nomads who would rather live a poor but free life than come here to be controlled.

Moreover, the management of these laborers is very difficult, and there are some people who can't endure hardships and leave after a few days.

So in addition to recruiting laborers, Wu Xin also arranged other laborers.

"Be careful not to get sweat on your camel's hair." Fort Stegrenburg was the chief foreman appointed by Wu Xin, and his company was also working, some of the soldiers were also unloading laborers, and some of them were providing maintenance services for the ships. ”

Because of the last time he absorbed a fragment of the plane, the water and grass were greatly enriched, and the variety of livestock raised near the port of Tripoli was greatly increased, and the camels that were extremely useful in the desert were the focus of Wu Xin's attention.

Not only are these creatures important mounts in warfare, but they also provide a little bit of production, and as long as the frequency of shearing is controlled, it will not affect military use.

Although the production was not large, camel hair was a much more valuable textile raw material than wool, so Wu Xin put the soldiers in charge of transporting them, and these soldiers did not receive additional salaries, but the shipowners generally gave a lot of tips.

Fort Steglen never hid it, distributing most of the money to the soldiers, and at the same time buying a small part of some sour plums and fruits, making herbal tea for the soldiers to drink.

And although he himself does not participate in transportation, he never evades vigilance and hard work, no matter how big the sun is, he will not take a cool ride alone, and he can also be fairly punished for petty theft.

The Warrior Banne's one-sided personality and the principle of severe punishment and reward made him a good manager, and he was praised by the owners and captains alike, as well as the soldiers alike.

It was really widely loved, and these soldiers only complained to Wu Xin a dozen times a day on average that Fort Stegren did not allow them to "fully" and "satisfactorily" complete their daily praise of the Lord of the Stars and Moon.

This level is really "loved" for the Xingyue believers.

But Steglenburg himself was not very satisfied with the current situation, and often complained to Wu Xin that the training time of his troops had been cut too little because of the large amount of transportation.

Several other companies had trained more than twice as often as his company, and his company was undoubtedly the weakest of the five companies in the port of Tripoli.

Every time he saw Wu Xin, he had to mention this issue, hoping to transfer the troops out of the port area and avoid being reduced to a second-line army.

But Wu Xin always reassured him with kind words, expressed his understanding of him, and then gave him a broad promise to his request, and the final result was, of course, inconclusive, his troops had less and less time for training, and more and more work to move goods.

Therefore, after discovering that Wu Xin had come to the dock area, Stegrenburg did not have the mentality of being extremely frightened because of the leader's inspection, but was extremely excited to find him.

He saluted Wu Xin rigorously, and then eagerly reminded the old matter: "Your Highness, look at it, today are two large merchant ships of more than 100 tons, yesterday were also two, dozens of small ships, my subordinates are unloading day and night, is this still called the army?" ”

Wu Xin looked at the merchant ships one by one, and was in a good mood, these were his financial resources, he ignored Stegrenburg's question, and just asked: "Have you mastered the methods of transporting marble?" Are all the plans arranged? ”

Marble and camel hair were both highly valued by merchants.

Stegrenburg was not satisfied with Wu Xin's attitude, but in the nature of the Bann warrior, he made serious preparations and returned: "The marble has been cut to the right size, not too small to hinder future construction, not too large to pose a danger to the voyage, and the transport ropes woven from reeds and camel hair have been put in place, and the soldiers will carry the marble on the merchant ships in small teams." ”

"Very good, very good, the first few camel hairs have also received a high price from the merchants, and they all say that our camel hair is very dry and neat." Wu Xin was very satisfied with the arrangement of Steglenburg, "And you see, with the squad as a unit, isn't this training?" Organization and morale, this is the most important thing in the army. ”

"Organization and morale are important, of course, but military skills and cultural learning are also important." Stegrenburg, of course, was not satisfied, "They deserved, like all other soldiers, adequate training, and officers of all ranks should be given the opportunity to read." ”

Stegrenburg never understood that Wu Xin actually hoped that this company, which was basically composed of Xingyue Cultists, would be at the bottom of the various companies in terms of combat effectiveness.

"Oops, they're going to get a chance, they will." When Wu Xin spoke, the big ship also entered the port, "We'll talk about this later, let's go with me to greet the distinguished guests first." ”

"What honored guest?" Stegrenburg looked at the flag flying on the merchant ship, a merchant ship owned by the Medici family, "A cardinal in the dark is visiting?" I don't think I'm the right chaperone. ”

The cardinal of Ciric and the warrior of Bane, of course, are not suitable to meet.

"No, no, no, not the cardinal, but the girl generation." Wu Xin's interest was very high.

"The Girl Generation?" Steglenburg is really unheard, so he didn't react immediately to the name of this famous song and dance troupe in the Mediterranean, "Ah, it's Girls' Generation?!" They're here in the port of Tripoli?! ”

Of course, even a bane warrior has heard of this famous performance troupe. (To be continued.) )
