"Hey, I'm lucky today, I can have a little more fishy smell for dinner!" Zhang Hu, a fisherman, said with a smile while struggling to retract the fishing nets upward.

"Yes, with this last one, today's harvest is almost as good as the previous one-and-a-half-day harvest. Wu Ying smacked her lips and reached out to take the fishing tube handed over by her grandson, "If this is left in Daming, the family will be able to celebrate it once." ”

"If I am in my hometown, I can buy several acres of land for a few more harvests like this, but I can pass on the foundation of the family to my descendants! Hey, it's a pity to ......" The fisherman Wen Jili looked longing, and suddenly noticed that Zhang Hu on the side was constantly glaring at him, as if he remembered something, and glanced at Wu Ying embarrassedly, and said nothing.

The Wu family is a Tan family, a lowly family, and they are not even qualified to go ashore, let alone buy land, and can only drift on the ship for the rest of their lives, which also creates their fierce personality and is not afraid of death. Therefore, if the topic of buying land touches the nerves of the Wu family's ancestors and grandchildren, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

Fortunately, Wu Ying's mind was quite open-minded, and his face did not show displeasure, and at this moment, Qian Sanjiang, one of the sailors who had been silently holding the sails, interjected expressionlessly: "No matter how good the harvest is, it is not ours, and there is not even a salary." ”

"That's it! If you have money, you may be able to buy land, look at the land here, it is all fertile soil at a glance, and there are few people on the land, and you are not allowed to buy it now, and it is estimated that you will not be able to afford it when there are more people in the future. Wu Fan hurriedly agreed, firstly, in order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere caused by Wen Jili, and secondly, this was indeed his heartfelt words.

Wu Ying and Wu Xiong obviously showed yearning when they heard this, their eyes were hot and they could roast sweet potatoes, and the Chinese had an unwavering desire for the goal of owning their own land, and for the Wu family, as legal pariahs, this desire, or luxury, was even stronger.

However, the heat in Wu Ying's eyes quickly extinguished, turned into anger, slapped Wu Fan on the head, and scolded: "You ungrateful rabbit cub, you have only lived a few good days, and you don't know what is going on in the east, west, north and south? Who is the one who provides you with food, clothing, and shelter, who let you go ashore, and who treats you for free? If you want to get paid for some fishing, let's get your own fishing boat first!"

He pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, which made "Sang" and "Huai" blush at the same time, and some of the others showed a little shame.

"I know that the Lord has been gracious to me and reinvented...... Can... But it's good to say that it's not a way to squeeze nine big men together, and we will have to marry daughters-in-law in the future!" Zhang Dahai, one of the sailors, argued in a low voice.

"You are in the future, I have been separated from my mother-in-law for a month, what do you say this is called, it is better to have an aunt than not to have an aunt, so I don't have a thought. As soon as he talked about his daughter-in-law, Qian Sanjiang felt depressed, "This is not my idea alone, who has a daughter-in-law who has no idea?"

"We don't expect the imperial court to give us a big house of that kind, we can do it ourselves. Seeing that Qian Sanjiang opened the topic, someone joined in again, venting their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

"Hey, now I can't do it myself, I can't buy land or wood without money. ”

"Even if you have money, you can't necessarily buy it. Whether the court sells it or not, it's another story!"

"You're still energetic, aren't you? I'm a big guy, I haven't studied, and I don't know the big truths, but I know that if everyone thinks only about themselves like you, then you have to pay money to the lord and the hunting team for food, pay money to Doctor Zhang for medical treatment, and pay money to Lord Wang (Wang Dafu) for housing, and the money we earn from fishing is enough to rent a boat?" The captain of one of the fishing boats (the captain of the other fishing boat is Wu Ying, because he has the highest 'seniority', plus two grandsons are strong. Shen Minghe couldn't see it, and shouted.

Seeing that the scene was gradually stiffening, Wu Ying was a little confused about why the situation had become like this, but he still faintly felt bad, and immediately changed the topic: "It's not early, the team leader may be impatient to wait, let's hurry up and go to the intersection to meet the adults, I think the adults will be very happy to see our harvest." ”

The so-called confluence refers to the place where the small river flows into the big river, and there are four fishing boats in Xin'an Town, each with a crew of five people, a captain, and the team leader is responsible for the entire fishing affairs.

"Yes, yes, don't let the team leader wait, hurry up. "I also felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy, so I was busy changing the topic.

"Hahaha, Captain Wu is right, I can't wait to know how the team leader will reward us!" Wen Jili laughed heartily twice, and began to clean up.

......

After meeting the leader, four sailboats laden with fishing goods converge, where they will change to a two-person boat, because the river is too narrow for large boats to navigate.

After the transfer of the fishing goods, twelve small boats sailed into the small river one after another, went upstream, and finally rushed back to Xin'an Town before the sun set.

......

On the fifty-eighth day after the crossing, the weather was cloudy.

The weather is cool, and it's a good time to start construction.

Li Kang led people to the stone mountain next to Xin'an Town and began to select stones.

Although he agreed to use cement to build the city, Li Kang certainly would not use cement all, and cement was not yet the main material, cement was only used as a binder and surface coating.

Because the town can't burn bricks now, the main material of the city wall has to be extravagant and use stones.

Fortunately, with Li Kang's persecution, mining and cutting stones cannot be talked about "abuse of people's power".

Moreover, although Li Kang compromised with reality and gave up the "theory of the uselessness of the city wall", it does not mean that he wants to build the kind of "five-A-level scenic spot" that is high, wide and long, and can even parallel carriages at the top (maybe one will be built in the future when it is wide, and it will be used to collect tickets.) He only needs to build a three-meter-high stone wall to enclose the town, like the courtyard wall on some princely mansions, which can play a protective role and set the role of the sea god needle in the early stage.

In the final analysis, Li Kang is still not very interested in the city wall.

Although others were not satisfied with this result, they could reluctantly accept it, and finally made Li Kang give up the road construction plan, which was too demanding and could only backfire.

On the issue of the city wall, Li Kang was really unhappy, but it also made him realize the potential safety hazards in Xin'an Town.

On the one hand, Feng Wenhan was ordered to carefully reconnoiter to the northwest in case of a surprise attack; on the other hand, Li Kang reluctantly threw the only musket (Li Erdan's) to Zhang Zhang and others to disassemble and study, and summoned two firearms experts in one breath - Bi Maokang and Dai Zi - unfortunately, neither of them unlocked the musket; finally, Li Kang specially gave Yang Pingwei, Ping Zhenqi, Zhang Ji and others a special mission: to find sulfur.

As long as we can enter the era of queuing and shooting, all reactionaries will be paper tigers!

As for those congenital masters, Li Kang doesn't have the confidence to block bullets physically, hit them head-on, go down with a row of guns, and let you be faster than four Bolts, and you have to GG!
