Chapter 39 It turned out to be the Wanli Dynasty

After leaving the Thirteen Islands, it took only 5 days to reach the Twenty-Seven Islands.

The Nanyang class follows the coastline from the southwest of the island to the northeast to a natural concave bay. Numerous buildings surround this concave bay, and it is evident that more than half of them serve the shipyard.

The MSA chose to build a large port and shipyard on 27 Islands because of the structure of this concave bay, which is a natural deep-water port with hills on land that can shelter most of the damage caused by typhoons.

At the same time, because of the proximity of the 27 Islands to the mainland of Dongshan State, the warm current from the land makes the 27 Islands not as cold as the previous 26 Islands, and even in winter, there is rarely a situation where ice and snow cover the entire island. The warm current ensures that the harbor is not frozen, and it is the most natural deep-water ice-free harbor.

I don't know how many years the trees on the island can be used to repair the ship's branches, so the Maritime Administration built a shipyard here.

This shipyard basically does not build ships, and its main function is maintenance and repair.

Although because of this deep-water port and shipyard, the cabinet was furious 5 years ago and had a fierce quarrel with the Maritime Safety Bureau, and even His Majesty was forced to retreat by several cabinet elders. But after the completion of the port and shipyard, the maritime authority has really spent less than half of its annual expenses on migrant workers.

The reason is that the damage to the ship branch is too serious after a long voyage, and if it cannot accept maintenance, from the east coast of Daming to the west coast of Dongshan Prefecture, it is unlucky to be able to scrap a Nanyang-class treasure ship directly.

With the Twenty-Seven Island Shipyard and the Liugui Port Shipyard in Liugui Prefecture, many of the treasure ships that transported the people were maintained in a timely manner, and the service life was guaranteed.

Liu Yifeng, as the head of the people's husband, took the initiative to find the people from the Maritime Safety Bureau after the crew got off the ship to communicate how to arrange the affairs of the people's husband.

"Free to move?"

"Yes, the ship will be maintained for 3 days, and you will live in the warehouse in the harbor for these 3 days, and you will be free to move around the rest of the time."

Liu Yifeng was stunned, along the way, he had dealt with the officials of the Jinzhou Maritime Safety Bureau, the Fusang Maritime Safety Bureau, the Jianghu Maritime Safety Bureau, and the Liuguicheng Maritime Safety Bureau, and basically treated them as prisoners, and they were absolutely not allowed to run around.

How did you get to Twenty-Seven Islands?

"Why? Of course, you have already arrived in Dongshan Prefecture, and everyone on the 27 Islands is in the port or shipyard, and the food is transported from the interior of Dongshan Prefecture every ten days. There is no one in the interior, you have to come back in the end, otherwise you will only starve to death, what are we afraid of? ”

"Besides, you may also come to Twenty-Seven Islands to work as a boatman in the future, what's wrong with letting you familiarize yourself with the environment in advance?"

After speaking, he pointed to a person who was working on the port and said, "He is the man of last year, and he was sent to the city of Zhushan and then sent over, and there may be similar people among you." ”

After chatting a few more words, Liu Yifeng made sure that this little official of the Maritime Safety Bureau did not lie to himself.

Before the Twenty-Eight Islands, they all belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and they had to be held accountable if they lost an official of the relevant maritime bureau.

Starting from the 28 Islands, all belong to Dongshan Prefecture, and the development of Dongshan Prefecture has not yet reached the extent of the Central Plains, unless you are willing to go to the mountains and forests to grab food with wild beasts or be the food of wild beasts, the people can only rely on the Han gathering points to survive.

Therefore, after the officials of the Dongshan Prefecture Maritime Safety Bureau told the people in advance what would happen to the people's husbands, they were not worried at all.

Liu Yifeng continued to ask a few questions and learned about the specific situation of the 27 islands.

It takes 2 days to walk from the easternmost point to the westernmost part of the island along the coastline, and the snow melts halfway up the snow-capped mountain along the coastline, but it is also bare and there is nothing. That is, there is a forest in the plain at the foot of the mountain, and there is a lumber yard next to the woods, and the lumber yard is located in the northeast direction of the port and shipyard of the Twenty-Seven Islands.

Next to the shipyard is the living quarters, about the size of a town, with a few shops and two restaurants, with the focus on a Qinglou that housed more than 100 Japanese slave girls.

"What's the town going to spend on?"

"Of course, it's money." The official of the Maritime Safety Bureau glanced at Liu Yifeng, as if he was looking at a monster.

"That's it, people still use money?"

"Wouldn't it be a mess without money."

"Well, with what money? Versus? Gold? ”

"You've seen silver taels and gold, you're going to pay back silver taels of gold." The official of the Maritime Safety Bureau looked disdainful: "You people, you have also seen Wanli Tongbao, I guess you haven't even seen the treasure banknotes." ”

Liu Yifeng's pupils shrank, and he finally determined that it was still the Wanli Dynasty. He had been speculating this before, but there was no evidence. Now that this Maritime Safety Bureau official has said Wanli Tongbao, it can basically be determined.

The official currency of the Ming Dynasty included Tongbao, which was the copper coin, and the only paper money that carried out the entire Ming Dynasty: the Ming Bao banknote.

After the orthodox dynasty, the imperial court relaxed its control over silver, and silver also became a part of the currency in circulation. However, in the official history, gold has not become a currency, but judging from the words of this Maritime Affairs Bureau, this Wanli Dynasty, gold is also a common currency.

Liu Yifeng didn't pay attention to the other party's ridicule of himself, and after chatting a few words to figure out where they lived and what they were eating, he returned to the place where the portmen gathered.

He found a high place, and after announcing to more than 200 people that they could move freely, as well as the precautions on the island, Feng Shuo directly pulled Liu Yifeng and walked to the corner, where there were other people's leaders.

"You mean, there is a green building!?"

"Yes."

"Do they take money?"

Liu Yifeng used the eyes of the previous Maritime Safety Bureau official to look at him on Feng Shuo. There was no need for him to answer, Feng Shuo and the other leaders already knew the answer.

Except for their own bodies, there is nothing that belongs to them since they signed contracts with various trading houses. Cotton clothes, cotton pants, cotton shoes, commercial houses, sleeping bedding, Nanyang-grade, not to mention money, they have nothing.

Suddenly, these men who were in a state of flux beat their chests and feet, and they were extremely depressed.

Feng Shuo's eyes were rolling wildly, and he peeked at Liu Yifeng with a somewhat empty gaze. Liu Yifeng immediately guessed what he was thinking and glared at him fiercely.

Feng Shuo naturally wanted to take out one or two handcuffs and find someone to sell them for prostitution, but this was absolutely impossible!

They are not out of the control of the Maritime Administration at all, and they are not familiar with the place here, who dares to guarantee that the people here will not report to the police immediately after seeing the handcuffs?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, there are people here who want to buy handguns, how much money can be paid for this small island with a total of more than 3,000 people?

After Liu Yifeng warned Feng Shuo, he left him and went to the town with Lao Wang, Ao Bai, Ni Kantu and Jin Chengyou's 12 Dongyi slaves.

But there's not much to visit, not so much a town as a shipyard and lumberyard living quarters, and there is a simple green house and two restaurants in the center of the town.

Watching from a distance, Song Yingxing led the people from the Maritime Safety Bureau into the restaurant, and he took the old Wang who looked back at the Qinglou and left.

After walking out of the town, Liu Yifeng took a few people to the beach to catch the sea, but although the temperature was already above 10 degrees, the sea water was still cold, and they didn't pick up too many good things.

After returning to the camp, he found that most of the people would come, Feng Shuo and other leaders of the people were not there, only Li Chuangwang Li Hongji was in a daze.

"Li Hongji, what about Feng Shuo?"

"I went to the town to sell my art and earn money for prostitution."

"It's up to them to figure it out."

"I guess I've been holding it for too long."

"What about you? Last time, you didn't go to the Japanese slave girl, didn't you hold it for longer? ”

“……”

"Is it because Hina, I don't know how good a woman is?"

“……”

"Let me tell you, women are made of water, and then that thing is like soaking in a hot spring, warm."

Ni Kantu, Ao Bai and Lao Wang all showed lewd smiles, Kim Seung-woo's Chinese was not yet fully understood, and he looked confused, and Li Hongji fled directly with a red face.

The crowd laughed, but when they were done, they scattered into the camp.

When Feng Shuo and the others came back at night, they all had a sage light on their faces, which made Liu Yifeng very curious: "Did you really make money go to the Qinglou?" ”

"That's it." Feng Shuo's face was proud.

Liu Yifeng noticed that the head of the people was followed by a few Dongyi slaves, all of whom were clutching their chests and staggering towards their cabin.

"How do you make the money?"

Feng Shuo pointed to a people's leader and said, "His idea, the chest is broken with a big stone." ”

Liu Yifeng somewhat understood what happened to those Dongyi slaves: "I warn you, if those Dongyi slaves have any physical problems, and the Maritime Safety Bureau comes to the door, I will find you trouble." ”

The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, big boss, I used to be a street performer, and the stones I looked for looked very explainable, but they were actually very brittle. As long as they hit the right part, they will soon crack and break, and those Dongyi slaves will feel like they have been punched a few times at most, and they are scared. ”

Liu Yifeng glared at him, took Jin Chengyou and walked straight to the Dongyi slaves, and ordered them to pick up their clothes. There were indeed large bruises on their chests, Liu Yifeng touched their chests, asked them how they felt, guessed that there was indeed no risk of fractures or bone cracks, and turned his head to Jin Chengyou and said:

"Go to the kitchen and ask Lao Wang for a water bag, and fill them with cold seawater to cool them."

Liu Yifeng had a wealth of fighting experience when he was studying, and knew that some bruises were likely to expand rapidly if they were ignored. However, as long as the cold compress is applied within 24 hours, the injury often does not expand.

Jin Chengyou and these Dongyi slaves were very grateful to Liu Yifeng, he just waved his hand and left with Feng Shuo.

According to the original plan, there will be a test against Jin Chengyou after going to sea, and he needs to discuss it with Feng Shuo.
