Daming Haiku

Chapter 97 Rest

Everyone's laughter was that after Xiaotian raised his hand, it stopped abruptly, and everyone immediately calmed down and straightened up again.

"What? Can I make you so happy in just a few days? But the ugly thing is that it's a holiday, which doesn't let you do anything. These three days of morning exercises still have to come out normally, and you have to build a new house for yourself in these three days. In addition, you can honestly choose two helpers to repair the sails on the ship. If you can't repair it within three days. If it's a good new house, then just wait to sleep out!

Adding a fish to everyone tonight is a reward for you. Now you can disband!"

Although it is nominally a three-day holiday, in fact, it still can't rest, but compared with hellish training, it is really nothing. Therefore, such an arrangement does not affect everyone's mood, and Yu Xiaotian announced that everyone will add a fish tonight, which makes everyone happier, so Everyone immediately knelt down on one knee, bowed their heads and responded loudly. This was because of Xiaotian's wave of his men. They dispersed and went straight to the rice bucket. They immediately consciously lined up again and began to cheer for dinner.

Originally, Yu Xiaotian wanted to replace this kind of kneeling ceremony with modern military etiquette, but it attracted the opposition of horse face and others. They thought that such a hand-giving ceremony was really unconform. Daming paid the most importance to respect and inferiority. When the people below saw the people above, it was natural to kneel down and salute, so Yu Xiaotian had to obey the majority. This kind of kneeling ceremony continued to be adopted.

However, after getting used to it, now he also feels good about accepting such etiquette. There is a high meaning, which satisfies his little vanity, so he gradually gets used to it willingly.

After the preliminary completion of the first step of training, Yu Xiaotian discussed with Ma Ying and others in advance. For the time being, he still did not move all these people to Treasure Island. Only a few craftsmen who were about to use now were transferred to Treasure Island first, and the rest of the newcomers as crew continued to stay in the affiliated one. On the island.

And in order to strengthen the control of these people, after soliciting everyone's opinions, Blackhead and Liu Tong volunteered to serve as soldiers on this affiliated island and be responsible for the management of these people.

After Yu Xiaotian thought about it, he agreed to let Blackhead and Liu Tong serve as temporary instructors and send them to the affiliated island to live with these people and take on their management.

This time, Blackhead and Liu Tong have been promoted one level out of thin air. Their status is one step higher than that of other ordinary crew members, and they have become the first-level leaders under Yu Xiaotian. Although their status cannot be compared with Meng Madman, Zhao Mazi and Li Gouzi, they are one level higher than others.

Although it is a little risky to do so, someone must take this kind of risk. To treat these newcomers, they can't let them take care of themselves. There must be reliable people to control them. Blackhead and Liu Tong are both more suitable candidates.

The island attached to Treasure Island has temporarily become their recruit training camp, and then began to build a large-scale construction. It took three days to rebuild two large huts.

Although the hut is only made of rough wood and thatch cut from local materials, which looks very simple, at least there are four walls and windows, at least like a house, not a simple straw shed, providing a minimum of cover for the people living here. Wind and rainproof function.

As for the fact that the Treasure Island has not been idle these days, except for a group of people, especially those who are directly involved in the battle, to go to the island to practice with the newcomers every day, the rest of the people are also very busy.

This time, they traded with the Li family and exchanged a lot of urgently needed materials from the Li family, including various weapons, as well as some grain, iron, cowhide, wood, medicine, etc.

After these things are shipped back, they must be dealt with immediately and properly. Especially here is an island with high humidity. It turned out that they just temporarily built some grass houses and repaired some of the stone houses left on the island, which only solved the problem of temporary residence, but there was no decent warehouse. .

So these days, several old guys such as Mafai and others took some young people to build houses on the Treasure Island. They chose a relatively large stone house left before, and after adding the roof of the beams, they served as a temporary warehouse and stored all kinds of materials in the warehouse.

In addition, two huts were rebuilt for the new blacksmith carpenter as their accommodation. After the blacksmith's family of three came, they did not accept the so-called quarantine like the newcomers, but they also changed their new clothes and arranged for them to wash them carefully.

The blacksmith knew that there was no hope of going back, so he died and lived with his wife and apprentice. Moreover, under the special care of Xiaotian, the people on the island provided his pregnant wife with better food as much as possible. At least they ate much better than before they came, and the women on the island also compared with his wife. Take care of him and basically don't let his wife do anything, which reassured Zhang Blacksmith a lot.

Zhang's resistance before he came here gradually dissipated a lot. After being placed, he began to use the existing tools to help the people on the island work.

Because when Zhang blacksmith was kidnapped this time, he was understaffed and only brought out some of Zhang's tools, but heavy objects such as an anvil could not be brought in, and the stove could not be brought over, so he could only be solved on Treasure Island.

The anvil needs a lot of cast iron. Although they have some iron material at present, they do not have an iron furnace to melt, so they can only temporarily replace it with the existing stone on the island, and the stove is built with stone and mud.

And Zhang's blacksmith muttered that with this simple temporary workshop, he began to repair damaged iron tools, including their knives and guns, harpoons, hook guns and other things, and made some urgently needed nails and other things with iron materials.

After a preliminary inspection, Yu Xiaotian found that he had found that he had found the treasure this time. The craftsmanship of this blacksmith was really good. The iron was exquisite and of high quality, which was very good. When he was free in the evening, Yu Xiaotian chatted with Zhang Blacksmith again.

It turned out that Zhang's blacksmith was originally in Quanzhou and was a blacksmith for generations, but something happened to his family. Zhang didn't want to say anything, but later, after his father died, he abandoned his home in Quanzhou and went to Fuzhou. Because he had no money on hand, he didn't find a suitable place to reopen the blacksmith's shop in Fuzhou. At that time, I went to Dongping Village in Lianjiang County, rented a local rich man's yard outside the village and started a blacksmith workshop.

But he has a small profit, and there are several relatively large blacksmithsmen' shops next to him. His business is not easy to do, and his life is also difficult. During this period of time, someone found that his craftsmanship was good. As soon as the order improved, he was caught here by Yu Xiaotian. Therefore, Zhang Blacksmith was a little worried about this matter. After drinking some wine, he patted his chest and said to Xiaotian:

"If your boss hadn't caught us, my surname would have been Zhang. It wouldn't take much time to become the number one blacksmith in Dongping Village!"

Yu Xiaotian sneered and said while drinking with him, "You think it's too simple! You are groundless. When you first came to Dongping Village, I believe you can't be wrong with your craftsmanship, but have you thought about it? If you did a good job, didn't you rob other people's business? You should know that the strong dragon does not oppress the snake. If you rob other people's business, will they not squeeze you? If you don't offend the local big family, you still can't get along with it! So I caught you, not necessarily hurt you!"

After hearing this, Zhang Blacksmith was stunned for a while and suddenly sighed, "What you said is also reasonable! I said that a few days ago, why did someone always steal my carbon and iron? I guess those companies saw that my business was good and found someone to ruin my business! A few days ago, there was a ruffian holding a hoe I hit. He insisted on saying that I cut corners. At a glance, he knew that it was smashed out with an iron bar. If I didn't change it, he shouted everywhere that my craftsmanship was not good! Maybe it's those families who found someone to frame me!"

Yu Xiaotian laughed and nodded and said, "Look, I'm still right. If your craftsmanship is average, it's okay. However, it's just a person who has just gone to Dongping Village. His craftsmanship is good. Of course, he will rob other people's business. It's strange that they don't harm you! According to you, it seems that you won't be forced to leave in Dongping Village for a long time! So I caught you, but I still helped you!

By the way, I think you are good at craft, so I want to ask you, can you make this thing?

Zhang Blacksmith rolled his eyes, looked at Yu Xiaotian, and shook his head and said, "You, I don't know what to say about you. Are you a good person or a bad person? You are a good person, why do you have to be a thief?

Yu Xiaotian also rolled his eyes and hummed, "Whose mother has a way to live will do this! Let me tell you, I'm forced..."

He said that he had a choice how to force Jiang Baihu to force them, and finally forced them to kill Jiang Baihu and tell Zhang the businessman about going into the business.

After listening to this, Zhang Blacksmith sighed and said, "That's true. Nowadays, officials are not good things. If it were me, I wouldn't be breathed!" That's all right! It seems that you are not too bad people! It's my bad luck to be targeted by you!"

With that, Zhang Blacksmith drank another glass of wine.

"Bear by the way, I just asked you if you could build a bird, but you haven't answered me yet!" Yu Xiaotian put down his glass and asked Zhang the blacksmith.

"No! We have been making iron in Quanzhou for generations. The government is strictly controlled. Only the craftsmen of the government can know how to do it. I won't fight it! If you want me to shoot a knife and gun farm tools, there must be nothing to say, but if you let me do that and don't find someone to teach me, I don't know what to do!" After Zhang's eyes flashed, he shook his head and denied.

Yu Xiaotian was a little disappointed after listening to it, but when he thought about it, he thought that what Zhang Blacksmith said was right. In this era, Birdman was still the most advanced weapon in the Ming Dynasty. Even in the world, it is still relatively powerful weapons at present. It is normal for the government to control stricter. Zhang Blacksmith is not a craftsman in the government, and it is normal that he can't build it, so he can only sigh, and this matter is temporarily put down.

(Today, I finally got on the classification click list, and the red ticket list seems to be on, but I'm still at the bottom for the time being. I'll try harder. Brothers, help me up again and continue to rush up! In addition, I especially thank the two brothers Xinli and Fahao Xingkong for their rewards! Thank you very much!)
