Chapter 129 New Problems

The Spring Festival on Treasure Island was quite lively. Yu Xiaotian's opponent was generous. Everyone gave a red envelope with a different amount of broken silver in the bread. Even the women on the island gave red envelopes, which made everyone happy.

Before the festival, with the joint efforts of everyone, a lot of huts were set up in the stockade, and the personnel were arranged in the stockade.

Under Xiaotian's first-hand plan, the houses were arranged in an orderly manner and cleaned everywhere. In order to highlight some festive atmosphere, two red gauze lanterns were hung on the gate of the village, making Treasure Island look happy.

The people on the island, regardless of age and young, are very happy after getting the red envelopes. Even the newcomers did not fall behind this time, which makes these newcomers completely relieved and no longer feel uneasy. They are worried about whether they will be bullied when they get here.

And this time Yu Xiaotian brought back five * from the outside, which fundamentally solved the problem of men's desire for women on the island. A special place was arranged on the island to hand these five * to Li Gouzi for management.

Yu Xiaotian also promised five*. As long as they work here for three years, if they want, they can redeem themselves and find a man to marry. If they don't want to stay, they can do it for another two years, and then give them a sum of money to send them back to the land to find someone to marry.

These * were forcibly sent here by the Li family this time. Although they were not happy and worried when they came here, they found that the pirates here were not as bad as they thought. Although they still wanted to be bitches here, there were also rules here that did not throw them to the gangs arbitrarily. It's ruined.

Even this very man-looking boss took the initiative to make a time agreement for them to give them a look forward to, so these * all felt at ease and began to receive guests. Three years was not too long, and they survived. At that time, they could be good. If they wanted to go back to the mainland If you work for another two years, you can take a sum of money back to be good, which is also a way out for them to be sold into prostitutes like this.

Over the whole, since Yu Xiaotian came here with the small Huangdao people, although their Treasure Island has experienced some setbacks, they are still happy on the whole. In half a year, the population of their island has reached hundreds, and there are more than 70 people who can get on the boat alone. More than twice as much as they used to be.

In addition, after Yu Xiaotian's efforts, the island has now also searched for blacksmiths, carpenters, boatmen, boatmen, a half-hanging cobblers and three self-cultivated full-time gunpowder. There are also more than a dozen people on the island. At present, they can solve many things on the island by themselves, no longer like at the beginning, even a The nails are gone, so you can either pull them out on the boat or go to the land to buy them.

What makes these guys happier is that there are more and more women on the island. Now there are more or twenty women, plus five new *, so that these guys can finally smell the fishy smell, which makes them happier than anything else. They are like flies seeing blood. They want to go if they have nothing to do. Smell the fishy smell.

If it hadn't been for Yu Xiaotian's rule, everyone would have only been given two opportunities a month to get fishy for the time being. If he has merit, he could be rewarded. Otherwise, he would have been busy enough.

So during the Spring Festival, Yu Xiaotian gave everyone a three-day holiday to make them lively and relax. Taking advantage of these three days, Yu Xiaotian himself was not idle and gathered Liu Laoliu and several soldiers to tell them about the conflict between the mixed dragon and the shark.

Yu Xiaotian told these people that they were likely to be involved in this matter after the Spring Festival. In order to be safe, they should practice and prepare for the war after the holiday. Even if they just cheered, this is also a rare opportunity to observe a large-scale maritime conflict. In case they need to take action, they You also need to have more ability to protect yourself.

After listening to this, although these leaders felt that it was a little thankless to help shark Zhang Hu, they still accepted Yu Xiaotian's arrangement and rubbed their hands one by one. After the holiday, they began to practice with their subordinates.

Yu Xiaotian took time and took several boatmen to choose a place outside the water village as the place to repair the ship after the Spring Festival. At the same time, Guo Fu, the boatman, took his apprentice and son to inspect the bird boat taken from Zhoucheng.

Guo Fu is indeed a little good at ship repair and shipbuilding. After looking at the broken ship, he said to Xiaotian, "Big master, I have seen this ship!" Although the hull is not lightly damaged, it has not been repaired yet. The hull, keel, rib and compartment on it are basically strong, and the injured can also be repaired. There is no problem in blocking the leaking cracks!

It is necessary to find a way to tow the ship ashore and fix it to start construction, but there is no dock or platform here. I'm afraid it's not easy for such a heavy ship to be dragged up!"

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian laughed and said, "The geology here is still hard. We can lay a slide on the shore, and then add a pulley set with a winch. It doesn't take many people to drag the boat up. This is not a big problem!

I think that when I was with more than 20 brothers in the northern Yellow Island, I also repaired the boat. The boat I was using was trying to drag it to the shore. Now we have so many people, and there are more guys. What's the problem with dragging this boat up? As long as you can repair it, do it quickly after the Spring Festival and repair the ship as soon as possible. As long as the boat is repaired, I will get a reward!"

Guo Fu nodded quickly and said, "I'm very grateful to be taken in by the big boss. How dare I think of rewarding you! It's our job to do things for the big master. If the big master can pull the boat up, then the rest of the things will be easy to do. Small guarantee, as long as all kinds of materials are enough, we can definitely repair the ship!"

Although the island was having a holiday, Guo Fu still took his apprentice and son and began to prepare. With the help of the poor carpenter on the island, they began to make various ship repair tools. Even Zhang, a blacksmith, did not rest and followed them to help build some iron tools.

After Zhang's blacksmith arrived here, he is in a good mood now. His wife is pregnant. Yu Xiaotian takes good care of his wife. He raises a limited number of chickens on the island and lays one egg for his wife every day. According to Yu Xiaotian, pregnant women should pay attention to nutrition, and in addition, he promises to give him old every day. My mother-in-law provided some fresh fish to nourish her body.

Zhang is very satisfied and even grateful for Xiaotian's special care for their couple. Such care is difficult even when he worked as a blacksmith on land. Not long after he arrived on the island, his wife's health was obviously much better. It has also moistened a lot.

Seeing that his wife was about to give birth after the Spring Festival, Yu Xiaotian also specially asked Zhao Mazi's wife, who had birth experience, to be his wife as a midwife and was ready to give birth for his wife at any time.

All this reassured Zhang's blacksmith. He worked very hard all day long, constantly creating all kinds of things for the people on the island and repairing all kinds of weapons.

In this ship repair, Zhang blacksmith also swung his arms to build an iron pulley group according to Yu Xiaotian's sketch. With this kind of thing, when pulling the ship to the shore, it will save more energy, so a few days after the year, all kinds of preparations were ready.

A two-track parallel wooden slide was laid on the beach, and a cushion was added underneath to support the weight of the ship and ensure the stability of the slide, including the platform shelf supporting the ship, which was also quickly ready to be pulled to the shore.

But at this time, Yu Xiaotian found a new problem that puzzled him, that is, in order to ensure the smooth landing of the ship, and the geology here is not hard enough to pull the ship to the shore by laying rolling wood below like last time on Dahuangdao. In order to be safe, in the end, they could only use a slide to The ship is pulled ashore. First, it is smoother when the ship comes ashore. If you are a little careless, it may damage the keel and make the ship tilt sideways. Second, after the ship comes ashore, you can easily pull the boat to the simple platform to facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of the bottom of the ship.

However, it seems that there is no problem, but there is a problem. They want to use the slide to pull the shore of the ship, so the friction between the hull and the slide will be very large. In addition, there are some sea creatures on the hull, which is even more difficult to do. Under normal circumstances, they need to apply a lot of grease to lubricate the path. Only then can the boat be pulled up. Otherwise, the hard pull is likely to destroy the slide, and the pulley group and winch will be damaged because of too much resistance.

So if you want to pull the boat ashore, you need a lot of oil to lubricate the slide, but what Jinyin Island lacks the most is oil. They usually eat here, basically using boiling method, and rarely use cooking oil to fry like in later generations.

And oil is a relatively valuable thing in this era. Yu Xiaotian has never thought of purchasing a large amount of edible oil to improve food, so there is not much oil reserve on Treasure Island, so there is no way to lubricate the slide.

Looking at the well-equipped slide and the simple platform, Yu Xiaotian also scratched his head after listening to Guo Fu's words and wanted to pull hard, but he was afraid of damaging the hard-wondo. In addition, he was also afraid of damaging the pulley set and winch he had finally made.

After Zhao Mazi knew about it, he proposed that he go to Dalian Island again and go to the Li family to collect a batch of oil, but this would cost a lot of money.

Yu Xiaotian stood by the sea, thinking about how to solve this problem as soon as possible. For a moment, he had no clue. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the sea and saw a column of water mixed with water mist, spraying from the sea, and then a huge body flashed on the sea.

Today, I saw an old friend Hulu Brother with a huge reward. I'm really grateful! Thank you very much!)
