Chapter 59 Tang He's Task

As soon as he heard Zhang Yang say that he was going to look around, Tang He suddenly became energetic: "Brother, let's go to your new house first!"

For the sake of Tang He's strong request, Zhang Yang agreed: "Okay, take me to have a look."

"Brother, when you see it, you will definitely be satisfied. I have tried my best to cover it." Tang He said while leading the way in front of him.

Follow the south road from east to west.

The south is the place for coarse salt purification that is about to begin. In addition to a layer of leafy trees outside, the trees inside have been cut down, and even the roots have been planed up. The ground has been flat, which is very suitable for the placement of production lines.

The trunk has been built a house, and the remaining branches and leaves and roots are dried and neatly stacked on one side for wood splitting.

But this wood splitting is definitely not enough for long-term use. When these are used up, the reeds in the lake can be used as fuel, and firewood can be transported by boat, but the most ideal is to use coal as fuel.

I don't know where there is a small coal mine near here?

Zhang Yang thought about it and followed Tang He to the living area in the west.

There is another scene here. Rows of small wooden houses are neatly arranged. Zhang Yang counted and there are about 50 or 60 houses. These should be the places where the workers live.

Although the house is not big, it is clean, and you can't even see a leaf on the ground. Some of the workers who dragged their families here are waiting for them to come back from work.

At this moment, a five- or six-year-old urchin ran over with a branch in his hand.

"Su Su, you can ride a big horse with A Mao!" With that, he waved the branches in his hand: "Drive! Drive!"

The child's speech is not clear, and even an uncle can't be called well.

"Mao, Mao, you naughty boy, where have you gone..." The voice of a village woman shouted.

Zhang Yang picked up the naughty boy on the ground and looked at his little face carefully: "Tell uncle, how to live here?"

"Of course, I can eat three meals a day now. I'm so full every day that I don't have to sleep hungry anymore." The child said while picking his nose.

"Hey, pay attention to hygiene. You can't wipe this snot casually!"

"Uncle, you are here." The village woman found that her son was on Zhang Yang's side and said timidly that in her eyes, Zhang Yang might be a big man.

"Mao, come down quickly!" The village woman shouted.

Zhang Yang put down A Mao, and A Mao began to run around the house again.

"How old is Mao?" Zhang Yang asked.

"I'm more than five years old." The village woman replied.

"How many children do we have here?"

"About seven or eight!"

Zhang Yang thought for a moment and said, "The children are not young, and it's time to go to school. After a while, I'll find someone to teach them literacy."

The village woman didn't expect Zhang Yang to say such a thing. It was impossible for a child from a poor family to read. She knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, uncle!"

"Get up quickly, here, if you don't like this, you don't have to kneel down easily." Zhang Yang helped the village woman.

The village woman gradually walked away. Tang He asked, "Brother, do you really want them to read?"

"Of course, no matter how hard we are, we can't suffer for our children. No matter how poor we are, we can't be poor in education. They are our hope for the future." Zhang Yang said, "After a while, if Ruo Han is on the island, let her be a teacher for the time being. When our base is further expanded, we will invite a full-time gentleman."

"Big brother is wise, it's really far-sighted!" Tang He sincerely admired it. Brother, if you go north, you will be in front of the house built for you.

Needless to say, Zhang Yang also saw a large house not far away, which is very conspicuous. It is nearly ten feet higher than the house here. Moreover, there are not only a main house, but also a side room. There is a wing on each side of the east and west. Compared with the small house here, this big house can be called a villa.

Open the two wooden doors and Zhang Yang looked at them. In the middle of the yard, the most eye-catching thing was that there was a small flower pool in the middle, in which the delicate peony flowers were blooming freely in the morning sun.

"Dingchen, this house is so big, it's a little wasteful." Zhang Yang said.

I can't tell whether the eldest brother likes it or not. This is his own painstaking efforts. He mobilized most of his labor and took three days to cover it. He thought that he would get a little praise, but the eldest brother was lukewarm.

Push open the door of the room, the table, the chair, and a comfortable large bed, all of which have been built, just waiting for someone to move in.

To be honest, Zhang Yang really likes it here, which is much better than his shabby home. Moreover, it must be his own home in the future. However, it is better to keep everything simple before it is time to enjoy it.

"Brother, everything here is made of the best wood on the island, especially this big bed. It must be very comfortable to sleep on at night." Tang He said flatteringly.

"Remember, don't waste it like this in the future." Zhang Yang said.

Tang He naturally regards this sentence as a compliment to himself. When he is the boss, he naturally speaks well. The implication of this sentence is that he likes it more.

"Let's go to the watchtower." Zhang Yang said.

The lookout is a place to observe the situation around. This place must be paid attention to. Zhang Yang is quite satisfied with Tang He. He is worthy of leading troops to fight, and he is still relatively ** in this regard. Today, as soon as my boat came over, I was found by them in time.

"Dingchen, this safety work must be done well." Zhang Yang told him as he walked.

"Don't worry, I'm the best at this. In the future, I will have more brothers, including bright whistles, dark whistles, and watchtowers." Tang He said.

This guy just wants to lead troops to war. He must be a fierce general in the future.

Soon I walked to the observation platform and stood on a high stone. The situation around me was clear. In the south, Shide and Uncle Liu were directing everyone to work. In the west, several village women were preparing to go to the river to wash clothes. To the north, they had not yet been developed. In the east, warehouses were like treasure basins one by one. Stand on the ground. The lake in the distance, the reeds, the ducks playing in the water, the clouds in the sky...

"Dingchen." Zhang Yang shouted.

"Big brother!"

"Your burden is very heavy. The people you choose must be loyal and never make mistakes. In addition, you should not only monitor the situation outside, but also pay attention to the people on the island. If you find any signs of want to leave, you must control it. If you run out alone, our base will be in great danger." Zhang Yang told him again.

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely pay attention to it. However, in my opinion, no one wants to leave. This place is full of food, warm clothes, work, and money. Who is willing to go out?" Tang and Analytical.

Zhang Yang nodded: "I hope so. I also want to see our base steaming."

"Brother, so you're here!" A voice came.

Zhang Yang looked up and saw that it turned out that Shi Xin had arrived, holding a crossbow in his left hand and a wild duck in his right hand.

"If you don't help the third brother, what kind of wild duck are you going to fight?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Brother, we haven't eaten roast duck for a long time. This time, we finally came to the island and turned around for a long time before we hit one. It's really strange. Where did this wild duck go?"

"I'm also very strange. I often hit wild ducks some time ago, but now there are fewer and fewer." Tang He also said.

Zhang Yang listened and sneered: "You have beaten all the wild ducks away. Wild ducks are not stupid birds. Look, their brothers and sisters here are often pulled out and roasted. Will they come again?" He looked down at the crossbow in Shi Xin's hand and suddenly thought of something.

"Shixin, I'll give you a task." Zhang Yang said.

"Do you want me to work again? I want to eat roast duck. I don't want to work!" Shi Xinsuo's surname began to splash. After a while of relaxation, he was assigned by his eldest brother again.

"If you agree to this job, I will roast duck for you myself now." Zhang Yang said.

Shi Xin swallowed and said, "What kind of work?"

"It's very easy. After going back, just make a few crossbows." Zhang Yang said.

"Okay, no problem," Shixin agreed. Just a few consecutive crossbows, find some suitable bamboo, and it will be ready in a day or two.

"But I want a large one and use it as a long-range weapon on this watchtower." Zhang Yang said.

"How old do you need?"

"It's not big. It's enough for one person to be tall. The arrow is two feet long. When winding, two people need to work together to open the pull rod. The range is right. When shooting up, it can be shot into the surrounding lake to prevent the unknown ship from landing.

Zhang Yang calculated in his heart that it was already relatively high. Throwing down from a high place can maximize the range. Although the crossbow body is not a complex material like a composite bow, it should be able to do it with such a large range.

"Dang," the wild duck in Shixin's hand fell to the ground and was fooled. With such a big crossbow, it will take a long time to cut an arrow!
