Chapter 198 Development of the Base

The wind blew more and more, the sails were bulging, and the banners were fluttering. With the joy of victory, a team of ships entered the base.

The dock is a little small, just a huge rock. After the big ship docked, the small boat docked on the shore next to it.

Liu Ruohan, Shide, Uncle Liu, and other workers have already stood aside. Their eyes have been looking at the familiar ship and the familiar figure.

Zhang Yang slowly got off the boat and came to the crowd.

The first thing he saw was Ruo Han. She has obviously become thinner. These days, after she rose up, Ruohan has been silently worried about herself in the base. Thank you for your hard work.

The third brother Shide, Uncle Liu, is also looking at himself. They have been purifying coarse salt for themselves and creating wealth. With silver, they can organize an army and resist the tyranny of the Tutars.

Lu Xing is also nearby. He is a technical talent. Only with him and Li Bosheng and his own Tianque can he become a reality. His workers are also valuable assets. In their hands, a branch gave birth to the Tianque that they dominated this era.

Behind

, there are many workers who already know that the tars want to come to attack, but under the protection of Zhang Yang, all the invading tars have been destroyed and the base is safe and sound. Now that they have come here, they will be in absolute safety.

Even the families of the workers came to the shore and looked at Zhang Yang.

This situation, as if to welcome the president of the country, almost cheering with flowers. However, the dancing reed flowers are also quite poetic.

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said loudly, "My fellow villagers, brothers and sisters, the tars have all been destroyed!"

From Zhang Yang, it was confirmed again that all the tars who came this time were buried in Desheng Lake, and they suddenly rejoiced.

"Since everyone has come here, this is everyone's home. Everyone is absolutely safe here. If the tars dare to attack again next time, they will be told that they will never come back!" Zhang Yang said loudly.

When people come here, they purify salt, refine iron, and make weapons. Everyone knows what they are doing. Outside, it is a crime of killing the head. However, today's war shows that they are very safe here. What is Tatars? But the top-class people are now all lying on the water of Desheng Lake, and there is no need to be afraid of the tartars.

Pan, Shi Laoer, Shi Laosan and other boatmans were also shaken when they saw such a huge momentum. The Tatars wanted to sneak attack here, but as a result, they were all buried here. Here, it was like an outdoor peach garden. Is that kind of advanced fire was produced from here?

They stood on the shore and dared not approach. Although they are all people, compared with them, I always feel short.

"Well, let's all go back and take your place, otherwise, half of today's pay will be deducted." Zhang Yang said.

Suddenly, people dispersed one after another.

"Come here!" Zhang Yang shouted to the newly recruited boatmen today.

The boatmen came over timidly and stood in front of Zhang Yang. They always felt that the other party seemed to be very tall and had an indescribable momentum.

"You will live here in the future and belong to Bo Sheng for the time being. I have something to do and need your help."

"No problem, I will definitely finish it for the eldest brother!" The boatmen patted their chests and said.

"Sister Pan!" Zhang Yang continued to shout that the only woman in them was Sister Pan.

"Yes." Pan also came over.

"This is Liu Ruohan. She can't do it alone on the island. Just help Ruohan!" Zhang Yang said.

Pan looked at Liu Ruohan and immediately understood something: "Okay, no problem, as long as I don't think I'm clumsy, handing tea and water, and cleaning the room, I can still do it." Liu Ruohan was stunned. Why did Brother Shicheng find an aunt to help himself? Since it was arranged by Brother Shicheng, there must be his reason. "Then there is Sister Lao Pan."

"Shide, order someone to cook first. My people, who have been fighting for a day, are already hungry." Zhang Yang then ordered.

"Yes, big brother." Shide said, "I'm going now."

"After dinner, Shi De, Uncle Liu, Li Bosheng, Lu Xing, you come to my room for a meeting." Zhang Yang said.

"Shixin, lead the team to the western living area for dinner, pay attention to discipline!"

"Yes, big brother!" Shi Xin shouted to the back happily, "Line up, show our momentum, line up and get ready for dinner!"

"Ber Sheng, take them, follow Shi Xin, and get ready for dinner!" The boatmen were hungry in the reeds for a longer time. As soon as they heard that they were eating, their eyes were about to come out.

People perform their respective duties and gradually disperse, leaving only Zhang Yang and Liu Ruohan, as well as the Pan family waiting aside.

"Sister Pan, you can also go to dinner with them!" Zhang Yang said.

"I have to follow the young lady." Mr. Pan said.

Miss? Liu Ruohan was stunned: "Sister Pan, I'm not a rich lady. We are all children from the same poor peasant family. We don't need to be taken care of. You have been on the lake for so long and haven't eaten. Go and eat quickly!" She pulled Pan's rough hand and said.

Pan's heart was hot, "Then I won't bother you two. I'll wait for you after dinner." She followed the boatman and walked to the western living area.

Finally, there are two people left. Liu Ruohan breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Shicheng."

"Well, Ruohan, these days make you tired." Zhang Yang said.

"Brother Shicheng, I'm not tired. I have nothing to do on this island all day long. I'm just wandering around." Liu Ruohan said. Brother Shicheng, you must be careful when you are outside!"

"Don't worry, Brother Shicheng is the nemesis of the tars. Those tars, when they see Brother Shicheng, turn around and run away." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

The sun shines on Liu Ruohan's body, the long eyelashes blink under the sun, and the crimson cheeks are delicate and cute. Three thousand green silks are flying behind the head.

"Brother Shicheng, you haven't eaten yet. Let's go home and I'll make you a lotus seed soup." Liu Ruohan said.

In this way, Zhang Yang did feel hungry. He went home and his home will be here in the future. After going back, I have to send someone to take over my mother. For the time being, it is relatively safe here.

Liu Ruohan snuggled up to Zhang Yang. The little bird was just like a person. How many times has she been looking forward to the arrival of Brother Shicheng. Today, she finally waited. She felt that she was waiting longer than the imperial concubines. However, for the sake of Brother Shicheng, she Yes, I am.

Walking on the ground on the island together, Ruohan felt very down-to-earth and comfortable. She hopes that she can go on like this all the time. Unfortunately, it's impossible.

At the doorstep of the familiar home, he was no longer alone in the big yard. Its male master finally came back.

Liu Ruohan ran into the room quickly, arranged Zhang Yang on the chair, and went to the kitchen to work by himself.

Zhang Yang couldn't sit still and looked around. He was very strange to his house.

He walked into the inner room and suddenly saw a pair of unprepared red shoes beside the bed, on which the word "happy" was densely embroidered with thin thread.

Zhang Yang suddenly had a throbbing in his heart: according to his mother's arrangement, this Spring Festival will hold a wedding for herself and Ruohan. Ruohan has never urged herself, and she has been silently setting up her dowry.

This made Zhang Yang feel guilty that he married Ruohan. However, he had been busy and forgot about it for a long time. It became Ruohan who married himself and owed her too much.

He walked into the kitchen, and Ruohan was busy in it. On the stove, the lotus seed soup in the casserole was already bubbling, emitting a seductive fragrance.

Zhang Yang walked over, stretched out his hands, and hugged Ruohan from behind.

"Brother Shicheng, stop it," Liu Ruohan was overjoyed, but his face was calm: "You haven't eaten yet. I'll cook for you quickly."

"Let me eat you first." Zhang Yang's lips had come close to Ruohan's beautiful face and kissed him affectionately.

Liu Ruohan's cheeks turned red, but he also turned his head and leaned over his cherry mouth, refusing to welcome him.

The lotus seed soup is still smelling with a seductive fragrance.

After dinner, Zhang Yang gathered everyone to discuss the development of the base.

"Brother, it's really fun to beat the tars this time. If we give the people in our base more Tianque, we will definitely be able to beat the invading tars and howling." Li Bosheng said first. Since Yuan Heng left, there are only five or six poles in the base. Most people are using spears during training.

Li Bosheng made a great contribution. Naturally, he also wanted to get some good things from the eldest brother. Tianque was supervised by him, but all the Tianque have been handed over to the eldest brother. For like a waiter in a restaurant, he had to give it to others with fragrant dishes. What's more, this time, the eldest brother also After giving him more than a dozen boatmen, he figured out that the eldest brother must want to take them and patrol the reeds to increase more warning time. Fortunately, he just went out to meet him this time. If he was really touched by the tar, I'm afraid the consequences would be very serious.

"If the production capacity of Tianque increases again, if it can produce 50 pieces a day, I will give you the first equipment." Zhang Yang said.

Li Bosheng was immediately speechless. He worked overtime and squeezed these blacksmiths, about ten or fifty a day? If you don't bring in more blacksmiths, it's just a fantasy.

Lu Xing sat aside and didn't say anything. He didn't follow the eldest brother for a long time. He was very satisfied that he could be so heavily used, and he didn't mention any requirements.

"Tianque, the temporary production capacity is not high, so we have to equip the troops and protect the base first. We need to think of other ways."

What method? Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at Zhang Yang.

"Ber Sheng, I remember that when you first came to the base, you told me that you could transform the reeds around you again?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Yes, big brother, nail a dark pile under those useless waterways," Li Bosheng suddenly realized: "Big brother, I understand."

"The reason why all the tars that can be attacked in the future can be repelled this time is mainly due to Bo Sheng's familiarity with the reed swing. He uses the reed swing to protect us and attack the enemy. This tactic is used very well, but it can be improved. We should let the tars retreat in the difficulties. We can't break into the reeds at all. Don't be like this. Next, I heard that two small boats successfully broke through the reed swing and almost hit the base?

Shide nodded. If it hadn't been for the place where the dark pile was nailed, the tars were trapped there, and the tars were beaten away under a few shots. Now I think about it, it's so close. If the tars come a little more, it's likely that they can really hit the island.

"My initial idea is to completely transform this reed, not only to confuse the enemy, but also to attack the enemy." Zhang Yang began to talk about his plan: "On the useless water road, nail dark piles, and on those useless waterways, do some tricks. We have inexhaustible bamboo. For example, we can use bamboo to make a row of fence-like bamboo guns, and then use bamboo with a good surname to make a big slingshot. Once the enemy enters, Touch the mechanism on the lake, then the bamboo platoon can be launched and kill all the enemies of a ship. Zhang Yang said while making a gesture.

In the middle of the words, Li Bosheng understood that, brother, this move is fierce enough. You don't have to do it yourself in the future. Just use this mechanism to wipe out the intruder. He has begun to think about how to arrange these things.

There are several places where there is a dead end. There, bamboo rows are arranged on three sides, and dark piles are not nailed under the waterway. The tars broke in and just wiped them out with these things.

Li Bosheng showed a proud smile on his face, and he dared to think about the reeds!

"Ber Sheng, I'll leave this task to you. You must do it beautifully." Zhang Yang said.

"Yes, big brother, no problem." Li Bosheng was very happy when he thought of the tattar touching the dark pile. As a result, there were more horrible killers waiting for them.

"In addition to these, I will order Tang He to send people to keep patrol on the lake. Desheng Lake is our territory. We will defend it carefully inside and outside. Once the Tatars come to attack, Tang He will quickly lead the team to support." Under layers of protection, it is impossible for the tars to make a sneak attack.

Everyone nodded one after another. The eldest brother was really thoughtful. With these protections, the base is really solid.

Zhang Yang looked at Shide and Uncle Liu next to him and said, "Shide, how is the coarse salt purification here?"

Shi De said sadly, "Big brother, since you hit the Baiju salt farm, we have not introduced coarse salt. Now, we have stopped working and waited for coarse salt to be shipped in again. I thought the eldest brother had forgotten. Those big salt farms produce so much salt. When will they be shipped? "?"

This time, the salt farm was captured, but the salt people put down their work and joined the uprising army. Therefore, the work of the salt farm has come to a standstill. Except for some salt stored in the salt farm, there is indeed no coarse salt to purify so far.

"This coarse salt can be solved immediately. My idea is to purify our coarse salt and move it to Dingxi Salt Farm." Zhang Yang said.

Originally, it was planned to transfer only Shide, but after careful consideration, Zhang Yang felt that it had a greater advantage to move the whole assembly line.

As soon as he said this, he immediately shocked everyone: What is the eldest brother going to do? Move the assembly line here to Dingxi Salt Farm?

"Brother, we have done a good job here. Why do we have to go out again?"

"That's right, Shicheng, the workers here have taken this place as their home. Now, why are they moving again?" Uncle Liu also asked.

"There are three advantages to doing this. First, at the beginning, we set the purification of coarse salt here. Every time, we have to use the killing port to transport crude salt and concentrate salt away, which is very wasteful. After arriving at the salt farm, the crude salt is produced and can be processed directly. In this way, the round-trip transportation link is reduced and the production efficiency is improved. We don't have to transport it back." Zhang Yang said.

This statement is very correct. Everyone knows that it is indeed a waste to toss back and forth.

"Second, we have a salt farm, and all the coarse salt is at our disposal, so if we want to expand the scale, the base will be a little small. Moreover, here, the firewood used to dry the salt water also has to be transported from the outside. After moving to Dingxichang, human and material resources are very easy to obtain, which is conducive to our further development. Zhang Yang continued.

"Brother, our method of coarse salt purification must be kept secret. When it comes to the salt farm, can you ensure that our method will not be leaked?" Shi De asked.

"I have also considered this. Dingxichang has a tall wall. I plan to open up some places here to select some reliable people and join our coarse salt purification. Moreover, the assembly line is carried out separately. Each process is handled by a special person, and they are isolated from each other. In this way, they If you are only familiar with one link and can't touch other links, you don't have to worry about leaking secrets. All those who participate in our work, his family, follow them to the salt farm to live together, specializing in a living area, just like now. The outside of the salt farm is guarded by my team. Zhang Yang said.

His meaning is obvious. Although he moved out of the base, the secrecy work is the same as here. He chooses to work on the assembly line to earn money, and his freedom is also restricted to ensure that the secret will not be leaked. It is also normal. Anyway, it is voluntary to come here to work to make money, so he also needs to accept these constraints.

Zhang Yang saw that everyone had no objection, and then said, "Third, after the coarse salt purification assembly line is moved out, we have a larger place to make weapons. The output of Tianque must be increased as soon as possible."

"There must be more blacksmiths." Li Bosheng said.

"I will solve this blacksmith's problem as soon as possible." Zhang Yang said, "There is only one function after the base, that is, to continuously provide qualified Tianque for the team, which is our top priority."

"Where are the blacksmiths? Xinghua blacksmiths are almost all brought by us." Li Bosheng muttered.

Zhang Yang smiled and said nothing. Xinghua is gone, but there are many other places, such as Taizhou City.
