Chapter 49 If you become a sailor, you have to grab it

Houguan Shipyard has a big problem. After being robbed by Su's thick legs last time, the completed ship was basically robbed, and the rest were still semi-finished products in the workshop. Even the materials for repairing the ship were robbed a lot, and many skilled craftsmen were also taken away. Although before Sun Shao came, he had done his best to recover from the sea. However, compared with Sun Shao's last appearance, he still lost a lot, and the situation was much more serious than Sun Shao expected.

Yuehai was very ashamed. He was scolded by Yu, but he didn't reply a word, stuffing his head, like sitting on a needle. This time, General Zhenhai was demoted to Lieutenant Zhenhai, who belonged to Sun Shao's subordinates. He had no objection at all. Who made himself incompetent? If it hadn't been for Sun Shao in the last naval battle, he would have been beaten down by the ant tactics of the mixed river dragon and Zhou Qun. If it's a disparity in strength, it's a little reasonable, but even the shipyard has been taken over, which is really humiliating.

"Sir, don't scold him. The Supreme has punished him. Now let's consider how to restore the production capacity of the shipyard as soon as possible. Sun Shao stopped Yu Fan, who was scolding vigorously. Yu rolled his eyes and said very awesomely, "What's the difficulty? Please give me a month, and I can make the shipyard prosperous again."

Sun Shao is very happy. This ginger is still old and spicy. Yu Fanniu is not relying on the old to sell the old. He has the confidence.

"However, there is one thing I have to declare in advance." Yu turned away his smile, looked at Sun Shao, and said hesitantly, "It's for the benefit of others to ask for help."

"Is it beneficial to divide people?" Sun Shao understood a little. Lu Ji chuckled and smiled sarcastically, "Sir, do you want to benefit now? Isn't it a little too urgent?"

Yu stared at Lu Ji: "What do you know? Although my Yu family has some industries, how can my family restore the strength of the shipyard in such a short time? If I want to recover as soon as possible, I can only ask the other companies to help together. I can't do anything good, but others have no reason to help for nothing, right?

Sun Shao nodded repeatedly: "Sir, what kind of benefits do they want to help?"

Yu turned his beard and thought for a moment: "I'm going to talk to them about the specific conditions, but after this difficult time, they will take up more or less of the sea business to Jiaozhou." With that, he glanced at Sun Shao. Sun Shao is the strongest seaman in Jiaozhou now. With the current trend, he is likely to dominate the sea of the East China Sea. If Huiji's family doesn't want to be crushed by Sun Shao one by one, they will join hands with Sun Shao, but if they want to get a share of the pie from Sun Shao, can Sun Shao agree? This time the shipyard was robbed. Yu Fan thought it was a good opportunity. Everyone helps each other for mutual benefit. If I help you get through this difficult time, you can't get any benefit at all.

However, he is not sure. Who doesn't want to be a dominant family? The profit here is amazing. Once there are others competing, and there are a few others. As long as there is a competition, the profit will shrink significantly. Yu Fan understood these truths, so he wanted to get Sun Shao's consent in front of everyone, otherwise Sun Shao would repent in the future. He was not a person inside and outside.

Sun Shao pondered for a moment. He vaguely guessed Yu Fan's thoughts, but he was not afraid that Huiji's family would divide his profits. He believed that he had enough advantages. He is worried about another problem. If he has a good relationship with Huiji's family, will he cause Sun Quan's concern? Now his wife and children are all in Jianye. His great escape plan can't be implemented for the time being. Although the bridge is sure and tells him not to worry, the bridge did not say the reason. How can she know that she didn't comforted him? In that case, the better his battle, the more worried Sun Quan will be. After acting for so long, the last performance was ruined. Isn't it the same as a famous director's play: premature ejaculation?

"Sir, this matter can be discussed, but I can't give you a specific answer now. Well, you invite these families here. Let's discuss in detail how to divide the profit, okay?"

Yu turned his head and shook his head: "It's not that I don't agree, but most of Huiji's families are in Yuyao and Shanyin. It's thousands of miles away from here. It's about a month to come and go, and the time doesn't wait for people."

Sun Shao suddenly realized that in addition to the good port conditions, this Houguan shipyard is actually a wild place. There is no big city for two or three hundred miles nearby, let alone a strong family. The powerful families in Huiji County are all near Qian Tangkou. When they came, they took advantage of the ride and walked for more than ten days. If they tossed back and forth, they really couldn't catch up with the time. There would be a southeast wind in April and May.

Yu Fan saw that Sun Shao hesitated and thought that he was reluctant to give up, so his face was a little ugly. Shen Xuan saw that he was going to be angry again, and hurried forward and whispered a few words. Yu Fan suddenly realized and pondered for a moment: "If the general can trust me, I will definitely handle this matter properly for the general, and I will not teach the truth."

Sun Shao looked at Yu Fan and made up his mind. Although Yu Fan had a bad temper and was not very popular, his strength was there. If he could be pulled over, he would be a strong assistant. In that case, let's make a bet.

"Of course I believe in you, sir." Sun Shao straightened up and said with a smile, "Well, since it is impossible for Houguan Shipyard to complete all the tasks, I will let Sizhen go with you with the drawings. The conditions are negotiated with them. After the negotiation is negotiated, they will process it on the spot. I will ask someone to set off with the warship that needs to be modified. If it goes well, they have processed the parts, and the warship should be able to arrive.

Yu Fan was a little surprised. He only wanted to authorize Sun Shao to give him a range, but now Sun Shao's power is too great, which directly makes him fully responsible, which makes him a little unbearable. But then he thought that since Sun Shao trusted him, how could he be afraid of taking responsibility? He raised his head, arched his hand, and answered sighingly, "Well, I will live up to the general's order."

"Please, sir." Sun Shao got up and saluted, and then turned to Lu Ji and Zhao Shuang and said, "Mr. Zhong Xiang went to solve the problem of the ship. I asked you two to help me with this measurement problem. Sizhen, you take the improved Sinan and give it to the two gentlemen.

Ge Heng answered and turned around and took out a box about a square foot long and put it on the case in front of Sun Shao. Lu Ji and Zhao Shuang looked at each other and surrounded them curiously. Yu Fan was also very curious. Si Nan had seen it, but he had never seen something like this.

The box is about a foot square and an inch high. In the middle is a pool with a diameter of eight inches. The pool is full of water. A slender diamond-shaped sheet floats in the water, passing through the middle by a thin silk thread. One end is painted red, and the other end is still black. At the bottom of the pool is a silver-white dial, marked with a direction. What surprises them most is that the box is sealed with a piece of glass, slightly blue-green, but clear and transparent.

"Where did this glass come from? Such a piece is worth about 10,000 yuan, right? Yu looked at Ge Heng's eyes, which were like the eyes of an old man who looked at the prodigal son.

"I don't know." Ge Heng directly ignored his question and pointed to the two small horizontal water droplets next to him and said, "These two bubbles are used to indicate whether Sinan is flat. This bubble is in the middle, indicating that this thing is flat, and this bubble is in the middle, indicating that the north and south are flat, and the two bubbles are in the middle at the same time. This Sinan is level. There is a screw foot below, which can be adjusted in height. With this Si Nan with this board, you can draw..."

Ge Heng explained in detail how to use a set of tools. When he looked up, he found that the eyes of Yu Fan, Lu Ji and Zhao Shuang were a little strange. He didn't know why and touched his face awkwardly: "What's wrong?"

"You did all this?" Yu turned the first to react and said with a surprised smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and I have made progress again. Although these tools look simple, they are very exquisite. Using this to measure and draw, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Not bad, not bad, I haven't delayed my skills in the past few years.

Ge Heng blushed when he was praised by Yu. He was embarrassed to say that these were what he did, but most of his ideas came from Sun Shao, but Sun Shao didn't let him say that he had to plunder people's beauty. For him, who was not good at words, this was really a little ashamed.

"It's just that this thing is worth a lot. It probably can't be made in large quantities, right?" Lu Ji said with some worry, "The general has arranged 50 people to study. If it's too little, it's slow to get familiar with it."

"Don't worry, sir, although this thing is a little expensive, it's still worth it." Sun Shao waved his hand disapprovingly: "Money is used. As long as it is valuable, it is worth it." He then said another sentence that made Lu Ji and others stunned: "Fifty Sinan are ready, but Qianliyan can't match so much. In addition to the generals, there are more than 20 left, so they can only use one together for the time being. But you can rest assured that the craftsmen are stepping up the time to make it. When you are proficient, you should be able to complete it.

Rich, this vertical is really rich. There are more than 20 rare things like Qianliyan, and they are not satisfied. Lu Ji and Yue Shuang suddenly felt that the burden on them was heavy. Not to mention anything else, they said that they could not afford the configuration of these 50 people without a daughter. The more money Sun Shao spends, the greater his hopes on it, and the heavier their responsibilities will naturally be.

"General Yue, the safety of several gentlemen will be handed over to you. It doesn't matter if the shipyard is robbed again, but if there is any problem with their safety, I'm the only problem for you." Sun Shao said to Yuehai with a smile. Although his tone was relaxed, the meaning in the words was very harsh. "Don't say that you, the captain of Zhenhai, will be removed again. I'm afraid that your head will not be guaranteed."

Yuehai's scalp was numb. Just now, he had seen Sun Shao's attention to Lu Ji and others. Now that he was warned by Sun Shao again, how could he not be careless? He got up and arched his hand and saluted deeply: "The last general is willing to assure the general that as long as I have a breath across the sea, you will not lose one. A little hair."

"It's good, but I hope you can all live well." Sun Shao waved his hand and motioned Yuehai to relax: "If this battle is fought well, you can not only be a general of Zhenhai, but you may be able to show off the power of the South China Sea in the future."

"Ae." Yue Hai was excited and answered loudly. It is one thing for an official to return to his post. Being able to fight is more in his mind. Sun Shao's words can be said to have been a point in his itch.

Su's thick legs greeted the village gate in person and shouted from afar, "Mr. Shen, why don't you send someone to inform me, so that I can send someone to pick you up. Look, how rude it is.

Shen Xuan smiled and gave way to Sun Shao behind him. Su was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and suddenly patted his head: "Oh, I'm really stupid. Since the general's ship is coming, the general has naturally arrived in person. Excuse me, excuse me." After saying that, he knelt on one leg and raised his fists above his head with his hands: "General Su Yu, meet General Henghai."

It turned out to be Su Yu. Sun Shao finally heard the real name of Su's thick legs for the first time.

"General Su, please get up." Sun Shao smiled, stepped forward to hold up Su's thick legs, looked up and down, and said with a smile, "General Su has been looking good recently. How have you been in the past few months?"

"With the blessing of the general, I haven't been so nourished since I became a pirate." Su's thick legs were red, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "General, these men can really fight. With their help, I am invincible."

Behind him, several pirate guards dressed up with Zhao Xiu stood in a row and knelt down to salute: "Young master."

"Very good." Sun Shao looked at the first batch of cronies he had cultivated with satisfaction and helped them up one by one: "Thank you for your hard work."

"I dare not." Zhao Xiu said happily, "General Su is very good to us. The brothers cooperated and fought smoothly. It's just a pity that I couldn't drink the little master's one-monthly drink.

"Hahaha..." Sun Shao laughed and patted Zhao Xiu on the shoulder with his big hand: "Don't worry, your mother and son are safe. It's all right now. Although I didn't drink the full moon wine, you can't miss the week.

"That's natural." Zhao Xiu smiled happily. He turned his head and looked at the other people with joy and shouted, "Brothers, we have to prepare a generous gift for the little master at that time."

"Dare not to obey." Several men shouted in unison.

Su's thick legs led the way, led Sun Shao into the main hall, and asked Sun Shao to sit down. Sun Shao was not polite and sat straight in the main position. Su's thick legs and Wei Ping sat on the left, and Zhao Xiu led several brothers to sit on Sun Shao's right hand. After a few gossips, Su's thick legs glanced at Wei Ping with his eyes. Wei Ping got up and walked to the middle and gave a salute: "General, please allow me to report the recent war to the general."

"Hmm." Sun Shao nodded and put away his smile.

After the last naval battle, Sun Shao left a boat for Su's thick legs, and Su's thick legs were a little embarrassed at first. But when he opened the cabin and saw that there was a whole ship of ordnance inside, he immediately understood what Sun Shao meant. The pirates in the East China Sea were hit hard by Sun Shao and Yuehai this time, and about one-third of the manpower was lost. More importantly, the smartest mixed river dragon Zhou Qun was killed by Sun Shao on the spot. The East China Sea has fallen into a chaotic situation without a leader. And Su's thick leg did not take advantage of the fire because of his righteousness, so Sun Shao did not treat him badly and gave him a ship of ordnance. Of course, he wanted him to take this opportunity to conquer other pirates in the East China Sea and expand his strength. His strength is not bad in the first place. Now he has Sun Shao's sponsored standard ordnance, which is even more like a tiger adding wings. Naturally, he is more confident in dealing with those pirates with low morale. Therefore, he didn't think much about it and accepted Sun Shao's kindness.

Then it's still to surprise him more. When he began to carry out Sun Shao's intention, Zhao Xiu and others who escorted the ship showed their identity to him. With the tacit cooperation of both sides, they successfully annexed several groups of nearby pirates, and then they led Su's rough legs to attack the Houguan shipyard. Although he won the battle across the sea, he also suffered a lot of losses. Besides, no one expected that Su's rough legs were so bold that he dared to attack the shipyard. All of a sudden, he was killed and more than 300 large and small ships were taken away. With these ships, Su's thick leg strength increased greatly, and the speed of annexing other pirates increased greatly. In two months, he became a well-deserved king of the East China Sea. Not only did the sailors of Houguan Shipyard dare to do anything to him, but even Lv Fan, the general of Pingnan, suffered losses in his hands. In a fierce battle on Pingwang Island, although Lv Fan saved more than 300 merchant ships, he suffered heavy losses and no longer dared to fight head-on with Su's thick legs.

Their victory in the East China Sea completely cut off the business road in the East China Sea, forcing Sun Quan to use Sun Shao again and let him lead troops to counter the rebellion. Lv Fan and others were still waiting to see Sun Shao's jokes, but they didn't know that Sun Shao had made arrangements long before he returned to Jianye.

When Sun Shao decided to return to Jianye from Jiaozhou, he estimated that Sun Quan would suppress his development again, so he arranged the move of Su's thick legs. Su's thick legs unified the East China Sea. As soon as Sun Shao arrived, he surrendered, so that Sun Shao could win without fighting, and then lead these people to cross the state to calm down Cui Qian, the king of pirates in the South China Sea. In this way, Sun Shao can control the East China Sea and the South China Sea. If Sun Quan wants to suppress him again, it is unlikely. Even if Sun Quan wants to tear his face, he only I can bear it, because neither the East China Sea nor the South China Sea has the strength to compete with Sun Shao.

From this, Sun Shao can jump out of Sun Quan's control in one step. He didn't want to fight with Sun Quan to be the lord of Jiangdong, but he didn't want to be so wronged.

But this arrangement is not perfect, and there are some mistakes. The first is that he couldn't bring his family out. Originally, he hoped to wait for a period of time, at least after Guan Feng's body recovered, and then his family would flee. However, after a period of consideration, he found that the time was not ripe. At this time, if he asked to bring all his family with him, Sun Quan would definitely not let him go out to Jianye, so after hesitating for a long time, he took the method of the bridge, walking in two steps, first accumulating a certain strength, finding the right base, and then taking them Pick it up. Another thing is that although Su's thick legs are the strongest pirates in the East China Sea, he failed to unify the East China Sea. In addition to him, there is also a group of pirates. Although they are not as strong as Su's thick legs, their strength is not small. On the surface, they also obey the deployment of Su's thick legs. In the battle with Lv Fan and several robberies, they also accumulated four or five hundred ships, five or six thousand people. When Sun Shao sent the surrender documents, they clearly opposed the surrender. As a result, he got rid of Su's thick legs. If he doesn't consider anything else, Su's thick legs can completely destroy him, but many of his men have just been annexed. Once the war begins, it is difficult for him to guarantee that no one will fight back.

Su's thick legs felt very embarrassed. Sun Shao deliberately created such a good opportunity. First, he hit other pirates for him, killed Zhou Qun, and then arranged people for him to arrange ordnance. In the end, he did not unify the pirates of the East China Sea. Now what he gave to Sun Shao is a semi-finished product, which is really ashamed.

"It's all right." After listening to Wei Ping's introduction, Sun Shao did not show a disappointed or angry expression. He smiled easily and said, "It's not as good as possible. Everything can be done. It's not easy to do this."

"It's just..." Su's rough legs said unwillingly, "With those people's obstruction, if I cling to the general, I'm afraid my men will also have a problem. At that time..."

"Don't worry too much." Sun Shao interrupted Su's rough legs and arranged very directly: "Go and recruit your men and make it clear to them. Of course, there is nothing to say if you are willing to go with you, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to. In the future, it is up to them to be opponents or friends. If they give face and see my flag walking around, I won't take the initiative to embarrass them. If you don't have eyesight and dare to flirt with me, don't blame me for being merciless, so that his mother can't recognize him.

"Retain them?" Su's thick legs have been officers and soldiers, and he knew the truth of self-respect for raising banditry, so he took it for granted.

"It's right that you understand that." Sun Shao smiled and said, "However, they will regret it. In the East China Sea, pirates are not so easy to do."

"What does the general mean?" Su's thick legs and Wei Ping are a little confused.

"In the future, merchant ships will not do their own things as before. I will ask them to act collectively and then be escorted by sailors. This can solve part of the financial problems of the sailors, train the team, and at the same time clean up the pirates along the way. If they want to live, they will either take the initiative to find a sailor to fight alone, or hide far away and pick up those merchant ships that do not want to pay the fee and would rather walk alone. Whether you can feed them or not depends on fate.

Su's thick legs didn't think too much. He believed that he would not suffer losses if he followed Sun Shao, but Wei Ping was a little worried: "General, pirates are not as good as the officers and soldiers of the navy. They are used to plundering and free. I'm afraid that the fees paid by the sailors and some of the merchant ships can't satisfy their appetite. We trust the general, but others may not be willing to do it.

"Who said you can't grab it if you are a sailor?" Sun Shao burst into laughter.

Su coarse legs and others looked at each other in front of each other. They couldn't figure out what Sun Shao meant for a moment. He became a sailor officer and soldier, and he still robbed like a pirate? Who are you robing?

"You are not strong enough now, so you can only grab some businessmen who have no power to fight back. What's the point? Robbed for a lifetime, still a pirate. If you become a sailor, if you want a ship to have a ship, food and food, how can your strength be comparable to that of pirates? If you are strong, won't there be more places to grab? You see how bold the order sign is. He directly occupied Zhu Ya. When he became the local emperor, even the scholar's family wanted to give him three points. He doesn't have the status of a sailor, which is far worse than us. We should play a little bigger than the order. For example, if we occupy a bigger island, when we are bored as a sailor, we will take time to have pirates.

Wei Ping suddenly realized and clapped his hands: "I understand the general's meaning. This is the so-called 'the hook thief is killed, and the thief' is the truth."

"You are so rebellious." Sun Shao pointed to Wei Ping seriously and warned, "I'm going to kill the head."

Everyone burst out laughing.
