Great Song Pirate

Chapter 291 Discussion Part 2
Qian Laoben also reported: "The tribes of Lu Laosan who were conquered last time have basically returned to our island after this period of time, and the young and strong among them have been included in the navy and handed over to training in rotation. For team training, a batch has already been sent to Shuimao and Fang Shu. As for some old and weak people, they stay on the island and work in some workshops to ensure their food and drink, but there are also a few things that are not eye-catching. , trying to steal a ship and escape, these people!..." Qian Laoben didn't continue, but made a movement of wiping his neck, and the meaning became clear. These people must have been cleaned up by Qian Laoben and the others. It has become fish food for a while.

Xu Yi nodded. This kind of thing is unavoidable. He is not a god-man, and he is far from being able to make everyone surrender. There will always be people who miss their previous life and do not want to stay here. You can live, or even live better, but for those who don't want to stay, it may be harder than going to heaven to leave here, and there is only one way left for them, and that is death!In this respect, he is not pedantic to the point of being soft-hearted.

"How will Shuimao, Fang Shu, Wang Feng, and Diao Bin be doing in the next few months?" Xu Yi asked Qian Laoben.

Qian Laoben smiled and replied: "Shui Mao and Fang Shu have sent ships back several times after two years. Basically, ships come back every month and bring back a large amount of property. The harvest is quite good, and the two The new ships built by the shipyard have all been assigned to them, so that they can start things faster. The two guys are very satisfied. Recently, both of them have sent the newly recruited personnel back here, and they have been handed over to them. Sun Hai began to practice, and after a while, it will be basically usable, and will be sent to various places for use. Among them, there are many Japanese and Koreans. After these people arrive here, all restless ones have been cleaned up, and the rest People are basically at ease. Many of the naval personnel who greeted you today are these people. As for Diao Bin, he has lived a comfortable life during this time. He came back with some belongings, and the amount was not small. Many of his fleets robbed Kang Laoer’s ships and captured many of Kang Laoer’s subordinates. He also followed suit and started the business of transporting goods. ;Wang Feng, that kid has been working very hard these days. This kid has picked out some ships from foreign feudal vassals, and he has harvested a lot. The harvest is also some strange things, but they are all valuable. They have been sent to Hangzhou and handed over to Li. At home, he has also subdued several small groups of colleagues nearby, and his strength has grown a lot. He will also be sent back for training in the near future. The things needed by the village are still taken in by refugees on Fujian Road, and transferred to Jilong Village, it is very hard work!"

After Xu Yi heard this, he felt relieved. With a few of them working everywhere, he could support all kinds of expenses, and there would be no shortage of money and goods in a short time, so he could have more reserves Some supplies for later use.

After Qian Laoben said these things, Xu Yi asked the principals to report on the things they were in charge of, and the hall became lively again.

Fat Guang was the first to speak, and this guy reported triumphantly: "My soap factory has now more than doubled in size, and it can produce tens of thousands of pieces of soap every month, and the soap is almost the same. Excluding the cost of incoming materials, the factory has more than 2 taels of silver, but now there is a shortage of caustic soda on land, if not, I can do more!"

Xu Yi nodded. It can be said that the current output has reached its limit. After all, there is no large-scale chemical plant that can provide enough caustic soda at this time. It is quite good to achieve this level, but he admires the foodie of the Li family. Ability, how much he produces now, the Li family still accepts all according to the order, it seems that the Li family really has a lot of ways!

Then Liu Laoliu said: "The whaling team under him now has six boats and more than 200 people, and can catch more than ten whales every month. There could be more, but the whale oil stored on the island is already too much. , so the speed has slowed down a bit recently, but the whale meat and skin are not wasted either. Most of them are marinated and eaten everywhere. Every month, two boatloads of whale meat are sent to Jilongzhai. Now everyone is almost I'm tired of eating! There are also things like jiao tendons, we have a lot of reserves, the ballistas made on the island have endless materials, and shark fishing is also a good business, shark fins and shark skin are both They are very popular, they are worth a lot of money, and now they have sold a lot of goods!"

Xu Yi laughed. Shark catching driven by the whaling industry is also a good business. At least in the future, eating shark fins will not cost money. Shark skin is a good thing. Let's talk about getting a pair of shark leather shoes later.

When Qin Huzi saw that it was his turn, he stood up behind Lei Tong and said in a loud voice: "Many craftsmen here have basically left their teachers and can work on their own. The long and short weapons used by the brothers on the island have basically begun to Use the guys we made ourselves. The accessories used in the ballista can now be used by the gods, and I also made a lot of iron-shelled thunderbolts for Yang Laoxi, but the current manpower is still not enough, and the output of weapons Some can't keep up!"

Xu Yi said to him: "You don't have to worry about this matter. Mr. Lei is here now. He has brought us a lot of blacksmith masters this time, which should be enough. If you think it is still not enough, you might as well find it on the island. Those who like to do this can be your apprentices, we are not afraid of having too many craftsmen, but not enough!"

After Qin Huzi thanked Xu Yi overjoyed, he sat back behind Lei Tong.

At this time, Mrs. Xue said in a hurry: "Our sewing workshop is also very busy now. The clothes of the brothers on the island will basically be sewed by us after this year. There are also those children's clothes. There is so much work that it is almost impossible to finish. I have basically found all the women who are idle on the island now, and I am on fire!"

Xu Yi hurriedly said: "I'm sorry for my second sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law is working hard. Don't worry about this matter. I will find a way to solve it for you later. If it doesn't work, just open a sewing factory in Jilongzhai. Over there There are probably a lot more women than here!" Mrs. Xue nodded and sat down in satisfaction.

"Now the gunpowder workshop has stockpiled several thousand catties of gunpowder, which can be used at any time, and has produced no less than a thousand stone thunderbolts, and hundreds of iron thunderbolts. I want to ask my lord, can we Do you want to continue the production!" Yang Laoxi got up and said.

"Do it! Keep doing it, don't stop, this thing is not afraid of too much, it can always be used in the future, but the gunpowder and the bombardment thunder that are made must be preserved and kept from getting wet. If they don't explode when they are used, they will be destroyed It’s a big trouble! And it’s best to store it as scattered as possible, and pay attention to safety! Also, don’t be afraid to spend money on making more palm mines! This kind of thing will be of great use in the future!” Xu Yi immediately ordered.

Yang Ci saw that it was his turn to speak, so he stood up with a small chest and said, "My lord! I have begun to have initial results in what you told me. The medical camp now has nearly 300 people. After this period of time, Professor, they have now basically mastered the dressing of wounds, and the diagnosis and medication of some simple and common diseases, and I have also made some proprietary medicines according to your instructions, which is indeed much more convenient to use. Made it!" Regardless of his young age, he was meticulous in implementing Xu Yi's orders and spoke in an orderly manner.

Xu Yi praised him greatly, and Yang Ci returned to his seat with a proud face. He was also the youngest among all the people who could participate in the discussion, and the little guy felt quite proud of it.

"The orphans sent by land have basically come to an end. So far, more than 600 children have been taken in, including more than 200 boys and more than 400 girls. The subordinates consider that the children are gradually Growing up, men and women are now separated into two courtyards, and teach separately, and let them choose their preferences and focus on teaching according to the lady's instructions. Now boys over the age of fourteen have begun to ask to join the navy. Just wait for the lord to come back and make arrangements!" Qiu Xiancheng, who took over Yingchun and became the principal, got up and reported to Xu Yi respectfully.

After Xu Yi thought about it, he was considered an adult at the age of [-] or [-], but he always felt that it was too early to let them join the army or work, so he ordered: "Don't rush this matter. Let them learn more things, we have no shortage of manpower in the navy now, try to let the children enjoy some days, these children used to be too hard! And they are still growing now, don't lose them!"

Qiu Xiancheng was the first batch of scholars who were tied to Dulong Island. He was kind-hearted and sympathized with these orphans. He was also the first scholar to report to the school and start teaching the children. After listening to Xu Yi's words, he was very grateful He bowed deeply to Xu Yi and said: "The lord is really a kind person! I would like to thank the lord on behalf of the children! Please rest assured, the lord, I, Qiu Xiancheng, will never let the children suffer a little bit! Useful talents on the island!"

Xu Yi got up and helped him up and said: "Mr. Qiu, you are welcome. You have done no less than me. I should be the one to thank you for those children. Please sit down, sir. In the future, you will have to work harder!"

Qiu Xiancheng returned to his seat with great gratitude, and secretly made up his mind to teach these children well.

Du Fuyuan got up and took out an account book, and wanted to report to Xu Yi about the warehouse affairs he was in charge of, but Xu Yi stopped him first: "Mr. Du doesn't need to say anything, just give me a rough list later, I, Xu I have always been trustworthy, you can just do it, if you talk about this kind of thing, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it at night!"

Du Fuyuan hurriedly put away the ledger, respectfully bowed to Xu Yi and returned to his seat, and was also grateful in his heart. You must know that he holds all kinds of property and power on the island in his hands, and this lord actually let him go without even asking. Do it, this kind of trust is beyond the reach of most people!

As for Yao Tiansheng who just took over the prison and Shen Wanhe who just took over the household registration, they didn't report their affairs. The first is that the things they said will be very trivial, and they are in charge of these two things now. There is nothing to say, but Xu Yi told them all, asking them to let go, also gave them a lot of rights and trust, so that the two of them, like Du Fuyuan, were moved and made up their minds , To really do a good job in the things in charge, to repay Xu Yi for his kindness to them.

After talking about the civil aspects, it was the turn of the military aspects. Xu Yi did not ask them to answer one by one, but asked Miao Fang, who is now in charge of the navy of Dulong Island headquarters: "What are the warships we can use on Dulong Island now? How many are there, and how many soldiers can you use in your hands?"

Miao Fang got up immediately and replied: "There are fifteen ships that can go to war on the island now, including five warships received from Huangyu Island, three lucky boats taken from Lu Laosan, and the rest are fast boats. They have all been refitted and reinforced on the island. This does not include your boat. The dilapidated boats in the past have been abandoned or dismantled. There will be 500 available soldiers on the island, which does not include The left-behind personnel on the island are now equipped with an average of 100 people per boat. After such a long period of training, each of these people can be regarded as an expert in water warfare! This does not include the more than 200 people you deployed on the boat! If you add If you use them, there will be 700 people who can use it!"

Xu Yi nodded to let him sit down, and then asked Sun Hai, the coach of the rotation training team: "How many rotation training personnel are sent to you from various places now? How many are your coaches now? How many of these people are available now?"

Sun Hai immediately got up and replied: "There are about 300 people sent back here from various places, and they are still in training. After being eliminated, there will be about 1000 left. I have 120 coaches now. All of them are masters drawn from various places, and they are specially trained to train these personnel who come back for rotation training. If they want to use them, more than 700 people can be drawn now!"

Hearing Xu Yi's sudden question about this matter, the eyes of the chief officers of the navy lit up. After cleaning up Lu Laosan years ago, they spent all day idling on Dulong Island, at most going out in Hangzhou Bay The Waihai generation always felt that hunting was not enough, but now when they heard Xu Yi ask about these things, they immediately smelled something, so Qian Laoben asked first: "Are we going to start a war with someone? Is there a chance for me to go out this time? Who are we going to trouble this time?"

Xu Yi smiled and said: "I haven't thought it through yet, but soldiers are invincible, so I should make preparations first! But Brother Qian, don't think about it, if I send you to fight, I will be scolded to death! You still Show me a good home! Hehe! And Mr. Jia is also preparing. The pasture used to turn over cattle and horses needs to be cleaned up. Soon, about a thousand stallions will be brought over. After getting used to it here, they will move to Go to the chicken coop to raise them!"

Qian Laoben made a dejected look, but Xu Yi was still very satisfied with his concern, Jia Qian quickly bowed to his orders.

Yesterday, some brothers voted for more than 30 update votes. Although they didn't vote for [-], Geda still has to fight today!We must not let down the love of our brothers!In the middle of the night, try to break through [-], thank you, Pida!
