Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 216

Grain is grown in spring and summer, and melons and vegetables are grown in winter.The food can be preserved, and the vegetables can be transported to the north for sale. This is a big business.

"What the military division said makes sense, but it's only thousands of miles away. Can we understand what the locals say?" Chailin asked.

"When I went there, the magistrate of Qiongzhou was from Luoyang. He warmly entertained the poor for three days. Now I don't know where he is from. There must be obstacles in communication, but the impact is not big. The biggest problem is the threat of the Cochin people. These Cochin barbarians Grain harvesting season is here, robbing grain, robbing livestock, murder and arson, all kinds of evil, the local government is powerless to organize resistance." Ling Yun said.

"How many Cochin Barbarians are there?"

"A group of two or three hundred is small, and a group of five or six hundred is big. These barbarians are tribes of the Jiaozhi Kingdom. They are very backward. They don't have jackets and only wear shorts, but they are very cruel." Daoist Ling Yun said.

Chai Lin nodded, deeply convinced, and said: "It's slow in advance. Our ten steam centipede ships have just been rebuilt, and the sailors haven't adjusted well. After the training is familiar, I will send military advisers to Qiongzhou to see if we can find a place to develop .”

"Okay, I am willing to serve the owner." Daoist Ling Yun said.

Daoist Lingyun is more than 50 years old and has been a monk for decades. He is more or less nagging, and he is unwilling to do small things. Usually, Chailin doesn’t use him to go to the military camp. Qian Yigua told people's fortunes, or wandered around Cangzhou when he was free.But this person is very useful, comforting people, fooling people, absolutely useful.

The huge dock at the wharf has started to be built. Shipbuilding can be done in the open air. There are not too many houses built. The main thing is to build warehouses to store some non-waterproof materials, as well as reception rooms, canteens, workers’ dormitories, etc., which is about [-] Ten houses are enough.

"Ding, the system task, complete the dock within 20 days, the task rewards a submarine and warship, the task fails, no penalty." The system has not sent a task for a long time, and unexpectedly sent such a simple task.Look at the submarine warship is actually a submarine warship with nuclear batteries. Although it is a little over 120 meters long, it can dive, and it uses jet navigation when sailing on the water, with a speed of up to [-] kilometers per hour.The appearance is only a small picture, which roughly looks like a manta ray.

Red bricks and cement are all ready-made, and building a hundred or ten bungalows is not the same as playing.

Although Yu Hao is a carpenter, it is not difficult to supervise the construction of houses.

Immediately, Chai Lin transferred more than 200 master masons, more than 800 small workers, and more than [-] workers from the shipyard, a total of [-] people, and used the crowd tactics to build together.

Building a house by the sea, considering typhoon and winter warmth, the walls are very thick, three brick walls, almost half a meter thick.The roof adopts the model of a bungalow, with a reinforced concrete roof.

With experienced craftsmen as the backbone, the shipbuilders' dormitory was built very quickly. It took almost only three days for the red brick and concrete walls to be erected, and the windows and doors were all reserved.Woodworkers make doors and windows, tables, chairs and benches.

The next step is to water the flat roof, which is more troublesome.The wood is used as the scaffolding, and the wooden planks are used as the shell boards. First weave it with a small amount of steel bars, and then pour cement.

Although Yu Hao was in a hurry to direct, he did well.

Chai Lin said: "Director Yu, don't rush too hard. After watering, the commander will have to wait at least seven days before removing the shell and sub-boards. During this process, water should be frequently splashed. It should be noted that fresh water must be used instead of sea water. Attention the building manager."

"Okay, owner, I will definitely arrange it properly. Small workers are not counted. There are records of which craftsmen built which houses. No one will dare to be lazy and use seawater. Seawater contains a lot of salt and is corrosive." Yu Hao said .

The beach more than ten miles north of Dinghai Port has tens of thousands of acres of sandy beach. The population is relatively sparse these days, and few people come to enjoy the sea.But today, more than 3000 people are bustling here, working hard, digging sand and repairing canals.

To build the salt field, Chai Lin has no experience at all. The first phase of the 100-acre salt field construction, the caravan hired ten masters from Penglai at a high price. In half a month, one person needs [-] taels of silver, and the delivery is included.

It must be expensive, but no one here understands this technology, so it costs money.The technical difficulty lies in the construction of the seawater canal in the middle of the salt pan. The canal is well built and can use tidal energy to pour seawater into each salt pan.The beach is not a flat land, and some places need waterwheels to input seawater into the salt fields by manually pedaling waterwheels.

Chai An found dozens of craftsmen who knew a little bit from nearby to work together, to see if they could learn some skills, and then supervise the construction by themselves, so that they don't need to spend money to hire them from other places.

Fortunately, labor is relatively cheap, otherwise it would be unbearable. There are almost tens of thousands of people in each construction site for food and wages.

Chailin returned to the port, intending to rest for a while before riding back to camp.

At this time, a centipede boat came, with the Zou flag on the bow. This was the boat of the Zou family in Dengzhou.

Xie Bao said: "It's strange, why doesn't this centipede ship pull cargo, what is the empty ship doing?"

Chai Lin said: "It's rather strange, traveling seven or eight hundred miles with an empty boat."

After a while, the centipede boat docked, and Zou Run hurried over. Seeing Chai Lin, he said, "Brother, my uncle was arrested, please help me."

Chai Lin said, "Brother Zou Run got up and spoke. Who caught your uncle?"

Seeing that Zou Run's mouth was dry, Xie Bao handed over a pot of water. Zou Run drank two big gulps and said, "Four days ago, my uncle Zou Yuan brought 20 people from the village and 20 newly hired people. The sailors took three centipede boats and planned to deliver wood to my brother. In the end, a dozen sailors went back to a ship that night, saying that my uncle’s 80 people and the sailor’s 5000 people were all arrested by pirates. He said he would release him only after [-] taels of silver."

"Where did these sailors get hired? Do you know all about them?" Chailin asked.

Zou Run shook his head: "My uncle and I have a total of 20 people, and only 90 people can fight. There are no sailors who know how to sail, and [-] people are hired temporarily."

"It seems that there should be pirates among these people, and it feels like they have plunged into the pirate's den." Chailin sighed.

"Hey."

During this period of time, Chai Lin gave Zou Run, and Uncle and Nephew Zou Yuan had a lot of business, earning thousands of taels of silver.Humans, there is always not enough money to make. It turns out that Zou Yuan hires Ping Haijun's warships to deliver goods every time, that's right, warships.This time I wanted to save some money, but something went wrong.
