Great Song Pirate

Chapter 292 Catch the Thief
Back on Dulong Island, Xu Yi had to take a look around here first, and he also brought Yang Zaixing and others who had just come here, and let them also take a look at the sea paradise under his rule, and let them have a first look at this place. General understanding.

As they inspected, Xu Yi felt that the island had undergone obvious changes compared to when he left just a few years ago. Many caves on the hill have been repaired and become warehouses, and some new roads have been built to connect these warehouses. The transportation at the wharf is much more convenient, and these warehouses are also classified according to different types of materials, and warehouse soldiers are set up everywhere to guard them, which makes the transfer and statistics of various materials much more convenient.

Since many carpenters and shipwrights have been transferred to Jilongzhai after a year, the slipway here is relatively free, and the main task of the remaining shipwrights is to maintain the ships on the island, and now they are much richer and richer. Many dilapidated ships used in the past, after screening, left valuable ships for repair, and the rest were scrapped in a unified manner, which reduced a lot of workload. But it has become a playground for children on the island. Some young orphans or children on the island play here when they have nothing to do, and it has become their playground.

Because some family members moved south to Jilongzhai on the island, many houses in the village here were vacant, and they were gathered together for renovation and allocated to the rotation training team as barracks. There are many things left. The island is now It was basically built into a huge barracks, only a relatively small number of family members are still here, mainly engaged in some work in the workshop, basically there are no idlers, and there is a busy look everywhere.

Qin Huzi's blacksmith workshop expanded again, and vacated a warehouse for receiving the steel that will arrive in the future. After the steel arrived, it began to put into production in large quantities according to Xu Yi's requirements, and under Qin Huzi's auspices, A larger steel-making furnace was being built, and as soon as Lei Tong came here, he stopped and refused to move a step further.

Laymen watch the fun, and experts watch the way, who is Lei Tong!That is the master who deals with steel all day long, and he can see the difference between this new steel furnace and the iron-making furnaces of several iron merchants in Guzhen at a glance, so he looks around the furnace, nodding constantly, loudly Hello, several hydraulic blowers built near the steelmaking furnace with the help of streams can pour wind into the furnace through pipes, so that the furnace temperature can be greatly increased, which is obviously higher than that of the steelmaking furnace that appeared not long ago in Guzhen. At least, when he heard that the steel used for the knife that Xu Yi gave him was made in this kind of furnace, Lei Tong nodded and praised repeatedly. In this way, the ordinary method of blacksmithing was further advanced Quite a lot, and provided them with better raw materials for making better weapons. Lei Tong no longer dared to underestimate Qin Huzi.

Then they also saw several ballistas being assembled in a shed in the blacksmith workshop. Yang Zaixing and others didn't know what these were, so they asked each other.

Qin Huzi immediately introduced to them: "This thing is called a ballista here. Its function is similar to that of the bed crossbow, but it is much more convenient and powerful. The bed crossbow can only shoot crossbow arrows, but this ballista can also shoot kerosene bombs and stones." Ammunition and other things can be regarded as a combination of throwing carts and bed crossbows, but it is much more accurate than throwing carts! To be honest, I heard that Dulong Island is currently able to develop so far, mostly relying on this kind of ballista Its power, across the sea, has never had an opponent! And you may not believe it, this kind of ballista was created by our lord himself. At the beginning, the lord assisted Jin Dazhang here. With this kind of ballista, a The broken boat, a hundred or so people, took down this Dulong Island in a daze, and killed Li Tong, who originally occupied this place several times as much as them! The end is very powerful, and the ballista you see now has been passed by the Lord many times. It is an improved product, both in terms of range and accuracy, it is much better than before, my lord is really a genius!" When Qin Huzi explained this ballista, he did not show his admiration for Xu Yi at all.

These people are all experts in weapons. After hearing this, they immediately nodded their heads in praise and asked about the shooting range of this kind of ballista. Seeing their curiosity, Xu Yi asked Qin Huzi to bring everyone to the cannon test field. He set up a ballista, loaded it with big arrows and stone projectiles, and showed them the test shots. As a result, when the big arrow accurately hit an archery target [-] paces away, and pierced through the two-inch thick archery target, Everyone was shocked immediately, they could hit the bull's-eye with such precision from [-] paces away, which shows the power of this kind of ballista, but when the stone bullet was fired and smashed the target on the spot, the eyes of the few of them immediately dropped Suddenly, the stone bullets seemed to be more powerful than the big arrows. Now they believed what Qin Huzi said. This kind of ballista is really powerful. No wonder their Dulong Island is so powerful. This lord not only has He is a talent for governing the country, and he can be called a skilled craftsman!

"This is not too powerful. This ballista can not only fire arrows and stone bombs, but also kerosene bombs and thunderbolts. If you have seen the power of those two things, you won't think How powerful this is!" Qin Huzi continued to fan them.

"We can understand kerosene bombs, but what is the thunderbolt and thunder that Master Qin mentioned?" Yang Zaixing asked curiously.

Qin Huzi looked at Xu Yi, who was smiling and silent, and said with a smile: "Forgive me for being a fool, the lord will show you how powerful this thunderbolt is! Let me remind you a few times first. When you meet that thing, you have to stand still, cover your ears, don't be scared! Hehe!"

So a few people followed Xu Yi to the outside of the blacksmith's workshop with a full stomach of suspicion.

Seeing Lei Tong's reluctance, Xu Yi knew that his addiction to blacksmithing had fallen again, so he persuaded him: "Master Lei just came to the island, and there are still many new things here that you haven't seen before. Come here again after you finish reading them." Get busy, then you can do whatever you want, and here you can show your abilities to the fullest!"

Lei Tong reluctantly left the blacksmith's workshop, followed Xu Yi and turned around. Once he arrived at Fat Guang's soap factory, Xu Yi saw that it was indeed as they said, and the scale had expanded a lot. The soaps that have been formed are neatly stacked, exuding a unique fragrance. Some workers wrap the finished soaps with oiled paper, put them in crates, and transport them to the warehouse for storage, waiting for shipment.

Led by Fat Guang, they entered the factory building, which was also a steaming scene. A large number of workers were busy inside, and whale oil was continuously boiled in the huge iron pot, and some craftsmen kept pouring into the pot. There are also many craftsmen who are scraping out the soap that has been separated from the pot, putting it into the mold, and then putting it on the shelf to dry to make soap or soap. The fragrance of spices and some pungent the taste of.

Gao Xu curiously held the soap that had almost dried up and said in wonder: "So this is the magical soap created by the Lord! It really smells good. I tried it last night, and I feel that I have taken a bath with this thing." Afterwards, my whole body felt very comfortable and refreshed, so it was made like this!"

Fat Guang proudly introduced: "The one you use is called scented soap, and this one is also. The soap is not so fragrant. The one on the shelf over there is soap, but we only use soap for washing clothes now. Now all the soap in the world This kind of thing is all from our family, there is no semicolon, even the emperor Lao Tzu wants to take a bath with this kind of thing made by us now, our lord is capable enough!"

Lei Tong and others looked around and nodded repeatedly. This kind of thing is really wonderful. It really feels good after taking a bath. It really removes dust and oil, and feels extremely refreshed. It turned out that Xu Yi created it!This protagonist seems to know a lot of new gadgets!

When Xu Yi led the crowd to the gunpowder workshop in the mountains, he passed by an open space on the island. It used to be a wasteland, but now it has been opened up, planted with various vegetables, and now it is green and green. , and some of them are still blooming with small flowers, which are really beautiful. With this large vegetable field, at least there is no need to eat those fish and whale meat every day on the island. Even if you eat too much of the best things, you will feel bored!Xu Yi couldn't help but feel his index finger twitch. He couldn't help but rushed into the vegetable field and picked a small cucumber that was not yet ripe. He stroked it with his hand and gnawed it.I didn’t know that in the era of the Song Dynasty, China had this thing. It would be great if there were some green peppers and tomatoes!But he has also inquired about these two things. No one in China knows about these two things. It is really a pity!

Everyone saw Xu Yi stealing cucumbers, so they stood on the road and laughed. At this moment, an old farmer rushed over with a wooden stick and shouted: "Who came here to steal our vegetables?" See if I don't break your dog legs! Come out quickly, or I will drag you to the inspection team and let you get a good stick!"

Xu Yi didn't bring any personal guards with him when he came out today, but brought Lei Tong and the others himself, and he got into the vegetable field and was reaching out to pick cucumbers for Lei Tong and the others, so no one knew Lei Tong and the others When they heard someone yelling and scolding, they were all taken aback. Xu Yi suddenly remembered the past when he ran to the farmland to steal farmers' fruits and was caught when he was a child, so he suddenly became childish and hid in the vegetable field and refused to come out.

The old man looking at the vegetable field didn't know Yang Zaixing and others. After seeing them, he thought they were people from other places who had just arrived here for training, so he gave them an angry look, and then turned to Xu Yi who was hiding in the vegetable field. He yelled: "I see you don't come out for me, you bastard. Let me tell you, this cucumber is not yet ripe. I left it to our big family to try it out first. Even I was not willing to eat one. You stole it for me first, and I won’t be polite if you don’t come out again!” He picked up a stone from the ground and made a gesture to smash it.

The jaws of Yang Zaixing and the others dropped all over the floor again, thinking that this old man is in bad luck, the one squatting inside is the No. [-] boss of Tianzi here!Seeing that the old man was about to throw the stone, Yang Zaixing was afraid that he would really hit Xu Yi, so he hurried forward and grabbed the old man's wrist, trying to tell him the real situation, but as soon as he grabbed the old man, the old man became annoyed. He yelled: "Okay! You bastards, do you still dare to beat me? We are not on land, and you steal food from our island, do you still dare to beat people? Come on! Come on! Come on!" Someone steals and beats people!..."

Yang Zaixing was also taken aback by this, he thought to himself, I just pulled you, why did it become a beating?So he quickly explained: "This old man, I don't want to hit you! The person inside is..."

The old man broke free from his hand, jumped and shouted: "I don't care who he is! Even if the heavenly king and Lao Tzu come, I will keep this one for the head of the family. No one can touch it. I will do the same when my son comes. Break his dog legs!" Before he finished speaking, the stone in the old man's hand was thrown towards Xu Yi.

Xu Yi saw that this old man really dared to smash it!So he didn't dare to hide anymore, reached out to catch the stone, stood up from the vegetable field, and smiled at the old man: "Uncle Pang Da! Calm down! It's me!"

It turned out that this old man, Xu Yi, knew him, and he was the chubby old man. He bought a piece of land here to grow some vegetables for Xu Yi's family. He wanted Xu Yi and Yingchun to eat something fresh. Usually, the old man came here when he was free. Squatting down, afraid that someone would touch his precious vegetables, he finally caught the thief today, but when he saw the person standing out from the vegetable field, the old man didn't get down on the spot, and said in surprise: "My God! What is it? You, Master! Oh! Didn’t hit you! Forgive me, Master, I don’t know you’re here, if I knew, I wouldn’t dare to throw you away!”

Xu Yi took a few cucumbers he had chosen, and walked out of the vegetable field cheerfully. Lei Tong and the others were all sweating for this old man. Just now, the old man scolded Xu Yi badly and threw Stone passed by, but I still don't know how Xu Yi will deal with this old man!As a result, after Xu Yi came out, he handed the cucumber to Gao Jun, and smiled at Old Pang, "I'll take a few new brothers here and Mr. Lei to look around the island. Passing by here and seeing the juicy water of this cucumber, I got greedy, so I stole a few, you won't be offended!"

Papa Pang was sweating profusely and said quickly: "Look at what you said, I planted these cucumbers specially for you, you can eat them, let alone a few, even if you pull them out, I will also eat them." No problem! It’s just that I didn’t know it was you just now, and you scolded and threw stones, so don’t blame me, old man!”

Xu Yi said with a smile: "I can't blame you! Thank you for not being in time! You are so old, you can rest. It's not like no one is doing these jobs. You are tired!"

Lei Tong and the others fell to the ground immediately, this lord really has no airs at all!It was so unexpected!
While they were talking, two men in red clothes rushed over with big sticks in their hands, shouting as they ran, "Who was calling here for a thief just now? Don't let him get away..."

When they rushed to the front, the two of them were dumbfounded when they saw it, and hurriedly intervened to salute Xu Yi, but Lao Pang gave each of them a chestnut and drove them back, and everyone burst into laughter immediately.
