Travel through ancient times and become a great hero

Cao Wenshan was of course happy to see Charlotte coming over. He and his son's future were all thanks to Charlotte.

He was not very familiar with Situ Jin. But he guessed that Situ Jin must be an extraordinary person.

Because as the special envoy of Western Frontier, no one knows who he is until now.

When I saw the relationship between the person in front and Charlotte.

He vaguely guessed that this person was from the royal family.

He did not try to find out whether it was the crown prince or some royal relative.

And Charlotte didn't introduce who this person was.

Seeing Cao Wenshan's inquiring eyes, Charlotte knew what he had guessed.

"Sir Cao, he is my husband." Xia Luo introduced Situ Jin generously, just to avoid misunderstanding during this period. After all, she is a woman.

Besides, there are several guards here. If they accidentally call the master, Cao Wenshan will be embarrassed. It is better to make it public. This way, it will be convenient for everything.

"Si Tu Jin greets Lord Cao." Si Tu Jin bowed modestly.

He didn't want to put pressure on the ministers and soldiers in front of him.

"Master Cao, can you tell us where the pirates came from?" Charlotte liked to watch those pirate movies in her later life. Let Cao Wenshan tell us where the pirates came from so that she can deal with them.

"I have never seen what pirates look like. They are said to be from the country of the ball. According to their description, they are very strong and speak the language of the country of the ball. Every time soldiers who are good at swimming go to fight with them, they will run away like loaches."

"There is a rocky reef not far from this coast. They often appear from there. Many soldiers died there. These pirates are very cunning."

"If there are any soldiers coming back, let them come to see me. I want to talk to them." Xia Luo said to Cao Wenshan.

"Xiao San." Xiao San was his bodyguard.

"Yes, Lord Cao. Please tell me what I want to do." Xiao San is a boy who is not very tall. In fact, he is already twenty years old. He is like a child who has never grown up.

"Call Jiang Liwen and Zhang Dahai over."

"My bodyguard Xiaosan is very good at swimming. If I were not too old, I would also like to learn how to swim. But now I am unable to do so."

"Oh. By the way, Lord Cao. How many people here can swim?" Charlotte suddenly remembered this question. It's not good to come to the coast without knowing how to swim. She had to let those 1,000 people learn to swim quickly. Just in case.

"Most of them are good at swimming. They all grew up by the sea. If they can't swim, how can they survive? Many families are fishermen."

"Report. Jiang Liwen, Zhang Dahai is here to report."

"These two are sent by the court to help us fight the pirates. Just answer whatever we ask you. Don't be restrained." Cao Wenshan said gently, fearing that the two soldiers would be scared.

"Let me ask you, how long did it take you to learn how to swim?"

"We don't need to learn, we have known it since childhood." Zhang Dahai said without thinking.

"We have lived by the sea since we were young, and our ancestors have made a living by fishing. So if you can't swim, you're asking for death," Jiang Liwen said in a muffled voice.

"Then can you teach people to swim?"

"Of course I can. Even if you can't swim, you will learn it in three days." Zhang Dahai assured, patting his chest.

"Well, then. As you know, a thousand landlubbers came here a few days ago. Can you train them to walk freely in water within three days?"

"Landlubber?" Jiang Liwen touched his head and muttered.

"Those thousand soldiers all came from the western border. The ground there is full of sand and there is a lack of water, so I call them landlubbers." Charlotte accidentally said the modern noun.

I will really pay attention next time. Otherwise I will have to explain it. It is tiring.

"Oh. Sure. We have a pool for swimming practice. And those of us who know how to swim can take people into the water. It's not difficult."

"Okay then. You guys go down. Xiao San will send someone to bring the thousand elite soldiers to the pool in a while." Cao Wenshan always did things efficiently and decisively.

Charlotte can swim.

Situ Jin is even less of a problem.

Think about it, an Interpol officer is a person who is proficient in all kinds of skills. Without this ability, you cannot be an Interpol officer and you cannot take on that role.

"And Lord Cao, we are training elite soldiers on one hand, but let me ask, how many ships do we have?"

"Our ships are not very big. There are about fifty of them. The largest ones can usually hold more than a dozen people. There are also a few ships under repair."

"Yes. Lord Cao, I want to find a few fishermen who know how to build a boat. Can you provide a list of names? The more people the better. The price is three times the previous boat building fee. The time is half a month."

"Okay. I'll go find someone right away."

Situ Jin just watched Xia Luo chatting with Cao Wenshan. He didn't say anything either.

But his wife's thoughts are his thoughts.

He really admires his wife's efficiency.

It took only two hours to complete most of the work on how to deal with pirates.

It seems there is hope of returning to Beijing before the New Year.

Xia Luo and Situ Jin returned to the space to look at the wood. Their space had many varieties of wood, and they could get it locally.

The selection of suitable wood for shipbuilding is critical.

Fir is a light, tough and water-resistant wood. Suitable for hulls and deck planking.

Pine has high compressive and tensile strength and excellent water resistance. It is suitable for keels, ribs, columns, etc. Cypress is suitable for decks and interior decoration.

Elm is suitable for ribs and hulls.

Therefore, fir, pine, cypress, teak, camphor and catalpa are all suitable for shipbuilding.

The two of them rented a house not far from the sea as a warehouse. They took the wood for shipbuilding out of the space. There was enough wood to build about a hundred ships and put it in the warehouse.

Cao Wenshan was very efficient and soon found more than 20 shipbuilding experts.

These people have lived by the sea for generations. Building boats, fishing, and making nets are their daily lives. When they heard that the daily pay was three times the original amount, many families were willing to find work on land.

After all, life in the sea depends on luck.

And pirates appear frequently in this section.

They didn't dare to walk around.

Now we see the imperial court sending people to suppress the pirates.

They cooperated quite well.

When I saw so much high-quality wood in the warehouse, I couldn't stop talking.

They are all seafarers. They know the value of this wood.

He also knew that this time the imperial court was taking great efforts to punish the pirates.

They were happy and excited, so they worked much faster.

After more than twenty days of hard work.

The large ships are neatly arranged on the beach, which is a feast for the eyes.

The swimming skills of elite soldiers are also constantly improving.

Situ Jin and Charlotte felt it was time to go out to sea to fight the pirates.

They prepared their muskets, guns, ammunition, cartilage powder and all the tools they could use to deal with pirates.

Take 500 elite soldiers and 500 original soldiers and set out to the rocky reef together.

Cao Wenshan also wanted to go, but he was afraid when he thought about how he could not swim.

In case pirates attack, others will have to be distracted to protect us.

He thought it would be better not to fall behind.

And Situ Jin’s identity is there.

No one asked him to go, and he was too embarrassed to say it.

But Charlotte didn't think so.

After they go back, this is Cao Wenshan's territory. They need to establish a personal character for him.

The pirates were eliminated. Cao Wenshan also made contributions. And he was made a great contribution.

This will give him prestige here and allow him to serve the court better in the future.

"Master Cao, you are the supervisor here. Since we are going to eliminate the pirates, you should come with us. This time, I will show you the true face of the pirates."
