Lao Wang was really moved now. He stared at Xiao Tao and kept watching. When Xiao Tao was seen and didn't know what to do, he asked, "You are born with this skill?"
"No, I figured it out later. I usually have to practice holding my breath in the water. I just figured it out by myself and figured it out."
Xiao Tao smiled shyly and replied.
"Really? Can you develop this kind of ability? Okay, okay, Xiaotao, you don't have to go fishing for Jiaxiang anymore. Your family will have a good life in the future. Wait, I'll come when I go."
While talking, Lao Wang ran to a box next to him, took out a few things from it, and then climbed to the top looking place, lit the things, and bursts of fireworks exploded in the sky.
"Old man, the fireworks you set off are the fireworks they said? It's so beautiful. If you set them off at night, it would be better. Old man, what do you set them on?"
Hearing the movement, Xiaotao looked out the window, and saw the fireworks exploding in the sky, and the movement was not small, awakening the sleeping Uncle Stone.
"I said, Lao Wang, what are you doing? Have you encountered something that can't be handled? And let people not sleep." As soon as Xiao Tao's voice fell, the voice of the little stone rang.
"Sleep, sleep, what else can you do for a day besides knowing you sleep? Get up and cook, and you found the baby, hurry up, and then you will be given the credit."
Lao Wang kicked Xiaoshitou's two houses in the past, and turned his head to Xiaotao and said, "From now on, you will work in the Chamber of Commerce. You will teach your skills to more people. The Chamber of Commerce will give you a lot of money, so you don’t have to. Worried about life at home, are you willing?"
"Is it working in the Chamber of Commerce in Luzhou? Yes, I am willing, I have heard it a long time ago. I earn more money to do things in the Chamber of Commerce in Luzhou, so I can do it with 20 pens a day."
Xiao Tao nodded again and again, even if he already knew the price of Jiaxiang, he would make a lot of money in one day, but he still decided to do things in Luzhou, be safe, and don't worry about being bullied.
"It's not twenty wen. If your skill is true, you can get two hundred wen that day, definitely more than you can earn by selling Jiaxiang."
Lao Wang has now regarded Xiao Tao as a treasure. If the people in the Chamber of Commerce can learn this ability, then no matter if they encounter danger or work, they will become more powerful in the future.
No wonder that two of them could swim here last night. It turned out that there was a very capable young man.
Little Stone asked again in confusion. When he heard that Xiaotao could swim to a depth of less than thirty feet, he didn't feel sleepy anymore. When he got up, he started cooking, just as new materials arrived.
It took less than half an hour to prepare six dishes and one soup, and the rice wine was also cooked for the two of Xiaotao and his son to eat.
…
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan don’t know that the farthest lighthouse has found a baby for them. Now the two of them take time out every day to play with their siblings. The four little guys ate and slept, slept and ate, rarely When you are energetic, even if you hold it in your arms, you will fall asleep after a while.
"Xiaobao, how do you teach them to speak? Do you have to wait for them to speak after a few months?" Wang Juan asked Zhang Xiaobao while hugging Zhang Xiaobao's younger brother.
"No, it's okay now. Don't think they can't speak now, but they can listen. Just let them hear the adult's voice frequently. It's best to hold something and repeat it constantly. Name, the more interested they are, the better.
When they want to play, they keep talking about it. If they are not the kind of congenital lack of heart, waiting for the length of the vocal cords or something to be about the same, they will naturally say something if they want something. The simplest name is to let them call their mothers. This voice is best imitated. "
Zhang Xiaobao shook his body back and forth, and the sister in his arms squinted and fell asleep there.
"That's all right? My brother and sister are not stupid, they must be able to speak earlier, Xiaobao, I remember the old days, when there were children in the family to pee, but the adults used two people to hold the children's legs. Now Why do they have to pee on the mat?"
Wang Juan changed her sister's cushion. She wanted to learn what she had seen before to let her brothers and sisters pee.
Zhang Xiaobao said: "No, this is not good. Those children are actually a little older. If they are so small now, the bones will not be able to bear it. You must use this cushion. After they can walk, then Let them train more slowly.
Now don’t train them to walk, but to do things, such as sitting up, rolling, and crawling, bit by bit, they are not like the two of us, they know themselves after more than ten months. Their physical condition can be adjusted. They don't understand, and it will be over if one is not careful. "
"Ah? There is such a thing? Then let them continue to pee on the mats. There is no washing machine, it takes a lot of effort to wash, and it has to be changed many times a day."
Wang Juan Meiyu has raised children. How do you know this? Zhang Xiaobao came from middle school in an orphanage before. Often children who were just born were thrown away by their parents. It was not a disability, but two people seemed to be unable to have children. Ten Six or seven-year-olds had children, some were beaten down, and some were secretly born without knowing what to do.
If it’s a school child, it’s okay to say that it’s easy to be discovered, and it’s impossible to ask for a long time off. If you quit school, your family must know that if some don’t study, it’s not easy to go out to work.
Those children were finally brought by other older children in the orphanage. After all, there were too few staff inside, and Zhang Xiaobao learned from that time.
"Are you both here? What a coincidence." Just as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were talking about how to bring the children, Li Xun walked in from outside.
Now he had to come over every day to take a look at the four little guys, discussing to let him take the place too, every time he was rejected but never changed.
"How is it? Didn't you go to train the remaining two thousand people? How is the training?" Zhang Xiaobao put his sister in the cradle and gently pushed, and asked Li Xun.
"Then you have to ask, the people I teach will not be bad, really, if you don't believe me, go and see, I will take care of the children for a while."
Li Xun was about to reach out to Wang Juan's younger brother, but was beaten back, and said while rubbing his hands there.
"Two thousand people don't seem to be enough. Waiting for a firm foothold this time. Even if the imperial court sends troops to protect it, it is impossible to send troops from the capital, not from the surrounding areas. If our training here is not good enough. , There may be no chance, but that is a good place, as long as other people know about it, they will find a way to worry about it.
Naturally, the best way is to smuggle it. It is to use the army’s escort to smuggle things back and sell them secretly. Without paying the tax, this thing must not happen. Otherwise, once they are supported It has become a habit, and it will be the same in other places in the future. "
Zhang Xiaobao knew that Li Xun wouldn’t do anything there. He just watched. He didn’t need to take care of the training. There were 3,000 people in total, which is quite a lot, but it must be combat effectiveness. Otherwise, don’t look at Lu. The first place found on the state side was also the first to send troops there.
If other people want to worry about it, it’s still very easy. As long as the time comes, they can send soldiers who can fight over and find a reason to say that they are trying. If the people on your side win, it’s better to say, just in case. If you lose, you can let others take away the task of guarding.
The army doesn’t do business, so naturally they don’t have to pay any taxes. What's more, they are the inspectors themselves, and they will inevitably carry things here by stealth. Not only shipping, but also deliberately lowering the price in order to be able to sell things faster.
If you lose a share of tax reduction, as long as you hold down the tax money, other normal people and merchants can't bear it. Therefore, this matter must be eliminated, otherwise it will cause big troubles.
Li Xun quietly listened to Zhang Xiaobao’s analysis there. After listening to it, he began to worry, and said, “What if a certain prince or master waits in? It’s the people in the house who go to make things and come back to make a fortune. The price of something in the capital will be affected."
Li Xun is indeed very worried. It is too easy to find a reason in the past. It is like he was in Luzhou. Who cares about him? If you really want to let the prince and the master join, then it will be troublesome. , You can't use soldiers to intercept it, right
Zhang Xiaobao had already considered this issue and said to Li Xun: "This is easy to handle. Now the most direct way is the way we used to go. The boats we use are not all good ones. After we make a fortune, we will start. Detour, if they can find the way on their own, that is their ability, if they can't find it, don't think about going there.
The merchants in Jiangnan Dongdao are treated in the same way. Let them provide boats. We go out to help them row and make a circle. We will not let them find their way. If we want to do this, we must take care of the security. Come here, otherwise the army wouldn't dare to let them go around. "
Li Xun understood it now, and to talk about it, he finally put it on the army. After thinking about it, he said, "Then I asked my father to send more people. They are all trained. I believe they can do things. Do it well."
"This is not possible, can the people of the palace go out casually? Let's train our own people, not to mention that we can take care of it now, when we are all gone, will Luzhou's army have no fighting capacity
I have a good solution, which is to wait for the 1,000 people who went ahead to take over the place, then let them come back, and send out another 1,000 people, taking turns back and forth, and those who arrive at the place will find ways to grab more things from the local people. , Especially those who are hostile to us.
The slightly better people are drawn in, and the bad ones are eliminated. It happens to be enough for us to train, um, just do it, don’t worry, give them better weapons, better defenses on their bodies, and treat them if they are injured. If you die, there is no way. There are no undead people in war, so the two thousand people now have to practice hard. "
Zhang Xiaobao finally used another plan on Li Xun's body, and he was able to help carry it out if something went wrong.
Sure enough, when Li Xun heard Zhang Xiaobao's constant emphasis on the army, he frowned and said: "Other things are okay, but it's not easy to do. Where can I find so many weapons and armors? The court won't go there. Send it here."
"We can make it ourselves, I'm afraid that someone won't let it." As soon as Zhang Xiaobao's words were said, Wang Juan understood. This is just to find an excuse to make weapons, and official approval is needed.
Li Xun curled his lips and said, "I know that you have no good intentions. It is so, okay, okay. Now that you are ready to build, you will build it first. I will write to it. Weapon, it’s time to register on it."
Li Xun is no longer the one who was fooled around at the beginning. He has become very shrewd. After hearing Zhang Xiaobao's words, he will know what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan mean by linking things before and after.
There are all kinds of craftsmen in the two people's homes. Isn't it easy to make some weapons? What's more, there is no shortage of resources here. It's nothing more than a fear of taking responsibility and a justifiable excuse is needed.
If it is someone else, Li Xun will definitely reject it. After all, weapons cannot be made casually. Even if someone is secretly making them, it will be fine if it is replaced by the Zhang family. The technology handed over by the Zhang family is just for fighting, then remake. A weapon is also normal.
With such confidence, Li Xun promised so happy, and laughed with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. This was another kind of agreement.
The three discussed again, and Li Xun left, and Zhang Xiaobao also ordered the people to start to take the weapons manufacturing to the face of the matter, and no longer need to secretly manufacture them underneath.
…
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan just finished the matter. The farthest lighthouse sent the news. After knowing that Xiaotao can dive so deep, and the fireworks were released, they immediately started to do some things at the lighthouse. Prepare, when the patrolling ship saw the signal coming, let the patrol ship send the matter back quickly, and also sent Xiaotao and his son to the ship and take them back together.
The patrol ship delivers news at a fast speed. The pigeons are carried on the ship and they are released directly. The normal ship takes more than half a month to reach the distance. If the pigeons fly, it takes no time for a day.
"Great, I finally found a better talent. We have such a person here too, amazing." Zhang Xiaobao said happily after receiving the news.
Wang Juan is also happy, being able to dive so deep, and then training more people will be of greater use.
The two of them didn't doubt this. At that time, some of them had been specially trained to dive to deeper places, but the method was not easy to master. Unexpectedly, there were people here who practiced it by themselves.
In fact, it is very simple. The truth is that one thing is that people can adjust their heartbeats and movements, and when they are in the water, they can distribute oxygen to where they are needed, such as the brain and heart, and other parts. It is a temporary hypoxia.
In this way, this method can make people use oxygen more rationally and persist for a longer period of time after taking a breath.
The reason is simple, but it is too difficult to do it, especially to control oneself, neither Zhang Xiaobao nor Wang Juan can do it. The people here can actually do it, which is really extraordinary.
"I have decided to give him better treatment, and even set up a special department for him to do this. When the time comes, his family will also receive Luzhou and prevent them from staying elsewhere."
Zhang Xiaobao has made a decision in his heart that such talents must be retained, and now they cannot be promoted. After more people learn this method, others will know how the Zhang family treats talented people. , This talent is not only on the knowledge of words, but also on all aspects of skills.
Zhang Xiaobao believes that in this era, there are more skilled craftsmen who have been buried. They did not pass on their own skills. Finally, a certain special skill disappeared in the long river of history. It is a kind of kind to the entire Chinese nation. loss.
Wang Juan also knew Zhang Xiaobao’s thoughts. She also wanted to make her country stronger, touched the note that was passed back, and said: "Grow up quickly. It will be the strongest period of the Tang Dynasty. We Go talk to Li Longji, how can you make him less faint when you talk about it?"
"Simple, war. As long as he keeps fighting, he will be energetic. I already have this plan. I don't need to think about it now. It's still not up to that level."
Zhang Xiaobao had a plan for the future. After thinking about it, he said: "Now I have decided to deal with the Ning family. I can't fight back after others have attacked and resolved it. That is not our style of doing things. Since we have attacked, Then there must be the consciousness to withstand the counterattack."
"Well, yes, counterattack. Shouldn't they catch the people from the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce and let them correct? The seals they used should be fake. Is it dumping? Let Qinzhou's economy collapse?"
Wang Juan shook his small fist and found that he had no good way to clean up the Ning family.
"That won't work. It doesn't mean that Qinzhou's economy can't be destroyed. The economy-based economy is still easy to clean up. It is too unitary. It is enough to directly target food. What should the people do
This time I am going to use deception. It is aimed at the Ning family and will not have much impact on the people. The poor way is about to break the precept, Amen! "
Zhang Xiaobao was happy when he found a great talent, and he was going to make the Ning family unhappy.
Wang Juan smiled softly, "What's the mess, are you going to let people come to them and tell them to benefit, and then you can cheat?"
"No, no, that kind of deception is too low, I will show you the highest state of deception this time, so that people will be sent to the door to be deceived." Zhang Xiaobao smiled slightly.
Wang Juan’s big eyes blinked and looked at Zhang Xiaobao. What she likes most is what Zhang Xiaobao looks like at this time. Don’t look at the body of a child, but whenever Zhang Xiaobao does something, especially when it comes to deception, she will It was discovered that Zhang Xiaobao would have a unique temperament in him.
That kind of pretentious look really has the aura of self-respect in the sky and the earth.
