444 Preparation 1
Hong Wu raised his hand and said: "Mister is planning to let you marry a princess back. What are you so surprised about? The husband said in the letter. He has his own arrangements and nothing goes wrong. You just need to do it. Why? Just don’t ask. You need to complete these two things as soon as possible. Your husband asks you to arrive within two months. You must not delay this time. Also, after you leave, here is to ask Hong Ming to come back to preside over."
Chen Yu sighed and said, "Well, I listen to Mr. and Brother Wu... But what should the mission prepare?"
"Don't ask me about this. Your husband didn't explain in the letter. Since you are claiming tribute to the subject, don't dress like the present. How the indigenous people wear it, follow the form in the table above. I guess you have to find your husband to write. As for other things, I don’t know. Anyway, if you think about it yourself, I’ll have a headache if I think about it too much."
Hong Wu had confessed the matter, but this matter was not so easy to handle. At night, in the main house of a small courtyard in the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Yu and Liu Lilan were still discussing the matter. Now that the matter is decided to be handled, it must be done well. Marrying the princess will not be discussed. When the time comes, Nangongyi will know what is going on. But how the mission should prepare and what to prepare is really a little bit. It's difficult. Although Hong Wu said something according to his idea, Chen Yu still has to think about it in detail.
"Erlang, you should take Sabah and Santop with them. They are the real people here. If they act as guards, no one else can look at them."
"I know that it is not difficult for people, but what is good about offering? People here are precious. I don't dare to take conch and animal skins to offer. Even if I pretend, I can't afford it. Man, by the way, don't you want to go to Chang'an to see it, or I will take you there too."
Liu Lilan wanted to go, but she was really afraid that Nangong Yi would not allow her, and she couldn't ask each other here. If it was because of her that Nangong Yi was dissatisfied, she would feel uncomfortable.
"I'm afraid that my husband will not allow me. If I go and my husband is unhappy, what shall we do?"
"It's okay. Bring the delegation. The number of people is not a small number. With so many people, what does it matter if you are too few? Okay, it's arranged like this. Time is tight. I plan to leave in three days, hopefully two months. I can make it inside."
But Liu Lilan asked, "Erlang, how are we going?"
"First take a boat to Guangzhou, and then take the land, so that it won't attract people's attention. Then you can buy some horse-drawn carriage equipment in Guangzhou."
In the other small courtyard, Hong Wu was also talking with Jiang Chun. What they were talking about was naturally a boat.
"Manager Hong, you can rest assured that the owner asked me to supervise the construction of six new large ships, and I will try my best to complete them by the end of next year. Now Zhuhai Yuan Shipyard Woodworking Workshop is working hard to process the materials of these six ships, which saves it. After a lot of time, six ships can be built at the same time as long as the shipyard here is built."
Shipbuilding Hongwu didn’t understand, but he just wanted to know when it could be completed. Now that Jiang Chun gave the time, he would feel relieved. The shipyard has been training and teaching newcomers over the years, so that one day it can build several ships at once. Big ship. In order not to attract too much attention, today’s large ships are all carried out in the shipyard established in Siam City, but the scale of this shipyard is not large, so a shipyard will be rebuilt. The Zhuhai Garden is now only built. boat.
"The young master’s letter once said that you should build a stronger ship without considering the carrying capacity of the people. You are an expert, and I don’t know much about it, but you must do what the young master says and do not carelessly. As for the steel-making materials mentioned by the young master, I have already sent a letter to Mu Jiande and asked him to supervise the matter. When the time comes, you will have good materials here, but they will leave to break the leaves, I’m afraid When I come back, it will be the end of the year."
Jiang Chun said: "Manager Hong, as long as they can provide me with the steel parts for building the ship in March next year, there will be no delay."
Hong Wu nodded, and said: "Okay, then I will feel relieved. Now, it depends on how Mu Jiande is doing."
Liu Qiu, the most important work of the people in Nanwan City today is mining. They mainly excavate pyrolusite, and mine green plaster and coal by the way. As for the use of pyrolusite and green plaster, they don’t care, they just need to mine. That's it. Hongwu didn't give a number. They transported a batch of pyrolusite last time, which was more than two thousand catties.
With the intensification of mining, more and more pyrolusites have been discovered. Now there are a lot of piles in the warehouses on the wharf, but they are still continuing without stopping. I didn’t make much of the green plaster, but it was almost full of a small warehouse in the dock. As for the coal found, let alone bring it back. It’s comparable to burning wood. It's easier to use.
Today's Liuqiu has a small population, and most of them are transferred to Luzon. There are less than 20,000 people here, and there are nearly 8,000 people in South Bay City. The population of the northern region is about the same as here. Had it not been for the reclaimed large areas of farmland in the northern region, so many people would be needed to cultivate it, I am afraid that there would not be so many people left here.
Over the past few years, Ono Maro has trained these people very well. Not only can they speak, but their behaviors are not much different from them. They even learned how to fight a battle. Although there is no city built here. , But the buildings in the settlement are not the original bamboo and wooden houses. They are all built into brick houses. Now it has become a big town with a name, called Haihe Town. This is the end of Quanzhou. The businessmen who do business took it because the town was built on the big river that went out to sea.
In the Nanwan City’s City Lord’s Mansion, Mu Jiande was responsible for mining matters to meet demand. Now Mu Jiande is no longer a farmer in that small fishing village. He has become a qualified authority. In the city, his The prestige is very high. For Cai'er, this is something to be happy about. Now she has become a mother, and her life is superior and practical. She cherishes this hard-won life very much, and is grateful for bringing them here. The owner of the house. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
In the room, just as Caier put her two-year-old daughter to sleep, Mu Jiande came over.
Cai'er asked, "Why are they looking for you so late?"
"Isn't it still for mining? They just want to ask how long the mine will take. After all, everyone still has to look after their homes. They have to do the work in the fields. I have told them that when this month is over, they will take people. Halfway back, only five hundred people were left to continue digging. Alas! The owner didn’t say how much, so he could only continue digging. The child fell asleep, right? By the way, is the mother-in-law better today?"
Cai'er nodded and said: "Mother is better today, and Zhao Langzhong has also come to see him. He said it will be fine and it will be fine in a few days."
"In a few days, the mineral material will be enough to carry a ship. I plan to go to Siam with the ship. You have followed me here for these years. I have not left yet. I want to take you out for a walk. I heard that the city built there is not small, much larger than this Nanwan city."
"Well, good, let's go and have a look together at that time." (End of this chapter)
