Chapter 921 Part of the autumn harvest has begun
)
The cannibals were arrested one by one, twenty-seven people were beaten to death, and the remaining fifty-four people became prisoners.
In fact, nineteen people were actually killed directly, and eight others were seriously injured.
The medical staff who accompanied the team looked at the injury and concluded that they had the chance to cure five, but three of them were unable to make the situation. Pastoral Tang Dynasty 921
However, if these five people have the opportunity to treat them well, it does not mean that they need to be treated. The reason is that it is not worth it. Only those who have the Tang Dynasty would do their best.
The seriously injured person who was not dead was shot and threw him into the sea. Among the remaining fifty-four people, some were slightly injured. At first, they shouted, saying it hurts and said it would not work. When they found that eight seriously injured people turned into corpses, they stopped shouting, fearing that they would be dealt with.
The battle ended quickly, and ended with one-sided down. Two people on the Tang Dynasty were injured. One was nervous when shooting, and the butt stock lost its position during the vibration, and its chin was bruised. One could see a swollen piece. The other was when climbing the enemy ship that surrendered. When he grabbed the rope and climbed, his hand accidentally placed it between the rope and the side of the ship, and his three fingers were swollen.
These two injured people will be punished after they go back. Even if you feel uncomfortable when you are injured, you will also be punished. The injury you suffer is that you have low combat skills and poor basic skills. If you are sent out to rescue, a small mistake will cause the hostages to be in danger.
The two injured people did show a worried expression, sitting next to each other, looking at each other, saying nothing about the same illness and no one came to comfort them. It was just a punishment, which was not a big deal.
The fishermen who rushed over were very satisfied with the battle process and the results, but were not satisfied with the number of people who cannibalized. There were only more than fifty people, too few, just 5,000 people. The Fuzhou shipyard was going to expand, and there were no hands to level the small hills and potholes behind it.
"Where are people? Here's all?" Chen Xihong asked a cannibal who was tied up and down to change the boat.
Fortunately, this person could understand the Tang Dynasty dialect and replied: "It's a storm."
"Premature things." Chen Xihong cursed and began to look at the two captive ships, looking east and west, shaking his head: "If you don't need it, go back and change it, put it on the water next to the dock, and be used as a water restaurant. The two boats are next to each other, and the boards are laid on them, and they are used as catamarans. You can still get a little bit of dining in the place."
Chen Xihong was active and immediately found a good place for other people's boats. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his solution was good.
After discussing with other fishermen, everyone agreed to get it, letting their families help cook on the boat, which can also increase their income. The fish they cooked themselves are provided to the restaurant, which not only provides multiple sales channels, but also saves the intermediate price increase cost of buying other people's fish in the restaurant.
For a group of fishermen today, Chen Xihong is the most knowledgeable among them and is willing to listen to his words.
Chen Xihong again negotiated with No. 576, and wanted to buy a boat without taking advantage of the guards.
No. 576 originally planned to give the boat directly to them. The wood on the boat was pretty good, so it was easy for them to tear them down and rebuild the small fishing boat themselves.
Now that I heard Chen Xihong say he wanted to buy it, and it was a negotiable meaning, No. 576's attitude changed.
"I'm sure I bought it, not wanted it?" The last time I asked on the 576th.
Chen Xihong nodded, suddenly felt that he had encountered the words on May 76 today, but he couldn't remember them for a while.
"Five hundred stags, bring the money and give it to you the ship." No. 576 gave a price.
"Get up? Build a new one, two hundred slabs is enough, and it also includes the mast and sail. Look at that one, the mast is gone. If it weren't for the timely handling, the ship would have disappeared, and the sail on the other ship was broken. We have to cut the masts back and the wood is good. It's more than enough to use it to make a beam of two rooms. Pastoral Tang 921
Now it is a second-hand ship, we have to get it back again, at most one hundred and two... Ah, Guan, 100 Guan, yes, you have to take it back and play yourself."
Chen Xihong almost drove out 120 stakes, thanks to his quick reaction.
"I will give you one hundred coins, but in the future we will go to your water restaurant to have dinner, you will have to give us a 20% discount, and you will always do so." There are additional conditions for the 576 bargaining.
"No, it's expensive. You have been here to eat it all the time and take a big advantage. 50 pounds. I will give you 9.5% off in the future, but I can't order expensive dishes." Chen Xihong was thinking about the price issue.
No. 576 shook his head and said with a smile: "When it comes to doing business, you are too far apart. Not to mention that you are better than Xiaobao and Young Master, Xiao Bei and the others are also better than you. If it were Xiao Bei, they would agree immediately."
"Why?" Chen Xihong couldn't figure it out.
"Because you have a 20% discount, you will also make a profit. We go to your place to have a meal. We have a lot of people, and you will naturally make a lot of money when you go there. At the same time, it is for publicity. When others see soldiers stationed in Fuzhou come to your restaurant for dinner, they think the food in your restaurant is good. You will also bargain and then tell me that I will sell the boat to others. We will go to have a 20% discount. I believe there are many people rushing to buy it."
No. 576 was a little disappointed. Although the fishermen on the opposite side were smarter than other fishermen, their intelligence was limited, and the problem was not comprehensive enough.
Chen Xihong slapped his thigh hard: "Oh, I remember it, no wonder I am familiar with it. The newspaper reported it, saying that if the child asks for it, he will give it if he can, and he cannot explain the truth. If the child negotiates, even if it costs a penny, he will have to talk with the child.
Let the children understand that family affection is family affection, and agreement is agreement, just like when Xiaobei and the others negotiated with Xiaobaojuanjuan. They learned another trick. When I went back, I would do the same to my children and cultivate them, but there was a problem."
Wu Qiliu looked at Chen Xihong and signaled him to continue.
"The problem is that we can't afford a hundred coin of cash. We are building a new house. Now life is better. Unlike before, the money saved by several generations can only be used to build a house for the children who are about to get married.
We make money easily. We have to demolish all the small houses in the past, build two-story buildings, add a large yard, grow vegetables in the front yard, raise pigs in the back yard, and feed water plants from the seaside. The money is just right to feed people and buy materials, which is not enough to buy a boat, and there is also the cost of opening a restaurant in the future."
Chen Xihong showed a embarrassed look, but there was a hint of happiness between his eyebrows. It seemed that he was looking forward to the new house very much.
"Congratulations." No. 576 bowed his fists and followed with joy.
Chen Xihong smiled shyly: "Hehe, thank you, I want to say thank you. Xiaobao and Juanjuan's longevity tablets will never be removed. We know who is good or bad. We know in our hearts that other officials have money at home. We will doubt that Xiaobao and Juanjuan have money. We think it is normal that we don't care about the rules of business as officials."
"Thank you." No. 576 also thanked him. People praised his master's house, and then gave an idea: "You can tow the two boats back and then go to the money house to use the two boats to make a loan. Your family runs a restaurant and is it a woman and an older person? There are many words on the Internet in their name. The money house will give a very low loan interest.
If you have people in your family who are relatively unhealthy, the interest on the loan given by the money bank will even be lower than the interest on your deposit, and there is also the government’s tax exemption policy.”
"Can two ships borrow 100 trump cards from the money house?" Chen Xihong didn't believe that money houses usually estimate the price of things very low.
"No." No. 576 shook his head: "But you can lend a hundred yuan to the restaurants of two ships. You use a restaurant to borrow money, which is a project. Using a ship to borrow money is a physical mortgage. According to the risk ratio of the investment return, the risk of the former is less than the latter, and the bank will evaluate it."
"I've learned a lot. People often say that any of the people from the Zhang and Wang families are very powerful. Today I agree with this statement. If you use all your thoughts to deceive people, your two families will definitely be invincible." Chen Xihong said gratefully.
No. 576 still smiled and said, "The highest level of fraud is not to cheat, nor is it to deceive anyone, but to be free from lying wherever you go. My little lady said since she was very young that there are no scammers in this world, and they are all good people, haha." Pastoral Tang Dynasty 921
"Uh! Hahaha, I've heard it, I've heard it. It's said that Juanjuan was still laughing at that time. A maid said there was a liar on the bridge. Juanjuan said how could it be possible, good people, they are all good people. Go and bring Xiaobao. Hahaha, when I think about it, I can't help laughing. I did what you said, there is no danger, right? Will the money bank in the Internet think we are not real?"
Chen Xihong smiled happily for a while, then turned the topic back and became serious.
No. 576 said firmly: "Go and go, this is not a fraud, because fraud cannot be invincible. What is truly invincible is benevolence. The court has a policy of support, and what kindness is what old friends want."
Chen Xihong happily continued to discuss with the others, and then decided to send someone to watch the local area. The other fishing boats took the prisoners back and waited to hire a large ship to help pull the two ships back. They dragged them themselves too slowly, and everyone agreed.
Chen Xihong told No. 576 that the agreed-upon matter was again reported. No. 576 proposed to use four new ships to help tow the ship back directly, without charging, just to see how the new ship's power system is.
When the fishermen heard this, they were happy that they were not happy to save money, but could look at the boats flying on the water before.
Li Qing, the princess of Tongbei, introduced to the fishermen like a tour guide: "I don't know how many new ships the Ministry of Works have built in total. I only know that I sent four ships to Fuzhou, four ships in Quanzhou, and more to Luzhou, but people don't tell me that my princess's power is not enough to inquire.
What I can learn is that small diesel engines are placed behind the four ships, which are more finely crafted and have higher failure rates. Especially the propellers placed below are calculated by Xiaobao and Juanjuan for a lot of effort. Yes, it is calculation, and this is the importance of knowledge.
Then the Ministry of Works sent a skilled craftsman to grind a little bit on the lathe, and almost had to do it again. It was not that it was not possible, but that was required by Xiaobao and Juanjuan. It involved noise, thrust, etc., and it was very good to use unqualified products on other ships, but it just didn't meet their requirements."
"Prince Qing'er, we know that it is said that Xiaobao and Juanjuan want to build our own Datang Heavy Industry, and they have high requirements for craftsmen. You can find an error of 0.2 mm by just a glance and touching.
The simplest training class requires a beautiful multi-function hammer with a small hand file and an iron rod, because with this hammer you can make better things with the hand file, and then continue to do it.
What we want to know now is when will we be able to use this ship? So fast. Once this ship comes out, other ships will climb the same way. Can the same thing be used on the big ship?"
A fisherman plucked up the courage to say what he thought to the princess Li Qing. His hand was pinching his legs hard, nervous. It was the first time he had talked to a beautiful princess in his life. If he had never dared to think about it before, he thought he was very boring.
Princess Li Qing noticed the other party's nervousness and felt a little disappointed. She thought she had not done well enough. If it were Xiaobao and Juanjuan here, I believe the fishermen would not be so nervous, but in fact, their status is much higher than that of themselves.
Considering the question asked by the other party, Li Qing felt that it was not a secret to reveal, so she replied: "Some ships in Luzhou are already in use and need something called diesel, which has been used in the military. If you want to use it, I guess it will take five years or five years to study more advanced technology and start to be put into the military aspect, and civilians can lift the blockade."
"Are you afraid that we will buy technology to leak?" the man asked again.
"No, you can't imitate it at all. You can use it. You can take it apart. You have to spend money when the fashion is not back. You can't use it now, because you don't have enough diesel. Are you willing to spend 5,000 guan to drive the same boat back and forth? Unless you are a rich man who uses it to play and fish, what fish do you have to catch to earn money."
Xu Qing said that she actually didn't know the price of diesel. What she knew was that the output was not high and was used in military research.
When the fishermen heard this, they were discouraged. It would be better to have money to buy a large steamer with steam engines in the future.
Many cannibals who came from afar were caught, and the news quickly went to the newspaper. Many people complained about the storm, and not many cannibals drowned a large number of them, otherwise more slaves would have done things.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan knew the news earlier. When the fishermen just discovered that there were too many cannibals, the telegram was sent back, and other telegram offices received the signal and transmitted it to the west at the same time.
"Everything is stable. Now you only need to enter India from here, then quickly pass through, and attack more cannibalism." Zhang Xiaobao put down the information and said to Wang Juan walking with him.
Wang Juan also had a copy of the content in her hand. When she knew that the last thing that needed to be worried about was solved, she was also very happy.
As for how many cannibals encounter storms, she didn't care at all. Fortunately, she survived and went to a near-shore place. Otherwise, she would die. She would always be worried and wasted a lot of manpower and material resources.
At this time, their team had already passed through the settlement area of the Meng tribe. The people of the Meng tribe did not show any hostility. Instead, they prepared the sheep and placed them on the side of the "road" of the team. There were also practical leather, some cut into pieces, and some cut into strips as straps.
There is even a person who can speak simple Tang Dynasty dialect and wants to exchange things with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, especially salt.
Zhang Xiaobao thought about it and did not exchange salt with the locals, but introduced the people surnamed Cuan who were preparing to follow him as a translation and asked them to trade.
The team just exchanged some silk with the people surnamed Meng and some seeds of crops, telling them to plant them well, and it will be very valuable if there are too many in the future.
The translator from the surname Cuan said very complacently that they had endless salt there and the price was cheap. If they wanted to exchange it, they could bring things with them and warned the other party not to use force to rob, because there were Tang people stationed in the local area and their weapons were very powerful.
The man with the surname Meng couldn't believe it first, and then he was very happy to get Zhang Xiaobao's confirmation. The man with the simple Tang Dynasty had not seen the real thing and had not started exchanging it, so he couldn't help but bargain with the man with the surname Chuan. He pointed to a sheep and said, "One is for the salt of the skin."
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the sheep and his wool weight was probably more than 40 kilograms, which was not small. If the leather bag was filled with water, it would probably be about ten kilograms, but the salt would sink, and it could be about twenty kilograms.
The man with the surname Cuan shook his head and smiled.
The man with the surname Meng said again: "These." He compared half of the place.
The man with the surname Cuan still smiled and shook his head.
After considering the surname Meng, he lowered his hand, which was about one-tenth of the water bag, and looked at the people in the surname Cuan.
This is because he considered that the other party just said there was a lot of salt, otherwise he would have been willing to bring another sheep over, and there was still so much salt.
The man surnamed Cuan picked up half of the sheepskin next to him and said to the man surnamed Meng: "These sheepskins are replaced with salt for a while."
The man named Meng began to be angry. He thought the other party was lying to him. How could he change a little sheepskin to a salt filled with water bags?
The man surnamed Cuan quickly said in the other party's language: "Really, there is a lot of salt. Dig it casually. Some of them can be eaten directly, and some have to be processed. It is not worth it. I also want to sell you a high price, but I am afraid that Xiaobao and Juanjuan will get angry. I promised before that it would be cheap for you to eat salt.
If you don’t believe you can find a few people to go back with me, I’ll let you see with your own eyes how much salt is, and you can’t finish it. But you have to walk when you bring it back, and your back is too heavy."
"We are not afraid of sinking, so we will ask someone to go with you immediately." The man surnamed Meng was still worried before he was sure, but he chose to go over and take a look.
The matter was solved like this. Later, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sent a telegram to confirm through the people who stayed behind. The people with the surname Meng were very happy and said that they were willing to consider being classified as Tang Dynasty, provided that they could not be slaves after being classified.
"Now we should speed up, continue to go west, cross the territory of Liuzhao, and then turn northwest, where is the Brahmaputra River, and there is a front line of ours, specifically attacking the many cannibals who are bypassing from India. Let's cooperate with them."
Zhang Xiaobao stopped, opened the map and said to Wang Juan.
Wang Juan looked at the map and nodded, "It's so fast. India and the food-dense areas have begun to harvest wheat and other autumn crops. The fleets that hope to attack the straits have time and cannot let them harvest the food safely."
"Let's go over now and ask the small countries of India first, asking them why they provide help to the more cannibals, and then talk to them about the purchase of food. If they say they don't sell it, we can attack them on the grounds that they want to continue to support our hostile countries."
Zhang Xiaobao agreed.
"What if they say they are willing to sell?" Wang Juan asked.
"Impossible, you are willing to sell ten kilograms of wheat for one cent?" Zhang Xiaobao meant that he had to suppress the price.
"If you want, you can exchange for foreign exchange." Wang Juan said with a smile.
"Uh! That's one hundred kilograms, I don't believe this evil." Zhang Xiaobao said in anger.
Today is a chapter, I recommend a book, late Tang Dynasty, everyone can go and read it.
Chapter completed!
